I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out here (as I can't post to the development thread). I flashed BAMF 3.0 RC2 this morning, and now I can only get a 1x signal. I was on the MR2.5 radio when I flashed the ROM, but read that the MR2 radio was recommended. So, I switched over to the MR2, but am having the same trouble. I can only get a 1x signal.
I triple wiped before flashing 3.0, coming from BAMF 2.x.
Really not sure what else to try at this point. I haven't come across anyone having a similar issue with the ROM.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some insight or suggestions.

Re-download The MR2, check the md5, and then reflash through hboot.
First a baseline stupid question ... you have the back cover on?
Second ... Have you tried to get into Das Bamf Toolkit > LTE Settings and changing network to CDMA only & then back?
I had a similar issue this morning as well. I was getting a 1x signal after flashing the ROM. But everything worked out...I'm on the 2.4 radio with the 3.3.3 lean kernel...
switched between 3g / 4g fine and have WiFi on while at home.

Thanks for the responses. I really appreciate the help.
1. I do have the back cover on, but I'm curious why you ask. Is there a known problem with the radio not working when the battery cover is off?
2. I cycled the radio settings, as you suggested, and this seemed to have worked. Probably should have thought of this myself, but I've been on nearly every one of the BAMF roms and haven't had a similar problem.
Again, thanks very much for your willingness to help out. Cheers!

Leaving back cover off has been known to be issue as it is an extention of the antenna

Ok... I'm fairly new to ROMs... but I've loaded Das BAMF 2.1, and Das BAMF 3.0 RC3 and recently RC4... first used MR2.5, but during an attempt to load CM7 RC1.1 I got no radio... so I loaded MR2... but still no Radio. And of course went back to Das BAMF 3.0. I found MR2 to work better for me.
I attempted to reload CM7 again. Double checked the MD5 Sum. Then did the following:
Wipe device, wiped Cache, wiped Dalvik cache.
Installed CM7 RC1.1, installed GAPPS
Booted up... no radio... let it sit for 10 minutes... no radio
Reloaded MR2 radio... booted up... let it sit again... no radio... I get maybe 2 bars, but no LTE/3G or any data.
I'm stumped... I'm back up on Das BAMF 3.0 RC4 with MR2 radio, full LTE and 5 of 6 bars at home.
Any suggestions for getting CM7 to work.... PLEASE!!!!
When you had no data after flashing the CM7 (MR2+ version since that's your radio) did you try going to Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks and switching to CDMA/EVDO Auto? I would have done that first. Might get it working for you. You can switch back to LTE after you get a signal (if you do).

A good suggestion. Also make sure your back cover is always on as it finishes the antenna's circuit If neither of these things fix the issue, I'll help you dig deeper into it.

I will give this a try tonight... yes, it's the MR2+ version of CM7 RC1.1.
And yes, I have a tight fit on the battery cover... I've only taken the battery cover off twice (first when I got the device and second to pull the SD Card temporarily)... I get great signal strength with my current ROM and the same radio - MR2.
I'll report back tonight.
I downloaded RC1.2 and did the same thing I did above... and it worked... no issues except I'm only showing one bar... looks like I've got some reading to do.
If you know anything about the one bar I'd like to know... this is at work where I usually see 3 or 4 bars.
CM7 will show lesser bars than any sense ROM. It doesnt make a difference in signal strength or connectivity.

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.
Hello, sorry if this has been posted somewhere before but I could not find anything and the 84 page thread in the development section was simply to much to go through.
I recently put bamf stripped 2.1 on my thunderbolt, loved the rom but some problems with the gingerbread leak it was based on made it so that I can't really rely on it. Slow charging problems, voice mail notifications dont work, can't mount as usb drive, and other things.
So per a suggestion from someone on bamf's forums I'm trying out 1.8 that is supposed to have most of these issues fixed. While I haven't been able to test all of these issues yet I've already ran into a very important one that I would need fixed before going any further.
3G and 4G data connections are extremely unreliable. I haven't seen it go into 4G even though I'm in an area with 4G coverage at all, and it randomly drops 3G coverage completely, sometimes dropping only to 1X.
I've tried both MR1 radio and a radio flagged as Shipped and both experience this problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? There isn't really any reason for me to go through the trouble of setting up my preferences on this ROM if something as important as the data connection isn't working properly in it.
Thanks!
Nevermind I just figured out my problem.
Battery Cover off = crappy data signal since the antenna is built into the battery cover.
Oops, lesson learned =p

Hey guys,
I've been working all night to try and fix an issue I had with Cyanogen Mod. I couldn't get the GPS to work with the radio I had. So I tried flashing MR3 and I still had no GPS but had 3G / 4G / WiFi connectivity. Going back to MR2 restored GPS but I couldn't maintain data and only had 1X / WiFi.
I've messed with countless radio updates and ROMs trying to get this running again. Going to post my phone's stats:
ROM Current: BAMF Forever 1.0.5
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 2.11.605.0
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-ge8d3693 [email protected]
Baseband version: 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
I need you guys to link me to a ROM, the more light weight the better, that has 3G / 4G, GPS, and WiFi (with tethering). That's all I require =)
If I need a specific radio, a link to that would be great. Thanks a lot.
It's not the ROM...
VZW's LTE is spotty in and out in some areas. I noticed mine first thing this morning...
There are other threads on other forums about it.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/psa-verizon-users-reporting-data-outages-across-the-us/
I laugh at how they state that 3G is working fine, while LTE isnt.
I can hardly even get 1x again.
Word is if you make a phone call you can get 3g back afterwards. Worked on the wife's bolt. Worth a shot at least

I have 3G just fine here. I don't get 4G service at this location so I force it to "CDMA Auto (PRL)" anyway.

I think you're right unfortunately. I wait 3 months to try and fix my GPS and the one night I try it, Verizon's entire data network is taking a crap.
I just assumed that the 1X was a radio issue. I now have 4G connectivity but it's definitely slower than it should be. About 1.4Mbps. My buddy right next to me clocked 10.4Mbps on his brand new Nexus...
I'd still love to get a recommendation on a ROM and Radio version to run. I hate this BAMF ROM.
Different ROMs and different radios will have minimal impact on 4g speeds, if that's your reason for wanting something different.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
LTE came back up in SE Michigan about 2 hours or so ago.
Upon reading the OP's next post, I tested my speed via the SpeakEasy Website's speed test, as I always do.
I don't know whether to **** or go blind, but inside my office just now I hit 22MB down and 4.5 up with 2 bars (out of 4)...I've never gotten more than 12 inside the office down...
Could be that no one is on it...could be a fluke, etc.
BAMF makes quality ROMs. I would bet it's not the ROM or the radio.
I've been using the latest radio leak found here in the developer thread.
I'm sure you already know this...but it's flashed in Bootloader, not recovery.
I'm almost 100% certain it's not the ROM...unless you got a bad download or something.
That being said...you are a few releases behind on their ROM. They are up to 1.10 Final now.
Good thing is there are a ton out there, it's what's best for you...not necessarily what we think.

You're right. My problem is there's too many and I'm tired of looking haha. I just wanted to flash a known good ROM and radio and get this over with. Tired of tampering with my phone.
New update:
I just flashed MIUI from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172235
and the MR3 radio from:
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...151-rs-approved-guide-thunderbolt-radios.html
It's clear from the screenshot provided on the MIUI thread that the dev is using the MR3 radio which is why I chose to flash that.
But now my GPS doesn't work? Holy crap this is getting so annoying. Either my GPS works or my 4G works, I can't have both -_-
I'm trying to get my post count up without spamming the boards so I can post in the development section ;x
EDIT: Just found this link:

Anyone know if it's true?
Are you sure your data/gps is not a phone issue?
Believe it or not I know a few people that replaced their battery door and data/gps was fixed. Antennas are on the door...
In regards to your question about that link, it may work but remember some solutions work for some and not for others. Only real way to know is to try it...

Holy crap this might be the problem. I just installed a longer life battery that has a new back cover for the phone. I'm going to go back to stock and see what happens.
Thanks for this recommendation!
Good evening. Has anyone experienced any success with the data drops with the new radio combo. I have tried the combo for several days. As long as I have 4G data is fine. As soon as the connection switches to 3G and back to 4G, I have to reset data connection by turning on/off airplane mode. If anyone had this issue and no longer experiencing it, please advise what steps were taken to resolve. I have also performed a Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik.
Thanks again in advance!

This is a common issue with the leak. I've heard good / bad things about the new radios (nothing that convinces me to change from default radio). You'll just have to wait for the official release of ICS on the Thunderbolt.

This happened to my fathers and my Tbolt. I reflashed the radios over the Rom. I used Jrockers .19 radios he posted on another site and it fixed the problems. I've been running the ICS leak now for a week or so as a Daily driver and I use data all day. All my work orders come via email and get closed out via email. I've had no problems after a day or so of tinkering to get everything to work.
Hope that helps you out.

What radios did you have before? Are Jrockers .19 radios different than the standard .19 radios? You're never dropping data, or just rarely? I agree, a link would be nice to share with the rest of us.
I found this but again no links to the radio's that aren't giving data drops.... anyone have any update on this?
