My phone needs a little help as I'm not sure what to do.
(Don't want to create a bigger problem by experimenting, so I'll check here first)

LG F3 Rooted

Here's what happened.
Used LTE2 Recovery App to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Pretty sure I had done this before without any issues. When I restarted the phone Link2SD did not link to my SD card. Every app / service crashed since I did not have enough internal memory (storage full icon in menu bar) for everything installed on the internal phone storage.
Tried starting Link2SD / crash, TiB / crash, etc....
Restarting did not help.
So with power off I help the volume down and turned it on. Entered I guess the stock recovery. Rebooted from stock recovery cause I thought people where getting there phone to return to stock this way.
Rebooted with the same issues. So back into stock recovery. Wiped / deleted users data.
Phone rebooted as 100% stock.
Had to run motorchopper on the phone again to root.
Got everything back up and running but phone mentioned about reactivating. Didn't think much of it. Check phone it can make and receive calls.
What I did notice is that I do not have any 3g / 4g service available.
Phone said something about dialing 611. Looks to go to customer care.

Anyway looking for ideas how to get the 3g / 4g activated again in the phone.


...Anyway I think I noticed the issue with running out of space. Made a backup with CWM before restarting the phone. Just checked now if I have it and it's not there. So I saved it to internal instead of the external storage....
