[Q] EVO LTE having LTE issues - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So i was on Meanrom and i went from meanrom to CM10. Back then I had Hboot 1.15 and S-ON. I used the Flash Image GUI app to flash the cm10 kernel and from this point on the only time i am able to get LTE connectivity is with the CM10 ROM. Any other ROM it will say "Disconnected" under mobile network if i have the network mode on LTE/CMDA. It works just fine on all ROMs when i switch to CDMA only. Thus I have an LTE phone w/o LTE unless i am on CM10 ROM. I love the CM10 ROM but battery life is becoming a huge hassle with this ROM.
I have tried the following:
1. Used the Flash Image GUI to get back to the stock ROM and then doing a fresh Meanrom/Stock w/ Goodies ROM. Neither of these work.
2. I now have S-OFF and tried to just factory reset/system whipe/clear cache/ D Cache. This did not work either
3. While being in S-OFF i have tried to use Flash Image GUI, does not work.
4. I've even go as far as going all the way back to stock, no root, stock room by using an RUU. This was a pain in the behind but still won't get 4G.
Notes: When on 3g mode (CDMA only network mode) I always have signal, but sometimes it says "4g" on the indicator but when doing speed tests it clearly has 3g speeds (300kps on a good day lol).
Any Suggestions?

Anyone correct me if I am wrong but the ROM you are running has nothing to do with LTE connectivity. Its the radios.

Battery life is great and let is perfected better then sense it depends on what you use your phone for your

[Q] Need Help - Stuck on 1x Signal on Das BAMF 2-4.01

I came from Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; performed factory wipe/data reset, wipe dalvik and wiped cache. I flashed the GB Radio via Hboot (update=yes; then updates by doing 2 things, then hit power to restart). I then flashed the ROM.
The first two (2) times I flashed 2.0-4.0 and could NOT get Wi-Fi to work, but I had 3G working no probs as well as GPS. Went out for a couple hours and had no issues. Got Back, and I still could not get Wi-Fi to connect. I reflashed radio..no dice...re-downloaded the ROM, did a complete wipe and reflashed both the ROM and radio. Still would not connect, even after I downloaded Test7 kernel (kernel shouldn't mess with my mobile connection?).
I then went and downloaded 2.0-4.01, and now I can connect to Wi-Fi. Now the problem is that I am stuck on 1x Mobile Data and cannot get 3G. I've re-wiped, reflashed and downloaded Imeseyons new kernel..still stuck on 1x. I have even tried toggling Airplane mode, but cannot get it to 3G connection.
Any ideas?
Dunno if it will make any difference but flash the rom 1st then either battery pull or adb into hboot to flash the radio. Maybe others can confirm if this might help or not.
Not sure if this is the root of your problem, but the directions given by the developers of these gingerbread roms indicate that you should put the rom and radios on the root of sd card, flash the rom first in recovery, don't reboot, get into hboot via adb, then let the radios flash, and reboot. It sounds like you flashed the radios first, and then the rom. Maybe this is causing your problems?

Don't think so, cause I have tried both ways. Also, in Ad's posts he recommended both ways.
Either way, if I botched it the first time, it doesn't make sense that with the same radio I was getting 3g but no Wi-Fi, but now I'm getting Wi-Fi and no 3g.
I reflashed back to Remix 1.6.3 and have 3g+Wi-Fi right away.
And 3g returns..On 1.6.3.

When I wiped and reverted back to 1.6.3 I lost a Superuser file. I decided to re-root and start from scratch.
Re-rooted, then flashed 2.0-4.1 and let it startup. Then shutdown and went into Hboot and flashed GB ROM. Went through a normal startup and I had 1x which after a couple of minutes turned into 3G, but very laggy. I then flashed Imo's 2.5.4 kernel and re-started. 3G came up and speeds were just fine.
A lot of work to get BAMF to work, but I'm happy. Now working on adding Launcher Pro, Fancy Widget and a few other personalizations.

[Q] Network issues after flashing CM10?

*Used the search tool first - no joy*
Running CM10 Stable - current config:
UNLOCKED (HTD Dev)
S-ON
HBOOT-1.19.000
RADIO-1.12.11.0809
Since flashing CM10 this weekend, my mobile data has gone in the toilet. Network/"no connection" errors and gray bars way more often, despite not changing a thing about my radios. Weirdly, if I turn on wifi, it seems to improve my reception as well (as in, I'm not on a wifi network - just the act of switching on wifi somehow gooses network performance, but only a little.) I haven't done better than two blue bars since I did this, and I've only seen "4G" once. I used to get far better than that.
Checked Settings, everything seems fine. Thoughts? More data needed?

Thanks - do I need to re-lock as part of this, or simply flash Sense, re-provision, re-flash CM? Just want to keep this painless.
You don't relock
(n00bish question alert) Is there a way to re-flash Sense from a .zip with TWRP? Trying an ICS RUU executable linked elsewhere in this forum and I keep getting "Error 155". Will anything Sense-like work, or does it have to be stock?
Any sense-based rom will work...and you're exactly right: grab the zip and flash through twrp. Make sure to do a nandroid of your current rom first so you can restore after you're done.

[Q] Help, phone won't switch to 4G, stays on 3G data now after ROM swapping...

Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's.

U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7

Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

Using latest NuSenseSIX-MAX ROM, Won't stay connected to LTE

After trying several ROMs that would not connect to VZWs LTE network (Cyanogenmod, LiquidSmooth), I decided to go for a stock-ish ROM: NuSenseSIX-MAX which is an HTC One port. It installed without a hitch and says its on LTE but then after about 10 minutes, switches to 3G and won't go back to LTE unless I reboot the phone, and after 10 minutes, back to 3G. I installed the latest firmware and baseband (1.02.01.0207) so that isnt the issue. Anyone experience this? Have any ideas?

Any luck finding a fix? I am having the same issue.
You guys need to flash a stock recovery and perform a factory reset with the stock recovery installed.
Many aosp roms corrupt the NV radio partitions and nothing will fix that except stock recovery.
So back up anything important on the device, grab the stock recovery, load it up.
Then either from hboot, or rom settings menu, or from stock recovery (exclamation point/phone image/volume up+power to get menu) factory reset.
That will fix the NV radio partition that corrupt.
Then you can reflash a custom recovery and set back up your rom.
This is the only true fix for this issue.
Yes RUU will fix it too because it does the factory reset with stock recovery as well, but that's not necessary, just having the latest firmware, stock recovery and doing the reset is all it takes. :good:
Same rule applies on the m7 and m8 as well...

Number one cause of the problem: Aosp roms
First thing you went and installed after fixing the issue: Aosp rom
I've been having network issues as well for a couple of months now. I think it's actually a Verizon issue as I just got a certified replacement device that's having the same problems as my old device. The issue seem to have coincided with the latest update/as well as Verizon's switch to xlte for certain phones. My signal strength/bars is a lot weaker than before. I also have a lot of drops to 3g and 1x in a 4g area that seems to have trouble switching back to 4g. When I called to report the issues/get a replacement device they said that they are aware that many DNA users have been having issues since the latest update. Hopefully we get another update to fix these issues. Also I've never loaded anything aosp on this device. Just stock and viper.

I had this issue for a very long time. Couldn't stay connected to 4G to save my life. But as Santod said, you need the stock recovery and stock hboot, then do a factory reset from hboot. I have been connected to 4G for the last 3 days since I fixed this prob. Now waiting for my new sim tray. I actually RUU'd to stock 3.06 and still had little to no 4G. Factory reset and instantly connected to 4G. Gave it a whole 24hrs, no issues or disconnects, then weaksauce and firewater. Now back on Viper and I haven't seen 3G or 1X for 3 days and counting. Hope it helps.

Ok, so I flashed stock recovery and stock hboot and did a factory reset from hboot - however my previous rom still loads... shouldnt the factory reset delete the rom? I'm not sure how to verify the factory reset worked.

Factory reset only erases /data (without wiping /data/media) /cache and resets NV partition.

Wifi and Cellular Data Problem

If my Droid Incredible 4G LTE is connected to Wifi, it disconnects from Cellular Data. When I leave where ever it is connected to WifI, it won't connect back to cellular data. I have to turn off Wifi, then reboot the phone. I haven't tried something like switching to Airplane mode, I will try that. Has anybody else seen this issue? The phone is on Straight Talk Veriozon network, so is using SIM card for 4G LTE and CDMA for voice.
Are you stock?
No. Probably would help to mention that. S-OFF, partitions swapped and rooted CM 1.2.1 FWIW, this was happening with CM 11.2 before the partition swap. It wasn't happening before I did S-OFF and flashed CM 11.2 but I was also living in a different location for several months. It didn't start until I moved to where I am now.
I would try to do a clean reflash and see what happens.
I will think about that but I did a clean install when I did the partition swap and flashed the new ROM. I'd rather not do that again and have to set the phone back up again.
Today it seems to be better, I moved from Wifi to out and about and it switched to LTE properly.

I may have to try the reflash after all. The problem's gotten worse and now as of yesterday and today a reboot of the phone isn't getting me cellular data back. This did not start until we moved to a temporary place where I get voice service but not data at home. So the phone spends a lot of time on Wifi and not in a place where it can get data. So I'm wondering if the Verizon network is somehow forgetting about the phone or somesuch. At my old house, it was connected to Wifi but the data network was always available. The phone is S-Off with a custom bootloader and recovery. Assuming I wanted to try, can I put the stock ROM back on it without undoing all that?

If you want to go to stock, you will have to reverse the partition swap.

That part I understand. What I should have asked was "if I want to go back to the stock ROM, do I need to undo the custom recovery, relock the bootloader, go S-ON, etc? Any other ROMS besides CM I might try? That could tell me if it is the ROM or not but, again I did not have this issue until I moved to an area where I can get voice, but no data.
You should be able to remain s-off. here are the stock packages if you don't have them, http://android.cmphys.com/stock-fireball/

Thanks. I will grab a stock ROM. I really like CM 12.1 (and the swapped partitions) though. I was able to get the phone back to cellular data this morning while I was on a chat with Straight Talk. Why a reboot worked then but not the 3 other times I have no idea. I'm also wondering what happens the next time this happens if I go into APN settings and change it to one that doesn't work, then change it back.
Over looking at the stock ROM downloads I see a link to this patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/93484/
The ROM I am running now was built on 05/26. I see a newer CM 12.1 ROM dated 06/12 that contains that patch so I will flash that ROM, probably next week. I'm on call this weekend and don't want to risk bricking the phone.
I'm running the 6/12 build and it seems happy. I only run my Fireball on WIFI since I switched to AT&T and have a Nexus 5 for my primary.

Ive thought about getting a new phone on a GSM network but where we are building our house I can't get a ATT signal there, so I'm stuck with Verizon.
