[Q] went from amon RA to clockwork recovey - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got a new EVO as my last one over heated and craped out. long story short i got a new phone and rooted it with this method
[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - There Will Be Root - Upd. 01.04.11
then i flashed the new fresh to start off with. then i decided i wanted to try something new so i went with AVAFROYO and loved it. then i decided to try cynogen 6.1 and read the easiest way was to just use the rom manager from android market somewhere so i used it. it wanted to me change from amon RA to clockwork so i let it. flashed CM 6.1 decided it was crap compared to AVA and flashed AVA back. then i sat around for a day enjoying that my phone wasnt ringing off hook all day as usual. but thats where the problem is. i cant recieve incoming call/texts/or voice mails. well i get the voice mails and texts when i make a call out. ive tried factory rest, nand back ups changing roms, udpating all my raidos and such. and the 3g just wont stay connected or my voice data.
ive exhausted all my options i think.. so theres what i did and what ive tried i figured id try everything else i could think of before i posted here for help. but here i am no closer to recieving calls.. so please HELP!
and also im almost to the point of unrooting and restoring stock RUUs to see if that would fix it. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated thanks

Did you nand like it said to? if you did the backup just revert back to that.. If not maybe try reflashing the radios?
Oh and also on the RUU yeah man I did that because I was having issues with the 4g. Its not that bad the 2nd time around ( rooting it again that is ) so just roll with it brah

I tried nandbackup didn't help at all. I get 3g and voice data fine when I'm making a call but when I'm not on the phone they both gray out and I don't receive incoming calls or texts.. just unroot and restore stock and take it back and get another new phone. It's only been like a week and a half..

Hmm really duno man. Ive seen this somewhere else on the forum. But im unsure where I seen it..

Have you tried loading a rooted stock rom yet?

That's my next step. Should I just do the latest rooted ota?

So I am able to send and receive phone calls and texts now.
Here's what I did. I went to the ##data and my evdo was set at hdr. I changed it to automatic rebooted and had a friend call and text me. Received both. Changed back and repeated. Didst receive. Changed to digital only and retried. Received both. Downloaded speedtest.net to test 3g speeds and a little disappointed with only 101kb avg down and 128 avg up. But hey least I can receive phone calls and texts now.
Anyone have any clues as to why the hdr was doing that?

well i guess HDR only always blocks incoming calls and texts from what ive pulled up on google. but i dont understand how my phone switched to HDR only, i have it on cdma HDR only now.. whats the default setting that the phone comes with anyone know?

Automatic I would think. That allows the phone to switch from 3g to 1x for voice and texts

HDR is what you want it on, that is true 3G. While you are in there go to the Data Profile section and under menu select Restore. When it comes back up let it update everything except Firmware.
That will re-activate your phone and should fix it.

restored my profile and it set evdo to automatic, i let it update all but firmware restarted activated phone. it worked on auto i changed it to HRD only and tested. Wasnt able to recieve calls or texts again changed it back to CDMA HDR only and it works. as long as i can recieve phone calls im ok with not having complete 3g service. i live in a 4g area and only really use my phone to tether for internet and as long as i have 4g and can recieve incomming calls and texts im fine. but still a bit confused as to why this happened.
and DDTM is diasbled

HELP, Cannot receive calls or texts, only send

Ive search through numerous evo threads but found no answers. Ive been rooted for about a month and about 2 days ago I stopped being able to receive calls and texts, but I am able to connect to my google account and receive mail on wifi and 4g and I am able to make calls and send texts out on the network. Was using Calkulin's 1.8 rom when this happened.
I have an 003 evo, and I out the sprint lovers rom back on just to make sure it wasnt the rom,,still behaving the same.
I have updated PRL +Profile, flashed and reflashed a couple different roms.
Any ideas?
##3282# ,edit mode. Once your in there you have to find data. I am not on a sense rom and dont remember exactly where it is. Under advanced maybe..just look around. Once your in data hit menu, restore.
You have to know your msl to do this so get msl reader from the market first and write it down.
This also assumes your still on a sense rom.
Not positive itll work but its with a shot!

The above method can still work, if you don't have one, you should flash a sense rom and make a backup of it just for these types of instances.
I literally *just* had this problem. It happened after I installed CM7, with exactly the problems you had. I flashed dozens of ROMs, wiped, radios, re-wiped, etc.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950922
I had to take it to a Sprint store to get it fixed. They said all they did was a hard reset -- but when I got my phone back, I noticed the HBOOT was back at 0.97 and the radios were out of date, on an August 2010 version.
I have no idea what they did to fix this. I hope someone here can expand on this, I would really like to know how I could go about fixing this on my own in case it happens again. Try giving them a call from a landline to see if they can get it fixed.
If you go the customer service route, make sure you un-root before you do anything (follow the 2-step guide). I rooted right after I got my phone back with no problems.

[Q] Help please, my phone does everything but make calls.

Specs: been rooted for awhile. Currently running end of days rom by magnus. Can't think of anything else thats relevent.
Problem : my phone no longer will call anybody. It says everytime '' cannot make this call at this time, try again later'' doesn't matter who I call it won't go through. It started today as far as I can tell randomly. I have great service and everything else works just fine including 4g and gps.
I tried: nandroid restore of both a sense rom and destroyer (aosp) and also did a factory wipe and re installed my current rom. I also went through the settings to see if I did something dumb. I didn't see anything.
Any ideas would be great, I'm lost without my phone.
I was having trouble receiving calls last night, I think Sprint is working on their network again. Try updating your profile and prl through settings and that may help.

Updated but no difference. I also updated the radio as well, just for the hell of it. No luck
I was having issues with google voice 2 days before so I deleted the account. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it won't let me make a new account now.
this mite sound dumb but did u pay ur bill?
unless you're having problems on every rom, i'd say look into the prl. i flashed a rom 3 weeks ago that changed the meid on a evo, dont ask me how, but its true. so you might wanna check that also if its been repaired
Lol, yes. Bill has never been late. And I up dated prl and have nandroided back to two different roms. No luck.
I'm having the same problem last outgoing call I was able to make was at 2am. Every call today says call lost. I'm running CM's latest nightly.
Do you have the google voice integration enabled by chance? My wife's EVO without the integration enabled works fine, mine with it enabled I get that unable to place your call at this time message all the time. I spoke with Sprint about it and they were no help. I think it's a google problem. That means good luck getting any support. Google is great until you need support for something.

I fixed mine by flashing a stock rooted rom made a outgoing call worked fine. Then flashed back to CM7 stable and everything is working again.

Not receiving calls?

Before I get n00b bashed, I did "Search this thread" for the answer... (and other forums) Maybe I am just too n00b? Anyway, here goes.
Given kudos on this ROM already (Syndicate Rom: Frozen...anything is better than stock Froyo, but this is just AMAZING). But I was having some troubles with receiving incoming calls. Caller always got "All circuits busy" Or "cannot complete call as dialed".
Soooo, I wiped and reflashed. Tried to make a call (before restoring titanium backups) it worked, but my girl was still having troubles calling me...
So I restored most of my titanium backup (stuff that mattered?) and when trying to call out, I get "com.android.phone stopped working" and had to forcibly close it. So, I specifically restored phone 1.0 and contacts and all that from my titanium Backup, and still got the same issue. I am currently backing up stuff to my computer off the phone, going to format the card and do a fresh flash and see if that helps.
Thing to note, my account IS linked with Google Voice. Could that be an issue? And if not, is anyone else having this issue? Seriously the ONLY problem I am having with this rom. Thanks, guys!
Edit. Wipe and reflash did not help, however the phone is running MUCH better! Still not getting phone calls, though. Data works, MMS, etc, spotty 3G acceptance, though. Starting to get a bit aggravating. ANY help would be GRAND.
*sigh* think I got it. Flashed a different modem (EC03?) and it did not work, then flashed BACK to EC05 (AFTER the fresh flash) and it seems to have rectified the issue. HUGE thanks to QBKING77 (if that is his name on here) for the AWESOME video tuts and great linking to the site. I will update if call status changes. But I would still be interested in knowing if anyone else was having the same issues?
Sorry no one ever got to you for help. The Q&A section doesn't exactly have dedicatedhelpers. =/
I'll be trying to help this section more. So please do update if it comes again.

No worries. My girl and I gave it another go this morning, and all went well. Also received all my calld last night with no issue. Definitely made my girl a happy camper. Lol. Now I just have to calibrate my battery when I get to work, and all will be golden!

the only thing I could think of is did you "freeze" any apps in titanium LOL yes I froze the wrong thing once and got the same error's I think it was the voice mail stuff seeing i went to gvoice didn't think I needed it but I did.
Nope. All apps were left unfrozen, just because I am too n00b for that chit, lol.
However, I flashed the EC05, and all incoming calls (90%) seem to be coming to me. Odd part is, it SHOULD be going to my voicemail if it cannot be dialed. I am thinkin Sprint is to blame, and I need to have it out with them.
*sigh*
Oh well, everything else is tits... Just waiting EAGERLY for 1.2... Chompin at the bit and all that!
Might get bored tonight and flash back to stock... see if I have the same problem.
Question. Let's say I want to "image" my phone the way it is right now (kinda like Norton Ghost used to do?) Flash back to stock, yadda yadda... Is there a way to RESTORE my phone as is (every byte) back with clockwork? Or is that what Nandroid does? Because if I flash back to Stock, play for a bit (see if it is sprint's fault) and want to flash back, I will have to reconvert back to EXT4... using clockwork 3.0, should I just use the .zip (.img?) that nandroid creates instead of the base ROM?
If any of that makes sense, kudos will be given for a clear answer, lol
just loaded Emerald Envy 2.0....
Absolutely love the ROM, but I can no longer receive calls. I've tried the wipe (x3), re-downloaded the ROM, no joy. no combination that I can think of. Have tried all the latest modems (EC05/EF02), no joy.
I did notice that the phone log does log that a call was received, but it never rings or brings up the phone application.
I also tried flashing the Genocide 1.1 kernal. no joy.
I'm about to go back to my Midnight ROM that I Nandroid'd earlier today before I started down this road. Really hope I don't have to, i'm hooked on this ROM!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My errors seem to be different than yours. Mine would not show up in my call log at all, nor would the calls go to voicemail. Are your callers able to leave messages?
Mine turned out to be a sprint/phone issue. Their networks have been all kinds of crappy in my area since january. Sucks, but all I could do was call, complain, and get credits.
My new epic seems to be working fine, and sprint seems to have fixed their issues in my area. I was running 1.2 up until last night with no issues callin/receiving. I only updated to the latest GB leak because it is hella stable and netflix works. Just seems to have some 3d issues. But I do not game much on here.
Keep troubleshooting, and give 1.2 a whirl. While your problem is not ROM related, I am very confident your experience (and battery) will be much better.
Oh. And call Sprint. Complain and whine. You will get credit on your bill. Lol.
Sent from my Epic. Which is better than yours.

[Q] Major problem!!!

not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then, totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?
since i made the post, i been playing around with the phone. ive reflashed the rom, reinstalled the nothin but honey theme, no changes.....
have NO internet what so ever, no market place, etc...
only way i can get online on the phone is through wifi.....
somethin has happened.... please help??
of course i cant call sprint tech support because of the root so thats not an option.
I'd love to help
You can always backup (Nandroid) then Odin back to stock. Then flash a different rom. WITHOUT THE THEME Hope this helps
thanks, but if at all possible, id rather see if it can be fixed before i do all that. i found another thread that said just reflash it and such, which i did-- no change...
again, only way i can get online is by wifi--- so far, dont seem to have any other issues but desperately need to get the regular internet connection to work, dont know what happened, just quit totally today for whatever reason.
anyone, please?
Try flashing just a different Modem.
Then Update Profile and PRL.
You'll want to check the General forum where you posted this exact same question. Some good advice there.

Check the general forums as suggested or just Reflash the Modem (radio's).

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC One V [CDMA] cannot make calls or text reflashed RUU

Hi, so I decided to root/unlock my phone to see if I could fix my cell signal problem, it just randomly started to drop signal every time I made a call and I could not send 100% of my texts and would receive a text once in a blue moon. My 3g for data works fine... I changed roms, still couldn't acquire a signal other than data and the same issue would happen after flashing to different ROMs.
So I reflashed RUU to revert back to stock and I still cannot make a call or send a text. What am I doing wrong? I have searched far and wide and lots of stuff, I don't understand about radio files but maybe those would help? I need some pretty noob proof advice/guides to be honest as I've been having trouble with all of this, and I like my phone, so it'd be nice if I could make calls and text again.
