Flashed CM7 and Stuck in 1x RTT? [Possible Solution]

I recently received a 004 hardware rev Evo with the latest HBoot. After rooting and flashing CM7RC0 (thank you Lithid) I found myself stuck in 1x RTT mode. Switching back to a Sense restored and enabled 3G once more. Going back to CM7, I once again would be stuck in 1x RTT.
The following solved my issue.
Flash a Sense based ROM to access ## codes and ...
1. ##3282#
2. Edit Mode
3. Enter MSL
4. EVDO
5. Preferred Mode
6. Set it to Automatic
7. Press Menu and commit modifications
8. Reboot
At this point you may go back and/or restore CM7 and 3G should be enabled.
To others stuck in 1xRTT mode in CM7, I post here hoping it helps others as it did me.

Probably a stupid guestion but how can I find my msl

You win.

May be old, but just tried this on my Shift and worked like a charm. Happily now running 3G on CM7, thanks!

I switched to SalvageMod and I am having the same issue.
I will try this later tonight.

Just did this, phone is rebooting now.
Was interesting tho, EVDO was set to 'CDMA', hopefully now that it's set to 'Auto' I will get better speeds and actually get 3G while on my GB ROM.

Holy **** it actually worked. Excuse my language.
Before I was hitting MAX 300kbps down over "3g" on Sense and 1xRTT on SalvageMod.
Did the fix and now Im getting true 3G and hitting 1-1.6Mbit down and around 0.5Mbit up.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

So, I dont know if Im imagining things, but it seems like I have worse battery life after doing this. Any ideas?

I actually was locked on 1x RTT after I spent some time on one of the CM7 nightlies. Even after I flashed a number of Sense ROMs I was still locked, at that point I figured it was my old phone and so I got a replacement, I wish I had seen this first.

Yep, pretty sure battery is suffering now.

Or you could just download network from the market. Easier than flashing a sense Rom and going back.
Also the battery drain is from changing it from cdma. That was one of the battery fixes for the evo, to change it to cdma, most people did it after rooting their phones. Now you are changing also affecting battery life.

I cant find an app simply called "Network"
Can you provide a link?

So network kinda broke my 3g, switched to cdma to try it out, then back to "auto". 3g icon is back but my data speeds are not

flashing to a sense rom right now to try this. Im on a 004 Evo as well running the latest MIUI and I noticed theres now way i can drive around from VA - Boston and not switch from 1x to 3g atleast once... hopefully this will change that.

Thank you! If this works it'll prove that it was an issue in AOSP ROM's. I was tired of people saying that Sense ROM's don't show true signal. It was a load of B.S. and I knew it was something else because I would flip between UD, CM, etc and it would still have the same issue.
Nice find dude. This should be a sticky or added to AOSP ROM releases until they can find out what's causing the issue in the ROM itself.

ok so i just implemented the fix. switching back to MiUI to see if it worked.
edit: now shows when i have 3g thanks. im guessing the extra battery drain is due to it now switching from 3g to 1x now. or constantly scanning?

Thanks a lot, finally can flash CM7 again.

[Q] My dl speed on 3g at home is 133kbs my gf is 1Mps in same house same phone.

I have a rooted evo using one of about ten roms depending and my gf is unrooted. Now we live in 3g only area and her phone probably has never been in a 4g area where mine is everyday when I go to work. I've tried everything I know to try. The media stream fix, the throttle cap fix on various roms, have the most recent radios and such. Even done the combo package to make certain i have the latest stuff. I'm using prl 01115, 1.90_003,3.70.651.1 and 2.15.00.11.19 on hardware version 0003. Used unrevoked and doesn't matter which bu clockwork up until month ago then used amon ra. I get almost an exact download speed after 100 tests over period of a few weeks at around 133kps. My gf unrooted evo using identical phone with at least week of tests she gets on average about 1Mps. My 4g speeds at work are awesome. Even during the busy period of the day I get 6Mps. I've got as many as 10 to 12 late at night. Get the standard upload as well. I'm out of options? Please help.....i'm past the nob stage i suppose to a rookie, but i catch on if explained as far as extensive stuff goes. Change roms, kernels, boot animations and basic themes and mods are where my experience ends. Any advice?

do you guys have the same PRL and pri? that could account for differences in speed

Yes....doesn't matter if they aren't the same we still get same speeds pretty much, but yes they are the same. A little more info for you. We have same settings as far as roaming etc etc. That isn't it. There is one tower specifically we use. Kinda small town and that tower covers city limits pretty much. There is another by the interstate way the other direction but i'm dead certain we use the same tower. Get about three quarters to almost full signal on both phones in same areas good or bad. Another issue is and I hate to say this, but dude I use my phone alot. I stay online with it god knows how much. Lets just say I use my no cap data like a mofo. My gf however is a sprint data dream. Pays for extra data never in 4g and most blackberry users use more data. Dunno?

anyone else?

I dont put much stock in speed tests, benchmarks etc.... My wife, daughterr and myself all have evos and I've tested all of them and they're all different. Of course mine is the fastest because I'm special...

Sounds like what happened to me. What PRL are both of you running?

I understand what your saying guy, but over a period of two weeks at least five tests per day and they all are within 100 kbs of each other in results and her phone avg is 1.2Mps and mine is 133kbs. Dude that is a HUGE difference. Either i'm being throttled or something is wrong with my phone, but what? I've reset and updated and done every possible thing I can to improve it and no matter what I do my avg speed stays around the same or is zero. I might add that i've done this using several different speed test sites. I range from 120 to 140. I'm out of possibilites. I need help from someone that knows more than me for sure.

We are both running latest. Both phones were updated to the latest prl couple days ago.

I believe some of us are being throttled, to heck with the naysayers! Do you have root explorer? If so try this....
Open Root Explorer
Select DATA
Select SYSTEM
Select THROTTLE, Delete this File/Folder and in a minute or so run speed test again (a few times).
Your speeds should increase, mine do, I go from .200 down to 1.3 down! BUT, the file will rebuild itself within 5 minutes or so, once it does my speeds are back to .200 down. The way around this for me was to use a Hacked PRL #00001 found HERE. This will have you as roaming, but if you use WiFi as much as possible, dont tether your PC to download Torrents, it should be OK. I havent seen where anyone has been canceled from using this Hack, yet anyway

cool....gonna give it a try. be back in few and give results.

Or you could just downgrade your prl like me. I went back to 60675 and dl speed s are back up

Fix: I dont take the credit, but just letting you know.
First, I downloaded the sprint PRL's from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029900)(thanks to cordell12)
They should be in the second post. After downloading, unzip them onto the root of your SD cards.
Then, download the EPST.apk (I have attached it). In Android 2.2, they removed the ##775# PRL functionality, and this .apk will give the functionality back. Download the .apk and move it to system/app folder using root explorer. Tap to install.
After it installs, go to a dialer (you need to have a sense on I believe) and press ##775#. It will prompt you to enter your MSL.
After entering the MSL, it should take you to a screen with the "Update PRL" option. Click it. After a few seconds, it should bring up all the .prl files you have (you unzipped them earlier). Choose the 60677.prl file. Click ok.
Press the menu capcitive button, and click "Commit Modifications". The phone will automatically reboot.
P.S. Can you test your speed and tell me if it worked?

Sorry...Easter bunny showed up for my gf lil girl. Ok I'm here on my Evo on stock browser lil slow.

Just follow what I said earlier...it worked for me

Mine will vary from a .200 to 1.0 increase (depending on time of day) just from deleting that file. I tried to change permissions on the file and when it went to do whatever it does I got sent into a never ending bootloop It took a nandroid to bring me back!

Are the ROMs your running AOSP?
If so, flash to a sense rom and update prl and and profile.
I had a huge drop. from 1.3mb to 300kb, because id been on AOSP for so long and had ignored my profile, i was only two prls behind, profile can help alot

After updating my PRL my 3g data speeds were pretty bad, sounds the same as your problem. I did this and it fixed it right up, back to normal now.

[Q] Data profile update errors and extreme slow speeds - Help please

When I try to update my data profile (because of VERY slow 3G speeds on my E4GT converted to Boost) I get "The profile update could not be completed. Error: Unknown error". Sometimes, I also get the Error 67, that my Sprint data username and password are incorrect. The E4GT is on a stock GB ROM.
The 3G symbol and arrows take several seconds to appear after I take the phone out of airplane mode, sometimes requiring a restart, and even then, once they appear, they sometimes stay greyed out even though apps are asking for data. When the arrows do go green and orange to indicate active data transfer, it's VERY slow, almost 1x like.
Also, sometimes, far far more often than my Galaxy S1, the signal bars will drop from very good signal (full or almost full) to half or to almost none, then come back up.
'
In testing my 3G connection speed with the Ookla Speedtest.net app right now, my first test got a 962ms ping, a download of 121kbps, and an upload of 152kbps. Two further tests resulted on "network communication issues) with the 3G icon's arrows being greyed out. It was on the Witchita, KS server. I could not get it on the San Francisco server that my Galaxy S1 tested on, as the listbox to choose the server would not scroll to server more than about 1,000 KM away.
For reference, in the same spot, my Sprint/Samsung Galaxy S1 (on Boost, with the same account that's now on the E4GT - Neither is on the network at the same time as the other) scores thus: 126ms ping, a download of 470kbps, and an upload of 797kbps. It was on a local (to me, as in, in my city) server, San Francisco.
Help!

Not saying I know anything about being on Boost but found a couple of XDA threads that talk about Profile/Prl updating on Boost and tweaks for speeds on 3g/4g and wifi.
I'm sure there's a better/quicker answer from the Boost folks here but this might help get you started if you haven't seen them.
Also, saw some outside threads on the same issue you had via Google.
If you've seen these, sorry, just was looking into it.

Thanks. I saw the first thread you linked (In fact, that's how I got my OG Epic onto Boost) and did use it (and others) to get my S2 onto Boost. But where in there do you see talk of resetting the radio?
As far as the second thread, I haven't done those tweaks on my OG S1, and it gets MUCH faster data than this S2, so it must be something else.

Sorry, check the link again. I had posted the wrong link originally. Hang on, I'll copy it over to here in case I linked it wrong.
:edit: Here's the post. Sorry about that. And this was taken from a Boost user post on 3g stops functioning.

I fixed the problem. Here's what I did, just in case someone else's phone experiences the same symptoms.
-from the dialer, type ##3282# ...
-click EDIT and type your MSL code
-select EVDO from the menu
-I waited about 3 seconds while the signal bars and the 3G icons disappeared ... then I waited another couple of seconds for the icons to re-appear
-then I pressed the back button until I was back in the Home screen
NOTE: I didn't change any settings during this procedure, the 3G restored itself just by entering and exiting this menu
It looks like the radio resets during this procedure and everything restores back to normal. It's interesting that updating the Profile and the PRL did not help, even though the radio resets itself after performing said updates.

I tried the radio reset procedure you quoted, but it had no effect. Here's a video (4m, 14s) showing me trying the reset procedure and a speed test afterward, as well as my profile update difficulties.
Take a look. My apologies for the focus issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MMh4gD7sGA

Have you manually set prl or tweaked anything on any settings?
And is this new or always after you changed it to boost?

I have not set a PRL. The only thing I tweaked was to remove the Sprint proxy in ##3282, though this did not help my speeds. When I bought the phone it had a bad ESN, so I never activated it on Sprint, only on Boost.

Only thing i would think to try is flashing a one click, since I've seen others on boost that says it doesn't change keys etc, and seeing of that helps.
Wish i had more experience with boost to be of any help.

I tried a one click back to EL29 (Gingerbread) last night since I read that I must be on a GB ROM to install CWM and proceed from there. No change in speeds, still have the error 67 registration failure.

Further, I rolled my OG Epic 4G back to stock so that I could get at the dialer codes and get it recognized in QPST, read its settings and saved them to a file, then opened up my E4GT in a window beside it. I then duped all the M.IP and PPP Config settings. I also checked the NAM settings to make sure they agreed.
No luck, I'm still having the same issues, while my OG Epic 4G is not.

[Q] Data applications don't work on anything but H+/4g

I have a S3 i747 in canada on koodo (telus towers) and recently i have been in areas with poor 4g reception and am on 3G for the most part. i have noticed that none of my applications which use mobile data function on 3G though, i have looked around and found a few posts relating to DNS issues but it seems to be more in general data not working and doesn't seem to apply. I have my phone set to LTD/GSM/WCDMA and the APN is set propperly from koodo, pulled off their website. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: I should note i am running Paranoid Androind 3.6 but have also noticed this issue on CM and Carbon

Seems to be there, i was almost wondering if it could be somethign with Koodo where my data plan only covers 4g and then doesnt work over 3g or lower.. i may try giving them a call to see.

flash a stock type rom and see if it helps. I'd do that before consulting the carrier. I doubt they would cut you off from earlier generation speeds

Crawling internet over data & NO Downloading

Problem:
The speeds which I get over 3g are ridiculous!! can hardly access any website, everything keeps timing out !!
I can't even download a 300 Kb File !!
Be it over Google play or any other download using the browser, I just can't download Anything.
The download starts..downloading on the notification bar..after waiting for a couple of minutes, it times out ??
Is anybody else facing this problem??
Has it got something to do with the E-988 model ??
Tries:
1.Tried switching carriers(3 different ones)>>same issue with everyone of them
2. Used the 3g/4g optimizer app along with the 3g tweak script by Zepplinrox>>NO effect
3. Tried to find a copy so that i can flash a new radio for my E-988>>couldn't find one
4. Tried using GetRIL but it said my phone is not supported.
There is Absolutely no problem with either downloading/internet access while I am using WIFI, but as soon as I switch to data, it just dies out
Any solutions/suggestions would help out a lot..
>>Took my phone down to LG service center, they said it works just fine:laugh::laugh:<<

Numerous factors depict whether or not you get a good speed when it comes to data. Location, congestion, company and location again.

Agreed man..but still, No 3G is that bad that you can't download a freaking 300 Kb file..
I assume that the radio is messed up..

Make sure you are using the correct APN`s
It might be a good while before those modems are posted things seem slow around here. Make sure you are actually on 3G as it says 3G at the top and not 2G/E right?

I use E988 too....and have no 3G problem so far.....

APN is correct for every SIM. The problem doesn't seem to be with the provider, its either a hardware issue or maybe a software issue.
I have 3 GSM micro SIMs from 3 different providers..
The GSM signal keeps fluctuating..1 bar to 5 bars(no issue with audio quality though).
Never ever seen a 3G icon on the phone, hardly get a HSDPA(H).
>>Googled stuff and tried to Force my phone to WCDMA only, started having network issues..
>>checked ur stuff on build.prop edit as well..tried that..Didn't help..
>>Have a HTC One X as well, 3G works like a charm on that..

Thats the thing..I took it over to LG service center. They kept it over the weekend and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the hardware !!
I told them it could be an issue with the receiver antenna (read it somewhere).
They said if that was the case then WIFI would be affected as well (which isn't).
I'm still confused.
Thanks for the input thiough..
will post if there is Any improvement.

same problem on f240s. wifi speed and stability is great, but mobile data is just way too slow.. i cant figure it out..
im usually stuck on "g", dont think i ever saw "3g" there.. the only thing that i think could be the problem is the 1900mhz frequency that my model doesnt have, but it has the 2100mhz frequency that my operator uses along with the 1900mhz frequency..
is there any way to resolve this? i saw some ways to convert the phone to e988. would thet help? i tried to alter things in the secret menu, but no luck. no setting worked except automatic..
