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.
Hello, I upgraded my nexus s to 2.3.3 and the new radio xkb1, I also tried xkb3 but I get no service still. I even changed apn settings etc.. nothing works!
I tried modaco rom (2.3.3) and stock rom 2.3.3.
WHen I put it in airplane mode, my simcard network comes up (GiffGaff UK) but cannot do anything as it says phone is in airplane mode.
What shall I do? I think it is the radio but I done know how to downgrade the radio to 2.3.1 radio?
did it work before you Flashed the radio for unknown reason?
i'll suggest a complete wipe of the phone and restore back to a stock ROM or stock nandroid backup and see if it works
the thing is that I cant find an 2.3.1 radio?
Happened to me just flashed the radio back, you can get the radio.img:

I recently flashed ARHD 3.6.9 for HTC Sensation 4G. I also flashed the recommended radio version, "10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2," noted in the dev's thread. The odd thing that I am seeing is that when I checked the baseband version that I just installed, it lists it as 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2. Note the only difference is the P. Is this a problem? I don't know of a way to verify the version of the radio's image.
Not sure where I read it as it was a while ago, but no it doesn't matter, its the same. On a side note though when I first got my sensation I flashed the radio that was recommended and saw no change, flashed back to original and no change, now I don't bother flashing the radios as, at least for me I see no real benefit.

yea some wont see a change, but also check if the RIL matches your radio when flashing, sometimes that can be the issue when not seeing any change, i had to flash a new radio, and i realized when i flashed new radio for rom, the ril didt match so me flashing new radio was kinda pointless when i should have match the ril,
My RIL version is HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ. How do I check if this matches with my new radio? Thanks
I have been noticing that some dev gives out the radio image while others give a PG58IMG.zip for the radio. I understand how to flash the radio with the radio image, but for the PG58IMG.zip, do I just put it into the root of my SDcard and reboot into HBoot like how I would S-off my phone? Thanks
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?

Both will work, i'm using method by using bootloader normaly
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.
-------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire S
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!

No, the cover is at its place where it should be. Somehow I did the trick and I am back online with 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 on 2G only for now.
I read somwhere in the forum that ENG HBOOT is required for new radios... Are you sure I dont need to flash eng hboot it before new radio ??

in your area 3g is actually available?
may it helps to go outside, to find your net for the first time!
did you set an accesspoint for 3g?
may you have to set automatic settings, rather than 3g/2g-only?!

main problem is when i am driving and the phone is switching network modes.

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!

But when I reboot to recovery it will flash the radio again I think.
i hate stock roms, and dont like MIUI design That is why I am using Cyanogen
Anyway if I use 2G only switch, the phone is stable as rock both calls and data transfer.
EDIT: OK, flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 sucessfully, signal OK, I will see what happens whet metwork mode switches
@Green Hawk:
give us more information about your device please, which radio you're using? Did they flash actual radion also?
@MyroLM:
report if the problem is still there or it's gone with flashing the rom
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)
I've tried just about everything to flash a new version of the radio firmware on my 9020a. I've used the Radio Flashing Guide and tried every version available for the 9020a. Each time, the flash reports that it was successful, but no matter which one I choose, baseband still shows I'm running i9020aucke1 when I boot it back up.
I've also flashed the stock ICS OTA update 4.04 for the 9020a, thinking "well, THAT has to do it." but still I'm stuck on cke1.
Are there permissions that may be wrong? Is there anything else I can do? I want to flash a new radio because e1 is terrible for me. It won't switch between "3g" to "H" and just spins it's wheels and I get no data. Sometimes I get ZERO signal. If I reboot or switch Airplane Mode on & off, data comes back and works for a while, but then reverts back to working like crap.
Thanks a lot.
Update
I was trying to flash via Clockworkmod. I used ADB FASTBOOT and the radio is now on J1.
So, if Clockworkmod isn't working, use ADB FASTBOOT.
