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all they did was a hard reset -- but when I got my phone back, I noticed the HBOOT was back at 0.97 and the radios were out of date, on an August 2010 version.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.

I just flashed my phone to OMJ's custom Verizon, now I have lost all service. Any advise on what settings I am missing?
Or is this a call into Verizon to do something? If so what do I say?
Thanks,
Scott
well hopefully when you updated the radio with a different rom you didn't let the customizations run.
if you did everything correctly you may just need to activate a different phone on your plan, get all your services working on that phone, then reactivate your xv6900, do the *228, remove battery thing and hopefully that'll work for you
No did not let the customizations run. It all went smooth. I did find this message....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416908&highlight=verizon
So I am calling Verizon....
Is there a way to not have to call Verizon? Will this happen with EVERY flashed ROM? Or is it only when you unlock with IMcoke's utility?
What a PITA!
Scott
Well, I hope this thread can help others...
I did have to call Verizon to reset. Now the gal who answered did sound cute, but it took 20 minutes of her reading her scripts until she escalated me to 2nd level support.
10 minutes there and they did the A-Key update....
So all is working..
But more importantly, what causes this? Will it happen with every ROM or just the first you flash?

I know I have to call in every time I Master Reset my stock XV6900 so I imagine it's the same issue with a new flash as well. Something about this phone makes them manually update it on their end I guess.
You should only need to do this if you update the Radio. But, I've flashed two radios to date, and only on the first did I need to call VZW. I've flashed quite a few ROMs and had to call maybe twice.

I helped a buddy upgrade his Verizon XV6900 radio to the sprint radio. We ran into all kinds of problems with his phone. No internet, phone searched for thirty minutes and when it got a signal would sometimes randomly shut off. We fixed everything by logging onto the Verizon website and activating one of his old phones. We took the battery out of the touch before hand because two signals equal no good. We activated his old phone for about ten minutes and then reactivated his touch. Everything worked fine afterward. He had a new akey and I believe his dmu keys were reset. Hope this helps, but activating an old phone on the verizon website is a bit of a pain.
Thanks for the info everyone...
Hope this helps someone else out.

um.... what if I did let the customization run? after I used the Sprint Radio Upgrade. Does the phone now think it's a Sprint phone? It won't even let me do the *228 anymore. Someone mentioned having success using a radiorefurbish.exe? does that make sense?
Thanks!
I'm no pro, but re-flash, and make sure to soft reset before the customizations. Not a big deal.
Scott
I have the same problem with internet. I too accidentally let the first flash run customization. I then re flashed the phone with a bunch of different roms and still cant get internet working, nor *228. I can still make phone calls just no internet. Can someone recommend with a link a good rom for verizons xv6900 that would solve this problem?

You left some important details like,
The ROM & what exactly the error is.
Well the first rom was the oem sprint rom. I did this mostly for the gps function. The error is when i try to use data it says its dialing #777 then after about a min or 2 its says it could not connect. Ive tried entering my username and pass as someone suggested, but i actually never had one there before so I didn't see how that was going to help. Needless to say it didnt. I also have a problem when i try to use *228 to update my phone. It says it failed. Im mostly concerned with internet atm. By the way i really appreciate your fast reply!
I also ran the verizon carrier cab as was recommended in some posts but no dice there either.

First, if you haven't done it yet, enter the username and password. After you flash a new ROM, the fields are blank, but the internet will work, but at some point, it will start to fail becuase of it being blank.
If that doesn't solve it, I suggest flashing a new Radio and ROM, I personally suggest using one from OMJ. I'm currently using his 3.09 Clean ROM, and it runs smooth. And after using the aGPS hack, something you can do after you resolve this, I get a faster GPS lock inside my home or office, than someone with an in-car model.
which radio do you suggest Ive tried 3.42.30 and 3.42.50 both give me same problame. Im flashing omj's 3.03.01 clean as I type this.
I'm using 3.42.50 right now, and so far it works great.
ok so then I have both radio and rom installed and still no data. any further suggestion? Is there anyway of restoring verizon data setting to original defaults? I think the sprint rom must have changed something specific to the data settings. Ive tried everything to revert them back with no luck
What's the link to the ROM that you originally flashed and run the cusomizations.

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..

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?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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
Ok so the other day my pictures just stopped downloading all of a sudden, it was sometime after installing Google voice whether that was a coincidence or not i don't know, i have since uninstalled it since i didn't like it anyways so o well. But anyways, so after reading tons of topics on the problem. The answers i came across the most where,
it is sprints fault call them
have to be on wifi
cant be on wifi
to many messages
or go back to factory reset
and umm others i probably forgot.
All of these had varying degree of success for people suggesting them. However, Non but the factory reset worked for me. So while i am already back at the beginning i decided to update my phone to htc 3.70 or whatever it is. So after getting everything updated, i learned i could use clockwork to recover just the data part of my nand, which made me happy, but i figured it might mess up MMS again... which it did. The easy solution is to go back to factory ( or my nand before the restore of data) BUT i would really like to keep all my data. There is just so much to reset if i don't x-x. So i was wondering if anyone might know what causing the pictures not to download and if there is a way to fix it without having to lose all my data.
Oh yeah it not just downloading i can't send out picture messages either.
If all else fails i will just resort back to before the data restore and go about resetting everything the hard way just not looking forward to it.
Thanks for your time
and if i missed a thread somewhere that answers this sorry i was already banging my head against the wall at all the stuff i had already looked at.
Hmm no answer, lovely, guess it is back to the chalkboard for me.
i cant get mine working either. tried cm6 and fresh and also deleted/renamed telephony.db file and nothing.
bleh this is pissing me off

I can get mine working will just have to start all over on apps and setting and everything with no garentee it won't happen again.
Yeah it is very frustrating.
well i tried it with a full wipe and then fresh install of Fresh. that didnt work for me either.
some things ive tried that didnt work:
re-provisioning using ##3282#
full wipe and new install of fresh and cm6.1.2
deleting the telephony.db
ugh
I've been having this same problem for about a week now. It started on my Moment and continues since I got the Evo on Monday.
It's aggravating the hell out of me....
call sprint. i called sprint today, to complain, about slow speeds in the area and there was a recorded message saying they are aware of a problem with the messaging system and are working on it. that was earlier thursday 'round 9.30am est.
Just confirms what I've thought, that's it's a Sprint network issue and not a device or apk issue...
It is a sprint network problem as of lately, that is why HipKat had problems after he switched.
Btw Charlie what rom are you using and did you call sprint?
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.
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. =/

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.
