Sidekick 4g service going off and on again?!? - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

What do you mean by try a different modem sorry im noob ! thanks!

It may help with your issues, there are only a couple options for this phone, can be flashed in recovery like you did your rom.
Someone has a post, I believe a sticked one that has all the modems for you to choose from

Get the latest sim card, free from t mo, I think the latest is t9177 but if you call or go to store they'll tell you. Or try a different ROM, or go pull a logcat to see what's going on when service drops

I take it you did a factory reset?
there are a ton of ways to fix this, but you should take this opportunity to flash a new ROM and upgrade to gb. Follow fbis251's GB starter pack and flash Valhalla, icbinb ki1, or audiophile. Then try again. keep your Tmobile Sim card in while you Odin. if you are still getting the same problem...I can walk you through the long way

Yeah man I did a reset and odin already it didn't work I call tmobile I regret calling they don't know ****. All I know is that I think we have to set up the tmobile network manually tell how man I'm a quick learner.
I'm currently running valhalla latest update by whitehawk

[Q] Can't mount /cache/

So I have read the other threads where people run into the issue of not being able to boot their phone back up but it isn't helping me with my G2X....
I am getting the error message of can't mount /cache/xxxxxxx every time I try and wipe my phone. I also am unable to flash any new ROMs or boot my phone into a normal state. Has anyone had this problem? can anyone help? I greatly appreciate it....
How did your phone get in this state? What did you do before this problem occurred?

I actually have no idea, I had just flashed an eagleblood ROM and it was working fine, I went to make a voice command and it froze, after 5 minutes i took the battery out and put it back in and tried to boot it up, that is where the problem began.
ive had this problem 1nce b4 dunno how either, but the rom 4 recovery thread in dev section fixes it no probs : D

They don't stock them anymore, so if they don't have anymore in stock they say they give you the next best phone which in reality would be a Galaxy S2.
But they mean next best in terms of price, and since the Galaxy S 4G sells for the same price as the G2x used to sell for, that'll probably what you'll be getting if you return it and they don't have any G2x's left.

[Q] Roaming help for CM 10.1 Flash PLEASE!!

I flashed CM 10.1 and got some errors about network connectivity, so decided to just go back to my backup of a rooted stock image. Afterwards i still see that i dont have network connectivity, and i am now roaming. I Saw some guides saying to flash back to a stock image. But can i do that with an OTA JB version already? and ive read about just "reprovision my phone", will it work even with the rooted stock image?
Thanks
and my IMEI is still in tact

Have you checked your subscription type on what ever ROM you are on. Also the best method is to Odin root66 and disk the repro vision code

I am on the stock OTA JB from verizon at the moment, and ive tried to do the root 66 and the one i downloaded from doesnt have the .tar.md5 file in it: its was from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
and im not exactly sure by what you mean subscription type, and can i just do the reprovision code if im just OTA JB with just root?
Under mobile settings there is an option for CDMA subscription type it must be rui/sim, nit sure if it's on stock though.
Also the repro vision code doesn't work on jb that's why you must go back to root66

After you download the one you linked to me you have to extract the .tar. I assume you know how to do this, but just in case right click the zip and extract all

Great to hear! I recommend avoiding cm10.1 until the bugs are worked out.... If you rely on your phone.

Yes, stay away from CM 10.1. I lost my MEID from doing it which means the phone wasn't able to make or receive calls.

You can lose that no matter what you flash. That's why all ROMs say to back it up before flashing.

Hm, Anyone know how I can input my SIM Unlock Code? I tried putting an invalid SIM (Rogers SIM and a Bell SIM) but I can't get to the SIM Unlock page. I also tried the 2945#*999# But it gets stuck at USSD Code running on the WIND Sim card and doesn't work on any other SIM.
Are you running a stock ROM? I did it with mine using the special menu, but I had to flash the stock ROM in order to do it.

Hi G2xer,
Thanks for sharing this great site. I am a Canadian Wind user. By following the instruction, I am able to get an unlock code to unlock my phone.
For all the Wind user out there,
If you are on CM7 based rom, you will need to restore back to stock rom first. Otherwise, you will not be able to get to the unlock screen.
Thanks,

Phone Book Search Problem

My phone book search become case sensitive.
For example if I have a phone book entry as "David Paul", then to locate the same I have to put first or last name in search window with the same format (D or P Capital). If I put "david" or "paul" in search window then it doesn't work.
Few days back there was no such problem.
Can any body guide me, how to correct this...
Thanks in advance.

Thanks friends.
I have gone thru the settings, but nothing there related to my issue.
I am using Samsung Google Nexus S 4G, rooted, using Custom ROM of Slimbean with OS 4.2.2, using stock app only for Contacts.

So then try extracting the contacts app from an older version of the ROM found within the zip in the system then app folder, it might be called secContacts.apk. Move it into the /system/app directory of your current ROM and it might work. If not, tell me.

Actually in the process of fixing this small issue I might have mis-handled few system files and my mobile had stopped working, network signals had completely vanished and I am not able to use my phone for calls as well as texts.
Then some body had suggested Odin Restore, which is something difficult for me, but while searching the remedy I got a ROM in xda only, after flashing the same, my phone got started and the contact search issue has also resolved.
In have attached the image of flashed ROM.
