Default Rsa help

Looking for a way to get an rsa key other then taking it off another phone. Mine has gotten wiped somehow and my backup copy has gone mia. If someone could help me out with a solution that would be great. Sprint has a deductable that I'm trying to avoid.

There's no way to get your RSA keys back if you don't have a backup. You can't just take it from another phone, they're specific to your device.

If you have a nandroid backup from before you lost them, you may be in luck. If you're using Amon Ra, you should have chosen to backup wimax at some point. I believe CWM backs up wimax with each backup. You can open up your nandroid backup and see if you have a wimax.img file present. You can then restore that backup or manually flash the wimax.img.

Are you 100% positive that you lost them? It's kinda hard to do unless you specifically chose to format your wimax partition.

If you don't have a backup (I'm going to emphasize again the importance of making a backup) and your RSA keys are gone, you're pretty much SOL. You broke it, you should have to buy it.

I made a backup a while ago with cwm but I think its gone, I read something about using hex editor and getting a clone file but I was looking for an easier way out. So far I've tried to go back to an original Rom and flash a few things but so far no good. I'm hoping this hex editor guide works.

Sorry but you're out of luck. Your 4G keys are tied to your phones serial number. The keys are nontransferable. New phone time for you.

You are way up the creek and no paddle my friend. The keys are tied to your serial number [like plainjane already said] so you're just out of luck. Check your pc / cwm folder. if its in the folder you can put in in another folder then flash it.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core
