ok, i have full root, everything is done correct, super user access...everything
I had Damage Control 3.1.2, updated the radio it worked fine! then i went and updated wimax..and everything went to hell!!
i have tried to switching back and fourth between the different wimax radios, and sometimes it would come back..well i got sick of messing with it so i went back to stock with root! and now i cant seem to get 4g to work!
Under the Menu settings, software Info:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 1.36.00.04.02

PRI Version: 1.34_003
PRL Version: 60669
i just need to know which radio i should re try just to get my 4g back!!!
please help asap
Your title was a little misleading so I canged it accordingly.
I would suggest trying this to get you to 1.47 with all the the correct radio/wimax
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
Test that out -- it worked great for me.
From there, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 and download the 2.2 Rooted Odexed ROM, New radio, and new wimax. Follow the directions and make sure to do a full reboot after flashing each.

trying it now! im trying to avoid going to 2.2 until DamageControl releases their version...but i hope this works!
hey do i need to re root also? because i lost my root
wait, i just red you had to install super user, and its suppose to automatically root/nand/ and do everything? how is this possible
Can you post a little bit more detail as to what issues you are experiencing?
Is your 4G just stuck on scanning?
Is your 4G scanning > connecting to sprint > obtaining IP address > back to scanning > etc etc endless loop.
Have you checked to make sure your wimax mac id is still correct?
What area are you in? Try posting to see if anyone else in your area is experiencing problems. Just worth a try because earlier last week, I went through the trouble of flashing a bunch of different radios, reading through a bunch of fixes only to find out that other people in my area couldn't get 4G to sign on either. So it turned out that it was an issue with Sprint itself. Had to go one week without 4G but now its back on and its faster than before.

yes that is the problem i was going through, but at certain times on DamageControl it would start to work if i got lucky and got the right Wimax to work

super user does not automatically do anything. it simply provides /system access to those applications that require it.
if you applied either the leaked or the official froyo update that was not modified to maintain root access, you are out of luck for the time being.

That was the exact same problem I had on my phone. It turns out that 4G was just down in the area. I even went through the trouble of reflashing my wimax radios. What city are you in right now? I can try to search other forums to see if there are others in your area experiencing the same issues.
What you can do if you are still restless, run ADB and run wimax_mtd, you can either use ADB or you can also download Terminal Emulator from the market.
then type
su
wimax_mtd
Go through it and check to see if your wimax mac address is still correct by verifying it with the address you have underneath the battery.
Next would be to check if your user login info is still correct. It should be [email protected] I believe you can check this in the data settings. Just dial ##data#, you might need your MSL, but I think you can still go into view mode without the MSL. Im not really the best at explaining things in detail if any of this dont make sense, feel free to msg me. I'm fairly new but I do know how it felt to have 4G stop working all of a sudden.
Also I believe if you updated your wimax, your base rom must match for it to work. Such as the wimax from the 1.47 ota, you must be running a 1.47 base rom.
I assumed that you still had root. If you are not rooted, you are out of luck. You will need to root your phone before using the method. If you are on 2.2 without root, you are completely out of luck.
Using the whitslack method will not root/unlock nand for you -- it simply will update your phone to 1.47 with the corresponding radios.

If you ran the first part of Whitslack's method (putting the PC36IMG on your SD card and running it in bootloader) just do the second part (putting the superuser.apk on your SD card and flashing it in custom recovery) and you will have full root again.

i did man i installed superuser, and i have it, whats the easiest way to check for the root?
Rom Manager?
Update for our convo*
Ok just re got rom manager, and flashed Clockwork, so my root is still there
Actually I used whitslacks method and I did retain root. Since his pc136img contains the Dev hboot all I had to do was just as his thread says flash the superuser zip when you are done
Wow ignore my response was replying but the above posters have already beat me to it.

now do you guys think i should attempt to go back to DamageControl, and not mess with the radios this time..and it will still work?
If you are running the latest radios and wimax radio I would flash one of the newer 2.2 froyo roms.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7020516&postcount=3826
has anyone had any luck with it?
So a bit of background first...
Been with sprint a couple months now and had data issues since day 1 (between 7 and 15 kB/s at home)home is worse but it generally sucked everywhere. I waited a few weeks to root while trying to resolve, but as it was not being fixed (and I was told ota would fix issues as it was radoi software in my area) I went with Kindom as soon as V dropped it. (rocks BTW I flashed a handful of others but always went back to it)
OTA dropped and I tried V's updated and of course it didnt improve speeds in fact they got slower... Called sprint back and went through another 3-4 calls before they sent me back to store for a full software check and breakdown of my phone. At that point I put myself back to s-on and stock for the visit (glad I did as they checked bootloader)
I was told at that point that they could do nothing as it was a evo issue (wtf) so called retention and was sent a airwave (not using it as I pay for data so I ant using my isp for that) and then a few calls later they finally send me a phone through advanced exchange. (supposedly new)
Sorry for the long backstory but now to the point...
I was told when I called Ret. that she would give me a 200 credit, but then came back and was told I didnt have enough support tickets filed to do so, and my only option was to try a new phone. Got the phone planning to take pics and vids of speedtest to send back to verify it is not a issue with my specific phone (had 3 friends with evos that have same issues, but epic blows away our speed in my house... found that hard to believe when I first saw it)
Phone came in and its refurb. On top of that it is on the GB update, but has a PRI of 1.90_003. To me that didnt seem right as every evo I have seen OTA or rooted OTA had the 2.15 so has anyone else seen this?
I plan on calling sprint as it was supposed to be new, not refurb, but want to make sure that this isnt something I just dont know about (doubtful... seems almost like a previously rooted with s-on?) so I can limit my time on phone and have a good stance to argue... Spent 6 hours on the phone with them already this week and dont want anymore than I have to.
Hmm interesting situation i am not expert on sprint by any means but try to keep up with my phone. a good question to ask sprint or if anyone else knows is ... what is sprints policy on updating phone when they are "refurbished"? I'd assume that if it meets the req to be refurbished they most likely updated it to gingerbread before reboxing. I guess thats a thought sorry i can't help with ur data issues but good luck
Sorry I should have shortened it down to not confuse...
Isuue is not the GB, but the PRI that came with the GB as it is not the correct PRI for that version...
1.90_003 vs 2.15_003 (what it should be)
I dont even want to touch the phone and then when it gets sent back have issues with them saying I rooted it, as there is no way to flash to a correct PRI that I know of at this time..
Edit: Or they may in fact be shipping with that version. Just hoping for others response and experience as it seemed fishy.
have u tried downgrading to 1.77 as well ?
its a wake issue fix for some sense gb roms out there but once again not specific to your problem
Had an AE replacement done recently, picked up 3 days ago. I received a new unit with GB and the 2.15_003 PRI.
Cannot downgrade, upgrade, anything... As stated this is a refurb phone that just came in. It is on the 4.22 so as far as I know there is no way to flash anything...
Its not rooted, though may be a previously rooted phone...
Basically has anyone seen a NON-ROOTED phone come with GB and 1.90 PRI
Edit: Ty jadigy that was more of the answer I was looking for

yes my replacement that I just got today has PRI 1.90_003. I updated to 4.24.651.1 and still the same PRI.
Is there a way for non-rooted phones to update their PRI?

AFAIK there is not... hence my issue
After a couple hours on the phone with sprint (and a couple drinks after to make up for it) I was told it was a rooted device... I may have pointed them in that direction to get a replacement though. That said I also asked them if they were hiring as the first 6 people I talked to either did not know what a PRI was or simply did not know how to find out what was shipped with the 4.22 update.
I must say walking each one through the process only to be told they had no Idea and I finally asked for a store appointment. (hopefully a bit more luck there)
The general consensus seemed to be I should check to see if it said 2.3 for the android version and if it said anything but that (even 2.3.3 LOL) it was either a fake or rooted phone.
That said sprint has issues with their CS to say the least and I am thinking of starting a poll/ballot (probably not the right word... did I say a few drinks... I meant meant a few during and a few after) the devs/members here to work for sprint
sorry for cutting in..i just posted without reading this first,sry for that,but i am on the same pri,and it wont let me flash as well.1.90 003,this sucks

I called them last night too. Everytime I would say PRI they would say PRL, I finally explained the technical difference to the guy on the phone. Long story short he claimed their demo device was 1.90. Were you able to have them admit was version was the latest?
Is there a problem with having the 1.90 PRI or something?
Did you try the complete wipe with MSL and or other reset method that was used in the past to update the PRI. The real questions is why does it matter, but give it a shot.
To do a complete wipe, you will need your MSL code. Call sprint and they can give it to you.
Type in ##786# into the dialer, hit menu and chose reset and punch in your MSL. Your phone will clear out all data and settings except for your SD card. It will then reboot and do hands free activation, check for a PRL and firmware update. Somewhere in there you should get a newer PRI.
You can check your PRI version in About Phone under Software Information. If you don't succeed at first, keep trying...and trying...and trying.
Restoring your nandroid backup will not overwrite the new PRI, so you can get your phone back to the just the way you like it.
I'm not sure if there is a difference or just a placebo. Web pages seem to load faster. Some pre and post speed tests might have been helpful but I didn't have the foresight to do that.
Edit:
You may be able do the same thing without wiping your phone. Not sure if the wiping is a necessary part or what yet.
Steps:
Dial ##3282#
Enter Edit Mode
Enter your MSL
Select Data Profile
Menu
Restore
Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
Repeat until you have an updated PRI.

If I was rooted I could do that... I do not know my MSL code as it requires root access to gain. Unless there is a new root method to 2.3.3 that I am not aware of.. that will not work for us.

Just do an online chat and they will give it to you. I tried the ##3282# method last night, no go.
Also my speeds are consistently below 250 kbps since having my old one replaced.

With a post like that you should not care what PRI you have. You simply read a post and see that it says call "Sprint" You would need root to use an MSL reader from the market, but I don't believe this was ever mentioned. To do a full reset with the ## codes and the MSL you would not need ROOT.
Simply put if you are inquiring about the PRI or looking for a root method for an OTA 2.3.3 you must have not have used the search button.

Did you read any of this thread before making your post? I really don't care what PRI I have, I was merely commenting on a post of someone else who also just got a refurb like myself with the older PRI version that should have been updated when the EVO software was updated to 4.22.651.2. I then proceeded to ask what the disadvantage was about having a 1.90_003 PRI, which no one responded to. I could care less if I root my phone or not, but the instructions you provided clearly indicated root was required considering it says to do a nandroid backup. I understand that sometimes Sprint will give you the MSL code, but in my case so far they have not been willing to do so. I would like to have the most recent version of whatever is available for my phone. Thanks.

If they did not supply it to you then you went around it the wrong way. Try, "Mr. Sprint agent I recently updated to the OTA 2.3 and have been experiencing some issues. I believe that I may be able to correct them myself with a full reset. I have done some of the software resets in the OS itself by going to settings/SD & phone storage/ Factory data reset. And I am still not grabbing a good signal. I have updated my profile and PRL in the System updates but think I should do a full reset using the # codes. The only problem is I need my MSL. Would you be able to supply this for me so I can manually reset and program my phone? This will hopefully resolve my issues and complete all my needs for this phone call."

I can see your confusion with referencing a "Nandroid" and thinking this means you have to be Rooted. You can do all of the # codes without being Rooted. You need Root for a "Nandroid", you are correct. I am throwing out all of the actions in one step so this could apply to a rooted or non rooted users in some fashion. I usually always supply too much information rather than too little, so again I hope that clears up the confusions.
I myself am currently stuck on 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1 and am waiting for what everyone else is that is stock.
Hey guys. I've been doing a bit of searching and have only been confused! I have an Evo4G from Sprint and I want to flash it over to be used on either Alltel or Cricket.
I say Alltel or Cricket, because from what i've been reading, there are alot of problems switching these phones to alltel..So i'm looking for suggestions from you guys as far as which to flash. Either will be fine, I just want whichever will work best.
Also, I have found a lot of information about PRL's..But i'm still confused as how to flash to one of these services. The phone is already rooted and running ICS (4.0.3)
So please guys, any information will be greatly appreciated! I'm doing this for a friend and was suppose to have it done by tomorrow, but i've been having so much trouble. I've never done anything like this on a CDMA network. I can normally unlock a phone and pop a sim card into it. I know from reading that I will have to flash some alltel files to it..I'm just having issues finding the correct files and a working guide.
Oh and in case location matters, (if i'm not mistaken other carriers own alltel in certain areas,) i'm in Western North Carolina
Here is the guide I use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934417
You will use qspt to flash the prl to your phone. You will need to be on a Sense 1.0 rom, or a Sense rom that has ##codes working.
As for MMS, I have never been able to get it to work, with new apns, gosms or any other way that's on the net. However I did find a solution that costs $5, and it works. Lemme see if I can find it again.
Thanks. I'm going to try it now.
Interesting........I'll have to check that guide out

you can use pretty much any modern Sense rom. Sense 3.0 and below seem to be best with getting MMS to work. Haven't made it work with Sense 3.5+ or any AOSP roms yet.
Hey guys
CSpire Wireless formerly Cellular South has finally released their Galaxy S3. The model number is SCH-L710. The reason I am asking this question here and not in a different carriers forum is the L710 in model number. I don't pretend to understand why certain carriers GS3's are labeled with different model numbers, but I thought that since your GS3 and mine both have L710 I thought that possibly the hardware was closer to the same than say verizon's which is a completely different model designation. That being said I am desperate for a custom rom but don't wanna just go flashing any GS3 roms out there to see if any will work on my network. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I had a way to odin flash a stock rom in case any problems arise. Anyway if someone is kind enough and generous enough to help me locate a stock odin flashable rom, then I would be willing to help in any way I can to find a usable rom or port for my version of this great phone.
Thank you so much in advance
I went ahead and flashed the latest CM10 nightly for the Sprint version. Everything seems to be fine, except for data. I still have data, but it is very flaky and won't hardly hold a signal. I suspect it to be the PRL or CM itself.
We definitely need a stock rom for CSpire. I am willing to help any way I can.

Good luck finding that. Cspire keeps things like that unattainable. Unless *228 will work properly to update prl. Should anyone come across it please let me know. Bout to flash CM10
What about using QPST or something to pull the PRL off of a stock device? Can we get someone to do this before flashing any ROMs?
Okay. First of all, I didn't think to look at the PRL before I went and flashed the Sprint CM10. But now it says 20005. I restored my nandroid backup and pulled this PRL from my phone with QPST 2.7.374. In DFS Tool, I noticed there was a CSpire PRL 10009. I wrote this PRL to the Phone and am getting much better service on the stock TW ROM.
HOWEVER, I flashed the Sprint CM10 again and the same thing happened. It says PRL 10009, but there is little to no service and when it does have a little service, it is very flaky and eventually ends up with no data connection at all. Any more suggestions or ideas?

qpst still says no phone under the phone column no matter what i try
So far, this is what I have done:
First I used the following tool to download drivers for my phone and root ( via option 4 in the program).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
I used CWM to make a nandroid backup.
Next, I flashed the latest CM nightly for the Sprint version here:
http://get.cm/?device=d2spr
After doing this, everything worked fine, EXCEPT for data. I dialed *228 and let it do its thing. I actually had data, but the signal was extremely weak and very flaky. After messing with settings it would usually drop it altogether.
I restored my nandroid backup and noticed that although I had data, it seemed to be weaker than before ( although that may just be me).
I decided to follow the following guide on how to get the PRL from the phone:
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/419514-how-get-prl-off-your-phone.html
The version of QPST on that post was outdated, so I found and used QPST 2.7.374, which I posted a link to earlier in the thread.
I managed to copy the 20005 PRL off of my phone and saved it.
I then started up DFS Tool and wrote the CSpire 10009 PRL to my phone.
I get much better service on the stock ROM, but the Sprint CM builds still do the same thing. No data.
UPDATE: I did a *228 to get back on the 20005 PRL and it is working just as well as the 10009 PRL now.
Also, as OBSt4l0n discovered, there's simultaneous voice and data. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or if this was happening before flashing roms
and PRL's.
Okay. We no longer believe it's the PRL causing the problems. More info to come. May be slower over the weekend with weekend stuff and all.

Out of curiosity, Could it be the APN's causing the issues? And from what I've seen the vzw variant seems closer to the cspire. but its hard to say. Just to try and eliminate possible causes, I would reccomend flashing this here and see if you get the same issues. http://goo-inside.me/devs/aokp/d2vzw/aokp_d2vzw_jb_build-4.zip Its AOKP for the vzw variant. I have used it as my daily driver for the past week and I'm on Sprint. Dont have to change anything in it, just flash.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks. I'm tempted to try this but the only problem is I don't have a way of going back to stock. I did, however make a backup through cwm but I wish there was an absolute stock cspire rom out there. I would love to test out developer's roms and provide feedback if somebody knows where I could get a stock rom to flash for cspire's gs3....

Just tried this and still no data. We need a dev to look into this. Apparently there is something internal in code stopping our radio from functioning properly. I have attempted to pull my RIL file and insert it in cm10 then rebooting and no luck. Still no data. Any devs out there willing to look into this for us?

Yes you can. You just need to flash a metro prl to your phone, and then contact them. They should be able to do the rest ota. You can get a metro prl here http://www.corolada.com/prl/. If on a stock rom you can flash it with epst, if not you need to use a pc program called QPST.
Man you are the greatest..Seriously!
Im gonna try it right now
Although i need help because QPST cant detect the phone. Im pretty sure that means that the phone needs to be in diagnostic mode
But im trying to get in it but i can't. Does it have to do with being in Tiny's CM10 and not stock?
Well update, i went to gingerbread and changed the prl but i dont think my number got transfered although the metropcs system works
Any help with this?

Simply changing the prl will not program your phone. The prl meerly allows metro to comunicate with the phone. Im not sure exactly how metros system works. Do you already have an account and number from metro, and is the phones meid registered on metro? If it is you can probably dial *228 and select the option to program if metro uses this option. If you dont have an accout or your phone isnt registered with metro, you will need to call them and do so. You just give them the phones meid they register it, and then program the phone ota (over the air).
