Guys, having a serious problem here to connect 4g network. I m working at Dallas, TX, where 4g network is available. Here is what happened.
I flashed the latest radio updates, 2.15.00.09.01 (not combination version, just radio), then I used HBoot way to update PRI to 1.77_003. Then problem showed. when I tried to connect 4G, the status looping in "turning on...scanning(in 1,2 secs)...turning off...turning on....". I started to ask questions in here and central. Meanwhile, I downgrade to 1.34_003 since there is no solution. But, strangely, the same problem showed(i pretty sure that 4g works on the 1.34_003 before).
Tonight, I heard Fresh 3.3.0.1 out, so I flashed at the first time(wipe cache & Dalvik, no data wipe yet), also flashed flipz radio zip file to 1.77_003, problem is still on. On the other hand, someone from android central suggest to delete wimax.tree.xml, i did, still no fix.
At the last and now, I wipe everything, partition sdcard, flashed fresh 3.3.0.1, then downgrade to 1.34_003. When I tried to connect 4g, at the very first time, after half-min, the status shows "unable to start 4g", if i try to connect again, the status will be in the "turning on..." forever, i have to reboot to stop it, after reboot, the status of 4g network shows "failure". I did PRI "OTA" updates (##786# Way) to 1.40_003, same situation. Now, I m really afraid I broke something, and brick my 4g connection.
anyone can give some help here?
Updates:
I flashed WiMax again this morning, suprisingly, 4g status finally starts with "turning on... --> Scanning ---> Connecting to Sprint ---> Scanning". Unfortunately, it still cannot connect successfully. I tried to delete tree.xml, still doesn't work.
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!
I partially solved my issue in another thread, but still cannot connect to 4g. I had initially thought my RSA key was gone, but was able to find it in an old nandroid and reflash it. KeyChecker now says my Key is Ok. I verified my MAC address is correct and have flashed the most recent wimax radio. I have also updated my profile and prl. However, I still cannot connect to 4G. I was in Minneapolis in a strong 4g area and turned on the 4g. It turns on, scans, says connecting to sprint, and then quickly returns back to scanning, finds sprint, tries to connect, then scans again. I tried this is multiple spots all over the city but still couldn't connect. I am running Fresh 3.5 with the stock kernel and have connected to 4g in the past prior to temporarily losing my keys. I have flashed different sense and aosp roms with the same result. Someone please help! I am stuck! I would like avoid unrooting if at all possible, but will if that is a last resort.
I would call Sprint tech support and see if they could do anything from their end. You can try changing kernels or flashing a rooted stock rom to see if the problem gets corrected. For a rooted stock rom, download this and flash from recovery after doing a full wipe. Make a nandroid backup of your current setup first.

OK, Sprint was no help. As of now, my wimax key is intact and Mac address correct. If I am on Fresh rom 3.5 and turn on 4g in a solid 4g area, it turns on, scans, finds Sprint, then disconnects, over and over, never really connecting. Any other Rom I have tried, both sense and aosp, 4g won't even turn on, it just gets stuck at "turning on". I have also tried different kernels. I don't know what else to do. I upgraded my radios and profiles, would downgrading do anything?

I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Every since yesterday afternoon, I can't connect to 4G. It scans...connecting to Sprint.....scanning..etc. I never lost my keys though.

Same exact thing here. Took me hours to figure it out but here's what I did..total pain in the arse! I basically updated radios in succession. I loaded an old Sprintlovers PC36IMG.zip that had all the old radios (pri 1.77). After that I updated radios again, pri 1.90. Loaded up my Dark EVO 2.2 ROM, made sure 4G was working. Then while in recovery I flashed Caulkins .zip with all of the newest radios, loaded CM7, loaded GAPPS and BAM...everything is working great....total pain and probably a lot of unnecessary steps, but it worked!
As an update, I ran wimax_ mtd in terminal and it ran through fine, everything passed and was OK, except next to "check firmware file" it says not match and next to "verify app fireware key" it says not match. Any ideas what that means?? Can you give me exact details with file links to how you fixed yours?

ok so I have tried to connect to 4g in my area where everyone else is able to connect. I flashed the most recent radios, wimax, pri, and nv. I have also verified that i have my rsa key using the app wimax key checker. However when ever i try to connect the phone says connecting and then disconnects right away. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?
running: cm7 stable release with tiamat kernel
I have also tried flashing back to a sense rom updated the profile and prl and then did a data restore with ##3282# and still no luck
how were you able to flash the newest radios? every time i tried it said something about operation aborted due to .... bla bla bla. i'm not sure why it wouldnt

I had a similar problem with the DECK ROM. I had to wipe and reload and it has worked normally ever since.

I'm guessing you were using Clockwork and it was talking about the zip being unsupported etc etc. Use RA and you should be fine.
thank you for suggestion i wil try to reflash my rom and start from stratch and report back if that helps......has anyone had any problems with the most recent wimax radios?
So my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Hello.....did that work for ya?

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Did he try updating his profile & prl
Sent from my criffvo
Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

i know this post is somewhat old. but Making a back up wont take hardly and extra time! always always make one unless you have 100% reliable roms already backed up.
