Here's what happened:
Called Sprint because I was unable to send out SMS although I was able to receive. I was on the device at the time of the call and I asked the rep if she wanted to call me on another phone. She said that what she had to do didn't involve me being on a different line. I found it kind of weird but I figured she knew what she was talking about.
She tells me that she's done doing what she was doing and that I had to reboot my phone. I disconnect the call reboot my phone and test out the SMS. It works but now my data doesn't work at all. I'm using Cyanogen RC1 and I see no 1X or 3G at the top. I can s/r calls as well as s/r sms.
I called again and the guy knew I was using Cyanogen's ROM (I guess they have a way to do that now). He tried basic troubleshooting but we couldn't fix it. How do I fix this? I remember seeing a website link in a thread a while back that contained all the different PRL versions available for download in a .zip file that we could flash in recovery. Does anyone have the website?
I tried rebooting. Should I do a nandroid restore? I have a feeling it's network related so I don't know if that will fix the issue.
Have you tried flashing a sense or stock rom and see if you get text messages there. Worth a shot. If not give your nandroid a shot or even a full wipe install.
I'm going to a nandroid restore right now. I already backed up all my apps and stuff.

Good luck!
No luck. I'm on the phone with Sprint right now and all of the reps I speak to are lost. I know it's a network issue and something not being enabled on their side.
Ok I got off the phone with them and still haven't resolved my issue. They are claiming they can't help me because my phone is rooted. They wanted me to press ##3282 commands but Cyanogen doesn't have those functions built in.
This mess all started off with a texting problem. The thing that baffles me is that SMS has nothing to do with data.

Switch to a stock sense rom and call back.

Yup, that was my idea.
I'm still a bit taken back at the fact they knew which rom you were using.
Yeah man the guy was like " I'm looking at your account and I was checking what version you were using and it says Fresh". I told him that it was what I was using before but I'm using Cyanogen now.
They somehow know what version. I think they somehow send a signal to your device so it can send back the info that's in the about section. I thought it was pretty cool. He kept stressing that my warranty was void.
First let me apologize for making this longer then maybe need be. However I want to make sure I point out everything that I think matters. Okay here it goes...
I cannot receive text messages. I can send them, however. Now, I run Cyan, the newest version (6.1 Stable). I have the newest everything.. Radios, Wimax, I mean everything. If I use Nandroid and revert it back to a state a week ago, my texts still will not work, even though it was working at that point in time I made the back-up. I mean I've uninstalled, re-installed, re-applied, re-flashed, re-EVERYTHING and nothing works. The internet, phone calls, any other software, works perfectly fine. I just cannot receive texts and I hope someone can help me out. Even if you think it may not work, I will try it. I thank anyway willing to read this, and trust me I'll check this all the time to see if anyone has a suggestion.
Are you using the stock messaging app? Or are you using something like Handcent? How are you trouble shooting this, are you sending yourself text messages and they aren't coming through? Have you posted on the Cyan thread to see if there are similar problems?
I am not sure what it is or what it could be. are you checking the stock message app and making sure they are there and just not showing up in a 3rd party messaging app?

I am using both. Well first I tried Handcent (since that's what I had installed), but then when I flashed to a brand new ROM, all I had was stock, and that still didn't work. Also yes I checked their forums and kids had problems with texting, but unlike mine. Also they had different phones. Anywho, I am testing this with 3 of my friends, and sending myself (if I think I'm doing something different) with AIM or my mother's phone. I don't know man, I just, don't, know. It's really irritating me though. Thank you though for reading all that and trying to help, it is a mystery.

Go back into recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik at least twice each and reboot. After you've rebooted, update your profile in the settings menu. That *should* help you out.

Hey buddy, I wiped the cache about 5 times in a row, (Juuuust incase, also the dalvik) I've now tried switching back to older radios and older everything. But I can't seem to install ANY sense roms for some reason now. What the heck is going on all of a sudden? Like Fresh, Ava, Re-Engineer, and nothing.
Also, I went here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
But when my phone boots up, it'll check the .Zip, stop half way, and restart in an endless loop.. So it's like I'm stuck on Cyanogen, and my texts won't come in. I don't know I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing I am, which is I'm crap out of luck.
Hey there, I fixed my problem, and the only reason I am responding is to not waste anyone else's time, and who knows maybe someone else eventually will have this problem.
Anyway, I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but I went into recovery, deleted every single thing I could delete, Hell, I even deleted the sdcard stuff (I'd imagine it makes no difference, but I was desperate). I installed the "Ava" rom and for some reason when I deleted and formatted Everything, "AVA" was actually able to boot up, the moment I went through the steps with Sense, it asked me to log in, and I did. A couple seconds later, I heard "Dling, dling, dling, dling, dling.." for a straight minute. Then all at once I had my 68 messages. ...Which makes me wonder, where the F were they before they got to my phone? Just floating around in the air? Like did the text message float to my phone when I was on Cyanogen and say, "Nope, nevermind." and float back away only to return when I put AVA on? ...Phew.. Sorry, just relieved. Thanks everyone who tried helping, I appreciate it!
Simple answer to what happened:
Sometimes EPST updates the radio's profile and PRL and all that in the background. Since CM doesn't have EPST, it can't do that, and after a while it "expires". You basically just have to flash a Sense ROM and it'll fix it.
Now, as for your "unable to boot" problem, that's due to the new radio version not being compatible with older HTC kernels. Only AOSP and 3.70-based kernels can boot with the latest radio.
Ta-da!

No kidding? That's amazing, you're the champ. Thank you for the explaination, it makes perfect sense. I'm not to um, cell phone savvy yet so this is new to me. However now I know to always keep a Sense ROM on my sdcard just for that sake alone. Thanks again man.
I'm rooted and have been for a while. I just switched to Team-Nocturnals_Shoooter_RLS3.1.1 rom. I have a problem where sometimes I can't recieve messages on the stock messaging app, I notice this because I have Gingerbread Ghostly constlantly running and that app recieves the message but not the stock messging app. I also don't recieve calls every once in a while.
The first time I ever noticed this was about a month ago when I was running a Going-Green rom but it only happened when i switched to that Rom, never happened before then. So I upgraded my radio to 2.15.00.08.08 because that Rom ran so smoothly on my phone and wanted to keep it. The problem kept happening so i switched to another Rom and it happened on that one as well.
I've switched between different roms probably 5 to 8 times and I still don't recieve messages or calls sometimes and I don't know how to fix it. A while back, user on here was nice and tried helping me out by telling me it could have to do with Google voice, so i completely deactivated Google voice and its still happening.
I would really appreciate any input and info you may have on this and please help if you can. Also can I downgrade my radio? Would that help? Thanks.
What radio version do you have? The newer radios will not allow you to downgrade. But then again, you wouldn't want to downgrade your radio anyway.
When I had this issue it was because Google Voice completely F'ed my phone. My messaging wouldn't work no matter what ROM I flashed. I ended up fixing the phone by accident as I was unrooting it to take it into the store. Here is a link on what I did with mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18399552&postcount=2
Follow that process and fully unroot your phone back to bone stock. Once you've got it back to bone stock try sending yourself a message and see if it works. If it does then feel free to unroot once again and reflash whatever ROM you wish. If it still doesnt work then, while unrooted, make sure your phone has accepted all of the OTA updates from Sprint and then update your profile. If it STILL doesnt work then give Sprint tech support a call and ask them what the ## code is to reset your phone's network signal. I wrote it down somewhere from when I tried it on mine but I cannot find that damn piece of paper. If NONE of that works for you then you may have to take it into Sprint. Good news though, it's already fully unrooted so you don't have to worry about the risk of the techs denying you.
Let me know if any of this helps.
I just switched to decks gingerbread rom which is the first time I've gone without sense and I've had no problems so far. Could it have to do with sense?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Doubtful it is sense. What rom were you using before?
I doubt it was Sense because I was having the same problem with an AOSP ROM.
I was using a lot of different sense 3.0/3.5 roms like gruesomewolfs Rom, hybrid beta 8.5, sinister Rom, I've tried almost all.

I'm trying synergy non-godmode for the first time now and will see if I have problems with it. It doesn't make any sense to me at all why I keep having these problems.
Im trying to avoid un-rooting then re-rooting but will do it if that fixes it.

About a week ago I switched to a stock Rom and then called Sprint and they updated the profile and everything and used the ##782?? or whatever number that is lol.

Call sprint from a secondary phone, tell them that you are getting very delayed text messages and not receiving calls at random. have them update your profile. If that doesnt work have them reprogram your phone. had to reprogram mine when i was receiving text messages 5 hours after they were sent

What do you mean by them reprogramming my phone? Do i need to return to stock and unroot for them to do that or can I use a stock rooted rom?

It's always best to flash each of those separately. Flash the radio and then reboot the phone. Then flash the wimax and reboot the phone. And so on and so on. I flashed one of those all in one packages and I had problems with getting everything set properly. So I did them one by one and they worked flawlessly. I then read, afterwards, that its best to do them individually. I'm not exactly sure why....but that's what has worked best for me and apparently for the majority of other people. So I recommend going back and flashing each of those individually to make sure they all installed correctly.

not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
i rooted the phone about a week ago and until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. i thought it was just somethin with the phone, and after rebooting and rebooting to see if it would correct, it did not. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then just today, i totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778&highlight=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?

Why not nandroid a backup of your current setup and then do a full factory reset wipe and ODIN over a stock rom and see if that fixes it...if it does then there is no reason to bring a perfectly good phone back.
Diagnostic process bro, get on it.
However if that doesn't yield any results? Might be bad hardware (which I doubt) and probably not your fault.
EDIT: You haven't changed your PRL by chance, have you? Sometimes on 11115 or 00001 I get intermittent MMS function...and a few times, legit PRL or not, my wifi/4g have just stopped working. A wipe and stock-restore took care of that every time...though that was a week or two after the phone came out and we didn't have nearly as many tools and options as we do now.
Also, are you sure that you haven't somehow disabled 3G or put it into airplane mode? As insulting as that sounds I have to ask....
...sometimes even the brightest of us forget to plug things in.
Odin restore would be the first step.
I would try ##72786# in the dialer then entering your msl. After that just just hut yes then let your phone do its thing and reboot and reactivate. Just remember to cancel it during the firmware check.

Good call...or even just trying to refresh your profile under 'updates' would be the easiest place to start...
The mms issues are likely a limitation of the ROM you are running (I haven't run Starburst in a couple of months so you'll have to ask about that in the ROM thread.) Easily resolved by using a third party app for mms if it is an important feature for you.
As far as the rest, the code provided by beejis is the reprovisioning code, also called a hands free reset and there is a bit more to the process than he stated (at least for a noob.) Hit the toolkit link in my signature and you'll find step by step instructions.
If that doesn't work, starting fresh is an incredibly simple process.
Also, posting the exact same question in two different forums is breaking a Cardinal rule, so you probably want to refrain from that, it won't win you many friends.

If you have titanium backup, go into that app then click backup/restore at the top. Find system updates and click on it to see if it's frozen, if it is defrost it. Then try my steps again. Other than that I'd try to Odin a stock ROM.

ok thanks, i went back to odin stock rom, did it from qbking77's post and the phone is back on stock...however............still no internet/data!!
i did do the ##number thing, the phone rebooted but notihng happened--i thought it was supposed to auto activate or something. so i went into settings/about phone/update profile....it scanned and after a few mins, i still get the error message "update could not be completed, if problem persists contact sprint customer support"
so im back on factory rom, but nothings changed---im where i was before--no data/internet....
before installing a different rom and such, i figure ill stop here and see what other suggestions may come about....sooooo, what next?
Take your phone in to a sprint store, an exchange may be in your future.

gee i hope not... i got the phone dec 14th, cant imagine having probs this early....
what if i did a total wipe, factory reset? i know ill loose everything on the phone, and now that its not rooted any longer, i have no way to back up anything (or at least not that i know of)
just hoping theres a better fix than a return/ factory reset
Now that you are stock, call sprint tell them your issue (only tell then internet doesn't work) and they'll do stuff on their end to trouble shoot it. Hopefully that will fix it.

That sucks, I'd recommend taking the phone to Sprint/where you bought it, and get it replaced/fixed. Good news is you're now back on stock so they won't really look into rooting as a problem. I always put phones back to stock before I take it in for a claim.

yea, dunno...
i did call sprint per Beejis reply here just above yours. after going through a ton of crap that i did yesterday and all today, the ## number crap, they tell me there's a nationwide outage. now i find that hard to believe since both my other phones in the house, wife/kid work just fine and they have data/internet and other ppl i know have no problems....i told the tech person that it just must be my phone only cuz everyone else's seems to work.
she did give me an outage number, maybe someone on here can verify it -- 8622911 so who the heck knows. what i do know is, i sure spent a heck of alota time on here, resetting my phone, unrooting, blahh blahh just to find out there's an outage which i doubt in the first place ...
we'll see,,,,,
If you are now stock/rooted, sounds like you need to use sfhubs auto root script to go back to stock recovery (overwrite your custom recovery) unroot, and take it back to Sprint.

its just stock odin at this point, as if it came from the store.
also, still no data/internet as of this morning. dont know why sprint
is telling me this bs story of an outage, and even if so, i find it way hard to beleive its a 4 day outage

by the way, where do i find this sfhubs root your talking about?
oh one other thing i discovered today also, now gps dont work either, no location, no search no nothing and it is turned on......... sigh
Ugh! So where do I begin.. First of all I am running the MOAR most updated version in the OP. Have been for a while. Haven't been able to update PRL/Profile in I don't how long. So I like to here and there to make sure all is well. Anyway today I started messing with it and I used some secret code I found in the MOAR thread for hands free activation. Well, that went south since I am unable to update PRL/Profile. Then I called Sprint and she got the hands free activation off. I was still unable to update PRL/Profile after that. I went ahead and downloaded the latest MOAR and wiped EVERYTHING!! Then flashed the MOAR. I am not sure exactly when the 4G/3G problems started to happen. I am thinking before I flashed the ROM again. But anyway in a nutshell I I can not still update PRL/Profile. Gives me internal error and now I have no 4G/3G. Sprint wanted me to call them on another phone and I assume to deactivate my phone and reactivate it or something idk. I remember one time my sister had this issue and I was in the phone 5 minutes and it was back. IDK why I am having such a issue.
I had the same issue on my first flasb. Forcing hands-free activation fixed it

EDIT: Make sure you're connected to wifi when you do it.

Right. That did fix it although after I still was unable to update PRL/Profile. But right now I am having an issue with no 3G/4G. Sprint said it could be a hardware issue with my antenna which I find hard to believe. I am downloading another ROM now and see if that works any better. Not sure what else to do. I don't have 50$ and I am not trying to pay for it. I find it hard to believe that my antenna is just not working. Although I was on the phone with her for 50 minutes and it seemed like we tried everything I just don't want to give up.
Odin back to full stock... Usually clears up lots of issues. You can reroot and flash moar again.

Is odin back to stock difficult? I would think it would be easy since to root is fairly simple. I am going to keep downloading this ROM. Then go back to stock and see if that works.
EDIT: So on my second call to Sprint today this guy said I need Sprint Zone and I need to activate my phone. Having our phones rooted I did not have this app. Thankfully I seen it posted so I put it in my DB and installed it and it installed but the app was no where to be found. I even flashed the app pack and installed it same issue. Then I called Sprint two more times just to come to the conclusion that my phone antenna could be defected. Which would cost me 50$. Anyway, I thought it was something else I could do. Sitting here downloading a ROM on my phone and on my laptop going to thread to thread. Hangout convo to hangout convo I see the status of the download. Well what do you know Sprint Zone is updating. So I updated it and it opened. Said my phone was not activated. So I activated it, phone restarted and I have 4G LTE and I went to the browser and it works. Finally caught a break. Thanks guys!! @edfunkycold @CNexus
