[Q] What happened to my 4g?

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I've lost my 4g. It always says E or G with data. I have stock backed up as well as different ROMs I've flashed and they all do the same. Data is checked in settings, so that's not it. Any ideas?

Have you checked your IMEI?

I have not. Forgive my ignorance, but where do I check that?
Edit: just looked up on Wikipedia, and it said to use *#60# and it say 0.
That doesn't sound good.

If you had backed up with su > nvbackup, there wouldn't be a problem right now. Hopefully you can get it sorted, but people in your situation have had mixed results at best. I think this is the thread you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
Good luck.

I hate to sound so pathetic, but is it relatively easy? I'm good at many things, but sometimes some things just seem so far over my head.

Galaxy S3 Says E on Connection

Recently I flashed cm10, but after using it I realized that the data connection was terribly slow and instead of 4g/3g, it just shows the arrows and an E. I even odined to stock and it still has this. My family's sgs3's still have 4g. How can I fix this?

The connection still has an E
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.

Read the imei injection portion and go from there and search the thread if you have any questions. That is a very well written thread and should not be to hard to take the time to read it and fix the issue yourself.

Its been covered everywhere on that subject but I never read into it, and my computer is upstairs and I don't feel like moving soooooo you can search it lol. If no one or yourself gets it before I move I might help some more. Try searching "no 4g after injecting IMEI"

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.

Depending on where you live..and T-Mobiles coverage where you live this may be the best you can get. Your phone is capable of 4G...but can only recieve 4G service if 4G is available in your area.

I had to wait to edit my post...to me it seems like he needs to reflash the radio or try a hard reset...or maybe unroot himself and deal with stock...I see more issues with rooted users..than people like me that run stock unrooted.

[Q] Where is the 4G toggle?

Hi guys I need help finding out on how to turn on 4G because I am constantly on Edge/2G, there's nothing in settings and I have tried several apps from the Play Store but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check your IMEI.

EDIT: Okay I see its 0...

Im doing Odin back to stock maybe that would help?
Edit: I just realized that when I tried getting my IMEI back I deleted the efs folder but I did make backup of it so now im in Factory Mode and even if I Odin back to stock it didn't do a thing, everything I had is still there.
Edit 2nd time: Out of factory mode but I cant figure out how to restore IMEI, any help?

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.

Thanks for the help I got it working

tried that too.. still no dice..i also read somewhere changing the spc to 000000 might help, but no dice with doing that either. I also read somewhere that when updating to jb 4.1.2 it killed the 16 digit code, but reverting back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.1 brought it back. So im going to try that next.. ill update, thanks garwynn

Just to update.. Yes flashing back to ICS fixed the problem i was able to use default samsung pw. Weird how this doesn't work on JB 4.1.2

[q] sprint samsung galaxy note ii 6 digit/msl code

I was wondering if anyone new any way to obtain the 6 digit/ msl code? I have tried calling sprint and doing online chat and they seem to not be able to see anything. I have also tried connectbot, msl reader, and the emulator app. Thanks in advance.

What rom are you on. I believe toichwiz 4.3 has an issue getting msl. So you might want to try it on 4.1.2
