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.
I haven't found a single thread that has any information/files necessary to go back to stock on the 10.1 LTE tab. Does anyone have any of this information? Is anyone able to pull the stock radio from the LTE tab? I used this file "samgtab10.1_lte_root.tar.md5" via odin. Ever since i did, my tab doesn't get 4G/3G service anymore. Seems like it was the wrong radio in that odin file or something. Any help would be appreciated.

Not in this topic I had written. But as I wrote something that could help it - maybe you should do factory reset ??
Region?
Did you obtain the working handset from the same nation as the handset with the problem?
Which nation are you trying to connect from?

I'm having the same issue but, for what it seems, it should be a config file... try posting the question in the Ace-i's forum.. at least it's the same family model as the Ace-M (which I also own).
Maybe it has to do with CSC...

already post question but no one answered it
In case anyone is facing this issue, I resolved it by flashing an S5830C's NVRAM, it has to do with the NVRAM which contains the actual baseband (800/900/1800/1900 etc..), you can find it in the Bootloader package:

Hi, the file is in 7z because it's a whole firmware, but to fix the 3g issue in a S5830C/M you must use ONLY the Bootloader part of the flash, you'll know it because the tar part corresponding to it, has a file inside named like "HEDGE_NVRAM" and something else :silly: make sure to use the PIT corresponding to the cooperve, which you can find in the tutorial by @feetsonfire about how to recover from a brick.
Try first with Odin V3 1.84 if it doesn't work, try it with Odin V3 3.07.
There is no need for doing anything else! No recovery nor anything else related to it, just what I exposed in my post!

No need... Unless you want to do a factory reset lol :cyclops:
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.
Hello,
I've noticed something strange this past month. I was getting data disconnections and I could'nt figure out why. Each time I look at my phone, turning the screen on, mobile network (voice + data) is missing for a few seconds, and comes back.
Now I know that if I keep the screen on for a while (I tried more thant 1 hour), I don't loose the network, but if let the screen go to sleep I immediately loose the network (I don't receive whatsapp messages in background), and when I turn the screen on, it comes back.
Weirdly, when my phone could reach 4G, I had (almost) no disconnection. It only happens in a 3G, edge, or nodata zone.
I changed my carrier (I just moved from europe to New Zealand), and it doen't change the problem.
I'm using CM11-Nightly (sept) on a I9505. I tried installing an old nightly(from july), and it was really full of error messages, so I switched back to a recent nightly, but in the meantime I had no disconnection.
Thank you for your help

I don't know exactly where this option is, but it's for battery saving. You can choose that somewhere in your settings I think
I think that's true for Wi-Fi, but I never found it for network.
And now it seems that network won't come back if I don't go to airplane mode and back to normal mode.
I'm having the same problem, seems to mostly affect lollipop installs.
Did you find a solution?

No I didn't. It seems that somewhere in july 2014, CM11 included a new version of the modem. So every CM11 build after that and every CM12 build is affected (I don't know about other roms).
I read that it was the way the modem handled finding the best network method. With the previous modem (v5 ?) it tried to get LTE, 3G, etc... but now it fails when it fails to get the prefered network.
4 solutions:
- flash the modem (didn't try it, don't know how)
- You're supposed to be able to choose you're prefered network in the options and choose 2G/edge. Didn't work for me but I'm interested in your feedback.
- get an old version of CM11
- live with it (my current option :'( )
There is maybe another solution, I'm not an expert, just a desperate user.
Hey again, I did fix it for myself.
The modem is the problem (I flashed my modem, and my bootloader just to be re-up-to-date).
If you want to get lollipop for yourself you should do it, its not too hard
Its listed as Qustion 14 on this here page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762
I don't mind trying to give some pointers if you need help understanding how to do it, but I did this at 5am while sick so my memory of what I did is not 100%, never the less I would like to help if you need it.
Thank you for the advice (you came seeking for one, and ended up helping me ).
How did you choose which modem version to pick up ? the latest ? Do you have to do it after every CM upgrade ?
Edit:
I found the latest version from one of your links : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50965837#post50965837
Is the "Combined package - both modems in one flashable file." ok ?
And what does flashing the bootloader do ?
"What it does"... I am not 100%, I assume it initialize some part of the system, HW or kernel level, but I might be way off.
In any case I did use the dual modem pack to flash both "PHONE" and "PDA", another thread I asked in just replied to another user with the neccessity to flash the new bootloader aswell (dont know if the version numbers applies for you):
u must be using a 4.4.2 baseband and bootloader .. just a 4.4.2 baseband will not work .. once updated ur set

My question is on this page a bit down, and some replies a bit further down than that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735248&page=116
Tip: I had to save the PIT to a file (did it twice to be sure) with heimdall before using odin to flash (couldn't get heimdall to work for that part), all because odin would not play nice inbetween loading the PIT from device and flashing, this might not be a problem for you at all so it's just an FYI.
I managed to flash the modem & the bootloader. So far, no disconnection, so I'm quite happy.
Cheers
