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.

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

I'm looking for a way to get my Huawei M835 updated to CM7 or something more up to date than Froyo, but I need to be able to keep my data connection and MMS working on Cleartalk's network. What would be the best way to get CM7 or something like it fixed where it'll install with my current carrier's settings, such as the APN, baseband, etc? I'm not very experienced yet with ROM modding, so I'm unsure where to start, especially with this finicky phone which I've already had replaced twice.
The problem before is that nobody at cleartalk knows the APN settings, so after I tried out a few custom roms, 3G and MMS didn't work at all, and my baseband version had been changed by one of the roms I had tried. Neither Cleartalk nor Huawei have the stock ROM to flash the phone back to a stock Cleartalk phone, so I was screwed. This is the problem with obscure carriers.
Is there any way to extract that data, all the carrier settings, baseband, and other necessary data and slip that into a Gingerbread rom like CyanogenMod?
I know this phone sucks, but one of the Gingerbread custom roms that I played with before worked pretty well, but it messed up all my carrier settings, I didn't have voice or data connection, and was saying to insert UIM, mine's a CDMA phone.
tl;dr I really want Gingerbread but don't want to screw up another phone, need MMS and 3G working. What do?
hey guys
i have a hauwei m835 and i will like you to ask to get an official rom ics or ginger bread and ill like if you can ak to get roms too
So, I've flashed about 3 ROM's. Jelly bean's ROM, PAC-Man ROM and Team Carbon's ROM. Recently I just flashed Team Carbon's Nightly March 17 ROM build. After that, my 4G was completely gone and my single was acting weird. Wasn't showing Verizon Wireless in the toggles in the notification panel and wasn't getting a data connection at all, also wasn't getting any single bars for regular cellular connection (phone calls and text). But was able to place calls and such. I noticed this when I was about to turn on tether.
I've done my research, tried all possible solutions to the best of my knowledge and still, nothing. Has anyone had this issue before? I've seen one other post by someone who has the same phone and their thread didn't come to any resolution. There must be a fix. Can ROM's edit the sim card data? How can I force to activate when the phone won't let me? *228 won't let me.
I've already tried restoring to stock, factory reset from the stock settings and from TWRP (2.4.4.0). I have plenty of TWRP backups and tried them, but nothing seems to work. I'm betting the data on the sim was changed somehow and I know I did not do this intentionally. How would I?
I really do not want to call Verizon and have to get a new sim card, if they'll even give me a new one. Of course, I won't tell them I've been flashing ROM's and have unlocked my phone. But still.
[Edit] Corrently returning to stock via odin and am going to run a hard reset code. - Didn't Work. *2767*3855# doesn't work on Verizon Apparently.
I recently updated my phone's ROM to the Angry Bean ROM (Virgin Mobile version of Wild for the Night). Everything worked great (SMS, MMS, 4G, etc.), but then I received the "Low Storage Space" message. I hopped on the forums and found the WiMax fix zip and flashed it. It took care of my issue with the low storage space, but now I cannot receive text messages.
No matter what I do, I cannot get them working. I can send, I can send / receive phone calls, and I can flash back to a non-JB ROM and they start working again.
Any help would be appreciated

I have confirmed that this is only due to flashing the WiMax Zip (which has to be done). It works fine up until that moment. Then I have to flash back to a stock ROM to get it functioning again (then back to a JB ROM, where it works until I have to Flash the WiMax Log Fix).

did you flash the MMS fix? i know its built in but sometimes you need to just like the Wimax one.
Hello,
I got my Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545 JFLTEVZW) back in June of 2013. When I got it, there was some hubbub over the different bootloader versions, and it was recommended to lock the stock bootloader so OTA updates don't overwrite it. I am currently still on VRUAMDK.
Since then I've gone through a variety of different ROMs and Kernels, such as PAC-ROM, CM 10 & 11, SlimKat, and others. I haven't once gone back to TW. I am currently using the CM11 JFLTE (Non-carrier-specific unified build) M10.
Recently I've been having issues with my picture messages not going out or taking a long time to come in (Or not at all).
When I checked my APN info, which should all be Verizon APN's, imagine my surprise when I see Sprint APN's!
I've tried manually adding Verizon, and it doesn't matter what I try to add, nothing saves. I can remove all of the APNs and lock myself out of any access whatsoever, and when I reset to default all the Sprint ones come back. I can enable Airplane mode, pull out my SIM card and battery, and reboot my phone after putting them back in and see VZW APNs, but as soon as I take it out of Airplane mode Sprint comes right back.
My question is a two-parter:
First, why can't I add VZW APNs? Or any for that matter? Why do Sprint's keep coming back despite clearly having VZW APNs on my device?
Second, is it worth it for my to reflash stock and update my device to a more recent bootloader? I know I will lose root if I do, and I am a little apprehensive, but is it worth it?
Thanks for the help guys.
I do not recommend updating the bootloader at all! DO NOT UPDATE THE BOOTLOADER! Instead, I STRONGLY suggest you flash the Hyperdrive ROM. I was running AOSP kitkat and switched to Hyperdrive and have ZERO issues with ANYTHING.
I actually just flashed 4.4 Beanstalk with a new kernel and GAPPS and everything seems to be working fine now.
Only issue is now Hangouts doesn't show APN info at all, but I am definitely hitting VZW cell services. Weird.
