Info:
Rom: Deck 1.3d, before was CM7 256
Kernel: Tiamat Lee
Baseband: 2.15.00.12.19
Problem: Even in CM7 had this problem every now and then and had a temp fix of simply flashing a wimax radio, but would eventually go back out again. But, I can connect to Wimax, for only a few seconds until I try and do anything that consume data and then it starts to scan again, rinse, repeat. I have my Wimax keys, verified with the checker, I know my ROM supports it, yet I can't seem to find a permanent fix. Anytime I have flashed radios I have read that some recommend to flash sense and update PRL and Profile, but I never have. Stupid question, but could this be the culprit? I just came back from Decks ICS alpha 5 and freshly installed Decks 1.3d after a clean wipe.... Still issues.
Any known fix, or am I just an idiot and overlooked something?
hey,
are you doing a full system wipe along with your cache and davik cache before you flashed? Now when your flashing your wimax radio are you using a new one? because you need to be sure its compatible with your rom to. and have you had this issue on any other roms?
Good luck

Okay, I was using BakedSnack and everything worked fine. Switched to Fresh and everything worked fine. I did SOMETHING, though. No idea what. But my wifi isn't working correctly. I can connect to different networks, but there's no internet connection. I can connect fine though 3G/2G. But anytime I use wifi...no internet.
I flashed back to BakedSnack from a nandroid backup and wifi worked. Tried flashing CM6 on top of that and...boom...no more wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas?
and you have done a complete wipe? not just cache?
start with the stock 2.2 odex or deodex rom....
are you using clockwork or amon ra recovery?
if you are restoring everything with titanium bqck up after you flash then stop it....

+1 on the titanium issue. Titanium can create a lot of trouble if used for more than just apps, and some system things, if done very selectively. When 2.2 first dropped, people were flashing to 2.2, then restoring all kinds of stuff from Android 2.1, creating much havoc.

Yeah, I'm wiping cache, data, and davlick cache every time. As soon as I boot into CM6 from a working version of bakedsnack, I try connecting via wifi with no luck. I updated the radios last night on both (I have no idea if that would have helped or not. just a desperation move). Wifi worked no matter what on bakedsnack, before and after. On CM6 it didn't matter what I did.
I'm using clockwork recovery. I haven't touched titanium (I could never really utilize it when I was switching between a Sense ROM and a non-Sense. Never knew what I should omit from my restore process).
Switched to Amon recovery to see if that made a difference. No luck yet. (bump)
Flash a stock rooted rom and test your luck. If it still doesn't work after wiping + cache + dalvik then there is something wrong with your phone.
I'm trying to flash a stock ROM now, but I keep getting an error:
"write_raw_image PACKAGE...." installation aborted. something like that.
Limited research appears to indicate that the stock ROM is too big for my boot partition or somesuch.
I can install CM6 all day long. I can nandroid restore anything.
I don't know if this is relevant or not...trying to research. but my hboot version is 0.76.2000. I'm running all the latest radios/wimax.
You might try looking at your firmware settings in both a rom that wifi works and one where it doesn't.

Don't know how you could have inadvertently changed these but, who knows.
Try this in a terminal emulator
/ $ getprop persist.wimax.fw.version
That value should not change between ROMs.
Alogcat from market will display the status messages generated while you try to get on wifi. Start Alogcat then tap home tap wifi, tap home resume Alogcat select logs... look for red.

Thanks for the tips, willy. I'll try these out later today after work or if things slow down.
I did have some progress, though. I was able to get wifi to work on the Fresh ROM. I had installed a "wiredtetherfix" from the Wired Tether for Evo is working/patched thread. That fixed my wired tether, but evidently broke the wifi. So applying his "wiredtetherrestore" fix got my wifi working again. Unfortunately, a fresh install of CM6 from that piont (with full wipes beforehand) didn't cure wifi for that ROM. That's the one I want most, CM6, so I can go back to a faster ROM that had all the tethering apps as native applications.
On FreshROM the wimax fw version is: 4.6.2.2v26023_
Will update later with CM6 wimax version.
Okay, I flashed CM6 again and tried to pull the wimax fw version. There is no wimax on CM6, though. I think that's the problem, anyway. When I run the command, nothing happens. When I run wimax_mtd, it says "not found."

bump. Anyone have any ideas?
Trying to install Vaelpak 3.0 and I am having 1 hell of a time. I'm thinking it has something to do with my radio wimax pri nv ect.... because earlier in the week I tried flashing the combo and everything went to hell on my phone. I since then had to flash back to the previous radio and then had vp 2.3 running fine again. After that I learned that it was kernel specific problems with older HTC kernels so I flashed netarchy's and then went back to the radio combo and had this problem with my CPU load at 100% and always running at near 1ghz. Then I learned if your rom is not based on the 3.3 that the newest PRL with continue to overload your CPU the entire time. I hadn't gotten this problem really fixed by the time I found VP 3.0 and figured flashing this would just fix my problem with the newest PRI because its based on the 3.3 update.
After a full wipe (data, 2x cache, 2x dalvik) I flashed 3.0 only to get stuck in a white screen boot loop. So I DLed the file from another link moved it manually to my SD and flashed that... same problem. Then I decided I would restore my 2.3 through RA install rom manager and change my recovery over to clockwork to try to install the rom. No go. Then I flashed a previous version of 2.1 used rom manager to put RA back on (I've found this more reliable but at this point who the hell knows). Went into recovery and restored my backup made as of this friday. Still having the problems with the CPU load so I went back to recovery and flashed the older radio combo but noticed this doesn't have NV on it(not sure what NV is either). But all seemed to be working fine for moment until 2.3 started randomly restarting on me. So now my 2.3 isn't working and can't get 3.0 to flash.
Next thing I thought to do was to wipe all again flash 3.0 and then flash netarchy's kernel over the htc #15. BAM!! I get it to run through the boot into the set up menu asking for my gmail account. I enter my account info and wait, wait, wait, then it says cannot get reliable connection to google servers (also I notice that my data instead of a 3g icon says EvDo). Well now this can't be good. I try to turn on my wifi it says that wifi cannot perform search. I enter my network manually cannot find network. I've tried updated profile pri and everything else from settings and always get same error with communications saying call sprint(don't wanna do this will immediately void my warranty I'm thinking). Now the last thing left for me to check is if I can get 2.3 up again and check my wifi ect... through that.
Wipe, Wipe, Wipe, flash older radio combo, flash previous NV that wasn't in combo as far as I could tell, restore 2.3. All seems to be going well until I try my wifi. Cannot search again. WTF?? then instantly black screen to no where. Pull battery try again, get into the settings and then black screen back to Vaelpak boot animation. I am completely lost here I could really use some help. Like I said in the beginning I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the radios combo ect... but can't figure it out on my own.
Well in case this has happened to anyone else and it is likely to happen somewhere down the road from people upgrading to roms based of the 3.7 update. The quickest fix I found was.
1. DL Unrevoked Forever from web page and flash it
2. Find a stock ruu for the 3.7 or do what I did and just DL Sprint Lovers PC36IMG.zip place in root of SD card and boot into hboot. Install the ruu.
3. Go to settings>software updates and update the PRI and the Profile
4. Remove the PC36IMG.zip from root of your SD card
5.(only applicable if you used the stock ruu) take your recovery of choice name it PC36IMG.zip and place in root of SD card. Boot into HBoot and install
then remove that from root as well.
6. Flash the Rom you were wanting to flash. This will take care of all Radio, Wimax, PRI, NV, and other problems between 3.7 based roms, Kernels and Radios.
Hopes this helps someone along the way.
I want to preface this by apologizing if this has been covered, but I was unable to find anything with a search.
Every single 3.70 based ROM results in wakelock issues within 24-48 hours. I have tried everything, including flashing the stock rooted rom and no matter what, my phone stops sleeping after a day or so. I fully wipe, flash the rom, and I don't download a single app until the wakelock kicks in, at which point I grab spare parts and get no useful information.
I am currently alternating between CM7 and CM6 because AOSP roms work fine...they just aren't quite as solid as I would like them to be at this point. GPS bugs (I've tried the fixes), no HDMI (I've heard about the beta apps and I'll try those soon), no 4G (I realize this has been added to the nightlies for CM7, but the GPS issues are a deal breaker for now) and slow file transfers between my PC and my phone when using CM7 also kill the rom for me.
I figured I would simply flash the stock rooted 3.30.651.3 so that I could have a fully functional phone without wakelock issues if the need arose. But whenever I try to flash after a full wipe (including dalvik cache), I get stuck on the white HTC EVO screen. All 3.70 roms and AOSP roms flash fine so there must be something I'm missing...do I have to downgrade my radio or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And once again, I'm sorry for the post if this has been covered.
Yes the radio has to be downgraded first. I'm not sure which radio you need but you should check out one of Viruses rom threads since his roms are mostly 3.30 based.
So I've been running cm7 for a while now with no problems at all with my GPS after the sense GPS fix. Today I updated my radio prl pri combo thing and my GPS only locks for 1 second or so then even the icon dissapears. So I flashed cm7 over itself and its still broke. Anyone know a good combo for the GPS or a fix?
Have you tried the re-doing the "sense GPS fix" you mentioned? You can asking try shutting down your device, pulling the battery, reinserting the battery and then powering up your device to see if that helps.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Yeah I've pulled the battery more then once. Does anyone know if updating radio combo ect... would make me need to do the sense fix again?
Because that's a giant pain in the ass.
Hi, did you ever got your radio to work again? I have the exact same problem now. I tried an old rom (Floyo 1.2) and thought I might as well update the radio. I did a full wipe and everything went fine, but I can never get a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status and toolbox -> reset -> download assist data but to no luck. Then I tried six different radio versions (old and new), the Floyo Euro GPS zip, the Salsa rom and Elelinux' 2.3.4 rom but none of them works. If I try to let GPS status keep running for a minute or so, the phone will eventually do a hard reboot :/

Try and flash back to a sense based rom and reflash the updated radio and then update your prl reboot and update your profile do that twice should clear up your issues.
miui-us I'm having issues with GPS on CM7 as well, but I never got it to work with a sense fix or anything...I'm going to see if I can get it working when I flash a sense rom first. If it works then I'll try what you said.
Same thing happened to me after updating the radios. Looks like it's time for the PITA Sense and back fix.
Trying it now, but it takes about an hour, I will get back to you....
Hey everyone. I haven't been working with custom ROMs for long, so I'm a little lost with what I might be missing here.
Phone:
Sprint HTC EVO 4G
Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.1
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Version: 2.6.37.4-cyanogenmod-01338-g0374804
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1-Supersonic
Build Number: GRI40
Problem:
I recently updated from CyanogenMod 6 to CyanogenMod 7. Since then all heck has been breaking lose on my normally happy Evo. I was extremely pleased with CyanogenMod 6 due to better battery life, faster operation, better features than stock, etc. However, since the update to 7, I've been experiencing the following problems... but I do have to say 7 it's beautiful!
Battery life now sucks... BAD!
* Went from 1 charge a day (or less) to multiple per day and there's less software on it than before.
* Battery history indicates the radio is consuming 48% of battery.
Data has been terrible and now no longer works at all.
* I no longer have even 3G, but only shows white "1x" on status bar.
* Wi-Fi is now the only means I have to consume data.
4G/WiMAX commonly doesn't stay connected either or allow data.
GPS is out to lunch. It skips all over the place and loses signal every few seconds.
Questions:
Do I need to update the radio?
If so, where do I find either the latest or appropriate version for use with CyanogenMod 7?
Are there updates to 7.0.3.1 that will fix battery life & other issues?
Some forums were saying to run PRI, but I haven't had that since my phone was stock. How do I obtain that?
Given my phone's info above, would you recommend I install or update anything else?
Thanks in advance for all the help!

Update all radios. Check my sig for a link.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reprovisioning data). Update PRL. Reboot.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. Let it reprovision, but when it says "Updating PRL" hit cancel.
Wipe everything in recovery, flash ROM of your choice.
Use 3G Supercharger if you want.
You can try those things above to see if they do any good.

Try Deck's as suggested above. He is a great ROM developer and often updates. I personally use SavagedZen kernel when on his ROM. For a flashable GPS fix, see my sig.

For battery try out a different kernel like tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.0.6, SZ 2.2.1 those seem to be the best ones you can try the sbc versions you'll get a little more life out of them you can find them on kernel manager from the market.
You can check this out for your radios.

@Shadow,
In order to answer you actual questions:
YES! Update your radios from Calkulins thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Grab the latest update, youll be happy. This will update PRI as well.
There is a RC1 of CM 7.1, which is pretty good. Based on 2.3.4 which is just improved GB. Though it is not considered a stable release yet, if that is what you are looking for.
Considering this gets your signal working proper you should notice imedeate results for battery life. I would recommend the Battery Calibration app from market, follow instructions.
The above GPS link is good, exactly what you should look into. I recommend the Qualcom 1.1 works great every time. However, after flashing new radios check your GPS again to see how it is working. Once that is solved, get GPS status from market and check out all the features it has. It can clear GPS cache, download "assistance data" and give you a precise time it takes to lock on to better diagnose GPS issues.
Lastly, you may want to consider doing a clean install, doing a FULL wipe using a wipe all .zip and clear user data, cache and dalvik. Not sure if you did this the first time, but it helps to avoid any errors from leftovers from your previous ROM.
Since you are going to update your radios, I would recommend updating it thru HBOOT just update with sprint lover's rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
Just load up the PC136IMG and let it update and then install the rom of your choice afterwards or nand restore a back up of your desired rom.
Personally either way you update should be fine, but HBOOT seems a bit safer.
Wow, you guys are amazing!
shawayne21, thanks I appreciate the recommendation. However, I'm not currently in the market for another ROM. I just want to get what appear to be mostly radio issues resolved. I have tried several other ROMs when I rooted my EVO and immediately fell in love with CyanogenMod. I will keep this in mind for possible future ROM explorations though. Thanks again!
TropicalBrit, thanks a lot for that repost. There is so much content on this site that it's difficult for a noobie like myself to pick out what the most appropriate information is for a particular situation. However, as time goes on and I get more experience I assume that will change.
I will perform the items TropicalBrit reposted and let everyone know how it goes! Thank you immensely to everyone who took the time to help me out! Cheers!
Sounds like you might need to perform a complete and thorough system wipe, preferably using one of the formatting zips.
Then reflash your rom, flash a better kernel, and download your apps fresh from the market.
I've had great success with Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and Savaged Zen 2.2.1 bfs sbc, running the same baseband as you on hardware 003.
