[Q] [SOLVED] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash. - Samsung Infuse 4G

This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Now I'm thinking an app like GetRil might solve this. But the Infuse is unsupported.
Does anyone know of a similar app that supports the Infuse?

idk..this may sound silly but if you want to try:
1. go back to stock gb
2. take out sd card
3. factory reset
4. cm9 flash twice..run it to see it imei and data is intact. then boot into cwm. factory reset
5. flash a 4.1.1 build..check imei and mobile data.
6. then flash 4.2.1 build
...disclosure: i'm guessing

Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Hmm. Interesting. I didn't think of trying to step up the JB versions. I'll try that and report back. Thx.

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

very odd...I guess your phone doesn't like 4.2.1.
Good luck with it, though.
Sounded like you've pin-pointed the problem to a change from the 4.1.2 to 4.2.1.

Im losing it all after i went back to stock gb 2.3.6

I changed the APN settings on my device as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526 advised. I'm running 4.2.1 AoCp and my mobile data, MMS, etc. all works fine.

mine would loose its imie. i would have to flash back to stock gb and then cm9 let it boot up and then flash cm10 4.1.2 if i flashed another rom before cm10 4.1.2 my imie was gone.i could flash any4.1 or 4.2 rom after flashing cm10 and be fine.

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.

Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

This thread is exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately it's for the SII, but it's the same. The bummer is that we can't run GetRil on the infuse. I'm stuck again. At least it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this particular issue. Any help?

It's working!!! :good:
I grabbed the UVKJ6 modem, flashed it, and APNs are displayed and working.
I've tested with 4.2.2 versions of Beanstalk, Paranoid, SlimRom, PAC, and The Collective's (shout out to dman who spoiled me with Zeus).
Tried to re-download and install the JB version of my trusty UCLB3 modem, but it would not work (for me) with any of these ROMs.
I've never been so happy to have my notification bar freeze! Lol.
I'm assuming this all has something to do with the stage of development for JB? Idk.
I can't thank you enough. You really came through when I needed help. Thank you Sir.

Good to hear.
You Prolly just needed to re flash a modem.
Blscallions deserves the credit for putting those together.

I'm having the same problem as you, but my data won't work at all even after turning wifi on/off. On the pull-down menu it says that I have no service. I would love to try the modem fix, but this is all brand new to me and I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me out here?

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.

[Q] Why can't i get data connection after flashing a new ROM?

I have a Koodo Nexus S on rogers currently running CM 7.0.3. I have had the urge to flash a few ROMS and i have done so unsuccessfully. Every time i flash a ROM i lose my data connection.
I flash back to stock, i lose my data connection. It shows that i have a UMTS (3G) connection but no data can be transfered.
I double check my APN's every time i flash but i always have to nandroid back to CM to get the phone to work properly.
I have also flashed and got the carrier to reprovision my data to no avail...can someone help me out? Perhaps the build.prop file?
have you tried manually re-creating the APN settings?
the ones from backup might be corrupted?

I just tried it coming from GB NexusMod 4 and just got the boot loop as well. It is a little tricky getting back into recovery - you only get about a second in the CWM menu before the phone spontaneously reboots.

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.

Tmo
Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend
Also, i think this guy should credit The Collective.

That is the version of cwm I have with Slim 3.4. I have had no problems with data. My only suggestion, if you want to try again, is that you flash base first then, without rebooting, flash essentials. I would also suggest that you have your preferred modem loaded on to your sd so that after you reboot, you can see if your modem will work.
This is an outstanding ROM.

I also have this version, flashed several roms, modems, did the modem dance, and not getting any phone signal, only wifi.
Would it be good to try a USB solution instead of cwmr?
I dont have any clue of how all this technical things work, I just follow instructions and then it does not work.
I need a helping soul, please.
I love the jl3 modem personally. Make sure you have the correct APN settings first before changing anything else.

Just to add my "me too" to the discussion. I couldn't get Slim ICS to work for me as a phone - no data, no phone (I couldn't call from my home phone). I flashed a modem I knew worked for Doc's - no change. I checked the APN and activated - no change. I reinput the password in case the APN had it wrong - no change. I reflashed the whole package and tried all these again - no change.
So I reflashed Docs. As soon as the first boot concluded, my phone was telling me I had a missed call (from my home phone). Whatever the issue is for some of us, no one has come up with an answer yet. We just have to stay away from that ROM.

Q] Synergy Rom mobile Data

I can't post in the developer forum because of my post limit.
I know this question has been asked before but i admit i don't understand the responses.
I am using Synergy Rom r257 and my mobile data just turned off overnight. I haven't been able to get it back. My IMEI and ERI are still ok an calls come in and go just fine. But under my phone status i have no IP address and i made sure that CMDA/LTE have been checked off.
I have tried to toggle data and airplane mode, I also flashed r257 again. I did not use TB to restore my files after installation and did it all manually.
It was working fine for a few days. I am not sure if this matters but i have noticed since i installed that whenever I hung up the from a phone call it would say no sim on the call screen.
any advice would be appreciated
updating the baseband got me on 3g. baseband vrblk3.
but my network type under settings still says unknown.

That I bought my phone off Craig's list already rooted running taste of bean (cool story, I know)
First thing I did was flash miui ROM. And had 4g. A few hours later I noticed I had no 4g? So I'm texting the dude about it and he is clueless then I notice I lose texting.
I nandroid back uped into whatever he had made (stock rooted)
And it claimed I was in roaming.

Only fix was for me to Odin stock unrooted and dial the factory reset number. I am terribly sorry as I forget the number off the top of my head. *27 something
Afterwards my phone was perfect and went on rooting
I know a lot of this seems tedious, but I'm a noob and this is the best answer I have.

[Q] At a loss, data but no voice/sms

I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.
