any possible way to revert back to old radio??

There is a million variables. Remember if your having issues wiping caches and such will fix most problems.

In terminal type this

su
fix_permissions

Reboot the phone and let it sit for a bit after rebooting.

Thank you sir. I did this and getting constant speed tests of 500+kbps Down and 300+kbps Up with 2 bars. Pretty amazing for my area. I've done Speedtest.net about 10 times. Going to try during high traffic time tomorrow.

is this possible to revert?

Glad to see you've got your issue solved.

The simple answer to you question is no.

As far as anyone here knows, the radio firmware is write-only and cannot be extracted from the phone. The boot loader writes the radio firmware on startup when it sees a special command from the updater. And since the phones come with the original radio firmware (ZV4/ZV5) pre-installed, nobody has a copy of them.

Well...I thought it was fixed. Turns out it came back. It's not as bad as it was but I seem to have figured out that it only really starts to happen after the phone has been on for an extended period of time. After 12+ hour uptimes it starts to have trouble reconnecting to 3G after like I get off the phone, sometimes it doesn't switch back. But whenever the phone has freshly been rebooted it always switches back instantly.

Now I'm seriously starting to consider doing an ESN swap on a evo 4g. If I did this, I would want the option to be able to still sell the phone if I wanted. If i do the swap, is it reversible? I know I couldn't sell my OV if I was using it's ESN. But if I don't like how it works out I'd like to be able to set it back to the original settings to be able to sell.

ESN swaps are considered a bad thing to discuss on forums so my answer is a bit generic.

You can revert the Evo settings if you have the info to put back, however, expect a LOT of reading, troubleshooting, headaches and labor to swap over a phone. Also, by the time you are done with it, the Evo will be nearly worthless so I wouldn't worry about it. If you even want to consider this, you should probably read a lot about all of it, including pros and cons and then see if you can even get the info you need from the OV. If you can't manage that part, you may as well give up before you buy the Evo.


My advice to anyone even considering it at this point is simply don't.
If you have any sort of a job, at this point you are better off waiting for the the 3D or One V and not having to deal with the troubles this brings with the whole thing and future troubles you may encounter (such as laws changing, terms of service crackdowns, etc...).
