Hi,
i have a used mytouch 4g which i rooted, s-off and gfree for my mom. she does not need data. i was able to pop in her att sim card and i had to manually select AT&T as a registered carrier. but every now and then, it would unregister itself and i would have to manually go into settings and select at&t again. i did this for my friend awhile back and it was fine for her. the only thing different is the rom. she was using CM7 and my mom is using slim bean 4.2.2. could it be the rom or did i mess something up while unlocking the phone? the phone had 2.3.4, and i had to downgrade before i can s-off and run gfree. though it looks like everything completed sucessfully, her phone keeps getting unregistered.
Try a different rom. I would recommend the last cyanogen nightly; or someone else had compiled a newer version of it.
If not try Stepps AOSPx; its a stable ICS.
Definitely ROM issue as I gave my glacier to a friend who has att and its on the double shot ROM with no problems

Since last night (maybe even the night before) I've been experiencing service problems with my HTC Inspire. It'll recognize I have a SIM card at times, and then It wont. I rooted my phone following this thread (specifically this video) I've had my phone rooted for briefly a week and after I finished that video, I left it at that and didn't follow the next video on how to flash a custom Rom. Any ideas on why this problem is occurring?

The downgrade rom is an older Desire HD rom that is used for the purpose of rooting. It really doesn't play nice if you leave it on the phone. You need to flash attn1's updated stock rom and radio from the developers forum if you want to stay stock rooted. Otherwise, just flash a custom rom and matching radio.

Well apparently he used bubby's simple root, which if he at least followed that through to completion, meaning the stock rooted ROM got pushed to the phone, then he shouldn't be on the downgraded ROM.
OP...
Under settings > about phone > software information > baseband, what number is specified?

Hmmm. I'm not sure what rom the one click leaves you with, but the hack kit left me with a pos Desire HD rom that obviously didn't belong on the phone. I had to go somewheres between the time I rooted and flashed my current stock rom, so I got to play with it a bit. Mms didn't work, it wouldn't allow me to setup email, and, despite connecting to wifi, it wouldn't open web pages. Mobile internet did work, but the speeds were horrid. After booting it took forever to get a signal. Idk if this was the downgrade rom used to get root or a different rom flashed afterwards, but to me it was still a downgraded rom regardless. Once I flashed attn1's stock rom, it was all fixed.

The Rom installed at the end of Bubby's method is very usable. It seems like a stock Rom. I didn't notice anything missing, but I didn't use it that long.

Lol.
That ROM was never intended to be left on the phone. It shouldn't have been some mystery needing to be solved, as from what I recall, it pretty clearly tells you that a new ROM needs to be flashed to restore the Inspire to a fully functional state.

It is usable and it is stock... Rooted stock with the shipping radio.

Yes, I do recall it saying something along that line. I just didn't expect it to be that non functional. I was hoping to use it for a few days until I made a final decision on what rom to flash. Fortunately, I came across attn1's rom later that day. I do recall when researching Bubby's one click method, it stated it would take you back to stock. I just wasn't sure if it was meaning stock Inspire or stock Desire HD.

I bought a used Nexus S 4G from Sprint and I'm trying to activate it. Apparently the old user had rooted it and it can't be activated while rooted. So I UNrooted it back to stock and they still can't seem to figure out how to activate it. What are we missing?
Did you flash it back to stock un rooted gingerbread? If not do that. Then report back.

Did you re-lock the bootloader, and go completely stock? or just flash a stock rom?
You can try this, im pretty sure it locks the bootloader and goes completely stock as if it were out of the box.

i bought a rooted CWM 4G with some GB mod on it
i put a ICS rom on it just to figure it out
after a couple of days i couldnt stand it
[was still waiting on the OTA for my original 4G]
i went on line and activated it on my account
by entering the esn without issue...
your problem is not 'cause it's rooted
radio?
mismatched rom maybe?
i'd look elswhere
I am assuming there is not a line of service still attached to it?
If not try to swap the esn online as the previous poster suggested. When I bought mine used I tried to do it online and it said it worked but it did not complete the activation. I had to call Sprint and they walked me though a factory reset. Worked like a charm.
I am happy to let everyone know, I have my GS3 flashed to VZW prepay. Of course, its a Sprint version phone that has been flashed. (talk, text, and 3g) Currently its rooted, CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 and running a Blazer Rom stock base off of LG8 L710VPLG8. It has the sprint bloat which i can do without. Since it is actually on VZW network, I would like to know....
Can a VZW ROM be flashed to the device that has a stock VZW feel and still very useable due to it being a Sprint phone? I would love to have a stock, rooted, unlocked rom that has all the apps out of the box.
Please help... Ive only gotten as far as changing the boot animation to make it a fully VZW ROM!
If you check the build.prop, see if it says d2vzw.
Sprint version is d2spr.
I changed my vzw to spr one time and was prompt me to do some Sprint stuff at startup. It was weird. Not sure if it can be done the other way around.
I don't think you can flash vzw roms. If the phone is Sprint based. You can always flash a generic Rom like aokp or slim.
And then manually install the Verizon apps?

Does anyone else have any suggestions? Really need help cause 3g data jumps back and forth at times to 1X.
I have looked through quite a few threads, and followed a plethora of instructions, so If I have missed something I apologize.
I originally had the MZ600 without the 4G upgrade, and decided to give that to my little brother and purchase one that had the 4G radio.
So now I have an MZ600 with the 4G radio upgrade, activated on verizon. before I tried any flashing, I had 4G. I didn't want to do the bigPart upgrade yet, so I flashed the 196 version of EOS4 for stingray (not stingray cdma) and upon boot up, i could get 3g but not 4G. It showed the baseband as CDMA only with no LTE.
I flashed back to stock Honeycomb, and after the OTA update of the radios, i had 4G again. followed the OTA's all the way to 4.1.2. still maintained 4G.
After that, i decided to do the bigPart, which after some finagling I managed to get it partitioned, and installed OmniROM 4.4 stingray (not stingray cdma)
Upon boot, I had no 4g again, and could not even get 3g data at all. so i repartitioned back to stock, and reflashed honeycomb. got 4G again.
So my question is how the heck do I get a new ROM on this thing, when every time i flash one, I lose the 4G radio baseband?
Did you ever get an answer to this? I am in the exact same boat. Same story except I performed the LTE upgrade myself. Works flawlessly on Stock 4.1.2, but I have not found a single non-stock ROM with which I can use the mobile data.
Bump!!

I had the same problem, until I called into customer service and had them totally delete my tablet off of the account. After that I had them reactivate it using the (here's the catch) IMEI, same sim.Hope this helps.

My tablet is already activated using the IMEI and has 4G data. but I am still running stock. I may attempt flashing cyanogenmod at some point to see. but for the time being I have simply dealt with the stock rom. Rooted of course lol.
Here's the Answer!!!

Long story short, the problem is that final OTA update. You HAVE to stop installing OTA updates at IMM76L. DO NOT install JZO45M. As near as I can tell, it installs some sort of radio update that is not compatible with most if not all non-stock ROMs.
If you do let that final update install, you have to take the device all the way back to stock honeycomb and start over. See the above thread for precise details.

That's my thread, and what Taylor says is spot on. All of these custom ROMs are built using proprietary files from ICS and the JB update screws everything up. It's a laborious process to get 4G working, but it's worth it.

Check the Final Update......you MUST stop at IMM76L......Activate your SIM after every patch update to be sure. If you don't have your 4G back by IMM76L you have to wipe and restart the process. The LTE Baseband files are not being flashed to the radio properly.

YOUR pain? You have no idea how many hours I put into trying to figure out why data wouldn't work and then going through all the possible steps to make it work again, AND THEN writing everything up.

So, I'm buying this to replace my evo 4g and I was wondering how I would go about using a custom ROM for this and having the apns and data working correctly.
I plan to activate it on Ting.
To be a bit clearer, I want to use a custom ROM and I want to be sure that it'll work. So first, can anyone on Ting confirm that they're running a custom ROM (preferably KitKat) with no problems?
And I assume I'd have to activate the phone first, then install a custom ROM. Would I have any problems doing that? Would the apns be messed up? Or should everything be fine as long as I activate the phone and update everything on stock before installing a ROM? Reason I ask is because I know some Roms don't allow the *#*# thing needed to activate a phone on a new network.
Thanks!
I am using mine on Ting. I had used my first Q as unrooted stock JB, which worked pretty well for a year, but then it reached a near--bricked state where it wouldn't boot past the yellow Sprint screen. I couldn't resolve this in a timely fashion, so wound up buying a second Q which runs stock ICS, but failed to download the stock JB update.
In the meantime, I unlocked both phones' bootloaders, and tried a few kItkat ROMs on my original phone before settling on CM 10.2, which is a JB ROM. I then switched my Ting activation (back) to this phone. The lack of #*# commands isn't really a problem with respect to re-activation, but it is a problem with respect to PRLs and (perhaps) APNs. I recommend Ting activation and a PRL update prior to installing your custom ROM.
Like others, I would like to learn about a stable kitkat ROM where bluetooth, wifi, and phone data/sms/calling all work reliably. My other primary requirement is the ability to play DRM'd downloaded Amazon Prime Music, which didn't work on the kitkat ROMs I tried, but does work on my JB ROM.
