Broken Radio - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hello. I recently used an app called 4G LTE Switch to try and toggle my LTE and I accidentally changed the radio band. Now the phone is stuck in roaming mode only and never switches back to sprint. I have tried factory resetting and switching roms. I am currently running HTC EVO 4G LTE SharkieRom 3.17 S-ON. The device is rooted and S-ON as I can't get it to S-OFF but thats a different problem. I would just like to get my radios working properly again.

Hey Fellas, i used Revolution to root my phone, i have since put many roms on my phone, the rom i currently have is shooter sense 3.0....i love the ROM its awesome, i am in a 4G coverage area and my 4G just says scanning but never connects, just says scannning, so i restored back to some stock rooted rom that i d/l online, 4g still doesnt work. so i then d/l the latest radio by Caulking or whatever, and still no 4G, just says scanning, oi am now back to the shooter sense 3.0 rom and still no 4G, and im in a 4G coverage area, how do i fix this?
Just used WiMAX RSa key checker, says my keys are there
Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
just updated to a new rom, sinister Rom, with the aggressive freedom kernel, says 4G is scanning, still, so what i did, i went and downloaded a stock kernel and used it on my sinsiter Rom, then is said "4G not working" so i put the Freedom kernel back, and now it says 4G scanning, but still no "4G!" symbol in the top left....
oh and 4G mac acddress is good too, just checked it.
where do i go now? i've tried everything

Weird 3G data issue..no 3G data w/LTE off.

I have rooted my EVO LTE using HTC Dev and S-OFF with Lazy Panda. I applied the De-odexed STOCK 1.22.651.3 ROM and 1.05.11.0606 radio. When I toggle LTE off, I have no 3G data, but with LTE on data works fine. With LTE enabled, "Network Signal Info" reports net type as EHRPD. With LTE toggled off, net type is listed as EVDO Rev A, with a data state of disconnected.
Can anyone help me here?
How are you even able to toggle LTE off?

But still no CDMA 3G data... :-(

I DO realize that leaving the phone in LTE/CDMA mode will solve my problem. But for battery life reasons, I prefer to leave my phone in CDMA mode only until LTE is "switched on".

HTC has already said there would be no difference with lte/cdma being on. It's not like there's two different radios on at the same time. Cdma and lte are both built in the same chip. Just leave it alone...no need for the tinkering.

Something tells me the "fix" for my 3G data problem will be wiping my phone and reloading the 1.13.651.1 RUU and waiting for the bugs to be worked out.
Call Sprint and have them reset your data connection.

There's no difference in battery UNLESS you have LTE connection. LTE will drain the battery a lot faster.
OP, if you don't have LTE, just keep it on. As long as you aren't using it, you won't drain any faster.

I suppose I COULD leave the data connection to CDMA/LTE, but that kind of defeats my initial question. I think I might go for a drive and see if it's perhaps just the local tower causing me issues, or if this "bug" persists outside my home turf.

After profile update switch Moble Network mode.

Did you find a fix?
I have found that after I update my profile this happens to me also. Same thing 2 phones rooted. or not rooted, s-off or not s-off. Don't matter.
Just switch to CDMA only if you updated on LTE/CDMA. Or switch to LTE/CDMA if you updated on CDMA only. This works for me, don't know why but it does. Every time! Also have found that after some time I can switch back and all is well.
Hope this helps

Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one with problems. As the saying goes, misery loves company.
As for now, I'm thinking I might just run run the RUU and go back to stock 1.13.651.1 (unrooted) for a while and see how things fare. I can "deal" without root access for a few weeks, and who knows, maybe by then the DEV community will have found a way to S-OFF the new 1.22.651.3 OTA update. I'm in the greater Boston market and we're due to have LTE switched on VERY soon. I'll save a Nandroid backup of my current s-off/rooted 1.22.651.3 in case I want to visit this in the future.

No need to s-on and ota update over this bro. Don't think an ruu will help, did not change it for me. Its not a big problem. And I think its a network bug not phone. But I have a right to be wrong.

You can do that manually by going into dialer and enter ##72786# then enter msl and viola

Well your ##72786# tricks seems to have worked for me. I can now freely switch between CDMA only and LTE/CDMA and my data connection remains constant. I love these forums...

Glad to be of help. It's a trick that us techs do when a customer does not have data or if it's being wonky

Ok so with my CDMA only & LTE/CDMA dilemma behind me, my phone is now switching the 3G on to send and receive MMS messages. This is the first time I've seen this with my EVO LTE. Previously my MMS messages were sent and received via WiFi, which was noticeably faster. DO you have any tips to help me in this scenario?

I have had the same issue and haven't been able to resolve it.
I had 3G up until last Tuesday in Minnesota and talked with Sprint. They tried to reset my phone and then tried to do the hands free activation and it failed. I flew to Dallas for vacation, turned on the phone and it activated in less than 30 seconds.
Returned back from Dallas and still no 3G in Minnesota (Minneapolis and Central MN).
I do have my MSL, but any tips on how to get 3G data back again?

4G not Working

I have an Evo 3D CDMA
S-off Hboot 1.40

I tried ICS OTA Radio, then 2.17 Radios.
Tried the ##3282# and edit the WiMAX from -82 to -110
Can anybody help me? It says Scanning..
Connecting to sprint...

I would imagine it's the network in your area. I've had situations where 4g wouldn't work at my house for weeks at a time, but worked fine in other areas of my city. Then it would just start working again and be back to normal. Have you tried on sense roms as well as cm9?

Knowing Sprint, I would say it's the network as well. Give them a quick call to make sure it's not the network. Also, make sure you still have your wimax keys, there's a wimax key checker app in the market.

Antenna

I have a recently upgraded my HTC Evo 4G LTE to
HBOOT 2.09.4444 and the Radio to 1.12.11.1210 from earlier versions.
But I have the same issue, the phone works great except for weak phone coverage, dropped calls, and missed called.
Is there a way to adjust the antenna for better reception, or do you have to take this to Sprint?
Will they work on a phone that is rooted and S-off?
What would they do when they see that I not running their ROM?
What should I do...
Thanks

AT&T LTE won't turn on

I've been back and forth with roms trying to fix this. I started in GpE and I could turn lte on but never had signal. I tried a newer radio and still no go. So I went to stock AT&T sense 6 with ruu and now I can not even enable lte. It immediately switches back to wcdma preferred. I am s-off if I need to use that, I just have the boot loader relocked right now. Any ideas?
EDIT: Just tried HBOOT 1.56.0000, multiple radios, and still does not work. I can use LTE, CDMA but haven't been able to test to see if that connects to LTE yet. I am completely baffled by this.
