I have the ADR6275 rooted running 2.1. I want to switch roms but I can't get a full back up. I have tried NAND, Titanium and MyBackup Root. All of them will start backing up, but will hang at a different spot until I pull the battery. I am also worried about losing MMS and Data on Alaska Communications network. Any ideas? Thanks.
I was able to finally back up all of the files individually using Titanium, I had to stop every once and awhile and pull the battery and restart. Would this cause a problem with restore? Am I safe to try a rom yet? I don't want to lose data connection. I'm uploading the files to Dropbox now.
Verify back up just showed that all of the backups had errors.
Ok, now I have figured out that whoever had the phone previously, it was used but not stolen that we could find, had flashed an htc merge rom on to it. The phone model is ADR 6275 but Market says it's an ADR6325. The hboot is 0.98.0000 but it should be 1.06.0000.

Background:
I rooted my phone back in August using the method described in this video (http://androidandme.com/2010/07/phones/intro-to-rooting-your-sprint-htc-evo-4g-video/) I've flashed numerous ROMs to my phone without much issue. However I recently flashed the latest Fresh ROM and have no data connection. I know its not the ROM itself because I nandroid restored back to 3 different ROMs and still cannot connect.
I upgraded and downgraded my PRI and Radio to various versions but still no luck. So next I called Sprint and asked them to reactivate my phone thinking that it would reset the connection and fix my issue. They asked me to type in ##(somenumbers)## which rebooted my phone and brought me to the hands-free activation screen. Not only did this not work, but I fully lost all connectivity. Previously I had a 3G logo that wasn't lit up, but my phone was able to download "some" data at very slow speeds. Now no 3G logo and no connection.. (idk why I called sprint?!?)
I figure loosing root and installing the latest OTA should fix my problem. So I initially tried the method described in the forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743192), and got stuck at a black screen with an HTC logo. My HBOOT number changed to 0.93.0000 but im still rooted.
Next I downloaded the latest ota through my phone via wifi, but the install process fails about half way through. So now I'm thinking that if I downloaded the latest unrooted ota to my PC and flashed to the ROM I could lose root that way.
Solution?:
What are your thoughts? Do you think going back to stock unrooted android will fix my issue?
I truly appreciate ANY help you can give me. I'm completely "lost" without a working phone!
THANKS!!!

Do this first, update your PRL and Profile, always do this when you update the radio.
Then if that does not work, proceed with the steps below.
Do the nandroid restore, I would hope you are using ARMON RA b/c it backs up your WIMAX(wimax.img). Get you phone working again then focus on the the
radio(s).
I've looked around on the forums and there doesn't seem to be much information on this. I apologize if there is and i just simply missed it.
My wimax_mtd output looks fine; the mac matches my mac on the back of the phone
a grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0 outputs the RSA certificate begin and end
however, when i turn 4g on, it says scanning...Connecting to Sprint.. then goes back to Scanning...
every once in a while, it will briefly display disconnected between scanning and connecting to sprint. I'm in san francisco and i know 4g isn't official, but my old phone was always able to connect.
Interestingly enough, I was able to get this phone to connect the day before. The steps i took are a little long; I'll try to condense it as i don't know what may or may not be relevant to getting the 4g working briefly yesterday; i haven't been able to get it working since.
1) new evo arrived in the mail; rooted with unrevoked using RA and made nandroid backup
2) flashed fresh
3) flashed updated radios, installed eng bootloader
4) eng bootloader caused a boot loop so i flashed fresh again w/o data wipe which fixed the problem
5) it was around this time that i noticed 4g wasnt working so i started working on fixing it
6) made a nandroid backup of the fresh rom because i had it just the way i liked it and didn't want to recustomize the phone all over again
7) performed nandroid restore of the original stock nandroid image i took immediately after rooting to see if 4g would work with that, however it put me in a boot loop
8) performed nandroid restore most recent fresh image, that got me out of the boot loop and for some reason 4g was magically working. oh yeah, just a note.. i don't actually live in a 4g area; i'm about 2 blocks away from where i can get coverage.
9) the next day i noticed that 4g wasn't working again. i had done nothing except reboot the phone and i could have possibly made a nandroid backup, but otherwise i didn't do a restore or touch anything else. i restored the stock image and then restored a recent nandroid like i did the other day, but this time, it didn't restore 4g.
is there any information out there about the 4g scanning loop and what could cause it? could it just be the network? maybe sprint/clear had 4g up to test and now they're restricting it only to internal testers or something? is there anyone else in sf downtown area who was able to get a 4g signal either yesterday or today?
not sure, I have the same issue though. I have an evo with fresh and the radio updates... same thing scanning, then connecting to sprint, then disconnected...
I notices your posted a while ago. This is still occurring with mine. running fresh evo 3.5.0.1
I recently flashed a new ROM which required use of an APN backup/restore app to get a working APN (redemptive? I can't remember which, flashed a few lately). Anyway, before changing it, I did an APN backup, deleted my APN, and restored using the included xml file.
I decided to go back to virtuous via a nandroid backup and thought it would be best to restore my APN to the way it was when I first flashed the new ROM before doing so.
Everything still works, but lately when I'm not on wifi and I browse the web, facebook, etc. I'm almost always on 1X instead of 3G and it seems slower.
I could just be crazy, but I don't really remember seeing 1X active very often before. I also had a hell of a time getting navigation to download directions the other day, even with a fair amount of signal (it kept saying "data connection lost" even though the map itself was updating).
Could this have anything to with messing with the APN from a different ROM, even though I restored using nandroid? If so, is there a way to restore a stock APN? I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.
Sent from my Droid Incredible
I'm really struggling to find the source of this problem if it isn't the APN. I have tried updating my PRL via *228 using both the .09.01 radio and the .07.28 radio. I have also tried several different kernels thinking that might somehow affect which data speeds are used.
I've read of a lot of people fixing this problem by either rebooting or toggling airplane mode on and off. Neither of these workarounds has given me any success.
However, I still am only getting 1X speeds everywhere I go when I normally have excellent 3G coverage everywhere. In addition, most of the time when 1X data finishes transferring, my 3G icon appears for a good 10 seconds, but with no sending/receiving animation.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong and/or how to fix it?
Sent from my Droid Incredible
This was happening to me too. A Verizon rep solved it!
You need to factory reset your phone. It's not as scary as it sounds actually.
Nandroid just in case.
For Sense:
Settings --> SD & phone storage --> Factory data reset --> whichever wipes the most.
For AOSP:
Settings --> Privacy --> something...
And after the reboot, "activate" your phone. (There will be a popup)
That fixed it! Well, sort of. I ended up being put in a boot loop when I tried a factory reset, both from the menu and from within hboot. I'm not sure if it was my ROM, hboot version, being rooted, or what, since I've never had to do that for anything before.
I restored my nandroid but my phone now had no idea who my carrier was and had me in roaming mode. I was unable to get any data to transfer whatsoever and wasn't able to update anything via *228, I was pretty worried at this point!
I ended up going back to S-On, unrooting and reverting completely back to a stock image, boot, radio, etc. After re-rooting, redoing S-Off, updating the radio and restoring my nandroid backup, 3G is fully functional again!
A big pain to deal with compared to a basic factory reset I'd imagine, but worth it I guess. Thanks for the info.
Sent from my Droid Incredible
You're welcome! Yeah, I'm not sure why there are so many hoops to jump through.
Seems like the factory data reset clears something that ROMs don't.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
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 my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Did he try updating his profile & prl
Sent from my criffvo
Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

i know this post is somewhat old. but Making a back up wont take hardly and extra time! always always make one unless you have 100% reliable roms already backed up.
