Help a fellow evo user out

Basically, I'm not getting any data at all.(on mobile network)
Originally, the issue started with error no.1012 when I tried updating my profile/prl. I researched on the issue and read that it means that the network was not communicating to my device properly. The problem with that, my data was working.
I called tech support because from my readings, a few things on Sprints side needed to changed. Well after that, tech support could not do anything but recommend that I take it into the store and have my device wire provisioned. So...I took it in and explained what I was going through. The tech said he was able to tell that it was rooted and that the other tech would not touch it if he knew that it was rooted. He said if I unrooted, that they would gladly fix the issue. I asked if he knew what the wait was. He went to the back with my phone and came back and said it would be an hour from when I unroot. I took my phone and to my surprise, was actually on a 4G network. Cool, but when I switched back to 3g, it will no longer work. I'm getting error 1012.
Taking the phone in for a replacement wouldn't be so bad, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to root the new phone.
So can anybody please help fix my issue so that I may keep the phone.that has my virtual heart. Thanks guys, if you can help, it means a lot.

If you are having these issues, first nandroid. Then completely backup everything with Titanium.
Then data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, re-flash radios and ROM.
Then if you still have problems, let Sprint replace it. It's no biggie to root a new phone.

OK so you need to keep calling tech support track who you speak to. Never speak twice to a techie unless they provide help. Never accept answers as final. Start asking questions on plan termination.
Find a better sprint store go at opening time, not lunch. Allow the techie to have time to access your phone, ie let other customers go first.
You know this though. So if you can't get in to the sprint network for data, then ask for supervisors while on with tech support. Insist it's THEIR problem. Hell put your ten dollars a month to work.

it deals with the password the phone uses and it's failing to login and has a reset timer, the techs can't reset the sprint network internal timer for when the password fails and you get locked out, waiting 24hrs lets is timeout and an immediate profile update syncs your phone with the correct login/password

Have you tried re-activating it? Dial ##3272# -> Edit Mode -> Enter MSL -> Data Profile -> Menu -> Restore
It should reboot and reactivate when it boots back up, let it update everything but firmware.

Guess ill do that. I have tried everything else. If not, ill try what was posted above yours solution.
And yes, I have tried many times to reset my data profile. I think ill ask for a wired provision again, but this time with a stock Rom, so they actually look at it.

Malware? UpgradeDroid.apk

So my wife was on her Evo when suddenly the browser opened and started downloading something called DroidSpeedUpgrade.apk. The website I traced and it gave me a forbidden 403 from my PC, but did allow me a DL of the apk from phone. I did not install, look at the crazy permissions! Any idea what this is, or how it opened on my wifes Evo (cm7)?
Thanks
Below is the APK, I wouldnt install it, screen shot is the permissions...

I would backup all apps [except that], then do a fresh re-install of CM7.

That too is true, but hoping he did that already. Though either way, I firmly believe she should do a clean install again; at least go through the last 10 apps she installed, and like said, check the permissions.

If I were to wipe fully with a clean install of a rom, and not log in to Google or restore anything, what damage do you think this could do if I installed it out of curiosity?
I know it could get my phone number, info and whatnot. That alone would probably keep me from doing it... but what's the worst that you think it could do?
If I had an unactivated Android phone then I might do it.

Your curiosity is like mine, I am tempted to just install it, lol. See if the app can be found in app drawer or what, if I can do anything with it, and so on. My wife doesnt have any credit card junk stored on phone, but has a bank app, so that is all bad by itself! Wait, Amazon Market has credit card linked to it, so in theory they can get password and get credit card info from Amazon. On top of bank passwords, all bad! Maybe I am being paranoid, but this rouge apk seems to have to many permissions for it to just install like that.
I have a unactivated LG Optimus S here, I will install it on that and report my findings
edit...INSTALLED!!!
OK, it is just a Task Manager, on the outside that is. What it does is mask itself as a battery saver/task killer. Meanwhile it sends and recieves text messages that cost YOU $9.99 each! Says a minimum of one per week will be sent and or received. If works with either Sprint or Tmobile, according with terms and conditions, which are carefully hidden. For the average user its gonna fool them, the app by itself would not be so bad so one would think they got a awesome app. Meanwhile your Sprint bill is racking up $9.99 texts, I guess you can get them reversed by sprint. But if you have autopay set up it may take a bit to realize you bill payment was a couple hunderd over normal cost Just be on the lookout, the app may do more than what I found, I only scratched the surface of it.

It has permission to change your settings, so it could turn data back on. It can also read your phone information - phone number and such - so if it can send this information out then it can definitely do damage.

If we go over there, we are terrorists. :-D as I just went way off subject...
okay okay. don't install it. final. and why would you install something that you know for a fact is a phone virus? How stupid is that? We need a platform that can tests apks OUT OF A REAL phone environment. like a virtual mobile computer like vmware.

[Q] Most stable ROM with no FC's (

Hi guys,
I'm new to the Samsung Epic 4g and looking for the most stable ROM that's available. Here's why:
This phone does not belong to me. I dated this girl for a few months and before I broke up with her, I told her she should let me root her phone. She did (we put on the ACS Frozen ROM) and she loved it, until a few weeks later it started giving her "Google Services Frameworks" Force closing errors.
Problem was, we had broken up. Because she doesn't know anyone else that knows how to root phones and put on ROMs, she has very awkwardly called me up every few weeks and asked me to fix her phone—because her phone is my responsibility now!
What I'm looking for is the ROM that won't have any FC's and that I won't have to touch for at least another six months. Her stock ROM was no good either (which is why she wanted me to root the phone), fwiw.
I have a Mac and tried the Heimdall method but that didn't seem to work. Basically, I want to be done messing with her phone so I don't have to hang see her again! It was a bad breakup.
Any advice greatly appreciated! I need to flash by tonight.

Re flash and turn journaling on. Should keep her away for a while
Posted from my pedo van.

Honestly if you broke up and don't want to deal with it just go to stock. Otherwise you are on the hook forever. When gb goes ota guess who she calls. Just put it back to stock.

This^^^^^^^^ and go to settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to Google Services Framework, click it and hit clear data. Show this to her and tell her any app that FCs can be fixed this way and walk away. Unless you want to also teach her how to do a nand backup and restore to really be able to walk away.

Thanks guys. I actually ended up bricking the phone with Heimdall-the USB port on my IMac couldn't recognize the phone and all hell broke loose after that-so she and I are splitting the cost of a Nexus S.
At least I have her off my back now. Thanks again for the advice.

Friend lost 3g after activation

My friend at work bought a second evo 4g, and brought it to me to root and rom for him. Rooted with revolutionary, no problem. Flashed cm7 and miui on there, and made backups of both so he can flash back and forth between them to see which he likes.
So everything up to there was fine. He went onto the sprint site this morning and did the esn swap to the rooted evo, and does not get any data (3g icon) now. He had already swaped to it after he bought it, while it was still stock, to make sure it worked, and data worked just fine. Then went back to his original evo, and gave me the new one to work on for him.
Is there a data fix that can be done? Or should he call sprint to activate it instead of doing the esn swap on the website?

I think it'd be best to go to / call sprint and have them activate to alleviate any problems.

Did he activate while on CM7 or miui? YOu need to be on a stock rom when activating. I would just tell him to get on a stock rom, and call sprint and have them activate/esn swap one more time. It's highly possible the activation just didnt go all the way through their system.

No, your reading correct. He wanted to try it himself, that way if he messed something up, it wouldn't be on his daily phone. He then had trouble rooting and brought it to me to fix. Had to unroot with ruu, turn s on, then re root and flash.

Any sense 2.0 rom SHOULD work. However, to make it easier, its better to just flash a stock rom, just in case.

Ok. qbking77 does a lot of videos for my epic that are very easy to follow, and did a few for the evo as well. He did one for the kingdom synergy rom a couple months ago, so I sent my buddy the link and told him to try that one. Think that would work ok even though its 3.0? I'll dig through the threads for a stock 2.0 as well. Any specific one I should look for? Thanks

i'm basically having the same problem with my phone. unfortunately, on order to get the 3g back, you need to un-root. there is some kind of issue with communication with the sprint servers when activating the mobile network, even if your running a stock rom. so the only way to gain access from the mobile network is to go to a sprint store and have them un-root your device. if anyone has found another route, without having to un-root, please explain how

Absolutely not true. You do NOT have to unroot to fix a 3g problem, just be on a Sense rom. Rooting has absolutely NOTHING to do with signal problems or activating.

HAAHA no, sprint doesn't un-root devices. YOU rooted it, YOU un-root it.

Umm, just be on a Sense rom, preferrably stock. Then you can call sprint and have them re-activate or re-provision the phone. Again, you can absolutely do this while rooted. My last three phones, I rooted them out of the box before I even activated them.

[Q] Nitro HD think I broke my data

Ok so first off, been using XDA for a while now to root various things, you guys have always got me what I need to get things figured out on my own, I have never before this day had to request help and for that, you guys are legendary.
Now I am semi newbi here, I know whats what for the most part but I have a hard time holding information in my short term memory so I am sorry if I miss little things
On to the problem!
So I got an AT&T LG Nitro HD P930, on ebay, I then spent the better part of a day rooting it, took me a lot of work but I eventually got it rooted and all that jazz, everything was going great... but everything changed when the fire nation... wait no... when I put CM9 on it, that crashed quite often, so I put on CM11 to check that out, no Data, so I rolled back one to CM10.2, and still no Data.
Could I have missed something?
Edit:
I thought at one point the ImeI might have gotten pushed out, but I double checked that and it is there, I have noticed at times I look at the service and it says I have 4 bars and an E next to it like back in the 2G days, but rarely and I have not had it stay long enough to test the data but if I get the chance I will edit and leave what happened here.
Also to note, I do still get random crashes but I can live with that.
P.S.S. XDA Devs are the shiznit, thank you guys for many years of amazing rom's and HP Touchpad support, my tablet is nothing without you guys!

Potential fix
Ok so admitadly I may have jumped the gun on not finding anything via the search function, I did find something digging around that might help me out. just incase anyone else checks this thread due to the same issue I will post back here if it worked, I found the fix on this thread

I had read something about that and had a backup of my APN but it turns out you cant flash APN data after 4.0+ or some such nonsense.
In the end I managed to get the root to take hold after restoring it from unbrick up, now I have CM9 on it and it is working just shiny. so this thread can be deleted or closed or whatnot.
If anyone would like a step by step on what I did I would be glad to post it but I doubt anyone is interested.

Good thing you got it working. And CM9 was so nice and stable for the Nitro. I often think of reverting back to it just for its reliability.

Its been a while since I did it but I will see if I cant gather all the resources I used, but in the end what I had to do was re-brick it, reverted back to stock everything to recover and re-rooted it all again, then I just skipped CM11 and went back to CM10. Now I am in a whole new **** storm haha but thats a story for another time.
