I went ahead and rooted my HTC evo 4g using the captain throwback method and unrevoked, then flashed mikg 3.11 and all is well. Here is my dilemma I did another evo and now it is very slow and the icon in notification bar says 1x never 3g. I went through the settings menus and under network it reads CDMA-1x rtt and my phone reads CDMA EVDO REV A could this be a problem and if so how do I fix it .. I used the exact same method to do that phone as I did with one and I am not experiencing any of these issues.

When flashing a different rom other than stock, it will show the TRUE signal.
Stock rom will show 3g even when it is 1x...it should change to 3g when signal is stronger....
I read that somewhere and when I find it again, I will link that to you but I believe it is of no concern...:)
 
Try updating prl and profile on the device that isn't receiving 3g signal.

And mike is correct, sprint/htc lie about The true signal in the stock Rom to make their network look better.
 
Yeah that's what I figured, I was told that before bout the signal strength but when I saw the difference I stated before I thought that may be the issue.

Flashing ROMS won't touch the pho.es radio's, so nothing should have changed there.

If problems persist you can try updating radios but you NEVER want to pull the battery or have it fall out during a radio update. You WILL brick the device by doing so.
