Rooted - Now no 4g/3g/1x. What gives?

Ok, so I purchased my Thunderbolt yesterday, and of course, first thing's first. Root.
I am familiar with the OG Droid, and rooted it using the RSDLite method. I am also familiar with using ADB to push/pull files, as well as using apkmanager to modify apks, primarily for themeing purposes, but I do a little bit of XML editing, as well.
I am also familiar with my wife's HTC Incredible, and I have rooted it (Using the UnRevoked method) and flashed a few custom ROMs to it, as well.
I took on the manual rooting instructions for the Thunderbolt, and all went easy peasy, other than being a bit time consuming. I thought I had it all worked out, and was running Plain Jane (flashed using CWM Recovery) and with the recommended baseband/radio (flashed from hBoot).
But I noticed when I left my house (where I was using wi-fi the whole time) that I wasn't getting any 4g/3g/1x service whatsoever. I had cell signal, full bars in fact, but no data transfer.
So, I tried flashing a few different radios, and I just ended up flahing BAMF Sense 3.0 with the mr2 baseband update for gingerbread ROMs.
I still have the same problem. I get cell reception, but no data transfer. I can get momentary data if I tell the software to check for a software update. 3g pops up, it checks for an update, and when it is done, 3g goes away and I once again have absolutely no data transfer. Can't surf the web, or use any apk that requires data.
Anybody have any pointers? I have made sure that the mobile network option is checked in the settings. Aside from that, I have no clue where to begin.
Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

Only thing I can think of is the radio. I'm using the .627 radio from the inj3cttheory rom post in dev section.

Hi, and welcome to the tbot community!
a few quick questions,
prior to flashing did you check MD5 sums on both the radio and rom?
and did you delete the PG05IMG.zip file you flashed during the rooting process from your sdcard?
also this may sound like overkill but did you wipe everything (data/cache/dalvik/bat-stats) 3 times?
i would recommend re-downloading both the rom and the radio and check MD5 sums. then put them on your sdcard and make sure their is only one PG05IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard. this next stuff is important; connect phone to your computer and verify that adb recognizes your device. then reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/bat-stats 3 times each. and after that re-flash the rom first, let it do its thing as normal. after the rom is installed do not reboot just stay in recovery. at this time you need to use adb to reboot into the bootloader to flash the radio. after that just reboot like normal

Thanks for taking the time to write up your response.
To answer a few of your questions, I did check the MD5 for both the radio and the ROM, and found them both to match.
I did wipe thoroughly, at least 3 times, in fact I went so far as to go into the "Mounts" section of CWM Recovery, and I wiped everything (Data, Cache, System...) from there as well (save it be for the SDCard).
What I did NOT do, however, is ensure that the phone rebooted directly to the bootloader. Instead, I selected "reboot system now" from recovery, and just tried to catch the boot cycle to put it into the bootloader, but that failed.
I will re-wipe everything, and re-install the ROM, and this time I will make sure to reboot using adb directly into the bootloader and see how things go from there.
Thanks for the pointers. I will report back once I finish.
If that doesn't do it, I suppose I'll have to try some different radios...
EDIT: I also did delete the radio/baseband update from the SDCard after booting back up.

If that doesn't work it may be your SIM card. There have been reports where SIM cards randomly fail and data is unavailable. I don't think it has anything to with the rooting or flashing process that causes SIM failure. You may have to unroot to get SIM replacement though.

OK, I went through the entire process over again, this time ensuring that I rebooted to the bootloader immediately after installing the ROM and letting it install the mr2 radio/baseband.
Results = no love.
Still no 4g/3g/1x.
I am now contemplating going completely back to stock to see if things work in stock form, and if they don't, then I suppose the sim card may be the issue.

OK, quick update. After little contemplation, I decided that reverting back to stock-unrooted was the most logical next step to take. I followed the steps outlined in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I only flashed the 1st file (PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip), and left the bootloader alone. So, as far as I understand, I still have an unlocked, s-off bootloader.
I now have data back.
My next question is, am I able to gain root on the software that is currently on the phone (1.13.605.7) without having to do any downgrades? Or are the exploits only functional on an older/downgraded build?
And my other question is, are there any ROMs in an RUU format that I can simply flash from my bootloader since it's still unlocked with s-off?

Success!
After reverting back to stock, I decided to attempt the rooting process again. Took the exact same steps as the first time, only this time I made sure I allowed the data connection to connect between each downgrade/upgrade/reboot before continuing on with the next step. I'm not sure if that's what made the difference, but it really is the only thing I changed. I didn't redownload any of the files. Simply used the same ones I used previously.
Anyway, I hope this thread serves as an aid to anyone else that might run into this issue.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.

Congrats! Now get to flashing some awesome ROMs!

[Q] cyanogenmod7

First post! Hopefully it's in the correct place!
Anyways,
I have rooted my phone using the ACE Hack Kit. Once that was completed I wanted to use the cyanogen ROM(recommend from a friend). I fully wiped from phone and then ran the cyanogen zip. Everything is fine until I use my phone for an extended period of time(for instance when I'm trying to set up my phone). For some odd reason my phone will freeze and I will be forced to take my battery out. From what I've read/understand I have done everything properly. Is there anything that I possibly missed or have not done that will cause these random freezes?
Thank you,

You or anyone wouldn't happen to know off hand if the kernel is UVed or OCed? This sounds like a UV or OC problem. Its an easy thing to fix if it is and I find that's is always best to rule out the easy stuff first! Some phones don't like to be UVed or OCed at all and freezes like this sometimes are caused by exactly that, UV or OC.
edit: and oh yeah, WELCOME! If you really like CM ROMs, give absolution a try (at the very least, if you or someone doesn't know if the kernel is UVed or OCed, you're be using a ROM I'm familiar with and if the problem persists on this ROM, diagnosing the a UV or OC problem should be fairly simple and I'll know how to get that fixed quickly for you since I haven't used the straight CM ROM in quite some time!) Actually come to think of it, did you check the md5 number? you could have downloaded a bad link causing a bad flash. It's rare most of the time but I have seen it happen..

If you havent downloaded any apps and dont mind reflashing the ROM just down load the full wipe place in ROOT (No Folder) of SD Card go into recovery.
Full Wipe (DO NOT RENAME AFTER DOWNLOAD)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJPE5CB7
1. Choose zip from SD Card (Full Wipe 1.5) and Install
2. Choose zip from SD Card (Cyanogen ROM) and install
3. Reboot system and enjoy.
I dont like to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik whatever method, the zip 1.5 does a full wipe all on its own. Its an EXT4 Wipe so I use it for all EXT4 ROMS that I like to try out.
!!!WARNING: When you flash the full wipe do not exit recovery without installing your ROM. So make sure that when you enter into recovery thru Rom Manager to reflash make sure that you have both (Full Wipe Zip) and (Your ROM Zip) on your SD Card before installing.
I tried cyanogen and completed hated it. Absolution is the Bomb!!! But to each their own flavor.
ENJOY

@reponse
First off, thank you for the responses!
@MMM-BACONSTRIPS
I do not know if the rom is OCed or UVed(had to look up those). Here's the link to the page where I downloaded it from. Also, I did not check the md5 numbers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965342
So far today it hasn't froze on me. However, if it does it again I'll def look at some different roms (absolution & puregandroid)
@Reinaldo33897
I did full wipe(I don't remember if the version was 1.5) before I installed the rom. If anything. I'll try absolution and puregandroid.
Once again, thank you!

Not a problem man! Be aware though with the 1.5 wipe that it DOES format your system and data to EXT4, and if I'm not mistaken if you make a back-up on EXT 4 and then format back to EXT 3, it will not work and the same applies for vice versa. If you do end up trying Absolution just drop on by the Q & A if the freezing problem persists, I or one of the devs will try to give you hand the best we can..feel free to PM if you go with Absolution

So does the 1.5 wipe SDCard also? will EXT4 end up being a problem? Also, will do! I really appreciate the help!
I'll def give absolution a shot!

No, if you use the full wipe it pretty much just does the wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in one flashable zip. I typically use the 1.5 then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. It is completely overkill and really not necessary but I do it just the same. No, EXT4 should no cause a problem. I'm pretty sure that almost all the ROMs are now EXT4 supported. I believe it would say it if it wasn't at this point. I know the major ROMS (ARHD, CD, Bindroid, MIUI) are all compatible with EXT4. The only issues you will find with EXT4 is the issue I mentioned in my first post and if you want to use gene's tool to unroot.

Welcome to xda and yes I had the same problem I was setting up setcpu and I sneezed and I accidentally pushed it all the way over to 1.9 and my phone didn't like it it just froze...I was worried :/ so I turned my phone back on and went into setting and forced setcpu to close (mind you it took a few restarts lol) but yes I had let it reset itself and now it's working again I just need to remind myself to do a nandroid once a day xD hehe

No problem we are here to help each other. Usually if I want to get back to EXT3 I just flash the rooted ATT gingerbread ROM (PD98 zip) in hboot.

I believe there is a 1.3 wipe that formats to ext 3 again, just in case the OP wanted to format to ext3 before flashing a new ROM as opposed to flashing a new rom and then having to wipe and then flash again.

Cool Thx I'll do s search for the 1.3. It be good to have.

Completely Bricked Phone (?)

Hi smart people!
Just to throw it out there, I am not very tech savvy so excuse me if I misuse terms and such.
I believe I completely bricked my phone (I hope I'm wrong). After I downloaded Cyanogen through ROM Manager, my finger stumbled on the "continue" or "next" button or whatever WITHOUT checking the boxes to clear data, etc. I believe this is where I went wrong as I think I followed all other steps correctly (fyi I used the one click recovery flasher and made a back up).
Now when I turn on my phone, it goes from the stock LG loading screen to a modified LG loading screen (Cyanogen's I'm assuming) but it gets stuck there.
I've been searching on the different threads for quite a while and pressing the different combinations of volume up/volume down/power don't seem to do anything. I cannot get to the recovery screen.
Please help! I will forever be indebted to all of you. I am stupid and shouldn't have tried to do this on my own. Thanks in advance

What you will need to do is flash CWM via NVflash then boot into CWm and install your ROM.
If you flash CWM via ROM Manager it causes problems like what you're describing, I know from my own experience of following a friends instructions and doing that then having that exact issue. After getting my phone working again I then started to frequent the boards here.

As soon as I read the first couple lines I saw rom manager and saw the problem, you to search something that you have typed out all within this thread... I'm not near a computer but you should just search through these threads and you find your solution in detailed description. You need to get recovery from nvflasher just search that

thank you..hopefully this is the last time i'll have to bother you!

The back-up could be corrupt and since the one time I had a problem with a nandroid was when it was created after ROM Manager sent the info to CWM, that's likely the case. Just redownload CM7 to your SD card, along with Gapps, wipe system, data and cache then flash CM7 followed by Gapps.

Have you wiped everything before restoring your backup through CWM? If not, boot into CWM, wipe data/factory reset, go to mounts and storage, format system, then go into advanced options, wipe delvik cache, then restore your backup.
I'm guessing you did a backup through rom manager, so if this doesn't work, you'll have to download a rom of your choice from the development section of this forum, load it onto your sd card through CWM although this is not recommended but you won't have any other choices, (to mount your sd card in CWM, go to mounts and storage, mount sd card), then wipe everything as mentioned above, then flash the new rom.
Or you can follow the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 to flash 2.3.3 via nvflash to get a working phone for now until you learn how to properly flash custom roms.
Hope this helps
P.S. for future reference, you did not brick your phone, you got stuck in a boot loop, you know your phone is bricked when you don't see anything on the screen when you turn it on, usually it's just a software issue, but sometimes it could be hardware, for example I burned the motherboard on my previous android phone trying to customize it lol

I really hate posting anything that doesn't have to do with anything phone related but I just couldn't stop myself from replying to your post!
1) I actually read all posts in the thread!
2) I did not in any way suggest that he didn't flash CWM the right way, I merely asked if he had done a full wipe before restoring his backup!!
3) Your reply was submitted while I was typing mine, so I'm sorry I didn't check the thread again before submitting my reply!!!
4) I'm well aware of what he tried to do already, but thanks for repeating it!!!!
5) If YOU read all previous posts you'll notice that my post does not exactly replicate any other, there's some new information in there that the OP might find useful!!!!!
6) From what I can tell, you need to work on your english and comprehension skills!!!!!!
To the OP, sorry for trolling your thread with this post, but I just couldn't help it, and to Bonk I hope you'll be the mature one and not reply to this post.

Is that to say you're immature? If one were to judge by the number of exclamation marks you have I'd say yes.
The only "new" thing was asking if he wiped before the restore, which, at this point, would be useless to ask as I already told him to make sure to wipe.
To the OP: How goes everything thus far?

that's what i ended up doing and it worked. thank you so much for all your help!

And dalvik cache for good measure, even though it is stored on the cache partition and will probably get wiped when you wipe cache. Sometimes it's good to overdo thing's.

Unable to do anything!
Well i was playing with the phone, rooted and kept playing with different ROMS till i would have found a good stable one, but something happened, I ended up not being able to use any functions in cwm (apply update from..., backup and restore, install from zip). I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik and i have the ROMS inside, i can see them in CWM. just can't read them. or any zip i use. what happened? is this bricked? if so do i have to go from scratch with the phone and use SDK?

UNROOT help
Hello again smart people,
I was hoping we would never meet again (for the better) but unfortunately i must unroot my phone to receive work emails. I have tried unrooting my LG G2x multiple times but to no avail thus far.
Here is the process I have tried:
1) boot into recovery - wipe cache/data factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache
2) restore - using stock rom i found online
3) flash stock recovery image using nvflash
4) (attempt to) unroot using superoneclick - AFTER GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE STEPS, IT SAYS "TRUE" UNDER "CHECKING IF ROOTED". (also, i know it is rooted because it says the phone already appears to be rooted when i try to root again).
Do you guys have any idea what the issue could be?
Thank you in advance...

[Q] random bootloop

Ever since I flashed my first ROM, my phone will start doing random bootloops. The part that is WEIRD about this, is that it only seems to happen between about midnight and 8am. I'm on my phone a lot during the day and it runs fine. It will occasionally (maybe 2-3 times a week) freeze up and need a battery pull, but it's fine otherwise.
But in the late evening, it will get weird. And there's no real key to what is setting it off. Sometimes it will start a boot loop around 12:30/1:00am but with a battery pull and reboot, it's fine until the next night. Sometimes it will start a boot loop around 6am and it's the same thing. I will occasionally have to try a few times to get it to quit looping, but it seems like once 8am rolls around, it quits.
I'm fairly certain this has to do with the fact I'm running custom ROMS, but what is it that is setting it off? I had this issue with CoreDroid and Honey SmartDroid. It was much worse with CoreDroid, and in reading through that massive thread, it was decided that it just didn't play well with a handful of phones. Some hardware issue. (which made me sad because I loved CoreDroid, but didn't want to risk my phone getting bricked since I'm out of warranty and too close to a renewel to pay the insurance claim) Honey SmartDroid didn't do it the first few nights, but then it started in.
I've tried changing my charging cable (I usually recharge at night, and thought that might be it) as well as not recharging at night. With both ROMs, I did a total wipe and re-installed, letting it run for a few days without any extra apps installed (except for a basic few, such as update to Facebook, Gtask, etc). Nothing that I can think of that changes any of my phone settings during those hours. It does it anyway.
I haven't tried running anything closer to stock ROM for more than a few hours because they honestly bore me now that I've seen how awesome of the other ones are. So I don't know if switching back would solve the boot loop issue. But if I need to do that to prevent damage to my phone, I will. I just want to know what's causing the boot loops and why only during those hours?
Thanks!

Have you tried formatting your sd card and full wipe and reflash rom. Also it is known that when a battery starts to go bad it makes the phone reboot several times on its own. Being it goes into bootloop at night when you are charging phone would give me the impression that the culprit would be the battery.

I haven't tried formatting the sd card. When I do that, do a do a new backup on that sd card? Or just put the ROM zip on the card and go from there? It might be the battery, I hadn't thought about that. I did consider that it might be the charging cable, but it will do it regardless of whether the phone is charging or not. The phone is about a year and a half old, so the battery could well be going on it.

Sorry don't want to sound mean but there is lots of threads that all have this issue with the "random" reboots or I have search all over the place but my "issue" is different.
Look up the title random reboots in this forums or PD98 IMG etc..
I'm sure you will find the issue before yet another reboot thread gets closed..again..
If you have done that and still have issue pm me if u want ..good luck

Do a nandroid backup then copy everything on your sd csrd to a folder on your computer then format the card. Then place rom on sd do a full wipe
1. factory wipe
2. cache wipe
3. advance> dalvik wipe
4. go back> wipe phone partitions (except sd card)
then flash rom see if that helps if you still have the issue then cheapest route would be replace battery which I think is your culprit. Good luck.
Your rom backup will be located in the clockworkmod folder in case you have any issues.

My apologies. I did try to do a search, but that vast majority of the results dealt with ROMs that I'm not running, boot loops that couldn't be stopped, or phones that I don't own. I honestly didn't see any that dealt with a phone that reboots only during certain hours. I understand how frustrating it is to have newbies constantly asking the same questions over and over, which is why I tried to avoid that. I will look up PD98 IMG and see where that gets me, as well as go through the threads from the other ROMs.
Thank you for your help.

Do a nandroid backup then copy everything on your sd csrd to a folder on your computer then format the card. Then place rom on sd do a full wipe
1. factory wipe
2. cache wipe
3. advance> dalvik wipe
4. go back> wipe phone partitions (except sd card)
then flash rom see if that helps if you still have the issue then cheapest route would be replace battery which I think is your culprit. Good luck.
Your rom backup will be located in the clockworkmod folder in case you have any issues.

Thank you so much for your detailed response. I'll give that a try tonight while I'm also researching the other threads I was told to go through. I'll let you know how it worked out.

No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck
SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG POST HAHA
Sooooooooo if you had ?s about Roms or Scripts,GPS not locking on after rom flashing,KERNELS (are my fav) let me know PM me

I wanted to update.
This worked great. I followed the instructions and have not had one boot loop or freeze up since. I already hit the "Thanks" button, but I wanted to thank you again for taking time to help out.

What do you mean update what Rom are you using again because if whatever Rom your using in the op should be an update if the dev made one. If I'm not mistaken once your rooted and try to do a system update the phone will freeze up.

By update, I meant that I wanted to give an update on the issue I was having. Not update my ROM. Sorry for the confusion.

What are your flashing procedures? Are you wiping EVERYTHING multiple times and/or performing superwipe multiple times,depending on which recovery you are using?

im fairly certain im wiping everything multiple times.
im using this recovery
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-speedy
So maybe im flashing wrong but i rooted the phone. downgraded to 2.2 to s-off. then flashed the radio, wipe wipe wipe. flash rom.
also tried wipe wipe wipe. flashed the radio then flashed the rom.

Hm, did you check the md5sum on the radio you flashed?

i did. when i upped the radio. i tried under 2.2 and my data was working fine. so i tried that then flashed the new rom then i lose data.

This happened to me when I switched my account to an Epic 4G I was working on; when I switched it back to the Evo Shift, I couldn't get data.
I can't say this will or won't help you, or that it's even the right way to go about things. I activated another phone we had lying around, through sprint.com. And then I reactivated the shift again and went through all the steps, put the ##code in etc., and when it rebooted, it was working. And it will still have whatever ROM you installed on it (duh). Sounds like a mess but it worked for me.
I think ## 786 # does a hard reset if I'm not mistaken. You could also try that first to avoid the hassle of what I did.

I was trying to ask for specifics of your wiping process, sorry. Now that you mention which recovery, make sure you go into the mounts & storage menu and 'format' pretty much everything but 'sdcard' multiple times each. I know alot of people take the term 'wipe' and assume we mean just the 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache' options that are displayed on the main menu, just want to make sure.
If you are already doing that then disregard.

oh yeah. anything that said wipe. i wiped. except the sd.

I had am issue like this when I switched ROMs from Sense to AOSP at one point. Ended up having to nandroid back to Sense and update PRL and profile. Have you tried going back to a Sense ROM, updating those then reflashing the CM10 ROM?
