What is it with this phone and 2.3.4 roms? - HTC EVO 3D

I sold my 3D to someone and have been trying to put a new rom on it for em. Everytime I flash a 2.3.4 rom everything works EXCEPT during a call you can hear the person talking but they cant hear you. And I know the speaker works because voice commands work fine but during it call it doesn't work, period.

Sounds Like a personal phone issue..I've been on 2.3.4 with multiple roms and never had this issue.
Sent from a little place called ETERNITY in the 3rd Dimension.

I never had that problem running 2.3.4 ROMs either.

I honestly don't get it. Every 2.3.4 rom I tried to put on the phone would have the issue with not being able to be heard during a call. I tried 4 different roms and had the same issue everytime. Put a 2.3.3. rom on it and I could be heard during calls fine. I dunno but I got tired of fooling with it.

I did notice one thing though... when wiping in recovery I got an error that said
E:can't give path "/sdcard/.android_secure" to format_volume
Think that might have something to do with it?

OP, did you do the EVRC-B mod? If so, undo it.

I don't even know what that is lol. This is basically the scenario. I can flash ANY 2.3.3 rom or lower than that and everything works perfectly fine. But as soon as I flash any rom with a 2.3.4. base everything works except for callers being able to hear me. It's crazy... I even tried the stock 2.3.4. deodexed update and it was the same thing. Flash a 2.3.3. rom and boom, they can hear me again.

The EVRC-B mod enhances voice, the same settings found on Verizon phones but in some cases it might not be supported by the tower. Its accessed in the EPST edit menu, via your MSL code.
But if you're flashing the ROMs with voice performance changing, I'm not sure whats going on. As I seriously doubt the EPST settings get changed by the ROM.
I could be wrong.

I don't know either... im clueless. First time i've ever had a hangup like this when flashing. I put it on the phone for her and everything was all good until she got a call and realized they couldn't hear what she was saying. I thought maybe it was a bad flash but hell i've tried every rom in the development forum almost.

none
Give the guy his money back, put it under your car tire, then smoke the tires, that phone sounds retarded.

Try revolution by Mike and see if that shows the same issue.
If it does then either your doing something wired while flashing, have some app messing crap up, or its hardware problem somehow.
Likely its user error somehow though. I dunno any roms that flip evrb on for voice by default for the mere fact that its not supported everywhere.

But how would it be user error only for the 2.3.4. roms lol. Im sayin... i'm not doing anything different. Just download, transfer from pc to sd and flash through recovery like I always have. If it was user error it seems like id have problems with the 2.3.3. roms too. I gave up on it though.. technically it's not even my phone anymore lol

Flash back to 2.1

Can someone lead me to the files I need to flash my Fascinate back to 2.1 from the Froyo update. I'm not sure what files or Odin i need to do this. I'm having an issue with my 3G disappearing and dropping since going to the OTA froyo and never had problems with it on 2.1 so i'm trying to go back to stock 2.1, maybe even try to goto Froyo again [maybe something got corrupted or something]. Before i got about getting a new one, i'd like to see if I can flash back to 2.1 and get it working again.
There's a stock package that you can use to Odin back to DL09 (eclair) here. That same thread gives an easy way to get back to froyo if you want to try again.
Alternatively, if you're just having connectivity issues, you could simply try another radio. Some people have a better time with DL09 modem, at least compared to EB01 and EC01 (not sure whether anyone finds it better than the current one), and you can Odin just the modem here. You might want to try this first and see if it does the trick. DL09 modem works fine with leaked froyo releases, so it should be okay with the official one.

Do you think changing the radio version or whatever will fix my problem here. I mean in my search to find out if anyone else has been having their 3G randomly disappear i havent see to much report. I just dont get how it was working fine with 2.1, once i installed froyo it started this problem, now im flashed back on 2.1 and it seems still "broken." Even the Verizon techs had no idea what was going on with it when i took it in. I mean can software screw up the hardware?
I was told by a Verizon rep that they knew that this OTA update would cause this problem in a certain percentage of devices and they just sent me a new one. The second in 2 weeks. When I went in and complained they just went straight to the computer and ordered me a new 1 both times, no ?'s asked really. Just hope you're still under warranty.

[Q] Completely garbled audio while on Airave

I need some help, and I'm trying to figure out if I caused my own problem or not. I've got a rooted Evo3D, 1.4 Eng HBoot, stock ROM. I noticed while at another location and latching on to an Airave that my audio was extremely garbled. In fact, all audio while making a phone call is completely garbled. I chalked it up to maybe just issues in that Airave's setup.
Now, I have one of my own. My Wife's Epic works on it perfectly. When latched on to my Airave, I get that same garbled audio. When I'm not on the Airave, everything is fine. I've tried 2 different ROM's with the same result. I went back to the .530 radio, same result. I reflashed the stock kernel while on the stock build, same result. I'm currently on Android Revolution HD which if I remember correctly has a different kernel built into it. Same thing.
Am I missing anything else here? Is there anything that I may have done while rooting the phone originally that might have caused my problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? I believe the Airave its perfectly fine, as my Wife's phone works with no issue, and a friend has come over with her Evo 4G and it works just fine as well.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer!
EDIT: Figured it out. The one thing I forgot I had done. I had enabled EVRC-B and that apparently doesn't play nice with the Airave. Changed those settings back to stock and all is well.

Wish I would have seen this earlier I could have saved you the troubleshooting. I had the same problem a couple months ago and yep evcr-b doesn't play nice with the airraves. Glad you got it fixed though.

People not getting some of my texts

I have had this problem before but not to this extent. A lot of my text messages aren't being received on the other end. I'm on Warm Rom and I have tried reflashing the rom, kernel, updating prl and profile. When I called Sprint about this issue before they just had me flash to stock and then gave me the runaround until the issue seemed to just resolve itself.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anything else I can try? Is there a way to install a different PRL? I can't flash the new radio because I'm on hboot 1.5. Or should I flash back to stock and take the update for now?
ummm... why don't you try flashing a different ROM bud. but even still there are no details in your post. warm ROM? cool story. so is that sense 3.0 or 3.5? what kernel?
flash a different ROM. if that fixes the issue, well good for you. if it doesn't, then take your phone into sprint because it has defective pArts.
also, can you make phone calls and browse the internet?

Yep, just went through this from 1/14-1/18. Not your ROM, not your phone, it's a Sprint issue. Only things you need to do on your end is wipe the cache in your messaging app, and double check via Google Voice (if you have it synced w/ your Sprint #) to see which messages are (or aren't) going through. The network will eventually purge whatever is backlogged hours or days later to the respective recipients, probably in the early morning hours, and you'll be accused of duplicate texts. Yay Sprint.
Yeah other people started telling me of issues with texting as well. I went back to stock and flashed all the updates. I guess I'll go back and unlock it and reinstall my custom Rom. Thanks for the replies guys.
I have problems like this and SMS radio errors on Sense ROMs all the time, especially at night. I never have a problem on MIUI though so maybe you should give that a try

I have thought about MIUI and other AOSP roms several times, but every once in a while I do want to watch something in 3d. If they could get 3d fixed, I would probably give it an honest go.
Doubt that will ever happen :/
Yeah I kind of figured that.

[Q] Can't receive texts (weird situation), can it be Leedroid tweaks?

I don't want to turn this into a blaming thing, but just looking to rule out some possibilities.
I have the stock rom with chad's kernel and leedroid tweaks (flashable zip). I'm on the 2.17 version too, but baseband that was previous to it because I had texting issues with the newest baseband.
The problem is, without warning and without doing anything (no new apps, no new mods, etc) I will stop receiving text messages. I have to dial a phone number and when the call connects, I get my texts. I have to have tech support push something to the phone to fix it, but it lasts maybe a week or 2 before it craps out again...
I didn't have this happen until I did go back to a stock rom and put leedroid tweaks on (rather than I think Eternity Rom at the time?). I thought it was Sprint being sprint for a while... I tried going back to full stock (as in data wipe too), but that didn't resolve it. Now, my texts were already broken when I tried that, so that might not have said much. But since I didn't have texts working on full stock, I didn't connect it to leedroid.
Now, my brother, about a month later, did the same thing. He flashed a rom (but can't remember which) then leedroid tweaks because they weren't a part of it. He has the Evo 3D too. After flashing leedroid, he mentioned having issues receiving texts... I just don't know if this is coincidence or if there's something to this.
I don't really see what flashing that mod could do to break my texting, but my knowledge of this sort of thing is pretty limited. Is this even possible? Is someone else having or had similar problems like this?
EDIT: After talking with tech support, and since this has been an on-going issue, they are rebuilding my text messaging service from scratch, or something along those lines. Said it would take a while, so I don't know if it worked yet. But if this means anything to someone, I'm curious.

Thanks for the call to receive tip man! I frequently will stop getting texts randomly and it sucksssss. I carry around my Ipod with me and just send a text to my phone if I think I'm not getting texts. It is quite annoying sumtimes...
also im running mean rom v3.0 with leedroid tweaks and chads latest kernel
Swyped from mah 3vo!
I have been running leedroid tweaks on meanrom for a few weeks now with no issues. Do you use the stock messaging app, or something downloaded from the market?
I currently using Leedroid Tweaks and AnthraX kernel.
Im not having any issues so my guess is sprint fault since it happened even after you went back to Stock.
Thanks guys. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it... It could have been the rebuild thing they said they were doing or it was me flashing a custom rom. I have since flashed back to the setup I had before but everything still working. Oh well, was just really frustrating.

Constant Phone issues on ALL JB ROMS

On every Jellybean rom, I have calling issues. On some roms, call audio wont work. On the rom I just flashed, it would not make or receive calls all together. Also, this happens only after a certain period of time. And it goes from sporadic occurances to permanent. It takes about a day or two for these issues to start appearing. This is so god damn frustrating because in the beginning the rom works perfectly, I spend all my time setting it up, and then a day or so later, I get these issues that make the phone completely unusable. Its absolutely ridiculous, and If anyone has any ideas, please please let me know. I love the JB roms but they all seem to make my phone unusable after a short time.
Please help....
JB roms are still a work in progress. And your problems could be caused/made worse by your setup (apps, widgets, tweaks, etc...). If you are using different kernels/radio, it can also contribute to problems. There are just too many variables.
My answer : use an ICS rom. ICS roms are alot more stable on our phone right now.

I am observing similar issues. I didn't used to happen before. I mean it did happen but it was a rare thing. But now it is more often. Almost everyday I have to reflash because of loosing phone audio.
I was rocking AOCP 3.1 , Worked really sweet and then decided to update to go for AOCP 4.1 and since then no rom that I tried have saved me. In fact I had to revert back to stock. What rom are you using?
People, it's a known issue on all JB Roms.

I have the exact same issue now, It doesnt look like any rom is saving me right now.. my phone wont make calls or receive texts at all. I was running cookies and cream 4.1.2 and everytime i flash a JB rom it just seems to get worse and worse...
EDIT: I got it back on ICS. I guess I will just have to wait to use any JB roms... its unfortunate cause I love the JB roms hahaha
I have had issues with JB as well. I, just like the OP, would experience a perfectly working phone for a day or two then **** would hit the fan for no apparent reason. The phone would start locking up, randomly rebooting, apps would fail or not load, etc etc etc.
On most ROM's I didn't even have anything installed outside of the stock apps that CAME with the ROM.
Since then I have moved to a deoxed stock ICS ROM and honestly am not looking back. ICS is fast, stable, feature packed, and JUST WORKS.
My thing with JB was it's speed...but I was also comparing a barebones JB to the stock Gingerbread that came with the phone. I wasn't aware of how fast ICS was or I would have just gone with it long before hand!
But yeah, either way it goes, for me, no matter the ROM, JB always seemed to mess up at one point or another. Got annoying. Been going with ICS for over a week now with ZERO issues what so ever. No reboots, no crashes, no freezing, no nothing.
NEVERMIND..... ICS worked for one call, and now no calls work... great....
ICS roms are very stable.
You may have flashed your rom/kernel/radio incorrectly, or made some tweaks, or installed incompatible apps... There are too many variables.
Revert back to completely stock setup and see if the problems persist.

Same. I think it's the same for a lot of people, and I think the ones who say things run great either ignore the problems or are just extremely lucky.
Switch to Padawan. It's rock solid and you get all the fanciness of jelly bean. Since switching to it I've completely lost the itch to try out random JB ROMs. I have cool animations, Google Now, and ICS Browser+. And until I rebooted earlier to mess with stuff, I was at 142 hours uptime without any problems.
I'm not calling anyone a liar, though. I just think some people ignore more or are, as stated, lucky. I've done wiped everything, went back and wiped stuff post ROM, ran 3rd party (3rd ROM party) kernels and the ones that come with it. I've set cron to fix permissions on boot. And other than gapps -- which I always flash what the dev says to -- I run about ten 3rd party apps, and that's mostly made up of solid apps -- dropbox, exdialer, ics browser+.. etc..
Padawan, or even Nebula.
These ROMs are by the same dev, and the only difference is that Nebula is based off of Canadian version, which has even less bloat. It is better than stock.
I have been on Nebula for about a week, and no random reboots, no lockup, no phone problems. Everything just works.

I like padawan, and Im on it now. But i still am getting this random issue where calls do not go through. Its so aggravating that Im about to smash my phone against the wall. Its happening all the time now and when I need to make a call, I cant. god damnit
have you flashed the most recent modem?
Yes, that was my next question.
Have you at any point flashed a different kernel/radio/modem? If you have, or if you do not know, search for stock kernel/radio/modem and flash them to see if it helps.
yes, uclf6 modem but eventually it just gives out.. idk what the issue is here everything works fine for a few days and out of the blue when I need my phone i cant receive or make calls anymore its INFURIATING

I have had a similar issue with the JB rom's...so far I've tried only two and seem to find the aokp_quicyatt_jb_milestone-1 rom. I have noticed issues with my phone and LTE network coverage...meaning, I can see the signal go from 4G LTE to 3G to H, then gone...I looked at the phone status settings and noticed the mobile network type with this rom is LTE:13 and with the stock ICS rom (prior to rooting and flashing) it was LTE:14...is there a way that I can change it via terminal? Thank you in advance for any help on this. The one big difference I can see so far is the battery life...much better. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Issues are known....Thread Closed & Thank You.
