[Q] ota update messed up phone - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok the other day I did a *228 update and ever since then my 3g won't connect. It barely will stay connected with 1x. I had the synergy ROM at the time. I changed to nils business gingerbread since and it still didn't work. I also flashed my radio and still nothing. Any help plz

Sounds like you'll need to reflash a stock rom. This is a pretty common issue and there are a lot of threads on the subject, it's why you don't *228 on sprint based roms. Flash the stock rom, then the rom of your choice.

I always to a *228 on my sprint based rom and never had a problem. it wont connect to sprint at all. yes is sprint based rom but to port it to work on the incredible it uses the key incredible files.

Hes right check the synergy rls1 thread for posts by me i had the same issue and there is good info there on how to get 3g back. Also i gave up on synergy because of this problem. Even aftet going back to stock and factory resetting and fixing it as soon as you reinstall synergy and reboot a couple times 3g breaks again, even if you dont do a *228. However i will say doing a *228 is what started the issue in the first place. Something is messed up with synergys epst.

I think you can flash the Gingerbread leak and it will fix 3G issues also.

no 3g with any rom

ok so after 3 days of research and trying about 6 different ROM's i cant get my evo to work on 3g
ive googled my issue and no one seems to have an answer that works for me.
ok so i have loaded
veal pak, evio3, destroyer v.4 (so far my favorite), emerald, liquid rom, ellite series, and a few others.
each and every time the phone is stuck on 1x, never says 3g. and like many others out their with this similar issue the 4g DOES work. ive run speedtest and it seems to hover around 100 kbs. loading any webpage is near impossible and it took 10+ mins to download the speed test app off the market.
now i know its not my coverage because before rooting i got 150kbs + almost every time. and my epic is rooted and at a side by side test it gets anywhere from 115kbs to 800kbs.
ive tried updating prl, profile, adding in different radios, fussing with the settings, nothing seems to work.
can anyone help me out? its so frustrating that if i cant get this to work ima have to unroot and go back to stock and that bloody sense ui
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried downgrading your PRL? Sometimes the older one will work better for some people. There's also a fix for crappy 3G speeds. I believe you'll need your msl and you may need to be on a Sense rom. I'll see if I can find the fix.

Are you using the latest radios and such not the leaked ones. Did you do full wipes be4 flashing .
You can run stock with root, restore your backup and verify speeds, or download the stock rooted, or Sprint lovers. Might be coincidental tower maintenance

i have been using the radios that come with the rom, but i have updated them to the latest and it doesn't help. (the only rom that seems to get 3g is ELITE Series III") but its to much like sense
and when i instal the roms i "wipe date/factory reset" "wipe cach" and wipe delvik cach

no i have not tried downgrading but i should try, any recommendations as to what prl i should use. and one of the only things im looking for in a rom is something that DOESN'T resembles sense ui. i really like adw and aosp (lock screen im using simply aosp rom on my epic and its awesome)
on a side note i cant get EVO-NonSense to work

Cyanogenmod is an awesome asop rom.... Im currently on the nightly. Also the sprint stock rom says that you are on 3g all the time...sales gimick. When you change rom then you actually find out what network you are on
Also try the ##3282# reprovisioning fix.

Not sure that it will fix your exact problem, but it is so potent and easy to do, that it is worth a try. I've used it to fix slow 3G and 4G that wouldn't connect.

[Q] EPST Active Profile Keeps Changing

I've recently "flashed" my Incredible to Virgin Mobile with data, sms, and calls working perfectly. I noticed something really weird happening every time I flash a new gingerbread Sense ROM; my active MIP profile keeps reverting from 1 to 0. This means that every time I want to use data I have to go into EPST and change it back to 1 in every single reboot. Does anyone know why this is happening? Also, does anyone know of a working EPST for gingerbread ROMS for the Incredible?
I have the exact same problem. Every reboot changes Profile to 0. I am thinking it might be in the radio somewhere but hope its in the rom.
Edit:
I just flashed Evo radio 05.02 on my Dinc and its the same thing, so I guess it elsewhere, maybe rom, bootloader, hboot???
Edit2:
Great news! Its in the rom somewhere. I flashed CM7.1 Nightlies and the Profile sticks to 1 Before that I was using Stock+ rom and it would revert to 0. So somethings runs on boot that changes Active Profile to 0. I found references in EPST.apk, libhtc_ril.so, perhaps its a clue.
Edit3:
I've ripped out epst.apk from stock+, reflashed, but Profile still changed to 0
Guys, I have seen several tutorials on flashing to VM, but none fully confirm that everything works. Can you point me to where you got the directions on how to do it?
Thanks!!!

Well, there isn't a definite guide, and you need a donor phone to do it. It actually "cloning" more than flashing. If you need help just PM me.
Also, about the profile, this stopped happening when I flashed McTwist ROM. The problem is probably in the Stock+ and Gingersense ROMS.

I've found out the same thing. Every ported rom I tried does not revert Active Profile to 0. I do hope to find out what exactly in Stock roms that mess with the profile but I am really new when it comes to building roms.
I'm having the same problem with my profiles being switched. Did anyone come up with an idea on where it's being changed?

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?

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?

[Q] messed up 3g after switching from MIUI

ok, heres the deal. Ive played with just about every rom for this phone. Then one happy merry day, i decide to install miui (i loved it on my dinc 1) then after getting my fill of it i went back to stock (andybones stock rom i think it was). Now the 3g keeps cutting off so i have to use wifi whenever i get the chance or be stuck with 1x, and it wont send or recieve calls unless im outside. I tried flashing the latest radio, trying different roms, RUU then reroot, but its still having this issue. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone find a fix?
BTW its the miui rom from miui.us

Have you tried *228 option 1 then *228 option 2 from an OTA based ROM? If not I would suggest giving that a try.

tried it didnt work tho. I even tried reinstalling the radio but it didnt help much. the way i see my best options are:
1) just call in for a replacement but ive already done that so much im sure verizon hates me xD
2) wait for the ics update to come out which i recently discovered is confermed by htc to come out soon this year
3) turbo charge the 3g i do have to get a better connection out of it and just stay on wifi when im at my house
unfortunatley i would really like to find a fix for this so if anyone wants to help out by finding a way or making one id appreciate it. Ive already googled the crap out of this but youre welcome to look around.
You could have a hardware issue, or you could be having the issue that just about everyone had on the Incredible 1 at some point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487&highlight=3g+drops
Try that, but with files for our phone. Do NOT use the RUU for the Dinc1. Or, try flashing a stock based ROM like SkyraiderZeus. If none of this works, its probably a hardware issue.

[Q] Trying to flash back to stock from CM to update PRL for FreedomPop

I'm trying to flash back to stock or some sort of sense rom so that i can update profile/prl I just changed carriers, i use CM 7 on my evo 4g, I've tried DL a few roms from here are other places and none of them will flash back to stock i always get an error saying assert failed. I am afraid to remove the assert from the zip in case im doing something wrong i dont want to brick my phone. Is there anyway anyone here can help me? I am sorry if this is a noob question i will be quick to provide addition information if needed.
got past assert fail error, installed most up to date stock rooted rom, kept getting incessant errors, and force close, phone was unoperable, reverted to cyanogenmod and still unable to activate on new carrier.
also, when i reverted and tried to fix permissions [common fix for FC error] for some reason the rom was so glitchy that it would get frozen while attempting to fix permissions. so i got nowhere, trying a new rom now to see if that helps, ripping my hair out over this all day long driving me crazy, now i remeber why i stopped using a cell phone
pissed
ive spent all day flashing crap roms that don't work, even supposably the best up to date stock rom i can get from this site, and nothing is working, every time it fails or sends me to endles boot loop;.;;about to see if evo will blend if you know what i mean....
Are you using a USB cable or a custom recovery to flash your roms?
Also, what version is your bootloader?
Finally, why the heck are you on CM7 instead of CM11?

i was using clockwork recovery to flash roms, ended up finally getting it to work by using a custom rom called "swagged out stock* it wasn't that great so i just updated prl and profile activated my new carrier and returned to CM7....
the reason im using cm7 instead of 11 is becuase i am using the evo 4g (supersonic) and the highest version available is 7.2 unless im wrong...
everything is working fine now so im happy, but curious as to why i might want cm11 on here or how i can even get it.

Oh sorry... I thought you had the evo 4g lte (jewel). There are some 10.1 and 10.2 unofficial ports for the supersonic, but I'm not sure of their quality...
Glad you found a way to solve your issue though!
