If youre not recieving texts, but the other one is, it could be a problem with the phone itself. and if youre running stock software, it makes me think its even further towards the hardware side, although it might not be. I suggest also trying out a different rom, or getting it replaced. and to delete a post, you need a moderator to delete a post. PM one of the G2x mods with a link to the post to get it removed.
If it's only text that you are having trouble with, try switching the SIM cards. Maybe it is SIM related or carrier related issue tied to the particular number. If the SIM from the other phone works, the nothing wrong with the phone or ROMs.

I accidentally posted this query in the standard Vibrant forum and they re-directed me here. So here's my initial query:
So I finally found out that the Galaxy Vibrant 4G (SGH-T959V) from T-Mobile now has an official update for Gingerbread. So since my mobile has been on Bionix Frost Custom ROM for long enough, I think I'll just update the phone. I'm aware that I'll loose the "root" feature, but my query is will I loose my network unlock? Also, will the contacts on the phone memory be wiped off too?
This is the first time I'm updating the phone. Since it was rooted before, should I bear some precaution before updating or is there a specific manner in which I should update?

I was planning on updating it via Kies. Kindly let me know if there is anything I need to keep in mind before proceeding with the update. I'm planning to update as per the method listed on T-Mobile website. Unfortunately, since I'm new to this forum, I can't seem to post it's direct link.

I don't recall losing anything when I updated with Kies. However, I would suggest making a backup of your data just in case. I sync my contacts with T-Mobile so even after I flash something that wipes the phone, the contacts sync back on their own.
I'm not sure if you can go from Bionix to KJ6 (2.3.6) using Kies Mini. Keis is picky about what ROM you're on with regard to updating. If it tells you that your phone's not registered, I'd suggest using ODIN to flash RaverX3X's ROM-ODIN-2.3.6-Gingerbread Offical. It's 100% based on the Kies Mini download but repackaged for ODIN for those having issues with Kies.
Thanks for the prompt reply Steve. Let's assume Kies DOES pick up my phone and confirms the Gingerbread update for it? Should I go ahead with it?
I don't see why not. You have nothing to lose by trying out the official kj6

I'm with Jager. Wifi signal strength is a little decreased, some people have had issues sending large text messages, but the phone is much more responsive.
Absolutely! My current ROM seems to be really buggy in places, thus depicting a rather poor picture of Android. So I was planning to try the stock ROM to see if it helped. So just to confirm, I won't loose my network unlock, correct?

I don't know about network unlock as I've not done that. However, this shouldn't mess with the /efs mount or it's contents, which is where I think the unlocks occur.
Someone else feel free to chime in on this one as I'm not sure.
You shouldn't lose your network unlock since that partition doesn't get touched by any updates.
I say you go for the upgrade but since you're already on a custom ROM, why not just use a custom KJ6 rom instead of the Kies version, you'll like it a lot more.
If you do wind up wanting a custom ROM, I recommend you click on the SGS4G Starter Pack link in my signature. Good guide.
Happy flashing!
That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying FB!
Cheers folks! I'll first flash to the stock ROM and if I feel the need to enhance it, I'll definitely move onto one of the custom ROM's. Thank you for all your help, much appreciated.

No worries. Best of luck & Happy New Year!
i have been using my inspire 4g for few years now with the stock 2.3.3 w/o any problem until i accepted the update notification from at&t for 2.3.5 which i hate now. Long story short, it just made my exchange email crap and it became a burden. I do not know anything about rooting so bought a used Atrix 2 hoping to have ICS on it.
But the phone came withe the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
As soon as I power on, the setup screen comes in where I enter my google details and it takes me to home screen and all is well. But when I click the 'Contacts' icon, it takes me to AT&T address book directly and starts rotating endlessly. Never give me an option to disable AT&T address book in contacts. It goes directly there and never completes even though I have data and wifi enabled. I tried at&t support as i don't have at&t phonebook registered - they asked me to upgrade to ICS.
Then I tried the OTA ICS upgrade and it always says the 'The device is upto date and no software upgrade is necessary'. It never upgrades the OS. At this point, at&t said they can't do anything and asked me to talk to Motorola. Motorola said this phone is running a version that is not supported so they can't help either. I have been googling and reading a lot of posts in this forum for help without much success.
I did check out the following and asked for help there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047087&page=2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968&page=69
Can someone please point me a thread or give me steps i need to follow to get this phone out of stock and working condition?
I am also working on getting my inspire out of stock OS but would love to get this phone fixed first.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to get the official ICS then here is the fxz for AT&T US phones (if you are somewhere else or using a different carrier, then you probably don't want this and need to supply more info.)
A couple of things to note. Once you upgrade to the official ICS there is NO going back to Gingerbread (unless someone hacked something together and I missed it), but it's best to assume you won't. Make backups before you do anything, better safe than sorry. If you don't like not having an option to revert to Gingerbread, then there are other options, but not the one mentioned.
If all is good and you want to flash the Official ICS, then you can visit the noob guide which will tell you how to flash a FXZ and what is needed.
Thank you. I really don't like the idea of not going back to Gingerbread but at this time my priority is to get this atrix 2 up and running. So am ok to get the official ics but the following says i should go to 2.3.6 in order to get to ics. Is that still true for the link you provided?

The link you posted is for ICS Leak#1, that will get you on ICS and as long as you're on Leak #1 only, you can revert to Gingerbread by using a specific FXZ from the link you posted. Your choice. The Official ICS that I posted has everything and will overwrite everything, so whether you flash from 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 it's going to upgrade the bootloader and system. Just remember, if you use the Offical ICS, then no more Gingerbread. Personally, I haven't wanted or needed Gingerbread since I got ICS.
Dear jsknair.
You can directly flash with OTA ICS update, no need to go to 2.3.4 then update to 2.3.6 the OTA ICS.
I very easy as other guy said study noob guide. After that within 10 min you will be on ICS and its really good you don't think to go back to GB.
I like to thanks Jimbirdman :thumbup:to help me for update my Atrix 2.

Okay so this is my first post here, so let me know if this is posted in the right or wrong section. First of all I have an lg optimus t that is unlocked and that I use on AT&T at the moment. I am running a nightly cm7 rom with old baseband fix and everything runs perfectly fine. Just uesterday I tried to install rashed97's cm10 for p500 and everything worked except my network. Maybe you guys could suggest a rom that would work or know of a fix. Any help would be greatyl appreciated. By the way try to keep the answer simple as im sorta new to this stuff. Could someone answer quickly, I kinda wanted to get it up and running before I go back to school.

You need to be on the new baseband to be able to have network capabilities if you flash an ICS or JB rom on to the p500. there is a thread somewhere that tells you how to do so.

That's the thing it's a p500 rom and I'm not sure how to do so and if the new baseband will allow me to the access the network in my unique case. And isn't there a patch like a old baseband fix that will work I tried flashing the one I had but It didn't work.

Follow it carefully though, it's a hassle when you brick your phone.
After you get the new baseband on your phone, you should have network capabilities...if not, try reflashing rashed's rom after wiping everything.

No don't... Just needs old baseband patch.
OldBB patch attached to this post. Flash via CWM after flashing ROM.
I wish y'all would stop pushing the use of KDZ. It's buggy software and the instructions leave a few things out. Things that will brick the device in question. There is always another way.

Now I installed the p500 version not p509, so could you help me find a patch that works becuase I have looked and don't know how to navigate the forums just yet. I tried using my old one from cm7 and it got me stuck in a boot loop. Oops you did thanks but will that different p500 and p509 Roms make a difference. And will this work on a jb rom.

I have a P509 too. I do the same thing for every ROM.
Since I am the maintainer of the FAQ's for the Optimus One devices, I will attach the Old baseband patch to the FAQ also

Ok so i have a new samsung galaxy s5 and i am a noob at flashing and everything but i flashed alliance rom for my phone but then i dont get any data signal or anything. so i restored my stock firmwire and everything went back to normal. then i tried flashing the m.o.a.r rom it works perfectly but i like alliance way better but i cant use alliance because i dont get any service at all. i am using SM-G900P with virgin mobile as my carrier. idk if i am doing something wrong here but it doesnt make sense that i dont get any data service at all,no data icon,and no first time set up like i get with the m.o.a.r rom i flashed. i would appreicate it if someone would point me in the right direction thank you.
that rom isn't made for your phone model, meaning its not a unified rom and doesn't have the right apns for your carrier's data connection. best thing to do is stay with a rom made for your phone model or find a unified rom.

it does show there but, if you really want that rom on your phone you'll need to read and search that rom thread for your phone model (g900p or try searching for sprint) and see if and how anyone got it to work on theirs. from my trys with that rom in the past i couldn't get it to work on my g900p phone. as for a rom to try , go with m.o.a.r. (lots to customize) or try a cm/asop unified rom (can customize allot with those roms too). or try all roms and become a flash-o-holic like most people on here including me. but i would say honestly, stay with any rom from the sprint galaxy s5 section as this is your first time flashing roms till you get the hang of it and really know what you are doing so you dont end up with a paper weight good luck and have fun!.

I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.
Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)
That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.
