So I install the rom, do the att fix, then install the RC7.1 and when I boot up and put in my ST APN and restart I dont get data. I'm not sure what to do as I love the rom's snappiness but no data!! I had no problems with the stock rom on ST. Any suggestions?
Call ST. Same happened to me, called, got 2nd tier and they did something on their end.
Maybe switching rom / modem triggers something on their system?
This may sound stupid but i did this myself..when applying the values within the apn..make sure you click menu and save the settings..Did you do that? are the values within apn sticking?
yeah I made sure that I saved it. And with saurom it doesnt have an ATT one that you cant delete, so I KNOW its the only APN in there.
So I tried a diff rom, an ICS one and still no problem getting the APN to work there. Anyone have any insite to GPS issues on ST? I cant get mine to work?

I'll try to make this post as short as possible while still including all the details. I own an unlocked samsung galaxy s 2 in the US and have ATT as my provider.
After flashing different ROMs and firmware (exynos, lite'ning, cognition and the chainfire version of my firmware to be exact), my data connection is gone. I wrestled with it yesterday to no avail, because in the end my "Mobile network state" is always disconnected. Today, however, I changed the apn settings to the old ATT "wap" settings and the internet was restored. The speeds were somewhat slow, but i didn't care so long as they remained functioning. About two hours later - the connection crapped out. Oh, and I should also mention - I got a new sim card from ATT today assuming that my issue was a messed up and card from flashing too many roms with it still inside. Needless to say, that didn't work.
So, I'm here now attempting all sorts of remedies with no luck. ATM I am on cog 5.1 with the "correct" apn settings found here on xda, which hasn't worked either.
Has anyone else has this issue of losing their data connection altogether (although keeping wifi)? Does anyone have suggestions that might bring the data back to life?
Thanks!

what correct* apn settings are you using?
I'm using "phone" for the APN and leaving the rest blank (with the exception of APN type, which is internet).
Just minutes ago I reset to default APNs one more time to see if it would work, but nothing. I'll try the wap.cingular APN now to see if it at least picks up some data.

If you are still ' Rom hunting' as such, it is always a good idea to use program like apn manager so you dont have to manually enter your settings after every flash.
As my provider has nearly every field full, it can be a very timely exercise every time you change roms - lets face it, it can take some time to find the one we love

Those settings, wherever they're from, WORK. I had memorized the other common one already, so as soon as I saw the differences in yours I knew it would work. Unfortunately, I (literally) couldn't thank you enough for it.
Is that apn yours personally or just dug up from elsewhere here on XDA? I'm hoping it stands the test of time and continues to work after tonight... The speeds are all over the place for some reason, but at this point it doesn't matter to me, I'm just glad I don't need a WIFI connection at all times.
Oh, and the APN manager is downloading as we speak - good call. I've followed DG's from when I had my captivate a while back, so I'm gonna continue testing Cognition out for a little longer. Maybe like another day - then back to flashing =)

your welcome.
there are a number of apn settings floating around here, but the ones I provided always work
I don't remember where I got them...but they are pretty standard
I recently Tried to use my ATT SIM with my Dinc4G, I had to add an APN but it worked 100%, Voice and Data.
When I went back to my Verizon SIM, I found I had no data...
It hasn't come back at all for a couple days now, when I reset t o defualt APN I see the Verizon APN and even got screenshots of the settings
Problem is it changes back to some APN with wrong settings almost immediately, and I cannot change that APN.
Adding New a New APN causes that APN to disappear, and the name of the locked one to change. The information is still wrong, can't be changed and I have no data...
At a loss here, can't figure out whats happening. I even put my SIM in my Galaxy Nexus... and THAT didn't have a data connection either....
Are you rooted?
I've had the same problem after testing out an AT&T SIM, and there seems to be something wrong with the way Dinc4 tries to reset APN data to defaults.
There might be a better/easier/more proper way to fix it, but the only one I found was to edit APN database directly using a SQLite editor. Obviously, needs root access for that.
If you are, in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases check telephony.db and cdmaapn.db files.

Ok i need help. Im not new to rooting and roms however im no where near a pro. I have a sprint note 3 sm900p flashed to boost and activated by them (boost). I have had no data for 2 weeks aside from wifi. I have LITERALLY searched high and low EVERYWHERE including here and nothing has worked to restore it. So basically i rooted and played around with a couple touchwiz roms and then decided to go to temaseks cm 12.1 amd all was well for weeks. Then one day i noticed i didnt get 3g so i messed around with some settings and the best i could get was it to pop up and then disappear but at that point lte still worked so i was ok with that. I ended up flashing back to a stockish touchwiz and my phone kept trying to do the hands free activation that wouldnt work. prl update and profile update wouldnt work. (yes i have read high and low on fixes for those too, but anways no data at all. The crazy part is that my phone on the touchwiz roms shows 3g and 4g lte wherever they are available i just cannot connect to internet or anything else involving data. My wifi works and calling and texting works as well. So i called boost tried to explain to them i did a data reset cause i was having issues ##72786# and it messed my phone up because i didnt know what other reason to give. anyways they were adamant we try it to fix data so i do and then all of a sudden i dont have calls or texts or data so they have me do ##msl# and sure enough my mdn and my msid somehow get switched to some crazy 000000 numbers at the end and they have me reenter my phone number and msid and then phone reboots and calling and texting are fine again but still no data. So we hard reset ##786# and that did nothing but delete everything on the phone which i knew it would except it didnt fix my problem. then they give me a bunch of crap how they arent sure and that they will send me a new sim card (nned it for lte with sprint note 3 on boost) and that should fix my data 3g and 4g. Currently waiting for that card but dont think its going to fix anything. I have absolutely no more ideas on what to do. I have tried everything i can think of and searched a million different ways and cant find a single thread relating to my exact issue. PHone currently can make calls and texts as well as recieve and wifi works. but absolutely no 3g or 4g anymore except phone shows it in the status bar. SO PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP OR HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE PM me or leve a reply or ANYTHING....i just want to fix my data.
Anything at all?
Swoops read my thread...
boost Data Fixed
TW Roms Build Number N900PVPUEOC5
Well Im no Programmer But I got my data Boost mobile data working on my note 3 after i got the run around from boost
and sprint by trying to reset phone add this and add that. FIRST BEFORE YOU START U WILL NEED SOME APPS AND PROGRAMS ON COMPUTER
first switch over your phone number (MDN and MIN) by calling boost or do it over the internet. Then when they are good then we need to switch the phone over by going to setting by dial ##MSL# (Copy MSL number for later) boost rep will give it to u when setting your phone up.
After u can make a call and text your phone is connecting to network just have to get APN working to get data simple as that
1. I reccomend Installing A recovery CWM/TWRP By Odin (See Website) Then do a backup incase something get screwed up or deleted
2. Need MSL So u can edit setting (Call Boost or Hack It)
3. PRL Helper on Playstore (Flashes the Prl file)
4. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer might need SU Acess (see Rooting or Flash rooted Stock Rom by TWRP
5. Su access if not u find out how to root http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3-sprint-sm.html
6. Advance Signal Status is good to make sure your antenna is on the right setting mine was on gsm/CDMA which was wrong.
TW base Rom ( You wont be able to add or change the APN since the APN is not register to sprint APN in the sim.. Mine was locked to page plus phone but was baught as a sprint note 3. Dont know if it hardware related or Rom related but it would not save when changing the mcc and mnc numbers. Mine was locked to 311 and 00 and needed changed to 310 and 120 for sprint for those settings and would not change it would just delete it when trying to save it.
1. First u need to copy contents from carrier-GS4.zip over to the carrier folder from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628452 thanks to him for uploading it.
2. Now when u reboot your notice it say sprint or Boost dont remember which instead of chameleon on service provider And now u can edit APN since the MCC and MNC is correct now.
3. You will have to go to APN folder in ##DATA# click edit and enter MSL.. For some reason u cant modify it in the Rom APN setting (Dont Understand Why) but u can in ##data#.
4. Now u can delete the old Apn setting and add new or correct APN Settings.

If u cant add the APN through ##data# u can try the boost unversal boost fix at http://androidforums.com/threads/bo...al-boost-apn-fix-for-d2lte-builds-mod.840501/ through twrp. Then go back in ##DATA# to see if u can change the APN .
6. go to MMSC in ##DATA# and see if it correct say http://mm.myboostmobile and all that is correct.
7. Now check for currect prl since it can make your 4g not work if not current like mine was a old apn.
8. Download a current .prl file searching on here or internet u can find them. While searching I could find boost .prl 33030, Current is 33041 (2015), Sprint Prl is 55026 seems to work fine.. But put the file on the sd card and open prl helper app u downloaded and flash the prl (Your Phone Should Restart)
9. 4g should be working now mms text working
sprint activation does not work so u can ether disable it
10.Now u should make a TWRP backup.
TW ROMS Build Number N900PVPUEOH1 I dont know if this goes with all roms with this build number but I recently upgraded by Samsung Kies 3 to experiment with and did factory reset and found that APN seting are able to be change and can save it.
On ASOP Roms You cant update your PRL. So it not a bad idea to have a TW backup so u can update the prl time to time. But enough about that on ASOP roms there isnt much prob to modifing the APN to work it just some roms dont have the listing for the APN since sometimes its hidden. If u cant edit normally you can use Xshortcut From PlayStore or similar app. If that doesnt work you can also use boost unversal boost fix from above in TWRP to see if it worked. I used it before which added the necessary APN but if the radio messes up by not connecting automatically. You can erase the data on cell broadcast in the manage apps and it should fix any connection prob. I would recommend making a backup before flashing any thing from TWRP since u cant redo if it messes up. Thats about it so if it didnt work u can try other ways people posted on here. Just reboot and see if it stays connected.
I hope this helped anybody that been through hell trying to go through sprint and boost for help.
Thank you so much bro that did the trick have literally tried everything and was only able to get 4g no 3g. I knew about that fix but I didn't know it would work for the note 3 and it literally fixed everything thank you so much bro.
im glad it worked for u
I tryed this and got stuck on sprint logo? What did I do wrong?
luiseno
sorry for the late response but did u figure out the prob with your phione
can you show me the link that you downloaded and flashed? and what version note 3 do you have>
SIM Card
I am waiting for the SIM Card from Boost.
They told me that I should be able to get 3G without the SIM Card.
I was able to write the APNs for boost using different ROMs but I can't get 3G.
Maybe I do need the SIM Card to get both 3G and 4G LTE?
Ya they did that same thing to me because on their end ( which I'm sure they told you) your phone is receiving data and fully working according to their system data even though obviously it isn't just like mine wasn't. While I was waiting for the new sim card I did receive 3g and when the sim card came once i put it in and
They helped me walk through it I was right back at square one which is probably where you will end up even though I hope not for your sake. Either way do exactly what maximum overdrive ( I believe it was him) says in his post above. I only had to flash the boost mobile fix ( s3 thread I think but search will get you to it) via twrp to get LTE back but my phone wouldnt get 3g at that point. I was on temaseks rom. The zip file says it only works for touchwiz but I had other results as stated. My network went from unknown or chameleon back to boost. I then flashed the s6 port by sacs and played with the apns ( you can find info above) and manually do it. I did it through the data menu (##3282#) I believe that's what it is....I then got 3g and LTE then I flashed temaseks ROM again and only had LTE again. Then I flashed dirty unicorns and after toggling airplane mode a few times got the apns visible and edited in the boost apns and deleted the others rebooted and bang profit.... I have both 3g and 4g again... NO THANKS TO BOOST OR SPRINT..... I LOVE XDA!!
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app
Hello all.. I have been scouring everywhere for a fix to my problem and I think this is it.. Quick run down of my situation..
I have a S900P (original owner) Sprint's coverage at my old house was **** so I bought out my contract and just put the phone in storage. FF to now. I get amazing 4G LTE at my new location. So I reactivate my note 3 with Boost. Everything is fine till I start playing round with flashing custom rom's, at which point I was unable to get ANY data service on ANY custom ROM. (deodexed stock ROM's worked fine). I've lost track of how many modem/baseband/software combos I have gone through but here's where I'm at now..
I am using the original Sprint SIM card which came with the phone.
I'm pretty sure at this point all I need to do is get a new SIM from Boost, and proceed from there using my current build. Please let me know if I'm on the right track, WAY off, or What.
As always THANKS XDA for your godliness!!
A few points of clarification...
My phone has not given me a boost splash in quite a while, only Sprint.
I had another strange issue 2 days ago while, after another failed custom ROM flash, upon unrooting and goig back to 100% stock OK2. I wasnt able to use their DATA/Voice services (no text or phone calls) However the 4gLTE never stopped working.

I seem to be getting absolutely no help on the original moar rom thread and ive been without a data connection for 2 weeks now with no hope or luck of fixing it. i flashed MOAR rom and now my data connection doesnt function whatsoever, i can make calls and texts but cant use mt 4g lte service or even 3g. when i go to the APN settings it shows "LTE - verizon Internet" but its greyed out and i cant click on it. when trying to set an APN manually i click save after i have entered th correct APN info but it doesnt save there is no selection for the APN i just created, how can i hack or force my phone to use an APN that i set?? flashing another rom is not an option because ive tried every rom in existence for my model and this is the only one i can get working that doesnt give me the "no sim card" message. theres gotta be a tweak or something i can do to force an APN right??

Yea, i posted about 9 pages back, all i had to do was call straight talk and the lady reset my data and it was working great. in the meantime, you can still use data if you put your phone in CDMA only mode, but just call straight talk and they will fix it for you.
Im still using MOAR ROM with no issues at all, its really great.
My phone is the Boost Mobile XT1526. Running Cyanogenmod 13 by squid2. The latest build.
I've been using the Boost APN found here, and even though it works, its not ideal. I'd rather use the APN that's built into the ROM or the APN I pulled from the stock ROM.
My problem is that, for the life of me, I absolutely cannot get the APNs to stick. The APN that's built into CM13, doesn't stick. It disappears. And if I manually add the APN I pulled from the stock ROM, that disappears as soon as I hit save. I have no clue why. The only APN I can use is the one I linked to above. But that one isn't ideal. But I'll use it if I have to.
Can anyone help me with this that knows more about this then I do? I'd really love to use either the built-in APN or the APN I pulled from the stock ROM, if its even possible.
I have data so that's not my problem. I just can't send or receive MMS messages using the SMS app in Cyanogenmod.
Thanks!
If anything isn't clear then please tell me and I'll try to explain better. I suck at explaining.
Trying to get it to work too!
I'm having the exact same problems. I think it might be an issue with cellular network settings in CM13/MM roms (you'll notice clicking "Carrier Settings" in any of them causes com.android.phone to stop).
I've been playing around with various things, and I've found so far that using the Cypher rom (which doesn't have any Boost stuff baked in) I can put in the APN settings you linked to and send and receive MMS but LTE doesn't work. I then went back to Squid's CM13 rom (which is amazing, btw!) and LTE appears from install but changing any APN setting makes it fall over. Then I tried editing the Boost APN in deega/Buzbee2's flashable zip from "n.boost.ispsn" to "Boost_Mobile". I could flash that, and that does make it "stick" in the APN settings but, again, LTE disappears when I do this. Entries under the "Access Point Names" tab do seem to appear and disappear somewhat randomly whatever I do!
I've tried various other fixes suggested online, from root-deleting the telephony database to trying some SMS programs that let you put in the APN settings manually, but still nothing. I feel I'm close...but not that close I'll keep fiddling and see what happens but I'm not entirely sure whether this is a settings issue or a CM13 issue.
Thanks for replying. I'm gonna do some testing too. I had the same exact issue on CM12.1 so I don't think its a CM13 issue.
I wonder if there's a way to use adb or fastboot to force the APNs to stick?
I tried using the Boost APN I pulled from the stock ROM that Motorola or Boost put there and you'd think it'll work but no. It disappears as soon as I hit save.
I know CM13 has to be using some kind of APN because I have data, but I don't know what that APN is nor why I can't get the SMS app to use it so I can send MMS messages.
I'm confused but I'll figure it out. Maybe. :/
EDIT: I notice too that whenever I tried to get into Network Operators that com.android.phone would FC. I was able to get in there by putting my phone in airplane mode and rebooting. I can take the phone out of airplane mode while I'm in it without it force closing. But I'm not able to do anything. Kept saying "error while searching for networks" or something along those lines. So I just gave up for right now.
EDIT2: I noticed that in the file /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml that it had APN settings in there that were blank for the most part. I tried editing that file to add my APN settings but it didn't help.
I've been testing things during the day and my hunch is there's a deeper problem with the LTE implementation in the 6.x roms (and earlier, perhaps, if you had issues with CM12 as well). It's difficult to know if this is Boost/Sprint related only - Buzbee2's flashable fix seems to be working for people on Freedompop and Virgin. I had a few issues today where my phone would be telling me I had LTE connectivity but web pages would give timing-out errors. I switched to Cypher which was solid on 3G where LTE had basically crashed. I sent MMS with manually inputted settings on Cypher again.
So I was left feeling that at the moment it's a choice between fast (patchy?) LTE speeds without MMS or solid (slow!) 3G with MMS. Hmm. It may be that current roms have a issue switching down and up between LTE and 3G...?
Looking at deega/Buzbee2's flashable zip it doesn't seem like it changes much, so it should be a settings issue, just as long as those settings can stick! Trouble is there might be multiple points of failure at present.
I dug up an interesting thread on the Moto G forum where a user who struggled with this on their phone found that Boost requires authentication for MMS over LTE but not on 3G:
Getting MMS to work on LTE made me pull my hair out. Virgin mobile(Boost) working on Sprint networks when it comes to MMS messages is an over complicated issue caused by the providers. When attempting to receive MMS on LTE networks with stock MMS or some 3rd party MMS apps it returns with a "HTTP error: Authorization Required". When trying it on 3G its no problem. Seems they required "Authorization" for MMS on LTE but not 3G - go figure. Hangouts basically works for all because the app itself doesn't use the phones APN settings. It tries (and does) to attain what carrier you are on and use its settings. In our case it will identify you are on the Sprint network and use those APN settings. Why don't we set our phones to the Sprint settings?...no LTE then.

Sounds eerily similar, but his fix file has disappeared into the mists of time and seems to have only worked on certain roms. Anyway, I'll keep digging and hope others might chip in.
I found a file called preferred-apn.xml in the data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs directory where you can set a preferred APN. Least I'm assuming that's what its for. But I need the APN id and I can't find the id for the built-in Boost APN.
I'll keep looking and testing stuff. Hopefully we can get this figured out.
I'm stuck with using 3G where I live. Boost/Sprint doesn't have LTE where I live. So LTE isn't a issue for me.
That's a good find. I think the APN ID refers to the line where you can find the details for the APN in the telephony database. There's some stuff on the Moto G forum about it here.
I'm guessing that the APN settings tab is pulling stuff from the telephony db and that your XML file is telling the phone which is the default. If so, maybe writing to the telephony.db (in the databases folder just along from shared_prefs) might make changes "stick", although if you delete that db it's recreated at reboot so it's not the originator of the data. My feeling is that there's a screwy connection between telephony.db and various other bits of CM13 right now...
Maybe taking telephony.db from a stock Boost rom and copying that in will do something.
I still have a backup of the stock ROM on my laptop. Tomorrow I'll pull the telephony.db and copy it onto my phone replacing the original one and see what happens.
Update:
I pulled the telephony.db from the stock ROM and copied it to my phone, replacing the original and I set the APNs in apns.xml to what I thought the APN should be. I wouldn't recommend it.
As soon as I rebooted CM13 stopped recognizing my sim card and the com.android.phone error popped up and wouldn't disappear. I couldn't do anything. Had no choice but to reboot into twrp and use its file manager to delete the db file. So that's a no go I guess.
I found a program for Linux (also available for Windows) called SQLiteBrowser which let's me open the telephony.db files and look through them. All of the APN IDs are stored in that db file. I'm going to use it to look through the telephony.db file for CM13 and get the APN IDs that I need. Then try to edit the preferred_apns.xml file to set it and see what happens.
EDIT: I'm looking through the telephony.db file from CM13 but there are no APNs in it for some odd reason. Wonder if we can manually add them if need be?
Finally working for me
Buzbee2 made some suggestions on his support thread so I tried them and - to my amazement - everything worked. Not immediately, I had to wait a few hours (for the APNs to be picked up from Boost?) but it did work.
So what I did was first go into airplane mode and entered the Boost_Mobile APN details that you can find everywhere online (and on Buzbee's support thread). When I switched off airplane mode those settings disappeared and those baked into Squid's CM13 (or flashed via Buzbee's zip) came back. Switched on airplane mode again, those disappeared and the Boost_Mobile one I entered and saved is there. I can't believe that's meant to happen, but there it is.
I then downloaded Google Hangouts. I'd heard it sorts out its own APN settings if you set it to be your default SMS program. I could send SMS through Hangouts but still no MMS. I gave up at this point as I had to go out.
Checked my phone a couple of hours later and my MMS sent via Hangouts had arrived. I tried a few more and they all worked. Then I tried the stock messaging app and that could send MMS too! I couldn't believe it. I uninstalled Hangouts (much prefer the simpler app) and went to bed. In the morning, no MMS. Reinstalled Hangouts, still no good. Left it a few hours and - yep! - MMS was back for all my MMS apps. I tested with and without wi-fi, knowing that Hangouts likes shortcuts , and it was all good.
So the moral of the story is...I have no idea. But either Hangouts sets the APNs for the whole rom, or some combination of the Boost_Mobile APN (even though it doesn't "stick") and Hangouts gets it going. Maybe set that up, leave it overnight, and see. It doesn't explain some of the weirdness in the carrier settings, but at least it might work.
I'll try that. ☺
Any luck, Debdude? My phone has not been perfect, with it refusing to switch down to 3G when out of LTE coverage, and MMS mostly sending but sometimes not, but acceptable for something running a cutting-edge rom. It'll hopefully improve as things mature.

Damn. I forgot. My bad. I got busy with my new laptop and my ps2 I just completely forgot about this.
I'll mess around with it in a bit. And try the suggestions you mentioned a couple posts back.
