i just flashed my ROM yesterday to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.9 and found out my 4g wasnt working anymore..only shows up as scanning so went ahead and flash a new radio baseband version 1.39.00.05.31... the 4G still doesnt work how can i fix that? if i unroot it back to factory setting with everything go back to normal? or my phone cant use 4g anymore.
To fix the 4G scanning problem, flash the latest radio and wimax. This is also dependent on which ROM you are running and whether that ROM works with 4G (WiMax) or not.
Out of the 3 things that can be flashed (ROM, kernel, and radio), what accesses the EPST settings of the phone? I know radio is affiliated with it, but my epst settings also changed when i flashed the kernel. I just want to know what not to do when i get my replacement incredible. Thanks.
Which epst settings specifically?
If you dial *228 to update prl and whatnot it will revert any manual changes. That is the only time my epst settings have changed.
I'm not really sure which settings but I know at least my PRL changes. When i dial *228 i get a message saying they cannot reprogram my phone.
It has happened to me twice. Once when i flashed my radio to 11.19 and also when i flashed the incrediblek kernel to MIUI-gold 1.1.14 ROM while i was using the stock radio.
I know it changes because my reception changes to extended network and is only 1x. If if update the PRL it goes back the verizon network and sometimes i'll get 3G.
I have never heard or experienced any changes in the epst setting when flashing any combination of roms, kernels, or radio.
Those settings are programmed when you dial *228 option 1 to activate your phone and option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List.
But, to answer your original question:
What accesses EPST?

I would say that all 3 would because those settings tell the phone how to communicate with vzw's network.
Haha okay thanks. I'll just be more careful and thorough when reading directions then. I think I forgot to wipe the dalvik caches when i would flash the kernel/radio if that makes a difference...
So my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Hello.....did that work for ya?

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Did he try updating his profile & prl

Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

i know this post is somewhat old. but Making a back up wont take hardly and extra time! always always make one unless you have 100% reliable roms already backed up.
Hey guys,
Wondering if you guys can help me out. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue here.
My wife's EVO gets no 3G. We both have EVOs and live in a 3G area. I rooted both phones. I rooted mine a while back before the OTA 2.3 update with Unrevoked, so my hboot is still the 2.10. I rooted my wife's EVO just last week with Revolutionary b/c she installed the OTA 2.3 update.
My wife had been complaining that her phone is slow with data connectivity even before I rooted the phone. Since the closest Sprint repair store is about 30 miles away, I wanted to try and fix her phone to avoid the drive. Plus I like troubleshooting and learning more about Android.
I have used various ROMs on my phone and currently like MikG 2.55. Both our phones are currently running MikG 2.55. Now with this ROM, I noticed that if your phone is not connected to 3G, it will give the 1X icon instead of the 3G icon. My wife's EVO doesnt connect to 3G where as mine does.
I've updated her PRL and Profile through system updates in the settings and still nothing. I did notice that her EVO is using a different radio than mine so i thought maybe falshing her radio might make a difference. Only this is, that I have been researching and a lot of people are saying not to flash radios b/c it can cause problems.
My phone has
Hboot 2.10.0001
PRL version 60681
PRI version 1.90_003
Baseband version (radio) 2.15.00.11.19
ROM MikG 2.55
My wife's phone has
Hboot (pre-root)2.16.0001 (rooted) 6.1xxxx
PRL version 60681
PRI version 2.15_003
Baseband version (radio) 2.15.00.08.08
ROM MikG 2.55
I believe the Hboot versions have no reason why she can't connect to 3G but not sure of the PRI version, radio version. I've also been thinking about flashing the radio/PRL/wimax combo but wanted to get the experts say on it first.
I do not want to mess up her phone b/c it took me a long while to convince her to switch over from her IPhone 3gs (she was having issues with her Iphone). I want her to start loving Android, as I do, over Iphone.
Please help,
Thank you
Try to toggle the airplane mode on and off about 3 times while 3g is on..see if that makes a different perhaps resets it. Can also turn of 3g a few times. I had this before and I am not sure what had happened, but i just messed with the 3g toggle and airplane mode then it started working.
Try to flash the new stock rom in the forum. Wipe the cache and dalvik maybe its just that? Did it ever work after you rooted the device?
I haven't tried the airplane mode trick. I will as soon as I get home.
When I flashed the new ROM I did wipe data/cache and dalvik cache.
When I first rooted her phone I flashed a different ROM (Rainy Day). We still noticed she had real slow data connection but it would show the 3G icon. It probably still shows even if its not in 3G. The Rainy Day ROM was too glitchy (I had it also for a day) so I flashed both our phones to the MikG 2.55 (which I had previously on my phone, very stable ROM). That is when I noticed her phone would stay with the 1X icon.
As soon as I try the airplone mode toggle 3G, I will report back to see if it fixed her problem.
Thanks sup3rn0th1ng
Any ROM I use, data roaming does not connect. I went back to completely stock ROM and it works fine. Yes I have data roaming enabled on each ROM. Any ideas?
Assuming your going from stock 4.0/4.1 to a newer 4.2 image, did you flash all of the most recent radio images when flashing the rom? I noticed a drop in the reliability of my signal when I went to 4.2 until the latest Toro+ radios got posted a few days back, now everything is back to normal. Also, did you update your PRL? Not sure if it would make a huge difference, but I always make a habit of updating the PRL & Profile whenever I flash a newer android version or when a new rom seems to be causing roaming signal issues - seems to help most of the time.

I've had this issue on every single radio that came out. I'm on the latest GH. PRL is up to date.
No one has this same issue?
I went out of town and lost phone and mms . I still had internet access. Keep turning off and on and turning data a
Off and on. It did pick up service eventually. Is this a radio issue?
