Enabling 1x/3G data on Non verizon (Reliance -India) Fascinate - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy SCH-I500 (also named as verizon Fascinate/Mesmerize) which i bought from Reliance in India. Everything has been working smoothly including 1x/3G data too on stock roms. But it was using android 2.2 froyo. Not content with it, currently i have flashed the TSM resurection 2.2 Rom with KGB kernel. Everything is working fine. But when i try to flash any rom other than Touchwiz roms, my data stops working. I have used the data fix files for ICS for verizon as well as non verizon (by massaint) but still it just does not connect. The Roms (have tried THS Bld 2, MIUI ICS, and AOKP M6) but with the same results.
My observation:
1) If i do not wipe data, cache & dalvik while flashing any Custom TW roms (like evil fascination, geewiz 2.8. or tsm res 2.2), I get 1x/3G connectivity.
2) If i wipe data, cache & dalvik while flashing any custom TW roms, I lose data connectivity on any above ROMs.
3) At any time if i flash back to Reliance stock roms I get back data connectivity again.
Due to this i am not able to flash any mtd based roms as it (i presume) wipes everything & hence i get no 1x/3G data.
PS: To enable 1x/3G data on stock rom (froyo) i have to go to settings-wireless & network -Mobile network-Reliance Netconnect (here i use Dial: #777; username: mobile no ; password: mobile no. Only then the phone connects to the Reliance data network.
Unfortunately, there is no such option to set the APN on any custom TW Roms and neither on AOKP/MIUI/AOSP ICS. Infact, i heard/read the APN settings cannot be changed on ICS roms.
Is there anything i can do about this.
Can anyone help me out with a solution for the same

You need datafix for gb by massaint for TW ROM
For ICS you need data fix ICS
Try this :
- Ask your operator how to update OTA either to activate or to update the prl.
- Try to re-inject your number. i'm not from us. in Stock ROM (Verizon) i still can use my data and call, even the provider is verizon. i assume you're using stock ROM not from verizon. try to restore to stock ROM verizon, and see if you can see the data. the patch is for verizon i think, not for your operator. i hope you get what i mean
*try to restore to stock Verizon and then inject your number. try if you can do workaround there, if you succeed, you can use the patch for sure.

I have tried many times to odin stock eh03 from verizon but it always gets stuck at modem.bin and finally odin fails. I have tried it with other stock roms as well from verizon and different carriers with the same result. Somehow, I am not able to change my radio (modem) and it stays at stock reliance radio ie ek10. I have switched between many custom roms (froyo and gb too with the same radio without any problem)
I have asked this previously too but have not got an effective answer.
I have also tried both the data fix files on gb and ics as well but with no positive results. Also used apn backup and restore from market but even though it writes file settings to apns-conf.xml in /system/etc folder, I do not get 1x/3g data

Data *only* with stock rom?!

Hi,
I'm with Telus, and been running custom roms for a while now, without any problems... until now.
To make a long story short, I was stupid enough to let the Sprint customization run on the latest stock rom; from then on, I couldn't get any data connection from any custom rom I tried. All in all, a pretty common problem.
So, in order to fix the Sprint customization, I re-flashed the latest stock Telus rom, and that went great. Re-locked the phone, and re-flashed a custom rom (dcd 3.2.x, everytime with the Telus carrier cab of course) believing that all would be working good now. But, I still couldn't get a data connection.
I flashed back the stock rom, and tested there if I could get the connection; lo & behold, the data connection actually works with the stock rom! I've done that pattern a couple times now, and everytime I flash a custom rom, I can't get data to work, even tough it seems to work all right when using the stock rom.
I never seen references of that problem when data only works with the stock rom; any idea what I can do to repair the data connection for custom roms? Thanks a lot.
install the Telus carrier cab. thats the only reason why u dont get data. I'm with Telus as well and run the latest from DCD w/no problems. Make sure u have the latest or min. req. radio.
This has been checked and done over and over. I always install the telus cab. I tried installing it multiple times. I tried installing an older one. I tried an older radio. I tried a hard reset.
Sorry, but I really need something not as obvious as installing the carrier tab to fix the problem.

There have been several threads and posts regarding your specific issue. Please search a little more next time, because you would have found the answer.
You will not get data working again until you get a DMU reset from your carrier. The Sprint customizations overwrote your DMU keys and they need to be reset. Flashing the stock rom refurbishes your PRI and gets the rest working fine, but for data this is the ONLY way, next to swapping your phone out for a new one.
But why does my data works with the stock rom if my DMU is wiped?! That's what I don't understand. And like I said, it's consistent; I'm on the stock rom, data works. I flash a custom rom (obviously unlocking and flashing a new radio too), install the carrier cab, data doe not work. I flash back the stock rom, data works. How come?
edit: I re-read a good bunch of the threads speaking about letting the customization for another carrier run, and not once did I see the same problem that I have; that is, that data is working with the stock rom, but not with a custom one. Would it be particular to Telus? And don't tell me I'm not installing the carrier cab when I go custom.

I had the same problem as you man, except with verizon wireless. If you've followed all the steps (i.e flashed to stock, and then flashed the new radio without letting customizations run) then there's only one thing left to do which fixed my problem. Call up Telus and have someone remove your Data feature, and to put on Pay per KB/MB. It should THEN work, because the DMU is now reset. So after it's removed, give it a whirl to google.com or whatever. Hang up, and call back. Ask them to add the data plan again. Data should now work for you
Let me know if the problem persists!
I'll call Telus in the next few days and try to make my way to a DMU reset. I'll post the results once it's done.
FIXED, and WITHOUT getting my DMU reset. I simply installed that rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364157
with radio 3.27, and data worked. This was the first time since the Sprint customization that I could get data working on a non-stock rom. I then proceeded to install a newer radio and the latest dcd. Works like a charm
Told you guys a DMU reset didn't make sense since data was working with the stock rom!

[Q] No CDMA Service on Custom Roms

Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting or flashing ROM's but I've encountered some issues. Basically, I was on an early JB Rom and everything was working fine but it mostly was in roaming and would go from 2-4 signal bars.
I backed up and have attempted to flash:
PACman
MIUI 2.11.23
As well as CM10 by joker and AOKP CM 10.
Every flash I end up with no signal bars and no roaming, also following all install instructions in the threads.
I have tried flashing with and without prop tweak, i have even restored the backup all with the same results:
Empty signal bars, occasional R for roaming, every call says mobile network unavailable.
I have also fixed permissions, and have tried to flash via TH3Bill CWM and TWRP recovery... what am I doing wrong? The backup isin't even working!
I wouldn't know off hand, but here's something you can try while waiting for a more professional member to come to the rescue.
System Settings> More>Mobile Networks>System select>Home only
What's your current PRL, APNs?
if it was me I'd sbf back to stock and see if I had signal then go back and try a custom rom again

Before sbf'ing if you have a back up of your stock ROM or any ROM that has the update profile/prl setting in it, restore that back up and try updating your profile/prl then wipe/flash your new ROM.
I usually have this problem when I switch back to my Photon from my ET4G, but updating the profile usually does the trick.
When I restored my old backup, I had the same problem. The only fix I could find was on MIUI and selecting automatic netowrk before flashing options chooser. Any other rom would make no changes on automatic or home only. I am going to try a fresh install and if no luck will sbf today. I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks!
**EDIT** Does it matter if I use Th3Bill's CWM recovery or TWRP? I have tried both with similar results. I jut noticed CWM is usually posted with the ROM builds... does it makes a difference? If so, what should I use?
Normally both work just fine, as long as you're using one of those two
I spent too much time flashing roms and wondering why they wouldn't work right, when I was using the stock CWM
I think It's just my opinion but I have preference for bill's cwm
Having this exact same problem. Did anyone figure it out?
No Radio/Signal
I recently flashed the latest MIUI.US V5 3.4.5 for the Photon provided by Th3Bill. I am familiar with the process of applying ROMs. I tried to go back to Beanstalk, JB, and ICS and could not recover the radio signal. I even restored a few backups with the same result, no signal. I flashed the MIUI V5 3.4.5 ROM back to the Photon and it worked flawlessly. Can anyone please help? I would really like to get off the MIUI ROM, it does not appeal to me like the standard versions of Jelly Bean that Th3Bill has produced.

Data connection won't turn white!

Hey guys, so over the last 2 hours I've been trying different ROMs to see which I like and give me the best data speeds.
During the process I thought I flashed the att JB radio but wasn't sure so I flashed it again.
After that no matter what ROM or what radio it will not fully connect.
It stays orange on tweaked aosp based ROMs but still gives some data connection, while on stock based ROMs it won't connect to data period.
I tried flashing some the mako 0.48 radio and nothing, then the JB radio, nothing, then the ICS and then the JB, nothing.
I thought maybe I messed up the EFS so I restored a backup and still orange no matter what. D-:
Please help me fix this.
Edit: Restored my Beanstalk backup from this morning and the data icon turns white
Edit 2: flashed stock JB and still doesn't connect.
Edit 3: connects fine, stock JB wouldn't connect because APN wasn't set.

[Q] Stock KK (Korean ROM) + GoPhone SIM = No MMS?

I've had my Optimus G for about a year and a half now, and have been using it with a cut-down GoPhone SIM (for those unaware, GoPhone is a prepaid AT&T cell service). I do not have a data plan and simply use WiFi for my data needs. I do use cell data for MMS purposes, and use the APN setup from this thread to make sure my phone doesn't make any non-MMS data calls.
I've never had any issues in doing this with any ROM (stock JB or custom ROMs such as Carbon or PA).
However, I've been giving the new Korean-rip stock KK roms a go and I can't get either one to work correctly with MMS. Paulicat's ROM constantly throws errors saying it can't connect to cell data, so I gave gourab4u's ROM a try. It doesn't throw any error messages at all (and seems to run a lot better/smoother on my phone), but if I try to send an MMS text it never goes through.
Worried that my mucking about with custom ROMs on my phone may have done some weirdness, I LGNPST'd my phone back to stock. The stock JB ROM worked fine with MMS, so I gave both of these new stock KK roms a try again, and the same issues resulted. Just to be absolutely sure it wasn't a radio issue, I flashed this AT&T JB Radio E97020J ZIP. Still no MMS.
Any and all help would be appreciated...the Korean stock KK ROM runs beautifully on my phone otherwise, and I'd hate to have to go back to an AOSP ROM just for MMS.

APN help

I live in India and use an imported SCH-R970 on Reliance CDMA carrier. Till now I was using stock rom(4.4.2) and everything worked fine. But I recently flashed echoe rom(for i9505). I was able to make calls, but I lost my mobile data. I googled it up and there were a lot of solutions which involved changing APN settings. But I couldn't locate it under settings-more networks-mobile networks(where it is usually located). So I went back to stock and everything was normal. I then came upon apn-conf.xml and these settings differed from the one in echoe rom. So I want to ask can I reflash echoe rom and replace stock apn-conf.xml and get my data back?
PS There is no apn settings even in stock 4.4.2. Please reply ASAP.
