Hey guys,
was running Fresh 5.3.1 and went to CM 10 stable.
I did the following prior to this:
1. updated radio for s-on devices via TWRP to get to latest version
2. factory reset
3. wiped system
4. wiped cache + dalvik
5. flashed cm10
6. booted, download Titanium backup
7. Titanium complain about seeing an android device ID mistmatch and said it would fix it so I said yes
8. Observing that I cannot connect to LTE network (it won't connect and won't fail back to 3g). I can only connect to 3g when LTE isn't available. EDGE works fine.
9. Also noticing that the device doesn't switch APs well at all like my old stock ROM or FreshROM did. (It will hang on to a WIFI AP that has a weaker signal).
Anyone else having these issues? Should I not change the device ID with Titanium? Is that the cause?
TIA.

UPDATE 1: Also installed / flashed gapps for JB in there
UPDATE 2: I'm also running radio (baseband) 1.12.11.0809 (latest I believe). Never had any issues like this with any other ROM I've tried (stock, Fresh, OMJ, pokerom) ...
UPDATE 3: Going to try again without restored Android ID
UPDATE 4: I wiped and reflashed and did NOT restore previous Android ID via Titanium Backup and now 4G LTE works fine but I'm still having the WiFI AP issues - seems like this ROM doesn't have logic on the client side wifi stack to look for a stronger AP with the same BSSID and switch to it - I thought it was a native function of the spec but I guess not.
Now GPS doesn't work this release isn't what i would call stable
EDIT: Went into a sense based ROM and did the ##GPSCLRX# code from the dialer app, then using msl reader put in the password and after this got a GPS lock in maps then went back to cm10 and GPS is working fine again...
A few days after working all these kinks out it seems to be much better... definitely a rough start!
EDIT 2: Stock camera app is having problems... Requires rebooting the phone but third party camera apps seem to work fine.. Also intermittently having an issue where the phone seems happy to have no data connection even though it's clearly available (won't get 4G, 3G or edge)...

The gist of my problem: Earlier today I successfully installed the latest CM9 from Joker (.0.7.0.0). Unfortunately, all wireless services other than WIFI were down (including SMS and telephone), and on start the phone produced an error about the com.android.phone force closing (or some such). I figured I had screwed something up, so I reflashed the clean stock firmware.
Since then (roughly 12 hours ago), I've been getting the stuck on the boot screen whenever I try flashing CM9. Relevant details follow:
Logcat doesn't help -- it tosses an error about the shell directory or file not being found (the exact error message escapes me, but I can reproduce it if need be).
I've tried formatting cache, data, and system, followed by a wipe (or two) on several occasions.
I've also tried flashing various versions of CM9 -- specifically .0.7.0.0 and .3.1. Both give the same result. I've also tried whatever version is in the KitchenSink v2.11 installer. Same result.
My CMW version is the 5.0.2.8. I installed it through RomManager (as opposed to the command prompt on Windows, which I did the first time when it quasi-worked). I've read that using v2 fixes this issue, but I can't find a live copy anywhere, so I haven't been able to try it.
Rather than going for a completely new install every time I bork something, I made a backup just after I finished unlocking and rooting the phone. I just restore that backup after each attempt, and it goes back to working fine on the stock Android firmware (3.whatever).
Any ideas? I think I'll try starting completely from scratch again and not using RomManager tomorrow, but if anyone can point out my error before then and save me a lot of -- hopefully not wasted -- effort, it would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Vash

Well, I got .3.1 working. Then tried to install .7 and it crapped itself again. Should I have cleared all the data/caches/etc. between the two?
Edit - I tried it again but this time cleared all the data between installs. It booted, but I got the same 'android.phone failed to start' message.
Edit 2 - Alright, I think I got it. I didn't clear anything between the two installs, but I installed each firmware twice without exiting recovery mode either time. It seems to be working (phone works, at least), although I'm not sure my 3G is working...

Joker's recovery is a zip file you can flash from 5.0.2.8 if you don't feel like hooking up to the computer and using fastboot. But 5.0.2.8 doesn't work right to flash roms.

Yep...already did that and got it to boot just fine. Now I'm struggling with poor reception. I've seen other users (different phones) mention radio upgrades, but I was extremely unfamiliar with the terminology. The phone seems to work okay, but I only get 1x reception for data.
Or were you actually suggesting to repeat the entire process?
Edit - Tried again, still no luck with 3G.

Before doing what i stated did you wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik)? Also, you still getting a forceclose upon boot or just crap signal? And are you on sprint or electrify?

I wiped everything. I can boot into the OS and my phone works fine, but my data rate is stuck on 1x (so crap signal). I'm on sprint.

well did you have 3g on stock? there's no reason it would go to 1x unless 3g is unavailable. the rom shouldn't cause it to go into 1x.

Yep. Despite popular belief, I'm not a moron =) I'm in the dead center of 3G availability for Sprint in my area, and with stock android I get perfect 3G reception. I've read reports of the same things happening to other people, but haven't found a solution yet. I restored to stock after making a backup to try updating the PRL. I'll update again when I find out if it worked or not.
Edit - Sprint just sucks, apparently. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225908
When I rebooted to stock I checked the radio status and sure enough, 1xRTT. Evidently I am a moron =p
There was something wrong with the phone afterall. To fix it, I did the following:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
You'll be presented with a menu. Go to Phone Information.
About halfway down the page, there will be a menu with a dropdown. Mine was set to CDMA. To fix the issue, I changed it to CDMA auto (PRL). I'm now receiving excellent 3G reception.

This is a ROM problem (I have this problem too) so don't worry about your device. I'd recommend switching to ParanoidAndroid (where WiFi works) and connecting to your network, then flashing back to CM11. If you care about data then make a Nandroid backup and after reinstalling CM do advanced restore and just restore data.
Step-by-step:
1. Download PA 4.4.2 (in the Original Android Development forums for this device)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Full backup
4. Wipe, and install PA as per the instructions on the original post in the PA thread
5. Boot into PA, set up, connect to WiFi
6. Boot into recovery
7. Install CM11 but don't wipe. This is a little risky but mostly you shouldn't have a problem, since you haven't done anything on PA . 99% of the time you can restore to a backup if anything goes wrong.
8. (Optional) In the recovery choose advanced restore and restore data ONLY. this will restore your original apps and shouldn't cause any problems since the apps are originally from the same CM11 environment.
Hope I helped.
I having wifi problem with cm11 and PA too. I've flashed many radio file but it didnt work. i can connect to wifi after flashed radio but it stop download after a while, althought it still connect to wifi

If this is your problem, and flashing a radio works for a while, then try more radios. There are a few lists of hybrid radios in the general area for the e970. Though, I doubt this is a radio problem as when the stock ROM is flashed WiFi works with pretty much any radio, so I find it somewhat weird that using a new radio fixes the issue for you.

I need more details. What do you mean by cannot connect? What happens? Please post a logcat of trying to connect.

Same is happening with me(CM11 M4)
when i turn on the wifi it scans n shows all the available networks.
when i select mine to connect, as usual it asks password.
after entering password; all that happens is it shows "saved" in wifi list.
nothing else happens.
i have tried connecting all types of wifi networks.
Also on the same line, i cant start the Wifi hotspot as well
after clicking on Portable hotspot it keeps on showing "Turning hotspot on..." for infinity.
I was also having wifi issues. For me, it was because my phone still had the ICS radios. Once I flashed the JB radios everything started working great. maybe that is your issue?
Operator: U Mobile (Malaysia)
Rom: 2.3.6(4.5.1.41.MB860.ATT.en.US) flash with CWM using fruit cake rom.
Baseband: N_01.77.36P
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9 a21`[email protected] #2
Status: Can make call and receive sms. Apn setting is good. Wifi and bluetooth also work fine. Only mobile data state is the problem.
Problem:
1.I got this Atrix last 3 week. When i put a sim card it cannot detect my data so i install TWEAKKER from Play Store and get the setting for my APN. Everything work fine.
2. After a week i unlock the bootloader, install Nottachtrix, and again using TWEAKKER to set my APN, have fun with lapdock (overclock it using faux kernal to 1.45ghz). Everything still work fine.
3. Last 5 days i start play around with Titanium backup and supercharged v6. I backup and remove system application that i think i dont need it. I end up with mess around with the system but since i already made a backup i just restore it to default and then i start notice i lost my data signal.
4. I reflash fresh nottachtrix rom using CWM but the data still disconnected. I try flashing other rom like ICS rom also same problem. And then i flash official rom using CWM (fruit cake method) and RSD method. Still no luck. But today i play around with HiAPN and i can connect to data again but it seem not stable. But i can receive Phone call and sms without problem.
5. I already check my sim card by put it to other phone and i got no problem with it.
Any suggestion what i need to do to make data work again normally?
Update 18 May 2014:
1. I reflash 2.3.4 rom using RSD. Mobile Network State still disconnect. I will buy a new sim with different operator to test either my phone got problem or is it the sim/operator problem. Old but powerfull phone. I hope i got change to use it as daily phone again.
Update 21 May 2014:
Already test with other operator also no luck. Flashing all the radio that i found also no luck. Guessing the hardware got problem but quit confuse because call and sms still can receive.

Not a smart advice, use it as last resource:
Find the radio version your phone have and flash it, or simply flash another radio. Be careful, tough as an incorrect version (not all radios work on every atrix) you may end with a nice hi-tech papeweight

I found all the radio in fruit cakes link except for D. Still no luck. Is it a problem with my phone? I can receive call and sms normally. Only data not work and i believe my APN setting is correct.
Already call my operator services and they also can't help. Today will try another sim card with different operator that i will borrow from my friend to check either i need to upgrade my sim or not.
Still hope to get any expert help from XDA forum
Any expert? I got iPhone and windows phone but nothing can beat this atrix+lapdock.

Hallo miogy,
this is a well known issue,
i am experience the same problem with my atrix 4G,
i recently flash the CM9 of CyanogenMod , (android 4.0.4),
before that i had the 2.3.4 (GB) - in this version my atrix had restart himshelf every day.
on the current version (CM9), i experiencig strange things with the Network.
this is not only us that experiencig that - it is a very common and wide .
its called RIL bug (RIL --> Radio Interface Layer),
my phone can work fine 2 or 5 ot 8 hours, and suddenly the data connection disconnected.
i even once had connected to a Mobile Carrier that is not mine.
as much as i understand till now, this RIL bug is caused of a bug in the Kernel, adn the best guys here in the XDA, are trying to solve it.
i am waiting to this solution very much, because this atrix 4g is great phone, and i like the CM9 also.
you can see for example this thread:

I have had nothing but pain and suffering since deciding to install CM 10.2 last night. I installed the latest stable version of CM 10.2.2 as well as the google apps pack and after several wipes (system, cache, data), it finally worked. The issue that I am not having is that it wont connect to the Verizon network.
I think the issue may be that in Mobile Network Settings>CDMA Subscription it is set to NV, and won't let me switch to RUIM/SIM. Another clue is that in the About Phone section, Baseband version is UNKNOWN. Any ideas?
EDIT: Ok, I updated to the latest CM version via the CM update process on the phone. looks like i am now on CM11 and i have network connectivity, though it is 1 bar of 3G. And now the google play store keeps throwing errors so i have to uninstall it.
I thought CM was a polished ROM that I could just install and go. I am now considering going with something else since I still cant get it working right.

You definitely want to be using CM 11! 10.2 is ancient at this point.
As for your problems. First, Sense based ROMs apparently show more bars for the same signal strength. To know if it is actually worse, you need to compare the numeric (db) signal strength. Second, did you also flash a kk gapps package?
I would recommend downloading the latest gapps-kk-* from http://goo.im/gapps and then in recovery do:
* factory reset
* format /system
* install cm 11 version of your choice (latest nightly or M8)
* install gapps
And see if that makes your life a little better.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reason i went with 10.2 is it was the latest "stable" version on CM's website. I wasn't sure what "snapshot" meant so i didnt do any of those. Then i eventually did download and flash the kk gapps but was still having issues.
I am following your steps above to start fresh again, though I was still having issue with the radio before though, so we will see if this helps.

Hello all-
Just flashed latest CM11 M9 ROM and love it so far. Only thing I noticed and not sure if its a bug or just something I'm missing, when I come off WIFI (either go out of range or turn off) I have no mobile data. It shows I have LTE but nothing until I reboot the phone. Once phone comes back I have cellular data but the issue will repeat once I go on WIFI. Am I missing something here or is this a bug? I did a full wipe prior to installing CM11.
