My internet won't work. My carrier is Iwireless I've never had issues with it. I put this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531135 rom on my phone and afterwards the internet stopped work. I flashed back to stock and the internet still doesn't work.
So earlier I odin my Samsung vibrant back to stock, Thing is I forgot to take my sim and my SD card out... It still worked and I still get service I can text make phone calls and all that. For about an hour or so afterwards my internet worked just fine. Now it doesn't work at all. I'm not sure if this was because of odin back to stock while leaving my sim in or not.. Any help would be appreciated.

if your sim card was damaged youd have more issues i think, it seems like a software problem what id do is do a full odin back to jfd and try out different modems, you may also have to set your APN's manually which can be a pain in the arse but could be the source of your issues, check your apn settings to be sure.
also seems to be a problem ongoing and being discussed in the thread you linked to, it may be helpful to read through it.

Thank you for replying, I have done a full odin back to JFD and it doesn't seem to help, I've also set my APN manually and I know its 100% correct. Still can't seem to figure out why I'm not getting an internet connected. I'm doing a full ODIN again back to JFD. But its most likely not going to change anything.
just an fyi for the future, expecting answers and giving the attitude you were before is not gonna grant you alot of help on these forums generally speaking if you are having an issue with a specific rom its best to ask in that thread and if you ask politely you are more likely to get someone who is receptive and willing to help you.
There was no attitude? At all.. If you took it that way I'm not sure what to tell you.

Pretty sure he was referring to this. But yes, it is better to ask in the ROM thread and then if many people are having the same problem it can be worked out there.
No worries though.
One thing. When you put in your APNs did you hit save? I have done that a few times and facepalm each time I forget.
There is an app in the market called APN backup/restore that I have used many times. Something is breaking your connection for some reason. I'll work on it later tonight. Let us know is Odin solves it though.
That doesn't seem like I had an attitude, I just figured someone else would of have the issue. I've posted in the rom thread as well, and no odin didn't solve the issue. From reading in the rom thread it sounds like a modem issue but I have no idea how to go about fixing it. Anyway thanks for taking your time to look into this problem for me. I appreciate it. I also made sure to check the apn, its saved and 100% correct
iwireless APN
If u don't mind me asking, what APN settings are u using? I have iwireless w/ a Vibrant as well and can't get my MMS & data fully working. I have the unlimited monthly plan not Megatalk.
Did you pay the data portion of your bill?
Yes I have.. I'm not dumb thanks. I've also posted in the Rom developers thread and he wont even respond to me. No one seems to want to help, everyone says flashing another Kernal fixes the issue but It hasn't fixed it for me. I still have no data and my data worked just fine before flashing his rom.

Hi There People,
I'm sorry if this issue was already solved in another thread, I just couldn't find it. =/
I've gotten an ATRIX MB680 that is not connecting callings. I've seen that some other users have had this same problem and solved it, however I wasn't successfull in solving it myself. I've turned it to stock Gingerbread ROM, changed radios but NOTHING so far. I REALLY need this phone working ASAP. Does anyone know how to and if this issue is solvable? =/
Anyways, thank youbso much for the help.
Aquele Abraço...

First thing I would maybe try is getting a new sim card. I get people come into rogers all the time with "sos" signal. We change the sim and bingo.
See if that works

After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.
Status 7 means you need to update you recovery

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.

Hey guys I have a quick question. I've done some searching and am not sure about this. I bought a evo 3d from a friend of mine. It was a sprint phone that is now on frawg. Last week the internet and everything worked fine. I activated it under my number this week and now the internet no longer works. It just says no connection when you try anything internet related if you are not on WiFi. I called frawg and they said it was the flash coming out. Is this something I can fix myself or do I really have to pay these guys $50 to fix the flash.
Come on guys somebody's gotta know about this.I've been googling but don't really understand what I need

Going to need more info before anyone can attempt to help. What exactly was flashed (ROM, radios, etc)? Where did the content that was flashed come from, along with a link to it. No one can help without being able to see what it is.
That being said, a flash doesn't "come out."
Your friend should be able to help you or have the info. Maybe paying the $50 to have frawg fix it would be best as it seems you aren't familiar with flashing.
It is running the stock rom 4.0.3. As far as I know the ntelos radio and prl were flashed by an employee at the ntelos store. He has tried to take it up there for me but she took a few days off this week. I know a little bit about flashing ROMs but I don't know if this is like a ROM or completely different.
So is this something I can do myself?
It is if you have the radios and prl to flash
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Can those be found on line? Apparently the person that flashed it does not work there anymore or they just don't want to fix it. It looks like I'm stuck fixing it my self

If it worked before you activated it on your account and you didn't change the phone (flash new rom or RUU) then it isn't the phone. Like I said before, a flash doesn't "come out" like they told you. Flashing the radios over again won't fix it. To me it sounds like it's service related, and only frawg can do something about it. They need to reprovision your phone from their end. The only other thing to check is the network setting on your phone and make sure that mobile data is enabled.
No I haven't tried to flash a Rom or anything on the phone. I also do not receive voicemail notifications. I have talked to a few people at their customer service and in the store and they all say the same thing. ill try to call after work about what you said. Mobile network was enabled but it does. Not connect.
Firstly, I'm not a noob.
Secondly, I've even opened the phone to see if there is anything loose.. I used to repair phones, and hardware wise everything looks fine. Plus, the issue can happen while the phone is just sitting there, it isn't caused by the phone being moved that I can tell.
So I might suddenly have a voicemail show up, because my phone didn't have signal. Or if I call out, it never gives an error of any kind, it just doesn't ring.. same idea with text, sometimes they just come in all at once.
But the whole time, it SHOWS I have signal. If I search for networks(Settings>more>networks>available networks) when I have no issues, it searches, and shows US or AT&T(which is odd since I have tmobile, but whatever).. if I do this while I AM having the issue - it doesn't search, and nothing shows. Hitting search doesn't do anything.
If I put into airplane mode and take it back out, it will show no signal until the problem goes away. Restarting the phone doesn't appear to solve the issue.
I'm at a total loss here. I've searched - a LOT. This is kind of a hard issue to search for, haven't seen anyone else describe something similar.. so I am just throwing this out here, hoping someone might have some thoughts?

I clearly said that I can receive calls and texts.. just not all the time. I had a problem with my EFS a long time ago, but was able to fix it, my IMEI is good, and I can't see any issue in my phone information(including serial, etc). As I said, this is an intermittent problem- right now I would say the issue only happens 20% of the time, maybe less.
It isn't often, but I have had multi-hour phone calls, and none have ever been disconnected by this issue, tho I feel like if I wasn't on the phone the issue would have happened at some point..
Let me point out that this has been going on over two months - in that time I have used stock roms, slim roms, every rom and android version from 4.1-4.4 and many kernels - none seemed to remotely effect the issue.
Is there a possibility of some strange modem thing? My friend has the us variant of the s3, and he has read that he can't downgrade his modem.. so I've avoided using any early modems just in case.. our phone seems to have less and less updated threads for things like modems.

Actually, you can change your modem, but if you went to the 4.3 version of touchwiz, try using other modem from another 4.3 tw, you can give a try, but dont use a 4.1 or 4.2 modem, just a 4.3 modem, (efs2)

I think that was when I had my original efs issue - I was unaware about not going down below 4.3 again- but like I said, that was fixed. Or at least I think it was.
Is there a process to going to efs1 type partition? Perhaps if I properly go back to the original type.. and then upgrade properly(all after backing up my EFS of course..)
I guess the real issue is- could this be related to my problem AT ALL? I mean I get reception most of the time(guessing80%+), and it doesn't even show a signal loss when I can't find a network operator by manually searching!
I guess another thing that has me curious - it shows US or AT&T as the network operators, even tho I am on tmobile(not even pre-paid or anything).. if I select US it works, if I select automatic, it works, if I select AT&T it says your sim card doesn't allow you to register on this network..?
I'm just at a loss, because it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.. I'm actually on the phone with tmobile at the moment trying to see if MAYBE it is something on their side, how they have me registered on the network.. something!

Bro like the said says "Once you go black, you never go back" lol jk, i read somewhere that once you go efs2 is difficult to go to efs1 you will face "UNKNOWN NETWORK", the only thing you left to do is, restore to stock tmobile, root, use triangle away, unroot, flash again stock, and go to your network operator and tell them what problem you have, i think it my be a problem with the network problem idk more, im out of ideas, you should try that. thanks for reading

So you're sure you were having an issue just like mine? I've read dozens and dozens of threads for tons of samsung devices.. I recall one of them talking about patched modems - any chance you can post the link or even upload a flashable? If this turns out to be a fix.. you will be a god among men!

Yeah more or less what you were facing. Internittent network drops.
Dropbox link for patched MG4
Let me know if it worked out.
PS: If that doesn't work, then you can also try a modem for your region. Currently using NA8 right now and no issues shifting between stock 4.3 and KK Roms

I'll definitely give it a try.. where is the source you found it from, how did you figure it out? I found this emergency zip uploaded by justarchi that looks like a patched modem.. is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15
Otherwise, for curiosities sake, if you figured this out(and it does fix my issue), I am QUITE curious how you figured it out!

I'll definitely give it a try.. where is the source you found it from, how did you figure it out? I found this emergency zip uploaded by justarchi that looks like a patched modem.. is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15

I found it on xda long ago. But since it took ages to find the link, I bookmarked the link so I could post without having to spend hours scouring threads for it. It was originally in the modem/baseband thread.
AFAIK, JustArchi was referring to old modems no longer working with stock 4.3 firmwares and the resulting corrupted IMEIs when you use old modems or tried to go back to 4.1.2.
This post on my thread recommended patched MK6 kernel + patched MK6 modem.
But I went with just patched MG4 and worked. The issue at that time was no network, but I've been able to resolve network drops with patched modem.
This is just my experience though.
Before you flash the modem, make a backup in PhilZ Recovery first. Backup efs and modem both.
Hello guys. I bought a second hand Note 8 from a classmate a week ago. It was at a good price so I went for it. The internet was not working properly in it, it would just stop working for around 20 seconds and then start working again, i thought it might be because of the rain or something but after using it for 4 days I thought something was fishy. I put my sim into another phone and Internet worked perfectly good and normal, i put in different sim cards into my note 8 but the internet issue remained. In the settings it showed N950F. I put in it Download mode and noticed that its not N950F, Its N950N, I googled it and it turned out to be a korean model. I did deeper digging and found out its been converted to dual sim N950F by flashing a Custom rom. I told him all this and asked my money back to which he told me he spent it all. Now i'm stuck with this phone. I feel like i have wasted my hard earned money. I searched online found videos on youtube but i did not try them fearing my note 8 may get hard bricked or worse. Now i am not sure if it is a hardware issue or a bug in the custom rom, I am just assuming it's because of the custom rom. Please help me out. It's a korean model Note 8 256gb. If there's a way where i can keep the dual sim funtionality and get my internet issues fixed, I would love that, if that's not possible, then just fixing the internet issues would be much appreciated too. Thank you very much.

Have you tried checking to see if the APN settings are correct for your sim? That could fix it.
You could just flash stock filmware for the device, which can be found on "Sammobile" or "Updato" but would obviously return it back to single sim.

Yes I tried the APN settings, there was nothing wrong there.
The problem is, flashing the original stock rom might restrict my network connections to Korea only. It might not have other languages as well. If you have any other suggestions please tell me, if you know someone who might, kindly mention him.
Thank you for replying.

I wish I knew other suggestions to offer, but I am limited in my knowledge, especially with issues like this. Not something I have encountered before. I can't find an answer on Google to see if you would be okay using your sim on the Korean variant.
Hopefully someone more knowledge will answer, if you don't get a reply, just keep bumping the thread.

Thank you. Yes I'll keep bumping it.
I had a problem with data and MMS not working. It's silly but make sure with your APN type is "default,dun,supl,mms". Mine was blank and wouldn't work without putting that in.
Good luck.

Thanks, I'll try that.
I would take your device to the high street branch of your Service Provider and let them take a look at it. It is probably the Network Settings which need to be configured on your device.

I tried that. It didn't work. I Flashed a different Custom ROM, the problem still remained. I'll flash stock ROM and see what happens.
