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

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.

I did the OTA root of my phone earlier this week and applied the Fresh ROM and the WiMax Radio Update. After that my WiMax stopped working. I get "Connected to Sprint" , "Disconnected" , back to Scanning. I did notice that my WiMax MAC was not correct and followed the steps using the adb commands to correct it. This still did not solve the WiMax connection issues.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying to "unroot" the phone and go back to stock. The RUU methods weren't working because of bootloader version issues. I finally found some advice here to to use Toasts Step 2 Method to downgrade the bootloader. This worked and I was able to then apply the Stock ROM using the RUU File RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
After getting back to stock I allowed all the OTA updates to apply. I'm still having the same WiMax 4G issue. The WiMax radio turns on, goes to scanning, connecting, disconnected, scanning.
I called Sprint last night and they had me do a ##786# reset with my MSL code, PRL Update, Profile Updates, etc. They also tried having CC remove the 4G services and re-provision. I'm still stuck with out the ability to connect to WiMax.
Before I return the phone ... anyone else have any suggestions I should try?
Appreciate the help.

I am having the same exact problem, i was told its something deeper than just the MAC address problem, i would just get a warranty replacement or exchange your phone since youre within the 30 days.
I just installed Netarchy's Stock 2.2 with Root, then applied the radio updates he listed, doing WiMax last. My 4G just says "scanning" when I turn it on, and never actually connects. I am hoping the tower near me is just down at the moment, but I am doubtful.
After I check in a couple of areas if 4G is still not working, I will try reseting the phone and root it again, running the 2.2 w/root, without installing radio updates.
Other then my WiMax getting flushed, Froyo ROCKS. Battery is lasting much longer, better features, etc.
I updated my radios with:
Radio update: 2.15.00.07.28
and
Wimax Update 26023
This is all you have to do:

I tried this ... started over all the way back to original RUU. Still no 4G. I took my phone to the Sprint Store today, left it for a tech to look at.
has anyone else heard of certificate issues that are used in WiMax authentication? I wonder if those certs were damaged by the radio updates. You'd think going back to stock RUU would repair that.
Maybe the stock RUU doesn't actually update the radio device?
If you have the latest radio and 4g is not working you need to flash the Rom again, just the Rom as the radio is already update.
Ps: remember do a titanium and or nandroid back up b4 flashing, good luck.

In my case flashing back to 2.1 stock, 4G worked again, no problem. But I want the 2.2... The thread for Netarchy's 2.2 stock rom with root has a few people having the same issue, but for most people it looks like the rom is working without WiMax issues.

Your 4g certificate keys got messed up. There is no known solution other than a replacement. I've been to Sprint, I've been online with HTC. There is no solution. Doesn't feel like there will ever be one.

thanks ill go in tommorow for replacement....jeez i'm at my wits end. going to try one more factory reset-root-flash....then im throwing it at the wall.
I am having the same issue with several roms. I just keep going back to the 2.1 when it fails. I have tried every update for the radio I can find, I am going to try again with some new radio zips, but so far 4g is just not working on any 2.2 rom that I try.
So I have a 4g problem. In Santa Clara, CA.
I get a decent signal and it holds fine, no disconnects, but there is not data transfer.
Things I tried:
- Checked MAC and it matches the case.
- Deleted tree.xml
- Reflashed Radio and Wimax
- Updated PRL, Profile
No luck with any of them.
4G worked a while ago, then I flashed CM6, then back to stock 2.2.
Current setup: Stock 2.2, netarchy's kernel 4.1.8-cfs.
Any suggestions? Did I miss any fix possibilities?
you're keys are most likely gone.

Did you check your connection with speed test? Is the 4G problem restricted only to Web browsing?
I ask because the Ad Free app will block 4G Web browsing, but not 4G anything else and not 3G Web.

I thought that might be the case. So I flashed the new radios, and as far as I can tell they're up to date.
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28 (from phone info settings)
Wimax: 26023 (from wimax_mtd)
The interesting things is that it appears to be connected, and even get's IP issued, just no data transfer...
I was having the same problem. I did everything u listed above n nothing still didn't work. I was running vael Rom with kings bfc #9 kernel. I didn't know what else to do so I Decided to start from scratch....did a full wipe flash the radio, the wimax and vael Rom again still no luck. So I told myself **** it....then I decided I wanted to try Fresh Rom. So I wipe everything again n flash Fresh on to my phone and now my 4g is working again....I don't knowing that would help u but it did it for me. Hope u get it figure out.
Update: ok so I thought about flashing a new kernel. So I made a NAND backup and flashed netarchy-toastmod kernel. After flashing my 4g stop working again.
Did a NAND restore. Then this time I wipe the delvik cache. Then flash the kernel and 4g is working...

Did you wipe data as well or just the caches?
Wipe data and cache when flashing a new Rom.
Wipe dalvik cache when flashing a new kernel
Same thing happened to me. I ended up flashing the RA Recovery because I heard CW wasn't wiping cache's correctly. So you might want to try that as well.
I tried wiping both caches 1-2 times multiple times and it never worked. Then one time I wiped both caches 3 times and it worked.

I have tested my 4G datacard from Sprint in that area (top of Palo Alto), where I had 1-2 bars of 4G signal.
Because they are still testing there, I was unable to connect...
This might be your case -- they are still testing, and probably turn connections on/off during this period.
Best of luck though!
This 4G problem happened to me...i dug around in my backups and found a wimax.img from nandroid folder on sdcard. You need to find an older wimax image that was created during a back up...these wimax.imgs that are an image of your phone HAVE YOUR WIMAX KEYS
Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:

I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
I partially solved my issue in another thread, but still cannot connect to 4g. I had initially thought my RSA key was gone, but was able to find it in an old nandroid and reflash it. KeyChecker now says my Key is Ok. I verified my MAC address is correct and have flashed the most recent wimax radio. I have also updated my profile and prl. However, I still cannot connect to 4G. I was in Minneapolis in a strong 4g area and turned on the 4g. It turns on, scans, says connecting to sprint, and then quickly returns back to scanning, finds sprint, tries to connect, then scans again. I tried this is multiple spots all over the city but still couldn't connect. I am running Fresh 3.5 with the stock kernel and have connected to 4g in the past prior to temporarily losing my keys. I have flashed different sense and aosp roms with the same result. Someone please help! I am stuck! I would like avoid unrooting if at all possible, but will if that is a last resort.
I would call Sprint tech support and see if they could do anything from their end. You can try changing kernels or flashing a rooted stock rom to see if the problem gets corrected. For a rooted stock rom, download this and flash from recovery after doing a full wipe. Make a nandroid backup of your current setup first.

OK, Sprint was no help. As of now, my wimax key is intact and Mac address correct. If I am on Fresh rom 3.5 and turn on 4g in a solid 4g area, it turns on, scans, finds Sprint, then disconnects, over and over, never really connecting. Any other Rom I have tried, both sense and aosp, 4g won't even turn on, it just gets stuck at "turning on". I have also tried different kernels. I don't know what else to do. I upgraded my radios and profiles, would downgrading do anything?

I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Every since yesterday afternoon, I can't connect to 4G. It scans...connecting to Sprint.....scanning..etc. I never lost my keys though.

Same exact thing here. Took me hours to figure it out but here's what I did..total pain in the arse! I basically updated radios in succession. I loaded an old Sprintlovers PC36IMG.zip that had all the old radios (pri 1.77). After that I updated radios again, pri 1.90. Loaded up my Dark EVO 2.2 ROM, made sure 4G was working. Then while in recovery I flashed Caulkins .zip with all of the newest radios, loaded CM7, loaded GAPPS and BAM...everything is working great....total pain and probably a lot of unnecessary steps, but it worked!
As an update, I ran wimax_ mtd in terminal and it ran through fine, everything passed and was OK, except next to "check firmware file" it says not match and next to "verify app fireware key" it says not match. Any ideas what that means?? Can you give me exact details with file links to how you fixed yours?

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?

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. :-/

Bump.
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.
