PRL Updating

All I can tell you Sprint lovers is never use the Update PRL or Update Profile icons unless you want to risk messing up your device.

For some reason, the update feature causes the network to read a different MSL number than coded into the phone, thereby sending data that does not work with the device.

Sprint will not be able to do a data recovery since the MSL they have and the one the network sees is different.

A Hard Reset is the only way I have found to fix the problem.

This method may be tired, although I have not. Download 'MSL Grabber' and when the device goes nuts, run MSL to determine the MSL number that the network will see. Then call Sprint and give them THAT number and tell them not to use the one they have on file. This should result in Sprint using different codes to recover the phone.

As I said, never tried it.

I do PRL updating manually by downloading the PRL file and opening PHONE CODES folder which triggers the update screen, or using ##775# on the keyboard.

##228# should also generate an OTA update, but again, I found that can cause loss of data connection.

I have found little difference between 60671 and 60672.

I ran it and it shows the same msl that I've had since I've got my phone. I've done plenty of hard resets. Still not connecting.

Data connection failed

Are you still using a standard Evo ROM or a cooked version?

Ok, lets look at something simple. Check in your settings to see if the Data Connection is disabled. The setting is usually in the same menu with Flight Mode'. If you can't find the setting, contact your carrier, and while you have them on the line, ask them to try a data recovery.

If none of that works, you can try reinstalling the carrier CAB, and/or the carrier Profile and Update CAB if appropriate. You should be able to find them on the first page of this thread.

If all of this fails, I think your looking at flashing the ROM again, and reinstalling all programs.

There is an EVO specific section on XDA. Maybe if you post your question there, someone may have the answer.

Just check that "Connect Mobile Networks" is checked and on...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Its not a titanium problem, you should never restore system data with tb unless you are on the exact same rom you backed up with tb. That will always cause problems.

Also, i saw in your first post that you did a nandroid backup on one phone and then restored that backup on a different phone. That's the problem right there. A nandroid backup is only meant to be restored on the phone that it is made on. If you transfer that to a different phone it will mess up provisioning, profile, RSA keys, and everything else. You should read the warnings at the headers of the recovery makers that clearly state this.

I'm rooted and I just updated my PRL..(noticed that someone else had) and I've got 60672 no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
The nandroid restore from another phone probably messed up your data profiles. It's a long complicated process to correct them using QXDM and QPST. Not worth it. I have done this type of repair before for a fee but it takes about half an hour even when you know exactly what you're doing.

As long as you have 3G working, you don't need profile updates. PRL updates are pushed by the network automatically, or it's trivial to flash them from a download on this forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
He's right. I got a replacement EVO and hastily/foolishly did a FULL APP/ALL System Data backup. I then restored this as a batch operation on my new EVO. Everything worked flawlessly except I could not update PRL. A Hard reset fixes the issue, but once the Titanium full backup is applied its borked again. It's obviously the provisioning, RSA keys, etc. I cant bare to manually reinstall/tweak everything.

If I could remove the settings from the backup it could work. I just dont know what app/setting/registry this provisioning/profile/rsa key stuff is stored in. ANy suggestions on removing the offending system data from the batch backup? Would removing "EPST 2.2" from the backup work?

True. If I cant fix this I'll just manually update PRL. Its not worth redoing everything. I did a Profile Data clear/restore with my MSL. It ended up not working and making it so I couldnt even get data again. Had to hard reset. I guess the data clear/restore operation recommended by Tier 1 Sprint support does not work once its screwed up. Tier 2 told me Hard reset is the only way to remedy it. But I know if I can just remove the stuff thats messing with my provisioning out of the backup it could work. If I could just remove all provisioning stuff out of the Titanium Backup it should/could work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
Bump .... Bump ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
Got to be a way to remove the provisioning/data profile info from the Backup Batch! It's stored somewhere. I'm sure one of you gurus out there has an idea.

The app, RyanZa's OCLF can root our phones on 2.1, not sure if it would work the same way on 2.2 but i'd assume it has a great chance? Haven't heard of people losing root, but if you really have i'd try this. So do you not have clockwork recovery anymore?

[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
What on earth has APN config to do with kernel?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
there should have been a question mark but it got lost in rewriting I guess. :p

I thought it had to do with the kernel since snakehult made a topic: APN update FroYo 2.2 - Kernel 2.6.32.17

To me that looked like APN update included in kernel 2.6.32
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:

As usual it appears that this thread has been derailed by people having no idea what they are talking about, this is a RADIO update and ONLY affects the RADIO.

It does not affect: APN configuration, WiFi, Bluetooth, The colour of the sky

Please, please stop with the anecdotal responses and things like 'this works better' or 'this works worse' without actual benchmarks and proof (such as a 'control' phone) your postings are useless and just take up space.
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
Actually I don't know about Legend, but in others phones radio affects to almost every wireless stuff (like WIFI or GPS) because of the integration just in one chip.

I'd like to hear some reports from users with a virtual provider:

Do you have any issues with this firmware?

Is your virtual or the real network provider reported?

Does roaming work for you? Do you see a roaming indicator even when you are on your home network?
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
No

Yes (both)

Yes I see "R"oaming indicator
[Legend Android Development] pfak:
No issues. Virtual is reported. Don't know if Roaming works since I don't roam.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I don't either, but with older firmware the roaming indicator was always shown (which is right and wrong at the same time, depending on your point of view).

I don't see the indicator any more which means that

a) HTC fixed handling of MNVOs or

b) HTC broke roaming.

And I don't believe it's the first one until I can definitely confirm that it's not the latter.

Call me paranoid but HTC did make our job a hard one in the past :D :D.
[Legend Android Development] pfak:
Well, in my case it didn't ever show Roaming in the first place. Maybe a problem specific to your MVNO?

This morning I rolled back to 7. 08.35.21.

I had been on both the 7.13.35.05 radio with CM6.1 nightly and on the CM6.1 rc2 recently which seemed to include this radio. On both I was experiencing poor performance in switching beteeen 3G and 2G in low coverage areas and as a consequence was seeing significantly high 'time without signal" in the battery cell standby section. it was also obvious as you waited for data to transmit on 3G when there was no coverage but it refused to fall back to 2G.

I tried messing around in the testing area with WCDMA and GSM auto PRL but without much luck. same results.

I am wondering if something has changed in the algorithms used to calculate when to switch to 3G or fallback to 2G.

I'll test this over a week and see how it goes.

I also rolled back to 7.08.35.21

[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
We are not distributing a radio image with CM and as long as core functionality does not depend on a specific version we are not going to do so.

I did update a library which definitely causes problems with data connection freezing. This is reported in the following bug: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2057.

I'm still investigation this issue, but at the moment I have no idea what HTC changed in newer libraries that might cause failure.

Using this radio with CM 6.1 RC 2 and a MNVO, the real provider (Vodafone.de) is shown and the roaming icon doesn't appear in Vodafone network. Roaming works though automatically while being abroad.

But I am not able to do a manual search for networks (directly after selecting the item, an error occurs). Any guesses whether this is connected to the Radio or CM?

[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Thanks for the ZIP link !

I think this radio has eliminated the dropouts I was getting on music streaming while walking around my house with phone in a pants pocket. Even the basement seems to be good.

Strange thing though, is that the reported signal levels, in my work area at least, seem to be unchanged.

I have a Canadian Virgin(/Bell) model and the original stock radio seemed to be 7.08.35.05. I'm on Bell's network via an MVNO using HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900.

In my work area I seem to get around -97 to -103, old radio or new. When I first boot and check my levels, they seem to jump up to -85 or so. Weird. Maybe it's a closer tower on Rogers network it sees first before switching.

Anyone know if the aluminum case is known to contribute to cell radio and WiFi problems ? I'm wondering if some antenna hardware mod might help.

EDIT: phone seems to be getting much hotter in my pocket while streaming than it did last night.

And now I'm noticing signal strength is much better, like around -80 to -83 dBm when on a table and I'm NOT holding the phone like a PDA or a phone to my ear. Can be on my pant leg for about -90 to -95, but I can't have it in my hand without losing some 10-20 dBm.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Yes, I do... Is it a bug? Why does Switchpro do this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I've been crowing about this for ages - it doesn't have nearly the attention it should. It actually has to do with how switchpro fixed a bug with the 4g toggle from a previous version. If you have switchpro installed, it acts almost as a master switch for 4g. So when you turn the phone on, it will turn on 4g for a bit, then see the switchpro toggle setting is off, then shut it off again (previous versions it would turn on 4g whenever you rebooted, and leave it on). This is also why if you have it installed, you can't turn on 4g from the settings menu right off the bat - you have to turn it on through switchpro first, and then you can turn it back off and back on through settings, or just use the switchpro 4g toggle exclusively, instead of going into settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Interesting, so other than being sightly annoying, does this cause any other issues (eg. battery drain, etc.)?

If I uninstall SwitchPro does it fix the issue?

Thanks,

Matt_TX
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I'm sure it drains the battery a bit, but I haven't found it draining enough where it was an issue (for me anyway).
