Basically I restored from a nandroid backup and I can no longer connect to wimax
Itll say authenticating with sprint....and then scanning again.
here is my wimax_mtd: http://pastebin.com/bpzYi1E2
and when I ran joeykrims Wimax RSA key checker it said I was missing them.
Im pretty sure an RUU will work but its alot of trouble AND I am out of town with no wifi (only tethering) so im stuck on 3g and cant dl a RUU.
any suggestions would be great
I have already flashed a new radio
DL the RUU or flash a radio.

Ive just read that if you lose your rsa keys then you lose em forevor even with RUU
this is really starting to scare me
In my nandroid backup i have a wimax.XXXXXXX.img but i cant restore it from a nandroid in recovery (even in advanced restore)
I dont know what else to do
ANY help would be great please....
I'm sure someone will yell at me, but whatever, maybe take this to the og evo or even 3d forums where they have some more devs. Maybe someone over there will know. Because as of right now it's looking like no one here does.

I had this problem before. I tried rruing and it does nothing. The RSA keys are made from the factory for each specific device. You cannot get them back with a rru. And the way clockwork works it can backup wimax keys on the shift, but cannot restore them (this is, among other reasons, why we need twrp.) Unless you made a backup of your keys with the terminal commands from the old froyo root instructions, or with shiftRR, you're screwed.
If your still under warranty, or pay for it each month, the only option is to take it back to sprint for a replacement ("I don't know what happen, I was playing fruit ninja, it froze, got really hot, it died, and when I plugged it back in, I couldn't connect to 4g, can you fix it?" was my excuse)
Really sucks, and had my on ginger**** for a long time cause of it.
Have ## access?
##data# if you're rooted download msl reader to get your msl # to edit. look under wimax and see if you're NAI is set to the mac address on the sticker behind your battery
so like if your NAI is [email protected] just do a profile update
you can also test it thru the clear network by changing the realm from sprintpcs.com to clears address which i'll update this post in a few minutes for you.
update test wimax by altering the NAI to your [email protected]

Are you using clockwork recovery or RA recovery?
grab your wimax image, look at it with the attached file, it's the only hex editor i know of that reads the .img's correctly.
Next take off your battery and note your wimax MAC id on the sticker.
open the .img file with the hex editor and do a search for your mac address.
alter it as needed..
on another note, if you have the msl# for your phone. ##data# it and check your NAI against you mac address. if they are different, change the NAI to that mac address. hit menu and commit changes.
phone will reboot and you should be golden
tbh...neither of those would work for many reasons..and the fix is quite involved..catch me or indirect on irc....there's a few tricks up our sleeves.

Umm, there is no Amon Ra recovery for the shift yet...
I did it to my test shift. Alter the image m5 it then zip it, run in recovery is my test a fluke or ?

Guys, Lay-off devnull. I'll tell you what. If I find his advice to be poor, I'll tell him myself. I just spent around 30 minutes talking to him and restoring his wimax (regardless of previous events) and I have to say, he's not -that- bad of a guy. Now, I can tell you that devnull's advice was poor in this situation because of the fact we all know from the huddle derpy mc-derpenstein (N-S-I) lost his 4g RSA keys.

I thought it was confirmed no update had the new PRI...
Is this hex edited to look like it or is it legit ... how to tell?
Dude, I'm, on this... I was up with the guys last night on the unrevoked thread debating this. Going to do so, right now. You said the one ending in .6, of course, but the ruu, or custom made..
Links to what's what and where you got them would help.
Thanks.

The question that needs to be asked is;
What PRI did you start the above process with?
if you already started with 1.40, then you did nothing new.
if you started with 1.34, well then you may have done something worth while.

If it does work, I think unrevoked should get at least some of it because they are the ones that made it so you can flash the recovery after doing the stock update.

is there some sort of problem flashing directing from the psfreedom enabled kernel back to your preferred one? Does that break wifi and 4g or something? If so then I understand the middle step of flashing the psfreedom disable file, but if not it seems like a useless extra step.

It brakes 4G & WIFI with psfreedom from what i know
sent from htc evo 4g
a little unnecessary....
you dont have to use the disable and then flash the kernel. If you are using a rom that doesnt have a dedicated disable.zip made for it (Fresh and Baked Snack have one) then all you do is need to flash the kernel you want of top. This is how I've did it since day one without any issues or lost data of anything. I usually do a Dalvik/cache wipe before flashing the kernel but im not certain that its necessary. Im glad some one made a thread to at least let people know that a nandroid backup isnt needed, cause those take forever...
where can i find the fresh dedicated disable hack, thanks!

Its somewhere in the original Psfreedom for evo thread. start and the back and work your way forward and you'll find it.
all this does is avoid the nand restore by flashing back your original kernal. The reason i didn't include this in my thread was because everyone has their own kernal. Sure many use the same but to make it a one step no mess up without people who can't read posting OMG OMG, just nand restore...done. But ya, i chose not to include a "disable" which is essentially a reverting of the kernal.
Hey theres a PSFreedom recovery now! Hopefully well get one for the EVO 4G like this one...

I'm not taking a shot at your english but from the sounds of it you rooted, you had a custom ROM installed? and then you put in your sim and re-ran the hack kit? I'm not 100% sure what you actually did but if the hack kit ran and you were rooted and using the rcmix rom, running the hack kit again is explicitly stated not a good idea and will jam you up. If you did this, consult the IRC chat room in the OP of the Hack Kit Thread, I'm sure attn1 and those guys have seen this situation before.

Can you get to hboot by powering up holding volume down and power button at the same time. Ifso see if it is s-off? If so you might be able to enter rocovery this way and flash a rom.
Usually when I have an issue with a rom or phone I flash the stock rooted att rom (pd98 zip) and start over with changing the rom. Sorry I can't give you the zip file I'm on the road all day today but if you search q&a section you will find it.

what it sounds like this user did was ran the hack kit and rooted fine (assumption), the mention of the RCmix ROM makes me believe he installed the ROM and then realized the SIM card wasn't in, so for some reason he/she ran the hack kit again? which if you read the OP of the hack kit, Attn1 explicitly states don't do that or you will get jammed up. I'm assuming Attn1 can fix this quickly since I imagine this issue has happened on more then one occasions and he'll be a better resource to fix this rather then us trying to troubleshoot this from the trial and error side. But if this user cannot get into the IRC chatroom, there isn't much more any of us can do.
So true some people just want to jump into situations without researching. We try to help I dont like to see someone turning their phone into a $400 paper weight lol

agreed. if people dont research HOW to root the phone, likely they dont know WHY to root the phone.
So if I can enter HBOOT. but when I try to enter recoveryel phone does the same. htc logo appears and disappears until it almost off the screen ..
and yes is it s-off.
There's a thread at the top of the Inspire General forum that explains exactly how to fix this. It's been there for a month. Do your research and you'll find the answers you need.
If the rooting process worked correctly.
Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"
Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)
This is for Rooted Stck ROM
http://www.fileserve.com/file/RtVn4Re/PD98IMG.zip
NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD
Hope it helps
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.

Because, if peeps are searching like they should, the thread is not really dead. It should still be getting views and if anyone has anything to add, they should do so. Provided the thread is not real old that info is obsolete and what they add is constructive.

I think the apn settings are in the infuse super everything thread. Check the android development stickies. For some reason when I try to look at that thread xda force closes.
And did you try going back to stock to see if the sim card would work?

Needing Rogers... I don't want to "roam" on my own network

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24694720&postcount=7 APN for Rogers
Also did you lose your imei when you went to JB?
other than apn maybe not working for rogers, jb does a big conversion of the file system and occasionally phones lose the imei or baseband in th process. check them in settings>about phone. if they are null or corrupt you may need to flash a modem or restore the /efs partition. check the paranoid or cm10 q/a threads for details.

What is a fool proof method, I can boot to cwm, I have tried flashing modems. But how could I restore the efs? And from what? As i'm unsure how to do this, I am new to repair... I would really appreciate walkthroughs, etc. even hold my hand...?
Rewards = Pick a game server, give me specs, and my pc can host.
50mbps down, 3mbps up, i7 @ 3.5ghz, 12gb ddr3, win7 ulti 64bit. I'm willing to fair trade help for fun.

Read into paranoids reference to imei... I didn't backup... missed that...serious noob mistake... please help... I can read my sticker imei... how do I "install" it....
*** Edit ***
I found this,

Could someone translate this to english, ie lamen terminology that makes sense? I don't mind re wiping the device so I can make a efs backup etc, and re image the device. Hell if this takes me 3-4hrs i'm ok... I just want to get this done properly...

it gets backed up during the install. (also the original is still intact it's just not mountable) look in the sdcard and see if there is a folder called backup with a subfolder efs. if so move the contents of /sdcard/backup/efs into /efs
if the backup itself is corrupt you can flash to stock with the pit file and repartition in odin or heimdall. i think there is a full rogers dump on here but you can use an att dump, only thing is you will lose the rogers boot screen forever if you use an att dump, unless someone finds the rogers param.lfs or makes a custom one. then flash a cwm kernel on it and make your own backup, i'd explain that but i forgot the block device and mount point for that. but i think qkster has a package for that so no worries, it should be in the cm10 thread. then upgrade to ics and then jellybean again. (ics first for cwm 6 untill a gb samsung kernel is developed with cwm 6.0, or the mtd conversion might not work) if you're lucky the efs restore will work this time, if not you will have to restore from your backup or the default backup.
if i would give better detail but i'm not exactly sure of it all right now because im already on cm10 so i can't see the orriginal rfs /efs folder and i'm not sure how qksters scripts save the /efs. but if you struggle with it pm me and ill give you my gmail/google talk and help work through it.
You could backup with infuse toolkit which makes a file you use in Odin to restore. There is a link to toolkit in cm10 op. This thread tells how to restore that file.

I'll pm you my google talk user. Just have to install it
Ty so much.
I've also installed es file explorer, which has a remote ftp feature. So i'm going to be trying to access that. (Root enabled, browse everything). Hoping I can access it effectively also...
- rmleloup
So, after multitude of re bricking... yes... heimdall, odin, rom manager, etc... going through red, green, blue, rainbow, and off blue cwm's, etc... I'm finally on dark knight 4.0.4, with a functional miui... It's alive, it works, now installing mass apps, oc'd, and awesome... Test calls function clean, bt is perfect (for phone purposes).
And top it off, celebrating with dean martin... and league of legends shortly.. and a keith's beer.
Thank you all, this forum is AMAZING.

That's amore!
anyone know how to restore the hidden menu that allows the prl to be updated?
i am on the stock jb rom from the fxz thread. rooted of course.
currently i go into the ##DATA# menu but there is no view option to update the prl?
i admit i could be derpy and missing something obvious..

I haven't been on stock in a while, but I thought there was an option in Settings --> System update or something? There should be a 'Update PRL' option.
Dang... my bad. I should have mentioned it being a custom prl for roaming with 3g.

What do you mean 'restore'? Maybe I missed it (or just don't remember it otherwise), but I don't ever remember reading about the P-Q having such a feature in a menu. The only way I've known to manually push a different PRL is via QPST.

Ahh ic... the restore was based on other forum reading were they mentioned how to flash a prl just by using the hidden menus. They mentioned a view option which got hidden in a later sprint update.... might have been for other phones only though.
If that's the case... then I will work on the qpst method.
I am rather new to custom prl updating...

Just make sure you search for drivers on windows *in all modes* becase there is a diffrent driver needed to see the phone while it is in bootloader mode than what is needed while the system is running.

hehe i had actually sent those as links to my email so i could find them thanks though.
i did find a couple of errors with them... 1. i had to get qpst 378 for the new jb rom. then it would see my phone.. the other was getting into the bootloader menu. i had to press up+down together to get the menu. pressing just down got me to fastboot. after a couple of hours i managed to figure it all out...
needless to say i am not using prl 56015 and now have full 3g roaming
i can see why you have to be careful with qpst though... it reminds me of the old nokia (candy bard phone days) diag program. oh you could mess a phone up good with that... all i wanted was to trun drm protection off so i could make my own ringtones
i thank you all for your help i will post a few notes on the other forums on what i had to do.. hopefully to help others.
Yeah I ran that PRL for a little while, it took so long to search though I decided to switch back to 16015.
I am pretty sure if you mess anything up with QPST you can fix by flashing the FXZ again. (that is, if you didn't make Sprint mad roaming a ton.) After you do that, and whatever PRL work you need you can then flash a recovery or rom again.
I believe there is an app to swap PRL's on the fly if you really want, but I think that would be on s4gru.com somewhere.

Yup that's what I meant, could be attributed to the area I am in though. Good luck!
