Did you turn your 4g on first? You wont get a mac address unless it is on.
I also have the same problem. I went from CM6 to Fresh 3.2; i updated the radio and wimax radio and my 4G is stuck on "scanning" and says MAC address is unavailable
Take your phone to sprint. They will replace them. Just tell them your 4g is not connecting. As of right now I don't believe that there is a fix.

not true, he probably botched up his 4G while flashing somehow. The development section has a few dedicated threads with the necessary steps to fix a bad mac or broken 4G.
Also, the phone will not show a mac address until 4G actually connects

I had this same problem with my phone. I got a new phone, rooted it, and set it up on Fresh 3.1.0.2. Before I rooted my 4g worked fine. After flashing Fresh 3.1.0.2 it stopped. My MAC address still matched, but for some reason I could not get my phone to get passed scanning.
If you turn your 4g on, and let it try scanning you should eventually get a MAC address to show up. At least I did.
What I did to get it working again was I flashed the latest radios, and changed ROM's. I was on Fresh 3.1.0.2 and flashed up to 3.2, and all works well.
Also, make sure you know you are in a 4g area. I thought it was just me at first, but I tried some co-workers 4g and found that I wasn't getting 4g coverage in an area where I thought I had had it before. So just make sure that's not the problem.

4g WiMax Broken
So I live in area with 4g, worked perfect when i got phone, but then I went out of town for a month to area w/o 4g & rooted it, and have since flashed couple of different roms.
Now I'm back in 4g area and it doesn't work, and not sure when in rooting/flashing rom process it stopped working
I used simpleroot, and flashed burntdroid, then couple other roms I didn't like (virus, baked snack, maybe 1-2 others) now back to latest version of burnt. Before each rom flash I cleared all those things in recovery that they said to clear (devlik/user data?/some other stuff). I did flash kernel couple of times in between from one's on this site. I have never flashed a new radio, or wimax.
Did try turning on 4g like someone said, and then it does bring up correct wi-max mac address that matches one under my battery. But 4g does not show up at all on top of screen at all to show that it has connected.
I was going to try those procedures for ppl w/ broken 4g, but I never tried to flash a wimax radio, and my mac address seems to be correct, so not sure if I need to do that. What's wrong?? Should I flash a wimax radio?
ok so looking at some other threads trying to figure this out, looks like I may need to flash new radios.
Have some questions:
In one tutorial it says to flash newest radio BEFORE flashing new custom rom, any issue with me doing it now AFTER I have flashed custom rom?
Do I just take the latest radios from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and put them on my sdcard, and boot into recovery and flash em??
Toast had a post saying to do that, but one step says "Reboot to recovery and run .sh or .bat file to gain custom recovery"
Is this just holding vol down and power to get to custom recovery? What is this run .sh or .bat stuff? Also what's the difference between Radio and NV one's listed on that site?
well flashed the newest radio and wimax (not NV cuz still couldn't figure out what exactly that was) and didn't brick anything and wimax mac is stil correct, but still no 4g when im in area that should be getting it!
I ended up wiping the fresh rom and flashed the evio one and now I have blazing fast 4G, maybe the fresh rom just has issues with 4G
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
Maybe just a clean wipe will do the trick... I flashed the newest ota and wiped everything and my 4g magically started working.

my evo when I flash custom roms will always give me 1x instead of 3g icon... not sure why is there a fix of any kind?
Your probably not clearing everything when you flash the rom. Make sure you wipe everything when flashing a new rom.

Try going into espt. (you need to be on a sense rom) Enter ##3282#. Go to edit mode (you'll need your MSL number). Select 'evdo', and make sure that the preferred mode is set to automatic. I don't remember if it automatically reboots your phone when you commit the changes, but if not, then reboot it manually after you change it. That may help ya out.

Good call, only reason I didn't think this was the reason because most roms don't have the icon change when you lose evdo.

Right, but now that a lot of the Sense roms are incorporating that mod (the mod that shows if your truly on 3g or 1xx), some people are realizing that they aren't getting 3g signal at all. Some may have been on 1x the entire time, but then when they switch to a rom that shows what you're actually connected to, they realtize they're on 1x. That trick works for some people, but not all. I think it'll help out though.
Same 1x problem no matter what i do
Ive had this problem for about 5 months now and it doesnt matter what ROM i switch to or use it the same and going in EPST doesnt fix the problem neither when doing what you just said to do with the epst but when i do change it from AUTOMATIC to HRC it goes back on 3G but the downfall to that is that phone calls and text dont come in to your phone until you make a phone call so can anyone help solve the issue why is this happening? I have a white evo hardwhere 0003 used all kind of roms even stock and same thing and know alot about phones and been messing with them since windows mobile 6.1 HTC TOUCH for sprint soo... And my girls evo is and stays on 3GrevA. her in not rooted and is stock tho while mines is stuck eternally 1xrtt.

you may have facked your radio at some point? I would tinker with different ones till you get the sweet spot.

This. There may not be anything really wrong at all. I mean, it sucks to drop to 1X, but the stock ROM was lying to you.
Now, if you ONLY see 1X all the time, yeah, that's a problem. But an occasional switch over to 1X (particularly if you're in a tough signal area, like the core of an office building) is normal.
I am on mikG Rom I have had 3g before I updated radios got the new stock rom but at home I use a airwave for signal wonder if that messes anything up?

Have you tried one of the new Sense 3 roms? The reason I ask...when you go into 'ABOUT PHONE' in settings these versions give you a network option that others do not. Check to see what it is telling you are receiving 1X or evdo. If it says 1X...you may have the same issue I had...borked 3G. Once I got it replaced..I loaded up the 3.0 again just to check what it now said..and you betcha...evdo was now showing and not 1Xrxx (or whatever it was).
I tried everything as well for about three weeks..you name it..ROMS/RADIOS/STOCK/CUSTOM/ESPT even took it back to fully stock and then rooted again (lost my .76Hboot in doing so, but phone didn't work right anyway... I was grabbing for straws. Luckily it was just under the first year and paid the 35 to have it replaced (no warranty plan). I travel and no matter where I went the speeds were terrible..ya..the 1X/3G/EVDO in the notifications bar is just for looks...but you KNOW when your stuck on 1X...frustrating.
This may not be the case....but
kinda of a simple fix... first of all stock sense roms always show 3g even if you dont have it... if on every rom you flash you keep getting the 1x AND you alreeady tried radios, nv etc upgrades and those dont work, then it is your PRL not PRI... 2 different things... to fix it check out a thread under deveopement ..Deck.... cause there is a fix there, or google prl and pri update evo on google.. you will need msl and be on sense and be able to use espt
OK folks, don't understand what's going on here. All I have done so far is
Rooted with Zedomax v3
flashed stock kernel back on the phone
WiMAX definitely worked when I got the phone, but now I get stuck at "Obtaining IP Address"
Any ideas? Here is a link to my pastebin of WiMAX interface starting up...
http://pastebin.com/RkDYYSAM
The only way to tell what happened is to try a different kernel or rom and see if it works. If all fails go back to stock, if it fails then then you must have lost your wimax keys... and that would suck!

hmm, thought I read that Samsung doesn't have wimax keys in the same way that HTC does. They are embedded in the device and can't be lost. Plus, I make it pass authenticating to the tower, just seems to have problem establishing IP
Odin the eg30 stock rom/kernel that crawlj posted. It should fix it. This is what has been fmdone to fix the wifi and 4g problems.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
It looks more like a network problem to me (albeit a convenient one). Since the problem is obtaining an IP, then your wimax radio is having no problems actually getting the signal (otherwise it would hang on connecting) and problems identifying the connection. What I would do, if it were me, would be to flash crawrj's stock tar (the whole stock rom in tar form), factory reset and try again.
If it still hangs after that, then it's the tower and give it a day or two to get it's own panties out of whatever twist they're in.
Sometimes this kinda stuff happens to me too, but it always starts up again eventually

I' some what confused with why my phone is doing this.
I've flashed many roms and i always wipe everything down and never had an issue.
but for some reason, after flashing deck 1.3 stable and tiamat 3.3.7, it stopped connecting to 4g.
i flashed the latest radio and nothing.
just reflashed sense and updated prl and profile and still not connecting to 4g
it shows scanning for 4 seconds, then shows connecting to sprint for 1 second, then disconnecting, then back to scanning. I just don't get it.
any ideas? suggestions?
thanks fellas.
sounds like your rsa keys maybe missing. try restoring a nandroid backup of when your 4g was still working that may do the trick if not check out this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900&highlight=rsa+keys. i forgot theres a app in the market you can use its called wimax rsa key checker or something like that. if it says your keys are gone just return your phone back to stock and bring it in just remember to play dumb when you do. just tell them all of a sudden your 4g stopped working.

damn that sucks. like i said earlier just unroot and put back a stock rom, then bring it in to sprint and play dumb. if they cant solve the problem then most likely they'll order you a replacement phone. once you get your phone back try to use 4g again some how after they flashed new software for me my 4g was working again and i just canceled my replacement phone.
Unroot and put the newest stock OTA on it. Take it to Sprint tell them it updated while you were away from your phone or sleeping and the battery was low when you realized your phone was dead you charged it up and powered it on only to discover your 4g no longer works.
to take a stab at your second question, were you drinking Red Poopers? Red wine, tequila and tabasco...
that's why I'm generally hung over
I have downloaded and done a clean install of the latest ROM from Team-Venom "Wicked Sensations v2.0" First of all the ROM is so in depth, and runs smoother than any other ROM I have used in the last year. There is only one issue. The only way I can use mobile data is if I switch the mobile network to CDMA, 4G LTE does allow me to send and receive phone calls but no text messages, or any data whatsoever. . I have read all of Team Venom's thread, well most of it anyways, and I cannot find anyone else having this issue. I am aware of the rules of the forums, so I am posting this under the Q/A as not to bog down or step on anyone's toes, in the developers thread.
Is there a fix for the 4G data issue, or is it just my phone? I have tried everything I can think of such as..
Flash stock Kernal
Flashed the latest radios
flashed the latest PRL's (not sure what that would do but I did it anyways)
tried toggling airplane mode on and off.
Since nobody else is having this issue, I am not sure what else to try. also, when I am using LTE, I DO NOT have the 4G icon next to my signal bars, like I do when I am on 3G.
Before you ask, yes, I do in fact live in an area that does have 4G, I am in Kansas City Kansas.

Thanks for the replies all. I have done the suggested troubleshooting as follows
1: did a fresh install of the ROM (after wiping EVERYTHING first)
2. went through setup of the device (just to verify 4G was still not working, which it was not)
3. went to dialer and input ##486#
4. chose the reset option
5. entered my MSL # and then the phone did a factory reset.
When the phone came back up I had to go through the setup again, and had to turn on wifi to get through it because the data was still not working.
Also if anyone comes accross this and wants to know how to get the MSL # download a terminal emulator from the market and input "getprop ril.MSL"
Or check out this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28182339
Also while investigating the MSL further I found this possible solution-
"The phone needs to be re-provisioned as follows ##72786# or ##SCRTN# the phone may restart twice, after the restarts, launch a browser and type in your phone number on the prompt."
After following this, when I opened the browser I was not prompted to input anything I was only greeted with a connection error. :crying:
I am still searching for more answers. I am exploring ##DATA# but there is more in here than I am familiar with so I will hold of on this until I know what I am doing.
In the mean time 3G works so I am still able to use my phone just wish I could tether my 4G to my laptop.
Any other ideas are more than welcome.

Tha'ts weird, I just checked mine and it says global network. I switched it toe CDMA LTE and it works. Even sent a test text message to the wife phone and have no issues.. O here might be the issue. If you go to ##3282# under view then advance, see if LTE is enabled or disabled.. If it is enabled then I bet that is why you do not get 4G service.. I believe LTE does not have 4G service just 3G.. I have done this and my 4G went to 3G after enableing it.. If you have it disabled you will get 4G service..

5. BEFORE REBOOTING OUT OF RECOVERY, Flash latest sprint radios
6. Reboot phone one last time
This has made 4G data work for me.
Im in the car right now, will try to remember to post a link to the latest radios. And PRL Updates. Those are nice to have too.

It just started today. Im on CM10 and i would occasionally lose a 4g connection and would have to swtich the mode from lte/whatever/whatever to the other mode...and then back to reconnect..but thats not working anymore....
Edit: This is killing me because I use it for home internet. Im paranoid simply because this is the first month ive used 4G ever...meaning i never even turned lte mode on in the mobile data settings..i didnt even know it was in my area until the beginning of this month.. Im just wondering if me toggling it on and off to get it to connect through CM10 caused this... Thats why im coming here..to smarter people then myself begging and pleaing for assistance and guidance.
Could it perhaps be that sprint was just testing my area for 4g?? OR how long does tower maintenance usually take.. Or that they cut me off from using 4g after using 30gb so far? I mean i have an unlimited plan so it shouldnt be an issue
No they didnt cut you off, they would send a letter before doing that
Second, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for maintenance to complete on a tower. If you're really concerned, call Sprint and ask if they're in the process of upgrading towers in your area. Who knows, they might even give you some sort of "we're sorry for the inconvenience" credit

Im eyeballing this thread like a hawk for opinions and posts like this. Thanks for your input.
When I first used 4G It was actually by accident on the CM10.1 Nightly. I pressed the Mobile data toggle square in the settings and i saw 4g, I was thrilled that it was in my area. Switched back to stable CM10 and checked if it was up and running. and much to my surprise it wasnt some weird graphical error just showing the 4g icon. It was legit working.
Still isnt working on any rom ive flashed here. Now though since the issue began.
What are the chances in the short time ive used it, that i could have possibly damaged my phones abaility to connect to 4G? Sorry if that question is dumb.
Very little. I doubt that its a hardware issue, because if it were, you would see other things like core apps FCing, the other radios taking longer to connect, maybe even hot reboots when trying to turn on 4G
Like I said, when you have time call Sprint. Most likely the towers are being worked on and they turned it off meanwhile
You might wanna also wanna get Sensorly (from the Play Store) just to doublecheck for LTE in your area

When 4G lte came on in my area it was on for a couple of weeks then they shut it down for 4 or 5 days then it came on and it's been on for almost 3 months. Just fyi this might be what's going on.

Wow thanks guys, you have put my mind at ease about all this. I was just so paranoid that I had specifically done something to the radio. So ill make a call to sprint to see whats up.
Thanks given to all !

I'm experiencing the similar issues, though I flashed over a ASOP Rom that has parts from cm10.1 though the Rom was ported from Verizon, but 4g worked perfectly fine, then when I flashed back to cm10 it stopped working. I'm debating on flashing back to that rom and see if it also does not have access to 4g at this time.
Edit/Update: I flashed back to my stock rom with root then flashed an updated MA6 Rom, updated the PRL, Profile and such, still no 4G. Decided that I'd mess with a few 4g settings, still problems. Then I flashed back to CM10 and my 4G works again.

Do that and post the results here, i will do the same. Sprint was less then helpful with this situation not giving me heads or tails over the phone.

Right before you posted your reply I had updated my post.

I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947
odex MA6, MA6 firmware and Stock MA6 kernel
and I accessed the LTE Mode Menu from the following

I don't think the LTE Mode menu needs to be utlized but I did see some interesting settings in there.

Thats a bit of work, so this could possibly be some janky setting on my phone still huh?
EDIT: I dont have my stock rom backed up. Dont know what happened to it. Could you explain what exactly I need to do to achieve the results you have posted man?
Sorry for the late reply. It could possibly be a setting on your phone. I say make a backup of your rom, flash a stock based rom, kernel & firmware, if it's not ma6 find an update or one based on it. Update the prl and profile. See if you can get 4g working on tw, if not then either restore back to cm10 or try messing with the lte settings, their are some that allow you to enable or disable and such. I also do recall a setting for ehpd 4g or lte 4G. After messing with them try restoring back to cm10. If you take a picture of the lte menu I can look and tell you what settings I clicked.
Edit: Just looked at the link try the lte force cause I know I pushed that button as well as a few others.

I'm looking through the forums and so far the only stock with root only is what I linked above but those are mianly updates. One Possibility if its not a problem I'd sugged Unrooting with odin and flashing a stock rom, reroot then flash the update linked above, then just make a Backup Called Stock with root MA6 or something. I'll keep looking though.

Unrooted, stocked it up. 4g didnt work. Re rooted..installed cm10 stable 4g worked. Seems like a consistent fix for this bug. Solved.

I just had this issue after flashing that Rootbox ROM which was ported from Verizon. I performed the above steps and everything's working fine.
THANKS!
