how to connect to 4G after root? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I followed this thread and rooted my Xoom successfully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
Before I rooted I was on the 4G network, now I can't get on the 4g network. I cannot even get on the 3g network. I have Data enabled under mobile network settings and I activated my device.
Any ideas on how to connect again? Wifi works.
Is it possible I wiped the 4g upgrade off the xoom by rooting? thanks

Pull your sim with power on. It will give a msg, then put it back in and reboot. Make sure wifi is off too.

Hi thanks for the reply
I did this and didn't get any message. I pulled it and now rebooted it. Still no luck
edit: to make it more clear it says no internet connection but the signal fluctuates and it says i have 3.2.1 is that the problem? I think 4g+ is 3.2.2 but even my 3g isnt working

I fixed the problem
I tried using the 3G method to root it after it was unrooted because of the 4g method. That didn't work so I flashed the oem boot.img file. That was the 3.2.1 file when I was supposed to use the 3.2.2 one that Motorola just released about a week ago
I went back and used the oem boot.img file this time 3.2.2 and it worked.

Wifi Tether Installed but not showing up on Network

Well the root seemed to go through without any problems using the OneClickrootexploit v2.2.4
and i installed the wireless_thether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
and everything seems as if its working but the Android Tether SSID doesnt show up on my wireless network.... anyone else having this problem?
its working for me....hmmmmm
whats also weird is my htc evo tether (that i know is working ) doesnt show up on my Samsung Epic Wifi when i have it activated , im assuming its because my network is disconnected from that phone now..... i dont really have anything else to test it out with other than my ipad that is at work... so ill know for sure tomorrow

From what I have heard, the Epic only puts out a Wireless N signal. So if you are trying to connect with any device that is only a/b/g, then it will not work.

You were right .... when I used my friens iphone it showed up right away
Thanks
I had the same problem. Updated to the latest drivers on my wireless network card on my laptop and then I was able to see it. My laptop is not wireless N just b/g/
the wireless n thing doesn't make sense because I tried using the sprint hotspot and it showed up on my computer as a network to connect to, using Wifi Tether for rooted users never shows up.
Make sure your computer is set to look for Ad-hoc networks, instead of only infrastructure.
How do I set it up to look for ad hoc networks?

YEAH BABY!! I returned my phone to stock, rerooted, and installed the newest version of Wireless Tether for rooted users(version 2.0.5 pre9) and it now works. Getting 2.52mb download on 3g.
Im sure all I needed to do is update to the latest version of Wireless Tether, but I wanted to start fresh anyway.
When I installed wireless tether and tried, it would not broadcast an ssid.
From the app, pressed menu, settings, then menu again and selected re-install binaries and configs.
This fixed my tether, nice and simple. Hope this saves someone a reflash.
Works
2.0.5 pre 9 - googled it, downloaded it, uninstalled the officall 2.0.2, installed the new one and BAM! getting 1.5mbp down
Having a problem here. I am using Wifi Tether 2.0.5 Pre-11 and it works great on all devices except the Zune HD. When I use Sprint Hotspot my network shows up fine on the Zune HD but using Wifi Tether I don't get any network from my phone, but Itouch and Iphone does. What can I do to fix this? Thanks. I think it has something to do with adhoc or wirelesss N, I am not sure.
Ok now I have definitely figured it out. The app will only do Ad-Hoc and not infrastructure, any Wifi Tether apps that do infrastructure?
Use the i900 mobleAP app. That broadcasts in infrastructure mode.

I am going to give that a shot once I get out of work. I tried downloading Clockwork ROM Manager and then installed the Recovery but couldn't get it to work. Kept booting to android recovery.

works on stock ..... but not any deodexed
Ok I am going to give it a shot now. Currently restoring to stock ROM since I was tying out that Heroic Epic ROM.
SUCCESS it works. But now my Galaxy S bootscreen looks broken. It has a flickering square that says ANDROID while booting up. Happened after restoring with Clockwork Recovery.

Wifi not working on htc thunderbolt

For some reason, whenever I turn on my wifi, it says unable to scan wifi, then the wifi turns off. That was on stock, and I read about a fix for rooted users, where you delete the wifi configuration file, as it could become corrupted, so I rooted and did what it said, but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Service Problem

Hey guys,
I bought a used phone on ebay, which was in a boot loop.
I fixed the boot loop by flashing a stock rom with flash tool. After that I unlocked the bootloader and tried a ICS rom. It worked fine, but I couldn't connect to a network (no service, wifi works). It tried different sim cards and providers... all with the same issue. If I want to connect manually to a network a message pops up: Your sim card cant connect to this network. The crazy thing is that if I search for networks I find my network but cant connect...
So I thougt there may be a problem with the rom or the kernel->I tried various roms and kernels -> all have the same issues
Maybe go back to stock will fix the problem -> :crying: No I tried it.
I just don't know, what is wrong with this phone. I'm new to SE devices, so I might have done something wrong(?).
I hope someone of you can help me getting the device work.
Thanks in advance

Maybe you only need to set APN
Try to put only wcdma network,in mobile networks

Thanks for your replies
I'll try that tomorow.
The apns are correct.

I tried only wcdma:
It is even worse :sly:. The phone does Not find any Provider networks. So there is not even a chance to select the network manually.
I still think that the device has a software issue and no hardware issue, because it finds the available networks but can't connect to one.
Strange stuff.... :what:

Maybe it's sim locked?
dial *#*#7378423#*#* , look under service info -> SIM lock
0 means it's unlock
1 should means it's locked
This has happened to me before. It happened while I was using the phone, and restating at first didn't fix it.
To fix it, I went to the dialer and dialed *#*#4636#*#*
Goto phone information and turn off the radio, then turn it back on, hopefully that will fix it. It worked for me. Good luck.

I fixed the problem by relocking and unlocking the bootloader a few times.

Weird ROM behavior, no data connection

So I installed bmm without issue, made my back ups and started trying roms. I had a hell of a time getting anything to boot. I would get stuck on the boot animation every time. Finally got slim kat installed and that is the only one I can reliably boot into. Tried aokp 4.3 which booted the first time but gets stuck on the animation now.
Also, when aokp worked I had no mobile data. Same problem currently with slim kat.
Where do I go from here? I've tried clearing cache and davlik on both with no luck.

Thanks, Wasn't aware of that. I copied my APNs from my stock ROM. I get data now, just not 4g for some reason. I'm looking around to figure that one out.

I only have the options of 3g and 2g with 3g already being selected. I don't know whats going on. My stock ROM gets 4g with those APN's, re-entered everything to make sure I didn't miss anything but I still don't have 4g as an option.

Type *#*#4636#*#*
Then select ''wcdma only''
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2
Well wcdma only didn't do anything. After messing with Slimkat and another 4.4 ROM (which only worked until I rebooted) I've decided that there are just too many bugs for me to use it daily. I decided to try a 4.3 ROM but I'm still having issues getting one to boot after the first reboot. I've let it sit on the boot animation for 45 minutes and it never loaded.
I haven't found a lot of advice on the subject of ROMs only booting once. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I realize this is an old one, but I thought it might be worth mentioning...
I had the same problem. When I copied APN data (specifically "apn type") from my stock ROM data did enable, but at a very slow speed. A quick search yielded this AT&T site which suggested different settings. I was able to choose the "ATT Phone" config and modify "apn type" from "default,supl,mms" to "default,mms,supl,hipri".
When I modified that value, data was much faster, but still only clocked 3.5 Mbps on my CM ROM vs 5.1 on Stock with SpeedTest.net app. I believe it used different servers and I only did a single AB test.
...and by the way - I am also a bit frustrated with the BMM setup. It seems like a third of the time I am unable to successfully boot back into my CM ROM. It always seems to boot into Stock ROM fine. I do have CM in the second slot which it sounds like some folks prefer to not use.
