Root Help finding info in CM7

[fmrock]

I am running CM7 on my evo and I have put in a complaint about the data speed around my office. The Tech Support has asked me to...

Pull up the Dial Pad
On the Dial Pad, please dial, ##33284#
On the Filed Trial Screen, Tap EVDO Engineering
From that screen I need the following information:

Channel Number:
Active Set Pilot PN:
Rx Signal Strength:
Rx Power:

This does not seem to work on CM7... but can I get to this some other way. I thought about loading my backup on my phone before I loaded CM7, but I do not really want to go back.

Pretty sure that'll only work with sense roms... I'd try ur backup, or Swagged out stock rom...

Just make a nand backup b4 u flash, that way u can just go back to ur cm7 like u never left...

Create a nandroid backup

Flash a sense based rom

Do the required steps you outlined

Simply nandroid restore when done

Do I need to clear any cache before doing the restore of the nandroid I took right after I rooted my phone? (only a few months ago)

no nandroid backups will wipe the caches as it loads the nandroid backup. it really is not necessary. but it will not hurt either. i never wipe when restoring nandroid backups and never had any issues.

really?? no kidding! I didnt know that, and have always wiped before restoring, just as tho I was flashing a new rom.... I have also NEVER had any issues after restoring....

If you have access to a recovery log then you will notice that the recovery will format before restoring so there really isn't a need to wipe before a restore unless you're using clockwork
