Are you coming from another phone, say, a 3G phone that the retailer may have taken the SIM card from and put into your A2?
The ATRIX 2 is a 4G phone, and if the SIM card from a 3G phone is used it will cause connectivity issues.

Yes,i used my sim card on my nokia phone and also on my Samsung galaxy pro. I don't have any issue to both phone before.

Not familiar with those phones. Try going to your provider's retail store and have them swap the SIM, that's where I'd start. I always request a new SIM card with each new phone, as they do have a shelf life -especially when swapping between two or more devices.

Try my bullet rom. I have netspeed tweaks + supercharged. Which increases data connectivity.
*youll notice the difference on boot when u see how fast the data connects*
Hope it helps

Are you in the US? Which atrix2 are you using?
What I noticed is that the at&t version is so tuned to at&t that it might have issues when you run it over other network because of some small frequency differences.
Previously I was using captivate which was also an at&t phone and I had similar problem but over time, there were several radio firmware that you could flash over and improve (or worsened ) the signal quality.
The atrix2 is not there yet..

The 4g label in atrix2 is actually 3g.

I thought it was HSPA+ and/or 4G LTE "ready" when the LTE areas began to come into markets.

Nop, you can proceed with the bootstrap but the thing of having CWM on boot it's that it something goes wrong when you install another rom (boot loop or something similar) is that you can reverse the damage by restoring a backup or flashing a another rom you have.
If you install the bullet rom keep in mind that it comes already with the CWM on boot feature so you don't need bootstrap anymore

Yup,that's what im thinking,i don't need to install CWM to run custom rom. But just like you said incase that i encounter problem i can't reverse the damage. I followed the instruction to put both the bootstrap and the CWM on the root of my SD card. I installed the bootsrap first and boot, and when im about to install the zip file of CWM, i can't find it. I tried many times to copy and paste and still the same,i can't find the CWM zip. What do you think is the problem?

Phone's signal is depended on hardware and its related firmware (baseband), so do not try many Roms to find the best for better signal (now we can't try to flash new baseband due to locked bootloader).

[Q] baseband Version Unknown?

Every modem I flash doesn't fix the problem either. IMEI and SIM card is not recognized either.

There's a problem with 1) your carrier, or 2) something is wrong with your sim.

Try ODINing. Had that problem with certain ROMs and Re-Partitioning fixed it.

I did a backup through cwm. I did notice that after odin'ng back to stock, re-route and install of GO V2, everything was fine. Atleast till i restored my backup. I made a backup after flashing the blaze modem so I am guessing it saved that crap in my backup.
Is there a way to leave out that part of my backup? Atleast that way I can still restore all my apps and settings?

There is option for advance restore

now, when you say it doesn't let you register on the T-Mobile network, what do you mean? No bars? What rom, kernel, and radio are you using?

I would ask t-mobile if it was blacklisted not some random website if your worried about that and did you try a different sim card?

Well, this has happened to me before and a data/system/cache/dalvik format and then a reflash of CM 10 fixed the problem (IDK why but it did) Assuming you've already tried that I would flash back to a Samsung Official GB or ICS ROM and see if it works then.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TO STOCK SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.

To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

I was on 4.2.2 cyanogen (i think that's the correct name) and then used Odin to go back to 4.1.2. I have this problem for a while... It happened a couple of times before going to 4.2.2 but not as frequent as now... It's really hard to use my phone without having to lock it and reopen the app I was using...

Wipe cache and dalvik cache..maybe fix permissions to. If that does not help...Odin back to stock again. Sounds like something got borked in your flashing process (in other words user error).
