I'm not sure what happened to my Droid Inc but it won't make or receive phone calls. I can download stuff, sync with the market, send texts, ect. It shows I have full 3g, but as soon as I try to make a call, it drops all signal to nothing. Then, it'll bounce the signal indicator around, but won't ever connect. Tried *228, *22899, calling other phones, ect.
The only thing I did recently, and not sure if I've used my phone since was I upgraded my hboot to 0.92, it was 0.7x. I did a nadroid restore and everything seemed normal. I tried flashing the 11.19 radio and the EVO radio and it doesn't seem to matter. Did I screw something up when I flashed hboot 0.92?
What else can I try? If in a sense rom, and dialing ##3282#, I get the options to change the EREC stuff around. I have it set to EVRC-B enabled, but Home and Roam are both set to EVRC. I'm gonna put a sense rom back on there and disable EVRC-B and see if that does anything, but I've had it that way for over a week now.
I've tried CM7 final and nighlty 40 and a 2.2 Warm Z. Is there anything else I can do to this to get it up and working again?

I recently got a new EVO as my last one over heated and craped out. long story short i got a new phone and rooted it with this method
[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - There Will Be Root - Upd. 01.04.11
then i flashed the new fresh to start off with. then i decided i wanted to try something new so i went with AVAFROYO and loved it. then i decided to try cynogen 6.1 and read the easiest way was to just use the rom manager from android market somewhere so i used it. it wanted to me change from amon RA to clockwork so i let it. flashed CM 6.1 decided it was crap compared to AVA and flashed AVA back. then i sat around for a day enjoying that my phone wasnt ringing off hook all day as usual. but thats where the problem is. i cant recieve incoming call/texts/or voice mails. well i get the voice mails and texts when i make a call out. ive tried factory rest, nand back ups changing roms, udpating all my raidos and such. and the 3g just wont stay connected or my voice data.
ive exhausted all my options i think.. so theres what i did and what ive tried i figured id try everything else i could think of before i posted here for help. but here i am no closer to recieving calls.. so please HELP!
and also im almost to the point of unrooting and restoring stock RUUs to see if that would fix it. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated thanks
Did you nand like it said to? if you did the backup just revert back to that.. If not maybe try reflashing the radios?
Oh and also on the RUU yeah man I did that because I was having issues with the 4g. Its not that bad the 2nd time around ( rooting it again that is ) so just roll with it brah
I tried nandbackup didn't help at all. I get 3g and voice data fine when I'm making a call but when I'm not on the phone they both gray out and I don't receive incoming calls or texts.. just unroot and restore stock and take it back and get another new phone. It's only been like a week and a half..

Hmm really duno man. Ive seen this somewhere else on the forum. But im unsure where I seen it..
Have you tried loading a rooted stock rom yet?
That's my next step. Should I just do the latest rooted ota?

So I am able to send and receive phone calls and texts now.
Here's what I did. I went to the ##data and my evdo was set at hdr. I changed it to automatic rebooted and had a friend call and text me. Received both. Changed back and repeated. Didst receive. Changed to digital only and retried. Received both. Downloaded speedtest.net to test 3g speeds and a little disappointed with only 101kb avg down and 128 avg up. But hey least I can receive phone calls and texts now.
Anyone have any clues as to why the hdr was doing that?

well i guess HDR only always blocks incoming calls and texts from what ive pulled up on google. but i dont understand how my phone switched to HDR only, i have it on cdma HDR only now.. whats the default setting that the phone comes with anyone know?
Automatic I would think. That allows the phone to switch from 3g to 1x for voice and texts

HDR is what you want it on, that is true 3G. While you are in there go to the Data Profile section and under menu select Restore. When it comes back up let it update everything except Firmware.
That will re-activate your phone and should fix it.
restored my profile and it set evdo to automatic, i let it update all but firmware restarted activated phone. it worked on auto i changed it to HRD only and tested. Wasnt able to recieve calls or texts again changed it back to CDMA HDR only and it works. as long as i can recieve phone calls im ok with not having complete 3g service. i live in a 4g area and only really use my phone to tether for internet and as long as i have 4g and can recieve incomming calls and texts im fine. but still a bit confused as to why this happened.
and DDTM is diasbled
Ive search through numerous evo threads but found no answers. Ive been rooted for about a month and about 2 days ago I stopped being able to receive calls and texts, but I am able to connect to my google account and receive mail on wifi and 4g and I am able to make calls and send texts out on the network. Was using Calkulin's 1.8 rom when this happened.
I have an 003 evo, and I out the sprint lovers rom back on just to make sure it wasnt the rom,,still behaving the same.
I have updated PRL +Profile, flashed and reflashed a couple different roms.
Any ideas?
##3282# ,edit mode. Once your in there you have to find data. I am not on a sense rom and dont remember exactly where it is. Under advanced maybe..just look around. Once your in data hit menu, restore.
You have to know your msl to do this so get msl reader from the market first and write it down.
This also assumes your still on a sense rom.
Not positive itll work but its with a shot!

The above method can still work, if you don't have one, you should flash a sense rom and make a backup of it just for these types of instances.
I literally *just* had this problem. It happened after I installed CM7, with exactly the problems you had. I flashed dozens of ROMs, wiped, radios, re-wiped, etc.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950922
I had to take it to a Sprint store to get it fixed. They said all they did was a hard reset -- but when I got my phone back, I noticed the HBOOT was back at 0.97 and the radios were out of date, on an August 2010 version.
I have no idea what they did to fix this. I hope someone here can expand on this, I would really like to know how I could go about fixing this on my own in case it happens again. Try giving them a call from a landline to see if they can get it fixed.
If you go the customer service route, make sure you un-root before you do anything (follow the 2-step guide). I rooted right after I got my phone back with no problems.
I recently rooted my Evo and put CM7 nightly 12 on it. All was well, I even installed the Savaged Zen kernel. Even better. Just yesterday I updated to CM7 RC2 to give it a shot. Today I went to work and had to drive to a remote area where I don't get service, so I put my Evo in airplane mode to save battery life. (this was after having it overheat while charging, could be a hardware issue) At the end of the day I turned the 3G radio back on and nothing... It connects and disconnects to the tower. It will not send data and it will not place phone calls on the 3G connection (WiFi works). I did a restore back to nightly 12 to see if maybe it was a problem with the OS. Nothing. A few hours ago it began functioning again, but after checking it a few minutes ago I have discovered it is back to no connection. (the signal bars bounce between nothing and full, but never shows the X for no signal) Has anyone else had an issue like this? Should I restore back to sense and unroot to take advantage of my warranty? If this has already been posted before please direct me to the right thread.
I'm having the same problem. I installed Cyanogen RC 2 and had no problem since it came out. I went on vacation to a beach, and during my trip I switched it on to airplane mode since I was in a remote location. After turning it back on, I noticed I can't get the Data Connection to work. The 3g bar doesn't even show up, and after messing with the settings trying to fix the problem I managed to do nothing. I tried using a backup I made from a week past, and encountered the same problem. Then I flashed the newest nightly and still no Data whatsoever. Wifi works fine, and 4g is acting weird but I got it to work a few times. Does this have something to do with sprint?
I think it is the same as the 4G 3G hang. I typically get it while tethering and the phone is normaly quite warm.
So I managed to fix the problem. I ended up flashing Koni's Elite Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055
I got an error that said "Error 67 registration failure"
I updated my profile and it was automatically fixed. I'm not aware you can do this on cyanogen stock rom, but I think you can dial a number that will do this for you.
After getting the 3g to work again, I flashed back to the stock cyanogen, and it is still working. So for now im good to go.
I do think is sprint and not the rom because I did a restore to warm z and was still having the same problems. Also my brother's evo was doing the same thing and he doesnt have cm7 on it.
I figured it was something to do with the profile... I restored all the way back to sense and attempted to update profile, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I will try that ROM and see if it does anything. Why can't they just make this easy and allow updating of vital software that allows the radios to work on WiFi or from SDcard? This is dumb.
I tried that ROM and nothing works. Not really sure what to do. I might have to restore to Sense and unroot to take it back... I really want to avoid that if at all possible.
Unrooted my phone and getting a free replacement from Sprint. Still unsure of the problem, seems to work randomly.

I also have the same problem. No 3g data, gps, and 4g is acting weird.
I also had the same registration error number 67. My question is, how do you update your profile?
Okay, here is the status. I have a DINC and I've rooted it, upgraded the hboot to s-off, and upgraded the radios and all that good stuff. I've also ported the phone to cricket with successful results with full 3g, market, wifi, sms, mms, text, etc. So everything was working fine.
Then someone wanted a phone switched like mine so i did it for them no problem. It was working for a day, then it stopped. So I got it, and tried everything in the world to fix it, but 3g wouldn't work, even after reset to stock using ruu, pb31img thing and all that s-on, and everything. Even was verizon prl, radio etc.
But the 3g would not turn on, you go to mobile settings and it would just be greyed out, say "Turning on.." and flash white real real fast and go back to turning on and greyed out. And this is where it sits, no 3g icon nothing.
I've tried the airplane mode and that did not work. Turning off 3g, flashed different radios, different kernels, etc. No avail. Different roms, everything. Even at stock it says this. I've checked the settings PST wise, and even programmed it using ##pst from the phone itself and it commits successfully.
but no 3g turning on. So we sent the phone back because we thought it was a hardware failure.
So my phone was working great, latest radio, latest build of redemptive revolution, latest prl, everything working great on cricket.
I decided hey, i'll just sell you mine, and just get a cheap phone and save some money for a while. So i sold it to her, ported it over to the new number, switched it via cricket told them it was a razr v3c and all that. Next thing you know, same EXACT problem. No 3G will turn on, even after full reflash/flex or whatever to stock. Nothing i can do will turn on the 3g, it just hangs.
What in the world is going on, please someone help me, I feel so sick about this process. I am pretty adept with all of the drivers, adb installs, rooting and apns and all that. I also used the cricket v10 mms.zip flash file and its been working great up until this point.
We got cricket to check the settings on the account and they even did a reset to make sure its not that.
Is there any way I can look at a log file of the 3g radio? to see if its giving errors? Or is there something I can do to diagnose or view what is really going on? Any help no matter how involved or simple would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I am really sick over this matter and feel so lost
But I love you guys, and you are geniuses and I know someone can help me. Thank you.
ALSO, i've noticed this happens a lot even with new dincs from verizon, so it might just be a hardware failure. I just don't know what to do to check it.
Question ... didn't you make a back up of the stock ROM...?
-Pocketing HTC Incredible-
Some kind of delayed radio issue?
Okay, so I decided to spend my weekend solving my girlfriends HTC Desire problems. It was basically 2 things that were bothering her - lack of space to install apps and fluctuating carrier signal.
The first one was easy - I was able to root her T-Mobile (Germany) branded Desire with unrevoked and did the whole ext partitioning thing, etc. etc.
Our second problem however persisted - gsm signal from her phone will randomly completely vanish causing her to miss calls, sms, etc... unfortunately - this happens quite often. The weird thing is that she can initiate the call herself and then the signal will return for a few minutes, but vanish again afterward.
Its not her SIM or the carrier - I tried it in my phone and it works fine and my SIM in her phone also experiences the same problems.
I tried installing different latest ROMs like GingerVillan, SuperNova, Sandvold's ICS BETA, etc. It doesn't help whether its 2.2, 2.3 or 4.0.3. Yes, with full wipes in between.
Her Radio was 5.11.05.27 and I tried updating it to 5.17.05.23 - but no change. Still the same problem.
I was also playing with the phone menus accessed by *#*#4636#*#* trying to set my network to GSM only. This also didn't give a permanent solution.
Any ideas what else I could try? Different older Radios? Would messing with RILs help?
Should I try flashing the complete RUU package? Which one? I'm still S-ON... I'm not really sure what else I could try - kernel changes with ROMs anyway. Would changing the Hboot make any difference at all in that department - its probably the only thing that stays the same (0.93.0001) but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with cell signal?
Pls help - any ideas? I find it difficult to believe it could be a hardware problem - because again if she initiates the call then the signal comes back. But if somebody calls her she might be unreachable and it goes straight to voicemail. Sometimes.
