I have flashed to froyo and now back to stock. Question is both times I flashed some of my info on the sd card was still there i.e. movies, and music. Isn't it supposed to clear out everything? My apps and contacts were gone. The reason I am wondering is now (past 4 days) since flashing back to stock the phone has been dropping Wi-Fi in my house after sitting for a period of time (about 15 min) when I pick the phone up it shows that it uploading and downloading on 3g. Then when I unlock the phone it picks up my Wi-Fi immediately. Maybe it left some files behind? Also I received a text message about an update but after download it fails at 50% every time. I have also tried a manual update with the same results. Any ideas? I might send the phone back and get it replaced. I am still within my 30 days. It really makes me mad about dropping Wi-Fi when idling. Over the last 4 days my data use has been outrageous. I have the lowest plan because I am always around a Wi-Fi connection. Plus my GPS won’t lock at all. I was going to try and get lucky with another phone. I am using Odin to flash. When I do a master clear in Odin nothing happens. If I just click start it flashes fine. Would it be ok to send it back in its current state? This is what my phone info reads.

To fix your wifi problem go into your wifi settings & hit the menue button & select advanced & set your wifi sleep policy to never (remember to turn off wifi when your done or you'll get horrible battery life) & as for the other stuff your in the same boat as all of us still waiting for a update that will actually fix gps don't worry about JH7 it doesn't fix anything & just causes more problems. & reflashing doesn't always wipe the /sdcard partition this is a good thing. & shouldn't be causing you any problems. Just wait for the official froyo or use a better 2.1 rom like cognition with unhelpful's oc kernel for now. If your going to stay with att then this is as good as it's gona get for a while.

Updates 50%
Thanks for the help! I didn't even know there was a sleep setting. Do you have any ideas why my updates are getting to 50% on the boot screen then failing?
When flashing with one click Odin, I would recommend to use the Master Clear before doing the rom flash. To Master clear, put the phone in USB debugging mode and connect. Odin should see the phone as a com port. Just remember to backup anything you want saved first. This is like doing a factory reset, it wipes all your info which may be causing your troubles.
Hello. After lots of rooting, ROM flashing, and all that good stuff, somewhere in the process I did something that must be keeping me from using 4G. When I turn on my 4G antenna, in settings it just says I'm "Disconnected" and when I scan for service, it scans for maybe five seconds and goes back to disconnected. In the settings, all three fields for 4G network information (Network provider, Signal strength, and IP address), are blank.
I used wimax_mtd and ls /data/misc/wimax/ to make sure I still had my keys, and I do, they match what's written on the back of the phone exactly. I tried this with no luck.
Anyone know what is causing the problem? I'm running a fully rooted gingerbread.

What rom/version? What provider? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
Sprint. The ROM is just a rooted version of Gingerbread (2.3.3). The software number is 2.76.651.4. Troubleshooting? I don't even know what you're asking there. I have my keys, I've confirmed that. I tried one thing from the thread I linked. I can't connect. What else am I supposed to try?

Flash the new radio/wimax radio, update profile/prl/twice/reboot twice, tweak ##DATA# settings.

Unless your actually connected Network provider, Signal strength, and IP addresswill appear blank when you look in settings. If you've confirmed you have your keys, and are in a 4G zone. Then you can try a simple trick that sometimes works. Put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes. Then take it out of Airplane mode, and try to connect to 4G. If that doesn't work then go ahead and update the radios as VICODAN said. That should solve the issue.
Still no luck
I just tried all of those steps, besides the airplane mode one, with no luck, but I'm trying the airplane mode idea right now, and if that doesn't work, I'll elaborate.
EDIT:
Okay, no luck.
So I went through and flashed the newest radio and the wimax radio, and in the process I realized that I didn't actually have the newest radios beforehand. (I also learned that I hadn't yet formatted my microSD card to FAT32, so it's good that I realized that too. ) After that, I went into System Uupdates and updated Profile and PLR, then I rebooted, and I did it again, and I rebooted. You said to do it twice, so that's why, but you said twice twice so I wasn't sure which part to do twice. (Wow, that was a mouthful.)
After all of that, I tried the airplane more thing, with no success. I've connected to 4G in the past here, and the spring website even says my area has 4G coverage, so I know that's not the issue.
Also, about the tweaking ##DATA# settings, I mentioned that I tweaked it according to the link I put in the original post, but is there anything else I should try?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Last thing to try is ##rtn#, wipes fone and resets to factory defaults, then do hands free activation.
Also make sure your [email protected] stuff is configured properly. This is also somewhere in ##DATA# settings.
You can also try flashing a different rom like CM7
But before you do that call sprint tech support and tell them to fix it. They might be able to do something on their side.
Okay thanks, I'll call them later today.

So I called, the woman had me do a few things, and after hitting restore from the menu in ##DATA#, the 4G is behaving differently. Instead of scanning and returning to disconnectec, it now goes to "turning on ..." Then to "turning off ..." And back to on again. It cycles forever, until I manually turn it off.

Well it sounds like something is still wrong. Try flashing a different Rom to rule that out. If that doesn't work, and having WiMax is a must. Then you may want to think about running an RUU back to 2.2 stock. Then just start the whole root process all over.
ok I tried download new UL2 modem I follwed dirrections first off NO ltw (maybe not in my area) but 4g icon only 2nd my download speed like .15mb
then I reflashed the UL4 modem one comes with now I get decent speeds but seems cut off a lot.. this isn't huge issue as I use wifi at home but when im out and about (which havn't tested yet) im not sure.
now I did follow UL2 let modem direction wondering if changed setting RAT setting shouldn't have... if u reflash modem to rat settings go back? when flashing modems back forth I read you delete Dcache and cache which I did but am I missing something? something else do after or something... thanks
when downloading with just network it cuts out stops in middle of download ... i dunno what deal is anyone else got info on this? if I reflash a modem back do i need fix permsions?
well i flashed orginal modem working alright guess thought icerom have better donwload speeds but wow its slick and clean looking I really like it :O) yaaaa
I had no issues with the ucld2 radio while I briefly tried it. I'm going to be honest a say u don't seem experienced enough to be messing with the RAT settings of the radio, and should leave the default settings alone. On first boot after install dial *#2263# and set to auto, then menu > end, and reboot.
Make sure your apn is set correctly, especially if you are with rogers. Using the ltemobile.apn with the skyrocket even in an area without late results in data drop outs, as the phone searches for late signal. Same goes for AT&T. Make sure you are using 3g apn values, which will work fine for 4g.
I'm having the same problem. I tried Sky ICS 4.2a, then 4.2a-8, then 4.2d, and now 4.2a-9.
I've been using UCLD2 on these and had no problems, until today when I installed 4.2a-9 and all of a sudden I can't stay on LTE more than a couple minutes. It drops down to HSPA and drops the data entirely. I've NEVER had this problem, and I've tried every radio there is. I flashed back to UCLC4 and I'm still having the problem.
I'm searching the forums for a fix right now. I might just wipe again and start over with the base/modem.
EDIT: I've tried changing the RAT on both new radios by pulling the SIM, setting LTE/ALL, then Automatic. No change.
First off what's weird is that in the Access Point Names it shows Simple Mobile(which I use) and T-Mobile. Usually when I flash a new Rom it only shows T-Mobile.
Secondly it will not let me edit any of these two APNs.
Still no service when I have the little bubble checked on either one. What's going on?
nothing?
I am going to say this even though you probably already tried it, but have you tried doing a full wipe and reinstall? If not this could fix the problem. Are you able to see the percentage of your battery? If it just stays at 100% and never changes you should look in the about phone in the settings and see if it can see the baseband as no baseband no ability to read battery and no working network abilities. If you can't see the baseband then get the app called GetRil and see if you can get a compatible one to get yourself back up and running.
If none of what I said above applies to your situation then you should try a different kernel. I am running EB AOSP 4.0.4 build 2.5 with the Harsh kernel with no problems.

I have a similiar issue just the variables are slightly reversed ( I am on T-Mobile, don't even know what Simple is, using GB roms, not ICS) Even made a similair thread on here. 2 Things, are you shutting down and then booting up or are you rebooting. I only get my data back when I reboot. I can't shut down and manually restart.
Secondly, when you go into the about phone section, does your mobile data network section say connected or disconnected?
I've read a lot on the internet but have not found a good answer for me. In certain locations, almost daily, I get either a "not registered on the network" message or a "sim not allowed ##3" message on my Infuse. If I switch the phone to airplane mode and then back off of airplane mode it always reconnects to the AT&T network. The problem started after I changed my ROM from Infused 1.5.3 to Zeus 6. I've flashed to Mind of Mac 1.4 but that didn't fix the problem. I've tried a new SIM card, different APN settings and several other changes, but it didn't help. If I have a good 4g connection it never has the problem. It never re-registers on the network until I do the airplane mode on and off thing or reboot the phone. My iemi number shows up weird on the phone too. What is the best way to fix this problem? Thanks.
No one has a clue?
No one has a clue how to fix the problem? It happens when I lose 3g or 4g connection.
What modem do you have?

Modem
I currently have UCLB3. I have tried a few different ones but it does the same thing with each one I've tried.
Sounds like you know what you are doing , unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. If going to settings > mobile networks > network operators and choosing AT&T does not fix it the only thing to suggest is return for repair or exchange. As you know, you will have to return it to stock so after you do that you may want to test it one more time. Sorry, not the answer you wanted but the best answer I have, Regards.

From recent experience - I would avoid using the fixes listed above as they will change your IMEI.
I say this as I was having a similar issue -- I had been running on the ParanoidAndroid ICS rom for a few days and my I997 started to do the same thing. Network connection was fine most of the time but it would occasionally drop out to no network. Except swapping between airplane mode didnt always fix it. If i rebooted the phone and it would pop up with "Unknown" Baseband Version, and no IMEI/IME SV until it connected again... whenever it decided to do so.
I flashed a few different modems to no avail.
Used GTG's stock restore... and it still showed no baseband or IMEI.
Searched through everything i could find and I found the 2 above posts. Being the cautious person that I am, I was skeptical to run the "fix" since I know playing with the efs folder can do.. fun things.. I backed it up with EFS Pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
So after that - I did the fix from those two posts. It worked. I got a signal. HUZZAH. But I could only make a few calls before it would drop out, and I couldn't send or receive text messages at all they would just stall and error out.
So I took a look at the IMEI again and noticed that it was NOT *my* IMEI, it was presumably the imei of the person who Truckerglenn got the backup from so long ago.
Figured at this point my phone is going to have to go back to Samsung to fix since it's still dropping out, the IMEI is wrong and I can't send texts
Can't break it anymore than it's already broken right?
Go back into root browser, delete the EFS folder entirely. *poof* gone. Reboot. Use EFS Pro to restore the backup I had created (GOOD THING!) phone reboots. Instantly picks up the signal again, I get 15 text messages, 2 voicemails AND my IMEI shows what it should be now.
*HOPEFULLY* it holds onto its connection now. If not, back to stock and back to samsung it goes - now with the correct IMEI. heh
Sorry for the long story
Thanks! May have found a partial fix.
Thanks for the tips and information. I think I may have found a partial fix. It seems that picking the "WCMDA only" in the "Network Mode" options seems to solve the problem for me. If it is set on "GSM/WCCMA (auto mode)" option, it seems to cause the "SIM not allowed ##3" or the "not registered on the network" problem when I am in an area where the 4G or 3G signal is weak. I will do some more testing. It appears that if I don't have 3G or 4G available in any given location my phone won't connect to the cell towers at all even though other users can connect without any problems. Does this give anyone any other ideas? Do I possibly just need new APN settings?
Have you tried flashing a new radio? Does a complete wipe and restore to UCLB3 make any difference?
Has any of these roms/firmwares that you flashed been done so through Aroma installer? I know Aroma gives you the option to change modems, and if your download was buggered that could have caused it.
I'm just tossing ideas around here... I'm up early and looking to help.
The work around works
Yes, I have flashed the radio but that didn't help. I have discovered the "fix" is to set my phone on "WCDMA only". It seems that the phone will only work if 4G or 3G is available. I am not longer getting the original error messages. So that's a good thing. If I ever go to where 3G and/or 4G is not available I will have to try something else. Thanks for all the replies.
