Previous ower tried to ESN swap for sero plan and loaded the full list of NV Items from his Touch Pro which caused the radio to never receive a signal.
I've managed to convert the ESN back to the original but still can't get the a signal.
I've run the Ruu back to Stock and still nothing. Any clues?
I've had this issue on my Nexus S 4G and it's not exactly easy to fix. From my experience I was able to fix it but I lost signal quality, had to fight to send texts and make calls.
Do you know your SPC/MSL?

Yes, i do have the SPC/MSL information.
Do you have the original NV items, and the program DFS?

I never have more than one bar of service on my evo, at best two bars. My reception is -84 dBm. I live in Houston so the area is not the problem. Everything else is working great. Any advice on fixing? Though I would try here before calling sprint.

Did you update the radio recently?
Yeah I updated my radios and everything else from here.

If that's when it started you should revert back to a previous version.
Its also true that after you update a radio you should update your prl and data profile
No this has been going on for a while now, I was hoping the radios would help and they did for 3g speed. Just my service blows. What is considered a good dBm?

Rooting won't do anything related to that...
CM7 tends to be more accurate on displaying your real reception.
You may just be at the edge of a tower.
In my settings, (Mobile network state: disconnected). Could that be it?

you wanna talk about bad service!!
I just pray to God none of you are from west Michigan... our network has been over its capacity since December 22, 2010.. I know this cause I work at a service and repair store, makes me want to hurt a child.
texts come in hours/days late and if they do come in.. it comes in 5+ times... calls take 45-50 seconds to connect, voicemails come in DAYS later, you will have a missed call and your phone never rang.. internet is almost impossible. makes me hate my job!!!
Has anyone tracked down a good radio fix when wimax doesnt stay connected? I know they have radio updates but does anyone have one in particular they would recommend?

No. Unless you understand the risks do not flash a new radio ("modem" in Samsung land), there is currently no way to go back to stock (EG30).

There was a thread here on tweaking that. You have to dial a number on your phone and edit something.

Tweaking the radio
I know there was a fix to tweak the radio by dialing certain numbers, but i'm curious if anyone has done it and saw a big improvement in their 4g signal.
Considering sprint will probably not expand wimax anymore, i'm screwed with this weak signal.

Both posts above are right. It is in here. I will try and post a link if I can find it. I did the same tweaks on my OG Epic and they work well for me. There are certain setups depending if you are always in a good signal area or if you want it to connect faster,etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Essentially you are looking to lower the threshold for signal strength to connect and raise the timers for disconnect. It's not going to make your signal any better. It's only going to make it more usable--maybe. It could also keep you "connected" and not transmit or receive anything. Not too sure how that would be useful.
Well, i know there are things you can type for sure, but i've never heard from someone that has tested it and said it improved their 4g experience.
Was trying to find a signal amplifier because i'm in a weak 4g spot, but i'm not spending 600 bucks for something i should be getting anyway with my "premium data" 10 dollar addition to my bill from sprint.
Pisses me off that they expect their customers to be happy they are switching to LTE. Me and my expensive wimax phone are so happy sprint is changing their cell tech to LTE..

They are useful if you are in a good or fair 4g area. I live in a full bar 4g area and shortened the connect time and lowered the minimum signal strength a bit. I used same settings that I had on my OG Epic. If you don't get it now it most likely wont do anything or MAY get you 1 bar if you are in a fringe area

If you want 4g on this phone you need to subscribe to a wimax service and a change the wimax realm and wimax Mac address to match that of the modem you have activated on that wimax service.
Here is some more details:

All I did was get a 4g mac address from a friends Epic Touch on Sprint and kept the realm to sprintpcs.com since it is a sprint mac address and I was good to go.
Could I use my Mac address from my clear 4g modem I have at my house? I never connect to the wifi so maybe?

Yes you can but as long as you have active service. But both devices can't be connected to the same tower at the same time.

just edit the mac leave all fields as default and that is it.
If you have a mac from a different carrier then sprint, make sure you use the proper realm for that mac

I thought you were alright,
Ok did you follow the dir from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447615
This is how I did it, I d/l the derp.zip, then unziped it, took the CT file and replaced the CT in the system/apps made sure the permission were the same as the one that got replaced. I have root explorer so it was easy to copy/paste and set permissions.
Reboot phone
Then I dialed ##DEBUG# or ##33284# entered my msl, went down to ( WIMAX CT ), tapped ( Open Device ) waited a few for the info to load. After that I entered my mac using the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx hit (set). Then backed out all the way to the home screen.
Reboot Phone
If your Realm is not the same from the carriers mac then of course you need to change it.
dial ##3282# tap (view)/(WiMAX) enter MSL, tap (REALM) if you dont have the 4g radio on then Realm will be blank, if you turn it on just back one screen and reenter the (REALM) and it will be there. If you need to edit tap the menu on the phone and a window at the bottom will pop up (WRITE Rlm) enter the info save back all the way out.
Reboot Phone
Again these are the steps I did other might have a different way.
Good Luck, It took me awhile to understand the process also, so don't give up hope.
**cough** cough**
I'm another victim of the dreaded imei =0 bug. I injected my imei back and also used the danx tool to get me back on 4g by following these directions but no dice.
If i force wcdma i can get 4g for a minute before the signal bar drops to nothing and eventual the connection dies and my carrier text than says "Unknown".
I called tmobile and they tried to reprov my line but still only 2g.
Anybody have any similar experiences? Any suggestions to get 4g back?
Yes unfortunately I sent mines in for warranty exchange, waiting for the replacement device.

If you backed up your IMEI then Inject the imei and then flash a different radio.... Don't quote me on this but I believe a member or two did that and got 4g back... Like I said in going by memory so I'm not sure if that is what they did

Hey guys ,
I recently flashed Rootbox on my phone,and the ROM is amazing. It has bugs here and there but one of the most frustrating one is the inability to use data. I can access WiFi without a problem,but it won't access data. I tried switching to 2G only networks,GSM/WCDMA only,LTE , I even updated the Modem ! I am at a standstill here guys and I would greatly appreciate if someone would have some helpful insights on what I should do to get data working?
Thanks!
