So I got a used T-mobile G2 yesterday and to my pleasant surprise the firmware version was 1.22. I followed the Wiki procedure to root the phone and then flashed CM7.0.3.
Unfortunately, I can only access the internet through wifi. The mobile network icon shows 3G/H and the up/down arrows even flash but nothing happens (I can't open webpages, for example). I also upgraded to the newest G2 radio but that didn't fix anything.
Any ideas?

The first thing I would try is to wipe using the superwipeg2+.zip and ghul's vision_efs_wipe.zip and then reflash the rom. That will most likely fix it, but if it doesnt, there are a whole lot of things eliminated by trying that and you're that much closer to a solution.

Tried that, didn't work.
I've also called T-Mobile support because until yesterday I was using the Xperia X10i, and last time I switched phones I had to call them, then restart my phone. They said my SIM card wasn't 3G compatible but that's obviously wrong because I had HSPA consistently at home with the X10. So it's either an issue I'm having with CM7 or some problem on T-Mobile's end.
Unfortunately, I didn't check whether internet worked on the stock ROM before I rooted.
Edit: I'm considering unrooting it and going back to stock to see if it works but I would really like to keep Gingerbread and 1GHz, so I'll do that as a last resort.
Edit 2: My impatient ass did it anyway. Now I'm back on the stock T-Mobile ROM without root and still have no internet access (both on pre-OTA 1.19 and OTA 1.22). Looks like I'll have to talk to T-Mobile about this.
Edit 3: Oh snap, I must apologise for being stupid. T-Mobile still had the IMEI number for the X10i for my phone number and apparently you can only own one phone per line. They have now changed the details and I have internet access on my G2! I will try shortly with CM7 but I don't think it should be a problem.
Edit 4: Well it turns out this wasn't CM7's fault after all. 3G internet works fine in CM7, but I'm not sure if HSPA+ shows up as H+ or just stays H.

Are you using your old SIM or the one that came with the G2? If you're using your old one, call TMo and have them activate the one that came with the G2.

Thanks but my old SIM from 2007 still works fine. The used G2 I bought didn't come with a SIM. If I can't get HSPA+ in my adventures around Austin this week I'll get a new SIM.

It will just say 'H' when you're getting HSPA access. As far as 'H+' showing up, I've never seen it on my G2 and I live in Tampa, Fl which is one of the first places they roll out new network tech. I would definetely try and get a new sim though, I had an older one and even though my phone would indicate "4G", I was never fully getting it because of my old sim. They'll hook you right up for free at a tmo store if your sim needs an upgrade

So today my Desire Z started to lose connection whenever the screen was locked for more than a few minutes. I would set it down and when I got back the lock screen would say "limited service". To get it back I would either have to restart my phone or enter than exit airplane mode. I have looked into the settings and I have mobile data always on.
Is there anyone else experiencing this?
Update: In small print under where it says "limited service" on the lock screen at also says "emergency calls only" as if my carrier is doing this and not my phone. It also seems to be more random than I thought because sometimes it happens when my screen is on and it doesn't always happen when my screen it locked for a few minutes.
I recently installed a data counter. Could that be conflicting with anything?
Any tips or advice is welcome.
What area are you in? I was experiencing something similar over this past weekend, but heard from up top that they were doing HSPA maintenance / work, they might be in your area now.

Could it be your SIM card? Maybe clean the contacts and make sure it is in there good.
It does sound like something to do with the SIM card to me, e.g. dirty contacts on the SIM card, the SIM card sitting too loose in the holder, etc.
So I was at work when this started happening, then I went home and everything was fine, now I'm back at work and it's happening again. So I guess my signal isn't strong enough to maintain it while I'm here, I find this strange because I am getting the same speed as anywhere else while having the same amount of bars (3 or 4).

I just got my bell desire Z, unlocked it and am having the same exact problem with Telus in Victoria, B.C.
I called Telus and they said there is no maintinence going on in the area. I have also S-OFF'd, rooted and installed cyanogen as well as other roms, with the same problem.
Any Ideas OP? did you solve your issue? I have reverted to stock, (still same problems) and am thinking of returning mine.
I will clean my SIM card and report back.
Edit: Yeah, no SIM card cleaning in the world could fix it. I think I am going to have to return it.
Have you both unlocked using codes?... and rooted and s-off using the old method?
.... wasn't there an issue with unlock codes. Revert back to stock then try the Gfree method for s-off and subsidy lock off I reckon.

Good call by ddotpatel there. As he said, there was a major issue with unlock codes, at least on the G2 side of things (I'm not clear if this affect the DZ). Don't use the old method to S-OFF, use gfree which will SIM unlock you too. It has even managed to repair some bricked G2's which got corrupted through unlock codes.

OK, I applied the Tmobile RUU, and restored my Telus APN settings and got data back. After 5 minutes of sitting, I notice the same issues happening. I will try again in the morning with gfree, but not expecting much.

Don't worry, all gfree does is patch your radio configuration partition. Even if this went badly wrong and the partition was damaged/wipe (which won't happen), you could still boot your phone to repair it, it's just that the calling/data won't work without the radio config.
The guys on #G2ROOT have had success in getting a lot of G2's working again, after they started to have serious problems following unlocking codes.
same thing happened with me on the original telus desire. Change your sim card. Apparently they arent meant to last more than two years.
I had issues with my DZ on Telus after I used the gfree method to S-off. Since I was already unlocked and didn't seem to have any issues with my call quality until I S-offd..I assume it affected it somehow..but all's I did was replace my SIM and all was well again. I went from horrible call quality and data sending issues to a now perfect phone. For the $10 a new SIM is worth I'd suggest that.

I am having the same issue on a DZ i just got from bell. I have full bars, then next thing I know i'm getting 'limited service' no idea why this happens? Guess i'll have to take it back to bell.

Have you rooted or modified it in any way? This is the EXACT same issue, but it would be nice to see if it is happening to stock phones as well.
I have been getting this issue too. I unlocked the phone via an online unlocking service then rooted and soff using gfree. The interesting thing is I would get this issue with my motorola milestone which was also carrier unlocked and rooted. I have a new sim and that hasn't resolved the issue. It only happens very rarely. I am running cyanogen rc1. The fact I was getting this issue on my milestone indicates its a network issue.

Funny that you should mention this, because now that I am at school, I am getting 1 bar, where in my old HTC Desire I would get no service.
At home, I would normally get very good reception with my old Desire, and now it fluctuates from 4 bars to no reception in a matter of minutes with the Z.
So it must be a network issue, but all the *****ing and complaining in the world wont get me anywhere with Telus I'm sure, as I am only 4 months into a 3 year contract. I am sure they will reverb something back like "not our phone, not our problem" Bah-humbug. I will get a replacement, but I also may just switch to Bell if they are going to be like that.
I just got a G2. perm rooted it. and everytime upon booting up it has signal for 1 second then literally just disappears and never comes back. can't choose mobile network or anything because it can't search for it. tried doing *#*#infor#*#* and it says GSM ONLY and everytime i try to change it to WCDMA PREFERRED it keeps reverting back as soon as i exit. the only way i've been able to get signal back so far is to connect to wifi and enable wifi calling, then after disconnecting i'm able to get signal and i'm able to check the WCDMA PREFERRED option but awhile ago i was on wifi calling then left my house and it was disconnected but wasn't able to get signal again.
can anyone help me with what i should do because although i might be able to get it back through wifi calling, this will be very problematic whenever i'm not near my normal wifi locations...
thanks for the help

This is what it sounds most like to me. Also try to install another rom since you have it rooted now and see if that fixes the issue. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup first though!

No it wasn't. For the past couple of days since calling tmobile, its been significantly better but today I did randomly have that same problem of no connection, but mostly right now my problem is my g2 not being able to read my phone number in "status" under "about phone" settings but it does on my n1. When I called tmobile they tried sending my number ota 3 times with no luck...

During the first 30 days you can go to a TMO store and get a new phone, pretty much "no questions asked". I'd go ahead and do that if I was you. Oh, go to a corporate store though, not a mall kiosk.
While you're there, get a new SIM, too. All free of charge.
If you still have the same problem after that, I'd try an exorcist
Is this problem solved now ? I got the same problem but have no chance to return it back.
If there is the way to solve it, could you please inform and share
Thx

My signal problems seemed to be resolved, at least for the past week. It was resolved by calling tmobile customer support and they did some tests. However, my phone not recognizing my phone number under settings> about phone> status, is still a problem. Even tried getting a new sim and still didn't solve the problem. Did numerous OTAs with tmobile that didn't work. My number still shows up on caller id and stuff its just that menu thing. Sounds insignificant but some apps use that to determine your phone number. Also, when putting my sim back into my nexus one, it does show my number...

First of all, I apologyze for my english, just want you to sit and read carefully..
I'm from Panama, and I just bought a HTC Incredible 2 from Verizon Wireless on eBay, it came unlocked for any gsm network.
I used it for a couple month on Movistar with a GSM chip, it wasn't able to conect on 3G network, only 2g but it's enough for me, beacuse I use WiFi conection everyday.
Today I decided to install a custom rom, I had some trouble installing the roms because I don't know much about that, It is already rooted by revolution tools
I tried miui once and cyanogenmod 7 Nightly, Kernel v2.6.35.14 its the current rom I'm using, but the phone it's unable to conecto or even find a GSM network!!!
It's on Global Mode (that's the option I always used before) and Data capability On, now I can't do anything without network!
I have typed *#*#4636#*#* and did the steps I found on another thread and nothing worked!
I really need your help! I read something about the 'RADIO', I'm not sure about that.
You need to find the apn settings for your provider and enter it in at your mobile settings. Not sure who your provider is so i dont know your apn settings, try google.
jics91, some ROM's don't support both gsm and cdma which is what Verizon wireless uses. One ROM that supports gsm and cdma is SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. You may want to give that a shot. Google it. It's a popular ROM that is very stable and it includes GSM.
You should be setting GSM / UMTS Mode in your settings. If you are able to make calls and just can't get data then you need to set your APN. Are you using Movistar? If so, Movistar uses the following information.
APN: internet.movistar.pa
Username: movistarpa
Password:moveistarpa
APN Type: default
The rest of the options leave default.

Cool. I am glad you got it to work. I am replying to you using movistar. Just landed in David, Chiriqui yesterday. Radios and kernels are for better battery life and signal. You probably don't need a better radio. But you should try a different kernel than the stock one. You will get better battery life and can have more control over it. But be careful, some kernels don't work well with certain roms. So do some research before loading it.

hi guys,
I have been a lurker for a while, didn't actually have anything meaningful to contribute (to create a new post/thread), i.e. until now!
Bought a galaxy nexus in April when Google started selling it on the Play store. I did not root it and/or modify it in anyway other than trying out a few apps I developed.
Given that background, 3G/HSPA data has not been working on the phone ever since I got and installed the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I thought I also had the Wifi issues that others are facing, but it turned out to be just a setting (Keep WiFi ON during sleep was set to NEVER by the JellyBean update, am pretty sure I didn't do it).
Do you guys have any clue as to what might be happening here? Any troubleshooting tips?
I am on the AT&T prepaid, data was fine until the JellyBean update. My friend with galaxy nexus also started having this problem post the OTA update, but he is AT&T post paid.
any insights???
thank you!
EDIT:
Also, I forgot to mention in my initial post ..
I get good signals and 3G or H also shows up next to the signal bars, but they are in grey.

I didn't call AT&T because I know thats exactly how they are going to reply. If you didn't know it before, AT&T claims the $50 unlimited talk/text/web is unlimited web only for dumb phones but for smartphones you`ll need a separate data top-up. However, I have been using 3G with the same SIM card from November 2011. I had a Nokia N95 till April and then bought the galaxy nexus.....I didn't add the data top-up.
So at first when I started having this problem I thought AT&T finally started blocking 3G on the nexus, but later found out that my friend who is also on AT&T but on a post paid contract also has this same problem from the day he got JB OTA.
Unfortunately, I never went to Phone Information settings until after I got the JB update, so I do not know how it was before the OTA. .
bump.

maybe downgrade to 4.0.4 :-/
A port of the Nexus 4 port. This is from the international forums, but it is gee-based so should work for us. Thanks go to @Kevinjoa

The link takes you to the OP but the ROM is in a comment on the second page. Also the dev states that this is an alpha, should we be linking to it here?
Also he says it's for geehrc. That's not gee. Gee is geehrc and geespr. Geehrc is strictly international. It might work on the ls970 but probably not. I'm going to try and mess with it anyway. But just realize what you are getting into before messing around. Might erase efs. If you're smart you have a backup everywhere.
I just want people to be aware of development going on in the international forums. See also discussion at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2807660, people are running this on LS970 though I myself have not yet flashed it
I don't want to link to that specific post because that is only release 2, he is already up to release 9. Obviously proceed with caution.
It's actually working. I'm using it right now on sprint to reply. It took a long time to boot. And once it does when you get past all the attempted update force closes you have to change mobile networks to 3g or it will APPEAR as though your efs is gone. Once you change to 3g (or possibly LTE, I don't know because I have no access) it will connect to sprint. I made a call but haven't tried data or texts yet. I just wanted to post results. It runs smooth and looks great.
EDIT:
Seems no matter what I tried, data would not connect. It also would not "stay" on 3G, it kept reverting to global. It did however keep my settings.
Keep in mind that was release 2. I did not realize when I downloaded it that there was more releases but I decided to give it a shot anyway instead of jumping to the newest right away (since I already downloaded 400+MB).
this is exciting, we already nearly have android L...just another testament to how awesome our community is
We're still gonna have the gsm to cdma issue. I still can't get it to work on KK.

This one is slightly different than any other stock ROM I have tried to make universal. They basically ported a stock rom to GEE. Everything is working, wifi, calls, texts. The only thing I can't figure out is 3G. If you have 4G it's worth testing. I have absolutely no way to check 4G. I know 3G won't connect and upon fresh boot you have to connect to some sort of network and there are an amazing amount of FC's for update service. I think it's because I can't connect to something. I am at work now and have no access to wifi to even get past the setup, so I cannot get to settings and change mobile networks to 3G. There is no skip option. You have to connect to something, if you choose skip for mobile network then you have to connect to wifi or it will not pass setup.
I strongly suggest everyone give it a shot since there is nothing special like the KK that you need to do. I was even able to flash it on MultiRom. It will flash from any recovery and does not wipe any partitions. The kernel it uses works (but might have something to do with the lack of network). I am not sure. It could be anything until it is narrowed down.
@engine95 There is even options to update profile and PRL, though they don't work right now (for me).
Have you tried messing with APNs to fix data? I am on stock rooted ZVC, and even so I had trouble with MMS over LTE/eHRPD until I manually added an APN. Plus it breaks again if I update profile.
@dopy25 that's interesting. There's an international 975 Rom I was messing with where mms works but nothing else. Lucky has everything but mms.
I picked up the G3 yesterday but I'm still looking at getting KK working for the gee.
I think the apns might work from the G3 or maybe even the KK G2. No root for the Sprint G3 yet so I can't pull them. The G3 has GSM built with it. Lets hope it'll work with KK and L.

OK so I tested the release 10 and couldn't get too fat because of the nav bar glitching out and also the android keyboard crashes.

I have not, but my next step is to use an apn config file that I have and try it again. The one I have never fails me. (I am at work and on borrowed time )
I did compare them and the only difference is that the one that comes with the rom has more lines and the information that is extra is some cdma Sprint lines and some lines for Cricket. I figured those would be more updated but I can see how they would get in the way.
EDIT: the APN file I had caused the same issues. I am going to try to get setup using wifi somewhere and look at the mobile settings on the releas 10 and find out if anything has changed. I hope the dev that made this port doesn't get turned off he's doing some great work.

G3 is GSM and CDMA capable? Is that one of the new things Sprint has going on? Someone at my work told me their new S5 (I think) has a sim card. I didn't believe him but hey if that's more than one person now I guess there's more to it.
The problem I have is that I get no mobile data network, so i do not know if MMS works or not. Texts, calls, and wifi work. I should have tried sending MMS last night when I was home and on wifi. Would the APNs be different? As in an update in network settings or something? I can DL a G2 rom and pull the apn file from it, or ask for it in one of their threads if you think it would make it any different. The one I have is from an optimus G rom and has always worked for 3/4G.
I have not had a chance to mess with lucky or any of the fixes you posted.

Try an earlier release. I had everything but mobile data working on release 2. I would suggest either trying that one if you have access to 4G or trying another one.
How does this work on a Sprint Optimus G LS970 only used on wifi? Does it at least connect to wifi?

It sure does connect to WiFi. Like a champ.
I ran it for a bit but had to switch because I wanted data when I left home haha.
Trying this for data

This gets me 3G through the Airave, have to wait till tomorrow to test LTE.
Each time you switch from WiFi to mobile data, you get a flurry of update FC's. If it also does that when switching towers it will probably not be usable for me at work.
Right now my home button has stopped working, and the swipe to pull down settings is also stuck somehow. Anyone seen this or have ideas how to fix?

The APN zip gets data working including LTE. My issues with the buttons and settings pulldown were fixed on a full wipe and reflash. Wiping system cache and dalvik only and reflashing was not enough. Looking good.

Are you able to get data at boot, or do you have to get through setup using wifi? I can't seem to get data at all, but since I am at work I have no access to wifi to get to the settings to change anything. It won't let me past data setup of some sort. No skip.
I just now wiped EVERYTHING (except internal sd) 3 times then installed the ROM, then flashed the sprint.zip, then wiped data, cache, dalvik. And it booted ok, but I still have no data at all. I press skip and it forces me to choose a wifi network. I even tried connecting to one that I knew needed an extra login just to pass the stupid setup and I still cannot.
YUM!
Looks so nice clean I'll be looking forward to flashing it all day at school tomorrow
Gsm to cdma port
Alot of new phones will be gsm/cdma. Sprint and tmobile are in works of merging companies and what better then to have a phone that runs on both?
As far as porting goes i know a guru who might be able to help with porting from Gsm to Cdma i have seen him do many roms @cj360 just might need some test subjects.
Always store backups of you imgs and efs on your cloud.
Just need some Devs on Board to do some brain storming. Here are a few to ask @spleef @engine95 @Shelnutt2
