:) It's not 100% complete yet. I still have to talk to Unknownforce about some things that are probably specific to me.

My 3G radio is completely messed up. Not from Unknownforce's fix, but from trying so many things that the past week. I do have a replacement coming in though so that's okay.

But at the end of the day, at least it works, right? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
do tell ......
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
All in due time, my friend. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] keejung:
so sorry if this has already been said, but if we go back to sprint frimware then we can't use the vm ics and have to wait for official sprint ics? or can we load but not use radios?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Well, the most important part for running ics is adsp, which was included with the firmware update. If you've tried to revert and/or flashed adsp from previous firmwares and can still boot ics, you're fine. This won't change your ability to run ics. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] keejung:
Sorry, but do you have a link for the adsp? I just flashed a all in one file that was linked in a thread... It wasn't broken up...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
You can't be flashing firmware files independently. We don't know if ADSP is dependent on other files.
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
If I am back to Sprint PRI, PRL and fw 2.17, can I flash to 2.08 to get rid of VM lockscreen and dialer banner?
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
No but does feel great to be back! They are real close to a fix.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
Been running 2.08 for 3 day now and finely got notice for update. My now I can Dinah and see if my pri reverts.

Yea me too fixing to go on vacation for a week, so if not today ill have to wait till I get back.
[HTC EVO 3D] wranglerray:
Just as a matter to simplify things.

Placing files on the sd card and renaming them PG86IMG is not nessicary.

You can use the fastboot command

fastboot flash zip filename.zip

fastboot will interrogate the zip file and flash the correct partition.

This will elimnate a reboot or two and having to remove the battery during the process.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Yes, this is true as well :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Thanks for being so diligent freeza and unknownforce, im sure you two have other things going on today being mothers day.

Ill test for you if you need another, the only linux experience i have is from downgrading hboot, the way it was done at first, i downgraded the same night unknownforce did it.

I was about ready to perform a mortal kombat finishing move on this thing but ill wait you guys out.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Lol! You don't need much experience. That should be enough. I will definitely be available or even wite up a read me if you should happen to be a tester for unknownforce.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Hey freeza my 3g is doing the exact same and I have had no problems with the virgin mobile firmware until now when this happened. I haven't done any fixes or anything just flashed vmfirmware. I have no backups of anything radiolike and prl won't update manually or by the settings menu.
[HTC EVO 3D] agrabren:
I'll work with Team Win to add a backup method in TWRP to protect all key partitions for a device. Let's protect against this in the future.

Great. This will definitely benefit everyone. Thank you :)

Interesting! May be on to something.
[HTC EVO 3D] sehven777:
Hi Freeza, the same exact thing is going on with my phone. since i have a backup old phone, i can test something for you guys as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Oh wow. This has to be a simple settings change now that most of us are partially back to sprint settings. Mswlogo's post may be the key. I'm going to compare values with a phone that's never taken the VM firmware.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryvali:
I have the same 3g issues. After following the steps in the op. I have to keep toggling mobile data to get it back
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Is my radio messed up? When I go to EPST and try to restore the phone it says radio no response can not enter low power mode. Any way to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
What ROM are you on?
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Right now I am on Virus ROM ICS3D Beta 3. I try to flash rooted stock 2.17 but it does the boot loop. It won't boot. The only ROMS that will boot are ICS ROMS. I tried all different kinds of stock 2.17 ROMS and they won't boot up it will just keep rebooting. Anything I can do?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Could be an ics issue. Have you tried stock ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Yes. I tried to flash stock Rom but it just reboots and won't boot up. The phone goes to splash and then the dimmed little red tight pops up and reboots again. But I flash ICS ROMS and it will boot up. So that means I can flash stock ROMS or else it won't boot up. Anything I can do so I can get stock Rom booting up?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Are you s-on?
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Nope. I flashed the 1.40 eng one. The weird thing is that only I can flash ICS ROMS not stock ones
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
So you can only install ics, not gingerbread. Do you have a stock nandroid, will it install?
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Yes. I can only install ICS. I have 4EXT recovery and it will install the gingerbread stock Rom but it will not boot. It will only keep rebooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Same thing happened to me, the radio was completely dead... If you throw a pg86 img ruu on your sd change to s-on and take it to sprint they'll replace it. The techs had no idea at all what happened haha
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Well, I called Sprint and they tried to restore it and failed.haha I didn't tell them I messed it up so they ordered a replacement. However, its on backorder and I don't know how long it will take. Maybe I should just buy a cheap phone for now until I get the replacement if I can't at least get voice and text working
[HTC EVO 3D] funkyboy1281:
my radio is shot as well but I'm keeping this phone and just bought another one on ebay. I'll just consider this semi-dead one as a test device for roms and such and also as mp3 player as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] bluerjb:
What is this virus Rom you speak of can you link me to? I kinda want to check that out. Thanks :D
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
It could be that you need to reflash the 2.17 firmware including ADSP.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayjam99:
I thought I had things all patched up (except for the banners).

Today i wake up and have nothing but 1X all day. Im in an area where typically I have a full 3G signal. Im ready to throw the towel in.

Has anything else been said about the unknownforce/freeza fix?

[HTC EVO 3D] :
Please keep note that you are to not flash files individually. Such as the ADSP img by itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Yeah, I forgot to say what recovery is best to use while flashing the stock Rom. Ok, I will try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
So, after comparing my phone's data profile to a phone that's never taken or tried to revert from the VM firmware, I can confirm what mswlogo thought and almost guarantee that our 3G issues are because of null values for our HDR AN Long UID information.

For those that have CDMA workshop OR QPST, you can verify this by connecting your phone and retrieving the data profile

If your UID for HDR AN Long appears to be 00000000000000@hcm.sprintpcs.com and Password or Pwd fields are empty, then there lies our problem.

It needs to read _your MEID_@hcm.sprintpcs.com and the pw needs to be encrypted.

I'm not sure how to get these values back because apparently clearing the data profile with ##3282#, ##786#, or ##72786# doesn't fix it. So here's what I propose, change the 00000000000000@hcm.sprintpcs.com to _your_MEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com, write changes, and reboot. This is half of the fix (FOR 3G), the next half comes with trying to get Sprint themselves to do a DMU reset on your account OR possibly the ##3282#, ##786#, or ##72786# reset methods will work now that your UID is actually valid.

Pending.....
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
The ADSP img will be included in the 2.17 firmware? Is the link in this thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Thanks. I will Do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I thought it was only in the new ICS VM firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Would this be in qpst service programming? I've got qpst up, how do I retrieve the data profile?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
You can get it from service programming, just read from phone, and look at either the data or M.IP tabs.
[HTC EVO 3D] wranglerray:
yes in the service menu.

Click read from phone and it will pull all the info from your phone.

MAKE SURE YOUR PULLING ALL THE INFO

FROM THE PHONE

IF CLICK WRITE TO PHONE IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING!
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
how can i find the 2,17 firmware with ADSP? I cant find it here or other 2.17 firmware. is the ADSP named something else inside the firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Ok, my profile 0 says "mymeid"@hcm.s......

Profile 1 says "myusername"@sprint.....

I should tell you that I took VM fw, modified pri, tried the downgrade once but it didn't change my pri, and my Msl has never changed, and I do have 3g.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Thanks.....yeah, for those of us with 3G problems, the meid@hcm would be a bunch of 0s @ hcm
[HTC EVO 3D] :
The image for 2.17 contains the necessary firmware. I'm simply telling you to not flash packages of the firmware individually. You should be looking for a zip that says all firmware no hboot.

Explain what you're trying to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
So this encrypted password you're talking about.. is that the AAA and HA shared passwords? If so, theirs a guide in development about downgrading hboot on a flashed phone and it has the steps to retrieve the AAA encrypted pass. Its kind of a chore to get it tho.

FYI, I weaseled out and got a replacement. Too much going on at work for me to keep up on this. But it looks like what I did see on the new phone might help freeza down the right path. By the way I called around to find a sprint store that had it in stock. Fantastic service !! I'm gonna upgrade my wifes plan and phone they treated me so good.

Anyway, an old trick I used to use to get Sprint to re-provision data on my phone was to change your accounts email address. I don't know if that still works. It's a "sprint" email address, so it can pretty much be anything.

P.S. Before I touched the new phone I backed it up with QPST ;)

I found AN settings in the PPP tab which show my user id the same as my meid, but the Password and Pwd fields blank. Am I looking at the right settings? And if so, what do I need to do since my User ID isn't blank? Thanks for the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
well, I did everything and it was a no go. I keep getting boot loops and it wont boot into gingerbread stock ROM. I guess the radio got messed up and wont boot gingerbread anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Explain what you did, step for step.
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
ok, first i downloaded the 2.17 firmware without hboot and then put it in the root of the sd card. I then went to fastboot and it was doing the update of the firmware. i then went to recovery and formatted everything. I flashed gingerbread stock rom 2.17 and rebooted. However, it keeps rebooting and it wont boot up. I went back to recovery and flashed ICS rom and it booted without problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryvali:
My passwords are also blank, my meid is all zeros. Do I need the original passwords or would the passwords from my wife's phone work since it is an untouched 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
my ppp tab shows the same as yours, user ID is my MEID@hcm.sprintp....

i looked in the M.IP tab, then in the user profile area, look at the profile 0 and profil 1. Beside those profiles youll see nai, make that column bigger to see what it says

do you have any 3g?

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

if its the passwords that im thinking they are, one of em is carrier specific, which means your wifes would work and the other is phone specific, which means hers wont work. i wish someone without 3g could try to retrieve the HA and AAA passwords to see if they can be found after theyre zeroed out. getting those passwords are an extensive process, i havent even tried it yet, but i have 3g, so i know mine are still there.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Sorry if you've answered this already, but you are s-off, right?

If you're on the same plan with the same password, it may work. I was looking for another EVO to try out the password on, but I don't have more than one untouched to compare passwords with.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryvali:
We are on the same plan with the same password, so I might try it to see what happens. Does anyone know the Sprint specific password
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
Its ok, yeah i am s-off. its weird that only I can install ICS roms and not gingerbread. My radio is not working and it wont let me restore the settings from ##DATA#
[HTC EVO 3D] phonetec:
Those passwords are specific to a device NAI, being the username@sprintpcs.com, you can call sprint and ask them for your "nai password" or wait until I go to work on Tuesday and I can get them
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I wish I could. I know getting those passwords back are a PITA. I called Sprint like 10 times today hoping to speak to someone that didn't sound like they were reading from a book. I was trying to get them to do a DMU Reset but they thought I was speaking in tongues. Anyway it was a dead end.

Strange. That could definitely be why; I mean if your radio is all borked. This ICS leak has been more troublesome than ...pretty much anything.

I would love it if you got mine for me......but aren't they encrypted? The phone I looked on earlier was filled with random extended ASCII characters.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
what was the last thing you did before you lost your radio? did you run an ruu from your pc?

You know the old saying... have to laugh to keep from crying
[HTC EVO 3D] JTOLOGY:
Heeeeellllppp!

Ok, I checked NAI .. I'm showing profile 0 as my meid@yadayada.. Profile 1 shows my name@sprintpcsyadayada. I don't know where the Password or Pwd field is in this setting so I can't tell if it's blank or not. I don't think I have 3g, I keep seeing 1x when I am outside. I have an airwave box in the house due to bad reception. I tried the steps originally posted and am sure I didn't do it right and have since put back hboot 1.4, 4ext recovery and team420 3.6 sense. Any help at this point would be appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:

It's an extra PITA to get QPST working on Windows 7 x64. Read the "Fix Volume Low with QPST" (not exact quote) Sticky thread closely. You have to manually assign the drivers to the device in device mananger. I had it all working and plugged in the new phone and I had to do it again !!

There is lots of detail about getting QPST working and you should not bog this thread down with all that. The other threads have a ton of info to get that up and running.

Since I have 3g data roaming and non and qpst and cdmaws seem to point to sprint, and I can do profile and prl updates, does that mean I have all my passwords and stuff?

Well, I did this and nothing changed. Nothing at all, but now I face a bigger problem.

I can't re-root. I'm still S-OFF, downgraded back to HBOOT 1.4, but no method works. Revolutionary fails to acquire root, flashing the superuser zip didn't work. I updated the binary, cleared data, and flashed the SUFIX.zip. I'm not getting SU FCs, it's just not working. I tried to install Busybox, but that also failed due to the lack of root permissions.

I'm at a complete loss here, and I can't seem to find anything online. Has anybody else had this problem, and more importantly has anybody found a solution?
[HTC EVO 3D] I_Am_Lorde:
You're already s off so no need for revolutionary. After I did this I flashed my recovery through bootloader. Then flashed Su via recovery and was good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
I got it. Flashed MeanROM instead of trying to go back to a Sense 4.0. It works now, I'm guessing Newt's didn't have the root files already, and was piggybacking off of something else. Meh.

Anyway, has anybody on the VM firmware had touch screen issues? I look at a screen test and it's registering 4 points in the middle when I'm only touching it once.
[HTC EVO 3D] bjones8515:
Yea i had them bad. It started on the 4.0 roms and continued when flashing 3.6. At bottom of screen having serious issues. I flashed Joelz latest cm9 and it is all working fine!
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
Continued on 3.6? Ahh, damnit. I thought it was hardware at first, but when I flashed back to stock to take it in, it was all good. I have a feeling it's bad drivers. I need my camera for work, so I guess I'll just have to live with it until an AOSP has a camera.
