4g won't turn on? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using a custom Rom that is has working 4g but when I try and turn it on it won't. It just tries to turn on for a minute or to then it never turns on? Is something wrong with my Wimax settings?

Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik-cache in recovery and fixing permissions?
You haven't wiped your wimax keys, have you?? Hope not

I have no idea if I wiped the Wimax key. How would I know? Is there a way to check?

I thought you could just nand it, but maybe you have to use abd to push it to the system but honestly idk.

What do you mean? The nand restores, but not the wimax? Or it fails to restore anything.
What recovery are you using? Did you remember to select wimax when backing up?

the Nand restores but the wimax didn't. I check to make sure there was a wimax file in the back up and there is. I did check the wimax option when restoring. I am currently using Smelkus mod recovery. when i made the nand i was on the older Amon RA 2.3. I am trying everything i am finding on other threads and still nothing.

What would it hurt to install the Amon Ra recovery, nand restore to see if wimax is restored?

Well things seem to not be working for me. Eitherbthe wimax file is corrupted or I am just not doing something correctly. Thanks everyone for the help. Good thing my upgrade is coming up soon.

Once you restored the keys, have you tried using it on a different rom apart from Nitrous? Certainly does blow if you lost them.

Holla back and letme know...
also where can i find the latest radio zip.

Yes, of course you should update your radio. Especially because it can help with speed issues. Update with the zips on this thread
You flash any of them through your recovery, but I wouldn't update your HBoot which is why it's not in the combo.
It wont let me download radio 215. Why is that. From Cal's site

I may stand corrected here, but in order to get the full benefit of the new radios you should update your profile and prl. Yeah, it probably isn't needed necessarily considering the pain if your on an AOSP rom, but a good idea because with the profile update it helps the network recognize that you have the update.

4g connect faster and have better reception????

I just got a replacement epic cuz my old one broke but I used to have these "tweaks" (I guess) that made my 4g connect to lower signals and the same for 3g and another one that made 4g connect quicker
But now I can't find these threads

My 4G is fixed. Had corrupted data somewhere. An Odin to anything got it working, a nand advance data restore killed it. Restored everything without data in Titanium. It is still working now.
I can't imagine anything in the titanium backup that would corrupt the modem or kernel?

No Titanium did not but I had some bad system data somewhere, perhaps in the WiMax apps. So I used Titanium instead of Nand to restore apps only and then data to the few apps I had to have restored like memo and cardstar. All is well now. Only 4G was affected by this corruption that I got on a journaled ROM. Flashed the journal on script to be doubly sure this time.

How to?

I searched around a bit and couldn't find much about rooting the evo? I'm on samsung epic and its a lot different from what I see. I do know that it had gotten the bootloader locked right? Well my sisters phone is on 4.54.651.1 I don't know if I can root it?

you can flash ANY rom made for the htc evo4g no restrictions . Some themes only work with specific roms. If your looking for a good rom that has ALOT of themes and mods check out TommyTomatoes classic rom and then MikG

You flash themes that are made for the exact rom you have installed. For example, flash a MikG theme for a MikG rom. Also make sure that the theme is for rom version you have installed. ROM could be updated and an older theme may not work for that version.

The very first thread in this forum answers ALL of these questions. There is a reason stickies exist.

no more 4g

I rooted my tmobile S3 today and it worked fine. Later I installed a cyanogen nightly sang noticed it was only getting 3g, so I did a restore to the stock rooted firmware through ROM manger. With that I got just bars, no indication of 4g or 3g. The phone wouldnt go to the internet, it said no connection available. I had to restore back to cyangen to get the phone just to work... but regardless of which settings I chose the phone is stuck in 3g. What is the fix? I'm going crazy here

3G on cm is the same as 4G on tmo stock rom.
Try checking your apn settings on the stock rom since I think your imei is fine, without it you wouldn't have gotten 3G at all, even on cm.

Wait, are you just looking at the icon without it doing anything. Many aftermarket ROMs will show 3G when the phone is doing nothing. It will show 4G or H when you make it work.
