Hi. I've recently got into to ROM'ing on my Razr HD (XT926). I've tried about 3 different ROMs, and I'm currently using the Liquid Smooth ROM. My problem is that with every ROM I've used, the data isn't working. I'm running at&t thanks to modem unlocking the phone. I can make and receive calls as well as receive text messages, however, I can't send text messages and I can't access an Internet connection through the network's data. I've tried doing the modem unlock a few more times, although that hasn't done anything. Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a way to fix it? Thanks.
Try using the Roms for the xt925.

Are you sure they'll work the same?
Yes it's still basically the save phone. Or you could try this.

Sometimes we need to manually set the access point names (APN). It happens to me everytime I flash a new rom. Check on Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Access Point Names, or similar. Now, if missing, you must add every APN your carrier uses to establish a data connection.
Hope it helps.

This sort of worked. I was able to get my connection back, but it keeps flickering on and off. I've tried adding all the APNs, but it will only let me save two. Every time I add another and press the "save" button, nothing happens and the APN doesn't appear. Sometimes I can send text messages whenever the data shows up, but most of the time, it doesn't. This is getting really frustrating.
Anyone on this forum with an XT926 have it running on at&t and on a custom ROM?
Well the xt926 is strictly cdma I believe. While the xt925 is a gsm version.

Glad it "sort of" worked. Not showing anything or more than two APN it's a common bug between roms, as far I can recall it does add them anyway. Just being curious, which rom and build are you using? Are you sure your XT926 is GSM?

But the XT926 has GSM radios and can access at&t's HSPA+ through a modem unlock.

I'll give it a go. Whichever ROM I choose won't make a difference, will it? And by "unsteady 4g", you mean HSPA+, correct? Because at times, I can't even make phone calls and the phone isn't even connected to the carrier and I can't even make phone calls.

Has to be the original sw restore-latest version.
If the custom rom is based on 4.2.2 or 4.3 => please check your baseband version. Because the new custom rom is build base on the new baseband firmware.
I use old baseband firmware VANQUISH_BP_1045.711.53.20P on my xt926.
I replace the files on /etc/firmware on the custom rom before flash it to my xt926.
And to make it easier for me I build some flash able zip files that replace the /etc/firmware with the old baseband firmware.

I got the data to work, but the SMS/MMS isn't working at all. I think that's an APN problem. It's become a big headache. Also, the signal bars are blank (but grey) on the Xt926 roms.

Exactly same problem, similar phone.
Im a noob so take it easy on me.
I have a motorola droid 4 XT894. I have just flashed a custom rom and now I cant get the internet to work.
Im in Australia and have been using the phone for 6 months with the factory rom with no problems.
I have have tried 2 different rom and both have the sane problem. I tried putting in my APN manually but still no good.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Ken

Hi,
I recently decided to flash a jeallybean ROM since most of them are getting really great and we don't have any word on the official update. Unfortunatly, I'm now unable to get a data connection on my HOX. It's the rogers version which I unlocked and I'm now using on the Bell network. Before flashing, LTE worked fine with the stock sense ROM, but now I don't have any data at all.
ROMs I've tried :
AOKP, MIUI and CM10.
I've tried to : set the data connection to GSM only, nothing, to LTE only, nothing, to WCDMA only, nothing. I've tried all the APNs I've found (pda.bell.ca, pda2.bell.ca, inet.bell.ca). On AOKP it sometimes said "Error while searching for network". WiFi, texts and calls work fine.
If anyone could help me, it would be really appreaciated. Otherwise I'll just revert to Rogers ROM. Thanks alot!
I cant offer any help, but I'm having a similar issue recently. I was on a nightly build of CM10 (from 10/06/12 I believe). I upgraded to a newer build (from 10/10) and I get no data over cell. I flashed it back and things were fine.

Before flashing jelly bean roms you need to flash a sense rom then do full wipe and install cm10 or aokp..

Every device has its own nuances, as do various ROMs. So I'd advise posting this in the forum specific to your device.
Still no data connection.
I am having the same issue with my AT&T One X phone.
The phone was running 2.20 before it was unlocked/rooted. Installed TWRP, was a noob and forgot to save a backup, fastbooted the boot.img, flashed AOKP and CM10 successfully. With both of these ROMs, I could not get internet to work via cellular connection. I have tried everything with the APNs (even had AT&T help me setup APN settings) and still no mobile data connection. I can still receive/send SMS/calls, use bluetooth and wifi, just no mobile internet.
I'm not entirely sure what to do next. I attempted to go back and flash the UrDroid 4.1 Stock Sense ROM, but after fastbooting it's boot.img and attempting to flash with TWRP, I got a signature verification failure. Got scared and restored back to AOKP (I remember to make a backup this time.)
Thoughts? Sorry for being a noob.
Are you in an LTE area?

I am in a "4G" area (HSPA+) but I am also a hour drive away from LTE. I have tried APNs for both, but AT&T recommended I stick to the LTE APN. AT&T had me go to Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Network Operators and the phone just sat there searching without finding anything. I just did that above operation again and it found AT&T and I selected it. It spins on "Registering on AT&T..." for a few minutes and eventually errors out "Cannot register on this network at this time."
Have you tried switching off LTE by selecting "GSM/WCDMA Auto" in Settings?
I've had data problems on certain ROMs, where turning off LTE got the HSPA+ connection working.
In that case, it was probably a base of build.prop not playing well with AT&T's network. Although I would think the ROMs you mentioned would have these issues worked out at this point (and for some time now).

When I switch to "GSM/WCDMA Auto", it immediately switches itself back to the LTE setting. This is concerning.
I have been using an ICS ROM (PrimoS v4.1) on my Desire S for some time with no problems, but recently have tried flashing a number of JB ROMs (e.g Andromadus, CM10 and JellyTime). I have found that when using any of these JB ROM's, I am unable to get a data connection and the APN list is blank. Despite many attempts to add APNs manually or by use of APN backup apps, I have failed to add an APN to the list.
Do I need to update the radio to solve this problem? I never did this when going from original HTC Gingerbread to the ICS ROM.
Please excuse the ignorance on this subject. I've read somewhere that there is a danger of bricking the phone when flashing radios, hence my reluctance to try without good reason!
I live in the UK and use Virgin Mobile.
Current radio is: 20.281.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
All help appreciated - I've had a tantalising glimpse of the wonders of Jelly Bean and I'm desperate to get my data connection working!
TIA
I can't say whether changing radios will fix your problem. I use Radio 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 on CM10 and have no problems.

Thanks for the reply BillGoss.
I took the plunge and updated my Radio to 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 with no problems. My phone continues to work fine with the PrimoS (ICS) ROM, but when I flashed JellyTime, still no APN's and I was unable to create one, hence I can't connect to the 3G network. D'oh!
Correct me if I'm wrong but with ICS you don't have the probelm and with JB you have the problem
that you have no and can not set the APN values, Q, dit you have a clean ROM installed.
I had this problem once when I tested a ICS version with sence 4. Later when I installed a CM10 version
I had no APN so I did a factory reset an de problem was gone. To be sure I wiped al the data on my device
and restored a earlyer nandroid backup. Later I tested a lote of ROMS but so far I don't have the APN issue yet.

Yes HypnoCondor, I always do a full wipe before flashing the ROM. I've now done a ot of Googling and trawling XDA threads and have found that the issue seems to be confined to CyanogenMod-based ROMS, not specifically CM10 and covering a lot of different phones. I'm not techie enough to fully understand, but it seems that CM is not registering the SIM card properly and hence the APN list is always blank and can't be edited/saved manually.
What's particualrly confusing is that I recently flashed the CM10-based CyanogenMod 10 Beta Builds [4.1.2][ANDROMADUS 3.x][Frontcam] ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256) and much to my surprise it worked! My APN list was populated and all was fine. Unfortunately , after rebooting the phone, the APN's were gone and I've been unable to get them back, despite trying every trick in the book gleaned from XDA users with similar problems.
This is very frustrating, because I really love this ROM
Looks like I'll end up going back to the PrimoS (non-CM, ICS) ROM so that I can get my data connection back when I'm away from WiFi. That's a real bummer, but I'm damned if I've been able to find a fix for this issue.
Just for future reference: being unable to set APN has nothing to do with radio and has everything to do with the ROM you're using. But you've already found that out yourself.

Hello dear community,
I recently bought the Motorola Razr Maxx HD for use in germany as I live there and the handset is not available there.
Before buying the phone I made sure it was global ready. On stock rom 4.1.2 I had no issues getting a data connection, all I had to do was edit the APN manually. Happy that it worked I continued messing with my new phone by rooting, unlocking and flashing a costum firmware on the phone.
I tried Carbon rom nightly 27/07/2013 and a port of Vanilla RootBox, sadly both did not want to connect to my carrier after editing APN settings.
What did I forget to do?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Solved the "issue" for me. Just flashed a xt925 cfw and there we go, network connectivity
A better solution is to flash a x926 rom and to remove/outline this part in the build.prop:
telephony.rilV7NeedCDMALTEPhone=true
Reboot and gsm/umts works.

One sure way to bork your radio is to mess with the band with a phone info app or *#*#4636#*#*. I am sure there other ways to do the same thing. Only fix is a full restore to stock.

I tried that and set the device to gsm only (and other) but there was no receiption nor would the phone recognize my sim card anymore.
The strangest thing was that the network settings kept crashing if I wanted to open them.
I googled a lot, searched in different forums but never found a solution. Then I read somewhere that someone flashed the gsm rom of his phone on his CDMA version and it worked and I thought well what could possibly go wrong as I have a more than one nadroid backup .

No, with xt925 cfw I meant a rom like Cm 10.1 for the international model.

I'm having an odd issue. I've been running the latest Hyperdrive ROM release on my S3 for about a year now, but I can't stand Touchwiz ROM's so I've tried flashing AOSP ROM's such as CM, AOKP, even Beanstalk. I love all of these ROMs for tons of reasons but I keep running into the same problem, everything works great but I can't receive mobile data. My mobile network state is Disconnected and I have no idea how to fix that. I can text, call, and connect to wifi fine, but no mobile data. I've backed up my EFS but I'm not sure that's connected to the same thing. I have the network set to "CDMA/LTE" (would be more specific but each ROM has it different), but for whatever reason the APN settings are inaccessible. The menu option is clearly there but I cannot open it to ensure I'm using the LTE APN. I decided to give this another go yesterday, and still no dice. However upon restoring my CWM backup of Hyperdrive, I have now lost 4G and am stuck on 3G. My network type now shows eHRPD and while I can access my APN's (I was always able to on Touchwiz ROMs) I can tap on the Verizon LTE APN, but it seems to make absolutely no change to the actual APN. In fact when I reboot it it defaults back to eHRPD all over again.
So, 1. have I somehow screwed myself over? and 2. what am I missing with AOSP based ROMs?
Thanks for any and all help.

I would try flashing a stock ROM such as the one on ScottsROMs.com
The 4.3 stock rooted, OTA disabled, UNlocled boot loader and no Knox.
See if you can get data with that. Firmware for the radio may have gotten messed up, and this would re-write that data (long shot, but worth a try). Another option would be to re-flash the radio maybe.
And now that I think of it, which radio are you on? MF1, ML1, NE1? Because I think I read somewhere that certain ROMs require a certain radio newer than _____ (don't remember which radio).

Thanks for the help. I flashed a 4.3 ROM as you suggested, and no difference. I then chased some threads around and decided to just factory reset it as if I was going to return it. Still nothing, I get 3G, not LTE. I was using MB1 before I flashed an AOSP ROM, at which point I flashed the MF1 firmware and then the ML1 modem. That did nothing to fix my issue. I'm not quite sure what else I can do at this point.

Hmm... ML1 should be new enough.
That's a bizarre issue.
For me, I mainly get 3G. It seems as if either Verizon pulled some LTE towers near me, or my data antenna doesn't have very good contact. Maybe you're having the same issue.
Do you EVER get 4G? Or literally never?
As the title says, I am on T-mobile now with my D850. My phone is currently unlocked and rooted using stock rom.
the last phone i flashed a custom rom was with my htc one x and frankly i forgotten all the little details and never bothered because it took a lot of time. i know i need bootloader unlocked to install a custom recovery to flash the rom then back up, install gapps, etc etc. I don't have time or the patience to relearn everything.
I got interested in learning that CM11 is available and i checked out the CM website and was surprised to hear all i have to do is install the installer on both my phone and PC and boom, everything else is automated. This is what i want to try. Here are my questions:
- do i have to manually install any apn, radio, etc. things of that nature to get the proper t-mobile network signal for voice, LTE data, and text messaging?
- is an official D850 released so that once i install, i can simply keep up to date into CM12 via automatic updates through the software? (one click update OTA)
- do i need to make a titanium back up or will all my apps and settings stay when i flash CM?
I appreciate any and all answers. I have not unlocked bootloader via bump yet. but my main worry is will i have to custom install/input all the t-mobile apn and radios because that will require me to manually find and install and risk messing things up.

- is an official D850 released so that once i install, i can simply keep up to date into CM12 via automatic updates through the software? (one click update OTA)
- do i need to make a titanium back up or will all my apps and settings stay when i flash CM?
I appreciate any and all answers. I have not unlocked bootloader via bump yet. but my main worry is will i have to custom install/input all the t-mobile apn and radios because that will require me to manually find and install and risk messing things up.

You just need to install Bump! And a backup is recommended in case something goes wrong, as far as connecting to tmobile all you need is the APN, i have a D850 and i live in mexico and CM11 and 12 work fine with just the apn, also everything will get wiped except for pics and music if you dont wipe internal storage

errr i am not comfortable with adb to install bump! would the automated installer on pc and phone do all this for me? i guess i can try? i just love how CM installer does everything for you. also thanks for confirming all i need to do is input the APN which i'm familiar with when i had switched to t-mobile after i had unlocked my phone. lastly will i have to install gapps separately? Thank you so much, i wish i didn't have to use adb to bump!

Dont need to use adb, just download flashify from the play store, does it all by itself, very easy, the automated installer is just for the rom, you need a recovery first, the gapps should be installed at the same time as the rom, but ive never used the auto installer, i would flash it with the recovery, i like to things manually
Just to let you know that with every AOSP ROM with a T-Mobile Sim you will get a kernel panic if using LTE. I have the D850 but using a T-Mobile Sim. I have to have it on 3g instead of LTE. No ones been able to figure it out I'm guessing because there is only one or two of us using a T-Mobile Sim with this phone. Bummer huh
???CAUTION???
May ruin other ROMS after this
because nothing compares

Well then have you thought of changing carriers? It is a d850 for Att ..... Does it kernel panic on stock Roms ? You might just be **** out of luck cause I'm pretty sure everyone here uses Att. I use straight talk with no issues. You have slim choices..... Change carriers. .... Quit using T-Mobile if you are unhappy with the custom ROM and LTE kernel panics. Or buy a T-Mobile g3..... Lol suck eh... But just telling you what you need to hear.
Or maybe if you are ballsy try to see if a Dev for T-Mobile can help you with this cause I'm thinking that may be your beat bet cause none of us use T-Mobile. :thumbup::beer:

It's fine with stock based ROM s which I'd rather be on AOSP with HSPA

interesting note, will update you, LTE seems to be working fine, speeds are fine, but i need to use LTE longer to see the kernel problem. I'm on the CM 11, dec 6 nightly currently. how about you?
Latest nightly of cm12. Try downloading a ROM over LTE
