4G link drops and reconnects after idling?

I have been experiencing a problem with 4G since I NAND unlocked my phone according to Toastcfh's procedure. The phone will connect to 4G and transfer data. The problem is that when data is sent after the phone has been idling, the 4G link drops and then reconnects. I've tried NAND restoring my phone to a point before the NAND unlock, but the problem persists. I did not have this problem until after NAND unlocking.
I don't know whether it is related to the above problem, but when I updated the radio to 1.39.00.05.31 after the NAND unlock, I did not see the same radio flashed correctly confirmation that I saw when I did the same update after only "half rooting" the phone. The radio update got stuck "formatting cache..." so I followed did as recommended by others and manually wiped the cache.
Does the NAND unlock process cause something to change that is not undoable? This is really screwing up my phone experience.

This is common, you need to reset your idle time via the MSL trip with the ##DATA# menu. I am at work and can't dig around in the forums but search for MSL and ##DATA# and you will find it.

Same boat here, look forward to the fix!

The only ROM/Radio combinations that I have been able to get full, stable 4g functionality (talk & Internet, stabile 4g connection ETC) has been....
1) Flash original RUU,
2) Do a Full root using Toasts steps 1&2,
3) Full wipe and flash a rooted stock Rom either 1.32.651.1 or 1.32.651.6 from FlipZ
4) Re-flashing radio 1.39.00.05.31 radio if you flash 1.32.651.6.
5) Increase the WIMAX Idle Time via
hit ##DATA# > Edit mode.
Put in your msl code
Chose WIMAX
Scroll down to Wimax_Idle_Sleep
Change the value from 10 to 300.
Click menu, commit changes and restart the phone.
I have tried most if not all of the custom ROMS using the same method and have not been able to get the same stability as I have with the rooted stock ROMS from FlipZ.

Thanks for the help. I am able to get a stable 4G link.
Makes me wonder though...why did that setting stop working once the phone was NAND unlocked? Did the value get changed?

We aren't sure.

[Q] text message problem

OK I have a Sprint GNex that is rooted with unlocked boot loader. It is on stock ICS 4.0.4. I can not send or receive regular text messages. Picture messages work fine. I tryed deleting the moms.apk with sysappremover and installing a new moms.API file I found on this site but it will not install. Also 3rd party messaging apps do not work . I am guessing it is some setting but I can not find any advanced text settings. Is my only fix to use Odin to completely reset the phone? Thanks in advance for any help

you need to correct your SMSC settings.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SMSC_Updates
use this guide and it should help you out.

When I follow those directions it gives me a refresh error and a update error. Any other ideas?

call sprint and ask them directly for the correct information.

You have to click only update...So you used this and gave you an error?
07917140140000F0

What info should I ask them for? That number on the site you linked seems to be correct from various sources

yes sir used that exact number. when i enter it it says update error in the field and erases my number

i guess going back to stock will be my next move

Well back at stock with locked boot loader and still getting refresh error and update error in the smsc screen sprint started a repair ticket on it and are supposed to call me in 24-48 hrs...people who have gsm gnex say that putting the sim card in another phone fixes it but since we have no sim I am not sure what to do

Still in same spot. Started sprint fix ticket and they keep moving fix day back saying they are waiting on a part. Sounds like BS to me but maybe this has happiness to one of you also...anyone?

flashed 00001 prl and lost service

i flashed the .000001 prl and i lost service using dfs tool. i saved my original but i guess there was an error while saving. I was trying to revert back to original so i flashed the stock rom again and it didnt do anything i figured it has nothing to do with the rom. could someone help.

i reverted to stock rom and ran the prl updater and its still not working.

Download a new prl (25006) and rename it to TEST.prl and place it on the root of your sd card. Then go into dialer (be on a touchwiz rom) and dial ##3282#, go to view, then prl write. It'll load the test.prl and reboot. Should be fixed then.

Flash the attached one and it will get u back on sprint. update the prl in the settings once ur done flashing my attached one.
00001 is a hacked verizon one which is why you cant use the menu to update. If ur going to use a hacked one use 01337 it works best. 00001 is outdated. the ##3282# method only seems to work when it wants to i dont reccomend it especially for these hacked prls it doesn't seem to like them

thank you for the replies trying it now

i tried both options and neither of them worked its still saying PRL version 1 in the phone status

check ur pm

Just for the record I was having the hardest time getting this method to work at all not realizing the the prl's I had downloaded had to be extracted first maybe its a nood mistake but never the less havent had a problem sense and also data has to be off for this to work or at least it did for me. Hope this helps

It'll fail because his prl is Verizon only.

put the options under mobile network to cdma then write your prl or try cdma/lte then try to write it again that could do it another option is to use hidden menu app then choose efs sync i cant remember where it is exactly another way is to do ##786# hit reset then enter your msl

You don't flash the recovery by using Unrevoked, because if you even try, it would be like re-rooting, which can lead to some serious issues. You need to get into HBOOT and flash something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
When you say the phone "turns on", does it boot into the ROM? The combination of buttons you are holding should take you to HBOOT...

I found it. You have to power down and select reboot then recovery. I reflashed everything is good except I still get an error 67.

You said the error happened two days after you flashed that ROM... Do you have an unlimited data plan? Were you using the tether and/or other networking services excessively? And please expand more on "wouldn't take an update", screenshots and your current PRL/profile would be somewhat helpful.
RC1024 said:
For error 67, and this applies to most sprint phones that use Vision, Powervision, EVDO, Etc. Error 67 indicates that the username or password stored in your phone is incorrect. this condition is very rarely related to the coverage in an area, usually occurs after recent device swap, or attempting to use modem/hotspot while your account does not have a valid modem/hotspot plan.
Before going through too much effort, you should power your phone off, then back on, update your profile (this varies by model support.sprint.com has guides for most phones) and determine that the feature that you are attempting to use should work ( for example to use hotspot, you must be subscribed to hotspot. to use phone's web browser the web service should not be blocked, Etc.)

Update: Have you ever considered doing a nandroid backup, then reverting to a purely stock ROM to restore your PRL? That may very well be the answer...

now I've done it

Before I read your last post, I used titanium backup and only restored my contact list. It prompted me to reboot after the restore, so I did. Now all I have is a white screen that says htc evo 4g on it. Pulled battery two times----it cant get past evo 4g screen. Thanks for your help---any suggestions?

I'm assuming you were on an aosp ROM, coming to a sense ROM. When you restore data back (as in 4.0.4 --> 2.3.5) it causes problems.

Power off the phone, then hold the power button and the volume down button together; this should bring you to HBOOT. Once inside HBOOT, you should be able to select "Recovery" from the list of options.

[Q] ##Data# Corrupted -- Device refuses to provision data

Hi,
I'm at wits end. I recently updated to GA10, but through a bad flash (I believe), my device lost ALL data for the modem. It now refuses to provision any data. Voice works, and is provisioned correctly.
Have Sprint.
Sprint has tried ##72786, ##RDB, full factory reset, settings -update profile, pushing reactivation, ##123456, ##update, everything. No amount of stupid stuff has seemed to work. My ##data profile is completely empty. Does anyone have any idea how I can rebuild it?

Restore it. Hopefully will get your EFS back.

Well, I'd like to, but apparently restoring it borks the system. So I tried to just advanced restore the datat. It looks like it's all corrupted. Does anyone know where I can find the file containing my sprint data settings?

Sometimes Sprint does have OTA provisioning issues, so it could be a problem with the tower you are near.
Regardless, here are some quick tips on how I would fix it in your shoes:
1) Install Stock, non-rooted software (pick your flavor of one-click). The new GA10 leak is fine.
2) After phone reboots, it will try to OTA provision. Click cancel.
3) Go to phone, ##786#, enter your MSL, phone will reboot.
4) After phone reboots, it will try to OTA provision. Let it. If it works, great. Otherwise, post what error code you get (if any)
5) Go to phone, ##(MSL)#, Edit, punch in your phone number and MSID (not always the same as your phone number, so make sure you have the correct info), click OK, reboot.
6) After phone reboots, it will try to OTA provision. Let it. If it works, great. Otherwise, post what error code you get (if any).
6b) If it doesn't provision, make sure you can make/receive calls.

Nah
Already tried all of that. The screen says: Error: Error downloading data (or something like that)
Sadly, I sent my phone in. I couldn't live with it. I had tried everything I knew to do. Full factory reset, swap esn's on spint's side, everything. Hopefully It's better now though.
