After countless ROM upgrade attempts, here are my problems

[bimmerd00d]

I always seem to get the rom updated, 3.27 radio. DCD, Dizzle, or any other rom produces same results. Calls/SMS work fine, even 1X data works. Anytime it goes to EVDO it can't transmit data. I get the dreaded 1012 error. I've run through all the threads here, and i have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions? If i force 1x, it works consistently, and the signal is at about 5 bars constantly. If i enable EVDO, the signal drops to 1-2 bars in teh same spot. I can reproduce this all the time.

the 1012 error is probably due to programming: mobile ip profile 1, username and pass. you might try assigning yourself a new NAI by creating a new username on sprint.com (from your pc)

as for the signal strength... you are seeing 2 different signals. EvDO and 1xRTT are on completely different bands, and should be different signal levels. However, the sprint evdo icon replacement (you know how the antenna icon on the sprint build shows more "bars") is misleading - it has a max 7 bars for 1x and max 4 bars for Ev (i think - going from memory- im at work)

I can't change that info on the site, it's a family acct and my dad has the info for that. I am on the phone with someone now, and it looks like they are changing some stuff on their end. we've troubleshooted the phone, she says if this doesn't work, they're blaming the phone. I'm not ready to blame the phone yet :)

EDIT: She fixed it! apparently she disabled and re-enabled my data services and that did the trick. Cool info about the signal strength indicator, i thought i was only getting about 50% EVDO. Apparently i'm getting 2-3 in here, and i got 4 when i went to lunch so I suppose it's about right.

tell them to assign you a new NAI. then run IOTA and let it populate the mip profile with this new info (could take a few hours after they assign new NAI before its all the way thru their system)

I'll keep that in mind if this ever happens again. It's fixed and working like a champ now. I am curious as to why this happened though...it has to be something with me flashing all these roms and whatnot. If i keep flashing ROM's is there any chance that this will happen again?

officially: i dont know
unofficially: i think that as 3.16 is an internal, testing rom, it does some strange things. the radio is a major upgrade, and the official updater goes through a longer process. i first upgraded using the real RUU, and i have never lost any settings. but something about breaking the update down into parts and flashing the radio individually wipes it. that said, i dont think we will see this again, unless we see another upgrade that is this major.
