Rogers Magic (32A) dropping 3G/HSDPA data connection

I've had my HTC Magic from Rogers (32A) for about 3 weeks now. I live in the US but no matter WHAT ROM I use the connection keeps disconnecting.
So the way it happens is that I start the phone, all is fine. I can browse then a few minutes later I cannot ping nor browse it seems as the data connection just dies. It still shows H at the top of the screen with the outgoing arrow stuck as if data is being sent out. Sometimes though it would be either incoming nor out coming.
I've tried the HoFo ROM, Stock Rogers Rom, Hero Roms, and all of them have the same issue. I've tried playing with the APN settings but they all seem correct. I'm also running Haykuro's SPL with the latest radio version. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you flash the radio? If you did I believe thats your issue.

I thought I did but im still running 3.22.20.17. What happens if I downgrade to the 2.22.19.26I? I know that 2.22.19.26I is for 32B and I have 32A, but does it matter if I flash that radio or will I brick my phone?

Flashing radio wont brick the phone, worst case you wont be able to make calls or do anything radio related.

Well I cant flash the radio with the older version because it doesnt support the 3G US bands. I thought I might re-flash the 3.22.20.17 since its been doing it with the stock ROM also.
Can someone please link me to a copy of that radio file because I have been going nuts looking for it? Thanks!

NOTE TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS AND IS THE SAME SITUATION:
Do not try to flash your Rogers Magic with an older radio or you will have a brick as I now do.

[Q] KF1 radio with telus ?

Well, here goes.
I've been reading alot for quite a while, and learning everything I could around this place. Thanks to tall who contribute.
I'm running NScollab, 1.0.42, with matrix 8.0 kernel.
Currently on the XXKB3 baseband.
Following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I tried flashing the new KF1 radio for the nexus S. No luck. Either is doesn't flash at all ( status 6 error ) or when it does ( the signed version can be flashed in CWM ) no signal whatsoever. I've tried everything, changing the band, ( *#*#4636#*#* ) rebooting 45 times, dalvik wipe, changing type of radio, all guides, searched google, this website ( for a whole week ).
Nothing came up.
I'm posting, because this is pretty much last resort. I actually tried the KF1 radio on Miui, devnull, oxygen, and NScollab.
Telus users out there, what is your baseband ? What radio gives you the best signal and performance ? I know koodo switched to KF1, but I can't get it to work on my NS.
Any help is appreciated !

still noone ?
Darn.

I use KB3 for koodo(telus). I get signal... and it works.
I'm curious as to whether KF1 would be a better radio for us, or if it even works for Telus/Koodo. Anybody know?

I have a Telus Nexus S in BC and I just installed an OTA update to 2.3.6 / GRK39F / I9020AUCKF1 and the KF1 radio seems to be working fine. I've been able to call around and MMS without issues so far. (about 2 hrs) Not enough time spent with it to tell you if it gets better reception or not...
I acutally installed the OTA pacakage in order to go back to stock as I was getting sick of the Search Bug that has been plaguing my phone for ages and I was going to bring it back for warranty work, but it appears the flash of the radio to KF1 that was included in the package has resolved the Search Bug!
Sweet! So, I might stick with this for a bit to confirm it is gone and and if all is well, I guess there's no need to return the phone for service!

I have the same issue on koodo. Flashed ICS and I get reception with KF1 downtown but barely anything at home and it used to be great.

I'm running the UCKF1 radio on my telus NS, on cm9 + matrix 14.5. With my phone, it was impossible to flash the radio with CWM, it would flash, but could not get on the network. I had to use fastboot to flash the radio.
In my experience, XXKB3 and XXKD1 were definitely the fastest radios (no upload cap), but my connection was unstable, needing occasional reboots to reestablish connection if I ever lost reception. UCKF1 has been rock solid for me. (I'm in the Toronto area)
Also, for some reason I only started getting the search bug with ICS and XXKD1, but UCKF1 fixed that.

[Q] Flashed radio and no 3g or 4g

So I decided to start playing with different radio, dish, and ril settings yesterday. I was running 3.32.501 (t-mobile ics firmware), ARHD 6.6.5, 11.69A radio (Dish2), all my data speeds were working fine.
I decided to flash the 11.72 radio. Once i did i got no 3g or 4G data speeds only 2G. Someone recommended that i check my mobile data settings and switch to WCDMA which i did, but this had no effect at all.
So my question is this...for the 11.72 radio do i need to have the 3.32.401 firmware? Does anyone know what happened?
I did flash back to the 11.69A radio and everything is fine again.

Some radios will require different firmwares and the RILs must be from the same Android version. As in, GB ril won't work in ICS.

yeah ive been posting in there, but i figured i would start a new post, bc i didnt want to clutter that thread with all my questions

SO just to update, i decided it might be my tmobile 3.32.531 firmware causing the issue, so i flashed the 3.32.401, 11.72 radio and ril 0017 (mismatch) and all data speeds were back.
So unless im missing something the tmobile 3.32.501 firmware may not be compatible with other radios (except the tmobile one, 11.69A), or there is a setting (in build.prop?) not set correctly.
Also I have used the tmobile firmware with other rils without any immediate data impact.

Baseband version: Unknown

All of a sudden, after working fine for months, my radio (I believe it was UCKF1) quit. Tried rebooting, going into and out of Airplane Mode, still wouldn't connect. I hadn't flashed anything for several weeks, since I installed the Trinity Kernel.
Flashed UCKJ1, no luck. Flashed UCKF1 (version 2), no luck. Tried the "Lost 3G Connection" tweak in the Radio thread (which seems to be the same as the HSDPA Tweak.)
In About Phone, the Baseband Version shows as Unknown.
No APN shows up.
When I go into Network Operators, an error message comes up.
Any tips?
Phone: i9020a, running on Telus network
ROM: Bugless Beast, 2012-06-09, ICS 4.0.4
Build number: IMM76L
Kernel: Trinity 3.0.8-TNS-g3c5dd00

Try reverting to a Nandroid you have before you lost connection? Make sure your SIM isnt damaged, Flash the newest radio meant for ICS on the I9020A, if you flash this, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN I9020A http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=989490&stc=1&d=1333848754

Need Help. Have data but no phone signal after screwing up.

Ok, so here is the story of how I screwed up. And the situation
1) I was running firmware 3.33 with viper ... everything was ok
2) Decided to try bruce's CM10... everything ok
3) Copule of days later I decided to flash the old RIL I was using with CM9 + firmware 3.33 and used to work ok.... big fail. Radio stoped working
4 )full wipe, flashed firmware 3.32 and Bruce's latest build... the phone booted ok, but still radio wasn't working
5) full wipe, flashed firmware 3.33 and Bruce's latest build... the phone booted ok, but still radio wasn't working
6) full wipe, flashed viper .... I intermittently get data but no phone signal... WTF?
Before someone asks... yes.. I was always veryfing checksums when flashing different firmwares.
Any Advice?
Is it possible that I broke something? Maybe the SIM card?
what do you think guys? Please Help!

have the same problem, was running ARHD with no problems, then using bruce CM10.
I didnt like it, so i changed back to ARHD.
Now i flashed Viper-Rom, and my Radio is broken

Try flashing a generic ics radio and ril this should help restore your data. I lost data once by flashing a recommended radio for a Rom I was running and I restored my data by flashing a generic ics radio and ril. Fixed this issue for me. You might want to give it a try .I think it will help. Best of luck.

Could i just flash 3.32 and then flash Viper?
what is "ril"?

*#*#4636#*#* on dialer then phone information and verify what network mode is it on (it should be GSM/WCDMA auto)

dont know what happend, i flahed ARHD, but did a superwipe before.
Now the Radio works. only have to get wifi better, is there a fix for that?
