Hi guys I'm new to the EVO and trying to help my friend out with his. Some background is it was on stock latest OTA .3. I unlocked bootloader through HTC's tool then downgraded back to 2.2 and used unrevoked forever to regain root/s-off. I then upgraded back to latest OTA rooted/tweaked from Team Notcurnals rom. The radio basically does not work, no 3g at all. In the 2.2 rom it worked fine. So I tried updating to latest radio/hboot/nv/pri etc. Through flashable zip Found on this forum as well. They all flashed fine and updated the radio, but still nothing works. It has the signal bar like its got a signal but no data whatsoever. Lastly I tried flashing Tiamat's kernel, but it would not even boot up with it (Stuck at white HTC screen).
Any help is appreciated, I come from the Incredible so never ran into these problems before.
First off tiamat is an aosp kernel not sense. Assuming you made a backup before you flashed the TN rom,I would suggest going back to that backup or a different rom and see if the dataworks. Are you wiping everything except SD card a couple times for safe measure? I would also suggest using amon ra for recovery.

Thanks for your reply, the data does work in the 2.2 rom I had on it before flashing the TN rom. I did not make a backup of it as I had just used the RUU to get it. so no Root or anything at that point. I can easily get back to it if need be. There is no data or anything that needs to be saved on this phone at the moment.
Is there a flashable zip for amon ra recovery? Right now I have CWM
EDIT: Found Amon RA, am flashing it now.

This is what I use and it has worked flawlessly for me. I use the 3.0.7
After installing new recovery
Just wipe everything twice except SD card and try reflashing your TN rom. If the data is still borked try a different rom or try downloading it again as it might've been a bad download.

Hmmm, still no data, but with another Rom i was able to very briefly connect to 4g, tried to open internet to see if data was actually working and it gave me a message "Oops - we experienced a system problem during your tas, please call at 1-800-927-2199 (business use) or 1-888-211-4727 (personal use).
Do I need to call them, or any other ideas?
Are you able to send mms?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Nope, no mms.
Is it possible having an old or wrong radio could do this?
Wat about the "Sprint Lovers" Rom it says it has a combo package, but its not up to date with latest OTA and also the download links are down on it too. Would that even help though is the question
Are you able to make calls? Did you flash myns warm 2.2? And was it borked on that?

I did not try Myns warm 2.2 yet, but I've tried about 4 other roms so far. I did update the Radio and such, but no profile or PRL (Thats the one within the phone under settings > system updates right?) When I try those it fails every time. It almost seems like a problem with the account with sprint or something at this point, I verified radio is up to date. I'm going to have my friend contact sprint about his account just make sure its still in good working order,
Phone calls dont work anymore either, it says "your account cant be validated" ... Maybe all this is just cause of his account.... I'll look into it now and post an update as soon as i find out.
if it says account cannot be validated, that means theres an issue with the account. either the phone is not on the account or service has been suspended.
Yup account issue, glad I asked if you could make calls lol

OK so had him call Sprint and turns out it was on there end... he got it taken care of and now service is restored to the phone... works on all roms now. That was bad timing I guess...
I really want to say thank you so much for your help. It would have taken me much longer to find this out otherwise.

Some reason I tried flashing another rom but it won"t let me and keeps going back to the original rom. I had frankenstein and wanted to check out viper. I dled the viper rom and dropped it into my sd and wiped and did the usual through cwm but everytime i boot back up iot goes to frankenstein.. Any ideas? I even deleted the frank rom just to make sure but that shouldnt make a difference should it?
What version of clockwork? You will need version 3.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yeah that"s the one I got. It says Viper opened and completed but after reboot it reverts back to franken
oh crap you know what. I have v2.5.1. That's the one I got with that 1 click root process. Is there an updated clockwork for the epic?
same thing too
That happend to me to but from mystic mountain to frankenstein. What i ended up doing was odening to stock rerooting and then flashing. You don't even have to wipe because odining it technically wiped it lol.
seems like a lot of work just to change roms. What doesnt make sense is that randyshear from youtube that does a lot of the rom reviews and installs just changes them one after another with his epic. Is there a 3.0 cwm for epic?
There is a new clockwork version for the epic. I am on my phone so don't have the link but it is a post in the development section.

Ok I have 2 Evo's being shipped out on Saturday. When they arrive I will be flashing them both to MetroPCS. I just need a little guideance on getting the correct rom.
I believe this is the rom im looking for here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
IF I understand correctly, this rom is 2.3 Gingerbread based and has Cyanogenmod 7. But there is also a sense version I believe, and I HATE HTC sense ui.
What exact steps do I need to take to ensure that I Flash My EVO with a Gingerbread CM7 based Rom that will work perfectly with MetroPCS?
Everyone makes it sound so easy but I must be missing something.....Please help.
Have you rooted? It is actually very easy to flash roms. I don't believe that cynogen has sence. Not a fan of sence either I prefer asop. But once your rooted simply put the zip of the rom on your sdcard. Go to recovery wipe data, dalvic-cache and cache then flash zip from sdcard reboot and enjoy
Edit: don't know about metro.

Yes that thread seems to be roms for metro.. Cynogen is not sence. so you should be good to go. When flashing roms just make sure you wipe. Not the sdcard though. Feel free to pm if needed. And hit the thanks if I helped.

Yea I had this same issue man, at first I thought it was my crappy sprint service in san diego but then I noticed I would get my txt messeges only through google voice and my 3g was fine.
So what u need to do to fix it is do nandroid back.p
flash a sense rom(i used my first nandroid ,faster to setup)
Then just update prl, profile, all those options, dont remember which ones they are but I know its all the ones where you find the prl option.
After that just flash back to your cm and it should work.
Remeber NOT to accept any OTA update when u flash to sense rom.
First step, call Sprint and see if there is an outage in your area. If not, flash back to a stock rom. If that still doesnt help, call sprint back and have them re-activate your phone, and update the profile.

From a sense rom, make sure the app works, test it, ect. Backup the app and data, flash to cm7, restore only the app and data.

It worked for me
I have been trying to hook a buddy of mine up with a new rom for his Evo, basically make it exactly like mine with the newest Fresh Rom. I rooted his phone with Revolutionary and it all went just fine, the phone is now rooted with Superuser successfully installed. I put the Fresh zip on his SD card, wiped everything as you are supposed to, and then flashed the zip. It flashes fine and boots up, loads to the lockscreen and setup, but then reboots and does the whole process again, basically a bootloop. I have tried various roms and kernels, wiped over and over again, redownloaded the file, etc., but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?! I never had this issue installing this rom on my phone. Any help would be appreciated!
try using a different recovery
Something other than RA? What do you suggest? CWM is crap isn't it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Give newer versions on CWM its work just fine for me. I never had a problem.
Sloth
I am skeptical that a different recovery will fix the problem, but I will give it a try and report back. Is there anything else anyone can come up with?
I had a really weird issue where I couldn't flash any of the Gingerbread roms a while back, and had flashed goodness knows how many since I bought my evo on launch day and rooted it day one when it was available.
Trying different recovery versions might help, but if it doesn't, I'd suggest to unroot it and start all over. Find a post in the dev section on unrooting, go back to the stock sprint rom, and start over.
I did that, and was then able to flash all gingerbread roms and get them to not bootloop.
I'm not the only one that was having the problem, but NO devs could/would help figure it out. Not even flipz. Give it a shot.
Thanks for the info, I will try to Recovery thing first and then do a full wipe out and start over from a stock rom. The weird thing about it is that this is the first time this phone has been rooted and the first attempt at flashing roms.
Just curious, how many times does it reboot?? Over and over and over, or are you pulling the battery after the first or send time?
Over and over
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try recovery and fast boot from there.

I changed recoveries to clock work, and it did not make a difference. I continued to get the same boot loop as before with RA. I just wiped out the entire system, and went into the boot loader to unroot back to stock. I will report back my results once I am done

Changing up the recovery did nothing to fix my problem. I unrooted his phone, regained s-on, flashed a stock rom and am starting over. I will report back my results.
Well damnit anyway, starting all over from scratch did nothing as well. Still get the same damn bootloop. WTF!?!? Anyone else have any other ideas?
I've read every post and I can't think of anything that would help. You think it's a software issue, like inside the phone itself might be bad?

Have you tried using / flashing any of the zips that are prepackaged " wipes " ?

I never had any problems while using RA but had numerous failed flashes with Clockwork.
TWRP has been stellar so far ... no failed flashes yet.
Hello,
I am ready to pull my hair out! I installed the Cyanogenmod yesterday and my cell reception is terrible. I usually get full bars of 4g coverage in my driveway but nothing since install. I have an AirRave signal booster in the house and I get no data connectivity without wifi and 2 bars when I am standing right next to the signal booster. Different areas of town where I used to be able to count on full 3g coverage - 2 bars and no data. I don't know what to do. I am about to wipe and start over again. Any one, please help...
I have a Sprint GS3 SPH-L710
Did you dirty flash? I never had any problems with CM10.2 connectivity. You might have a bad download or something didn't get flashed correctly. I would do a clean install, ( wipe dalvik, cache, data) and re-download, flash the ROM and gapps .

Sound like an APN issue If your only having problems with your data. I've heard of ppl having to go and flash a TW ROM to update their APNs and get it working correctly again.

The above link is from the Note 2 forum (my phone). I was doing some scouting on the S3 (wife's phone) and saw this thread and thought of the one I linked.
I was having major data problems on cm10.2 even after I would go back to a touchwiz rom, update profile prl then do a "clean flash" of cm.
Problem is the way that touchwiz and cm handle the file system.
If you have a data problem in cm, flash a touchwiz ROM, update profile and prl, then go to your file explorer and delete the folder "sdcard/0/android/data/" (the only folder you need to delete is data - since I have everything on my external sdcard, I deleted the whole 0 folder.) Then do a real clean flash of cm and you should be just fine.
Obviously, if you're concerned about losing any data, back it all up before you do anything.

Thank you for the link. I am a little confused, being the newb that I am, do I have to flash a touch wiz rom to grab the APN? and then go back to CM? It seems like a lot of work...I know, nothing good comes easy...although I was hoping for a fix within CM.
Just another question, what's the harm in staying in CM and 3g only besides not being able to access LTE for the moment?
One thing I do know is any aosp ROM will have this problem. Something to do with ril or to that nature. I hunted a lot of threads on various sprint phones having the same problem.
I just stuck with tw cause the data speeds are so much better, in the same spot on aosp I get about 1.3mbs and tw about 5.5mbs. I hate tw to, can't stand it but it works
