Here's my story: I had the exact same problem with my evo! I rooted it and I would flash ROMS like there was no tomorrow. Sometimes I would flash 4 or 5 different ROMS in a day. I tweaked all the settings, like 3g speeds, sd card fix, and any other ones you can think of. I messed with every possible setting and changed stuff and even flashed different kernels every now and then. Well, it started out by just not receiving a call every once in a while and then progressively got to the point of not receiving ANY calls at all. It wouldn't even ring or have a missed call notification. My husband would stand right next to me and try calling me to no avail. Frustration is alive at that point!I could make calls, connect to the web, and send text messages with no problems whatsoever. I had tried every tech support troubleshooting step that you could think of, even changing the MSID number. Well, after talking one last time to sprint, we both agreed that I needed a new phone. And my new phone is en route! Of course, now that I am getting a new one, I have to send the other one back to them- So I have to UNROOT it, right? RIGHT! I did just that and LOW AND BEHOLD, I am receiving ALL calls, now. But I'm still gonna let them send me that new one. I read somewhere that using an older ROM with updated radios or WIMAx and vice versa could be the culprit of not receiving calls.
Hope this helps anyone out there that is having that problem!!!
I had a similar problem with my EVO 0003 in that it would not receive calls. It was working fine then one day it stopped receiving calls. I tried reinstalling roms and restoring a nandroid backup but neither of those fixed it. I also tried updating my data profile which did not help. The last thing I tried which I believe fixed it was reflashing the PRI. I was using PRI 1.77 and flashed the newer PRI 1.90 and it started to receive calls again. I then flashed back to 1.77 because it seems to help the battery life on my phone. Since then(one month ago) I have no problems. Flashing a PRI is done via recovery. In Recovery select flash zip and choose a PRI, then select reboot. It will then go to a different screen an install the PRI. Do not pull the battery or mess with the phone while it is installing the PRI or you will brick your phone. After installation it will reboot or return to recovery (can't remember which) where you can reboot(if in recovery) the phone into your ROM.

Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:

good luck man, hope this helped!
I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
Hi guys, I have tried to search for a thread on this but wasn't able to find one.
So after installing the latest CM 7, for some reason my phone has been unable to receive calls. I can *MAKE* calls perfectly fine, but zero calls are coming in. Wifi and GPS both work fine. I notice the 3G/service bars do work, but go blank for long periods of time sometimes too.
I've wiped all data dozens of times, did a nandroid restore back to Myn's RLS3, flashed radios again, wiped again... still unable to receive calls. I've tried to update profile and PRL at each step of wiping, but nothing works.
Now, I'm on the latest stock rooted ROM. Do I need to un-root and take this back to the store?
Anyone have this happen to them? I would really prefer not to have to go to Sprint...
In case anyone else has this issue in the future: a quick trip to the Sprint store fixed my problem. They said all they did was a hard reset, but I think it was more complicated than that. I didn't have access to a land line, but in the future I'm going to try to do it with customer service over the phone.
Thanks for all the (non-existent) help XDA.
ive been using cm7 since it came out. works great, no problems. havent flashed anything new or made any changes to my phone is the past few weeks. i wake up this morning and can't send texts or make calls. i thought maybe i needed to update my profile. i wiped my phone and flashed a sense rom and my profile wouldn't update. data wont connect either. so i tried to reset it so it do the hands free activation again, and now its totally ****ed. cant make or recieve calls or anything. it erased my number and stuff from the epst menu.
does anyone know how to fix this without me having to take it back to sprint?
You did a full reset and wipe? Maybe you can unroot it and go back to the stock rom or flash a backup. But if you go to sprint they may not help you because your phone is rooted. Well good luck

Ok, so I've been using Fresh 3.5.0.1 for a while now, and recently I noticed something odd. My signal stregnth would differ greatly from a stock evo. Mine would show no signal at times when the stock evo showed it had full signal. This was a minir inconvienience at times, but recently I screwed something up, and I don't know how to fix it. I used Fresh updater to update my phone to Fresh 4.0b3, and after the update I had no signal at all. I've tried everything I can find to try to fix this, and like an idiot I didn't do a nandroid backup before flashing. I'm really stuck here. I went back to 3.5.0.1, have radio 2.15.00.11.19, PRI 1.90_003. Does anybody have any ideas? What went wrong? As of now, I can't make or receive calls.
Update: I just opened up GMail, and I had 5 bars and 3G, and it checked for new email. about 20 seconds later, no signal, 3G is grayed out, and I can't make or receive calls.
Are you sure it's just your phone & not Sprint? From what I've heard they have had outages recently.
If it is your phone, try doing the fix mentioned here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
Also try downgrading your PRI. If that doesn't work, you can try flashing the stock rom or unrooting & returning to stock. If it still persists at that point, I would take it back to Sprint for a replacement.
I think Sprint may have something to do with it, I've had to call them to reset my profile once already, but my girlfriend has a stock evo, and she always has full signal in our area. I'll give the steps in the link you provided a try. Thanks for the help.
I had this problem twice before....each time I did a factory reset in settings then rebuilt with sprint lovers rom image then went back to the rom I was using at the time..hope this helps..
I don't know exactly what the problem was, but 30 minutes with tech support got it working again. I think I'm going to leave it as is for now, and wait until Fresh 4.0 comes out of beta. Or, I'll just wait until I get my hands on the EVO 3D
Thanks for the support, its comfoting to know that there is a resource (these forums) where people are willing to help others with their problems. I've done reserch using XDA, but never posted anything. Thanks for the help!
Hi,
I recently, flashed a bunch of different ROMS and modems to try to fix my original service issues on my T999L.
Being a noob that I am, I went from 4.2 and numerous other versions, and a couple ROMs had service, but most didn't. I thought I could fix it with flashing a new modem but that killed my service completely (IMEI null/No SIM card)!
SInce then, I flashed back to Stock ROM (using ODIN) and regained SIM recognition, but now my service sends the same text over 10 times, and I keep receiving the same texts messages. Even on wifi, I noticed that I am having issues (when I download apps it only gets to 90% and never finishes).
Does this mean I may have screwed up my EFS files? I never backed them up, and now I am in stock ROM with really strange service issues.
Will flashing a new modem help, or is this how I reached this point in the first place?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
