Hi there, yes I am a noob here but I searched this and couldnt find anything.
I flashed two HTC one S phones and am having the same issue with both. Everything works great except the mobile data.
Mobile data is turned on in settings, but says disconnected. Wifi works great, the phone makes calls, just no mobile data.
I searched networks and it sees my network "Fido" and even registers with Fido, but it still says disconnected next to the Mobile Data option in settings.
I will try calling our provider I suppose but I am stuck at this point..
I have also wiped cache, and dalvik cache and did a full wipe at install.
Recovery - CWM 5.8.3.1
ROM - ViperOneS_v1.2.0
Please help!
Sorry guys. I got it.
I had to search the carrier specific APN settings and manually enter them.
I didnt read anything about that anywhere and like I said... Im still a noob.
thanks
you dont have by any chance a nandroid backup with the original settings of your fido phone.
or at least the original build.prop

I did a backup from the "backup and restore" option within CWM recovery, just after I had unlocked and rooted. I had not yet installed the the Viper ROM, which leads me to believe it probably still had the correct settings at that time, but not sure.
wow, can you please put that backup somewhere online?
or at least take out the build.prop file from /system folder
pleaseee
PS: CWM recovery just sucks on this model; better use TWRP
If you post the backup Trashking, make sure you note it was made with CWM and needs restored with CWM. As, most of us use TWRP recovery--
so, don't want to make it available for others?

Hey,
Sorry I hadn't logged in for a couple days. Ill help out if I can.
okay,
this is the folder that I have that contains the backup files. I'll need specific instruction on what exactly you need uploaded, and where I can upload it to.

Im also abit worried this backup may contain personal information, as Im not sure I did a full wipe until I installed the rom. This backup was done after I had unlocked and loaded CWM. I'd like to be sure none of my crap is getting posted.
Also,
Can you please explain why CWM is crap for this model? It seems to work fine on mine but perhaps im missing something.
Upon further review, it seems the reasons most people prefer TWRP over CWM for interface reasons.
Im not sure im worried about that.
I have to disagree with a few posts here, you can do everything the same way with both recoveries. You don't need to flash the boot image in fastboot with cwm I've done it myself and I didn't see any difference in speed between the two backing up or restoring.
It's preference on which you choose to use, I'm not saying that either is bad they both have a great support background and are dedicated to quality as they should be, it's the most important software on your device in consideration to root users and without it working properly your taking a very large risk.
Personally believe recovery should be layed out in a manner that is easy to use and functional for all types of users, adding gimmicks to something that should be taken seriously I feel is unnecessary and both teams do a great job of keeping it clean and treat the work as if they are paid to make them.
Both are great at their work, both are worth having. - Orical

I've been stuck in a boot loop on one of my G-Tabs for about 4 days now. Been trying every fix I can find to no avail so far. I have the Viewsonic to G-Tablet boot loop. I keep noticing people reffering to using NVFlash with the Img9 fix to add in ClockWord mod. Many said to do that flash then to wipe the data, which is where the problem lies. I get this error everytime I try:

Repartition 2048 and 0.
Hello KJ and thanks for replying, I have seen you offer help to alot of people so thanks for dropping by here too.
I have tried that as well and it hasn't done anything. I don't know if it is the order in which I am doing things or what on this tab. My other one works like a dream but it was done before the 4539 (I think that's right) update came out.
I have done the NV Flash and added CWM via Ext SD and then partitioned and that was a no go. I also tried doing Roebeet's example of doing NVFlash and changing te Img9 file as well with a repart and that didn't work either.
I also tried this "fix" and even it didn't work.

I'm not giving up because from all I am reading, these things seem immpossible to fully brick. I also feel pretty safe to say that it is my fault and that maybe I don't have the correct order for doing the entire process but I have tried until I turned blue in the face before giving up and going to bed.
Well... what your tablet is having trouble mounting is the partitions that you should be creating with the repartitioning. /dev/blk/mmcblk3 is the internal memory. Are you familiar with ADB?
No not at all. I googled during this and saw Android Debug Manager. Something with that I should try? I definitely don't claim to be the smartest guy on the block but at the same time I pick up this stuff well and am not really scared to try something if you have an idea.
Congrats, man. I think you're the first to truly brick his gtab.

Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough teacher (I lack the proper patience) to get someone going with ADB from scratch. Especially since my development environment is somewhat unusual so I often have no frame of reference to assist in setting up the tools. So, if you're up to it, you need to do one of two things. Either get ADB installed and running on your computer or get a rooted ROM and a terminal emulator on the device that we need to work on.
Your situation is somewhat different from the others in that you can actually get CWM installed and get into recovery. I still think that perhaps some combination of partitioning, data wipe and fix permissions should be working for you. What I would do in your case is:
1) Data wipe one more time (perhaps use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030915)
2) Reboot into CWM recovery and repartition
3) nvflash the stock ROM again (without CWM)
4) Factory reset from the ROM settings
If that fails then research setting up ADB for your computer and we'll discuss some diagnostics you can run from that.
Thanks KJ, I will try those when I get home this evening.
I loaded rom over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344, and ever since I loaded it, I can no longer acquire data on my device. WIFI works, but radio data doesn't. I had the v5 rom before, and it was fine, then i followed the instructions and loaded v7 and I can not get data anymore.
I've tried reverting back to V5 as well as loading other roms, but my data is still not working. Does anyone know what may have happened for me to lose my data connection?

Download root explorer if u don't already have it
Open the app and fine the efs file..
Locate and move the following into Root Of SD card
Nv.log
Nv_data.bin
Nv_data.bin.md5
Restart your phone and you should be fine...
**if not flash a capped radio and then follow the steps***

Hey, thanks for the reply. I moved the files from nfs to the sdcard root, but my data still doesnt seem to work.
When you say flash a capped radio, what do you mean by capped?

There are quite a few radios for AT&T and some are capped meaning throttled at slow speeds for example:
Capped - UCKD1 = .5 to 1.0 mbps
Uncapped- KB3XX= 3.0 to 5.0 mbps

- Google
I went to the radio thread
and tried flashing several different radios and then following your steps to get data back. (also tried "method 1" from here)
But I was never able to successfully recover my data. The only way I was ever able to get data again, was when I flashed a gingerbread rom from this thread (Android 2.3.4/GTJ61/UCKE1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
However, when I tried to flash back the CYBER-GR ICS rom, I'm still data-less. I seem to also be getting the same issue, from the kang project rom...
Oh and I forgot to mention that i'm on a I9020A on Rogers(Canada), if that info is of any help..
Edit:
So it turns out that I seem to have lost my IMEI, and it's now set to the default 0049999010640000. Having searched around, it seems like there's no actual way to fix this. However, thought it says that, on a gingerbread stock rom, the phone still works fine, just no data on ICS... Is there anything that I might have missed to fix it? Or am I going to be forced to stay on gingerbread now?
i am having the same problem with the ics bugless beast rom
i too am also on rogers (i9020a) and cannot get 3g data. i have tried many radios and nothing. but as soon as i go back to GB 2.3.6 everything works :/.
can u check something for me... not sure if uve already checked but lol can u make sure u have Data Enabled in settings / wireless settings ... ^_^

Is that normal and safe?
What's next? What do I do from here? I really have no idea what to do or what I can do. Please share any information on the world of a rooted android device
Looks normal to me. It pushed busybox and superuser to system, which means you're rooted and can now run root apps. Just reboot and you're done.

It came with superuser, but what does it do? I did not find busybox. Where can I find it and how does it work? It auto rebooted. Where can I get rooted apps and what else can I do?

You can get rooted apps from the market or just download and flash them. Titanium Backup, Superuser, ROM Manager are examples.
ROM manager will also let you flash clockworkmod recovery, the basic tool for installing new roms/kernels/radios.
Your world is just beginning, really.

Firstly, there's a different sub-forum for each phone, so find yours' and hopefully they have a good FAQ. Once you've installed cwm, here is a tutorial for installing ROMs on Galaxy Nexus; it should mostly carry over. There's likely more tutorials around google/youtube for your own specific phone.
For titanium backup, always remember to backup user apps ONLY. Never, ever backup system apps or system data, because with custom roms you'll be changing the system. For a "full" (we call it "nandroid") backup use cwm.

I have a Samsung Exhibit. I only see threads on Exhibit II.
Btw, where is the backup user apps ONLY? TB is really confusing.
So I decided to try this new feature of TiBu and flashed the update.zip in recovery after I flashed a new rom. The problem is that Google also downloads missing apps even ones I deleted a long time ago and are also not in the backup zip file I made in TiBu. Is there anyway to disable Google from doing this?
This is after wiping and flashing a new rom and doing the set up wizard. Asked to link my Google /gmail account to the phone so i would assume if I skipped that step it would cause an issue?
Thanks.

It shouldn't cause any sort of issue. I have done it before without any sort of issue. You can link the google/Gmail account to your phone at a later time, like after you flash that update.zip. I advise that you make an update.zip of only user apps. I find that a lot of the problems that people have are caused by restoring apps and data. I find that it's ok to restore the data of games though

When you first setup your phone Google asks do you want to backup your settings online and then asks do you want it to restore your data (wifi settings, apps, etc). You have chosen yes to both. Go into your settings and then "backup and reset". Unchecked backup my data and automatic restore. Never use them again. They are worthless if you are rooted

Do you have another android device with those options chosen possibly? I've only had it do that to me when those options are checked off. And it would even download apps I had on my other devices that I never put on the current one. Got annoying. Fast. I just turned it off on all devices.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
I am relatively new to my Nexus 5, and loving the phone so far. I am not new to flashing roms, rooting devices, etc., but definitely not a extreme power user by any means.
The one issue I am running into is preserving a particular application, MobilePass, as I flash a new rom on my Nexus 5. By flashing I mean a clean flash (clearing system data etc). I use titanium backup (paid version), and while it will restore the APK, it does not restore the app information. Why this is a problem is the program is used to generate a VPN key, and if the token information is not preserved I have to go through this long process at work to get the VPN working again (sending access code, having infrastructure enable, etc.) Will say, I can understand if it is not possible to restore a program like this for security reasons, but figured I will ask the community.
The steps I take in running the backup in titanium:
- Going to the batch screen
- Selecting backup apps + system data
Have never tried the option to create a flashable zip.
Anyone have pointers or other backup utilities they would suggest?
Additionally, did read over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159 but did not really give me anymore information than I did not already know.
Thanks for any help.
**Edit after installing helium (CM backup solution), it seems that there is an option in Android application development to not allow apk backup's. So there might not be a solution here.

Some apps just don't respond well to being restored. Don't think there's much you can do. Maybe try another backup app to see if it's the same deal?

Thanks for the fast reply. Are there any other backup programs you recommend?
Titanium is the best for a reason. Extremely reliable and paid version has many uses.
But just to see if your app is capable of restoring data... Try anything you find on playstore. Just backup that app. Then uninstall it. And try restore. There's "my backup root" and "Helium" . Those are the only 2 I know off hand.
Maybe try the apps website to see if you can find out if it's even possible to restore data maybe first though.
