I rooted my Captivate last night using Super One Click and the Youtube video from MobileTechVideos. I installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled all the bloatware along with Tethering Manager to allow for mobile hotspots. However, this morning I discovered I now have no 3G access and can only access the internet via my wireless network. I haven't come across anything online to suggest how to fix this problem. I've tried restarting my phone but this didn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
try to write *#*#4636#*#* in phone dialer and choose Phone information or sth like this.You can find wirless preferences there. in "preferred network type" set WCMDA preferred

How do I save this preference? It's reverting back to the default.
so you have some error in rom or radio. you should flash radio first to some matching to your spl(hboot) and try to change this value in phone inf. again. What value is default and hold in preferred network type?
btw When I change this in my device, phone is reconecting.

The defualt is GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL).
I'm not exactly sure how to do what you're saying. How do I go about flashing radio?
You have to download android sdk. this pack include fastboot.exe(if you have win). it's flashing terminal working with hboot(spl). start your phone by pushing I/O btn and camera button(to spl),and connect device . system will search drivers. you can find them in sdk tools folder (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver) . if drivers will install corectly, you can flash radio. in command line (start menu>run write cmd) write cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools and enter. next write "fastboot flash radio <location and name of radio>" (fastboot flash radio c:\radio.img)
Olso you can flash radio from recovery,from option flash from zip, if radio is packed to zip and signed. you can find this too.it's beetter flashing i think. I wrote abt this at the end becouse I forgot
I know that I can made much mistakes in my posts. sorry for that . my english is not very well ...
Hello. I have a strange problem. My device was originally on Orange but unlocked with xtc clip.
Then I've installed custom rom (Runnymede S V4.01) and everything was OK. But when i decided to change it to Affinity 1.48.0 I've got not working EDGE, only GPRS was working for me. In SETTINGS>About phone> Network Type is Unkwown (Ussually was EDGE). I tried all radios, flashing different roms. And I've mentioned that on MIUI ROM EDGE works correctly but when I install again Sense ROM it disappears. One more thing, that with other SIM Cards everything is OK only with my Current is the problem. I've tried to put it into another phone and EDGE works fine.
What could it be?
Thanks for your answers.
you can try to edit APN configurations or manually set the apns for EDGE/3G etc.

I've tried. It doesn't help.
I've partially solved my problem in this may:
1. I installed Proxuser`s Saga3D V4 ROM with STOCK kernel. (But after first run i do not get EDGE working (only GPRS)).
2. I make a factory reset from SETTINGS.
3. I boot up and get my EDGE working again.
And after this i tried again to install another ROM. This time Endymion V3.1 (Endymion V1.1 kernel). After first boot EDGE was working good, but after first reboot It disappeared again.
Could some tell? Could the reason be in KERNEL? RIL? RADIO on different kernel?
Forgot to add.. My current radio is: 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11
Hello,
Your network doesn't allow simultaneous data and voice, which in turn causes a setting in build.prop to screw up Edge. In short, you have to:
- open /system/build.prop with any editor that allows mounting /system as writable (ES File Explorer works fine for me and comes pre-installed in Endy)
- Look for a line that says: "ro.ril.enable.dtm=1"
- change to "ro.ril.enable.dtm=0"
- Save, reboot and you're done
Cheers

Oh yes. You're right. My network doesn't support simultaneous voice and data.

I tried what you suggested, but the network still shows "G" instead of "E" even after changing the value of the dtm to 0.
Any suggestions?

First you should change that settings line in /system/build.prop and than do a factory reset from settings. And then you'll get want you need.

Yeah. But you can do a full backup with Titanium backup! Do factory reset and then restore your stuff back.
Also you can try with nandoid backup, from recovery, it should work too.

In my case, I restarted the phone without a sim card, then inserted a different sim card and it detected EDGE network, after that i reinserted my original sim card and the EDGE network was there.
Try if it helps.

Thanks a ton for that tip!!
Saved me from doing a factory reset!!
I just removed the sim, put in another sim and booted up... it didnt have gprs activated but was from a different carrier.
Then i switched off again, swapped my original sim back into the phone and when i booted up, EDGE is back!!
Thank you for that tip. You're a lifesaver!
Great. Now problem is SOLVED!
Thanks to all who helped.
Thank's It was helpful.
Hi,
I´ve installed CM10 a couple of times since it went out, but I always have the same problem.
I´m from Argentina, so I need to use lubkpd or lubkp1 modem. I replace the modem.bin in /radio folder, restart and in the system info I can see the modem is set up correctly.
The problem is that I can´t make 3G work correctly.
When I turn 3G on, I just loose my phone signal.
I never had this problem with CM9, or Gingerbread roms. I´m really looking forward into CM10, but I get stuck at this point and I go back to CM9.
Help please!
Look on the setting and see if mobile network setting are correct
I'll look and tell you about the best modem for argentina

Sorry for my poor english. I'm Argentinian too.
For 3g worked in cm10 (X-gamerz), i installed the modem AROLH1 from the last unbranded firmware (I9003LUBLH1). You can download from samfirmware
Also, I had to change the APN setting. I changed the IP of proxy to 200.5.68.10, port 8080 and APT Type to default,supl. Incorrect values by default had been 200.5.86.10:80 and APN Type defaul,supl
Don't forget, the EFS restore.
If doesn't work, try this to restore 850Mhz band:
Open your dialer and type *#2263# and you will see the band selection menu
Hit menu and select 'key input' and enter 2 to get to the WCDMA band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'key input' and enter 6 to select WCDMA 850MHz only mode
Hit menu and select 'back' and you are at the WCDMA Band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'back' and you are at the main band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'key input' and enter 1 to reselect 'Automatic' band selection
Hit menu and select 'back' and you are at the main band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'key input' and enter 4 to get to the combination band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'key input' and enter 9 to add WCDMA 850 to the list of bands
Hit menu and select 'back' and you are at the combination band select screen
Hit menu and select 'back' and you are at the main band selection screen
Hit menu and select 'END' to exit programming
Reboot your phone, as it will stay on 850MHz only mode until you do
I hope i can help you.

Edit: It´s working, but not correctly. 3G is really slow, and with 1 or 2 bars, while in 2G I always have the bars full. Also, it disconnects frequently.

That´s an error since CM9. Would be good to developers to change it for future roms.

When I restore my EFS folder I can´t even connect to 2g.
I stopped restoring EFS folder since CM9 because of this. Previously, on Gingerbread, I had to do this.

Maybe, is a stupid question, but: What kernel do you have? I didn't test exhaustively CM 10.1 with 3.0 version. And i didn't install CM10A5. I only can say that in CM10A4, MIUI or X-GamerZ, 3G and 2G works perfectly in my case.
Try with arolublh1 modem. If you need, i can sent a private message with the URL of my dropbox to download the modem.bin.

Hi there,
Something very strange has appears to my Nexus S.
It's been more than one year that my phone works perfectly with ICS 4.04 flashed by recovery and ROM stock, I've never reflashed my phone since this day.
Then two days ago, no more GSM network, can't pass any call or text, but data in WCDMA works perfectly.
I've tried :
- Factory reset
- Cyanogen Mod last ROM
- Tried my SIM card on the Nexus S of a friend --> works perfectly
- Tried my friend SIM card on my phone --> same issues, no GSM but data works in WCDMA
I've search a lot on google and XDA, and I've discovered what was IMEI and /efs.
But it's too late for me, my IMEI is the cursed generic IMEI, not the one written behind my battery.
I've tried to flash with stock ROM Stock Android 2.3.6 (GRK39F) with Odin because I've read that it could retrieve my original IMEI. There was no .md5 file inside so I can't flash it with Odin, else I've flash it with ADB / Fastboot.
Phone start and GSM mobile works !
But I got generic IMEI yet, and data is stuck on edge, no WCDMA.
I was thinking it was caused by the old ROM radio flashed with ROM Stock Android 2.3.6 (GRK39F).
So I've flash using recovery the latest Cyanogen and ROM radio KB3 (which was working great in WCDMA for me before all this mess).
No change, GSM works, but data network is stuck in Edge, even if I force WCDMA in *#*#4636#*#* menu, it keep staying in edge.
I don't understand all of this, but I think this is again link to this generic IMEI.
My /efs folder is not empty, I have nv_data.bin but file is dated from yesterday and I can't find any backup like ".nv_data.bin" or "nv_data.bin.bak".
This story seems to be classic in XDA forum, but it's really difficult for me to find a solution, especially for a Nexus S.
This phone is pretty old, you guys are experienced with it and I really need your help, I like this phone and I don't want to change it =(
Is there any way to regenerate my original IMEI ?
Maybe I'll try a flash with Odin and 2.3.4 GRJ22, I never tried Odin, but it seems sometimes to solve the problem. Do you think it could work ?
I really need your help guys, I'm so sad : /
Thanks for reading this, and thanks again if your reply.
hey man,
sorry to hear that...
have you tried to use your sim on another phone? the phone is 2 years old and possibly the problem is from the simcard\network.
another option is to check weather your APN's are as supposed to be.
you can check online or via customer service.

Still nothing,.. Sorry you haven't got this resolved yet.. Hopefully some fresh eyes here can make short work of it..
Thanks for your reply guys.
I've tried the sim in another phone and it works great, the real problem is generic IMEI I guess.
Thanks for your help and your link in PM Setting Out, I think I'll try the second one.... the first can't work with me because my /esf and /data/radio does not have an old backup of nv_data.bin.
I have two questions please :
- How the holy s*** this thing can happen randomly after ONE YEAR of fully founctional phone ? (not a single flash since one year)
- How can it be so ramdom ? I mean, before rom stock flash, GSM does not work but I was having Data (WCDMA). Now, After rom stock flash, GSM is working but Data is stuck in Edge. I can't understand how IMEI can impact such randomly issues.
Well, as you know the IMEI is sent to your operator as long as you have signal.
if the operator doesn't get a valid one problems may occur.
In order to find out if this really is a EFS problem go into /data/radio/log and cat the nv.log, find a line like this:
MD5 fail. orignal md5 '84373eddf2a1617f795b1c1af650f8a784373eddf2a1617f795b1c1af650f8a7' computed md5
'3eddf2a1617f795b1c1af650f8a7' (rild)
put the phone in airplane mode then use a unix text editor and manualy edit nv_data.bin.m5d and make sure the string of numbers is equal to the string after "computed md5" (in this case 3eddf2a1617f795b1c1af650f8a7) save the file take the phone out of airplane mode then reboot check the IMEI with the *#06#
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have /data/radio/log/nv.log file.
But I have no checksum in this file, only text like "/data/radio/nv_data.bin does not exist."
This is strange because /data/radio/nv_data.bin file exist.
But in /efs folder, I have a nv.log file too, and in this file I have some checksum.
Any way to do something with this one ?
EDIT : I've tried the manipulation with /efs folder, it does not change my generic IMEI =(
Sure, I verified permissions and owner of file.

Here are some detailed steps
Ensure you have one good copy of nv_data.bin somewhere on the phone. it could be located in either /efs or /data/radio
Ensure you have a nv.log with at least one line that looks somewhat like this:
MD5 fail. orignal md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' computed md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (rild)
where the X's are a bunch of number and letters.
Copy the good nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to both the sdcard and then via usb put them on your hard drive in a folder called efsbackup
(use either rootexpoler or adb shell to copy the files to the sdcard first)
Open the nv.log and look for the second sting of lines. after the words computed md5 (the first string is the md5 the phone found and the second string is the md5 it was expecting for. if the md5 it was expecting can't be found, it uses the default IMEI 004999010640000
Open nv_data.bin.m5d with a proper unix text editor (I suggest Notepad++ or jedit) and remove the sting of numbers and letters and replace it with the string from the nv.log (the second string after computed md5) and save the file
Go back to the phone and put the phone into Airplane Mode (this turns off the radio)
Copy the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.m5d back to the sdcard overwirting them
Using either rootexplorer or adb shell copy the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 back to the original folder (either /efs or /data/radio (for me it was /data/radio that did the trick))
Using either rootexplorer or adb shell ensure both files have the following attributes Owner:radio Group:radio Owner:RWX Group:R Other:R
Using adb shell type ps (this lists all the running processes) find the one that end with rild and remember the pid
Using adb shell type kill pid# where pid# is the rild process (this restarts the radio)
Go back to the phone and take the phone out of Airplane mode
Reboot the phone
Open up the dialer and dial *#06# (the universal way to get your IMEI it SHOULD be equal to the one written under the battery)
Thanks for the reply, but it can't work.
Ensure you have one good copy of nv_data.bin somewhere on the phone. it could be located in either /efs or /data/radio

I have no good copy of nv_data.bin, date shows that all have been generated last week.
So, I'd like to flash the phone with Odin rom stock 2.3.4 AND re-partition with the .pit file.
I've already flash it without the .pit, but my IMEI is still generic, I need the .pit file.
But the .pit file is nowhere, even on samfirmware : /
If somebody got this file, plz send it to me.

-I too have looked high and low for the Odin file since the Nexus S can be put in download mode holding the volume button while pluging in the micro USB. I did find some odin files but any one who tired them ened up perm bricking their phone.
-If you have a good backup it should restore the EFS partition as well as the RADIO.
-The only other way that I know of, I am afraid is to get the phone JTAGed by Samsung.
Good Luck
After two weeks of trying everything, I gave up and used a Z3X.
Now my IMEI is restored, and backup on my PC, my laptop, my sdcard and on cloud...
Thanks all for trying to help me.
Hello,
I've rooted a few phones, but I don't really do too much with them, I mostly root them to have an easier time transferring all data from one phone to the next, and for being able to use a couple of root apps. Basically, I'm not all that good at this stuff, but I can get by most of the time with enough research and time. I have not been able to find a thread that's been able to help me with this problem, though.
My V20's reception practically fell off the map after rooting it. I've been researching and trying to find a way to flash the modem files that I dumped with LGUP before I rooted it via dirtysanta, but I'm not having any luck. The files don't have an extension, but from what I can gather, they should be image files. I'm not 100% on that because I can't seem to find what file type they actually are, my computer only lists them with the description of "file". I run Windows 7 if that matters.
Anyway, based on what I've found so far, the files I need to flash in order to fix my reception problem are:
modem_COM5
modemst1_COM5
modemst2_COM5
fsg_COM5
I can't get fastboot to work, I'm not sure how to link my phone to a file path on my computer from command terminal so that's not been working for me. I've also tried renaming the files by adding ".img" to the end, zipping them and installing them with twrp afterward, but they won't install, giving me an error of "META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"
Ultimately, I'm lost. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I've spent hours pouring over threads and trying to fix my stupid reception problems. I have no reception at home, none at work, and I have spotty reception while driving or out in other places, but it's generally terrible. I used to have low reception at home, but I could always make a call if I needed to, and I'd have great reception driving around. Then I rooted my phone and my reception tanked.

I can't get fastboot to work, I'm not sure how to link my phone to a file path on my computer from command terminal so that's not been working for me. I've also tried renaming the files by adding ".img" to the end, zipping them and installing them with twrp afterward, but they won't install, giving me an error of "META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"
Ultimately, I'm lost. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I've spent hours pouring over threads and trying to fix my stupid reception problems. I have no reception at home, none at work, and I have spotty reception while driving or out in other places, but it's generally terrible. I used to have low reception at home, but I could always make a call if I needed to, and I'd have great reception driving around. Then I rooted my phone and my reception tanked.

I appreciate you making the zip, but after flashing the files my phone won't boot up. When I power it on it says that my device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot. I'm accustomed to my phone saying that when I boot it up, as it's done that ever since rooting it, but then it shows the LG logo and then shuts off and will not turn on again unless I take the battery out and reinsert it. I have to go through that process at least 2 or 3 times to get the phone to load up. When I got it to load up again, the top bar of my phone said I had no service, which it did not before flashing the files. I've gone back into twrp and tried re-flashing it again to no avail.
If it makes a difference there were two sets of files when I went to flash, even though I only put in one set. I renamed them according to your instructions, and there were one set that just had the file name and .img at the end (like fsg.img) and another set that started with ._ and ends with .img (like ._fsg.img)
Thanks again for taking the time, I really appreciate the help.

I tested the zip myself it works as expected.
The unlocked bootloader message has nothing to do with your issue.
What sim card are you using?
What are your apn settings?
What was the last Rom you flashed?
Are you on Oreo?

It's a nano sim from at&t, and at&t is my carrier. I doubt it's relevant, but I use a prepaid plan.
My app settings are:
Name: ATT Nextgenphone
APN: nxtgenphone
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
I believe the last ROM I flashed was H91510e_VTR_CA_OP_1205.kdz
Using the DirtySanta method of rooting, I think I flashed that so I could actually root the phone and then updated to another version, possibly. I'll include my software info in case that is helpful.
I'm not on oreo, I'm running nougat
Android version: 7.0
Android security patch level: November 1, 2017

Maybe theirs a setting in the Hidden menu that will help
using a build.prop editor (thanks @ezzony)
Change ro.build.target_operator from ATT to OPEN to bring back all the missing Modem_Settings and the ones that were also missing in regular Settings>Mobile Networks. Also reverted to stock icons in status bar.
in the dialer type > *#546368#*910#
then go to Field Test>Modem Settings>Network Mode and set to Automatic
reboot
you can also check that Volte and VoWifi are enabled from the hidden menu Modem settings
Also in Settings>Mobile Network>Network Mode be sure it's set to the top one (GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto)

I downloaded a build.prop editor and changed the build target operator setting, but I'm not sure what you mean by reverting to stock icons in status bar or how to do that. Which settings were missing in Settings>Mobile Networks?
I got into that other menu, but under field test>modem settings I can choose either engineering mode or PDP setting.
Engineering mode says "modemprotocol" in the top corner, with previous, up, down, and next buttons. Under that it says ITEM_2G: 0
[Serving Cell Information]
ARFCN: 0
FL_Timeout_v: 0
RXLEV: 0
C1: 0
C2: 0
Other pages for engineering mode are for Item HSPA:0 [HSDPA Information], Item_NM [general information], Item_3G: 0 [RRC State and Serving Cell information], Item_LTE: 0 [LTE Information]
PDP settings says ModemProtocol at the top and has options for [0] Set LG Fast Dormancy, [1] APN setting, [2' Block DataRecovery.
VoLTE and VoWifi are enabled in the hidden menu, but I can't access Settings>Mobile Network>Network Mode. I can't figure out how to check the GSM and other options. I can go to Settings>Mobile Networks and then I can go to:
Mobile data - just turns it on or off
Mobile data reminder
Review reminder settings
International data roaming
Disable 2G
Access Point Names
Search for AT&T MicroCell - When I search, none are found
I hope I'm not just throwing too much useless information for you to sift through. I'm just not entirely sure of what all is relevant.

reboot after build.prop edit
then all the options show up
the icons change on their own as a result of the build prop edit

Alright, I've done this, I've also made a few different access point names for att to try and see if any of those have better reception. Nothing's working all that great, but hopefully at least one of them works a little better than what I've been used to.
Currently I still have no reception where I'm used to having one or two bars around the house. I'm not sure if there is anything else to do without opening up the phone and replacing any parts. If there is anything else you can think of that I might try, please let me know.
Do you think that changing the screen would make any difference on reception? I did have to have mine changed shortly after rooting the phone, but I can't really imagine that could be the cause since I still do get occasional reception.
Thanks again for all of your help.

Any hardware change could easily damage the antenna or it may be completely unplugged. Check the tear down video on ifixit

I am having the same problem after following the root guide - no data. I'm on T-Mobile with an ATT phone running H91010r. I installed your modem.bat file with my dumped modem files using twrp, I changed the ATT buildprop to open, rebooted and made sure to select the first auto option. I tried dialing the secret menu number but it gives an error. Zero data. Everything else seems to be working phone. Data worked on stock phone before rooting. Please help!

it's most likely an APN problem
what do you mean the dialer code did not work ? it works on all H910
When I put in the dialer code and hit call I get "ussd code RUNNING" and then "connection problem or invalid mmi code"
I did get 4g working by reseting the Sim card, so I'm not panicking, but it seems slower than before. APN is off the t-mobile site.

are you sure you have a H910 ?
the dialer code depends on the Motherboard
*#546368#*910#
see the 910# at the end must match your phone
the Verizon LG V20 VS995 dialer code is disabled > worth reading
The unlocked LG V20 US995 would use dialer code *#546368#*995#
I'm not sure what works with the F800 version

Yes, I'm sure. AT&T version, model number LG-H910. Running rooted software version H91010r.
I have the same problem on 800l entered the menu changing the model 996 at the end, as I understand it, without twrp how can I fix the problem?
