OK, I know there are other threads about this, but when I read them I feel like it's for people that messed up other things that they shouldn't have, and I don't believe I'm in that group. Let's start with some basics:
- I have never used a NANDROID backup that wasn't from my own phone
- I ran grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0 and I still have my keys
- The only radio I've ever flashed was from Cyanogen based on the instructions from his wiki, and I don't think that messes anything up
I've tried flashing Fresh and Warm ROMs from both Clockwork and Amon, and I've tried both more than once, just in case there was an error. I turn 4G on and it says it's scanning, but nothing connects. I happen to know that I'm about 3 blocks from a Wimax tower, so there's no way I wouldn't be getting a signal. I've read through several other pages that people refer to but none of them seem to apply. It's always for people who don't have keys or who are having problems different from my own.
I apologize in advance if I missed something, and I know I could probably read all night, but I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what I can try to get my 4G radio working again.
Thanks!
UPDATE: OK, I was ready to go back to stock in utter desperation to see if something would fix itself, but I FINALLY got it to work. Here are the steps to follow if anyone else encounters this problem...
1) Make sure 4G is off
2) Open Root Explorer and go into /data/misc/wimax and rename the field there (xxxxxxxxxx.tree.xml where the xxx... is your 4G MAC address) to add .old at the end
3) Go into Settings -> System Updates -> Update profile
4) When that is complete, reset the phone (this may not be necessary, but... why not?)
5) Now turn on 4G and it should recreate the .xml file and be running smoothly
I had heard the tip about deleting the XML file, but nobody told me about updating the profile or anything along with that step. Hope this helps.
UPDATE 2: Now it's not working again. It was just sitting there, working fine one minute, and now it doesn't work again.
FYI, I also have checked to see that my MAC address is correct, and I recreated my tree.xml file. My MAC address is just fine, but still no connectivity. My coworker with an EVO right next to me gets 4G here, so I know I should have a signal.
I just updated my profile (can't believe I didn't think of that before), but that didn't work either. I can't find anything that is in error to fix!!!

What radio did you flash? And not sure if it has anything to do with wimax. Did you try to reflash the stock radio 2.15?

EDIT: Nevermind... it worked for a bit, I even used some data across that network, and now it's borked again.
I flashed the radio that is on this page, but on second view, I think that's just to upgrade people that were on a lower version of the radio. GRRR!!!! Should I try reflashing the stock radio? Would that help?
I keep getting it to turn back on by mixtures of deleting that .xml file and resetting my profile, but it absolutely will not stay. Any ideas?
I am experiencing this issue and have been searching for a week trying to find a solution if you guys found one or if anyone knows of one please please please let me know!!
What am I missing?!?!
Hopefully someone can help me here. My problem is I cannot connect to wimax. So I tried to check to see what wimax version I have so I tried using Android Terminal Emulator as someone else posted. Well I did and it turns out that I am missing something...not sure what though. Here is a screen shot of the Emulator.

Ok i have read through almost every page on here and can't find anything, so if ive missed something please direct me to the right sport. I have an evo currently running "Kings Sense GB TWO POINT THREE V2" i have tried about 30 different roms, and have even gone back to stock. I have hardware version 0003 and hboot 2.10 if that matters, I have my wimax keys, i have updated my profile countless times, i have deleted the xml wimax file and updated it to replace it, i am in a great 4g area, i have updated my radios and am about to put a bullet in my brain. Any help that anyone could give would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Update: My Wimax radio would not ever update from any zip files, i had to do it through a PC36IMG. Thanks for your help guys.
Make sure WiFi is disabled. Disable 4G from the settings menu Ans not from a widget. Shut down your device. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot to your homescreen. Go into the settings menu and select 4G. Also make sure Mobile Data is checked.

ok ive done that, and i tried it on two different roms and even restored to a backup that i had that i knew that 4g worked on and it still does the same thing
How about Wimax key checker ? Get one and test your key's...
Flash a rooted ODEXED 3.70 stock rom, update your profile from the settings menu and then call Sprint. They may be able to troubleshoot your problem from their end.

i think i may have found the problem, but im not sure ive tried to flash different wimax radios and i checked and it hasn't been changing the radio its still on 25043 would that make it not work?

Shouldn't matter. And how are you checking your wimax radio version? I'm sure if you flashed it, it's updated. You can't see your wimax version from any menus, it requires some adb command to check, if memory serves me correctly. I would do as someone already suggested first, and download the wimax key checker from the market. The dev on the app is JoeyKrim. If you have your RSA keys, and you're still not connecting, then before you troubleshoot any further, I would call Sprint and make sure there's not a 4g outtage in your area. The one time my 4g broke, I spent hours and hours troubleshooting. Then I drove a few miles away, and 4g worked. It was down in my area for about 2 weeks, for whatever reason. If you can't connect in any other 4g areas, and Sprint says there are no problems with 4g in your area, then continue troubleshooting.
make sure if you are on a custom kernel thats not the problem

Before flashing RLS 5, what rom did you have installed? If it was the stock rom, did it have software version 3.70? If not, you may need to flash the wimax update from Calkulin's thread. I don't have the link handy.

Last rom I flashed was cm7.0.2. I'll try Calkulin's wimax update..hopefully this works. Thanks for the reply.

My rooting went horribly wrong.
I admit, I rushed it, was sleep deprived, and inpatient.
Right now, my phone looks very much like stock BUT
My issue is: I have no provider set on my phone. In other words, its as if my phone is unable to connect to Sprint's network.

When I try to update the PRL from system updates, below is the result...

Litening_Rom_v6-1.rar
acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar
EG30-Stock-OdexV2.zip
Stock-EG30.tar
Also tried calling sprint customer support...no help
At this point, what would be the fastest way to get my phone into a state in which it is once again recognized by Sprint
I don't think a prl update will populate the baseband version.
Have you tried starting over by flashing Stock-EG30.tar ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 ) and then doing a factory reset?
After that, update both your profile and prl.
By the way...
some of the files you listed appear to be for the i9100. Despite the similar naming convention, the Epic Touch (D710) is different from the i9100 and cannot directly re-use i9100 roms, kernels, etc.
which rom should i be using?

I'm thinking you hosed your modem. The first three things you mentioned in the list you tried are, as was pointed out, for the International version. By flashing these you've put the wrong radio into your phone.
This thread has a link to a modem.bin download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17617227
Search the Dev thread (sorry, on my phone so I can't come up with the link) on how to flash it. Once you do that, flash "stock kernel pulled from unrooted phone" (you'll see a link to it in the thread I just gave you). Then I think you'll be ok.
And, even though it's the same basic phone, ONLY flash stuff you find in this forum.
.....
Why are all these people flashing things from another phone? Thyself like the first rule of flashing. Flash the eg30 tar and then the eg30 modem.bin for your baseband. Thy should fix it. Good luck.

Did you flash the gapps from the pa thread? You have to have those for all that stuff to work. Make sure its the PA gapps because they've made some changes to them, somehow.

I'm not sure then, you might have to reflash everything. I don't know what else to try. I've never had that particular issue. Was it a dirty flash over another version? I'd make a backup, do a clean install, and see if the problem is still there. Worst case, if it is still there, you can restore your backup. If not, then maybe the install had a brain fart. Have you tried reflashing PA and gapps and wipe cache and dalvik on this install? (Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm half asleep)
It doesnt look like you are connected to any network at all. Your wifi and signal icons are greyed out. Thats why you are getting that message.

Does it go online with a cellular connection or just wifi? Check Settings>About Phone>Status>IMEI and see what the number is. I don't know why, but that was the first thing I though when I reread this thread is that maybe you've had your EFS partition wiped. I "think" if it's a real IMEI it will start with a 3, but a generic unusable one will start with a 1. I don't know if that would affect Google Connection, but it might.
Also, have you tried redownloading the ROM and GAPPS?
Did you set correct Date & Time settings? Cuz it's important to log in GG account.

Hey guys,
Love XDA, I just rooted and Flashed Cyangenmod 10.2 on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2 and am having a few issues and have no idea how to fix them.
1. Phone calls seem to work through the network just fine but data does not. this means no mobile internet etc do i need to download a virgin mobile software pack or something?
2. Camera is funky in a few ways, crashes on load most times. Colors are way off. Again is there a software solution?
Any helps is appreciated
Cheers

I then installed the VM fix in the link so now I'm back on track with both MMS and (Voicemail which I hadn't even thought of yet).
However I'm still having trouble with the internet on my phone data plan I've tried 3 different browsers all fail to connect.
As for the camera, both Focal and Camera software are crashing heavily.
Try flashing this 3g fix for alternative carriers. I always use it for CM and it's universal. https://db.tt/zKeL0ffq

Check the md5sum of your ROM zip compared to the one on the download page, if they don't match you have a bad download. I'm thinking this is probably your problem.
So I looked up md5sum but am not sure what it is or how to check it, can you elaborate? Is there a programme I need? You mentioned I may have a bad download so is that an issue with the link that was posted or is there a way to fix the md5sum so that I can download it from that link and get a working copy.
Bare with me I'm a noob.
Download md5sum Checker from the Play Store, it's how you tell if the file you downloaded is the same as the one the dev uploaded. If your md5sum doesn't match you'll need to redownload until it does. That it's why it's recommended you download onto a PC.
The first files I downloaded were all onto a PC first then onto the Galaxy S2. I've attached a screenshot of the md5 checker just to make sure I'm using it right. When I get home tonight I'll try download a batch of the files and see if I can get 1 to hit. I also tried downloading the file from another source and install but no luck.

You've got the first part right, now the dev or download site should provide an md5 to compare that to, the one in the pic below is an example, it's the download page to my ROM. Notice the md5 in the middle? That is what you're comparing your file to.

I would be so grateful if someone more knowledgeable than I helps me troubleshoot this issue.
I bought a used Nexus 5x yesterday, everything worked fine and it was all stock, i checked my sim card and it worked on the phone.
I took it home unlocked the phone and installed a custom ROM, somehow In the process I seem to have done something that has made it so the phone cannot connect to my mobile network. It seems to be able to see the mobile network [ imgur.com/IdpFg0O ] but not connect [ imgur.com/5edM5G6 ]. The phones APN setting [ imgur.com/5J1Ixoy ] appear to match the information provided on various websites.
The SIM status page [ imgur.com/WGWnqSM ] might give some indication as to what the problem is. It lists the network as "unknown" and the service state as "out of service" and mobile network state as "disconnected."
What I have already tried:
Restarted the phone

Reflashed the same custom ROM

Reflashed the Stock ROM
Could I have maybe somehow screwed up the /EFS partition when I was wiping or installing the new ROM?
I dont really know what else to do to troubleshoot or try to fix the problem. I would be sooo sooo grateful if anyone more knowledgeable than I am could help me troubleshoot this issue, there doesn't seem to be much information out there about this problem. I really don't want to have bricked my phone the day after I bought it, so please, if you can offer any assistance helping me understand and diagnose the problem, I would be so grateful!

All rooms require a specific version of radio.img make sure you have the right one otherwise you'll have problems like that check out in the xda thread of your rom what version it requires and then download the factory image and flash the radio.img with fastboot
Hi kastik4,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time to lend a little help.
So if I understand you correctly what you are saying is that each specific ROM has its own radio.img and that a mismatch could potentially be causing my problem?
If so, I'm not sure if this is the problem as one of the troubleshootings steps i've taken is trying to go back to the stock factory ROM following Googles instructions and (I believe) flashing the stock radio.img. However, it is entirely possible that I did something incorrectly in this process so I think I will try to redo the process and make sure I got everything right tomorrow.
Any other ideas as to what could be the issue?
@local5x: you wrote, that you reflashed stock ROM. If you did it via flashall.bat (means you lost /data and root) and error persists, probably your hardware is gone.
Messed efs you can detect easily: IMEI shown in settings and on your contract, must be identical.
Generally is the newest radio-image fine. @kastik4's advice is mostly overdressed.
Hey, did you solve your issue or you still need some help?

No, I did not solve the problem. I got a cheap phone in the meantime, but haven't been able to figure anything out with the 5x. Maybe it is a hardware issue, IDK, and I dont really know where else to go in terms of troubleshooting, I'm sorta in over my head here. I wish I could narrow down the problem though, even If it is just to find out that it is a hardware problem and I'm screwed at least I would have a little clarity/closure.
hello I have the same problem my phone says no service and only emergency calls, I followed some solutions nothing yet. I would like to find a solution since it does not detect the available networks
