Hello and welcome to the forums. May I take the time to ask did you make a backup.

 

[Apokalypse124]

unfortunately i didnt. and i realize how stupid it was not to

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Reason I ask is there was files to help enable the data signal and imei and mdn . now may I ask does the imei number show in the about phone area . PLEASE DONT POST THE NUMBER JUST yes or no

 

[Apokalypse124]

yea the imei still shows. that was the part i found weird

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Now I need to see if when you press *#06# do the imei show the same as in the about phone and on back of the device . again please don't post the numbers just yes or no and you may see null

 

[Apokalypse124]

absolutely nothing happens when i do that. or any of the other secret menu commands for that matter

 

[BRAINZ2013]

absolutely nothing happens when i do that. or any of the other secret menu commands for that matter

Did you do *#06#

 

[Apokalypse124]

scratch that. let me copy down this number

 

[Apokalypse124]

yes the imei is correct (i forgot the * originally)

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Now who is the carrier

 

[Apokalypse124]

metropcs should it say that somewhere in the about settings

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Do you have signal from carrier

 

[Apokalypse124]

yes almost full bars. but then when i connect it says mobile network not available

 

[BRAINZ2013]

The APN is the issue but don't know why the the mdn isn't showing

Try the first post called ting apn

 

[Apokalypse124]

Should i try flashing the 4.3 modem and rom over odin?

 

[Apokalypse124]

Also. i understand that for the most part but some things there arent exactly clear. any chance you could explain that post a bit simpler for me

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Are you on a custom ROM

 

[Apokalypse124]

currently no i flashed back to 4.1 stock in a panic about an hour ago.

 

[BRAINZ2013]

If you read on the op had taken a stock and modified APN to work on a cyanogen ROM

 

[Apokalypse124]

the last rom i was on was validus 6.1 with 4.4 gapps

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Your on stock and unrooted

 

[Apokalypse124]

yes . so correct me if i'm wrong. i should: root. install the previous rom along with gapps and the apn?

 

[BRAINZ2013]

If your on the full stock ROM without no mdn etc you may need to flash the modem for 4.1 where did you get the stock file from since your CDMA you can enter the info but the APN is wrong cause metro and T-Mobile edited

 

[Apokalypse124]

i got the stock file from shabby penguins download side. im currently using the lj3 tar file. and i also flashed the lj3 modem still no luck.
