I've been having network issues for the past 4 days (ever since I updated to 2.3.6) and have been scouring XDA and the internet trying to fix it...
Tried flashing stock roms, cyanogen roms, backtracking to 2.3.3, updating roms, flashing different radios, stock radios, nothings working.
I'm on the FIDO network with an unlocked nexus s
I even bought a new sim card today to see if it could fix it, and it was only "fixed" for a bit, because the reception was **** (0-1 bars) and i was on EDGE all the time.
I reflashed some radios and now I don't get network at all.
If anyone has any idea of how I could fix this, it'd be nice. As of right now I still can't seem to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056062 so I assume something about my phone still isn't stock...
2.3.6 is ruining my life. =[

There is advice on restoring your data connection in the radio thread in the dev section.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
I was assuming you meant this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I had already been on there and I've tried all the radios on the first few pages multiple times and none of them were working for me.
But since you posted your reply, I decided to try scouring the entire thread and I happened on a few random radios that other users posted.
I found one that actually worked!! and I got my signal back. THANKS.
Here is the one I used if anyone else is having the same problem as me.

Yes, i'm from Argentina and i bought it in 'Claro'. It's like 'AT&T' but, from here.

There's at least three threads about the ICS leak, as I'm assuming you're asking about here, and the huge issue with some users completely bricking their phones trying to FXZ back to stock. That being so, there's NO links available for flashing the leak until our devs have sorted out this mess (AT&T version). Unless you've got the MEARET version, you just have to be patient. If you cannot post in the Dev Section, you can always PM someone who might be able to answer your question with a bit more info from your end...

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

Hello everyone,
After lurking for a week or two and finally building up the courage to modify my phone (Rogers LG Optimus 3D P925g) I have created an account and would like to join the community.
Unfortunately I cannot post on drastic00's Tutorial yet until I have 10 posts, so I'd like to personally thank him here. His guide was great, there were a few things I'd clarify on it from a Noob's perspective and if he's curious of my feedback, I'd be happy to share. (Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753)
Now for my question:
My phone is now running XBSA ICS 3D ROM v7 with AC!D and I guess is on the V28b baseband from the guide.
Before I upgraded I was on android 2.3.5 but was also on the 4G network with Rogers.
With my new OS/ROM I'm now only on 3G and H network and do not know how to set it back to 4G. From everything I've learned I think this has to do with my Baseband/RIL to get back on 4G.
I read and went through this guide and there's another Windsor/Rogers guy, but none of his Baseband changes seemed to get a 4G network. Perhaps that post is too outdated for 4G?
Anyways, could anyone help me attempt to get back onto my old 4G network? Pointing me in the right direction would be great, I tried the forum search for topics on 4G or Rogers and it seemed a bit limited.
P.S. Please let me know if I broke any "Noob rules" because, well.... I am one, but would like to change that Have a wonderful day/night all!
Bump
I'd have better luck getting help in the Development guide. So until then I guess I need 10 posts.
At least I'll make use of these 10 posts and maybe help another complete noob by sharing my efforts:
Learning more about what 4G really is I found that it's actually HSPA+. Or just a better 3G that's been advertised wrong. Oh how annoyingly confusing... That means my old stock GB 2.3.5 showing "4G" must have actually just been HSPA+ since this p925g doesn't have LTE capabilities.
So on my preferred network I only have GSM option and no HSPA like I think I'm supposed to have.
My Mobile Network Type idles at UMTS:3 then bumps up to HSPA: 11 when I download. This can be seen in the About Phone under Status.
I shall try Backing up the current state and flashing different Basebands found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974734
Again, any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Since you've got the P925, and not the P920, you could try to search the forum for this phone instead. There is a complete section for P925.
For example, there is now an official ICS V30B ROM for P925, which is more recent than the ICS V28B ROM for P920. This ROM was already released for AT&T but according to many reports here, it works on other networks and even on P920 phone, and it has full 4G support.
Just search the forum, there are many threads and reports about this new ROM. For example:
The original thread with rom .kdz files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197191
Another thread with rom .bin files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198069
Members who report good 4G: Here, here, check the 4G icon here and for Canada here.
Just follow the guides for installing a .kdz ROM or the alternative guides for installing a .bin ROM and eventually you'll get 4G with the V30B ROM.

Would you like to elaborate on that?
The new member has the P925, lives in Canada, installed the v28b for P920 and doesn't have 4G now. With the v30b you could get 4G on P925 and P920 as well, as shown on the "here parts".
If you have any other information, perhaps you could post it here in order to help our new member.
Thank you very much!

I spent about 6 hours or so researching this V30b ROM since there's no "Total Noob guide" for it haha.
I'm going to go for it, I'll try Xbsall's custom ROM that the Canadian user Goldenmeadow has had luck on it.
If I brick it, I've done enough research to be confident that I can fix it.
Also, boston71, your help was clear, kind and very informative. I actually thought the P925g was just the Canadian version of the P920 with french support. I appreciate your help a lot and wish I could hit Thanks more. I'm curious to know how you easily searched the forum for those single posts? Is there some sort of advanced search trick I'm missing? I get too many results that are just threads and not single posts, then I have to Ctrl + F on each thread page...
Cheers mate!

Thanks for your nice words.
I would suggest not to install a custom ROM but first the v30b stock ROM after downloading its .kdz or .bin files which I linked on my previous post.
You've already succeeded flashing a .bin ROM following the guide from your first post, so you are familiar with that.
You could also try flashing the .kdz ROM following the guide at the sticky thread here (only the Step 1 is needed). The advantages of this method are that is simpler and faster than the first one, and most importantly, is safer than the first one (for example many people are losing their IMEI when flashing .bin files).
I don't know about the Canadian P925g version, perhaps some Canadian member could help. I don't even own the P925 American version, only the European P920 one. But since you introduced yourself so nicely and no one answered your posts for half a day, I decided to answer with the (little) I know about the v30b.
No, I didn't use any trick for searching the forum. But since the V30B is very new rom, there are very few threads and posts about it. I just went to the threads and searched with Ctrl + F about the "4G"

Ok, finally I can help somebody and share the pain I went through
OP, you are absilutely right - 4G and H are the same!
Long time ago, when we got gingerbread update, my phone was showing 4G all the time. Then some member made nice fix and my phone was showing ACTUAL connection speed - 3G or H.
Now with ICS it's back to just 4G... And it doesn't matter if you are on stock or american version of xbsa.
But you put v28 which is european. And that version, I imagine, distinguishing between 3G and H.
Then. There is hidden menu. You dial 3845#*925#. In there it used to be section where you could force your phone into specified band. But now it's gone. Still there is MODEM SETTINGS -> ENGINEERING MODE. There you can see actual band you are on.
And now I share information that I was digging for looong time:
Rogers uses two frequencies in two formats:
GSM850
GSM1900
WCDMA850 - called WCDMA_V
WCDMA1900 - called WCDMA_II
In GSM you can get only Edge (2G). Usually 1900 in big cities and 850 in country.
WCDMA gives you 3G/H:
UMTS:3 is 3G
HSPA:9 is H
HSDPA:11 is upper H
(sorry, I don't remember exact abbreviations).
Here is little discussion you might find interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380357
To save battery phone stays in 3G mode (UMTS) until you start transmit/receive data. Then it jumps to H.
But lazy (or crooked) guys at Rogers and AT&T decided to show 4G all the time (because it's Thrill 4G? ). And it's confusing...
It took me long time to figure out.
Glad you took courage to upgrade!
Congrats!

Thanks boston71! I'll try the V30b. I figure if I somehow brick my phone or really mess it up, I'll get it back to normal somehow. I don't see a thread about someone being bricked and then they actually use their phone as a brick since it's unsolvable

That was a very interesting thread, thank you for sharing it. I wish they'd make it all one standard for the levels of connection!
That Rogers information would explain why I only have the option to pick from GSM or WCDMA. But then it doesn't explain why my father's Galaxy S3 has a HSPA/LTE option.... Maybe it's just the phone or something, I'm not sure.
I'll try the V30b even if it seems I'd be okay with what I got. I am just really enjoying this stuff
Thank you so much for your help, greatly greatly appreciated!
Edit after a re-read: Lol, I want to hit more Thanks buttons since your post was just so much awesome information summarized in such a simple and understandable way. Go! Spread your knowledge! You're good at it!
I know its been said but the O3D is not a 4G phone, despite the Yank version name.
I have had a play today with basebands and 28b/30b ROMs. If you are on xbsav7 you are probably better off staying on it and just flashing the 30b baseband with LG Flashtool.
Switching to the correct baseband increased my data speed by about double. Install Speed Test to check for yourself.

It explains everything Sammy G3 DOES have LTE mode (real 4G) that our 3D lacks... But don't forget, our LG is couple years older
And believe me, I found all this info not just for fun. My first phone was LG Optimus 2x - I got from friend who bought it in Europe. So I had 3G in Kitchener but only Edge (2G) in Woodstock... It was driving me crazy till I found about bands. So that phone had GSM850/1900 but only CDMA1900. That is why in "rural" town I didn't have 3G... So I got rid of that model and bought 3D on kijiji
And like LeighR said - try different basebands and do speed test. Before this one I used v20c. Actually I'm still testing this v30b baseband, may be I'll go back...

I've been PMing a fellow Rogers + Windsor Ontario user. He's very kind and has told me V20C has worked wonders for him. That's what I'll try flashing tonight.
With V30B I'm just getting 2-3MB/s on speedtest with 3-4 bars signal.
He's telling me he gets 8-10MB/s. I guess I'll have to try 'er out.

I was going to try the V28b Large partitions then his custom V30B rom then flash bandbase V20c. I figure if I brick my phone that it's a good lesson
I'm on stock V30b ICS from AT&T right now. There's way too much bloatware.
Thanks to both of ya!
Don't forget to apply fix for metallic voice after you flash v20c!
And yes, I think I noticed drop in speed too... Gonna try v20c this weekend.
Also thinking about switching to xbsa 7.2 only because it's nice to have his support - I've been on his ported ICS for couple months now and happy.

Good morning everyone. I have tried looking through both these forums as well as a google search and can't seem to find an answer.
So my phone is rooted/s off custom Rom etc. My phone originally was a vzw phone used with Verizon as my service provider. I've since switched carriers and am using my phone with cricket being my service provider. Everything works, and works ok. I've been running a venom Rom and truly do love the Rom. But with lollipop being out there, it is time to upgrade. my phone says I'm running 4.4.2. Everything I've read seems that I have to upgrade my firmware as well, which is based off of the build number if I'm correct in what I read. my question I guess is do I continue to use Verizon based roms etc or do I use any variant of it. I guess I'm just seeking some what of a direction to head in. I apologize in advance if it's a stupid question. I've attached a copy of my build number in case that helps. Thank you so much, not only for your time, but any help available. Have a great day everyone
