Does your 4G reconnect automatically after losing 4G? I have to turn off then on 4G for it to reconnect. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] rehh:
I'm exploring the root directory of my phone, there is no data/misc/wimax folder, no "data" folder located on the root dir.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zugnokorr:
You just want to change the file extension.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Well hot damn. I followed everything in Treve's post #2. I have 4g again. For me, the permission fix was necessary. Before I applied that: No 4g. After I applied that: 4g. I'm never messing with it again. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
well I went back to a previous nandroid and I confirmed that mytree.xml had no permissions set to it like my current one does (the one that was recreated after step 10) so that's good.

My only remaining issue is my inability to edit /data/wimax/log/sequansd.log /sdcard/sequansd.log since flashing flipz 4g fix.

Can anyone that did the 10 step process do this without running into a permission issue?

# cp /data/wimax/log/sequansd.log /sdcard/sequansd.log
[EVO 4G Android Development] J3wBaccA:
hey sorry for this completely off topic comment but I just installed v3.2.2.1.. everything seems to be working great, however where the hell did the voice mail app go?? Is it not included in the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zugnokorr:
If you are using ADB, you dont have to be in a specific directory. Alternatively using the app "Root Explorer" you can navigate to the /data/misc/wimax directory
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Yup. It finished. Putting on SD and flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apristel:
Damage or TrevE posted that you probably don't need to wipe coming from 3.0 to .1 ... but ymmv
[EVO 4G Android Development] VoXHTC:
I always wipe, otherwise it burns later on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
My DL is crawling from the site, the server must be getting hammered. Anyone got a mirror? :)

Edit: Saying like 35 minutes to download...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vandam500:
Yeah I always wipe too since contacts,calendar,etc is saved via Google and we can always use Titanium backup for the apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KShermPhoto:
I tried Titanium Backup when I first flashed and it didn't work for me. Seemed like it was copying my apps back, but didn't. Any other options out there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
I'm gunna wipe too, I just hate having to reset my home screen every time...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Any good reason why the download isn't also in Torrent form?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timgt:
Mine has been stuck at the 4G logo for like 5 mins. I know its de-odexed but now im wondering if I got a bad flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Im backing up my Apps. I forgot I had to do that. Oh well. Better late than never. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crackbone:
I'm flashing now, i'll let you know if I wind up with the same issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brianb7590:
Most likely for version control. They can pull it down and change it whenever they please if they have some hiccup in the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apristel:
Mine went fine..without wiping too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VoXHTC:
Stuck in a BOOTLOOP /facepalm
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
you just cleared dalvik (not data) right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Stuck on Bootloop. Great... Maybe it has something to do with Wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crackbone:
Mine went fine. No wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VoXHTC:
I wiped everything too. system/data , cache, dalvik-cache..
[EVO 4G Android Development] damageless:
Your download likely got corrupted or something. Redownload, re-wipe.... I tested everything myself last night.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VoXHTC:
Ya, I'm doing it now. *fingers crossed*
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Nope. Had to turn off/on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
you have it banned in banned apps: sprint vvm
[EVO 4G Android Development] J3wBaccA:
...wow don't I feel stupid. haha thanks man!

btw I installed Calkulin's latest radio and wimax update from the 'all radios' thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

dont have 4g here but my mac address is correct and everything seems to be updated and working great :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
don't feel bad, how do you think I found out? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
yeah i think were all experiencing that... damn WELL at least we have 4G haha maybe just going back into settings and pushing scan would do the trick? anyone try that yet ill try later
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Screw it. I'm just happy to have 4g back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
There's a scan option? Other thought, maybe try reflashing 3.2.2.1 overtop?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
yeah just go to 4g settings and push menu than option for scan
[EVO 4G Android Development] rehh:
Thanks

Downloaded root exploer, was easy to browse into /data/misc/wimax

tree.xml had the right mac addy, renamed to .xml.orig, when I rebooted in installed another file with same name and mac, still no 4g for me though.......

Doing the same thing it was, will show 4G connection on top of screen for a minute on reboot but then will go off and back to 3G

EDIT........ after renaming the xml file, I updated PRL and profile, 4G now connected for a few minutes!
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
This Rom is the best
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Hmm, not seeing the option, I press menu and nothing pops up. I know wifi does what you're talking about. No biggie, I have 4g, toggling it on/off is no big deal.

I don't if anyone else has, but the battery drain from 4G seems really reduced compared to what it was with the older version. 3G seems to also be playing a lot nicer as well, at least some of time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Similar problem here... When I go into Root Explorer, the Mimax folder has the 001608.... MAC Address, I renamed it to "mymac address.tree.xml.orig" back out of root explorer, reboot, try 4G, with no luck. I go back into Root Explorer, it has another file named "001608...tree.xml" in addition to the corrected one I added.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devgrp:
I'm on 3.2.2.1 and my 4g works with the old wimax files. with the new one its just scanning. Flash the old files and now it works again. This is the file I flashed EVO_WiMAX_24722 from the [Radios] All EVO Radio & WiMAX Radio versions thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
You've got a bad MAC address, look here for help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715525
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Just wanted to thank everyone for the hard work that went into fixing this problem. After deleting the tree.xml, I was able to connect to 4G for the first time in days (in an area which has not yet experienced an official 4G launch). Someone should make a new thread for this so we can keep talking about DamageControl here and so people who don't run DC can get on board with the fixes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rehh:
yeah thought I had it fixed but 4G is still going on and off like before
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Hmm. Apparently not everyone that reflashes has to flash radio again and do the whole process. But why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zugnokorr:
Yeah, that file wont help if you have a bad MAC, which it sounds like you might. If that xml file is 001608 or whatever, that is a bad MAC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudewithnofood:
Still no 4g for me :/

I've got the correct firmware, radio, MAC, updated PRL and profile, applied the wimax fix, deleted the .tree.xml file. I'm runnign DC 3.2.2.1 and everything is working fine except for 4g. Any ideas? Suggestions? Let me know if there's any additional information I need to provide
[EVO 4G Android Development] J3wBaccA:
soo i enabled the wireless n option and now i'm in a boot loop lol. I knew I shouldn't have but I wanted to see what would happen :P now I know. Should I just reflash the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rehh:
No my xml file matches the wimax number under my battery.

Every time I reboot my phone 4G will connect for a minute or two and then go back to 3G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Same issue here, redid everything from start to finish, re-rooted, re-flashed, compared all the pieces, everything seems to match, but no dice on 4G

It scans, tries to connect, then turns off, turns on, and the process repeats (seems indefinitely)
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
I beliebe the issue is not with permissions on the log files, but on cp. Try using mv instead of cp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Packk01:
Noob question

I have looked through the thread but haven't seen this question answered. Assuming everything is correct, ie. correct MAC address, correct radio, correct wimax version, deleted the xml file etc. but I am not in a wimax area -- what should happen if I turn on 4g and (assuming 4g is working correctly on the phone)? Would the phone continue scanning for 4g full time or should the scanning stop at some point?

I apologize in advance if it is a dumb question but I am just not sure what I should be looking for on the phone in a city that does not have 4g. At this point, when I turn on 4g, the phone keeps scanning for 4g. I will be in a 4g city next week and I wanted to try some more changes if I know in for sure in advance that the full time scanning means that the 4g is still broken. (I understand that if the phone should be scanning full time in a non-4g city it does not mean that 4g is definitely fixed but at least it might be.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Don't know if this was already mentioned/resolved. The no permissions file is created by wimax_mtd. If you don't run wimax_mtd, you will have rw rw rw permissions (chmod 666 in linux)
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Yep, I am seeing this (4G currently not working)
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Try another profile update after you remove the tree file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Im telling you check the permissions of the xml file, change it to rw-rw-rw-
[EVO 4G Android Development] krosemm:
Pushing scan does do the trick but it's a pain in the ass if you're moving around with the phone. But no biggie I'm just glad 4G is back. I'm sure it's an easy fix and we can hope the devs will address this issue as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
i didnt run that...once i deleted the file i just turned on 4g thats when i got

rw-rw-rw-

so then i deleted it again and rebooted

then I got ---------

so i deleted again and updated profile with out reboot and i get ---------

so you tell me????
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Can anyone who successfully fixed their 4G post (or PM) the contents of their XXXXXXXX.tree.xml file as well as results of their wimax_mtd that are complete?

I think asrebel may be onto something in this post - looks like our profile update is not saved to flash, when it should be

You can hide all your username/password strings as well as mac addresses - they are not really important in this case, since I will need my own to test.
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
Peculiar to say the least. The only way I can create it on my phone is by running wimax_mtd

I may be having other issues along with all this heh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nief1313:
So i still dont know what this "geniewidget" is or were it is that is mentioned in both post#1 and post#2, but if anyone know any infomation about it, im curious :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sjwaste:
Has anyone tried the 4G / 3.2.2.1 steps in the OP from scratch? As in, from the stock RUU, fully rooted, with updates to the .31 radio and maybe an older ROM?

I had to go back to stock to undo this mess once, since there didn't seem to be a solution that worked. Am I a glutton for punishment to think I could go to 3.2.2.1 w/ the new radio and wimax and have it work since I'm starting over from scratch?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rehh:
my 4G icon will show connected but then when I open my browser or an app that uses internet 4G will turn off and go back to 3G, happens every time. Reboot and 4G is back on.

While connected to 4G it shows I have a IP and says connected to sprint and network provider

Is anyone else having this issue with the market?

Once I download an app, i get the "blah blah installation complete" message in the notification bar. However, when I go to my market downloads section, all the apps i have downloaded recently are showing the status bar "installing" still. The only way to get them to go away is to kill the market app and reopen.

Not a big deal, i know, but just kind of irritating.

I tried a search on this thread, but havent seen this issue yet.

Oh yea,

I tried a wipe and re-flash already. I forgot to mention that. Still having the same issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] redsolar:
No insight whatsoever...

In fact, your files don't even contain a password (or username for that matter).

Now I am completely confused...

After several attempts, including the most recent being Treve's post #2, I noticed an error in logcat. I can't tell if 4G is working, because it's not official in my city and not on near my house.

its normal somehow. reboot and its gone. it happens when you shut the radio off from what we determined earlier
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jonnei:
Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. As religiously as I've been following the OTA issues, I still missed that post. I saw DC and thought Damage Control. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] trentlythp:
Thanks!!!

I just wanted to say thanks to TrevE and all the others for their hard work on this 4G problem. That's the reason I love this community. I wish I could have helped but alas I am on vacation :D and apparently my wife doesn't like it when I am on my phone the whole time... Who would have thought!

Sorry for the worthless post! keep up the good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudewithnofood:
just did it again...still no go :/ I deleted the file, rebooted the phone, did the updates and nothing changed. I just noticed something, when I try to turn on the Internet Sharing option under wireless&networks it gives me "Error Code 67 .registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again. That also turns off my 3g but as soon as I uncheck the option 3g comes back.

I have checked wimax_mtd and all is correct.....

hardly patients of a saint haha i just have beer it makes everythin gbetter
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sirchuk:
Hey Ya'll,

Not sure if something is going on or not, but there have been an increase in the number of "problem" questions in the Q&A forum and they've got one thing in common tonight: Damage Control ROM.

I've seen issues from not being able to go back to stock, the phone acting funny including the screen not responding and camera suddenly not working, and one person can't get paid apps in the app store, no matter what ROM he flashes to FROM DamageControl. Just a trend I've noticed, might want to look into it since they're getting more and more complicated and beyond my advice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kshawn:
Ahh thanks again lol. Should have been obvious, cheers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beerock:
I started this crap today @2pm my time, tried to ruu back and ended up with a near brick when it failed halfway through fixed that with a re-do of toast part 2 got me booted then followed post 2 clean all firmware versions are good profile and prl updated.

even flashed radio with both Ra recovery and Koush, version of wimax shows up correct in the wimax-mtd......

Do you suggest I reflash the radio's again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
Curiously have you tried WiMax after restoring to stock, flashing DC 2.2.1 then radio 1.39.00..05.31?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
What a troll. I'm going to respond to everyone if your thread knocking dc.

Bootloader was updated with nw ota. Ur applying an old ruu and getting an errir, that's 100% normal you can't roll.back with ruu. Search the board for ducks sake, look at all the threads about rooting nw ota. This is there problem. Just flash another update zip first then u can ruu back.

Market Works fine. Camera one person had issue 2 build ago wiped and its fixed.

Read instead if blaming the most popular rom. Troll fail
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssgelm:
Anyone figured out how to apply Fresh's new vanilla lock fix? Apparently he fixed the broken power menu...
[EVO 4G Android Development] beerock:
actually never went back to stock just toasts eng build and then flashed .31 radio then wiped and 3221 w/post 2
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
Take /system/framework/android.policy.jar from his ron and push it with adb
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
Ok, the eng build should technically be fine enough. My thing for you would to try using DC 3.2.1 then radio 1.39.00.05.31 and see if your 4G works. If that does stick with that for now. Unless of course you're willing to try updating everything again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beerock:
I have unfortunately already updated the wimax should I go back on this too?......

I really dont know why I am worried about it as I dont use 4g much anyway, its just under my skin right now....since it is live in St Louis now.

Thanks for the extra options Cordy....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
Hey np, I try where I can. Also correct, you would need to reflash the eng build then dc then radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beerock:
yuk....maybe tomorrow or maybe someone will have a fix before.;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] codeman05:
Well, I just followed the instructions on Post 2, to the letter, still not getting 4g...stuck on "scanning". The MAC show in android has matched the sticker on the phone since the beginning, so I don't think that's the issue.

In short, here is what I did.

Flashed 3.2.2.1 (wiped)

Flashed New Radio

Rebooted, updated PRL and Profile

Flashed New Wimax radio

Did the 4G permission fix

lastly, ran the mv command on the macaddress.tree.xml

However, when I have 4G on, logcat shows

D/WimaxStateTracker( 269): GetAvailiableMs

over and over....and it remains stuck on "scanning"

When I turn off 4G, I start getting

I/Wimax (271): <DC> try to establish a connection to DC server
E/Wimax (271): <DC Connect> IO error: msg='127.0.0.1:8881 -Connection refused'

Rom runs great otherwise, nice work Treve.

Any suggestions on what I might do next?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
Reboot after mv. Try then if it don't work still update profileagain

The radio.off msg is normal. Check back.a page or too linked to another thread non root ppl get that too
[EVO 4G Android Development] codeman05:
Thanks for the info, sadly the reboot and profile update didn't help.

Guess I may end up trying to start over at the beginning at see if I get lucky =/

Hi all,

I followed the post #2 to flash to 3.2.2.1, radio, wimax. I can't test 4g yet. However when I am trying to use dcpowertop, it gives:

/system/bin/dcpowertop: powertop: permission denied

I think I see someone had this problem before too but I can't seem to be able to find it anymore. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong please? Thank you very much in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssgelm:
Care to elaborate? I pushed the file to my phone and everything seems to be working perfectly...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Krandor311:
Broke Gmail, Market, and Settings, had to restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JustinChase:
worked for me :)

I've noticed from following this since the beginning, failure to follow the directions is usually the cause of frustration, so I did my best to follow this exactly ...

I rebooted for good measure, turned on 4G, got a couple of results about 25% faster than any I had seen before :D

I figure it was a fluke, and have since been getting speeds in line with previous testing.

All in all, I'm VERY HAPPY at how well this worked, and even happier I took a "wait and see" attitude first.

Thanks to everyone that didn't :eek:

Seriously, thanks to everyone that contributed to making this work, it's really pretty amazing!

Oh, and I figured I'd try tethering, and the pre-installed application I had didn't work, downloading the upgrade from the market didn't help.

I uninstalled it with Titanium Backup, re-downloaded it, and am typing this from my laptop tethered to the EVO right now.

Very excellent!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
Yea i believe the fix permissions piece is screwing.people up. People.now have wrong perms on system bin shown above with dcpowertop. Treve should take this out of instructions
