Ok so ##775# no longer works and I'm away for the weekend where I only roam and service is God awful... I'd like to flash another prl for the weekend. Any ideas? I don't have a gb rom or backup to use on me either. If I'm screwed, then oh well and I can wait until I'm back home.

i was wondering the same thing a little bit ago. ##775# doesnt work on ICS..which sucks. hope someone can answer this one.
Have you tried to change the EPST.apk that has the ##775# option?
Have you looked into using the older epst.apk with more options? I believe the one from the EVO 4G?
Dang, I'm too slow... DarkManX4lf beat me lol
Actually yes, I did try an older epst. Doesn't work. I actually just downloaded a sense 3 rom over night (speed under 100 kbps) and crossed my fingers it didn't time out. Flashed that, installed my older epst app, installed my prly, and went back to ics... Still curious about an easier way but hey I got it going. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I use QPST, just hook up phone and push prl (after you setup QPST). but that seems to be the easiest way for me...

Don't you need a pc for that? That's what I would have tried if I had access. But thanks.

Been looking for solution myself on ICS, but as you found out EPST does not work. Since I don't always have access to a PC that has all of the QPST stuff installed I just load up a back up of a GB ROM and change it, then go back to my ICS ROM.
First post, I've been lurking a while so first off thanks to the xda community for providing great tips, instructions and insight. Now I need some more individual help. I'm sorry for the long post but it will help explain the problem.
I've had my TB for a while (had it and the SIM replaced a few times too) but I'm having huge data issues. I've googled the heck out of it and still haven't found a solution that worked. The data worked great back on Froyo but on GB and ICS(Thanks liquid and jester) data sucks the big one. I've tried it in several cities (Knoxville, Miami, Lexington, Louisville, St. Louis to name a few) and still no dice. Here's what I've tried:
##778 trick
Replaced the SIM once on another TB a while back
Removed FB
Changed to many different ROMs
Tried all kinds of radio combos (currently on .19 radio)
Signing in to My VZW
Pulled the SIM and let it sit for a while
I really don't want to unroot and go back to Froyo but I'm about to give up. Anyone got other ideas?
Have you checked to see if something is wrong with the little golden tabs on the back of the phone under the battery cover?

This is going to sound really dumb...What SHOULD they look like? I've thought about that once but since I've got nothing to compare it to I never really gave it any more thought. They don't look funky or anything.
Well they should be shiny and not broken at all. I have heard of people getting corrosion on them or being broken. Something you may try is pulling the tabs up very carefully with some tweezers or a pen knife. The phone antennas are on the back cover of the phone and those gold tabs need to make contact on the pads on the cover for you to get signal.

They look fine. No signs of corrosion or damage. I called VZW and after talking to them and Assurion for a while they're going to send me another phone. I read somewhere that they're out of TBs and some guys were getting a Rezound. :fingers crossed:
Back in the days of my BB Storm there was certain was that worked better than others (I think it was ones that were made in Mexico). Is there something like that for the TB?
I think some tbs were made better than others. I had the data issue you had for a month and then out of nowhere it was normal.

Yeah I'm starting to get that impression. Do you know if anyone has tried the new leaked radios on stock GB? I downloaded them from the other site, checked the md5 and they don't even load for me. I guess maybe they're only for ICS.
If they send me another TB, I'm rooting right off (after downgrading) and throwing jester's ICS on there with the leaked radios. That ROM is the best I've ever used.
What do you mean they aren't loading for you? Are you putting them on the root of your sd card, renaming them to PG05IMG and flashing them in fastboot?

Yeah I put them in the root of the card and flash them as I've done every other radio. They start to load, go through the check process and it returns right back to fastboot. I unrooted and flashed stock so that I could return it, I've flashed radios at stock before so I thought it wouldn't matter. Do you think that has anything to do with it?
If you're s off it should flash. Are you sure the md5 sums are right? Also, try clearing caches first and then flash them. It sounds like a bad download. I honestly would try downloading from a different source and check the md5 again because it sounds like you may end up bricking if you keep trying your current file.

In a earlier post I think I mentioned that I'm running it stock, s-on. I unrooted so that I could exchange it but I'd love to have working data the rest of the day or at least experiment while I'm bored at work. lol I love getting paid to sit around and be bored. Yeah I may try downloading it again. I checked the md5 before I tried flashing it and it lines up with the hash that the uploader posted.
I really appreciate all the help. It's frustrating as heck dealing with a phone that doesn't get consistent data. I have to actually got to sites on my computer to read? Crazy talk!
I guess I missed that you were s on. I don't think the radio will flash s on unless you can get it in the entire ruu. If you're already unrooted I would just return it.

Cool, thanks for the info. Maybe if I get a working one my tweaked framework-res.apk will work for Jester's ICS and I can send it to him to try. I think I was making progress on the whole APN thing but it was hard to tell with the TB I had.
I'm having terrible 4g issues. i got a replacement thunderbolt a little while back and flashed eternity which im not too happy with on there. but i never flashed a new rom because i was told that the new radios on the most current hardware would supprt it. sure enough it did but the 4g doesnt work like its supposed to. just goes in and out and stuff
since i'm not too good with radios i need to know which one would be the best to flash. and why if someone doesnt mind explaining it to me. thanks!

Are you currently running the most updated 605.19 stock radios?
You ARE if you go to settings, about phone, software information, more, and the baseband version reads 1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
If these are not the numbers you see, flash these radios from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24992678
If these are the numbers you see, then it should be working properly. If not, you may have installed an older version of Eternity. Check to make sure you flashed the most updated one.
Or the 4G in your area may be simply going in and out. Try flashing another ROM to verify this.

I just did the LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR3
and have no data now. Im trying to determine what the best radios are for this. does anyone have ideas?
The .19 radios works best for me. Have you tried toggling data on and off or putting it into airplane mode for a minute and taking it back out.

.19? i guess i dont understand
605.19 is the name of the radios. Not the entire name but the last 5 digits of the radio name are usually what we go by.

cool man well i dug threw the thread and found the radios that other people flashed. and ran those threw the phone. still have sketchy 4G but if i keep it on cdma only and run permanent 3g its smooth, just not super fast like i wish.
does anyone know a specific LTE only radio i can flash in that they have had success with running the ICS Roms?

I'm pretty sure the LTE radios they used were from the 2.11.605.19 OTA. They may have flashed a different CDMA radio, but Idk. The leaked LTE radio causes most phones to reboot a lot.
Here's a link to the combo radios though. I suppose it never hurts to try them out... the outcome varies by phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30974567
But it is still recommended to use the 2.11.605.19 radios... which I posted a link for them above.

Cool bro, thanks alot. its funny you mentioned the autoreboot, the phone did it once to me already.
I will experiment with LTE radios and keep flashing until i find something that works good.

I've even had luck with the old 2.11.605.9 radios.
Try them if you'd like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396408
Just be careful flashing different radios. If you flash a bad radio, it can brick you.
Also, I was always told to never flash the same radio that is already installed. So if you flash the .9 radios and they are currently installed, don't flash them again until you flashed a different radio.

I just hope that at some point, he can add the full floating window kit. It is awesome. I am not asking for anything, just hoping. I love synergy, and glad it is making it to our devices.

I tried flashing the rom last night. I picked the full wipe option and it was stuck at 10% for 25 minutes. I remember on the S3 Synergy rom the full wipe option took a long time and that's why I waited so long. I didn't have time to flash with a regular wipe. I'll test out more tonight.

The new minitab rom does the floating window app better than any other rom ive seen. Only a few issues but theyre worth tollerating.
It looks like a nice rom, but synergy has a minimize button, which you can use just like windows, or linux. It is only on the s3 right now, but it is the one option that makes multiwindow beast.

As soon as I see a stable Synergy Ron in the VZW Note 2 development, I will flip my lid. Was my daily driver with my GS3. They're a great number of solid stock TW roms currently for the GN2 but have been waiting for a good rom that adds many of different options/choices such as theirs.
My buddy runs it on his s3 also.I will check it out. I flip from aosp to tw and back like every other day.

I flashed the sprint version of synergy then persus 36 vzw kernel lastly the vzw convert zip from scotty and it booted up fine
I was able to make and recieve calls but only major issues is I don't have data working
When I check the phone status it'll show my number and ime but it doesn't recognize the carrier its listed as unknown
Any way to get data working?
I also tried the sprint jelly bomb rom and most of the things I've tried works. Calls, bt, text , data , cameras.
1 major thing is that data is very slow even tho I have lte compared to other vzw roms I've tried.
Very sweet rom too but can't stand the data being too slow
