I've had my thunderbolt for over a year now and its been rooted for most of that time. Up until recently everything been working fine. I was running CM7, but for the past few weeks I haven't been able to get data when connected to 4G. The 4G icon shows up but is grayed out, but when I toggle airplane mode it turns blue but still does not work. My first though was that my radios were wrong so I flashed a bunch of different radios but none of those worked. Next I tried flashing a bunch of different roms (all AOSP because I hate sense), no help. I finally figured it was my SIM card so I got a replacement from verizon.
So none of this worked and on a whim I decided to flash a sense based rom, and 4G worked!
Is this a common problem with thunderbolts or does anybody have a fix for this? I really want to switch back to CM7 (running MIUI with no MMS right now).
EDIT: I forgot to mention, for some reason 4G data works on the MIUI rom I'm currently running. So for now I'm opting for speed over MMS.
For anyone interested my radios are currently:
LTE: 0.01.79.0331w_1
radio: 1.49.00.0406w_1

Hello,
I have had my tbolt rooted for over a year as well, I am a flashaholic and never had a data problem, maybe u need to switch ur kernel, I'm on ziggys kernel and I've been on since it released and never had a problem, I never really changed my radio, hope this helps.

There are 4G issues with AOSP, you get slower data speeds and for some reason my coverage recording maps don't record 4G properly when using AOSP. Sense works fine.

I did switch to imosyens lean kernel on a few roms after things started acting up. I don't think my kernel is the issue though, seeing as I was running CM7 for so long with no problems.

Odd that it worked for so long and randomly crapped out. You wouldn't happen to know of any fix or work around to this problem, would you? I really just can't stand the notification menu and icons that come with sense.

Hi everyone, recently my 4g has been dropping constantly, I haven't been able to use it at all. Whenever I try to use it, the 4g symbol disappears and reappears. I am using AOSP roms, it happened on OMFGB and The new theoryaosp. I have tried MR2 radio, MR2.5 radio, and the newest radio. This just started happening a couple days ago. Can anyone help? Thanks
Bump, help please?
there was a thread about getting 4G to work on CM7... since both of those are variations of it i'd say give it a try(unless you already have);
here's the link: How to get 4G to work
i can't say if it works or not though as there's no 4G in my area yet.
That didn't work for me my 4g still drops everytime I try to go on the internet, thanks though
check if verizon is having issues in your area, my went down for a few days and i called a rep and they said they were having issues. happens a lot if they just turned it on
Nah thats not it, my mom has a stock thunderbolt and she gets good 4g connection

I suggest the OP read the developer's postings from the ROMs they use and do what the developer asks for those that can't get LTE to work correctly:
We have working data on our AOSP rom.
4g is confirmed to work for most.
If it doesnt work for you, read the thread for info on logcats. Get us some of those

The developer can't fix the problem unless you send him system logs showing why your data is dropping out.
Also if you happen to be using "nightlies" stop doing that if you always want things to be working correctly. They're not the most stable things in the world and prone to regressions due to the accelerated schedule. Someone might disagree with me, but that someone has never developed before and doesn't know what goes on when you start messing with code and push it out before it's fully tested
I don't know if its just me but I no longer have 4G on my TB. I've been using the 704 Radio for a long time and never had issues with 4G. All of a sudden today, no matter what rom I load, I have no 4G. I did call Verizon today for some personal info and there was a recording regarding issues with devices but I forgot to get more info on it. I know I have 4G coverage in my area so idk what's going on..Can anyone Chime in and lmk what they're experiencing..Thanks
i havent had any issues with mine today, have you tried to flash a different radio? or perhaps you should try the ##778# method to turn off 4g and switch the cdma only and then revert back
Moved to Q&A
^ +1
Aside from the typical cliche of reminding you to put your flame suit on, has one considered that it may be location related and had you checked a local Verizon store to determine if their 4G units are experiencing like problems?
The key to basic troubleshooting is to rediscover the basic fundamentals of the obvious solutions, available to you, prior to stepping to the in-depth possibilities that may exist otherwise. - shawnathan9

First off, Thanks for the quick tip with the ## thing..Didn't know about that..Secondly, I will try another radio, I think the Liquid rom does use the official MR2 radio..I'll try that and see..Thanks

Just a heads-up...radios are not included in roms. Rom threads simply state which radios they work with but it seems users think that means those roms are including the radio which is incorrect. You will need to flash a radio in bootloader (not recovery) if you want to try a different one.

I've loaded dozens of roms and understand that Radios do not come with any rom. I also know how to flash radios as well. Thanks for your input anyways.

I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just a common mistake and something in the last comment made it sound like you thought they were in roms so I wanted to mention it. I suppose I read too much into it.
Try enabling Wifi for a while....then turning it off.
Every once in a while when I flash a new ROM (seems to happen more on AOSP based) it starts off in 1x, then LTE...then 3G.
Sometimes you just gotta let it settle... But I've found using WiFi, then turning it off and using the LTE on/off app (it's the same as the ##, just quicker) you can get LTE working.
Finicky....but it works...

Go back to MR2.5 704 is great in the cities, but it tightens up tolerances too much for other areas. Another issue with MR3 aka 704 is that 3G data is wicked touchy when your dealing with 96dbm and higher. MR2.5 was a release and I have good reason to believe the next radio release be it official/final or leaked will be more loose like 2.5
Again everyone's experience will very, speaking of averages here. Also
Thanks for all the feedback guys..Tried all the tricks but no go..I got 4G away from my home near work but I get here at home, No 4G. I called VZW and they verified I should have 4G in my area. I didn't wanna troubleshoot the TB w/tech support cuz it's rooted and the info they may ask for, will not be what they're expecting since am running custom rooted rom..ready5, I just loaded the 2.5 radio and No 4G still..IDK what's really going on?
approx how long ago was the last time you had 4G at your home? Did you change anything since then can can perhaps revert back to a previous backup. and just to confirm, on a fresh reboot you see absolutely no 4G at all from home
NY, I believe I had 4G w/CM7 and kobes rom..Am going to attempt to restore one of y backups and see..I have no clue what went south here..When I get to work, I do have 4G but again, my home area, no 4G and Am told by Verizon, Am supposed to have 4G. I just loaded UBER bamf and no 4G either. I located this confusing Thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128) and tried the GB d/lds and still no 4G

Two days ago I rooted and installed cm7.1. Everything was fine at home on WiFi then I go to work and my phone is rendered useless. I work in and area where before being rooted and having a custom Rom installed I would have good 3g service all day every day. Now the phone is bouncing back and fourth between 3g and 1x. With one to two bars on either and usually stuck on 1x. So I switch to mean Rom ics. Rom works exceptionally well but now I'm at work and once again terrible not even usuable signal strength in a place where I've worked for years and never had an issue before. It took me 3 hours to download tapatalk from the play store today just to write this. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there's a fix! If not I'll be reverting to stock.
Sprint evo 3d
Hboot 1.5 s-on
4ext recovery
Mean Rom ics
I tried updating profile and prl with no luck. Which actually I don't even know what that does so it could be irrelevant.
Please help thanks!

Also there is a big difference in what Rom you choose, at least for me. Some have roaming working, som do not. I would try a different Rom.

Thank you for the reply but it didn't seem to work. Looks like I'll go back to stock. :crying: Phone isn't even usable with this data speed.
Try D3rp latest ics. I was having same issue till I flash this. Make sure clean wipe.

Bumer man. If you were s-off I'd say just flash a different radio. However you being s-on makes that not a option. Have you tried calling sprint and have them reset your signal ?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
Ya, definitely do s-off, prefer Closeone with Unknownforce, worth the time, not sure of other method, never tried. Different Rom, some my data is 200-400, others better signal and 1100-1600 3g. CM7 kind of old, second the recommended previously though my preference is Sense 4, no 4g in Phoenix metro, dam you Sprint...lol.

Hey guys. Little new to the TBolt crew here.
I've been rooting for a bit. Did an HTC Hero, a DROID Eric, an Incredible... Now I've got a TBolt sitting here that I just rooted about an hour ago. It was running 4G just fine both before and after the root, but after installing a CM7 ROM (SFK's to be precise) I haven't seen 4G pop up since. I've tried a couple other CM7 roms, but nothing seems to make a difference - it only runs on 3G.
I was thinking it might be a radio problem, but admittedly I'm pretty novice with this stuff. I just flash what sounds interesting, and if it's not as stable as I'd like I find something else to flash. Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong? And what I can download to fix it?
EDIT: After giving up and deciding to go back to my backup of "stock" that I'd just made... now it's failing to properly back up. This wonderful error about data being corrupted with the only button available being "I'm Feeling Lucky" and still no 4G, only 3G. Now I'm at a complete loss.
I have a Nexus sitting next to me clearly connected to 4G just fine, so I know it's not a network issue. What the heck is going on here?
I'm sure you have, but never know... have you checked your wireless network settings?
Settings--Wireless & Networks--Mobile Networks--Network Mode.
Make sure LTE/CDMA is selected.

most roms are built with a specific radio in mind i would try to flash one of the newer radios they work better drain less battery and are more compatible with rooted roms.
S-off, Hboot 1.12. Have no problems with data connection (lte or 3g) using Sense Roms. For some reason that is not the case with anything other than Sense. Have unreliable connection with new AOKP, AOSP (Paranoid), and CMX (Decks). All the Roms work great otherwise. I can usually get data back at least for awhile by toggling airplane mode/reboot. This seems to only be a real problem for a relatively small percentage of people using these Roms. Know the Roms are tweaked to work on our phone but curious if anyone has any insight on this issue.
Nobody? Issue makes no sense.
Edit: Just flashed newly released radio and now all good...even have faster lte speeds
