Hi - this is a strange one....went through the walkthoughs and docs relating to downgrading my mates legend and then doing the s-off thing and then clockwork mod and then finally froyo.
All that went relatively fine ( a few hiccups along the way but im there ) the phone started out life as being a stock vodafone model and is now - obviously generic. Problem is, is that now i want to put an asda mobile sim in there (works off of the back of vodafone) it cant see their network - not only that - if i put my vodafone sim in there it cant see vodafone either,
Not really sure where to start so i thought id start here
This may not be the right place to post but seeing as it all worked before the rom update i thought this was as good as place as any to start.
thanks to anyone that chips in

Try updating the radio,search dev section for radio
yup- good call - it was on 7.03 or something like that - ive got it up to 7.13.35.13 but it hasnt cured the problem....going to try another image now ive got clockwork mod on there....any other suggestions? i say that in a constructive way as ive never seen anything like this before...
tried a cyanogen nightly - which did work either (a bit crashy) but i can only see (at the moment t-mobile) just thought id post to let you know...
Im pretty lost on it all?! Vodafone Legends (UK) are sim unlocked at factory (the reason i bought one on Voda) Ive used Tesco sim, GiffGaff, Orange and O2 with no problems!
Have you tried putting a standard rom on there?
Try this one its the Froyo update standard apart from root.if that works any better you can try loading the rom you want then pushing libhtc_ril.so file across.
Also was this second hand? It may have been blocked due to Loss or Theft? Phone Voda and ask if your imei has been reported or blocked
Yeah, it was a secondhander...ill have to check...got cm 7 nightly on there which works with my work o2 data sim.....can I flash that stock rom without going over clockwork mod....took me ages to get that on!
Thanks for the reply....

hi am new to the atrix, recently got upgrade from orange, use to have G1 and a wildfire (buzz)
info
model MB860
Firmware 2.2.2
Build OLYEM_U4_1.3.1
Rooted using Gingerbreak
Custom recovery installed
i see confusion on the forums for orange uk users.
can you guys clear up for me whether i should downgrade to 2.1.1? and whether or not the gingerblur/greyblur is compatible?
can i flash themes without being on 2.1.1 and which themes should i look at?
can i get 1080 recording?
any other info that you can provide also please?
Thanks guys, sorry if it seems noobish, just dont wanna brick (mrs will be mad at me lol)
i my self flashed gingerblur 3.1 then 3.5 straight over via sd card with the boot recovery menu
however i had a few networking issues which was fixed once i entered my correct apn details
but still seemed to have slow speeds with my data and navigation app was a no go as the data speeds were too slow... custom themes worked great i have since reverted back to stock rooted and my issues are now fixed... hope this helps in what yourlooking for

im using 2.1.1 with gingerblur 3.5 and its really good apart from my data sometimes doesnt work, i have to like refresh 5 times for it to start working then its fine. but personally id recommend sticking with stock for now as theres nothing worth voiding your warranty for just yet

i soft bricked by atrix using a theme, didnt follow instructions proper and adb is not active now
or shall i just flash 2.1.1? to fix it?
Flashed my first rom (myth ics beta) too days ago everything worked fine at first but then I flashed to a different rom (icecreemsunday) just to see what the difference was then flashed back and now I cant send texts.
Everything else still works fine and the roms are so much faster than stock. Is there any way to fix this?

My wife had a similar issue. Flash back to stock and try again. God know what happens.

I flashed back to a custom stock rom and it still doesn't work.
Is there anyway to get back onto the Samsung rom without kies (as it doesn't work on Linux, or i haven't managed to find a Linux build of it)?

I tried using odin to flash to firmware version S5830XWKPN from samfirmware
and after that did a factory reset. It still refuses to work. Is that an official Samsung build?
Thanks for your help so far
Did you have Message Centre Number on Messaging setting?
yeah, the number is 447958879890 if that means anything to you.
weird..EEK!
it is weird. I can still call people and tweet and what not. I really have no idea, might go to the virgin mobile shop and ask if they know what's wrong.

If that's going to be your last option, make sure everything is stock and no root. Lol, wouldn't want them to find out all those changes and say no to the repair xD

Well this thread is specifically for T-Mobile USA users on v20g baseband..for those noobs who don't know..v20 is new baseband...I wanted to compile a list of working roms with working mobile data..the only problem: I don't have a computer and typing on a virtual keyboard is time consuming and tedious..as far as I know, another thread like this doesn't exist..there are a few roms that flash perfectly but the only problem is most of em don't give you working data..if anyone has pointers on how to fix the solution..speak your mind...I've been emailed quite frequently about all of this so I'm not undermining anyone's advice...one senior member gave me a suggestion but I have yet to try it, if you want to try it let me know and ill post results...I want this thread to help other tmobile usa users out

Currently I'm on perfectpeso v2.3 and yes I have working data but I believe that's because its based from kang sources...I might be wrong so correct me if I am....I know other roms like cm9 are also based from kang sources but for some reason mobile data does not work...I once tried funny sim fix but that didn't work either as it was meant for old baseband..I have yet to see a sim fix for new baseband..also I've been asked before if I had a 128 bit sim card, I'm not sure what I have..how do I find out what kind of sim card I have? I can't remember precisely which roms aren't working for me but one in particular comes to mind and that's popdog123's oxygen v2.7..it flashes fine but I get no mobile data

V10 is old baseband...you need v20 series...there should be a post within the forums that talks about flashing baseband and provides a v20g zip file....all you do is unzip file. Its a 7z file format, run LGMDP v1.5 and everything else is peachy

On V20G as well and haven't found one with working data. Just running ICS at the moment and hoping a fix will come out.

Hi guys I am kind of new to this forum and really like all the website with so much information !
I am turning to you because because my friend wanted to buy an SGS 2 and bought one from some random guy whom he has no contact with.
The problem is now that the phone seems to be rooted because there is an yellow triangle that follows in the start up. I wonder if anyone knows how to see what kind of room is installed on the phone? I ask this because because the phone has been unlocked with the simunlock app but
the network connection is so bad, I´ve managed to make 1-2 calls to see that the phone works but i get max 1/5 bars in the connection barometer.
This made me think that maybe the root is bad performed by the guy that did flash the device from the begining.
If you guys have any kind of tweaks or ideas what to do I would really appreciate it.
I gathered some information that might help. This is taken from t he status menu in the galaxy S2.
Would it maybe help to restore everything to stock?

This is the Samsung Galaxy "NOTE" 2 forum, you would probably be best posting this in the Galaxy S2 forum... different devices!!!

Sorry I choose the wrong section for my thread. Thanks to the MOD that moved it to the right one.
Root has no impact on signal strength.
But if you want to revert to stock, just download original firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmware, unpack and flash via Odin in PDA.

The ROM you use has no effect on your signal strength. The modem however, does. So you can try flashing a new modem if you're fine with the ROM besides the signal problems. ie.the UI, features offered, etc. Else you can flash your stock firmware for your region and that would solve your problem

Go to settings-wireless-mobile networks and in network mode check gsm only...if its on wcdma thats probably why u have poor signal
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks a lot for the answers ! I´ve already tried to switch to gsm mode, dosn´t get any better. I will try to flash to a different modem but I have a few questions. Does it matter wich modem is current on my phone before i flash to another?
And if someone could point me in the right direction about wich modem I should use for my region, I live in sweden and use a swedish sim card and operator.

No.
For Sweden I think it will be I9100XXLQ6.
If you got the phone from a totally unknown person, i would suggest to revert it back to complete stock, and then start making all the changes you want from scratch, just to be 100% safe.
I agree i´ll flash everything back to stock and start from the begining, I think it´s the best way. But 19100XXLQ6 is the modem that my phone says I have, does that mean that I´am on stock baseband?`Otherwise if someone could show me a link or something for a step to step guide of how to restore everything back to stock.
Thanks a lot for your help guys !
Look backup your efs folder before you start pissi g about with stuff.
Then go to that link and get a 4.0.3 stock firmware for your region.
Then come back here and you can be advised about like siyah kernel/nand backups/roms.
Hey guys,
I just got this device and I'm loving it so far... I'm a T-Mobile customer, so I'm looking to flash a tmobile radio and Rom. The thing is I bought this from someone who used a toolkit to root it and unlock the bootloader. It's also running insert coin Rom and twrp.. I know nothing else is done besides that. This is my first non Samsung device, and Im used to the simplicity of Odin , I really dont want to screw anything up... Anyone have some advice? Thanks in advance...

I am probably not certified to answer this question. But my suggestion is-
You are searching here ( your best bet) so maybe search youtube for how to video's on "un"rooting and going back to stock. They normally have links to downloads that you need.
what is wrong with just leaving it unlocked and rooted, just flashing a different rom?

This will get you back to near stock T-mo >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281943
your best off to stay away from a radio update unless your having a problem.
Leave the recovery as is for now till you learn more about your phone
make a backup from TWRP and store it in a safe place (other than on the phone) before you go flashing roms (just a good practice anytime)
all the popular roms in the international section will work on your phone, Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, insertcoin ...etc, just take your time and read a lot
Thanks for the suggestions guys... So even though I'm s-on, I can still flash a different Rom?
