Ok, here's my issue for some reason, for the last three weeks or so my phone dropped my data connection, i live in a 3g only zone,
i called verizon to see if they could fix it, they gave me a trouble ticket but nothing was resolved, i took a trip to ontario, ca, and my 4g worked no problem, but when i tried to switch to 3g, to see if it was fixed, the data never came on, I got home and my friend stopped by and he has a Thunderbolt to i asked if we could switch sims to test it out, my phone miraculously got data back and his also had it so i done know whats happening, i switch the sims back and again my phone had no data, at this point i am seriously confused as to why the data worked on both phones when we swapped the sims.
and then, a few days later my my 3g data came back, i was glad and thought verizon figured it out, but then 3 days later it dropped out again, i call Verizon again, and they told me my issue was not necessarily resolved,
This is what the rep told me:
"Our network engineers have identified the issue as a coverage problem, there is a site plan for your area but due to budget cuts it will come around in 24-36 months, as of now your best solution is a network repeater."
Seriously? months...
anyways i argued with the rep that this wasnt just in my area it was anywhere that ive gone and i have another phone of the same exact model on my plan that does not have this issue.
the rep told me that they would send me a replacement, to see if that would fix my problem.
So in reality I have 2 Questions,
First off, Any ideas on what i can do to try to get my 3g back up?
and second, if it comes to this, How can i make sure that my phone is completely free of any trace of root,
I plan on flashing the All-in-one EE4 stock rom (no root) and letting it update itself through the ota and wifi to ep4
will this do the trick?
i just don't want to be charged what could possibly be the full retail price for my phone.
My Current setup:
ROM: Tweakstock 1.1
Kernel: Imoseyon 4.0
V6 Supercharge (just installed today in hopes of keeping my phone) from Zeppelinrox
3g Turbo Charger (also installed today in hopes of bringing 3g back) from Zeppelinrox
new phone well be here on monday so i need to know how to do either of these within 6 days
*forgot to add that this also happened the day right after the ota for Gingerbread hit my phone, and now that i think about it, the other Charge I have on my phone plan has not chosen to install the Ota because its on a ROM that she wants to keep
update
flashed EE4,
during the setup process it showed the 3g in the notification bar, but no activity, got to where it asks for gmail, couldnt set it up until i connected to wifi, then 3g dissapeared,
turned off wifi, and 3g never came back,
went to Settings>About Phone>Status:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: -85dBm
Mobile network type: eHRPD
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
Mobile Network State: Disconnected <------ every now and then it flickers to connecting but changes back almost immediately.
will update to ep4 through ota to see if that does anything
Try going to a store and getting a new SIM.

Weird, flashed tweakstock with its own kernel and v6 supercharger, then this morning my data is back again
Well since its pointless to try and troubleshoot my 3g now, i am still considering on swapping with the phone they sent, mine is a little scratched (very minor) so how do i make any previous mods invisible to vzw?

Flash the EP4D (OTA) complete [not debloated or rooted] ROM with the PIT with SamsungPST. Absolutely untraceable. This isn't a Motorola phone.

SamsungPST is what they use at Verizon stores to flash Samsung devices. Not sure whether it has any difference from Odin as far as flashing goes, but you never know.

Good point and will do
ok this is what i did,
1. installed a brand new 2gb sd,
*the "certified" phone came without sd, sim(obviously), battery or back cover, and it arrived with ep4 installed*
2. loaded ee4 stock rom and charge.pit using samsungPST,
3. checked the repartition box and left the rest unchecked, and flashed it.
4. rebooted and skipped activation steps,
5. connected to my wifi and let it download ep4
6. installed ep4
does this leave the phone 100% stock now?

Yes, sounds like you did a thorough restore job, you'll be fine.
Here what I did to return my phone:
Use Odin to flash pit file and OTA original(can be found on this site). took my sd and sim out (Verizon reps told me to do so). Wait for new phone arrived then send back the old one.That's it.
Samsung PST

Alright flashed the brand new GB radio from "someplace." Still have same problem. Sometimes I have full bars but no 3g and can't get calls tried to test and calls don't go through so my phone is kinda pointless... I'm really panicking I need this thing...
When you installed the new radio did you also install the LTE radio?

There are not two separate radios to install. If you downloaded MR3, it will work if you're on a GB Rom. If you're on a froyo Rom then you need a froyo radio.
Also check to make sure your battery door is completely attached. Your antennas are in the door and it must be attached.

Went back to MR2 radio now since I know it's not a radio issue. Battery door is completely sealed. Checked to see if the metal was bent in any way and it's not.
EDIT: Every time I reboot it gains bars back for a bit but no 3g. I've tried calling during this period to no avail. Then it looses bars with just an x over them. The one thing I am thinking is there any possibility that the sim just died...
Did you check your mobile network settings? Are you on LTE only mode possibly?
As goofy as it sounds, when I first rooted my TB awhile back I completely lost signal then was able to pick up 1x and that was it. I did a factory reset on the device (as instructed by VZW), and it actually worked. Nothing else had been done to the device besides a root, no one else could figure out what exactly went wrong, but the wipe restored it back to "factory" root and it worked perfectly.

No LTE/CDMA. I have done like 30 factory resets lol. Called Verizon to make sure there was no outage. I'm getting a new device (Not refurbished shockingly) over-nighted. The big bummer is having to reroot and such, but hey the guy was nice about it and everthing so no complaints. I can live without it for one day. Thanks for all your help guys!
Rooted with Altered Beast just a few days ago. Flashed Gummy Charged 1.9.1. No issues until I downloaded the wifitether app. After a reboot shortly after using the wifitether app my 3G/4G (data) has completely gone away. I have wiped/flashed lots of times. My boot animation seems to have an issue as well. Kinda flashes in and out almost like it is getting stuck. I also tried a reflash of ABeast through Odin as well. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm going to try to go back to stock. I'll let you know what happens.
I made it back to stock, but no success in getting data back. Any suggestions?
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Verizon noticed u trying to use it and cut your data...... or u just have moblie data turned completely off? Either way id takebit to Verizon, could just be a bad similar card

i always wonder why people flash Altered Beast still, only cuz its so dated... anyway you got back to stock, now have you tried odining different modems? or even flashing a different rom? either a froyo one or GB...
Id odin a new modem try this its ep1q just odin in pda http://www.mediafire.com/?96cc17rha8a7o1a if it works Id go to ep1w. Also when you got to stock did it say missing sim and not let you activate your phone and did you remove your sim?? If your able to activate its not your sim card it could be the modems. As for the altered beast I only started flashing about a month ago and there are so many threads about how to get cwm... I (being paranoid) read posts for a full week before flashing. What I realized is there should be an updated sticky on the most updated ways to get to root and rom. Now that I know what im doing (kinda) I can read the posts and know whats what..when your new to this its damn confusing. An altered beast was the first link I came to when researching.
It was def. the sim card. Took it to VZ today and had it replaced. Not sure what killed it though?
Flashed a few roms on my phone and never bricked it whats so ever. It shows the IMEI, how ever it doesnt match the IMEI it have on on the back of the phone. The phone came with 2.2.1 Froyo and i upgraded it with ODIN using KJ6 2.3.6 GB rom. I can connect to wifi and such. It's not the sim card cause it works with all my friends tmobile phones. I get bars on the phone with the sim card in it. But when i attempt to make a call it says "Not registered to Network" i went to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, i went there to do the APN Manually i tried setting it to Default and it didnt help either.
Anyone know's how to fix this?

I got all day to try to fix this. I don't want to try reflashing things cause i don't know if i can mess it up or cause more problems.
So.... you have flashed a few ROMs..... meaning you have at least ONE nandroid back up from when the phone worked?
If you do... you are good to go. If you don't..... good luck to you. You have what sounds like a generic IMEI.

Well i don't, didn't know i have to. So in other words it's impossible to get this phone back on?
I had the same issue with my phone, it just wouldn't stay on Network, and the SIM would go back and forth from being recognized or not. I flashed back to stock and it still didn't work. The ten minute battery pull was suggested in another thread and a few people swear it works. Mine played up before this was suggested so I never tried it.
I had the same thing happen with my wifes phone and all I could link it to was the Kj6 modem...see link below. I reflashed the whole ROM and it came back.
With my phone I just called T-Mo and told them that since I upgraded to 2.3.6 via Kies that my phone wasn't working properly (Technically true, but a little stretch). I flashed Bhundvens 1click to stock, factory reset, etc...etc... then paid $20 and got a replacement phone via UPS in about 4 days.
I not saying you are having the same problem as I did, but it sounds very similar.
As a side note, the replacement SGS4G (refurb) they sent me absolutely blows my original handset out of the water when it comes to signal strength. I get solid 4G speeds of 5MB+ in my house, where before I only got patchy edge. I was amazed at the huge difference in performance between two supposedly identical handsets.
I hope you can get this remedied without an exchange, but you should be able to get a new one for $20 as a last resort.

Back ups are suggested all over this forum. Now you know. It is not impossible... google 'generic imei' and look at the dozens of ways people have had success and failure trying to remedy it. There are a ton of threads in the SGS 4G forum alone.
And whether you fix it or get a new phone... make a back up of your efs folder FIRST thing along with a nandroid back up. It will save your ass if this ever happens again.

Ok I've flashed 4.0.4 then CWM to 4.1.1 and nothing. Flashed 4.0.4 and nothing then flashed GB on it and nothing. I'm out of ideas.
Maybe you didn't save properly? Don't press back when done inputting everything, but press menu>save.
If that doesn't work, there's a remote possibility it's a problem with the SIM card. You might want to go to your carrier store and ask for a new one; in my experience this is usually free. Other than that, if flashing a whole new ROM doesn't fix it, I have a hard time understanding how it could be anything other than a hardware issue.

Hi guys. I am curious if anyone is aware of any methods to force the Charge to use LTE only that works with more current iterations of Android. I did find some threads about this topic using the search and how to enable the hiddenmenu with dialing codes.
Code:
The method I attempted is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081491&page=2
I was able to use the dialing code to enable the hidden menu alright, but the code **583 to grant me access to the LTE radio options doesn't appear to work with the newer android versions.
I live in an extremely rural setting, yet we did get LTE here last summer. The problem is the phone goes in and out of CDMA/LTE (3G/4G) constantly. Out here in the sticks, this is our sole source of internet, and we do have a grandfathered in unlimited data plan. As such, I'd sure like to take advantage of it by using 4G speeds whenever I'm not on the phone.
Anyone know any methods to accomplish this now?
For what it is worth, I am currently running Gummy Charged GBE 2.1. Although I am not married to it by any means.
Thanks again!
This would be incredibly useful, but the problems are:
1) We probably need a custom RIL with deep ROM/kernel integration since we are on GB, or an ICS+ ROM which needs a RIL anyways.
2) Voice/sms has to go though CDMA.

GummyCharged is a terribly outdated rom that hasn't had any new development for well over a year. It didn't even work very well. Also it was never updated to FP5. We're all using "Tweaked 3.2" and loving it.
If you're able to run Gummy you're obviously not updated to FP5 and that is the single best thing to ever happen to the Charge. You need to be on stock to get that. I suggest you go here and explicitly follow the instructions to install EP4 stock. I'd suggest using the Pit file too.
Then take the 2 over the air updates from Verizon. That will put you on FP5.
Then go here and get "Tweaked v3.2 ROM + 0302 CWM recovery" and install it with Odin. This should make your phone run really good. I don't think you'll have any luck with making it stay on LTE all the time though.
You may actually get more than two OTAs if you are still on Froyo. The Charge had since upgraded to gingerbread, a major improvement.

He said he's on GummyCharged. Being on a custom rom he can't get updates from Verizon at all. That's why I suggested EP4 stock then the updates.
I don't see why me being on Gummy Charged is worthy of a laugh. As it is "outdated," and I still have it -- that must mean that it works well enough for me. I've had it for a long time now, and I haven't moved to anything else, because I haven't needed to.
That being said, I did say that I wasn't married to it. But the thread was about forcing the phone into LTE mode. If your comments or "recommendations" that I switch to a different ROM don't address the issue in question, why mention it?
I've thought about migrating to Tweaked... but with the thread topic in mind -- does that get me to LTE only? If not, how does that apply to this topic? If yes, awesome... don't laugh that I have Gummy, just let me know that Tweaked can do it, and I'll make the switch at once.
In closing... as you used to be able to do this with dialing codes, I assume there has to be SOME way to tell the Charge, "Right now, I don't care about texts/calls, you Stay on LTE!" And then when you need voice/sms to tell Charge, "Ok... NOW you can go back to CDMA!" At least I am hoping that's the case. That's what I'm after.
Okay. Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Having used GBE 2.1 and Tweaked 3.2 I know how much better Tweaked is and I couldn't resist making the suggestion. I'll bow out now. Bye.
Sent from my SCH - I510 on Tweaked 3.2 + Lazarus + dSlice Tweaks
FYI, **LTE works on Tweaked 3.2 with Lazarus Kernel 01/09. I'm sure it probably works on other Tweaked versions and I don't suspect the kernel would even matter.
I have not tested the LTE lock in extensively. I know that feature works, but I don't know how well it works. You may want to consider getting a more modern device like the Razr or Rezound, as they can easily lock in LTE using the app Advanced Signal from the Play Store. They also generally have better basebands. 4G on the Charge is actually pretty good though.
For the record I went ahead and installed Tweaked/Lazarus, and my phone switching between 4g and 3g is now the least of my problems. After upgrading to Tweaked now my phone keeps telling me the SIM card has been removed and reboots shortly thereafter. Apparently that happens every once in awhile on the Charge (according to Google anyway, I had never had it happen until tweaking), and the easy fix is to remove the battery and SIM card, replace them and reboot. Well, after about 10 removals and reboots, that doesn't look like the answer for me.
Dang it.

I had something similar to that happen. It was a dirty SIM. Clean the gold plate with a clean cloth and reset the phone. That should fix it.

Cleaning the SIM card didn't help. But I went back to gummy from Tweaked and then Tweaked again directly from Gummy without going the recommended route back to stock and it's working now. Well, that part is... but SuperSU doesn't appear to be working properly now. Any app that needs root continues asking for root privileges "forever" after I grant it. And if I open SuperSu I get the following "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I'm laughing just to keep from crying. I come to ask about forcing LTE and now I'm on the "fix a problem, create another one" train. I hate that stupid train!

Sorry for the troubles. As unusual as they are it still sucks to get them. The supersu issue is likely just a permissions problem. Did you go into the superuser app first? Maybe try flashing just supersu, or re(dirty)flashing tweaked.
Sometimes its just better to not poke the bear lol. Sorry my tinkerings have picked up the bear role for you.
Got SU resolved.
I flashed a version of su from CWM.
I then openedSuperSU.
She informed me that the binary needed updating.
I told her to update.
She complained my current binary was incompatible.
I installed superuser from Google Play.
I re-opened SuperSu again.
She again told me that my binary needed updating.
I told her to try updating again.
She did.
It worked.
I uninstalled the superuser app.
SuperSu is singing to me.
I used that to take advantage of TweakTools granting me access to Fast Charge. It works.
Ok, so now I am on Tweaked 3.2 like all the cool kids. Now, I just continue my search/journey for forced LTE.
Or maybe if there was an easy method to boost the signal strength so that it doesn't go running back to 3G. I dunno... but back to my designated mission now.
Forced LTE works on Tweaked 3.2 with **LTE...

Can you explain what you mean to me by "with ***LTE"?
Cause I am on Tweaked 3.2 now, and I don't see an option to force LTE. If it's there, I'm looking in the wrong places.
Punch in **LTE into your dialer. It is a dialer code. If it won't work, enable hidden menu first.

I just tried this, and it works perfectly. Fyi the global button is the default setting.

Sweet! That's the ticket, and what I was looking for!
All that's left now is to:
A} Test it and report back.
B} Remember to set it back to normal when I'm not doing Web Dev.
