Anyone else have this issue? came from cm7.
cwm, wiped delvik,cache,data

Under settings>about phone, what shows up for Baseband? And under status, what shows up connectivity-wise?

under baseband it says
T959TLJL3
in my status i have ...
network- can rogers wireless
mobile network type - UMTS:3//HSDPA:9 (switches between the 2)
service state - inservice
mobile network state - connected

That's a Samsung vibrant modem-- not necessarily a bad thing but your phone may not like it. Try flashing a i9000 modem for ICS

I did too, and was unable to solve. Went back to Doc's ICS rom and used the UG3 Modem

I didn't have any issues..are you flashing the correct essentials package?

That is the version of cwm I have with Slim 3.4. I have had no problems with data. My only suggestion, if you want to try again, is that you flash base first then, without rebooting, flash essentials. I would also suggest that you have your preferred modem loaded on to your sd so that after you reboot, you can see if your modem will work.
This is an outstanding ROM.

I also have this version, flashed several roms, modems, did the modem dance, and not getting any phone signal, only wifi.
Would it be good to try a USB solution instead of cwmr?
I dont have any clue of how all this technical things work, I just follow instructions and then it does not work.
I need a helping soul, please.

I love the jl3 modem personally. Make sure you have the correct APN settings first before changing anything else.

Just to add my "me too" to the discussion. I couldn't get Slim ICS to work for me as a phone - no data, no phone (I couldn't call from my home phone). I flashed a modem I knew worked for Doc's - no change. I checked the APN and activated - no change. I reinput the password in case the APN had it wrong - no change. I reflashed the whole package and tried all these again - no change.
So I reflashed Docs. As soon as the first boot concluded, my phone was telling me I had a missed call (from my home phone). Whatever the issue is for some of us, no one has come up with an answer yet. We just have to stay away from that ROM.

[Rom][ODIN] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2

Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.

Tmo
Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend

Captivate doesn't get any signal

Hi Guys, so here's the thing, i just installed a new ICS rom in my Captivate(i897), but apparently it installed a new Radio/Modem, so when i turn it on, there is no signal at all.
Now i suppose that i need to found a Radio/Modem that works in my country, but i've tried a few from here , where it says I897-ICS/CM7-9/MIUI Modems, and there's no solution.
My country uses 850mhz, hope that someone can help me..
By the way, before installing the ICS I made a backup, but when i restore, it doesn't work either, maybe it doesnt back up the Radio/Modem
You're correct about the restore, it doesn't restore a modem. You need to find a default 850 MHz modem on that website and look for a modem that is listed on this list as default 850 MHz band. Hope you get it working!
My question is this.. That list that you give me, they're all for i9000, but my Captivate is i897, is there any difference?
If you're on an ICS or CM7/MIUI ROM then you have to use an I9000 modem for it work...
Ok, i've tried almost all of the 850mhz modems from the list that you gave me, and still nothing.. what else can it be?, i'm using CM9 ICS
What bands do your carrier use, not the country...
850.. BEFORE installing the ROM it was working perfectly.. there is no way to recover the factory Radio/Modem?
This is the ROM that messed up my radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362092, now i'm seeing the common issues, and the radio problem is in it. Here is what it says:
Try flashing another modem. If this fails, make sure you have the correct APN settings; and as well that your EFS partition is in working order (check your IMEI number). Big thanks to Oxicottin for the modems!

How do I check that EFS partition?
Back to basics first. Was the USB cable plugged in to power or computer when you flashed?? If so the only cure is a reflash of the ROM.

I don't remember.. probably it was, let suppose it was, so i need to reinstall the rom that inicially screw this up?, and then what?
If the USB was plugged in during initial flash then there's no other option than to reflash the ROM. After that you should be good to go.
Good luck!!
[SOLVED]
I tried reinstalling that ROM, still nothing, now what I did was using Odin and reinstalling a stock rom.., now i have full signal..
Thanks for the help!
I'm surprised checking to see if your imei was wiped or your apn settings has been brought up.

Nope, everything seems to be exactly like it was before the issue.
Here's what i've done.
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. Download the stock rom in the post, and followed the steps to put the phone in download mode.
Type *#*#2263#*#* in the dialer
Select [2] WCDMA Band
Select [5] WCDMA 850
Press menu-back button and insure that there is only a star next to the wcdma menu. You should be okay from here but a reboot would be a good idea.

Btw, flashing a rom plugged in is fine in most cases, I do it all the time. However flashing a modem more specifically, requires you to unplug the USB cable. Unplug to be safe anyways, or make sure you know if the rom is installing new modems with it.

[Q] Why does this happen? NFC Related

Ok, so I've discovered something interesting. Being the crack flasher I am, I often flip flop between AOSP, the occasional AOKP and TW roms. Seeing as I have a little 7 year old brother, my mother finds it nice to be able to instantly transfer stuff back and forth when dealing with him thru NFC and WiFi direct, so NFC is a big factor for me, in addition to being able to use Google Wallet. I notice that as long as I stick to AOKP/AOSP, my NFC is fine, but the minute I flash a TW rom and go back to AOKP/AOSP, it instantly breaks NFC functionality completely, regardless of me doing anything else.
For instance:
1) Odin back to stock ICS
2) Flash CM10 or any other AOSP/AOKP rom and check NFC functionality and its able to be toggled
3) Flash TW
4) Immediately flash back to CM10 and NFC will be grayed out and unable to be toggled
The same could be said for doing it this way:
1) Odin back to stock ICS
2) Flash TW
3) Immediately flash CM10/AOKP/AOSP rom and check NFC and it's grayed out and unable to be toggled.
What can be going on in TW that completely snaps NFC functionality so that you can't use it in CM10? All the MD5 checksums are valid and none of them have issues when being flashed, so I know it's not in part to doing anything wrong. Also, the only way to fix this is to flash back to a TW rom OR Odin back to stock if you want it to work in CM10 and stick to strictly that styling of ROM.
Known AOSP problem, it's not TW.
I don't know the technical reason for why but I have read in passing that you must have NFC checked on the ICS rom PRIOR TO flashing an AOSP rom. NFC is unchecked by default on TW so each time you observed it greyed out in AOSP roms is because you did not leave it turned on within TW. It sounds weird, especially since you wipe data when switching between roms but try it and see what happens.

I'm not trying to hi-jack your thread, but i have been trying to find a solution to my nfc issue... Have you ran into a situation neither tw or CM10/AOKP/AOSP won't enable. When i try to do it in tw it just jumps back to the off position. and in cm it just stays grayed out.

This is the answer, works great.. Thank the man!
Did you know there is a NFC fix zip in the CM10 nightlies discussion? Flash this in recovery after you flash back to CM10 and it should fix NFC.
Props to the person who made this zip (dont have time to look right now, sorry)
Lol I know about odin'ing back to stock and all that, I was being curious as to the technical reasons as to why flashing a touchwiz rom then going back to cm10, even through a restored backup would cause the nfc capabilities to break, that was the purpose of the thread thanks for everyone's input so far

3.Turn NFC on/off/on (it works)
4.Restore my CM10 nandroid

Turn on nfc, sbeam, basically everything. That's weird its not working. What I did was restore a nandroid of Jellybomb, turned on everything, went to recovery, did not wipe anything, restored aosp rom, nfc worked.

[Q] [SOLVED] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.

This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

idk..this may sound silly but if you want to try:
1. go back to stock gb
2. take out sd card
3. factory reset
4. cm9 flash twice..run it to see it imei and data is intact. then boot into cwm. factory reset
5. flash a 4.1.1 build..check imei and mobile data.
6. then flash 4.2.1 build
...disclosure: i'm guessing
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Hmm. Interesting. I didn't think of trying to step up the JB versions. I'll try that and report back. Thx.

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

Sounded like you've pin-pointed the problem to a change from the 4.1.2 to 4.2.1.
Im losing it all after i went back to stock gb 2.3.6
I changed the APN settings on my device as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526 advised. I'm running 4.2.1 AoCp and my mobile data, MMS, etc. all works fine.

Yup. Those are the settings I try to input, and the thread I try to use to do it. But it won't save.

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

This thread is exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately it's for the SII, but it's the same. The bummer is that we can't run GetRil on the infuse. I'm stuck again. At least it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this particular issue. Any help?

It's working!!! :good:
I grabbed the UVKJ6 modem, flashed it, and APNs are displayed and working.
I've tested with 4.2.2 versions of Beanstalk, Paranoid, SlimRom, PAC, and The Collective's (shout out to dman who spoiled me with Zeus).
Tried to re-download and install the JB version of my trusty UCLB3 modem, but it would not work (for me) with any of these ROMs.
I've never been so happy to have my notification bar freeze! Lol.
I'm assuming this all has something to do with the stage of development for JB? Idk.
I can't thank you enough. You really came through when I needed help. Thank you Sir.
Good to hear.
You Prolly just needed to re flash a modem.
Blscallions deserves the credit for putting those together.

I'm having the same problem as you, but my data won't work at all even after turning wifi on/off. On the pull-down menu it says that I have no service. I would love to try the modem fix, but this is all brand new to me and I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me out here?

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.
