Hey guys,
my name is Josh and I've looked online all over for a solution, if you happen to have one please notify me asap becaues im stumped!
Anyways, heres the deal.
A while back I installed a ROM im not sure which one it was but it was one i had to flash a new Radio & Wimax. With that being said, I didnt really realize it until a day late but my 4G was stuck on "Toggling still in progess, please wait..." i ignored it thinking it'd go away eventually or after a reboot and new rom etc.
3 roms later... still no difference. right away i know it was not the rom or a hardware issue (considering i got this phone less then 2-3 months ago and its in MINT condition.
*getting to the point. I've looked online hearing about all these RSA keys getting messed up from flashing radios improperly, (proof that im a total FROOB) So i downloaded the RSA Key tester from the market place and it tells me i have RSA keys, now im not sure if this tell me they are working but they obviously arent. after a ton of data resets, rom reflashes, etc. my 4g now is not stuck turning on or toggling in process, but is now going from "turning on" to "unable to start 4g" it doesnt even search for a 4g signal or show anything else that ive showed. im willing to do whatever it takes to fix this. ive tried doing a back up of my RSA keys and i used the terminal emulator to do so. i have the OEM file but not sure what to do now.
Another thing that stumps me is that i have installed the same rom on my co-workers phones without flashing the new radio & wimax like the rom told me to do, and their phones work flawlessly.
Lastly, I am new to these forums (obviously first post) Do you guys know of anyway to fix this 4G epidemic? If i have stated any above information incorrectly please inform me and it wont happen again.
Thanks in advance for any type of info guys.
Install terminal from the market.
Launch.
Type su
Press enter
Type wimax_mtd
Press enter
Does it load? If it loads then it'll tell you the wimax version. Don't copy and post it here.
Otherwise, it'll give you an issue that it can't load it

Thanks for the quick reply!
It gave me an ERROR reading the WiMAX partition
and was stopped after checking the "Firmware version () ..............."
I also forgot to add this in, I was fed up with this earlier i was working on this for like 5 hours and i found the "format wimax" option in the clockworkmod recovery and i hit it, and at the reboot i got stuck in a bootloop and had to reset everything, i dont know if this did anything to my Wimax.
When you "format wimax", doesn't it wipe your wimax partition?
I could be wrong about that, since I try to not mess with wimax stuff.
Before I read your last post, I was going to suggest flashing an older wimax version. Run the key checker app again and see if it gives you the same outcome. If it says that your keys are missing, see if you can find a nandroid from before you had the problems that includes a wimax.img. If you have one, restore it.
If the problem persists after restoring, then try flashing an older wimax version.

Try reflashing the WIMAX piece and download here. Here's the thread.
Boot to recovery and flash the file....MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A LOT BATTERY LIFE LEFT AND DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY. LET IT DO IT'S THING.
Then reboot. Run the terminal app and commands and tell us what happens. By the way, I'm not yelling, I just wanted to emphasize it

I ran into a similar problem with another Evo and the check version just crapped out. I flashed the WIMAX and it worked fine right after. Hopefully the same happens to him.
@spyd312
Okay, is it alright to do the flash while the phone is plugged in because im in the yellow for battery :X
Another thing is, should i update my profile before i flash the wimax or after? or should i not do it at all?

Luckily i have about 3 backups before the Wimax ever messed up and of course before i "formatted wimax" It could wipe the Wimax partition because thats what was missing when ran the check in the terminal but i will boot my phone up and check for the RSA keys again, and if they're not found ill try flashing the Wimax and see what goes through then.
*EDIT: Ouchh my RSA keys are not found. Should i do a nand restore to before i formatted my wimax or just flash the wimax now? im torn between 3 steps.
[ ] Flash Wimax now, w/ Missing RSA Keys.
[ ] Nand Restore then flash Wimax
[ ] Nand Restore / Update Profile then Flash Wimax
Which one would you guys recommend? Again sorry I have made this so difficult. I R NUB
*2ND EDIT: My RSA keys were present before i formatted my Wimax.
Okay, is it alright to do the flash while the phone is plugged in because im in the yellow for battery :X
Wait until you're half-way because it won't charge in recovery.

I don't think you lost your keys. I think your wimax is just temporarily hosed. Get that sucker juiced and hopefully it works out.

Try restoring to a backup when everything worked

Tried restoring everything and no luck man. =/ I have no idea what to do again lol
If the radio is successfully flashed and the wimax_mtd displays correctly, but you're still unable to connect, then I don't know what else you can try. If your nearest sprint store has 4G, then I would drive next to it and try it out. If it still doesn't work. Then hopefully you have warranty and state that you 4G doesn't work. You'll have to restore everything to S-on etc.
I do have warranty, but to go through that hassel is going to be a headache i just know it :/ I can do it by this weekend maybe. Im going to look online for a few solutions first. I know i can live without 4G but thats not a feature to go without =/ So theres no way to just completely set everything to default (wimax/radio/rsakeys)? i have a feeling if i find a way to get my Keys back it'll work

In your recovery folder (Clockwork or Nandroid), do you have a file called wimax? If not, then you should check other backups until you find one that does. Then restore that ROM. Hopefully you've been restoring from a backup that didn't have the wimax partition backed up.
You should try this too

Hey everyone. between my brothers and I, we have five Evo's. two of us are running full roots and nand unlocks, the other three are using unrevoked. those that unrevoked can use the wifi router without issue, but for my brother and myself, using the wifi router results in the app crashing and having to force close.
has anyone seen anything similar? can anyone offer me some solution?
and btw, this is my third rom. they all have the same results(full wipe, data and davik cache clear each time)
Delete wi fi tether from the phone and re-download it. This has worked for me everytime i change roms =)
Hope it helps.
Do you mean the wireless tether app? I am running my own rom but it seems that it worked for me when I was using fresh. But that is the only other rom I have tried. Have you tried re-installing the tether app?
I'm not sure i can remove the base wifi tether app. it's always cooked into the rom. and i have tried reinstalling the app. i've gone from the original version, to the newer version and finally the beta version with no luck
I was having this issue for awhile. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but my work around was:
1. Re-install from the market place (Do not launch)
2. Reboot
3. Install this version http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk&can=2&q=NexusOne
(Don't lanch)
4. Reboot
5. Should work now
Hmmmmmm. I am sure someone else can offer better advice, but does the super user app come up to ask for permission or it fc's before that?

okay, i did exactly as you said. now the app will start, but as soon as i click on the wifi symbol, it thinks for a second and says "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!"
Edit: and on first run, it asked me for super user permissions. i click grant and checked the box to allow future requests
I am not sure if your signature is correct but have you tried flashing the newest radio? I am not sure if that would fix it or not. And the same thing happens to the other phone? Puzzling indeed. I'm sure someone will drop in and tell you how to fix it soon. Worst case, start over. Even though I know you said you tried various roms, maybe you are accidentally skipping a step, I do that sometimes

Ok, go back through the same process and try this one instead of what was in step 3.

If that doesn't work, I've got nothing else. The first one was the beta you probably tried earlier. This is the stable one; however, I never tried it with this one. I always got it working using the 2_0_5 version.
Also, for ****s and giggles, have you tried updating you profile and prl?
- you didn't flash the wireless n patch over a 1.47 base Rom correct? Can you connect to a WiFi router or is it just the tether app?

uh....what?? you got me there! i thought i knew what those were, but it escapes me now.
the only thing i can think of is that the rooting process screwed up somehow. but for it to screw up in the same way for two separate phones is odd, but it's the only thing that has remained constant since the very beginning.
Menu - settings - system updates. The profile and prl won't mess with root or anything but its something I have heard to do in this case. Don't know if it will help.
Also did you see the note about the wifi n patch on the other page? I added it after I posted... like this

Well crapola. I think I'm outta ideas man. if you didn't patch the wireless n over a 1.47 Rom then I have no clue what it could be. maybe Sprint is spying on you and has your phones on lock down! but if you can't find the answer just try starting fresh. it might be a pain but who knows what little quirk could have gotten messed up.

Hey guys so after flashing a rooted 3.29 ROM and the latest WiMax/Radio/PRI, my 4G is not working. It will turn on fine and then say Connecting to Sprint then Authenticating to Sprint and then it goes back to Scanning. It should connect fine because I'm in an area with GREAT 4Gband it worked fine here before updating all that ****. If anyone can help that'd be awesome as I love my 4G. I'm no noob so it's especially frustrating but I can imagine people are having similar issues. Thanks in advance.
You know what? I saw this same problem happening over in Freshhh's thread and some people are reporting that updating their PRL and profile fixed the problem. Maybe give that a shot and see if it works?

I tried that but no dice. Basically it looks like it's going to connect but it doesn't - it starts with "Connecting to Sprint" then goes to "Authenticating to Sprint," then "Disconnecting," and finally "Scanning."
I found out that I had a bad MAC address so I fixed it, but it still isn't working. I'm so frustrated at this point.
Your RSA Key has been altered...only know fix is finding one of YOUR backups of wimax.img in /sdcard/nandroid...sorry

I found this post that seems to show you whether you're super screwed or not. I just realized I'm having the same problem now too with 4G. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was happening last Saturday when I was in a 4G area. Hmmm..... I'm gonna have to make time to go back to my parent's house and try to fix this. Anyway, if I come across something I'll let you know Mack.
Mack,
Have you tried to flash back to RUU 1.47 and going back to stock? I've read here (post 7) that that might do the trick. I was thinking the same thing as well but I'm looking for some proof that it's gonna work. What really sucks is that I actually have to go to a 4G area tonight but I got business there and can't work on the phone as the same time. Talk about being tempted to blow off responsibilities.....

I hear you on that - I've actually heard that once you lose wimax keys then they're gone, nothing you can do really =/ I'm still investigating
Take your wimax.img and flash it in a PC36IMG.ZIP and let it flash. Guaranteed wimax will work if your rsa keys are in it and you mac is correct
AmonRA recovery seems to be key to preventing borked 4G...if you have any nandroids that you made while 4G was working w/ AmonRA version 1.8 recovery, you can flash it and it will restore your RSA certs.
4G fixed, flashed an old nandroid wimax.img

Thank you for that little tid bit.
After flashing the newest radio and pri my 4g got borked. It would connect and then immediately drop. After a PRL update and reboot it wouldn't even connect anymore, just scan and then turn off. I went to go restore from an earlier nandroid only to find out i had some bad checksums on the two recent nandroids I had made with 1.8 and therefore it wouldn't restore. Arg! Even though I had 4 other nandroids, they were made with 1.7 and I'm guessing that wimax support wasn't added till 1.8. Then I found here that I could just take the individual wimax.img file out, move it to a PC36IMG.zip file and then flash using bootloader. That fixed it! 4G is working like a champ again.
Many thanks to you and everyone whose posts I've been scanning for a glimmer of hope the past 5 hours. Weeeeee!
Well I found time to work on my 4g issues while I was in northwest indiana today and all I did was flash to the newest fresh rom and my 4g came back. Gotta be honest though - I was a little terrified there for a second. RA recovery FTW baby!

Having a hell of a time getting my evo 4g to change to s on. I have successfully unrooted it but the s off remains there. I need to take it back to sprint for repairs.
I have tried several with the recent unrevoked 3. But my results are after flashing "waiting 5 seconds because windows hates" message and the other says waiting to reboot" (both freezes forever). Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks you.
Newsflash. I've never heard one story of Spring checking a bootloader to make sure a phone is S-On.
Flash A stock ROM and you;ll be good, although there have been posts that say Sprint will work on Rooted phones now.

You have to have a custom recovery to do that (Amon-RA or Clockwork). You need to reinstall Amon-Ra Recovery by putting this in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip": http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Then flash this: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
After that just run an RUU from here: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu
In case the RUU won't work from your computer, download one of the ZIP ones, put it in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip". That always works.
I am not sure what you mean by "Spring checking but I have flashed the stock rom PC36IMG.zip onto the root of the sd. My understanding that once your successful doing this you basically revert to the original rom. I have done that thanks to this site. But, I cannot for the life of me get the s on back on. Rooting my phone with three different custom roms were easier. Not all Spring stores like rooted phones. Id rather revert to original with the s on to be sure. product F thanks for the reply I will try that..perhaps I missed something. Thank You.

That plus the leaked document from the sprint employee forums that said that sprint supports rooted devices means we don't have to fret over s-on for service just make sure that your phone is running a sense rom when it is taken in otherwise they can't use the diagnostic commands from the dialer to fully support the device.

Thanks for staying with me. Appreciate it.
Here is how I wasable to get to recovery to get to the root directory for choosing zip from sd.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
It was the connection and discnnection of th usb cable. Everything was in green. Is that normal.
So, my next step was to flash the forever s on zip. The results were unsupported radio version. Update failed. The current version I have is 2.15.00.05.02. on the new update on my evo. I tried it first by removing the pc36img.zip nd then tried it with it on...same results.
So I found this radio version (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_003), but I am not sure if this is what version is needed. Anyways, I apologize for this long everyone, but I am trying to provide as much info and hopefully I can minimize your time. Thanks alot.

The radio package you mention is the same radio you already have, so you'll want an older version. I'm not exactly sure of the version number, but I do know that is not the correct one.
Remember when you flash radios to not pull the battery. It'll flash, then upon rebooting it'll finish. You'll see a screen that you probably haven't seen before, it'll most likely be an arrow pointing down to a phone or an Android in a box... or something like that. Regardless of what you see after the flash, don't freak out and pull the battery - you'll end up bricking your phone. It's one of the few ways to guarantee a real brick, the phone will never turn on again. You may already know this, or it may be in whatever guide you're using, but it's good to know.
Anyway, I'll see if I can find the correct radio for you, and good luck!
Edit: I read somewhere that someone used this one to get s-on: http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ymbhaa0ltcvyy
However, you may need to do some trial and error. It should work, but here's a link to all of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
These are from Calkulin, so if they're PC36IMG files you'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure you flash them in recovery. Sorry, it's late & I'm lazy. Anyway, I think Calkulin still uses amend scripting, which will render them incompatible with ClockworkMod. You'll either need to switch to Amon Ra to flash them or find a different flashable zip. I think you'll only need to flash the radio, not all of them, but I could be wrong.

You don't need S-OFF to have sprint work on your phone for repair. My cousin just got an insurance replacement Evo 4g because he washed his phone with his clothes. He brought it over to me to be rooted and the phone he got was already S-OFF and that is an Insurance REFERB. also with the leaked forum of how Sprint will infact work on Rooted phones gives it away that you dont need S-OFF
Plainjane. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the zip from the first site you showed here and it ran well with the exception that it got stuck on formatting cache. So, I rebooted. s off still on. I will try the next one here in a few. Thanks everyone.
s on
well. While I continue to try and solve this puzzle I will attempt to attach this link on how to flash a radio to evo. i take no credit.
well i am happy to say i have finally go the s on back on. I believe the problem was that i left the recovery supersonic ra image on the root directory of the sd. i deleted that and flashed the supersonic s on image and voila!!! Everythin crumbled under the rosario wrath and s on is on. Thats Boricua power. My next problem is flashing sense back on. Khilbron, I wasnt ignoring your post on sense, it was just I was trying to get the other things done. So can you please expand on the sense. Thanks to everyone who took out the time even you kipkat with your kind of unfriendly comments. Dueces.

i took my phone back to sprint and they replaced both speakers. now to root again.
Again. Want to thank everyone for their help.
Hey guys! I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but i have a T-mobile GS3. I got tired of waiting for the JB OTA update, so i decided to root my phone and try out CM10. I followed the instructions on how to do the one click method using MSkip's Toolkit. I made a full Nandroid backup thru ClockworkMod before and thought we'd be good. After trying CM10 I wanted to restore my backup. After doing so, I have NO DATA connectivity thru the phone. It worked fine on CM10 initially, but now, no matter what ROM I use or backup i restore to, it still wont connect. All i have is EDGE network.
All i want to do now is use TriangleAway, unroot, and OTA update to stock JB for now. Strangely enough my app's that are already on the phone WILL update using EDGE network, but wont allow me to access the PlayStore. I'm in over my head now, so I'm asking for help. It's been over a week now searching thru forums, but i cant find any solutions. Geez...I'm a NOOB...i know.
I dont have an EFS backup.
Can ANYBODY help me out, PLEASE?

I could keep finding more for you, but this should suffice. You should've backed up more then just the rom itself... hope you get it back.
Try switching Airplane mode on and off, doesn't work? Try going to settings mobile networks and Data connection, check and uncheck few times, it worked for me
Go To settings -> About Device -> Status
Do you have an "IMEI"? Is it 14 digits or so? or does it say "UNKNOWN?
APN

Not to be obvious but did you check the APN?
is it still there ?
is it correct?
IMEI gone
Thanks mt3g for the links! can't believe i couldn't find those.
So i just checked my phone and the IMEI is gone. I believe those links have the instructions on how to restore my IMEI, correct?
I can't wait to get home from work and get this thing FIXED! I'll keep you guys posted.

IMEI restored...
Hey guys! good news/bad news. I got the IMEI restored to my phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29514187
the link above has all the resources on how i did it.
Now that the IMEI is restored i am still working on the EDGE only issue. I'm researching it now. i'll keep you posted.
any ideas/suggestions are always appreciated! thanks fellas
UPDATE:
I've been searching the forums for a few hours now and there are many links, but none seem very conclusive.
Does anybody have any solid directions/tips? Im glad to have my IMEI back, but want my DATA back, dangit.
This is driving me crazy!
Much thanks for any help!
did you go back through the hidden menu after all is done and set USB settings back to MTP + ADB?
I did change those settings back, mt3g. i did find one post that seems helpful...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
however, it seems quite complicated and has alot of disclaimers...
im willing to try it out, but seeing as how im uneducated enough to have gotten myself into this problem in the FIRST place...im not so confident. haha.
are you familiar with this method? does it work?
Reflash your phone back to stock via ODIN. Confirm data is back and then go back to toying with your phone.
If data is not back, you're probably SOL.

I just went through the same thing. Use qpst to backup qnc file (once you are sure your imei is back restored) to desktop. Then use qnc generator to open that backup and save it with a different name to desktop. Then open qpst and go to restore and choose the new qnc that was generated and restore it. Flash the modem of your choice and voila. Back in action. Working perfect now. 4G is around 7-9mb in the New Orleans area where I am.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but haven't been unable to pinpoint my problem. I have a s3 on boost mobile rooted and running custom rom. My daily rom is dandroid. By the way, all these roms are for sprint. On dandroid (4.1 android), I have no data issues whatsoever. When I flash the collective (4.3 android) I have data when I first reboot and if I don't turn on wifi data will work fine until I turn on wifi. By the way, wifi works good too but when I turn wifi off, it somehow breaks the data connection. I have no data, nothing.Sometimes a reboot will turn data back on, other times no. I also get the error when it first reboots where it says something to the effect androidprocess.com has stopped. I go into settings-mobile network-network operator and comes up error while searching for networks. I'm thinking possibly that this error with not being able to find a network is somehow related to the issues I'm having. Once I turn wifi off, I cannot get data to work again. I have tried this on my home wifi and a open network at work and same issue. I have communicated with one of the rom developers and gave him a logcat of when this issue happens but he is unable to isolate the problem. I also flashed dirtyunicorns (after doing full wipe), another 4.3 rom and and I have the exact same issues with wifi breaking data when I turn it off. After this, I have gone back to my backup of dandroid (4.1 rom) and I have no data issues anymore. I can turn wifi on and off no problem and it doesn't affect my data connection. I beginning to think somehow its related to the 4.3 version but this is unconfirmed. If anyone has any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I flashed my evo 4g with nitrous rom 1.6.3. It worked great for two days then I got error 67 code. I tried to update profile,had no luck. Now I went to try and get back to recovery mode to reflash but it wont let me the phone just restarts. any ideas to get back to recovery mode?

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...

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...

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.
