For those with messed up GPS/4G/USB Connect with CM6 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had non working GPS (5 minute lock) / 4G (Scan forever even with other roms) / and USB connect not connecting on your computer I have a simple fix
Find this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773444
This is stock sprint rom with rooted
Use RAMON recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery/screen rotation
Flash to stock sprint rom
After doing that my GPS locked before my google maps could even load correctly, my 4g connected immediately 12MBs speed test (Houston, Texas)
And my computer recognizes and actually doesn't drop my phone
It may not work for everybody but it definately works for me
After this I decide to flash to another rom. i don't like paying 10 bucks a month for 4G and not use it. Vaelrom ^^

Last time I checked, there is no 4g in CM6...did I miss something here?

lol
So this activates 4g in cm6? which nightly!?

CM6 does not provide 4G at this time. nothing you can do to fix this unless you can code.
it's AmonRA (like the egyptian god) not RAMON (like noodle)
so basically the OP is giving you this suggestion..
1) always read the First Post for any ROM you want to play with.
...often common issues are listed there...or you can search the thread
2) do a nandroid
...dont forget to delete the old old nandroids...they do take up space
3) if you are having issues...do a full wipe and try a different ROM.
...because we all like a lil strange now and then
(ok..the first two suggestions are mine)

And for all those who don't like their current ROM, I have a fix for that as well...
try a different ROM. It may not work for everyone because the new ROM may not be as cool the one you just had, but it worked for me. Problem solved!

Brand New Rooted Evo With AOSP Rom Now No 3G Help!!

Alright I just rooted my bros brand new evo right out of the box
for some reason when i install an AOSP Rom I keep getting a 1x connection no 3g.
if anybody could help that would be great
His has the 2.10 hboot
everything works on a sense rom but when i install a AOSP rom (CM or MIUI) no 3g
please get back to me asap
Toggle airplane mode. Does it come on and then switch to 1X? Make a nandroid backup and switch to a sense rom if you have a backup. Once in the sense rom update prl and profile.

im having the same problem on MIUI, 3g doesnt come on at all after toggling airplane mode, i even went to a sense rom and updated profile and prl. as well as completely reactivating the phone, the 3g just wont stay on, and ive yet to find a fix for it.
It is possible that you've never had 3G. On the stock rom, the EVO always shows the 3G icon even if you aren't connected to 3G.

+1. On sense ROMS, it always shows 3g, if the data connection is turned on. It is only capable of showing 3g, even if you aren't actually connected to it. In the newer AOSP ROMs, they have the capability to show what you are ACTUALLY connected to at the time, so the AOSP rom is showing you the truth, what you're actually connected to, while the Sense ROM is lying to you, showing that you're always connected to 3g, when in fact, you're not. Flash the sense ROM that shows you're on 3g. Run a speedtest a few times, see what your avg download and upload speed are. Flash over to the AOSP rom, and repeat the same test. I bet they are the same or extremely similar, even though one shows you're on 3g, and the other shows 1x.
No, what is happening is that the AOSP roms DO NOT have the kernel for the new hardware, this is why you are getting no 3g. Go back to the latest sense and wait.

Like the guys said above is because of sense only showing 3G which is really dumb, like at my house I get 4 out of 6 bars in sense and only 2 out 4 in aosp roms and still has the same speed and not problem with phone calls , go out and check if 3G ever comes on and make sure your are is cover by 3G coverage

im on older hardware and the 3g turns on, but when i switch to wifi or turn of the 3g the 3g wont turn back on. ive read all about how the 3g icon and all that is different than on a sense rom but im literally not getting any 3g connection.
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
SgtUSMC method worked for me. Great stuff man, thanks!

Device Reboot when using WiFi or Mobile Interent

Please help. I just got used HTC Incredible.
It is S-OFF, Hboot-0.92, Radion 2.15.00.07.28 and Android 2.2
It is only work when no WiFI and not Mobile Internet.
If I turn on Mobile Interent I have up to minutes to use Interent and then device going in rebootin and white screen. Removing battery sometimes help and device starts loading but then will rebooting again.
Will changing ROM helps?
As I saw a lot of people has similar problems in USA.... may be I got bad device(
You received your DInc with S-OFF? Sounds like someone sent it in and the refurb department didn't do its job in checking the phone and reloading it... then sent it to you.
You could always flash the stock ROM back onto and see what it does.
http :// dougpiston . com/?page_id=108
is where you can get the Stock ROM from. You will need to place it on you SD card and name it PB31IMG.zip
Boot up into your HBOOT and proceed with the update
Thanks! It was on original Rom when I got it but with S-OFF! and was rebooting when try to use WiFi or Mob. Internet.
Now I'm on cyanogenmod 7 and then same problem.
Do I need play with radio version? Will it may help?
If you go back stock it will unroot you..... if you give me some more info I might be able to help..... like when you flashed cm7 did you do a full wipe and what recovery do you have
Plus did you get it from Verizon or Craigslist or something
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes, I did full wipe.
Now I'm under CM7 and seems it working now more stable. So I can use interent via WiFI near 10-15 minutes. Under Mobile connection near 5-10minutes. If I do just quick connection on 30-60 second it not rebooting at all.
I got the phone from a person who, I think, take it from ebay. It has verizon sign on it.
When I got it was with original lates ROM.
I'm starting think that it is overheating. May be I can low processor speed?
Updated. Also I've installed prog called 'neocore' which does 3d benchmark testing. I need to run just 2-3 times this test and my device starts rebooting.
I had a similar problem when using custom kernels with HAVS or smartass governors on them. Do you have Set CPU or any other program that controls your processing speed/voltage? If so, try disabling them and see if you still have the problem. Some phones do not react well to under/overclocking.
im not sure what kernel comes with cm7 but some dincs dont like multitouch kernels.... and they will kick you off apps and sometimes reboot so i would try switching kernels first.. try one that is close to stock
Just back to stock ROM. And what I see, that if I disable Mobile Internet it works stable. Just turn on Mobile Internet and it starts rebooting. Stock rom has a lot of apps which connect to the internet. Even with disabled auto-update I still see how on booting 3g icons areas and arrows up-down are blinking.
As I see after connection to the mobile internet my device starts rebooting. And only one think helps - remove battery and wait several minutes, which allows boot in successfully. And then if turn off mobile access it will work well (((
Thats odd that ur phone does that. Did u try and change the radio?
Seems that is last what I can try. Or will need to sell it on parts for cheap (.
As I know radio 2.15.00.07.28 is very stable. Which one you recomend to use?
And how to be sure that it will work well with my Current ROM?
Can I install older radio? like 2.07.00.07.16? or even older?
Thanks for help!

i have an idea man maybe you should run an RUU to unroot you and format everything back to the way it was from the factory.... if that dont help it has to be a hardware issue.... let me know and ill help you through it
Thank for helping. Just not sure that unroot may have difference. But will try at last.
What I had found last days. I had changed radio to some version.
On 2.15.00.09.01 was very fast rebooting after try use internet.
On 2.07.00.07.16 was working a bit longer, but not so much.
And 2.05.00.06.11 - the best one! Plus I switched to Stock rom with Android 2.2 and whole day without rebooting.
Only one reboot was when do charging of the device.
The only problem I've under 2.05.00.06.11 that Interent working only via 1x speed. It always tries to connect via 3G, but no luck and switch to 1x.
What do u think now?
Again, thanks for help!

Tethering (even paid tethering) not working

So I have the tethering option on my account. This was working at one time (though I am not sure the last time it worked). I flashed over to the CM9 kang in the development section from stock (after wiping system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and noticed that it did not work. After this, I tried GummyNex, which also didn't work. So, I restored from my nandroid backup and it doesn't work from the stock rom anymore either. What gives?
I have tried on two different laptops, as well. It will reject the password about 75% of the time, and sometimes it will claim to connect, but will not get internet access.
Anyone have any ideas?
Return your phone. If its doing it on every rom it sounds like hardware. Just my thoughts.

Try restoring one of the images from google. I wish I had a link but I am sure there is a restore thread in the CDMA forum.

Maybe your data is just dropping.. it's not a defective phone..

My 3G/4G data does not work when no wifi connection, but only on some roms.

I originally posted about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30570751#post30570751
My post was: I just installed JBSourceryV2.0-LTE on Verizon Nexus and now have no data/4G bars/connectivity at all. I did a full data/cache/dalvik wipe before installing JBSourceryV2.0-LTE.zip and then gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip. I have flashed several ROMs before and haven't had this issue. I have seen the white bars change from 3 to 4 a few times, but no data/4g connect. Calls and texts work, but web browsing and Play store do not. The blue bars mean no sync to Google? What am I missing? Turned off wifi and lost the blue bars. it seems I can only get the blue bars when wifi is connected. What's going on?

So now I have seen the same thing on BAMF Paradigm and Dark ParanoidAndroid and Codename Android (all latest versions), but I have no problems using Eclipse. It's obviously something on my phone, but why does it work with Eclipse, nut not the others? What do they do that Eclipse doesn't (or vis versa)?

check to see if mobile data is turned on and this belongs in Q&A and not dev.
settings -> more -> mobile networks -> data enabled

Yes, it's on. Toggled it on and off a few times to make sure.
I've also installed the latest radios and same thing. I guess I can do a complete wipe and see what happens.
OK, I reset my phone back to original using ...
"[TOOL] One click back to stock 4.0.4 for warranty/repairs"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743939
After that, the 4g data worked like it should.
So I re-rooted it using ...
[GNex TOOLKIT V7.8]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
and after that the same thing happened again, only white 4g bars unless wifi was connected.
Then I re-installed the Eclipse b15 rom that worked before (my backup was corrupt) and now it's doing it too, where before it worked. I have now installed at least 4 different roms and same thing happens ... 4 white 4g bars until I connect wifi then the 4bars go blue, while it's just white bars I have no data connectivity (web, play store, etc), but I can make calls and text.
Any ideas from anyone please would be greatly appreciated. Please.
Also, I've had this phone for about 3-4 months and have been putting ROMs on it ever since with no problems. This started about 2-3 weeks ago and, of course, I don't know what I would have done around that time that would have caused it. I don't remember doing anything that I don't usually do when rooting and installing ROMs.
Surely the unlocking, rooting, etc. must change something that effects the radios or something. I have searched for others with similar problems and cannot find a solution. Obviously it's not a common problem, but for some reason it is happening to my phone. It's got to be software because it works when at factory defaults.
No suggestions? Please... I've been rooting and applying ROMs since the Incredible came out, but I'm not a dev, I just can't figure this out. If you think I'm just not looking hard enough, then point me in a direction and I'll look.
Well, the weirdness continues. On my new warranty replacement phone I get 4g stock after using GNex Toolkit option 8 (unlock, root, rename, cwm, busybox all at once). But when I try JBsourcery or Eclipse, same old thing, no 4g!! I have rooted and ROMd my Incredible and my X2 probably 40 times each at least and never had any issues, there just isn't that much too it, so I don't see what can go wrong. I know since it's still happening on another phone it seems like I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what.
Here is my process for my Nexus (from stock 4.0.4):
-GNex Toolkit option 8 (unlock, root, rename, cwm, busybox all at once)
-Setup newly rooted stock with my gmail acct info, verify it has 4g data.
-Copy over some ROM and gapps .zip files
-Reboot in to recovery
-Wipe data, cache & dalvik
-Install ROM
-Install it's gapps
-Reboot
-Skip gmail setup because I don't have 4g (don't want to use wireless because that's not the point, but even after I do, 4g doesn't work)
-... and no 4g data
I wait for 15 minutes, I check and uncheck airplane mode, I pull the sim card and reboot... nothing.
Just this morning I did the above process and tried the following ROMS and still get no 4g.

I have tried it with LTE-FC05 / CDMA-FC04 and I have tried it with LTE-FG02 / CDMA-FF02. I have even gone backwards radio-wise just to see if that changed anything, it didn't. Right now I can only get 4g data with stock 4.1.1 (4.0.4 too) unlocked, rooted, etc. Any time I install a ICS or JB ROM, the 4g doesn't work. I just really am at a loss. It sucks because I like changing ROMs like 1-2 times a week. *sigh*
So what is the difference, radio-wise, between stock and most ROMs?
Are there any logs I can look at that might point me in the right direction?

[Q] Sprint Note 2 LTE Issue

Hello there, I have been in the search for a perfect 4.4 ROM to work, I seem to be at an impass..
The 2 that I have tried, and Quite enjoyed so far are the Omni ROM and the Cyanogenmod 11
Both roms have the same issue, I cannot connect to a 4g LTE Sprint tower. I know the LTE Towers are working, My mom has the same phone, Sprint Note 2 and I have Mac's Rom on it and is picking up a very strong 4g Signal, yet my phone which sits literly right next to it, Refuses to get any 4g.. I drove around, went to known working areas, Never once did I snatch a 4g signal.
I played with the settings, it is set to LTE mode, I even tried Flashing as a fresh Install..
I tried flashing a Stock rom, but for some reason after it installs, and on boot up the phone does not work. I get a blank screen and literly nothing. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. At that point I have to either Re-flash or restore a backup through CWM.
Any help would be appreciated, I miss my LTE Thanks
Same issue here. Not sprint though...
In cm11 set your mobile network type to cdma+lte/evdo or global. See if that works.
Next you can try to flash a touch wiz rom and do a hands free activation, verify lte works on the touch wiz rom, then flash to CM11 and see if you can connect to lte.

I have tried setting it to both. Global shows no signel what so ever on anything, I currently have it on cdma=lte/evdo and I just get a good 3g signal..
I might try that one out, Which is a good touch wiz rom to try and do that with ? I dont think I even tried a touch wiz rom yet

Personally I would recommend doing this:
Backup everything to your PC (both internal and external)
Delete the contents of the "0" folder on your internal card. If you use ES File Explorer, you'll need to enable root access, and then while in the app hit the menu button. The left menu will slide open and you'll see "Local".... underneath that you'll find the "0" folder. The problem is the way CM and Touchwiz mount the file system - they don't do it the same way. So when you do a factory reset in CWM, it doesn't clear out one of those folders. (I found this thread helpful - especially posts 2 & 4) I had major data problems on CM10 for 2-3 months, then I found this out.
After you do that go back to stock. Make sure you download the keep root file as well.
To play it safe, once stock, I highly recommend entering ##72786# in your dialer. The phone will grab the latest prl and update your profile. Whether or not you want to update the software (incl modem) is up to you, but I'd rather not get into the knox world.
Verify working gps. (I prefer "GPS Status")
Then go back to CM11.
I will try that out thanks

Update us on your progress.
If it works, consider hitting the thanks button - at the very least the guy in that other thread - I know I thanked him - his info saved me from going crazy!!!
I had working data (3g/LTE) on any touchwiz, but not on CM. It turned out that I had some corrupted data that wasn't getting deleted upon a factory reset. After I cleared out that data, everything was fine.
Hope your phone is back to normal!
Finally was able to download everything and run the tip, Thanks a lot dude! That helped and that did it ! I got 4g Back and everything is all peachy!!! Thanks again!
