Will unrooting my EVO 4G and going back to stock restore my RSA Keys? I have lost both 4G and Wi-Fi.

No returning to stock won't get your wimax keys back. Only way is to restore a previous nandroid backup that had your wimax keys

Personally tried it, came up negative. It's heartbreaking to lose RSA keys.

r you positive that it is your rsa keys and not just a kernel flash issue? because i remember that if you flash anthrax sense kernel if you don't mount /data first before you flash it, it breaks your wifi and it may have messed up you 4g as well. also download the rsa key checker app from the market to be absolutely sure its your rsa's. its worth a shot if you have no backups to restore...
edit:also to fix the wifi when flashing anthrax all you had to do was re flash it with /data mounted and it would work again.

I have been considering jumping right on the HTC Evo 3D when Sprint releases it.
I was planning on selling my HTC Evo 4G on ebay.
What exactly should I do to make sure none of my personal information is left on this phone?
I do have my phone r00ted: Fresh Evo: Current ROM.
Can I just clear the cache, Wipe the SDCard. Do a clean install of Fresh.
Then just shut the phone down and sell it?
Thanks guys!
BAsically, yes. Do a full wipe, flash a new ROM, let it go
in recovery you would wipe user data as well as cache and all that and then do a Rom install.
If you are selling the phone with the SD, wipe SD after you flash the rom.
Hope this helps
Verify that your phone number and Sprint username was removed also . . . on my Moment, only a Factory Reset removed those two items . . .
Sweet, thank you guys for the help!

You can also do that by using the ##768# bjt some has reported that the phone would not activate at all or that the 4G keys get lost. The option I have used to restore my 3G data (which is where the username is used) is the ##DATA# and then typing the MSL then going to Data Profile > Restore. The only detail is that the phone will attempt to get that data back via provisioning as soon as the phone is powered on again so make sure the device is already deactivated before running that step.

It seems you are missing the EPST program which is used to control the radio settings... by any chance are you using any AOSP based ROM like CM?

So I ran this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915617
and it said that I had no rsa keys, so I went to my first nandroid before I switched to a custom rom nandroid backups, and a wimax.(my phones host ID I think).img existed in the folder. So I restored it.
After it was done I ran the app again, and it said that my keys were still not there. Afterwards, I went back to recovery and went to backup/restore and choose advance restore and checked the things I could restore, wimax wasn't among them, even though the file was there.
So my question: Is there anything I can do to restore them? I do have a backup.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using 4G? Maybe it just isn't reporting back correctly. Was your first nandroid done with the recovery the OP posted in the perm root thread where you had to manually backup the wimax keys or did you download rom manager from the market and install your recovery that way which backs them up automatically?
I have tried using 4G, but it doesn't work, I've tried other backups as well to no avail.
And it was with clockworkmod I made my backup, not manually

You could try the 2.2 ruu then reroot,maybe that would fix things don't know if the keys are individual device specific.

Tried it, but my rsa keys are still missing. Anything else to do, I have them backed up with clockwork, it just won't recognize them or restore them.
I wonder if you could push them with adb?

I think I would pm bcnice or someone from the perm root thread who seem knowledgable about such things. I only mention bcnice because in his original root instructions he had us manually back them up so I assume he probably knows how to restore the backups. I have a feeling many people would be willing to help but they probably don't frequent this board too often.
Ever since I wiped, reloaded EL30 and restored my phone after updating it from EI22 to EL30, I can't get a 4G lock to save my life. I tap the button and it just stays half-lit forever. If I got into the menu system settings and go into the 4G section, it shows it connecting, but never FULLY connected. This is only happened since my "upgrade" to EL30.
Any ideas?

Odin in the full EL30 tar without restoring any data and see if it works. Had a similiar problem that turned out to be corrupted wiMax data. Last nandroid had it too.

That would mean wiping everything again. Is there a way to fix corrupted WiMax data without wiping the whole unit back to stock?

If you have a backup saved from when it last worked you can restore that.

I have not tried this and don't know if it will work but Titanium backup allows you to restore from a nandroid. There are a bunch of wimax files. You can attempt to restore everything WiMax.
I had some problems getting 4g the other day. I chalk it up to the airave. Restarted my phone out of range of that thing and haven't had a problem since.

Wierd, it is not supposed to affect 4G at all. It is only a 3G and cell femtocell.
A month ago I rooted my Mytouch 4g and flashed Toasted Marshmellow with no problems. I wanted to go to Synthetic Nightmare's ICS rom since JB seemed a little too glitchy and used ROM Manager to do the flashing for me. However,when my phone booted back up, the white H-boot screen popped up instead of CWM. Instead of pulling the battery out, I accepted the update which brought my phone back to stock froyo. I still have s-off and my phone is no longer rooted. I tried to permroot and flashanother rom again today only for my phone to be stuck ont the Mytouch 4g screen.
I don't know if I should go back to s-on and try the process of s-off and permroot again?
Thoughts!
Have you tried pushing recovery back to your phone with adb? Or if u r stuck on the white logo screen u will have to use adb to communicate with your phone, to regain root? Someone? Possibly if u tried to reflash a rom then your boot.img may be different than the rom since you weren't rooted? I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud..brainstorming

Ok, push the pd15img.zip into bootloader and reset back to stock if you haven't already done so. Then do the gfree rooting method to gain Perma root.

I'm able to push the pd15.img with no problems and was able to successfully root through visionary, but now it seems I can't flash any roms. I've tried numerous times only to get either stuck at the mytouch 4g screen and once it got an error and the installations was aborted. Everytime this happens, I have to repush pd15.img and re-root. It's been going on since yesterday and am so frustrated to the point I'm ready to give up.
I love having custom roms, but this is stupid!
Also, try using 4ext recovery instead of CWM. Maybe you will not get an error. Wipe data, cache & dalvik, the format everything except sdcard. Then install zip from sd (rom of your choice)

Yup that's why I recommend it its the best. Also take any pd15img.zip files on the root of your SD card and either move it into another folder or delete it completely to avoid any similar problems from happening.

Ive backed up and restored twice now with no problems, did you completely wipe and factory reset? You have to do it in that order.
I forgot, and just restored. But that shoulnd't cause bootloops. Ive used TWRP before on gnexus. what did you learn from your first bootloop error? I saw you had many posts. What have you changed to fix that ?

This isnt the Gnex, i know what you mean, this phones recovery method doesnt work the same as the nexus.
I learned this from other people's trial and error actually from this very g2 forum. With this device it requires a complete wipe and then a factory reset.otherwise boot loops will occur.

in your experience, has how you flashed TWRP mattered? What about how you booted into recovery? I recall you bricked not trying to restore. is wiping the only thing you changed to prevent the boot loop?

Yes, ive had one bootloop from using TWRP but a full wipe and FR resolved this issue. I did brick once by taking the verizon OTA while having TWRP. But that was a month ago and I tried to restore from my backup to no avail though. This was fixed by the devs. Anyway bottom line when I ran into bootloop issues I just did this methodology and it worked, its def different from how we use TWRP on the Gnex.
Is this what your asking about or no?
I ran into the same problem but fixed it using the method in "go back to stock" thread. The mistake I made was that I chose to format my internal storage in the wipe menu so i couldn't restore either lol.

Holy Crapshoot that was easy... how do you reboot into recovery using hardware buttons on this thing?
I use the clockwork mod app .. if you use the hard buttons I think you have to choose the factory reset option and then that will take you to recovery. .. I have not used that method. .. just what I have read. .. vol down and power. .please research that first
