Brand New Rooted Evo With AOSP Rom Now No 3G Help!!

Alright I just rooted my bros brand new evo right out of the box
for some reason when i install an AOSP Rom I keep getting a 1x connection no 3g.
if anybody could help that would be great
His has the 2.10 hboot
everything works on a sense rom but when i install a AOSP rom (CM or MIUI) no 3g
please get back to me asap

Toggle airplane mode. Does it come on and then switch to 1X? Make a nandroid backup and switch to a sense rom if you have a backup. Once in the sense rom update prl and profile.

im having the same problem on MIUI, 3g doesnt come on at all after toggling airplane mode, i even went to a sense rom and updated profile and prl. as well as completely reactivating the phone, the 3g just wont stay on, and ive yet to find a fix for it.

It is possible that you've never had 3G. On the stock rom, the EVO always shows the 3G icon even if you aren't connected to 3G.

+1. On sense ROMS, it always shows 3g, if the data connection is turned on. It is only capable of showing 3g, even if you aren't actually connected to it. In the newer AOSP ROMs, they have the capability to show what you are ACTUALLY connected to at the time, so the AOSP rom is showing you the truth, what you're actually connected to, while the Sense ROM is lying to you, showing that you're always connected to 3g, when in fact, you're not. Flash the sense ROM that shows you're on 3g. Run a speedtest a few times, see what your avg download and upload speed are. Flash over to the AOSP rom, and repeat the same test. I bet they are the same or extremely similar, even though one shows you're on 3g, and the other shows 1x.

No, what is happening is that the AOSP roms DO NOT have the kernel for the new hardware, this is why you are getting no 3g. Go back to the latest sense and wait.

Like the guys said above is because of sense only showing 3G which is really dumb, like at my house I get 4 out of 6 bars in sense and only 2 out 4 in aosp roms and still has the same speed and not problem with phone calls , go out and check if 3G ever comes on and make sure your are is cover by 3G coverage

im on older hardware and the 3g turns on, but when i switch to wifi or turn of the 3g the 3g wont turn back on. ive read all about how the 3g icon and all that is different than on a sense rom but im literally not getting any 3g connection.

I've been running CM7 since it was being compiled by lithid. At some point my 3G broke and I tried to ask for help but never could find a complete answer. At some point someone said the words "##data#" and "call sprint." Below is a step by step guide to what I did to fix 3G and it's been working through numerous wipe/flashes since. If someone already posted this information I apologize. This has worked for me and at least one other person that I know of, so hopefully it doesn't ruin anyone's phone.
1. Download MSL Reader from market, run it and write down results.
2. Nandroid current rom.
3. Flash cauklins format all
4. Flash latest rooted OTA (I found one in the wiki)
5. Boot OTA (I skipped all of the google login/set up stuff)
6. Enter ##3282# (##data#) in to the dialer.
7. Menu will popup select "Edit Mode"
8. Enter MSL when it asks for password.
9. Tap "Data Profiles"
10. Tap Menu button, then "Restore"
11. Phone will reboot in 10 seconds or you can click ok.
12. Hands free activation will come up shortly after phone reboots, then PRL update and Firmware update. (It found no frimware updates I think because I used the latest OTA) Let it process all.
13. Power phone off.
14. Boot to bootloader (hold power + vol down)
15. Select recovery.
16. Flash format all again.
17. Nand restore.
18. Enjoy working 3g.
I did all this the first time on the phone with sprint. As soon as I booted the OTA I had 3g again, I just told them it was broken and they gave me the steps. I just did it all again while typing this to verify that it works rather than try to rely on my memory of what i did.
Hope this helps. I also did the ##gpsclrx# while I had that sprint garbage installed.
If these are instructions to seriously break your phone, can someone who knows better than me please correct me. So far I've had no problems, other than fixed 3G

SgtUSMC method worked for me. Great stuff man, thanks!

Super weird instance... 1x

I have tried several roms, with this phone, on the newest radio, keep in mind, I have 2 Evos, the first one I rooted it and flashed cm7 nightlies with the STOCK kernel, then I went and grabbed my wifes phone and did the SAME exact thing, but she is stuck in 1x, what gives and can anyone tell me if they experienced this?
EDIT: Stock I mean cy's nightly kernel. This just doesn't make sense. I called Sprint to have them force a prl update, no luck.
UPDATE:

This happened to me as well when I rooted my mom's phone. We both had CM roms and the same kernels, yet her phone was showing 1x while mine was showing 3x. If it's a coverage issue then just try going to a place with better coverage but if you have my issue, just flash to a sense rom and enter ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter your msl, EVDO, select preferred mode, set it to automatic then press menu and commit modifications and let it reboot (got this off of one of the cyanogenmod EVO threads) and this should work. It definitely worked for me. Just make sure you're wife is actually stuck on 1x before doing this.

So if its not actually stuck, then what harm could it do?

Moderators please post SOLVED in the title please!

Glad I could help out! and to answer your previous question, if it wasn't actually stuck then I guess it's just better leaving well enough alone. We don't really mess with those codes unless it's absolutely necessary because you never know, you could actually mess something up.

Broke my 3g! :((

Ok, so I was running MIUI and I needed to do the 3g fix to get my data speeds up to par. Here are the steps I followed:
Go to the Market and download the app: MSL Reader
Use this app to get your MSL #
Flash to any GingerSense ROM (I used VR_GengerSense_Revolution_B4 with success. Has the nicest boot animation I have seen. ROM so pretty I stayed away from MIUI for a minute LOL.)
Launch phone dialer and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)
Select Edit Mode
Enter the MSL Number from above as the password
Select Data Profile
Press Menu button
Select Restore
Your phone will enter Commit mode and automatically reboot
Nandroid back to MIUI and enjoy better 3G speeds!
I got as far as commit mode, the phone didn't automatically reboot so I did it manually. The phone got stuck at the white screen where I pulled the battery, then just gave up and went back to MIUI. When I was back in MIUI, I saw I didn't have data at all! So then I went back to the GingerSense ROM and tried to do the data fix again, but to no avail. I have no 3g. When I am in the edit mode in data profile my username is blank, whereas there was something there before I tried to restore data. Are there any fixes for this?

Flash another sense rom snd see what you get
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Yes, try a different Sense ROM. I have performed this fix countless times with no issues and have recommended it with great success.
I'm not sure why your phone did not reboot on its own, but it should have. Flash back to Sense and update your profile Settings>Updates (I think) then perform the ##DATA# fix. While you are at it, update your Radio, etc. to the latest.

You guys were right! I just tried another sense rom and it worked like a charm! And updating my profile from settings gave my 3g back before I did the 3g fix

No 3G or 4G - 1x only - No Nandroid Backup HELP!

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?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

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
Sent from my criffvo

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.

[Q] [SOLVED] Stuck on 1x

Hey, I'm running cm7 and I've been stuck on 1x for only god knows how long. I know there is 3g around because when I first got the phone it worked. After flashing different roms it seems to not want to connect to 3g anymore at all. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

call sprint and see if there is an outage

Are you somehow stuck on roam only?
You might need to reset your phone through obtaining your MSL code. I flashed my friend's phone incorrectly in the past before lost his 3G.

I think this may be my problem. I do roam sometimes when I never had before. What should I do in order to fix this?

I am pretty sure there isn't an outage because my friend on sprint has been tooling around on 3g.
I'm able to toggle between the 1x and 4g, but I can't connect to 3g. :-/

If I just switched to the stock kernel and then back to the savaged zen one I'm using now, could this fix my error? Just a thought.

I had this exact sh_t happen to me after a flight from Portland to Boston. What I had to do was flash Sense, wipe, then re-flash CM7 (I think it was Deck's ROM).
See if that helps

Eh.. I mighta been usin' Tiamat (this was like 4 mos ago).

This really works!
I had the same exact problem and this worked for me. I found it on goodandevo.net
After following these directions I upgraded to the latest prl and maintain 3g.
'Turn off your GPS. Dial ##3282#, and select Edit. Enter your MSL, then go to Data Profile. Push the menu button, then tap on Restore. Push OK to reboot. Allow the phone to go through hands-free activation, but WATCH YOUR PHONE CAREFULLY AND PRESS CANCEL WHEN IT BEGINS TO UPDATE PRL.'
Found this in the comments here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/09/stuck-at-1xrtt-on-your-htc-evo-3d-heres-how-to-get-3g-back.html
Obviously, first you will have to flash a ROM that has working EPST, after restoring 3g, it should hold thru all following flashes.

I have this problem occur on CM7 randomly as well. I just turn off mobile data for about 5 mins then turn it back on and it seems to fix the problem. Least till the next time.

I've followed your instructions and I read up on that website. I've dragged the two files on to my SDcard and placed the one it told me to in system/app. Rebooted my phone and tried to type in ##3282# and nothing happens. It just dials the number. There isn't an option for me to press edit and type in a MSL code. I press menu and there isn't even an option similar to that. I read up that it's probably due to me using a third party dialer. I am using cm7, so is there a way for me to just show the stock dialer for a second to do this and then go back to the dialer that is set for cm7?

I think the simpliest thing to do would be to flash a stock rom and make your changes and then flash back to your prefered rom. Thats what I did. Flash the stock rom, use EPST and then flash back to CM7. You should have working 3g.
