I have rooted my Sprint Evo 4G using this guide
forum.xda-developers dot com/showthread.php?t=765496
It was rooted successfully and worked fine, But there is one problem i am having ... 1st after i rooted and installed rooted rom, after 2 days i stopped receiving txt messages from anyone so i had to go to ##786# and Menu and reset setting ...so it removed all apps and everything and rested my phone, but root was still there with rooted rom, so i thought it must have been sum glitch or something but after 2 days it happened again and i had to do the same process over again of resting. People can receive my txt messages but i stop receiving messages after very 2days. so if this happens again i am going to stock ROM. If anyone know how to fix this. Please help!!
Thanks....

Background:
I rooted my phone back in August using the method described in this video (http://androidandme.com/2010/07/phones/intro-to-rooting-your-sprint-htc-evo-4g-video/) I've flashed numerous ROMs to my phone without much issue. However I recently flashed the latest Fresh ROM and have no data connection. I know its not the ROM itself because I nandroid restored back to 3 different ROMs and still cannot connect.
I upgraded and downgraded my PRI and Radio to various versions but still no luck. So next I called Sprint and asked them to reactivate my phone thinking that it would reset the connection and fix my issue. They asked me to type in ##(somenumbers)## which rebooted my phone and brought me to the hands-free activation screen. Not only did this not work, but I fully lost all connectivity. Previously I had a 3G logo that wasn't lit up, but my phone was able to download "some" data at very slow speeds. Now no 3G logo and no connection.. (idk why I called sprint?!?)
I figure loosing root and installing the latest OTA should fix my problem. So I initially tried the method described in the forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743192), and got stuck at a black screen with an HTC logo. My HBOOT number changed to 0.93.0000 but im still rooted.
Next I downloaded the latest ota through my phone via wifi, but the install process fails about half way through. So now I'm thinking that if I downloaded the latest unrooted ota to my PC and flashed to the ROM I could lose root that way.
Solution?:
What are your thoughts? Do you think going back to stock unrooted android will fix my issue?
I truly appreciate ANY help you can give me. I'm completely "lost" without a working phone!
THANKS!!!

Do this first, update your PRL and Profile, always do this when you update the radio.
Then if that does not work, proceed with the steps below.
Do the nandroid restore, I would hope you are using ARMON RA b/c it backs up your WIMAX(wimax.img). Get you phone working again then focus on the the
radio(s).
ive been using cm7 since it came out. works great, no problems. havent flashed anything new or made any changes to my phone is the past few weeks. i wake up this morning and can't send texts or make calls. i thought maybe i needed to update my profile. i wiped my phone and flashed a sense rom and my profile wouldn't update. data wont connect either. so i tried to reset it so it do the hands free activation again, and now its totally ****ed. cant make or recieve calls or anything. it erased my number and stuff from the epst menu.
does anyone know how to fix this without me having to take it back to sprint?
You did a full reset and wipe? Maybe you can unroot it and go back to the stock rom or flash a backup. But if you go to sprint they may not help you because your phone is rooted. Well good luck

Ok, so I've been using Fresh 3.5.0.1 for a while now, and recently I noticed something odd. My signal stregnth would differ greatly from a stock evo. Mine would show no signal at times when the stock evo showed it had full signal. This was a minir inconvienience at times, but recently I screwed something up, and I don't know how to fix it. I used Fresh updater to update my phone to Fresh 4.0b3, and after the update I had no signal at all. I've tried everything I can find to try to fix this, and like an idiot I didn't do a nandroid backup before flashing. I'm really stuck here. I went back to 3.5.0.1, have radio 2.15.00.11.19, PRI 1.90_003. Does anybody have any ideas? What went wrong? As of now, I can't make or receive calls.
Update: I just opened up GMail, and I had 5 bars and 3G, and it checked for new email. about 20 seconds later, no signal, 3G is grayed out, and I can't make or receive calls.
Are you sure it's just your phone & not Sprint? From what I've heard they have had outages recently.
If it is your phone, try doing the fix mentioned here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
Also try downgrading your PRI. If that doesn't work, you can try flashing the stock rom or unrooting & returning to stock. If it still persists at that point, I would take it back to Sprint for a replacement.
I think Sprint may have something to do with it, I've had to call them to reset my profile once already, but my girlfriend has a stock evo, and she always has full signal in our area. I'll give the steps in the link you provided a try. Thanks for the help.
I had this problem twice before....each time I did a factory reset in settings then rebuilt with sprint lovers rom image then went back to the rom I was using at the time..hope this helps..
I don't know exactly what the problem was, but 30 minutes with tech support got it working again. I think I'm going to leave it as is for now, and wait until Fresh 4.0 comes out of beta. Or, I'll just wait until I get my hands on the EVO 3D
Thanks for the support, its comfoting to know that there is a resource (these forums) where people are willing to help others with their problems. I've done reserch using XDA, but never posted anything. Thanks for the help!
OK guys i'm a complete noob here at XDA (registered yesterday) but i'm getting really desperate and confused and since i've seen XDA is such a great community i thought i'd give it a shot...
My GSII had been running BeastMOD ROM II v3.0 for about a month now and it worked like a dream but about 3 days ago i turned off my phone and then turned it back on a minute later and I HAD NO NETWORK!! Now, that i recall i didn't do anything to cause this. I called t-mobile and went through all their troubleshooting, no luck. I flashed BeastMOD ROM II v4.2, no luck. Re-flashed BMOD 3.0, no luck. I noticed i don't get ping to my network, I have no IMEI number(i get null/null), and no baseband version(unknown). I'm really worried and hopefully you guys can help me some suggestions ASAP as i haven't had network in three days.
restore a back up of your stock if you still have it.
and this will only get me back to stock and not undo root or will it? will try
Here's what happens. I try to do my first stock ROM restore and it says
"Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!" <--Whats wrong? I'm currently doing a restore on a backup three hours after that one which i'm not sure which one it is (maybe the first backup after i installed BMOD 3.0) but hopefully it will do something.

Hey thanx for that last link but the freakin person that made that method just bailed on me after his method screwed with my phone. I have stock now but i have a problem where my phone keeps rebooting until it gets network and even after it finds network and gets its IMEI and Baseband version back, that "fix" doesn't let me use data and for some actions the phone says the SIM card is not ready or available. and when i turn off the phone and back on it keeps rebooting until it finds network like i said. I don't know what the EFS is but that could be something that is making the phone malfunction. Please! Someone help!
i had almost the same problem.
My IMEI is still there, but it just won't connect to any network! All of a sudden, I woke up and it wont connect!
I'm getting a replacement sent to me from tmobile. weird.
I've got a lot of problems actually. I have a Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) with 4.4.2 that I rooted yesterday, but I didn't back up the stock ROM before trying to flash Cyanogenmod. I lost data, eventually I lost wifi, and then I think I bricked it trying to flash various things to fix it. I then tried to flash stock firmware but ended up with a phone that thinks it's on the Sprint network (still no mobile data). I haven't had any luck trying to find stock ROMs and kernels for Virgin Mobile (assuming that's what I need to fix it?). I'd like to be able to go back to the out-of-the-box unrooted ROM until I can do more research.
I'm completely new to the entire process and clearly got in over my head. I hope you guys can point me in the right direction.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Stand by
Good luck
Thank you
So I think my problem is resolved. I used Kies to update the firmware, which seemed to successfully return the phone to unrooted stock. I reactivated my network via the VM website. I can send and receive calls and texts. The only thing is that I don't see the VM logo screen at startup. Should I be worried?
If everything is working as it should then no worries about a missing splash screen... Sounds like you're good to go
