Anyone see EVDO stop working on TP???

Ive searched but haven't had any luck. My phone has been stuck in 1x for the past 3 days, and I have been in areas with strong EVDO signal (Sprint TP)... There were a couple of things that might have caused it (tho I am just guessing) 1. Hard reset and selected clear NAND (not sure what it does or if it could affect this). 2. Loaded WMlonglife which controls whether it connects to 1x or EV. I flashed my phone soon after installing WMLonglife, but I cant imagine it making changes that would survive a flash and a half dozen hard resets. I did re-install it just to be safe, but even after I forced EV I couldnt even load a web page.
I have tried everything I can think of to fix it... Loaded new radio, Flashed back to stock (couldnt get to epst with current ROM), ran prl update and profile update. Re-installed WMlonglive (was able to force 3G, but couldnt even load up a web page).
If anyone has any idea what the hell I did to my phone I would appreciate the help. I opened a ticket with Sprint, so we'll see if they just tell me to replace it...
Thanks

I would open up EPST by dialing ##778# and check your Modem Settings. Preferred Mode should be set to Automatic. Also check under Security and make sure your username doesn't look messed up. If all else fails you could also try ##RTN# to do a full restore and force your phone to be reprogrammed.

You have to uninstall WMlonglife and hard reset...Had the same issue...un-installing doesn't cut it!
You have to do the hard reset!

Thanks for the suggestions... I looked at the EPST and the user name etc looks ok - Would resetting the device require Sprint to set it back up? or just update profile after??
And as far as wmlonglife the phone was flashed after installing so that should be gone. I was afraid that flashing the phone with it installed (and locked at 1x) may have caused the issue.

Just want to say 'thanks' again to 8notime - resetting worked like a charm... Nice to see EV up there in the top bar again... now I can dump this stock ROM again and get on with my life

And I will be staying away from WMlonglife for now.. I dont know whether it was the culprit but I have no other explanation...
