Advice Needed: No data (3G/EDGE) after rooting(via AMON_RA) & ROM(CM 4.0.4) update...
Hey all, yup I'm an idiot, but I did search the threads for at least an hour and now I'm late for work: so hold back on the "well, if you would've looked...." stuff. So heres the scoop: last night flashed my T-Mo MT3G (32b) using the AMON_RA gold card method...which I took to a 32a radio and recovery and then back to a 32b radio and recovery: can someone tell me why I had to do this when I as already using 32b. OK so that was all successful: when reverting to the 32b after rooting I used CM 1.4 recovery ROM and CM 4.0.4 ROM this is all working slick at least for now with the exception that I don't have data service. So, I will kick down some more flow to the XDA kitty if we can get this fixed. OK now you lets here the, "well, if you would've looked...."
Thanks!!
Below are my APN and system info:

Try taking your sim card out and putting it back in. I read that one here a few days ago. I just got a data plan added yesterday but I still was getting no data service until took the sim card out and put it back in. I don't know if it'll work for you but its worth a try.
No dice...
Try pulling card...no luck...but thx!
is it possible?
Is it possible to fry the 3G portion of the radio when flashing it? I can make calls, use wifi, BT, and GPS but no data over T-Mo network...
Just in case anyone is listening...
OK so I un-rooted my rig...voila got me data connect back...any ideas on this? I would love to get off the beaten path with this lil guy but...won't sacrifice my data plan for it. If anyone has suggestions I will run em...thx again!
Are you sure your APN settings were correct for T-Mobile? I am on Rogers up in Canada, and know I had to redefine my apn setup after loading Amon-RA... Once I did that everything worked flawlessly.
Re-rooted and 3g access works
Something must have went wrong with the procedure the first time because I redid the whole thing from the Tmo ROM-SPL-Radio with AMON_RA's tut and re-applied the 32B radio and recovery now it works...I must have did something incorrectly along the way that first time through...anyway this thread is dead. Thanks
My phone is flashed to cricket and everything works including WAP except Iam not able to download MMS It says error sychronizing.
I have a Google Play Nexus 4 Android 4.3 that I rooted so that I could flash different radios to correct a data problem. None of the radios made a difference but I called Straight Talk and they gave me new APN settings for my T-Mobile sim and for the last hour I have been getting a data connection. Now my problem is I want to know if there is a way that I can see what radio is running on the phone? Yes, I forgot what the last radio I flashed was. I don’t want to mess with a setup that seems to work. Also if I rooted my phone will I be able to get the android 4.4 update from google when it is released in October or do I need to reflash it back to factory fresh?
Settings> About> Baseband
you can go into your settings and about phone and check the baseband version and that is your current radio that you are one. To get the update you would more than likely have to go back to stock, or you could wait for a custom port of the rom and just flash it.
Thanks for the answer. seems the stock 4.3 radio and these APN settings got my data working (Straight Talk T-Mobile sim), although the speed is nothing to be proud of.
1. APN Name: Straight Talk
2. MMS Port: 8080
3. APN: wap.tracfone
4. Proxy: 216.155.165.40
5. Port: 8080
6. MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
7. MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.40
8. Delete the current APN from your phone.
9. Reboot your phone.
My phone is rooted with a custom rom and everything runs good except it does not recognize my sim card. I get a blank triangle in the status bar. I have tried various roms with the same outcome. The access point name is "StrightTalk Verizon" Do I need to reinstall the radio? If so how is this done? Where can I get the radio? Other suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Are you using the Verizon network with Straight Talk? It's a CDMA phone? I'm running Straight Talk using the AT&T network. APN settings with the AT&T SIM are:
APN: RESELLER
AUTH_TYPE: None
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS PROT: 80
MMS_APN_TYPE: default,mms,supl
So maybe you have an old Moto E 2015 XT1526 laying around and want to get free talk and text with Textnow, but don't want to use Android 5.1 OS...and when I would flash a custom rom I would lose LTE and thus couldn't use the Textnow app without WiFi. Well thanks to Deega's thread this is the APN you need to put into your phone...
NAME: TextNOW
APN: spl1368.i.dlsn
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,mms,ia
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: none
So what I did from an unlocked bootloader XT1526 was to
1. reinstall all the stock firmware via fastboot, activate the phone via ##72756#
2. install twrp 3.3.1, flash SU, install root explorer and dig out the APN info.
3. Made a backup.
4. Wiped the phone and then installed custom rom (RR, AICP, Lineage, etc)...then entered the custom APN info listed above, make it the active apn
5. shutdown and restart and profit from free talk and text from Textnow
As a side note you DON'T NEED to buy a 9.99 sim from TextNOW if you have an old sprint GLW236C sim laying around...After I stock flashed my phone I installed this sim, downloaded the TextNOW app and activated via my old SIM, no money out of pocket and now I have a bangin retro burner phone!
Hi, I followed your steps and the data connections to textnow works for the app calling on my Noto E 2015(Boost Mobile). But the connection is only 3G, showed on both status bar and sim card status. I tested webpage loading from google.com and textnow.com, it's 3G speed. I installed LineageOS 16.0 ROM after ##72756# and updating profile and PRL This phone can get sprint LTE connection at the same location before.
I double check /persist/telephony/apn.perm , the settings are the same as above APN setting except MNC is 000 instead of 120. But in the example in Deega's thread, all MNC are set to 000 too.
Could you think of what other reason can make it fail to get LTE ? Thanks a lot.
Radio Flash?

I've had this happen on another XT1526 and what I did was completely re-flash from a clean slate...in other words download the XT1526 original firmware and re-flash as back to stock. This should reset your radios...if you flash alot of ROMs sometimes things can fritz up.

:good:
Seems like you may have a ROM that doesn't like to update APN settings...but in the end if you have it working, CONGRATS you have a nice lil burner phone. I gave mine to my kids.
If anybody needs it, I have a stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM for the xt1526 Surnia with the preinstalled TextNow mobile app and LTE data connection preconfigured for the TextNow network. Works exactly like the stock TextNow Android 5.1 ROM preinstalled on the TextNow-branded Surnia, except it is stock Android 6.0. (Built from the stock xt1524 Android 6.0 firmware) If anybody needs this ROM, post a comment and I'll post a download link.

Greetings @astrod , sorry I've been on hiatus from XDA and just now saw there had been a reply. Are you wanting the stock Android 6.0 TextNow ROM for the xt1526?

Thanks for the offer but I was able to get TextNow working with stock 5.1. I'd really like to get it working with LineageOS but every time I install it, it cannot connect to the TextNow service.

Oh ok. I have a couple of LineageOS builds that work with TextNow. The CyanogenMod 13.0 Snapshot build and an LOS 14.1 build. The trick is flashing an Aroma installer via TWRP that configures your APN and Telephony parameters to TextNow on a system level. I will get you some links to what I am talking about.
Ok. Try flashing this in TWRP on any custom ROM Android 6.0 and newer.
TextNow-MotoE-CM13-r2-LTE-fixed.zip
drive.google.com
This does two things: it installs the TextNow app to /system/priv-app and it configures your apns-config.xml and eri.xml to TextNow parameters. (You will need to update TextNow app via Play Store or another app repo once you boot back into the OS.) Also, and I'm sure you already know this, but make a Nandroid backup before flashing this installer.
I have found that the Surnia must first be activated on TextNow using a stock ROM. This way, the ##72786# network reset works and SprintDM carrier provisioning can properly occur. Once activated on TextNow using a stock OS, you can then flash a custom ROM and install the above fix via TWRP. Upon reboot you should connect to the TextNow network. The above fix was originally created for a CM 13 ROM but in my experience it works on about any custom ROM. I am presently using TextNow on my Surnia with the latest official LineageOS 17.1 nightly build.
@astrod let me know how it goes. I can upload some pre-configured TextNow LOS ROMs if you need as well.
Hi, thanks for your help, @Viva La Android . I tried flashing your zip on top of lineage-17.1-20210716 using twrp-3.5.2_9, but am getting an error.
It claims to successfully mount /system, but then gives a "set_perm: some changes failed" error.
When I boot into the OS, it works fine but no TextNow app.
Any thoughts? Thanks again!
Edit: never mind, I set twrp to NOT "unmount system before installing a ZIP" and it seems to have installed your zip without an error.
Edit2: but now the OS is stuck in a bootloop. Perhaps because I also flashed Magisk? Will try again without Magisk.
Edit3: nope, reinstalled LOS 17.1 without Magisk, and flashed your zip and still bootlooping.
