messed up data - Thunderbolt General

i messed up something on my sd card. im on liquid ics and everything was great. after updating the radio i went into the card to either rename or delete the PG051IMG so I could boot into recovery. I think what happened is that I deleted something similar to it in error. now I only get 1x no matter what rom I use from a backup. Am i screwed or can I fix this? everthing else is fine. I guess I got carried away messing with something that wasn't broken.
Thanks for any help.

The fact that you get 1x has nothing to do with something on your ad card. Have you tried putting your phone in airplane mode and taking it out? Also if that doesnt work then maybe try going to back to your old radio. Radios are different for everyone and your results may not be the same as someone else's.

thank you very much for the reply. it started working now. 4G. maybe it was a coincidence and it was a temporry verizon thing.
thats a relief.
I'd hate to screw up my tbolt now. panic attack.
I've had the bolt since launch day and really enjoy it with liquid ics or gb.

Yea no problem. Data is still a little finicky with the liquid builds. They're still trying to nail down the ril so that data is more reliable.

I usually find myself able to get data back faster by going to the data usage tool and just turning mobile data off and back on since it can sometimes take a bit for my airplane mode to go on and off

Yea toggling data on and off will work sometimes. There are times where putting it into airplane mode or rebooting are the only solutions.

I also forgot to post that I have also had trouble getting stuck in 1x mode. I've had to go into LTE On/Off and change the setting back and forth there as well as switch the Network Mode under the Mobile network settings to force it into 3g. Only had that a couple of times, havent really had many problems lately.

Mobile data doesn't activate when wifi off

Having a real hard time withbswitching between wifi and 3g, anyone help? When I turn off wifi after a few hours of use, the mobile data wont come back without a reboot. I have tried cycling airplane mode, and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Only way to get back is with a reboot.

does it happen regardless of where you are? my first charge had data issues, it would only grab carrier data 1 out of maybe 10 times i rebooted and/or turned wifi off, and when it did, it took hours. replacement device still has trouble reacquiring carrier data at my home, but it's fine everywhere else. fwiw, when i researched my issue, i saw tons of anecdotal reports of people having their sim replaced by vzw and not having any further data issues.
Thanks for the reply. It seems to happen regardless of location unfortunately. I am trying to use Llama or Y5 to control wifi but its not very effective when 3g wont come back on!

What have you done to your phone? what is your current setup? Maybe it's time for you to flash back to factory stock to see if the issue resolved and take it from there.
You don't happen to be using juice defender or something like that? When I used it, I was having all sorts of problems getting data to come back on. Ditched JD and all is well.
I use Tasker to switch between 4g and Wifi. I haven't experienced any issues even though I switch back and forth several times a day. Could your problem be a defective phone or the radio firmware? Personally I run a rooted Stock EP4D and have no complaints.
same experience for me when using Auto Wifi on eclipse.
no problems after switching back to Tweakstock

Lost 4g and 3g signal

Wondering if someone could help with this. I odin the new EP1W update and it looked like everything went fine. For some reason I didn't like it so I went back to gummy 2.0. Everything went fine. No problems. Then I decided to Odin the new modem. Thought everything went fine. Now I don't have any 3g signal. My 4g will pop up some of the time. But usually I only see the bars, and no it does not have the 1x next to it. Just the bars. I did a factory wipe thinking that would help me out but it didn't. At the beginning I will get a 4g signal, I try and enter my gmail address and it doesn't go through because my signal is lost. I am able to receive calls, sms. But I am not able to get emails, go on the internet, use certain apps that require online access (XDA app in particular). I tried imnuts fix your phone process but it said it couldn't read the cm5 hash or something like that. Is there any suggestions out there? I am going to try and go back to complete stock and see if that works. I will keep you posted but would like your input. Thanks guys.
Never mind. Figured it out.
What did you do to resolve your issue? I have something very similar going on with my wife's phone. This morning, 3G data stopped working, and 4G will only stay locked for about 5 minutes. She had the EE4 modems, and flashing the EP1W modems didn't fix anything.
I went back completely to stock and started all over again. I stayed with froyo because of stability. But I am still losing my signal. Not as much though but still bugs the hell out of me. Thinking of calling big red and see if it is still under warranty. Hopefully they make me an offer I can't refuse ;-p Wish the Galaxy S 2 was going to come but not so much. Not sure about the bionic. Hearing bad things already about the battery. Now the prime sounds awesome.
Sorry got side tracked. Yeah, go back to stock and start anew. Any questions let me know.

I had flashed every available modem, and that didn't work. I flashed back to ee4 stock. That didn't work at all. Still had no 3g and 4g would only stick for a short time. I even flashed back to ed1 and took the ota. That didn't work. Then when I woke up this morning, it was working fine. Who knows.

I get this occasionally too, like data just drops out for whatever reason... it always comes back though and I just attribute it to what's gotta be the huge amount of 4G traffic where I live (L.A.), it just goes down sometimes due to server overload or maintenance I think and even the FiOS craps out for an hour or two here and there probably for the same reasons
edit: also w00t 1000 posts lol

[Q] 3G/4G data not working

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

doubt it unless your using retardedly high amounts of data and even then they would probably just throttle you... but yeah toggling data a few times sometimes may work

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?

Is my nexus s broken

So the past few days i have been dealing with an issue where my signal bars go grey/green constantly and its depleting my battery like crazy. When on wifi it seems fine but on data it is very irregular.
I just did a restore to an earlier bakcup i had and it still seems to do it. It did end up downloading all the updates since then, which could have screwed it up but i cant be sure.
Anyone else having this issue. I was going to restore but cant find a 2.3.6 rom.
any help is appreciated. Im wondering if the internal data modem is screwed up.

most likely its your providers fault. sounds like you are getting a pretty unreliable data connection. which, will deplete your battery quickly. check with your provider to see if they are having issues in your area.
i would think tho if it was my provider there would be SOMEONE else here with the problem. im in new haven CT. Ive tried restoring to 2 differant backups now, one waaaaaaaaaaaay back and it does it.
i will call to find out
thanks
quick question if they say to swap the phone then do i have to restore to stock unrooted? i dont feel like dealing with their BS right before ICS....
Restoring to stock on the nexus s is one of the easiest process of ANY phone. Install the stock zip and fast boot OEM lock. How is that BS or hard?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
i didnt mean restoring was BS i just meant dealing with ATT in general and questioning whether im rooted.
they would question a JB iphone everytime.
The bars go green when there is background data. Turn off background data as well as 3G or wifi

dont you need yoru background data on to get your emails and such?
Anyway tho I oddly fixed it or ATT repaired something at EXACTLY the same time.
I decided to go into my google market account to see if it saw my phone.
It did but had it as un named device, which it always has. I named the phone and then BAM havent had an issue since. This was the other day now.
Maybe google implemented something where you should name your device, i dunno maybe im special. This seems to have taken care of the issue. I checked background data before this tho and it all looked good.

Mobile Data Connection Dropping

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.

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!
