hello im new to these forums (well forums in general) so if i post this wrong or something just tell me thank you
so anyways i just flashed the evolutionv8 rom to my evo and i booted up and in the set up screen it tells me there is no data connection so i must use wifi, but there is bars on top it, thus it doesnt let me connect to anything outside of a wifi network. is this a known issue? should i try reflashing it? i used this way of rooting and flashing the rom celebwebnewsDOTcom/tech/steps-flash-rooted-stock-rom-htc-evo-4g.html (im new so it wont let me post urls) just instead of using Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip as the rom i used evolutuionv8 downloaded from toasts froyo update thread. so if anyone knows a fix please let me know. much appreciated!

Probably would've had better luck in the Q&A section, but no worries its your first post.
This sometimes happens to me (where it takes a little bit for the data connection to kick on), so I would say give it 5-10 minutes and see if that doesn't fix it. If not, I would definitely consider a reflash as I have been running this ROM today with no issues.
ooo okay im really sorry for the wrong post! but now im flashing the evolutionv8revA because i realized the evov8 was actually older. i read somewere im supposed to flash a updated radio or something?
welll not i flashes the reva rom and now it says im roaming? but now i can access everything again
Hey guys so after flashing a rooted 3.29 ROM and the latest WiMax/Radio/PRI, my 4G is not working. It will turn on fine and then say Connecting to Sprint then Authenticating to Sprint and then it goes back to Scanning. It should connect fine because I'm in an area with GREAT 4Gband it worked fine here before updating all that ****. If anyone can help that'd be awesome as I love my 4G. I'm no noob so it's especially frustrating but I can imagine people are having similar issues. Thanks in advance.
You know what? I saw this same problem happening over in Freshhh's thread and some people are reporting that updating their PRL and profile fixed the problem. Maybe give that a shot and see if it works?

I tried that but no dice. Basically it looks like it's going to connect but it doesn't - it starts with "Connecting to Sprint" then goes to "Authenticating to Sprint," then "Disconnecting," and finally "Scanning."
I found out that I had a bad MAC address so I fixed it, but it still isn't working. I'm so frustrated at this point.
Your RSA Key has been altered...only know fix is finding one of YOUR backups of wimax.img in /sdcard/nandroid...sorry

What do I do with the wimax.img from one of my nandroids? I have a nandroid of when it was working (I think)
I found this post that seems to show you whether you're super screwed or not. I just realized I'm having the same problem now too with 4G. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was happening last Saturday when I was in a 4G area. Hmmm..... I'm gonna have to make time to go back to my parent's house and try to fix this. Anyway, if I come across something I'll let you know Mack.
Mack,
Have you tried to flash back to RUU 1.47 and going back to stock? I've read here (post 7) that that might do the trick. I was thinking the same thing as well but I'm looking for some proof that it's gonna work. What really sucks is that I actually have to go to a 4G area tonight but I got business there and can't work on the phone as the same time. Talk about being tempted to blow off responsibilities.....

I hear you on that - I've actually heard that once you lose wimax keys then they're gone, nothing you can do really =/ I'm still investigating
Take your wimax.img and flash it in a PC36IMG.ZIP and let it flash. Guaranteed wimax will work if your rsa keys are in it and you mac is correct
AmonRA recovery seems to be key to preventing borked 4G...if you have any nandroids that you made while 4G was working w/ AmonRA version 1.8 recovery, you can flash it and it will restore your RSA certs.
4G fixed, flashed an old nandroid wimax.img

Thank you for that little tid bit.
After flashing the newest radio and pri my 4g got borked. It would connect and then immediately drop. After a PRL update and reboot it wouldn't even connect anymore, just scan and then turn off. I went to go restore from an earlier nandroid only to find out i had some bad checksums on the two recent nandroids I had made with 1.8 and therefore it wouldn't restore. Arg! Even though I had 4 other nandroids, they were made with 1.7 and I'm guessing that wimax support wasn't added till 1.8. Then I found here that I could just take the individual wimax.img file out, move it to a PC36IMG.zip file and then flash using bootloader. That fixed it! 4G is working like a champ again.
Many thanks to you and everyone whose posts I've been scanning for a glimmer of hope the past 5 hours. Weeeeee!
Well I found time to work on my 4g issues while I was in northwest indiana today and all I did was flash to the newest fresh rom and my 4g came back. Gotta be honest though - I was a little terrified there for a second. RA recovery FTW baby!

Just found out that my RSA keys are gone...so I'm ****ed. I do have insurance but really don't want to pay the $100 deductible. I may just have to try to trade my Evo for an Epic now
AmonRA FTW as usual!
Guys... I'm having the same issue but it seems that i have also lost the ability for the phone/GPS to find its location.
Also, my nandroid backup does not have a wimax.img
Can anybody please shed some light?
EVO 2.2 stock Rom rooted with Unrevoked
Ok... just did the prl update and got GPS/location working again.... I'll post updates for 4g soon.
my 4g got borked too! not sure where to go...my mac address is missed up though going to try and fix that and see if i can get 4g back anybody else recommend anything?
Yeah... I could not get it fixed. Luckily I had a nandroid backup so I put it back and now everything is back to normal...except I still have the old PRI and radio :-(

If you don't have Amon and don't have a nandroid on Amon then you're probably **** out of luck - at least that was the case with me. I'm waiting on my new Evo replacement to come in the mail.

Hi guys
I have gps issue. In order for me to get gps work and locks, I have to turn wifi.
Now I have el29 rom but I tried it on ek02 and ics rom it was the samething.
On my htc evo whenever I turned gps on, it would be locked right away without turning wifi on.
Is it the problem that I only have or you have it too!
There are several threads about this already..
Sent from my Super Sexy Epic Touch.
Idk if this helps... But many people lose gps when flashing an ics leaked rom.. I had it happen to me.. This is what I did to fix it, that worked.. I flashed a Gingerbread rom, got a lock, left gps on, then flashed back to an ics rom. This is the trick many are doing that works.
You can try getting a gps lock, leaving gps on, then flash another gingerbread rom. See if the problem is still there after you boot up....
Sent from my SPH-D710
Try attached file.
1. back up your existing file \system\etc\gps.conf
2. unzip and place the attached file to same location
3. reboot
4. check your GPS connection
5. if no changes, then you can place back the original file to same place
For me, GPS worked great but I'm using this modified gps.conf file for my phone.
My problem is I can get gps locked but I have to turn wifi on in order to get gps locked.
do you have this problem?
by the way Im on stock el29 rom

My friend honestly your issue is not isolated as well as the numerous amounts of threads you could possibly look in for answers. I understand to you the simple thing would be to just post a question but try to take the time to look around. Any question most of us have usually has been asked prior and answered.
I have listed a few links that may or may not help you but either way it is a starting point for you. Do some homework and do some testing... change kernels, change radios, try different roms, flash zip files, use GPS Status, try FastFix on the market... In other words before you post next time, talk to ya boy Google for some advice

Based on what you said, there are high chances that your phone is not getting the enough signal to search your location. The same thing happens whenever we try the speed test. this app try to find the closest server from my current location, but if the signal is week, then it fails. But once it detects the location thru wifi or GPS, it works fine.
In your case, I think your previous htc evo has some different gps.conf information. When you check it, there are several information regrading the GPS servers. So, if you want, you can extract the same file from your htc evo phone and inject to your new one. Again, I think it will work like a charm.
For my file attached before, it's up to you. If you do not find any other workaround, you can try it.
I've had this phone for about a week now.
First few days, phone was great! Very quick and awesome. 4G was all over my work area.
Then I used ToolKit program to unlock/root my device.
Since then, no more 4G at work. And It goes IN and OUT of the places where I used to have 15+ MB downloads.
I even used ODIN to Unroot everything. Still didn't help.
Anyone else experience anything similar?
This is exactly what is happening to me, I even ODIN'ed back to stock and got 4G working again... Idk what's wrong with my phone. I updated prl, profile and everything and have never got a good 4G signal since I rooted and been on customs roms.

Yeah man. It's sh*tty,
I wish it was mentioned before I did it.
I miss having 4G when I finally got it.
Rooting will do NOTHING to mess with your phones signal/4G! If you updated or switched radios that could cause a problem, but rooting WILL NOT.
I know it has nothing to do with signal but still, the only difference between now and before is that I'm on a custom rom and rooted, I use to get 4g in most of the areas I visit and now I never get it. :/

actually what he said is right...ROOTING WILL NOT MESS WITH YOUR RADIO SIGNALS
double check if you had flashed the wrong radio (flash the right one if this is the case) ...or the current ROM you have in has issues (check their thread if anyone else having it)...if all all else fails revert to stock
i'm starting to see why people warn against tool kits. you probably inadvertently flashed an incompatible radio somewhere down the line.
download the fd02 cwm zip here and flash in recovery. it will probably fix your issue. if not, try using fastboot to flash the radio .img's
also, learn fastboot. it's easy, awesome and fun! i always shied away from it because installing the android sdk seemed like a gargantuan task but there are .zip's floating around with the files required to run fastboot. all you do is place them on the root of your harddrive. pm and i'll be glad to assist further.
it could be something as simple as your apn settings...

There's nothing wrong with tool kits. They are very helpful and useful tools, but...
YOU really need to know what you are doing just in case something goes wrong.
If you can "inadvertently" flash a wrong radio, you probably shouldn't be rooting in the first place.

I know how to use ADB and fastboot.
I just used the toolkit because that's what it's made for. I've used plenty of toolkits before and they all worked fine.
Anyway, I will try flashing the FD02 and see if it works. Thank you.
yeah just try flasing another radio and it doesnt hurt to check the md5 either
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.

Hey guys! good news/bad news. I got the IMEI restored to my phone!

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!

I did change those settings back, mt3g. i did find one post that seems helpful...

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
