[Q] Help with PRLs - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes, I searched the threads and couldn't find what I needed so I'm either blind or it's not there. I'm okay with whichever.
I have read and (thought I) followed instructions on updating my PRL but it doesn't seem to be working.
I downloaded Bio-Sense 2.1, updated PRL (checked, updated to 86) then reflashed Deck GB 1.3. Still 81.
Can someone help me?

104 views but no thoughts?

For anyone that might need an answer to this, I flashed a different rom, updated prl and profile and it worked fine. So it looks like Bio-Sense was the problem.

I'm not on the rom, but when updating the prl/pri you need to be on a sprint sense rom; so nothing 3.5 ect.

[q] gps not working?

I have a ATT TP2/Stock Radio and have been flashing ROMs for a long time... I recently flashed to the latest ENERGY rom and after a day or so the weather for "My location" quit updating?
I figured it was a bug so I flashed to another one of his ROMs. (I always have used his ROMs from my 1st flash) The phone will not find a GPS signal to update my location. I went back to a tried and true oldler version of Energy, which worked in the past and still no "My location" weather?
Google maps cannot locate any satilites either?
I flashed back to 1st ATT stock ROM loaded google map, searched my location and it worked... So they phone is still working properly.
Flashed back to ENERGY ROM and back again to no "My location" weather or google map GPS?
I have tried everything I can think of please help...
Perhaps you have already done it, but have you performed a task 29? If not try that, then flash your rom.
Both the My Location and GPS issues are discussed (with possible solutions) in the Energy ROM FAQs, Post 6 (of the Energy ROM thread) Section 3 "Solutions to Issues":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4579513&postcount=6
"My Location" is derived from cell tower information, not GPS. Issues with My Location may be a function of the cell tower at your local area, either low signal strength, or just not passing the proper info to your phone. If you travel to a location a few miles away (or farther) do you still get no location?
I have the ATT Tilt2, same as you, and have flashed Energy ROM many times (including most recently Oct. 8), and have never had an issue with either My Location or GPS. There are some ATT-specific solutions you can try, listed in the FAQ. Also, updating to the newer radio (one shown in my signature) may help.
Will do...
I do perform Task 29- Thanks for the reply
I will read more about the it from the Energy thread. Thanks for the reply...
That is the ROM I started having issues with.
OCT.8 Cookie Rom- Flashed and just like normal everything was fine. Drove out on a job for work and everything was good, later got back to my shop in and looked at the phone and it was stuck on the other city,kinda like it hadnt updated since. Tried to update and it just would time out? So I Hard reset the phone and it never loaded the My Location... Full signal indoors and out.
One of the guys I work with has a TP2 as well and he asked me if google was working. I tried to locate me on the map and it says "Your location is temporary not avial." When I try to update the weather from the tab it says "No updates are avail."
I dont know? Im downloading the new ATT ROM now and will, see what it does.
I was told that it will update my radio.
Ive never flashed my radio, and dont know much about it or what exactly it does to upgrade it. I am going to try to read more tonight when I get off work.
Thanks, If your have any inputs/questions I will get back ASAP...
Dont know?
Well the new ATT ROM is on the phone working fine...? As soon as it booted the weather on the Sense popped up with my city... I cant figure out why other roms arent working.
Im going to flash again to Energy soon... Maybe tonight or tomarrow; Battery is dead and have to let it charge. Besides Ive flashed some many times im tired of messing with it.
If anyone has any ideas on what my issue may be please help.
Thanks-

The stock ROM works fine because it does all the work for you. It preforms a task29 as part of the process. If you don't know what that is, it's a tool that erases and formats the internal memory of the device. It also flashes the radio and the ROM in the same program. Basically, all of the things you needed to do on a custom ROM, it does for you on the stock ROM.
BEFORE putting another ROM on your device, preform a task29 (search for it in the Rhodium ROM dev section), then flash the ROM. After that, read the FAQ in post #6 of the Energy thread. If that doesn't answer your question, then ask about it in that thread.
BEFORE posting a question in the Energy thread, be sure to read the FAQ. There is a correct way to ask for help there.
IDK, This is wierd
I do know about task29 and perform it before every flash.
So Stock ROM V.2 was working on "My Location" and Google Map... So I was looking around for .Cabs to clean the Stock ROM up and noticed that ENERGY had posted some new ROMS and I downloaded one. I Task29'd and flashed to the new Energy ROM, No fix on Google and weather "My Location" still unable to update or even find my location...?
Task29'd and went back to Stock ROM V.2 and now I'm having the same issue with the stocker?
Does anyone know what could possibly causing this issue? I don't ever get into the Registry or anything. I just flash and go adding the basic .Cabs
I'm at a loss... I would really hate to replace the phone due to this. Everything else works fine it just seems to be a GPS issue...
Any help would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks in advance-- I hope

This to me would seem to indicate that it might be an issue with the cell towers and not your phone, if it works in some locations and not others. Its a pretty common issue, that's why its on the FAQs. For months, my phone would not retrieve the location information from the cell tower near my office, despite 4 bars of reception. But it works fine almost anywhere else. Next time you are driving to other locations, experiment and see if it works better in other towns.
The time out message for weather just means it can't get the weather info over the data connection, it doesn't refer to My Location. The HTC weather server has issues from time to time, so this may have nothing to do with your phone.

If you are running Energy ROM, then the solution to your My Location problem is listed in post #6 of that thread. The easiest solution is to simply disable 3G. My Location is determined from the Cell Towers, not the device. If this solution doesn't work for you, then that narrows the problem down to something you've installed on the device. Try the solutions listed first. If that doesn't work, install a program like Sprite Backup to create an image of your device so you don't loose anything. After backing up, flash the stock ROM and see if, without installing or changing anything, you have the same problem. If it's working like this, then install things one-by-one until you find the culprit.

Flashing the radio is super easy. If you've already flashed ROM, flashing the radio is basically the same process, except it only takes a several seconds. It updates the software on your phone that allows it to connect with the cell network. It resides on a separate part of the memory than the OS, so it usually is not affected by ROM flashes (and vice versa, flashing the radio does not affect the ROM). The newer official ATT ROM is an exception, where they packed the radio in with the ROM. So now your radio is updated to the newest ATT radio. Flashing custom Rhodium GSM ROMs from XDA won't affect the radio, unless specifically indicated otherwise (and I haven't seen any custom ROMs that do that).

There are a couple of custom ROMs that flash radio as well. I don't recall which, but be sure and look before flashing!

Thanks, good to know. Of course, we always read the ROM instructions thoroughly before flashing!
Narrowed Down...
Thanks to all that have helped so far...
Ok after reading the last few post I have somewhat narrowed down the issue.
Okay, Yesterday I flashed the New ATT ROM so I have the upgraded radio-
Discouraged after I lost the "My Location" with the stock ROM and its differences between Energy(I guess I got spoiled by it) I flashed back to a later version of Energy.
CajunFlavoredbob- Thanks for recommeneding me to try disabling 3G and see if it works. Well it did, I dropped to the Edge network full signal and it picked up pretty quick both on "My Location" Weather and Google... Switched back to 3G and issue came back.
So I read post#6 from the Energy forum and one user says for him he used
"FF ATT Nokia aGPS Settings" I am using something I think is similar to that it is "FF Google aGPS Settings Generic" but I guess its not work aswell as it should or at all? So I am going to try to find this other .Cab and install it and see if this works.
Somewhat narrowed down, with the issue but feel like I am getting somewhere
Thanks to all for help so far! I will keep you guys updated...
No luck...
Okay well I got 3 .Cabs from I believe Fone Fanatic and another one from this guy I work with and no luck?
Any other ideas on what I can do?

I assume you are flashing 3.70 Roms.. Don't flash the combo pack. I would suggest flashing the pcimg via found in the sprint the 3.70 sprint lovers rom. (flash via bootloader NOT recovery) This will wipe your phone. However you will be on a nice rom (imo).
Alternatively flash Fresh 3.5, then download the pri, nv, radios, from fresh updater. Make sure you wipe everything before hand. Again IMO fresh is a nice rom.
Or flash radio, wimax, pri, nv, idividually with reboots in between.
All above methods have worked for me.
BTW this is in the wrong forum should be in Q&A so prepare to get flamed, I probably will too.
Running MynRls4 and the latest release of Vaelpak. The Vaelpak seems to run the best only slightly sluggish and the occasional random reboot. Myn however is slow as all get out and crashes all the time. Nothing else has been done other than rooting and flashing a custom Rom and the radios.
Just came back to say thanks you really saved my Bacon. Flashed the Sprint lovers Rom and all is well again. I'm still relatively new to all this so thank you again I really appreciate it.
Ha glad I was able to finally help someone. Now flash this http://www.ciamosbase.com/up/Riptide9_V12_3_70_Only_signed.zip and make it pretty (Thank Rip for that)
The newest radio isn't compatible with older kernels. Flash the previous radio back and you'll be golden

[Q] Updating Profile on GB ROM

I am on OMJ GB Rom and I have seen this with other GB ROMS... I don't see the update profile and PRL icon... any suggestions on how to get to this or is there any APK around to add this? I searched in the forum and could not find it. Thanks
You need to flash a sense rom, update there, then flash back.
Wierd I assumed I was on a sense rom although. Even the codes work it is just that the "settings" are different. Thanks anyways
Never a problem. I always keep a backup of myn's warm 2.2, just to update my PRL; I primarily run CM7.

Couple of issues with Wifi/Radio updates

So I recently installed MIUI, and as soon as I did my Wifi radio stopped working. Every time I try to switch it, it turns back off and says "error."
I figured this was a problem with my radio (26.02.01.15_M2) when I found another irksome problem. When I go to flash PC10IMG.zip the bootloader gets to "Checking PC10IMG.zip) and then quits and refuses to attempt the update.
Any ideas?
I apologize if this question has been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar in the short search I did.
Thanks in advance!
Could be a bad download? Which Radio are you trying to flash?
Download the radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Dont know what ROM you are running but Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 seems to be a good one,download the attached file for wiping the EFS(Important when flashing radios)
The link has further instructions and information,hope that helps
Hey, thanks for your response! I actually tried three different Radios from that thread (the first three), and none of them worked. I ran an efs wipe yesterday because I was having GPS problems, and these problems persisted after that...
FWIW, when I flash other kernels/ROMs, things work fine (CM7, PyroMod, Stock) but on MIUI these problems crop up.

Do you mean you can update the radio with other ROMs or do you mean that the wifi problem is only on MIUI?If your problem is only with MIUI cant help as I dont use that ROM but still doesnt explain your problem with flashing a radio as the bootloader is independent of the ROM
I think the wifi radio and the cellular radio are different and when you flash the radio firmware, it only updates the cellular radio firmware. Someone more knowledgable than me will probably correct me. It's probably something screwy with the MIUI roms which is effecting you. If you want to use MIUI then try one of the other MIUI roms that are out there and also notify the developer of the MIUI rom your using about your issue.
I hate the recent radios for G2 latest one from Bell sucks. Signal drops every few seconds, data connection is just OK. Very disappointed. I did the efs wipe and auto ril matcher V6 and all this other bs and I hate it.

[Q] EPST Active Profile Keeps Changing

I've recently "flashed" my Incredible to Virgin Mobile with data, sms, and calls working perfectly. I noticed something really weird happening every time I flash a new gingerbread Sense ROM; my active MIP profile keeps reverting from 1 to 0. This means that every time I want to use data I have to go into EPST and change it back to 1 in every single reboot. Does anyone know why this is happening? Also, does anyone know of a working EPST for gingerbread ROMS for the Incredible?
I have the exact same problem. Every reboot changes Profile to 0. I am thinking it might be in the radio somewhere but hope its in the rom.
Edit:
I just flashed Evo radio 05.02 on my Dinc and its the same thing, so I guess it elsewhere, maybe rom, bootloader, hboot???
Edit2:
Great news! Its in the rom somewhere. I flashed CM7.1 Nightlies and the Profile sticks to 1 Before that I was using Stock+ rom and it would revert to 0. So somethings runs on boot that changes Active Profile to 0. I found references in EPST.apk, libhtc_ril.so, perhaps its a clue.
Edit3:
I've ripped out epst.apk from stock+, reflashed, but Profile still changed to 0
Guys, I have seen several tutorials on flashing to VM, but none fully confirm that everything works. Can you point me to where you got the directions on how to do it?
Thanks!!!

Well, there isn't a definite guide, and you need a donor phone to do it. It actually "cloning" more than flashing. If you need help just PM me.
Also, about the profile, this stopped happening when I flashed McTwist ROM. The problem is probably in the Stock+ and Gingersense ROMS.

I've found out the same thing. Every ported rom I tried does not revert Active Profile to 0. I do hope to find out what exactly in Stock roms that mess with the profile but I am really new when it comes to building roms.
I'm having the same problem with my profiles being switched. Did anyone come up with an idea on where it's being changed?
