This morning i made the mistake of checking for a PRL update out of Swags-Stock RC1 Rom. I was planning on switching to CM7 and wanted to check the radios just to be sure they were the latest *DUMB*. During the update check i got a force close error. I did not write down what crashed but ever since this force close, i can no longer access the 3g data on any of my nandroid backups. I've restored my stock nandroid and tried to update PRL info out of there and i also tried to push on the latest radio updates. Everything seems to go ok but still no data.... Any thoughts? The 3g symbol is displayed, wi-fi works and i can make phone calls still.
Fixed: I had to try several times, but eventually fixed the issue by one again nandroiding my stock rom backup, rebooting, updating PRL firmware through the stock rom. Back to normal after that
What if you didn't make a stock rom nan? How do you fix?

Go to the dev section, and there are a few threads of just stock rooted roms. Download the firmware to match your bootloader.
Hello so I install V6 Supercharge( needs busybox 1.18.2) script and it was awesome. But I notice that my wifi want not working even though it had all 3 signal bars. So I uninstall V6 supercharged and busybox app. However it still didn't solve the problem.
So I decided to clean my entire system so I installed a brand new version of Juggernaut 4.1 but the problem still doesn't go way
For example, I'm using wifi and it had the 3 signal bars. Then it just dies but the wifi signal stay there its unchanged. The only way to fix is to turn wifi off then turn it back.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF???
THANK YOU

After upgrading from gingerbread on my phone, GPS doesn't work at all. I didn't know at the time that I had to leave the GPS locked in GB before the flash to get it to work. My question is, since flashing back to the "StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5" makes the phone not boot, I can't just go back into GB, get lock, then go out. Does anyone know what I else I can flash to get a bootable phone that I can get GPS lock on?
By the way, I had family here this weekend and two of them also have E4GT, so I did an experiment. I upgraded those two phones to ICS with GPS locked ahead of time, and both worked fine. However, there's definitely a difference in these phones that were purchased at the same time. One of them got lock within 10 second when I sat inside at the kitchen table. The other one could never lock here. Both locked outside though.I repeated this experiment several times, and it was consistent.
The safe thing would be to Odin back to EL29 and start over. I'm using stock FE22 and there is no problems with anything.
Most ROMs require you to ODIN back to Stock-Rooted-EL29 -> Get the GPS lock -> ODIN to Stock-CWM-EL26 -> Hold the volume up key while booting to get into CWM -> Clear data, wipe cache & Dalvik -> Flash your ICS ROM of choice (and Google Apps, for Maps) -> Go into Maps and see if you get a lock.
Make sure you flash back to Stock-Rooted-EL29. This is essential because it restores all of the stock settings before modification.

So it isn't necessary to ODIN to el26+CWM if I ODIN el29+CWM?
Ok get back to a GB rom either by sfhub odin or odin el26 kernel and restore an old GB rom get a lock and leave gps on then restore or install an ICS rom...
Had same problem with cm9. Downloaded agps from market, cleared GPS from the tools menu, let it run until it got a bunch of locks, then uninstalled it and my GPS has been spot on ever since

Can I use the method in the link below to get a GPS lock, then revert back to my running ROM (AOKP)?

So my GPS on T999 is no longer owrking. I have tried re-installing the current ROM. Installing other ROMs, everything, but I just can't get the phone to lock onto a SAT! It is really frustrating now as I need it really bad about a week ago and couldn't get out of the downtown lol.
CUrrently I am on the Aeon Fluxx ROM but the GPS did NOT work on the FROSTY, BLACK JELLY, AOKP, CM Nightlies, or ANY other ROMs anymore.
I have used GPS Status to reset A-GPS and then re-download the A-GPS data to no avail.
Any suggestions folks?
I believe there is already a thread about precisely this. Was posted maybe a week ago.
Also there's this one

Thanks a lot guys. I love the quick help from this community. When I get off work tonight, hopefully I can get it to work properly!
Before I backed up my stock rom and flashed my current one (PACman) I updated my profile just to make sure that I was good to go for a while.
Does the profile updates/PRL updates done in stock stay once you wipe everything and flash a new rom? I'm wondering because I don't get quite the signal strength that I did in PACman that I did on stock and I have no way of updating my profile inside of PACman. But, if profile updates don't stick after a wipe, what good does it do to go back & forth?
I really wish a dev would come out with an apk for each major carrier to update profiles.
Yes it does stay. When changing modems you should update again though.

So, just restore back to my stock backup with my current modem and update...then, restore back to my PACman rom backup?

Correct. And it would stick through the flash

Can't Update Profile
I just recently installed a JB 4.2.2 ROM from rootbox and have been unable to get my profile to update, so in turn have been unable to connect to 3G. When I got to About Phone -> Sprint System Updates the update profile option dials *22805 which never activates my phone. It just dials the Sprint customer support number.

Well, I just flashed my recovery and it won't boot past the S2 logo now. Did I miss something?
Okay, more questions!
I tried restoring my nandroid I made after rooting/kernel/ICS modem and it appears to restore correctly in CWM and then it won't get past the S2 splash screen. I did it first without wiping/factory reset and it was a no go, and then I was duh...and wiped/factory reset then restored the stock nandroid...still no go.
What am I doing wrong? In the meantime, I just restored a PACman nandroid and that went just fine and I can use my phone again.
I've been trying to find the answer myself, but the only thing I've found is that the stock recovery has to be restored on the same version of CWM it was created on. How do I do this since CWM updated itself to v6?

You flashed the EL26+CWM kernel to make the original nandroid correct? then just flash that kernel (with PC or mobile odin, doesn't matter) and then restore the nandroid.
BUT, you can skip this if you want to stay on PACman. @bilgerryan has an app somewhere in the forum that attempts to add the sprint update functionality back in to AOSP. Almost everything is broken (including PRL write and Update PRL OTA), but Profile update works without a hitch.
ALSO, take a look at the gps link in my sig. I have a link in my OP there for how to set up multiboot on the Epic Touch. That way you can multiboot into EL29 to do things like GPS lock, PRL update, Profile update, dialer codes, etc.

Okay. Yeah, i want to stay on PACman but only need to update my profile to help my signal. Okay, I will try to find that app. My PRL is up-to-date so yeah...all I need to do is update my profile, but I'm with Virgin mobile. However, I did flash the FL24 modem (sprint). This will update my profile with VM?
I decided to just try your first fix where I reflash the EL26+CWM5 kernel and flash stock nandroid. After I'm done updating things and want to go back to PACman...I simply reflash the PACman zip (to get back my PACman specific kernel) and once restore flash a backup to get all my apps & things back, right?

Well, that didn't work for me. :/ I reflashed the EL26+CWM5 kernel in mobile odin and then restored the stock nandroid. This gave me the S2 splash screen and just sat there. So, I guess I have to find that app you spoke of.
Okay, I found it, and followed all of the instructions to the "T" and when I click on Sprint System Updates, it simply makes a phone call to Sprint with a voice menu. :/
Update: Okay, I see it is also in the app drawer, but the only thing that currently works is the MSL retrieval.
Sigh...
Download the kernel or the rom and just flash over your restore. Your eecovery is bundled with a gingerbread kernel. So the backup you made is trying to run a gingerbread kernel. Wont work. If you flash the rom over your nandroid it will boot. You will have all system setting restored though. It sucks. But it worka.

I'm feeling a bit dumb now...
I don't quite understand the first part of what you are saying. I do understand that my nandroid cannot run without the GB kernel I made it with. So, I did reflash the GB kernal with mobile odin and then went into CWM and restored the nandroid...still didn't work.
Am I misunderstanding?
Yes. After restoring the nandroid flash whatever rom you were on again. Do not wipe. So I believe you are restoring pacman. After your restore pacman. Use the same recovery, and flash the same pacman rom again. Basically you just need the pacman kernel. Not sure if there is a aseperate kernel somewhere. But flashing the rom over top without wiping anything will restore the kernel back to what its supposed to be.

Oh. Hmmm. But I made the stock nandroid with the EL26 kernel. I don't need that one in order to successfully recover my stock nandroid?
I think we are talking about two different things. I am NOT able to restore my stock nandroid. It gets stuck at the S2 splash screen.
Okay, new approach...
Recommended TouchWiz based ROM that I can update PRL in?
