Okay so let me explain my dilemma. I have a flashed evo 4g with a custom recovery and custom rom.
Since I don't have windows XP for the correct drivers or a boost phone to use so I called this store that does it.
They said they can do it on a custom rom but things like MMS wont work and I'll never have 4g. Which I know the 4g doesn't work on most custom roms thats okay.
He said it would have MMS if I just put my phone back to stock. But I wont be able to flash a custom ROM again because it will erase their patch and I wont have boost anymore because it will erase the phone.
Why is that? If I do it myself is MMS available? And if I do it myself would I erase the boost switch when changing roms? I don't see how it could if your just switching the routing address per say to the phones.
All you have to do is change the APN settings to boosts gateway for MMS to work, needs to be done for every rom flash. The calls, SMS and data settings will stick between flashes. The wipes required to flash a rom don't affect the partition those settings reside in

We are legion, for we are many!
how do I change the APN setting? And should I switch back to stock before I have them change it?

Now i know theres hundreds of threads about 3G problems and im hoping this one doesnt get over looked . I recently in stalled two custom roms on my evo ( cyanogen 7.0.0 , and miui 1.1.25 ) wiped chaches factory resets etc. on first installations but for some reason my 3G is not being recognized or even showing up when i am using the custom roms. The only way i can use 3G is when i restore my phone back to my stock rom..... can anyone help me fixing the issue ....please. if i can get my 3G up and working while im running my custom roms it will make everything so much easier, instead of having to restore my stock rom when ever i want to do anything on my phone outside a wireless network
oh and kernals etc. are stocks that came with the roms.no customization has been done to the roms themselves.
has nothing to do with the kernels
you have to get msl reader and set your 3g up i think there is a thread in the developer section on it...let me see if i can find it
OK HERE IS THE FIX,
PHONE MUST BE ROOTED
PHONE MUST HAVE SENSE ROM ON IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM
download msl reader from market,
open msl reader,
write down msl code
open dialer
dial ##3282#
when asked for code or password enter the msl code you wrote down
select edit mode
select EVDO
select preferred mode,
set to automatic.
save exit reboot,
load rom of choice
and VIOLA YOU HAVE 3G
CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK
Well for CM7, are you sure you data is enabled? Sometimes tis off when you boot the rom. You can check in mobile data under wifi settings.
while that is true roxxors, since the OP stated two different roms giving him trouble and not having trouble with original load, the problem lies in how the roms read 3g...we all know that sprint roms LIE about 3g...and cyanogen actually reads actual signal...however until that EVDO change is done his phone will never get 3g on any of the cyanogen or miui or even aosp roms....

Try dialing ##3282# (you will need your SPC/ MSL code, which is unique to your phone)... OTHERS ... MMSC URL ... change the Sprint server listed in there to http://mm.myboostmobile.com
that would work but when i try that my setting will force close

I ODIN-flashed two versions of ICS (FC18 and FC24 - full wipe with restore to stock) and both times my 3G did not work. I could see the 3G icon and the green arrow sending, but the orange arrow never lit up, as if there was something wrong with the way I set up the DATA profiles. After going back to EL29 and restoring the DATA profiles one more time (using the exact same steps I used after installing ICS), my phone is running properly again.
To answer your question, I entered ##3282# and I was able to put the Boost server and saved the setting without any force close.
I also didn't like the fact that scrolling wasn't smooth in ICS as in 2.3.6...
When you updated your phone to ICS, did you do a full wipe to stock or did you keep your existing DATA profiles and settings ?

If you flash your phone from 2.3.6 to stock 4.0 (full factory restore through ODIN, not through CWM) you will lose your Boost Mobile DATA profiles ... in other words, you would have to re-flash to Boost all over again... I can't confirm this will happen to you as well, but this was the second time I tried ICS and I had identical results.
NOTE: if you'll do a factory restore through ODIN from EK02 to/from EL29 or to any other 2.3.6 ROM version, then your DATA profiles won't get erased. It seems that it only happens when you upgrade to ICS 4.0
To make matters worse, 3G didn't work in ICS... after re-flashing the phone to Boost with all the DATA profiles the icon appeared, but the DOWNLOAD arrow never lit-up. The internet just didn't work... I didn't spend too much time trying to figure out what was broken, so I just put back EL29, re-flashed to Boost one more time and the phone returned to normal.
I will probably spend more time with ICS when Sprint comes out with the official release. If the net is still broken at that point, then I'll put the time to find a solution...but until then ...
I have had this problem before, with no clear resolution, but I think I have narrowed down the circumstances.
When I am running stock or stock rooted, I have full sms capability. When I flash a ROM, I lose it. I have had full capability on it with custom ROM's but not anymore. Sprint told me it's probably a network thing, update prl, profile etc.. That doesn't work.
I always use Calkulin's format all tool and I always stick with Gingerbread ROM's.
I do no use GVoice, at all and I refuse to. The one time I tried, and it allowed me to receive texts but phone calls wouldn't work.
I found this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284092 --- but it gives me FC's and I think I even lost root with it. It didn't solve my problem so I flashed after 5 minutes with in.
Any suggestions?
Personally what I would do is one click Odin back to stock el29. Odin a modem of your choice with clear phone efs checked, and allow it to reactivate with Sprint. Then try a ROM again after updating profile. Do it at your own risk of course. Clear phone efs wipes your nvram. NVRAM contains lots of low-level settings for your phone, including your Sprint phone #, Sprint data login, etc. It reactivated fine for me but SFhub said that it didn't work for someone else. Good luck.

See if you can get into recovery, if you can then reflash the rom and see if that helps
I am having issues with data installing ics roms after flashing to page plus. I wnat to try to install ics before flashing to see if that fixes the data issue. Does anyone know how to get the evo to connect to cdma workshop and qpst to change carrier settings while on a ics rom? (since you can't put the phone in diag mode)
Not possible. What a so hard about flashing a sense rom....?

Its easy to flash the phone on a sense from. My issue is after I flash the phone I get 3g data but when I install a different rom I only get 1x
I have a friend that updated his T999 to Android 4.3, after that some problems with wi-fi have appeared. The phone automatically connects and disconnects to the routers, and he has missed several things for that. I am a newbie and no developer but I have flashed many custom roms in some devices and I tend to favor CM and Slim Roms. My question is, if I flash a custom rom in the phone, will the wi-fi problems be gone? He doesn't want to try custom roms because he will lose all of his apps although I told him that he doesn't have to worry. Also, I know this is a stupid question but if I flash a custom rom, will he lose his network connectivity/ability to make calls? Most of the roms I have flashed have been in tablets and cdma phones but this is my first one and his phone isn't locked to T-mobile, he uses a different network because his T999 is unlocked. Sorry for my bad english
He won't lose network connectivity, but first make sure that auto network switch is deselected in WiFi settings and see if that fixes the problem

You could back up the apps to ext SD card. Then do a factory reset. Sometimes settings get messed with and A factory reset will put the settings back to stock. But if that don't work you will have to do a reset anyways to flash a custom rom. A custom rom could help... You shouldn't have any connect ability issues with a flashed rom I have used pac man, CM, beanstalk, custom stockers and always had wifi data and network. If you do your homework on the rom you want to use in the forum here you will know what will and will not work. And can see what people are having issues with and what they do to fix each problem.
