I really need some assistance with some of the settings for CyanogenMod. I just got done flashing the ROM and everything went smoothly, but there seems to be a problem with my data/coverage. The phone is in roaming mode and I can't get the data to work. I have everything configured correctly I think, but I can't get the data connection to work. There is no indication that it is on even though I have it checked. So I can't get on the internet unless it's through WiFi and I can't send/receive picture messages since I have no data.
Would really appreciate some assistance since I really like this ROM but I'm paying for data and it seems I can't use it /:
Thanks for any advice

Sounds like you may not have done a full Wipe/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and wipe dalvik cache before you flashed. You perform these steps from ClockworkMod recovery before you flash the ROM.
Another thing that could have happened is that you had the USB cable plugged in when you entered ClockworkMod to flash the new ROM. Once you copy the new ROM to your SD card you should unplug the USB cable and then reboot into ClockworkMod.

The bold is something that is so common and so miniscule that many users often overlook it but it can cause weird things to happen when flashing ROMs and other things...
Also, @OP dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone information and scroll down...what option do you have for "Set preferred network type"?

Anytime bud, just trying to help you The moral of the story was, I read your post and that was the first thing that came to mind and you got all salty, no problem though i understand you're frustrated. I would be to. As blake posted, did you happen to have your USB cable plugged in while you were booting into clockwork to flash your ROM and did you also clear cache, dalvik and data? I'll assume you cleared everything since you probably followed a tutorial verbatim on this site or some other site but the USB thing, while so small, can actually cause so many issues...no hard feelings bro
Also, please see above post for the preferred network type information...

I actually just downloaded the zip on my phone and moved it to the SD card with Astro, is this a problem? So I wasn't ever connected to a computer.
And I'm positive I did the full wipe.
The preferred network type says, WCDMA preferred

Yessir, that's what I've got as well...I'm assuming that you actually had service when you were on a non-cyanogenmod ROM?
1. Where did you download the ROM from? Was it from one of the links in attn1's thread?
- i.e. one of the two links supplied here?
2. If so...If I were you I would, redownload the ROM, move it out of your downloads folder (i.e. from /sdcard/downloads to /sdcard/) and wipe data, cache, dalvik and reflash...
3. Again, if I were you, and #2 didn't fix anything I would go back to a sense ROM and see if the problem is still existant. If it's not then idfk what to tell you LOL...but if it is then its probably hardware related...I would also flash BACK to the CM ROM after going back to the sense...
I know seems like a lot of stuff but if you're dedicated to having CM then you might just have to bear with the bs ;(

I got it working after re-flashing it!!

Phone: Tmobile Hd2
Base Rom: Energy dec 30 I think
radio: 2.12
magldr: latest
clockwork mod: latest
NAND rom: MDJ cyanogen mod 7 ver. 2.5 gingerbread
Hi, I've tried basically everything. Tried everything I could find for variations for apn settings,
turning on and off data, turning on and off airplane mode, turning on 2g only, hard reset, reflashing the zip rom (works fine when I go back to last rom) and my data worked for a minute when I reflashed the zip rom. It no longer works. I scoured xda and could find nothing!
Anybody have this problem/know a fix for it? Greatly appreciate the help, I like the rom a lot, so I don't want to have to go back to the old one!
*****
Every now and then it seems it will let me load google, and then it won't let me load any other pages. It displays that 3g is up,
but as I said, its not working.

Could it be my radio?
How can you have energy as base rom and you are using magldr?

The very first splash screen you see is not touched by Magldr installation, so it remains as it was. As for your WM ROM, it's gone. Completely.
Anyway, check your APN settings against the settings found on this page...
http://www.unlocks.co.uk/gprs_settings.php
Maybe there is a discrepancy?
As for letting you load Google every now and then, I think that's probably a cached version of the page. Whenever I've had data problems, I've always ignored my home page and tried a different page to see if I do actually have a data connection. I usually just click one of the links at the top of Google (Images/News etc..)
Tried the APN, can't get it to work, period. Tried the apn, tried turning on and off data, on and off for airplane mode, resetting, and im not sure what else. Do I need to clear my cache and data and reflash? can anything else possibly be the problem? could it be that I forgot to flash DAF before clockwork mod?

I doubt that CWM has anything to do with this. It really does sound like the APN settings in the ROM you installed are just wrong. Did you actually check against the ones on the page I linked you?
Other than that, I can only suggest trying a different ROM. Clearing data out before flashing is irrelevant, as flashing will itself clear everything like that.
I manually re-entered all the apn data MULTIPLE times. And tried several variations; and for that link you sent me, Operator: - T-Mobile (Internet)
GPRS APN: - internet2.voicestream.com
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 216.155.175.105, 216.155.175.106
thats what it tells me for tmobile data, and I cannot find anywhere in apn settings that say's dns, which makes it all the more confusing.
I tried the settings that another person posted that worked fine on the last rom I was on; wifi ironically works (it didn't on my last rom) and now my data doesnt work.

If you've tried the exact same settings on 2 different ROMs and it works on one but not the other, then I'm afraid the only answer is that there's a problem with the ROM. You could search the thread where you got the ROM from, and ask in there if it's not already answered. The only other alternative is to give up with that ROM and try a different one.
Sorry mate, but that's all I can suggest.
Had same issue
Hi, I had the same issue when I updated, using CWM, from MDJ's v. 2.3 to v. 2.5
I spent almost a day to understand that probably during the flash something went wrong and at the end I decided to flash the non-CWM rom, and magically all my connections started to work again.
( I did some debugging of the problem because I couldn't even get root (before the update everything was fine) and I had to manually fix permission and at the end I discovered that busybox was broken ( continuous seg faults) )
Just so it's clear, this issue can't be related to CWM. CWM is something that you can boot into, instead of Android, but it does absolutely nothing - doesn't even run - when you boot into Android. The only thing I can think that may be relevant is that I know a ROM has to be made "ready" for CWM. Maybe something in that process is causing a problem. You guys really should make the ROM devs aware of this, if you haven't already, in order to stop the problem.
Data works for a lot of people from what I got from the thread for the rom I'm using. Which is all the more maddening, not knowing if I did something wrong or what. Could it be possible that my data is not working because my flash memory is not partitioned?

I'd expect the majority of people using the same ROM to have no problems with data, or the ROM simply wouldn't be available as it would be useless. I really don't think that partitioning would have anything to do with this problem.
What ROM is it? Could you post a link to the thread?

Okay, I can see quite a lot of people on there saying that they're having the exact same problem as you, but no-one can offer any help, so I can't see a solution.
The only thing I can suggest is that you use a different ROM. For some reason, that one just isn't going to work for you.
so Im on a mytouch 4g running virtuous affinity, latest version, and Im having some problems that others dont seem to be having. my phone is having some issues sending and receiving texts and I cant figure out why.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
yes I did a full wipe before installing and have tryed it again but still does it
do you have wifi on or no? if yes, is your mobile data enabled also? might want to check your APN settings to see if theyre correct too

Is it possible that you aren't truly doing a full wipe? Leftovers from a previous rom can stay behind in various partitions and cause problems.
I have found that installing a new rom from ROM Manager is not the best method - I prefer installing from recovery. I am far from an expert, but I'll explain what I know about using recovery to do a full wipe. Please forgive me if you already know how.
Full wipe from recovery:
Booting into recovery
You can boot into recovery through the ROM Manager app, or from the power menu of some roms, or you can get to it from hboot. To get into hboot: with the power off hold both the volume-down and the power button until the display lights up. Then use the volume key to move the selection to "recovery" and use the power button to select it.
Now that you're in recovery
If you use CWM (ClockworkMod) recovery, you'll need to choose 'wipe data/factory reset' (which formats the data and cache partitions), then from the 'mounts and storage' menu choose 'format system', then from the ‘advanced’ menu, select 'wipe dalvik'.
If you use 4EXT Recovery Touch, from the 'wipe | format' menu choose 'format all partitions' and 'wipe dalvik cache'.
The above steps perform a full wipe, without affecting your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you've never installed a rom from recovery, the following might help:
Installing (flashing) a rom from recovery:
From CWM recovery:
Choose 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot system now'.
From 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Choose 'install from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot now'.

Also, I wouldn't recommend restoring system settings (using Titanium Backup or other methods) when you are switching roms. System settings from a different rom can also cause all sorts of issues.
If doing a full wipe does not fix your problem, you may try flashing a different kernel. My personal favorite for Sense roms like Affinity is TDJ's demonspeed kernel, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214489.
Hope this helps!
yeah this is how I usually do my roms, i dont install them from rom manager. and so im not really sure whats going on

Out of curiousity have you tried a 3rd party app, such as Handcent or GO SMS, to see if one of those works? I did manage to corrupt the stock messaging app once so that it couldn't send messages, but using a 3rd party app still worked fine.
This might help you to determine where the problem lies.
cant figure it out...

I'm not very experienced with misbehaving phones like yours, but if you've flashed different roms, radios, and kernels...
Assuming that you did all of these things properly, then I tend to think it is either a network issue where you live, or a problem with your phone's hardware.
Good luck!

haha thanx, I just think its weird that it started happening out of nowhere. it works fine when I restart the phone then starts doing it again in a short period of time
mine would do that from time to time, and it all but quit after i changed the radio image, but then again, i can't leave a rom on my phone longer than 2 days...lol as far as messaging and being able to send/receive, i had more problems out of mine completely stock than i ever did after a radio/rom flash
how did you fix the issues?
I think he said that flashing a different radio fixed it for him.
hmm tryed that already
Hi there,
I'm kinda embarassed to ask, cause I think this MUST have been answered already - but seriously, I can't find it >.<
the latest nightlies (3/25) caused my find5 to be unable connect to any Wifi networks (it found the networks, but wasn't able connect..),
so i wanted to check if I messed sth up, or if it was just the nightly and decided to revert to an older version. However in doing so
I think i messed up a lot since some apps were displayed at beeing not installed, the play store didnt display any apps, not even the ones
installed ect... (wifi was working again btw.)
What I did was wiping cache, dalvik, system and flashing the older version downloaded from the omni rom website and wiping dalvik/cache again.
The uninstalled apps (which were still displayed) and the weird play store persisted when i went back to 3/25.
Where did I mess up? .. Sorry to bother.

Did you wipe your data partition? That is where your apps are located. If you have corrupted apps, that's where I would look.
But, of course, before doing anything, don't forget to make a backup in your recovery!

Hi Alexandre-P,
thanks for your reply! I didn't wipe the data cause i usually don't have to do it when flashing a new version of the rom
of the same android version. Unfortunately i didn't do a backup pre flashing, but I will before tinkering around more ^^
But can you confirm that the flashing process in general was correct, or in case it was incorrect, where did i mess up?

There is a difference in installing a custom rom for the first time and flashing new versions - in this aspect the question doesn't exactly relate.
Since the installing a custom rom for the first time (I assume that's what u want) includes steps that differ from device to device you should
check your device's forum. You should find all the answers there.
Just an advice - no offense intended, really: Try to avoid posting things that don't relate in other threads. Use the search function in the forum/google before asking a question. If you can't find anything post a new thread!
kind regards chuSmu
back to the topic: can anyone confirm the way i flashed when reverting to a previous version?
You wiped /system but not /data? That's where things went wrong. Your fresh and newly installed /system apps are looking at the same funky /data from your previous install.
Generally, if you want to revert, simply dirty-flash the nightly you're looking for. It works.
If you're looking for a clean installation to troubleshoot a problem, TiBu your apps, wipe /system /data /cache & dalvik and start completely clean.

Hi there,
I'm kinda embarassed to ask, cause I think this MUST have been answered already - but seriously, I can't find it >.<
the latest nightlies (3/25) caused my find5 to be unable connect to any Wifi networks (it found the networks, but wasn't able connect..),
so i wanted to check if I messed sth up, or if it was just the nightly and decided to revert to an older version. However in doing so
I think i messed up a lot since some apps were displayed at beeing not installed, the play store didnt display any apps, not even the ones
installed ect... (wifi was working again btw.)
What I did was wiping cache, dalvik, system and flashing the older version downloaded from the omni rom website and wiping dalvik/cache again.
The uninstalled apps (which were still displayed) and the weird play store persisted when i went back to 3/25.
Where did I mess up? .. Sorry to bother.

Hi Alexandre-P,
thanks for your reply! I didn't wipe the data cause i usually don't have to do it when flashing a new version of the rom
of the same android version. Unfortunately i didn't do a backup pre flashing, but I will before tinkering around more ^^
But can you confirm that the flashing process in general was correct, or in case it was incorrect, where did i mess up?

You generally don't have to wipe /data if you want to update your ROM version.
But if you want to downgrade your actual ROM's version, or switch to another ROM, I think you should format /data, as it might contain updated or incompatible new apps, frameworks or setting files.
Thanks again. I'll keep that in mind!

Been using rooted stock roms for forever, but found myself lacking the need for wifi calling as of late, so I've been open to flashing something with more pizaz. I tried flashing both Dark Unicorn and Blisspop today, but neither would allow me to enabled cellular networks (it would toggle on, then back off by itself a few seconds later). I'm on T-mobile, I tried all three APN's that were pre-loaded. The notification drop-down would show it was connected to T-mobile, but it wouldn't show a data signal, and had an exclamation point over the cell signal. Anyone have suggestions on how to rectify this, or is this expected?

I didn't do anything different from using the bootstack I have for the D80130b rom I have loaded currently. Where might I find said bootstacks, basebands, and/or modem zips?

Tried each only once, will try again. When the first didn't work, I tried the other rom. WHen the second didn't work, I restored back to current. With each flash, I did advanced wipe, doing system, data, cache, and dalvik
Will try them again, wish me luck

5.1.1 roms all have the ! signal next to it. so you saying that you cant connect to internet using data.?
they to download hybrid bootstacks, you know the procedure,
wipe all, install hybrid bootstacks, then go into main menu then reboot into recovery from recovery then, copy rom into phone flash rom and gapps.

When you say "copy rom into phone", it seems there's a chance I'd loose data on internal storage? :-/
And what about if I want to restore back my current rom - is there anything that needs to be undone? (thanks for the replies, btw)
I'm at twrp 2.8.6.1, fyi

i recommend balstagator twrp to prevent display damage cause of heat.http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
when in recovery yes delete all if you have stuff in your phone if they are pics just move them to pc, if those are apps use titanium paid app that will back up, app and data like whats app all conversations. if its only like pics videos moved them to pc, if apps using the free version of titanium back up ypu cant restore batches, musst must do one installation at a time..
its always better to install a fresh installation that means wipe all.
to be honest i dont do nandroid that is what is called in twrp back up,i think i did once and it didnt worked, it does work if i want to mess with rom and if it fails or i get problem doinga restore brings back the way it was just like a restore point. but am not really sure if you wipe all and do a nandroid restore it would bring back the rom, as am typing i did one am trying a ifferent rom.. ill see if it works..
ok i tried 2 roms 1 stock custom, and cm13 so i just restore my nandroid and it worked. ive selected all in back up. wipe all then copy back the twrp back up and restore it. it works ...
ok i got some folders missing like dcim.well most just copy important folders like music videos and pics to pc then once you restore it copy them back.

I just reflashed blisspop and changed to ipv6,and it worked. I did ipv6 on DU rom, but didn't try it on blisspop. I also upgraded to twrp 2.8.7.3. Thanks for the help everyone, loving blisspop so far
