Hey all, finally having some trouble with my Dinc2 that lurking couldnt solve (or I'm still not lurking hard enough). So I am currently running Aerovan's CM10, and decided to start flashing some radios. I installed the latest radio .0320 (and also the AGPS patch, but dont know if thats relevant). Was working great for a while(4-5 days), but yesterday I ran the phone's battery all the way down. When I tried restarting it, it got stuck in a boot loop. I dropped down to .0312 radio to see if it would make any difference, but still no dice, so I did a nandroid restore. This let me back into my phone but now I have no service. I checked the APN settings and had to fix them for VZW, but even after that I still have no service. I downgraded the radio to .1111, wiped cache, and set my APN settings manually, but still no service. I'm at a loss. any help would be awesome.
I had this problem, but eventually I found a radio that worked. You may need to install the stock 2.3.3 RUU, reroot, and go back to your ROM of choice. I had to do that a few times when I started messing around with radios.
You need the radios that I need. I posted a thread asking anyone if them have them. If someone comes up with them I'll let you have them. You need either 1.09.01.0722 or 1.09.01.0622. I'm not sure they will work better but I want to try them anyway. I've tried the ones you have and I get between -105 to -120 dBm with the occasional -104 and -125. It Terrible!
Something simple to check - the antenna is built into the battery cover. No cover connection, no signal.

I did the OTA root of my phone earlier this week and applied the Fresh ROM and the WiMax Radio Update. After that my WiMax stopped working. I get "Connected to Sprint" , "Disconnected" , back to Scanning. I did notice that my WiMax MAC was not correct and followed the steps using the adb commands to correct it. This still did not solve the WiMax connection issues.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying to "unroot" the phone and go back to stock. The RUU methods weren't working because of bootloader version issues. I finally found some advice here to to use Toasts Step 2 Method to downgrade the bootloader. This worked and I was able to then apply the Stock ROM using the RUU File RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
After getting back to stock I allowed all the OTA updates to apply. I'm still having the same WiMax 4G issue. The WiMax radio turns on, goes to scanning, connecting, disconnected, scanning.
I called Sprint last night and they had me do a ##786# reset with my MSL code, PRL Update, Profile Updates, etc. They also tried having CC remove the 4G services and re-provision. I'm still stuck with out the ability to connect to WiMax.
Before I return the phone ... anyone else have any suggestions I should try?
Appreciate the help.

I am having the same exact problem, i was told its something deeper than just the MAC address problem, i would just get a warranty replacement or exchange your phone since youre within the 30 days.
I just installed Netarchy's Stock 2.2 with Root, then applied the radio updates he listed, doing WiMax last. My 4G just says "scanning" when I turn it on, and never actually connects. I am hoping the tower near me is just down at the moment, but I am doubtful.
After I check in a couple of areas if 4G is still not working, I will try reseting the phone and root it again, running the 2.2 w/root, without installing radio updates.
Other then my WiMax getting flushed, Froyo ROCKS. Battery is lasting much longer, better features, etc.
I updated my radios with:
Radio update: 2.15.00.07.28
and
Wimax Update 26023
This is all you have to do:

Only thing that worked for me, do this step, then install the ROM you had before. Like I said, only thing that works!

I tried this ... started over all the way back to original RUU. Still no 4G. I took my phone to the Sprint Store today, left it for a tech to look at.
has anyone else heard of certificate issues that are used in WiMax authentication? I wonder if those certs were damaged by the radio updates. You'd think going back to stock RUU would repair that.
Maybe the stock RUU doesn't actually update the radio device?
If you have the latest radio and 4g is not working you need to flash the Rom again, just the Rom as the radio is already update.
Ps: remember do a titanium and or nandroid back up b4 flashing, good luck.

Flashed the ROM multiple times, still no luck.
ok have you tried a different rom? Just flash a different rom and test the wifi to see if you have the same issue. If it works then you know your issue was with the rom...

In my case flashing back to 2.1 stock, 4G worked again, no problem. But I want the 2.2... The thread for Netarchy's 2.2 stock rom with root has a few people having the same issue, but for most people it looks like the rom is working without WiMax issues.

Your 4g certificate keys got messed up. There is no known solution other than a replacement. I've been to Sprint, I've been online with HTC. There is no solution. Doesn't feel like there will ever be one.

thanks ill go in tommorow for replacement....jeez i'm at my wits end. going to try one more factory reset-root-flash....then im throwing it at the wall.
I am having the same issue with several roms. I just keep going back to the 2.1 when it fails. I have tried every update for the radio I can find, I am going to try again with some new radio zips, but so far 4g is just not working on any 2.2 rom that I try.
I recently flashed a new ROM which required use of an APN backup/restore app to get a working APN (redemptive? I can't remember which, flashed a few lately). Anyway, before changing it, I did an APN backup, deleted my APN, and restored using the included xml file.
I decided to go back to virtuous via a nandroid backup and thought it would be best to restore my APN to the way it was when I first flashed the new ROM before doing so.
Everything still works, but lately when I'm not on wifi and I browse the web, facebook, etc. I'm almost always on 1X instead of 3G and it seems slower.
I could just be crazy, but I don't really remember seeing 1X active very often before. I also had a hell of a time getting navigation to download directions the other day, even with a fair amount of signal (it kept saying "data connection lost" even though the map itself was updating).
Could this have anything to with messing with the APN from a different ROM, even though I restored using nandroid? If so, is there a way to restore a stock APN? I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.

I'm really struggling to find the source of this problem if it isn't the APN. I have tried updating my PRL via *228 using both the .09.01 radio and the .07.28 radio. I have also tried several different kernels thinking that might somehow affect which data speeds are used.
I've read of a lot of people fixing this problem by either rebooting or toggling airplane mode on and off. Neither of these workarounds has given me any success.
However, I still am only getting 1X speeds everywhere I go when I normally have excellent 3G coverage everywhere. In addition, most of the time when 1X data finishes transferring, my 3G icon appears for a good 10 seconds, but with no sending/receiving animation.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong and/or how to fix it?

This was happening to me too. A Verizon rep solved it!
You need to factory reset your phone. It's not as scary as it sounds actually.
Nandroid just in case.
For Sense:
Settings --> SD & phone storage --> Factory data reset --> whichever wipes the most.
For AOSP:
Settings --> Privacy --> something...
And after the reboot, "activate" your phone. (There will be a popup)
That fixed it! Well, sort of. I ended up being put in a boot loop when I tried a factory reset, both from the menu and from within hboot. I'm not sure if it was my ROM, hboot version, being rooted, or what, since I've never had to do that for anything before.
I restored my nandroid but my phone now had no idea who my carrier was and had me in roaming mode. I was unable to get any data to transfer whatsoever and wasn't able to update anything via *228, I was pretty worried at this point!
I ended up going back to S-On, unrooting and reverting completely back to a stock image, boot, radio, etc. After re-rooting, redoing S-Off, updating the radio and restoring my nandroid backup, 3G is fully functional again!
A big pain to deal with compared to a basic factory reset I'd imagine, but worth it I guess. Thanks for the info.

You're welcome! Yeah, I'm not sure why there are so many hoops to jump through.
Seems like the factory data reset clears something that ROMs don't.
Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
good luck man, hope this helped!
I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
Ok, so I've been using Fresh 3.5.0.1 for a while now, and recently I noticed something odd. My signal stregnth would differ greatly from a stock evo. Mine would show no signal at times when the stock evo showed it had full signal. This was a minir inconvienience at times, but recently I screwed something up, and I don't know how to fix it. I used Fresh updater to update my phone to Fresh 4.0b3, and after the update I had no signal at all. I've tried everything I can find to try to fix this, and like an idiot I didn't do a nandroid backup before flashing. I'm really stuck here. I went back to 3.5.0.1, have radio 2.15.00.11.19, PRI 1.90_003. Does anybody have any ideas? What went wrong? As of now, I can't make or receive calls.
Update: I just opened up GMail, and I had 5 bars and 3G, and it checked for new email. about 20 seconds later, no signal, 3G is grayed out, and I can't make or receive calls.
Are you sure it's just your phone & not Sprint? From what I've heard they have had outages recently.
If it is your phone, try doing the fix mentioned here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
Also try downgrading your PRI. If that doesn't work, you can try flashing the stock rom or unrooting & returning to stock. If it still persists at that point, I would take it back to Sprint for a replacement.
I think Sprint may have something to do with it, I've had to call them to reset my profile once already, but my girlfriend has a stock evo, and she always has full signal in our area. I'll give the steps in the link you provided a try. Thanks for the help.
I had this problem twice before....each time I did a factory reset in settings then rebuilt with sprint lovers rom image then went back to the rom I was using at the time..hope this helps..
I don't know exactly what the problem was, but 30 minutes with tech support got it working again. I think I'm going to leave it as is for now, and wait until Fresh 4.0 comes out of beta. Or, I'll just wait until I get my hands on the EVO 3D
Thanks for the support, its comfoting to know that there is a resource (these forums) where people are willing to help others with their problems. I've done reserch using XDA, but never posted anything. Thanks for the help!
So, here's my situation:
I'm running a CDMA Gnex with Apex v.1.0.1 as my rom. I flashed a new radio, [Radio Hybrid] VZW EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3), in the hopes I could improve the hand off between 3G and 4G... Nope! The phone will no longer, no matter what I do, connect to the 3G network
OK... I figure, no big deal. I'll just flash a different radio set. Next up were the Leaked 4.0.3 Radios. Same thing. NO 3G at all!
Now I'm getting worried. I flash the stock 4.0.2 radios... Still cannot force it to use the CDMA network. I either have 4G data service or none at all...
What am I doing wrong? I've re-booted each radio set a couple times before dumping them for a different set. I've restored the nandroid back up from before I started messing with the radios. No fix there either. I've removed the sim card and reinstalled it (knowing full well it only controls 4G). Nothing doing...
I've seen similar posts about 3G/4G connectivity issues, but mine is strange because it's just the 3G radio that doesn't work. Voice calls and 4G data work fine.
Bigxie's rom has been rock solid, and since all the radios I've used presented the same issue, I'd be hard pressed to say it was one of them. I'm a noob, so I'm thinking user error somewhere along the line. Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
This was a CDMA network issue, not an issue with the Radios or Rom!!!
I magically picked up 3G this morning while at work. Since I was still running the leaked 4.0.3 radios and the Apex Rom, I realized that this was a network problem, not a software problem. I confirmed this with Verizon just now. They brought down the node closest to my place for emergency repair last night. The CDMA radio came back up as soon as it hit a tower that let it authenticate... It was just a coincidence that it occurred right when I flashed my first radio set, and frankly I feel dumb that I didn't see network error as a possibility sooner.
Try going all the way back to stock with stock radios and see if that fixes it?
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
flash the bootloader before the radio, reboot after flashing the
bootloader then flash radio, reboot, then flash stock.
