Please help. No 3g. Can't do hands free activation - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running one of the new kings 3.0 roms and wasn't having any problems. i then accidently repartitioned my sd card losing everything that was on it. I went ahead and flashed Synergy RC2-Godmode and now I have no data/3g. I tried to ##786# but it just hung when it said it was committing changs. I then tried to ##3282# and reset that way...This time it worked and even after rebooting the phone and going through hands free activation it either gives me error code 1012: can't connect, or it hangs on contacting network. I even flashed an older 2.2 rom and tried doing hands free activation and it is hanging.
PLEASE HELP!!!
BTW, I couldn't update profile or PRL either. Error code 1012. Is the Sprint server down or am I screwed!?

I think u need to contact sprint to have your phone reprovisioned. Just have them check everything on their end.

Flash a STOCK rooted sprint rom, then call sprint. I don't believe you can do activations from a sense 3.0 rom yet.

I handsfree activated a evo4g running Synergy rc2 this past Friday but I also had noted once before on a Sat night/Sun morn that Sprint's system does "routine maintenance".

Fixed it. Went on stock 2.2 and had to activate phone. Then I had data. Back on synergy god mode now. Still can't update profile or prl. Any way to do this manually?

[Q] Profile and PRL update problems!

When I try to update my profile or PRL I continually get an error message : Profile update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists , you may need to contact Customer service. Error code:1012.
I am running OmegaEVO v.1.1 with stock HTC kernel the rom comes with. Any ideas???
I've got the same problem! And also no answer...
edit#2: I actually have the current prl 60671
Which do you have?
Same problem. It happened after I restored a nandroid backup onto a replacement phone. hard resetting fixes the problem but I refuse to reinstall and reconfigure all of my apps just to get this working.
There has to be a file somewhere that we can delete to get this working again.
Mine is 60671 too, but when I used to hit update for either prl or profile it would at least tell me it was up to date or something. Now I just get the error.
If your **** is rooted, you dont ever update the prl.. its bad news
The Sprint lovers Rom thread has a link to the updated wimax and prl's

@thlinx Are you sure you are not getting the PRL confused with something else?

I''m having the same problem...I have the latest PRl though...but when I try to update my profile, it just stays stuck on "The network is preparing your services..." and doesn't do anything from that point on.
Same here. Restoring did nothing.

i'm on the same boat as you. anybody knows how to fix this?
hoping for a fix. i have the exact same error number. =//
its a recent problem.
I am getting the same problem. I am fully rooted running CM6.1 so I flashed one of the Stock rooted Froyo ROMs. PRL updated no problem to 60671. When I tried to update my PRI to 1.40 I have continually gotten this error and I have no data connection. I am going to try flashing the Sprint Lovers package and see what happens.
*** UPDATE ***
Hallelujah! I flashed the Sprint Lovers complete package and it looks like I'm back in business. PRI is 1.77_003 PRL is 60671. I have a network connection again and it looks like everything is working.
Now to get CM6.1 back and life will be good.
Flashed with new mikfroyo rom & kernel it comes with, still get same error when I hit the update buttons for prl and profile. Also tried the wimax etc update from Sprint lovers, but no fix.
same here with the newest steelH rom. i nadroided back to stock and it worked? any idea what the issue is and how to fix this? i also did a data profile restore to no avail.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I actually unrooted my EVO and I still get the error. After 8 different calls to Sprint they still can't get my 3G data working or my phone to complete a profile update or handsfree activation.

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

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.

desperately need Help updating profile from sense rom

Hi...I got my new evo 3d yesterday and I'm giving my previously rooted EVO 4g to my girl...however I had my number switched to the 3d by updating my profile and since the EVO was rooted running mynwarm it doesn't have the option to run a profile update so now u can't get the EVO to make calls or connect to the mobile network. Does any1 know what I can do to run an update profile?? Plz help I'm bout to go nuts lol

Flash a sense rom. Then you can update profile.
I recommend fresh rom
Profile and PRL updates must be done on a Sense ROM. I recommend running a nandroid backup and then flashing any Sense ROM. Or you can just do a full wipe since you're handing the phone over to someone else. Load a fresh new ROM without any data or cache information.
But isn't nun a sense rim??

Im bumping this because I have a similar problem, I unrooted my old EVO and cant get it to activate because I get no service at all. When i go to settings and about phone the MEID IMSI and anything else with numbers is all 0. WTH happened?
Did you buy the Phone like thatvor was it originally yours?
All zeros means somehow some way someone messed with it.
Unrooting does not touch the nvram/radio portion of the phone
This phone always been mine it was perfectly fine before my cousin called sprint. I believe he was trying to activate it before I changed it back to sense because it was on CM7.
I fixed my problem and it might help u too..myn is a sense ROM but doesn't have the option to run a profile update..I found a link to the stock EVO ROM downloaded to my comp then put it on the SD of the EVO..I went into recovery
Flashed the ROM and did the update...her phone (EVO) now has her previous tmobile number on it that I ported in and is working fine..it should work for u too...good luck

Failed prl/profile/activation (sprint)

Ok guys, i need some help... my profile/prl update has not worked for a long time, i get error code 4 (contact customer service). i assumed this was simply an issue with the ROM i was using however i flashed everything back to stock with odin. I am running stock everything with the latest FG01 modems. I still could not update my profile or prl.
So i thought maybe something was messed up in my programing so i ##RTN ed the device... now it wont activated at all... i get the same error code when trying to activated. So now i have no data/voice or text.
Anyone have any ideas on what i am missing?

I had this issue ...
Fix: when updating both Prl and profile make sure you're on Wi-Fi. Period. If you are not it won't update.
So if you want simply flash the ROM u like, sign in to Google and let it update .the manually update both prl and profile. Again on WiFi.

Phone stuck on verizon for some reason

I was on CM10.1 and I wiped data/cache and installed CM10. I was in a roaming area at the time and when my phone booted my phone told me that it needed to be activated? It would not work since there was no data. So I Odin'd the latest stock ROM and activated it when I got home however it is stuck on verizon for some unknown reason. The PRL is 0 and I tried manually putting a sprint PRL on the phone using DFS, but it never sticks. Can someone help me please?

Someone mentioned that putting it in airplane mode and then turning off airplane mode helped them get off verizon, however this was only when they had used a PRL that gave them verizon roaming so it may/may not work for you
Were you using a PRL that gave you verizon roaming while in that "roaming area" you mentioned?
If you are still on TouchWiz dial ##72786# and see if that fixes the problem.
Check the PRL thread in development, flash the sprint one using a TW based ROM.
