Ever since I rooted with the recent 2.2 Unrevoked method I have had some very strange behavior ever since, despite returning to stock via flashing the stock RUU.
All lag and force closing aside, I've done the following:
1. Leaked .6 update.
2. Recent 2.2 root via Unrevoked method
3. Reverted to stock ROM
4. Reverted to 2.2 root
5. Cleared all caches and factory defaulted via clockworkmod
6. Reverted to stock ROM
7. Updated PRL
8. Updated Profile
No matter what, if I setup Sprint's hotspot (I pay the $30/month), I can connect from my laptop the first time. Then if I power down the laptop, then power off the phone, power on the phone, then power on the laptop (this is my every day routine in that I leave my laptop at work) I have to rebuild the Hotspot every time or my laptop will connect with no internet access. Basically I have to go in and change the SSID and re-do the password then turn the Hotspot on again before the laptop will reconnect. Merely turning the Hotspot off and then back on does not resolve the issue. I have to change and save a setting. Some times it takes me an hour to get everything connected again.
I ran with the pre-leased Froyo update for some time (2-3 weeks) and things were working flawlessly. I *think* I even RUU'd to stock after that before root came out and still no issues. Things were pretty snappy until I rooted 2.2 for the first time.
I don't know that root has anything to do with it. Perhaps it's merely a coincidence.
Any ideas? Should I consider returning my EVO and if I do should I expect a refurb as a replacement?
Why not cancel the $30.00/month fee from Sprint and download the wireless tether app from Google and do the same thing for free? The app works great.
If you want a USB wired solution, try EasyTether from the Market.

Hey guy my wireless tethering wont work for my newly installed skyraider 2.5.2 sense. My computer wont connect to my phone. I even have the bin file in the android.tether folder on my sd card. Thank you for any help.
Describe the symptoms. It took several tries for me to get it working, which included rebooting the phone, entering my WPA key twice in Wireless Tether's settings to get it to "stick", and rebooting Windows (Win 7's damn wireless is as flaky as XP's). I kept getting an error that my key was invalid, or "not recognized", or whatever the hell Win 7 tells you.
Once I got it connected once, though, it has worked flawlessly a couple of times since.

My phone won't broadcast the signal. It broadcasted it once but my computer said it couldn't connect to the internet. I just updated to 2.5.2 sense last night. I updated from the leaked ota. The wireless tethering worked with the leaked ota. The leaked ota wasn't froyo it was the update for 720p recording.
Also I never updated my radio when I updated my phone from the 2.1 leaked ota to sky raider 2.5.2 sense. Is the radio needed for anything
Another question. When I went from the ota 2.1 rooted to skyraider 2.5.2. Do I need to to root again?

If you read the Skyraider post it says to rename the WT folder and to download the WT updated apk which He has posted on the post itself.

don't think so. once you root, you are rooted until you un-root it. Just run titanium backup and save everything, flash the rom, download TB and restore all your apps.
Follow the "Tethering out of the Box" section of the Wiki found here: Droid Incredible Wiki and the WiFi Hotspot feature included with SkyRaider will work and Verizon will not charge you a dime extra.
Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:

good luck man, hope this helped!
I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
Hi all, I've done a search but can not find a similar problem.
I have Eclair 2.1 running on my Desire. It's rooted
The problem is I can not connect to my router (or any other router for that matter).
The phone does however recognise available wireless networks. Allows me to select my home network and enter the WEP but just doesn't connect. It also has a MAC address allocated on the phone.
One thing I am unsure of is when I try to enter the WEP key, just above the input box there is the drop-down option to select Key Index of which the options are 1, 2, 3 or 4. What does this mean?
I've also got the option to update the OS to Froyo 2.2. It's an OTA update and unfortunately my only option is to do t via 3G as I can't do WIFI (as stated above). Almost 90mb!!!
Will there be any issues with installing this update... considering this phone has been unlocked, Rooted and has ClockworkRecoveryMod?
Don't want to waste 90MB to find it doesn't work.
Just a suggestion. try disabling your router security and see if it connects then. If it does try using Mac address filtering instead so the desire will think it's just going onto an unsecure network.
Why would you want to take the official OTA upgrade to froyo at this time when there are a bajillion custom froyo, desire hd and gingerbread roms out there?
If you like htc sense and froyo, then i suggest you try leedroid. Its pimped up stock froyo. And you can download it onto your computer first. Plus its guaranteed to work.
If I'm not wrong, doing the OTA update will overwrite your hboot and recovery as well, thus unrooting your phone. And the newest hboots may be shackled down with more security that existing methods cannot unlock- your phone may become unrootable.

Unfortunately... very unfortunately indeed... I went through with the OTA update via ClockworkRecovery. I used the 'Apply SD Card/Update.zip' option before I read your reply.
I've bricked my phone!! It won't go bast the initial HTC screen.... just keeps rebooting. Yes... I'm kicking myself for it now.
I've lost recovery mode now. I can get into the initial bootloader screen but when you select the option for 'Recovery', I ust get a pic of a phone with a hazard sign [!]. Very bad. It doesn't repspond to anything and the only way to turn it off is to pull the battery.
Any suuggestions on how to fix or have I got a dud phone now?
managed to sort it out eventually. Phew!!
Still got the wifi issue though
I've changed the Router (o2 wirless box) settings from WEP to WPA/PSK.. also selected different channels and even tried it without any security on at all (open network)... but my phone still won't connect. It scans perfectly fine and finds the network. Just won't connect.
I thought the Froyo update might hep fix it but to no avail.
i'm never going to get to the bottom of this am I?
Hi all,
I'm facing a little problem after having rooted my Galaxy W (I8150) stock ROM; I longer seem to be able to use the built in wifi tethering.
Whilst turning on wifi tether, I look for the hotspot on the PC's wireless connection window (next to the clock in the taskbar). Sometimes the Access Point (which I've left named AndroidAP) shows up, sometimes it doesn't. When it does, I try to connect, but only to have the connection later dropped without being established in the first place.
I noticed this within a few days, after rooting, when I tried to use the wifi tethering function. The problem persists after unrooting too. Currently, to use wifi tethering, I've got to use a tethering app from Market and the app demands root privileges to work. Which is fine, but I don't intend to keep my phone rooted.
Whilst rooted, it has happened in the past, by what I can only describe as mere fluke incidents, where it establishes a connection, and later dropped it. But more optimistically, one very few occasions, it had connected and remained connected for the duration of its use. However, now it no longer even establishes the connections, so now I'm left with nothing but yet another app to clog up my phone as a workaround.
My rooting and unrooting methods are found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394
under Rooting via Recovery mode(SD card) and Unrooting via Recovery mode(SD card).
I'm really not sure how I to fix this, I've even tried a hard reset. Though I've found that a hard reset does not in fact return the phone fully to original state(?); whilst still rooted, I tried to hard reset the phone. Afterwards, I found root privileges remained.
some additional information, few of which I actually know what it means myself:
I'm on T-mobile (UK)
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel version: [email protected] #3
PDA: I8150XXLA2
PHONE: I8150XXKL3
CSC: I8150OXXKL4
Does anyone know what needs to be done?
Bump
No one? :|
I just got this phone yesterday & rooted it about 30 min ago. My WiFi will no longer connect after root. Can I fix this somehow? I used to root often till AT&T locked the boot-loaders in the S4 days.
I have since tried to remove root with SU-User but the kernel reroots on reboot. The WiFi will connect to an open network. I just restored or recovered with smart switch & the WiFi didn't fix itself. Damn this sucks!
You broke it. That's what rooting does, before it worked properly - root - broken.
Try finding a modem and flashing just the modem, it may take several flashes before it sticks. This should fix it.
My Wifi works all the time,,,,, ohh I forgot no root for me.
Pp.
I went back to the factory ROM. All is well now. I forgot to come back & report I fixed it
Ok then, next time don't forget!
Will send the "root gremlins" after your phone.
Pp. Lol.
