Root Just rooted. Cannot get 3G service

Could be area specific, mine is strange, on my Eris it would kick right on all the time, and with the DInc sometimes it's real fast, and other times it takes about 30 seconds or so. I'm getting a brand new one on Wed. in replace of this one, so I will play with it a bit so I have something non-rooted to go by since I rooted this one within minutes of turning it on lol.

also try *228 option 2// if you haven't allready.

Running HTC Incredible. I just used unrevoked to root. Had no issues. But now, i can make calls, but no data. Shows no 3G service. Any help??

Not for nothing, but check the EVRC settings.

I think that when I rooted the last time that it was preset to EVRC-B, which in remote areas might cause connectivity issues.
  1. Go to Phone and Dial ##778
  2. Choose Edit Mode
  3. Password is 000000
  4. Go to CDMA Settings
  5. Scroll all the way to bottom
  6. Change Home Page, Home Orig, and Roam Orig from EVRC-B to EVRC
  7. Hit Menu and Commit Changes
If you go into these settings and they are already EVRC, don't change them. EVRC-B is an enhanced voice quality setting but it is only in more metropolitan areas and some have reported not being able to make phone calls or have data connectivity with this enabled

Call Customer Service. One of my Eris' had a problem with 3g were it started to not hold a connection and would cut in and out, and also took forever to connect to 3g in the first place, they replaced it.

I am getting a brand new DInc tomorrow in place of the one I received on the 7/27 for diff. reasons. and I had it rooted and when rooted it was strange with how long it took to connect to 3g. Once I UN-rooted I started playing around a bit with it, and not it connects instantaneous.

Listen, its possible you had a hardware problem with your phone and you "brought it out" when rooted it... bite the bullet and trade it in... your issue is unique... good luck my friend.


Actually something very similar has happened to me. My data was working fine before I rooted and went to Froyo (with the OTA radio leak).

Now my data only comes up after 1 out of 5 reboots.

I have tried many different things (except for unrooting and rerooting) but I just wanted to chime in that others out there may be having similar issues.

I had a similar problem with mine, and yesterday realized that Always On Data was unchecked. It would never click back to 3G or 1X. I rechecked it, rebooted and all is good since. Just a thought
