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!

[Q] Issue with ##GPSCLRX# for GPS on CM7

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I have been using CM7 since build 0, and have been having hte GPS lock issue as everyone else has. I finally got around to going back to a sense ROM to clear the gps using ##GPSCLRX#. When I put that in it asked for the password (MSL code) and I accidentally hit ok, finger slipped. It said password incorrect and I'm not sure if it cleared the GPS or not. I tried to do it again, but when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it just disappears and the password window doesn't come up anymore.
I tried going back to CM7 and then back to a sense ROM, and I can't get that window to pop up again. My GPS still isn't locked consistently, just a quick lock every now and again, so I don't think the clear worked. I don't know how to clear it now.
I tried doing it on Myn's 2.2 and the stock ROM.
Today I did a full wipe and installed a fresh Myn's, and when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it still just disappears from the box, and it never prompts me for a password.
I would really love to get the GPS up and running, because other than that I love cm7. Appreciate the help. If someone can get my GPS up and running well I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars to a beer fund or whatnot.

CM7 RC1 is supposed to have the GPS issues cleared up.

Did you try a factory reset?

RC1 still does it.
I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) when i installed Myn to do the clear, it still wasn't working.
Data wipe via clockwork is the same as factory reset, right?

Maybe this won't help, but you can try unrooting.

Any other suggestions?

Clear Data/Cache on the Dialer in Menu | Settings | Applications? Not sure what else this might muck with.

flash back to frest rom.
copy the attached epst.apk using root explorer to /system/app
when it asks to overwrite accept then install it.
your ## codes should work again.
you can also install 'gps status and tools' and clear the data there

After I went s-on and ran the latest ruu, I had to reapply the GPS fix after I rooted and loaded cm7. I couldn't get the GPS fix to work in Caulkins 1.8. It would reboot and hang at the white evolution screen. I used a rooted copy of the latest stock Tom and everything worked great.

This worked, however I still can't get the GPS to lock. :\
It seems like now I can't even get the GPS activate. If I turn GPS on the icon never comes on in the notification bar. It seems like its only trying to get a lock using the nearest tower or satellite or something.

EVO GPS not locking in GB 2.3
I did a little more research and it turns out that this is a common problem for anyone moving from 2.2 to 2.3 on evo. I found the fix by doing a GPSCLRX from my rooted stock sense rom.
0) Download the 2.3ROM and optional google apps to your sdcard; place it somewhere you can find them when in recovery
1) Download 'msl reader' from android market, run it and record your msl or call Sprint and beg for your msl number and record it for later.
2) ***MOST IMPORTANT PART*** you have to do this from a stock sense ROM. If you made a backup prior to your initial install of a custom ROM just restore it if not get stock ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
3) Once your stock ROM is up verify your GPS works and locks (GPS toolbox or Maps etc..)
4) With your GPS on; Open dialer and press ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
3) When prompted for the password input your msl code from step 1
4) Phone will reboot in 20 seconds
5) Reboot into recover (power button + down volume)
6) Wipe everything and FLASH 2.3ROM + latest gapps
GPS works

I'm having GPS issues as well. I tried a similar instructions yesterday except I didn't test my GPS when I restored my stock ROM and turn on GPS during GPSCLRX. If i back up my CM7 rc3 now before I try this again can i just use the restore feature again after unlocking GPS or do I have to wipe and manual flash?
** EDIT ** I'm new to this so I want to add that I'm using the SavagedZen Kernel. Do kernels affect GPS? I haven't read that it does but just wanted to add it to help troubleshooting. I restored to stock ROM and confirmed GPS is working. Hope this works...

Works like a charm! I struggled for hours trying to get it to work and then ran across this thread. Thanks a bunch!

Can anyone help?
I'm trying to follow the ##GPSCLRX# fix documented here. I flashed to a Fresh ROM to get Sense, and got my MSL code.
However when I dial ##4772579# the dialer just locks up (looks like a previous poster had the same issue).
I got around it by saving the number as a contact and dialing the contact.
The phone rings twice then says:
"The number or code you have dialed is incorrect. Please check the number or code and try again. Message 7, Switch 351."
I tried dialing the same number from a free alternate dial app, same response.
Any ideas? No GPS really sucks
(And yes, I have double- and triple-checked that I'm dialing the right number. And yes, Sprint is my carrier.)
Oh, and using the GPS Tools app: Tools -> "Manage A-GPS state" -> "Reset" didn't change anything.

crazedfred, I actually had the same problem today. I think it might have something to do with Fresh and not the method to fix it. I originally tried using fresh and encountered the same problem you're having.
Instead, I used Sprint Lovers as my Sense-ROM and followed the same instructions and everything worked out ok. If done correctly, you shouldn't have to dial ##4772579#. Once you input the last pound sign you should be prompted to enter the number from MSL Reader.
Just a note: When I did this today I started to have some data connection issues but I'm not entirely sure if they are related. I'll update if I can figure it out.

I've had these issues any time I moved from sense to aosp...I just flash to stock rooted, run ##gpsclrx#, enter msl and actually use the GPS after reboot...

[Q] help!! cant get 3g to work after insalling new roms

Now i know theres hundreds of threads about 3G problems and im hoping this one doesnt get over looked . I recently in stalled two custom roms on my evo ( cyanogen 7.0.0 , and miui 1.1.25 ) wiped chaches factory resets etc. on first installations but for some reason my 3G is not being recognized or even showing up when i am using the custom roms. The only way i can use 3G is when i restore my phone back to my stock rom..... can anyone help me fixing the issue ....please. if i can get my 3G up and working while im running my custom roms it will make everything so much easier, instead of having to restore my stock rom when ever i want to do anything on my phone outside a wireless network
oh and kernals etc. are stocks that came with the roms.no customization has been done to the roms themselves.

has nothing to do with the kernels
you have to get msl reader and set your 3g up i think there is a thread in the developer section on it...let me see if i can find it
OK HERE IS THE FIX,
PHONE MUST BE ROOTED
PHONE MUST HAVE SENSE ROM ON IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM
download msl reader from market,
open msl reader,
write down msl code
open dialer
dial ##3282#
when asked for code or password enter the msl code you wrote down
select edit mode
select EVDO
select preferred mode,
set to automatic.
save exit reboot,
load rom of choice
and VIOLA YOU HAVE 3G
CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK

Well for CM7, are you sure you data is enabled? Sometimes tis off when you boot the rom. You can check in mobile data under wifi settings.

while that is true roxxors, since the OP stated two different roms giving him trouble and not having trouble with original load, the problem lies in how the roms read 3g...we all know that sprint roms LIE about 3g...and cyanogen actually reads actual signal...however until that EVDO change is done his phone will never get 3g on any of the cyanogen or miui or even aosp roms....

[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. :-/

I'm still having the same issue. Can anybody guide me through getting back to 3G? Would be much appreciated.

+1 .

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.

Thanks man! I have obtained 3g and it held through the flash of cm7. For all others who have this problem, just do as his said. The rom I used to flash to properly obtain the correct PRL is located here. So glad I have my 3g back, that 1x speed **** was pissing me off.

Get back to a TW ROM and open up the dialer and type
##72786#
Your phone will reboot, wait until it boots back up. It'll go through a small set up and you'll be prompted to reboot again. After the 2nd reboot you'll be on LTE/CDMA Mode. If you wanna change it open mobile network settings and change it to CDMA only
Hope this helps
