Figured I would make a post about a quick way to fix that 1X HELL were 3G is gone and data sucks.
I know on a few roms the dialer has been edited and you can't due the #2 to call sprint and if you do ##72786# enter msl to reset your prl and do the hands free activation some roms will reboot the phone for you some won't tho you reboot it your self and it will due the hands free activation.... This caused a 1X that never went away.. This was on a sense rom
I tried this on a rom last night due to prl error 1020 big mistake lol.... I got stuck in 1X HELL flashing to other roms full wipes nothing fixed it even redoing the hands free thing..
I wiped then unrooted and ran the RUU 2.17 exe still had 1X speeds on the stock rom. When you are unrooted you have to redo the ##72786# redo the hands free activation and it will fix you up and then update your profile...
Then re apply the unlock code to root again flash a new recovery and go back to flashing....
If someone knows a better way to fix this feel free to throw your 2 cents
On a side note to new members your phone isn't bricked if you are stuck in HBOOT or you are in bootloops.....
A brick is when your phone doesn't turn on............. You messed the boot.img up when you flashed or didn't wipe right.......

Anytime man thanks... I was stumped on that 1X really seemed like hell lol...
When i did the code to do all that awhile ago i noticed i got stuck in 1x for some odd reason. It really just took me re-doing the codes and updating profile/prl all over again and the next time it cleared it out.
This was on stock rooted too.

I was thinking about giving that a shot lol. The problem started from using that ##72786# so I figured if that is what caused it I would redo it stock wise.. Worked...
3G speeds are going smooth I didn't wanna go messing with other codes lol...
From the looks of it the data and the prl thing kinda do the same things hands free lol on sprints site they say to do the ##72786# if you are programming a used phone to re do the hands free activation..

Ya the one code I did updates your PRL and checks on the rest of things doesn't update profile tho...
I did that code on eternity 3.0 R81 cause the prl was error 1020 lol that was how I got stuck in 1X Hell lol...
I tried it on a few other sense roms and didn't fix things even updating the prl or profile my self
I too am stuck in this 1x hell you speak of. It is a sad place of little or no data.
I don't know if it's because of the new radio in the 651.5 update or due to a rom I was using. I have performed the hands free activation before and after restoring my last good recovery backup and before/after running the 651.5 Ruu.zip. I have also had custom service walk me through the Handsfree Activation, and had them send the PRL/Profile update directly. No change & no TEP.
Well thanks for pointing that out, I thought I was going crazy when all I saw on my phone was the 1x. Switched to Viper Rom and did the ##data# and another code that I can't think of and it went away. 1x was pissing me off.
I tried different roms along with back ups that didn't work . I had to relock my phone and run 2.17 ruu exe and do that prl hands free activation fixed me.
Go stock and do that thing relock worked for me...... You have to do the hands free thing cause 1X Hell will also be on stock until you do the hands free activation.

Yep, did all that, and the ##Data# also. No luck, its intermittent. 1000ms Pings with 56k DL's at the worst. Sprint Cust.Svc said no tower issues reported (of course). Had appt with Sprint Repair store tonight. Tech was dismissive, said can't rely on the OOkla based SpeedTest app, and said that there have been issues with towers in my area for last week and a half. Claimed Sprint Cust. Svc doesn't know about local tower issues & to just call the store. Didn't even look at my phone. I felt like he just wanted to go home early and not deal with my phone.
Currently i'm running good. I'll bring my son's Transform with me to work tonight and compare speeds to see what's happening.
This happened to me randomly when switching PRL's one day. I had to do Hand Free Activation like 5-6 times before it finally grabbed. I was stuck with 1x for a night and half the next day. I was so pissed at the time! lol

Lol man I fixed mine doing the PRL thing not the data one....
Since the prl code caused me the hell on a rom when I did it as a guinea pig...
Anyways the prl one fixed me up... Haven't had any issues since then..
Just got off the other phone with Sprint Customer Svc again after being "disconnected" at 3am EST (end of shift? ). They said that there aren't any towers within 5 miles of my of my 2 primary locations and that was the reason for erratic data. Nevermind that it was fine for the last 15 months until the last week. Arrrggh.

I've had periods where my Tbolt didn't want to connect to LTE or EVDO for a long time. It generally fixed itself after enough time. Usually way less than a day though. I'm close enough I could probably take a look at it. See if it's your phone or if mine does the same thing.

where abouts are you located? im in roseville. ive been all around today for work (clinton twp, detroit, harper woods and st clair shores) and no connection in either of them areas.
could it be that ive been flashing a stupid amount of roms/radios lately? im SERIOUSLY getting butt hurt because my gal keeps sending me what she calls "naughty pics" and im not able to download them!
thanks for the quick response from the boths of yous.
I'm in St. Louis, lost 4g this afternoon. Only 1x now. Could be Verizon, and nothing at all on your end. This is the first time I haven't had 4g since I got my bolt in May.
If its not Verizon, you could pull your sim for about 10 min, then pop it back in and power up the phone.

I'm down in Toledo at the moment. Things are working fine here. Only problem was the outage last night for a couple hours. Changed ROMs and radios since then, too, with no issue.

im mean NO DATA! nothing at all. no 1x,3g or 4g
weather widget is from when i restored the rom, it wont update
edit. did a sim pull for 10 mins and vuala 1x pops up then changes to 3g. about 10 seconds later BOOM! nothing... im gonna try a sim pull for like an hour and see what happens with that. shouldnt be any difference but its worth a shot.
This could be many things, most likely you'll need a new SIM, youll need to unroot and restore stock, go into VZW, they'll give you a new one.
delivered via Zeus' finger
I'm in the same boat! Randomly lost all data a day or 2 ago. Tried everything soo far. Assumed my sim card is dead But people say it's a network problem. I get 3g in Rev.A mode. But nothing in normal mode. I'm pissed. Willing to try a new sim card but not unrooting my phone just for a sim. What would happen if you brought a rooted phone into Verizon. I just want a sim. Would they deny you service? Or put a note on your account stating your phone has been rooted and to void your warranties?
Last time I went to the store I knew more about the phone than all three reps combined. I doubt they would even know its rooted.
Put my phone in LTE mode and got 4g back finally.

If you were returning it, yeah, then I'd go back to stock. But, for a sim swap, you can power it off, and pull the sim for them, they won't even notice it when it boots. Unless of course your boot sound is F*** Verizon or something

im convinced its my phone. went into verizon today and the reps tbolt was working fine both 3g and 4g. we did a sim swap and still nothing although, i did get like 2 mins of 4g love about 3 hours after the sim swap but then right back to nothing after it downloaded some pics from texts.
does this have anything to do with it?
i need some help here
spent an hour on the phone with Verizon and they said the netowrk in my area was fine. After all was done and said they are shipping me a new sim. Today when I woke up my phone had a data connection. I haven't shut it off or anything since the tech call.

Welcome to the ****ty Sprint network
The fix? Get a Verizon or ATT phone
I'm really considering it but I'm just not sure about the monthly raping I'll receive
At least youll actually be able to use the data you pay for on Verizon
I would do the same but thankfully I am in an area with Wifi most of the time so it doesnt matter that the data speed is only 40kb/s and no 4G service.
I wish my speeds were that fast smh
Google voice integration did this to me. Disabled integration and went back to normal.
Also been having problems with missing/late texts ever since i linked it to google voice.
no, but sometimes mine will come with the timestamp way later than it actually is, which is also annoying.
So sprint called me asking if I noticed any improvements, I told them to call me tomorrow so I can test it out....its the same no improvements
Yea just stay with the Verizon prl I have not left it for months

Been happening to me for the past three . it's irritating.
Been on the 0001 prl for the past couple of days, not a single late message
I was gonna post a thread about this too but I'll spare the clutter. This started happening to me since I flashed the latest ota with leeroid tweaks 3 days ago. I flashed the radio too. I was suspecting it was the update or radio or something... There was 1 text I got yesterday 3 hours late.

Hey Guys,
I've been using the Verizon PRL 00001 for the last few months. I have no service in my house without it...none! For some reason on my last bill, I had 650 mins (200 over my 450) charged to my account when I never even hit 100 on average. No mobile-to-mobile mins were registered and most calls made after 7pm counted toward my anytime mins instead of my free nights and weekends! I looked at my call log and calls I know that were made to mobile phones (most to other Sprint customers) showed up as "Unavailable". I called to complain and I was told by Sprint that those calls were made off the network therefore they were charged to your anytime mins. I was advised to use the option "Sprint Towers Only" which means my phone is pretty much useless. A few days later, I received the famous roaming warning letter from Sprint. I cannot receive texts on the 21083 PRL even if I'm in a clear Sprint area. My phone only works in the 00001 PRL. What do I do? I've flashed several different Sense ROM's and I get the same result. I even updated my radio and build and still get the same result. I've tried other PRL's but the only one that will allow me to receive texts is the 00001. If this continues, Sprint will terminate my account but if I leave it on the 21083 PRL, I can't get texts and calls constantly drop! HELP! Thanks, guys!

Nothing you can do except switch to another carrier. If you don't have signal in your house, there is nothing you can do from the phone to get a signal, sprint just needs to add a tower closer to your house, which they will never do for just one customer. So stop screwing sprint by running the Verizon PRL 24/7 and just bite the bullet and switch.
A couple of thoughts. You could/should let them terminate you so you can get a carrier that works where you live. Did you move since you got your phone? Try and install a stock ROM with the latest OTA, and then make sure you have the current PRL and radio's. If that does not work, switch to Verizon and get the Galaxy Nexus.
Not to be preachy, but being on the 00001 prl violates your contract with Sprint as you will reach the roaming limits very fast. They are on to you at this point...

I have a new tower less than a mile from my house but I guess geologically it doesn't help. I can't even receive texts in a clear Sprint area in the 21083 PRL...its got to be a phone issue. I'm not screwing anybody! I'd switch if it wouldn't cost me $350 early termination and if Verizon had an unlimited plan. I just want my phone to function as it should on a proper PRL...

I'm running Mean ROM now which is pretty stock and I updated the radio and PRL to the latest OTA but the problem still persists...I don't want to sit on the 00001 PRL which is why I tried to get it correct but the phone in a clear Sprint area doesn't function properly with the correct PRL

Hahaha! Thanks! Actually, I think the probably I'm having with the hands-free activation is that I was still on the 00001 PRL so it wouldn't activate. I cancelled and installed the 21083 and starting over...will post results soon
No dice...it all finished successfully but I still cannot receive texts on the 21083 PRL...there has to be something wrong here
Do you have insurance? Maybe you can swap it out? Do other Sprint phones work at your house? (friends or family?)

Yup...my roommates phone works fine at home...but I think the problem is bigger than that because I can't receive texts anywhere while using the 21083 PRL...I'm sitting at work right now with full bars and can't receive texts...I don't want to swap the phone because theres currently a 2 week back order on 3D's and I don't want to get stuck on the 1.5 HBOOT...Its got to be a setting of some sort...I had a similar problem coming back from Vegas after having to have my phone "activated" for the mid-country region while I landed and then again with my Airave. Nothing changed at all and then out of nowhere last month's bill blew up...I'm almost at a complete loss right now...

Well you didn't mention that before, which makes a big difference. Knowing this, it likely IS a problem with your phone, and sprint should replace it if you are still under warranty. Unroot, take into a corporate sprint store, and have it checked out.

Well you have two choices, bite the bullet and wait a few days for a new 3d with hboot 1.5 (and deal with the 1.5 root issues), or keep having problems sending texts and making calls.
.Its got to be a setting of some sort..

There's no setting besides airplane mode that would make your phone not receive texts and make calls. It's clear there's a problem with the phone's radio, let sprint take care of it.

Well you didn't mention that before, which makes a big difference. Knowing this, it likely IS a problem with your phone, and sprint should replace it if you are still under warranty. Unroot, take into a corporate sprint store, and have it checked out.

Sup man Did you mess with your prl at all? Your radios or anything? What rom you on?
Did you try to do a profile update and prl update? If all else is dickin up I would try a handsfree activation for the hell of it just make sure the rom you are on has the programming codes working fine...

im on mean rom now.. yea i flashed that freeza zip that updates everything like a few weeks ago.. it was fine till like 2 days ago?? how to i do that handfree activation?? and yea i went into system updates in my phone and updated the prl and profile cause i thought it mite help
##72786# then your MSL and do a reset.. Make sure on meanrom he left the programming codes alone tho.. Because if you try this method on a rom that has the codes removed or edited for some thing it will get you stuck in 1X hell.. You will have to unroot and run a stock rom and do the same thing again to fix the issue..
I can't say it will fix you it might ... But I don't want ya blaming me if you get stuck in 1X hell man So run this at your own risk
I have seen a few others say they had the same issue you are having sprint said they have been working on the towers...
im having the same problems, i havent done anything to my phone but since thursday the internet has been 1xRRT
So I got a replacement phone in, Since it was stock it reported 3G. But it is a known issue that these phones will never display 1x on the status bar. So I do not know if the issue was already present. Here is what I did
HTC Unlocked phone
Flashed TWRP 2.6.3
Installed SuperSU
Rebooted
Flashed ViperROM 4G
fastboot flashed boot.img
Hand Free Activation initialized. Updated PRL as well.
1x. Tried doing actication again, same thing. Factory reset. Same thing.
Flashed stock rom. checked connection with *#*#4636#*#* still 1x.
Rooted phone, flashed latest firmware. same thing.
Factory reset, with stock deodex rock, Handfree Activation, PRL. PRI udate. same thing.
ANY advice would be great at this point. The sprint store is something near useless unless i get a techie

Have you tried updating your PRL & Profile? That may help...

Yes I forgot to mention that, I have done it a few times. After rooting and S-Off it asks you to do so. Ive also done it manually after the fact. no luck
Did you have 4g in your area before? If not, there's a strong chance that Sprint is working on towers nearby. I had to deal with about 2 weeks of incredibly horrendous data and dropped calls while at home. Now, we finally have 4G. Not great, but certainly better.
While I could be wrong, this is just something to keep in mind.

Yes we had 4G for a while now. I did a chat with sprint, they tried to do something on their end but it did not resolve the issue. on my end they asked me to update profile again. no go. they are escallating the issue. grr
When I first s-offed my evo, sprint locked my phone down and made me call them to ensure of something. I forgot what it was, but my texting would not work, couldn't call anyone, and data stayed to 1x. Then i called sprint from the phone and then they said thank you and blah blah blah, i had no clue what she was saying cuz it was so fast. But after, it all worked as if nothing happened.
