I have an ATT captivate, I rooted it following the directions on the cyanogenmod wiki. It seemed to work.
But mobile data isn't working. It can make and receive calls. Wifi works. Gps works, it didn't work before rooting. The gps problem was the main reason for rooting this phone.
The APN stuff seems to be correct.
I'm in a hurry and desperate for help.
Thanks

Hi Guys!
I am having strange problem with my DS.
I cannot connect to my Google account,Facebook App is not working and...
Well to cut the story short pretty much any app that requires connection to the internet+credentials will not connect.Amazon appstore,Tweetcaster,Tweetdroid,Friendcaster...you name it...the only one that works is official Twitter App(weird).
When I'm tring set up my Google account all I'm getting is "Cannot establish reliable connection..." I know I am connected to the internet cos I'm writing this post on my phone.browsing internet is the only thing I can do.
Now I was searching net for this problem and the only suggestion was HARD Reset.I can rule that out cos I went even further.I flashed 5 different ROMs and problem still persist.
Next thing on my mind was there is something wrong with my carrier.Nope.rang them up and they claim all is ok on their side.I'm on 3UK and I have iPhone4 as well on 3 UK.on iPhone4 everything works flawlessly so I swapped SIM cards.guess what...the same thing on DESIRE S.
I am no noob and I went through literally all the platforms being able to solve 99% of my problems on my own but this one seems to be bigger than me.
If anyone came across this problem before or knows the answer please help.
Thank you in advance.

Okay, lets try to solve this one quickly.
First, some history...
When did this start happening?
Was everthing working well initially, and then suddenly this problem popped up, or has it been like this from the beginning?
Have you recently done any kind of modding or flashing to your phone prior to this?
Then, some diagnostic tests.
Do you have wifi?
If you do, Can you connect?
If you can, do your apps work well with the wifi connection?
Hi
Sorry i forgot to state this in first post.
Yes I have wifi and I when I'm connected to it everything works great.can connect to anything.
I did flash few ROMs while trying to fix this problem.no luck there.
And yes.it all started all of a sudden.before I was one happy DS owner.

Could you please go to Setting> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks and check if toggling Network mode helps?
Also make sure that you've selected the correct Access Point Name (The APN should say www)
Let me know what happens.
Nope.tried switching mobile networks on/off.nothing.airplane mode on/off also no luck.APN is right and I can confirm that cos I can browse Internet.it seems that downloading is fine but as soon I try "send something out" like email or tokens to connect to certain services it fails.

Must say i'm at a loss here. Usually whenever i have issues like this, going through the steps mentioned above rectifies it.
Sorry brother, i'm out of ideas here. Will try asking around for more. I hope someone with a better understanding of this will be able to help you out.
Best of luck!!
Thank you anyway.in this case any advise is good.i bet it's something stupid.
Have you tried different kernels? (Clutching at straws (but worth a punt)).
When you wipe before a clean install what do you do? Try the link in my sigi.
Any progress with your problem? If not I suggest you pm ben_pyett or olyloh or lowveld.
They're very good with this stuff and very helpful...

Hi guys.sorry I have been off the forum for a while.
This is totally strange.i found out that this is happening only at certain place.when I am at work problem is there but as soon as I get home everything works fine.it must be something related to cell I am connected to while in my work area.my colleague told me he is suffering from the same thing.he has HTC Desire HD and custom ROM on board and he is also 3UK customer.but what I don't understand at all is that my iPhone works like a charm using the same network.obviously I called customer service again and they claim there is nothing wrong with the network.
Thank you for all your suggestions guys.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted htc inspire running cm7. I was running the Inspired asop rom when this problem started. The problem is that i seem to be unable to get a data connection, The icon on the status bar is greyed out, still has an H with the 2 arrows, and 4 bars, But still if i go to the browser or market or anything involving data it dosent work? I thought maybe it was the rom so i flashed different ones, same result. i reset the apn settings, still the same. now im at a loss. If anyone could please help me id greatly appreciate it! thanks
aj.
Edit- I posted this same question last night in the general forum, just now realized it was the wrong place. I apologize about that. I was just freaking out about this. And still am. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Have you tried turnining off phone and reaseating the sim card and then turning it back on?
Thanks for the reply mate. No, I haven't tried that. Ill give it a shot.
Friday evening when I went to sleep I had a great network connection. Saturday morning, when I woke up, my phone woulodn connect to T-Mobile's network and it hasn't ever since. I've tried new sim cards, tried searching for networks, even flashed back to stock and unrooted. Everything else on the phone works perfectly, I just can't connect to mobile network or data services. I didn't perform any updates or anything to provoke the problem, it just kind of happened. Any others withsuch an experience and any other ideas on how to fix?
Is it just the data or is it also affecting your calls? If it's affecting your calls too then I have the same issue which points to the radio/baseband.

It is both the data and call connection. My phone permanently says no signal and I can only make emergency calls.
did you contact your carrier and have them try to reconnect you

A T-Mobile rep helped me for about an hour. They "reset all the settings" on my account, checked for any problems on my account, and ultimately found nothing.
sorry to hear that
assume you are not rooted
if no other answers come along, and you want to--
you could root and look into changing radios, lot of research needed and you will need to learn fastboot/adb
just depends how much phone is worth to you with no radio
not under wty i assume

Not rooted anymore. I was rooted and running EnergyRom when the problem occurred, so I flashed back to stock thinking it might be a problem with the ROM.
oh, ok
well don't know if re-rooting and flashing a new radio will help
if you re-root I would reformat your sdcard and wipe everything including system 3x in recovery before flashing a rom
kinda a completely fresh start
awesome has a couple wipe scripts on his thread in dev section also, one is kernel wipe
not sure what else to suggest
backup sdcard and phone best you can before doing anything
ISSUE RESOLVED
Thanks, SlimSnoopOS!
Alright let me say that while I am very inexperienced with ROM-ing and the like, I have done it once successfully in the past (several years ago with my Droid X) without any issues. I rooted my phone today and installed the latest D2VZW release (not nightly) of the Carbon ROM.
My biggest problem is that I have no mobile network connection. I have looked at other discussion boards with people having similar problems, but were not of help to me as I have no idea what they are saying. I can say, however, that my IMEI number is correct (had it written down), but my phone number according to the Status is 000-000-2212.
EDIT: There is a mobile network connection. I have the bars, and "4G" switches back and forth to "R". I can't, however, call or receive calls, or text message at all.
EDIT2: Upon updating to latest version, my phone number is reporting correctly, but I still can't use my mobile network connection. It does not ask me to do the initial setup upon starting for the first time after flash.
Second, there is no lock screen, the home button doesn't work, most apps don't come up at all, etc. I'm totally lost.
I appreciate all help trying to get me pointed in the right direction here, or at least figuring out what's happening. I will do my best to provide as much information as I can, and I apologize ahead of time for my lack of understanding.
EDIT: If it's not something I can fix, I'll try to reset it back to stock using the pinned thread, but I don't have time to do so right now.
EDIT2: I updated from v1.0 to v1.8, and it resolved most of the problems, which I deleted from this thread. The vital ones are still present, however.
When you flashed CarbonRom, what did you wipe in recovery? Also, have you done any of these steps? Lastly, since you performed some edits, could you clarify what is currently wrong with your phone?
Thanks for your reply! I was actually going to delete this post and start a new one because I've greatly narrowed down my problem. Just typing it all out above seemed to help me think about the problem and fix it.
After getting all updated ZIPs and flashing them, I got the ROM working properly.
The problem with the mobile network persisted, but after trying Fix #2 in your link, it worked. As far as I can tell, my phone is fully functioning now. Thanks a ton!
Always here to help!

Alright, I'd like to start off by saying I am very familiar with everything as far as root/rom, etc. I am not a noob, please don't talk down to me like I am an idiot with no clue what he's doing. Thanks.
So here's the problem,
I was getting bored with my Illusion ROM, and wanted to try something new. I flashed a MIUI rom, and everything was great until I realized I had no service. I did the whole 4636 thing and selected the LTE/CDMA/GSM/AUTO (PRL), still nothing. rebooted phone, still nothing.
Flashed to a CyanogenMOD 10.1, was able to get mms and internet working, but no calls.
Restored a backup of my stock ROM, was able to get mms and internet working, but no calls.
So now I am stuck with a phone that I can't use as a phone...
Any ideas?? Did the MIUI screw up the radio somehow? Am I missing something??
Alright I fixed the problem, Finally...
In case anyone else is having this same issue, I followed the steps listed here:

I'm having the same problem. I flashed carbon and I got stuck in a bootloop so I went back to bones and now whenever I'm in a low signal area it just goes away completely. Even in a strong 4g area I still lose connection. My calls won't even go through. Anyone know how to fix?
Read my above post, click the link and try those steps. It fixed the problem for me.
