Heres's the problem. Last night i decided to go from Espresso Runnymede SIII back to stock to reflash the rom, due to some stupid glitches. Ive done this plenty of times with no problem but after following the guide to return to stock, i noticed that i had no service at all. I already tried dialing *228 and using both options 1 and 2. Option 1 says it was successful and option 2 will not work no matter how many times i try this. I have signal bar stregnth, but no 3g, 1x, etc... Ive also tried reflashing Espresso thinking it might have been a glitch with the stock rom. Also, i have tried reflashing the stock rom multiple times. Also, sorry if i posted this about an already made topic, ive seen a few similar ones but i didnt think that the threads accurately described my problem. At this point, any help would be appreciated, or else im going to have to go back to my crappy EnvTouch...
Easy enough. Turn off fascinate. Turn on envy touch dial *228 option 1 and activate it. Reboot. send a couple of texts and make a call. Turn off envy. Power on fascinate and redo the *228 option 1, reboot, *228 2, reboot. And you should get your data back.
good day.
that did it thanks so much! you sir, are a fascinate god!

So after rebooting about a week ago on BAMF Remix 1.7 (I think the ROM is irrelevant but just putting it in for information's sake), my 3g/mobile data stopped working. When I go into network settings, the Mobile network option is checked to connect to the internet and under APNs, there is a vzwinternet profile with a green (I'm guessing turned on?) marker.
I've tried various ROMS: BAMF, BAMF Remix, CM7, and even the Gingerbread variations of BAMF as well.
Also I've experimented with all of the radios (every one listed under the obligatory radio thread) and different kernels.
And lastly, I've wiped multiple times every time I've flashed a new ROM and have even formatted my SD card hoping it was some rogue application that disabled it.
So what can I do to bring back 3g/mobile data?
Note: Wifi, calls, and sms will works for me. MMS does not however.
I have the same problem but mine shows after rebooting, than say error when I try browser or anything that has to do with data, But works at times.
*WALK in the WORD*
Mine isn't working at all. Not even after rebooting.

How you checked with your Carrier? I'm with Orange UK and my 3g was down for 4 days once due to cell tower maintenance...
Might be worth a call to check!?

I suppose that would be the logical thing to do next before I start torching my Thunderbolt.
Thanks!

I almost did exactly the same!

This happened to me, exactly as you've stated. I posted here but got no remedy. I tried all the things you've mentioned, reflashing the ROM, raeflashing the radio, etc. Nothing helped.
Finally, I had the idea to restore a recent backup from before I had the problem. THAT worked. I hope it helps you too.
I didn't have a chance to call during the day but I did head over to my friend's house who lives in a different area. She has VZW just as me and she was getting 3G on her blackberry but 3G/mobile data was still unavailable for me.
It's not a coverage issue but on my end.
While lurking around the mobile data settings, there was a profile for VZW under APN settings. Could someone post theirs so I could see if they match with mine? Maybe that's the solution to my problem?
I don't think it's rom dependent. I lost 4g the other day and I have yet to get it back. I have my own theories but the jerk at the VZW store wouldn't let me try my theory. I'm waiting for my usual rep to comeback, she lets me try just about anything I want. The rest are just dicks. I have tried swapping roms, radios, and all but going back stock to fix it. And nothing has brought it back. BTW, have you tried CDMA prl to see if you can get data at all? I can get 3g that way, but when I go into evdo/lte or lte only I lost all data. Also, do you have it in rev A mode under your modem settings?
I had this exact same problem with BAMF remix 1.6.3, to make this story short this is how it eventually got fixed:
Go into settings and do a check for new software.
This will force 3g to cut on. (Note: it may take a few times for the 3g to come on and STAY ON. It took me almost a day doing it about every hour.
Enjoy
Holy crap, that worked. Of all the things I tried and I couldn't get anything. Now LTE is back. You're awesome.

I have to go to work right now but yes it is turning on 3G at the moment but it's only using the up arrow (eg. uploading data but not downloading data). I"m guessing with a couple of more tries it'll eventually lock in.
If this doesn't work on gingerbread, I'll try reverting back to froyo and try it then as well.

Glad I could help.. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with Tier II support and they guy said.. well this is a long shot but try this. Didnt work the first time I tried it so he sent me a new phone but in the time it took to get the new phone, I kept trying and it finally locked in.
Ok, well I thought it worked. Every time I try it, it will give me the 4gLTE indicator, but if I open up anything that uses data it just says no mobile conectivity then after about 5-6 min it stops showing any data. Also, I can still go back to CDMA(PRL) and get 3g. It's just under 4GLTE/evdo and lte only.
BTW, for any other future reference, I started experiencing these issues right after I debloated (uninstalled) the blockbuster app.

keep trying... it will stick eventually
It's alright, I have a replacement coming tuesday. I just have to return to stock before then.
When you guys went to the software update option, during that duration when it was enabled were both 3G arrows animated? I'm only getting an up arrow (uploading).
I've been trying now for hours on the PRL setting and also cdma+lte/evdo auto
Well, I haven't been able to get this to work. Is there anything else I should try besides the software update trick before returning my phone to stock and returning it to VZ?
i had the same problem as you OP, but after pressing check new enough times and jumping straight into the browser, i got it to stick. took at least 12 tries, however and i'll see if it lasts.
love the franklin avatar btw!
also, is anyone using juice defender? idk if its coincidence or not, but i d/l the program last night and this is the first data connectivity problem i've had with the tbolt.
Yes, I had both arrows. But, for some reason when I would open the browser to google it wouldn't work. I tried about 4 times, each time it would show data, but I wouldn't have a connection. Also, it would show data being up and down stream, but I couldn't manage to get it to work when I tried it.
hey all,
i was running CM 7.1 with the glitch kernel but decided i wanted to try out a few other roms from the community
i ODINd back to stock following the tutorials and i flashed PWGB, however now my data connection does not work no matter what rom i run, including stock
wifi works, calls and texts work, but i can not get a data connection over 3g
i tried *228 option 1 and 2, and i even spoke with a verizon rep
im completely stumped right now
right now im running CM7.1 with the stock kernel and modem, sometimes the 3G icon pops up, but most of the time it does not
when trying to bring up a website, like XDA a popup message tells me that i have no internet connection
i appreciate all the help, as i am completely stumped at what to do at this point
Hopefully you have another smart phone like this chap did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330279 If not call vzw and beg them to reset your data keys.
good day.

Hi guys...I followed the guide for rooting and long story short before I rooted I had 4g with 5 bars....but now (I believe after the one click root) I must have did something wrong...because now i'm on 3g or 1x with showing no bars or one bar. Unless I am having some extreme bad luck with verizon's network....but I don't think so...I've never not had 3 or more bars at least, ever.
I am on Chingy's Ineffablilis, but I know its not the rom. I have for the last 2 hours been searching to find an answer but no luck, I never had this issue before, and been rooting since the OG Droid.
Some searches points me maybe its the baseband?
All I would like to do is put every back to stock....and start over...but can't even get a clear answer on how to do that on the rezound
It's been suggested to uninstall superuser....and do the factory reset.....but when I clicked on factory reset in bootloader...it just booted me into clockwork recovery.
Could really use some help here..
Thanks if you can.
Update: Wow.....just wow.....didn't know the antennas WERE IN the battery door....you can all just shoot me now. I'll leave this open for others that may come across this issue.
Lol, glad you found the issue.
I'm Sure We All Will Do That At Least Once.
So this morning when I took my phone off the charger, it shut off immediately. Pulled batter and put it back in multiple times, and it still wouldnt boot. Battery was fine cause it worked in another Note 2. I wiped the contacts that connect to the battery, and then it powered on. Thought it was very strange since it was working just fine the night before. Upon power up, I couldnt make or receive phone calls, couldnt make or receive texts. Really have no idea whats happening!! I've tried flashing several different roms and all react the same. The signal just bounces around and sometimes even goes out (circle with line through it). My IMEI and number still show up just fine in "About Phone".
I'm very confused, because this seems to have happened randomly! I didnt do anything but charge it overnight. I've tried flashing the modem that scott has posted. Any ideas? Should I just try and ODIN back to stock?
try sim in a diff phone?

I was going to try that next. Just didnt know if this was a problem that anyone else has encountered. I will report back very shortly.
Hmm, what the hell. Sim works just fine in another Note 2.
I hate to be the one to do this to you but..... This is the wrong section for this question. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982827 . But anyhow, have you tried switching modems/radios?
Try to put it back to bone stock using the full wipe Odin image from here. Of this doesn't fix it then is probably hardware so take it to Verizon.

By the way I went ahead and reported this to get it moved to right section. So Kenny glass will be along shortly with his cool new avatar to move it.

No problem. Wasn't really sure, now I know. I'm in the process of restoring to stock. Hopefully it works!
Well turns out it may have been a hardware problem! Restored to stock, and I still had the same problem. No 3G, couldnt call or text. But I did have a 4G signal that worked, plus I could receive texts. So strange! Took it to Verizon and between the store rep and tech support, they couldnt figure it out. So they're sending me another tomorrow. In case anyone was curious...
Well, just an update to my saga, in case anyone cares!! My second replacement came this morning. Upon putting my battery and sim card in, it booted up. Was going through the setup process when i just shut off. Took me about 10 min or so to get it to power on again. When it finally booted up, I had the same problem I had originally, 3G and talk/text doesnt work. Also had the faint smell of electronics burning up. My first though was my battery is frying the radios. But why wouldnt it do the same in my original phone that had the proximity sensor problem?!!
I'm ready to move on from the Note 2, Ive had nothing by problems with Samsung hardware being faulty for me.
I am hoping someone can help me with this problem I have read a lot of threads but none of them have any real solution.
My Verizon Samsung Fascinate 3G icon keeps disappearing and after 5-10 minutes comes back for maybe 1-2 minutes before it disappears again. it keeps doing this all day.
I have done these to see if it make any difference but no luck same thing happens.
1. I have pull out the battery for a while and put it back ( Noting Change )
2. I have restore back to stock roms ( Noting Change )
3. I have updated the radio and modem ( Noting Change )
4. I have called *228 and updated the PRL ( Noting Change )
If someone can please help me with this I really would amazing
Thanks
Again my 3G icon comes and goes every few minutes. when the 3G icon is gone my phone shows that is trying to connect to network (network mobile state: connecting)

has your phone been activated and used to make any calls?
when you say "restore back to stock roms" you're talking about version 2.3.5 with EH03 radio correct?
which custom ROM were/are you trying to run?
.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes my phone have been activated and was working fine till last week. I can still make calls anytime with no problems.
Yes I have restore back to and tried EH03, ED05 and EC09 and none of them fixes the 3G problem.
I was using geewiz-2.9.2 rom for the past year and had no problems but all of the sudden this happened

well at this point I don't know what else to say geewiz or stock should not have the issues you describe, could just be Verizon issue with signal in your area,,, I have seen mine struggle at different times of the year for no apparent reason at all...
EH03 should give the best reception but I remember running the others at different times too but not in the last year+
check this site and see if they report issues in your area

these are not that hard to pop apart to inspect it out...
