After installing Synergy I cant update profile or prl. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed Synergy RC1 and had been running CM7. I just tried to update profile and prl because since I have been using asop for 7 months I haven't updated anything but I get error 1012 could not be completed when trying to update either profile or prl. My signal has been weaker in last couple weeks so I decided to try sense rom so I could update. Whats the easiest way to update? Any help for a noob? Thanks Again!

That's the only way I know of, I think there may be flashable versions of the probably. Maybe try flashing a stock rooted rom and try to update
We're comin from a pure power source.

You know, a really good idea is to run the RUU on your phone, restore it to stock, root it, flash recovery and do a nandroid, so you have a stock, rooted nandroid you can flash back to whenever you need to update your PRL, etc.....

Good call on that
We're comin from a pure power source.

I do have a stock backup but was trying to avoid restoring and thats one of the reasons I came back to Sense so I could update. Are most people able to update their profile and prl while running Synergy RC1? Maybe it's a server issue in my area I'll try again later and if no go I'll restore stok rom. Are you able to update while using sense roms? Thanks Again!

As I recall that ROM supports all the EPST codes. Can you not do a ##775# in the dialer and enter your MSL? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you could update PRL that way...

I and a couple of friends cannot do updates with synergy. As the post above mention...do a backup of stock rooted..I use sprint lovers...restore and update then restore synergy back. No more time than to drink a cup of coffee...

I was able to perform the PRL and PRI updates after rebooting into recovery (AmonRA) and clearing Cache and Dalvik again. Also, make sure you're using wireless network, not WIFI. Also, this was addressed in the Synergy threads.

Just did what you told...no dice....are you using rc1 or a nightly?

It works with MikG 2.2 Sense 2.1 ROM. Great ROM by the way
Make sure you are not Roaming when you update Profile or PRL.

I had this problem the first time I flashed synergy. I ended up rewiping everything 3 times, then used format all 3 times, partitioned sd card to ext3 then flashed rom along with the carousel and widget zip. Rom now works flawlessly and updates work fine!

This worked for me too, thankfully, just got everything set up like I want and its running great didnt want to have to wipe and reflash. (until my new sd card gets here and I can do a backup - out of space on my current card )

If you guys are having trouble on synergy, go into ##3282# choose edit then enter you msl. Goto data profile, and hit menu, then restore, then commit changes, then reboot. Worked for me every time!

So I did this, and then it after reboot it tried to do hands free OTA, failed, and left me without data connection. In phone update, I still recieved 1012 error on both profile and prl under both wifi on and wifi off.
I'm at present doing a nand restore.

So after nand restore, hard reboot, cache and dalvik wipe and reboot, error still occurs. I now have no 3g service. Anyone have any idea how to fix this sans calling sprint?

I ran into this issue when attempting to update my profile and it was due to the fact that I was hooked up to my WIFI. Once I disabled my WIFI, I ran the update profile and it took less then a minute to complete.
As for the prl, I switched over to amon-ra because clockwork gave me problems. Hopefully this helps you out. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button.

[Q] Slight paranoia about flashing with clockwork 2.5.1.2

I currently have:
Fresh Evo 3.4.0.1
netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 kernel
I would like to go to:
Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1
netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1 (unsure on bfs/cfs and havs/nohavs)
Looking to:
Save battery (Am using superpower and underclocking while unplugged)
OC/UC
Wifi Tether
The only reason i am paranoid is that I am still slightly new to flashing and like asking questions. (it took me a long time to work up the courage and flash what i have.) Also when i updated clockwork (to 2.5.1.2) i saw people having problems flashing new roms etc. so i didnt update anymore.
Backing up is not a problem (plan on using astro and sms backup)
Also should i use clockwork (version?) for fresh evo and RA for toast?
Again just looking for a smooth install. My phone is my baby and only source for internet..
Thank you for taking the time to read, even more if you reply and help.

I never have problems with clockwork but, I always flash from recovery and wipe catche partition and dalvik cache. You also need to upgrade to the current version of clockwork. You current version does not save you wimax keys.

So youre saying if i update to 2.6.0.1 and ill be fine. Just wipe the cache and all that?
Any suggestion on which kernel version?
Nandroid what you have first. I also have never had problems with clockwork, RA on the other hand on 2 separate occasion caused issue I could not fix!
I forgot to mention nandroid.
I am updateing clockwork now.
I am going to try tonight and hopefully post back if all goes well. Im going with 4.3.1 bfs havs.
***EDIT***
All is well.
I guess i just wanted to hear good feedback.
And i tried clearing the cache, i waited 30-40 minutes. Still was at the White Boot screen.
Restored from nandroid and installed 3.5.0.1 w/o wiping cache. worked within 5 minutes.

Prepping for some Cyanogenmod WIMAX, few Q's

So I am currently running CM7 RC1 but I hear some of the new nightlies have WiMAX up and running. I have not had 4G on my phone since I first rooted and flashed my first rom on my phone months ago (November). Are there any steps like updating radios I need to take before flashing?
I have never updated my radios or PRL (are they the same?) and I know I need to flash a Sense rom to do so, so I will most likely do that. Any Sense rom recommendations?
Do I need to flash an updated WiMAX radio or is that also done within the Sense rom?
Also, which nightlies have WiMAX?
Sorry if I sound like a complete noob. I have flashed at least 20 roms on my phone (mainly MIUI, CM6 and CM7 versions) and am not a complete noob when it comes to flashing roms. I have just never updated my radios so I want to make sure I am doing it right!
Yes, updating the radio can't hurt. PRL and radios are related, but the same. The radio helps your signal strength and the PRL basically allows access to more towers to increase signal. You need to have a wimax enable kernel as well. Also nightly 6-8 [8 is the most current] have wimax.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 Has all the radios. You can flash the first link in recovery like any rom and you'll be all set. Also, any sense rom will do to update your PRL, myn's rom is nice. I find mykfroyo aesthetically unappealing.
Any of the nightlys currently available include wimax. The latest is #8 runs smooth with hardly any issues.
There are also combo radio zip to upgrade your radios. Do this. On a sense rom and make sure to update profile and prl. Then flash the nightly.
Also the kernal baked in works great. I can get 20 hours easy

So if I just download the top link in teh roxxorz link to the radios that says "Combo" that will update them all for me in one flash?
So how about this.
1. Flash Sense based rom
2. Update profile and PRL
3. Flash the "Combo" radio zip to update radios
4. Flash CM7 Nighltly (in this case the newest version, or the previous one since I have heard 8 has some issues)
5. Flash WiMAX enabled kernel (doesn't the stock CM7 already have a compatible kernel?) or maybe Baked in by your suggestion?
How do these steps sound? Any issues or am I good to go?
You're good to go. Just for reference, the included kernel has wimax, so you don't have to flash a new one if you don't want to.
One more quick question. I'm in the middle of doing these steps and everything is going great.
Does updating your PRL, Profile and flashing the WiMAX radios mean they will stay updated even if I wipe my phone and install new roms on them? Or do I have to update them every time?
They'll stay updated if you wipe all data ect. You will have to update you PRI though if you switch to a sense rom to update your PRL though, othwerwise you don't have to.
So I just updated my PRL, Profile and flashed the Combo WiMAX radio update while in Myn's rom. Now I am going to wipe and flash Cyanogenmod 7 nightly #8. So you are saying I still need to update my PRI after I get CM7 on my phone?
Just backup all your apps, and do a clean wipe. When going from AOSP <-> Sense, if you don't do a full wipe, you tend to get bootloops, and when you restore the apps, only do apps and data, not system settings.

You should do it before you flashed cm to save yourself time. But whenever you want just nandroid cm and update through sense.

Well seems you're good to go.
So it seems everything went well and I now have 4G!
The only problem I am having now is that Titanium failed me for the second time at restoring my apps! Again I have to redownload all of my apps from the market, then restore the data backups. It keeps giving me an error message when I try to restore the apps from Titanium. This happened on CM7 RC1 too.
Any recomendations for another app to backup and restore all my apps and data in the future? I am getting fed up with Titanium...

I think this is a known issue with TB on CM7 with the current nightlies.
personally, I use My Backup Pro. you can backup texts, mms, home screen layout and system settings. (obviously going from CM7 to say Myns you wouldn't want to restore system settings.) it can backup your alarms and so forth.
also it can back them up to the "cloud" so you don't waste space on your SD card.

Hmm, I guess I am not the only one which makes me feel better. I will have to try My Backup Pro. As long as it backs up my apps data I am happy, all my Angry Bird's progress...I shudder just thinking about losing it.... And yes, I would definately not restore system settings when going between roms, made that mistake once...
Edit: Oh yah, what is the difference between the paid version called My Backup Pro, and the free version My Backup Root?
I'm running the latest nightly but even in known 4g area the phone just keeps scanning. Checked my keys and that's ok.
Anyone else having this issue?

All prl does is update the roaming list. Adds new towers so unless u travel alot it's not such a big deal to worry about keeping this updated.
You will need to update ur profile anytime u mess with the radios with a sense rom to basically sync your new radio configuration or "profile " to sprint
And do yourself a favor and get. Sculpted 2.0 theme for the latest nightly. Shift really tricked this one out.

Did you read that thread?
"This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Gingerbread EL29 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
Update Profile.
Update PRL.
Sprint Activation.
Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
This should be helpful to users of any AOSP-based ROM including CM9, AOKP, etc"
Directions here too http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/05/temporary-stock-e4gt-from-emmc.html
Using mobile Odin you should be able to boot into the recovery, boot the temp stock el29, update the prl and profile. reboot into recovery and then flash your original kernel. Then boot back to your system with it working.
I figured it out.
My problem is that when I boot up it goes to CWM and never goes to the GB EL29 ROM... I thought I was missing a file. Any help?

[Q] Modem Testing

Hello All,
Im trying out a new modem but I was wondering...
From what I read, usually it takes time for the modem to "settle" in.
What exactly does that mean and generally how long does it take to settle in (ball park).
The reason I ask is that the modem I am testing was flashed and now I have little to no Data Connectivity.
I am wondering if I should just flash back to the previous modem or give it time to settle in?
Usually it's whole roms that need to "settle".
I would try a different modem right away, personally.
Sent from my calculator watch.
I'm not saying the way I do it is the correct way. I will share it in case it helps anyone. Verify the md5 of the modem zip I downloaded is the same as is on the post. Boot into recovery. Wipe cache (2nd choice) and dalvik (3rd choice). Flash modem zip. Reboot into system normally. After everything settles down and finishes booting, I update profile. Wait for the 3g icon to come back after it updated successfully. Update prl. Wait for 3g icon to come back on after it says it updated successfully. Reboot phone. Done.
When I've had problems is when I didn't clear cache and dalvik beforehand. Also, if the profile or prl doesn't update the first attempt, try again. It usually works the second time. If it won't update by the third try then I think something is wrong. Try booting back into recovery and restart the process. If that doesn't work then I suspect something isn't right with the rom install (it has happened before). Verify the md5 of the rom zip you have versus the one in it's forum post. In that case, do a full wipe of user data, cache, and dalvik then run calkulin's wipe all zip. Install from from scratch again.
There is no settling in. Update your prl and profile and you're done.

LG Optimus G LS970 Data connection problem (4G LTE)

Relatively inexperienced with flashing ROMs and what not, but since switching to the LG Optimus G, flashing has been really simple. I have been running into a few problems though. No matter which ROM I choose, I can't seem to get my data connection to work. I've tried flashing various zips that claim to fix it, but so far no luck.
Currently running CM11 with TWRP
Any help would be appreciated.

No. The ROM itself is all you need. I'm not sure why it's stuck at boot. Try wiping cache, dalvik, and data. It should just boot. How long did you wait? It might take awhile. Possibly 5ish but no more than 10 minutes to boot.

What changed that caused it to work? I am glad you got it, I am just curious how the process came together.
I'm thinking forgot to wipe /system.
Not sure what I did different to make it boot into stock, but I made a back up, (Boot, System, Data, and Cache), flashed stock, booted, updated profile and PRL, wiped (Dalvik System, Data, and Cache) reinstalled back up and still no 4G, am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Almost Working
So I almost fixed it, I did the whole flashing back to stock thing with no luck. I did a clean flash of the latest cm11 Nightly, then also flashed the file found here
https://help.ting.com/entries/23423026-Flashable-Zip-Fixed-LTE-eHRPD-for-CyanogenMod
I figured maybe the problem was due to me being on Ting. So far I can get it to say I am on LTE, but any data connection I am receiving is painfully slow to the point where it is completely useless.
Any suggestions?
