[SOLVED] Mobile connection and SMS stopped working after messing with ROMS - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.

You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.

Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)

Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?

Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?

Data Problem post 3.5 upgrade Verizon XV6800

Please forgive me if I am posting this in the incorrect location, I am new to this. I have searched threads and google for an answer, I have not been able to find one.
I used the 2.40 unlocker
I flashed my xv6800 with Radio 3.35.04 and ROM 3.35.651.2
I preformed a soft reset prior to Sprint Customizations
Phone booted no problem
Dialed *228 Option 1 - Worked Phone incoming/Outgoing Works Fine
Dialed *228 Option 2 - Worked Phone Reports PRL Version 51056
Phone shows a Sprint PCS Connection, tried to delete, wont delete, don't think this is a problem
Added a Verizon Connection and chose it as default
Verizon Connection -
Modem - Cellular Line
Dial - #777

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
I'm having a similar issue but with dcd 3.2.0 and radio 3.42. I've made my own connection with the correct info and I get the same error... I'll be interested to hear any solutions/suggestions.
try ##778 then send or # depending upon the rom.
go to view , security. in there check your usernameand password. normally password is dec esn of your phone.
Did you run the Verizon Carrier cab? I bet you didn't. If not, then the phone doesn't have the encrypted handshake code or whatever it uses to access the data network. Run the Verizon carrier cab and reboot the phone and see if it works then.
Tried....
Got rid of the Sprint connection, all setting appear correct, same error though

even if you ran the carrier cab once, you are supposed to run it again after activation someone said if you were having data issues.
if that still doesn't help, you may need to manually add/edit your shared secret keys for the data.
Please read this thread and see if it helps:

Im sorry, I mean I tried it after you suggested it, after activation (*228 is activation, correct?) Im going to check out the link, thank you

I might be wrong, but instead of

[Q] MMS problem

Hello
I got a big problem that i can't resolve alone. I configure a new APN on my tab and i can access 3G+ but it seems my MMS profile doesn't work. I can't send or receive any MMS....
I join 2 different configurations for Android , one for HTC and the second for Samsung galaxy tab. Anyone can give me any solution to sent an MMS with that?
Thanks a lot!
Pleaaaaassssse help!
I don't know about samsung tab but if it happen to me I will flash a new rom.
Sent from my ViewPad7 using xda premium
It would be helpful to post a little more details on your Vpad7 basics so that maybe, one of us can help figure it out or test our ROM:
Let's take a simplistic step-by-step approach first -
a. are you using stock/factory ROM or rooted, custom ROM including verison #
b. your mobile carrier for the SIM card, both SMS and MMS enabled & working on another quad-band GSM phone
c. SMS working on the Vpad7 as is - both incoming & outgoing
d. using the default Messaging feature/module installed or using something else,
and if you haven't try it already, download & use Handcent for SMS/MMS
f. if you have already done all or some of the above, do a Master Reset on the Vpad7 first to clear all the existing settings, boot into RECOVERY to wipe dalvik/cache/system, and then flash, as suggested, a different custom ROM.
g. any technical support or help from your mobile phone carrier
Cheers - mastering everything on the V is a challenge !
First , i've tried with standard rom. No succes. Then i flashed my vpad7 , installed TJ's rom and... same problem.
BTW you're true , i'll try my sim on another phone , try MMS. And i'll try to put another sim in my vpad7 too.
But , i just think one little thing is missing , because when i look at the other froyo's config , some little thing are changing between diferent phone model.
So , i think viewpad need a personnal configuration.
I got Gosms and tried to configure MMS on the program settings , but same problem.
I've called the technical support but can't help me and told me : "we have some configuration on website , try these , if it don't work , not our fault"
Thanks for your help
Does anyone can send me any working config for MMS on viewpad 7? Just want to see what's different.
THANKS...
These are mine under Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile Network > APNs, they're OTA/downloaded automatically & self-configured
AT&T MMS (wap.cingular)
Proxy (Not Set)
Port (Not Set)
Username & Password (Not Set)
Server (Not Set)
MMSC (http://mmsc.cingular.com)
MMS proxy (66.209.11.32)
MMS port (80)
MCC (310)
MNC (410)
Authentication (Not Set)
APN type (mms)
Note - these are nearly identical to AT&T WAP, which is usually configured for web browsing with data enabled.
Ok , i tried all solutions and then:
My sim works on other phone , i can send MMS .
Another Sim on my viewpad ( different operator) , once configured , worked. So it's not a viewpad or sim problem , just a Digicel configuration problem.
Any solution?

[q] apn settings not taking in my, regardless of correct apns-conf.xml-- nerfing mms

Im building a 2.3.6 ROM for the samsung R720(Vitality). Everything is working now except for the APN settings.
Here is my process and issue.
One phone, 2 different carriers (Vitality = Cricket -- Admire = MetroPCS)
My carrier (Cricket) requires apns-conf.xml and cdma-carriers-conf.xml (both of which are set correctly)
The build Im using is a GENERIC update from Samsung for the Admire(R720) (ported for the admire -- native to MetroPCS which only uses apns-conf.xml, not cdma-carriers-conf.xml).
I have both xmls set correctly, and upon first boot, I can get data, web, sms, just no MMS
I can restore APN with ApnBackupRestore, and MMS will resume working after a reboot.
It is not an Mms.apk specific issue, as I've already tried multiple mms apks known to work, as well as edited the mms-config.xml within the apk =\
Could it be that since the generic 2.3.6 update was meant for MetroPCS (and does not use cdma-carriers-conf.xml), this could be the root of my issue?
Im at a loss on how to get the apn to 'take' on first boot. I do not want the end user to have to restore from apnbackuprestore.
Does anyone have any insight to this issue?
Thanks in advance for reading.
Friendly *Bump.

[Q] glaxy s ii data network not working.

I had custom android 4.2.2 and i reverted to the original 4.1.2 rom. Now mobile data isn't working. The phone was originaly on orange ro now it is on cosmote ro. It worked Before on cosmote with t e original rom and the custom one. I sent an sms and recived setings but it still doesn't work. It says it's activr bot i see no icon in the notification tab.
Any ideea?
Have you tried checking the APN settings?
I have an issue where i flash my phone with SlimROM and then Chrome and Whatsapp is not working on data. Then I realize that the ROM auto select the wrong APN settings. I entered the right APN settings and I have no issue with getting data.
Also check if all the apps are receiving data via wifi first.

Wifi works. I'm wrighting from my phone now. The settings where wrong but changing them is the first thing i tried but i didn't work.
I never had thisproblem before even when i flashed custom roms. It feels like it doesn't activate the net even if it says it does.
Got it. I had the settings for gprs and i needed the ones for broadband.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comment. It turns out the ROM was selecting the wrong APN by default. I switch the APN and updated the settings. Now it works like a charm

Resurrection/LineageOS| IMEI needing restore?

I'm hoping someone might point me in the right direction for restoring cellular functionality on a recently flashed GT-I9300 ?
Essentially what I've attempted to so is up-cycle an old Samsung Galaxy so that my son can communicate with myself and his grandparents on Signal.
System: RR-N-v5.8.5-20180914-i9300-Unofficial
Recovery: TWRP 3.02.1
RR is up and running (and quite slick!!) and generally there appear to be no issues apart from:
- SIM being undetected
- Baseband version: "unknown"
- Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Cellular Networks: APN / Network operators / Preferred network type; these are all greyed out
There's a brand new sim card in it (two others have been tried); I just need a way of helping RR discover the correct settings needed for cellular functionality? I wondered if there might be a modem config file somewhere I could edit - but I've not got that far yet, and I'm not even sure if this would be the right approach. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
I presume you have no backup of your /efs partition ?
Have you tried another ROM ?
