thanks for the guide,

i have flashed upto ICS passion V13.1

should i now directly wipe data, cache, dalvik, format system, flash slimbean 4.2.1, slim gapps, reboot and enjoy?

or should i first flash base 3.5, then 3.5 vibrant essentials and then wipe data, cache, dalvik, format system, flash slimbean 4.2.1, slim gapps, reboot and enjoy?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Err...Why flash Pa&%ion! Just factory reset and format system and flash 4.2 SB. If you have issues, flash Semaphore 2.8 kernel first and reboot into recovery in CWM and flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] linekbp:
i dont have gingerbread rom, i have only ics rom,

that is the reason i am asking, what to do next?

i first flash base 3.5, then 3.5 vibrant essentials and then wipe data, cache, dalvik, format system, flash slimbean 4.2.1, slim gapps, will this do?

and if you are telling me to odin stock rom, then semaphore 2.8 kernel by odin and then reboot into recovery in CWM and flash, if i am getting you right then please also provide me with the semaphore kernel link
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Nah, from passion, wipe everything and flash the newest SB 4.2 then flash 4.2 gapps right afterwards. Passion has a default. prop issue so if it aborts have the Semaphore 2.8 zip handy and flash like I posted before

Edit: To all, from stock proceed to the latest CM7->JB :good:

Hi,

I have deleted the files but my basband is still missing.

I came from 4.1.2 from the PA Rom port by jrongi.

Please advise, thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

I was rebooting many times and at about the 7-8th time, the baseband came back, this was together with the time where I configured the lcd density to 220.

So I am not sure if this is a coincidence.

For now, I am afraid to reboot my phone lest the baseband go missing again.

Please let me know if I should try again and how to prevent this?

APN Problems

OK looked thru the search in this thread to see if anyone has had this problem!

I've tried three times at installing this ROM, successful all three times, However after it boots up and I let it settle and set it up, I run into the same problem each time after a fresh install. And I do the loading Instructions to the "T" as advised!!

And that is that I can never get the APN to keep the data I enter the fields, meaning it wont save it!! I look at it afterwards and see that it wont save and thus why I cant get the phone to detect signal, for the modem.

So does anybody have this problem, and what do I do to fix it, love this ROM but cant get the most important part to work and that's the radio/cell signal!!

Does this "gapps backup" include the contacts/recentlycalled/textmessages?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Nope, just gapps. If you just wipe caches all your phone calls and text will remain intact. If you're coming from a different ROM or Android platform, then it's sorta mandatory to factory wipe and format system, which it will erase all data :)

Cannot get Sim Card / phone to work.... or recognize the network

I have had a very easy time flashing this ROM, however, I cannot get the ROM to recognize the network (no calls, etc.). I have now flashed it three times and everything else seems to work just fine.

I just came from ICS Passion and have reflashed this again just to make sure that the SIM card is working (yes it does) and now back trying to get Slim to work....no luck so far....

Any ideas? Is there a setting that I am missing?

Cannot get Sim Card / phone to work.... or recognize the network

Thank you for the advice, however, I cannot find the directory or files in my phone. I've looked in many of the folder and even used my search capability for the the two files (98tweaks and 00check) in init.d directory.- no luck...

Do you have any other ideas or thoughts on the subject?

It is quite frustrating.... In fact I spent the time to bring all my apps and other setups onto the phone only to find that when I put the SIM in it would not work.... others must me having the same problem. I cannot imagine that I am that unique. Fortunately I have two Vibrants and can spend the time to fuss with one while I have the other to actually make calls on :)

All ideas and thoughts are welcome....

Well, when I flashed Slim going from ICS Passion again, I inserted the SIM card upon rebooting, and guess what, it worked.... I don't know why, but it just did.... I did NOT do anything regarding removing files, etc. Somehow, it just worked.... very interesting.... perhaps it was putting in the SIM card upon booting with Slim... :D
