CM7 on D2G - issues with APNs, possibly Rogers specifically?

I'm posting this on the four android-related forums that I participate in, in hopes that someone has seen this before and knows what to do.
Here's what I had:
- Droid 2 Global, unlocked, rooted, with Fission ROM, using Rogers Wireless, a GSM network in Canada
- it had been working just fine for 5 months
Here's what I did:
- Used RSDLite and the SBF loader to flash the stock 2.4.330 firmware as seen here: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/SBF
- ended up with a bootloop, as the directions said I would. cleared data and cashe, no problem, phone booted.
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, entered APNs, immediately had data service, tested phone functionality, all was well, used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- Used stock recovery mode to upgrade to 4.5.607 (gingerbread) firmware as seen here: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/4.5.607_Firmware
- I used the file linked to from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/22/gingerbread-build-for-the-droid2-global-leaks/
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, entered APNs, immediately had data service, tested phone functionality, all was well, used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- rooted phone using the adb method that is out there. rebooted and confirmed root access. installed a couple apps that need root. tested phone functionality, all was well. used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- As described here, http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/CyanogenMod Installed Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap and ROM Manager in order to flash CWM. rebooted into CWM, factory reset, installed the latest release (10/06), and rebooted
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, phone app crashed immediately (as is to be expected, based on known bugs), rebooted for it to take effect
Now here's the problem:
- phone can make calls and receive texts with no problem, but cannot get data. wifi also works.
- went into wireless settings, mobile networks, access point names, nothing shows up. Clicked "add APN". entered the APN info that had worked for me before at the past two junctions. hit menu button, then save. takes me back to the APN screen, but no APN shows up.
- repeated this cycle a few times following reboots, etc. Eventually the phone gets to the point where the "add APN" button will not even come up when the menu key is hit.
- during the above, was also checking the "network operators" setting. The phone does locate all of the networks that are "in the air" but no matter which one I choose it will tell me "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
- used root explorer to check /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. There is a list of about 1500 APNs. There are multiple entries for Rogers including all of the ones I tried to enter that appeared not to save.
- used APN backup/restore and APN manager to attempt deleting existing APNs, restoring the ones that were known to work, etc. Nothing works. These programs do work, and when I check the telephony.db file I can see what they have done to the file, but they are unfortnately unable to make any APN "stick" at the APN screen, and apparently that is the only way that it will work.
more info:
- I've noticed that the list of rogers entries seems to get larger and larger as I go through this process multiple times. I may be wrong, but it seems that this telephony.db file might not actually get changed or updated when you flash a new kernel/firmware/mod/rom to the phone.
- I'm sure that the lack of a list of APNs and the "sim card does not allow connection" message are related. For whatever reason there seems to be a bug in CM7 where the telephony.db file has problems "talking" to the APN screen in settings. But it must not affect most people.
- yes, I have tried a new SIM card.
- yes, I have tried clearing cache, data, dalvik, and fixing permissions.
- Anyone else on Rogers Running CM7 on a D2G? If so, I'd love to talk to you. Maybe I could convince you to send me a working CWM backup. I imagine that if you're a conscientious rommer, you have a backup made folling a fresh install of CM7.

I used to do at one point. The froyo base 2011.08.13 version was the last one that worked for me. Newer ones boot looped if SIM card is inside, no matter what I do. I stopped trying after couple further releases all of which boot looped. Essentially quit using CM4D2G due to bluetooth not working with BT handsfree. Later, after the official Motorola GB release came, I have not even looked back. Since I like few BLUR features, especially dialler, the GB Motorola released suits me very well. With the doubled battery life and the MUCH BETTER GSM radio in 606/607 bulds, phone finally settled down and I can now rely on it.
I have CM7 on another of my phones - actually 2 of them - a Milestone and (recently) a HTC Vision - I love CM7.1 especially on the latter!
I assume your phone works fine with stock rom - right?
Edit: I have a XT860 which is in for repairs - once I get it back and I have a reliable daily phone I plan to experiment with the new GB based CM4D2G. Hopefully this week...

Yes, everything works really well with stock rom. I was quite impressed, as it was my first GB experience. Unfortunately, as with cars, I am all about the "options", and I can't seem to let go of a feature once I have experienced it. I love CM7 and I really want to make it work for my D2G.
I posted this same thing at the rootzwiki thread, and one of the head developers said "You my friend may finally have identified where the gsm data issues are coming from. it isnt just you, it's 98% of the gsm users that arent having data". Another user got me to change a couple of permissions. I thought he was onto something but it didn't work, either. Nonetheless, I think I brought enough attention to this issue and also gave them something to work with through all my trial and error. I am optimistic.
But, for now, I think I have to take CM7. I want my data! I am really tempted to just give stock GB a shot. But Blur scares me. Most people don't seem to like it, though I admit I don't fully understand what Blur is! I see there is MIUI and apex, angel Hexen and VenusX. I might have to try them first.

hallo!
had exactly the same problem! i bought a verizon phone an using it in greece!
But i simply dowloaded some APNs manager from the market and within 2 minutes my phone was connecting to the internet!! So if this worked for me i`m sure its gonna work for u too!!

Can you be more specific as to what you did? Because it sounds exactly like something I tried already. What was the exact name of the software you used? Was your problem 100% exactly the same as mine, or just similar? I literally can't make an APN show up at the APN screen at all.

Some people have this exact problem with the D3, looks like in the D3 placing the phone in airplane mode and then on again is enough to make the APN manager able to read the MCC/MNC codes and, consequently, to store the provided apn.

I wish it was that easy, but it's not. I have tried a number of solutions similar to that but no dice. I appreciate the attempt though.

For the record I have that problem on the D2g flashed with the latest builds of cyanogen rom, (with the same SIMs perfectly working on D3 and D2g with the stock rom), and the airplane mode trick doesn't works too.
So far I haven't found a solution

To get my wife's d2g to work in japan I had to use root explorer to manually edit a file. The file is located at etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options mount the file rw and manually edit the user name and password to match your apn. Toggle airplane mode on off after saving changes and it should work.

Thanks, i guessed that if a proper fix may be hard to find, a workaround was easy enough, I'll try it later with the gingerbread froyo.

sounds interesting. I will give that a try the next time I flash CM7. I moved on to Apex. It's ok, but absolutely dreadful for battery life. I can't imagine CM7 is any better considering it has about 50 more bells and 125 more whistles. But I do prefer CM7 to anything else so as soon as I actually have some tweaking time again, I'll give this a shot.
Since both CM7 and Apex are built off the same firmware, I could just flash them overtop eachother, and wipe date and cache, right? As long as it's that easy, I could see myself trying this sooner.

I tried what you said and I am still not getting data. phone and texts work though, just like before.

VZW GS3 i535 - Error with CM10 Update, have 4G data but NO MOBILE NETWORK

So long story short...
- Updated to CM10 official "stable" build last night (from November 1st Nightly, which I never had issues with)
- Started it up, phone wouldn't activate.
- Read about a hotfix. Wiped, flashed, applied hotfix, etc.
- Still could not activate/receive phone calls.
- Tried to flash back to stock with root and it didn't work.
- Realized my IMEI was missing.
- Followed a guide to get my IMEI back.
- Still not much progress. I can get 4G data, but when I try to make a phone call it says "Mobile network not available".
- Decided to ODIN + flash 100% stock
- Still no phone calls sending/receiving.
Now I can access 4G data, but I cannot make or receive phone calls. I have tried various wipes, resets, battery removals, SIM removals, etc. etc.
Anyone have any advice for me? It has been about 12 hours now that I've been without service.
It does show that I have 3-4 bars on the status bar, but I still cannot make calls.
Much appreciated.

i don't know the number off the top of my head, but someone said to call the # that gets your number reprovisioned, that could possibly fix the issue thats plaguing you
edit: just did a quick search and someone said just call verizon from another phone and say "hey, i need ya to reprovision my phone, its number is blahblahblah" and just go thru it that way

Try to reprovision your sim card using this code:
*2767*3855#
It will format your internal storage so back it up. You must be on TouchWiz as well.

Your eri might be borked... The only way I was able to fix that on my phone was using the now deleted IMEI and ERI tool thread.

Unfortunately the attachment links are dead

Damn, that's what I figured too. I have seen some issues semi-related to this subject with others who were running CM 10.1 roms, not just S3 owners, so I guess that no matter how many times you do something right, sometimes things still go wrong, It just is what it is, or that damn program HiApn was a little beyond me, and I borked it up that way. Got the new TouchWiz multi-window OTA update update fine though, re-rooted it and was going to explore it further, but I think I'm just going to replace it under warranty since the one year will be up in a couple weeks. Sorry to do that, since it keeps the price of phones high, but crap. It looks like it's toast for telephony, although 911 DOES work, just nothing else phone related. It sees my phone number, and can read that much of the sim, and my IMEI appears to be true. Strangest damn thing! Oh well, looks like a re-locked bootloader and Triangle Away for me.Thanks for your responses, best of luck to the OP....
(Oh, and btw, I actually like that multi-window feature, so when I get my new one, I'm just going to leave it factory!)
Wait a minute...borked ERI? That's fixable? If it's not too radical, I have a few days to try that before I have to send my original phone back, so if I can fix it I'd rather do that.
After reading that post you put up a link to, my ERI is already at 5...?

Mobile Network Not Available

Hi guys randomly yesterday I got a problem where Mobile Network is not available.
I have 4g signal and can use internet but can text or phone call. I have odined the stock666 file and did some dial code but still didn't fix it. I also flashed back to stock and tried removing and inserting sim but still same problem.
any ideas?
I can receive texts but cannot send any. it seems like a weird network setting on my phone.

I tried doing a factory reset and tried even swapping sim cards... no go

Hey, I'm on T mobile and also having the same problem no mobile network. I'm using S3 international , tried to switch SIM to my note 2 international but still no mobile network.:silly:

i have spent hours trying to fix. let me know if you find a fix. phone is unusable

Try this, go to open1your1eyes0 thread for Stock Jelly Bean Factory Images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Go down to VRBLK3 Image Downloads (Official 4.1.1 OTA - Built on 11/30) and click on show content. It should have the Stock odin for VRBLK3. Odin that image and see if your mobile Network works then. (watch out, it wipes everything, relocks bootloader etc) Also try to get a screen shot of your status screen in about device so we all can help you better. It could be a IMEI issue, but hard to tell. Were you using a custom rom at the time? Which rom? Is Mobile data enabled? Preferred network mode to LTE/CDMA?

I have seen several instances where the newer versions of CM have had network issues. I'd recommend backing up your files, wiping everything, and trying another ROM. If that doesn't work, it sounds to me like it could be a hardware issue. Best of luck.

Check and see if your IMIE and or ERI numbers have been reset. If you are with Verizon I believe that your ERI number should be 5. I had this issue happen as well. If you have a nv backup just use terminal and restore it, if not look here. This is how I got mine back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442 My issue was identical I was on 4.2.2 CM10.1 and could get on the web and receive text but couldn't send any or send or receive calls.

first 4G phone
I just got the phone today and i can't call or text anyone because there is no mobile network available and I need to put a sim card in. This is my first 4G phone and I don't have a sim card. They didn't give me one either.

If you're on Verizon (I'll assume that) and received a phone thru them, the SIM card should have been in the box with the phone. If not you'll need to go to a Verizon store and they'll provision one for you. You'll not have service until you have installed the proper SIM card.

We need a little more background, Lucas. What have you done to get there? Are you rooted? What ROM?
I've had network issues a few times, usually I resolve them using the "Phone Info" app, but it's a little complicated, so I'd rather hear back from you as to how this all started before I get too specific.

For the people with service issues, it's been asked but no on really answered unless I missed it. Does your IMEI say 0 instead of the number that's under your battery? Does your ERI say None instead of 5? Under mobile network does it say Verizon? Also, sign into your Verizon account and under your phone instead of S3 does it say non-vzw device? If so you you've lost your IMEI and ERI. There are a couple of different ways to get it back if you didn't make a backup. I haven't done it but alot of XDAers stated using odin to get back to stock and I hear reprovisioning your phone with a numerical keypad entry on the dialer worked. Here's what I did.
1) Flashed a stock rooted TW rom.
2) Used this thread and software to get my imei back : http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79
3) I had my IMEI back and on my account my phone read S3 but I still had no ERI.
4) Follow these steps here, the previous posters thread won't open because XDA can get in alot of trouble from having the Samsung Repair Tool on it, or so I hear : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44871571&postcount=3
5) You can find what you need there. The tool won't work without a downgraded modem, well at least for me it didn't until I did.
6) I forgot a step in that, once you're back you've backed your IMEI you can then upgrade your modem back to what you want.
Hope this helps

Actually I did some research and figured out that my problem is that my IMEI was lost after the ROM flashing. That is the reason I can't make calls nor send texts...
Now I am trying to find some way to fix it. I did not have an /efs backup so my task is complicated. x(
Anyway, thanks for your help! =)

Tell us what ROM! if it was CM10.2 Go flash a different ROM and you'll be fine your IMEI isn't really lost.

Anyone figure this problem out? I'm having the issue with my GS4 after flashing CM 10.2 nightlies. I've gone back to stock everything, and still no service. I can't send texts or calls. It now just tells me I'm roaming all the time. I'm going back into verizon today to get a new SIM card. Hopefully that will help.

The link u posted is no longer available. Or explain what steps to due to fix this on my s4 Verizon l545. I'm having the no network available w calls and texts but I am able to text just no calling. Thanks
Update: Oct. 1 2013. I was able to fix my issue by doing a factory data reset from settings. I was running Hyperdrive rom, w TWRP 2.5.0.2. I did do a nandroid backup before doing this but then an update in Hyperdrive was available so I just did the clean install after that and was good to go. My problem started when attempting to do the hidden menu sim unlock free method. So if this happens to u, u should be able to try this method and get calls back, but Im not sure about unlock status.

[Q] Can't make phone calls. Already restored ERI and MEID.

I was having issues on my rooted verizon galaxy s3 running beans version 15. I would get a circle on data when tethering. I went back to root66 learned my IMEI and ERI were set to zero and now they are at 5 and the correct things...I have data I've had it 4g LTE that is and can tether just fine. I'm using my phone currently to ask this question. I cannot dial or send texts...on beans it just says dialing with no tone on root66 it would say no network available. My # shows my service is there...when I click LTE/CDMA in network it says searching and I hit ok. I don't know if that means it needs to search first or what...I really don't know what to do I have searched all day and done everything I know to do and now I'm just lost. I also did *228 and it said my sim wasn't registered then I rebooted and did it and it worked....so no clue what is going on.
Under phone status my phone said Service State: Out of Service when on root66 but now it says In Service. Still don't understand this.
Mobile network state: connected in root66 it was trying to connect randomly.
Phone #: Correctly displayed
Prl and ERI Version: 15211 and 5
Device State: normal.
Everything seems good : (

I went back to root66 learned my IMEI and ERI were set to zero and now they are at 5 and the correct things...I have data I've had it 4g LTE that is and can tether just fine. I'm using my phone currently to ask this question. I cannot dial or send texts...on beans it just says dialing with no tone on root66 it would say no network available. My # shows my service is there...when I click LTE/CDMA in network it says searching and I hit ok. I don't know if that means it needs to search first or what...I really don't know what to do I have searched all day and done everything I know to do and now I'm just lost. I also did *228 and it said my sim wasn't registered then I rebooted and did it and it worked....so no clue what is going on.
Under phone status my phone said Service State: Out of Service when on root66 but now it says In Service. Still don't understand this.
Mobile network state: connected in root66 it was trying to connect randomly.
Phone #: Correctly displayed
Prl and ERI Version: 15211 and 5
Device State: normal.
Everything seems good : (

I'm having the same problem. I haven't yet gone back to Root66, because that is going to be a major pain (really REALLY don't like using ODIN and haven't found a flashable zip to use from CWM), and my phone has had trouble staying connected to a computer ever since I took it out in a snowstorm a few months back, so I'm nervous that doing stuff via ODIN is going to end poorly. This was after I flashed to Carbonrom 1.7, which is Android 4.2.2. Initially I got stuck on the activation screen, with no phone number, nothing, but after I switched my CDMA subscription mode from NV to RUIM/SIM, I got the phone number and PRL version back. Phone number now appears correct, and PRL version is 15223. IMEI still reads 0, though. I had an IMEI backup from back when I first flashed from ICS to JB, but restoring it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm going to keep looking for a flashable Root66 zip, and if not I'll see if I can get something to work via ODIN (or see if I can maybe get the AOSP modem solution thing to work though the script I found didn't run) and report back. I don't do a whole lot of phone calls, and data is working fine, so it's not a hugely pressing issue, but I do want to get this solved ASAP. If anyone's got any thoughts or input, I know we'd both appreciate help. In the meantime, I'll press on and we'll see what happens.

I had an issue installing carbon rom too a while back but just went back to stock and then redid everything from there...this is my first time encountering such a huge issue that I can't solve on my own. Everything seems FINE now..IMEI everything was repaired and fixed. Odin takes around 12-15 minutes if you wanted to try that...How did you change your subscription mode? Maybe there are some things I haven't tried yet....if so I'd like to know how and where.

System Settings>More...>Mobile Networks>CDMA Subscription.
I had issues with Carbon 1.6.1, and flashed back to 1.5, which was great except that occasionally normal-pressing the home button would start registering as a long-press until I rebooted. Decided to try Carbon 1.7, then this happened. As I understand it, though, whether or not your IMEI gets borked is a bit of a matter of chance, not necessarily ineptitude on the part of a ROM's developer team. That's why you're encouraged to backup your IMEI before any serious system modification. Dunno why my backup isn't working, though... that part is what's most annoying.

That you can do. There are multiple guides out there for completely resetting back to stock, for situations like needing to return a phone to Verizon and wanting to erase any trace of your fooling around with OS components. For me, I seem to be completely unable to connect the phone to computer via USB, so ODIN is completely out. Thinking I might bring it to Verizon and see what they can do. I've currently got it on JellyWiz RLS13, which is based on the stock TW JB OTA, so hopefully that's close enough that it won't throw any flags for them and they can do some magic or something and reset the IMEI.

Strange Problem - Can't Send SMS

Ok, first of all I'm an old veteran at flashing ROMs. Secondly, I know about the SIM card reset, where I restore my phone to factory settings and enter a number in the dialpad (can't remember it, have it written down) to reset your network connection. The thing is, I have a few hours left at work before I'll have time to attempt that, so I wanna explain this issue to the community and see if there's an easier option.
So, to start, I have been running the 01/02 build of Bean Stalk 4.4.2 for a few weeks now with no issue. I'm also on the latest modem, VRUCML1, which I again have been running for a while with no issue.
Today I decided to try out some newer builds, so I made a nandroid and then flashed the new Carbon 4.4 build (01/19). This was when I had my first network issue, where it had me stuck in roaming even though I was in my home. So, thinking the ROM may still have some issues, I switched to a newer build of Bean Stalk (01/17). While I now had mobile data back, I found that my phone was unable to send SMS.
I finally restored my nandroid, yet now I find that this problem is still persisting. I flashed the previous modem, VRBMF1, and the problem still persists.
The weirdest thing, though, is that even though it won't send SMS, my mobile data works fine. I'm able to browse the web at full LTE speeds, but not send SMS.
Edit: After a recent test, it seems phone calls won't work either. So my phone seems to be handling the LTE functions well enough, but is having trouble with the CDMA/EVDO part of the antenna.
Anyone who has any advice, please help. Like I said, I'm inclined to do a SIM reset, but won't be able to until much later tonight.

Go into About Phone -> status check your IMEI and PRL and such are they still there?

My IMEI is there, it was the first thing I checked. I did the whole IMEI backup thing way back in the beginning with this phone.
IMEI wouldn't explain the problem anyway. I still have 2-3 bars of LTE at all times, which I wouldn't have if I didn't have my IMEI. For whatever reason regular phone communications (SMS/Calls) won't go through. Since I know that Verizon still routes those communications through the older CDMA/EVDO network, I'm assuming that's the source of my problem.

Sure just make sure things don't get corrupted, if everything is still in order then you can reset sim, worse case call VZ and they can reset (re-provision) the sim for you. Happened to me twice and VZ solved them in both cases.

The problem i had i couldn't recieved calls. Everything worked fine..
I ended up getting new sim card then the employee dialed *73 then my fone was back in action

yeah I figured that would have to be the answer from the beginning. Have to Odin back to stock first, won't be able to do that for probably another 3-4 hours because of a work meeting that's about to start, so I figured I'd ask around.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to them. Otherwise I'll reprovision tonight and report back.

The data/sms issue isn't odd... sms and calls are on the 1x protocol, data is on the LTE/CDMA/EvDO, so if you can't send sms, you can still use data.
Have you tried flashing one of the stock-based roms and seeing if the issue remains? I've encountered that before where stock is fine, but CM/AOSP roms have a wonky issue and *some* people report after doing so, they can get data/calls working on the custom roms. Unfortunately, my resolution there was to cab (LG device) back to factory image.

Flash back to stock, or a stock based rom with stock messaging. Try to force the message through. My messages stopped sending on aosp messaging and was persistent through rom flashes. I eventually forced it through using touchwiz messaging.
