You need to be rooted. Edit all occurences of build.prop entries "ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_LOCK=1" and "ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_HIDE=1" to reflect "ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_LOCK=0" and "ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_HIDE=0" save and reboot.

One way I got around it was via the APN Backup and Restore tool - this does need a backup from an earlier ROM to work, but after that you can use it to delete the APN's and restore the correct ones. It does NOT need root access either.

Quick questions

I'm wondering if you just install a custom ROM on top of it or is there any procedures? I'm using kwbr and looking to switch to VBNROM. I searched but couldn't find an answer.
Also, how do you change APN in WM?

You can install on top of other ROMS but they just remove the previous version
I would go for Task29 before change ROMS. It removes all software and leave you with a blanc phone
Then install a new ROM. This way your sure of a ROM that didnt got mixed up with wrong settings
About the APN just do a forum search .. there are threats explaining wich apn to use

[Q] Mobile Data Not Working After Update

Hey guyz my s2 mobile data not working after updating to ics 4.0.3....plz help
I have the same issue.. with noticing that it was working before but when i changed the ROM it's not anymore ..
Have you tried entering your apn settings manually? Go to mobile networks under wireless and network in settings, click acess point names (I have GB on mine, but should be similar on how to get there on ICS) and enter the apn settings of your carrier manually. (Google apn settings "your carrier")
You have not updated you have flashed a leaked beta buggy test rom .
Check your network settings check your modem .

I think the best thing to do is ignore the answer in post #3, and also ignore the 2100+ posts in other threads dealing with ICS ROMs.
Ah, you've already done that. My bad.
I'm goin' to get back to GB and get the APN's then copy them and install them on ICS hope this works ...

Uh, did you read my post? Just google the apn settings. "apn settings XXX", where XXX is your carrier. No need to revert back to GB.

This isn't a how to get data to work thread, i have a problem with the data connection so it's not a question and i dont think i need to put in the Q&A section, though you may have your own opinion.
Purchased for the USA and carrier unlocked and brought to India. I've tried 2 different indian service providers, Reliance and Vodafone, and on both the voice and txt works but no data..the 'E' symbol is there but no Upload and download arrows...

Something is not working...you are asking for help ("Any help on this?")...sure seems like a Q&A thread candidate to me....
If changing the APN setting doesn't work, you probably need to flash a different radio. If I remember correctly, the 36p and 100r work pretty good in India. Radios can be found at the link below.

Well, sure, sorry for that then
Ok, i saw the files, got this : http://samcripp.com/files/ downloaded the asia_retail26aug file...
Question : Says CWM flashable, but the phone is brand new with a locked bootloader and NO root. So can i still flash CWM Recovery and then flash this file?
Before you can do any kind of flashing you need to unlock your bootloeader and install some sort of custom recovery. Rooting is irrelevant.

Well maybe you could help me on that too as i saw a WARNING thread in the dev section regarding the 4.5.141 version saying the device can get hard bricked..
I have at&t atrix running on stock 4.5.141 and data on vadafone works fine in mumbai
So if your phone is with stock at&t rom ideally it should work
But still if you are going to flash radios
then first root the device then unlock bootloader and install cwm - guide is in same forum
And keep a nandroid backup of your stock setup just in case you need it !
All the best

no i am not sure...
I'm guessing you weren't reading everything in whatever thread you downloaded from and flashed a ROM for another carrier. What ROM did you flash? And you did make a backup before you flashed it, right?

If you made a backup you should restore and see if that fixes the issue. If you havent made a backup od your efs you're going to have to find qpst tool and manually restore your imei. If im wrong for posting about qpst then im sorry to xda and the moderators. But you'll need to t research the software and the proper numbers to dial for modifying your info. Your imei is located beneath the battery so go ahead and write it down if you don't have a backup

[Q] Please help me out ASAP

Hi,
So I downloaded this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-revolutionary-s5-v3-buy-s5-t2602543 " ROM and everything seems well until I noticed that there is no signal. SIM Card is not being read by the ROM. I am new to the modding scene and I'd like a clear explanation on how I could fix this problem.
I have a International GT-I9300.
Do you have a valid IMEI? From which ROM did you come from?

I don't know what an IMEI is, but I firstly came from a normal rooted 4.1.2 firmware. It was a stock FW. But now, I use a " aokp_i9300_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-14 ". I'm switching around ROMs to experiment, and I seem to love the S5 ROM except that the mobile network won't work.
I've seen this as a solution ""If you don't have reception (no signal), here's a quick explanation: THANKS TO S0ul_
It means you flashed a new modem over the MG4 one. It's not a bug, that's because Samsung has changed the format of the EFS partition with the MG4 baseband and now the older modems (MC2, etc) can't read the IMEI from the EFS, hence the failure to register your phone in your carrier's network.
To fix this issue you need only to install MG4 modem from aroma installer"
But I do not know how to apply it on my phone.
bump.

You had to backup your EFS partition/folder before, try to search in sdcard if there is folder or file like efs_backup, efs.bak, efs.zip, efs.tar.gz etc maybe aroma did it.

Stop to flash any other rom. first try to search for that file or folder because the first rom you installed uses AROMA and MAYBE it did a efs backup, otherwise try to flash a pre MG4 modem to fix signal.

Don't flash or do anything else like restore an efs back until you guve more info.
You have not answered my question above. Is it only mobile internet you have issues with? Can you still use wifi, make calls, receive calls, send and receive texts? If you can do all of that your efs should be fine and it points to apn issues which can get mixed up when flashing roms.
@raksati
You need to read up on efs thread before giving such info, flashing a pre mg4 modem will solve nothing as it can only read efs V1, if he has indeed corrupted the efs then nothing will be able to read it.
What I think you ment was flash mg4 or above which can read V2 but this is only required if using 4.1.2 or an early 4.3 which no one should be using these days.
