I lost 4G after flashing Anthrax v2 Kernel and Warm Mod for ICS, the beta. I got stuck at the HTC screen so I wiped and reflashed the mod that I was using before that Vipermod 2.1.1 with the kernel I was using Anthrax and I could't get wifi or wimax to work. I did a nand restore and still wifi and 4g will not start. WTF?
It doesn't even know their MAC address anymore
4g doesnt work in any ICS rom yet.
Also, download Wimax Key Checker from the market and make sure your keys are still there.
But it still didn't work on Sense. Wifi magically stopped as well. And I can't find the app.
UPDATE: Just found out that ap doesn't work with the EVO 3D
Had the same issue last night and this may sound stupid, but I restarted my phone and all was well.
I am sure you already did this, but I figured I would throw it out there. (I am using steelROM with anthrax.)
Unfortunately, restarting does not fix my issue.
try wiping cache and dalvik again, re-install the kernel again, wipe cache and dalvik one last time for goodness, then boot again, see if re-installing the kernel fixes it.
I've ran across similar problems, usually a reboot might fix, if not, re-installing the kernel usually worked for me
Just reflashed twice. Restarting both. One like you said. And one without wiping anything. Still no wifi or wimax.
Sounds like you lost your wimax keys. Check with this app.

As he said before, doesn't work with the Evo 3D.
try a different rom, i remember flashing a new kernel and my 4g was completely dead. Flashed another rom and it worked again.....lost my apps but nothing titanium backup couldnt help with.
Did a complete data wipe, flashed rom and kernel. All is good. Thanks for the support guys.
The gist of my problem: Earlier today I successfully installed the latest CM9 from Joker (.0.7.0.0). Unfortunately, all wireless services other than WIFI were down (including SMS and telephone), and on start the phone produced an error about the com.android.phone force closing (or some such). I figured I had screwed something up, so I reflashed the clean stock firmware.
Since then (roughly 12 hours ago), I've been getting the stuck on the boot screen whenever I try flashing CM9. Relevant details follow:
Logcat doesn't help -- it tosses an error about the shell directory or file not being found (the exact error message escapes me, but I can reproduce it if need be).
I've tried formatting cache, data, and system, followed by a wipe (or two) on several occasions.
I've also tried flashing various versions of CM9 -- specifically .0.7.0.0 and .3.1. Both give the same result. I've also tried whatever version is in the KitchenSink v2.11 installer. Same result.
My CMW version is the 5.0.2.8. I installed it through RomManager (as opposed to the command prompt on Windows, which I did the first time when it quasi-worked). I've read that using v2 fixes this issue, but I can't find a live copy anywhere, so I haven't been able to try it.
Rather than going for a completely new install every time I bork something, I made a backup just after I finished unlocking and rooting the phone. I just restore that backup after each attempt, and it goes back to working fine on the stock Android firmware (3.whatever).
Any ideas? I think I'll try starting completely from scratch again and not using RomManager tomorrow, but if anyone can point out my error before then and save me a lot of -- hopefully not wasted -- effort, it would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Vash

Well, I got .3.1 working. Then tried to install .7 and it crapped itself again. Should I have cleared all the data/caches/etc. between the two?
Edit - I tried it again but this time cleared all the data between installs. It booted, but I got the same 'android.phone failed to start' message.
Edit 2 - Alright, I think I got it. I didn't clear anything between the two installs, but I installed each firmware twice without exiting recovery mode either time. It seems to be working (phone works, at least), although I'm not sure my 3G is working...

Joker's recovery is a zip file you can flash from 5.0.2.8 if you don't feel like hooking up to the computer and using fastboot. But 5.0.2.8 doesn't work right to flash roms.

Yep...already did that and got it to boot just fine. Now I'm struggling with poor reception. I've seen other users (different phones) mention radio upgrades, but I was extremely unfamiliar with the terminology. The phone seems to work okay, but I only get 1x reception for data.
Or were you actually suggesting to repeat the entire process?
Edit - Tried again, still no luck with 3G.

Before doing what i stated did you wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik)? Also, you still getting a forceclose upon boot or just crap signal? And are you on sprint or electrify?

well did you have 3g on stock? there's no reason it would go to 1x unless 3g is unavailable. the rom shouldn't cause it to go into 1x.

Yep. Despite popular belief, I'm not a moron =) I'm in the dead center of 3G availability for Sprint in my area, and with stock android I get perfect 3G reception. I've read reports of the same things happening to other people, but haven't found a solution yet. I restored to stock after making a backup to try updating the PRL. I'll update again when I find out if it worked or not.
Edit - Sprint just sucks, apparently. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225908
When I rebooted to stock I checked the radio status and sure enough, 1xRTT. Evidently I am a moron =p
There was something wrong with the phone afterall. To fix it, I did the following:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
You'll be presented with a menu. Go to Phone Information.
About halfway down the page, there will be a menu with a dropdown. Mine was set to CDMA. To fix the issue, I changed it to CDMA auto (PRL). I'm now receiving excellent 3G reception.
So my com.andoird.phone has been crashing constantly which means I can't even do anything without the stupid popup coming up. I believe it's due to a faulty application. Anybody had any luck on fixing this? (running CM10 test build on my Evo 4g LTE)
Secondary question. Is it possible to remove the app from fastboot USB or recovery? If that were possible I think the system would sort itself back out. Thanks in advance
First, which build are you running? There have been like an average of 3 builds a day since Sunday.
Second, they have seen progressive improvements on each build.
I suggest getting the latest build from IRC if what you are running is a day or so old.
Also there are a lot of great people in there to help if you stick around.

Did you get this sorted out? I had the same problem of speradic fcing on that from the latest buil at 8pm last night. I wiped everything and reinstalled. It fc'd continuously until I got through the setup with my turbo fingers.
Everyone will tell you the same thing. The builds are on IRC and so are the bugs. Deck has not made a fix for this bug. It is a known issue. Get on IRC and off XDA for these builds.

I had a variation on this same issue. Did a TB of my user apps and system settings (not system apps) from my flex 1.75 install. Full wipe, installed the latest 8/2 CM10 from IRC, phone started fine, got one com.phone crash dialog and then everything seemed to be fine. Did the TB restore and when I rebooted I was stuck in an endless com.phone and android.process.acore crash loop. Only clue I have is that I noticed my wifi was connected when I rebooted (since my settings were restored).

Pretty sure restoring system settings fro sense to aosp is a bad idea. It made it so you could not connect to data and that's why you had the error loop. just saying

I retried full wiping/flashing just restoring user apps, and while it didn't immediately go into the loop the same way, it still did it if my wifi was on and associated when I rebooted. It's apparently something to do with not getting data making the process go nuts.

Are you having the problem before restoring user apps? Sometimes I have found it best to re-install via market using appbak. Then once the apps are re-installed that way, just restore only the app data you need from TB, don't restore all apps/data at once.
I've been struggling with this for about a week and I am not able to figure this one out. I hope someone here can give me a hand.
I've unlocked my phone using HTCDEV and rooted using TWRP 2.4.3 gaining root and recovery access. All seemed to work well but every GOOGLE app crashes now on start up. I can't go to the market as it crashes "Unfortunately Google play store has stopped". It does this with all Gapps.
I've flashed the GAPPS through recovery since I can't access Play.Google. and it made no difference. I can't log in to Google accounts as soon as try it gives me "google account manager has stopped".
I've tried to RUU back to rom 3.16. but RUU fails to update the phone although the restoral screen shows the scrolling dots indicating it is updating, but it goes on forever. the bootloader shows "TAMPERED" "Unlocked" and this came after using FASTBOOT OEM LOCK command in an attempt to reflash the unit. I have tried to flash to other roms like CM10 but it only gets to the point of the spinning logo and just sits there and spins, etc. Other roms get stuck as well in the first boot up logo of the rom or give a black screen. I can use TWRP to restore the backup each time so the phone works seemingly ok except for anything with Gapps.
I assumed I can't not flash JB roms without S-off and I tried to use Dirty Racun to obtain S-off but I get errors with each step so gave up on that for now. I've resolved myself to sticking with the stock rooted rom but I can't do much without Google Voice which is my text and phone account.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I've searched the forums here and elsewhere for dozens of hours and have not been able to find a solution for this or any help that might help me "stumble" into a solution. I don't mind flashing another rom if I could get one to take hold just so I can get this unit working.
I think the TWRP recovery or a old verion of Superuser might have caused this glitch. I did the rooting and recovery using this guide here htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery and the provided TWRP would not accept any input so I replaced it with 2.4.3.0 and recovery then recovery seemed to work and backup/restore but still can't flash any roms successfully. I didn't notice Superuser v0.87 here as being old (my goof) and didn't get a more recent version until after the flashing was done. LIke I said, where I'm left at now is everything seems to work but anything having to do with Gapps just crashes on start.
Any help please?

I had this issue today when I flashed viper 4g ROM before doing my s off. I tried every approach and what I ended up doing is a factory reset, cache wipe, D. cache wipe, Android secure wipe, sd ext. wipe (I always do the wipe 3x in a row on each) then I reinstalled my viper rom (comes with the latest google apps) and off I go. Solved all my google sign in related issues. You could also try to locate a downloadable version of goomanager which will automatically check for the latest version of gapps that is compatible with your rom and download it. Doesn't need to have a google playstore link to work either.

dominicsdad, I'm going to check out what was suggested about Mean Bean but I did try several JP type GB apps, etc. None of them would restore the function. THis has been so frustrating. I'm a guy that can folllow the posts and the guides I read, etc., but not having the core understanding or depth shows it's ugly face for a non-connected guy like me. WHy did you do an SD wipe? That's where I keep my backups which have been the only thing that has let me get back from a few botched rom attempts. I will try the goo manager if I can find a flashable version since I'm locked out otherwise with any kind of app install. I was surprised to see the EVO LTE didn't have a file manager as I was going to try and just install google voice which would at least allow me to use the phone.
THanks!

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
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

I'll try the factory restore in the ROM and see what it does. (haven't setup the rom due to the lack of 4g)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17145857&postcount=2 found this and it seems like your towers might be experiencing something if they dropped from pure lte to this. like some equipment has failed and it has dropped to a lower communication lvl hardware wise. EDIT: when i meant factory i meant in cwm going to restore and restoring your whole backup(snapshot) of the factory rom that you made not in the rom itself.

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:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Original thread of the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236633
PS: This is the original verizon radio.

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.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
