My Rezound is S-off and everything. I RUU'ed back to GB yesterday to test the bluetooth in my car since it doesn't seem to work well in ICS. So, I cleared everything, RUU'ed again back to 3.14.605.5 and now I can't get 4G at all, no matter what ROM or network settings I use. I just tried RUU'ing again to see if for some reason it was a bad flash. Sure enough, it's still not working at all. Meanwhile my gf's Tbolt and my buddy's Razr are on full 4G, so it's definitely a phone issue.
Any ideas?
Did you do a factory reset with a stock recovery?
I actually saw a thread that mentioned doing a factory reset in Hboot, doing that now.
Done, 4G is back. Man this phone is complicated sometimes, mixing HBOOTS and radios equals hell, lol.
Sorry for the unnecessary thread.

I don't know if its just me but I no longer have 4G on my TB. I've been using the 704 Radio for a long time and never had issues with 4G. All of a sudden today, no matter what rom I load, I have no 4G. I did call Verizon today for some personal info and there was a recording regarding issues with devices but I forgot to get more info on it. I know I have 4G coverage in my area so idk what's going on..Can anyone Chime in and lmk what they're experiencing..Thanks
i havent had any issues with mine today, have you tried to flash a different radio? or perhaps you should try the ##778# method to turn off 4g and switch the cdma only and then revert back
Moved to Q&A

Aside from the typical cliche of reminding you to put your flame suit on, has one considered that it may be location related and had you checked a local Verizon store to determine if their 4G units are experiencing like problems?
The key to basic troubleshooting is to rediscover the basic fundamentals of the obvious solutions, available to you, prior to stepping to the in-depth possibilities that may exist otherwise. - shawnathan9

First off, Thanks for the quick tip with the ## thing..Didn't know about that..Secondly, I will try another radio, I think the Liquid rom does use the official MR2 radio..I'll try that and see..Thanks

Just a heads-up...radios are not included in roms. Rom threads simply state which radios they work with but it seems users think that means those roms are including the radio which is incorrect. You will need to flash a radio in bootloader (not recovery) if you want to try a different one.

I've loaded dozens of roms and understand that Radios do not come with any rom. I also know how to flash radios as well. Thanks for your input anyways.

I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just a common mistake and something in the last comment made it sound like you thought they were in roms so I wanted to mention it. I suppose I read too much into it.
Try enabling Wifi for a while....then turning it off.
Every once in a while when I flash a new ROM (seems to happen more on AOSP based) it starts off in 1x, then LTE...then 3G.
Sometimes you just gotta let it settle... But I've found using WiFi, then turning it off and using the LTE on/off app (it's the same as the ##, just quicker) you can get LTE working.
Finicky....but it works...

Go back to MR2.5 704 is great in the cities, but it tightens up tolerances too much for other areas. Another issue with MR3 aka 704 is that 3G data is wicked touchy when your dealing with 96dbm and higher. MR2.5 was a release and I have good reason to believe the next radio release be it official/final or leaked will be more loose like 2.5
Again everyone's experience will very, speaking of averages here. Also
Thanks for all the feedback guys..Tried all the tricks but no go..I got 4G away from my home near work but I get here at home, No 4G. I called VZW and they verified I should have 4G in my area. I didn't wanna troubleshoot the TB w/tech support cuz it's rooted and the info they may ask for, will not be what they're expecting since am running custom rooted rom..ready5, I just loaded the 2.5 radio and No 4G still..IDK what's really going on?
approx how long ago was the last time you had 4G at your home? Did you change anything since then can can perhaps revert back to a previous backup. and just to confirm, on a fresh reboot you see absolutely no 4G at all from home
NY, I believe I had 4G w/CM7 and kobes rom..Am going to attempt to restore one of y backups and see..I have no clue what went south here..When I get to work, I do have 4G but again, my home area, no 4G and Am told by Verizon, Am supposed to have 4G. I just loaded UBER bamf and no 4G either. I located this confusing Thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128) and tried the GB d/lds and still no 4G

I have an EVO 3D with HBoot 1.40 that has sms problems. none of the Sprint reps over the phone could figure it out or fix it. I'm going to unroot it and take it into the store for them to try to fix it/replace it. I want to know from other people that have got a replacement from sprint, did they also get one with HBoot 1.50? or are they replacing with phones which would make it difficult/impossible for me to root it once I get it?
edit:
correction. I have Hboot 1.40. not 1.50.

I'm pretty sure you'll get the same 1.5 hboot. There hasn't been any hboots above 1.5 as far as I know.
Maybe if you're lucky you might get 1.4 from a refurb, but I highly doubt it.
Mine has that same hboot…… Does that mean I'm not allowed to root

Try going to a custom ROM based on stock and run a profile update. Also try wiping the data on the messaging app.

the problem is sms between 130-160 characters that I send do not show up on the other persons phone. if I send a 180 character sms for example, the second text (20 character sms) only shows up. I've used all the well known roms. tried different sms clients. tried different keyboards. super wipes. hard resets. but nothing fixes the problem that I've had for months. even over the phone I spent hours and they tried everything and cant figure it out so told me to take it into the sprint store. which means I would have to unroot it and possibly get a phone I cant root in the process which to me means maybe I'll just live with the problem and send small sms.
I know going through the HTC unlock process is not the "preferable" method, but I have a Hboot 1.5, rooted running Scott's Senseless ROM and am still able to flash kernels and such (though I have to initiate the process using adb). If you want to use anything as a test-bed ROM, I would recommend this one as it is AMAZINGLY stable and very fast.
Also, why would you have to un-root the phone? I was told face-to-face by the Sprint sales guys that recommended Scott's Senseless to me that they will not turn anyone away with a rooted device.

I've had this problem when I'm roaming on 1x. After three replacements I narrowed it down. It has something to.do with the time stamp of your SMS. Sometimes it might be 1pm and half a message will come in from 5pm.

I just replaced my evo 4g with the 3d the end of Dec I didn’t check my hboot version but I am pretty sure it was not 1.5 till after I did all 3 of the htc updates. My parents also went the next day in a different town than me one phone needed 3 updates like mine and the other only one. So I am thinking it is still a pretty good possibility you could get 1.4. If you go the rout of replacing the phone. But all 3 phones had horrible 3g speeds till I called and re-provisioned each.

Well actually you can still root with hboot 1.50 you just can not s-off but still install custom roms.
You would have to use htc unlock

S-OFF is complete root in that it gives you the freedom to flash to any partition and allows you to flash custom PG86IMG zips. S standing for security.

Two days ago I rooted and installed cm7.1. Everything was fine at home on WiFi then I go to work and my phone is rendered useless. I work in and area where before being rooted and having a custom Rom installed I would have good 3g service all day every day. Now the phone is bouncing back and fourth between 3g and 1x. With one to two bars on either and usually stuck on 1x. So I switch to mean Rom ics. Rom works exceptionally well but now I'm at work and once again terrible not even usuable signal strength in a place where I've worked for years and never had an issue before. It took me 3 hours to download tapatalk from the play store today just to write this. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there's a fix! If not I'll be reverting to stock.
Sprint evo 3d
Hboot 1.5 s-on

Mean Rom ics
I tried updating profile and prl with no luck. Which actually I don't even know what that does so it could be irrelevant.

Bumer man. If you were s-off I'd say just flash a different radio. However you being s-on makes that not a option. Have you tried calling sprint and have them reset your signal ?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
Ya, definitely do s-off, prefer Closeone with Unknownforce, worth the time, not sure of other method, never tried. Different Rom, some my data is 200-400, others better signal and 1100-1600 3g. CM7 kind of old, second the recommended previously though my preference is Sense 4, no 4g in Phoenix metro, dam you Sprint...lol.

Yes I see this also. I wounder if it is Sprint network?
I've seen this also, it seems to do this in any browser that i've thrown at it. I don't think it is the network as a web page that isn't loading due to traffic shouldn't lag the phone. When mine does it i can't even turn the screen off until its done being stuck. I was trying meanrom so i updated to the newest firmware and baseband, but i reverted back to an old nandroid of charmelon rom which is 1.13.
The nandroid didn't seem to restore the baseband nor do i think it was designed to, but long story short i'm still on the newer baseband and being that the common point between you and I is probably that, i'm going to guess there is some kind of issue in the radio thats locking up the phone.
I'm going to flash back down to the original radio and see if it changes things.
I'm on stock.

you're on the update, so you're on the 1.22 firmware with 1.05 something radio. I was saying that it might have had something to do with the radio.

I've just flashed back down to the older radio so i'll have to try it a few days and see if thats even the issue.
I'm not sure if theres anything to be done on a stock unit, unless maybe you're able to run an RUU of the original rom and have it restored back to the day you recieved it.
So I feel really dumb because I am S-off and rooted using Tranquility ICS Rom HBOOT 1.12.PRI 2.45_003 PRL 25006 Baseband 1.12.11.0809 but my cell signal just drops when I am making calls. Could I have damaged the radios somehow while getting to root and S-off? Things haven't been the same since I tried to use CM10. I put CM10 on just after I rooted and flashed I put CM10 on it and that is when I started to notice my radios would just drop. Almost as if they were rebooted. Then I takes me a long time to get a good connection back. Could flashing the wrong firmware for your radios damage them? Not sure if I did that or not but I may have.
I was happy with stock but I wanted to tether every once in a while and that is why I did it. I am horrible and a very bad phone guy.(said with a little chuckle even though it is true)
If you can, please lend me some advice.
Thank you in advance. I really should stop playing with my phones as I am not savy enough to not break them. However I love to tinker but I think I will stick with full sized computers as I know how to fix them.

Okay so friday night I went with the stock rotted rom and Kaboom. My radios returned to normal. Not only that but after going with the custom roms I was having major battery issues(only 13 hours worth with limited use). I cleared the battery stats and charged it Friday into Saturday. I didn't need to recharge until tonight. 1day 8hrs 43mins with a good amount of use. I even used the wifi for about 2 hours at home installing all my apps that didn't get a proper titanium backup for some reason. Everything is back to normal. That is very strange because a lot of guys using those roms say they get similar if not better battery life. Could be me. Thanks guys for the info.
