I got a Spectrum back whey first became available in 2012. Recently, past 5-6mo, I've rooted my phone, and using CWM "clockwork recover?" . Since then I've flashed various GB roms, Eclipse, Breakout, BlackPlague, and BlitzKrieg. Each had their uniqueness in issues. But all worked rather well.
Since the ICS OTA update became available, I've been trying to update that to my phone. While the ROM flashes just fine, I cannot get 4G to work at all. I've tried the Eclipse and ICY Fusion ICS roms. In either one, can never get 4g to work. Also, in both, after I flash either rom, I go to update my contacts by syncing my google account on my phone. Without fail, my phone only lets me do that with wifi enabled and connected. It can't connect under 3g. Same thing for Google Play, can't connect unless I'm on wireless. So I just restore my latest image of 2.3.6, currently BlitzKrieg. And all is well in GB land.
So here is what I"m doing in each flash
1. reboot into CWM recovery, factory reset my phone, wipe delvik, and for measure, wipe bat stats.
2. Install my ICS .zip file from the SD card
3. Fix Permissions after the install & reboot
Phone comes up normal like it should. Once its booted, its already activated. I can dial out, receive calls, send txt msgs. But the phone is still stuck in 3G. Data is enabled too. I've tried the #*#*4636*#*#, and that does take me to the hidden menu, I can select LTE-WCDMS-EVDO, but does little good.
Now, if I'm ignorant, and this is a known issue with all ICS roms for the spectrum, then forgive me for not putting 2+2 together. But I'm flat out of ideas. I dont' have the original GB OS, otherwise I would just flash back to stock, unroot, and apply the OTA update. Then re-root the phone. My GF has the same phone, all stock, got her OTA update, 4g works just fine on it.
Any help would be appreciated.
