Hey guys I'm on Homebase 4.1 ROM. Phone is unlocked and rooted, android version 2.3.4. I haven't been on these forums for a while since everything has been working great until now. I didn't miss not having 4G data due to being unlocked, but recently Sprint started working on upgraded their towers in my area. We lost 3G data connection for a while and this was supposed to be normal due to the upgrading going on. The problem is that the upgrade is over and everyone else in my family has 3G working again on their non rooted crappy phones, but my 3G never kicked back in. Before I factory reset everything and start messing around with different ROMS i just wanted to see if anybody could point me in the right direction on what I could do or what the problem might be?

try dialing *228 and see if that helps. also try dialing *#*#info#*#* in the dialer and go to phone information. scroll down to the drop down menu and trying putting it into EVDO only mode. see if it picks it up.
Did you have 3G on this rom before the upgrades? Some roms were having 3G problems over the last couple of weeks, but new versions have fixed it.
If that is not the issue then you can try ##DATA#

try to re flash ur rom again..hope it fix i think..
Fixed
It was definitely the first ROM i was using being broken. Moved to MOF locked version and everything works fine. 4G is nice too. Setting up all my home screens the way i like it again was a little tedious but oh well.

my phone just developed this problem this morning. the phone is rooted running twisted sense 1.5 i had the newest radio update installed but was having problems with it randomly restarting so i reverted back to the factory radio version. after going back to the factory radio the phone was working fine until this morning, it will connect to the 1xRTT network but not 3g or lte. i have tried restoring to an earlier backup and i've tried installing the new radio as well without any results. please tell me there is a way to fix this i just bought the phone over the weekend and really dont want to have to go back and buy a new phone this soon.
thanks.
there are a ton of posts about this.
verizon has an outage.
well **** i guess im an idiot. this is the first time today i got online so im abit out of the loop. thanks man
I had the same issue. After using the search button I found this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052727 it fixed the issue and I am back on 3G.
My thunderbolt started off with das bamf 1.7 and I flashed the Ginger Alpha radio. It worked great for 4-5 days then I left my home area where I normally have 4G. When I got back no 4G i even checked my buddies phone and it has*4G*right next to mine.
I already tried flashing a*stock RUU and trying a bunch of different MR1 radios. It can connect to 3G but will drop the connection a lot no matter what radio I flash. And no 4G at all.
Thanks in advance for any help
I am having the same issues with mr2 and the new ota radio. You don't happen to be on metro detroit are you? This has been going on for days now. I may have to flash the stock locked rom and return phone if out doesn't improve soon.

ive been loosing 4g as well here in west michigan over the weekend with the new OTA. ill see how the phone acts at work today.
I am actually have the opposite problem. I can lock into 4g fine, but I can not get a 3g signal. This is with the radio from the last ota
sent from my bolt
O good im not alone. Bowtie26 I had to reset to factory again and then let the OTA go through with S-on but I still cannot connect to 4G. So I dont think setting it back to factory settings helps. Im in Portland, OR.

maybe your sim card is on the fritz. I'd try to get another one.
Yeah I guess I never thought of that, do you think that my phone would still display the SIM ID if the card was bad though?

it could. Sim cards are notoriously unreliable, and can partially function. If you have gone back to stock already, wouldn't hurt to visit a verizon store and if not and you have a buddy with a thunderbolt, you could swap sims and see if that works.
Yeah Ill do that and report back. Thanks good idea
Alright definitely not the SIM card. Tried it for a day and still no 4G.
I lost 4g today as well in NYC. as did three of my coworkers with thunderbolts.
do you have any idea what radio your co-workers were using?

I'm on MR2 official. Both of them are on MR1. i'm on cm7, another is on cm7, one is on stock MR1 OTA (rooted).
weird. This problem doesnt seem to specific. did you ever flash the Ginger Alpha radio?
Flashed the OTA (.627) yesterday and it was worse for me than the MR2.5 leak. Went back to the MR2 leak, everything is fine. In St. Louis - 4g pretty much everywhere. With the .627 the phone locked on 3g most of the time. Didn't swap for a new sim though - with MR2 stable for now.

Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.
So after reading through all the posts about flashing my phone to ics from droidstyle's post, i ended up trying to flash my phone from 2.3.5 (which I was not able to update normally by my crappy carrier) to one of the ics roms. Which ended up giving me zero 3g access. My question is are their specific files i can pull from a working Showcase with the latest carrier supported os, to put on my phone after i flash it to ics to get it to access 3g again? My problem is all these roms and what not tend to be based off verizons phone the fascinate. Which as far as i can tell are almost identiacal except a few differences. I dont have verizon as my carrier but a little kansas based one called nex-tech.
there is a 3g data fix.zip floating around here somewhere in this section...thats what u need.
*edit found it
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59704791/Data_fix_ISC.zip
So that'll fix it? Ur awesome. I tried searching about 3g but I couldn't find anything

OK so another question... if that doesn't work how do I revert back to the stock OS from my carrier that gives me 3g access

go to rootzwiki and download the stock eh09 or ei20 package then follow the going back to stock part of the guide.
ok, so after all that i still dont have 3g access. Tried reverting back to 2.3.5 but it wont give me my 3g back at all.

most likely you will have to call your carrier and have them do a esn swap or activate a old phone on your line then switch back.
I went down to the office and they did a swap of a phone they had in the building. No luck what so ever. My girl friend and i have the same exact phone, minus a small hardware update between them. Ive completely erased all of my phone and flashed a generic showcase rom and updated through their website. They programmed it and all that jazz but no luck...
phone info
hardware version 1500.05
firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version S:i500.05 K.EI20
Biuld number SCH-I500.EI20
If u need any other info im happy to do anything to get this damned 3g back

You want an easy fix? Activate it on a Verizon account....
I'm not trying to offend you, but Samsung created it for Verizon network...you might be able to program it to work on another, but you might not...idk
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
Well the phone is a Nex-tech phone, that is where i bought it from. That is the local cell phone provider here. Its worked flawlessly rooted for almost 6 months. Then i decided to try and get ics on it and followed the guide droid so awesomely wrote up for everyone. It didnt work so well for me, because Nex-tech is some random generic cdma cellphone provider.

I had a Sprint Epic for a brief time but live in an area where it was using Nex-tech's towers since Nex-tech is part of Sprint's roaming alliance. I was running custom Froyo roms from XDA because there was no official Froyo release at the time. After a few months it had the same problem with losing 3G. I spent two hours on it with Sprint's tech support and never got it to work again. They even sent me a refurbed phone and it failed right out of the box. They wanted me to drive to the nearest store to have them activate it, which was 1 1/2 hours away when it should have been able to activate thru Nextech's system. Needless to say I ate the ETF and got a Fascinate.
My theory is Nextech has some kind of black list that shuts off data on phones it thinks are roaming for an excessive amount of time. Maybe switching to an ICS Rom designed for the Fascinate might have triggered that.
Good luck with getting it working. The main thing that keeps me from going back to Nextech is their lame tech support and huge repair times instead of refurbished swapouts. I keep hoping when Nextech's contract with Sprint is up next year maybe Sprint will come out here.

I've been going back and forward from nocturnal rom and the Korean jb port and somewhere in between I lost lte. I don't do anything crazy just wiping and flashing. I reverted back to stock and still no lte. I didn't have time to root and don't have access to a computer until I get out of work. I was sure if this has happened to anyone else and was just looking for some suggestions.
Sorry for the lack of info but I haven't seen any error messages or fc's. I'm currently on software version E97010o.
Thanks for any help.
I totally lost LTE as well 2 days back. And at this point I have tried everything to get it back. So you are not alone.

Yea this isn't the first time something like this happens to me. I lost WiFi on my skyrocket before after flashing and the phone became too hot. Hopefully I find something on the web. Thanks for the post.
So I got my phone rooted and fix permissions. I knew that wouldn't do much but gave it a shot anyway.
Ok. I just flashed the international version of jb and LTE is back. So problem is solved for now.
Possible fix for no LTE
So I've had this same issue where I lost LTE after flashing the Korean JB port and then moving to the Canadian version. I've worked on it for a couple of days and came across this possible fix in a post. This worked for me and now I have LTE back!
Go to your dialer and get to the service menu. 3845#*970# lte-only- Modem settings -Rat selection- automatic, or lte only
I chose automatic and after it did my LTE came back instantly! I haven't been that happy in a while.

Thanks. I tried this and it works on the JB international versio but it doesn't work on ATT stock ICS.
That's because the stock rom doesn't have the setting. In slick Rom you can change one line in build.prop to enable from disable and it will show up in wireless settings.
