For about the last 2 days I have been unable to receive text messages on my phone yet I can still send out. Regardless of what rom I use I am still not getting any. I even called sprint and they said it seems like a technical issue. I didn't realize it until someone from work called wondering why I hadn't responded, I just thought no one wanted to talk to me :/ haha
Come on XDA geniuses! Please save me! I don't want to get a new phone
Edit : the only weird thing that has happened in the past few days was I flashed what I thought was a CM kernel but CWM said "Updating boot " I freaked out fearing that I did something wrong (I know on a computer if you mess up boot you're introuble) and quickly restored a NAND knowing that it would restore any boot image
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
happened to me as well, u have 2 update ur msid... if ur on a CM ROM, do a nandroid and flash the default evo rom, or any sense rom, i used the fresh rom...
then call sprint, n tell them you cant receive texts and you want to update your msid, and they will tell u 2 go 2 your dial pad, n dial ##2...# <<<--- some numbers, cant remember... jes enter those numbers, n dey'll tell u wat 2 do, its simple... once u update the msid, ur fone will reboot, then try 2 send urself a text from another fone or frm online, it shud work now....
once the texts start working, reboot into ur recovery again n flash ur nandroid backup 2 take ur fone back 2 how it was be4
if ur not on a CM ROM, u dnt have 2 boot into recovery or do nandroid or anything, jes call sprint straight up, n tell em about not receiving texts n need 2 update msid, same stuff as above...
This has been an ongoing issue for me for a few months now. For a time i was also unable to make calls as well. The phone would ring on my side but the other person's phone would not ring at all. I called sprint and they had me update my profile and some other things and that seemed to help initially as i started receiving sms again. But to this day, i still sometimes get messages that were sent hours late. Outgoing seems ok, but the incoming are delayed from an hour to 12 hours. I read this thread and it seems like this is a sprint issue.

1) "Flashing boot" means "flashing /boot partition" which is where the kernel is stored. No reason to freak out about that.
2) To solve your problem, just Nandroid Backup your ROM, flash over to a stock rooted Sense ROM (You can get 3.70.651.1 from here) and from there, update your PRL and Profile. You should get a slew of texts that you hadn't been receiving, and after that you can just Nandroid Restore back to your previous ROM.
This was a bug that we on the Snap team first found while beta-testing Snap 7.6, and we also found that flashing over to Sense usually cleared it up, but updating PRL and Profile always fixed it.
Really? lol I feel like such a noob (even though i am not really one) most kernels I flash say "Updating Kernel" and etc.
Also I figured that out about an hour ago when I read that on an HTC Hero forum.
and it worked I got like 50 texts hahahaaaa!
But thanks because if I didnt find that out earlier then YOUD BE A LIFESAVER!
I'm curious though, what causes this to happen?

I understand most of the main input from this thread here, and this is way aside from anything here but does it make a difference if I have a 1.77_003 PRI Version with 60674 PRL Version?
I see that they have 1.90_003 or something now? Is that updateable for my phone? Specs in my signature if that is any useful bit of info

We never found out what really "caused" it, but my theory is that EPST (which only Stock-based ROMs have, not CM), "checks-in" with the radio, or keeps it in-check, and sometimes it gets a little messed up, and the EPST has to correct it.
One way to think about it I guess, is a vehicle travelling in a straight line; it won't always be straight, and needs to be corrected every now and then due to slight errors, or outside interference (wind, imperfections in the road, etc.). Random reboots, power-offs, bad updates, screwed up cell towers, and such might have a similar effect on the radio.
This is just speculation though, I have no real proof behind it.
Same problem. need help
Hi. I use this forum for a long time but it's the first time I comment. I have the same problem and it's really annoying. I am noob and I need help to do this:
1) "Flashing boot" means "flashing /boot partition" which is where the kernel is stored. No reason to freak out about that.
2) To solve your problem, just Nandroid Backup your ROM, flash over to a stock rooted Sense ROM (You can get 3.70.651.1 from here) and from there, update your PRL and Profile. You should get a slew of texts that you hadn't been receiving, and after that you can just Nandroid Restore back to your previous ROM.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S Plus with custom rom 4.3.1.
Thank you
Hey folks
My desire HD wiped ALL my texts, including drafts, for no reason. The delete old messages wad unchecked. NOT a happy camper.
How do I recover them?
Hope someone can help me, had a lot of important stuff.
Gary
hm...its a known issue...
I dont think u can restore them now but u can use SMS backup&restore for now on...
If you have HTC sense account, it can restore messages, sync back and keep fingers crossed.
Yes that is one of the main reason I rooted and installed a custom ROM. I had that problem 3 times, each time the time between gets less and less. I highly recommend you look into rooting the handset now.
I havn't a clue how to root my phone. Or what it does. I would be interested in doing it.
Is there no software I can download to recover them?
Not to recover but there is software to backup the ones you get in the future and then to restore those. To root please tell us your build number which you can find in Settings, about phone, software information.
****. A well, that will teach me. Build number is 2.37.178.8 CL66021
I use SMS Backup +
It syncs with your Google account and you can set frequency of sync intervals.
Hey
Hey,
Yeah its happened to me before. As far as I know there isn't any way to restore your lost messages. And would definitely look into rooting your phone and installing a custom Rom. I use to have the same problem before but since I've rooted my phone. Havnt had a problem at all. And it really is easy to root your phone these days and get a custom Rom on. I managed it on my first try.
Rooting your phone means giving yourself admin access, giving you access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only
This allows you to change all kinds of things that normally you wouldn't be able to, along with install custom versions of Android also known as Roms. Change the UI etc
I just rooted my evo 4g using Revolutionary and now I can't receive text messages. I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.1 and it works great except for the lack of incoming SMS. Outgoing works fine. I restored back to my rooted stock ROM and am not able to receive SMS there either. Any Ideas?
Thanks!
If you're back on the stock ROM (or any Sense ROM), try updating your profile (Settings->System Update). That seems to help some people with the same problem.

Do you have your phone number integrated with Google Voice?
Tried it a couple of times... No luck. Sent one usin a web text service and this is the notification I received to my email account that sent it. Maybe it will help.

Not integrated with Google Voice...
Error 554 means the server rejected the message for some reason. Is there more of the error message you can provide (such as "Service Unavailable", etc)?
I Googled it as it relates to Sprint and saw that it could mean the server was too busy or the message was rejected because the provider (the web text service or your mail server) is on a watchlist. I was able to send one to my phone number @messaging.sprintpcs.com with no issues, using my Gmail account. Windows Live users have supposdly had this problem often.
There could be a temporary outage wherever you are -- but the only other thing you can try is "restoring" your profile.
Dial ##3282# from your phone, go to Edit Mode, put in your MSL (get it using MSL Reader from the Market if you don't already have the MSL), then click "Data Profile". Hit your Menu button and then select "Restore". It will do a few other things like update your PRL if needed, and then try to update the software. After that finishes, reboot and try again.

Did you find a solution yet? I just helped my friend flash CM on his Evo and he's having the same problem.
Solved
I ran into this problem and was made aware that I wasn't receiving texts just last night after 3 days of friends thinking I was an ass. Anyway, after a ton of attempts I was finally able to solve the problem. Here's what I did:
1. Create a backup of your current rom using clockwork recovery (there's nothing wrong with it so if it's customized the way you want everything minus the SMS bug, you can still have it... this worked for me).
2. Download the 2.2 Froyo stock Ruu: RUU_Supersonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.7.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
3. Run the RUU yes, this un-roots your phone, but it kicks it back to Froyo 2.2 which is WAY more stable with the current Cyanogenmod rom.
4. Download Unrevoked 3 flash recovery & run to re-root your froyo HTC Evo, make sure you're patient because it will reboot your phone a couple times.
5. You now have a rooted, stock Evo running 2.2 with fully working SMS, just kick back into recovery mode and load up your original rom (the Cyanogenmod 7 that didn't have working SMS) and everything should work fine. I had a big flood of text messages show up so heads up on that.
It's a little time consuming, but I now have Cyanogenmod 7 running 2.3.3 on my phone with everything working fine now (as far as I can tell). Hope this helps!
BTW I didn't know if I was allowed to post links to the actual files, so just google them... they aren't too difficult to find.

I could use a link to that stock froyo rom. The only results I get from Google lead me to rooted versions on xda. Thanks for all your help! Ready to fix this issue!
It won't let me post the link because I'm a n00b on this forum. Google search "unroot gingerbread evo" (minus quotes) and look for htcevohacks link and it's on step #4. That's where I snagged it from.
Found The RUU
Fixed the problem on the first try, now to root again!
Thanks for all the help!
Thanks for posting the problem... it made me bust ass to figure out a solution when I ran into the same issue. Glad I could help.
Here is a quick fix. Worked for me instantly.
http://www.evo4gforum.net/htc-evo-4g-general-discussion/sms-issue/
Same thing, but...
Ok... I know, I know, I am a noob. I have searched on xda, androidforums and just plain ol googled it and this seems to be the closest to what I need to do.
I have an HTC Evo 4g, sprint originally but it is flashed to Cricket. it was originally rooted and (flashed?) to CM 7 (not sure which 7.____) supersonic. I downloaded gosms and handcent while looking for something to type Emoji into a certain app I use. They weren't what I wanted so I uninstalled them and got Emoji Keyboard which was closer to what I wanted.
If it wasn't that, I did go into my file manager and on the SDcard only I deleted what appeared to be empty folders. the previous owner didn't wipe the sdcard when he sold me the phone, so I had a lot of app folders I don't use. I did not delete anything that said mms, sms, or anything outside of the SD card!
My phone has not received any sms for over a week and I use the phone for work, I am missing important texts from clients and friends and it's extremely annoying.
ok so I took it to the guy who flashed Cricket to it (the guy who rooted it is out of town) and he said it must have been deleted or overwritten somehow. He put another ROM on it - CM 9 - Deck - running ICS now. That did not fix the problem as I guess it must be in the basic application folder. so my question:
Since this was able to work for CM7, will it work for CM9 also?
I don't have google voice other than whatever came on the phone (or this version of CM9) and when I went to google voice website it said my carrier couldn't do the port. I was gonna see if getting google voice and then uninstalling it would work. so I disabled the google voice application but I'm not sure if that will mess with any other apps... didn't do anything with my problem.
I uninstalled the gosms and the handcent, but they still have folders on the SDcard visible at least.
I went to file manager and in the system/apps/mms.apk I reinstalled that but no visible difference. rebooted and now I have written this post.
also I do not have a backup of the original HTC Sense, or a backup of the CM7 I originally installed... I have a .exe of the CM9 I currently have.
I'm sorry to ramble. please help! I'm sick of searching through threads! :crying:

You could wipe the entire fat side of your sd card and it wouldn't affect sms or mms so deleting that stuff is not the problem. Messing around in your root directory is never a good idea if your not really comfortable with it. That may be the issue. Or the Cricket flash wasn't done correctly. If I were you I'd do a nand back up and start over. Flash a stock rooted rom and update the radios. See if that helps. You could try clearing your caches in recovery first too.
All of a sudden, across different ROMS and even in stock/rooted, even with Google voice, my phone isn't receiving any texts. No notifications, nothing. I can see them if I open G-Voice in the inbox, but not if I open Messaging or Go SMS, but this started before I even installed G-Voice. Before that, nothing.
It started yesterday. Anyone else having this problem?? Is Sprint having issues or something?
Haven't had any of those problems and I'm in sprint too

I just reflashed my radios and now I'm nandroiding back to stock/rooted to update Profile and PRL....
Hope that does it
EDIT
Looks like reflashing the radios worked. AS soon as I got booted into stock, a ton of messages started coming in
ok, so how does one go about reflashing the radios? did you do that and follow through with the nandroiding back to stock like you said?
I'm sorry. I have an HTC Evo 4g, rooted, originally had CM7 on it when the sms issue happened. took it to my friend and he put CM9 on it to see if going to a newer ROM would help. it didn't. he stated that I would probably have to go back to stock, reinstall sms from there (?) and then go back to a rom if I wanted.
I have been googling the issue and found this: forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?p=34337380#post34337380 which had directions to unroot and go back to Froyo, then reroot and reinstall the CM7 ROM. If I don't have to go through all that I would love not to, and this thread is much newer than that one.
also: I don't think I have a copy of my original HTC Sense or whatever base setup. not sure if the guy who rooted my phone for me saved one... also, don't think I have a copy of the CM7 I had installed. I do however have a .exe of the CM9 I currently have. Honestly, I like some of the settings on CM7 more than the CM9 I have, but oh well, I guess.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I have had this issue not receiving text messages randomly since about November 9th. I am on a Sprint Evo but it is flashed to Cricket.
Thank you for the help! I am learning a lot as I have been looking all this up, but more info would definitely help.
-Amber.
EDIT: Ok, updated the Radios with CM-EVO_Radio-2.15.00.12.19_PRI-2.33_WiMax_NV.zip. I did not nandroid into the stock rom though because I don't think I have it saved. I've found a few apparently-stock roms on xda but I read something else that said what looks like stock could just be another rom and not have all of the original settings refreshed. I am pretty sure that when I had CM9 put on my phone to try to fix the sms issue they did a clean wipe before they installed it, but I could be wrong.
I still have not received any of my still-missing texts. =( I can still send which makes me think it isn't necessarily that I'm flashed to cricket... any other help would be most welcome. thanks.

Are there in apps in existence that will restore a phone's proper mms/sms setting after being flashed?
Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot or if I broke some forum rule, I have never posted here but I have read a ton, thanks for all the help you guys have posted by the way.
First off I am not by any means an expert on computers and rooting but I have a decent understanding of the basics and can easily follow online instructions to root. I obviously have a d2att, I recently rooted it. I was happy with it unrooted for nearly a year but when samsung released the 4.3 update my phone really started sucking. Eventually I decided to root just to get a rom that functions better. I have been running gummy rom kit kat, I think its the nightly from march 10th, I have had no real issues other than some random reboots here and there. My mom begged me to root her d2att because she also was tired of the buggy samsung 4.3 update. I eventually rooted hers, even though I really didn't want to, knowing that I would get calls about every little issue and I would have to run and fix it... anyway
She has had issues that I have not had, she says that her phone randomly turns to silent periodically and causes her to miss calls, and she also says her bluetooth is intermittent. I don't use blue tooth at all so I wouldn't know but I have not had an issue with randomly going to silent. I have tried a lot of custom roms over the past 2 months since I rooted, including CM11, CM10 (all of them), AOKP, slimroms, of course Gummy, and a variety of others. All of them have had some major bug that is unbearable, from not connecting to wifi or not sending and receiving MMS, except for gummy which I have only had the random reboots.
Okay, so when I rooted mine originally I made a nandroid copy of the original rom after I rooted it, I didn't realize but somehow this nandroid file created to my internal memory instead of my sd card, so when I loaded a custom rom it was deleted. Like I said I'm far from an expert and that was a huge mistake. So anyway when I rooted my moms (same phone) I made a nandroid of her stock rom after the root and saved it to my computer, tablet, flash drive, external hd... etc.
Now that she is having problems with the absolute best ROM that I have found functionality wise, I thought I would restore her stock rom and debloat it, try my best to get it running better. I used her nandroid back up and restored my phone to it, only to get a ton of errors, everything was force closing. I kept getting the popups that "unfortunately ... has stopped" they were nonstop. Literally all I could do was hit ok and try to do the same with the next window, finally I get rid of those and the phone wouldn't run any apps or make any calls etc. So I rebooted to recovery and went restored my nandroid that I made earlier that day and all is fine with my phone again.
So here is my questions. First off when I made the nandroid of her stock rom I renamed the file STOCKROM, that way I would def know what it is and to not delete it. Will renaming a nandroid file make it not work correctly?
Also would a nandroid back up of her phone simply not work correctly on mine? I thought it would but it def does not. Maybe there is saved data that doesn't match my sim card.. I have no clue.
If I used this nandroid on her phone do you think it will work corretly?
If I messed up the file be renaming it, does anyone have a backup for stock that I can possibly use?
Last but not least, any recommendations for custom roms for d2att? I really just want speed, and no bugs
I am really sorry about the excessively long post, but I wanted to fill in the background info before I asked my questions, in case it was needed. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Again please forgive me if I broke a forum rule or posted in the wrong spot, I don't typically post on any forums ever, I just tend to read the posts of others. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL HELP, GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you decide to go back to stock 4.3, this thread should help. AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore
I've never had to use a nandroid and definitely have not tried one on a phone different from where it was made, but from reading in the past I don't believe that renaming it is causing the problem. I believe it is probably due to either trying it on a different phone or the file structure may have been changed when you moved it to the pc. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in regarding the nandroid on your phone. If it is still on her phone I think it may work.
thanks

Thanks for the tips. I know its still on her phone and the name hasnt been altered. I wanted ti try a debloated touch wiz for her. I havr liked Gummy but loaded a carbon jelly beam tonight. So far so good. Any suggestions for custom ROMs for attd2? I have had a time finding one bthats useful. I'm glad I have my gummy on nandroid. When I finish screwing around for her that's where I'll head back to I'm sure. Unless I find a sweet bug free ROM through a reccomendation. I'll check the link in the AM thanks for the reply.

I have been considering Intergalactic, but I haven't tried it yet.
Any link for that?

question
You MUST have the UCUEMJB or UCUEMJ2 bootloader and the UCUEMJB modem installed before proceeding or this ROM will not work properly. Your data and wifi may be broken if you do not do this first. These are available here: Bootloader and Modem Options

Quick question. I have only rooted and flashed cm toms and aokp. I haven't done anything specifically to change my boatloadsoor kernel. I really don't have the knowledge absolute that. The first step says what's listed above. What does this mean? Can you help? Thanks for the time and tips.
