[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I can understand that. Trust me. I have been working diligently with Unknownforce to fix this, and let me tell you--this guy is full of ideas and is just awesome about trying to get this sorted out.

Let me give everyone a small summary of what happened based on what Unknownforce has already said:

So, I've been testing a fix he came up with that pretty much patches the radio back to what it was before the VM firmware. Great idea right? What had to happen was ...since I happened upon two phones for a short time, I had to sacrifice one by extracting the radio partition (19) before the VM update, then apply the VM update and extract the partition again. This allowed him to compare differences and go from there. Brilliant strategy and it worked out well for the most part. However, in my situation, my 3G managed to get pretty messed up and some other things. Let me explain:

My 3G got to the point where it would take forever to turn on after a reboot, trying to use it would either make it disconnect, or bring my signal bars down to 0. Strange. PRL updates didn't work--as in, PRL updater wouldn't complete because of 3G disconnecting when trying to apply, manually flashing them didn't fix the problem, changing radios didn't fix the problem, reflashing vm firmware didn't fix the problem. NOTHING did pretty much. Now that I've learned Rydah is having the same problem and he hasn't even tried Unknownforce's fix, I'm starting to think it's not a hardware problem, and is not in anyway related to Unknownforce's fix, but is probably related to us trying so many things before hand to get this VM problem solved. Is it fixable? Good question. I will be looking into that. So far it's an isolated incident with mine and his phone.

Back to the fix. I applied it yesterday and to my surprise a few things happened: Sprint banner is back! Custom banners in CDMA workshop work as well. Bonus feature: life timer was reset to 0, reconditioned status reset as well. It's like a new phone. All 0s, including MEID (which is not a good thing). Recap: MEID got changed to 0s, everything pretty much got 0ed out. Now I'm not sure that this is because of my 3G problem or what but that's what happened.

Good news? Well, I managed to change my MEID/ESN back to what it was even with the fix applied and to my surprise, everything worked as it should--minus 3G that is. That's still messed up. But, Sprint banner is back, PRI is back, PRL is updated (manually), Radio is back, no traces of Virgin Mobile are visible on my phone.

What's next? A few more testers I assume. To see if it is really an isolated problem. I'll tell you this though, S-OFF makes bricking and recovering very easy. I've learned that you don't need to repeatedly flash the 1.13 software if you're already S-OFF and are bricking.

What's next to try and resolve mine and Rydah's 3G problem? Well, I just had an idea. I have the radio partition from the other phone I had pre-VM firmware update. What I will do is flash that onto my phone, which will give it all that phone's info. Then I will change the ESN/MEID back to what it is on my phone, and then see if 3G works. This will give me a radio partition untouched by the VM firmware to work with. What I should have done is backup the entire phone's partitions before applying the VM firmware, but I didn't. So if the 3G problem isn't related to the radio partition, then I'm kinda screwed. :P

There you have it people. Expect more news from either myself or Unknownforce sometime today.
