Flash a ROM, lose 3G? Help please. - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue changing ROMs. I was originally a CM user, but I've been running Evervolv for the last few months. I decided to flash CM again yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine for a bit, until I turned off the wifi and realized I wasn't getting a 3G signal.
I tried rebooting, reflashing, messing with the settings for quite awhile and nothing seemed to help. Eventually I decided to wipe again and flash a Sense ROM. I STILL could not get a 3G signal. After much experimenting I wiped again and flashed Evervolv back onto the phone. Much to my dismay, no 3G.
Finally I restored my nandroid backup I made before I loaded CM and surprisingly everything works just fine again and the 3G is back to normal. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I'm not a noob at flashing ROMs, I've had a few different ones on the Shift and tried many on the Hero before that, but I must be making a silly mistake somewhere.
If anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Unsure but evervovle had messed up my phone to when I first got my phone, i had to RUU just to reset... So I'm gonna say unless someone else offers a viable option, hit the 2.2 RUU

Thanks thronnos. If no one else seems to know the cause of this I'll give that a shot.

You said you nand back and now 3G is working.. So if you flash a fresh ROM now does 3G continue working or only while using the nand??

I tried to flash another ROM this morning, 3G still didn't work. Had to nand back again to get it to work.

I think your best option would be to run the ruu.

Thanks for your help guys, everything's working great again!
For anyone else who runs across this problem, going back to the RUU and rerooting your phone WILL fix this issue.

The ruu is a great tool to have. Glad you got it worked out

Have any of you guys flashed both this and noobnl's ROM? Currently Im running noobnls and its pretty stable so for. But it still has TouchWiz. So since Boss is suppose to run stock, can any of you tell me if Boss is as bug free as noobnls?
What custom kernel does this rom have. When I check settings>about phone>kernel version it says 2.6.29. Isn't that the stock kernel for DI07 or am I mistaking?
Since Andromeda Galaxy has shown me bad battery life thus far, I'll be testing this out when I get home. Is it based off of DI07? I know it says newest OTA in the OP, but I wanna be sure.

Is this kernel better than the stock one? noobnl said the stock one was better than his in his own thread or is this a new one?
I tried to flash this 4 times and it flashed ok. However, the problem that I'm running into is that my apps does not reinstall. I tried Mybackup Pro as well as Titanium backup. I even manually re-installed all my apps from the market. On all occasions, i get the message that everything was restored. But when I go to my app drawer none of my apps are there. I turn the phone off then back on and i get a black screen with the capacitive buttons lite up and it doesn't go any further than that.
have anyone else ran into this problem?
Was your last rom deodexed?

I'm having the same problem. Haven't found a solution as yet.
Im gonna flash it back to stock with the .Sbf with Rsd to see if that fixes it. I will let you know. Some how my vibration keeps going of and on I think its a hardware issue because when I bump my phone it comes back on. So im doing a warranty exchange. I told the AT&T representative that my bootloader was unlocked she said it wouldn't mater lol I hope not.

What are your APN settings! CM9 comes with 4/5 different apn settings. Try all of them, if not use my apn from above. I'm willing to help if you post the right info. Just saying what roms your on isn't a lot of help. Its a start, but we need much more info to get to the root.

I had the same exact problem. Data on CM9 and MikMIUI was intermittent, if at all. After trying just about everything to fix data on ICS, I decided to re-flash to COMPLETE stock and go from there. Initially, I used Revolutionary to S-OFF my phone and I now suspect something in Rev S-OFF was causing the data issues. This is what I did:
1. Re-locked bootloader
2. Used Blue's guide to go back to S-ON and complete stock
3. Updated to 1.63 via OTA
4. Unlocked bootloader with HTCDev
5. Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 and Superuser
6. Used JuopunutBear to S-OFF
7. Flashed CM9
This process took awhile but I've been running CM9 Alpha 5 for the past few days and data has been solid, no issues at all. I guess JuonpunutBear>Revolutionary

Kinda sounds like there could be something to that. And I'm just spitballin this but I've never had any of these issues with data that everyone else is having, or has had (on any ROM I've ever flashed). I bought my phone S-ON and used Juopunutbear for S-OFF. Never before, or since then have i had data issues. Can anyone else attest to that who used Revolutionary to get S-OFF vs Juopuntutbear as far as data issues go?
And anyone else who knows more on the subject, is that a possibility?

For the wire trick, I used a 1/2 foot of old coaxial cable from the middle of the cable and stripped off a 1/2 inch of each end's protective layer. Seemed easier and more efficient than using an ethernet cable
i just did it and used a paperclip worked fine going to try miui now will let you know
data works fine thanks a million for input had something to do with S-on idk seems strange..... flashing the boot.img so many times must cause a bug ...... doesn't matter now all is good
try this!
Sorry, I didn't think to post here.
If it happens again, try going into a basement or elevator where you know your phone will drop connection and begin searching for network. I mean absolutely no signal. It works for me, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28881240

Aosp rom data issue

I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

I had the same experience when I did the Big Part modification and installed Omni. No radio. I tried all of the other ROMs for Big Part and only got a signal with EOS 4. With EOS 4 I only had 3G, no LTE. I have been reading about this like crazy, and have seen where people have stated that the custom ROMs made not have the radio built in, but I haven't been able to find out how to add it back or correct my situation. I have seen that other people have stated that they DO have data service after installing Big Part ROMs, so there has to be something we're missing here.
Sorry I don't have a solution. I'm hoping someone with some knowledge on the subject will chime in.

I have continued to look into this, and I just discovered my Xoom is not showing an IMEI number. It is all zeros. You should check and see if you have the same issue. I'm doing research now on how can get the numbers back.

I have continued to seek out the cause of and solution to this problem. Answers from the XDA forums and the internet in general are all over the place as to the cause, but it seems that flashing back to stock is the solution that almost everyone has found success with.
We're in a bind because you can't flash a stock image back onto the BigPart partitioned Xoom. I haven't seen a method to change the Xoom back to it's stock partitions just yet soo... I'm at a loss as to what can be done as of this moment. As soon as someone in the know posts a method to restore the stock partitions I'll flash back to stock and see what happens.
I flashed the eos ROM and will wait for this to get fixed

I thought you might be interested. This is apparently what needs to be done to get the stock partitions back on the Xoom. Basically just going through the BigPart procedure again, but replacing the BigPart recovery with the regular one. Some time over the weekend I will probably give it a shot. I have been using my Xoom with EOS and 3G service (not very good 3G service) for a week or so now, but I would really like to get my 4G LTE back. Looks like a lot of Stingray users are having data issues with BigPart roms.
