Root No 4g... Please help!

So I did something really dumb. I flashed a zip in cwm called superwipe before a flashed a Rom. Superwipe was a file I got when I had my thunderbolt. It wipes everything off the phone including system. This is the only thing I did out side the norm. Now I have no 4g service. When I dial ##3282# WiMAX is not in the list. I tried flashing a backup I made when I first rooted my phone and no luck there. Every Rom I've tried won't restore this setting. I have no idea what else to do. Can some one help with this issue? Thankx in advance for any info and suggestions.
 
Look at what mount points the updater script formatted on the norm only partitions 26 & 27 (data and system) should be your concern if you touched the wimax partition or your keys you are pretty much screwed....

You should always check what a script is doing before running it...

Just noticed not for this device.

Ok so I unzipped n copied this from da updater-script file

ui_print("Formatting System");
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");
ui_print("Wiping cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
ui_print("Formatting data");
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26");

I have no idea what I'm looking at here

But if it didn't mess with my keys how will I go about restoring my WiMAX?

boost mobile evo design 4g

Oh yeah you did format your wimax partition if you are on the EVO Design 4G or Hero S

25 is the wimax partition that script is for another device.

Here is our partition table

Probably will have to use dd to write to if the partition is unlocked that is.

so if i have the file in .IMG format i would transfer that file or extract the files and what transfer them 1 by 1 or will the command read the whole folder i extract the files to and transfer them over? also just to see if i have the comand correct

dd if=/sdcard/(folder of files or just the wimax.img) of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25
