Im guessing you are still rootedmaybe try factory reset.
Or Reflash your rom and see if that fixes.
Use twrp recovery. Noone has lost imei using it that im aware of. Everyone who did was using cwm.

@OP
Are you still stuck on edge? Maybe its bad timing and its actually an issue with tmobiles tower. And have you tried in a different area of town so your connected to a different tower?
This happened to me once and it was killing me for over a day before I called tmobile and they said the tower close to me had storm damage!
Have you tried all three available radios? Try flashing starting with the latest UVALH2 and working your way back to UVALG1 and UVALEM.
If its not on their end you may want to reinstall using odin or grab the update via kies if you haven't already. It'll rewrite the system which could fix it.

yeah there is, but you have to have a backup of your original IMEI... which i assume you do not have. there is a thread about this issue in the dev section, and toolkit to back up your IMEI
just out of pure curiosity, what recovery are you using?
Nope, I do not have a backup.
Just search in the development section for imei recovery and there is one to get it back even without a backup. Might be issues with you not actually getting 4g again but this way you can return it back to complete stock.

That's not true. Very experienced android flashers have lost theirs, it's a fluke within the recovery and flashing a rom or modem anything being flashed has been reported to make it being lost. Only thing is I think TRWP hasn't been reported to cause it being lost. Anywho... back it up.

Does anyone know of a fix? If I'm correct, it all happened after flashing Cyanogen Mod 10, the stable release, from there the connection was either "G" or just "E."

Go to settings and see if imei is missing or has a 0. If it does try the fix in the development section. If that doesn't work, use triangle away to remove the flash counter to 0 and then coding stock unrooted and send it to Samsung.

This maybe completely random. But I have noticed a very strong E signal whenever my phone is not using more than that. After adding the account and a reboot. Try downloading something. It should automatically reset itself and try to find the 4G even if the 4G gives less bars than the E.

Is your IMEI still at 0, or did you get it back to what it should be?
Edit:
If your IMEI is at 0, you need to follow the IMEI injection section of the first post of the thread I linked. If you have recovered your IMEI and still have data connection issues, you need to see Post 3 of the same thread.

Hi!
I really new to the scene and I have searched a lot trying to figuring this out but not luck so far
I flashed Jelly Beans 16 to my t889 almost a week ago, after reading that it was compatible with my tmobile GN2 even though is for verizon, everything works great but I can't get the mobile data to work correctly. push notifications wont work, apps that requiere internet wont work... Edge icon says I’m connected, APN settings are correct, the only thing that works is whats-app while on mobile data, or opening a web page in the browser (but it takes ages and I will get connection errors most of the time), so somehow its receiving data.
After much reading, found and app that displays mobile connection info and indeed it says I'm connected and how much data has been downloaded/uploaded already... it also says the radio is unknown!!!!! (please see the attached images)
How can I fix this??? any help will and is totally appreciated
my guest is flash a radio that is compatible with this rom but I can't find any info in how to just do that. I already flashed the T889UVBMB4 modem and it stills says radio/serial unknown/(some numbers) so I assume that the modem and radio are a different thing... are they?
Can anyone can point me in the right direction???
Thanks a zillion!

I can use whatsapp, navigate slow as hell, but push notications wont work no matter whaT!! I don't think anymore that my problem is the rom as I flashed stock and same thing NADA!
But the think that got me really frustasted was the "phone expert" at the company after taking the phone in his hands for a minute, came up with all his wisdom: "everyrhing is ok you can navigate; but wont receive push notifications"
I already know that you!!!! You!! Mot_#\×£ €=€÷£@( ... ...
Long story short, I took the phone to the competition and asked if my phone would work in their network, they charge more but are faster! the guy kindly put a micro sim and pum!!! 3g Internet on my phone to try!!! I couldn't check notificatios but waze was working and that alone sold me out!! Im changing company tomorrow if God allows me!

Odin is the reason I will never leave Samsung again. It's so easy to fix a brick if you mess up.

Thank you! Honestly I read a post here that advised against using Odin... as I newbie I take advises really seriously until I have the knowledge to make educated choices , I will make a backup of my phone using cwm and then flash stock with odin just to see if I can get the edge signal to work without any glitches, if not... I will reload the backup and go back to the rom Im using (which I luv)and change phone company!
wish me luck!!!!

If you go in about phone, status, does your IMEI match the one on the sticker under your battery?
Check the baseband listed there as well, is it a Verizon or a T-Mobile one?
Verizon has some HSPA support for roaming, but I'm not aware of them having AWS enabled.

The problem came when i updated to CM, i noticed that i could not get 4G. After that, i searched online and read some problems about peoples IMEI being 0. Sure enough i had the same problem, so i followed this threads instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117 and managed to restore my IMEI(also flashed back to stock and phone is now unrooted). Now im stuck, i have searched online for hours for a solution to get my 4g back, but most threads are dead. Can someone give me some info for a solution to this problem im experiencing?

Hi I'm having the same issue and hopefully you can help me.
I rooted my phone like two weeks ago. And installed CWM and CM 10.1 or something like that. Then I remember I updated the CM
And little by little I started loosing HSPA+ or something like that then loosing 3G and when I found out it was only working
EDGE. I went online and read something about imei 0. And in fact my imei had been lost
I was able to inject the imei (I didn't have a back up) but I'm still stuck on EDGE.
I've read I could flash a stock firmware but the only access to internet I have is from my phone
And I cannot download a 615MB file on edge. Please help.
I would like to be able to get 3G back.

hey, sorry to be a bother, but i've also had with the same issue as of Thursday. phone is stuck with only edge for data. I'd flashed a CM nightly on Thursday, didn't know my backup had been cleaned off my sd card, and lost all data connection. went back to stock firm, no imei, fixed that issue but still only 2g data. If you need any more info just say the word. Any help is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
I'm freaking out. I've spent the past 3 hours reading IMEI articles and I have no idea idea what I'm doing. I'm using CM10 and my IMEI is 0. I never backed up anything because I had no idea I needed to. I don't know what to do :crying:

For those who come across this thread in the future, just PM me. No need to post here first. Just tell me your device model, current Rom, and current status.
It's just a lot easier and quicker when I don't have to monitor multiple threads. Thanks!
