Today while at work I look down and my phone is in Digital Roam for no reason at all. I tried PRL update I just get a force kill on OMADM has stopped unexpectedly.
I tried removing the battery, re flashing to a different radio, tried wiping the phone and reinstalling fresh 2.1.2 still digital roam. tried connecting to wifi no luck.
took it up to the sprint store the guy is familiar with the fresh rom and told me he's seen a flood of issues today with 1.5 and 2.1 regardless of rom. but they reflash the phones with the sprint update and they are fine...
anyone else having this issue? any fixes? help?... i dont want to get the sprint update and I refuse to believe that they implanted something to block people with bootleg roms... right...?
I know the PRL should be 60665 but it shows 27392

Have you tried running Update Profile as well? That has fixed it for me. Also, I know this seems to pertain to ROMs and such, but post this in the Q&A forum.
Hope you get it figured out.

try adb pushing the attached OMADM.apk to your /system/app directory.
OMADM.apk FC's have been reported by others, and i experienced them myself. This APK fixed the issue for me, I was able to update Profile+PRL and everything was hunky dory =D
EDIT: also, it sounds like your on a GSM PRL. this issue has been covered by many. here is a quote from damageless on the issue.
damageless said:
you need to go and set your phone to not use the gsm band. On the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and change the set preferred network type to CDMA auto(PRL) - you must do this regardless if it shows it already.

when you go into phone info, it will show that its set to CDMA auto(prl), but its just a graphical bug, if you try and change it, it will force close, and when the app recovers you will see it set to GMS auto(PRL). Just set it back to CDMA auto(prl).
Good luck =D
The sprint RUU actually wont fix the issue, I work at a service center and saw 4 phones with the same issue today. All had the sprint official 2.1 update.
To fix the issue you need the PRL flashed over the wire, unfortunatley the only way I know how to do this is with the software we use at my store. Ask your local service center to just flash the prl.
I nadroid to a previous version still was in digital roaming tried a prl finally it worked 60665
Usually just hitting Update PRL over and over fixes it.
I did but it kept FC and would just sit on the screen.
I regret that my first post here was asking for help rather than being a contribution but I'm stuck. I've been using my Hero since January, flashed a custom firmware day 2 (FreshROM) and it was fine back then, ever since though my connection, throughout the county, has been on a downhill slope...
Sprint customer service hasn't helped at all, got a single email reply and haven't been contacted since. I can't tell if it's an issue with Sprint or my phone though I'm starting to think it's the former, everyone I know with Sprint seems to be having problems lately...My particular problem is bad signal, I use to be pulling ~90dbm at all times, now I'm lucky to see a minimum of 98. Running speedtest (ookla) I can barely pull twice dialup speeds, though on occasion it runs ~120 kb/s (about normal out here, though pathetically below advertised speeds) and sometimes it just randomly drops into/sticks as 1x (even outside of the BestBuy I bought my phone from where I had full bars and definitely EvDo)
Currently running DarchDroid 2.7, PRL 60667 (I've tried all since 60663+), I don't know if it could be a PRI issue, I can't see PRI while using DarchDroid though I believe I'm running Flipz' custom PRI he put out after the leaked eris issues with 2.1 roms...
Suggestions? Further information I can provide?
Same problem here. Stuck in 1x, wireless also not connecting properly, voice signal minimal even sitting right next to my femtocell. Darch 2.7 only rom so far that keeps me on Sprint's network at all, others send me into roaming. I've tried Damagecontrol 2.0.9 (boot loops, kills SD), DamageR (roaming signal, frequent FC) Fresh 2.3.3 (roaming signal) and Aloysius 2.1.2 (roaming signal only)
Wireless not connecting with any of them. Any tips/fixes would be greatly appreciated

Forgot to mention, yes have also tried various basebands. Running the ancient stock seems to provide a minor boost.
I kept playing with this one, eventually broke the data connection altogether. Stuck in roaming unless using darchdroid. Took it to sprint store, they said once struck in roaming, no fix. They're replacing phone tomorrow

Thy the VZW PRL. It's here and in the EVO forum somewhere. I like it for my work and at the campground but here at home Im stuck with crappy signal because it wont work with the sprint airave. Im trying to talk my neighbor into buying a VZW one and putting it in my house. They don't have internet and use my WIFI so I think its a win win. For now I swap back to sprint on the weekends we are at home.
If you're using a custom rom, try rebooting into Recovery and wiping the Dalvik cache.
I had the same 'stuck in 1x' issue after trying to update my profile/PRL today, nothing I did seemed to make any difference, and when I did connect to EVDO my voice signal would drop out to, literally, 0.
Wiping the dalvik cache seems to have fixed it entirely - am now on the 60668 PRL (must've just come out today) and my signal is right where it should be, both EVDO and voice.

I've done entire wipes both factory resets as well as Davlik cache
I've tried both the verizon PRLs as well as the verizon baseband from flipz
I also managed to break my data connection at one point, eventually fixed it by driving out to where I had signal after doing the PRI reset thingy posted after the leaked Eris PRI issues. Tried the new *68 PRL as well when I finally had signal again, didn't seem to help at all, currently have no signal at my home at all anymore regardless of what I'm running, flashed back to an old FreshROM still on 1.5 so I can manually change PRLs, nothing seems to be working at all...
I'm likely to just run the new RUU to unroot and take the phone in demanding a fix, service seems to have just taken a hit out here period, weak connection at my gf's apartment, and she's now having issues even sending texts, seems like a network issue more than a phone issue at this point (she's using a Rumor Touch, not a Hero) also stuck on 1x (but amazingly not roaming) out here, but better than the no signal at my home :/
Help! I found this treadz by searching i bought the new iphone 4 and i have no signal when i hold the phonez.
I was hoping for a fix from apple and steve jobs said i was holding it wrong.
Thx any helpz would be awesomez
I'm using a Bluegrass Hero, and when I first got my phone, it picked up rev.A evdo just fine. Back on the old 1.5 rooting method, when I first rooted it, it lost rev.A and went to rev.0. Even on the official 2.1 update, it still had rev.0. I need to fix this. Please help!

I think I remember seeing a thread somewhere where this changed on its own depending on signal.... could be wrong.
No, it doesn't. Full signal or not, always rev.0.
And yes, I've done a power cycle, turned airplane on and off, reflashed the rom, etc.
not sure if your carrier does this, but on mine if I dial *228 I get an automated activation thing that will unlock the spl and re-program the radio. I usually do that when I have data or calling issues after changing roms and it usually works.
Ok so yes i am going to pay $20 to whoever knows how i can fix this problem i am having, i've flashed my droid to the network tbaytel, Everything works except for incoming texts which i need to work. The only way i can get them to work is if i use the zeusdroid rom and for thsoe of you who don't know what it is, its the htc desire rom thats been ported to the nexus one then ported to the droid. So its because of that that it's slow, buggy and i can't get data. i've tried alot of solution including changing basebands ( including to the brazalian one), i've tried different settings and im nto sure if it would be apn but my networkdoesn't have an apn for android yet. so yes if you know what it could be or have any ideas please tell! thank you
I am working on getting a hero working on Verizon. I currently have created a custom rom using FroShedYo.V6 and update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed. This is running but I am not getting a data connection. The mobile network state is disconnected and I am always roaming. I was able to do a *228 and both options said they worked.
I replaced the wifi driver with the one from the hero and I have wifi working now. Does anyone know if there is a 3g driver or the like for the hero that I need to replace? Or is this a MMS programming issue?
So close yet so far away.
You gotta change the apn settings and and eri.xml is your rom sense based or what?
The roms I am working with are CM6 based without sense. I think. I am new to android hacking. The eris one is the FroShedYo.V6 and there is no /data directory in either one. I am going to try a different rom with the /data directory already in it.
try hexscrews rom I believe it has apn settings in it for all carriers
I'm wondering if this is a PRI issue. I see there used to be a leaked rom that had an Eris PRI from verizon that was installed. Is there anyway to get this somehow installed on my hero on purpose now?
I now have the hero on the verizon network with talk and text. I used a base eris rom and used the drivers for wifi, screen rotation, bluetooth from a hero rom with the same kernel. The one thing that I do not have working is the 3G data connection. I have looked at several things trying to get this to work but have had no success.
I am getting data connection errors in the radio that I can see in logcat. The phone also appears to always be roaming.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get these things fixed?
Well if the phone is always roaming and its set for Verizon that means its picking up sprint, I think the biggest issue your going to run into is that It needs to be provisioned before data will work and you can't do that in cm6 I would try a sense Rom first then try cm6

Guys, I have a GUIDE that is about switching from Sprint-> PagePlus (pageplus would be the better option here) just search for my threads by me. I have everything working using it with CM6. In the guide even have the ERI/APN settings for PagePlus
I have flashed the southpaw odex 2.1 rom and copied over the apn and did the qpst programming. Still stuck on roaming and no data. My phone information currently:
baseband:2.32.40.11.09
PRI:2.20_003
PRL:51893
I have tried the PRL's in the sprinttopageplus guide and still roaming and no data.
I can still make calls and text.
I tried pst programming earlier to try to match settings in another verizon android based phone. I may have messed up the pst programming and got stupid and did not back up. Anyone have a qcn file for the hero working on verizon/pageplus?
bowb, make sure that setting applied match those that I outlined, also in the package thre should be two prl files, one will be used adn it will get data and it will force it to 1x, after teh 1x (it reset the a-key) then use the other prl so that it enables EVDO, if used in reverse order=no data
If there is only 1 prl, then:
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus.prl
then
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus1.prl
The first prl gets me on the Verizon network without roaming and no data. The second prl I have no data and roaming. I'm getting closer. Thanks for the help.

it will always say roaming unless you use a CyanogenMOD/AOSP ROM, I always get that unless Im on those. I know it's a PITA. ensure that in your mobile network settings that data is enabled while roaming for a 2.1 rom.
TpyoKnig what PRI version are you using? Over on the Eris section when the 2.2 Leaked rom was installed it looks like a Verizon PRI was installed and there were issues with data. I think I might have the opposite. I think I may have a Sprint PRI and it is not working on Verizon. When I logcat the radio it does not compare to a phone working on Verizon and it even has 'Sprint' in the output. Or I may be completely wrong.
So I have change my PRI and it still does not work. I noticed I am getting a
Failed setting numeric '31172' to the current operator
This is a sprint operator code? I have tried changing this in build.props to 31004 which is verizon for the gsm.operator.numeric etc... but it keeps coming back.
Does this lead me down the rabbit hole?

sorry heres my info from bootloader:
Radio: 2.32.40.11.09
as far as the PRI if you arent referring to the radio, then I have the stock one that came with 2.1
I'm going to do a hard reset. Flash the Sprint 2.1 RUU to get my PRI back and try this radio. I see that it is a verizon radio so maybe that will get me some results. If this doesn't do it I probably have messed up my system programming.

Ok, in the guide that I made, it has the appropriate settings that need to be applied in EPST (##3282#) for data with PagePlus (verizon)
The phone I am trying to move from is a samsung reality. Is it possible it has a different way of making the data connection?
try a droid eris rom. It's pretty much the same thing as the hero but for verizon. Me if I was doing this I would ruu back to the 2.27.651.51.5 and set everything up in ##data. Use the verizon prl and then flash the radio. Then go from there.
