[Q] Can't receive texts after last Thursdays radio update

EDIT: Problem Solved
Downloaded Stock Sense 2.2 from here, flashed into that, Reset Data Connection in EPST (Like Here), rebooted and flashed back to CM7. Simple as that!
I realize this may be a bit of repeat thread, But I haven't really got an answer yet.
For reference: I'm running Cm7
Sometime during the day last Thursday, I lost the ability to receive texts. I can send texts, as well as make/receive calls, and data works fine as well. I just can't send them.
Things I've tried include:
Flashing to Stock Sense 2.3
Updating PRL/Profile
Manually installing Radio/PRL/Profile updates
Flashing to a fresh CM7 Install
I also feel like I should add that I tried to open EPST to reset data, but when I enter the code(##3282#) in Phone I get nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll be on until late tonight as to not keep responders waiting. Thanks.

Go to stock rooted 2.2 or MikG or a custom ROM with the old EPST, the new EPST features less. I just do it on stock 2.2 to avoid any problems when doing the restore. My radios are working, did you flash them individually?

Okay
Downloading MikG right now, going to give that a try.
And I think that may be part of my problem, I just can't get the radio to update. I've attempted to install them as a combo, and separately in both ClockworkMod and Amon_RA several times. I never get any error messages, it just installs, and tells me to reboot, but nothing ever changes.
That's why I'm going to try to Reset Data in EPST. I had heard elsewhere that my MSL doesn't match what Sprint has on file, or something like that, and that resetting data should fix this.
Anyway, Thanks a lot, I'll be back in 10-15 minutes with results!

Partial Success
As soon as Stock 2.2 booted up and got to setup, the texts started pouring in. Not sure what caused this, but it seems at this point like a Gingerbread issue. For good measure I opened EPST and did a data reset and updated PRL/Profile. I'm about to flash back to CM7 and see if the changes carried over.
It worked! It was that simple all along! Thank you! Just sent myself a text via email that I received on CM7!

If you rebooted in between installing each one, the radios should've updated. You might not notice any difference, but it should work. Glad to hear that your problem is solved!

Cannot connect to 3g

Hey whats up guys...im really not sure what the problem is but maybe some one has experienced with before..
My droid incredible cannot connect to 3g service...i tried installing all different kinds of roms even the latest gingerbread releases but still nothing.
Some times i allows me to connect to 1x but then you see the "3g" on the top but then it instantly disconnects.
Ive so tried 3 different radio from the NIS business sense release...all failed..
Any ideas?!?!?
Or if i just need the stock radio??

Aloha! I'll see if I can help.
1) Do a nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache then flash rmk40's gingersense leak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
3) Reboot and skip set up. Turn on 3G and even test it out for a bit. You should have whatever signal you are used to having return.
4) reboot into recovery and wipe cache, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache
5) Restore your latest Nandroid backup
Let me know how this works.

How would this fix any 3g issues by flashing a new rom and then returning to you old Rom with a backup? I seem to have an issue changing from 1X to 3g causing me to restart my phone at times to pick up the 3g signal again.

Primarily, the people who noticed this issue were/are folks who try out the various gingersense roms available. I've been a member of XDA since January and haven't noticed users in large numbers have issues with 3G until these roms came out. Whether it's due to there not being an official base or what, idk but many users have had these issues with 3G since the May unofficial gingersense leaks:
1) 3G being present and fully functional then disappearing from the notification bar altogether even while still being enabled in Settings
2) 3G signal dropping down to 1x and not displaying again until you perform a reboot.
I have experienced this issue and know this resolved it. This rom as well as Incubus26jc or JoelZ's stock OTA gingersense leak, for whatever reason, are a solution to resolve the 3g drop issue not the only solution. Incubus26jc, JoelZ, and Nils each have recommended and note this is a fix. My (non-fact and own) answer to you would be I believe since these three roms are the unaltered and "(un)official gingerbread Sense" files, they recorrect the 3G signal that is going awry.
Try it and let me know how this works. You don't stand to lose anything except a few minutes haha

This solution fixed my problem.

Dang it actually worked. Wish i had done this a while back. Thanks for the simple fix.

Not a problem, I'm just thankful there's a fix.

Accidentally worked for me too
I had the same problem on CM7. Flashing back to my stock 2.2 Android backup fixed the problem. Flashing back to CM7 and OMGB caused the problem to return. I am on the leaked ota now, I have flashed the gingerbread radio, and I am having no 3g issues. I wish that I had found this thread earlier.

Had this exact issue with synergy rls1 and was also told to flash the rom above to fix it. It worked for awile but then 3g issues would return again, even on non sense 3 roms and even on my old virtuous nandroid. If just flashing the above rom works for you and permanetly fixes it thats cool, but if your like me the only fix is to revert back to compleet stock and i mean compleet stock rom radio recovery boot img everything the only thing not stock would be you still want to have s-off as a matter of fact make sure to check you are s-off before going stock. Once stock you need to do a factory reset from the settings menu. What this does is it compleetley wipes your phone back to stock including wiping vzw programing, wich is the key to fixing 3g. Once your phone reboots from the factory reset you will be prompted to dial *228 option 1 to reprogram your phone. Once reprogramed your 3g will be fixed. From there flash clock work or amon ra recovery and then restore your favorite nandroid or install a new rom. I personaly would stay away from sense 3 roms as after fixing mine with the above steps i not thinking installed another sense 3 rom and broke 3g again making me fix it all over again. I have stayed away from sense 3 and havent had any problems since. Note if you have a compleete stock nandroid you can just flash that then flash stock recovery and radio do the factory reset .....

Well this is why Android is all about choice.

Well, I tried to install rmk's rom and that didn't work. I also tried to go back to stock with the RUU and the PB31IMG.zip file to do a factory reset, but that didn't work either. Are there any other suggestions that I can try?

If an ruu and a factory reset with new programing didn't fix your 3g issue its possibly hardware related. Can you still connect at 1x speed?

No, I called Big Red and they're sending out a replacement phone. I'm one of them weird people that don't use their phone as a phone too much, but I realized that I couldn't make or receive phone calls or texts either. We got that issue fixed, but they couldn't get the data working.
I guess the world of root is gone for me since it will probably come with Gingerbread on it already. Oh well, I'm probably going to buy a new phone in December anyway, so I'll have a new Dinc to put away in the drawer.

Looks like they are sending me a Rezound...JK. Actually, it looks like they are sending me an OG Incredible. I'll know more tomorrow and will let you know.
Thanks for the link to the root method. I have been studying it and I have all the files downloaded just waiting.
Edit: I did get an OG Incredible, but it came with Froyo on it. I should be good to go as far as rooting it goes. I think that I have an SLCD model though which sucks.

[Q] Generic network failure... HELP!

Let me start by saying, I have searched all of the treads for my phone, and the ones suggested before posting a new one, with no luck. I also searched all over other sites for an answer, about 3 hours now, and still nothing that quite fits my problem..
I have a Verizon HTC Inc2
-running 2.3.4
-Virtuous Unity v2.39.0
The problem I keep running into is that whenever I flash a new rom, or do a factory reset with clockworkmod, I can never get my phone to send or recieve MMS. It always says, generic network failure. I have tried with the HTC messages app and handsent app, both failed. The data icon in the notification area usually does not even show activity. I tried wiping the cache several times, restarts, changing data and wifi settings but to no avail. Funny thing is, I can restore my phone to the first backup I made, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and then MMS works.
Any ideas as to what may be happening? I can give you any additional info you need or ask as well. I'm not a total noob, but I feel like one right now. I just can't figure this one out on my own. Thanks!

General Network Error is when the system returns an error stating that you have no connectivity to send a message or an MMS (at least from my experience w/ it). I have this issue a lot with any messaging on my end because of shoddy reception. Which other ROMs besides Virtuous are you flashing that are giving this error? I know for a fact the CM7 has been having a LOT of issues with data connectivity. The last ones I remember hearing about with working data is #79 (or was it #80, I can't remember) and #85 and for a few people, #92.

I do have plenty of reception, always around 2 to 3 bars. Sorry I worded that wrong in my post, Virtuous is the only and first rom I flashed. I did it because Verizon OTA updates kept freezing my phone and I would get the blue android with the !. What I meant was, even when I did a factory reset, my MMS wouldnt work. First time I got that error, I was able to use bootloader and make a backup of eberything, then did a factory reset/wipe data and thats when I first noticed MMS was not working. So I copied the backup to my laptop, did another factory reset and format SD card, then I copied the backup to my card again, and did a restore with that backup. I restored data, cache, system, and boot I believe, and everything was back to normal and MMS was working. Unfortunetly I kept getting the OTA updates and each time, same problem, so this morning I read on a forum that a custom rom would prevent OTA updates, so I flashed Virtuous. I just found it odd that a normal factory reset, with no custom rom, would prevent MMS.
One more thing, not sure if its related, but I keep recieving messages from #6250 that say "VZWNMN: 1." Google searched that, most responses in forums are people saying they get the same thing and that Verizon told them they know nothing about it..

Have you tried a different radio?

People on CM were complaining of the same exact issue. They'd get bars of reception but MMS was just broken. I was just stating that when I try to send a message thru verizon and not google voice, I often get the same error message you're getting, which means that the data is being prevented from going out. I probably should've clarified that a little better lol. When you installed Virtuous, did you do a wipe data/cache and a wipe dalvik cache?
Also, if you restore back to your Gingerbread 2.3.3 that's rooted and your MMS is working fine there, then I don't believe it could be your radio. A possibility would be the kernel, but I doubt that Virtuous would package a kernel that would crash the MMS function. And since it's any SMS/MMS app, that knocks out the possibility of it being application based. The only thing I can suggest, would be to test out another ROM. If you're looking for sense based roms, go for BAMF's (http://www.teambamf.net) or Newt's Incredible 2 HD (http://www.themikmik.com). If you're looking for an AOSP based rom, go for CM7 (found on ROM Manager or at http://www.cyanogenmod.com) or MIUI (ROM Manager again, or http://www.miuiandroid.com). If you want a hybrid, I would suggest Skyraider Zeus (http://www.teambamf.net) or Gingersense (it can be found in the development portion of XDA). Remember when you flash a rom for the very first time, I'm sure you know this already, but you need to backup your rom first and then wipe data/cache and wipe your dalvik cache. Not doing either wipe before installing a brand new rom for the first time can cause unforseen errors.

Ok I found the answer while actually looking for new radios, so thanks for the post! haha
For all you out there who might run into the same problem, this is the solution I found..
Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)
1.Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).
2.Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.
3.Copy this file, ht tp://db.tt/9Ao5ErR, to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link'). This is an XML doc, sorry but since I'm new I can't just post a link, just remove the spaces between ht and tp.
4.Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.
5.You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.

All calls go to voicemail - Help

Hey Everyone,
I am running the SGH-T989 with the latest Darkside (2.3) ROM and kernel. Though new to the forums I have been "trolling" here for years and rooting and moding every phone I have had since ... well I can't remember when.
Never had any serious troubles, but suddenly, about 2 days ago I stopped getting incoming calls. It acts as though the phone is off and all calls go straight to voice mail, this happens when I have full signal, and I can still make outgoing calls. I have done full wipes, charged fully, tried it plugged in, not plugged in, on WIFI calling, on cellular networks, different ROMs, and nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

check under settings --call--- call rejection---auto reject numbers---should be off or the ones you want rejected...may got switched to all calls

Thanks for the response Bobby. Unfortunately I checked that after posting and it is set to off.
However I retired again and I am receiving calls now over Wifi calling, just not over cellular networks.
This is herring frustrating and of course the missus blames me for routing and ROMing

Ok,actuakly I tried to type retried but you gotta love auto-correct.

What about call forwarding?

Just checked and Call forwarding is set to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy / unanswered / unreachable is all set to voicemail.
Could that be the culprit even if I show full signal and am able to make out going calls? Should I disable any of those?

A few weeks back I had flashed a new rom and did a full app restore from Titanium backup. I had the same thing happen with call going directly to VM. I did a full wipe and re-flashed and then restored only missing apps and the problem went away. I assume it may have been a conflict with the restore. Might be worth a try. Good luck.

Yes if you restore system data that causes issues unless it's backed up and restored on the exact same rom.

I am having the same exact problem on Jugs 5.0... very interesting. I did not do a Ti restore, but rather just upgraded from one iteration of Jugs (3.7) to the latest.

But what happens when you don't restore any apps / data? I tried a fresh ROM install and prior to installing any apps I was unable to get any incoming calls (except when on WIFI calling).
Thanks for the help everyone. I guess its time to break down and contact Tmo and see what's up.

You beat me by seconds Poser. I tried Jugs 5.0 too and the problem still didn't go away.

By fresh install did you go into recovery and:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe davlik
4. mnt /system and wipe
5. flash ROM
I only ask, because I am wondering if "ghosting" is leading to mine and your problem?

Well, with the Darkside ROM has its own script to do a wipe ..... But, I'm a little OCD so, especially after having the problem I went through and wipe / re-wiped / wiped dalvik / re-wiped and factor reset.
Then after the flash (no matter what ROM that I have tried since having this problem) I fix permissions and then leave it for some time after boot to let it "settle in".
Hopefully the "ghosting" is your problem and the full wipes will help.

No dice, same problem. Wonder if it is an /efs problem?

Don't know but it is odd. I can still make outgoing calls, get data and everything else.

I have the same exact symptoms...exactly. It also just began a couple of days ago. Have you restored to bone stock via ODIN (I can't, my usb port is shot)?

Get a new sim card. If factory reset doesn't do it and you think its not network related and you don't think you accidentally blacklisted all your friends its probably the sim card.

Android_Monsters hit the nail on the head. I took it to a T-Mobile store, they replaced the sim and all is golden (except that my wife can now call me again )
And in case you are worried, my phone was still rooted / ROMed and the Tmobile rep working the store was simply stunned to see the custom boot screen. They didn't care in the slightest that the phone was rooted and ROMed. In fact he was upset because he couldn't do that because of company regulations.

Same here.... new Sim did the trick
Huh?

This happened to me b4 I called t-mobile and they fixed it without going anywhere.

[Q] Blazer 4.1 Bugs- No MMS

I recently upgraded from Blazer 4.0 rom with stock EL29 kernel- and modem to 4.1
and the only bug I can find is no mms function- It says sending- and it also said failed 2 times. tried sending to other people as a test- still not sent- although it says sending- had no problem with 4.0. I even tried switching kernel to gunslinger
but all that did was eat up battery at a ridiculous pace. ( used tegrak to set clocking to 1200, . I also flashed zip file for mms fix- and it didnt fix. Hopefully- someone can help out- tried clearing out sms cache. no help there.
I also wih there was a easy to id log & description of what zip file/fix for a respective bug- I really like this rom...but- contacting phantom hacker is- TOUGH.

If the updating prl doesn't work. You could try wiping the cache and dalvic in recovery then reboot. If worse comes to worse wipe everything and install again.

Try wiping everything and re-flashing.
For me, I had to connect to 4G because the 3G would not do.
Also, are you using any sort of program like GO SMS, Handcent, Chomp SMS?

Update profile and prl then reboot. This always worked for me.
Any mms in the "sending" stage wont go through unless you send another mms in that same thread. I usually just long press the pic and delete message then send another fresh

Use Root Explorer and go into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete the telephony.db file. I do believe that will work.

I think the only bug in 4.1 is the stock video codecs. 4.0 plays videos flawlessly in the stock video player but freezes on 4.1 or it just won't play avi's or wmv and etc.

Just start rom scratch my friend. Stock el29 with root one click then add cwm then back to blazer 4.1. I have heard about people complaining about that lately on Facebook so I could be sprint not your phone.
