Hi everybody,
I have been following XDA for years now and have always been able to find answers to my questions here regarding flashing for a HTC Desire, Galaxy SII or my current Galaxy S4 I9505, rooted running a 4.3 GPE rom. Baseband is XXUDMB. Recovery is CWM 6.0.4.4.
After following the thread GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez I decided to flash. Love this rom, it's superfast!!! One thing didn't work for me: the phone kept losing connection with my Dutch mobile carrier Vodafone (no data, phone calls not possible), especially after locking the screen. To my understanding the rom does not ship with LTE of GSM modems, so it should not be the problem that a 4.4 LTE modem causes sound, data or WiFi problems when on the "old" bootloader (pre KNOX). After flashing the baseband still shows XXUDMB.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and setting network type to GSM. However, the menu is not the same as my current 4.3 and the option LTE/GSM auto (PRL) is not available.
Reverted back to my 4.3 rom for now, but really hope somebody knows how to solve the issue.
Hello guys,
Yesterday my LG G2 from T-Mobile and also wife LG G2 from T-Mobile lost que 3G/4G icon and the internet service. Yes, both phones!
The phones can call, get sms but no internet. Already perform a factory reset, hard reset, added the right APN, tryed to change the network mode, tryed with my 3 local operators and nothing, no internet or 3G/4G signal
I'll try to return the phone to stock 4.2.2 to check if this can fix the problem, currently running 4.4.2 stock.
Any other suggestion? Maybe it's just a simple fix but coulnd't find anything.
Returned to stock android 4.2.2, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476, by the Tot method and it's working again, updated to 4.4.2 via OTA and everything seems fine now :good:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 CDMA Verizon & GSM phone. Originally it was on android 4.1.2 and working fine for both CDMA and GSM (one at a time). CDMA EVDO Rev A data service was working fine.
I am using this phone in Nepal (not in USA). It was carrier unlocked for both CDMA & GSM when I purchased from Amazon. (so, I guess, Originally it may had some customized firmware/ROM for International use, I don’t have much idea).
I was asked for firmware upgrade every time when I run Samsung Kies. One day I clicked to upgrade the firmware. The upgrade was over successfully. But the new android version I found on my phone was 4.4.2.
In this version /new upgrade, I was unable to use CDMA data (EVDO-rev A). So I wanted to reverse back to old version. I search the process in Google and tried to load firmware with the help of Odin3 using this file:- “I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip”, but it was not successful. Result: Fail(Auth)
Then I loaded firmware for 4.4.2 using Odin3.09 (AP: “I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar.md5”) and now the phone is working.
• If I use GSM SIM I can make call and use HSPA data service as well by adding new APN.
• If I use CDMA RUIM I can make call, BUT DATA SEVRICE using CDMA EVDO Rev A is NOT WORKING!! (I can not save APN in this case).
Now my issue is how to make CDMA EVDO data service working in my phone, because my basic requirement is to use this phone for CDMA service (voice + data).
I can edit the APN but when I click “Save”, nothing was saved. So I can not select APN for my carrier. I tried using APN Manager Pro too, here I can enter & enable the APN, but did not work. The phone is not able to dial the data access code #777 (verified from CDMA service provider side trace).
Can someone help me what I should do to make my phone working for CDMA data. My phone is rooted.
I guess it may work for CDMA data if I downgrade it to 4.3 or 4.1.2,
Can I do that. If so what are the procedures / steps. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciable.
My data worked this way

I think your problem is the region is not set Nepal...I installed dark jb rom in my phone and data was gone since then. Then I manually downloaded stock firmware and flashed through odin but still data wasnt working,nd while in recovery mode i saw region INS ie India. then something came in my mind and.. .I changed it to NPL and now i can use data in only sim 1 only not in both sims. So i also may need some help.
For you *#272*IMEI# . Use your phones IMEI number there (*#06#) . Select NPL region.
NOTE: It will hard format your phone installing required carrier apps, aps, bla bla and hope work on your phone

I found that the hidden menu (& hence secret code dialing) was disabled in my phone. Following guides from Google search I enabled it. Now codes likes "*#06#",*#1111#", "*#0228#" etc are working, but "*#272*IMEI#" is not working. Any idea, why it is not working?

Well, it looks to me as though you've locked your bootloader and are now stuck on 4.4.2. For some reason, Verizon forces Samsung to lock their bootloaders, which means we (the consumers) cannot install "custom" firmware on our devices (or downgrade).
Once you're on 4.4.2 NE1 your stuck with it. No downgrade possible at least not without a Jtag service

Hello. LTE is not detected on my Nexus 5 (Sprint).
I've been thinking on downloading a factory image ( https://developers.google.com/android/images#hammerhead). Will this image override my modem/baseband drivers?
My ex used this phone before. I would not be surprised if she did something weird to the phone.
Any other ideas? I already tried *#*#3282#*#* and *#*#4636#*#* to select only LTE, then LTE/CDMA then I have updated the PRL..
Thanks
