Hey guys. I can't stand this anymore. I have tried everything I know. I REALLY need help. I use this phone for work and school project communication and it's crucial to my day to day activities.
-Myns Warmtwopointtwo RLS5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471)
-Evo_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMax_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003 (This is the all in one radio thing linked in Myns thread)
-StockKernel.32
Problem: I am getting intermittent connection. Sometimes my bars on the top will go out completely in a place where I KNOW there is connectivity. It is at random intervals. It will come back after a restart or after I switch from airplane mode and back out again. This is not a permanent solution and it keeps happening to me. It's happened on other ROMs as well!
Things I have tried\not tried:
Installed other ROMS (Cynogen is the only ROM I DID NOT have this problem with but then I lose my GPS capability when I use it...I NEED gps capabilities)
Cleared all the Davlik Cache, Cache settings, then installed a ROM
Installed in ROM, Kernel, radios in different orders. (What is the right order to do it? - I have done MANY different orders all still failing to fix this problem)
Tried other Kernels (Mostly the ones in the ROM threads recommended sections)
I have NOT tried different radios yet (I dont know which to use or where to get them.. or compatibility with ROM I'm using) - Would trying older Radios even do anything?? I don't know...
I have NOT tried installing HBoot updates yet..I noticed it in Caulkins radios thread. What is that? Should I install the latest Hboot?
Hard resetting
Using a different recovery (I am using the one that starts with an "A" now...forgot the name) - I changed it then I used this new Recovery to clear settings..problem still exists
PLEASE help me. I can't stand this anymore.

Well, you've certainly tried quite a bit to get this fixed huh? I experienced the same thing a while back, but it wasn't on Myns rom. I ended up downgrading my radio and PRI, and that seemed to have make the issue better. You should try downgrading to 1.77 pri, and the radio that ends in 09.01. You will be fine on the older radios on Myns, you just cannot use the stock htc 15 kernel that comes with the rom. You need to flash a different kernel right after you flash the rom, before you boot up. That'd be what I would try first. Good luck.

Most, if not all, of us experience the same thing. I tend to think it is network related. You can download and install the Roam Control app from the market. It will give you the option to "roam only", usually on Verizon's network where coverage is almost everywhere. I use it here at home where I basically have little to no signal in regard to voice services.

I agree Doug, that it could be network related. It still happens to me (not as frequently, though) after downgrading my radios. It's annoying none the less!

Like you, I have no doubt that the latest baseband is also playing a role in regard to poor signal strength. Hopefully, it will be rectified when Gingerbread is released.

Oh I need to flash a different Kernel? I tried downgrading older radios but it kept giving me an error...is that why?
Those of you saying it happens to most of us...I never experienced the problem after 1 month of going to Cyanogen ROM...I had it for a full month or longer with no problems at all. Never went to 0 bars where I knew I had signal. Now it happens every day. Before Cyanogen I had the problem and now after. I just switched away from it because I needed GPS.
Keep in mind that it has been reported that Sprint is updating/upgrading their system for LTE. Don't hesitate to call Sprint and see if they can do anything from their end.

When I try to install an older radio I get "Multiple firmware images, cant store radio image, failure at line 2."
I already installed a different kernel. So I am not on stock htc anymore

Make sure you do not have any PC36IMG.zip files on the root of your SD card. Download a fresh copy of the radio and PRI you want to flash and place them on your SD card. Afterwards, upgrade to or flash amon RA v2.3. After upgrading or flashing your recovery, wipe the cache & dalvik cache and then flash the PRI. You will reboot and see the radio update screen. Be patient. When it is done, you will reboot into recovery and see the words "clearing cache". Re-wipe the dalvik cache and then flash the radio. Like before, you will see the radio update screen. Again, be patient and by no means do you pull the battery. When it is done, you will reboot into recovery and again see the words, "clearing cache". Go ahead and select reboot and then you will boot into your homescreen.

Right after I rebooted right at that part where I put an arrow and pressed the button to reboot the screen looked ugly. Like scratchy pink and white lines across it...
It rebooted fine and all and I will test this for a few days hoping everything is fine but that screen looked bad...is that how it's suppose to look?

Yes, it is just graphical noise from the kernel used in RA 2.3. I will PM you the version I use. It does not contain the graphical noise. I have amon RA v2.3 HAUS MOD. A different kernel was used. Check your PM momentarily.
Thank you! I will keep you updated in this thread with what happens and if the problem continues. Really appreciate your help.
OT: That method you told me to flash a new PRI and radio...is that the way your always suppose to do it? (I use to just straight after installing a ROM flash PRI and Radio right after. Not clearing/wiping anything in between)

Your way is perfectly acceptable. I just follow the golden rule: Prior to flashing ANYTHING, wipe the cache & dalvik cache. Doing so can save you unnecessary troubleshooting....

Sooo, I just tried flashing Damage Control 3.5 a few hours ago and since then my phone has been absolutely horrid to me. I tried flashing the PC36IMG.ZIP but it wont let me for some odd reason. I've tried flashing different roms (as long as different radios). All to no avail, the only things I can access is the main recovery screen and the Clockwork recovery screen.
If anyone can help me out here so I don't have to pay the $100.00 claim to get a new phone I will gladly donate to XDA for all they've done thus far.

Shoot, well I guess the best I can do is try to reformat my card and go from there. I'll report back with my findings.
I think i can help, but i might be a bit off since there not enough info on the post.
Anyhow, you will have to:
1) Download a new Image (stock?): ex. qap.la/~netarchy/BurntDroid-1.0-Froyoized-netarchy-signed.zip
2) Doanload a stock kernel: qap.la/~netarchy/netarchy-toastmod-4.0.3a-signed.zip
3) push both images to your /sdcard/
3.1) adb pus file BurntDroid-1.0-Froyoized-netarchy-signed.zip /sdcard/
3.2) adb push netarchy-toastmod-4.0.3a-signed.zip /sdcard/
4) reboot your phone in recovery mode (hold volume down, click power)
5) wipe data/factory
6) whipe cache
7) advanced -> wipe dalvilik
8) Install zip from sdcard
9) choose zip from sdcard: (you should see the BurntDroid-1.0-Froyoized-netarchy-signed.zip there, choose that one, and say yes whe asked)
10) repete number 9 with netarchy-toastmod-4.0.3a-signed.zip
11) now choose +++++
This should get you to a working phone. You will have root and a decent kernel.
I ope this helps.

This is what happens to me when I try to install a rom/kernel. It will work its process and do the "Writing Boot" and "Deleting Files." But once it gets to "copying files," the loading bar will slowly move to 1/4 of the way full, and once it reaches that point it will say Istallation Completed. Does this information give anymore details for help?
Edit: I did try that method, And the same thing happened.

That was the first thing I tried doing. It would do the "Checking MD5 sum..." and then it would just give me an error. I just formatted the sd card (after copying everything to my computer) so im going to transfer my backups back to the SD and see if that does anything.

Does the radio really matter though? I mean, I have a feeling that even if I do flash the new radios that I'm still going to be stuck doing what I'm doing now.
This is exactly what it says when I try to do a restore:
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!

I download them from here, then I set my phone as the "Disk Drive." Or USB Storage when using CM. Move the roms to my phone, then reboot into recovery and flash from there.
Update:
Just tried flashing a different firmware using the old way. With the recovery-windows.bat method.... Seems to still be freezing on boot though. :/
ive seemed to have fixed it. i wiped phone like 10 times. reformatted sd card, installed the rom called virus. it went to bootloop. so i let it do its thing. when i woke up today, it was perfect!

Sounds good man! I'll try that too and see if it works.
Update: Now it's not even turning on and when I plug it in, the orange light just flashes. I know the battery isn't dead because I had it plugged in all day. So, I guess that means I can take it to a sprint store tomorrow and have them be just as confused as I am about the situation, but without having them know that the phone was rooted? Wish me luck!
P.S. Maybe I'll be upgraded from a Nova to an Epson screen? Wishful thinking....

haha yea maybe! that'd be nice, but im sure they would know if you rooted. even if you did, some employees root their phone as well, or at least these 2 dudes at the shop i go to have, so they help me out when i cant get answers here, which, so many people do, thats why i try to keep in contact with certain people on ehre via skype(branden.allert) or aim(backongb561)
I wen't into the Sprint store today in town... The lady was absolutely no help at all. Plus they didnt have any EVO's in stock. So I just decided to screw it and file it as a claim under insurance. I should be getting a replacement in 5-7 days. Hopefully I wont have the screen separated, light leaked, white spot in the lower right of the (NOVA) screen in this next one.
I am unable to flash any roms except cm6 ( I can also flash any nightlies. )
This is driving me crazy. I have tried to flash fresh 3.2 to no avail. I have also tried to install the new virus rom. I attempted to install the rooted version off the newest ota with the same results.
After each attempt the result is the same. It will just hang on the HTC evo 4g screen.
I have downloaded the roms a few times each to ensure they were completed correctly.
I have pulled the battery and waited.
I have deleted all data / dalvik / Cache several times in a row.
I have attempted to flash using a different version (earlier) of clockwork with the same results.
I even attempted to flash with RA recovery. Same results.
I am completely lost as to why I can only flash cm6 roms
Please let me know any suggestions.

From what I have read...................
You need to restore a 2.1 or a 2.2 rom you have, boot to that, then you can flash to a 2.2 rom.
You can't go from CM directly to another rom.

Restore your original backup, and try from there. If you don't have one, you may need to RUU

Ok, so basically I am going to unroot - reroot?
I just flashed from cm6 straight to baked snack directly with no problems. Not really helpful but you shouldnt need to flash to a stock rooted rom first. Note sometimes you have to wait a good 5 minutes for the htc screen to go away. Probably took about 5 when I moved from cm6 to snack.
I just tried again, attempted to go to fresh. I let it sit for 10 minutes with no results.

Thanks!
Try flashing a new recovery. If you're using the newest amon go back to the last one or vice versa. Or even move over to clockwork. But I would ask about that I know clockwork doesn't play well with cm6. This could get you in trouble but I guess you always go back to amon.

Nothing worked, tried going to different recoveries/versions. Nothing.
Anybody? Any advice?
if you flashed cm6 and have it working... its my understandung that you cqn not just go and flash a different rom. there is a process that needs to be followed.
but i have never and never will use cm6 so i could easily be talking from my rear.

I flash from cm6 to rooted stock rom when I need to update prl and stuff.
After you flash wipe dalvik and cache again I had that problem when flashing snap.

Feeling like a bit of an idiot here.
I'm running myn 2.2 rls 5 with netarchy's kernel and I was trying to downgrade from pri 1.9 to 1.77 due to well known battery issues.
For the life of me I cannot get it to work though. Am I doing this right? I got caukin's 1.77 pri, renamed it to PC36IMG.zip (i made sure it isn't .zip.zip) and copied to my sdcard
1. reboot into recovery
2. select install zip from sdcard
3. find the file i downloaded and select it
4. after I do this i get the following message: installing update, installation aborted. No Files found. no files found
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what. I've done this before too.

I don't believe you should've renamed it, however I'm also not sure if that would matter. What recovery are you using, Amon RA or clockwork? Here is my copy of the 1.77 PRI, try downloading this one, DON'T rename it, then boot into recovery and flash it as normal. The phone does some different things when flashing the PRI I believe, so if you see some unusual screens, don't be alarmed!
Just flash like normal. Wipe your cache and dalvik cache, the flash your radio. You can make a backup to be safe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
That thread has all the radios, ect, for future use. I book marked it.
Thanks for the suggestions but I've actually tried both of these files already and they don't work. Just to be safe, I did try them again thinking maybe I got a bad download but that's not it. In fact, when I try to flash the PRI the screen flashes very quickly and goes back to the flash screen like I didn't do anything. I never get a message to reboot or anything like that.
Maybe it would help if someone gave me a step by step so I could see if I'm doing something wrong?

it will then tell you to reboot your phone. hit power button twice to do so
it will flash 1.77 and then take you back to recovery and your set!

I'm not sure what you mean. The only strange thing that happens is when I tell it to reboot after trying to flash (and keep in mind, it NEVER asks to reboot, I just do it manually) I always get a black screen and a bunch of pixels, like when you look at a tv very close, for about 5 seconds, and then it boots into the rom.
When you scroll side to side can you see it lagging towards the top, ruins youtube video watching and anything with fast pixels.

Oh no, nothing like that. The phone works well, I don't really have any major problems - at least other than a few bugs that everyone has.
OK problem solved, although I'm not exactly sure what happened. You guys did drive me in the right direction though. I reinstalled clockwork and it still didn't take. Then I tried RA, which I've never used and it worked fine.
I guess I'll stick with it for now. Thanks everyone.
I'm thinking about downgrading too, how do I go about doing that?

Hey guys,
so i was on a plane yestarday and obviously they want you to turn your phone off. I did so and when i landed i tried turning it back on but only to my surprise it would. Was just stuck at the White HTC screen and just kept resetting and doing the same.
Luckily I was able to get into the bootloader and reflash the rom and backup, however, its a pain in the butt to have to do so every time my phone shuts off or I have to shut it off.
Havent tried another custom rom yet, will do so shortly, but just wondering why this is happening? Any advice?
What rom were you on? And make sure to install with a clean install.
i was using calkulins evio rom.
and yes, i did a full factory wipe with cache and dalvik as well....is there all required for a clean install?

You pretty much want to wipe everything but the sd card. So cache, data, dalvik, boot, and system. Then flash your rom and boot it up.

I have this same problem with calks rom. Maybe try a different kernel?

Fyi, if you used cwm to do the wipe, this is probably where you failed. Cwm fails to wipe dalvik most times. I have had weird issues on sense roms specially when using cwm. I changed to ra and no wipe problems since.
How do I know this? After so called full wipes using cwm and installing evio most or all of my apps and settings would still be there.
I have confirmed this with many others that have used both recoveries. Ra is nicer anyway.
Real men don't need rom manager anyway.

I just don't understand why koush dosen't fix this and be done with it. I love that program... I use titanium backups dalvik cleaner anywho just saying that all
I'm having this sort of issue as well. I have wiped many times, gone back to stock, unrooted, even updated the hboot version. Has anyone figured out what exactly may cause this sort of boot loop? Sometimes, my phone just randomly reboots (even on stock default) and gets stuck in a boot loop.
Keeping the battery out for about 5 minutes allows it to boot back up, but I'm getting rather frustrated with it. I can't seem to pinpoint an exact issue. sometimes, it seems my battery is rather warm to the touch, sometimes, it's nice and cool. I've tried sense roms, non-sense, GB, and as I said earlier, stock RUU. Nothing I've done stops the reboots. I took it to the sprint store, and they saw nothing wrong with it. (Of course, it didn't reboot for them. Figures, eh?) I even got 2 alternate batteries. (One was the super big extended life)
Has anyone else had this same issue? I'm at a loss of where to go from here. I've poured over these forums, and the development forums for days. I never had this issue before...it's only started happening in the last week and a half. Keep thinking I must have missed something, but I'm not sure what.
My phone will detect Wifi, and try to connect, but will never connect. It just finds it, goes to "connecting," then "disconnected," then "connecting," then "disconnected," etc.
What did I screw up on my phone? I've tested Wifi using Fresh, CM7, Caulkin's, and the leaked plain gingerbread.
I've flashed 2 different kernels, each has the same result. Not to mention that some of the roms have different kernels already.
I've also downgraded my radio just to see if that would help.
What could I possibly have messed up? I don't get it.
Obviously, I've spent a lot of time like this, and I am, quite honestly, literally insane at this point.
Any help is appreciated.
Later.
Could it be your router that's going bad and not your phone??
Also, try placing a stock sprint rom and go from there
I ran into this as well before with my current ROM Mikfroyo.. the trick for me was just to back up my apps and wipe/reinstall the ROM. If you backup more, be sure to NOT backup the Wifi settings as that may cause the issue to happen again (I've been down this road more than once with my phone because I'm a flashing junkie )
That's the only suggestion I can offer.. sucks but at least for me it fixed my issues with Wifi not connecting.
Good luck!
--edit--
after reading deeper into the OP I guess this might not work as it seems flashing new ROMs didn't help either..

I don't think so, because at home my wireless printer still works, and I can connect an iPad.
I'll flash a stock rom tonight.

I have been using Titanium backup to restore settings, that is a good point. Maybe tonight I'll re-install the router, remove all apps from the Apps2SD, flash a stock ROM, then manually re-install all of the apps from a market.
Sounds like a good Friday night. Blehhh.....
If your using cwm to flash wipe all 3 times each then when you restore apps do apps only not system data. Somewhere your introducing info back into the rom that's confusing it.did you back up your wimaxx keys before you flashed your radio?

No, but cwm and RA both do that for you now, right? Plus, I can still connect to 4G, so the wimax keys should be there.
But that's a question I can't find the answer to- does the radio have anything to do with connecting to WiFi?
Well cwm doesn't do a good job at cleaning dalvik cache. You've got to manualy wipe 3 times to make sure. Your not using rom manager are you? What version of clockeork you using?

I use ROM manager. What's wrong with it?
I'm using 3.0.0.5
Don't use rom managet it causes to many problems. Go into recovery and wipe system data facrory reset, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache 3 times each then flash your rom. Your issues will go away.

You should go into rom manager and flash other recovery re. That's amon re its more stable than cwm.

Sounds more like your wireless router is the issue. Just because your other devices connect, doesn't rule out your router. Try to connect to a different wireless router and see if that works.
i am also having this same issue, and i cant find an answer to it.. but i will try giving it a shot with amon ra recovery and manually clearing dalvik cache n data.
Hey Sprockethead try using this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654, it's known to work for a LOT of people here... Like the others have mentioned I think it might have to do something with not wiping properly... You can still flash your CWM recoveries with this one.
