HELP - Softbank HTC Desire HD - 3g not working after radio update - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD phone from Softbank in Japan. I have rooted the device successfully and installed Cyanogen 7 Nightly ROM and everything was working fine, However the battery was draining crazily. I found from one of the threads that to fix the problem i need to update the radio. Hence, I updated the radio to 26.04.02.17_M2 as suggested by many people.
Ever since, I am not getting my 3g signal at all, however I can make phone calls and connect to wifi.
I tried installing a different ROM Leedroid 1.5.1 and same problem persists.
Current config
baseband : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Android : 2.2.1
Build: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Million thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction on how to sort this issue.

Help please

I have found that the problem is connecting to softbank APN. Any help??

SoftBank APN (001HT)

3G working, MMS not working

Softbank restricts MMS applications using a custom User Agent string. This is probably why it's not working but I'm not sure if someone has created a customized MMS APK for your ROM.

I think I know what the problem is, but to really help, I need to know which country you are currently resident in.

The easiest way to use MMS with SoftBank is by using the SoftBank mail app.
Go here and click on the SoftBank MMS section for info.

This thread is back in February.
When you change rom you need to make sure that you are using the correct APN (Access Point Name) which came with your phone (in the original rom).
The APN is basically the address and password which is used to access your carrier's data/internet access.
You can use a program like APN Backup & Restore which saves your APN info in an .xml file which you can easily restore when you flash a new rom.
Some roms have many APN's listed for you to choose but your's might not be listed or included, plus if you choose the wrong one it can cost you a LOT of money in wrong data fees. (I made this mistake a few years ago with a SoftBank Windows Mobile phone which cost me $1000 equivalent in Japan.)
So get the program above and save your original APN which you are using. (whichever is checked if you have a few listed.)
Then when you flash a new rom - immediately disable Mobile Network (in settings) and install APN Backup & Restore and then delete the new rom's APNs and restore your APN. Then make sure it's checked, switch on Mobile Network and you should be OK. (I reboot and then check it's still checked afterwards). Like I said, if you use the wrong APN, you can get crazy billing fees - regardless of whether your original contract is unlimited packets or not.
I hope this helps.

Sorry, i should have mentioned that i did install that cab and it didnt help, i also enabled hspda, but it didnt help either. What did help, was that i went to ATT/cingular's website, added a data plan, which i did not have, but was able to use anyways previously, and rebooted. Now it works, so it looks like ATT was blocking my phone somehow after i changed the radio. I hope this helps someone else. if u have a data plan, try removing it and adding it back again or just call your provider.
I have cingular (att) and have "flashed" several roms from here and have never had any problems connecting to the internet. I have the "unlimited" plan, so maybe that's it?

Just for information: the AT&T pay per use is something that has to be manually added to your plan. If you don't have that or an actual data plan your internet won't work. I had an issue with that a couple weeks ago, somehow my data plan was removed from my account and everything stopped working. Something probably got screwed up somewhere which is why you lost your PPU.
Also, for those that are interested, the settings are as follows:
Modem Type: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point: wap.cingular
User Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
*Advanced Settings*
User server-assigned IP address
Use IP header compression
On THIS PAGE there's a couple of links to Cingular and ATT settings. It's also a good reference for many other things.
Best wishes
I just ran into this issue as well.
1. Bought AT&T Tilt today
2. CID unlocked using instructions in sticky thread
3. Flashed to HTC default ROM using instructions
4. Ran the shogun_cing.cab file posted in this thread
5. Checked the connection settings against AT&T website to make sure they were correct.
6. When initiating a 3G connection, I get "The answering modem has disconnected".
i installed the cab but when i try to browse a website the pocket ie just stays blank :S any ideas?
How can i get online on my Laptop
with the help of My Phone At&t Tilt ?
is there a cab for it ? or ?
Please Help

[Q] 3G Not Working After Flashed SBF

Hey guys,
I'm a noob here, sorry that this is in the wrong section.
I recently flashed my phone to the 3.4.3-11 "Froyo" 2.2.1 Android SBF, and lone behold, my 3g stopped working. I've tried factory wipes/resets, reflashing sbf files and nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for a great forum guys.
GoldenStateTy
I'm having the same problem!
I flashed the 2.3.4 UK sbf to my device and now 3G will not work!
I'm thinking it's not working because I'm a US customer and the sbf is from the UK but, I'm not sure.
I've also tried calling customer care and had them reset the server my phone is on they said it would take up to 3 days, it's been 10 days, and nothing... still.

You wouldn't happen to have one, would you?
You need to get ' defy baseband switcher' from xda or the market, set it to your region and reboot.
There is still a chance you may need to find the apn's for your region and enter then manually I they will be the same for any android device in your region and on your network, search xda.
When you have set them, get apn backup and restore from the market and back them up so you can just restore when you flash another rom.
Alternately, cm7 includes apn's for every region.

Can't Select Network Operator - HELP

I had my phone working fine on 2.3.6, but I have recently flashed my ROM.
I followed these EXACT instructions (http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2013/08/update-samsung-galaxy-wonder-i8150-to-android-jelly-bean/) and afterwards, I couldn't see Virgin Mobile UK as a Network Operator to connect to. So I can only use WiFi. (However, I saw T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and Three. It automatically connected me to T-Mobile, but nothing worked)
I thought it may be a problem with the ROM, so I used the Stable release of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120340 ... I have the same problem.
I've now tried a third: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401757 ... still doesn't work.
It can't be the ROMs... Could I need to upgrade my baseband? I don't really know what a baseband is, just what hours of Googling has brought up.
How can I fix this?

[Q] 4G Lost After Flashing Firmware

Hi everybody,
I'm totally new in this flashing world and I was messing around with my new Xperia Z1 Compact trying to get Kit Kat installed because when I bought the phone it came with JB 4.3. I flashed Latest KitKat Nordic 14.3.A.0.757 unbranded, and everything worked like a charm until I discovered that I lost 4G connection (It only connects to 3G). I went to settings to select network, and LTE is checked.
I was reading about this matter and it seems that nordic ROM doesn't support LTE Band 7 (2600Mhz) which is the band in my carrier. I tried flashing Central Europe Rom and Global rom for journalists found here in the forums. None of them seems to support my LTE band. I want to know if there is any way to recover 4G changing any setting or if you know a link to any generic ROM compatible with LTE Band 7 (2600Mhz), or if there is any way to revert to my original Jellybean 4.3 ROM using PC Companion or Sony Update Service. Any help will be very apreciated.
Hello,
I am using the Generic UK .757 on a BAND4 LTE network in Canada.
you have checked off the first thing to do from the checklist..
second is to make sure your APN settings are correct.
All these are simple, but if still no luck, some labour is in order.
Need to do full wipe and clean re-install
IF you are not rooted, just launch Sony PC companion with the phone NOT CONNECTED and do a repair. It should by default take you to KK
At the time of flashing, You probably had the wrong boxes checked and unchecked in the WIPE and Exclude boxes..
I'll try the two options
Thanks guys for the responses.
First I'll try to flask UK ROM to see if finally I get kitkat working on my phone. If this doesn't work I'll take the second option with PC Companion to restore the original ROM. I'll post the results.
It seems this rom doesn't work for me

Hi Phil,
I found UK rom in this forum ver. .681 and flashed it, then I downloaded OTA update to .757. So far the problem remains. I discovered that I was wrong about My LTE Band, is 7 not 4. Apparently there's a carrier in UK with band [email protected] same as here (Colombia), so theorically this rom should work, but this is not the case. I'm trying to change more settings without luck. If you know something to help me, it would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Hi jewelkobayashi,
I tried the method you wrote, but, despite the phone being disconnected, it downloaded the same ROM that I recently have flashed (GLOBAL .757 commercial and Journalist). Is there any other way to download the original Phone ROM . I know my original ROM is GLOBAL-14.2.A.1.114 and the customization number is 1281-3723. I haven't found any site to download this exact firmware. If you know something, it would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure about your customization number? Because it gets changed if you flash another firmware. Here's everything you need to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52011642 to download your firmware. By the way, what's your country, branding and SI-Number (so I can add your customization number to the list)?

Stop flashing random ROMs and check your settings! Unless you have a different model phone than the rest of us (there are three, D5503, M51w and SO-02F), then ANY Z1C (D5503) ROM will work, but they come with different APN lists as bundling every carrier in the worlds APN settings would be a waste of space. Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, and edit or create the correct APN in there. Look at a friends phone or on your carriers website for the correct settings. This is your problem, no doubt about it.
Please note that some carriers (mine included) have a special APN for LTE. E.g. standard is internet.tele2.se, LTE is 4g.tele2.se on my carrier.
...I have no idea where you're getting your data from, because literally every LTE network in the Nordics uses band 7.
Finally it worked

Thanks for your response. I verified APN settings with friend's phones and it was identical. Finally I called my carrier's help desk and after some try/error setups with them, they gave me an alternate APN that worked until I came home where 4G icon dissapeared again. Then, I was surprised with helpdesk response when I called them again. "There is no 4G coverage in your home area". O.O What is intriging to me is that the phone displayed 4G all the time when I just bought it (Even with restarts and wherever i was) and this changed only when I flashed a generic rom. Is just a silly assumption, but, is possible that carriers can make things like force 4G icon in their custom roms to make advertising or something like that? Just asking. Anyway, Thanks a lot for the responses.

I went into it to check it out, I touched I don't know what...
And now I can no longer connect to my network provider...

Help!!!
Ok, this is what I did to screw it all
Go to the ussd *#*#4643#*#*
Go to phone info
Go to setings and Select radio band
It gives me the option of GSM/UMTS band = USA Band
-> I no longer have WCDMA or GSM connection :S
(LTE still works...)
Now, how do I go back to my previous options? or does it has nothing to do with it, and the problem is something else?
EDIT> problem solved, I had to reflash my ftf by just updating the FOTA (not sure I needed this...) and the BASEBAND... Now I am back up and running again.. >D

guess i am going get a cricket sim card.. the flashing part wasnt bad.. but this sim card is a killer,, i had same problem with droid x i believe.. getting data to work and stick ugh.. thanks for all your help and everything

well the SIM it self only cost 10 bucks but the service and activation was 50 bucks. i think that includes registering the phone as well. i hope everything works out for you,
when i bought the g2 i really didnt know nothing about it, once i bought it and found out it had a LOCKED SIM, i went right to XDA for a quick work around. after configuring the phone and APNs very happy with the results for my g2(ls980)

I dont believe there is a simunlocker out there for sprint all the code unlockers, what ur seeing is for your MSL code, pay 1.99 and youll get the MSL code
sorry for the late response maybe u could help me to id like the sprint rom stock but i haven't figured out a way to get the apns sticking on zvc, however to install a t mobile (ported version for ls980) rom or any other, first root the device, with ioroot25, then install a custom recovery twrp with autorec in the play store, after reboot into recovery use trwp app in the play store, once in recovery go to wipe and wipe system,data (NOT INTERNAL DATA) davik, and cache locate the rom zip, and install, make sure you have the latest firmware installed first which is i believe 4.4.2, zvc. also the devs add a link to the whitelines fix which you will need

i am with you on the stock rom thing.. it has great features.. from what i have read, you have to take an apns-conf.xml file and put it in /system/etc
that is suppose to get the apns to stick, but i havent gotten to test it out yet.. just got home, about to flash back to stock and try out this sim card..
also, there is a sim unlocker that is suppose to unlock all lg g2

i think im gonna reinstall a sprint rom and test it out ive been learning quite a bit about flashing and apns prl's me and my wife are going to run an ad to flash phones to cricket for say 20 bucks but i want more knowledge first i dont wanna be messing up peoples devices lol . Ive ran other roms and there loaded to the T with settings, and ucountless tweaks and from what i have noticed, stock roms run smooth and wont brick the phone, i had a optimous g that had the optimums DE 5 rom and some how my 4 year old son adjusted the cpu clock way way to high before i realized it the phone was smoked lol so i try and use roms that dont have that option to over clock, besides this phone is fast enough without over clocking it

if youre looking to do a lot of them, you should look at cdma workshop.. automatic flashing for a lot of funs, 75$ a month subscription
so i got my sim in and this lg g2 still says no sim card....
you know even weirder thing, anytime i flash a non stock based rom, it bootloops.. Paranoid android, cm11,.. they do not boot up
