I wanted to ask a question about this whole issue...

I am having problems with 3g data, but my problem is a tad bit different and may add to the confusion.

I tried to use Freeza's firmware update, it updated the Hboot to 1.57, and it did another update (which I can't remember now) which failed.

I installed ICS deck to my EVO 3D. But I noticed afterwards that I was at hboot 1.57 and it was re-locked but I kept s-off. So I downgrade to hboot 1.4 so that the bootloader would stay unlocked. (I tried Revolutionary after flashing hboot 1.4 and if gave me errors, and it doesn't say revolutionary in the bootloader screen anymore)

Just :

eMMC-BOOT

JUN 8 2011,17:20:22

So there is a little bit of background. I am also having problems with not having 3g. Although 4g works awesome. But when I am not in 4g range (at work) it goes to 1x.

It happened after I got into the roaming guard settings (using minimalist text)... I don't show any sign of Virgin Mobile anywhere. Not in the call screen, not in settings, not in the about phone.

my kernel version is 3.0.16-g4211684

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

SMP PREEMPT

My baseband is 1.06.00.1216

my build number is 1.13.652.1 CL372137 release-keys

my PRI version is 1.42_003

My PRL version is 12119

It kind of boggles me that I have no sign of Virgin Mobile on my phone, but I am having the same problems... Also I used Roam Control to force roam while I am at work and I can get 3g on verizon...sometimes. (after allow data roaming)
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
I did the 2.17 fm and didn't change anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
its not going to make any visible changes... the 2.17 fm will rollback your radios to the version most of us had prior to taking the VM fm which screwed everything up... yes ur phone will still say VM but look at ur PRI and Baseband and if u flashed the proper way thru Hboot it should show a lower number.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
You probably need to do what other stuck on 1x have done. Go into EPST and refresh profile. After reboot, you should have 3G back.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
Baseband should read 1.06.1216, PRI 1.53_145 if the flash took.
[HTC EVO 3D] gunfromsako:
Mine is set to 0 as well... I never flashed the vm firmware. So that is what mine was set to stock...
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
The zip is ready to flash when you download it, no renaming necessary. Make sure you turn the phone off then go to bootloader. If you try to enter bootloader from the power menu it won't look for the zip.

Edit... I think I read you question wrong, nvm
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
I just loaded freeza's 2.17 and my base changed from 1.06.00.0426 to 1.06.00.1216, I still cannot open the Sprint NBA application, 3G is a little better and operator name is still VM. I guess I will just leave it as is till the Sprint release. Again, thanks Vision and chad you rock!!
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
mine reads:

1.06.00.1216

1.53_145
[HTC EVO 3D] diablc:
but my baseband updated... why didn't PRI update also?
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
It looks like what failed was rcdata.img or radio_cust as shown in hboot whilst flashing. You got extremely lucky as it appears your pri never changed.
[HTC EVO 3D] forceOnature:
I've flashed other PG86IMG.zip files just fine. I don't know why this one isn't taking. I triple checked the file name and storage location.

The bootloader outputs "wrong zipped image" under "Loading...[PG86IMG.zip"] when searching for the zip file.
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
K, here is a newbie question. Is leedroid tweeks 4.3.1 for this ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
4.3.1 will work on 3.6 sense roms (might be a few it doesn't work on but...) It's awesome!

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Can you maybe download another PG86IMG.zip file and try it? That's very strange. Maybe the file you have is bad?
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
K, I put "this ROM" and I am sure everyone is like "which ROM". I am running Virtuous RC2. Thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
I've loaded it up on decks 0.1-3.6 rom and clean DE 3.6 senseless and both work great! Not sure on Virtuous but wouldn't see why not. Good luck!

PM me if you need any additional help that way we don't "stink" up this one. LOL Sorry fellas.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Chad, did you have any luck finding a version number or anything with rfg_1?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Don't think he's been on yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] diablc:
Now I am having problems with roaming data... It roams and saying the operator name is 31000. It also will not data roam.

I am trying to update the PRL but ##EPST# nor ##PRL# is working.

I was able to take off the roaming guards...but still no data roam
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Did you get the PMG zip?
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Trying nandroiding and going back to a 3.0 ROM. I'm using nocturnal and can do profile updates but my prl won't update because I'm on 12119.
[HTC EVO 3D] mreyesems:
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. I downgraded my hboot to the eng hboot, even wiped out what i felt was safe through the fastboot oem commands and nothing worked to fix the virgin mobile eri issue.

At this point, nothing is messed up, my 3G works fine, my 4G works fine.. On my device, it's essentially a cosmetic issue. Just kind of irritating seeing Virgin Mobile all the time when i know damn well I pay for Sprint service.. I guess it's just me being anal about things..

If I figure out how to fix it, I will let you guys know.

:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
I popped both the dzdata_4g.hdr and a dzdata.img from a 1.13 RUU into a HEX editor.

The strings

Starting with Ct show up in both files.

From the HDR File:

Ct..(...........Ct..0...........Ct..8...........Ct..@...........Ct..H...........Ct..P...........Ct..X...........Ct..`...........Ct..h...........Ct..p...........Ct..x...........Ct..€.

Notice the 0, 8, @, H, P, X . . .

Here are some stuff at different offsets from that .img:

Ct..0....
Ct..8.
Ct..@...
Ct..H...
Ct..P...
Ct..X...

^-- Something is in there..

I don't know enough about it, but there.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Unfortunately it didn't exist until this update. It was a single dzdata.img not 2 files: dzdata_4g.img and dzdata_4g.hdr. It's the same concept how the sensation article states.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
this is nice to know, but we dont have a ruu yet so there is no testing this. the firmware we flashed wasnt complete and was missing stuff. when we get sprints ruu we will know for sure. this might explain the more free ram tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
People with connectivity problems should try flashing the newest radio (and wimax) that came before the ICS, then flash the ICS over it again. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes you have to do the intermediate steps, too. I can bet the people with issues have stuck with an older radio and its working out like ICS for the Droid 2. You had to flash gingerbread first to get all the parts in place for the update to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Look guys i simply took a file someone else uploaded and removed a few files that wiped your data. There was no evil intent, and i even warned about the virgin mobile thing. Fortunately for me, my phone still works fine even with the virgin mobile eri banner, which is easily changed. Hell, I'm not even in my home state at the moment so I'm having every opportunity to test 3g and it works fine

I don't know what to say but I sure meant no harm with someone else's leaked software. To be honest, the real sprint software will probably contain all the same files but tailored for sprint if anyone who is having problems wants to wait.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Exactly. We flashed a leaked rom with leaked firmware. If it was completely done, we'd have a release or a leak without problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronagis:
i keep getting "radio interface resource shortage" when sending texts... it sucks.

im on the ICS firmware, previously on 2.17
[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
Yes true, but if this is anything *remotely* close to what was posted earlier dzdata_4g.hdr flashed to a specific partition, even though these are 2 different phones, the logic should be the same. And for arguments sake lets assume there's no dzdata_4g.hdr in our previous RUU's because there's been no reason to ever change them? I mean we have a lot more partitions on our phone than the RUU has files for.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
You caused no harm to me! I love it man!:D
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Same
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Freeza, I did not mean to make my post towards seem like it your zip causing problems. I meant that the leaked firmware zip is what is causing it... nobody here had any harmful intents...
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
no harm, we wouldn't know much with out testing. this is part of the android development. i flashed it and i didnt have issues at all, other then my phone getting the black screen of death lol. but thats not related.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
I hope people realize that. You did this to help others. I appreciate and respect you and your work.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
what code is the phone throwing you?
[HTC EVO 3D] JoeLithium:
Try making a phone call. It might throw an error and connect you to sprint. A representitive will ask a few questions and give you a few instructions. Then your phone should work done. Worked for me. I don't know if they are logging some **** but, I have a completely working phone now with ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Happened to me when I flashed an AOSP rom way back in the fall. Connected and didn't have any problems any more. Probably having to do with sprint handling ICS phones differently or somehting.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoeLithium:
That or some sort of phone security. Phone theft has taken off nowadays.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Also for people having data problems, whenever I have them it helps by reseting your data profile. If you do ##data# enter your msl then click edit, then click on data profile, then in the top left click menu, and from there click restore. It'll reboot and handsfree activate. That usually fixes any network problems for me. It may or may not fix the text issues. ymmv :D
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
No worries. I'm sure we all knew that flashing something that was not meant for our phone could have some drawbacks. Your intentions were good, and you honestly tried to help others. Right now I'm out of the country, so I don't even know what sort of problems I have (or will have) with Sprint. For now, everything is working (like I said, network has not been tested yet).
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Don't know if this helps....found in via google.

http://pastebin.com/QZQ6urfF
[HTC EVO 3D] diablc:
i didn't flash anything else until everything is figured out... I figured that I got luck because I am not having problem on the sprint network... I am only having problems off the network. Unfortunately, I work at a hospital and I can only get the Verizon network inside. It wasn't a problem because I could data roam on Verizon and still get all my email...that's the only reason why I care... That and to tether so I can play Draw Something and skype my wife throughout the day
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Got ya. Well several people, including myself, have flashed the zip with success. I don't know the verizon pri number, but it may also require hex edit to be able to flash to it.

Edit:

Someone said our PG's didn't have rfg_1 and 2. But the PG86IMG_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304-signed.zip has them.
[HTC EVO 3D] HeckNoTechnO:
When you say flashed with sucess, you mean totally fixed the problem? Including downgrading firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
No no, just the pri
[HTC EVO 3D] HeckNoTechnO:
It really kinda sucks that you can't just RUU to stock no root and fix it. I am so Stupid :/, I am a flashaholic and I just can't quit!

I am very thankful for the xda community and everyone that is working on a fix for this. I will be glad to test if I can help. I have a 002 hboot 1.40 s-off phone. I did flash Chad's PRI fix and it stuck but I cannot text pictures.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
We're not into sexting anyways.......HAHA
[HTC EVO 3D] antonio824:
Speak for yourself! hahahahahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
This is funny to me, lol.... 1st paragraph says you think you're stupid for flashing something that needed to be tested, and 2nd paragraph says you'll be a tester for a new zip. Ironic, I'm in the same boat wit ya.
[HTC EVO 3D] HeckNoTechnO:
Lol

Yeah this is the corner we are backed into. lol And to think all for a 25gb Dropbox account.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
I have the same HW and SBoot version and just sent a MMS fine. If it matters, I loaded VM fw, loaded chad's PRI, then loaded back to 2.17 fw. Did a data reset via EPST. Seems like i'm back in business data wise. Still have the Virgin Mobile text but that's ok with me for now. Hope this helps somewhat. Sorry you're having issues.

Edit: on Scott's senseless rom at the moment...sorry
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Btw, when I saw you post I was worried that I couldn't send/recieve pic mail so I sent a pic to the wife and she got it and then sent one back, so I'm good there. I did that while roaming, ill have to wait till I get off work to test in network. I flashed VM firmware and chads zip on mikrunny.

Edit... I also restored data profile through epst and I flashed the 2.17, the thing is, on Saturday I flashed between VM firmware and the 2.17 firmware so many times that I don't remember which I flashed last.
[HTC EVO 3D] diablc:
So you think I should flash chad's zip and then flash 2.17fw? And then see what happens...

*update... I rebooted my phone and 3g data came back, after a while of walking around (my phone roams), I come back to my office and the phone is back to 1x again.

...what post # is chad's zip on?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
The link is in his sig. I say go to 1st post and click on the link.
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
gahddamnit.... im having roaming and sms issues. i hope someone can figure out how to revert this.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Did you flash chads zip?

[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
Hmm... Did u ##3282# data reset or ##786# phone reset after the fw downgrade and a Rom reflash? U should reprovision your phone to the network with the reverted radio/pri combo.
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
This is the the link to Chads's PRI downgrade:

After flashing the PRI should read 1.53_145. He made a typo error in his post.;)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Just download whatever update has hboot 1.40 and flash it. You should be unlocked S-Off and good to go
[HTC EVO 3D] jivany:
Where is hboot 1.04 I'm on 1.40 eng s-off and his fix didn't stick although it says 1.53_145. I'm still on 0642 instead of 1612 I believe. Iwent from 2.17 to vm to 2.17 back to vm then flashed chads fix on top all through hboot. Everything flashed successfully.? Still vm baseband o_O

[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I always jump the gun on doing these updates, and here I've definitely got myself into something that can't be reverted (yet?). Everything seems to be working on my phone, except that my data drops off every so often, and won't reconnect unless I manually disconnect and reconnect to the mobile network. Not a huge deal. I've noticed better data response (getting to pages quickly, and less timeout), but I still have the VM banner. Let me know if I can help in any way to getting things fixed. I'm on 1.40 HBoot, and running the stock VM ICS update.

Thanks devs for your hard work so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] nerv666999:
okay, so grab an RUU with 1.40 and that should be it? From your keyboard to the TechGod's ears, here goes nothing
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
if all you're trying to do is get back to hboot 1.4, you don't need to run an entire ruu. Just download hboot 1.4 and flash it. If you find xHausx's thread with the Eng hboot, you'll also find hboot 1.4 in the first post as well. Since you're still s off, toy can flash it no problem, guaranteed.
[HTC EVO 3D] evo bryan:
if something would happen in your area you could kick people off the towers that need the phone i work in ems and fire so i got 0 from sprint dont want to see this get abused

[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
HEY EVERYONE......guess what? I FOUND where the issue is.....its somewhere no one was looking....the rfg_5 partition lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
You can either flash the 1.4 hboot and re run revolutionary (here is 1.4 http://db.tt/Wi10Ynkl ) or you can run the 1.13 ruu and that'll put you on hboot 1.4 then run revolutionary. Or flash the 1.4 hboot then flash a recovery from fastboot and restore a nandroid.

Dude, you're still S off, no need to waste all your time running revolutionary again. If your phone still boots why bother running an ruu? Just reflash your hboot and be done with it man.

I suggested revolutionary because he doesn't have root. doesn't revolutionary give root along with s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] evo bryan:
he has s off just needs to unlock i did that too but i used htc so im 1.5 s off
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Revolutionary won't run, because he is already S off. He just needs to flash hboot 1.4, then he can just flash a rooted ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes, he's s-off, but why HTC unlock and void warranty when he could downgrade hboot with a simple flash and keep warranty.
[HTC EVO 3D] ruffneckZeVo:
I'm on Verizon Wireless and have had no problems at all
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Ahh ok, didn't know rev won't run if you're already s-off

The truck idea is starting to sound better
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
It could be ANY one of the img's that need to roll back.

Not just RFG's (even though those look likely with all the Virgin Mobile text in them).

There could be carrier code, set in the Radio.img or something.

Techiccally we want everything rolled back.

Or wait for Sprint ICS Firmware and hope everything is newer than the VM firmware.

I think Chad eliminated a bunch because they are the same as sprint 2.17.

I can live with the PRI rollback and go with no VPN until Sprint firmware rolls out.
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
If you look at Chads new thread you will see the risk I have taken and effectively destroyed my data! My 3D is junk LOL but i have insurance and am now going to erase the hboot to brick!
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Damn, so I'm assuming that if you're going to brick it then you must be pretty damn confident that whatever state your phone is in now, it's permanent? No undoing what's been done huh? That sucks man, sorry to hear that.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenpen:
thanks you sir
[HTC EVO 3D] undarated:
I applied the firmware and also stuck with VM on the banner. I was also having having issues with no signal and lost of data. I applied older firmware earlier today and it's been working fine all day with no radio interference errors sending text and data and signal have been normal. Still VM is the banner.

Im thinking the firmware changed my PRI

I just got my first "data call failure" today. it seems like it only happens when wifi is on (regardless if its connected) and I try to send SMS.

I have not had any other issues. I flashed your PRI fix and everything seems to be working great. I just hope when Sprint pushes the ICS update

the PRI version number is above 145.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
... Sounds like a great idea... Glad the insurance doesn't require you to answer questions like "did you do something silly knowing this would happen" and just charge you for it instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] RulingCzar:
I'm on Mean .1 flashed Freeza's no Hboot the day it came out. Only issue I've had is that GD banner and network operator showing VM. Also its on the dialer so I've been digging. It seems like there is a lot of crap in these ROMs pointing to VM as well as this last IMG file.

I noticed in the init.goldfish.sh file in system/app/ on the old stuff it referenced

num_dns=`getprop ro.kernel.android.ndns`

now it shows

num_dns=`getprop ro.kernel.ndns`

Let me know if everyone already knows this or I'm really stupid but could you setup up your phone to with what ever parameters you wanted to changing your directory # and "base" # O can't think of the word for it right now and even though it was wrong VM would let you connect to their network and proxy into Sprint and only then would Sprint stop the phone from making a call?

i flash chads firmware everything is working for me but the hboot changed to 1.57 and the bootloader is locked is says locked on top. how do i unlock it?

Flash any hboot you want

i flashed the ICS firmware and flashed deck's icsense. now, after reading this and checked, the only thing that appears to be kinda sluggish is data. i occasionally get error code 129 data call failure but overall it works.

i did freeza's flash but my phone kept PRL 1.42_003. current baseband 1.06.00.1216. says sprint everywhere except for the wimax thing.

im hw002, rev 1.40 s-off.

I'm still on GB 2.17 but ZR3D rom and with Leedroid Tweak under lockscreen I can change the lock screen Carrier text to anything I want (changed it to Sprint). What does his tweak does that the img cant overwrite? Sorry if this is double post....

EH doesnt really matter as long as I can change it. Thanks fro the PRI zip.
