Help needed. No 3G after unlock - Streak 5 General

TIA for any inout.
This is my 2nd Streak. I got it from eBay and according to the original owner, it was all working ok. It came with Android 1.6 and I updated it to 318 and then to official 322 rom.
Last night I got it unlocked by unlockstreak.com all was fine except I can not get data access, checked and reset APN but still no luck. Tried 3 SIM cards and all the same, also oerformed a factory reset.
Can anyone give me some direction to test further?

Weird ROM Issues

So, I got this 6800 from a friend of mine along with a 6700 ( with a very bad battery ), figuring that I am going to develop software for 6.0 I went with the 6800 for the Rom Upgrade. I had the original Qwest Rom on here
Software Version 2.13.656.2
Firmware Version 1.39.00
I went ahead and followed the Ryan Mogul Cricket flash info ( yes i plan to flash this to cricket also ) however sadly before I installed his cricket ROM, i went ahead and followed the instructions for the NUERom2_5049 and after the flash ( done via laptop/activesync connection ), the phone seemed to be bricked. I tried every trick in the book from using the 1G MicroSD card that I have with the ROm on it ( considering the 4G wouldnt work at all ), and couldnt get anywhere.
I also tried flashing Sprint/Alltel/VZW Roms without success, I finally came across the Stock Rom ( Upgrade ) frm Qwest, ran it from Laptop, worked like a charm.
OK now for the questions... Here is some quick info about the new rom. It is Software Version 3.35.656.2, and the Firmware Version is 3.37.20 . At this point I am considering a couple of options.
1. leave the working rom on here and just play with the registry, settings, software, etc.. to get my goal accomplished.
2. Flash this thing over to Ryans Cricket Rom for Mogul ( Hey Ryan if you read this... Is that compatible with the Qwest Mogul?) and go ahead and start the service.
3. Custom Rom, and find a way to get the Cricket info in there.
Also I am using PRL1039 from CK right now, working like a charm so far, I am also wondering if this unit will work on cricket as is if I change some settings.
Just a few things im trying to figure out right now. Along with the ability to get the device to become a Portable Hotspot/ Wireless Adapter ( I now finally have this working as an internet connection....Laptop to PPC via USB Cable, PPC to Netgear Router via WiFi, and im online! Thanks a bunch for anyone with any suggestions, I look forward to seeing what I can do with this device. Also I have the SPL 1040, should I chance it for Cricket?
Thanks in advance!
First thing you want to do is re-do your PST settings to Cricket as the stock ROM changed all of that. Including unlocking your MSL/SPC code to all zeroes and loading a Cricket PRL on there. Follow my Cricket PST settings thread for that. Then you want to remove your memory card and boot up your current ROM into windows mobile and connect to active sync. Make sure its connected you should be able to access the files on the device through your computer and sync icon in taskbar will be green.
Now flash the unlocked bootloader Olipro2.40 exe. You can find that in my htc unlock tools directory on my share site, link provided in my PST settings thread.
After that is all said and done you can flash any Custom ROM including mine. If you use my Cricket ROMs all you have to do is activate the data connection and enter your [email protected], password cricket, blank domain, check save password. Done.
If you use someone elses NON cricket ROM you can always use my Cricket WAP or WAP and Arcsoft CABs to set up the Cricket information for you. Hope this helps.
already redid the spl stuff, still cant seem to get the msl back to 000000 but i do have the correct one. Just got the unit working as a wireless adapter so thats a plus, i need to get this thing over to cricket next, so I can get my account set back up. right now using Skype for phone service sicne I have WiFi. I will try your rom again, Ryan , as soon as I get things going with this again. Thanks for the tips, they seem to be coming in very handy ( been googling your posts for help with this device ) I know the 6700 inside and out but the 6800 seems to be a new dog right now, been playign with it for a while, got alot figured out, but still more to learn. Thanks again
ok just to update a bit, ive made a few slight changes, got a few new accessories, and tweaked out a few settings, however, all this and i still havent gotten the MSL back to 000000. Any ideas at all, tutorials, walkthroughs, hits, tips, tricks, or otherwise step-by-step directions so i can get that back to 000000 insead of the 6 digit code it is now, then maybe *2/228 will work and i can actually use the data features. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Help With SIM and ROM

Hi,
I recently rooted my Samsung GS4-i337m variant.
I had a SIM that worked pretty well. It used to go out a bit, but a reboot would work fine to get it working again every few days.
After everything was fine, and working stable, I decided to install a ROM.
I installed PA, and verified that it was the correct ROM, for my model.
It worked quite well for a few days. The SIM had the same problem as before, but a reboot would work fine, like before.
Today, I had time to get my SIM changed, and after doing so, after rebooting the phone, it immediately refused to use the SIM card. It did not give a warning, but simply said "No Service." After trying to go through multiple settings to no avail, I decided to restore to an older backup, from my stock ROM.
I tried this, got an error, and had to stay with Paranoid.
I still have the same problem.
So, are there any solutions to this?
Any app or setting to fix this?
The phone is not unlocked.
tl;dr:
Phone used to work fine on PA, and after changing SIM, it rejected the SIM. Help.

[Q] Voice: out of service. S5-G900F

I'm using S5-G900F, its a Hongkong version, and I'm currently in UK with giffgaff. last month I tried few new rom and then I can't use voice service any more. However I still have internet. Some detail below:
APN
1. I 100% sure its not an APN problem
IMEI
1. IMEI seems ok, start 4 digit 3524****
SIM card related
1. At first I assume it's a SIM card related problem, I tried 2 SIM with different ISP, neither work.
2. Also, I put those 2 SIM on my iphone4 to verify that the SIM is good, and both card work.
3. I also checked the SIM card cable, I put one piece of paper above the SIM to tight the contact, still doesn't work.
Phone related
1. Before I brought the phone, I had check the bands it supports, and it is capable to used here. And the phone work perfect (well, with stock firmware its really slow) before everything happen.
2. Since I brought this phone in HK and now I'm in UK, I tried to flash both latest UK and HK firmware (lollipop), neither work.
3. I also tried only flash baseband from that two firmware plus one old-version baseband. none work.
4. For those flash mentioned above, I do full wipe.
Rom
The rom I tried list below (in time sequence)
1. XtreStoLite (the BL/baseband is extract from Brazil stock firmware. After that problem occur, but I didn't realize)
2. CM12 (this two are all from this forum)
3. TGY-G900FZHU1BOA1-20150120092320 (HK stock firmware, 5.0. Try to recovery the voice)
4. BTU-G900FXXU1BOB7-20150223084756 (UK stock firmware, 5.0. Still trying)

Was the phone service working for you before you tried a new ROM?
I have the same issue. Can't make or recieve calls. Internet is working though.
When you try to call someone, do you get 'call ended' message almost immediately after dialing out?
Also, when you go to phone / settings / additional settings (or more settings) - does the 'network or sim card error' pop up?
Can't figure this out... Hopefully someone would be able to point us to right direction, other than to replace it
And of course I did a factory reset, new roms, modems, everything there is to try. nothing helped
could it be because of Region Locking? Maybe it's locked again after flashing?. I want to buy this phone but I am not sure if it will get region locked again after it gets updated or custom flashed.

Yes, before I flash those ROM everything goes well. I'm currently using CM12 so I don't have the setting you mention. But anyway I never seen that pop message before. I guess the SIM card work good as the phone can connect to the internet (not wifi, cellular internet).

Defy - CM11 back to factory

Long story short. Picked up a used Defy locked to Telus (Canadian). Rooted phone. Installed TWRP. Installed CM11 as per this site, took a while to find all the needed files, but it works. A little slow, but works and thanks to everyone who made this happen.
My problem is now the sim is still locked to Telus. I need it unlocked to use on Wind. (same system as TMobile) I tried soft unlock but without a telus sim to start from it will not work. Unlock code will only work on factory phone or so it seems. How can I get this phone back to factory or close to factory?
I am a dumbass and didn't backup original rom (sbf file). I think i should be able to get away with a Tmobile sbf but I can not wrap my head around getting the phone to take a stock froyo rom? I believe the problem is ext4 vs ext3 and I have tried everything I could find reverting but not have had any luck.
Can someone provide a NOOB like me some direction or a link to still active links to the needed files.
Thank you
Steve
