4G Troubles? Get Insight Here (Don't be deceived by fake "fixes")

---

Why did I name this thread as such?
Too many users are reporting 4G fixes that wont work for everyone!

If you've got a working MAC their fixes may work, if not don't even bother.
The whole point of this thread is to tell you what is going on and save you from mindless flashing of so-called "fixes".


I'm going to start off by assuming you have adb and root access.
adb is from the Android SDK, and there are many guides on how to use it.

Go into "adb shell" and type "su", your phone's screen will ask for root permission, just accept.

Now type "wimax_mtd", this will bring up alot of info, scroll up to the top.

You will see alot of info, so here's a breakdown...

If you see "Dev MAC = 00:16:08:00:XX:XX", there is no fix yet. The unrevoked team is working on it.
It does not matter what roms you flash or what order, you will not be able to fix this until there is a solution from unrevoked!

If you see:

• Firmware Version (4.6.2.2v25641): You have the 1.47.651.1 wimax
• Firmware Version (4.6.2.2v25043): You have the 1.32.651.6 wimax
• Firmware Version (4.6.2.2_v24722): You may have toasts old wimax or another older release

If anyone else can help me grab a list of versions, that would be great.

Here's info on getting DamageControl 3.2.2.1 working, it has been verified by some helping me out.

I do get Dev MAC = 00:16:08:00 but did not use the unrevoked method or update. I take it that they are just the ones working on a fix for this? Thanks for the thread, I think it is helpful.

My 4G has not been working ever since trying unrevoked's OTA update. Here's what mine says:

Firmware Version: 4.6.2.2v25641
Dev MAC: 00:16:08:00:24:05

You should not both have the same MAC...what roms did you two flash?
It sounds like the issue may be in more than one rom if so.

Check the back of your phones, it it doesn't match let me know.

I believe the issue is with the wimax_25641R01.img file that is being flashed from the full radio update you posted. I made a small change to the update script to writ that image from the sdcard instead of from the cache directory. Doing so seems to have caused the same MAC issue that the unrevoked guys ran into.

disregard.

I've had others report that the MAC has remained unchanged.
I, myself, have the latest radio & wimax working.

Not sure if i can help but this is what i got when i did "wimax_mtd", i had first fresh-evo-0.3 i then installed Evo_1.47.651.1_De-odex"d_Rooted "did not reboot, then installed New_radio, "rebooted" then installed new_wimax. I am not in a 4G area so not sure if it works but i thought i would try and help.

Are you supposed to do this command while 4G is turned on?

Also, I have the old firmware 4.6.2.2_v24722 but no dev mac or anything like it.

Also, when you type in that command while 4G is off, a lot of info scrolls on my command prompt and scrolls so much I can't even scroll back up to the top. I have to take a screen shot before it goes nuts. It also says I have bad blocks. Is that normal?

I did the "wimax_mtd" with wimax on and it gave me the information above also i was in disk drive mode when i did it if that matters.
