Hi all. I've looked for weeks through hundreds of threads for a solution to my problem but haven't found a solution. My apologies if one exists.
I am running an odin-rooted EL29 stock rom. I have downloaded various versions of the Wifi Tether app but am running 3.1-beta11 right now. I can get my Win7 Pro laptop to see my phone's wifi but cannot successfully connect to the internet with it. The wifi icon in the system tray continues searching after I tell it to connect.
I've followed the many tutorials on how to do this but none of them work. Does anyone here have any solutions for me to try? Please, of course!
Okay, so I just noticed the sticky at the top of the list about Wifi and others for EL29. All of these fixes look like brand new ROMs, though. I would rather not wipe everything and start clean if I don't have to.
I too had many problems with WiFi and WiFi tether. I actually went to the WiFi Tether home page and dl'd every version there. I paintakingly install each until I found the only one that worked was version 2.0.7. Only problem with this version is that encryption doesn't work.
Also, and I presume you are with Sprint, keep in mind that most of the newer ROMS have the Sprint HotSpot app working fully including encryption and for free.
I tether all my wifi machines to either WiFi Wireless Tether or Sprints HotSpot.
Good luck,
Here is link to WiFi Wireless Tether HOME: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
IF Ive helped, HIT the Thanks button.....
Have you tried going into the settings and under change setup method change it from Auto to WEXT(adhoc)
I was having a similar issue and that seemed to work for me.

I don't think Beta 11 works. That was my experience. Beta 6 & 7 worked then I figured I should upgrade to the latest and tried 11 and it didn't work. Saw a few other people who also had problems with 11 and went back to either 6 or 7. I know for sure 6 & 7 work on Stock but haven't tested any other ROMs.
The Calkulin 2.8.1 Rom can be flashed without wiping your settings and data. Just wipe cache and Dalvic cache and flash the Rom. Make a Nandroid backup first of course. I have flashed this Rom over stock several times with no issues at all. The Rom has the Hotspot hack which lets you use the Sprint Hotspot software which works perfectly and Sprint has no idea that you are using it.
This is what worked for me on a stock rom, Odin rooted + CWM.

Hi all, I am again posting about having radio issues. (NO T-Mobile signal) Any 4.2 Rom I try to install, I am unable to obtain phone service. (signal)
Here is what I did:
1. Start from scratch, total erased phone and sd card and micro card.
2. Odin flash stock Rom and Odin flash latest TWRP
3. Copy Rom to SD card and flash. (flash is fine)
4. No signal, flashed newest UVM6 radio, all kind of wipes.
My phone is SGH-T989 T-Mobile. I even changed the APN, but still only pick up AT&T which still having no signal bars. I tried flashing all radios available with no help at all. I am able to use certain 4.1.2 Roms such as Infamous 3. I even tried different kernels, different wipes and just can not get any T-Mobile signal service. I have tried searching for any and all radio issues for this phone. NOTHING works for me. Can anyone or does anyone have same problem that came up with a solution to get a signal for T-Mobile for these Roms? I am currently using the Infamous 3 Rom using Arc kernel. Actually the only other Rom I can use it the stock deodexed rooted base. Very frustrated not being able to use these great looking Roms, HELP please! Thanks for any information or solution. BTW, I have tried everthing and every type of wipe to no avail.
do you still have your IMEI or does it shows blank and unknown ??
I am having the same issue. It does show my imei # though. How do I fix this?

Oh boy.....again.
K....here is about everything. If none of this is your problem, since you say you've checked everything....and yes, I have read your other thread....in which you repeatedly say you tried everything, then you have a hardware issue, or are simply doing something wrong and telling us you did it right.
Not getting a signal.....
- not using latest T-Mobile or Telus radio. Maybe you flashed it, but is it actually showing as that radio in settings??
- APN settings are wrong or don't exist. Lets pause here. You said you checked apn and only pick up at&t. Or am I misreading that. If you don't have the correct T-Mobile apn settings, then you wont get a signal or data. Period. This has to be correct before bothering with anything else. You said you checked. Against what?? I've seen plenty of apn settings when Googling it, some simply don't work. Maybe they are old settings, wrong phone, whatever. I'm Telus, so can't help you with the settings for T-Mobile.
- what has already been posted above needs to be correct.
- maybe radio file you flashed was wrong one or corrupt. Perhaps try the Telus one. Should work too. Since T-Mobile radio works on Telus.
- restoring any system data after a flash? Huge no no.
- wrong mobile band selected?
- and a possibility .....simply no signal where you are. Or it's a weak signal, and your assuming it doesn't work?? Ignore this if you have a very strong signal usually where you live. 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 shouldn't affect signal much if any.
Anyway.....that's about all there is to it if you are CLEAN flashing roms and following instructions to the letter. I am confident you will say all the above is good....and if so....I am afraid you will probably find no answers like your other thread. Meaning you have an extremely rare issue. Or a wierd hardware issue, sim card maybe....tho before you dismissed that as a cause. Another possibility is that you aren't correct when you say apn is fine, or the radio you flashed is fine. Not accusing you of misleading anyone, just saying perhaps you are innocently wrong when you tell us this or that is fine when it is not.. I've done tech support.....happens all the time! !!
So, good luck. Hope you find a solution ......tho this is your second thread on same issue....so you may have some rare issue....and may be boned.

That would certainly make sense!
He's got something wrong for sure. Or he's got a strange phone that won't work with 4.2. And I doubt that very much.
He's got wrong radio, or wrong or missing APN settings.
Or wrong phone, sim or carrier.

Thanks for helping and I think your right about being boned or hardware issue. I have tried different downloads of radios, both Telius and Tmobile and copied APN settings from working stock Rom. Maybe bad Sim, anyway I will have to stay with what I have until I get new phone, which is soon. Thanks again!
Stumbled across this. I've never heard of this particular issue before, but sure sounds the same as your issue. Try this fix if you haven't already.
Everything below is copied from another thread......
i had this problem with slim too. i thought something went wrong with my phone or my area. but nope. what you need to do is go to mikeyman777 cm10.1 thread and find the uvmc6 tar file, then use odin to flash it. apparently just flashing the newest radio with twrp isn't enough because it's missing some files or something like that lol.
anyways i haven't had signal problems since flashing radio tar file. i've lost signal like once. before i was losing it everyday. hope this helps.

It's PlatinumTel (PTEL), which is a t-mobile mvno. I should note that i have the bootloader and the modem matched, have tried factory resets, and even downgraded to previous version (before updating bootloader to latest so i don't brick). Ptel tells me i need to update my APN, which basically was their standard msg... no help there. Thanks.

Hi, so... there are bunch of links and downloads on that page... i do have the latest bootloader and modem... can you tell me what you think i should [try to] update to make the mobile data work? BTW, at least on my phone, the mobile data icon doesn't even show. Not even 3G or whatever... thanks for your help.
RESOLVED!
Ugh. So after countless flashes, resets and wipes, turns out that PTEL needed to do a Data RESET on their end. So much misery for such a simple solution that they could have given me. If you're a PlatinumTel user, and this may apply to many other providers, please try telling them to reset their data service for you before trying anything else. Hopefully you won't go through the misery and time wasted that i have gone through.:cyclops:

All of them are stock but I personally chose upndwn4par - Full - Features : Odexed, Rooted, Knox Removed because I really didn't know what the other ones did. (PLEASE NOTE : Neither the developer or I are responsible if you brick, or mess up your phone! This also deletes everything on your phone so do backup if you want to save your important files.) When it finished downloading, I put the file on my phone's internal storage (SD card works too) then went into recovery mode using TWRP and installed the rom onto my phone, then while I was still on TWRP, I deleted the cache and data, it then reboot and then I had to set up my phone as if I had just bought it.

THIS NEEDS TO BE PROCLAIMED!
PTEL locked us out of voice once before, which also required a reset. That was also with a phone change so maybe a security measure? Never thought about it happening with data.
So many hours wasted.
On calling, the PTEL CSR first reset the data, then helped with a new APN. Note that even with the correct settings in an existing APN and the data connection freshly reset, the phone (SGN3) refused to connect, even after a reset. Added APNs had to be deleted, then a new one created, which then connected immediately. (Pissed and happy at once.)
Thanks, @geesedude, for this info; wished I'd found it sooner. (Have to stop assuming that if it doesn't work, must be something I'VE done.)
Glad that the information helped you. Yeah, i mean... since we mess around with our phones, we always first assume it's something we did, which really can't be blamed for thinking that way. Like you, i searched the web for a solution and it was out of desperation that i called ptel, and the CSR happened to suggest it (they were out of ideas, too), and it happened to be the solution. Not sure why they have to do this in the first place, but i am guessing that there are stricter guidelines from TMobile for the MVNOs, and they have to do some things manually. At least now i know to contact them first before spending hours searching for something that may not exist!
Hello I Updated to Kit Kat 4.4.2 about a month ago & everything has been working fine. but recently my network has been dropping & emails, Facebook etc taking ages to load & I have to either try & switch on/off flight mode to reset network or find new network to get connection.
Do i need a new modem or is it just EE being a **** Network again
My rom is the stock Nordic n7105xxufnd3.
Can I get another modem for this to load through odin or do i need to revert back to 4.3 rom to get better network connection.
thank you to anyone who helps.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so nandroid (backup everything) and factory wipe. If not, it's worth trying anyway just less convenient without root or cus. recovery.
Basically there is little reason why your connection should get worse expect hardware failure or network problems, this could could be as simple as a bad contact with the sim, but it's worth ruling out software issues first as they're normally fairly simple (and free). It's also worth trying a different network if you can. It'll help if we can start ruling more things out.

Did you ever get your signal to stop switching on EE mate? The same thing is happening to me and its a pain in the arse. I'm considering changing the modem but I don't know which one would be good for EE.
So as the title states I have the virgin mobile a5_chl variant and after flashing cm12 (build 05052015) I can no longer (or at least hardly ever) gain LTE signal back, no matter what ROM im on. It comes across saying I have no service and no signal and I can't text or call when trying to use LTE.
I have done the following to try and fix:
1. flash apn fix (obviously)
2. restore stock backup
3. try a different rom
4. completely RUU back to stock.
I believe the issue lies somewhere within the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk but I'm not 100% sure about that. According to any thing i've found the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk is the "vDM client" that allows for profile updates (when i try to do a profile update it either says vDM client has stopped responding or the the profile update could not be completed). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk but that only provided a fix once and when i rebooted my phone I lost signal again.
I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do as virgin mobile gives me the usual run around that they are "having tower issues" so I'm hoping maybe someone on here can help out. If you need any further information please ask and I'll provide, I tried to be thorough when creating this thread. Thanks for any help.
