First, I'm not too familiar with how ODIN works, so I'm a n00b to Samsung Galaxy S stuff. I'm used to HTC and LG. This is my fiancee's phone.
She has lost data connection. Rebooting, reregistering, turning airplane mode on/off doesn't make it come back. WIFI turns on and all that good stuff.
Here's what's currently running on her phone:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: T959VUVKB5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKB5
Yes she has root. What would I need to do to get this back? If it involves flashing another ROM (been thinking about getting her on Gingerbread) than that's ok I'll just need pointed to a good guide for Galaxy S n00bs.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm also not sure if she has clockwork flashed or not. The phone was purchased used and was already rooted.
First go into settings > wireless and networks >mobile networks > and make sure packet data is on, if it is, go into access point names hit the menu key and click reset to default.
Make sure network mode is set to gsm/wcdma (auto mode) if not try switching between the other two options and see if that helps.
If none of that works:
You can try to Odin different modems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
Try the KD1 modem first and see if she can connect.
I tried the settings already. No luck with those. I will read up on ODIN and try flashing those modems. Thanks.
Might just take the plunge and flash Gingerbread for her, but she hates restoring apps and stuff. lol
I tried that modem. Same issue. Any other suggestions? I'm open for any other ideas. Nothing has changed on the phone. No new ROM, no weird apps. Same geographic area.
I'm at a loss right now. I've never had this problem on any of my phones so I've never had to troublshoot/repair something like this before.

Sorry about the late reply. The IMEI shows up normal. It worked perfectly for a few months, and has only been acting up for the past week or so.

Are you sure your APN settings are correct? for some odd reason, I had to manually set the APN's for my carrier.
Try disabling wifi, as it won't get data connection otherwise. Then go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks and then Access Points Names.
See if the carriers APN are all set correctly. Should be t-mobile's unless it's an unlocked phone with another carrier.
are you sure that the imei's fine? or is it a generic imei?
i know this situation all to well, my efs folder got f***** and i had a back up on my sd card but as luck would have it my sd card was wiped. and ever since then i could never get a signal on the phone.
so make sure its not that issue because honeslty if it is theres not a thing that you can do about it.

The IMEI is correct. It matches up perfectly. Sorry for the really late reply.

So IMEI is correct and data packets are enable?
Do you have a data plan on the phone? Check my.tmobile.com. If you do call tmobile and *****!
Yeah data packets are enabled.
Gotta check those APN's, though. Been looking for what the settings should be.
APN it was!
Thanks! Problem is solved and her phone works fine.

I "lost" my data connection last week and spent hours on odin... N It turns out that I just forgot to pay my bill... I felt like such an idiot =P
OK since I've gotten this phone I cannot get data to work on ANY rom based on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. Everyone says do hard reboot and pull similar out and reboot and this and that and data never appears. See I have a unlocked g2x and I'm not with t mobile so I think the problem is with that, as others on this phone that doesn't have t mobile
Yes I'm 1000000% positive everything is, right, APN settings are correct and all that as 2.3.3 roms always work with the same set up. So no idea why buy it is like that. I really want CM7 or MIUI and this sucks

99% it`s sim card related, get a new sim and try again
Try using an app that backs up and restores APN's.
Its not the sim card. Are yal reading my first post? Everything works 100% correct data wise on 2.3.3 , just not .4 or .5 and I'm not the only one with this problem.

you know I been tried to install EB 2.3.5 and you are right 100% the problem does lie in the version of android but I noticed that when I first flash the ROM it workes good but if I power off or reboot I loose data but not phone. I noticed that I lose my apn settings it is a APN related issue but it is also tied into the rom. When I try to input the values myself to what they should be I press save and it just never appears in the list. I finally got it working last night I rebooted my phone and it did the same thing and the apn dissapeared and no data and so on. So I saw in a different thread about data issues to try a hard reboot and finally someone told me how to do as hard reboot. So I tried that and what do ya know it worked. So now I am running EB ver 1.08 based off CM7 and 2.3.5 and I have data and everything works perfectly. The next time you loose data try holding vol up and power until the phone resets. I hope this helps a little bit.

So I got that you dont loose your apn settings I did read your post but did you tryt the hard reboot? It cant hurt just give it a shot. Sorry if you did already. Also FatalityBoyZahy might be onto something xboarder has a apn fix that works as well. Also when you install the rom do you follow the steps I noticed that doniq says to wipe cache, wipe system, wipe dalvik,format/system. The last step I never saw on any of the other posts for other roms. Maybe it doesnt matter but I noticed that it is different and I didnt do it the first time because I didnt read.
Same issue but fortunately i was able to fix mine by pressing reset to default on the APN menu then enable disable enable again Airplane mode. Using EB 2.3.5 base cm7 source. Hopefully it works for you.
I had the same thing. It worked for a day or two, but then data stopped. Did the hard reboot and it would fix it for a couple hours at best. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to 2.3.3. Like you, I tried everything everyone suggested and nothing worked. There were enough people with the problem that it clearly is a real issue, but everything people suggested were just band-aids, not solutions.
Hi,
I'm new to xda forums so pardon me if I'm not as elaborate as most people. I flashed the cm-10-20121030-NIGHTLY-endeavoru and its been great. Had been using the AOKP ROM which was giving me issues with poor battery life, constantly switching between 2g & 3g, and getting worryingly hot during normal use. I do have one issue right now. The mobile data does work but it doesn't use the APN i enter into the settings and is constantly billing directly for data instead of going through my data plan. I've tried everything possible and it still doesn't work.
What could it be?
PS: I've also used getril to check for matching baseband radio & ril and its reporting a good match.
Thanks
You'll get a quicker solution if you post this in the CM10 Thread under Original development.But have you tried restting the APN?
Sent from my HTC One X
Yea I've tried resetting the APN but no luck. I've also gone to my carrier to get the actual APN settings correctly but to no avail. I really don't want to reflash the ROM and clear all the cache etc. It takes time set the phone back all up the way I want it so I'm hoping its maybe a radio issue I can just flash easily. Will move the post as u suggested. Thanks for responding.

Be thankful for small favors, I was sure this was another brick thread.
I recently flashed a ROM I wasn't a huge fan of, and therefore restored back to stock Sense 6 using a Nandroid Backup I created shortly before. The problem is that now my data is excruciatingly slow (in places where before I had great 4G service), and occasionally I get no data at all (even though my status bar lists me as on 4G). When I go into my device's data settings, it lists that data is on, but disconnected (something I have not seen before). At first I thought perhaps it might have to do with my WiFi being on on, but I can reciprocate the above issues with it off, so I am a bit perplexed. Could this have something to do with my kernel, or is it something else entirely? Has anyone had this issue before/found a fix for it?
EDIT: I would have posted this in the original ROM's thread, but since I am not entirely sure what is to blame for all of this, I thought it best to ask in the Q&A's forum.

No actually, when I was checking through the ROM's settings, I changed my network settings to LTE, and lost all data. When I tired to switch it back to Global, there was no option, just LTE, 3G and 2G.

Can you guys with radio issues try flashing the stock recovery and then doing a factory reset from the hboot menu? Factory reset using the stock recovery often fixes radio issues caused by custom roms.

As I understand, you have the Google edition. I had the same problem. It is an easy fix:
1 go to phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2 click on phone information
3 under preferred network type select LTE/GSM/CDMA auto
4 wait for signal bars to show up and you're done.
Hope it helped.

You may temporarily lose root. Since you are s-off once done you can simply flash back your custom recovery and reroot

You don't even need to boot into recovery to do it. On the screen before recovery (boot loader) there is a factory reset option.

Lol that was quick. Data problems are back... It seems that after extended periods of time, my mobile data status will switch to “Disconnected" and it takes either a reset of my APN's or toggling the network mode (Global to LTE, and vice versa) for it to reconnect.
I am thinking it might have something to do with the “Sleep Mode" option in Power settings, I will report back after some testing.

Actually I did, and nothing changed (around 10 minutes after I activated it, the same thing happened). Anyyyyyyyyyways I had a nice little chat with a HTC Support Representative, and she actually brought up a good point: my data issues were most likely stemming from an installed app. To verify, I ended up running my phone in Safeboot mode (it disables all 3rd party apps) all day and sure enough, I had no issues with my WiFi to Mobile Data hand off. I began brainstorming which apps could possibly affect something such as my data connection, and really only one came to mind... GravityBox. At about 6 PM today I disabled it, and so far have not had any issues. I plan on keeping it disabled for another full day just to verify, but if all runs smoothly, I will permanently delete it (I was really only using it for volume button media control anyways).

Hey Sevenix! I actually posted this in another forum but it seems things have slowed there over the past few days. I just wanted to put it here because my problem sounds somewhat similar to yours (though I'm not getting ANY data), and I just wanted to know if you had figured it out. I would have no idea what app it would be on my phone, being even more of a beginner than you said you were.
Other post below:
Hi all,
Incredibly new to this, but I've followed many a video/guide all day to convert my m8 from verizon to t-mobile. Despite the fact that most stuff is working, here's the mystery. I have no data (H+, LTE, anything), despite "mobile data" being on. Quick summary of what I did:
T-mobile sim card in-->downloaded weaksauce and SuperSu, confirmed rooting with root checker and boot menu---->Got s-off using adb bundle and firewater (mac)------>changed super cid to "11111111" via tutorial----->Unlocked, S-off, and Cid to all 1's confirmed via bootloader---------->downloaded flashify and booted TWRP via recovery image------>installed android revolution HD 5.0 and followed it up with the extra kernel you guys posted (wifi did not work before that kernel added, as expected).
Details now:
--wifi works
--Only seeing bars on top menu for call/text reception, no indication of internet/data connectivity.
--Phone seems to think that "mobile data" is turned off, despite it being clicked on (i.e. Chrome says "Offline--turn on data or wifi", Green news scroll HTC sense thing (drawing a blank here, sorry) seems to think it's off, too)
--Receiving calls and texts ok, despite being close to fringe of network (In Erie, PA), but I drove to the center of downtown too just to make sure it wasn't that. Calls clear, messages go through quick when in good area.
--Under settings, Mobile data clicked "on" but underneath Mobile data it just says "disconnected". Tried on/off, reboots, airplane mode on/off.
--Reinstalled the kernel a few times using a few different frequencies, no difference.
---Under Settings---->About-->Network---->Mobile Network type switches appropriately between Edge and LTE despite where I am in town, but still no actual data being....transmitted?.....to phone (i.e. can't work internet, check email, etc). "Service state" is "in service". "Operator--T-mobile"
EDIT:-----When I try to open SuperSu now, it tells me "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgrade to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root, consult the relevant forums for your device!" I figure this is probably a key details, but being such a beginner I'm having trouble translating this. Does it just want me to delete weaksauce and SuperSu and reinstall them again?
I'm new to this, so I'm probably just missing something here, but it seems a bit strange considering how to the T I followed most of the tutorials out there. Anyone have any idea/suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know if I will be of much help, as I have never flashed my phone to another network provider.
Anywaaaays, I assume that the Verizon M8 supports all T-Mobile frequencies? Was your phone able to connect to and transmit data prior to all your flashing? Have you tried flashing any other ROMs besides Android Revolution HD 5.0 on T-Mobile's network? From your provided information, this might just be issues with that particular ROM; I would suggest you try ViperOne, perhaps ACR, or any other compatible close-to-stock ROM. I cannot recommend anything more then this, as what you are trying to do is beyond my knowledge of this phone.
My data issues were likely related to a combination of an Xposed module not meshing well with my Sense ROM, and a faulty SIM card; your's seem to be much deeper. I suggest you get in contact with whatever member was responsible for discovering how to make your Verizon M8 compatible with T-Mobile, and continue troubleshooting with them.

I don't know if I will be of much help, as I have never flashed my phone to another network provider.
Anywaaaays, I assume that the Verizon M8 supports all T-Mobile frequencies? Was your phone able to connect to and transmit data prior to all your flashing? Have you tried flashing any other ROMs besides Android Revolution HD 5.0 on T-Mobile's network?

Ahhhh, good thought. I'll try out a different ROM later today. I already posted that summary on the thread of the OP of the tutorial, so hopefully he'll get back to me.
Thanks for the help!

I have installed ViperOne and Clean Rom and I have the same problem with both. After a while of inactivity my data will just quit working. The icon will still be there but the phone won't connect at all. I have to place it into airplane mode to fix this. And just fyi sleep mode is off and power saver is off. It's just like my phone forgets how to connect after a little while. I had ZERO problems when I was stock. And now this.....please help me!

Oh and I have also done factory resets between each Rom install so everything was clean when it was flashed.

Nope. I've returned completely to stock and am going to get a new SIM card tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'm going to get a warranty replacement.

Read santod's post here

then respond in this thread. scrosler doesn't want us to discuss this issue in his rom thread. This is the perfect place to continue.
I can't wait to try it because I have the same issue on my travels but will have to wait until I get home and to my PC. Would love to read more success stories...
In essence santod says: flash the stock recovery, do a factory reset from hboot to restore the VZW radios, then restore your setup. Should work with most sense roms, but so far the people solving this issue all flashed a RUU.
Anybody have a link handy for the stock recovery?
i've ruu'd back to "stock" and am trying this now.

Stock Recovery: Link :good:
You can find that and my firmware links in this thread.
Did the stock recovery so far so good but I won't know for sure until I get out and about today. It seems I didn't have the issue until it dropped from 4g to 3g back to 4g and have a decent 4g signal at home.
For now it seems as though that did the trick. I didn't loose data all day, we will see though.
Well it didn't work, I had to toggle airplane mode several times today to get data to work again.

Are you going to RUU?
That's what I plan to do tomorrow. It's getting to be extremely annoying. Not even toggling airplane mode or mobile data on/off does anything. I have to reboot every time.

RUU'd, stock recovery, flashed radios, and new SIM. I've tried everything. It seems as though if I'm in a low signal area where I go from 4g to 3g to Wi-Fi it happens. It's like there's a handoff problem between all the radios. Will show 4 bars of 4g but under mobile data in settings says disconnected.
Mine just started doing this. I'll RUU when I get back home to Texas.

I can confirm that it did fixed the issue, I didn't loose data all day no matter if wifi, 4g,3g, or 1x,
Same here. In the last 5 days I travelled in 3 states, large cities and very rural areas where it dropped to 3G or 1x - it never had problems to return to 4G (or getting a data connection at all).
This fix proves what's so great about these forums! I probably would have ditched a phone I totally love in all other aspects due to a problem that OEM customer service would not even acknowledge existed!
