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.

You need a gingerbread radio for a gingerbread rom.. so MR2 or MR2.5

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.

Anyone having this issue?

I have received that error before but it was kernel related. You might want to flash a different kernel and see if that fixes your issue.
Did you wipe data/cache ?
I would do a Titanium Backup and then wipe data/cache, first.
Then before you restore your Titanium Backup, check and see if your WiFi is working. If so, it's not the ROM or kernel, but rather something else.

Most kernels include some kind of modified wifi driver (and other) files that goes in the /system/library folders.
Reverting or flashing a different kernel that doesn't replace them will cause issues.
I don't use BAMF and haven't flashed the new leaked radio or firmware yet, but this is a common problem for kernel flashers.
Flash or reflash a BAMF compatible kernel and see if that fixes it.
No probs here!
Sent by my ThumperBolt
Thanks very much for the suggestions, guys.
I flashed an older kernel and the WiFi is good as of now.
I was looking forward to using the new BAMF 4.4.2 kernel, but I guess it will take some more tinkering on my part.
P.S. On first install I did wipe, flash and repeat.
I have S off for boot
Does that mean I have s off for the radio
If not what is the procedure to get s off for the radio and flash a new radio
I want to flash the revolution rom, but see it is recommended that flash a new radio first
Thanks much for any guidance
I'm curious about this too.

Yeah, I'm wondering about this too...dunno if even upgrading helps much, see the android rev rom thread..
i just reflashed the radio via directions in the zip folder. worked fine and also installed revolution HD afterwards. Ended up reverting to a backup though as it was too buggy for me at this point.

Yeah it worked fine, except did you check the fastboot menu to see if it actually changed the radio? Mine didn't.
ahh no i didnt. i spent like 5 minutes messing with it and then restored a backup.

Hi sensation forum...
I am new to sensation, but not new to android or HTC, as i have 4 different phones with custom firmware on them...
But the sensation give me a lot of problems for some reason...
I have tried ARHD 5.0.2 and Insert Coin 4.0.4, i have also tried Virtuous Inquisition v1.3.0 and HyperSensation CM7.1 v1.2.
The last one is not even ICS based...
All of them give me random reboot cycles...
I have tried 3 different radios also...
Nothing have helped me so far...
I still have a lot of random reboots...
(about every 2-10 min)
When i flash the firmware i use ARHD´s super delete script, but to be shure, i also format everything from within Recovery...
What more can i do here ??
Pleace,if your phone is stable, can you tell me exactly what rom/radio/kernal/ril you use...
My phone was rock stable with factory firmware....
Hey,
When installing roms on the sensation, make sure you follow the guides in the particular thread. It is also important to match recommended radios and rils that go with the specific rom. Make sure you are S-off and cid 11111111. When you are switching roms, you should only have to run the superwipe script, it will set all the partitions for you so that you can flash the rom you choose. Also, before you install ICS, it is recommended that you superwipe BEFORE installing the actual rom to prevent unwanted isssues. Before you do anything else, give me a rundown on what you are currently running.

I have exactly this issue.
I installed ICS Revolution. I had successfully got S-OFF, Installed ClockWork Recovery (updated to latest version), permanently Rooted & obtained SuperCID. I updated radio as recommnded by mike1986 in the ICS post, and wiped the phone with Revolution Super_wipe_Sensation first.
It seemed to run fine apart from Doplhin HD which refused to run properly (so switched to Opera Mobile). However I started to get random reboots.
After a bit I thought to try Insert Coin ICS instead.
I have noticed no real difference in performance and have the identical issue with Dophin HD (back to Opera mobile again).
However I also still have the identical random rebooting issue with this ROM. What else can I do?

I did that with Revolution as well as with Insert Coin this time around. Running the latest version
I'm having the same issue. Did a text book install of AHRD. Everything went super smoothly, but getting these reboots. I have tried to swipe everything, have the latest radio and recommended fw and keep getting these crashes. Not only it's driving me nuts but it makes the phone unuseable... I can't believe we're just 2 to have these problems... Isn't there some king of log we can pull to see what's causing the crash ?
---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
I suspect it has to do with processor speed that's been tweaked in these roms, but can't seem to find a way to tune it back to stock on the ICS rom...
sorry for the late reply, been busy with holiday stuff.. anyhow, make sure you are NOT installing any mods that are not compatible with the current ICS build. I have had no problems switching between ARHD 3.6.10 and ICS 5.0.2. As long as you have s-off and CID 1111111, you should be good to go. When I changed up from 3.6.10 to ICS 5.0.2, I turned off my phone, went into bootloader, selected the option for recovery, then flashed the superwipe script. After it finished flashing that, it rebooted back into recovery. Following that, I went to install from zip, flashed the updated RUU, cleared cache and dalvik, then flashed ICS 5.0.1 and the 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 update. Everything installed smooth from there.

That's exactly what I did. Can't find anything different between your story and what's I did, up to when I switched to Insert Coin
I also don't think it's related to CPU speed. My phone is the XE model which ran at 1.5 Ghz on stock ROM and only did about 3 random reboots in 3 months; (now it's every couple of hours).

Good luck. Hope it helps. Let us know the outcome. My nandroid backup is corrupted so will need to do full wipe of my SD card and phone I think. Then add in a stock ROM

I'm still getting the reboot on the nand backup (OrangeFR), this sucks big time. Now I'm thinking it may be due to the fw I had to install to use AHRD (PG58IMG) and the new radio. This is where I'm lost. How can I return everything to standard ? If I understand well the ROM doesn't contain those files, they are separate ?
Was thinking that my random reboots were radio or firmware related.
Strange thing is mine have stopped, and all I did was reinstall revolution ICS 5.0.1 then upgrade to 5.0.2. Didn't even wipe first. So even my apps & settings all of which I had installed & configured since I had installed Insert Coin ICS, are all still there. Haven't had a reboot since.

I switched back to ARHD 3.6.9, did a factory reset+wipe, flashed radio 10.59 and all is fine, I'm somehow reluctant to try again...
I found a solution that worked for me... At last...
I am REALLY sorry that i didn´t answer here before, but i have been really bussy, and actually forgot all about it a few days....
NOW, i also thought that i had some CPU spped issue with the roms, becource i can actually get the same kind of reboot problems on my DHD when i run it over 1500 Mhz...
So i thought that i would lock my sensation to max 900 mhz, and then see what happens... NO change... Still random reboot... Strange...
I then installed a Android 2.3 rom, just to get my phone running again... STILL random reboots...
hmmm....
Now i was confused...
At last i tried to flash a different radio one more time...
I found a radio in some other sensation thread... Flashed it and now my phone works stable...
At least with Virtuos Inquisition 1.3.0... (Proberbly the 1.4.0 will also work, but i have not tried it yet...)
The Radio i had the problems with is the one from mike´s thread...
I actually don´t know why, as i have allways had great success with his roms and his releases on my DHD...
The Radio i use now is 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035-02_2...
But sorry, i can´t remember from what thread...
Ok, this is what i have discovered on this reboot issue...
I hope it make some sense, and that this perhaps can help other with the same problems...
Try turning your phone to recovery.Backup if you havent already....Wipe Data/Factory reset then turn the phone off....
Remove the back cover and the SDCARD.Turn the phone back on and see if it runs ok without the SDCARD, if it does reformat the sd using 4ext recovery and it will also align it.
I spoke too soon.
My phone didn't reboot for a day after I switched back to Revolution ICS 5.0.2 for about a day, then today it began doing random reboots every few minutes. I had not changed any software, just the area (which might have changed signal and frequency the cell tower uses). So I figured it was time to change firmware and radio.
I had previously (prior to installing custom ICS ROM) flashed the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 as recommended by Mike1986 in the Revolution HD ICS thread, and had HBoot 1.7.1111 on my device.
I then downloaded the firmware he posted on his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
This has put the phone back to HBOOT 1.20.0000 and radio 11.15.3504.16_M
Now it's working well and no reboots yet.
Here's hoping.. time will tell.
No matter what radio or Rom combo I get random ass reboots
Super annoying. I did notice the battery goes from 100% to 10% during this reboot
I have calibrated battey. Wiped stats. I'm lost.
I have even tried a new battery. Wtf. Any ideas?
i cant even flash stock ruu I get a 171 error!!!!
Im gonna throw this phone at the f-ing wall in a min
if you flashed newest radio 11...x.x..., you have to have newest hboot also (1.20.. , i guess). otherwise, you will get random reboot. I had this issue before, and i just flashed order radio( i don't want to update hboot version). problem is solved

Hello every one,
So my question is does any one know what the suggested radio for a Sensation on CM9 would be? I just rooted my Sensation about a month ago and have tried a few different roms, most recently Android revolution HD and now CM9 rc1. So far I love CM9 and plan to stick with it for a while but I feel like I'm not getting the best data reception. It seems like I drop from H(4g) down to 3g and back up again quite often in areas where I had fairly reliable service before. I've done some google searches and searched the forums here as well as CM's forums and can't seem to find a recommended radio file.I'm no longer on a stock radio since Android Revolution suggested a different one. Suggestions? Thanks for the help.
The reason you won't see a recommended radio file is because what works say for me might not work in the areas you live in. So radio is something you will have to experiment with to find your correct radio with matching ril file.something that works well in YOUR area. This is why people can not recommend a great combination for you. You will have to find what works best in your Area. When you flash the radio don't forget the matching ril file that goes with it ok. So do some experiments and see what works best for YOU. You flash the radio like any other pg58img file from bootloader then delete the file Afterward or it can prevent you from going to recovery. The ril is flashed like a Rom. Hope this helps you and answered your questions. So you alone must find what combo works best in your area. Best wishes to you.

Ok, so using what you said, I stumbled into THIS post and started rereading(I had actually looked at this before but didn't "get it"). I see that some of these are posted for certain countries. Is there a way to tell which ones are for tmobile 4g in the USA? Is anything NOT listed for another country assumed to be from the USA? Is there another list of radios/rils I should be starting with? Does country of origin actually matter at all?
If you scroll down you will see a link to ICS mirror on that same page. It has several generic ics radios , those are generic so I believe they will work with ics. I'm T-Mobile and I used the newest radio on that page and it works great! I would NOT use a radio labelled for a different country. For me I kept on the safe side and used the ics radios. The link is just before the gingerbread radios start. The name of the contributor is written in blue. That link will take you to ICS radio/ril mirrors. They work great for ics. Find the combo that works best for you and your area.
Best wishes.

You have to find a radio and matching RIL file that is working for your area. Did you use the generic ics radio file WITH matching RIL file? Each radio has a matching RIL file that goes with it?
You install both. Then see which combo works best for your area. In my case I used the newest radio/ril combo for ics. It is working well in my area .

Just as an FYI - After you flash new firmware, you need to go into recovery and wipe Cache, or wipe both cache and delvik cache. Otherwise, you will never get past the cm9 boot logo.

Doh! Did not know that, and I didnt wipe it until I tried flashing a new Rom. Wonder if that would have fixed it right off.
Alrighty, I have a One S S4, rooted, running ViperOneS 1.2.1.
Not the first time I've run a custom on here, I've been bouncing back and forth between Viper and Cyanogen, usually without issue. Normally, I've been using CWM recovery...
My problem is that I can't get a new radio to install. I've reinstalled Viper a few times, full wipe and all, reinstalled CWM, and finally, just tried using TWRP. CWM says that it updated, but nothing changes, TWRP just gets stuck saying that it is updating, but never does (have to force a shutdown)
So...anybody else run into this problem? I can't find an answer anywhere, and I have no idea what to do next, because I want to keep Viper on here, but right now, my mobile is alright, but I get no WiFi (and the solution that I'm being told is to install a new radio (would that even fix a WiFi issue))

It's probably the hboot you have on your phone not letting you flash the radio ? As for Wi-Fi you probably need to just flash the Wi-Fi partitions. You need to find out what hboot you're on as well as if you don't know how to check which radio you're on you should look into that. About phone software baseband and more something like that.

As far as radio, it's 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e etc
As far as hboot version....nothing has changed since the time I could reprogram my radio
I'm pretty versed with the phone, I'm asking here, because you will know more than I do...but I know my some of my phone, and I definitely know how to program...but I don't experiment as much as I want to, and I want to know how to fix my phone..
sorry, little drunk at this time, don't want to sound like an ass...
If I think that I'm missing a basic step, I'll ask =)
The hboot, as far add I've know hasn't changed, but I don't know what does. Old versions of recovery, no luck. Had programming issues, get stuck in booloops etc, make it work right...n dint know why the radio won't program out of nowhere =(
