I tried loading the Voodoo Lag Fix on my TMO Vibrant then my phone bricked! I loaded the stock rom back onto it and got it going again. Everything is working great.....only my phone wont connect to 3g anymore. I can go onto Wifi and I can make and recieve phone calls.
Do you think there is a system file that I lost?
Im not quite an expert on this so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys!
try going into settings>wireless and networks>mobile network and select wcdma
Ive tried GSM and WCDMA. neither work. Any other ideas?
are you sure that your place has a 3g coverage?
I had a issue like this when I did a test run on z4mod and my market wasn't working so I flashed back the stock vibrant rom with odin then I used kies to do the ji6 update then I rooted and flashed voodo and im back up and running my issue was with market for 2 days I couldn't download apps this fixed my issue good luck.

So I got my Epic last week, and just flashed my first custom rom. That being, quantum rom 2.0.0. Since installing any DK28 rom, 4G has not worked -- It worked before I updated to DK28, and it doesn't work on Quantum or on the DK28 stock rom provided by ACS. I flashed the modem using the Odin method posted in the thread for the ACS stock, and i don't appear to be having any issues with any other services (GPS, 3G, wifi all work fine). What is my next step for troubleshooting? Can I just flash an old rom (DK17 or DI18) without Odin'ing an old modem?
UPDATE: After using the dial code *#147852# and running the Wimax DM tool, I get the error "Modem is in VI Mode" under MAC state. Any idea what this means?
how do you know 4g doesn't work does it turn on?
When i turn on 4g, I can't connect, and when i check on the 4g status under Settings -> wireless & networks -> 4G, the status stays as initializing and never changes.
i wasn't getting any 4g at home (i used to get a faint signal there), but i'm getting it at work now. So perhaps the 4g radio is just not as sensitive w/ 2.2.1. Who knows. Maybe try a location where u used to get really good 4g service.

When you turn on your 4G, do you see any available networks? Does the status sit at initializing? It just seems like if my radio was working, it would do something other than halt on "initializing"
My 4g won't connect and I hard reset the device....any tips? luckily I have wifi...at work.
IF you dont care for the deodoxed and prerooted for you stuff..I'd go back to stock and do teh update.zip method or just flash it with odin...I kinda had same issue with DK17 and flashing the DK17 modem...my 4g could not connect...went back to stock when DK28 came out, tested 4g and it worked..then flashed DK28 via the update.zip method and 4g works better then ever..its nto faster but before I only could get 4g in 2-3 places in my house..now I can get 4g in 90% of my house
is that the only fix with odin? I'm stock not rooted.....

I'm having this exact problem
Just Odin'd the stock image, and no dice for 4G there either.
Works well on viper DK28 3.0. GPS has been working great for me too. The best it has ever worked. The developer correct the few 4g issues his rom did have at release.
4g has worked on dk28 for me since my first flash of it. Matter of fact I'm on it now indoors while posting this.

For those with working 4g, what happens when you start your 4g radio in a place where you have no service? Does the status say "Initializing" and does the status bar icon stay gray?

u wanna input that code, *#147852# and go to WLANMacAdress, write that down, go back in to *#147852# this time go to wimax linetest, put the MAC address you wrote down in the WRITEMAC box in caps and no : between, then tap on the WRITEMAC button, device should freeze up for a little, then tap Write EEPROM, device should freeze for a little, then reboot the phone and turn on 4G
I still have no 4g, its stuck at initializing! GPS works fine and is very accurate but 4g is fubared.....

Odin to DI18, achieve GPS LOCK, Restart, Turn off again, Odin to DK28 using the Tarball. Use latest one click root. Then proceed to install any rom you want. Viper rom works with both GPS and 4g for me. Those were my EXACT steps.
I'm still having the 4g issue any ideas?

4G is extremely random in my area. Some days I'll get a signal, other times I won't. I think it has something to do with Venus being aligned with Uranus, the moon with the stars, and what color socks I'm wearing.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue. I installed a DK28 ROM and noticed 4g stopped working. I went back to Stock and 4g still didn't work. It tried to connect and would fail. While trying to connect to 4g with any DK28 rom, it would attempt to connect, phone would momentarily freeze and pulse vibrate, and then reboot itself over and over until I turned 4g off.
I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?
Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.
Alex
hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.
Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6
Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?
Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex
I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..
I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.
hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.
hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?
just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.
Dave.
I bought a T-mobile Tab
I was successful at:
Gaining Root Access
Flashing Clockwork Recovery
Now, every time I try to flash a rom with heimdall, it pushes all the updates to the tab, and it will get stuck on reboot.
I did a full factory reset (from samsung's recovery because apparently Clockwork got deleted), and it appears that the Euro rom is on the tab now because there is a phone app functioning, and it is stuck on only Edge data.
I have tried flashing almost all the GSM roms I could find on xda and I cannot get one of them to work sucessfully without locking up at the boot screen.
I do not care about the freakin phone capability I just want my 3G back. Can someone direct me to a simple... non-euro rom where I will be able to get my 3G working again becuase I am tired of ending up at the same darn place over and over again.
Have you tried Roto modem switcher? I don't use Tmobile but I thought that will allow you to switch between EDGE & 3G? Check out Dev forum.

yess!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. I was having so much trouble for so reason, and just kept getting more and more frustrated.
My 3G works on this Euro rom now. I am still looking for one that doesn't have the phone since I cant really use it anyways, but at least my tab has its functionality back again.
i too wanna know if theres any roms without the phone functionaly that has ext4. I have tmobile and i cant use the phone functionality on it.
im currently running trigger 3.2 with nothing else (no special kernels or themes or anything) and recently I have not been able to establish an internet connection over 3G. I have only been able to do it over wifi. I went to the tmobile store and the guy told me that since it was rooted he couldnt help me but to ask you guys instead. so heres my question:
is this problem because of my phone or because of my rom? im hoping its just the rom so i can flash a diff one but im wondering if anyone has a solution to it or anything like that.
Wireless&network> Mobile network> APN. Make sure T-Mobile's detailed are checked, as in there's a green dot next to the APN. Reboot afterwards.
Try reflashing just the modem first before you resort to a whole ROM flash. KB5 is really picky with sending/recieving data on my Vibrant, and I had to flash the KA6 modem to get it to work well.
I had an issue with Alliance rom. It went from wifi to 4g and I lost the prl and other stuff (said unknown). I only had wifi.
I was able to Odin back to stock. It took like three times as it would not move past the activation screen.
Now, on stock, I flashed TWRP recovering using ODIN, then used the CF root from Odin also. Phone restarted and while I have the 4g logo, I have no phone and the information is missing again (PRL). I do get wifi.
I just used Odin to reflash stock and it is still doing it. I also used the imei tool to restore what I had backed up (EFS). Can anyone help? What is going wrong?
Edit: Phone restarted with root BUT now I cannot make calls (it says roaming) and I am missing the prl and other things again. HOWEVER, I can use wifi, and 4g and no texting also.
If anyone has a clue I'd like to know, thanks.

I actually could not find the stock modem. I DID solve it.
1.) Odin back to stock. It will freeze on the activation screen.
2.) Remove sim card after shutting down.
3.) It will get past that and connect with wifi.
4.) THEN clock on roaming to turn it on with sim in.
5.) Phone will then contact US Cellular to "activate and program." It will finish after a few minutes.
6.) Restart and enjoy
In case this happens to anyone else. Thanks for the help (lol). I've had a Droid Eris, HTC DNA, and a Droid Bionic.
