[Q] Few questions - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Done lots of searching, so if I have missed something, feel free to point me to the thread I've been looking for, thank you!
With Amon RA: I have just flashed Synergy RLS1 with Warm Sprinkles, and decided that's the rom I am gonna stick with for awhile. I have also flashed Lithid's .8 More-Freedom kernel (the universal one, is this the correct one?) and the phone has booted up successfully. Ok sweet.
So now: my 4g is broken, and my sense launcher keeps force closing every time I unlock the phone. Everything else works great! I've tried flashing a few different radios, cleared/wiped all cache and data multiple times. Reflashed Synergy twice now. What am I missing? Most people seem to get great results from the synergy/freedom combo.

You can try to fix permissions with ROM manager or from ra under other/fix mismatch uid or what ever its called.

I am using Golden Monkey1.0 with SynergyRC2 at the moment. Everything is as smooth as butter.

i will try both of those, thank you!

Okay, the Wimax radio powers on now and scans. Says: Connecting to Spring... > Authenticating with Sprint > disconnected > Scanning...
So I figured my phone just wasn't provisioned because of all the rom flashing I have been doing, right? called sprint and everything shows up fine on their network. They want me to take it to the store to fix the issue. Hell. No.

Wifi connects, but no internet (multiple ROMs)

Okay, I was using BakedSnack and everything worked fine. Switched to Fresh and everything worked fine. I did SOMETHING, though. No idea what. But my wifi isn't working correctly. I can connect to different networks, but there's no internet connection. I can connect fine though 3G/2G. But anytime I use wifi...no internet.
I flashed back to BakedSnack from a nandroid backup and wifi worked. Tried flashing CM6 on top of that and...boom...no more wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas?
and you have done a complete wipe? not just cache?
start with the stock 2.2 odex or deodex rom....
are you using clockwork or amon ra recovery?
if you are restoring everything with titanium bqck up after you flash then stop it....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
+1 on the titanium issue. Titanium can create a lot of trouble if used for more than just apps, and some system things, if done very selectively. When 2.2 first dropped, people were flashing to 2.2, then restoring all kinds of stuff from Android 2.1, creating much havoc.

Yeah, I'm wiping cache, data, and davlick cache every time. As soon as I boot into CM6 from a working version of bakedsnack, I try connecting via wifi with no luck. I updated the radios last night on both (I have no idea if that would have helped or not. just a desperation move). Wifi worked no matter what on bakedsnack, before and after. On CM6 it didn't matter what I did.
I'm using clockwork recovery. I haven't touched titanium (I could never really utilize it when I was switching between a Sense ROM and a non-Sense. Never knew what I should omit from my restore process).
Switched to Amon recovery to see if that made a difference. No luck yet. (bump)
Flash a stock rooted rom and test your luck. If it still doesn't work after wiping + cache + dalvik then there is something wrong with your phone.
I'm trying to flash a stock ROM now, but I keep getting an error:
"write_raw_image PACKAGE...." installation aborted. something like that.
Limited research appears to indicate that the stock ROM is too big for my boot partition or somesuch.
I can install CM6 all day long. I can nandroid restore anything.
I don't know if this is relevant or not...trying to research. but my hboot version is 0.76.2000. I'm running all the latest radios/wimax.
You might try looking at your firmware settings in both a rom that wifi works and one where it doesn't.

Don't know how you could have inadvertently changed these but, who knows.
Try this in a terminal emulator
/ $ getprop persist.wimax.fw.version
That value should not change between ROMs.
Alogcat from market will display the status messages generated while you try to get on wifi. Start Alogcat then tap home tap wifi, tap home resume Alogcat select logs... look for red.

Thanks for the tips, willy. I'll try these out later today after work or if things slow down.
I did have some progress, though. I was able to get wifi to work on the Fresh ROM. I had installed a "wiredtetherfix" from the Wired Tether for Evo is working/patched thread. That fixed my wired tether, but evidently broke the wifi. So applying his "wiredtetherrestore" fix got my wifi working again. Unfortunately, a fresh install of CM6 from that piont (with full wipes beforehand) didn't cure wifi for that ROM. That's the one I want most, CM6, so I can go back to a faster ROM that had all the tethering apps as native applications.
On FreshROM the wimax fw version is: 4.6.2.2v26023_
Will update later with CM6 wimax version.
Okay, I flashed CM6 again and tried to pull the wimax fw version. There is no wimax on CM6, though. I think that's the problem, anyway. When I run the command, nothing happens. When I run wimax_mtd, it says "not found."

[Q] Flashed Myn's Warm 2.2 (RLS 5), 4G radio not working

I flashed the ROM a few nights ago and followed the instructions regarding flashing the new Radio pack but after noticing that 4G just wouldn't turn on I tried going back into recovery and flashing the .zip again. Still didn't work.
Eventually I restored the previous backup because of an unrelated data-loss incident. I restored the backup I made of Warm and tried re-flashing the radio .zip but it still wont work, anyone care to point out what I'm doing wrong?
I've tried searching the ROM's thread but "4g" must not be long enough to search for, and "radio" yielded no help either. I would've posted this there but evidently I need 10 posts before I can post to the Dev forum(A new rule?).
Thanks for reading!
What's your phone information(build,kernel,hboot)?
I thought that stuff was controlled by the ROM developer. It's on HTC kernel 15, build is warm 2.2 RLS 5.

As it turns out, last night I was able to turn 4g on, but I'm no longer able to do it now. Anyone know what's up?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had the exact same problem as you. This just happened out of nowhere which is even more weird. The rom was working fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped allowing me to turn on 4g. I get the scanning then disconnect really quick. Or I get turning on and turning off over and over again. It shows really quick.
What I did was I flashed back to stock with an old nandroid. I went to a area without 4g and tried to let it connect. Of course it couldn't. I then updated my profile 4 times. I flashed back to another rom and it is working again. Still a little buggy but way better than not being able to connect at all.

Did you go back to Warm? And what profiles are you talking about exactly, and what does that do? I like this fRom a lot so I'd hate to have to switch.

I have been bouncing back and forth between his and mikfroyo. You go into settings and go to system updates and update profile. When it's done hit ok. Do that a few times and restart the phone. See if that works. It took me days to get mine working again. I think it was from flashing from rom to rom all the time and updating and upgrading the radio's that caused the problem. I don't think it's his rom that is causing it in my case at least. Good luck
My standard process when flashing roms and kernels has always been and will be when im done with the flashing . Setup widgets and where I want them , apps , general settings etc etc etc . Then perform Update Profile followed by Update PRL . When those processes are done I usually let the phone settle down some then do a reboot . Again let the phone settle down from the reboot . Then check your 4G connection it should work . My only advice is to stick with roms running off the newest radios . That way you cut out flashing radios causing possible issues with 4G .
So i am having issues with this ROM and was wondering if anyone is having the same issue. Well i see that my awake and run time are the same and spare parts is showing 100% usage on the CPU.
ive tried using all the different kernels to no success.
any help would be appreciated.
Myn's warm 2.2 RLS 5
updated radios
kings 11
I've installed Myn and my 4G doesn't work. It switches between on and off really fast and then sometimes it'll go further and scan, connect, disconnect, and repeat.
Specs: myn's warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5)
Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel: 2.6.32.25-netrarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version 60674
NOTE!! I've already checked if my RSA keys have been lost and they haven't.
Any tips would be grateful, I'm going to flash Fresh tonight and hopefully it works.
Jj, and SouthernEvo, thanks for the tips! I cracked the glass on my phone and just got a replacement, when I flashed the radios I didn't get the images the dev said I would: "While the radios are flashing you'll see a little green arrow phone icon for a bit afterwords, Wait on this. You will then automatically be taken back to recovery."
If this time around it doesn't work again I guess I'll try flashing a re-downloaded Radio package!
running_onCode, seems that we might be having the same issues, did you notice anything strange while flashing the radio package? Like I said on this second Evo, when I flashed it I paid attention and didn't get any green exclamation points.
I have this problem as well. I've used the app that checks for the RSA keys and it says I'm good. I've also checked via a console app.
What happens is exactly like everyone else here. Once the WiMax radio is turned on it'll scan for 3-5 seconds, then it says connecting to Sprint for about .5 seconds, then it says disconnect, and repeats. I've flashed and reflashed with the latest radio pack at the top here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . I did that so I could run Myn's Wyrm RLS5. H boot has not been flahed ( think I have a really old version). I've tried different ROMs and there is no difference. I tried going back to my previous ROM and it still didn't work. I tried updating Profile and PRL 5x and doing a shutdown>reboot and there was no change. Any help would be great.

Yeah, it seems like we do have the same issue. I'll flash Myn's rom when there is a fix for the 4G or maybe it's just our phones? I got tired of waiting so I flashed MikFroyo and everything is working. I was using 4G a couple minutes after leaving my house yesterday.
Yeah I'm thinking of just flashing another ROM, can't get much help without posting to the ROM thread itself and I guess I can't do that anymore!
It's too bad though, the first time around I had amazing battery life, but this time it's a lot worse
Are you using Titanium Backup? I had the same problem when I used TB, I would wipe everything, flash Myn's rom and them restore all my apps using TB and 4g would not turn on at all, RSA keys were intact but no 4g. I actually did a Nand backup before running TB and after using TB and trying to restore Nand 4g still would not work!
It actually took a while before I figured out it was TB borking the 4g (3-4 installs and reboots). I had to write down all my backed up apps and download them one by one
Hope this helps!

As a matter of fact I am using Titanium! So I should flash the rom and install the apps one by one or what? That's not really something I'm looking forward to

I doubt it is titanium, I had the same problems with RLS 5 not getting 4g. Have used titanium on Calks, Mik, and Azrael without having 4g scanning / disconnecting issues. There was a fix for this a couple weeks ago, somewhere. Too much for me so I moved on. Ricsim said that battery life is 97% driven by the kernel, not the Rom.
Bump! Anyone?

[Q] Can't receive texts after last Thursdays radio update

EDIT: Problem Solved
Downloaded Stock Sense 2.2 from here, flashed into that, Reset Data Connection in EPST (Like Here), rebooted and flashed back to CM7. Simple as that!
I realize this may be a bit of repeat thread, But I haven't really got an answer yet.
For reference: I'm running Cm7
Sometime during the day last Thursday, I lost the ability to receive texts. I can send texts, as well as make/receive calls, and data works fine as well. I just can't send them.
Things I've tried include:
Flashing to Stock Sense 2.3
Updating PRL/Profile
Manually installing Radio/PRL/Profile updates
Flashing to a fresh CM7 Install
I also feel like I should add that I tried to open EPST to reset data, but when I enter the code(##3282#) in Phone I get nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll be on until late tonight as to not keep responders waiting. Thanks.
Go to stock rooted 2.2 or MikG or a custom ROM with the old EPST, the new EPST features less. I just do it on stock 2.2 to avoid any problems when doing the restore. My radios are working, did you flash them individually?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Okay
Downloading MikG right now, going to give that a try.
And I think that may be part of my problem, I just can't get the radio to update. I've attempted to install them as a combo, and separately in both ClockworkMod and Amon_RA several times. I never get any error messages, it just installs, and tells me to reboot, but nothing ever changes.
That's why I'm going to try to Reset Data in EPST. I had heard elsewhere that my MSL doesn't match what Sprint has on file, or something like that, and that resetting data should fix this.
Anyway, Thanks a lot, I'll be back in 10-15 minutes with results!
Partial Success
As soon as Stock 2.2 booted up and got to setup, the texts started pouring in. Not sure what caused this, but it seems at this point like a Gingerbread issue. For good measure I opened EPST and did a data reset and updated PRL/Profile. I'm about to flash back to CM7 and see if the changes carried over.
It worked! It was that simple all along! Thank you! Just sent myself a text via email that I received on CM7!

If you rebooted in between installing each one, the radios should've updated. You might not notice any difference, but it should work. Glad to hear that your problem is solved!

Evo Wifi not working Help!!

i just received the newer evo with hardware 4 and gingerbread installed on it, i rooted the phone using the new root method and installed mikfroyo 4.62, the wifi is not connecting right or wont connect, ive tried at home, school, and a friends house, is there something i can change like wimax, NV, Pri, radios...just throwing stuff out there, but you know what i mean, anything like that, that i can change so wifi will work again??
Have you tried reflashing the rom? Did you install on a clean install?
Did you flash a custom kernel? Sometimes an incompatible kernel will mess with your wifi.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I have a similar issue that just occurred, I've had it working all until last week now any ROM I flash/restore will connect to wifi then immediately disconnect.
Any other thoughts?
same here then I wiped everything two times and flashed synergy RLS1 + godmode 3.0 rom and now its back. So maybe try that and let me know if it works for you or if it just worked for me.
sorry i thought i hit submit message like a weeks back lol, yeah i got it to work, i flashed a different rom and kernal then went back to the rom i like and it worked, weird, something must have not flashed write

Can you flash a ROM on a rooted cricket Evo?

I'm experienced when it comes to rooting/flashing roms... I'm on sprint tho but I just got my girl a Evo fully flashed to cricket, the phone is rooted but the guy at cricket said if I start flashing tons on it, it could screw up the cricket flash. Is this true?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
ok well i flashed synergy rls1 on her phone and it went fine except she cant send or recieve pictures anymore... So i thought i'd flash energy on it cuz thats what im running and the second she signs into google and facebook it sends her phone into bootloops. So i guess cricket evo's are hit or miss..... I would love some advice cuz her phone should technically be identical to mine but it's like a complete mystery to me. Anyone with a "fully" flashed to cricket evo any input here would be greatly appreciated.
You have to use epst in the dialer to get mms working I believe

ok now i really need help! It was working fine until i flashed energy rom. Now i can't restore back to synergy it ust keeps bootlooping... I am knowledgeable I have experience with rooting many phones and i have an evo on sprint but I got this phone for my gf as a christmas present and she's on cricket. I bought it fully flashed running some 2.2 rom but i thought she'd prefer synergy so i flashed it. It's not bricked cuz i can still get into recovery just fine. I have no experience with phones flashed to cricket and I know ebough that i screwed up her phone. PLEASE someone that knows what I'm going through help me. :-(
just wipe, flash whatever rom you want to run on it, and to restore MMS do as mentioned already and use EPST to edit the MMS server information. All roms for the EVO pretty much assume you're on Sprint not another carrier.
I would try that but the phone just keeps randomly rebooting. Some roms even send it right into a bootloop. Could it just be the phone and have nothing to do with cricket? Even so if I can get it to stay on for over a minute she gets calls and texts perfectly fine so I don't see how it could be a hardware problem either...
are you doing full wipes including the dalvik cache?
maybe you should try the full wipe flash from caulkin(?). I've never needed it but it sounds like you aren't wiping your device enough.
also what recovery are you using? I think some roms don't play nice with Clockwork if you're using that.

I have been using an EVO on cricket for several months now and have flashed just about every Rom available. I would suggest using armon recovery and team nocturnal wipe zip. For your mms the easiest thing to do is use go sms. You can enter your cricket settings in it. As far as losing my flashed settings that has happen once, but I flashed again using info from the jimminy cricket thread. Also just a heads up Sprint based roms won't give you voicemail notifications.

I've been using amon ra recovery and have been doing full wipes every time before I flash a rom. I haven't tried flashing a superwipe tho I'll try that right now.
Ok so flashed superwipe and delete&format then like 5 times each then did factory data reset and flashed synergy and first boot was fine setup was fine, made calls/texts fine then 10 min in while simply setting up my home screens it started rebooting maybe 8 times before it finally stayed on just long enough for me to power it off without having to pull the battery. Still haven't figured out what's wrong with this thing.
I think I've narrowed it down to mobile data... if i keep 3g/mobile data turned off it stops rebooting. Does anyone know why that is?
If you have decent pc knowledge I would suggest reflashing. Although if you are unsure of what you are to do after reading all the info then dont do it!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if you're using some newer roms (GB) have you updated the radios at all? Maybe that's the issue?
What is data roaming? How do I get out of it?
