Talking I got 4g to work on DamageControl 3.2.3

I noticed a number of people having troubles with 4g and the latest update. I cannot account for other ROMS since I usually only use DC but I was able to resolve the issue.

The issue seems to be related to the latest version of the wimax radio. Calkulin has put together a very nice post with all of the current/previous versions of the radios that are available for the EVO. The latest version of the Wimax Radio did not work with either of DC's ROMS. Thus, I do not believe the problem lies with the ROM. Granted I was able to use the previous version of the Wimax Radio (EVO_WiMAX_25043_R04) and it did work.

Be sure to also update both your PRL and the PROFILE and REBOOT. This worked for me I hope it works for you.

the problem is flashing wimax. new wimax radio from ruu does nto flash properly with any method

*edit* didnt mean this to be "depressing" try whislacks starting over method to get onto the new radio, then flash a recovery console, then dc. this also seems to work for most people..

Quote:
When the WiMAX radio image is flashed using flash_image (or something equivalent to it), then certain important pieces of WiMAX data get overwritten due to a design flaw in Sprint's firmware where these data are inadequately protected from modification. The official over-the-air update (OTA) does not destroy these data because it uses undocumented functionality that transfers them to the new firmware before reflashing. Some of these data can be recreated, but at this time, we do not have the capability to recreate all of these data. When these data are not present on the phone, the radio appears to crash when it connects to the WiMAX network.

I have wimax working perfectly on 3.2.3 with latest wimax, so you shouldn't go stating uninformed opinions, especially when you admitted you didn't read most of the thread.

Everything you need is on the first page of the DC thread in post 2. If only thread had something like "Check post #2 for updates" or something like that in the title this could all be avoid....oh wait....

Edit: And reverting back to old wimax files is a suboptimal solution, when there is a working solution for newest wimax.

Default 4G issues resolved

I also had many problems with 4g. Tried every method....Ran simpleroot from start to finish, loaded dc 3.2.2.1 and went though the steps in the dc post (10 step process) and it finally worked...easy way to (re)move the .tree.xml file is to load android mate and goto file explorer, hit the back button and goto /data/misc/wimax and delete the file. update the profile and prl and reboot...it should work as it did for me....good luck to all
