[challenge] Can explain why mobile data only works with stock ROM? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi!
Can anybody explain me why mobile data only works with original stock ROM?
I have tried ambasadii and king rom.
With both ROMs I was able to activate my SIM card.
With both ROMS I was able to make and receive phone calls and sms.
With both ROMs I was able to access wifi.
With both ROMS I had mobile data turned ON from settings.
With both ROMS I had correct APN data (verified from my ISP homepage)
small hint (may be unrelated): When I uninstalled too much of bloatware (probably something I shouldnt) I ended up in the same situation. I had mobile data on, and correct APN data entered.
In all cases described above:
1) web browser showed me that I am offline.
2) ping google.com told that google.com was unknown host.
3) ping 8.8.8.8 told me that it cant reach that network is unreachable
In all cases I tried to:
1) Restart phone
2) Move to location with better signal (although I tried in places where it worked with original rom)
Nothing helped. So I installed back stock ROM. Now mobile data works out of box again. With stock ROM I did not touch APN settings. It just worked.
Can anyone explain me what is happening and how this could be fixed?

It works on custom ROMs too.. depends what u didn't install from aroma installer from the custom rom..or maybe a CSC related problem but I don't think so. I'm on a s8 port ..and I tryied all the exynos ROMs out here and the mobile data worked on every one of them

^^That's correct. You are doing something wrong. I can confirm Mobile Data works fine on every single Custom ROM I have tried.

MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.

- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.

OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.
woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?
is gps working
i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..
im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.
im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.
I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.
Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!
Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.

[Q] - Apps can't Access Internet on Mobile Data (Just flashed to cm7)

I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to post here but, I posted the following on the CyanogenMod boards and androidforums too, but no response yet. Hoping someone here can help me with this weird problem I have. Any help is much appreciated. Also this is my first post, and I'm quite a n00b (I did watch the video), so please be kind.
Let me describe the problem in some detail:
When using Wifi everything works as per usual.
When using mobile data (Wifi disabled) apps cannot access the internet.
E.g. Whatsapp messages not delivered, No news/weather updates, Play Store wont load etc.
BUT I CAN browse the web . (Visit the CyanogenMod home page, Wikipedia etc.)
So I believe this can't be an APN setting problem or something of that sort, since there is internet access to the phone, just not to any app other than the Internet Browser.
I am a first time flasher, so please be kind. I used the instructions on: [https : //gist.github.com/1694742] to flash to CM7.1.0 (also followed the optional Gapps part). I couldn't use the instructions on the official wiki since my Hboot version is 2.00.0002.
It might be worthwhile noting that on my first boot, I tried to set up my Google account but failed, since (I presume) it could not get to the internet (even though the H sign is visible on top next to signal strength). Later on I can set up my Google account using wifi. Also no Google apps were actually there (even though I followed the instructions to flash them in) on first boot. I have to go to the market and manually download them (Gmail, youtube etc.) I'm not sure whether that is normal, but that's how it is. I have tried this entire process a couple of times, and always ended up with the same results: everything works on wifi, but apps (other than the Internet Browser) can't access the internet on mobile data (3G/H).
Also perhaps worth mentioning: I have now flashed to CM7.2 RC1 using ROM Manager, everything works fine, except that I have the same exact problem as before.
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance!

I would suggesting going S-OFF and installing 4ext recovery (as opposed to CWM) as it will prove easier and more reliable.
You can Revolutionary to S-OFF but it requires an HBoot version of 0.98.0000 or 0.9.0002. To find out how to downgrade your HBoot, read this guide.
A list of RUUs can be found here.

[AOKP] Cellular Data Not Working

Hey there, first post and the search function wasn't working so if this problem has been posted elsewhere just let me know.
I just flashed the Sept. 28 AOKP for the A2 along with 4.3 GAPPs and everything seems to be working swimmingly...
Except the mobile data.
I've enabled and disabled data, enabled and disabled airplane mode. Reflashed the firmware and GAPPs and still the data doesn't seem to want to work. I'm getting 5 full bars and for whatever reason it just won't connect.
Anybody else had issues like this?

You have to manually put in the APN 's for the ROM
Goto system settings mobile networks Access Point Names and manually input the settings depending upon your carrier the setting will differ...
Google your carrier specific APN settings and input them it should do the trick....:laugh:

Emergency call only.

Hi all, I have the title problem, mi nexus 5 won't take signal with my Wind (ita) sim. I have tried two device, galaxy ace plus and galaxy S5 and they can take signal using same APN and located on the same desk in my house.
I've searched a lot on XDA and other forums to get a solution, but I can't find anything that's can help me. I can't seen it to Google because I can't find his original box and the original receipt.
My phone can take signal only using "xTraSmooth" rom, but is very old and I want to use Pure Nexus.
I've added this string to my build.prop it was posted as a potential solution:
"#settings
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1"
And I've changed *#*#4637#*#* option to LTE/GSM/wcdma auto (prl)
But at every reboot it set itself on LTE/GSM, with or without the build.prop string.
I know that is a common problem, but no one found a real solution.
Thanks in advance.
If everything works on a stock rom, you need to use a different custom ROM.

Today I will try to flash xtrasmooth or a stock factory image, thanks for the tip
----\\\UPDATE///----
Flashed same xtrasmooth, inserted string in build.prop and i do the trick with *#*#4636#*#* and the phone set itself to LTE/GSM auto (prl).
I wanto to use my nexus, why this phone have a lot of problems?
----\\\UPDATE 2///----
Flashed miui 8 global by Dio_S used the build.prop string and now work, i have to be lucky with a rom now? i don't like miui, and i will test other rom, i hope in a normal rom...
----\\\UPDATE 3///----
(i hope last update)
I've searched a lot to reach the best solution with this phone.
Now im using DarkRom and i've found a solution! Or something like a solution, hahaha.
I've downloaded "Nexus5 field test"
Give root permissions (magisk or super su, think doesn't matter)
Select three dot
Hit "Root Settings"
Select three dot
Hit "Settings (view)"
Hit LTE
Hit edit
Write your service code (id you dont have this code use this guide to get it using adb https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561 )
Use these settings:
Lte Enable/Disable (enable)
Band26 (disable)
Band41 (enable)
Band25 Proirity (1)
Band26 Proirity (1)
Band41 Proirity (0)
hit back to reboot and now should work, if not i don't know.
You have to reboot every time you select Airplane Mode and it will work!
Good Luck!
Can i up this post? If someone would to test my solution i will be very happy!

Virgin Mobile PRL Disappears From Custom ROM [Motorola Moto G 2015]

When flashing the Motorola Moto G 2015 with any custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Resurrection Remix, Lineage), the PRL information sticks until a reboot from custom ROM.
When rebooting, the phone has internet access (including Hotspot), however no text messages, inbound/outbound phone calls do not work. The fix has been flashing Virgin Mobile stock ROM in TWRP recovery, programming the phone (##72786#) and then restoring a backup from custom ROM via TWRP recovery. Then the phone will again be able to send/receive text messages and phone calls - until the next reboot.
Would like to know if there is a fix to bypass reflashing stock ROM if phone needs rebooting from custom ROM. This process takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Big nuisance.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Copy this APN (see the attachments), to system/etc and set permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- with a root explorer. Reboot. Go to settings>more>cellular networks, select LTE in Preferred network type, and RUIM/SIM in system select. Tap the "carrier settings" option at the very bottom. All the radios will reset and come back on in a few seconds, and everything should work after that. Let me know if you need any more assistance, I'll be happy to help. I've had to deal with this issue since day one.
Edit; You will only have to do this after flashing a ROM, and this includes updates too. It can also be done through TWRP's file manager immediately after flashing before you even boot it the first time, and without root.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 does not have the menu - settings>more>cellular networks. Is this done via stock ROM?
Also, don't have RUIM/SIM in system select. Only 'Home Only' and 'Automatic'.

Try rebooting the ROM without your sim card in. Then put it back and reboot once more. It should reset. I didn't realize you were still using cm12. Those settings are only found in 6.0.1 and up. The apn settings not being visible has something to do with us being CDMA. I think it's the sim cards virgin uses.
You also need to add these lines to the end of your build.prop too. (Not needed on MM+)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
ro.telephony.default_network=8
telephony.slteOnCdmaDevice=1

While waiting for your reply, I copied the APNS-Conf.xml file attached to your original reply to the system/etc folder on phone and rebooted. Inbound/outbound phone calls and text messages seem to be working now. Even performed a backup in TWRP and then rebooted again. All seems to be operating properly.
I did not add the build-prop text you gave in previous reply. What exactly does this build-prop text do? I'm hesitant in adding it as everything is operational - the old saying 'don't fix what isn't broken'.
I was using Cyanogenmod 13, however, I did not like some of the Cyanogenmod 13 apps, i.e., text messaging app. The Cyanogenmod 12.1 texting app has many features that CM 13 doesn't. Also, CM 12.1 seemed to run smoother on the Motorola Moto G 2015 phone I'm currently using.
Also would be interested in knowing where the apns-conf.xml file was pulled from and what all this file did to make everything work again.
FYI, as standard procedure I always mount system and then flash the Virgin Mobile APNFix (which I've attached for anyone running across this thread in need of this file) in TWRP after flashing a new ROM and associated GAPPS , however, it seems that the apns-conf.xml file became corrupt/unusable somewhere along the line.
Your efforts in helping me solve this issue are appreciated.

If everything is working properly, then don't worry about adding those lines. I had to add those and the apn to get LTE working on the older test builds of cm12. As far as I know, it just locks you to virgin. It was likely fixed in later builds of cm12.
The APN I pulled from an older build of cm13. When flashing the older ones, the install process would locate and copy virgin's current apn to /system/etc and rename Motorola's default APN to .bak. (The giant 500kb+ APN with all the carriers found in stock.) It would also add a US Cellular APN. I discovered at some point from poking around enough, that deleting the .bak and US Cellular APNs got LTE working if I reset the radio afterwards.

This is a nice and informative thread for anyone that has the same issues that you and I have had with Virgin Mobile APN's. Hopefully it will be added to Google searches soon.
Appreciate all the help.
