HTC Hero CDMA Sprint. Updated to Fresh 2.0d. Decided to try out the new radio image also: 2.41.05.02.03. Everything worked fine after ROM flash and radio update. I started to have a problem when I decided to do a PRL update also. Right after the PRL update, my phone doesn't recognize towers (no service). It shows PRL version as: 27392.
Any idea on what happened. I tried searching everywhere for a similiar problem/solution, but couldn't find any. I also tried to Update PRL and profile. Neither work. Please help.
EDIT: Under network, it shows "Searching for Service", 0 for "Signal Strength" and out of service for "Service State". I also tried re-flashing both the radio img and ROM over again. No luck. Restarting doesn't fix either.

that does seem strange. be sure you are not roaming and flash back to fresh 1.1
as the prl is in the /radio partition the rom can not change it. on fresh 1.1 update your prl, and profile. that should fix it. good luck
Going to try a revert to Fresh 1.1. I am not roaming BTW (in my house that has service). It has 'signals bars' with an X. Thanks for the fast reply btw
Reverted to Fresh 1.1. Booted up with signal bars and large X over them... no service. Tried to update PRL and profile. Neither worked. Error code 1012.
What is Fresh 1.1? (n00b here)
When I had error code 1012 and no service, I had to hard reset to the phone's factory ROM, and do ##786# - Menu - Reset - MSL - OK and then after reboot do profile update. Key is doing the reset from the factory rom.
MSL might work I am hoping, but believe I would have to call Sprint for the MSL #.
Think 1.56 RUU would work? How about manually changing the PRL or downgrading the baseband?
Try flashing flipzmodes latest ROM, I know for a fact it automaticallyupdate your PRI!
Nevermind sleepy, your talking about your RPL!

you need to do the MSL code fix ...that should reset everything and fix your phone..
I had this as well.
First look at the DamageControl 2.1 R05 or whatever thread, his newest one. If you look on the first page it will have a download for the latest prl file, which is 60663, unzip the file and put it on your SD card. I then called Sprint and told them my phone started saying no service. After the normal stuff the guy said he wanted to send me to the advanced group, because he didnt just want to wipe my phone. Now when I got to that group the lady told me to try ##xxxxx# and some other stuff, and I thought hrmm sounds like an MSL number so I asked her what it was and she just said ohh thats something called MSL. After all of the stuff she tried didnt work they said they would send me a new phone since mine was under warrenty. Since I had the MSL I went in did ##PRL# and entered it, told it to look at the sdcard for /60663.prl and the update happened and my phone is back to normal. Now you can just manually do the update and not worry about it using the rom
i had the exact same problem yesterday. i was in chat with tech support for over 2 hours tryin to figure it out. what your are going to have to do is reprogram your phone like its the first time you got it. but program it manually. they can walk you through it. get your msl number from them. its a pain in the but but after all that when you go to program your phone. i flashed fresh 1.1 and everything was fine. it was stuck roaming because the prl was so low i did a prl update and everything went back to normal flashed back to fresh 2.0d and everything works fine now.
didn't even think to try what ^^^ did. so go ahead and do that probably save ya more time then i spent lol

Fresh 1.1 is a Rom I had this a while back 1012 is a data error! That came from a call to Sprint. You need to update the profile on a 1.5 Rom I used Gumbo 1.5c. The device service works better on 1.5.If you check the PRL did update. After talking to Sprint tech support that is what they will have you do.
This happend to me too, I went into settings, changed it into roaming so I could get a signal and updated the PRL. worked fine.
FIXED:
I called sprint this morning and she set my phone to automatic (so it would roam). It picked up a roaming tower fine. Then she told me to go update the PRL. I did this and it updated successfully. After that, it worked fine on sprints towers
Big thanks for the help guys.
Yeah, I updated my PRL and I couldn't get service. I switched to allow roaming to get a signal, then updated my Profile and PRL once again and the PRL switched to 60663.
I had this exact problem too yesterday. Even an ruu wouldn't fix it. I went to the sprint store and they gave me a new phone. The people there had never seen the problem before.
This is strange... I got the 1012 error when I tried to update my PRL, but it still updated even though it got the error... strange haha. By the way, I'm running TrevE's newest mod of the new Damage rom.
This is a custom ROM that allows root users to customize their settings and such.
I updated my prl through the device self service option and got that 2 something prl. So I went and tried updating through settings and it worked fine.
I was in the same situation, it updated my PRL to like version 17062 or something like that. Needless to say, I didn't have any signal and all I could do was roam. So I turned my phone off, back on, went to update PRL and it updated me to 60663 Fixed itself basically!
Hey everyone,
After I did the radio update (after doing the full root) my 4g was really messed up. The 4g would just not stay on and kept going out and then coming back every few secs. I tried reflashing the radio and yes I also formatted the cache right after and going back to the old radio. Then I tired going back to stock and it was fixed but when I did the full root again without the radio update after, well the 4g was back to crap. I even tried a custom rom after the root and still no go. So after doing many tests I found out that the firmware for the wifi is different from stock and full root. I found this out by going to ##DEBUG# then WiMAX Engineering...The full root had 20100401 (im guessing its the date of the firmware) and the stock had 20100423. So after more testing this is what worked for me.
1. I took the image file from the first part of the root (PC36IMG.zip)
2. Then I extracted android-info.txt and wimax_25043_R04.img
3. After that I made a new zip file with those two file from above and named the zip "PC36IMG" (without the quotes).
4. Then I put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD card of the evo.
5. Then I booted up to the bootloader (u know the screen with the androids skating). Then I did the update and reboot.
After that my 4g was working without getting droped every 5 secs
If someone else tries this please let me know so I know that I didn't just get lucky.
P.S. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS (it shouldn't but hey **** happens lol)
Enjoy your 4G back!

I have the same problem, but...this is a hell of a first post. Anybody wanna test this out.
If someone can post the files, I can test it. I'm at work right now and can't download files that big w/o being flagged.
you mind posting the update zip you created?

I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM.
If when you are connected to 4G you can access the internet, only suddenly 4G it drops for no reason and switch to 3G and then reconnects to 4G and goes on and on, below is the solution. if when you are connected to 4G you can not access the internet at all, the below wont fix it for you and it is probably a problem with your rom.
You will need your msl code to fix this, loop up in the forums to to obtain your msl code from Sprint:
hit ##DATA# > Edit mode.
Put in your msl code
Chose WIMAX
Scroll down to Wimax_Idle_Sleep
Change the value from 10 to 300.
Click menu, commit changes and restart the phone.
This fixed it for me and i never drop 4g (when in good coverage) again.
Basically Sprint has some STUPID setting that tells 4g to go into "sleep mode" of no data is passed on the 4g connection after 10 seconds which is essentially disconnecting 4g.
The problem is it goes into sleep mode (disconnecting), but then rescans and look for a 4G signal > reconnects to 4g and if no data will be passed in 10sec it will do the same again in an endless loop.
10sec to put a connection into sleep mode is really low so change it to 300sec.

This sounds like the same issue. I wonder if that file sets the sleep time? Just a guess. I had the same problem and this fixed it.
Here is the thread where I found it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704845&highlight=4g+sleep
Oh for me the wimax idle sleep time was always 10 even with the 20100401 firmware. The only thing that seemed different was the wimax scan attempt time. In 20100401 firmware it was 120 and in 20100423 firmware it was 1. So when I tried to change it in the older firmware it said I can only do 5 - 300. So I tried 5 and still no fix. The 4g still drops in and out. Here is file I used.
Tried your .zip. Not good. 4G is stuck on scanning and won't connect. I'll see if going back to the stock radio will fix it.
Oh that didn't even happen to me but I was already on the old radio. Try the old radio and remember to clear the cache. If it gets stuck then go to ##DATA# and check your wimax settings. Let me know how it goes.
Ran back through the Simpleroot process and got 4G back. Whew.
Nice! I wish I knew exactly what causes this problem but hey if it gets fixed then I don't care so much lol
is this zip already modified??
All that zip has is the wimax radio file to flash it but the file is old now. If your already on the latest radio then i would not use it because it may cause problems.
im stuck in "scanning"
You may need to reflash the radios and wimix. Are you on 2.2?
im on original 2.1 update1
I have the newest baseband tho... 2.12.00.07.28
I flashed this zip and phone is acting a little goofy
3G is in and out also!!
is it possible i may have to reflash the original RUU and start from there??
Why don't you try 2.2 maybe it will work after that.
after i just installed that zip im now getting DATA call failures error code 67.
Yea that should fix it or see if there is 2.2 RUU file out. Sorry I'm not home so my responds are very slow lol.
So I got my Epic last week, and just flashed my first custom rom. That being, quantum rom 2.0.0. Since installing any DK28 rom, 4G has not worked -- It worked before I updated to DK28, and it doesn't work on Quantum or on the DK28 stock rom provided by ACS. I flashed the modem using the Odin method posted in the thread for the ACS stock, and i don't appear to be having any issues with any other services (GPS, 3G, wifi all work fine). What is my next step for troubleshooting? Can I just flash an old rom (DK17 or DI18) without Odin'ing an old modem?
UPDATE: After using the dial code *#147852# and running the Wimax DM tool, I get the error "Modem is in VI Mode" under MAC state. Any idea what this means?
how do you know 4g doesn't work does it turn on?
When i turn on 4g, I can't connect, and when i check on the 4g status under Settings -> wireless & networks -> 4G, the status stays as initializing and never changes.
i wasn't getting any 4g at home (i used to get a faint signal there), but i'm getting it at work now. So perhaps the 4g radio is just not as sensitive w/ 2.2.1. Who knows. Maybe try a location where u used to get really good 4g service.

When you turn on your 4G, do you see any available networks? Does the status sit at initializing? It just seems like if my radio was working, it would do something other than halt on "initializing"
My 4g won't connect and I hard reset the device....any tips? luckily I have wifi...at work.
IF you dont care for the deodoxed and prerooted for you stuff..I'd go back to stock and do teh update.zip method or just flash it with odin...I kinda had same issue with DK17 and flashing the DK17 modem...my 4g could not connect...went back to stock when DK28 came out, tested 4g and it worked..then flashed DK28 via the update.zip method and 4g works better then ever..its nto faster but before I only could get 4g in 2-3 places in my house..now I can get 4g in 90% of my house
is that the only fix with odin? I'm stock not rooted.....

Just Odin'd the stock image, and no dice for 4G there either.
Works well on viper DK28 3.0. GPS has been working great for me too. The best it has ever worked. The developer correct the few 4g issues his rom did have at release.
4g has worked on dk28 for me since my first flash of it. Matter of fact I'm on it now indoors while posting this.

For those with working 4g, what happens when you start your 4g radio in a place where you have no service? Does the status say "Initializing" and does the status bar icon stay gray?

u wanna input that code, *#147852# and go to WLANMacAdress, write that down, go back in to *#147852# this time go to wimax linetest, put the MAC address you wrote down in the WRITEMAC box in caps and no : between, then tap on the WRITEMAC button, device should freeze up for a little, then tap Write EEPROM, device should freeze for a little, then reboot the phone and turn on 4G
I still have no 4g, its stuck at initializing! GPS works fine and is very accurate but 4g is fubared.....

Odin to DI18, achieve GPS LOCK, Restart, Turn off again, Odin to DK28 using the Tarball. Use latest one click root. Then proceed to install any rom you want. Viper rom works with both GPS and 4g for me. Those were my EXACT steps.
I'm still having the 4g issue any ideas?

4G is extremely random in my area. Some days I'll get a signal, other times I won't. I think it has something to do with Venus being aligned with Uranus, the moon with the stars, and what color socks I'm wearing.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue. I installed a DK28 ROM and noticed 4g stopped working. I went back to Stock and 4g still didn't work. It tried to connect and would fail. While trying to connect to 4g with any DK28 rom, it would attempt to connect, phone would momentarily freeze and pulse vibrate, and then reboot itself over and over until I turned 4g off.
I recently went through the steps to go to 4.4.4 NI2 and root it with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55495211&postcount=1
During that process, I noticed my cellular signal wasn't working correctly, but continued on until I finished installing Rick's ROM V19.6 with a fresh install of safestrap and fresh install of Rick's ROM. Now that I have that installed and want to actually start using my phone now, my cellular connection is hardly working at all. I reflashed the NI2 modem firmware and now I am getting 3g signal only when I should be getting 4g. My ping is also very high 1000+ms. My download speeds are also super low (0.18 mbps down/ 0.59 mbps up). Something during all this process has really messed up my cellular connection and I don't know how to fix it.
I tried flashing the NCG Modem firmware and it wasn't getting any signal at all . It was just showing the circle with a line through it. I then flash the NI2 modem firmware and am getting the behavior as described above.
I ended up going to the verizon store and it took a new sim card and factory reset to fix it. No thanks on future rooting prospects for this thing.
I feel like a factory reset alone might have done it, oh well though, glad you got it fixed.

Hey guys, hopefully you can help me get my S5 back on track.
KLTEUSC G900R4
The story goes:
I've been running CM13. Flashed a nightly, I notice my phone hasn't locked 4G basically all day. 3G only.
So I Odin back to stock using the latest firmware. Phone is still stuck in 3G. Phone does an OTA update to CPF2 baseband version. Still no 4G.
Took the phone to USC store, they provided me with a new SIM. Nothing changed.
I took a trip out of my home area, about 100 miles away I got 4G, but i had no network connection? The phone displayed 4G but i could not connect to any internet. It then dropped down to 3G shortly after and I was able to access data again.
Since then I've flashed back to CM13 (snapshot august 20th release) since if I'm going to be stuck in 3G forever, it might as well be on a ROM that I like.
Please help!
Thanks,
Jeremy.
Bump. Still no LTE.
If I reboot the device, the phone locks LTE for a few seconds, with network connectivity, but then quickly loses it and drops back to 3G. If I leave the phone in LTE preferred, it will run in 3G for most of the time, but occasionally totally lose data (I'm assuming its trying to connect to LTE) then go back to 3G.
Any Ideas?
flash the stock tar.md5 in Odin, reflash TWRP, boot it up fully, boot into recovery, make a NAND, reflash your ROM. Sounds like something got screwed up in the radio firmware
Will that still work even though I can't get 4G when i'm on the stock rom?
$50 reward to whoever can successfully restore 4G LTE to my phone. I've been living on 3G for 6 months and its starting to get to me.
I've been on Lineage OS with the same results. There was a firmware update, so I flashed it through Odin, and ran the stock rom/firmware for about 3 days with the same results. No 4G. Called up the US Cell Tech guys and they were going to check everything over on their end.
The last go round, I repartitioned the phone, did NandEraseAll, and EFS clear.
Any ideas?
