4G not working

So. My 4G data (Sprint, S4. Rooted, but stock ROM and such) stopped working. Updated PRL and Profile. It works for a minute and stops. Restore backup. It works then stops after 5 mins. Update prl and profile in the Sprint app, it works and then stops 1 minute later.
Did a factory reset (still rooted) and it worked for a while. Came home, connected to wifi. Decide to try it now and it's out.
I also had the hotspot mod installed. Used it a bit last night.
Could it be the hotspot mod or root? Or an app issue?

Oh good, I'm not the only one! Happened to me today as well, exact same setup (rooted, stock ROM, hotspot mod). I also factory reset and got it working again, but mine is still connecting, it's just slow as ****.
If you find a reason/solution elsewhere, please LMK.

If it matters, I am now showing as Custom in status and in download mode.
To above, are you as well?
I unrooted. Going to factory reset now. Is there any way to get back to stock recovery?
Edit: Also, to above: do you have TWRP installed as well?

To get back to stock recovery flash the recovery.IMG from the development forum with Odin. What stock firmware are you on MDC or MDL?

MDL. Updated in the Sprint store at first. I can't find the file for MDL. I assume I would place it in... PDA? Which slot in odin?
So now that I'm unrooted, I would flash that first? Is there a stock MDL to flash?
In other words, on MDL, can I just use the one click MDC package after unrooting to go back to that? It appears that it restores stock recovery too.

Here is a link to stock recovery http://d-h.st/Ube flash in Odin use the pda option auto reboot and f reset time. Then boot in to recovery by powering off and holding power and volume up until you see recovery booting in the left corner then let go. Then do a factory reset and cache wipe. If all else fails once booted up in android dial ##72786# it will reactivate your phone it fixed some of my connectivity issues.

In recovery use volume keys to move up and down make sure wipe cache is highlighted then press power to start the process.

Okay, will try and report back. Will a factory reset likely reverse what the hotspot mod did or no?

Yes it will. If you don't want to just dial ##72786# and it will reactivate your phone that could fix it try that first if that fails do the factory reset and dial that again to reactivate it.

Odin doesn't give me an option to flash the recovery, as it's an .img file. How do I fix this?

Then you don't need stock recovery just do a factory reset cache wipe and then once it boots dial ##72786# to reactivate the phone again after the setup process. Odin doesn't flash. Img files sorry for the confussion.

Bad phone bud. I don't think it's hotspot mod or root. Just a bad radio most likely.

Both me and the other guy in this topic on the same day and same conditions though? Seems somewhat odd.

Same areas? Maybe towers are going through maintenance. I know my tower near my house did. I was at dinner in a high 4g signal area and I only had1 bar of 3g. Very unusual for this area. As I left the restaurant it took forever to update to more bars and wouldn't connect to 4g for a few miles. Same issue? Idk. I'm in Michigan. I do know towers are still under testing phase here. Maybe for you guys too? Just because you have 4g doesn't mean the tower is official and out of test phase.

Bricked N4, stuck on bootloop(Tried clearing caches)

Hello guys, bear with me please.
i was trying to root my N4 and followed the procedures to manually do that as toolkits are not good as they say here.

Then i cleared all caches, dalvik caches and tried but again got stuck on the same place.
Now i cant even get into the bootloader menu
Tried all the things, now what can i do?

Get in to Bootloader, once in bootloader, volume up until you get RECOVERY.
From there you'll have the Android with the Exclamation point, press the POWER keep it pressed and then Volume + . You will end up with the recovery screen. Do a factory reset from there and then reboot.
hit thanks! I just had this on my Nexus 4 too and got it to work.

all done, somehow i manage to factory reset from stock recovery heww:
Its back to 16gb again
and sorry for stupid queries last night, i guess i was freaked out xD

You don't need udb debugging in fastboot mode. Flash the full factory image.

Nothing worked so far

Managed to flash full factory image.
When I flashed 4.3, its stucked at "Android is upgrading.... Starting Apps" screen.
When I flashed 4.2 its managed to boot successfully but I don't get the network coverage.
When i try to search network its "Error in searching network".
The baseband version is stated as unknown.

Reflash 4.3 and wait for the installation to finish. If it gets stuck on "Android is upgrading" just restart the phone. This time use THIS toolkit. it has always worked for me.

Me too did try flashing 4.3 again and again twice but still stuck up with x screen.

I too had this problem with my Nexus 4. I flashed the factory image (I tried with Android 4.2 and 4.3) with fastboot and I got exactly the same errors as you. I finally sent back my device to Google, the new one should arrive next week. I have no idea what can cause this problem :/

This thread is old, but if you have a problem with booting, you don't have to go unlocking bootloader and flashing anything if it can be fixed by just going into stock recovery and wiping cache or factory reset (you will lose apps data, but not data in your phone storage.)
Hold Power + Volume Down when the phone is off to go into "fastboot mode". Then use the Volume keys to navigate to Recovery. In there, press some combination of buttons of Volume and Power to bring up the menu (I forgot what the combination is, just fiddle around), then you can wipe cache or factory reset.
If even factory reseting doesn't help, you might need to unlock bootloader and flash factory firmware, but if you unlock the bootloader it will wipe the phone entirely and you will lose all your data. You can try to boot the phone and connect it to your PC, even if it doesn't boot fully there might be a chance MTP is loaded so you can copy files off.

You should do a factory reset in recovery before flashing. Follow the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312, and make sure you use the correct firmware image when flashing it.

Wrong update path?

I'll just start with how I flashed from the beginning
I337UCUAMDB - May 2, 2013
CASUAL
Stayed there for a while.
Last night I wiped:
/data, /cache, /dalvik, and /system
Flashed Hyperdrive RLS12
Flashed RLS12 - AT&T Compatibility Pack
Rebooted
It seemed to boot fine, but when I unlocked the screen the Google keyboard immediately force closed, then system quit responding so I couldn't even click the Ok button on the force close dialog for a couple minutes. Even after this, everything was very slow. I quickly realized that most of my hardware buttons were misbehaving. Either they only worked when I long pressed them, or they didn't work at all, except for the Home button.
I suspected that the AT&T Compatibility zip was the kernel I would need to make this Verizon-based ROM work on my phone but I wasn't sure if that's true or if I would need a separate kernel zip to flash.
Afterwards I ended up using Odin twice to return to stock MDB and then CASUAL to get root and recovery back.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you read it's thread and directions for at&t users ?
Normally if you had a wrong kernel it wouldn't even boot. Honestly if you are new I'd stick to at&t or i9505 ported ROMs. MDB allows you free reign to try all the ROMs.
I suspect you got a bad download or something was missing.

I'm not new to flashing per se but I broke this phone two weeks after I bought it and just recently got it fixed. I included everything because I wasn't sure where something may have gone wrong. Maybe I came from the wrong base or something. I'll link to this thread in the ROM thread

What recovery are you using?

TWRP from CASUAL

Well you didnt have to odin bud. Just make a backup of the rom your on in twrp. Leave it on your sd. I backup to external bc it takes too much space on internal. And try flashing the rom again. Maybe redownload it bc it might be a bad download. I too had the keyboard force closing so I reflashed and only checked swype keyboard in the installer so no more keyboard fc. If you have an issue after flashing the rom just boot recovery and restore your backup instead of using odin.
The hardware button issue and slowness is from force closing. When something fc"es the whole system kinda freezes up and becomes unresponsive. Just dont install any keyboards from the aroma except swype. Try it that way and let it sit for a few minutes after booting. I also suggest using ktoonsez 4.3 tw kernel. You can find it under origional development and flash in recovery after roms installed
As far as how you flashed everything was done right. You can try not wiping manually and just choose full wipe in the aroma installer.
Hope everything goes well if not then just come back here and let us know so we can help

Also get the app greenify and greenify everything but your launcher

I had issues getting it up and runing as well. took me downloading it a couple times and probably flashing it 4 times. Not sure what was going on. rather than ODIN, I would do a battery pull, hold VOL+ and power and force it into recovery and reflashed. a few times...

Thanks for the replies guys. I used Odin because my external SD is full..I need to buy a bigger one.. anyway I'll download a new copy while I'm getting ready for work and try flashing it on the way.

Odined Stock NAE, then system crash

I odined L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_SPR.zip a couple of days ago, it gave me a clean system. That's what it was supposed to do. Then I rooted and install recovery, installed a Custom ROM (MIUI), and found battery couldn't be charged when phone was completely powered off... Frustrated, so I decided to go back to stock NAE..
Flashed the same file: L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_SPR.zip again using Odin today. System crashed after 4.4.2 was booted up. Keeped giving me these dialogs at this NEW system:
"Unfortunately contacts has stopped"
"Unfortunately the process COM.ANDROID.PHONE has stopped"
I clicked "OK" on the dialogs, they kept coming up, just wouldn't go away.. I couldn't do anything with these stupid errors...
I am confused, why a STOCK ROM still had issue? Isn't it supposed to wipe any data/partitions from previous
ROM(s)?

It doesn't wipe any data from previous ROM you have to go to recovery and do a factory reset.
