Just got my new atrix all sorted out as far as unlock BL install CWM and Jokersax CM9 ROM. However, once booted into the ROM I have no signal whatsoever. Phone was initially locked to BELL so i inserted Rogers SIM to attempt unlock (after installing custom ROM) and nothing happens. Go into APN and there is nothing. Attempt to manually enter APN, but it never saves??
Anyone have any thoughts? Similar issues for others with this ROM or is it something else entirely?
Any help is appreciated.

I have an imei# because I used it to purchase an unlock code. Wondering maybe I'd I nerd to flash a radio?
Something about the phone was that there was only like 1gig available out of 10.89gig. So I formatted internal storage. Not sure if maybe I shouldn't have done that or not.
Anyway I'll start searching for how-to on radio flashing I suppose. Anyone point me in the right direction. Best radio for Canada etc.?

Im on the latest 0.6.0 I just put the previous version on a buddies Atrix and it works fine. Also from Bell. I should at least have signal for phone right? Also it is strange to me that the phone does not prompt me for an unlock code?? Is it because I flashed a custom ROM before unlocking? And it yes, how do I get around it?
Need some guidance here.

Well if you installed the previous version, you shouldn't get signals as joker forgot to add some stuff. Make sure your on 0.6 and not the previous version.
If that doesn't work out you can try flashing a radio or flash another rom.

So i am running R-9 2.3.4GB custom rom and iv'e flashed all the necessary zips but for some reason im only ever getting A+ with one bar and it never goes any higher unless its 2G. Im using mbr_d00 GB Kernel Version 0.1.3. I dunno what i should do next.
What radio are you using?
Errrm I flashed the French u4_2.1.1 before i flashed the custom rom. If thats not it could u point me in the right direction please
EDIT: Is Bell GB Radio the one i want?
Well, that depends on who your carrier is and, also, you could try to flash the radio after the custom ROM

That's France right? I'm not knowledgeable about which radio is needed but like I said previously, you could try flashing the radio after the flashing the ROM. Hopefully someone who knows more than me about it will chime in

EDIT: Everything sorted now found the radio which i needed to flash. MODS can close
I'm station in Guam and purchased At&T Galaxy S2 on E-bay. I used unlockedthatphone.com to unlocked the phone and rooted the phone using galaxts2root.com method. The problem that I'm having is that the phone is always roaming; if you go to settings,about phone, under status, it shows roaming when I know it's not. Is there a way I can make the phone think that it's not roaming?
version 2.3.4
base band I777UCPLC5
kernel version 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel
build number Gingerbread.UCKH7
Here in Guam I'm with DOCOMO PACIFIC
So u paid someone to unlock the phone. When there's an app that does it for free on the Android market? That does suck.

Bottom line is you used a different site to root your phone, we dont support that site here. why you no ask them whats up with thier stuff?

This was the reason I posted the question...GUIDANCE..THX MotoMudder77. The thing is that I was under the impression that the phone was on roaming status because it was made for AT&T and if used on any other network it will show roaming.
So, you want me to unroot the phone and lock it? How do I do that?
Could flash back to stock, might be necessary if you have issues with any of the
If you have clock work recovery, you could just flash a ROM that you find suitable for .
Full wipe in recovery. If you don't have recovery, you'll have to flash a Kernal with it, using Odin our heimdall.

So I unrooted the phone using 2a.) Flash the UCKH7-CL503881 stock kernel and system package using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659) and did a factory reset. The only thing I can't do is to lock the phone back to AT&T sim cards, so pretty much the phone still unlocked. I still have the same problem, every time I pop that DOCOMO SIM card in and look at the phone status, it still shows roaming when I know that's not the case.
Do you think if a change the modem/radio it will go away?

You dont want to re-lock the phone, if thats even possible.
but being that your on a stock at&t ROM, the fact that your on a different carrier than at&t, the phone probably just thinks its roaming.
You could try an international ROM, if you hellraise it, or grab a ported one from the ported dev section.

I was able to locked the phone with samsung galaxy unlock app from the market and unlocked it with the same app. You are right, because the phone is on a different carrier than at&t it thinks that is roaming when we know it's not. I flashed Shostock2 v2.2.6 w/cherrypicker v1.1 and I still get the roaming status. Schostock2 is a i9100 ICS base rom but that didn't work, don't get me wrong I'm loving Shostock2 it's just annoying having that r right next to the signal bars.
Well, I'm having a little problem. I installed JB in my galaxy, and I noticed I lost the unlock, after that, I restored EFS and unlocked again. Now, after unlocking (but not restarting) I had no problems, but as soon as I restart the phone, the unlock is gone. I am using AOKP JB from task650 with its default kernel
Thanks!

hmmm. interesting.
GS2 unlock is just a file edit IIRC. So the file is able to be edited, and sticks.. but after a restart it reverts back.
I've heard of a reasoning for this, not this exact problem, but stuff not sticking after reboot. Cant put my finger on it...

Well, I checked out the thread, I can unlock it when I'm on ICS, but when I flash to JB I loose the unlock. However, he unlocked on GB and then upgraded to ICS, I could try that out later but I dont't think it'll make any difference..
Thanks!
Have you checked the aokp jb thread to see if anyone is having a similar problem?
Also, did you try just calling AT&T for the unlock code? in my previous job i used to travel frequently. Every time i got a new phone i called at&t, explained that i travel abroad very often and needed to unlock my phone to use local carriers in the places i travelled to. The gave me the code every time with no problems. I would assume the unlock code they give you would work regardless of what rom you have installed?
I've flashed 99% of available roms and kernels and have never lost my unlock.

Hey guys Long time creeper first time poster.
Anyways i picked up a galaxy note yesterday that was bricked for about $175. The guy had soft bricked it recovery and download were still accessible so i simply used odin to reinstall stock rogers from Da_G's thread. The guy said he bricked it because he had a JB rom on there and wanted to go back to stock but odin froze and thats how the system bricked.
Anyways right now i have the system working and running Stock ICS from Rogers. The current issue i am facing is that there is some sort of issue with the signal. The device jumps between Virgin mobile(my provide) and emergency only. Constantly i cannot get a reliable signal on the phone. Calls constantly fail and messages rarely send.
I have tried flashing the stock radio for rogers from Da_G's thread as well but no luck. The apn is correct and ive tried turning LTE off, no success at all. Does anyone in the community have any suggestions this is a really frustrating problem!
Thanks

Flash another ROM on it. And keep in mind, it was sold to you as a brick. Maybe it also had the radio issue before you got it.
You did the ICS update via OTA?
Im downloading this rom now "UCLF6 Base Rom Featuring
The Unofficial FJ-Mod Build #11
"RISE UP!""
Will try it and see if it makes any difference.

You can run any rom you like if you've flashed the right version of recovery. There are several 4.4.2 roms available if you want to run the latest. Depending on your area, you may get as good a signal with an att modem. Personally I'm running the BlownFuze 4.4.2 with the UVLG3 modem, with no major issues.

Yes, make a CWM backup first in case something goes wrong. Also, make sure you're running CWM 6.0.4.3 before you flash a 4.4.2 rom

Any JB and up roms, you will need to flash gapps again, but your apps will come back when you log in your gmail. Just read the OP for rom you use and there will be a link to appropriate gapps, though many are the same.
If your new though, I would advise you to read up a bit. Nobody is going to replace your phone if you dont understand and as far as I know, nobody has invented a time machine yet.

Same here - never changed a radio. I have rooted and customized a few of i717 and the previous radio seems to either stay on or in some cases such as BeanStalk Rom it replaced my radio. Either way they are all on target with TMO.
