Receiving SMS/MMS Issues.... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of a sudden, across different ROMS and even in stock/rooted, even with Google voice, my phone isn't receiving any texts. No notifications, nothing. I can see them if I open G-Voice in the inbox, but not if I open Messaging or Go SMS, but this started before I even installed G-Voice. Before that, nothing.
It started yesterday. Anyone else having this problem?? Is Sprint having issues or something?

Haven't had any of those problems and I'm in sprint too

I just reflashed my radios and now I'm nandroiding back to stock/rooted to update Profile and PRL....
Hope that does it
EDIT
Looks like reflashing the radios worked. AS soon as I got booted into stock, a ton of messages started coming in

ok, so how does one go about reflashing the radios? did you do that and follow through with the nandroiding back to stock like you said?
I'm sorry. I have an HTC Evo 4g, rooted, originally had CM7 on it when the sms issue happened. took it to my friend and he put CM9 on it to see if going to a newer ROM would help. it didn't. he stated that I would probably have to go back to stock, reinstall sms from there (?) and then go back to a rom if I wanted.
I have been googling the issue and found this: forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?p=34337380#post34337380 which had directions to unroot and go back to Froyo, then reroot and reinstall the CM7 ROM. If I don't have to go through all that I would love not to, and this thread is much newer than that one.
also: I don't think I have a copy of my original HTC Sense or whatever base setup. not sure if the guy who rooted my phone for me saved one... also, don't think I have a copy of the CM7 I had installed. I do however have a .exe of the CM9 I currently have. Honestly, I like some of the settings on CM7 more than the CM9 I have, but oh well, I guess.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I have had this issue not receiving text messages randomly since about November 9th. I am on a Sprint Evo but it is flashed to Cricket.
Thank you for the help! I am learning a lot as I have been looking all this up, but more info would definitely help.
-Amber.
EDIT: Ok, updated the Radios with CM-EVO_Radio-2.15.00.12.19_PRI-2.33_WiMax_NV.zip. I did not nandroid into the stock rom though because I don't think I have it saved. I've found a few apparently-stock roms on xda but I read something else that said what looks like stock could just be another rom and not have all of the original settings refreshed. I am pretty sure that when I had CM9 put on my phone to try to fix the sms issue they did a clean wipe before they installed it, but I could be wrong.
I still have not received any of my still-missing texts. =( I can still send which makes me think it isn't necessarily that I'm flashed to cricket... any other help would be most welcome. thanks.

[Q] Help! No LED Lights / Phone not working with CM6 RC2

Hello,
I just recently flashed the lated CM6 RC2. I cannot receive incoming calls now, It will ring once or twice then go straight to my voicemail. I also have no LED notifications any longer.
The kernel version I have is 2.6.32.15-cyanogenmod
I tried flashing the evo radio to see if that would fix it but no go.
Any ideas? Flash a new kernel? Start over completey?
Thanks guys!
I would try starting over make sure you wipe everything and then reflash. Also if yuo use titanium back up ... yuo have to watch out on a few things since ther phone app etc are diffrent in asop i believe.
As an additional note. All Questions liek this should go in the Q&A forum.
Ahh, I did use titanium back up.. I wonder if I restored the wrong data?
I forgot to mention the text messages/email works just fine.
Sorry for posting in the wrong area (frantic for a minute over here)
So you think I should just start over and not use titanium restore, is there a certain batch I shouldn't restore that could of caused this?
Thanks!
I would wipe/reflash and see if it works before doing the restore. are you coming from a 2.1 rom? if so when you doa batch restore look for anything 2.1 (such as googletalk_update 2.1, checkinservice 2.1 etc etc etc. I would also uncheck camera, phone, and contacts.)
Once you verify it works pre restore then you can either restore removing the above and see if it continues to work if so then yay problem solved if not then you are still restoring something to mess it up.
CM6 is not a sense based rom so when you back up on a sense based rom you often get the sense versions of things that CM6 has the aosp version for which can cause issues when you restore if not careful.
I was coming from RC1, obviously 2.2. I will give that a shot.

Personally, when I flash a new froyo rom, I just let the market place download all my apps. And I use Titanium to restore specific apps that I want data for. Like Messaging, and my call history, and some games. Stuff like that. But I only full restore apps that I don't get from the market place, like swype, and wifi tether if I want it.

Text Messages/SMS/MMS not working!!!

Hello All!
I have no clue what I did but I'm not receiving text messages any longer. I THINK it might be related to deleting two handcent files in my SD root this morning, since I had deleted the program. Things I've tried to do:
- nandroid back to a previous save, nothing.
- Flash two different ROM's, nothing.
- DL Handcent again, nothing.
HELP!?!?
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Maybe call sprint CS? Dont tell them you're rooted obviously, but just have them check the network.
Try updating profiles?
Sent from my CM7 Powered device
Not yet, thnx, will try that next.
I just nandroid back to an old Sense ROM, if that doesn't help will try your suggestion.
Ok, well, it looks like nandroiding back to an old Sense ROM fixed the problem for me, it now seems to work.
So my question now is WHAT THE HECK HAPPEN?

[Q] wipe data/factory reset ? Complete Noob Here.

I have looked around and am still not sure which way would be best to un-root my Evo 4g. Can I just use ( wipe data/factory reset ) then update my contacts thru asurion ? and reload the apps i want from the market ? right now i am in ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.05 ( it was originally rooted with unrevoked ) not unrevoked forever. I thought i would like to try the latest official build for a while. ( not looking forward to the sprint bloatware ) or would the easiest thing be to try and update to the latest ClockworkMod or some other build. Thanks for any info you might have.
Best way to unroot is to grab the unrevoked s-on tool. Flash that and run a ruu or grab a stock non rooted rom.

so i guess wipe data is really no good ?

Not really sure what you are asking here. A factory reset will NOT unroot you, it will just reset whatever rom you are on. And updating contacts through Asurion? Asurion is your insurance provider, they have nothing to do with contacts....
I thought i would like to try the latest official build for a while.

You don't have to unroot to do this, just flash a rooted stock rom. This way you stay rooted. If you unroot, and then update to the latest stock rom, it will be VERY difficult to re-root.
or would the easiest thing be to try and update to the latest ClockworkMod or some other build.
Click to expand...

I think you need to read a LOT more about rooting before you proceed to do any more, you don't really seem to know what's going on. ClockworkMod is your recovery, which has nothing to do with your rom. Updating Clockwork will not update your rom, or unroot you.
LOL I guess you are right. A LOT more reading in my future.. Thanks though.
I guess I will go ahead with the idea to update to the newest rom. I thought because ClockworkMod gave me the option to " wipe data/factory reset. " it would set it to factory default, which I thought might be un-rooted.
Side note: Asurion also syncs my phone contacts. I had to use it once when my phone was lost. to update / sync the new phone. It worked very well. Google sync stopped working long ago. I get an error message every time.
But thanks again. that post was very helpful to point me in the right direction. and make me feel a little foolish LOL BE WELL

did you try setting up a new gmail account? or maybe jsut delete it on your phone and re-set it up.
not yet. but i will soon. ill let you know how it goes. I've read that it works for some and not for others. haven't found a lot of info directly from Google though. it seems they don't acknowledge the issue. but I am sure i'm not the only one experiencing the error message.
If you really like the new sprint os but hate the bloatware, why not use a rooted sprint rom that one of the devs has made, kind of exactly what sprint/htc gives you but minus the bloat!
Thanks I will. i'm very new to this, how do i go about getting the correct one ? as you can see from above. I have Alot more reading to do.
just did a search on the rom you are running. How do you like that one.
The Rom I am running is great! Just can't post the link to it in this forum due to forum rules. But the Rom I am running is similar to a stock rom, just not a stock rom of an evo 4g. It's ics os which stands for (ice cream sandwich) the new HTC os. Its the stock upgrade for most of their new phones such as the Samsung Galaxy SII. Evo 4g was left out, but due to the devs on this site and others the evo 4g will be just fine!
Edit: Well there is alot of reading and research involved. But for me the best kind of research is trial and error. I read up on certain roms that interest me that have key perks. Such as ICS (newer roms), or wimax enabled (4g enabled and typically on the older roms). Then I read up on peoples response to the roms, what issues they have had, how they have fixed them, how the developer has fixed them. And then after that I'll flash the roms and see how they run. Usually a day or two of use can tell you if you like it or not. Its like a car test drive!
That's Great. I will look around a little more. and get a new rom, I'll probably try the one you mentioned, ( found the link ) Hey, I really appreciate the info, I just need the time to screw around a little more. LOL. Be Well. I'll let ya know how it goes. It is pretty interesting.
Yes on the site you are currently on, there should be a few helpful tips on how to flash the roms and kernels properly. Good luck, also a bunch of great tips on the CM7 Wiki

[HELP] No connection to cellular network

Okay, so today I downloaded the Cm 10 stable build. I flashed it, and when my phone came back on, no signal. It connects to Wifi as well as bluetooth, but no Sprint. I went back to recovery, wiped again, re installed and also installed the gapps. Still no success. So I figured it could have been the modem. I felt like going to lj7 anyways so I just flashed LJ7 from samfirmware through odin. Still having problems. I'm a fairly smart guy, I've had about 12 android phones ever since the G1. Every single one rooted, im a flashaholic. Could anybody help? Do I call sprint? I have TEP.
If you have tried everything else like, updating prl, flashing another rom or restoring a nandroid and you still have no signal you can give this a go. I've seen this happen to a couple of people while trying to update their PRL.
Go to Qbking's website at www.qbking77.com and find the section for UNROOT/UNBRICK. Click that and find the section for the SGS3 and follow his instructions.
Their might be an easier way, but like I said I've seen it work for several people. Billard412 might have an easier way also, he's been very helpful to quite a few people around here. Good luck and hope you get back up and running.
I had a similar issue while flashing ROMs, no data regardless of what backup/new ROMs I flashed.
What I did was flash a ROM based on TouchWiz (Stock, I used the FreeGS3 ROM) and ran the following dialer code: ##72786#
This will reactivate your device on Sprint's network and should kick the network in the butt to get your data working again. It won't wipe any data on your device.

[q] help with nandroid issues

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot or if I broke some forum rule, I have never posted here but I have read a ton, thanks for all the help you guys have posted by the way.
First off I am not by any means an expert on computers and rooting but I have a decent understanding of the basics and can easily follow online instructions to root. I obviously have a d2att, I recently rooted it. I was happy with it unrooted for nearly a year but when samsung released the 4.3 update my phone really started sucking. Eventually I decided to root just to get a rom that functions better. I have been running gummy rom kit kat, I think its the nightly from march 10th, I have had no real issues other than some random reboots here and there. My mom begged me to root her d2att because she also was tired of the buggy samsung 4.3 update. I eventually rooted hers, even though I really didn't want to, knowing that I would get calls about every little issue and I would have to run and fix it... anyway
She has had issues that I have not had, she says that her phone randomly turns to silent periodically and causes her to miss calls, and she also says her bluetooth is intermittent. I don't use blue tooth at all so I wouldn't know but I have not had an issue with randomly going to silent. I have tried a lot of custom roms over the past 2 months since I rooted, including CM11, CM10 (all of them), AOKP, slimroms, of course Gummy, and a variety of others. All of them have had some major bug that is unbearable, from not connecting to wifi or not sending and receiving MMS, except for gummy which I have only had the random reboots.
Okay, so when I rooted mine originally I made a nandroid copy of the original rom after I rooted it, I didn't realize but somehow this nandroid file created to my internal memory instead of my sd card, so when I loaded a custom rom it was deleted. Like I said I'm far from an expert and that was a huge mistake. So anyway when I rooted my moms (same phone) I made a nandroid of her stock rom after the root and saved it to my computer, tablet, flash drive, external hd... etc.
Now that she is having problems with the absolute best ROM that I have found functionality wise, I thought I would restore her stock rom and debloat it, try my best to get it running better. I used her nandroid back up and restored my phone to it, only to get a ton of errors, everything was force closing. I kept getting the popups that "unfortunately ... has stopped" they were nonstop. Literally all I could do was hit ok and try to do the same with the next window, finally I get rid of those and the phone wouldn't run any apps or make any calls etc. So I rebooted to recovery and went restored my nandroid that I made earlier that day and all is fine with my phone again.
So here is my questions. First off when I made the nandroid of her stock rom I renamed the file STOCKROM, that way I would def know what it is and to not delete it. Will renaming a nandroid file make it not work correctly?
Also would a nandroid back up of her phone simply not work correctly on mine? I thought it would but it def does not. Maybe there is saved data that doesn't match my sim card.. I have no clue.
If I used this nandroid on her phone do you think it will work corretly?
If I messed up the file be renaming it, does anyone have a backup for stock that I can possibly use?
Last but not least, any recommendations for custom roms for d2att? I really just want speed, and no bugs
I am really sorry about the excessively long post, but I wanted to fill in the background info before I asked my questions, in case it was needed. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Again please forgive me if I broke a forum rule or posted in the wrong spot, I don't typically post on any forums ever, I just tend to read the posts of others. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL HELP, GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you decide to go back to stock 4.3, this thread should help. AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore
I've never had to use a nandroid and definitely have not tried one on a phone different from where it was made, but from reading in the past I don't believe that renaming it is causing the problem. I believe it is probably due to either trying it on a different phone or the file structure may have been changed when you moved it to the pc. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in regarding the nandroid on your phone. If it is still on her phone I think it may work.
thanks

Thanks for the tips. I know its still on her phone and the name hasnt been altered. I wanted ti try a debloated touch wiz for her. I havr liked Gummy but loaded a carbon jelly beam tonight. So far so good. Any suggestions for custom ROMs for attd2? I have had a time finding one bthats useful. I'm glad I have my gummy on nandroid. When I finish screwing around for her that's where I'll head back to I'm sure. Unless I find a sweet bug free ROM through a reccomendation. I'll check the link in the AM thanks for the reply.

You MUST have the UCUEMJB or UCUEMJ2 bootloader and the UCUEMJB modem installed before proceeding or this ROM will not work properly. Your data and wifi may be broken if you do not do this first. These are available here: Bootloader and Modem Options
