[dodge_longhorn]

alright so when mynn released his 1/07/2011 rom i flashed it and my 4g corrupted anywho i flashed back to the dang sprint stock rom the first stock rom i unrooted all over again no 4g i when back to a newer sprint rom still no 4g also tried flashing new radios and wimax and nothing...i do have 4g being my g/f phone is able to connect mine just sits turning on..scanning..connectiong to sprint...turning off...scanning connecting to spring and so forth so any ideas of what i can do to fix this...does a nand restore help any by chance

Before you proceed you should check out this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-evo-4g...ml#post2014695

If that does not help, then you can follow these directions to get back to unrooted stock.


These steps should work for your problem.

1. go to shippedroms.com

2. click supersonic...

3. choose an RUU updater

4. run the RUU updater on your PC

5. Make sure it boots properly

6. reboot once or twice to be sure its OK

9. go to unrevoked find the link public:forever [RootWiki] for the S-ON tool. (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forev...orever-son.zip)

10. find the Frequently asked Questions on this page public:forever [RootWiki] and follow the directions.

11. make sure to format your SD card, so no trace is left that you have been rooted (ie: pc136.img, custom roms .zips, the s-on or s-off or unrevoked .zips....just make it blank.

This should fix you you a stock state.

First, check that you have valid RSA keys. Do a search and you will find plenty of help with that.

What does he have to worry about his card. What is on a person's SDCard is none of Sprint's business. Just take the card out!

ok so i was able to change my mac back and when i do this command its supposed to look like this

adb shell
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA

returned output show appear as this:
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | busybox grep RSA
cat mtd0 | busybox grep RSA
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA
ReRSA
RSA requests
RSA replies
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
#

It should look just like the above
the important lines are BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY and END RSA PRIVATE KEY.
If you have those two lines, your keys are still likely to be intact.
If those two lines are missing, your keys are likely missing.

but i do not have the RSA Private key nor the end rsa private key...i never back these up being it was not one of the step in the begging anywho how can i fix 4g is it possible??

Just a safe measure... i have seen (but completely believe) threads thats suggest that sprint can tell the phone has been rooted after being unrooted. I would just do it, as a precaution. it is not required, but would not hurt.

I also know that some sprint repair techs make their own rules, such as the Palmdale, Ca repair center where a scratch on the battery door equates to an invalidated warranty.

Ikillen I'm surprised at your answer seeing you have a post about being turned away for rooting. The problem the OP has is directly related to him flashing roms which only happens since he rooted his phone, which voided his warranty for software related problems like losing his 4g. Sprint is getting smarter and all they have to do is look at your sd card files and if you have roms, unrevoked logs, or any other root related files they can turn you away. They can tell if you rooted and went back to stock if you leave traces on your sd card so by all means format it or remove it before you go back to Sprint.

To OP, you stated you had a nandroid backup, did you do a nand restore to see if you had your wimax image backed up?

yes did both nand which took me to the first sprint rom what ever version but that does not change the wimax stuff at all but i was able to change my mac address but now my RSA keys are not i guess good anymore any ideas and i am not to worry about sprint they are still pretty stupid where i am at and i can make my phone like i just got it not to long ago hahaha plus i want to figure out this 4g i used to be good at this stuff

Did you make a nand backup when you flashed Myns 1/7/11? If you did check in your nand backup for wimax.img, that should be the backup of you working RSA keys if they worked before the flash.

Take your wimax.img and flash it in a pc36img.zip it will flash and it will work if your RSA keys are legit in that backup
