Ok...so I just came from the Vibrant...so I'm new to this. Please be nice. lol. Anyways...I've tried two roms now on the HTC Sensation 4g first the Revolution HD Rom then the Coredroid rom. Both roms aren't identifying my phone as the 4g model rather the original Sensation. I cannot find where to correct this. Please help.

Can you shed a bit more info on what you mean. I suspect you see your phone in phone identity as either a z710e or z710a, is that correct?
Whenever I try to flash both roms during the flash via CWR the installer says "sensation detected no sensation 4g files installed." Then when it boots up I go to check the phones ID and sure enough it's z710e.

ok, What version of CWR are you using. It should be the blue 4.0.1.4.
Are you also doing a full wipe before flashing?
Will try and work with you on this.
From my understanding the Z710e is the 4G model.
Using the CWR 4014 blue version. And yes doing complete and full wipe each time...I just reinstalled Coredroid and now the phone ID is showing sensation 4g but the build.prop file isn't showing the 4g files. I'm so lost. :/
That's because both of those Roms use European WWE Roms as a base, if you want your phone is to be identified as the sensation 4g on those Roms you have to edit your build prop, or flash a tmobile base custom ROM.....

If I use the coredroid rom will my phone still detect 4g and use the 4g network here in Kansas City?

Yes, all the roms here will work with Tmobile 4g speeds.
But remember some roms will have a H instead of 4g symbol in the status bar but you are still getting 4g speeds, but most roms have an addon zip to change it to a 4g icon.
So basically the phone is still 4g capable and uses 4g just doesn't show it under the build.prop files? Now another question is this, the files that are suppose to be for the 4g model from that rom...how do I get those installed? The installer isn't id my phone as 4g so it's not installing the 4g files.

yeah i know that is one thread about radios but my many of the radios that are in the desire HD section are not in the inspire 4G sections and that is what i am asking... if those radios that are not in the radio inspire 4g section could be used with my inspire?
Short answer: maybe.
The whole point of the Inspire radio thread was to confirm which of the many possible radios available for the inspire/DHD can be confirmed to work specifically with the Inspire.
Any word on whether or not the new radio 12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M for the DHD works on the inspire yet? The radio thread hasnt been updated yet.
EDIT: Nevermind, the thread has been updated now and the radio works flawlessly.
I have yet to see a problem with any DHD radio on my Inspire4g. It's android man. As long as you are flashing it the safe way with a zip file through HBOOT and not engie s-off through fastboot there really isn't much that can go wrong. Try it, see if it works for you, if it doesn't then flash something else.

This is not correct, things can still go wrong even when flashing the safe way. That is why none of the developers or modders will claim responsibility if the end user breaks something.
I believe I said "there isn't much that can go wrong" not "IT'S TOTALLY SAFE!"
I would consider a bricked phone more than "a little going wrong". It is a possibility, and it shouldn't be downplayed or taken lightly.
How can I determine the version of radio that is currently installed? I tried the HBOOT method with the Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2.zip file and I am not sure it worked, because my Inspire 4G seems to just be an Inspire now... I don't get 4G connects any more.

If you installed a custom ROM that is not based on the inspire you will not see the H+ anymore. Does not mean you are not getting the same connection.
To see your radio version just go to settings > about phone > software information and it is listed in the Baseband version.
Hey, im running 3.1 of Android Revolution HD on my new 4g Sensation and I don't seem to have 4g access ever since I've rooted my phone. Beforehand on stock there was a little plus next to my mobile data symbol but now its gone.
The speed test app also showed lackluster results, my download speed was like 534kb while upload was around 700 kb.
I am assuming there is an easy solution to this, maybe turn it on in settings or something. (I just checked the 4g coverage for my area and apparently I have 21 mbps download speeds.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!
(I am with Bell Aliant in Canada by the way)
May depend on the radio you have installed. Just something every user has to play with. H is also the same thing as 4G with t-mobile. You also cant go according to what they say you can get either. It's all in the hspa+/4G dispute.
Ohhhhh, yes it must be the radio then. Why does the Developer of Revolution HD recomend using the radio listed with his rom? Apparently I lost 4 g access by installing it.
So, by uninstalling it and reinstalling my old radio I should regain 4g access right?
Also, what downfalls are there to using a stock radio?
Thanks!

Not necessarily, the radio that Mike recommends with his ROM is the same radio that is coming with the OTA update from T-Mobile.
I would check to see what your RIL is, I bet it is 162 and you may want to change it to 169 and see if that helps first.
Wouldn't using non-matching ril file cause problems? Can you post the command to check what ril you have for reference please?

Mike's ROM by default has RIL 169 but when it runs the script to see if your phone is t-Mobile 4G or not it changes the RIL to 162 if it is a t-mobile 4G and leaves it at 169 if it is not a t-mobile 4G.
To check to see what RIL you have run getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" in Terminal Emulator or adb shell and it will print out the RIL version!
Nice. I have 162 but have a tmous 4G sensation. I have the radio in his op so is it ok to run that radio with the 169 ril?

Yes it is, the default RIL in his ROM is 169 and when it senses you have a T-Mobile 4G is switches it to RIL 162. I ran 162 for a while then switched to 169 and am trying it out today.
Cool. Thanks. Will try as well

I would actually love to have an 4G icon And also, it would be rreally good if it had a ics theme on it as well ;P
So what I'm basically asking, is this possible?
PS: Running Viruous 3.0.0 rom on my htc sensation. And yes I do know that it won't increase my speed. Also I know that H is 4g so please refrain from making comments about how its not necessary.
Thank you very much.
Does anyone actually like the E and H?
You never see a thread about "How can I get E and H back on my data icon?" or "Can I make the H bigger!?"
Check the thread in which custom Rom you're using... They should have it there as an add-on.. just flash it...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats
I checked the virtuous rom website and the thread....Found nothing. I tried using ninjamorph to change it but I couldn't find the H symbol which is what i was trying to change
I don't see it either... There might be in the theme section of the forum... But not sure if there is for non sense roms...

I would also like to see a 4G icon made for AOSP ICS. Is there any way we can do it by editing the systemui.apk file? I tried doing it myself but the status bar disappeared when i saved the file.
Running Hyper Nonsense v0.4
Can't get any simpler than this guys....(for VI 3.0 anyways)
When you flash it in recovery, you will be prompted for all the listed "mods" or "patches". Pick and choose what you want.
REMEMBER TO NANDROID BEFORE ANY FLASHING.
Use the Sense 3.6 version.

This usually only happens when you flash a GB radio in ICS, or an ICS radio in GB. Try to flash a stock ICS radio. On the Sensation, radios seem to make little difference.
where can i find a stock ics radio
Thanks dude got it figured out! Thanks for the suggestion! Worked once I found the five ics radios

He might not have been affected by the outage though. Some people lost EDGE and HSPA+, others lost just HSPA+ and the rest didn't lose anything.
Sorry if this seems noobish but I've read all the other threads I could find & I still haven't found a fix for my phone. I'm using a T-mobile HTC sensation 4G on a GSM network outside of america. the phone is fully unlocked & compatible with the 4G bands here but I'm still only able to browse on 2G networks. The APN settings in my phone are correct & work with other phones I've tried to connect to 4G. When I received the phone it was rooted with ICS 4.03 on it. I recently updated it to CM 10.2 AOSP 4.3 Jellybean in hopes that a fix for the problem would be included in the ROM but with no luck. Does anyone know how I could resolve this problem?
