Okay, I live in Grand Rapids area if that makes any difference. But everything was running fine and dandy on BAMF stripped 2.1. Then, yesterday, my data cut out completely. Wouldn't come back with a reboot, multiple toggles from data on/off, battery pull, nothing worked. So I decided I'd switch ROMS to Gingertheory 4.5. That worked for a little bit, but then it cut out again. So then I switched from the MR2 radio to MR2.5. That also worked for a little bit, but now it's cut out again. I feel like it might be a hardware issue... I don't know what to do!! Heeelllllppppppppp!!!

Try removing the SIM card and putting back in, or (as in my case) the SIM card had gone bad and needed to be replaced at the Verizon store.

Try *228 and update your PRL. if that doesn't work. ..
Try installing a Froyo Rom.. (I would recommend MR2 Froyo 1.66 plainjane by Jcase).
See if that works.. Data issues are usually radio/sim card etc.. more than ROM.. but it could be ROM too..

Well, I guess you were right. While all my friends had data, I did not. It came back today...
My SIM died on me this morning. I was basically sitting in the shadow of a tower and could not get data, even though i had full bars, until i switched to CDMA only mode. Stopped by the vzw store after work, tested my SIM in another TB, did the same thing, 10 minutes later I was leaving with a new SIM and working 3G

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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this problem. I should be having full 3G all the time where I am right now, but my phone will sometimes switch to "1X" and then once i load something data it switches back to 3G, but just gets kind of annoying to see. It has loaded the 1X also, it doesn't always switch back to the 3G immediately.
This has been going on for a while, and I have done a ESN swap with another smartphone but it still does it.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Oh, and I am not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but sometimes when i reboot my phone my 3G icon just DOESN'T APPEAR AT ALL, so i have to power down and back up. Is this normal? I am on MIUI 1.7.29, and it has done it on other previous roms before. Just GETS ANNOYING.
Try to Turn Off The Phone. Then Leave It Off For 5minutes.
If That Doesn't Work Try To Do A Factory Reset Or Re-install Your Rom (If your using one)
Hate to say it, but I've had my phone since last November and it has always done this. The radio in our phones doesn't do such a good job of grabbing signal. I can have full bars 3G one second and no bars 1x the next. No combination of Roms/Kernels/Radios or ESN swaps have ever fixed this for me. I have just learned to accept it and deal with it. You can try to bring this up with Verizon and they might send you a new one, but it will likely have more problems. Sorry to be a downer but that's just how it is.

my recomendation is:
- flash the ec09 modem via odin( the ec09 modem is NOT the problem for borked sd cards)
- boot phone
-*228 option 2

So I flashed the EC09 radio that you recommended and did the *228 option 2 and it said successful, then I did a power down, power up, and my 3G disappeared;/ , so i powered down, powered up again and the 3G was back, so far it has been decent, but in my house I had the 1x locked for a good 30 seconds before switching back to 3G, on the ED01 radio it would normally switch back faster than that. so I don't think it worked :/,
any other options?? (or should I try to get Verizon to send me a new phone?)
I have had my thunderbolt now for over a year, everything has been smooth until now. I have 3g and 4g according to my phone but the actual internet does not work. So I am assuming it is receiving no data. The only time internet works on my phone is when I am connected to wifi. Obviously this can be very annoying.

You may well need a new Sim from Verizon if none of that helps.

See how that does then I suppose.
Or you can try the newest radios if you want.
You may possibly be due for a new Sim card.
They tend to wear out after a while and sometimes a new one fixes these types of issues.

That link should be the all in one .zip.
If it wasn't, you'd have to do them separately.
Don't forget to rename them after flashing, so you don't have troubles booting to recovery later on.
So I click on the LTE link. And then once I flash it I am good? Sorry, just want to make sure, and not brick. Will remove once I am done, don't like to rename. Still scares me!

Hopefully your reception gets better as well.
If it continues to show poor signal, do check with Verizon for a new Sim card.
Being rooted doesn't matter. They don't need to see the phone even.
But make sure they do activate it. Either then or over another phone.
Easier done at the store though.

If you have tried all the settings I suggested on the last page and also tried a new sim and still have issues,
it's either your phone, or Verizon to blame most likely.
So if you haven't tried adjusting your settings like I mentioned on the last page, try that.
Also, it's worth trying the ##778 modem tweak in THIS THREAD as well.

Is there anyway to do the modem tweak on a cm7 rom? ##778 just connects a call, I've installed the apk and same issue. Would it work if I just installed the stock dialer?
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.
