Wifi connects, but no internet (multiple ROMs) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I was using BakedSnack and everything worked fine. Switched to Fresh and everything worked fine. I did SOMETHING, though. No idea what. But my wifi isn't working correctly. I can connect to different networks, but there's no internet connection. I can connect fine though 3G/2G. But anytime I use wifi...no internet.
I flashed back to BakedSnack from a nandroid backup and wifi worked. Tried flashing CM6 on top of that and...boom...no more wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas?

and you have done a complete wipe? not just cache?
start with the stock 2.2 odex or deodex rom....
are you using clockwork or amon ra recovery?
if you are restoring everything with titanium bqck up after you flash then stop it....

+1 on the titanium issue. Titanium can create a lot of trouble if used for more than just apps, and some system things, if done very selectively. When 2.2 first dropped, people were flashing to 2.2, then restoring all kinds of stuff from Android 2.1, creating much havoc.

Yeah, I'm wiping cache, data, and davlick cache every time. As soon as I boot into CM6 from a working version of bakedsnack, I try connecting via wifi with no luck. I updated the radios last night on both (I have no idea if that would have helped or not. just a desperation move). Wifi worked no matter what on bakedsnack, before and after. On CM6 it didn't matter what I did.
I'm using clockwork recovery. I haven't touched titanium (I could never really utilize it when I was switching between a Sense ROM and a non-Sense. Never knew what I should omit from my restore process).

Switched to Amon recovery to see if that made a difference. No luck yet. (bump)

Flash a stock rooted rom and test your luck. If it still doesn't work after wiping + cache + dalvik then there is something wrong with your phone.

I'm trying to flash a stock ROM now, but I keep getting an error:
"write_raw_image PACKAGE...." installation aborted. something like that.
Limited research appears to indicate that the stock ROM is too big for my boot partition or somesuch.
I can install CM6 all day long. I can nandroid restore anything.

I don't know if this is relevant or not...trying to research. but my hboot version is 0.76.2000. I'm running all the latest radios/wimax.

You might try looking at your firmware settings in both a rom that wifi works and one where it doesn't.

Don't know how you could have inadvertently changed these but, who knows.

Try this in a terminal emulator
/ $ getprop persist.wimax.fw.version
That value should not change between ROMs.
Alogcat from market will display the status messages generated while you try to get on wifi. Start Alogcat then tap home tap wifi, tap home resume Alogcat select logs... look for red.

Thanks for the tips, willy. I'll try these out later today after work or if things slow down.
I did have some progress, though. I was able to get wifi to work on the Fresh ROM. I had installed a "wiredtetherfix" from the Wired Tether for Evo is working/patched thread. That fixed my wired tether, but evidently broke the wifi. So applying his "wiredtetherrestore" fix got my wifi working again. Unfortunately, a fresh install of CM6 from that piont (with full wipes beforehand) didn't cure wifi for that ROM. That's the one I want most, CM6, so I can go back to a faster ROM that had all the tethering apps as native applications.

On FreshROM the wimax fw version is: 4.6.2.2v26023_
Will update later with CM6 wimax version.

Okay, I flashed CM6 again and tried to pull the wimax fw version. There is no wimax on CM6, though. I think that's the problem, anyway. When I run the command, nothing happens. When I run wimax_mtd, it says "not found."

[Q] Intermittent Data

I have never had this issue with any roms before.
I had been running Fresh Rom 3.1.0.2 or whatever, and recently upgraded to Fresh Rom 3.2
I made sure to wipe everything before installing this rom and now i have weird data issues no matter what rom i use
data works randomly no matter what signal strength i have with the market, signing into google, etc. ( i get network error messages loading market things saying i need to retry even though my browser works )
I have cleared everything many times trying different roms and updating my PRL and Profile also.
Most of the time my data arrows only show uploading too.
I am thinking about going and RUU to 2.1 or whatever and re rooting but which do i use? the PC36IMG.zip or RUU something? a little confused here.
i just wanna go back to stock everything to wipe everything and start fresh to make sure everything is fine.
Thanks!!
I've been having the same issue. A hard reset has fixed the problem, for today at least.

as far as hard reset, what are you referring to? powering off and pulling the battery? or what?
thanks!
I have been having the same issues. I just used the newest rooting method for 2.2 the other day. My web browsing and email pushes are fine but anything related to google (market, maps, signing in) fail out. I just tried wiping cache and it seems to work for now. It is extremely annoying.

[Q] Help please!! anyone.

Trying to install Vaelpak 3.0 and I am having 1 hell of a time. I'm thinking it has something to do with my radio wimax pri nv ect.... because earlier in the week I tried flashing the combo and everything went to hell on my phone. I since then had to flash back to the previous radio and then had vp 2.3 running fine again. After that I learned that it was kernel specific problems with older HTC kernels so I flashed netarchy's and then went back to the radio combo and had this problem with my CPU load at 100% and always running at near 1ghz. Then I learned if your rom is not based on the 3.3 that the newest PRL with continue to overload your CPU the entire time. I hadn't gotten this problem really fixed by the time I found VP 3.0 and figured flashing this would just fix my problem with the newest PRI because its based on the 3.3 update.
After a full wipe (data, 2x cache, 2x dalvik) I flashed 3.0 only to get stuck in a white screen boot loop. So I DLed the file from another link moved it manually to my SD and flashed that... same problem. Then I decided I would restore my 2.3 through RA install rom manager and change my recovery over to clockwork to try to install the rom. No go. Then I flashed a previous version of 2.1 used rom manager to put RA back on (I've found this more reliable but at this point who the hell knows). Went into recovery and restored my backup made as of this friday. Still having the problems with the CPU load so I went back to recovery and flashed the older radio combo but noticed this doesn't have NV on it(not sure what NV is either). But all seemed to be working fine for moment until 2.3 started randomly restarting on me. So now my 2.3 isn't working and can't get 3.0 to flash.
Next thing I thought to do was to wipe all again flash 3.0 and then flash netarchy's kernel over the htc #15. BAM!! I get it to run through the boot into the set up menu asking for my gmail account. I enter my account info and wait, wait, wait, then it says cannot get reliable connection to google servers (also I notice that my data instead of a 3g icon says EvDo). Well now this can't be good. I try to turn on my wifi it says that wifi cannot perform search. I enter my network manually cannot find network. I've tried updated profile pri and everything else from settings and always get same error with communications saying call sprint(don't wanna do this will immediately void my warranty I'm thinking). Now the last thing left for me to check is if I can get 2.3 up again and check my wifi ect... through that.
Wipe, Wipe, Wipe, flash older radio combo, flash previous NV that wasn't in combo as far as I could tell, restore 2.3. All seems to be going well until I try my wifi. Cannot search again. WTF?? then instantly black screen to no where. Pull battery try again, get into the settings and then black screen back to Vaelpak boot animation. I am completely lost here I could really use some help. Like I said in the beginning I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the radios combo ect... but can't figure it out on my own.
Well in case this has happened to anyone else and it is likely to happen somewhere down the road from people upgrading to roms based of the 3.7 update. The quickest fix I found was.
1. DL Unrevoked Forever from web page and flash it
2. Find a stock ruu for the 3.7 or do what I did and just DL Sprint Lovers PC36IMG.zip place in root of SD card and boot into hboot. Install the ruu.
3. Go to settings>software updates and update the PRI and the Profile
4. Remove the PC36IMG.zip from root of your SD card
5.(only applicable if you used the stock ruu) take your recovery of choice name it PC36IMG.zip and place in root of SD card. Boot into HBoot and install
then remove that from root as well.
6. Flash the Rom you were wanting to flash. This will take care of all Radio, Wimax, PRI, NV, and other problems between 3.7 based roms, Kernels and Radios.
Hopes this helps someone along the way.

[Q] Flashed Myn's Warm 2.2 (RLS 5), 4G radio not working

I flashed the ROM a few nights ago and followed the instructions regarding flashing the new Radio pack but after noticing that 4G just wouldn't turn on I tried going back into recovery and flashing the .zip again. Still didn't work.
Eventually I restored the previous backup because of an unrelated data-loss incident. I restored the backup I made of Warm and tried re-flashing the radio .zip but it still wont work, anyone care to point out what I'm doing wrong?
I've tried searching the ROM's thread but "4g" must not be long enough to search for, and "radio" yielded no help either. I would've posted this there but evidently I need 10 posts before I can post to the Dev forum(A new rule?).
Thanks for reading!
What's your phone information(build,kernel,hboot)?
I thought that stuff was controlled by the ROM developer. It's on HTC kernel 15, build is warm 2.2 RLS 5.

As it turns out, last night I was able to turn 4g on, but I'm no longer able to do it now. Anyone know what's up?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had the exact same problem as you. This just happened out of nowhere which is even more weird. The rom was working fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped allowing me to turn on 4g. I get the scanning then disconnect really quick. Or I get turning on and turning off over and over again. It shows really quick.
What I did was I flashed back to stock with an old nandroid. I went to a area without 4g and tried to let it connect. Of course it couldn't. I then updated my profile 4 times. I flashed back to another rom and it is working again. Still a little buggy but way better than not being able to connect at all.

Did you go back to Warm? And what profiles are you talking about exactly, and what does that do? I like this fRom a lot so I'd hate to have to switch.

I have been bouncing back and forth between his and mikfroyo. You go into settings and go to system updates and update profile. When it's done hit ok. Do that a few times and restart the phone. See if that works. It took me days to get mine working again. I think it was from flashing from rom to rom all the time and updating and upgrading the radio's that caused the problem. I don't think it's his rom that is causing it in my case at least. Good luck
My standard process when flashing roms and kernels has always been and will be when im done with the flashing . Setup widgets and where I want them , apps , general settings etc etc etc . Then perform Update Profile followed by Update PRL . When those processes are done I usually let the phone settle down some then do a reboot . Again let the phone settle down from the reboot . Then check your 4G connection it should work . My only advice is to stick with roms running off the newest radios . That way you cut out flashing radios causing possible issues with 4G .
So i am having issues with this ROM and was wondering if anyone is having the same issue. Well i see that my awake and run time are the same and spare parts is showing 100% usage on the CPU.
ive tried using all the different kernels to no success.
any help would be appreciated.
Myn's warm 2.2 RLS 5
updated radios
kings 11
I've installed Myn and my 4G doesn't work. It switches between on and off really fast and then sometimes it'll go further and scan, connect, disconnect, and repeat.
Specs: myn's warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5)
Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel: 2.6.32.25-netrarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version 60674
NOTE!! I've already checked if my RSA keys have been lost and they haven't.
Any tips would be grateful, I'm going to flash Fresh tonight and hopefully it works.
Jj, and SouthernEvo, thanks for the tips! I cracked the glass on my phone and just got a replacement, when I flashed the radios I didn't get the images the dev said I would: "While the radios are flashing you'll see a little green arrow phone icon for a bit afterwords, Wait on this. You will then automatically be taken back to recovery."
If this time around it doesn't work again I guess I'll try flashing a re-downloaded Radio package!
running_onCode, seems that we might be having the same issues, did you notice anything strange while flashing the radio package? Like I said on this second Evo, when I flashed it I paid attention and didn't get any green exclamation points.
I have this problem as well. I've used the app that checks for the RSA keys and it says I'm good. I've also checked via a console app.
What happens is exactly like everyone else here. Once the WiMax radio is turned on it'll scan for 3-5 seconds, then it says connecting to Sprint for about .5 seconds, then it says disconnect, and repeats. I've flashed and reflashed with the latest radio pack at the top here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . I did that so I could run Myn's Wyrm RLS5. H boot has not been flahed ( think I have a really old version). I've tried different ROMs and there is no difference. I tried going back to my previous ROM and it still didn't work. I tried updating Profile and PRL 5x and doing a shutdown>reboot and there was no change. Any help would be great.

Yeah, it seems like we do have the same issue. I'll flash Myn's rom when there is a fix for the 4G or maybe it's just our phones? I got tired of waiting so I flashed MikFroyo and everything is working. I was using 4G a couple minutes after leaving my house yesterday.
Yeah I'm thinking of just flashing another ROM, can't get much help without posting to the ROM thread itself and I guess I can't do that anymore!
It's too bad though, the first time around I had amazing battery life, but this time it's a lot worse
Are you using Titanium Backup? I had the same problem when I used TB, I would wipe everything, flash Myn's rom and them restore all my apps using TB and 4g would not turn on at all, RSA keys were intact but no 4g. I actually did a Nand backup before running TB and after using TB and trying to restore Nand 4g still would not work!
It actually took a while before I figured out it was TB borking the 4g (3-4 installs and reboots). I had to write down all my backed up apps and download them one by one
Hope this helps!

As a matter of fact I am using Titanium! So I should flash the rom and install the apps one by one or what? That's not really something I'm looking forward to

I doubt it is titanium, I had the same problems with RLS 5 not getting 4g. Have used titanium on Calks, Mik, and Azrael without having 4g scanning / disconnecting issues. There was a fix for this a couple weeks ago, somewhere. Too much for me so I moved on. Ricsim said that battery life is 97% driven by the kernel, not the Rom.
Bump! Anyone?

[Q] Few questions

Done lots of searching, so if I have missed something, feel free to point me to the thread I've been looking for, thank you!
With Amon RA: I have just flashed Synergy RLS1 with Warm Sprinkles, and decided that's the rom I am gonna stick with for awhile. I have also flashed Lithid's .8 More-Freedom kernel (the universal one, is this the correct one?) and the phone has booted up successfully. Ok sweet.
So now: my 4g is broken, and my sense launcher keeps force closing every time I unlock the phone. Everything else works great! I've tried flashing a few different radios, cleared/wiped all cache and data multiple times. Reflashed Synergy twice now. What am I missing? Most people seem to get great results from the synergy/freedom combo.
You can try to fix permissions with ROM manager or from ra under other/fix mismatch uid or what ever its called.

I am using Golden Monkey1.0 with SynergyRC2 at the moment. Everything is as smooth as butter.
i will try both of those, thank you!
Okay, the Wimax radio powers on now and scans. Says: Connecting to Spring... > Authenticating with Sprint > disconnected > Scanning...
So I figured my phone just wasn't provisioned because of all the rom flashing I have been doing, right? called sprint and everything shows up fine on their network. They want me to take it to the store to fix the issue. Hell. No.

Evo Wifi not working Help!!

i just received the newer evo with hardware 4 and gingerbread installed on it, i rooted the phone using the new root method and installed mikfroyo 4.62, the wifi is not connecting right or wont connect, ive tried at home, school, and a friends house, is there something i can change like wimax, NV, Pri, radios...just throwing stuff out there, but you know what i mean, anything like that, that i can change so wifi will work again??
Have you tried reflashing the rom? Did you install on a clean install?
Did you flash a custom kernel? Sometimes an incompatible kernel will mess with your wifi.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I have a similar issue that just occurred, I've had it working all until last week now any ROM I flash/restore will connect to wifi then immediately disconnect.
Any other thoughts?
same here then I wiped everything two times and flashed synergy RLS1 + godmode 3.0 rom and now its back. So maybe try that and let me know if it works for you or if it just worked for me.
sorry i thought i hit submit message like a weeks back lol, yeah i got it to work, i flashed a different rom and kernal then went back to the rom i like and it worked, weird, something must have not flashed write
