Vogue Stopped Using EVDO After Rom Upgrade

I flashed the rom using IMCokeMan's cool tool and then installed a bunch of apps.
But then I found that while the device can see the EVDO network, as soon as a program tries to use it, the program stalls and then waits for the phone to revert to using the 1X (GPRS?) method.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
RS

what rom did you flash to, was it a custom rom off ppcgeeks, or did you flash with an elf (gsm) rom
the vogue (CDMA) touch uses 1xRTT slower data and EVDO which is the faster (3G) data, not gprs like GSM devices

Used CokeMan Vogue Rom
I just followed these directions:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12255&page=2
I have the Sprint Vogue and that rom is supposed to be for Vogue.
I keep trying the "initiate custom nai entry to device" under settings->phone->internet->get settings.
My phone can see the EVDO but cannot use it. It defaults to 1X and drains the hell out of my battery.
It's possible it's a sprint outage in SF, but I don't know.

i would post in the forum for the individual who made the rom (usually they have a thread going on over there at ppcgeeks.com) honestly i dunno why your using a custom rom on the touch there isnt any out with any new features really (yet) if anything they have the OEM rom so you can flash back, otherwise call tech support your device may need to be re-provisioned which would require tech support to assist with

Only 1xrtt fix
This happened to me too. Call sprint tech support and have them do a depro repro on your account. Basically they reset your vision setting on your account and force a OTA provisioning.

Re
Me too noobs in these things and flushed my rom and got in serious trouble and called pc expert and get fixed

Same prob found this
##778 choose edit,to unlock s/b 000000, tap view info, then security make sure the HDR AN AUTH Password is your phones ESN

You just need to update your roaming list. Call support and they will give you a program code to call to update the roaming list. That is all that is wrong.

[Q] Help! Radio for 4G!!!

ok, i have full root, everything is done correct, super user access...everything
I had Damage Control 3.1.2, updated the radio it worked fine! then i went and updated wimax..and everything went to hell!!
i have tried to switching back and fourth between the different wimax radios, and sometimes it would come back..well i got sick of messing with it so i went back to stock with root! and now i cant seem to get 4g to work!
Under the Menu settings, software Info:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 1.36.00.04.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-ac94cf60 [email protected]#1
Build Number: 1.17.651.1
Browser Version: WebKit 3.1
PRI Version: 1.34_003
PRL Version: 60669
i just need to know which radio i should re try just to get my 4g back!!!
please help asap

Your title was a little misleading so I canged it accordingly.

I would suggest trying this to get you to 1.47 with all the the correct radio/wimax
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
Test that out -- it worked great for me.
From there, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 and download the 2.2 Rooted Odexed ROM, New radio, and new wimax. Follow the directions and make sure to do a full reboot after flashing each.

trying it now! im trying to avoid going to 2.2 until DamageControl releases their version...but i hope this works!

hey do i need to re root also? because i lost my root
wait, i just red you had to install super user, and its suppose to automatically root/nand/ and do everything? how is this possible

Can you post a little bit more detail as to what issues you are experiencing?
Is your 4G just stuck on scanning?
Is your 4G scanning > connecting to sprint > obtaining IP address > back to scanning > etc etc endless loop.
Have you checked to make sure your wimax mac id is still correct?
What area are you in? Try posting to see if anyone else in your area is experiencing problems. Just worth a try because earlier last week, I went through the trouble of flashing a bunch of different radios, reading through a bunch of fixes only to find out that other people in my area couldn't get 4G to sign on either. So it turned out that it was an issue with Sprint itself. Had to go one week without 4G but now its back on and its faster than before.

yes that is the problem i was going through, but at certain times on DamageControl it would start to work if i got lucky and got the right Wimax to work

super user does not automatically do anything. it simply provides /system access to those applications that require it.
if you applied either the leaked or the official froyo update that was not modified to maintain root access, you are out of luck for the time being.

That was the exact same problem I had on my phone. It turns out that 4G was just down in the area. I even went through the trouble of reflashing my wimax radios. What city are you in right now? I can try to search other forums to see if there are others in your area experiencing the same issues.
What you can do if you are still restless, run ADB and run wimax_mtd, you can either use ADB or you can also download Terminal Emulator from the market.
then type
su
wimax_mtd
Go through it and check to see if your wimax mac address is still correct by verifying it with the address you have underneath the battery.
Next would be to check if your user login info is still correct. It should be [email protected] I believe you can check this in the data settings. Just dial ##data#, you might need your MSL, but I think you can still go into view mode without the MSL. Im not really the best at explaining things in detail if any of this dont make sense, feel free to msg me. I'm fairly new but I do know how it felt to have 4G stop working all of a sudden.
Also I believe if you updated your wimax, your base rom must match for it to work. Such as the wimax from the 1.47 ota, you must be running a 1.47 base rom.

I assumed that you still had root. If you are not rooted, you are out of luck. You will need to root your phone before using the method. If you are on 2.2 without root, you are completely out of luck.
Using the whitslack method will not root/unlock nand for you -- it simply will update your phone to 1.47 with the corresponding radios.

If you ran the first part of Whitslack's method (putting the PC36IMG on your SD card and running it in bootloader) just do the second part (putting the superuser.apk on your SD card and flashing it in custom recovery) and you will have full root again.

Rom Manager?
Update for our convo*
Ok just re got rom manager, and flashed Clockwork, so my root is still there

Actually I used whitslacks method and I did retain root. Since his pc136img contains the Dev hboot all I had to do was just as his thread says flash the superuser zip when you are done

If you are running the latest radios and wimax radio I would flash one of the newer 2.2 froyo roms.

[Q] EVO 4G Flashed for Cleartalk, Cricket, or Metro PCS

I picked up a EVO 4G from a friend who had it flashed to work on a service provider called Clear Talk, he says it can work on cricket, and Metro PCS also. Not sure where to begin, on getting this phone on my Sprint Account. Do I have to get it reflashed first just to get the line active and then proceed to root etc. Need a little help on where to start, thank you in advance

By flash you mean a custom rom is flashed right? If so, you are already rooted. I would ask your friend which method he/she used. Also, before flashing any other Rom, turn off the device. Once its off, hold vol. Down and power until your booted into recovery. Meanwhile, you can download any Rom for the evo and place it on the root of your sd card. At that point, go into recovery and choose flash .zip from sd card or something like that. Let it run and then reboot.
Also, it would be smart to put the Rom on your sd card before anything. When you download a Rom, don't extract the .zip file.

Figure out what rom is on there, make a backup of it just incase.

Thanks I will ask him, before I start on anything, but should I get the phone activated before I do any changes to the device or could I do what I want and then be able to activate it. This is my first time owning a phone that is not activated on my account

Does anyone now how to update the evo if its flashed?

So what is needed to flash a phone to a company like ClearTalk. A lot of people have ClearTalk down here and I had a phone that I wanted to flash to them so my sis could buy it, but I have no idea exactly what was needed to do it. Thanks

the phone has to be reprogrammed (not simply a ROM) using your PC and software tools such as QPST and CDMA Workshop. That or you take it to an actual Clear, Cricket, MPCS store and let them flash it using their software.
Google is your friend: "how to flash (insert phone here) to (insert provider)" for example.......
If your EVO is already flashed to another provider then it is HIGHLY LIKELY that you bought a stolen phone/one with a bad ESN (for whatever reason) that can never be reactivated on the Sprint network, hence the reason it was flashed to another provider

[Q] Get 'Unauthorized' when trying to make calls, will not OTA

I am using the Jiminy V Rom on Cricket
I am unable to OTA or make calls on the Cricket network. when I try and make a call I get 'Unauthorized' and when I try to OTA (*228) the system says 'unable' at the very beginning. I have done many EVO's to cricket before, and I have checked and double checked all my PST settings, my MEID/MIN/MDN/PRL particularly.
Even when OTA doesnt work , I can always get voice/text working on virtually any other phone by manually programming the MDN/MIN/Home SID & PRL.
My cricket home SID is 4923 & I am using PRL 32200
I have even loaded a working evo's PST settings into this phone (via QPST, read from one phone, write to another), and get same results even after making sure the MDN/MIN & MEID are correct.
The symptoms are exactly the same as if my MEID is not in the cricket system, yet I have triple checked them (and I had someone else program another phone with my MEID and that phone OTA'd and made calls on Cricket with no problem).
Some other data for consideration Android 2.1, build Baseband 2.15.00……007.25 kernel 2.6., Radio 2.05.00.06.10, HBOOT 0.79.0000 SHIP S-OFF
I have also tried factory builds 2.2 (3.26.651.6) and 2.1, (Baseband 2.05.00.06.10,Build 1.41.651.1) with same result. Note: they did not change the PST.
Is there a factory build which will put everything back to Sprint or should I consider updating the HBoot and /or Radio?, I assume the programming for the OTA is done in the Radio?
I am stumped.

Bump, If anybody can help me with this, its been driving me up the wall for two weeks now.,

Have you tried flashing an RUU and updating everything from there? If it isn't the MEID then it might just be your phone having a glitch. Flash it using RUU and let me know.

how do you reset PST/NAM (SPC,MIN,MDN, Etc) to factory?
I have tried RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe , hboot goes from 0.92 to 0.79, radio from 2.15 to 1.39.00.04.26, and android from 2.2 to 2.1.
But the pst/nam settings remain unchanged, mdn,min, sip, nai, etc are all cricket. even the SPC is still unlocked at 000000. ANd the S-OFF flag is off, Shouldnt the RUU's re-root the phone?
Is there an alternate way to run the RUU, I have tried putting the phone in HBOOT usb mode, then run the RUU but with three different batteries it tells me they are too low (under 30%).
Should I be in Hboot mode to run RUU? (I have been running it from the PC with the phone booted up.

To answer a couple of my own questions, none of the RUU's reset the EPST whether they where loaded from the PC via the .exe method or from the SD card PB31IMG method.
I found a reference to ##786# and found that yes that does reset the EPST (including the SPC) back to factory.
So I figured maybe the problem would be solved, so I updated PST for cricket (MDN,MIN,SID,PRL) and tried again, still no OTA and still 'Unauthoriized; when I try to make calls.
I am starting to believe I have a hardware problem, but how can most of the phone work and yet it have (apparently) problems transmitting MEID?

Seems like no interest here or everybody stumped. I am willing to pay some one to help me resolve this. contact to my email or post here, I will certainly let the forum know when I resolve this. Thanks

Your problem has different symptoms from mine (the threadstarter), it sounds like your prl is incorrect. If you have a correct prl & sid (these can vary for the market you are in , in Phoenix the SID is 4923 and I use the old nationwide non EVDO PRL of 1040) when you dial 611 you will get Cricket, regardless of your ESN/MEID being registered with Cricket, if this doesnt work do not go further. Find a PRL/SID that works (sometimes changing CDMA connect from Auto to Home only can help) . Also make sure MNC/MNC are set to 310/0. Country code/Carrier I think.
Once you get 611 to connect to Cricket, *228 (OTA) will connect to cricket, if It disconnects you before the music starts playing and says 'Sorry....' it is most likely your MEID is not registered correctly with Cricket. In Phoenix *228 always works on EVo's as long as SID/PRL/MEID are correct,
The message you are getting about a credit card required means you are connnecting to some other carriers network (usually Verizon) which is transferring you to someplace to allow you to make a call even though you are
"not authorized" on the network. Go back and check 611 & *228.*228 will load the correct prl for your area and rate plan, check after it runs to see what was loaded. It will also most likely overwrite EVDO settings including MIP, Sip, NAI, etc.
At this point your phone should work, talk & text.
