[Q] SMS sent blank and wont receive, tried multiple roms - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I flashed my friends fascinate which was stock from 2010 with AOKP and AOKP devil build and CM9 and neither one is getting sms's to go through, they are sent blank and don't receive.
I tried adjusting APN but it seems to be already set up correctly.
Is it a radio problem? What radio should I flash as most of them I see seem really old.

Sounds like you didn't flash the radio. Use an eh03 Odin and then flash the from you want.

[Q] Blank Txt Problems

Having a strange problem. All the txt i send are received as blank msgs. Also doesnt seem that i can receive txt msgs either. Phone calls work fine.
Im running SC 2.9.2 with the Ultimate Honeycomb theme. I also flashed the EC10 voodoo kernel found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003017
Any ideas. I think i might try reflashing the kernel.
It sounds like you are running an eclair radio on froyo. Check your baseband version. You need at least the dl09 radio and the eb01 radio is recommended.

Where do i check that? and where can i get the files to flash?
**EDIT**
Found the EB01. in the middle of a restore now so i'll let the results be known
Menu-> settings-> about phone to check your baseband (radio). Use this thread if you need to flash the radio:

Edit: make sure you have the appropriate samsung usb drivers installed prior to doing this. They can be found in the first post of the linked thread

[Q] ED01 community rom v1.2 help: not getting texts

I just upgraded from my old Droid Eris to a new fascinate last friday and I've been messing around with it trying out different ROMs and such and i decided to install the ED01 v1.2 rom today. I was enjoying it until i found out that i couldn't recieve texts and when i sent them all it would send was a blank text...
I've since reverted back to stock and I was wondering if anyone could help me out because I was really enjoying the rom until i realized I wasnt getting texts.
What modem did you flash when you were running UKB 1.2?
*You should be running the EC01 or the ED01 modem. You can find the ODIN file for EC01 modem in the forums. Sadly, in order to have the ED01 radio, you need to go through Adrynalyne's process of retrieving it (which you can also find in the forums).
I think I was just running the EI01 regular baseband. I didn't know that was even a factor. I'm going to try to find everything you just mentioned haha, wish me luck

actually i run into the same problem.. im on ec01 radio comm 1.2, i live in an area with poor service.. but i could usually send messages.. now if i lose service for more than 5-10 minutes.. i have to reboot phone to get them to send/recieve.. not even toggling airplane mode will bring it back.. ive tried *228 with no improvement
Ok so I reflashed a stock fully bloated 100% original rom and took the OTA update to Froyo which upgrades the modem to ED01 right? So i should be able to flash the community rom fine now without any problems right? or am i completely wrong?

It should work if you followed adrynalyne's steps to getting ED01 with ED01 radio. Good luck!

Lost sms after flashing to cyanogenmod7 and any othere rom so far.

I've been doing pretty well at flashing new roms and thought i had the hang of it. But when I went from a complete stock fascinate > root > Correct Rom manager install > to Cyanogen mod 7 rom. I can not send or receive sms. I have flashed a couple other roms and even the new nightlies for Cm7. Am I missing something? Is it kernel Based?
Sorry for the newbness of it. But I have been working on this for a couple days now.

I would suggest to use Odin to flash recovery, or VZW roms (when starting fresh or returning to stock, or if the rom is made for Odin flashing) and use cwm recovery to install roms, kernels, zip files or whatever and get away from rom manager...it doesn't work well with the fascinate and while some files and recovery's will flash through rom manager you'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you learn Odin and cwm, now....its not hard, you just have to read, and read and read, especially the stickies in the a and a and Dev section. ultimately though I think you're problem is based on using rom manager for you're install.
This will get you on the right track and all off the links for Odin, recovery, and instructions are in the first post.

Thank you!
That's what it was, I was under the assumption the radio file had updated and it hadn't. Guess i just missed the error in Odin. I just updated to EC09 and they started working.
Is that the newest radio available?

EC09 has proven to have the best performance with all the GB roms (since it's a modem from the GB vzw leak). But it's not the newest since build date is E=2011 C=march 09th.
good day.

I'm having the same problem. My data works fine if I switch back to a gingerbread rom, but stops with any ICS rom. I've even tried to restore the APN's via APN backup and restore, but no luck.
Does anyone have a fascinate ICS rom working with MetroPCS internet yet?

Yes, I read the post above, but wasn't sure if this pertained to MetroPCS too. I don't have 3g with Metro.
Also, how do I apply the patch. Do I have to push using ADB or RootExplorer?

ive noticed on the fascinate that apnbackup and restore doesnt do much for ics+ so theres a file that is in system/etc/apn-config.xml full of apn settings just add metropcs and ic&e's apns in there using the format, its all the apns that your cdma phone can use, then make into a flashable zip and it will be ready to re-flash everytime you switch roms. i have to do this for my fascinate to get it to work on straight talk lol
if i knew what the apn settings were for them i would make you a zip, ill look into it later tho

i717 frequently reboots

I'm running stock, rooted and debloated ICS 4.0.4. Everything went fine for a few days after I installed through ODIN, but now when I try to send a text message it more often than not reboots (screen will go black and the phone will do short little vibrations until I hold the power button down for a few seconds). The rebooting has also happened a couple of times when I've been using the mobile data. I've wiped cache/dalvik to ensure that the problem did not come from there, and I wiped EVERYTHING before I installed stock ICS. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Have you checked the thread for that ROM, see if its a common problem?
Who is your carrier? Maybe modem related?
Maybe try reflashing it?

Thanks for the reply!
It's the stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware. Baseband: I717UCMD3. Kernel version: 3.0.8. Build number: IMM76D.UCLF6.
Flashed it through ODIN and rooted shortly thereafter. I've been looking through the forums trying to find someone having the same problem and I haven't. My GNote is AT&T branded, unlocked though. I'm using a NET10 SIM (NET10 runs on the AT&T network I believe). I've tried reflashing, wiping, whatever you can think of and still getting reboots/the vibration issue.

I'm confused. U have 2 modems listed here UCLF6 and UCMD3.
The MD3 is the newer modem since the official JB update. Check thread and make sure the one you need.

If you didn't flash an alternate modem, then you should be good. Maybe double check thread for modem supplied. You can just reflash modem or even try another.
Surprised nobody else has chimed in here. Is your APN OK?

I flashed the Blackstar BlackJelly ROM w/whatever modem that one comes with, along with the Phase kernel so I can OC it a little. No restarts as of yet...we'll see what happens.

Both Black star and Padawan are very stable even with stock kernel. Not sure how Phase will last with BS. Trickster Mod with either will allow you that little bit OC/UV without needing alternate kernel.
Good luck.

on another site (rootgalaxynote I think) the author recommended the Phase kernel with the Blackstar BlackJelly ROM. I'll give it a shot and if it's not stable I'll revert back to the stock kernel.
You can have different builds and basebands. That doesn't matter.
These phones sometimes get some lint in the power button and that causes reboots. Or the button isn't sitting in its opening exactly right, and a slight touch will reboot the phone.

I used to have the same problem, then I flashed CyanogenMod, and then used Greenify, SD-Booster, and Autokiller (apps) to hibernate my running apps, increase my cache size, and shut down all the background tasks. Suddenly, I had no more reboots or other issues. My phone is also super smooth, super fast, and the battery life is eternal.
