Ok. Let me run some info.
1) Rooted
2) Flashed to run Page Plus
3) CDMA
4) Stock ROM currently
So, I've been nagged by the sprint download for a long while now. I finally decided to go ahead and run the update that was suppose to only install the Sprint Optimizer. Well, after running it and phone restarting, I can't get connected to WiFi. In settings, WiFi now says "Error" as the status.
Well, being the genius that I am, I decided to try and find the download and re-run the update. Couldn't find it. So, I went on XDA Developers and downloaded the PACMAN ROM. When attempting to flash, I get "Error 7". Having no clue what that is, I tried flashing again and got the same error code.
Does anyone have some kind of ROM to flash to get my wifi back or knows of what to do to fix this? Thanks!
FYI. I did go to:
Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>automatic connections
and turned it off, rebooted, and nothing still for wifi.
If your phones not s-off it won't be able to flash anything other than HTC/sence roms but if you do that you can flash any sence Rom with either kernel and that will fix it. Being rooted and trying to update will mess up the kernel witch controls thing like WiFi and data connectivity also CPU speed and other things.

Ahhh haaa!! Thanks! Going to find a sense rom to flash now.
Welcome! I had the same experience when I was useing a Rom that didn't accept a kernel...

Today has been hell! I switched over to Next G Mobile since PP had been down since yesterday (everyone on H***** Forums was talking about it and the buyout). Even though I'm a dealer, I found out that the stuff is actually done MANUALLY. When I put in a request for a port on my dealer page, it goes to someone at NGM to do it manually. Anyways, after 3 hours of on the phone with them, I finally got ported over and 3G data working on my EVO 3D. I re-rooted the phone since I had done a hard reset. Now, I'm scared to add a rom and hose it up again. I think I'm going to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II from Ebay (less than $100 if you buy the bad ESN models) and go from there.

Hi
So I tried the alpha version of CM7 last night. Great, but still to early for me. So this morning I went to a restored version of a previous rom I had. I have internet and texting service working. But I'm unable to make any phone calls. I was able to update my PRL without issue, but firmware update resulted in error 1233.
Anything I can do?
I've tried wiping the davlick cache and cache 3x. Wiping data. Trying a different nandback up now.

Maybe a bad backup? Might have to do a full wipe and reflash whatever rom you were on and TB your apps and data.

I did.
After a clean rom install, was able to a profile and PRL update. Still no changes. Can receive calls, use internet, etc. Just cannot make outgoing phone calls ...
Hmmmmm....Got me stumped. You need someone much brighter then me. Good luck. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
You need to call sprint and have them reprovision your phone and t service. Tell them out are roaming too often and unable to make roaming phone ccalls from Verizon's towers and should be able to. It may take 2 or 3 different people before you get a Good one. Also, try to get to tech support, not just any rep

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. What is the "t" service?
Ive called sprint already and was told it should be fixed within 24-48 hours after being elevated to a higher tech support level. I don't know if it should take that long normally or what.
P.S. I don't think I've ever roamed in NYC.
What settings do you have in your roaming settings? Home only or automatic?

Hmmmmm....... Do you know how to run the ruu and return back to s-on? If not I'll link ya. It's going to suck if you get the 1.50
Before you do that, go to the dev section and download the stock rom from haus and give that a go. Seems like I heard someone else have this problem (or something very similar) and it fixed it.

Which ROM are you using? It's usually a good idea to use the stock one while troubleshooting over the phone so they don't see anything unusual with it. If you do take it in though I would personally leave it unlocked and just flash the 2.08 RUU. The bootloader will still show "locked" with s-off so they probably won't notice it.
I went back to my stock rooted rom yesterday hoping that might fix the issue. So I've left it as that :|
So to flash the 2.08 RUU, I just take the htc update?
If you are on a stock rom, rooted or non rooted, (doesnt matter for this) go on sprint website and choose "chat". Tell them in chat that your getting "error 16" popping up on your phone when trying to call. Let them know you googled error 16 and the fix is called a "HLR Refresh", and you would like them to preform that for you. They will ask you to pull your battery, if they dont have you pull it then they are NOT doing the Refresh. This should fix your issue. If not you may have to run the RUU and head on over to sprint store. Personally I would try all I could before handing my phone to a rep, the reps solution is going to be a software update
Tried that earlier. Reset some values. All while on the stock nonrooted sprint ROM. They keep saying its a hardware issue.
Beats me how its a hardware issue.

He's not getting error 16. I think this is something completely different. I had this happen a few weeks back and I just flashed the stock rooted Rom to fix it. BTW lmbebo, when you flashed xHausx stock rooted Rom did you update your PRL and profile?
Every time I've flashed a new rom or restored a nand backup I've updated my proflile and PRL. I've gone through the steps to redo handset activation as well.
I've pretty much made my phone stock except for the s-off status at this point with no resolution.
I'll see if I have enough time to change that back tonight and get into a sprint store tonight. If I can't I'm SOL until next week in terms of time to get into the store.
I guess just for future issues (if this ever arises again).
I've flashed the stock 513 and newest 0808 radios.
I've put rooted stock, xhausx's stock rom, cleanROM, CM alpha 7.
Dropped the phone off. Not sure in what condition or when I'll get it back. Its a network issue for sure.
Can't accèss my google voice website account now either.
Thanks for all the help everyone! appreciate it!
Google voice corrupted my account. All calls were being forwarded to google voice for some reason.
Have brand new /Locked/ e3d now.
Guess I have to wait for an update to the unlock process now? to unlock hboot 1.50 ?
Ok so I rooted this bad-boy I used the HTC unlock method, upon selection of my ROM audibly was miui I wiped and flashed but I did not flash in fastboot. I flashed in recovery and it actually took, problem is I noticed my signal had reduced to 1x speed. Upon flashing to a sense ROM which is cleanrom3.0 I used it to update prl and profile but didn't help stayed the same. So I called Sprint they tried to work some magic to no avail. I then took it upon myself to go complete stock and rid root. Once the ruu flashed and I booted, I noticed I had 3g I checked prl version number and it was the same as before I went to stock. So i didn't get to happy I still wanted more research info for the cause. I then did a speed test and oh god was it slow. Download was 0.02mb/sec upload was 0.70mb/sec strange that upload was faster. But now I would like help to see what I should do next, Sprint tried to say it was hardware. Remember my phone is brand new just died insurance claim. I was thinking flashing a now ROM but thus time make sure I do it in fastboot first. Advice would be nice?

I know if your stock sometimes you can get a lemon I had a brand new evo 3d on launch day and the radio part of the phone went bad data sucked and at times wouldn't work... I wasn't rooted.. That was in a week of using the phone....
Another thing is if you know you msl and some of the program codes you could do that reactivate your phone hands free thing it might help you...
I did it back on the EVO back in the day.....
If I remember it was something along the lines of that ##data## edit msl and somewhere in that you could do a reset...
Do this at your own risk tho.... The worst thing that would happen is your phone might not reactivate and you would have to do it again online sprints site...
Yeah sounds about right with the lemon thing, other things are going wrong now that I'm stock. I did the mos thing once before with sprint actually three times before. When I first got it and later when it started tweaking.

So, I've been jumping back and forth between Atrix CM9 and CM7 roms and running the .36p radio. Yesterday on CM9, i started getting a large amounts of random reboots and finally got things settled by doing a factory reset in CWM and flashing a clean cm9 rom. However, whenever I turned on wifi, the phone would crash and reboot to the Dual Core logo. I tried flashing another CM9 rom and it didn't crash, but the wifi radio would never seem to pick up any AP's (i'm at home).
I've gone as far as changing to the .37p radio and going back to cm7 to no avail... I'm a bit worried I might have "fried" the wifi radio on the phone.
Did you do a full wipe? Use fastboot to wipe properly before flashing any ROM. Plenty of threads with instructions.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Looking at the fast boot command, I'm not sure how that does anything different then the clockwork mod wipe... but I will give it a shot.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
Sorry, but your wifi/bluetooth card is dead. My Atrix got the exact same symptoms a few days ago. Both WiFi and bluetooth are on the same chip. When the system tries to reference them, it fails to locate the hardware and crashes/reboots.
In fact, in researching this topic, I found dozens of threads about this. We should make a sticky about it at this point. Best Buy was kind enough to take back my phone (unlocked bootloader, rooted, cwm, custom fonts, startup, etc.) if I restored it all to stock. If you want Motorola/AT&T/the store you purchased it at to not void your warranty, you should flash the 2.3.6 SBF. Just be cautious and read all about it. But that is the only way that Motorola will service a modded phone

Nothing like the same. Clockwork wipe only does data and cache. You erase boot, system, preinstall, cache, user, webtop, etc., via fastboot. I've posted the procedure probably more than 20 times before.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Yeah unfortunately even after a fastboot wipe, the phone's bluetooth and wifi were gone. I was also over the year warranty. Luckily, I picked up a barely used one on Craigslist and restored my backup to it. Now i've got an expensive battery charger (and spare phone should i need it).
If there were any tips you'd have on restoring to a new phone? I've restored my phone a lot and worked on a lot of android phones (I work at a repair shop), but I've never restored data/settings from one phone to another. Of course its the same model, but I can only imagine the issues that could arise out of such an operation
Thanks!
I just made sure I did a fastboot full wipe of the new phone, then placed my clockworkmod directory on the internal (external should be ok too) storage and did a restore. After the restore, I re-flashed the latest version of the rom I was running on top of it with Google apps and it booted fine. Afterwards, I made sure to do a permissions repair and reboot.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of people are having this problem. Like me for example :[
So far there is no solution that I'm aware of, after trying practically everything I could think of and find on the internet... I'm pretty sure it's hardware related. I bet the phone just isn't very high quality. How much did it cost again? $600? + all of the dumb accessories for it. Normally when you see a pattern of failures you would call it a design flaw, but apparently when it comes to expensive electronics they call it out of warranty.

did your wifi
For anyone interested, here is a supposed solution to the problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYz_RiuFVRk
It will require you to open the phone up, and solder the "wifi battery" into place. I'm not sure what the hell that thing is, but that guy in the video called it a battery. Voids warranty etc. Good luck.

I'd give it a try, if I could understand what exactly he does. It looks like he just pries it up with a screwdriver and then pushes it back down.

I know someone will eventually tell me to do a search, but I have and can't make any sense of most of the so called guides. What I have been finding is for the international version, or some generic crap that don't really help me. My phone is stuck on the Samsung logo when you try and power it on. I really need to fix this!!! I did SIM unlock it, rooted it, and installed OnlyOne ICS because I got tired of waiting for slow a$$ ATT to get the ICS update out. Anyhow, the phone worked great for 2 months and now this morning it kept saying, blah blah has crashed, etc. So I rebooted the phone and lord behold, the stupid thing won't work anymore. The only thing I can do with it is hold the power button and down volume button to get to the "Odin Mode". Other then that, the phone is useless. I would love to find some guide that is more specific on fixing this problem? Maybe I over looked one, but I am at work and don't have the time to search thru hundreds of threads, etc. I will when I get home, but really need to fix the phone ASAP since I use it for work too. Any info would be awesome.
I think your talking about Download mode.

If you can get into download mode (odin mode) just flash the attstock Rom to unroot.
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right hand corner where it says uroot and follow the directions. Works great for me used it multiple times.

I do appreciate the quick responses, but I'm about to head out and will try to re-flash it later. I am just concerned about the data / pictures, etc I have on the phone itself. I know I can pull the 16gb sd card I have and it will be safe, but if I use the ODIN way to re-flash to stock, will it erase all my content I have? I thank god I have a MyTouch 4g as a backup, but all my work related stuff is on my Note, so I am really up a creek right now without it.

If you unroot all of the data stays on your note. No worries. Good luck
Just one thing, when you unroot and it is finished the att logo will come up with the "rethink possible" after that just go into Samsung recovery and reboot from there.
It doesn't say that on the website.

I got it to work when I got some time. I used a Wi-Fi connection at MacDonalds and downloaded the onlyone beta 5 rom. Thank god I had my laptop with me also. I was on beta 4 but I also got into clockwork mod and fixed permissions & cleared cache. Then went and flashed the new rom, hoping my data and installed apps would still work. Well my phone is working great again. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!

Woke up this morning and grabbed my phone for it to say that a "Service Update" had been applied and was completed. Now my phone won't send messages or get any data. I'm rooted with s-on running MeanBean v 1.9 and it hasn't given me any problems until this service update. What is this update and what exactly did it do to my phone?

u should have found out what it was before u updated it.. its always better to wait to see if anyone else got it and updated first.. well thats what i would have done.. what kind of update.. it should have said something?
You could try this, it got my data back.
Try to set your active profile to 1.
Go to phone, type ##3282#, enter msl for password, go to data profile and switch it to 1, hit menu- commit modifications, phone will reboot and hopefully you will have data again.

I found out what it was. Someone else has put a different phone on my account by activating it somewhere else, not sure how. It replaced it on my device list from Sprint with a different phone. Called them and got everything settled out and its working fine now. They are having their security team look into it cause its possible someone was trying to steal my service. Who knows but at least its working now.
