Flash a different Rom. Gingerbeast is a good'n but be sure to make a nandroid first.
when making a nandroid, do i have to save it to my pc, or do i leave it on the phone, i would like to stay with this rom for a while if i could get the connection back to where its supposed to be, is the a radio that would fix this? anyone's help would be greatly appreciated

Nandroids are saved to your SD card.
The radio is not backed-up when doing a nandroid...meaning, it's not touched at all... Not backed-up, not restored either... The same radio will persist from ROM-to-rom, nandroid restore of a previous ROM, etc.
Trying different radios may or may not improve your situation. It's a very user-specific thing. Personal testing/experimentation is the only way to find out.
If you do decide to play around with radios, start with the inspire only radio thread in the dev section. Use that method outlined in post #1, and those flashable radio files, also in that first post.
any one already have this problem? i need help
i would like do go back to the OTA radio that i had before i rooted my phone, does any one know a safe way to do that, ive heard so much on this im over whelmed, some say my APN settings are to blame, some say its the radio, some say i just have to flash a different ROM, i want the stock rom with the ATT crap removed, but i also need my internet back to where it was, what do you guys think?, one time i had problems with my internet before i rooted, i called ATT and they had me read of some info from the about phone section of the settings and then they fixed it over the air, do you think i could get away with this?

So you're saying that before you rooted, you had actually received the new OTA update that "enabled the pseudo-4G," correct?
That radio and RIL is available from the "inspire only radio thread" by tribalartgod in the dev section.
here
It's the one that ends in "06.30_M" and is noted as the recent OTA. There's two choices, one with rcdata and one without. Rcdata is a file that was included with the ota, that is not critical for the radio to flash properly, but if you want a "pure" OTA radio experience, you should flash this one.
There are settings in that extra rcdata file that are related to that radio, though not much is known about what they actually do, ATT included it, so its probably a good idea to use that one, just in case. I did, and if you had done the OTA prior to rooting, you did to. So use the radio file with rcdata.
Just folllow the instructions in that thread, and you'll have that radio, as you did prior to rooting.
i did that dindent help
so i correctly applied both the radio and ril, and restarted twice and waited 30 min and my speed went fron 200kb to 600kb down and still at 90kb for up, what now, and what of these was i supposed to choose:
AT&T OTA Update - Released 04-29-2011

i used the ones in bold?
Hmm, I personally did not have this issue, but I also used a different method, but to fix this I would definitely attempt to do a full wipe and install a new rom. I highly recommend using the rom Android Revolution HD, but that's your choice. Hope this works!
im not haveing any luck
so i flashed a new rom and i love the rom everything is great except the moblie connection, same problem as with the last rom, i cant even load google or the market, it says im connected, i ran speedtest.net app, very poor results. 500down/90up, someone please help

I have been searching forever and can't find my issue. I have rooted with the installer kit, flashed LeeDroid, Everything went fine. After reboot my inspire doesn't have Mobil Network. Sorry if this has been answered but maybe I'm not searching the right ?. Been at this for a few hours now and what to be done with this so I can set this thing up. I think it might have to do with radio but iffy to proceed till someone can conform thats it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your apn settings?
Yes just from another post here. Tried with no help. Maybe need a better post.
Try pulling the battery for five min. Then replace it and turn back on. If that doesn't work check the thread for your rom. Make sure that your using the recommended radio with your rom. If it is and your still having the same prob I'd say reinstall the radio and rom see if that helps. I haven't had this problem before and don't use that rom. But just bouncing some ideas around to see if I cant help you figure it out.
First things I would do, check the sim make sure it is in the phone properly. pull the battery. I did notice that you are not running the recommended radio for the rom, you should flash the radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 as that rom has the ril for it, if that dosen't work, reflash the rom.

Thanks for jumping in. I didnt think about the sim card.
I tried installing BAMF 3.0 RC2 on my phone, and I can't seem to get it working properly. Upon startup it force closes a bunch of things and the radio shows no signal at all. I have ran the MD5 on the download to ensure integrity. Also did a complete wipe prior to flashing. Could this be a radio problem? I haven't done any radio upgrades.

when you say everything is the same, do you mean it still has the previous radio version number?
I'd suggest that you both:
1) Wipe data/dalvik/cache and flash back to a froyo ROM where you do have a signal
2) Upgrade from froyo to the MR2/2.5 radio
3) Re-wipe data/dalvik/cache (or even do it twice for good luck ) and re-flash BAMF 3.0
If its worth doing, its worth overdoing, especially when you're messing with radios and the like. Best of luck!
That's the same problem I first had with gingeritis before flashing the correct radio.. if you are still experiencing the problems after the radio flash i would suggest confirming the radio did install by checking the version number..
if it is all correct do as MattBeyers said and wipe and reflash
Thanks, that seemed to work. I still got a couple of force closes but much less than before. Also I can see my radio now! If I wanted to restore my old my Backup (Stock Froyo - MR1), do I restore my backup then flash MR1? If so, does anyone have a link the MR1 image? TIA!
I'm always one to upgrade/downgrade radios before I flash a ROM, so I would say to downgrade to MR1 and then flash the Froyo backup. Also, try going into ROM manager and using the Fix Permissions tool to see if that helps with some of the force closes.

Any reason for flashing one before the other? Reading through several of the ROM threads, it seems like everyone has a preference, but no one explains why.
I tried mr2 and mr2.5 but could only get 3g. Went back to CM7.

I just feel like the radio, being the thing that, well, controls every useful function on the phone, should be installed and present when a new ROM is flashed. I may be wrong, but it would seem logical to me that a new ROM would talk to the radio in order to make sure everything is kosher. But what if that's something that a ROM will only do once, at the first boot, and not once a new radio is flashed? Then, all of a sudden, you have the right radio, but its configured improperly by your ROM, since the ROM has already gone through its initial boot set up with the old radio. Therefore, my theory is radio > ROM (Please note, theory. )

This makes sense from a logical reason. Perhaps a ROM developer on this site can confirm this.
Hi all,
A week ago I bought a brand new Desire S and installed latest CM 7.1 stable following the guide on cyanogemod Desire S Wiki using revolutionary 0.4pre4. Everything was smooth and nice, I flashed ROM and GAPPS and my phone is working absolutely perfectly... but there is one little problem...
I am using Desire to fetch my mails from 2 mailservers using IMAP every 30 mins. But when the phone is switching between network modes i.e. HSDPA -> EDGE or EDGE -> GSM or any other way, I am disconnected from operator network for about 10 seconds until the network mode changes and everything is fine after that, until there is another network mode switch.
This happens for me about 10 times a day, so my phone sometimes appears that It is turned off for people who want to call me. Immediately after connecting to network I get a missed call SMS from my operator.
Interesting thing is, that when I disable email fetching, disable background data transfer and disable network data, the phone works fine without "blackouts".
Can someone help me with this problem? Maybe a radio issue?
Some more info:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Desire S
Recovery: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
HBOOT: 6.98.1002
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
There is a newer radio-file online.
Maybe it's solving your problem.
I'm using MIUI and never had such problems, but i'm interested in flashing CM, so please report if the problem is gone by flashing newer radio!
Which radio version are you using?
Today I am testing 2G only switch so I am on EDGE data only.
Flashing radios is safe......, but a bad radio flash will instantly brick your phone.
You are using 1.47.401.4 radio, try updating to the 2.10.401.5 one.
Thanks for reply.
Shoud I flash something else with the radio?
I have 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 downloaded from cmw.22aaf3.com
Another I have is ftom OTA update zip file OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210fmxlt12djw1sr7y5.zip where is one radio.img in formware.zip file too - version unknown
So Which one to flash?
and if so, which method should I use to flash radio? The Android SDK one or the ZIP + Bootloader one?

Strangely I had the same issues as you on Endymion.
Then I updated radio to the latest.
It worked well.
Then I went to CM7. It was fine for a while, but now I'm losing signal with no 3G bars and its not switching automatically to 2G like it should when It has no 3G signal!
EDIT:
After really reading your post, I realise my issue is no way like yours! Yours seems really bad. Update your radio.

So, here we go with the results
I flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal...
I flashed 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
I flashed 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 back, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
... what now ... ?
After each flash wiped cache and Dalvik...
in your telephone-info there is shown the new radio after every flash?
do you have removed the batterycover, because there is integrated the antenna of your device!

i already had the problem for several times, and i also pulled out the battery (you shouldn't do that)!
only had to boot into bootloader, start recovery, wipe all partitions, flash rom and was having fun again with my device
this thread could help you, if really stuck on HTC logo
For your real problem on loosing the signal, did you ever tried out using actual stock rom, or another custom one like MIUI?
i used MIUI from 2010-08 till yesterday, now trying out CM7.1 for some days
I have the same or a very similar problem. I have the stock rom.
I already had 3 different desire s motherboard's and 2 different display's.
The first Desire S i had, with android 2.3.3, had a excellent signal. Due some problems i had, the phone bricked and had to go to HTC to repair.
HTC replaced the motherboard and update the version of the android to 2.3.5 and ever since the signal caption, the signal switch was working very bad.
The phone went to a second repair because of this, new phone, and again with android 2.3.5. The problems persisted.
I also tested with different SIM cards, from different mobile operators.
So, my conclusion is either android 2.3.5 or this new versions of Desire S have problems with signal caption and signal switch.
So as you, i need some help with this issue!

I am still testing new radio, but looks good Give me some days let you know...
Hi All,
I have a similar problem with the latest CM7.1 nightly builds (Reaper, jorgen2009). I never saw this with older CM7.1 versions, e.g. Nexx version, ICS, MIUI oder Endymion.
I have WLAN on and leave my house. Phone switches to 2G/3G..., so far so good. When I return home, The WLan sign in the status bar appears again, everything seems to be fine, but I have no connection. I get no data via WLan until I swicth WLan off and on again.
Radio is the latest from 2.10.401.5.
Best Regards
Wrapp
Had similar problems, upgrading to the latest radio helped. I got stuck on the HTC screen and I went through flashing RUU's and unlocking bootloaders back and forth... when the only thing that needs to be done is to wipe the cache.
Learned a lot about bootloaders though. But my warranty got void because i did the htcdev unlock... (Sorry for OT)
Basically, the GPS on my Sensation wont find any satellites. I tried OpenSensation and ARHD and the GPS doesn't work on either. I read on Google that someone flashed the appropriate RUU for them and reflashed their custom ROM and the GPS started working again. I was going to do the same but was wondering if I flash the T-Mo ICS RUU, will it lock the bootloader? If so, how would I unlock it again? Also, if anyone has any tips to fix the GPS, any help is appreciated.

RUUs are ideally last choices.
Also, I'm assuming you are HTC Dev unlocked (you need to confirm this), if yes, then did you enable smart flash in 4ext recovery before flashing or flash the boot.img manually?
Try performing a full wipe/format before installing the ROM.
If you are S Off, then try installing 3.32 base firmware
If all of the above fail, use my guide to find & flash the correct RUU: www.tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
I am unlocked through revolutionary, I don't know if that is HTC-Dev, but I doubt it. I don't know about smart flash either, what is it? I full wiped and installed 5 different OpenSensation builds and the T-Mo ARHD version with no GPS on either. I also flashed the 3.32 firmware from the official ICS T-Mo firmware. Radio's too, went from 11.69 to 11.72. I want to flash the RUU to reset all the radios, firmware and such. But I am worried the bootloader will get locked down again.
My plan is to flash the RUU, test the GPS, then restore my clockwork backup of my current ROM and go from there. Would it be easier to just flash a Gingerbread RUU?

Here's what happens after flashing the RUU:
You will lose all data (except data on SD Card)
Your bootloader will be locked, but if you're S Off, you will remain S Off (You can get back to Revolutionary bootloader by flashing 3.32 base firmware from firmware thread.)
You will lose custom recovery if custom recovery is installed (this can be re flashed if you are S Off )
You will lose root if you are rooted. (this can be re done)
I recommend you flash the normal 3.32 base firmware from the firmware thread before flashing RUU.
i used to have the same issue as yours...
i tried this fix ..it works for sensation too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12764930&postcount=1
i used method 2 to do that ..method 1 failed for me
but be careful when using dd commands..you need to be extremely careful while typing that
also the fix..messes up your splash screen ..but you can easily flash the splash screen again
I tried the wiping thing, but it didn't work, I'm going to flash the RUU. If it doesn't work, it's borked, I guess.
Nothing, I flashed a Gingerbread RUU and the ICS RUU with no change. I am going to take it to T-Mobile in a few days. Any final, shot in the dark, tips?

Yes. Open up the back cover & check if all antennae are making contact. If not, apply aluminium foil. Take a strip, fold it till it's the right size, but ensure it isn't very thick, just a little more than enough to make contact & not tear.
First of all, Hello.
I don't want to make another GPS topic, so i write it down here. The thing is that i bought a used HTC Sensation XE and everything is working great except the GPS. I have read all the sensation threads about fixing the problems with GPS and i think i tried most of them without any luck.
I installed the free GPS apps from Market (GPS Status, GPS Test and the fix named FasterFix). It just won't find any satellites and that's it.
It wont lock on nothing and it wont find nothing.
* At the beginning when i started FasterFix it showed that the conf. is set to America. I live in Europe. So that really made sense, that if i change it to Europe, then it should work because the conf. is just wrong.
I have tried all kinds of fixes (FasterFix, modifying the gps.conf file), tried the Sensation topic named AGPS patch and flashed the gps fix .zip.
Tried all kinds of gps.conf files and putting the right server names in there Europe, Estonia. Tried the wipe and format and reinstalling Locations.
I didnt want to root the phone and use custom ROM, but nothing seemes to help fixing the GPS problem, so in last option i rooted phone, did the S-OFF and all the stuff so its unlocked and tried custom ROM.s. I was fingers crossed and hoped that the ROM change will magically fix my whatever errors with GPS but nothing. I tried :
* [ROM][Sense 4.1][20.01] Team Venom presents: ViperS 1.6.3
* [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][4.1.2][09 JAN]
Yesterday after i did full wipe and tried the vision wipe fix (Method 1) + Reinstalling Locations. I went outside and started up the GPS, i used AGPS fix configuration file. So i started GPS Status and waited for ~30sec. it magically found 5 sats and after waiting couple minutes or so, it finally locked up and managed to get the right position. I was so happy and thought that i finally fixed it after tried everything in 2 days. So later on that day i went driving with my car and wanted to test the GPS in real. I fired the sucker up and NOTHING. No sats, nothing. And here i am, again searching for help.
I really like this phone and i need to get that god damn GPS working. Please any help is welcome. What else can i try?
Can it really be the GPS unit itself what is defective? Well it found sats and locked up on them yesterday, so i think something has to work but there is some error somewhere.
------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
OOh my god! I managed to FIX my problem! What a relief and of course im telling you how.
My problem was that antenna contacts didn't give a good connection between the housing. I played with the housing and watched the GPS Test software, so if the connection was OK, it automatically detected sats and if i moved the housing again, they disappeared.
I tried the aluminium foil trick and it helped but i didnt much like the idea of some loose foil inside of my phones housing. So i checked up the antenna contacts and tried to figure out what the heck was the problem, because if there was a cap between the housing and phone itself, there was a signal and as soon as i locked the housing to the phone - Baah! nothing, the signal was gone. I opened the housing and took a scalpel. Next i really carefully bended the antenna contacts, so if first they were shaped like "/\" then after the bend they looked like " L ", with that trick applied they now get a good contact with the housing and the GPS is working as it should.
I hope it will help someone, who might have the same problem. The phone is Sensation XE with beats audio.
The easy was is to first try the foil trick, if it helps then you know it's the contacts.
The GPS antenna contacts are located between the camera lens and the battery. At least these contacts worked for me, after the bend.
I just got a 1S for my wife, and as soon as we activated the SIM card it downloaded an update, and once I installed it she keeps getting "no signal". WiFi works just fine, but she can't make calls, send SMS or use data over 3G/4G.
Browsing the TMo forums and some threads here, this seems to be a common issue, but I can't find a definitive fix. What's my best option?
I haven't rooted or done anything to the phone (yet), but I've done it with all my phones, so I'm very comfortable if I need to flash a new radio or anything like that.

You can't flash a new radio. It's locked down no s-off. Only way to update radio is a ota or a ruu or use a aosp Rom. Aosp strores radio on system partition. Want my advice send the phone back.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but you can flash radios through recovery with an unlocked bootloader, no need for s-off. It works with 1.09 and 1.06 hboots. I'm not sure if any other hboots do. you would need a custom recovery, specifically twrp I believe. Available radios are in the development thread.
hboot 1.09 is the newest version on which flashing radios works. Anything newer than that is a no-go.
Luckily theres CM, which allows flashing radios regardless of hboot versions, since CM uses radios differently.
