I partially solved my issue in another thread, but still cannot connect to 4g. I had initially thought my RSA key was gone, but was able to find it in an old nandroid and reflash it. KeyChecker now says my Key is Ok. I verified my MAC address is correct and have flashed the most recent wimax radio. I have also updated my profile and prl. However, I still cannot connect to 4G. I was in Minneapolis in a strong 4g area and turned on the 4g. It turns on, scans, says connecting to sprint, and then quickly returns back to scanning, finds sprint, tries to connect, then scans again. I tried this is multiple spots all over the city but still couldn't connect. I am running Fresh 3.5 with the stock kernel and have connected to 4g in the past prior to temporarily losing my keys. I have flashed different sense and aosp roms with the same result. Someone please help! I am stuck! I would like avoid unrooting if at all possible, but will if that is a last resort.
I would call Sprint tech support and see if they could do anything from their end. You can try changing kernels or flashing a rooted stock rom to see if the problem gets corrected. For a rooted stock rom, download this and flash from recovery after doing a full wipe. Make a nandroid backup of your current setup first.

OK, Sprint was no help. As of now, my wimax key is intact and Mac address correct. If I am on Fresh rom 3.5 and turn on 4g in a solid 4g area, it turns on, scans, finds Sprint, then disconnects, over and over, never really connecting. Any other Rom I have tried, both sense and aosp, 4g won't even turn on, it just gets stuck at "turning on". I have also tried different kernels. I don't know what else to do. I upgraded my radios and profiles, would downgrading do anything?

I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Every since yesterday afternoon, I can't connect to 4G. It scans...connecting to Sprint.....scanning..etc. I never lost my keys though.

Same exact thing here. Took me hours to figure it out but here's what I did..total pain in the arse! I basically updated radios in succession. I loaded an old Sprintlovers PC36IMG.zip that had all the old radios (pri 1.77). After that I updated radios again, pri 1.90. Loaded up my Dark EVO 2.2 ROM, made sure 4G was working. Then while in recovery I flashed Caulkins .zip with all of the newest radios, loaded CM7, loaded GAPPS and BAM...everything is working great....total pain and probably a lot of unnecessary steps, but it worked!
As an update, I ran wimax_ mtd in terminal and it ran through fine, everything passed and was OK, except next to "check firmware file" it says not match and next to "verify app fireware key" it says not match. Any ideas what that means?? Can you give me exact details with file links to how you fixed yours?

After i flashed the Starburst v1.7 I have no 3G? Speed tests are: Ping 1910ms, Down-15kbps up-51kbps
I've been getting those speeds during the evening ever since the 4s went on sale.
If you know your msl, dial ##debug#, enter the msl, click evdo and look at the bottom at the AN-AAA. If it says pass then that means you are authenticated. Probably means Sprint is slow.
mine says none
How do I authenticate?

AN-AAA says "none" Anyone know how to get my 3G back working?
Sent from my GalaxyS2
Never saw none before. It should be pass or fail. Did you do an ESN repair on this phone and forget to program your account name and passwords? If not, Odin a stock firmware.
You could try to dial ##72786#, which will erase everything and you will need to reprovision your phone. Going to the sprint site and swapping phones and swapping back and reprovisioning could help.
You could always punt and flash back to stock and seek help at a sprint store. Look up DYI USB jig so you can reset the Odin counter. It's a micro USB adapter and a 301kohm resistor jumpered across two pins.
Mine says Fail next to AN-AAA.. I'm on Starbust 1.8 and Stock Pulled w/CWM kernel. Guess I'll flash back to stock and see what it says. But I never had great 3G (or 4G) before this ROM either.

Flashing back may not fix it, it's a provisioning issue. Try system/about phone/ updates/update provision. You may have to call sprint or go to a store. It is fixable. I just had a similar problem but for a different reason.
i would wipe data and cache format system n wipe dalvik n reinstall 1.8
Another thing you can look at is dialing ##data#, select edit, select white box and enter msl. Select data profile.
Username should be your sprint email address. [email protected]
Device ip 0.0.0.0
Primary ha ip 255.255.255.255
Secondary 68.28.57.76 (at least on my phone)
Ha password is secret (yes the word secret in lower case). This is used to setup the encryption for the key exchange. This hidden and you can not see it.
Aaa password is used actually to login to the network. It is phone specific and changes every time your phone is provisioned. It is hidden also. I would not change the aaa password change unless you know it. You probably need todo a hex dump to get this, newer phones prevent QPST, qxdm or CDMA workshop from seeing it.
If the first 4 items I mentioned are different try the above values. Avoid changing the the last two I mentioned.
There are a couple other things you can check with QPST and CDMA workshop but if you are not doing anything illegal, normal provisioning would fix them.
Last night (in bed), I did a nand backup and then the following and check AN-AAA after each...
1. Restored my stock rom nand (includes LostKernel). AN-AAA passed.
2. Factory Reset, installed fresh Starburst 1.8. AN-AAA passed.
3. Installed StockCWM5 kernel AN-AAA passed.
4. Restored by backup from above (SB1.8 w/StockCWM5). AN-AAA failed.
5. Format system and re-installed Starburst 1.8, AN-AAA Passed
So, just re-installing Starburst 1.8 seemed to fix it.
Still had AN-AAA Passed this morning after getting to work (we have bad signal here) and 3G was working at about 300kpbs. However, I just checked again and it say's failed again and 3G is not working. Will look at it when I leave the building.
gedster314, those settings looked the same for me, except the 3rd octet of the secondary address was different. It was 177.
Followup to last post...
I left the building where I should have better 3G signal. Still showed "failed" on AN-AAA. Tried several things.. rebooted, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, resintalled SB1.8, then all those things together with a /system format. Nothing helped, still said "Failed". By this time, I had reached where I was to have lunch, which incidentally is in a VERY good signal area (I635 & MacArthur near Dallas).
Even though AN-AAA still showed failed, I did a speed test on 3G and got back 1115kbps down and 600kpbs up. That's the best 3G speeds I've ever seen on this phone. That area also gives me about 12000kpbs down on 4G. (everywhere else I get about 1/5 to 1/10 of those speeds).
So, I don't see how 3G reception is at all dependant on AN-AAA pass/fail.
Now after starburst 1.8 install im getting LOS for the first time and still crap internet speeds. Guess I'm bailing on this rom. Can't seem to get any help on the strarburst thread.

So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.
Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)
From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.
Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?
Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.
A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).
Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.
What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"
Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.
Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.

First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed
Thanks ya'll

Good going JLM!
Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.
Edit: Also, what's the 'clear phone efs'?

It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.

Did you do a full restore or a data preserve?
Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.
Sprint Galaxy Nexus
4.2.1
Not rooted
I performed a factory reset on my phone yesterday due to it bogging down and being rather slow. I never did a reset after getting the 4.2.1 update so I figured it was a good time. I woke up this morning, putzed around the house, and setup Tasker again. I laid my phone down for ten minutes while I got ready for work. Whenever I tried to wake my phone and nothing happened. I tried a few more times and the screen would not wake up. I pulled the battery, hard reset, reinserted battery and the phone wouldn't turn on. Then, I wiped the contact terminals (on the battery and the phone) and reinserted the battery and the phone booted up. However, since then I have had some major problems.
1. Power button does not always work properly. I have to press it several times to sleep or wake the phone. (Okay, not major, just inconvenient and probably unrelated to the issues below)
2. No data connection whatsoever.
3. In the data usage menu, there is no longer a data toggle switch.
4. Under the Network Mode option, LTE/CDMA produces absolutely no cell signal whatsoever. I have to switch to CDMA only. (WiFi works fine)
5. Toggling airplane mode, as some have suggested, does not cause the phone to connect to mobile data. Another factory reset did not restore mobile data. Rebooting did not restore mobile data.
6. All of these problems are true before and after factory reset. No new problems were created and nothing was exacerbated as a result of performing a factory reset.
I've been from one end of the internet to another looking for solutions to this problem and I have found that many are having a similar issue but toggling airplane mode or rebooting fixes it. Not the case for me. Most also seem to be having this problem after rooting. Again, not the case for me.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to not return the phone. Purchased from Radioshack and the 30-day warranty has expired. This is my second gnex already, as the first one's charging port broke. It took over a week to get this one from another store which graciously shipped it in to my store. There's also the issue of being broke and not really being able to afford another $30 activation fee on top of the deductible for a new phone.
Why not try reflashing the stock image and updating again to 4.2.1?

Not at all. You'd use Odin . Myself I have very spotty sprint signal in my home. Spoke to a corporate executive and they mailed me an AirRave free . Never have less then full bars 3g all around home. You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon . b - call up and try to get an airavana.

Excellent. I will give it a shot at some point today or tomorrow and then let you know how it worked out. Thanks!
So, I restored the phone to stock. Signal is still non-existent on LTE/CDMA mode. Cannot perform Profile or PRL updates. Still no mobile data. I'm guessing hardware failure?
Also, on setup it asks for a SIM card. And at the bottom of the drop-down menu, it says "No SIM card|Sprint" or "No SIM card|No Service" depending on if I am in CDMA or LTE/CDMA.
Also, in the Status menu:
My phone number
Unknown
MIN
Unknown
PRL Version
Unknown
ICCID
Unknown
Seems a little odd to me.
Attempted fully rooting and flashing radios. No luck there either. It's also not wanting to update. Tells me my phone is up-to-date (connected via WiFi). Downloading Cyanogen now to see if it will work in the morning.
And while attempting to flash a new ROM, got the famous "can't copy anything to the device ever, under any circumstances" error.
Update: Got CM10 installed. Still "No SIM" error, no 3G, no data, no LTE. Found some more information on this No SIM error. Apparently a few others have had this same problem and in the end had to get a new phone.
Anyone know anything?
You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon
I've been back to stock twice now. The first thing I did was flash to stock. Then I played around a bit and now I'm back to stock again.
Is there a difference between using Odin and Nexus Root Toolkit to return to stock?

Wow, one day and my thread is buried!
After battling for about a day, I got updated to JB 4.2.1, I can do profile and PRL updates again, but there is still no 3G/mobile data, and I still have zero bars on LTE/CDMA and have to use just CDMA. I am currently stock but the bootloader is unlocked, no root.
If anyone has heard any solution, please help. Also, if there's a difference between flashing to stock with Odin vs NRT, please say so.

Try fastboot flashing your LTE and CDMA radios again. As far as I know, fastboot commands do NOT require root. I had a similar issue.
Edit: link to post with directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39446679
Sent from my R2-D2 unit on the far side of the moon
Indeed, fastboot does not require root. I've flashed my radios several times now in various different ways. I even flashed different versions. I attempted again but with no luck. I have normal service when using CDMA but nothing on LTE/CDMA. Still no data, still "No SIM card" error.
Pretty sure I'll have to get it replaced. I've gone from stock JB back to stock ICS, rooted, CM10, back to stock ICS, rooted, back to stock JB unrooted, and flashed three different radios. I'm surprised I haven't managed to brick it yet.
UPDATE: Sprint is sending me a new phone, for free.

So my dad trashed his E4GT by dunking it in a river. Then dropped it at work cracking the screen. Gave him my old one. Had a hell of a time getting it programmed to his line, but I got it. eventually had to flash the One-Click Stock (JB) odin to fix an issue where he could not connect to WiFi. After that, flashed Dirty Unicorn, and all was good. Or so we thought (we were in range of an Airave). Seemed he no longer had any reception off of the Airave. After much searching it seemed possibly due to the fact that the phone refused to leave WCDMA mode. Long story short, I fixed the issue by starting back on Stock Rooted (JB), getting fresh PRL and Profile after wiping EVERYTHING i could find, and then flashed back to DU. He was totally fine for two weeks. Now all of a sudden he again has no signal off of the Airave. He is in a bad reception area, but when it is working properly he gets enough to call, text, browse a bit, etc. But when it is acting up like this, he cant do anything at all off of Wifi and/or Airave.
TL;DR
Going from stock rooted JB to JB Dirty Unicorn, would that cause modem issues (being that the stock rooted most likely has a JB modem, and you arent supposed to use JB modems on JB Dirty Unicorn)?

ICS modem for DU..pretty much all aosp ROMs ( ICS to jb )..the latest ICS modem is FL24. Flash that modem or another ICS modem on the phone. Then do the temp boot to upgrade prl and profile.. If you're on stock again you can flash the modem and update the prl and profile.. Then flash DU.. Making the move to DU shouldn't have messed up the modem..if you did the above..

No I hadn't flashed an ICS modem. Everything you said the first time was correct. I went straight from JB Stock to DU. Spaced out on the modem because I was in a rush to get everything working. And when it actually did work fine for 2 weeks and now stopped, it threw me off.
I am going to see if tomorrow I can walk him thru the One-click to install FL24

Just ran thru installing the ICS modem. No change. Cant update the PRL or Profile on DU of course, though. Updating the PRL and/or Profile necessary for any change to take effect?
Also JFYI, yes I know what it will take to update them, just wondering if having not done that yet is what would be causing there to still be a lack of signal

Sprint. He has gotten signal where he is before in DU (and that was with a JB modem, no less) for two weeks. It was low signal, but it was signal no less. Our only option is to get the phone working normal, a repeater will not do as he has no signal at his house, at his job, or anywhere within approx 60 miles of where he lives. Normally he has low signal, but atm he has zero. I am currently waiting for his download of a Stock Rooted rom to finish so we can flash that (which I know for sure will give him signal) then flash the ICS radio, update PRL and Profile, and then try DU again. If that does not work I will just have to have him stick to the Stock Rooted JB rom, since we know he gets signal on that.

Sprint. He has gotten signal where he is before in DU (and that was with a JB modem, no less) for two weeks. It was low signal, but it was signal no less.
