[Q] How do I get data back on my Evo?

Here's what happened:
Called Sprint because I was unable to send out SMS although I was able to receive. I was on the device at the time of the call and I asked the rep if she wanted to call me on another phone. She said that what she had to do didn't involve me being on a different line. I found it kind of weird but I figured she knew what she was talking about.
She tells me that she's done doing what she was doing and that I had to reboot my phone. I disconnect the call reboot my phone and test out the SMS. It works but now my data doesn't work at all. I'm using Cyanogen RC1 and I see no 1X or 3G at the top. I can s/r calls as well as s/r sms.
I called again and the guy knew I was using Cyanogen's ROM (I guess they have a way to do that now). He tried basic troubleshooting but we couldn't fix it. How do I fix this? I remember seeing a website link in a thread a while back that contained all the different PRL versions available for download in a .zip file that we could flash in recovery. Does anyone have the website?
I tried rebooting. Should I do a nandroid restore? I have a feeling it's network related so I don't know if that will fix the issue.

Have you tried flashing a sense or stock rom and see if you get text messages there. Worth a shot. If not give your nandroid a shot or even a full wipe install.

I'm going to a nandroid restore right now. I already backed up all my apps and stuff.

Good luck!

No luck. I'm on the phone with Sprint right now and all of the reps I speak to are lost. I know it's a network issue and something not being enabled on their side.

Ok I got off the phone with them and still haven't resolved my issue. They are claiming they can't help me because my phone is rooted. They wanted me to press ##3282 commands but Cyanogen doesn't have those functions built in.
This mess all started off with a texting problem. The thing that baffles me is that SMS has nothing to do with data.

Switch to a stock sense rom and call back.

Yup, that was my idea.
I'm still a bit taken back at the fact they knew which rom you were using.

Yeah man the guy was like " I'm looking at your account and I was checking what version you were using and it says Fresh". I told him that it was what I was using before but I'm using Cyanogen now.
They somehow know what version. I think they somehow send a signal to your device so it can send back the info that's in the about section. I thought it was pretty cool. He kept stressing that my warranty was void.

[Q] 2 rings then voicemail. calling an evo

I purchased an EVO for my girlfriend. Did the unrevoked root to it only. No custom ROM or kernel. Used sdx app remover to clear off the junk. Installed wireless tether for her. That's it.
In the last 3 to 5 days, anyone who calls her it rings between 2-4 times an goes to voicemail. She gets no missed call. We've rebooted. Verified 4g is off. Tethering is killed.
However, in the past week or so she has been using wireless tethering more often while applying for jobs. She has also installed the voicemail update on her phone.
Does anyone have any issues similiar or any advice? I know there are setting in my epic dialer codes to check the setting to send calls to VM if data is active. I have no idea if EVO has this or not. Could it be extended use of the wifi tether? I imagine a lot of users use the tether app often and for much more time, she has been using it about 2-3 hours a night about 4 nights a week. The voicemail upgrade is where I'm thinking our issue is. I've talked her through the settings but cant see anything that is related.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

My unrooted evo does the none to 2 rings and goto voicemail. Its ticking my wife off when she calls me. I don't know exactly what's causing this, my thoughts tell me something with 4g devices in general. Network wise.

You can check from the home screen, menu, settings, call, then scroll down to DDTM mode, if it is checked uncheck it and see what happens.

We tried both checked and unchecked. reboots between changes. still same problem. we removed wifi tether as well. so the only change would be the voicemail update.
verified 4g was off. she doesnt have any auto sync enabled and usually background sync is off but we've tried with that on and off.
thank you for the tip though. very weird behavior. the evo has been rock solid since we got it.

That is pretty crazy, there is a setting in there somewhere to select your voicemail service. I'm in airplane mode on wifi right now so I can't locate it. Search through all the settings from menu/settings its in there somewhere. Maybe you can deselect sprint vvm.

ive had this a few times as well. try to update your profile.

Well. We did profile update. Nothing. Chkd voicemail provider and swapped both options. No luck. She ran across a setting in my contact info that was set to send to voicemail. It was on! She said its not like she could have done this in her purse or something. When u select/deselect the option u get prompted to confirm. Anyway she changed it and voila I get thru. Thanks for everyones help. This is a great group!

HA! Figures i was going to ask this but figured it was to simple of a solution! Glad you got it working!

SMS Error - Cause Code: 34, Error Class: 2

Called tech support. They've no idea what it is.
Went into Sprint and had techs assess it. No idea. Manager has never seen code.
Switched ROMs from CM 7.0.2.1 to MikG to see if ROM was affecting it. Nope.
Unable to send/receive SMS and make/receive calls. Data fully functional in all aspects (1x, 3G, 4G, GPS, WiFi).
Intermittent issues yesterday. Can't do any SMS or calling period today.
Any idea?

What were you doing prior to this happening?

I was doing nothing prior to it. Business as usual. Same locations I'm always at, same amount of text messaging, same people I contact as usual. It came out of nowhere and came to stay, sadly.

You say you switched ROMs? So I would assume you wiped everything.
Which would be
System/Data
Dalvik
Cache
Boot
Android Secure
And everything else besides ext partition and your SD right?
Now let's trouble shoot this problem. Have you tried installing an OTA ROM? If not, wipe your phone completely and install an OTA rooted Rom.
As you are doing this, I will research on this problem.

Also have you attempted reprogramming your phone? I remember someone having this problem a long time ago and someone suggested dialing *228
Found the article. The number is indeed *228, but this was for the Droid Eris, so a different carrier. But dialing *228 fixed the problem.
Ignore the previously mentioned. It seems it may be for Verizon only.
EDIT#2
Good god I just read you can't make phone calls. So before we start messing with these codes, have you updated radios at all? If not, try to do so after doing the first step I requested you to do.
EDIT#3
This seems to have to do with your phones provisioning. Try provisioning your phone, it seems that has worked for others whom have had the problem.
To do this you will need to call sprint to do the provisioning process. So if wiping your phone does not work along with reinstalling a rooted OTA, try this.

@DDiaz007:
I had not installed an OTA ROM and I had read elsewhere about the *228 code and was quite sad when it was for Verizon only, considering those people were having the precise errors I was having.
I ended up calling into Advanced Tech at Sprint as per someone's advice in the IRC for Evo. Forgot the guy's name, wish I could give him credit here.
Solution was:
##231465#
Edit Mode
MDN: Should be current phone number. If not, correct it.
MSID: Should be number AT will tell you you should have. If not, correct it to such. If it already is, change number to some other 10-digit number, commit modifications. Reenter this edit mode by same means and change back to number AT said it should be, commit modifications. It required a reboot for me to acquire service again after changing that number and changing it back, but both SMS and voice now work flawlessly for me. Hell, maybe faster than before!
Thank you for your continued persistence in helping me solve my problem, though. I really appreciate it.

Man that is good to know. I was going to get ready and post a bunch of programming codes for the Evo, but you solved your problem. Very good!

Hello I am that same problem on my EVO 4G but all things work and data work Its just keep saying SMS ERROR something 34 and code 2 and this occured after i downloaded the blaze beta 4 rom. I am new to this phone tech stuff and do not want to make things worst on phone. I will be waiting for someones help and thanks...

I got the same problem about 2 weeks ago. Short sms sends good, but then sms length not suited in one message, this cause error. Solution i still has not found.
I tried to get into service mode by code? wrote upper, but no menu appeared.

Bump for a solution for this problem...
I am currently running the fresh rom 4.3.3 by flipz and constantly receiving this message. I have tried resetting the phone...doing a full wipe of the phone and doing a clean install of the rom.
This problem Also occured on the Team Nocturnal's 4.67 OTA Rom with the updated radios and updated OTA kernel...I have recently gotten an Airave howver, this problem was happening about 2 weeks prior to getting my Airave.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Your authentication code could not be verified

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm having problems with my Evo running CM7. I can't send any text messages (they fail every time) and when I try and make a phone call, a voice comes up saying "Your authentication code could not be verified." I flashed over to the Fresh rom and updated my PRL and profile and rebooted the phone and still, get the exact same message. I'm not roaming because it's happening in my current town.
Does anyone have the slightest idea on what could fix this?
Thanks!

You should give Sprint a call on this one. Sounds like something on their end.

I've been having the same issues in Houston. Seems like a Sprint problem.

Having the same issue here in San Diego... I get net access, but nothing else. My buddies phone is working fine.

Flash back to a Sense ROM, call Sprint, and have them refresh your device in the system.

Yep, this worked. First rep I talked to was totally clueless as to what to do, the second was helpful and resolved the issue.

Happens all the time, lol. If I know they can do it and they won't/can't, I usually just call back.

Lose 3G whenever making outgoing calls...

Alright, 2 nights ago my phone stopped sending/receiving texts/calls, I do have a cloned phone, but the Samsung Intercept I used as a donor phone sits in a drawer with it's battery out and all, but I've recently began using it again since my WFS does not want to work as a phone anymore. 3G connects fine when using it for anything except calling or texting. When I text it loses signal then goes to 1x then fails to send, when calling 3G turns off, the icon goes away in the status bar, and I get "Your account could not be validated..." (My WFS had a bad ESN and I bought it off ebay, and the guy told me it was ready to activate so I paid $110 and wasn't about to try and re-sell it)
If anyone can help me out here It'd be a great help. I've read it could be a kernel problem, but I haven't downloaded a new kernel to flash it yet. I'm trying that tomorrow.

When you make calls the 3g icon is suppose to go away because the phone dosent require a data connection while placing a call, I would flash a new rom

Installed a stock ROM, simonsimons sense 3.5 and CM7. No luck though, I still get the same message. Last thing I remember doing before things stopped working properly was I uninstalled simtoolkit and smartcard service using nobloat. I was using simons sense 3.5 then.
Edit: The intercept works perfectly. So I know it's not my VM account.

Anyone.....?

Actually, Everything works except calls. I can text and use data and everything but calls say "Cannot verify account"
Edit: Got a new message when I tried to call again, It was error 16, so I looked it up and people said something about rooting phones and such, I'm going to try and unroot my phone and see what happens

look at build.prop and see "ro.ril.enable.dtm", set this to 1 if your network allows simultaneous transfer of Circuit switched (CS) voice and Packet switched (PS) data over the same radio channel (ARFCN)
im not sure with your case but maybe this can help

I actually do not have that line in my build.prop... is it supposed to be there on the MarvelC? Not sure if it's the same thing, but I did ##DATA# and enabled DDTM there. if it doesn't work I can always change it back to disabled, but it's worth a try...
Edit: Didn't work, guess i'll just call up VM and talk to them about it. From what people were saying it's either the rooting, or a security measure that happens randomly when doing a hard reset set up by sprint, and Sprint owns VM so... bleh.
