My network settings switched to gsm, they should be "cdma", im sprint cust and live in US. Ill change setting back to cdma, as soon as I back out 1 screen then go back in the setting will have auto changed back to gsm. I tried to do a recovery and phone would not load recovery (fail). I have found out that the install_recovery.sh file is nowhere on the phone. I just tried unlocking bootloader which was successful and then flashed cwm 5.0.2.7photon3 and sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198-7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US. Also cleared phone a few times and anyway booted up then and it was still auto switching itself to gsm after Id change it to cdma. Im stumped, could anyone help me, or does any1 possibly have idea what might be causing this. I also tried flashing radio from "halfevildruid" thread, that did not work either. PLEASE HELP, WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THANKS. I hope I posted in correct place, sorry if not. I looked around for quite awhile so it would be in correct place.
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
scroll down to "Select preferred network type" and select CDMA Auto (PRL)
Reboot
Q-In settings/about phone what is you PRL?
Q-Which radio did you flash?
Also install_recovery.sh removes CWM on every reboot and replaces it with stock recovery. So do you want a locked phone or unlocked phone? If you want unlocked then you do not want install_recovery.sh.
Have you tried to flash the stock sbf and starting over?
Lokifish Marz I will get info and post back shortly, thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks you for the reply Lokifish,
I hope I am replying back the correct way ( hitting the quote button), anyways I have now got the cm 9 6282012 installed on phone and seems to be working good except my phone is still set on gsm and when Im going to apn's there is no info there it is blank. I went into phone info #*#*4636*#*# and change the setting to "cdma auto prl" and reboot the phone and its still on gsm. I have noticed something in the forums, should I flash the beta 3.1 cm9 file? (which I have not done, but I have flashed the gapps file though) and if so should that be done after flashing the cm9 6282012?
by the way im running cm9 and I go into settings/ about phone/ I don't find any prl. nor do I find it in the *#*#4636#*#* either. Would greatly appreciate any help please
still stuck

Thanks for the reply As far as I know I had thought that this was the original SBF, do you know if that is correct?
1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf Anyways I had tried this file but didn't have any luck.
As of now I have cm9 installed and running except for my sprint cdma network, I do have wifi. but in apn settings it is just blank.
I have a question along the same line. I recently rooted my mopho, keep having an issue installing bootstrap recovery. It seems to continually load when I try to install recovery. Also superuser keeps denying access to system recovery install. Idk if it had to do with the continually loading or if it's a separate issue. I even went in and allowed access with no help still. I'm tring to keep 4g, so I'm staying locked for the time being. Just such a pain, coming from htc evo 4g & 3D.... Never again will I buy moto. Should have done some research before buying. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Basically you can flash any ROM but you will have to get 3G and MMS working. If you are on Sense 2.1 ROM now, download apn backup and restore and backup your current APN's. Also make sure you have 3G before you flash a FROYO ROM because you will not be able to get into diagnostics mode when on FROYO. Ill post the steps I did to get everything working. Download a ROM you want and put it on the root of your SDCARD. Also download Token's Cricket V10 zip file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289 and put in on the root as well.
In Amon Ra's Recovery:
1) Back Up Current ROM (ALWAYS DO BEFORE ANY CUSTOMIZING)
2) Scroll to Wipe Data, select it, then select Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3) Scroll to Wipe Dalvik Cache and select it.
4) Scroll to the ROM you downloaded and put on the root of your SDCARD and select it
5) Once its finished Select the Cricket V10 file. When everything is done reboot your phone.
6) Once your in the phone download autostart root and apn backup and restore from the marketplace.
7) Open apn backup and restore and select delete apns, then select restore apn's and select the one your backed up previously.
8) Reboot the phone and once the phone comes back up grant autostart root superuser permission.
You should have working 3G at this point. If your MMS doesnt work then I can work with you to get it working. Hopefully this helps...
Ok I just got it yesterday but my web and mms don't work. I think it might be the apn do you now what the correct settings are? I tried flashing cricketv10 but with no luck

What plan are you on? Android smartphone, all-in-$45 plan.?
It does matter. It sounds like all-in-$45 cause if you had the android plan your internet would work automatically.
One thing you should have done was check this "full flash" immediately to see if it truly is a "full flash". In my world a full flash is a fully functioning phone talk/text/internet/mms. If all this didn't work when they "full flashed" the phone you got taken.
If you want your Eris on cricket fully functioning xtrasense 4.6.5 is a great ROM for that. Everything you need is right here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289
Just make sure that your settings are right in ePST otherwise you'll never get it. I know my Eris if I *228 it, it reverts to Verizon in ePST. Do you have the evdo or 3g symbol next to your signal strength?
I've got the Eris fully functioning on xtrasense with/without Android plan and also with froshedyo with/without Android plan.
Now if I can just get the mms to work on Gingerbread on the Android plan. Can't get apn right. Working froyo apn doesn't seem to work.

If you do it will work. download the cricketv10 and follow the instructions in the thread. Once you do that it will work.
When you get it working thank Token for all work on this. You'll need to download autostart from the market.
But like I said before. Seems to me you got taken at the store. $60 and all they did was change your PRL. You could have done that yourself by just downloading the PRL to your sdcard and then updating it in PST.
Anyways hope this help. if it still doesnt work check to make sure they provisioned your account properly. I have had several issues in the past with them not setting up the account properly.
i cant get autostart to work, it doesnt ask for root. i have to use root explorer to get data. how can i get the script to run on boot
I had the same issue with Autostart with certain ROMs but never with xtrasense. Thats why I stuck with it for so long until I got on the Android plan.
I never figured out how to get it to run on boot but I only ever had to go into root explorer and run the script when it rebooted. So I just did that as little as possible.
Other than that it works tho?

Hi,
First post on XDA so bare with me on this.
Have flashed my TELUS Note 717D with a few different ROM's over the last few days. With the news that Sammy will be pushing out official ICS in the next week or so I am trying to get my Note A$S back to stock including the correct radio file.
This is where I have come unstuck. I have all the correct files but for some reason I can't get my LTE back. Yes it was working prior to my loading new ROM's and also after I went testing. Had the soft bricking issue yesterday & managed to get that resolved but since then no LTE nada.
Loaded the full TELUS recovery (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440 ) and then the TELUS kernel.
Still no LTE. I have the GB & ICS radio files & now can’t get the recover to load any zip files as I get a error at the first screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
I went thru this yesterday... i
I flashed the ATT stock rom/system from these boards, then downloaded the three part Telus file..when assembled its about 1 Gb...
After flashing ATT, I cleared dalvik, flashed the Telus stock.. Then i did a factory reset, and i was back.
I'm still running a non stock modem file.. But all is functioning.

Can you confiem that you have LTE? do you have the isp.telus.com apn too?

still having issues
I can flash the AT&T ROM with no problems using odin. when I reboot into recovery I am getting a error that wont allow me to use the power button and select the reset option.
The power button works because I can press and hold to reboot the phone but the white triangle with ! mark is in the moddle of the screen. With out that I am unable to do the resetting & clearing of the cache.
Any thoughts?

Yeah.. Unfortunately my skillset definitely into the "knows just enough to be dangerous" category..
What 'recovery' is currently in the phone? Stock recovery? A CWM type recovery? I ask because I had an issue once previously where the power button wouldn't let me select items.. but I was able to use one of the four soft buttons on the bottom front of the phone to execute the same command. Once it was the 'home' button.. on my current recovery software it's the search button oddly enough.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
Do you get the Band preference menu?
What's selected? What happens if you pick 4 (LTE) and then 7 (LTE ALL) ?
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Lastly -- in the SETTINGS / WIRELESS & NETWORK / MOBILE NETWORKS menu.. do you have "NETWORK MODE" menu item that the stock Canadian i717 device has the AT&T device does not?
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?
knoxster said:

I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed which works but wont let me installed the radio file. Bombs out with errors.
When I flash the TELUS stock GB Kernel, I get the standard recovery which wont even let me see the radio file.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
I thought this was a At&t thing only? But that said I did try to the number and got a recorded annc saying that is was not a valid number.
Do you get the Band preference menu?
Yes I have the correct options and its set to use all the HSPA types & LTE too.
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Yes I did the reset to factory in CWM after the At&t ROM flash and after I loaded the TELUS ROM too. I did had to load a different kernel to allow the CWM recovery but then installed the TELUS stock kernel after.
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?

Well, I have the same CWM .. I can't flash any of the supposedly flashable CWM modem files.. errors out part way thru. Weird.
I'm uploading my Telus Stock image that I used to Google drive.. I'll pm you the link once its up.
Sent you the links.
Also -- I managed to get the Bell Radio CWM file loaded on my Telus device from the thread located in this forum. (STOCK BELL thread)
There is now a Rogers stock thread and hopefully they'll have a Telus thread that will have a modem file that loads as well as the Bell one did. I can't imagine the differences are that great.
success
we have LTE!!!
Huge thanks for your help here. Flashing the BELL LTE radio file has now enabled the LTE in my telus note.
A little embarrassing as I work at telus but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yay!... See? Occasionally the blond leading the blind .. something good can come from it!
Plus I managed to get my modem back to stock as well .. I was using that T769 modem that was tweaked for Note use.. and all the Telus CWM modem files I would try to flash in ...just errored out.
I talk to Rogers and apparently there's the 401 sim that's not lte capable. They told me to go back to the store to get the 403 sim with lte capable, maybe that should help fix the problem. I'll give an update tmr once I get the new sim.
Does anyone know where I can find the Rogers radio or modem file? I found the radio but it says installation aborted when I try to flash CWM. I flash the Rogers modem file and the log shows me a installation success but it's i717M which is Bell, not Rogers. Can anyone give me a proper Rogers working link? also, apparently Radio and Modem is the same thing, it's just people playing with words, or I'm I getting it wrong? Thank you.

In regards to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680567
I'm running into some issues at the moment- I had originally tried this on one of the cleanroms, but have since moved to SlimRom, everything else in the Rom works fine, but the data is now VERY spotty. When I look in the data settings it shows the "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto", but it functions as though it is LTE, CDMA- that is the data modes I see are either 4G or 1x, I NEVER see 3G anymore regardless of location. However, if I try and change the data settings to anything else (CDMA (Auto PRL) for instance) it just immediately resets the value/entry to "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto" regardless of the entry I select.
Any help/advise would be appreciated- is there a radio etc I can/should reflash? I'm root + S-ON, I have not gone S-OFF yet.
Thanks!
Make a nandroid of your setup, run the ruu your on and clear storage in bootloader
Ok- I'm still having the same issues- this is what I've done-
1. Took full TI Backup
2. Relocked bootloader
3. Loaded 3.14.605.10 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703539 (added to SDCard, loaded via Recovery, with reboots to get all parts)
4. Unlocked via HTCDev
5. Loaded TWRP 2.2.0 via fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576
6. Ran Factory Reset, and cleared cache in TWRP
7. Flashed Slim 1.7 from TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
8. Mounted SD card to USB via TWRP and copied over PH98IMG.ZIP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
9. Rebooted to bootloader and loaded PH98IMG.ZIP
10. Rebooted into ROM
11. Attempted manual -> Dial "*#*#4636#*#*" but it does not bring anything up at all
12. Loaded LTE SwitchIT utility from market which brings up radio selection screen
13. From Radio selection screen attempted to change to CDMA (Auto PRL) but will not actually change
Please advise
So, another observation- it appears there is just no 3G at all. I can get it to stick in CDMA Auto mode, but only goes to 1x. From some googling it looks like the tooltip had similar issues at times that could be resolved via he ##778# screen. However, that does not appear to work/exist for the rom I'm on.
Can someone please tell me how to get to the epst menus for this release, or the best method for going back to stock? (hoping I can get o hose menus from here) thank you

Yes what he says. Run the RUU and the next thing you do is go into bootloader and select factory reset (or whatever it says there). Many people have repaired corrupted radio partitions by doing this.
Before flashing your favorite recovery/rom perhaps it is wise to use the ruu and see if your data is ok. If satisfied that it is, then flash away!!!!

Relocked the bootloader again and ran the 3.14.605.10 RUU same results. Was able to go into the ##778 menu and adjust the Rev.A settings, but that had no positive change. Reverted it, and still having the same issues. I can get either 4G or 1x, but no 3G whatsoever, and if I try and select "CDMA auto (PRL)" it just immediately switches to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto" Additionally, if I try and turn off LTE via the Mobile Network Settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA Only it won't hold the settings. I can get it to stay in "CDMA Only" via the Phone Info settings, but it will only go to 1x.
What else can I try? Could something possibly be going on with the SIM? What else can I check?

Did you perform the factory reset as I suggested after you flashed the RUU and before you did anything else? Don't know if that is the prob. though. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your back cover is on tight and that all the antenna contact are out so they make contact when the cover is put on.

Did not do the factory reset, but will try that next. Back cover is on well, and I have a good strong 4G signal, just like I can get a decent 1X signal, I just can't get it to switch to 3G

Awesomeness! :highfive:
Hi all, I was able to unlock the baseband, root the phone etc, but the gsm is still not working. I have two questions.
Firstly what is a good gsm rom, the ones i've tried dont have gsm in the network connection section, just cdma, unlike the stock rom. a link would help.
Second the radio, I tried flashing the japanese rom radio but when I add a custom rom, the baseband is n_01.28.07r.
How should I proceed?

most roms have a GSM fix file to go along with it so you can just use it right away with no modding. if you go into the dialer and dial *#*#info#*#* > phone information > go to the drop down menu half way down. > select GSM. then you should have working GSM. at least you should.
The method I've been using is that all-in-one pack from someone, I can't remember who posted it at this moment, but the process goes like this:
1) Go back to pure stock 2.3.4 with the SBF using RSD
2) Root it with the AIO root tool
3) Flash the derpunlock.sbf to unlock the bootloader - it'll fail, which is normal, so when it does it's ok to yank the battery - as long as you see UNLOCKED when you boot the phone, it's unlocked from that point on
4) Install the CWM recovery using moto-fastboot
5) Flash the KDDI radio with CWM
6) Do a full wipe (cache/data/system, easiest fastest way is flash the FULL_WIPE thing)
7) Flash whatever ROM/gapps you want
8) Flash the GSM fix or the GSM fix w/tweaks (there's a few different ones depending on carrier that I know of, I use T-Mobile so just the basic one - that's if the ROM doesn't already offer the option like Th3Bill's newest CM one does, the jokersax one, has the ROM_OPTIONS thing to flash and set that)
You HAVE to flash the GSM fix if one exists RIGHT THEN AND THERE before you reboot and start the ROM the first time - learned that the hard way myself. If you boot into the ROM then realize you forgot to do the GSM fix, you can't just flash that and think it'll work because it doesn't. It must be flashed with the ROM before you boot into the ROM the first time. At least that's how it works for me as someone clued me in when I asked why it wasn't working. All 8 steps above generally have to be followed if you're just going to a new GB/ICS/JB ROM, but if you just flashing ROMs after you've already done the stock (if you did it), then you have to remember to do the GSM fix before you boot into the ROM you just flashed for the first time. Can't do it after...
That should get you running with GSM and data, if it doesn't, use the *#*#4636#*#* and see what mode the radio is in, set it for GSM only (PRL) if it's not already set that way, then hit Menu and make sure to tap Enable data connection at least one time. If it still doesn't kick in, go to the home screen, Menu - Settings - Wireless networks - Mobile networks and make sure the data connection is enabled. On GB ROMs you may need to tap Menu one more time to get the ability to enable the data connection - ICS and JB ROMs have the checkbox there for you, as well as the 2G mode thing too.
Least that's how I've been working this all out myself.
Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.

U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

if you download from the play store this app (its free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwibmV0LmFuZGlyYy5sdGVvbmZvZmYiXQ.. open it and scroll down what does it say under set preferred network type? that screen has more crucial settings then the normal one. if you running viper in viper tweaks its the first option under misc. If you need help ill put up a pick when i get back. someones borrowing mine cause they stepped on their phone lol.
EDIT: also if you are running viper 1.3.1 you should download ind flash after the normal rom the ota update(the one that says 1.3.1 to 1.3.3.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

That doesn't work, I have tried that like 30 times with no change.

I'll try the factory restore in the ROM and see what it does. (haven't setup the rom due to the lack of 4g)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17145857&postcount=2 found this and it seems like your towers might be experiencing something if they dropped from pure lte to this. like some equipment has failed and it has dropped to a lower communication lvl hardware wise. EDIT: when i meant factory i meant in cwm going to restore and restoring your whole backup(snapshot) of the factory rom that you made not in the rom itself.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Original thread of the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236633
PS: This is the original verizon radio.

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
