Easiest 4G Wimax Fix [Possibly]

I'd been having problems with 4G being stuck in scanning mode after 1.47 ROM updates and almost lost all hope when no solutions seemed to work.
UNTIL!!!!!!
1. Flash your 1.47 based ROM of choice.
2. Make sure 4G is turned off and boot into recovery and install latest Radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485) and update profile then update PRL.
3. Make sure 4G is turned off and boot into Recovery and install latest Wimax Radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485) and update profile then update PRL.
4. DELETE TREE.XML FILE IN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORY: /data/misc/wimax/
How you delete this file is totally up to you. I personally deleted using adb shell, but Root Explorer from the Market should work as well.
5. Reboot & Turn on 4G
At this point the tree.xml file will be automatically generated and hopefully you will have full functioning 4G.
Good luck!

I will second this!
After i updated to Fresh's newest this morning I ran into this is as well. I used root explorer to delete the tree file and voila, functioning 4g goodness.

Worked for me as well! I'm glad it's this easy! Although, I just used ADB instead of Root Explorer, but they both work the same.

I thought the easiest way was to use Whitslacks start over method?

can someone post the adb commands for us cheap (don't want to spend the $ on root explorer) n00b's?

here you go:
To figure out what your mac address is/file name is called:
Code:
adb shell
ls /data/misc/wimax
this will list all the files and folders in the wimax folder. look for the one ending with .tree.xml
Then to remove the file (assuming you're still in shell-denoted by the # sign):
Code:
rm data/misc/wimax/############.tree.xml

I wish someone could find a fix for the less common problem of 4g dropping and not reconnecting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7206162&posted=1#post7206162

Thanks initial. I'll have to wait till I head into town tomorrow. No 4G in the burbs yet.

If you say 4G works, can you say if you can connect, leave the 4G area for a little while, re-enter the 4G area, and have the phone re-connect 4G without getting stuck on "Scanning" or "Obtaining IP?"

I did the whitslack method flash DC 3.2.3 everything works great only problem I'm having is everytime I leave 4g area I have to reboot for 4g to work this goes for wifi wont start unless reboot Bluetooth wont conect unless reboot. Can someone please confirm if this is only on rooted roms or both stock and rooted.

If you want to delete the tree you can just use a wildcard without listing the directory first:
Code:
adb shell
rm data/misc/wimax/*.tree.xml

Good call, this is even easier. no need to list the directory anymore.

I need someone to confirm, but I believe I found a FIX!!!
Requirements:
Your MSL code (See Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487)
Instructions:
Turn OFF your 4G radio if it is turned on!
1) Click on phone and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)
2) Click on "Edit Mode"
3) Type in your MSL code (see above if you don't have it yet)
4) Click on the menu entry "WiMAX"
5) Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Scan_Retry(s)"
6) Enter the number 15 and click "OK" (This equals 15 seconds instead of 300 seconds)
7) Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Entry_Delay(s)"
8) Enter the number 0 and click "OK" (This equals 0 seconds instead of 300 seconds)
9) Press the "Menu" key and click on "Commit Modifications"
10) Grab a cup of coffee, get a bite to eat, or sit back and wait for your EVO to restart
Testing:
1) Go to your phone's settings and click on "Wireless & networks"
2) Scroll down and click on 4G settings
3) Click on 4G to turn it on and wait for the status to change to "Connected to Sprint"
4) Without touching any of the menu items, cover the top half of your phone with your hands until the status changes to "Scanning..."
5) Uncover the top of the phone and count the seconds until it says "Connecting to Sprint"
6) Realize that you no longer have to cycle the 4G radio to reconnect
Result:
After modifying my EVO and my girlfriend's EVO and inputting these changes, the phone will reconnect to the 4G tower in as little as 20 seconds!
Yes, 20 seconds, the most I have seen so far is 30 seconds after dropping the connection. This is a HUGE improvement over the 5+ minutes to reconnect (300+ seconds).

Ditto.
I tried to skip a step because I was lazy and didn't work. Started from the begining and IT WORKED.

Just to clear things up, this will not fix any bad MAC addresses.
This is just a soft fix to get roms working (given that your MAC has not been corrupted)

How do I fix the corrupted mac address? I think that may be what my problem is.
Edit: Nevermind, this fixed the problem; I have a weak signal in my house and it's still as bad as before the original wimax radio.

I have tried the method of the original poster and still have no luck. I rooted my phone after the OTA update using the simple root method. Prior to root my 4G was working.
I then installed BakedSnack 9.6 and since then 4G just sits on scanning. I have installed the latest radio/wimax roms multiple times and done everything else to no luck.
Can someone with a now working wimax post their output from logcat when they enable it. There is a thread in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725773 that explains the issue some of us are seeing.
For me and others with issues Logcat showing the error: E/Wimax ( 274): <DCP> Bad return status 0xffffffff
To capture a logcat connect do the following in adb:
Code:
adb shell
logcat > \sdcard\logcat.txt
immediately start wimax and leave it until it connects
You can now hit CTRL+C to kill logcat
The output of the logcat will be written to a text file called logcat.txt on the root of your sdcard instead of just scrolling by on your screen.
If someone here could do this it would be much appreciated and might help those of us still having issues.

Problem with adb

Im tring to push a bootanimation.zip through adb but when i type adb remount is says operation failed
Can any help?

Did you try
adb kill-server
adb start-server
If that doesn't work try rebooting the phone.
If that doesn't fix it, Google it. I think that's the fix though.

Brilliant fix incidentally my Iconia is now 3G when needed!

Does this require Root?
This seems like a function that could require root, also does this work with any carriers or just certain carriers.
Amazing idea and cannot wait to see how it plays out. It would be really cool if eventually an app was made for this, unlocking this feature. Good job.

its limited to what the option driver can use(https://github.com/Tiamat-AOSP/Xoom....36-honeycomb-mr1/drivers/usb/serial/option.c) check first couple of lines you will find there devices with device id that works with this driver and also limited to modems with usb-serial interface, carriers dont play any role in this... only modems...

If I'm reading this, the USB 3G dongles will work in the Acer Iconia? Not being extremely tech savvy, I'm not sure if once you're rooted you can install these drivers and use it, or if it's still in development by the XDA Gods.
Could you clarify if this is working?

[Q] Random reboots - Is there a log I can view?

Hey all,
running CM7 (in particular this), and have always experienced these random reboots since I rooted/ROM'd etc.
I have worked out it is to do with 3G/4G data connection and/or swapping back to 2G to save battery or something along those lines. I have tried different radios, but not other ROMs (dont particularly want to change ROM).
My question is, is there a log file or some sort of diagnostic i can run to see exactly the cause so i can better find a fix/report the bug?
Cheers.

Ye, just write su than logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt in terminal emulator this will save the logcat to the logcat.txt file, you can than copy that to your pc and see what happened before the reboot.

I'm going to try and provide a log too. Problem is, I usually only notice it after a while, when I take my phone and see that it has rebooted and waiting for PIN.

Thanks man, will do this very soon and post my log (if thats ok? and if there isnt anything personal in there)
EDIT: Holy c***. its 14,500 lines of code... what should I be looking for?

I have found there are several errors relating to GTalk (which i never/cant use). I didnt realise I hadnt Frozen this with Titanium Backup, so I have done that now.
I was also getting errors relating to sqlite and the Market, but not sure this is causing any reboots as yet, the error was as follows:
Code:
I/Database(12351): sqlite returned: error code = 0, msg = Recovered 8 frames from WAL file /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/databases/downloads.db-wal
I will see if I get any more reboots and let everyone know, but I suggest freezing GTalk as a start if you are getting reboots.

FWIW the culprit in my case was SKYPE

Really! Interesting. Did you uninstall or freeze?

Also, I can tell you that freezing GTalk definitely has reduced the number of reboots, but not eliminated it. I have just tried uninstalling Skype (I never use it anyway) as wintermute000 suggested, and will follow up again in a few days.

Uninstalling Skype has greatly helped. Thanks wintermute000!

No worries. I just run skype when I need and exit fully when done, no need to freeze or uninstall

I am able to do all that also, but can't backup and can't install anything. I get error can't mount data/recovery and aborts.

ok... so i'm trying for the 100th time to install this silly thing... and for some reason... when i try to run it... it kicks me out...
i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...
when i attempt to pause the install process... i get a screen full of if i type adb without an argument...
if someone could gimme a hand with this or tell me what the hell i am doing wrong... i'd appreciate it...
i wanna try to get laidaxin's cm7.2 working on my phone...
i dunno if it matters... but i am attempting to install from a windows xp machine...

Hello!
First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.
Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)
as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:
1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.
2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...
3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...
So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...
Best regards!

You should be able to install it like this:
- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard
- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:
Code:
su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh
And it should say "Install complate...."
You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:
Code:
rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu
Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down

It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?

Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...
Because....
When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...
As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock
Sent from my Filpside using Tapatalk

Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.
