ok..i installed vr kingdom revolution rom..when i did my prl 60677 was updated to 60679 and radio was different..so i flashed new radio to the latest and downgraded prl back to 60677 due to no signal strength at all after fresh intall of revolution rom..the phone boots fine..cant access internet cant make or recieve calls..cant send text or recive..cant sign into google!! WTF??

First of all, how did you downgrade your prl, unless you mean pri. Also, did you install on a fresh install?

re-download the prl from whereever you got it, it may be corrupt. barring that, do an update prl then update profile through the settings menu

My PRL version was updated to 60679 and i went back to 60677...my PRI is 1.77 .....ok got it all working again but i still have no signal strength at all..sometimes 1 bar on 6 bar icon. Idk i use to get full bars..i can barely use internet most of the time not..any ideas?

listen, we will all just be grabbing at straws right now if we tried to help. You need to be more specific about your issue and more detailed about what you have done if you want to get any better help. Outline exactly what you did, where files and such came from what effect that had and what exactly you have already done. right now there simply is not enough info to help you.

I dlded kingdom revolution b1.3 and my prl was updated to 60679 and a different radio not my doing..i had no signal strength after that..so i updated to latest radio and downgraded my prl back to 60677..still very poor signal when i use to have full signal..how can i be more clear on this issue?

Extract 1.40 PRI from rooted phone?

So now that we have 1.40 PRI on rooted phones is it possible to extract it and create a zip update so that we don't have to try doing the update profile thing hoping to get the update?
Sorry if this has already been covered, I searched but only seemed to find the update profile threads.
Thanks.

I second this. If someone sends me a radio.bin, I will happily try.

+1 for PRI. I found a thread from the other day talking about doing this but it doesn't seem like they got very far.

Try to drive away from you house and see if you maybe can get it off from a diff tower. Maybe the tower closest to isnt pushing the update.
If someone can explain to me how to dump the rcdata.img I can get ahold of a rooted 1.40 PRI Evo.
Thanks.

I have tried all around where I live...Just about a 30 mile radius and the ##3282# hasn't worked for me so I was wondering if any of the developers are still working on this as the Update PRI threads have gone quiet. I'd be just nice to know whats going on.

Very bad to no signal atall?!!!

Hey guys,
After rooting my evo about 4 months back ive neen through many roms, kernels etc. I have only updated the radio and pri once recently but never touched the winmax but recently ive noticed horrible signal strength sometimes texts wont even go through and im getting around 1-2 bars max no matter if im at or out somwhere.
So my question is what should I do to improve this would updating wimax help? Since ive never updated it since I bought this phone.
Im on cyanogen b2 supersonic mod which I flashed over a nightly because thats what da instructiins said.
Kernel: snap 7.6 turbo

45 views and no replies????!!!!!!!
if its just recently i would see if any friends have signal issues in the same areas... could be a tower issue.
otherwise i would go back to a stock 2.2 odex (it will jave latest wimax and radio in it.) and see if that helps.
if nothing works... it very well could br your phone.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Updating the WiMax radio will have nothing to do with your 3G/voice reception. That's a totally separate radio.
+1 on v_lestat's suggestion. See if anyone else is having problems, if they aren't I would try these steps (continuing on to the next if the previous didn't work).
1. Update profile
2. Reset profile in epst ##3282# (Need MSL) Edit Mode>Data Profile>Menu>Restore
3. Experiment with different radios until you find one that works best in your area.

Thanks for thr reply but can you explain in a little bit of detail like what will the epst do? And whats "MSL" lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I saw someone post something today about a program on the market to get your msl. It's called MSL reader and will help you get that. You cannot edit details in the epst without it. If that doesnt' work, you can always call sprint and tell them you need it. There are a couple of threads on here for help if they aren't willing to give it to you.
In the epst you can change things pertaining to your data pofile, wimax settings, and misc advanced settings. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHANGING. For what you need to do, just reset your user profile and then click OK to restart your phone.

[Q] Problems Receiving picture messages???

Just curious if anybody else has this problem when they receive picture text messages. id say 8 out of 10 i receive come through and say failed. then i have to keep hitting the download button until it finally downloads. I always just chalk it up to sprints ****ty service. Is there anything that can be changed to stop this from happening? thanks
+1 I have this same issue. It is annoying. It has happened across different ROMs so I don't think it is ROM specific

Is auto receive on, and is data roaming on? Also when does it not download meaning are you at home or out and about
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
data roaming is on and auto retrieve is on. It does it anywhere. I can be home, in the mall, at work it doesnt matter. Theres no rhyme or reason to it but it does only do it with pics not regular texts.
Also, It does it regardless of signal. I have constant 4g at home and most places and it does it off or on 4g

Are you aware of the updated radio as Dec 17?? Also base 3.70
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah I saw those but ive heard of people having problems with the new pri and certain roms and kernels. Thats the only reason i havent updated that. And I didnt want to update to the 3.70 unless I had to cause it seems like a pain since im rooted already.
Well Ive updated to new radios and wimax and its still happens but I have found one fix so far that works. When I get a message that doesnt come through if i go into task killer and kill the "messages" and "message uploader" process then try to download the message it will then come through. Hopefully this can help someone else too.

[Q] Speeding up my Evo? Also Nandroid?

How's goes it out there? This is my first question on XDA so forgive me if I sound dumb.
I have a rooted EVO via Unrevoked. I am using Myn's latest Rom, my kernel version is 2.6.32.25-netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass. It runs pretty well for the most part, but I have crappy service where I live. I am usually between 2-3 bars. I want to know if there is a way to speed up my internet tether and my 3g speed.
Another question I have is I flashed Myn's latest Rom and I wanted to go and try other roms. The only thing is my Nandroid is missing from my recovery menu. Any clue as to where is went and/or how to get it back..?
Sorry if these are in threads already as I'm sure they are, but my internet is slow(as I stated above).Hopefully some kind soul would just work with me a little so I dont have to wait for 9000000 different threads options can be looked up and wait 10 years to do so.

Get sprints airave if you have cable or dsl internet. You will have full bars. Or get a cell signal booster for about 300 bucks from radio shack. This will also give you full service.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
you COULD try and update your radios. What version on Myn? Is it his newest? If so then do thr PRL to 1.90. If your having issues with the phone not sleeping at night, extreme lag etc then downgrade to 1,77
I am on the latest version of myn's. RLS5.

fast, but want faster.
I have the latest version of Myn's. My prl is 1.90_003. Now how would I go about downgrading my prl? Also what does updating/downgrading your prl do? How can I tell if my phone is sleeping? Also any clue on the nandroid? Sorry for the overwhelming amount of questions, I have limited resources right now unfortunately.. but I greatly appreciate everyone's help.

Just an idea, I read a post today that was talking about dialing ##3282# in the dialer, going to edit mode, type in the password found using MSL reader from the market, go to ADVANCED, then change HTTP PD Proxy Port to "0" and change HTTP PD Proxy address to "0.0.0.0"....
I looked for the post just now but couldnt find it... Anyway, several people on there were talkin about it increasing their 3g speeds ( and allowing them to dwnld mp3's), and sure enough I did it and my average (over 4 tests before and 4 after) went up about 25%.... Anyway, dont know if this will help you at all since your's is an actually service issue but it's worth a try... Hope it helps -- and by the way, I am in no way a professional, just simply passing some stuff along so do your research and dont just take my word for it... good luck mate

Help......CM7

After I flash this ROM my phone decides it dosent want to obtain a 3G signal and it will not connect to my home network which has excellent signal but instead wants to connect to random open extremley weak networks. Im getting beyond irritated!
Are you running the latest cm7 nightly #36? Why don't you turn on airplane mode then turn it off to see if that fixes it. Is your router a wireless n? If it is make sure its on 2.5 ghz and not 5.0ghz. Reason I said that is because my router can broadcast 2.5 and 5.0 so I have to make sure its 2.5 only.

Im just ready to body slam this phone...It was working until I had CM7 flashed and then got a bootloop and had to go back.....

Wow this sounds super strange. Why don't you try going into a sense rom to verify its not your account/phone and then come back to cm7! Maybe sprints network is down. Before you come back to cm7 update your profile a few times. As wifi goes you should get the free wifi analyzer app in the market to see what's the deal with your wifi.
Do you have an airave in your home?
