I flashed this rom to my EVO yesterday and was very happy with it,thanks Magnus! But alas,i have a problem,only get data at 1x cdma. At first i thought that this was normal for the rom,but i installed the same rom on my bro`s EVO,and he gets 3G...wtf? Any fix for this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you run an AOSP rom before? Sprint roms don't indicated a 1x when you are really at 1x, it will always show 3G. Unless your phone stays on 1x for an extended period of time, it's nothing to worry about.
I posted this in general a few weeks back. May help you.
I've been running CM7 since it was being compiled by lithid. At some point my 3G broke and I tried to ask for help but never could find a complete answer. At some point someone said the words "##data#" and "call sprint." Below is a step by step guide to what I did to fix 3G and it's been working through numerous wipe/flashes since. If someone already posted this information I apologize. This has worked for me and at least one other person that I know of, so hopefully it doesn't ruin anyone's phone.
1. Download MSL Reader from market, run it and write down results.
2. Nandroid current rom.
3. Flash cauklins format all
4. Flash latest rooted OTA (I found one in the wiki)
5. Boot OTA (I skipped all of the google login/set up stuff)
6. Enter ##3282# (##data#) in to the dialer.
7. Menu will popup select "Edit Mode"
8. Enter MSL when it asks for password.
9. Tap "Data Profiles"
10. Tap Menu button, then "Restore"
11. Phone will reboot in 10 seconds or you can click ok.
12. Hands free activation will come up shortly after phone reboots, then PRL update and Firmware update. (It found no frimware updates I think because I used the latest OTA) Let it process all.
13. Power phone off.
14. Boot to bootloader (hold power + vol down)
15. Select recovery.
16. Flash format all again.
17. Nand restore.
18. Enjoy working 3g.
I did all this the first time on the phone with sprint. As soon as I booted the OTA I had 3g again, I just told them it was broken and they gave me the steps. I just did it all again while typing this to verify that it works rather than try to rely on my memory of what i did.
Hope this helps. I also did the ##gpsclrx# while I had that sprint garbage installed.
If these are instructions to seriously break your phone, can someone who knows better than me please correct me. So far I've had no problems, other than fixed 3G
Thanx Nuke,i have read that in the forums before,and i have run other AOSP roms that also said 1x and didnt worry about it,just wondering why bros EVO says 3g is all. Its exactly the same as mine..just curious
I will try that Sgt,even if its only fooling me into it,it would be cool to have the 3g icon back
Mine definitely bounces back and forth between 1x and 3g so I doubt that it's lying to me... It seems like this issue only affects those with 0004 hardware and only when switching to AOSP roms. I know someone tried my little fix on MIUI and it didn't work so I'm not sure whats going on but I know those steps fixed mine and 2 other peoples that I know of. Hopefully you have success...if not I'd be curious to know what does solve it for you.
Sgt,thanx my man, your fix worked like a charm!! I dont know if its just me or not,but it damn sure seems faster. Again,thanks for you help!
Awesome, glad to hear it

i reverted to stock rom and ran the prl updater and its still not working.
Download a new prl (25006) and rename it to TEST.prl and place it on the root of your sd card. Then go into dialer (be on a touchwiz rom) and dial ##3282#, go to view, then prl write. It'll load the test.prl and reboot. Should be fixed then.

Flash the attached one and it will get u back on sprint. update the prl in the settings once ur done flashing my attached one.
00001 is a hacked verizon one which is why you cant use the menu to update. If ur going to use a hacked one use 01337 it works best. 00001 is outdated. the ##3282# method only seems to work when it wants to i dont reccomend it especially for these hacked prls it doesn't seem to like them
thank you for the replies trying it now
i tried both options and neither of them worked its still saying PRL version 1 in the phone status

Just for the record I was having the hardest time getting this method to work at all not realizing the the prl's I had downloaded had to be extracted first maybe its a nood mistake but never the less havent had a problem sense and also data has to be off for this to work or at least it did for me. Hope this helps

put the options under mobile network to cdma then write your prl or try cdma/lte then try to write it again that could do it another option is to use hidden menu app then choose efs sync i cant remember where it is exactly another way is to do ##786# hit reset then enter your msl
Hey guys! I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but i have a T-mobile GS3. I got tired of waiting for the JB OTA update, so i decided to root my phone and try out CM10. I followed the instructions on how to do the one click method using MSkip's Toolkit. I made a full Nandroid backup thru ClockworkMod before and thought we'd be good. After trying CM10 I wanted to restore my backup. After doing so, I have NO DATA connectivity thru the phone. It worked fine on CM10 initially, but now, no matter what ROM I use or backup i restore to, it still wont connect. All i have is EDGE network.
All i want to do now is use TriangleAway, unroot, and OTA update to stock JB for now. Strangely enough my app's that are already on the phone WILL update using EDGE network, but wont allow me to access the PlayStore. I'm in over my head now, so I'm asking for help. It's been over a week now searching thru forums, but i cant find any solutions. Geez...I'm a NOOB...i know.
I dont have an EFS backup.
Can ANYBODY help me out, PLEASE?

I could keep finding more for you, but this should suffice. You should've backed up more then just the rom itself... hope you get it back.
Try switching Airplane mode on and off, doesn't work? Try going to settings mobile networks and Data connection, check and uncheck few times, it worked for me
Go To settings -> About Device -> Status
Do you have an "IMEI"? Is it 14 digits or so? or does it say "UNKNOWN?
APN

Thanks mt3g for the links! can't believe i couldn't find those.
So i just checked my phone and the IMEI is gone. I believe those links have the instructions on how to restore my IMEI, correct?
I can't wait to get home from work and get this thing FIXED! I'll keep you guys posted.

IMEI restored...
Hey guys! good news/bad news. I got the IMEI restored to my phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29514187
the link above has all the resources on how i did it.
Now that the IMEI is restored i am still working on the EDGE only issue. I'm researching it now. i'll keep you posted.
any ideas/suggestions are always appreciated! thanks fellas
UPDATE:
I've been searching the forums for a few hours now and there are many links, but none seem very conclusive.
Does anybody have any solid directions/tips? Im glad to have my IMEI back, but want my DATA back, dangit.
This is driving me crazy!
Much thanks for any help!
did you go back through the hidden menu after all is done and set USB settings back to MTP + ADB?
I did change those settings back, mt3g. i did find one post that seems helpful...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
however, it seems quite complicated and has alot of disclaimers...
im willing to try it out, but seeing as how im uneducated enough to have gotten myself into this problem in the FIRST place...im not so confident. haha.
are you familiar with this method? does it work?
Reflash your phone back to stock via ODIN. Confirm data is back and then go back to toying with your phone.
If data is not back, you're probably SOL.

I just went through the same thing. Use qpst to backup qnc file (once you are sure your imei is back restored) to desktop. Then use qnc generator to open that backup and save it with a different name to desktop. Then open qpst and go to restore and choose the new qnc that was generated and restore it. Flash the modem of your choice and voila. Back in action. Working perfect now. 4G is around 7-9mb in the New Orleans area where I am.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but haven't been unable to pinpoint my problem. I have a s3 on boost mobile rooted and running custom rom. My daily rom is dandroid. By the way, all these roms are for sprint. On dandroid (4.1 android), I have no data issues whatsoever. When I flash the collective (4.3 android) I have data when I first reboot and if I don't turn on wifi data will work fine until I turn on wifi. By the way, wifi works good too but when I turn wifi off, it somehow breaks the data connection. I have no data, nothing.Sometimes a reboot will turn data back on, other times no. I also get the error when it first reboots where it says something to the effect androidprocess.com has stopped. I go into settings-mobile network-network operator and comes up error while searching for networks. I'm thinking possibly that this error with not being able to find a network is somehow related to the issues I'm having. Once I turn wifi off, I cannot get data to work again. I have tried this on my home wifi and a open network at work and same issue. I have communicated with one of the rom developers and gave him a logcat of when this issue happens but he is unable to isolate the problem. I also flashed dirtyunicorns (after doing full wipe), another 4.3 rom and and I have the exact same issues with wifi breaking data when I turn it off. After this, I have gone back to my backup of dandroid (4.1 rom) and I have no data issues anymore. I can turn wifi on and off no problem and it doesn't affect my data connection. I beginning to think somehow its related to the 4.3 version but this is unconfirmed. If anyone has any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You don't flash the recovery by using Unrevoked, because if you even try, it would be like re-rooting, which can lead to some serious issues. You need to get into HBOOT and flash something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
When you say the phone "turns on", does it boot into the ROM? The combination of buttons you are holding should take you to HBOOT...

You said the error happened two days after you flashed that ROM... Do you have an unlimited data plan? Were you using the tether and/or other networking services excessively? And please expand more on "wouldn't take an update", screenshots and your current PRL/profile would be somewhat helpful.
RC1024 said:
For error 67, and this applies to most sprint phones that use Vision, Powervision, EVDO, Etc. Error 67 indicates that the username or password stored in your phone is incorrect. this condition is very rarely related to the coverage in an area, usually occurs after recent device swap, or attempting to use modem/hotspot while your account does not have a valid modem/hotspot plan.
Before going through too much effort, you should power your phone off, then back on, update your profile (this varies by model support.sprint.com has guides for most phones) and determine that the feature that you are attempting to use should work ( for example to use hotspot, you must be subscribed to hotspot. to use phone's web browser the web service should not be blocked, Etc.)

Update: Have you ever considered doing a nandroid backup, then reverting to a purely stock ROM to restore your PRL? That may very well be the answer...

I'm assuming you were on an aosp ROM, coming to a sense ROM. When you restore data back (as in 4.0.4 --> 2.3.5) it causes problems.

Power off the phone, then hold the power button and the volume down button together; this should bring you to HBOOT. Once inside HBOOT, you should be able to select "Recovery" from the list of options.
Ok, I will start from the beginning of this debauchery.
I recently moved to a new state (Tennessee to be exact). I had 4 bars, and had great phone reception. Incoming and outgoing calls with absolutely no problems, but the web wouldn't load at all.
I am about 1 hour away from another time-zone and my phone kept changing its time, which caused my alarm to not go off and I have been late for work 4 times in the past 2 weeks because of this. This was the main reason I updated my PRL, as I thought it might fix this issue.
So, after updating it, I now have absolutely no signal. I might get a smidge of signal after walking around the house for 10 minutes, only to receive texts and maybe a voicemail if I am lucky. (I would call Boost, but I have no phone to use since this happened)
I am a total noob when it comes to android, this is my first android so please explain like I am five years old.
The phone is rooted, but only because I found a pretty easy to follow step-by-step guide.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Sorry for the late reply, I have been pretty busy with the move.
My phone is Fi22, and I am using this kernel-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
and I don't remember installing any custom ROM (Mainly because I couldn't find any that interested me that were compatible)
I do have a recovery (clockworkmod) but the last backup is to basically factory settings. And I don't want to do that unless absolutely necessary, and I have a feeling it might not fix the issue even if I do this.
I called Boost from work, and sat on the phone for 2 hours. They had me do ##72786#. Then they told me to drive around my house until I found a spot with full bars and then update the PRL and profile and it would "drag" the signal to my house.
So I did this, and the closest place was about a mile and a half to two miles out.
Sadly, this didn't fix it.
I am still about 3 months away from my deductible on the insurance that I pay, so breaking the phone and getting a new free one is not possible.

OK..from the link you gave..( a kernel update page )..I'm assuming you are on stock touch wiz with a custom kernel and cwm/agats recovery..good. Now I believe from what I read the kernel is based on modem fi27.That is a pretty new modem, the newest for ICS is fl24.. If I was you I would grab the fi27 and fl24 modems from rwilcos repository ( in zip format ) and flash one or the other, update you're PRL and profile and see which gives the best signal..This is not a direct science, you may have to try many different modems to find what works best in this new area..just be sure they are ICS modems..or you will not have data..If you need advice on how to flash a modem you can hit me back up..But its simple and there are a ton of guides around,as well as a guide in rwilcos repository page.

After flashing to Fi27, FL24, Fi25, Fi03, and FH23 nothing has changed (Fi25 and FH23 wouldn't even boot). I even tried clearing the data and updating PRL/profile.
Sadly, I am stuck with 1 bar in a 1'x1' area in my home.

Well..you didn't need to clear the data..Just clear cache and dalvik cache( under advanced ). Then reboot and update prl and profile.. This order for each modem you flash. But if you did this and still no service I'm afraid it is probably a location problem. You might look into putting a custom prl in..this will allow you to roam on different carriers. I have never tried it as I have good service in the windy city.But there are quite a few threads about it..seems always sprint people doing it. By the way..if you're on boost..I thought I seen that you are... You could try a boost modem..not sure how it would mesh with custom kernel..couldn't hurt though to try. Let me know. I'll dig around and see if I can come up with anything else.

I did wipe the cache and dalvik. I will look into custom PRL's tomorrow I guess.

Think I might of found something..read through it. Looks promising. I would think it would work for our boost phones since we really are sprint customers.. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231596 ...also check to see what you're roaming settings are set for in your phone. I have mine set to roam when ever..unlimited plan and I plan on holding them to it..lol

I just re-read you're op to see if I missed any info..I see that the web wouldn't load ..you know it might be that kernel...if I was you I would flash a stock kernel with Mobil Odin lite ( apk in xda somewhere, just search it ) You need the kernel to be in TAR Format for mobile Odin...Make sure its for boost and not sprint.. I believe this is where we messed up. You see. When you flashed that kernel before it was fine, but when you did the update it gave you a sprint prl. Now you have a sprint prl on stock boost ROM and a custom kernel built for a stock sprint ROM..See where I'm going with this.. Actually..if I was you I would down load a touch wiz ROM from the android development thread..make sure its ICS because you're not set up yet for jb..the blue Kuban ICS is awesome..follow the op in that thread to flash..I use Mobil Odin and the direct boot el29 kernel to flash Roms. If you want to go this route hit me back and I will post a step by step guide for you..

. THIS IS FOR THE BLUE KUBAN ICS FL24
step one - download ROM , format all x 2 , fl24 modem , direct boot el29 kernel ..... Place on internel storage/root of sdcard
two. - install mobile Odin( lite or paid version ) lite version can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
three. - use mobile Odin to flash direct boot kernel. It will boot to recovery on its own.
four. - push volume up , volume down , volume up ....this will enable the power button to select you're choices.
five. - wipe data , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache
six. - flash format all x 2 zip
seven. - flash ROM..reboot..( el29 will not flash modems ) so flash it before hand or after the Kuban boots up..
.... You will need to flash a MMS fix zip for boost to get you MMS working after this or go into apn 's and change them manually..I can tell you how if you decide on this route..

I am going to try this, but I cant seem to find the kernel. I found GB - Direct Boot CWM, but not ICS. Is that the one I'm looking for?

I'm sorry...yes it is a gingerbread kernel..We couldn't flash from ICS back in the day, unless its a safe version like what you have now.. The emmc brick bug will brick you're device..So they made the el29 and el26 kernels for flashing. Most new kernels for ICS are safe now,unless specified in that kernels thread. And like I said..flash the modem now because el 29 will not flash modems. Let the ROM boot and chill for awhile before you flash anything else(if you decide too)..you can update you're prl as soon as the ROM boots.. If this doesn't get you home I'm afraid a custom prl is the next step..Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.. Let me know how it goes..

I went ahead and did everything that you said, and sadly it hasn't changed a thing.
I'm currently on PRL version 31104, which I believe is the most recent but I cant find any lists or information regarding boost PRL.
How do I fix my MMS?

Can't find the zip..must be on home computer..I'm at work..,but
You can use the msl way, which involves a terminal emulator and the dialer code ##data# or you can use an APN shortcut app from play store or even Nova launcher.I use nova launcher because its the launcher I use anyway.. Long press the screen and pick shortcuts then activities. Scroll to settings any pick it. Then scroll down to APN..pick it. Back at home screen pick new shortcut..when APN screen pops up hit menu and pick add new APN. Then put in what I have in screen shots..save APN pick the circle beside new APN so its lit up and exit.send one to you're self to jump start it and make sure its working..Let me know if you have trouble.. I'm about to leave work and can give you a better guide in an hour,if you can't find anything else online..might need to do a reboot for it to work.

Well, this didn't seem to work. But I'll try and find another guide online.
As a token of my appreciation, I have made this signature for you.
Thanks for all of the help :]
Let me know what size you are stretching it to and I'll fix it so it doesn't lose the quality.

Hey man...Thanks for the SIG.. I put it up,with a little side note to you for making it.. If you can't find a MMS fix let me know and I'll walk you through it..shouldn't be more than just changing you're mmsc url.. But this phone can have gremlin's sometimes....

OK I'm home..let's fix you're MMS..The zip I have is for asop roms, so nogo there and some ROMs won't let you edit apns in list..So I believe this is the way to go...First you need you're msl number..you can get it by typing '' su '' into a terminal emulator,no quotations. Then hit enter. Next type '' getprop ril.MSL '' just how it looks, no quotations. This should give you a 6 digit number. If it doesn't you can go the dialer and type ##data# then click edit and enter any 6 digit number. It will give you an error. This is OK. Now go back to terminal emulator and repeat above steps. If none of this works..call boost. They will eventually give it to you. After you get the msl..go back to you're dialer and put the code back in(##data#). Click edit and enter msl. Then scroll down and click on others. Then click mmsc url and click on the url.. Then edit it '' http://myboostmobile.com '' hit OK..and exit this screen. Now send one to yourself..should work..

Reboot you're phone..also remember that this phone uses mobile data to send MMS..so with you're weak signal it might take awhile..you could use you're WiFi just to see if its working. And I think you will need to go into you're APN settings and pick the circle on the right of listed APN.It will probably say sprint but that doesn't matter. Then reboot..Sorry man, my brain is not working today. I should have told you that earlier.

I actually did that, but what fixed this for me was that in the paragraph you wrote "http://myboostmobile.com" (which I used). In the picture, yours said "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" and switching to that seemed to fix it after I rebooted again. Ok, so atleast im back to square one now lol.
But I do have this nice rom now, and Nova is awesome.
