Here is what is going on, I flashed a new kernel last night to correct a problem with the VirusRom's proximity sensor. It was one of Adrenalin's ROMs. And my 3g/4g stopped working. Only 1X. This morning I flashed a different kernel, his stock ROM, to try and get it my 3/4g back. That did not work.
Then I flashed a previous backup of VirusRom, one that 3g was working, thinking that would fix the problem. It did not either.
Why did that not work? Isn't the kernel part of a ROM? Also what do I need to do get the 3g/4g working again. I keep good backups and could flash back to stock. Would that work?

wow you have to do some reading...there is a whole thread on here about 3 and 4g not working NATIONWIDE....it is a Verizon problem!!!
No time frame when it may be fixed..it is not YOUR phone......it is EVERYONES PHONE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13252048#post13252048
4G LTE is currently down nationwide, apparently its been out since sometime last night. Verizon hasnt said much about it other than the fact that they are working on a fix. Im guessing it has something to do with the new 4G Samsung phone being released tomorrow, but I could be wrong.
ok, thanks. Sorry I did not see that thread.
Reboot and 4G back up in Phoenix.

Hey guys!
Sorry for the endless posts. I just flashed superclean 2.9 for froyo and now I have no 3G connection, only wifi. When I pull down the notification bar, it shows Mobile Data is on, but...it's not.
Is there any solution for this issue? I have tried *228 and 2 several times; at first time, it worked for a while, but it disappeared soon.
Just for sure, My original modem was EA28, so I have flashed DL09 when I flash SC, and now I flashed DJ05. Everything works perfect, but still no 3G connection. I'm so frustrated :-( If I go to Verizon guys, then they must be like it's my responsibility. What am I suppose to do?
Thanks!
Others experiencing the same issue have found that activating another phone and then re-activating their fascinate helped restore a data connection. You can try that or if you decide to take it in to verizon just make sure you flash back to a stock unrooted rom and they shouldn't have a problem with.

I'm not sure, but is S.C 2.9 made to run under a modem less than dl09?
yeah but dj05 is also eligible to use SC rom.

why don't you use the eb01 modem?
Had to restore to stock and go to verizon. They couldnt figure it out. I said it just updated and since i had lost data. Replacement came in the next day.

You need the DL09 Modem for SC 2.9. My 3G works fine though, even worked without the DL09 modem, messaging wouldn't work right without the DL09 though. At least that's all I noticed not working properly.
Did you clear data and cache and such before flashing to the SC? Have you tried it again? Still running the stock kernel?
I had the same problem, but I was on stock, no 3G at all, called Verizon, they sent me a replacement at no extra charge. Now my 3G works fine.
I've been having the same issue, but i got it back after turning on&off my debugging & my wifi. it's take a few minutes thou
hope that helps!
I have had VirusRom installed for about a week now. Overall I love it.
Here is my problem though. When I am making a call the screen will lock. I have to push the power button to bring back up the screen in order to hang up the call.
Shouldn't the proximity sensor know when I pull it away from my face so I can hang up the call? It did before I went to this rom, was still using stock rom at that point.
Anyone know of a way to fix this problem? I have tried to post this question on the VirusRom forum, Since I think it is a bug with the rom, but am not allowed. It says you need 10 posts to be able to do that, Still I get that too even though I am over ten posts. Oh well on that though.
This could be a deal breaker for me and VirusRom. As it is quite frustrating to me. If anyone has any thoughts on how to get around this I would be thankful.
It's due to the kernel Virus installed in teh rom. It's one of Ziggy's first kernels and it has a bug that prevents the screen from turning on after/during a call as you describe.
Fix: Install a new kernel.
There are several on here to use, or you can search PPCGeeks / Ziggy to find his new kernels, which he has now fixed the proximity sensor issue.
Thanks for the answer. I downloaded kernal manager from the market. Any specific recommendations for a kernel? Adrynalyne's seem to be the most stable, but maybe I should stick with a stock kernal.
You can't go wrong with one of Adry's kernels. You should start with one those.

I had the same problem. I installed the new radio which was supposed to fix it and it did. But Im having trouble with the data connection, so I flashed back to the stock radio.
Ziggy's new kernal upgrade has fixed this issue. Id suggest downloading that. It works great and super crisp and fast over the version that came with the ROM and the proximity issue is fixed, been testing it for myself and all is good.
Check the VirusRom thread for info.
Ok, So I flashed one of Adrynalyne's kernals and now I don't have 3g or 4g. Just 1x. So do I flash another kernal, maybe the stock one, and the problem is solved? That will put it back the way it was right?
nope that did not work, I flashed Adrynalyne's stock rom and still just 1x. What have I done? What do I need to do to put it back? SInce I keep rom backups everytime I flash a ROM, I am going to flash back to the previous version that did have 3g and 4g working. I hope that works. The kernal is part of the ROM, correct?
Now this is getting frustrating. Flashed back to the previous working virus rom the one I had before the kernel update, and it still is only 1x. Wouldn't the kernel be part of the rom? Why did this not work? What can I do now?
Ok, since the rom is not the problem3g/4g problem, I reflashed the kernal to ziggy's updated kernal. And that did not solve the proximity sensor problem. I still have to unlock the screen to hangup the phone. Kind of strange I think, since that was supposed to be one of the fixes in the kernal.
Any thoughts on this?
Use Adrynalyne's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024338
I use the 4.3 and it runs perfectly fine and the prox sensor works, his are in Kernel Manager also so it will be an easy fix.

verizon 3g might still be down?
I recently switched radios and went to 2.0 and installed the BAMF sense 3.0 rom. All was okay, wifi wasn't working so I switched to a different BAMF gingerbread rom and noticed 3g wasn't working.
Then I switched back to my old configuration, factory rom and radio so I could diagnose what my issue was. I saw fixes online posted when eHPRD was down to dial ##778# enter the password and then disabling eHPRD and going to "enabled". This fixed my issue.
So here comes my question. If 3g only works when eHPRD is disabled is it my sim that is broken? ALSO I cant check if 4g works because I used phone info to change to "CDMA auto (PRL)" and I can't switch back to the LTE mode because my network types are really odd. Are these options different because of CM7 or because I have eHPRD disabled, or because my sim is likely dead?
Pic of network type options from the Phone Info screen is attached.
Don't take this offensively, but did you try scrolling the window down? I see in your pic there are lower options not visible in the window without scrolling.
Just checking all bases
Always safe to check! The last 3 options are "evdo only" "gsm/cdma auto (prl)" and "unknown"
I didn't bother to post them because before I had about 4 different options I think, I have no idea how I got all these random options. Is it kernel related, radio related, rom related, or dead sim related -_-
Hmm ok just checking.
Well that is very odd indeed. I am running MR2 + Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imoseyon 3.4.0 GB Sense lean kernel and do have some odd connectivity issues, even with 3g. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it might be advisable for you to reflash the radio, then reflash the ROM and do a full data wipe factory reset. I mean that sounds like a very bad problem and personally dealing with Verizon and SIM cards is a royal PITA which you should leave as a last resort. So try doing a completely fresh install imo. It's the only way to rule out any uncertainty.

Yeah I forgot to mention that I have reflashed back to the older radios and to the news, I have tried seemingly every combination. The only way I can get 3g to work is to disable the eHPRD.

I had a similar situation on a different rom. Everything was working fine until I updated to a newer rom build, and I lost 4G. I figured it was verizon messing with the towers, so I didn't worry about it. But two days later, I still had no 4G (I still had 3G). I went on a weekend trip to another 4G area, and no dice. I flashed every combo of rom & radio and couldn't get it to work. When I got back home, I went to verizon & swapped sim cards, and still no 4G. I finally went back to bone stock and got 4G again. I have no idea why this happened, but be prepared to go back to stock if reflashing & sim swapping doesn't help.

It appears you both were right. Went back to complete stock and I have 3g working in eHPRD mode. Willing to bet 4g works again too. Thanks for the help...I guess I will update this thread if I find anything new out.
Just as an update...not sure what I might have done wrong before...
But I went back to stock with root, then went to the CM7 that worked with MR1, then I went to CM7 that worked with MR2, then I put MR2 in.
Everything is working perfectly now.
Glad its working fine. I personally wouldn't advise messing with any particular Radio settings aside from switching it from CDMA + LTE/EVDO to CDMA auto (PRL). Anything else and you're just opening up a can of worms that no one really knows anything on.
I've had my thunderbolt for over a year now and its been rooted for most of that time. Up until recently everything been working fine. I was running CM7, but for the past few weeks I haven't been able to get data when connected to 4G. The 4G icon shows up but is grayed out, but when I toggle airplane mode it turns blue but still does not work. My first though was that my radios were wrong so I flashed a bunch of different radios but none of those worked. Next I tried flashing a bunch of different roms (all AOSP because I hate sense), no help. I finally figured it was my SIM card so I got a replacement from verizon.
So none of this worked and on a whim I decided to flash a sense based rom, and 4G worked!
Is this a common problem with thunderbolts or does anybody have a fix for this? I really want to switch back to CM7 (running MIUI with no MMS right now).
EDIT: I forgot to mention, for some reason 4G data works on the MIUI rom I'm currently running. So for now I'm opting for speed over MMS.
For anyone interested my radios are currently:
LTE: 0.01.79.0331w_1
radio: 1.49.00.0406w_1

Hello,
I have had my tbolt rooted for over a year as well, I am a flashaholic and never had a data problem, maybe u need to switch ur kernel, I'm on ziggys kernel and I've been on since it released and never had a problem, I never really changed my radio, hope this helps.

There are 4G issues with AOSP, you get slower data speeds and for some reason my coverage recording maps don't record 4G properly when using AOSP. Sense works fine.

I did switch to imosyens lean kernel on a few roms after things started acting up. I don't think my kernel is the issue though, seeing as I was running CM7 for so long with no problems.

Odd that it worked for so long and randomly crapped out. You wouldn't happen to know of any fix or work around to this problem, would you? I really just can't stand the notification menu and icons that come with sense.

First off,
Thanks for taking the time to view this post and offer any help.
Second, sorry if it's in the wrong place (Never really sure of the right place these days)
Finally, the problem:
This morning my phone had no signal at all for a good few hours till restart. I got signal back then shortly afterwards it drops again not to come back on till a restart. I have done a clean flash of the ROM and it is still persisting. Oh and I forgot to say that now my radio is asking for superuser access constantly which makes the phone unusable, this doesn't restore the signal though. I have also tried flashing Evervolv with the same result.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Now the phone won't get any signal at all, even after a reboot and full wipe, it's like the rom can't access the radio receiver (No idea if i decribed that right)
EDIT: I have a feeling this may relate to my problem. Could anyone confirm or correct me?

Seems like that link you provided is down right now. Have you tried flashing the stock ICS ruu? Not sure whether your CDMA or gsm.
Just checked the link there and its working now. I'm not sure what I did but after reflashing disarmed toaster (for like the 10th time) it seems to have done the trick. No problems with signal anymore.
I would still like to know what caused it for future reference though. And I'm gsm
