I was running Myn's, decided to flash Calkulin's. Downloaded all the latest radios, the format all, and the rom image. Once i flashed the latest radio onto Calkilin's i started noticing that I only have 1x, not 3g, service everywhere i go. I drove the local sprint store (about 5 minutes away) to test to see if I just had a bad signal, rebooted the phone and still had 1x service.
I restored the data profile by doing ##3282# going into the profile and restoring all the settings. Problem is this fixes the 3g service, but I lose the ability to receive phone calls.
I have also tried updating/downgrading trying different roms. Problem seems to follow. Couple of friends are having this issue, all of us are trying different things and not coming to any conclusion.
Any help is appreciated
could some mod please take down the link to calkulin's 1.8? 1.7.7 is such a good rom, but 1.8 is just causing problems left and right.
this same thing happened to me and a bunch of other people. it's calkulin's extended menus.
wipe and reflash his rom. then dload msl reader from market. get your msl. then go to dialer and type ##data#. choose edit, and enter ur msl. choose mode of operation, and make sure its on automatic. then, without going into settings at all, boot into recovery, wipe, adn flash another rom. check if its working now. if not, repeat. it'll work eventually.

Tried this several times (try #20 no lie.) Flashed the stock backup i had when i originally got the phone and it still continually doesn't work.

totally wipe and flash a stock rooted rom, then do the data/hard reset. if all else fails run the RUU, then root again and go from there. ive had this happen before and it can be a pain in the rear to fix. you may just want to start over fresh.

ruu didn't help me. seems like a very random bug. you sure you changed mode of operation to automatic? ok then try this. after changing mode of operation to auto, go into settings and in mobile data options, change the setting that says evdo-only (forget the name) to hybrid. then wipe and flash diff rom.

By chance, (I can't find it on the sprint store or on the htc website) could you post the download link for the Sprint RUU?

My droid incredible has been having some major problems with any GPS-related functions when flashing to custom ROMs. I've tried CM7, OMGB, OMFGB, and MIUI so far. The GPS worked great in OMGB and OMFGB after updating the radio, but when I tried this on CM7 and MIUI (both of which seemed much smoother and refined), no dice. I've also tried completely reflashing the rom (yes, I did wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache), uninstalling WeatherBug, flashing 4 different radios (4.08, 11.19, 5.02 and 5.06) as well as reflashing the original stock 7.28 radio, and even tried that fix through a sense rom where you dial some ## number and then enter some MSL number. That didn't seem to work for me, the call didn't even go through. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get GPS to work on either of the custom ROMs that I love. Major bummer, because I used GPS daily on stock 2.2 Froyo before rooting my phone. I'd appreciate any help at all on this issue and I really would like to get my phone's GPS functionality working again.
P.S. - I've already spent countless hours searching XDA as well as other forums about this issue, and the above list of troubleshooting steps is what I've come up with so far. Please don't lecture me with a useless response such as "Use the search function" as I have already done so. Thanks
Seems like you've done your research. Have you tried an app titled "GPS Status & Toolbox" in the market?
Just tried that app but no luck. I tried clearing the current GPS settings and then downloading new ones. Anything I'm missing?
I only saw mention of AOSP roms, did you try using *228 on a Sense rom? I'm not sure if there's a difference performing this on an AOSP rom but I recall folks saying to do that on a Sense rom. As you stated, GPS worked on two roms just not MIUI or CM7, which is weird. Have you returned to or are you currently using OMGB and OMFGB and retained your ability to use gps? I'm trying to rule out this being a hardware issue since you noted GPS failed on two of four roms.

Just reflashed OMFGB, and now GPS DOESN'T work?!?!?!?!? I've tried everything all over again, format SD card, reflash radio, I'm clueless.
Do you recall performing anything on your phone that may have messed with the gps? Do you restore system data at all with something like Titanium? My only other suggestion is to flash rmk40's gingerbread leak found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
The reason I'm suggesting is due to the 3G drop issue that people have fixed by flashing this. I'm doubtful, but maybe this could resolve the gps issue as well? Aside from this, I'm hoping another XDA member has suggestions/solution as it looks like hardware failure if you do not recall anything odd that caused the gps issues.

I do use Titanium to restore system data. I flashed from CM7 to MIUI and did a batch restore of EVERYTHING, and got a FC on android.process.acore. I reflashed MIUI and the FC problem was fixed, but GPS still did not work. After this I flashed back to OMFGB and even complete stock 2.2 with sense, still no GPS. I will try your suggestion above, however I'm doubting this is a hardware problem as my GPS worked fine before rooting my phone. I'm guessing I screwed up something to do with the software, I just don't know enough about the subject to make an educated guess about what I screwed up. Anyway, I'll try flashing that gingerbread leak and let you know. Thanks for all the help so far guys.

No luck. GPS still is not working.
Aight, well one thing is you are not supposed to backup/restore system data. Idk how deep it affects rom flashes but that is very likely the source of your gps issues. Have you flashed a rom without restoring anything and checking gps? With titanium you are supposed to backup user data. If you ask many dev's, they strongly discourage backing up system data.
1) flash a rom (step 2 is an option within Settings in gingerbread roms, idk about froyo roms)
2) if you want to completely start from scratch Cancel google restore by NOT signing into your google account upon initial setup. Go into Settings>Privacy and uncheck "Back up my settings" as well as "Automatic Restore."
3) sign into your google account and let it sync
4) test your gps
If you always restore system data through Titanium each time you flashed a rom PRIOR TO testing gps, this may have resulted in your problems.
I'd have to agree with slimsnoop, my first flash I made the mistake of restoring system data and everything went crazy wifi freaked, gps, repeated fc's. I'd try flashing then try gps, if its working then i'd restore apps one by one and see if any interfere with the gps. If that doesn't work then i'd go stock, master clear/factory reset and see how that goes make sure EVERYTHING important is backed up to your pc cause it will wipe it clean, if none of that works then i'd leave it stock and take it in for replacement or repair if possible.

Tried that on Cyanogenmod just now, and I unchecked "backup my settings", however "automatic restore" was checked and greyed out, I couldn't do anything about that one. Also, I had to sign into my google account in order to download maps so I could test it. So if google sync is interfering with the GPS I'm not able to stop it from syncing on a custom rom. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I've actually already tried a complete restore back to 2.2, as well as a factory reset once I"m already at stock configuration. I'll try that again tonight if I get a chance. Is there anything you can recommend when retsoring back to factory configuration? any hidden settings I'm missing that have something to do with the radio or GPS or wireless settings?
No the only settings I've found for gps is location for pics and stuff, besides a factory reset should of changed it all back anyways, i'd say its a hardware issue but seeing as two roms were working at one point and not now it kind of seems that maybe something isn't getting erased with factory reset thats catching you up, I'm not sure what the code is for yours but i'd try the actual master clear code. I read somewhere theres a difference between factory reset and master clear not sure if there really is though, and if you can find a secret code list there might be something where you can change the gps sat pool. When I get home tonight I'll do some digging and see if I can't find something to get this working for you

When you install cyanogen, to test maps without signing in, download the gapps package from the cyanogen thread on this forum or on cyanogenmod forums

I do use the gapps package. It's also available on rom manager, however when you flash the gapps package it's basically multiple market links that take you to the apps of your choice so you can download the latest version. This requires you to sign into the market, which requires you to sign in to your google account =/
The only other solution I could think of is finding an .apk of the maps app, and doing that manually. I can't imagine that the google sign in is what is interfering with the GPS though. I'll try Jsmokey's suggestion and search for a master reset code, maybe that'll do the trick for me. If i'm flashing to the stock config the maps app is already included anyway. Thanks for the idea though.

No luck finding a "master clear code" on Google, but I did find that there is an option for factory reset in the hboot menu. Is this what you're referring to possibly? Also, is this different from the factory reset option in settings>storage while the phone is on?
UPDATE: Just called verizon, apparently they are out of stock of dinc's and are sending me a dinc 2! =D
Anyway, what steps can I take in the future to make sure I DON'T screw up my phone the next time in the first place (besides NOT restoring system data in Titanium)?

Yeah I wasn't sure if it had a master clear or not some phones do some don't, I can't remember if what you're talking about is different from regular factory reset or not its been a while since I played around with a droid inc. Glad to hear you're getting a replacement and an upgrade at that. Basically do searches for what you can back up and back up everything system related you possibly can, you can't be too prepared when disaster strikes.

Sounds great. I'll probably do a nandroid backup at absolute stock and make sure it's working correctly. Thanks to everybody for all the help.

Do you mean if you call them for a warranty replacement they will send you a dinc2?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Glad to be of service! Hopefully things work out on the DInc2 for you.
As far as warranty replacements go, the availability of DInc vs. DInc 2 depends on what they have in stock in your area. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if more folks received DInc 2's as replacements.
I recently lost my IMEI and didn't have a backup. Stupid move on my part. Now I know I need to do a backup before flashing ROMs. Anyways, I just got off the phone with AT&T and I will have a replacement here in 2-3 days. As I'm sure most of you know I'll have 10 days to send my old one back. Before I return it to stock and send it back I am willing to help in the research of this problem and a potential solution. I have done a lot of searching on this forum and I haven't found a solid solution. If anyone has some theories they would like to try you have a few days to let me know and I'll see if I can be of help.
Here is the history of the phone as best I can remember:
-Bought brand new December 7, 2012
-Updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 through Kies. No noticeable problems
-Rooted with Odin v3.04 Team Epic Root from Recovery with CWM v5.0.4 and Super User I kept the stock ROM for awhile before flashing anything else (Made a Nandroid of this ROM) No noticeable problems.
-Flashed Drew Garen's Serenity 1.2 No noticeable problems
-Flashed Pure Motive's Galaxy Mod Rls 14.1 No noticeable problems
-Flashed Pure Motive's Galaxy Mod Rls15 (This is where the problems began) Did a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) like I always did. Rebooted after flash and noticed that my service sucked and my data wouldn't connect. I checked the APN's and they were wrong. Changed the APN's and the data would connect but I still had poor service. The phone wouldn't even make a call. It took me a little while to figure out that the IMEI was missing. It just read 0. After some searching I found a method of injecting the IMEI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117 I used this method and put the original IMEI back in. Of course that didn't fix my data or poor service issues.
-Then I tried Peoplearmy's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 Actually I only did the make a backup part with QPST. I couldn't use the QCN Generator app because I only had Windows XP and the app requires Windows 7.
-I flashed my Nandroid backup. No help.
-Flashed Stock Jelly Bean I747UCDLK3. No help.
-Rooted the phone again, using the same method as above.
-At this point I became desperate (stupid) and tried a method for the GT-i9300: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30773406 This definitely didn't work and now I lost my serial number.
-Last night: Finally got access to a Windows 7 computer. Tried The SGS3 QCN Generator app. This time it worked and made a QCN. I injected it into the phone. No help. The QCN data I used was from after I lost IMEI and had manually put it in. I'm not sure if this is part of the problem of why it didn't work or not. The way I understood things it was supposed to repair the other parts of the QCN data. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-I actually made an EFS backup on Galaxy Mod Rls14.1 using the Aroma installer. From what I've read this wouldn't necessarily help anyways because it doesn't contain all of the data needed to do a complete backup which is kind of beside the point because it's in tar format not in zip and it's a tiny file. 58 Bytes.
-I have installed Root Explorer and looked in the EFS folder and it doesn't contain any nv_data files.
I have already installed Triangle Away and cleared my flash counter.
So, if anybody who actually knows what they're doing (cause I obviously don't) would like to help, especially if my situation can be used to fix/prevent this from happening, and wants to use me and my I747 as a Guinea Pig let me know.
-Right as I was getting ready to post this I scrolled through settings>about device>status, and my correct Serial Number was back. What the ....? The only thing I've done to the phone is toggle airplane mode a few times, turn it off and on a few times, used wifi to get online, pulled the battery, booted up in CWM recovery. I haven't flashed anything to the phone. This is odd. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Huh? There's a perfectly good solution and a fix. Not sure why itnwouldnt work for you. It works for everyone else.

I tried that. Exactly step by step. I still don't have reliable data. It either doesn't connect or stays on Edge. Also the service sucks. Everyone else around me will have 3-4 bars and I'll have 1.

Changing your modem can fix that.
I was thinking of that but I read on here somewhere that someone had tried it without results. I am willing to try it though. Which modem would you recommend? I already have i747UCLG1 modem on my memory card, ready to flash.

I can't really recommend a modem as they act completely different with your area/phone.
The only suggestion I can make is to use one from your carrier (AT&T). But it doesn't mean another one won't work better.
OK. I'll give that a shot and post the results in a few minutes.
Yeah I've used the IMEI injection tool to full effect. I have full data back. Using any other method to try to fix it would be just plain stupid. There is nothing else to test.

Did you get all the missing files back in your EFS folder?
Maybe I messed up somewhere. I don't have my full data or service back yet. I'm trying a few different modems to see what that does. It really doesn't matter if I get this fixed or not. I've already got a replacement on the way. I was just hoping that it could help somebody else out and I kinda like fixing things. The 2 modems I've tried so far aren't having any better results. I've got a couple more to try.
Would it be worth a try to redo the entire QPST, QCN Generator process?
I received my new Galaxy S3 today. That was Fast!! Lol Anyways, my research proved to be right. There's more going on than meets the eye when you loose and restore your IMEI. The original phone lost signal and would hardly ever connect to HSPA, only UMTS. The replacement phone automatically connected to HSPA as soon as I had it setup. I read on here somewhere that a lot of people were having the same problem when they re-injected their IMEI. I used the SGS3 QCN GEnerator app and still couldn't get good data connection. Actually I hardly had any connection at all. It would hardly pic up incoming calls and texts were sometimes an hour or more behind coming in. Flashing different modems didn't help either.
I'm going to do the proper backups this time before doing any flashing and if I have any more problems of this nature I'll have a good backup to fall back on.
SMS, Calls and Network seems to shut down after 5 mins of the phone being booted up. I have to 'restart' the phone in order to get everything back working. Then after around 5 mins everything (sms, calls, network) stops working. so basically every time i need to use my phone i have to restart it.
This has been happening for about a month now. Been through 4 different ROMs, tried different kernels and about 5 different radios (including Restore Modem Flashable Zip).
Oddly, last week, when traveling across state for 4 hours in a car, the network worked mostly. SMS i had to restart a few times.
What can I do to try and fix this?
I have dropped it a few times. small cracks but everything else works fine.
The problem started to occur the very 1st time I flashed a radio modem that a ROM dev suggested on his thread. Not sure if this was just a coincidence. Like i said I tried different radios with no luck.
Any tips?

I'm assuming you don't have a nandroid of your previous setup. First thing (before trying any of our solutions) is to make one of your current setup. This will allow you to at least go back to a semi-working setup (emphasis on semi-).
Obvious first question would be to ask Sprint if they're doing network upgrades in your area. It doesn't sound like this is the issue, but it might be.
Secondly: what is your install procedure when installing a new ROM? Are you doing "dirty flashses" or clean flashes (factory reset)? I don't have any solutions for you, but the fact that you're having this issue across ROMs and across Radios tells me that there's something left over in your /system that's messing with your data connectivity. If you try wiping system (or the entire internal sdcard) before installing a new ROM, you might find that this fixes your problem. I'll admit that's the extreme solution, but if it's not a hardware problem, it'll most-likely will work.

If I remember correctly, after the problem started happening I did restore a previous backup but the issue kept happening.
I never dirty flash and usually wipe data about 3 times before flashing a new rom.
So you are saying wipe/format the entire internal SD card? what would be the safest process to do this?
Thanks for helping
Honestly it sounds like a firmware/modem issue, not rom related. I would flash via odin the lj7 firmware and start there. Also make sure you do the dial reset sequence ##72786# once you boot up.

In the phone dialer dial that specific sequence it forces a reset activation on the network. Go ahead and try that, you can do that right now. But let me explain flashing the firmware and modem via Odin is a much better procedure that through custom recovery. I would give that a shot before continuing to bang your head trying to figure it out. If you odin your firmware and still have the problem then you can eliminate that as a probable cause.

I agree with edfunkycold, that's your best bet. Mine "solution" was more of a way to eliminate if any /system files were interfering with the network, but I'd suggest ed's fix first.
My "final" solution would be to try flashing Sextape's stock (rooted) tar file. I'd flash the "restore" version, the link looks like this:
SPH-L710_MD4_1130792_Rooted_Restore [EXE|TAR.MD5.GZ]

But again, that's more of a last-ditch thing. Try out the dial reset sequence the ed suggested.

Would flashing the "wipe data" version of the ROM clear out the /system/etc/firmware folder, and restore that to stock as well?
I rooted my SGH-I317 awhile ago using galaxynote2root method. I have CWM recovery v6.0.1.4. I have flashed multiple roms including JellyThunder, Diaphanes and now I'm running Clean Rom.
I dont believe it's rom related because its happened on multiple roms but my problem started on Diaphanes and has continued on Clean Rom. When I am connected to wifi I am almost always not in service and I cannot send or receive messages. I know that I am in an area where I usually get excellent service so I'm not sure what is causing this problem.
I am still learning but I've come a long way thanks to some of you guys and any help would be awesome!
Have you done a full device wipe and restore to stock at any point to test ?
The symptoms you describe sound like something is missing. ..
It's too early to assume a hardware issue. ..
And a stock rom restore that includes the files known to function properly would be a good idea.
I suggest a full wipe, and an Odin restore of a rooted stock build. ...then report the findings. ..g

Could you point me in the right direction for such tasks?
All I found was Imnuts guide for such a thing but that is for SGH-I605 I believe.
So maybe my brain was malfunctioning...
Are you saying that I just need to flash a stock rom as I found here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986556
I thought you meant back to an unrooted version but then I reread it.
I always do a full wipe when I flash roms, so I'd just do that like normal?

What Modem you running? You might not have to flash back to stock.
Try flashing a different modem like the MC3, thats the latest one
I've never messed with my modem so I'd assume its as its always been. Can you link me to it? Is it the same as flashing a rom? Does it matter what rom im on?
Edit: I believe I found the download for mc3. So I just dl, reboot to recovery and flash it?

Yes, just reboot to recovery and flash it. There have been some significant improvements for some people after they upgraded to the newest modem. My data speeds over LTE almost doubled after the update.
Hope you get it working.
Very sorry for the late response ...
The thread link you posted is very old ....as we have much newer versions of rooted stock roms.
The latest is UCAMC3....and is available in the development section in several different configurations.
In an attempt to simplify the return to stock, look at the web site in the link you posted. "Scottsroms.com" is found in the developers signature line.
The site contains a rooted, deodexed stock rom that is flashable from recovery, and will produce the desired results while side stepping the need to use Odin.
Simply download the rom to your SD card, then boot to your recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset the device, and flash the new build.
Your original radio image will remain untouched, and once booted, the device will be clean and ready to be set the way you wish.
Ultimately, a simple fresh start is the logical next step....g

You are likely missing the correct APN settings. ..
Not all roms contain the pre-loaded configuration. ..
Check them in your network settings and enter then save the correct entries. ..
The APN lists can be found in the development section. ...g
thanks

New Modem...
Alright guys I tried to take the easy way out and simply flashed the CM3 modem. It has failed me. I've been on it for a few days now and run in to the same problems and maybe even worse.
I just flashed the CA4 modem to try that out (mainly because I have to go to work and dont have time to try a permanent fix right now), so I'll see how it goes. Other than that I believe I will be hitting up scottsrom.com and doing what you mentioned to side step a few of the steps for returning to stock.
I do have 1 question.....I'm on Clean Rom 4.8 and I am aware that there is an updated 4.9. Does it come with a modem? Even if not is it possible that updating would help my problem?
I appreciate the help.
4.9 does not contain a modem...
None of the roms do...with the exception of stock Odin builds...
Seriously. ..I would consider an Odin restore to stock...
You'll get all of the needed files. ..and the issues may resolve. ...g
