Have 4G activated/MAC address but no signal

RidleyJ329 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2010, 10:36 AM

I don't know if it makes a diff but I've been a long a time CM user and decided to change up a little and go back to a sense Rom for a little while but with any Rom including a stock one I am not getting 4g. I get the MAC address for it and my togge says its on. ive tried multiple diff roms along with different radios with no luck. If anyone could help I would much appreciate it.

I WAS on the latest nightly for cm6. I know it don't have 4G..... yet. Which is one of the reasons I left it But it should still work on any sense Rom I would think. I'll take a look at that fix and see what happens. thanks

As stated CM6 does not support, you may wish to try another rom. I am on OMJ 3.6 and runs great.

i went to the link previously recommended:
[GUIDE] Bad WiMax MAC? Broken 4G after update? Fix HERE!
this help me to figure that my MAC address was wrong and i was able to fix it. now i i get alerted that there is 4G is in the area but never connects.

it got me to look for this:
[Q] What Removes your RSA PRIVATE KEY
from here i was having trouble determining if my RSA key is intact or not. i was able to find out that if it is not im pretty much screwed.

some how i ended up here too:
STOP - Do not flash your Radio/WIMAX

ive also tried the 4G permissions fix which seems to brick my phone every time i try. any other suggestions out there???
