Has anyone been able to get AOSP or CM ROMs to work on Straight Talk? I'm good on Sense ROMs, but no data on CM 12. I've had a lot of issues just getting data working with them (it took a week and a few calls to get 4G working), and every time I flash something I tend to have more issues. I've seen suggestions of flashing a Sense ROM, updating profile, then restoring a Nandroid of a CM ROM but that didn't work for me. My next step was to write down all the settings in EPST and then enter them manually in CM 12 (since you can edit the APN) and see if that worked, but wanted to check first to see if anyone had had better luck than me before I tried it.

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.
Hi,
We have 2 Vibrant phones. 1 is on Paranoid Android 2.54 (via stock eclair, ICS Passion, Slim Bean 2.9 & 3.0) and works perfectly.
The second one was on ICS Passion for a long time and I have finally got around to (trying LOL) to update it.
Here is where the weirdness begins - Flashed PA 2.54 no problems, flashed and booted up, but no wi-fi, well no wi-fi icon, and it can find a couple of wi-fi networks belonging to my neighbours, but won't find my network, 2 rooms away. The network is obviously all good, I am sending this from my laptop through said network.
Obviously I need an internet connection to get through the phone setup, so I power down, throw the SIM back in and boot up only to find no cell data either.
Skip the google account setup and get to the home screen to check things further and I find:
Calls in/out work, and most things are running, but wi-fi won't co-operate, and nothing in the APN list? Baseband and IMEI all look normal, too.
Try to flash Slim Bean 2.9 as I put the zip on the phone at the same time as a fallback and I get EXACTLY the same thing...
Anyone able to shed any light on what would cause this? Anything else worth trying? I'd like to avoid Odin as it honestly scares me reading all the problems people on here have with it...
At this point I've tried flashing both ROMs a few times with exactly the same results, I also can't go back to the ICS nandroid as the partition setup has changed and the restore doesn't work...
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Cheers...
I ended up flashing a 4.2 ROM (slim 4.2 beta 1) and it made the problem go away, I'm guessing something in the 4.1 base was broken and not getting overwritten on new installs?
ROM seems pretty sorted for a beta, few minor things not working, but hopefully it gives us a clean upgrade path...
Thanks.
I had the same issue with Slim 4.2 Beta 2. If anyone has a solution other than flashing the modem, please post.
Weird. The phone I was having this problem with now has that ROM on it and is working 100%.
I have a suspicion that flashing a ROM that uses a different kernel is what fixed it for us. I guess it just overwrites/replaces more stuff?
Maybe try hellybean 4.2 and see if it makes a difference, and if it does flash back to slim 4.2 and see if the problem comes back?
I have installed slim and other ROMs but not had this issue. Currently on jellybam

The weird part is that every other Slim Bean has worked great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for beta 3.
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.
Hello,
My phone is Note 2 N7015 with TWRP updated
i was using Liquidsmooth 4.1.2 and decided to update it to 4.3.
After flashing I kinda lost signal. I was able to receive texts but i wasnt able to send any.
I had LTE but no GPS
I'm using TWRP the newest I believe
i take a backup at this point and tried to flash different roms to get full signal.
I also had a backup from 1 year ago, Jedi Rom. Which was working perfectly but not anymore.
with that touchwiz rom, still I have no signal
I just realized i can not flash every rom out there. I tried to flash Pacman for n7105.
For some realason with TWRP i'm not able to use every rom. Like Pacman, carbon and many others.
Right now, I'm trying to work Meanbean rom (touchwiz) and i stucks in setup wizard. Says please wait while we activite your phone. For 20 minutes.
I really do not know what to do,
please help me, thank you .
------
OKAY, i used my really old Liquid backup and its fixed now.
But i still want 2 answers if you can help.
How can i maintain signal after updating LQ or any other rom
also, how can i flash other roms to this device. TWRP always says fail in around 10 seconds
That happened to me as well when I went from CM11 to TW. Please make sure you have an IMEI number by pressing *#06#.
If my Droid Incredible 4G LTE is connected to Wifi, it disconnects from Cellular Data. When I leave where ever it is connected to WifI, it won't connect back to cellular data. I have to turn off Wifi, then reboot the phone. I haven't tried something like switching to Airplane mode, I will try that. Has anybody else seen this issue? The phone is on Straight Talk Veriozon network, so is using SIM card for 4G LTE and CDMA for voice.
Are you stock?
No. Probably would help to mention that. S-OFF, partitions swapped and rooted CM 1.2.1 FWIW, this was happening with CM 11.2 before the partition swap. It wasn't happening before I did S-OFF and flashed CM 11.2 but I was also living in a different location for several months. It didn't start until I moved to where I am now.
I would try to do a clean reflash and see what happens.
I will think about that but I did a clean install when I did the partition swap and flashed the new ROM. I'd rather not do that again and have to set the phone back up again.
Today it seems to be better, I moved from Wifi to out and about and it switched to LTE properly.

I may have to try the reflash after all. The problem's gotten worse and now as of yesterday and today a reboot of the phone isn't getting me cellular data back. This did not start until we moved to a temporary place where I get voice service but not data at home. So the phone spends a lot of time on Wifi and not in a place where it can get data. So I'm wondering if the Verizon network is somehow forgetting about the phone or somesuch. At my old house, it was connected to Wifi but the data network was always available. The phone is S-Off with a custom bootloader and recovery. Assuming I wanted to try, can I put the stock ROM back on it without undoing all that?

If you want to go to stock, you will have to reverse the partition swap.

That part I understand. What I should have asked was "if I want to go back to the stock ROM, do I need to undo the custom recovery, relock the bootloader, go S-ON, etc? Any other ROMS besides CM I might try? That could tell me if it is the ROM or not but, again I did not have this issue until I moved to an area where I can get voice, but no data.
You should be able to remain s-off. here are the stock packages if you don't have them, http://android.cmphys.com/stock-fireball/

Thanks. I will grab a stock ROM. I really like CM 12.1 (and the swapped partitions) though. I was able to get the phone back to cellular data this morning while I was on a chat with Straight Talk. Why a reboot worked then but not the 3 other times I have no idea. I'm also wondering what happens the next time this happens if I go into APN settings and change it to one that doesn't work, then change it back.
Over looking at the stock ROM downloads I see a link to this patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/93484/
The ROM I am running now was built on 05/26. I see a newer CM 12.1 ROM dated 06/12 that contains that patch so I will flash that ROM, probably next week. I'm on call this weekend and don't want to risk bricking the phone.
I'm running the 6/12 build and it seems happy. I only run my Fireball on WIFI since I switched to AT&T and have a Nexus 5 for my primary.

Ive thought about getting a new phone on a GSM network but where we are building our house I can't get a ATT signal there, so I'm stuck with Verizon.
