I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD phone from Softbank in Japan. I have rooted the device successfully and installed Cyanogen 7 Nightly ROM and everything was working fine, However the battery was draining crazily. I found from one of the threads that to fix the problem i need to update the radio. Hence, I updated the radio to 26.04.02.17_M2 as suggested by many people.
Ever since, I am not getting my 3g signal at all, however I can make phone calls and connect to wifi.
I tried installing a different ROM Leedroid 1.5.1 and same problem persists.
Current config
baseband : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Android : 2.2.1
Build: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Million thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction on how to sort this issue.
Help please
I have found that the problem is connecting to softbank APN. Any help??
SoftBank APN (001HT)

Softbank restricts MMS applications using a custom User Agent string. This is probably why it's not working but I'm not sure if someone has created a customized MMS APK for your ROM.
I think I know what the problem is, but to really help, I need to know which country you are currently resident in.

The easiest way to use MMS with SoftBank is by using the SoftBank mail app.
Go here and click on the SoftBank MMS section for info.
This thread is back in February.
When you change rom you need to make sure that you are using the correct APN (Access Point Name) which came with your phone (in the original rom).
The APN is basically the address and password which is used to access your carrier's data/internet access.
You can use a program like APN Backup & Restore which saves your APN info in an .xml file which you can easily restore when you flash a new rom.
Some roms have many APN's listed for you to choose but your's might not be listed or included, plus if you choose the wrong one it can cost you a LOT of money in wrong data fees. (I made this mistake a few years ago with a SoftBank Windows Mobile phone which cost me $1000 equivalent in Japan.)
So get the program above and save your original APN which you are using. (whichever is checked if you have a few listed.)
Then when you flash a new rom - immediately disable Mobile Network (in settings) and install APN Backup & Restore and then delete the new rom's APNs and restore your APN. Then make sure it's checked, switch on Mobile Network and you should be OK. (I reboot and then check it's still checked afterwards). Like I said, if you use the wrong APN, you can get crazy billing fees - regardless of whether your original contract is unlimited packets or not.
I hope this helps.
hello guys, I do not know if I did some messing around with the radio but can not connect over the 3G network.
My model is a standard a3333 with the last available radio and it connects only in G mode.
what can i do to solve this problem?
i've already done a full reset/wipe of everything before install the last stable cyanogen mod 7.0.2
Thank You
Tom
Your APN settings might be wrong

I checked several times and the settings are correct
As it is a custom rom, u might check if there are any incompatibities / bugs in that.
And there is one more rare possibility. This might not be the thing with u.
In network settings, under network mode, there will be options lie GSM only, WCDMA only, GSM / WCDMA. That option should not be GSM only. Preferred option is GSM / WCDMA. Also try WCDMA only. Check that once. And it also depends on the 3G network availability at that place at that time (since if 3G is unavailable, it will shift to 2G)
Could you check in HBOOT and tell me which Radio you have?

Hi all I have just registered on xda but i'm using it from quite a while.
I'm using htc wildfire bought from my friend fresh from box it was in Era operator currently t-mobile. My operator is Orange. I was using my phone with stock rom for about 10months and decided to root it and flash custom rom. I used guide from this site and after bricking it second attempt was successful. So I was using CM7 installing apps and all over. And now i have really serious problem. My phone tells me there is no service.
What I done trying to repair:
Changing 2g to 3g and back.
Restart
Factory reset from menu
Factory reset from CWM
Battery pull
dialing *#*#4636#*#*
re flashing radio
Installing newer version of CM7
Some of methods seems to work for about 1-3days. But now none of them is working...
Please help

Ok thanks for really fast reply.
temporarily seem to work factory reset. dialing *#*#... also seemed to work for some time.
My radio is Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 that one was original and i flashed the same version, but I'm not sure if this is the problem.
Now I'm using my old phone so sim card is good.
EDIT:
My wifi is not working. Possible reason: I was playing with reverse tethering and one method via wifi required to put wpa-suplicant or something like that. Maybe this file also corrupted rest of services? GPS works fine...

well, doesn't look to be the radio - but that's just guessing. Did you get those problems directly after rooting and installing CM7 or did it work initially?

After rooting and installing CM7 everything was perfect that was about 4 months ago. Problems with cell service started when i changed my sim card to surf over internet, and then i used notification bar application 2g/3g to force 3g. And since then I have problems, somewhere i read there could be problem with sim connection. Now i'm using my htc without sim card and when i dial *#*#4636 in gsm disconnects: DATA State DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 00:59 fail because No Error. And What I noticed when i wanted to change network type in this menu it was returning always to previous state... What is interesting my phone tells me that signal strength is: -79dBm 19asu.

i suggest to carefully check your APN settings and try out the different modes for mobile data (force wcdma might fail in some conditions if I'm correct - check prefer and the other modes, too, if they'll do)

APN settings are correct. I checked them on orange site, on many forums and tried them all. Currently my phone runs wdcma preffered. Now i'm about 20-30m from the transmitter. And still "no cervice". Any other ideas? Somebody told me to install stock rom and then install cm7 on it. But i have no idea how to do it. I can't remember i wrote this before but wifi is working. Sim card is good but i'm using it on nokia 6030. I tried even to put some paper to push harder sim card to better contact and no result.
Hmm, so if you double checked the apn settings and you did activate data in settings/network& wireless and if the SIM seems to be ok it's indeed a good idea to flash a different radio... look at the index thread linked above - all the files and information there. Try the radio that ends with 18.25 (bear in mind to use clockworkmod 2.5.x for flashing).
If that still doesn't work, just flash the current one again to see if that will do (radio problems usually are caused by the missing possibility to wipe or format the radio partition itself).

Have you tried to restore the backup of your stock rom with the new sim?
This may solve the problems associated with Sim Toolkit
If everything works you just have to do a clean install of CM7
is an attempt, but if you do not know what else to do ... (I would try) :silly:

Ok. My friend have htc wildfire on stock ROM. I would like to make copy of his ROM. I know i need to s-off his phone, push revolutionary recovery, and just make backup? If I'm thinking right this would give me zip of his ROM that I can copy to my SD-card and install it like other ROMs?
Thanks in advance for repy.

If you are s-off then download the first rom in this post, drop it on your sd card and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then boot into hboot and let it update. When your phone boots up again it will be stock but still s-off so you won't need to mess about unlocking everything again.

Used stock ROM. Installed. Tried all the radios in the meantime and still no signal.
God please say that You have more ideas.
imo it's broken gsm module (antenna). try to flash some other roms, maybe it will work.

I had my phone working fine on 2.3.6, but I have recently flashed my ROM.
I followed these EXACT instructions (http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2013/08/update-samsung-galaxy-wonder-i8150-to-android-jelly-bean/) and afterwards, I couldn't see Virgin Mobile UK as a Network Operator to connect to. So I can only use WiFi. (However, I saw T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and Three. It automatically connected me to T-Mobile, but nothing worked)
I thought it may be a problem with the ROM, so I used the Stable release of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120340 ... I have the same problem.
I've now tried a third: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401757 ... still doesn't work.
It can't be the ROMs... Could I need to upgrade my baseband? I don't really know what a baseband is, just what hours of Googling has brought up.
How can I fix this?

Hi everybody,
I'm totally new in this flashing world and I was messing around with my new Xperia Z1 Compact trying to get Kit Kat installed because when I bought the phone it came with JB 4.3. I flashed Latest KitKat Nordic 14.3.A.0.757 unbranded, and everything worked like a charm until I discovered that I lost 4G connection (It only connects to 3G). I went to settings to select network, and LTE is checked.
I was reading about this matter and it seems that nordic ROM doesn't support LTE Band 7 (2600Mhz) which is the band in my carrier. I tried flashing Central Europe Rom and Global rom for journalists found here in the forums. None of them seems to support my LTE band. I want to know if there is any way to recover 4G changing any setting or if you know a link to any generic ROM compatible with LTE Band 7 (2600Mhz), or if there is any way to revert to my original Jellybean 4.3 ROM using PC Companion or Sony Update Service. Any help will be very apreciated.
Hello,
I am using the Generic UK .757 on a BAND4 LTE network in Canada.
you have checked off the first thing to do from the checklist..
second is to make sure your APN settings are correct.
All these are simple, but if still no luck, some labour is in order.
Need to do full wipe and clean re-install
IF you are not rooted, just launch Sony PC companion with the phone NOT CONNECTED and do a repair. It should by default take you to KK
At the time of flashing, You probably had the wrong boxes checked and unchecked in the WIPE and Exclude boxes..
I'll try the two options
Thanks guys for the responses.
First I'll try to flask UK ROM to see if finally I get kitkat working on my phone. If this doesn't work I'll take the second option with PC Companion to restore the original ROM. I'll post the results.
It seems this rom doesn't work for me

Hi Phil,
I found UK rom in this forum ver. .681 and flashed it, then I downloaded OTA update to .757. So far the problem remains. I discovered that I was wrong about My LTE Band, is 7 not 4. Apparently there's a carrier in UK with band [email protected] same as here (Colombia), so theorically this rom should work, but this is not the case. I'm trying to change more settings without luck. If you know something to help me, it would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Hi jewelkobayashi,
I tried the method you wrote, but, despite the phone being disconnected, it downloaded the same ROM that I recently have flashed (GLOBAL .757 commercial and Journalist). Is there any other way to download the original Phone ROM . I know my original ROM is GLOBAL-14.2.A.1.114 and the customization number is 1281-3723. I haven't found any site to download this exact firmware. If you know something, it would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure about your customization number? Because it gets changed if you flash another firmware. Here's everything you need to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52011642 to download your firmware. By the way, what's your country, branding and SI-Number (so I can add your customization number to the list)?

Stop flashing random ROMs and check your settings! Unless you have a different model phone than the rest of us (there are three, D5503, M51w and SO-02F), then ANY Z1C (D5503) ROM will work, but they come with different APN lists as bundling every carrier in the worlds APN settings would be a waste of space. Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, and edit or create the correct APN in there. Look at a friends phone or on your carriers website for the correct settings. This is your problem, no doubt about it.
Please note that some carriers (mine included) have a special APN for LTE. E.g. standard is internet.tele2.se, LTE is 4g.tele2.se on my carrier.
...I have no idea where you're getting your data from, because literally every LTE network in the Nordics uses band 7.
Finally it worked

Thanks for your response. I verified APN settings with friend's phones and it was identical. Finally I called my carrier's help desk and after some try/error setups with them, they gave me an alternate APN that worked until I came home where 4G icon dissapeared again. Then, I was surprised with helpdesk response when I called them again. "There is no 4G coverage in your home area". O.O What is intriging to me is that the phone displayed 4G all the time when I just bought it (Even with restarts and wherever i was) and this changed only when I flashed a generic rom. Is just a silly assumption, but, is possible that carriers can make things like force 4G icon in their custom roms to make advertising or something like that? Just asking. Anyway, Thanks a lot for the responses.

Emmm do you have a manual to how to use the ussd??
I went into it to check it out, I touched I don't know what...
And now I can no longer connect to my network provider...
(reboot doens't helps, changing to wdmca or gsm or other options doesn't changes, VPN seems ok, I have no signal... )
Help!!!
Ok, this is what I did to screw it all
Go to the ussd *#*#4643#*#*
Go to phone info
Go to setings and Select radio band
It gives me the option of GSM/UMTS band = USA Band
-> I no longer have WCDMA or GSM connection :S
(LTE still works...)
Now, how do I go back to my previous options? or does it has nothing to do with it, and the problem is something else?
EDIT> problem solved, I had to reflash my ftf by just updating the FOTA (not sure I needed this...) and the BASEBAND... Now I am back up and running again.. >D
