So as I traveled to Puerto Rico, I had flashfired into Clean Rom 1.1 when I got here, I had cell signal for 5 minutes then in that sames spot the signal would be lost entirely. I restarted and the same thing kept happening. Over and Over and over, so I tried different custom roms, none of them worked. Then I lost all of my cell signal, not even Odin flash helps me have cell reception not even for an instant. Could be a programming error or is it more likely to be that Verizon deactivated my SIM due to all of the activation cycles i made my phone go through? Please help guys
What firmware were you on before you flash clean 1.1?

If you're still in Puerto Rico, that's probably why.
A) Puerto Rico coverage may work and be domestic billing wise for VZW phones, but it's not like being in the states. Some areas just don't work, and I think VZW doesn't invest into those towers like they do in the original 50 states.
B) From what I remember about the coverage map, it's primarily a 3G network, so it more than likely can't activate until you're in a 4g area. It should be fine once you're back in the states.

I've tried several resets, I even restored a two day old backup made via spb backup and yes, have also gone into "connection setup" under connections and let it setup AT&T as my provider which subsequently asks for restarting the pda. Also, the HSDPA utility is still showing a check mark on HSPDA On.
All of the above have failed to get my phone back to 3G speeds. I've even tried to surf/download thinking maybe just the icon is showing "G" or "E" however its painstakingly slow now.
So, its either the "G" icon or "E" is what shows now. This all happened when I looked at my phone this morning after SPB backup had performed its scheduled backup that was triggered around 2:30am.
other than that... THIS IS AN AMAZING ROM BY DUTTYTHROY!! YOU RULE DUDE..
oh.. almost forgot: my radio is 1.27.14.09 which I've read that only works with the AT&T Tilt, which is what I have. Just an FYI.
Someone please help as I'm a heavy data user hence can't afford to be without 3G/HSDPA ... TY

Cite your sources.
I get 3G/HSDPA just fine on my Kaiser, whenever at&t actually built out some towers.
When I first tried this rom (radio 1.27.14.09) I lost all connection with AT&T but after several hours and traveling into another area everything seemed to fall back in place. I've also noticed that the phone is very slow to reconnect after passing through blacked out areas, not sure why other AT&T phones lose connection but come back online much faster.
Otherwise the ROM is great.
Is it possibly something to do with your rate plan?
EDIT: nevermind I'm using a diff rom I think

I personally don't have any issues on the network. I'm running Dutty No.6 AT&T. Does this problem apply to a CID unlocked phone, a SIM unlocked phone, or both?

It shouldn't be my rate plan as I have the PDA unlimited for $39.99. Also, here's an update. This morning when I woke up my Tilt it was still showing E and my wishful thinking of Santa giving me a pre-christmas gift by fixing my phone (I'm easy) were just about drowned. ...however out of nowhere and without doing anything to the phone like soft-reset etc., the 3G icon came back and now its been coming back intermittently..
Now I'm pretty sure that its not that I'm traveling in a non-3G area and thats why its coming back intermittently as I live in a decent size metro area of Jacksonville FL and also because the areas I've been to this morning have always had 3G.. unless I'm wrong.. which I sure hope so..
BTW: I "downgraded" my Radio to 11.17 last night itself as one of the things I was trying to fix this issue. Just an FYI.
Here it is in a nutshell!!
Please note the following:
1) Got my new (unlocked) tytn II on dec 12.
*Sim in at 6:00pm. Had 3g & hsdpa till 10:00 pm. Went to bed.
*Dec 13th could not make calls or connect to data while on 3g.
*Calls would disconnect. Hsdpa message "the answering modem has disconnected "
* Switched back to gsm mode. Phone works but no 3g or hsdpa support.
*Dec 14 called att. Customer service said "unknown device" not supported.
*Transfer to data tech " Stated unsupported device" cant add the pda data package for $39.95. Stated my imei was blocked from 3g & hsdpa because of unlocked device status. But edge & gsm would work. Note edge & gsm modes work.
*Data tech said go to att store and get another branded att 3g device and use it to activate the pda data plan.
*I did this at 2:30 pm est. It worked for about 1/2 hour till 3:00 pm est. So much for my $39.95.
*Called att again & got a product support specialist(pr guy haha).he stated:
2) Att will not support an unlocked device.
*I said what about my $39.95???? I also said that i was a paying us att customer and was willing to pay for the high speed service. He said that they could no change my device unlocked status within the att network even though i was willing to pay for the data plan. I was pissed at that point. I told him that the hardware supports 3g & hsdpa and stated that att had locked a paying customer out of the 3g network. He said again "att does not support unlocked devices". I then asked him why i had access to the gsm & edge network and why att supported me on it and not 3g or hsdpa? I must have stumped him because he put me on hold. His reply after talking his boss was "att wil not support an unlocked device. We went back & forth like this until I Said "THIS IS BULLSHIP & HUNG UP.
* He call me back about an hour later because i threatened to switch back to verizon an stated " if you had the att original rom and if the phone was carrier locked it may change my device status" I said that I would give it a shot.
* Got the orig. att rom from here. Used sspl to apply cid per the reverting instructions. Phone said att 3g on startup & cid-8. Still no 3g. flashed hspl and bact to duttys rom 7.b for now.
In summary I can get the 3g & hsdpa signal but nothing works when connected! CAN YOU SAY CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT!!!
3G Test on AT&T network
How can we test if we are getting 3G speeds after changing our ROMs? I see the 3G and H logo's but don't think I'm getting the speeds.
Does changing the ROM unlock our AT&T phones?
Is there a ROM that is transparent to AT&T and allow us to use the 3G speeds?
Will reverting back to the AT&T Rom allow us to get the 3G speeds again?
newbie
Are you on drugs? , AT&T unlocks their phones, that does not matter , the reps you were speaking with are retarded they use a BILLING SYSTEM called TELEGENCE if you enter a IMEI wrong or of a unlocked device it gives back a UNKNOWN device message which means pretty much the reps can and if they dont want to , wont help you get your data working because they are lazy as ****. they do not block data on phones nor can they monitor your device to know what you are doing. their HLR's are only one way addressable.
Ok, I just upgraded to this ROM (cus duttys roms are amazing) after I read your post and...
I ran into some connection problems after my programs started looking for "my ISP" (isp.cingular) instead of "MEdia Net" (wap.cingular) In "advanced settings" in "connections" I re-set programs to run off MEdia Net, and it seems all is well
I think it might have switched when I was screwing with the comm manager and turned G3 off
DISCLAIMER: I'm a noob so take my advice with a grain of salt haha
No probs w/ ATT
My unlocked phone works just fine on the ATT network and i constantly get 3G UMTS and HSDPA speeds. Att does not block any device you are able to use on their network as they have roaming contracts with cell phone service providers across the world. If your device does not receive 3g speeds you can have your imei number added to the ATT allowed database just call 611 from your phone and talk to the service rep. If they give you any problem then call back and tell them you want to add the imei number of a wireless data card for computer and they will add that for you.
Must have been smoking the glass pipe!
Sorry folks.
This is a reception problem for me.
ATT really jerked me around.
The problem is a weak 3g signal.
If i dont have four bars 3g & hspda fail.
I went & sat under an att tower and everything works.
As soon as I drive away from the tower and the signal strength drops I loose 3g calling & Hsdpa.
Is there a fix.

Digg and random bloggers aren't really a good source. I remember the bullfrap article on Digg about Hummers being more environmentally conservative over a lifetime than any other green car.
have you tired having your sim card replaced? I had a similar issue where i was not able to call or receive calls in 3g but could on edge for a good day. Went to ATT and found out that others were having same issue with kraiser had them replace my sim card and everything worked great after.
Got 3G back and for good.... so far!

thanks for the tip jellorice.. I actually got my 3G back since yesterday and its been working great ever since. As for the sim being faulty, Thats something I didn't even think of and now that you've mentioned it, I'll keep in mind for future troubleshooting as I'm sure some other issue will crop up.
Nevertheless, Dutty's ROM 6 is UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME!!! I'm sure Dutty's gotten numb to all the kudos he's got and still is getting, being in Gazillions... but I wish I had better words to describe this ROM as for someone like me who is virtually bringing food on the table because of the Tilt (heavy business user), the key strengths of his ROM are just Marvelous.
Sry for getting sidetracked.. I got a little exited there.
After taking a long time to arrive from Hong Kong, I tried putting my Wind SIM into the Optimus T but it would only go onto GPRS on Wind Away (Rogers). The settings said the phone was a p500, but after checking behind the battery, it really was a p509. I tried multiple methods of getting the 3G to work, such as flashing the branded T-Mobile ROM with KDZ, applying the old baseband and adding a Wind APN, but nothing worked. When I force the phone to go onto WCDMA, it cannot find the network. In addition, with the T-Mobile ROM, it does not say that I'm roaming when I'm on GPRS, like it should.
I scoured the forums for other answers, but haven't really found anything that helps. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Might help to say where your located since Wind doesn't cover all of Canada and if your not in Wind coverage zone then you will be stuck to roaming on Rogers 2G network.
I am in a Wind zone, as I receive nearly full bars of 3G from my Nokia 500. I originally bought the p509 to learn about Android development, but having 3G would be nice (the Nokia isn't that great of a phone ).
UPDATE/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
-I have flashed mik's CM7, and the phone displays that it's roaming on the Rogers network (still on GSM, EDGE)
-My IMEI is displayed, as well as my phone number, but when I tried calling it from a different phone, it just says that I'm unavailable. It's only later on when I get a text message saying that someone tried calling me
-With the SIM card inserted, the Wind APNs for MMS and Internet are already added
-I was starting to suspect it has the wrong motherboard in a T-Mobile casing, but a production sticker on the inside indicated that indeed it was a 509
-LGMDP shows that the phone is using the old baseband (V10s), and is a p509
Any help is welcome, it's driving me insane since I can't seem to find the problem.
I have a mobilicity sim running on P509
do you want to try my sim on yours
or your sim on my phone?
where about are you? I am in burnaby bc area
Sorry, I'm in Ontario... I might ask a friend to try their Wind SIM in my phone and see if it works, but it probably won't. But I still don't understand; software-wise, everything seems fine.
I seem unable to get LTE on my D850 since I installed CM12.1 and was wondering if this is common for this ROM. I installed the nightly, so I assume its obviously going to be a bit buggy, but to not have LTE working seems strange.
I checked my APN and I tried both ATT LTE and ATT Phone. The ATT LTE gives me a status bar with an exclamation point and never establishes a data connection and ATT Phone gives me HSPA connectivity. At one time, I waited a few hours and it eventually established LTE but that was an uncommon occurrence and its never been repeated since.
With other ROMs I have not seen this issue replicated. I tested on Cyanide L, Euphoria, and the Stock LG ROM and everything worked fine. Any suggestions?
Hey there,
I'm running CyanideL myself, love this ROM.
Which nightly version are you using?
Have you checked that Mobile Networks --> Preferred network type.... is set to LTE?
Have you tried toggling to 3G, getting a connection, then moving back to LTE?
I also have this problem. Has a solution been found?
I just ditched the stock ROM and installed CM12.1 a few days ago. Now LTE has disappeared. I had it, now can't get it. I'm not able to select LTE in the settings→Mobile networks→Preferred network type menu, nor can I select any option that includes LTE in the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*). It's probably some stupid user error, but whatever it is has been eluding me for a day of messing with it.
Presently running cm-12.1-20150804-NIGHTLY-d850.

Have you tried restoring your stock ROM and seeing if it will connect? How about a SIM card pull?

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried returning to the stock ROM. I just got all my apps reinstalled and data restored, widgets installed, screens set up, etc., so I'm not too keen on doing all that again so soon.
I have tried a chicken SIM card pull. I was somewhat fearful of doing a pull "hot" as is usually suggested. I powered down, removed the SIM card, and restarted. After restart, I was able to select LTE in the settings→Mobile networks→Preferred network type menu, and the test menu confirmed that LTE/GSM auto was the preferred network type.
I then powered down, re-installed the SIM, and restarted. After restart the preferred network type had been reset to 3G and I was (am) unable to select LTE.
My conclusion is that this is something to do with the Net10 SIM I'm using. I've ordered a new SIM from Net10. The Net10 rep says a new SIM may fix things. One is on it's way and should be here in a few days. I'll post the result.
[SOLVED]
My new "LTE capable" Net10 SIM arrived today. I had Net10 customer service transfer my service to the new SIM. Now I have LTE; I'm able to select LTE in the Settings→Mobile_Networks→Preferred_Network_Type menu, LTE appears in the CM12.1 status bar, and I'm able to make a solid LTE connection.
I will here piece together everything I've learned from my own experience, Net10 customer support, and internet searching. My conclusion is that there are TWO compounding problems for Tracfone/Net10/StraightTalk users. One is techhnical and the other is marketing.
The technical issue is that all Net10 (also Tracfone and Straight Talk) AT&T SIMs sold up to a couple of months ago don't work with LTE on the AT&T network. That's most of the AT&T SIMs from these companies out there in the world today. This is not widely known – in fact, most of the Net10/TF/ST customer service reps are not aware of it. It's not something that Tracfone and its subsidiaries want known because it would cost them a bundle replacing SIM cards for unhappy customers. If you have a Net10/TF/ST SIM that's more than a few months old, you have to call Net10/TF/ST and buy another new one that's compatible with AT&T LTE if you want LTE service.
So, why don't more Net10/TF/ST AT&T users raise a fuss and demand LTE capable SIMs? That brings us to the marketing issue.
AT&T lies. So do Tracfone and its subsidiaries. AT&T markets its HSPA+ 3G service as 4G when it's not. In fact, the AT&T stock ROMs that most people are using lie. The stock ROMs display 4G or sometimes 4GLTE (depending on ROM version) in the status bar when in fact it's a HSPA+ connection; not 4G let alone LTE. So users cruise along using their old SIM cards happily thinking they have 4G or LTE connections when in fact they do not; and they're none the wiser. It's only more sophisticated users who flash a 3rd party ROM, one that doesn't lie, who figure it out.

Hello Everyone,
Recently I came back from trip to USA. Everything was working fine, I used Wind's roaming in USA. Ever since I came back to Canada, my phone is struggling to connect to Wind Home network. It almost always connects to Wind Away (roaming) even when I'm in the coverage zone. I tried a new SIM card, factory reset, *#*#4636#*#* steps and I'm still stuck. Eventually it connects to Home network after 1 hr but when I lose the signals (subway tunnel, basement), the phone is back to Wind Away and stuck again.
I tried Koodo and Virgin mobile SIM on OPO and they work fine, however when I put my brother's Wind SIM (which was not used in USA at all), the phone doesn't connect to WIND Network. The same SIM on LG G2 locked on WIND works fine. The provider says that they have no issues from their side regarding the IMEI and all that.
Can someone please help me with this frustrating problem? I'm running CM12.1 (currently stock state) and International OPO. Thank you!
I have the exact problem on Wind with my oneplus one. Went to Lac la Biche for a few days and now I'm back in Edmonton it's stuck on wind away.
Hi all,
Phone was working fine but after upgrading to Android 7 I'm unable to place calls. it says "Emergency calls only" and when I try to place a call I get " Not registered on network".
- Phone was working fine prior to upgrade
- Tried different ROMs and got same result
- Tried another SIM card. Same problem.
- Used my SIM on another phone. Works fine
I read somewhere that this has something to do with the modem certificate and that the only way to fix the problem is by getting a Z3X or Octoplus box to connect to the phone.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I've been messing around with it for the last couple of days but still no luck...
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's like that. It may be, but it's not sure.
If OP said that phone was working properly before the update, I think that his EFS partition's got messed up.
If you have a total TWRP backup or an EFS backup, try to restore it.
If you still have no luck, your only option is Octoplus Box or such things.
Second hand phone right?
Mine is second hand phone, as well. 930S. Have had the same issue when I've flashed to 8+ ROM, and moving from no cell coverage area and then back into cell service area. I'm able to to a service search and it will find the towers and upon selection will connect back up.
If I flash to a different ROM, about same issue. As long as I remain in service area does fine. Skip out of the area and I may have to re-search.
I'v flashed different CSC's, no change really, except when I flash an AT&T CSC, then it seems to stay locked on a bit better, though with AT&T CSC I am unable to enter phone codes, so I went back to 'stock' (Korean phone Chinese regions). Stock has no CSC directory present in the root/system directory, which is interesting. I leave the Chinese regions unchecked and the phone finds local towers, US west coast, AT&T networks, T-Mobile, etc, just fine, overall. It's just on very weak signal or no signal that I may occasionally have to do a re-search when I'm back in a coverage area.
Your's sound much more a PITA.
