First of all, if you rooted your phone(seeing as you have vaelpak i assume you did) how could you not pick up a few things along the way??
Secondly, there are literally hundreds of stickies, posts and other forms of information on XDA. i know, sometimes it's faster to ask a question, but this question is something that REALLY should be researched first.

if you have the keys then your fine. download clockwork app from appmarket and then have it install alternate ra recovery then boot to bootloader (vol down+power) and do nandroid backup and make sure you check the wimax box. now your keys are backed up. then try going to an earlier nandroid backup assuming you made one and see if 4g works. if its still not working use the search function for the fix your wimax thread and follow the directions there

Are you sure 4G is available where you're at? (not intending to be a [email protected])

Did you root the phone yourself or did some one else do it for you? I'm only asking because if you did it yourself using one of the many guides found all over the internet or youtube, you should know the answers to most of these questions already. I am by no means and expert but I did root it myself last Thursday and have loaded a couple different roms and kernels. My advise to you is read, read, read. If you're still not sure, read again. Its really not tjat hard. Good luck with your 4G though...

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

BigPapaBang well said. I bought my Evo back in November, but I didn't root the thing until a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to make sure I understood enough to do things right. Even now I still tread carefully. I decide on what I want to do, read and read some more, and then formulate a plan on how I'm going to proceed.
My advice to the OP, please stop and read some more.

First, make a nandroid backup. Then, back-up all your apps/data using titanium backup and just wipe everything (data, cache, etc..) and reflash the rom. if 4g works, restore all your apps and data and you should be good to go. if not, then try flashing another rom. i'd recommend mikfroyo, fresh, or myns if you want a sense rom, and cyanogen 7 wimax if you want an AOSP rom. if your 4g STILL isn't working after that, then make sure your area actually has 4g coverage (use a friends phone or something, just because the sprint site says your city has 4g doesn't mean the area you're in definitely has it). if that doesn't work, then you have a problem.

Download wimax checker from the market. Its a free app and it will check and see if your wimax keys are still intact.

What does today's Clockwork Mod update do for us?

Koush twittered that we had a treat coming our way last night. I downloaded the latest update to Clockwork Mod and noticed that when we select a recovery for the Epic it now asks if you have manually installed a version of Recovery and if so it asks what version. Basically, I want to know what this does for us. I know previously if you tried to install a rom from the Rom Manager, it would fail do it automatically and you would have to manually do everything from the recovery. Does this change make the Rom flashing process automated?
v4.0.0.8 is the version I'm talking about.
Well it obviously doesn't get people to post in the right section...

You obviously like to pick and choose the rules you follow. Isn't "no flaming" part of the guidelines to posting?
But I'm sure you don't need to read the rules atop that high horse of yours.
Last time I checked stating an observation wasn't flaming.
In fact you're actually getting closer to flaming by trying to directly insult me if I want to be pedantic. But I'm not going to argue with somebody on the internet.
Hopefully we can get an official recovery for the epic. I love my wife's recovery amon ra. I wish we could get that.

[Q] Wimax scans but wont connect, Please Help!

Ok i have read through almost every page on here and can't find anything, so if ive missed something please direct me to the right sport. I have an evo currently running "Kings Sense GB TWO POINT THREE V2" i have tried about 30 different roms, and have even gone back to stock. I have hardware version 0003 and hboot 2.10 if that matters, I have my wimax keys, i have updated my profile countless times, i have deleted the xml wimax file and updated it to replace it, i am in a great 4g area, i have updated my radios and am about to put a bullet in my brain. Any help that anyone could give would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Update: My Wimax radio would not ever update from any zip files, i had to do it through a PC36IMG. Thanks for your help guys.
Make sure WiFi is disabled. Disable 4G from the settings menu Ans not from a widget. Shut down your device. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot to your homescreen. Go into the settings menu and select 4G. Also make sure Mobile Data is checked.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
ok ive done that, and i tried it on two different roms and even restored to a backup that i had that i knew that 4g worked on and it still does the same thing
How about Wimax key checker ? Get one and test your key's...
Flash a rooted ODEXED 3.70 stock rom, update your profile from the settings menu and then call Sprint. They may be able to troubleshoot your problem from their end.

i think i may have found the problem, but im not sure ive tried to flash different wimax radios and i checked and it hasn't been changing the radio its still on 25043 would that make it not work?

Shouldn't matter. And how are you checking your wimax radio version? I'm sure if you flashed it, it's updated. You can't see your wimax version from any menus, it requires some adb command to check, if memory serves me correctly. I would do as someone already suggested first, and download the wimax key checker from the market. The dev on the app is JoeyKrim. If you have your RSA keys, and you're still not connecting, then before you troubleshoot any further, I would call Sprint and make sure there's not a 4g outtage in your area. The one time my 4g broke, I spent hours and hours troubleshooting. Then I drove a few miles away, and 4g worked. It was down in my area for about 2 weeks, for whatever reason. If you can't connect in any other 4g areas, and Sprint says there are no problems with 4g in your area, then continue troubleshooting.
make sure if you are on a custom kernel thats not the problem
What am I missing?!?!
Hopefully someone can help me here. My problem is I cannot connect to wimax. So I tried to check to see what wimax version I have so I tried using Android Terminal Emulator as someone else posted. Well I did and it turns out that I am missing something...not sure what though. Here is a screen shot of the Emulator.

Before flashing RLS 5, what rom did you have installed? If it was the stock rom, did it have software version 3.70? If not, you may need to flash the wimax update from Calkulin's thread. I don't have the link handy.

[ROM] 6.01.605.05 Stock OTA ROM (6/27/2012)

So after a long wait and a lot of people asking about it. Here is the full 6.01.605.05 Verizon Wireless OTA. Packaged with the new kernel. The only thing that has been done to it is it is rooted, busybox installed and init.d support enabled. This ROM is still odexed and I've uploaded 2 versions.
1 is full stock with all the apps as if you just got it (with the exception of SU being added.
The other has most of the VZW apps removed.
Feel free to use this ROM as you wish. Use it as a base or whatever. There may be add-ons at some point but I'm not promising them

[Q] How are people losing IMEIS?

I want to root and flash cm10 on my galaxy s3, but I hear their might be some complications. I want to avoid all complications.
nobody know why we lose IMEI when flashing from ROM to ROM, its just bad luck i think, me myself been flashed more than 100+ but never happend to me.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I've never seen that happen.
But you should do a nandroid backup. If you are concerned.
I never do, but it doesn't hurt.
It's pretty straightforward.
Root with the right software and files. Odin is your friend. All, available in the stickies of the dev section.
I think people from other forums try to make it sound scary to root the s3.
Easiest phone I ever rooted. I have a cell phone store.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I lost my imei in my first flash on the s3, actually in pretty sure it's because i chose the wrong .pda. I was in the international version lol. I'm on cm10 now.

I was just abke to fix my imei after loosing it , after about 20 flashed roms. My 4 stopped working , but after mad searching and help from xda, members I was able to restore it. If u wanna flash check this thered out and follow all instructionons and u can restore ur phone if u ever mess it up.

IMEI numbers are lost when you mix and match the PDA files or Modems of one version with another or if you flash any other ROM not intended for your phone. ALthough sometimes this doesn't happen. I lost my IMEI for my Galaxy S(international) but thankfully flashing a Stock Rom restored it. That is why people recommend doing a NANdroid back up or atleast backing up ur efs folder.(though i never do )

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that just a nandroid will restore your imei. If it were really that simple, I don't see why there would have been so much time devoted to coming up with a specific method to backup and restore your imei.

Is there a fullproof way of not losing imei?
I would recommend using efs pro and back up your imei..its happend to me and if you dont have a backup you could be in a pickle!

Nandroid backup will not backup your imei or efs file..you need a special program..and by just making a copy if your efs will not work because there is a file signature. .

for me a simple flashing of my stock rom sufficed..or else normally you could do an efs backup and restore. well for nandroid backup never actually did one,but most people told me it was a solution so i assumed it to be one.
Does this only happen to the galaxy s3 also? Or do other phones lose IMEIs when flashing.
I'm starting to think the risks outweigh the rewards.

If you're too afraid then just stick with stock. I've lost mine before but I was able to restore it easily thanks to the amazing devs xda has

How exactly did you lose yours? I'm getting that its random every time, but there must be something specific that is making people lose their IMEIs.
