[Q] VirginROM v2.5.5 (4.4) Radio Issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I can not figure out how to get my radio to work with VirginROM v2.5.5. I have looked through the development thread for this rom, and have not found any info about people having no network connectivity. What I have found were posts about intermittent LTE issues, which have not solved my issue of connecting to tmobiles network.
This is what I have done:
1. I installed VirginROM 2.5.5 with an older version of CWM.
2. I updated CWM to 6.0.4.4 and installed the rom, which did not work.
3. A friend had a similar network issue with his Note 2 and a kit kat rom. He told me to reinstall the rom again after the initial install, but this did not solve my network connectivity issue.
4. I installed previous versions of virgin rom and then updated to 2.5.5, and I still cannot connect to tmobile.

You need to ODIN flash the mk2 modem.bin file. Search in XDA or the thread to find it.

You must flash the modem if you are having any issues otherwise it is pointless for anyone at XDA to help you out since this is a remedy to a widely known problem. Try it first and report back if it persists.
For the hell of it, check your APN settings.

I personally flashed the Mk2 modem via odin. wouldn't hurt to check the modem settings on your phone either.
go to dialer (after flashing your modem) *#*#4636#*#* and ensure that your on the appropriate settings

wifi not connecting after rooting?

I can search and enter the password but it stops at obtaining IP address. It still connects on my other devices so its not the wifi itself. I just rooted using the latest method with Odin. I tried the unroot with Odin method (which didn't even unroot) just went back to factory kernel (ok?). Also km not sure how to get my old version of Swype back so I can completely 4ever if I wanted to. Any advice would be awesome, thank you I'm advance.
Odin crawrj's odexed or deodexed with Busybox and root....depending if you will be using themes..then Odin bubby's pulled stock kernel or Chris41g's LoSt kernel or his stock with CWM kernel. I had same issue but with 4G and this method fixed it right up

I'd like to be stock, with a "stable"kernel.
I'm having a similar issue. I rooted for the first time this weekend, and my wifi will no longer connect. It starts scanning for networks, but then just turns off after a few seconds.
I messed up while rooting, so I had to unroot, update to EK02, then rooted it. I'm also running LauncherProPlus, if that helps.
Its been my experience that flashing a different modem version will alter everything from 4G to wifi to your connection strength to the sprint network. There is a good thread in the stickies section explaining how to do this.

latest CM10 nightly no mobile data

I'm on Sprint using the latest official nightly. However, I am unable to get my mobile data to work. I am using the EI22 radio. I've also verified that the Sprint APN is present. Out of desperation, I even tried to flash the alternate carrier data fix to no avail. Can anyone offer me some hope or suggestions?

When you go into "About phone" does it show the correct baseband version, or does it show "unknown"? More than once my phone has lost the modem when flashing a nightly. When that happens I haven't had much luck flashing a modem. I've had to re-install the modem using Odin. I downloaded the appropriate modem from this link: http://www.nubecoder.com/files/android/SPH-D700/modem/
Stock setup on CM10 is with the FC09 modem.
Hope this helps.

[Q] T889v /T889 Issues

Hi,
I just created this thread to see how many are facing issues with flashing modems and how they caused it. Basically this is to pin point root cause and also to help people stuck with bootloops or lost imei
You need to provide
1) Model number like T889v or T889
2) ROM /kernel used
3) Type of recovery used TWRP /Clockwork with version if possible
4) Which modem you flashed....if phone is 889v , did you flash 889v modem
5) Did you lose IMEI , if Yes then how did you fix it ? Did your backup worked ?
You guys are free to add more questions.
This is a good post, it will help those out who are looking to flash but are reluctant; in that they know not of the potential problems. Also you should include those who have no problems with their device, and what set-up they're using and how they went about to achieve that set up.

Look in the N7105 forum here in XDA. There is a unified build that covers N7105 variants including the T889.

Wi-fi issues bother me to hell..

I posted what I'm about to post in the Q&A section already but I have yet to have a reply. I figured, why not try it here. Anyways, here goes.
Hello XDA community, my brother has been having wi-fi and bluetooth issues on his T-MO Note II ever since applying the 4.3 OTA. When I try to enable Wi-fi, it will slide to the on position greyed out, stay there a second, and automatically turn itself off. Before I go on, the first thing I did was use CF-auto root and flash both agni pure stock and devil kernel and neither of them have worked. In addition, I have used dr.ketans patch as well as flashing some AOSP based ROMs such as AOKP and SlimKat and neither of them have yielded any results. I have tried almost everything I can find via XDA and I am truly stumped.
Do you guys have any solutions to the wifi issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:

[Q] Flashed Truelyclean script on M919V, 4G no longer works

Hello xda community,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355
I flashed Truelyclean (link above), a script that removes samsung bloatware but after, my phone would not connect to my carrier's 4G network anymore. I flashed the correct stock 4.4.2 firmware for Wind Mobile from Sammobile, did a factory reset, made sure network mode was set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM but it still would not connect to 4G. It only connects to 3G and HSPA+ which is less reliable on Wind's network.
Does anybody have a fix for this?

Try reflashing or updating your modem.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction. I flashed some M919 and other modems and it failed, so I checked if there was any modem files in the official firmware and they were there. I thought pressing phone would only flash the modem but it ended up re-flashing the whole thing but it works now. Thank you.

Well you're problem was solved, even if it was by accident. To flash a modem you need the actual modem file or you have to extract it from the firmware. The main thing is that your up and running.
You need to do back ups before you try flashing stuff, especially old unsupported mods, so you can flash back to a running state.
