Broken radio? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

After flashing the new darkside rom I lost all data and all signal icons. I even reinstalled my back up and same thing. Is my radio broke? If so how do I fix it. I'm using hotel wifi now. Any help would be appreciated

I'm using the LC8 radio with no problems yet. Did you run the darkside cache wipe after flashing? Most of my problems came with not running that. Although data drops have been a known bug with the UCLE leak, but I think TJD got it taken care of.

Make sure you also run the cache wipe that fixes permissions after you flash everything, that usually clears up bugs that are left. Good luck!
Crap, just saw the above post with the same info.....

if you go to ics you have to flash the pics radio if you go back to gb you have to flash a gb radio.

My guess is the same as madblaster's. You need to use a radio that corresponds with gb or ics if you arent already. Darkside cache wipe it and youll be good to go i think.

always wipe if you have a problem with a rom and you know its been fixed
Well everything else works completely fine. Its just that roaming icon but I don't wanna reflash just to get rid of that one little problem is there a way I could could get rid of it without reflashing I'm on an evo by the way

Need help getting a Epic to run smooth......

So I rooted my boys epic and installed the ACS Frozen rom, everything seemed to be fast as hell for about a week but all the stock rom lag has returned..... so my question is what kinda setup are you guys using to keep a very smooth and fully functional setup going? I seed you don't have any AOSP roms that seem to be functioning at this time so what can I do to get this thing running like an AOSP rom? Thanks guys!

Ok, right after flashing the ROM did you flash the journal on zip? Also, are you/he rebooting once a day. If yes to both, try booting to recovery and wipe Cache partition and Dalvik cacke 3x and reboot.

Journal on zip ensures stability in case your battery dies or you drop the phone and the battery pops out. You can get bombarded with force closes or data corruption. Usually lag can occur from the cache filling up. That's why I recommended wiping it. Here is the journal on zip. Just boot to recovery and flash. You might as well wipe the cache and Dalvik to see if that fixes the lag also. So, wipe those and flash this zip...

If you are on SRF 1.2 with journal on and a Genocide kernel, you are using a really good Froyo setup. You can always grab the ACS Updater app from the Market and try one of the many good themes. The Gingerbread ROMs are all based off of the leak as we don't have the official yet but many people are having good results. Oh, almost forgot....there is a flashable add on Hotspot hack so you can use the Hotspot for free!!! it is in the Development section. Make sure you use the one specifically for SRF though

I had problems running Genocide for some reason, but Twilight runs perfect for me. Could try that too.

Shameless plug!! and it IS very good!!

Is anyone else having this problem?

My phone keeps hot rebooting with ics...it takes about 10 hours and freeze then hot reboot and time goes to gmt0...i can't take this any more...could it be an app that's not compatible? And how do i find out i have 150 apps..? This did not happen in gb...us anyone else getting this? Once it hot reboots out will keep doing it until i reboot into recovery and wipe caches...then is fine for another 10 hours...I'm rooted stock tmo le1 with darkside v3#5 kernel and touch cwm 5813 but was happening with stock kernel too...I've wiped data when i upgraded too...should i try a custom rom? I'm afraid if i go through that i will have the same result if it's an app doing it..

There was a similar issue on aokp & cm9 that eugene373 just fixed. It would random reboot into bootloops. I wouldn't think it'd be an app. Try flashing darkside cachewipe, will wipe both caches and fix permissions. If that doesn't fix I'd try a new Rom. And ds superwipe before installation.

I love ds kernel so i think i would use his rom..i just don't want to go through all of that if it's an app i can just delete...is there any app or any way like logcat that would tell me what's causing this hot reboot?
Edit...i have system tuner pro could that find the problem? Because if an app not compatible with ics then any ics rom i will have this problem

Are you overclocking, setting governors and under volting? If so return to stock settings and see if it persist. But I would at least try the darkside cachewipe if you haven't already. Here is a link for getting a logcat of the issue

No data on att and 4.2

I flashed bigxie's 4.2 image last night and everything ran fine, or so I thought. As soon as I left my house in the am and I wasn't getting any data. Calls and texts were going no problem. Thought maybe it was a bad flash or something. Reflashed. Same problem. Returned to stock 4.2 using the toolkit and still the same problem. So I restored to 4.1.2 stock and I finally had data again. I flashed the cataclysm 4.2 ROM and no data again. Flashed latest CNA and I have data.
Does my phone just not like 4.2?? What's going on here??

Not sure if the problem is fixed or not but everything is working. Here's what I did in case anyone else needs help with this same problem.
I restored to 4.1.2 using the toolkit and then waited until the phone got the ota and updated using that to 4.2 (I did this the first time and had data, then went into the settings and did a factory restore and ended up with no data. So I repeated the process without the restore and it all worked.) I then used the toolkit to root and install CWM recovery. Still running stock 4.2 but everything is working and I am a bit nervous in flashing a custom rom until I can figure out if it may have just been a ATT problem in my area or some kind of glitch with my phone.
Hope this helps anyone else that may have the same weird problem.

Greyed out data connection in aosp and aokp roms

Keep getting Greyed out connection have to clear cache and data returns. It says I have full bars but no actual data. What's the issue?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
What version of the ROMs are you running? The grey bar as opposed to the blue bar just means you are not connected to your Google account. You should see a logo above the bars saying 4G, H, or 3G if you have data, regardless of the color.
There is a known issue in the latest cm10.1 nightly builds that cause loss of data. Not sure about AOKP unfortunately.

There are various fixes for the data issue that people have reported success with - re-flashing modems, toggling the mobile data setting repeatedly, playing with APN settings (turn off mobile data, reboot phone, toggle APN setting to something else and back, re-enable mobile data), etc.
Have you looked through the 4.2 threads here?

I would say wipe and reflash. I don't think anyone on Tasks ROM is having this issue. I for one know I'm not. Are you on his latest 12.23 version?

It's definitely not specific to any rom it happens on aosp roms no matter who makes it. I will try a re flash but I have done that plenty times. I its honestly random and then requires a reboot
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I have had a similiar problem in the past and couldn't find a fix. I looked for a good bit but had other options i wanted to try anyway so the answer is probably out there. However after i flashed a the next newest version things were ok. That shouldn't be long in this case and hopefully it works for you.
