Hello, I have an evo 4g that is flashed to boost. Has been working fine the past year an last week 3g stopped working.The icon is lit up but it seems that it does not work.Internal apps in the phone recognize if it is on or not either by attempting to work if it is lit up or by giving me the message that I need a data connection if it is not lit up. Tried rebooting-battery out and back in, tried uninstalling-reinstalling ROM(which is SS_Ultra) still no 3g. Wireless does work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Roseypat...First I would dial ##33284# and then click "Data Status" and at the very top Where it says IP Address: after that does it say EVDO Rev A (with numbers like this 170.356.123.for example: EvDo Rev A 170.123.456.789.....or after the IP Address: does it say this 1xrtt 170.123.456.789) Also, below that it will say "Last Data Error:" if it says no data thats fine, but if it has a code what was it? This will at least tell us if you have a data connection and whether it is 3g(EvDo) or 1xrtt(2g)....Because you say that the 3g symbol is there it has to have a data connection...And the blinking your referring to is indicating that it is sending or receiving data.
That being said, this usually is related to a bad app downloaded or updated right around the time that it quit working...The first thing I would do is switch it to the stock rom if possible...But either way, I'm betting if you do a Factory Data Reset on your device(which will not effect the flash it will only erase all of the users inputs and data(ie apps, etc)....I just had someone with this exact issue and the Factory Data Reset fixed it back to normal. You can find this in the Storage section of the settings menu(at least on the stock rom anyways)...Btw, just to be safe, I would remove your sd card before you do the factory data reset. Good Luck.

Here are some pictures that can possibly help someone help me. 3G has not connected to the network since I installed the Synergy nightly rom. 4G works and Im able to use data but not 3G and Im unable to make/receive calls and text. Gps works, wifi works. I even noticed today while traveling to work (which is 22 miles from my house) that it connected once but with 1x signal strength then it dropped.
I'd try "restoring" your profile and see if that helps.
If you don't have your MSL, you can get the MSL Reader from the market (or possibly find the APK somewhere and push to your phone since data isn't working).
1. Dial ##3282# from your phone.
2. Choose "Edit Mode"
3. Enter your 6-digit MSL
4. Select "Data Profile"
5. Press your "Menu" button.
6. Select "Restore".
7. It will restore your default data profile and reboot/check for PRL/firmware updates.
8. Success??

Thanks and i tried that method already but will give it another shot..

Something similar happened to me not too long ago and I had to do a factory reset to get it working again. Get you MSL code, and then ##786#. In that menu, hit "menu" and then restore the phone.
Before you do, back-up all your apps and user data with Titanium Backup (or whatever you use) so you can restore your phone back to how it is now. If not, you will lose all your apps and settings.
Thanks will try this method again and let you guys know my results.
So did you ever get this resolved?
Just Update Data profile. I was having the same problem a few days ago and flashed back to VirusROM from CM7 to update the profile.
Hey guys, I just recently updated to sense 3.0 and immediately after my phone will show 3g then it will drop to 1x then soon after it shows no data connection. If I try to open an app that uses data like the market it tells me there is no connection, some apps tell me to check and make sure I am not in airplane mode. Then randomly 3g will kick back on for a bit then it will cycle back through 1x and no data again. I also cant tether anymore either.
I reverted back to the stock rom backup (only root no other changes) and now my signal does the same thing. I have no way to get data now and its super frustration.
Things I have tried..
Calling Verizon (solution is warranty replacement)
*228 (does nothing)
Bringing back a known working backup (does nothing)
Restart/Battery pull (nothing)
Putting it in and out of airplane mode (nothing)
I am currently downloading 2 different roms and the newest radio and I will try and flash those and see if it works.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

flawless, thank you so much
my phone has been rooted for 1 year now and so far have had no problems what so ever, but just recently i flashed synergy rom and all hell broke loose. my phones 4g works fine and so does wifi but my 3G would not start, it would turn on for about 1 second then go straight to 1x.
things i have tried......
update my profile and prl...nothing
##data##, menu, restore....nothing
pulled the battery like about 155752 times....nothing
nandroid restore to a time where it was working...thing
flashed like 6 different roms and still nothing works.
flashed new radios and still a no go..
i tried to do the whole metro pcs flash but then changed my mind not to go to metro as its network is crapy. i went to qpst and cdma and reverted everything back to how it was, so i dont see why it would mess up my 3G
i have no idea what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.
If it is 1x, that shows the true data strength. You may have excellent connection, but poor data in that area, or the server is just temporarily overloaded. It'll correct itself. Previously, sense roms would always show 3G even if it was a 1x connection, but most developers put in that fix to show the true strength, like in aosp.
Thanks for the reply. the thing is that my wife has an evo as well and shes right next to me and gets perfect 3g data connections, and i was getting error 67 upon trying to update prl and profile. as soon as i did the reset on the ##data## it went away, and now it wont even connect to 1x at all...man its so frustrating, ive searched and search but nothing.
same thing has happened to me, tried chatting 3 times, and called tech support once, so far no data.
try this...i did not work for me at all but it might work for you...good luck buddy you'll need it lol...this crap is frustrating as hell.

ive had similar problems... just flashed a rom,, 3g working but hotspot isnt.... i need help too
Sense ROM's show 3G to identify a data connection, while the bars are actually displaying the voice connection. I believe aosp ROM's strickly display the data speed since voice reception is generally good. This may just be a placebo affect and you think you have poor 3G. I would suggest running a speed test on both ROM's (your current one and the one you found "good" data speeds on) to ensure that it's not the ROM itself.

I've got the same exact issue, but I've been on Synergy for a while now. As of last night though, no 3g... My France's unrooted EVO works just fine, and I've been in a few different areas, so I know it's not the tower. I've done the same things the OP has done and still nothing... Is it possible for the Rom to fry out the 3g??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ok ive got mines working. However its still a little sketchy but atleast 3g doesnt go away. After going tjrough the steps in my last post, I did ##786# and resetted everything. Then reflashed my rom and walah!
This worked for me.
Step 1: Open dial pad , ##3282# enter
Step 2: Select "Edit Mode", then input your MSL number
Step 3: Select "Data Profile", then press menu button
Step 4: Select "Restore", then press ok. Should reboot on it's own. If not reboot.
You said you did something similar but figured it wouldn't hurt.
I did that, but didnt work for me. However every phone is different and every little bit helps.

I've been running CM7 stable since May without any issues. Friday night I visit a friend who's pretty far out and I usually only get 1 or no bars. I tried to look up something on my phone but i got a 'Data Roaming - you have lost data connectivity' notification. I didn't think much of it and turned on Data roaming to use the 1x data for the time. Then the next day at home where i get great connection i noticed i was still on 1x. I turned off roaming and the data connection notification pops up and i can't get any data. I've updated my radios to current releases and even tried reflashing but i still can't get any data. Any suggestions?
Airplane mode?

Good guess but it's not that. I've turned data on and off multiple times to see if i could just reset a connection but it never does. I can't figure this out, i did not change anything and all of a sudden i lost my data :c
Bumpy. I recently got a new battery and tried using my old one but that didn't help either. I'm really at a loss of ideas.
Have you tried reflashing cuz it happen to me on another ROM and I reflashed it and it worked idk give it a shot bruh

My friend since you tried all those other routes why dont you just refresh your data. You will have to flash back to Sense but I think that should do the trick. Get your MSL code from Sprint or the MSL reader in the market and go for it. There should be quite a few threads in google to show you how to do it without call Sprint. Its harmless to try and will refresh everything for you. May not hurt to update prl as well
(TL;DR at the bottom)
This morning, I swapped to my old Evo 4g (rooted as well) because I was going to be doing community service all day and didn't want anything to happen to my Epic 4g.
First thing I noticed was that there was no 3g on my Evo. I shrugged this off because 4g was working, and I only needed data for a short period of time.
After switching back to my rooted Epic, I followed the instructions, and it reset after putting in a stream of numbers and symbols.
When booting, I saw a custom boot animation, but everything else looked pretty stock. None of my apps, stock TW launcher, etc.
I shut off the phone, booted into recovery, wiped, and did a nandroid restore from yesterday's backup. Then I updated profile and PRL. I was able to make calls and send text messages, but no 3g (symbol said 3g with grey arrows though).
I also tried flashing a new ROM, but that didn't give me back 3g (symbol was still there).
I haven't been able to try 4g on the Epic yet because I haven't been able to get back to the side of town where the 4g towers reach.
Finally, I called Sprint to see if they could help me out.
They ran me through updating my Profile and PRL, turning WiFi on/off, turning 3g on/off, and even manually setting some of the network configurations (using MSL's, changing MSID, etc.)
After a good hour on the phone, I still have no 3g. D:
They told me that they put in a "Network Support Ticket" and some technicians will work on this for the next 36 hours.
TL;DR: Swapped from Epic --> Evo --> Epic in a 24 hour period, and there is no 3g. Tried updating Profile/PRL, flashing a new ROM, a nandroid restore, and calling Sprint, but still no 3g (even though the symbol is still showing)
Can you guys please help me shed some light on this?
Thanks!
(In case it matters, I'm running the Stock+ ROM from the Mortify Thread)
I really am not sure but you should try calling Sprint, pulling out the battery and ask for an RTN reset. I used this off an Evo thread when I had connection issues with my Epic after going full retard and doing an EFS clear with Odin. The RTN reset on the phone didn't work for me so I think it is different and the tech told me they have resets for voice, SMS, and data but I forget which this is for. If nothing else ask them to do a voice, SMS, and data reset on your line.
Sent from My Phone with An App.
I was just about to call them, but had an idea.
I unrooted and 3g came back!
Shortly after, I re-rooted, and am happily using 3g
Thank you!
If anyone else has this problem, I used this to unroot, and this to re-root.
XDA community, you're the greatest
Glad to hear you got it working. Odin works wonders!
