My last problem (Phone says all my contacts and even random numbers are blocked)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357907 got worse. I decided to go back to EL29 but 3g doesn't work at all and doesn't even show up in the staus bar. 4g appears and says it's connected but doesn't actually work. Wi fi works fine, but can't text or call because I have no mobile data. So what options do I have left?
What's your modem?

Did you use odin or mobile odin? Mobile odin will not flash modems.

Did you flash another ROM first before going back to EL29?

Yes was on TW, reflashed twice and even flashed CM 10 then MIUI v4 before going to EL29. All clean flashes.
Only reason I ask is that I flashed an AOSP ROM and my APNs got out if whack.
So I just one clicked GB27 to start totally over fresh.

When u flash through odin there are pit, pda, phone csc etc. You havent use odin have u?
You can only flash .tar files in PDA, those are your standard set of files (ffs,data,cache,modem,kernel,etc).
You can flash .bin files only under PHONE.

i'll keep you posted.
just flashed it, so i'll report back around this time tomorrow i guess. i get crazy LOS while at work.
same here i'm flashing the modem now. i'll keep you posted.
im having issues with signal, ever since i got on ics fc07 and up im either constantly in roaming or not getting signal at all. when it says i dont have signal (circle with a slanted line in the middle) i try and make a call and it says "turn off airplane mode yes or no" but it isnt activated! any help would be appreciated, i wouldnt want to go back to gb nor earlier builds of ics
Flash the modems. In my opinion FC15 is the nest I've used so far. But it all depends on where you live. Just try flashing a bunch of different modems and see what works. Obviously the one your on now doesn't.
Sent from my iPhone killer.
I've seen that few times from FC07 but it never happens again from current FC15.
If you want to try, wipe all and apply Calk's format all then flash the rom & modem.
I think it would solve your problem. Let me know again, thanks.
Or just simply try FC15 modem and see how it goes...

if you still have recovery, i don't see any issue using Calk's FC15 modem. If you don't have, you can use odin or mobile odin.

You should start at the ns4g modem thread..... everything you've asked here is answered there... except maybe going back to cllean gb... if on an ns4g modem you won't be able to run any tw roms with it... but you can flash back to an epic modem pretty easily...
And I do believe that JB partitions different than other MTD ROMS and an Odin would be required to go backwards.

If you can type a response, you can type in the search box.
Or you could go look in development for the thread labeled NS4G modem patch. It's been in the top 10 for at least 2 weeks.
Or you could go here:

Seriously... your phone doesn't have google??? And just so you know... I don't even own a computer right now, so that's no excuse... I do all my posting and searching right from the trusty old epic 4g....
I installed the Nexus S 4G modem on CM9.1 using CWM5. It was a two-step process: install actual radio from .zip and then apply a patch to CM9.1 from .zip.
The KL2 radio is attached--I downloaded it from the Nexus S' forums, I think. The patch was available from the Epic Dev forum. The thread with the CM9.1 patch also had patches for other MTD ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037
When in doubt, restoring a CWM flash backup and using Odin to reinstall a Samsung modem returns you back to square one.
Today is my second day on the NS4G KL2 radio. With EC05/FC09 and CM7, the GPS was flaky and often refused to lock but battery life was stellar: with CM9, GPS just flat didn't work and the radios sucked the battery >5% an hour on idle. With KL2, GPS locks in the same indoor location within 5 seconds and the battery usage looks equivalent to CM7's, which for me was the best of all ROMs for battery life.

Well, things haven't really *changed*. The initial warning to use ODIN was just to be safe. But I ran through all the scenarios this morning to see what would happen and determine an easier solution.
My friend needs to flash his phone back to sprint, he flashed it to a mexican company, how do i get it back to sprint Thanks in advance
I'd think flashing a stock Rom for the exact model number should do the trick.

So there is no programming? Like PRL, or anything else?
PRL is the preferred roaming list. I'm pretty sure if you flash EL29 One Click Odin it should restore the phone to its Sprint like ways.

Find EL29 One Click from Sfhub and apply it. Then do ##786# and perform a factory reset from here as this will clear the NVRAM data. This should clear the NVRAM data and force a hands-free activation on Sprint during the next boot and solve the problem.

Everything in the ROM will be reset, but not the alternative carrier flash. I know because I'm flashed to cricket and used an Odin one-click to root with no adverse affects to my flash.
Other tools are needed to flash back to Sprint that i know of, but I'm not familiar with them, sorry. But...
If the phone was flashed to a Mexican carrier because it has a bad ESN with Esprint , then you're out of luck there. If the ESN is good, then check the link i found below. It's from Cricketusers but should apply to your current carrier (I'm saying SHOULD... Just trying to help and point the way).

I haven't messed with Metro since last year when I set up my wife with my a Sprint S2 on Caulkins ROM. I recall having to mess with setting manual APN settings to get data to work.
Is that still the case with these newer roms?

Not really, APN settings these days are usually in regards to getting MMS to work. I do recall losing my Metro flash while flashing ROM's around on my Droid 2 back in the day. Not sure if there's any situation in which the Metro flash could possibly be wiped with the Epic 4g Touch but that might be a thought to keep in mind. Good luck!
