3G Broken for some Mysterious Reason

So here is my problem...
3g is not working after installing a few roms, notably the 'New Guy ROM" and "Skyraider"..
It either doesn't connect at all, or stays stuck on 1x the entire time (VERY rarely 3g). Wifi still works fine. I have tried reflashing the same ROM different roms... right now the only one I can even get any data on is Redemption 2.1 (at 1x sometimes 3g).
I have tried updating the prl with *228, and have never had this problem before.. any idea's? Is my phone messed up for some reason? I didn't drop it or anything.. on the contrary, I treat it like a baby lol
*edit* I notice that whenever I try and use data, it turns of 3g- did I like over download or something?
& a little extra info,
I tried upgrading to the new 9.01 radio afterwards to see if it would work, which may or may not have made it worse... not sure lol
Also I think I accidently posted this in the wrong section! sorry =(

I've actually been having the same exact problem since installing SkyRaider 3.3. I'm about to try another ROM and if that does not work then going to try to go back to stock to see what happens. I'm really hoping I don't have to return my phone to Verizon because I really don't want to end up with an SLCD phone if it needs to be replaced.

Ya I think the culprit here is the skyraider update packet or something... Not sure
That would be terrible if we had to replace it lol

Calm down guys, it's not your phones. xD Or even SR! (maybe)
Anyways, fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8785751#post8785751

So like do i just reinstall a new ROM, then factory reset it? The order doesnt make sense to me... It didn't bring me to an "activate screen" on redemption rom

This may be a longshot and is going to sound crazy, but try reverting your splash1 and bootanimation to stock and see if it fixes it. A few weeks ago I had the same 3g problems after installing a custom splash1 and boot animation (not sure which one caused it), but reverting them back to stock fixed it.

[Q] Boot Looping Evo

Hey Guys-
Couldnt find a thread similar so I'll start my own.
6 days ago i updated my rom to CM 7.0.3 and the newest version of Savaged Zen Kernel (dont remember version). Everything was fine until leaving work last night and it began to boot loop in my pocket while driving home. Phone had worked as normal all day (web, text, talk), no changes made to phone either. The only thing i can do is get into the bootloader (by holding power and volume up). Although when i try to enter recovery from there to flash a backup, it just puts me back into the boot sequence again. Any help guys?

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers&txt=PC36IMG.zip
download that rename PC36IMG and put on root of sd card now go into bootloader go into fastboot and it should stay start update press volume up for yes and then when its done put yes it gonna reboot now take out battery put it in evo again and go into bootloader againthen from bootloader go into recovery from there and you should see amon-ra and from there try to do a nandroid or flash a new rom

I got the update to go through, but now when it prompts me for a reboot it just keeps looping. Even when i select no i dont want to reboot and then try and go into recovery, it loops.

try taking out battery for 2 hours and try again

cool will let it rest and let you know the results when I try again.

Do you have insurance on your Evo? Is it still within it's 1 year warranty? It sounds like you got the eternal bootloop of death. Is your bootloader S-on or S-off? The condition you're experiencing is unexplained and usually not fixable. running an RUU is your only hope, and if that failed...your pretty much out of luck.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009672&highlight=boot+looping+no+recovery+access

Yea I'm pretty sure it is still under warranty. I got the phone last August. My bootloader is S-Off. Ill check that thread out.

All you should need to do is wipe and re flash cm7... Our write and re store a back up
Sent by Supersonic!

could be the battery is bad and it is just not getting a constant connection, thus boot looping. i had this issue with a bad battery, swapped it out, no problems

For the record, I mis-spoke...
Sent by Supersonic!

Yea Its not taking anything I flash onto it. No way to get the S On back either. After reading that thread its looking like I am gonna have to somehow fully brick it and take it back to Sprint for a new one......UGH!

First, there are a lot of instances of this happening. Well, not a LOT, but there are several threads about it.
Anyhow, give me a few minutes to upload a file to my mediafire. It's a walk through someone on here wrote that is very detailed and it takes some work, but if everything else fails, it has been known to work.
I'll post the link in a few.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?9zc41jsfs7sm1qf
That's it.

You said that you installed the new recovery and still getting loops. That's because you didn't do anything in recovery. Go into recovery and try wiping cache/dalvik cache. See if it boots. If it doesn't go back into recovery go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except SD card and rotate settings. Reflash cm7 and it should work. Loops are a common thing and easy fix
P.s. I don't know if you did this but ill throw it in there anyway. You have to wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing new kernels.

You can get s-on with 2 files one you flash in recovery the other in the bootloader (the same way you updated to amon recovery). I would post a link but can't cuz I'm on my evo. Just go into the evo development section and there is a thread like 2nd or 3rd page maybe farther back that is called "how to unroot in 2 steps" or something like that. Just did it for a friend 2 days ago so I know it works.

The issue is that I cannot get into recovery AT ALL. Have tried numerous things. It just wont go into recovery. I bit the bullet and took it into the Sprint Store, they pulled up bootloader and never noticed the S Off at the top. Unfortunately my phone had undergone some sort of water damage. (?) So they were unable to do anything for me, looks like ill be paying the $100 deductible for the refurb.
On a side note the tech at the store told me he has been harvesting parts from evos and epics, and has amassed quite a collection of odds and ends, and that if I ever needed a screen replaced, etc. He would do it under the table for a small charge instead of going through the insurance company. Since i still have the phone ill try all these things again just to see if I can get it working again.

@HipCat- Posted before i read your post....Ill try those steps here in a minute. Thats something I have not tried.

nandroid backup

so today is the day my first flashing of a custom rom and im stuck on the first step in rom toolbox i clicked reboot into recovery to make a nandroid backup my phones been sayin rebooting into recovery for some time now like five minutes how long does this take thanx everyone

What rom are you on? If its stuck, do a batter pull, then when powering on, hold vol+down til you see the bootloader screen, scroll down to the recovery, then hit the power button to select.

thanx thats what i ended up doing im ok now going to take a break and run down my checklist one more time and just maybe by the end of the night i will flash my first rom so please everyone keep your fingers crossed man i am missing web os although i think i will be able to do more with android once i get the hang of it

It's not difficult. Once you've done it once you'll get it. Just be sure to make that nandroid backup & regardless of what happens you can always go back - but you shouldn't have to.
Good luck and welcome to Android

Trust me, you won't miss it for long!!!
Mistress of Mischief

And start out right. Get Amon Ra for Recovery and uninstall ROM Manager before you do anything else, THEN make a Nandroid Backup of your Stock setup before you flash anything

Agreed like HipKat said get rid of Rom Manager. You will not learn anything if you keep going through the software to do things like flashing and wiping. shortcuts may be ok when you get better at it but believe me reading reading and doing it the long way has helped me out tremendously. I don't feel cornered when I think something has gone wrong... Good luck

My once bricked E4GT!

To be honest,
Once I got to the rogue et recovery I cried a little (because I actually got there.)
7 hours worth of beating sleep, numb legs from sitting down, afro being dry, and Samantha (samsung support person, cause I really was going to send my phone in..)
Two batteries *thank god!
Don't really, can't explain much. Just a load of reading of the "download shabby's/acs leaked fb17...." thread, xda search tool, google, and youtube.
I'm just glad, I found some way to enable recovery. No, 2 weeks without a phone, no going to the shipping retail location, no "not having my little cloud(white e4gt) in my hand." ....cheesy
I hear birds chirping outside, wow, and the sun is starting to come up.
Now I must figure out what I need to do next in recovery, then get out this desk chair (because my dsfgh...), and go to sleep!
XDA ROCKS!

Wut? You saying you brought your E4GT back from a brick?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

How did that happen?

I'm guessing it wasn't a real brick as in blue light of death. Probably stuck in a boot loop or something.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

What type of brick lol? A soft brick all you need to do is go into download mode and ODIN over some new firmware, forget recovery lol. Unless it was a super brick from flashing ICS recovery where you luckily have recovery... your still pretty screwed. But if it was just a bootloop, soft brick the fix is simple.

How do you fix from boot loop ( the yellow triangle )? I can get in recovery and odim but which ever rom I flash it will not boot up...only to the triangle. In the recovery mode it take very long time to format the data and setting.....waiting time is like one minute. Any help?

...People lack so many details. What rom where you on when the phone last worked, what were you flashing when it screwed up. What is ODIN getting stuck on?
Your either easily fixable, really screwed or completely screwed. Welcome to the 3 possibilities. Without any details for all I know your on Gingerbread and did something retarded or you were flashing in Ice Cream Sandwich and screwed yourself not following directions.

I was on wicked sensation and flash to AOKP build 39....It never happen to me before but somehow this time it did. I use culklins format all and during the data format it get stuck for long time then I remove the battery and it just never able to go pass beyond that. Just couple hour ago I let it sit on that process and it finally format the data and system..I then flash the AOKP but it get stuck on the boot animation......so I decided to ordin to stock kernel EL26 and now same old thing again...unable to go beyond boot loop. My custom binary download is 11 counts...........I have order the USB jig from ebay to see if it can help to erase the counts, maybe that is the issue why not booting up

Wicked sensation is an ICS rom right? Did you flash AOKP 39 from ICS Recovery? The one thing you should not do? If the rom does not have a safe updater binary there is a high chance of super brick when flashing from even a safe ICS recovery, and even higher from the regular repacks. NEVER factory reset from any non safe ics recovery and never flash a zip in ICS recovery unless it is marked as safe to do so.
If when trying to ODIN stock firmware it gets stuck at Data.img then you really did it this time. From what I have heard there are 2 levels of the super brick. The kind where you can still get to download and recovery and the kind where you cant. Stuck on Data.img on the first kind is a bad sign.
As far as the triangle goes that comes up any time you odin an unsigned kernel etc like the el26 cwm one. It is just an indicator and should not be a part of your problem.

Flash any stock gb kernel it should remove the triangle! (ODIN)

I don't really know what's up right now...
The whole reason I'm in this mess is me changing settings when I first flashed AOKP 39. Like setting display, changing the wallpaper. Just going straight down the whole setting page.
I got to the DPI settings, changed it to something lower, 240 i think. Rebooted... Didn't like it, changed it back to the original, rebooted... the words and all were original but not the status bar, not the lock screen, not the navi bar.
It was super weird!
So I thought:
"...doing a factory reset would allow me to start fresh again. If that doesn't work, I can just start completely over(odin back to gb). that way I can install gapps(the arrangement of back and enter buttons confused me, causing me to restart)"
All of a sudden, phone didn't work. Can't really remember what happened at the time. If it went into boot loop or not. But it didn't go into the rom.
Somehow, I ending up doing stuff, since I just got it a week ago I really didn't know much, was just learning as I went. "new phone, new things to learn"
Anyways, ending up with "A" recovery, and I've always been able to get into ODIN.
recovery that works is: rogue_ET-recovery-1.2.2-FB27-rc0.tar
Now that I have some kind of recovery and odin I thought, maybe I could get back to stock. Just don't know how, thats were doing more searches came in. Still got NOTHING. lol.
I was aware of not flashing ics from an ics dadada messages. hint: i read stuff
I did a factory reset which caused all of this. Kinda know I shouldn't of done it now, ...never came across anything about not doing it at the time. I still haven't, I'll google that too.
Umm.. flashing stuff through pda doesn't work. to be more specific
when I look at the progress, it doesn't include data.img (so it PASS)
if I odin something and it says data.img, then its stuck there.
so that recovery I'm using: (volup+pwr)
bootscreen(samsung galaxy s II) -> quick led(blue) -> bootscreen(samsung galaxy s II) -> recovery
any other tries when getting into recovery WITHOUT odin rogue_ET-recovery-1.2.2-FB27-rc0.tar: (volup+pwr)
quick led(blue) -> bootscreen(samsung galaxy s II) -> quick led(blue) -> bootscreen(samsung galaxy s II) bootloop bootloop bootloop. Sometimes it will stay there for a few minutes then bootloop again.
-----
so right now, ....still trying to find a solution. I'm still on google and xda searching. I really don't want to do anything else because both batteries I think are nearly dead...
When I started flashing, I was on ParanoidAndroid, then I found AOKP 39. It worked, was awesome. But I did a factory reset from the settings within the rom and now Im typing this...

If all you get is the blue led.... Its done. That's what I was seeing when I bricked my first e4gt. On AOKP it says in red all caps too, do not do anything with this kernal.. Probably not word for word, but unless its a safe recovery as stated, you can't do anything with it, not even wipes.

Your at the level where some people seemed to have been able to repartition the eMMC around the origina /Data area consuming space other partitions normally used. Its not considered stable.
There is no premenant fix that can be applied by you, a sprint store, or even jtag service. The Super Brick bug corruption occurs at the lowest possible level. You basically need Samsung to fix it, though just about anyone on the eMMC partner list technically can.
Phone replacement is the primary option or you can see about getting info about the repart here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644364

Great, ha-ha.
Well, I look into that repart info. If I can't handle it. All I have to do is print out the ups shipping label and send it in. So sad... anything I need to do when sending it in? As in, do I need to put it at some kind of "ok" state? Ugh, I hate this.

Can not boot into recovery after rom manager updated my CM9

Hello, Wondering if anyone here could help out. I recently went from MIUI US ICS rom to CM9 and love the latest build of CM9. I had not tried a backup of the rom after flashing to CM9, but noticed that Rom Manager updated at play.google.com and then I decided maybe I should make a backup of CM9 sine it was shaping up pretty nicely as I've been setting up apps,etc.
Well, I can't get into recovery. I can boot into the bootloader and it shows Revolutionary as the boot loader and I can get into Fastboot but if I toggle down to recovery and press the power button it just jumps back to the bootlloader screen. I can't get past this.
I'm tempted to put a different recovery on here now as the rom manager didn't work out even though it came stock on my CM9.
But before I risk bricking my phone, I was hoping someone here could back me up a bit and give me some input. I really don't know that much about this.. I can root phones, install recoveries, etc., but if something goes wrong I'm not knowledgeable enough to actually understand what went wrong and how to fix. I am guessing that recovery is not actually installed here and that Revolutaionary (what I used long ago to get root) wasn't planned to be the boot here.
Help please anyone!!!!!

It's been a while since I've done someting like that. By this you mean place a recovery package on the zip card, press the power button at the bootloader, then let the phone install the recovery when it runs thru the fastboot screen?
If yes, great, I remember that, but which recovery should I download? And what about rom manager on CM9? Does it care which recovery is installed?
I appreciate the knowledge here. IT sure is appreciated when things go wrong for folks like myself!
Oh, I should point out that I can stil boot into the phone and use it. The whole issue is limited to getting into recovery to create and/or restore backups of the rom.

1st off, I should shun you for being corrupt with CWM, but I'll help ya out.
Use the search bar and type in "Smelkus recovery" find a themed recovery zip you like and rename it "PC36IMG.zip" and place on the root of your SD card (in no folders) boot to boot loader and let it search, press volume up to update recovery and boom! You have new, better recovery.
As for flashing CM9, check out Jmzs CM9 nightlies. Its better and (supposedly) almost has Wimax working. Once you flash an Amon Ra based recovery, CWM becomes basically useless. So ditch it for the good of everyone. ENJOY

Well can I pick your brain once more? I decided to update my wifes phone from MIUI to CM9. She happened to have Clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. on the phone which I recall was put there by whatever rooting routine I used. Before installing CM9, I tried to update the recovery with Smelkus from the clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2 that's on the phone to smelkus, but when I try to flash it, the smelkus recovery just sits there "parsing" so when I bail out and go back to check, the clockwork version recovery is still there.
This phone was rooted with Revolutionary but I notice that S-ON is still active. I read that S-OFF is not necessary to install a recovery --- at least not the clockwork version that is on this phone. I'm not sure if that's causing the problem or not. Any advice?

Try this one. It should work.

Gave it a try, same result. What do you think might be going on? I wonder if I should try and flash it with the same one that's stuck in the phone first then try the others? Clueless really what's happening.

If I were you, I'd run the RUU for your phone and start over

Hello... d-b-s
By chance have you seen this recovery located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29266458
I have a spare evo that is sorta-bricked or sorta screwed, not sure which... It has a SD slot that seems to be locked out. Nothing can be read from it but I did get it working once but lost it. ANd it also doesn't boot unless I have a power plug in it, but otherwise, it works, flashes, etc.. it's got CM9 right now in it but again somewhat useless without the SD memory.... anyhow, it's been a plaything for me figureing I'll either fix it, learn or kill it. None has happened yet.. but in searching for getting a recovery installed that uses the screen hard buttons versus the volume (this rocker switch on volume is broken too), I installed this recovery and it's different than anythign else... fully menuized .. real customized, and thought I would mention it to you.
If you have a look at it, let me know what you think.
Bill.

I'm familiar with twrp. I don't much care for it though. A dew tricks with smelkus is it has touch scrolling, and the bottom buttons work as up+down+back+select..
Also I might know of a fix for the SD card not being read. I'll get back to you with that.

d-b-s,
That would be fantastic if you had a clue on the SD card. I did try a FastBoot string that reset it once the first time and it worked, but somehow I lost it again. I think a corrupt or defective SD card started the whole problem and restarted it when I put it's data SD back in.
Do you ride a motorcycle or have a boat? If so, stop by here please www.streetglo.net and pick yourself out something. I'd like to send it to you. You have helped me more than you know. I can't reciprocate with knowledge but I have other ways.. Let me know what you see you like. Thanks!!!!
Bill
P.S. Yea, I know you don't want anything for your help.. Just pick out something you can use and I'll be a better man for it. At least I think it works that way!

I really appreciate the kind gesture but I wouldn't like anything in return. Helping people with their problems and teaching them what I know is enough of a reward.
Please do me a favor and enjoy yourself. Best of wishes to you.
