what does dmesg say when that happens? or the log file in /data/wimax/log/? is your mac the dev mac or a real one?

notice its dying in authenticating. what is your /data/wimax/wimax_properties say for persist.wimax.0.USER-IDENTITY? im guessing its blank and trying to pass in a null variable
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Will have to check dmesg to see what it says, i flashed a modified image file to regain my correct mac address I might reflash back to the one that changed me to dev mac, and see what happens there as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
In my logcat I have:

I/Wimax ( 280): <DC> Try to establish a connection to DC server.

E/Wimax ( 280): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused'

Running the correct Wimax and MAC after profile and prl update
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Here's dmesg output

I have reflashed the other image, after which my mac originally changed to dev mac, so wimax_mtd outputs

At the same time, note dmesg, which says it's trying to load my real MAC address....

I am lost here for a minute.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mpa4712:
Can you post your img file? I have a feeling that if the old boot.bin and wimax_properties files are tossed back in there, it will work.

If that works, it means the root issue is still here though. For some reason or another, our 'assigned' MAC is being ignored and the img file is reverting to the dev MAC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
persist.wimax.0.USER-IDENTITY has nothing

[EVO 4G Android Development] mpa4712:
Redsolor,

At any point in all that **** you did, did you ever get the Wimax version to downgrade?
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
^^ This (missing values in wimax_properties) gets fixed when you update Profile and PRL, values get filler with correct username and password
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Yes, after reverting to original shipped RUU and then re-following the root part 1 & 2, I had wimax back to 4.6.2.2_v24722

I am going to take a break from this and resume testing in a little bit, with more logging of details, and what's happening when I try to do what.

Likely will revert to stock RUU again, and test all of the steps so far, to see what fails, and where.

For the record..

I have flashed damage 3.2.2 with no problems. In this order.

Flashed over 3.2 and had a few forced closes then, re-flashed but this time I did a wipe, played with it for a day, then flashed the caulkins wimax update, played with it some more for a few hours, THEN flashed the new .47 radio, played some more, THEN I flashed the patch, and everyting seems ok, minus for some reason webpages load a TAD bit slower, and sometimes, and, you know how if your mobile internet is being used, your 3G ICON lights up and either flashes up or down or both, well the other day it was goin back and forth then it just stopped. and the 3G stayed lite up, I was like WTF? so i opened up a bookmark then it told me that I had no data connection. After the 3G icon was lite for about 5 mins, my signal bars turned into an X. then signal just popped back up, my sig kinda sucks at my house though, for some reason if I just walk out side, BOOM full signal. weird.:rolleyes:

Easy way to check if your WiMax Mac Matches

So I have seen a couple of different threads on peoples 4G not work becuase of MAC address not matching the phone. Heres what I did to check

Turn on 4G (Even if you dont have it in your area)

then go to settings/about phone/hardware Information

you should see 4G MAC Address write that number down

then turn off your phone and pull the battery out and on the back of the phone you should see "WiMax MAC Address" the number you wrote down should match the number on the phone. If they dont the Dev's are working on this issue, but until then your 4G will not work (so I have read)

I do not have 4G in my area yet, but both of my numbers match, I will be going to a 4G area this weekend so I will report if my 4G works or not.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aldo37:
So when 3.1 comes out do you have to flash a new rom to 3.1, or is this just like a program install/apk type of thing right on the phone?

I sincerely hope that wasn't a serious question on how you upgrade to newest Rom

Really now? I just rooted my phone successfully for the first time on Monday. Installed this rom yesterday. I'm somewhat technically savvy, but no, I do not fully know the ins and outs of rom updates.

fallen check your wimax version by doing this

Go into "adb shell" and type "su", your phone's screen will ask for root permission, just accept.

Now type "wimax_mtd", this will bring up alot of info, scroll up to the top.

because I think you have the old wimax i dont think it actually upgraded.. I think your with me.. You and I both have working 4G on 3.2.2.1 but I think the reason for that is that we are both on the old wimax firmware from pt2 of toast. The reason I say is NO one else seems to have 4G on this rom... We both followed the same instructions and from what I can gather when we both originally flashed the update* it didn't actually update. -- you do have new radio just not new wimax I think?

I can 100% confirm tested several times-

If you do pt2 of toast root over again

Flash 3.2.1 of DC

Flash the newest radio NOT THE WIMAX

Flash 3.2.2.1 over 3.2.1 NO wipe

Update your profile and PRL - VERY IMPORTANT -wont work without

You will have 3G updated on newest radio AND 4G working on the old ... its dirty but it works 100%
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:
There is One floating around here that is titled WiMax_PC36IMG.zip (something to that affect) this is the one i used because the others that I flashed through recovery would not actually updaate.

If you find this one download and take the WiMax_ part off. Put on root of sd card and boot into bootloader. it should automatically dectect the file and ask if you want to flash then it will ask to reboot. After I did this I checked my version via wimax_mtd and the update took.

Cant test if it works as I dont have 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:

do you think it matters that i went straight from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2.1 no wipe?

Even easier:

adb shell wimax_mtd |findstr /i check

If you're on the new wimax (that zip flashed fine by the way, thanks. Updating PRL/profile right now) you should see this:

This is way off topic but I'm hoping for some guidance.

The alarm clock doesn't turn off with the volume rockers or any other button for that matter with DC. For me, I have to open ATK, and kill the clock. Before I figured that out I would have to pull the battery.

Normally at home that wouldn't br a problem, but in army barracks waking up early and some guys nit waking up or needing to be up at different times, it'll piss a lot of people off.

Just hope there's a quick fix for this or something on my own phone to resolve this. Thank you.

[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
here is what we have figured out tonight in one place

wimax_mtd should be at new revision. also the dev mac needs to be real. it falls back to some dummy one in some odd cases, you wont be able to connect in that case. bad mac starts with (00:16:08)

/data/wimax/wimax_properties has persist.wimax.0.USER-IDENTITY in it. This gets updated with your profile. it needs to contian your sprint pcs username/pass. If it doenst update profile and restart

when your turning on 4g run dmesg from adb shell. it should show a line saying its pulling mac from /data/wimax/Boot.bin. This also needs to match up with your real mac address.

/data/wimax/log/ has a logfile in it that is helpful sometimes.

if your mac address is off i dont know h ow to fix it yet.

also flashing regular radio AFTER dc seems to be key for some reason.

some people needed the 4g permission fix after all of this too. - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7012200&postcount=3493

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7017988&postcount=246

Your lookgin for persist.wimax.0.USER-IDENTITY inside of wimax_properties. this is how you auth to the network. it should be set not just a space after it.

/data/wimax/log/sequansd.log will tell you exactly what 4g is doing. It for sure it needs to say provisioning => ready. your also looking for any kind of errors in here after it. it should tell you what the problem is connecting...

dmesg is also very helpful while connecting. sequansd is verbose by default so you should be able to see whats up
