Hey guys,
Wondering if you guys can help me out. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue here.
My wife's EVO gets no 3G. We both have EVOs and live in a 3G area. I rooted both phones. I rooted mine a while back before the OTA 2.3 update with Unrevoked, so my hboot is still the 2.10. I rooted my wife's EVO just last week with Revolutionary b/c she installed the OTA 2.3 update.
My wife had been complaining that her phone is slow with data connectivity even before I rooted the phone. Since the closest Sprint repair store is about 30 miles away, I wanted to try and fix her phone to avoid the drive. Plus I like troubleshooting and learning more about Android.
I have used various ROMs on my phone and currently like MikG 2.55. Both our phones are currently running MikG 2.55. Now with this ROM, I noticed that if your phone is not connected to 3G, it will give the 1X icon instead of the 3G icon. My wife's EVO doesnt connect to 3G where as mine does.
I've updated her PRL and Profile through system updates in the settings and still nothing. I did notice that her EVO is using a different radio than mine so i thought maybe falshing her radio might make a difference. Only this is, that I have been researching and a lot of people are saying not to flash radios b/c it can cause problems.
My phone has
Hboot 2.10.0001
PRL version 60681
PRI version 1.90_003
Baseband version (radio) 2.15.00.11.19
ROM MikG 2.55
My wife's phone has
Hboot (pre-root)2.16.0001 (rooted) 6.1xxxx
PRL version 60681
PRI version 2.15_003
Baseband version (radio) 2.15.00.08.08
ROM MikG 2.55
I believe the Hboot versions have no reason why she can't connect to 3G but not sure of the PRI version, radio version. I've also been thinking about flashing the radio/PRL/wimax combo but wanted to get the experts say on it first.
I do not want to mess up her phone b/c it took me a long while to convince her to switch over from her IPhone 3gs (she was having issues with her Iphone). I want her to start loving Android, as I do, over Iphone.
Please help,
Thank you
Try to toggle the airplane mode on and off about 3 times while 3g is on..see if that makes a different perhaps resets it. Can also turn of 3g a few times. I had this before and I am not sure what had happened, but i just messed with the 3g toggle and airplane mode then it started working.
Try to flash the new stock rom in the forum. Wipe the cache and dalvik maybe its just that? Did it ever work after you rooted the device?
I haven't tried the airplane mode trick. I will as soon as I get home.
When I flashed the new ROM I did wipe data/cache and dalvik cache.
When I first rooted her phone I flashed a different ROM (Rainy Day). We still noticed she had real slow data connection but it would show the 3G icon. It probably still shows even if its not in 3G. The Rainy Day ROM was too glitchy (I had it also for a day) so I flashed both our phones to the MikG 2.55 (which I had previously on my phone, very stable ROM). That is when I noticed her phone would stay with the 1X icon.
As soon as I try the airplone mode toggle 3G, I will report back to see if it fixed her problem.
Thanks sup3rn0th1ng

i just flashed my ROM yesterday to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.9 and found out my 4g wasnt working anymore..only shows up as scanning so went ahead and flash a new radio baseband version 1.39.00.05.31... the 4G still doesnt work how can i fix that? if i unroot it back to factory setting with everything go back to normal? or my phone cant use 4g anymore.
To fix the 4G scanning problem, flash the latest radio and wimax. This is also dependent on which ROM you are running and whether that ROM works with 4G (WiMax) or not.
I would firstly like to thank everyone here at these Forums ever since my first HTC Touch that I flashed over to MetroPCS several years back these forums have proven of great help... I am once again stumped and need some help.
I have an EVO with Froyo 2.2 , Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 Rom & Radio Baseband 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI 1.77 I rooted and flashed it over to MetroPCS everything works, talk, text even wifi .... The only problem is the mobile network does not turn on it says - Mobile Network "Turning On" and appears grayed out. I have double checked all my settings both in CDMA Workshop and QPST, and haved tried every trick I have seen in every forum.. I already called MetroPCS and made sure its not a issue with my data plan or my account.... Can somebody please help me fix this issue I don't know what else to do... ???
did you ever find a fix for this? because I'm having the same problem now. I haven't made any changes to the phone since the last time it was working, which was earlier today. Now it says 'turning on' under mobile network and it's grayed out. already tried rebooting the phone - didn't help.
Running the latest rom from htc, rooted using unrevoked - i did that a few days ago.
No data/network connection here and the Sprint site is down too. WTF?

ah ok - i didn't check the sprint site. Sounds like there was nothing wrong with my phone then, must have been something with sprints network.
My 3g connection was backup this morning, again without me making any changes on the phone. So i guess it was some temporary glitch with sprint.
Mobile Internet stuck on "Turning on" on my Evo
Even I have same issue after undating my rooted EVO (with unrevoked) stock rom (OTA 4.0) with 2.15.00.09.01 Base BAND to 3.70.651.1 (OTA 7-ROOTED) with 2.15.00.11.19 Base Band. After this the phone was running OK for 3-4 days but then suddenly the Mobile Network "Turning On" issue cropped up . Then I installed EViO 2.0 series latest rom and for 2 days the problem disappeared. However, it again appeared making me flash MikFroYo 4.5 rom. But to no avail. The Mobile Network is not connecting at all. It is just showing "Turning On" when enabled eiher throught settings tab or from power button. But it can only be closed by power button. The details of my software is as below:
Android Version : 2.2
Base Band Version : 2.15.00.11.19
kernel version : 2.6.32.17-gee557fd [email protected] #15
build number : MikFroYo v4.5
Software number : 3.70.651.1
Browser version : webkit 3.1
PRI version : 1.90_003
Prl Version : 00001
Hardware version : 0004
Hboot - 0.97.0000
Please tell me how to make mobile network (internet) operational again as Iam in India with a measly 1x speed and I would like to use it.
Gentlemen kindly help

I have since figured it out it was related to some QPST settings that had red lines in it and even though i clicked in the text box and it appeared to be taking all the settings i was programming it required for me to click some other button the ctrl i believe in order to get rid of the line and be able to program the settings in correctly. I have since gotten my phone to work perfectly. In my experience any issue you have after putting a new ROM is just because it wasn't properly wiped search these forums their is an all in one wipe or manually use the recovery to wipe everything before putting a new ROM on. Also if any pay attention to the recommended baseband, radio and or kernel for each ROM. Also read each ROM details as some have specific purposes like MetroDroid ROM. I am currently using Myn's Warm Z Two Point Two ROM on my EVO on METRO PCS and it runs better & faster than any other ROM I have flashed so far not to mention the interface is sleek and clean.
Well at least we were able to come out in the green and learned a lesson along the way.
Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:

good luck man, hope this helped!
I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
So, here's my situation:
I'm running a CDMA Gnex with Apex v.1.0.1 as my rom. I flashed a new radio, [Radio Hybrid] VZW EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3), in the hopes I could improve the hand off between 3G and 4G... Nope! The phone will no longer, no matter what I do, connect to the 3G network
OK... I figure, no big deal. I'll just flash a different radio set. Next up were the Leaked 4.0.3 Radios. Same thing. NO 3G at all!
Now I'm getting worried. I flash the stock 4.0.2 radios... Still cannot force it to use the CDMA network. I either have 4G data service or none at all...
What am I doing wrong? I've re-booted each radio set a couple times before dumping them for a different set. I've restored the nandroid back up from before I started messing with the radios. No fix there either. I've removed the sim card and reinstalled it (knowing full well it only controls 4G). Nothing doing...
I've seen similar posts about 3G/4G connectivity issues, but mine is strange because it's just the 3G radio that doesn't work. Voice calls and 4G data work fine.
Bigxie's rom has been rock solid, and since all the radios I've used presented the same issue, I'd be hard pressed to say it was one of them. I'm a noob, so I'm thinking user error somewhere along the line. Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
This was a CDMA network issue, not an issue with the Radios or Rom!!!
I magically picked up 3G this morning while at work. Since I was still running the leaked 4.0.3 radios and the Apex Rom, I realized that this was a network problem, not a software problem. I confirmed this with Verizon just now. They brought down the node closest to my place for emergency repair last night. The CDMA radio came back up as soon as it hit a tower that let it authenticate... It was just a coincidence that it occurred right when I flashed my first radio set, and frankly I feel dumb that I didn't see network error as a possibility sooner.
Try going all the way back to stock with stock radios and see if that fixes it?

flash the bootloader before the radio, reboot after flashing the
bootloader then flash radio, reboot, then flash stock.
My buddy's Dinc stopped getting 3G over the weekend. Any ideas ?
I already wiped it. Still not fixed. The 3G goes in and out constantly. Not even 1x. Just nothing.

By wiped do you mean a factory reset? Is it rooted or s-off? What hboot, radio, android version is it on? And have you tried dialing *228 and selecting option 1?
It was rooted with s off stock 7.28 radio and .92 h boot.
Dialed *228 selected 1
No 3G.
Today I put s-on
Downgraded to stock 2.2 RUU
Updated to stock GB via OTA system update.
3G still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

If the phones all stock right now (stock recovery/rom) i would try a factory reset from hboot, if that dosent fix it call verizon, it may be something on their end. They may need to reprovision your phone. If they cant fix it its probably some sort of hardware failure.
