[Q] [optimus v] no 3G

[ahiredgeek]

i have been using my optimus v for close to a year now. i got it right when they had their huge data outage last year. i have had official 3g data on it for 2 weeks, then kaput...nothing. i have had service turned back on twice in this year and neither time have i had 3g.

im running a CM7 port (BOBZHOME CM7RC1) on my phone now, but the 3g didnt work in stock either. phone does though.

virgin has "restarted" my 3g from their end countless times and walked me through stuff on my phone. nothing has worked. the only weird thing i can find is that my MEID looks different from my wife's (she has an optimus v as well). her actual MEID is close, but hers is preceded by a large number in (##) parenthesis. could it be some problem with that?

and i have read and read through the forums for the development of my CM7 port, the official CM7 version that was ported and even other people having similar problems on other phones. there are no loss of 3g problems with my port according to the community or the developers. so, might not be the rom.

are there any little tricks i can try or any way i have to have my phone set up or any apps that might be interfering? its driving me nuts!! just paid for a month and cant use data!!

didnt work in stock or CM7 with android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

Which baseband version do you have? v20G or v10E? Oh and you might of switched to "Use only 2G networks" mode. You can check by going to settings-Wireless and networks-mobile networks-then you will see it at the bottom

baseband says "unknown"

And the option for "2g" only isn't there.

Try flashing the two basebands

no such critter.
you can get it for the optimus s, but the pv4 and pv5 baseband cab files released by lg for the optimus v are each missing a dll file that lets the phone service tools fully unpack the cab to bin, prl, scr, etc.

if you use the optimus s firmware/radio, you will permanently lose that 3g connection you're trying to recover.

ok. i fixed it. i had to do what i was dreading doing from the beginning. i flashed back to the stock and ran the activation app. the activation failed but my 3g turned right on. and right after that i rebooted into recovery and flashed the latest bobzhome CM7.2 port. still works.

also, the clockwork recovery i have doesnt have a button command to boot into recovery. so, if you flash to the stock you will not be able to reboot into recovery from the OS and might not be able to use a button commands. what i had to do was plug in the usb and use an ADB command.

adb reboot recovery

and boom, i was on my way. glad i had my PC set up to send ADB commands.
