Unable to get 3G on any rom that isn't the latest OTA for sense

My gf got a new evo, HW0004, epson i think (screen clicks to new brightnesses). When I flash anything lower than the latest OTA with sense (3.70.651.1) then 3G doesn't work and the screen looks like a monitor does when the dvi cable is coming unplugged, just vertical. But it screen goes away when i power it off/on. The same issues present themselves using ANY aosp base rom (MIUI, CM, LiquidE).
I've tried kernels, PRI downgrading, nothing changes it. Is anyone experiencing this as well?

I would change it if I could, I just happened to be browsing dev when i posted and put it in the wrong section.
Lovely insightful post though

Try flashing the latest combo (Wipe cache and dalvik first):

While on Sense ROM update your profile and PRL.
Hopefully that would work. Good Luck.

I tried updating the radios, etc, no dice

You tried just running the latest RUU then rerooting?

Well it couldn't hurt and seeing how there is a new unrevoked that works with the most current OTA it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

I've been having the same issue with my evo. I tried flashing the latest radios, flashed back to the latest OTA and updated profile and PRL and neither worked. When I was on the OTA I had 3g even before I did any updating, and as soon as i go back to CM it goes back to 1x. Any other options?

Tonight I upgraded/downgraded PRI, NV, and Radio to no avail. Does anyone know what's going on?

[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?

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.

I tried

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?

Evo Not Sleeping!

My Evo running warm 2.2 rls 5 with nets 4.3.2 cfs sbc nohavs suv stopped sleeping so I decided to just do a full wipe and reflash the rom/kernel. After reflashing I did absolutely nothing to it (no apps installed, etc) to see if it would sleep and waited for an hour or so and still no sleep. Back to recovery, full wipe, flashed rom only, still no sleep! I had calk 1.7.1 on the SD card so I did another full wipe and flashed that and still it won't sleep!! I'm sure it's not some app because no additional apps are installed and i've never had this problem with either rom before. Any ideas what could be causing this? Let me know if more information is needed too!

Could possibly be that your phone doesn't like the PRI you're using. A lot of people had wake lock issues while running the 1.90 PRI, myself included. Downgrading to the 1.77 PRI solved that issue for me right away. I would suggest trying that, if you are indeed on the 1.90 PRI. If you're on 1.77 already, maybe try changing to 1.90. Just make sure when you're flashing the PRI, that you let it finish completely. Its like a radio flash, where you see some different screens and what not, so don't pull the battery!

install Spare Parts. Wait a day or so, then check the battery history in that app, particularly the partial wake usage.

Prl 1.77 seems to work nicely. 1.9 usually gives issues
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

prl is actually 1.34_003 so i'll have to update that and see if anything changes.
I'm attaching spare parts screenshots for the partial wake...see if that gives anyone ideas until I update the prl.

Even with the updated Prl it won't sleep. Any other ideas of what could be causing this? I'm not quite sure how to read the spare parts screens...nothing looks to be out of the ordinary for to me. Are there any other diagnostics tools i could use to see whats keeping it from sleepin?

I don't use spare parts too much, so I could be wrong. But where it says 'android system', i thought you can tap that, and it will show you a list of things that have been running. Not sure. As for other types of diagnostic and useful apps for this type of thing, you can try SystemPanel, OS Monitor, Watchdog. There are more, but I think those are the most popular. Are you sure you don't have a runaway app? This happens after a complete wipe (data, dalvik cache, cache, flash calkulins format all.zip) without adding any apps to the ROM? Just the apps that came loaded up with the ROM? Are you logged into facebook, and have it syncing a lot? If it syncs every hour, that could be a part of your problem.

I've reflashed roms and then simply skipped through all the setup screens and then locked the screen and just let it sit for over an hours and it would not sleep so I'm fairly sure it's not a run away app

Weird. When did this start happening? Any notable time?(any changes you made around when it started happening?) You already confirmed which PRI you were on, and that you updated that. Have you checked your radio version? Maybe if that is also old, as your PRI was prior, then the PRI and the radio aren't jiving. I would make sure that all your radios are updated at this point. All Evo radios, wimax versions, pri's, and nv's are on this page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . You can flash a combo if you want, and flash them all at the same time. If it still does it after making sure that all your radios are updated, and you are using a rom with the latest 3.70 software, then I am at a loss and I apologize. Up to date radios, a clean install of a ROM after a COMPLETE wipe should yield an Evo that sleeps like a rock.

Sleep issue fixed!

Downgrading the PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 resolved my rooted EVO not sleeping issue. I am using the stock 2.2 ROM rooted with unrevoked.

Sleep issue also fixed
Hey,
Just wanted to say I was also having the issue about my EVO 4g not sleeping. I'd unrooted and then re-rooted my phone, and noticed my up time and awake time were the same. Downgraded to 1.77 and immediately my phone slept.
Back down to <10% awake time (thank GOODNESS) lol.
Preciate ya!
I would thank ya, but I can't...yet lol

Sorry, I'm a total noob, what exactly does sleep mean for a phone cause I'm having issues with my evo too with no battery life and I'm running on Myn r. 5

[Q] Can't receive texts after last Thursdays radio update

EDIT: Problem Solved
Downloaded Stock Sense 2.2 from here, flashed into that, Reset Data Connection in EPST (Like Here), rebooted and flashed back to CM7. Simple as that!
I realize this may be a bit of repeat thread, But I haven't really got an answer yet.
For reference: I'm running Cm7
Sometime during the day last Thursday, I lost the ability to receive texts. I can send texts, as well as make/receive calls, and data works fine as well. I just can't send them.
Things I've tried include:
Flashing to Stock Sense 2.3
Updating PRL/Profile
Manually installing Radio/PRL/Profile updates
Flashing to a fresh CM7 Install
I also feel like I should add that I tried to open EPST to reset data, but when I enter the code(##3282#) in Phone I get nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll be on until late tonight as to not keep responders waiting. Thanks.

Go to stock rooted 2.2 or MikG or a custom ROM with the old EPST, the new EPST features less. I just do it on stock 2.2 to avoid any problems when doing the restore. My radios are working, did you flash them individually?

Okay
Downloading MikG right now, going to give that a try.
And I think that may be part of my problem, I just can't get the radio to update. I've attempted to install them as a combo, and separately in both ClockworkMod and Amon_RA several times. I never get any error messages, it just installs, and tells me to reboot, but nothing ever changes.
That's why I'm going to try to Reset Data in EPST. I had heard elsewhere that my MSL doesn't match what Sprint has on file, or something like that, and that resetting data should fix this.
Anyway, Thanks a lot, I'll be back in 10-15 minutes with results!

Partial Success
As soon as Stock 2.2 booted up and got to setup, the texts started pouring in. Not sure what caused this, but it seems at this point like a Gingerbread issue. For good measure I opened EPST and did a data reset and updated PRL/Profile. I'm about to flash back to CM7 and see if the changes carried over.
It worked! It was that simple all along! Thank you! Just sent myself a text via email that I received on CM7!

If you rebooted in between installing each one, the radios should've updated. You might not notice any difference, but it should work. Glad to hear that your problem is solved!

[Q] 3g data issues

i have tried following the instructions on another thread i found here about trying to fix a 3g issue with the incredible and new roms, but i have not been able to get my 3g back. currently i am running a stock ruu. my system info reads s follows...

could it be the radio i have flashed? i dont know a whole lot about them so i havnt done a whole lot of troubleshooting there. can i go backwards with radio flashing? i just want to be sure before i try that as to not brick.

Does your 3g disappear or drop down to 1x often? You say you tried another thread, could you link me to it so I know what you did OR could you explain what steps you have done to alleviate this?
The typical solution is to flash a stock rom then boot into the rom itself and leave it running for a minute or two, even make a call and check 3g to make sure it's working. Then restore your backup rom and enjoy life. I'll provide you a stock rom link with steps to follow in a few minutes.

found it. i followed this thread and reverted back to stock. still hasn't helped my 3g woes. could having the wrong radio cause these problems?

Aight, the rom link in my instructions is this one from RMK40. His link has since gone down. It is the first leaked OTA from last May prior to the flood of gingersense roms.
1. Boot into recovery and perform a Nandroid
2. In recovery, do a Factory reset/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash this
4. Boot into the rom and make a test call. Also check your 3g connection and see if it works. You can run it for ten minutes or an hour if you want to see if the connection fails, although it shouldn't.
5. Reboot into recovery and do Nandroid restore
6. Enjoy.
Post back with your results.
Edit: Here is a reference thread from where I obtained my instructions. I believe you are in the same scenario.

I would flash the froyo ruu thru hboot and then reboot. Then go back to hboot and select factory data reset, or boot to the os and go to Menu Settings Sd & phone storage and select factory data reset. Let it do its thing and then reboot. Once it boots up do the ota programing and your 3g should be fixed. Then you can flash cwm recovery thru hboot, and the su binary thru recovery and you will be rooted and ready to flash roms again. I have had this happen several times when using sense 3/3.5 roms ported from sprint phones.
Also that radio is old, from froyo, but that shouldt be the issue. If a factory reset dosent fix it i guess it wouldnt hurt to try updating to the newest radio. Im 95% positive factory reseting the phone from hboot or the settingd menu will fix your 3g. You have to have the stock recovery for the reset to work, that is why you need to ruu again, unless you are already on the stock recovery.

thanks i think this is working i just got done with programming and now i have 3g! gonna stress test it till later tonight i think and then it is off to flashing a new rom! any rom either of you suggest that shouldn't give me these 3g issues?
again thanks so much for your help

It usually happens to me on roms ported from sprint phones, mostly after doing a *228. I would highly advise not to do a *228 on a sprint rom. If you want to be extra cautious i wold just stay away from sprint ported roms all together.
