did anyone who had their phone over 90 days, and did NOT have Sprint Insurance have any luck taking their phone back for this problem?

I was told that since I have had the phone for 4 months, I had to send it back to HTC to be repaired/replaced..
[EVO 4G General] markbo2000:
Yes, mine was over 90 days and they replaced it. I was unhappy with the one they sent because of a faulty or poor screen, and they replaced that immediately also. I did not have to pay deductible because it was under regular warranty.
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
This seems like one of the few good times to just admit you broke your phone, pay the $100 and get a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Possibly, I would have a hard time justifying $100 for a poorly refurbed phone over a few bytes of data though. Both HTC and Asurion would seeing a profit from taking your phone and being able to resell it with minimal man hours.
[EVO 4G General] TheNexxuvas:
Hmmm, I run the Terminal Emulator checks and everything comes back good, yet on stock rom I get infinite scanning for 4G...even while under a 4G repeater antenna in a Sprint Store.
[EVO 4G General] eyeballer:
Just wanted to add, after you use amon ra to make a nandroid. You might want to copy the wimax img out to your computer as well so you always have it, in case you delete old nandroids in a clean up (or copy the whole nandroid). I stuck the wimax img in my dropbox so I have a solid backup.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
the keys are only one thing to check when 4g goes wrong - there are others. Try this.

Make sure that 4g(wimax) is off. Then use root explorer to get to /data/misc/wimax. In that folder there's a file that looks like xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tree.xml - set root explorer to mount r/w and rename that file to xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tree.xml.old (just in case you need it later for any reason). Close down root explorer and try turning on 4g again. It will rebuild the xml and should resolve the scanning issue. You may need to reboot before turning 4g back on, but I didn't have to.

I am a victim to losing my RSA keys.. Just lost them the other day and had to get a new phone (thankfully I was in the 30 day window)

I just want to ask.. WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER USE CLOCKWORK??

AMON from what I learned does everything Clockwork does BUT MORE..

And actually AMON does the most important thing, protecting the one thing the devs cannot figure out yet...... the RSA keys...

I was actually very angry after I found out clockwork does not save the keys.. I have a ton of posts like every other newbie and not one mentioned this to me..

Honestly I think it should be a HUGE STICKY in every single forum here (EVO)

I never once messed with Roms or radios that has anything to do with the WIMAX portion, so some how, my rookie mistake or so, I lost them..

In anycase, glad this post is here, I will be telling any new rookie to use AMON now instead of Clockwork..
[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
I flashed 3.3 rom, with the radio that was listed for that rom.

I flashed superman theme and a font theme, I flashed 3.4 fresh and tried Kings #11 Kernel,

Flashed back to stock Kernel.

Tried 4G, lost my RSA keys..

Apparently from what others are telling me, I never once messed around with anything that should of effected my WIMAX image...
[EVO 4G General] SplitInfiniti:
This worked for me!! Thanks so much! I was getting aggravated with my 4G radio not working... I'm in Tampa and they just officially announced 4G was available and was getting annoyed with not being able to figure out why my 4G was broken and was dreading the idea of returning my phone... Now I don't have to!!

Thanks again!! :D
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Nice! Glad it worked for you :)

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] markbo2000:
Great to see that this worked, I will have to remember this fix.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
thank you so much for this. i was looking at getting an insurance replacement( i have bad pixels) and this was how i planned to to the backup/restore. thank you!!:)
[EVO 4G General] bretweb24:
So I used ROM Manager to flash alt recovery from Clockwork to RA v1.8

ROM Manger shows my current recovery as RA, but when I shutdown my phone, booted into recovery, it loads clockwork still?? Also tried booting into recovery from ROM Manager, asked if I was sure I wanted to boot into RA, but still loads clockwork???

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
just an fyi. If you see "Connected to sprint" in the 4g settings, that means your rsa keys are valid. 99% of the time, if you lost your keys the device will start looping after it says "Authenticating with sprint network" or w/e.

If it says connected to sprint and then disconnects, it means something else. It can mean that a widget is causing it to disconnect (some widgets some how over-ride the main settings), or that your xml file is screwed up.
[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
OR!!!! you lost your RSA keys..

Which is exactly what happened to me...

Mine connected to sprint and then disconnected right away..

Found out, I lost my RSA keys..
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
you sure? I'm 100% positive that if you lost your keys it wont "connect to sprint". Tested it on about 3 phones so far that suffered the same fate. All 3 of them don't go past "authenticating" part, which makes sense, since it can't authenticate with sprint because it doesn't have the keys.

Go through all the "fixes" in the other thread, you probably have a screwed up xml file or something.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
well, I get "connecting to Sprint", but it never does..it goes right to "scanning" after a second or two..

I know my RSA keys are gone; I tried the terminal emulator "check", and nothing came back in the RSA Keys section...
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
you are probably going to be excited when I tell you that you still have 4g. The terminal command doesn't work on the terminal emulator. You can only "check" for the keys using adb.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Which command are you referring to? This;

su

grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0

works on terminal emulator - if you see begin private key and end private key with the lines at the end, that means you still have your keys...
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
yes. and it didn't seem to work before. idk, but i tested and works now. Before it displayed nothing. It would just show

<rsa>

</rsa>

And I think that's what wase4711 is referring to. "Nothing came back in the rsa key section". Sounds like that's the output he got.
[EVO 4G General] sleekgreek:
How did you do that?
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
I do NOT get these two lines when I enter the command in Terminal..

"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"

any idea on how I can get 4g to work again?

I've tried everything listed in the beginning of this thread, and the other 4g repair thread..
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Sorry, but I'm pretty sure without those lines, you're SOL.

At the bottom of rom manager, there's an option to flash alternate recovery - that would be amonra
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
I know, but the OP seems to feel differently...I wish there was another way to confirm this, either way..
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
well I thought you were talking about the

<rsa>

</rsa>

thing. But I still dont get how your phone goes past authenticating with sprint, without any kes.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
yeah, me either..

plus I spent an hour yesterday with a level 2 tech support guy, trying to get 4G to work, and he tried everything he could on his end, and still nothing was fixed..
[EVO 4G General] bretweb24:
I could not get ROM Manager to switch over to AMON RA either. I installed terminal emulator on my phone, followed the adb commands listed on the AMON RA thread and it worked like a charm.

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
what worked like a charm?

Getting Amon to install, or fixing your 4G?
[EVO 4G General] bretweb24:
getting Amon to install over clockwork. It seemed the guy was having the same problem as me, not getting Rom Manager to switch recoveries.
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
It's because you typed 'rsa' instead of 'RSA'. It is case sensitive... unless you use grep -i.
[EVO 4G General] Shinzul:
I just rooted using unrevoked, flashed CM6.1, and I still have my RSA keys...

What would cause them to get clobbered so I can avoid that?
[EVO 4G General] takeheart:
According to the Terminal Emulator, my keys are still valid, and the renaming tree.xml trick did not help, either.

This is a brand new Evo that I rooted with the 2.02 HBoot process and loaded Myn's ROM on with the stock kernel. 4G just sits at "Scanning" forever - it NEVER tries to connect to network, and I have "Notify me when 4G is available" checked and it will not even detect networks (I'm in NYC, and the places I have been testing consistently had networks available)

Any other ideas?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Doesn't sound like any screwed up 4g. Maybe an outdated prl or wimax. Unless it scans, and tries to connect but disconnects then nothing wrong with xml, hwid, or keys.
[EVO 4G General] takeheart:
Yeah, that is what's confusing me. I returned my original Evo because it did the scan/connect/disconnect loop, but this one won't even find service. I'm running the PRL and WiMAX that flashed from step 20 in the Hboot 2.02 post, but I don't remember whether I've tried to manually update profiles/PRL. Maybe I'll give that a shot.
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
This was the same issue I was having... Nobody could give me a straight answer, probably because nobody had the same problem as I did...

I ended up restoring the phone with a PC36IMG of the newest RUU, (hboot 2.02, even though mine wasn't.), rerooting, and all was fixed. 4G only worked on my stock nandbackup. Now everything is great, but it took me about a week to figure it out.
[EVO 4G General] sleekgreek:
thanks for tips on amon...... I had switch pro on my phone and it interfered with my 4g, uninstalled and was fine, don't know if you or anyone else uses it,, good luck though
[EVO 4G General] takeheart:
Do you have a link to where you found this PC36IMG? I'm willing to try just about anything to get my 4G up and running again, and it sounds like we had similar issues.
[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
I went through all the fixes and did the terminal deal and found out I lost my keys..

It never said "connected to sprint"

It says "connectING to sprint" and then goes right back to scanning..

I got a new phone now :)
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
were you less than 30 days into your contract?

did you have the Sprint Insurance?

did you "unroot" the phone before going in?
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
Rough way of backing up your CERTIFICATE & RSA key.

adb shell

su

sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa.key

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/rsa.key rsa.key

Then edit the file (I used a Hex editor) and deleted everything after -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

With recover-RA-v1.8.0 you can do a nandroid backup which will include the wimax.img...
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
what would that do?
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
I just edited the post, I list 2 ways of backing up your RSA key. That will grab from the line that contains BEGIN RSA, but I changed it to grab the CERTIFICATE as well.

It will dump it into rsa.key in your sdcard, you can then edit the file and remove the excess.
[EVO 4G General] Wizerest:
Huh??? Excess what?? Could you be a little more specific in your details of this for us noobs please?? I want to make sure I ll fully aware of what I'm doing b4 I try this.. Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I'm sure, by this thread and others, many now have RA wimax.img backup. When it comes to time to restore, how is it done?

One person indicated that he copied his .img to his dropbox.

Aside from doing a full NAND restore using RA, how else can the .img file be restored? It would be nice to be able to simply restore the keys.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I'm trying to do the same via Terminal Emulator on the phone. Not a Linux guy, so trying to figure out the equivalant commnads. What is the equivalent "sed" using a terminal? Just want to do a manual backup.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
adb shell throws you to the phone's terminal. that command works on your phone.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
IS this something I might need to do when 4g hits AOSP roms?
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I have always thought that, and have always been able perform terminal commands. When I launch Android Terminal, after SU, typing in "sed" results in file/command not found?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
No, this needs to be done in order to prevent you losing 4g after flashing stuff.
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Good question I am trying to figure this out now.
[EVO 4G General] lamboh:
and what happens if i've lost my jkeys..? i ran the checker and it says it's missing...no 4g for the life of my evo?
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
pretty much you are SOL...
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Well, if you have nandroid backup you should be good. I just nandroid backed to a later date than just did a fresh install of the rom I wanted. 4g magically reappear. :D
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
I managed to change the MAC on a NANDROID backup and then restore it and it worked fine.. but it only worked because the NANRDOID backup was from a phone with same hardware and firmware.
[EVO 4G General] cranbiz:
Is this post still valid? The Clockwork part, not the backing up the wimax keys.

I'm using Clockwork and I have a wimax.img folder in all of my nandroid backups. I thought one of the reasons to use 3.0 was to get the wimax keys backed up.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
No it is no longer valid as long as you use a clockwork 2.6.x.x or newer.

I had two updatede apps today. They downloaded fine but won't install. Don't know if it's a Market issue or something with my device. Any ideas?
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Ok. New apps will download and install but still have the issue with updating apps.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Usually an uninstall and then reinstall fixes apps that don't update.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Tried that. Also cleared Market cache and data. Done several reboots.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Read in another thread that it could be an issue with Google servers. Has anyone heard anything?
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
It is a google problem, the same thing is happening on the hero :) Just wait for them to fix is probably the only thing we can do right now
[Droid 2 General] droidmakespwn:
Same thing has been happening to me. I have just been clicking the update and then immediately clicking on the name of the app I just downloaded and watching the download and install meter and it works for me everytime.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Thanks for the verification.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
The issue was with apps on the memory card. Had to move them to phone memory, update, then move them back to the card. Annoying.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Moving apps back and forth isn't working today for updates.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Could Google have made changes to the Market ahead of Gingerbread?
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Possible, maybe why they're having market issues
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Not sure it's the Market now. Since I couldn't get Angry Birds to updated I tried getting it at GetJar. That wouldn't install either.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Ok. Completely lost. ROM Manager successfully updated but Angry Birds still won't.
[Droid 2 General] mickey_a_s:
I'm having almost the same issues. It started yesterday when I accidentally unistalled the wrong app. When I went on to market to re-download it and found it sat in the ongoing downloads going nowhere along with several others. I cancelled them and started them again one by one. They all downloaded and then failed to install. After that they all appeared in the downloads list but say "FREE" next to them instead of "Installed".

I know that, apart form the first app, all of them are definitely installed. Rebooting the phone made no difference. I also removed the memory card to see if that helped. At that point I managed to install the first app.

I put the SD card back in and the problem returned. Most of the apps I have installed on the SD card only appear in my downloads list intermitently, and I still can't install or update anything from the market with the SD card in the phone. I also am having issues re-installing backups and non-market apk's.

Have I done anything to the phone to make it do this or is this a Google issue? I'm using a rooted T-Mobile UK desire on stock 2.2 with ModInstallLocation set to external.

Thanks for any help or advice.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
I also get Free instead of Installed.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
And now new apps won't install.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Ok. Was able to update apps and install one new app. Still can't get other apps to install. At this point I'm open to crazy possibilities.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
It's still the server issues, until Anroid 2.3 is out this will probably be a problem :D
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
I hope I don't have to wait for 2.3 given how long it takes Verizon to release an update.

I'M SICK OF APPS NOT INSTALLING!!!
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
Im having an issue right now where it shows 3G but market is showing like connection error, the same goes for the browser. However, my mothers Droid Inc seems to be not having this issue(but it was slow to download updates and browse the market). So, does anyone else have this issue.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
My Market force closed when I tried to update AppBrain. When I reopened it, it was attempting to start the update, but never succeeded. I closed it out and went back in and then AppBrain wasn't even listed in my downloaded apps anymore. I finally just installed it manually.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Well I see that Google's apps will install.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Maybe Google is taking a page out of Apple's book.

Its ridiculous.... Starting to really irritate.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:

Anyone having issues with data lagging in the market place, or you can look at the description of that app, but the pics and stuff didn't load yet because it is taking its sweet time.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Market is slow because google is preparing for 2.3 ;)
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
Sarcasm or are you being serious? Because, last week I am pretty sure I didn't have this issue with my Eris, which was replaced by the D2.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Wouldn't surprise me if this is due to Gingerbread but if it is then the Market shouldn't update on a device until it dectects a new OS. I'm calling a fail on Google.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
This is why ;)
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Now I can't get an .apk to install.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Found a work around. Had to unmount the SD card, search the Market for the apps I needed to update, download and install, remount the SD card then move the updated apps to the SD card. Pain in the ass but it works.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
Hi, I recently bought a used Vibrant from someone... Worked great.

So I decide to update it and hope maybe get the GPS fixed, but Kies wouldnt work, I tried on 5 different computers with different windows, no luck, crashed on windows 7, and said the OS on the phone is a modified version and so it cant update on Windows XP,

So I decide to try Odin... but Odin only detects the phone in USB Debugging mode, and thats wasnt very helpful... For some reason, whenever I try to put the phone in Download mode, Windows XP AND 7 say that an unrecognized device has been attached... I tried USB drivers, 10 different times on each comp, different combos, different techniques from all over the forum and the internet... Odin wouldnt show the device in Download mode.

So I install clockwork and download the rom to restore the device to its factory state, I have it reboot into clockwork recovery and restore it using the files I downloaded to the phone... Now the phone doesnt boot, it stays stuck on the "Samsung" logo, I hear the T-Mobile jingle, but thats just it, the Samsung logo stays on and nothing happens.

I cant access the phone from the computer at all now, since it could never detect the phone in Download mode anyways, and when I put the phone in recovery mode, it shows two hard drives that I cant open... I have a micro sd card that I tried to load another restore onto and try to use that in recovery, but the recovery mode wont let me browse the sd card....

I hit a brick wall now... I don't think I have a use for yet another paperweight.

Ive all but given up, so if you could please help me, I would reaaaally appreciate it.

Edit: I tried using Ubuntu, but same thing, nothing happens in Download mode, and it only shows two drives that I cant access in recovery mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabgard:
What ROM did you flash?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
Yes, I installed the drivers over 10 times over on 10 different comps using 10 different versions of the drivers.

Kies, Kies Mini, drivers I found on these forums, drivers I found in other forums... nothing

Rom... Ummmm I used this file wwwmediafirecom/?kqaulorzx5f6dyq

UPDATE: I formatted the sdcard now, cleared cache and personal data using the recovery console... Now im even more screwed up because I cant access the other options

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
