Liquid Smooth ROM - Calls not working - Thunderbolt General

I wanted to post this as a question under the liquid smooth topic but I don't think I can because I don't have 10 responses yet?
Anyways, I just flashed this new ROM and I love it - it's super fast and awesome. But none of my networks are responding - mobile/phone call/etc. I know that for some situations you need to download a radio right?
I tried flashing these two but it still doesn't work

LTE: 0.01.78.0906

Sorry I know I'm a bit noob - can someone explain how to get networks up and running?

Did you flash the radios in recovery or in the bootloader?

I flashed in bootloader - pretty much followed the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128
I think I'm gonna un-root and then re-root for the time being. Having no cell access makes me a little paranoid and I kinda want to reestablish that before I go on.

Make sure you don't have the same problems when you are un-rooted and completely stock, if so it's probably time for a replacement.

I've never heard of this but if you post in Liquids forum he will try and help ya...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0

Phew!! Stock unrooted works fine, the networks are in place. Too bad I had to miss some fun stuff this weekend b/c I didn't have cell access lol. So I think it was definitely a radio issue...I'll probably reroot now and try again?

Yeah, root and then after each "mod" you do to the phone, check to make sure everything is working correctly. That way if it happens again at least you know what it is that is screwing it all up.

[Radio] Baseband 2.41.04.02.03 | For Fresh Rom 2.0b

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.41.04.02.03) for Fresh Rom 2.0b
Thanks to toast for the moral support, and for being the first to test this on his phone. Haha.
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0b
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
This won't fix any current problems with the 2.x roms, but it will make your phone more effecient
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone
Don't flash this unless you have a CDMA Hero
I wouldn't flash this unless you are on Fresh 2.0b
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21

So just a quick question, if I flash this and for some reason I want to restore back to a previous rom will this affect me from doing so?
howcome the version in your screenshot is 2.41.05.02.03 ?
its a typo mine matches the screen shot
Might this finally make my phone show its connected to rev. a? You know know that bug..
I am waiting on the answer about rolling back to 1.5 roms
@linkinx64 its a radio update. I dont see why i would be compatible....just saying.

LOL ... i get your point . I am just a little bit skeptical
well i flashed it, i got insurance.
Let us know if it makes a difference, please.
All the radios that flipz has just posted will work and not leave u with a brick. But... sometimes shot happens.
Ok flashing :-s
So far so good..someone in flipz website said that he is seeing a great improvement in battery life
Because the flashing process for a radio is a little different, I'm wondering if I went back to Fresh 1.1 if this radio will work or if I'll have to flash a different radio? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wiping data/flashing roms does NOT change the radio, and it's like a separate firmware entirely...?
I'm leery about flashing if I have to go back to 1.5 and not having a correct radio or not being able to downgrade.

I was thinking the same. but radio should not have anything to do with the ROM, besides I am staying 2.1 until the official release
I flashed without any issues. Just make sure you have some battery life left.. probably wouldn't want your phone dying in the middle of this.
Looks good so far to me. As I said, my battery life was already noticeably improved just by updating from 1.5 to this ROM, would be great if this increases it's longevity even more!
Thanks for all the work Flipz/Toast!
Seems to be working just fine on 1.5 Rom. I will update if I experience anything bad.
Great job Flipz!

[Q] self resetting thunderbolt woes?

yes i flashed a rom quite a few days ago- did a wipe on everything -rom loaded everything runs find ... twisted sense 1.5 with kernel that comes with sorry for my spelling trying to figure out whats going on anyway back to the problem at hand
im having issues were i could be doing anything on my tb all of a sudden it resets to the htc loading screen im like ok just a minor thing but it is now getting on my nerves i feel like i might of done something wrong yet im very cautious on how i flash rom using rom manager and its up to date of course. so i was thinking should i change it back to stock to see if that might cure my reset woes ? or just unroot and take it back ? any suggestions are helpful
This seems to be a known issue and is related to the new radio. Did you flash that?
*** UPDATE ***
I reverted back to...

yes i did flash the radio
Try reverting your radio back to stock (there is a thread in the Dev section) and see if it helps. I have been having this issue too, but it isn't bothering me enough right now to change it. Also I'm not sure if you can use the new framework with the old radio -- you may have to use an older ROM.
thats what im going to try
I have the new radio and I have never experienced resetting with any of the roms, etc. I might just be one of the lucky ones!
- thanks for rubbing it in -lol
Thats good...
i might be considering taking my tb back to get another if this doesnt work

Damn that was harsh! lol really the first thing should have been to try a different kernel. It has become known with the tb they are not all created equal. Kernels or I should say switching them can make a big difference.

Well my problem with resetting still exisits i returned to stock now
i seem to still be having this problem...
so hopped over to verizon to speak with someone about this and they
told me this was a functionality of the phone that they could send
me a replacement out but would cost me shipping and handling and also
stated if they didnt find anything wrong with it that i would have to
pay full retail !!! i was like BS *&^&&%^%^ *^%^%$&^$% well you get
the point.
i still have the same tbolt just trying to figure out what to do now was thinking of returning for another tbolt but fear
that this so called " functionality " of the phone ... any suggestions?
my phone was fine until I decided to flash the new radio. I reverted back to stock radio and I'm still getting reboots
yes same here i told verizon about my tbolt self resets like once every hour if im on it they told me it was a part of the functionality of the tbolt
My old one did that.
My old TBolt did that, kind of like resetting the Sense interface (which takes forever). I called them and talked with a really nice guy, and he explained a hard reboot should fix it (which didn't and I lost my call, and got connected with a capital B the next time around _-_)
I also was having issues with the memory card getting "wiped" (data still there, just not viewable in phone) and (the kicker) my phone would reach temperatures of 69degC while charging, while off.
That last one had them change it out right quick.
No automatic resets at all here, and I've had it on and using it most of the time throughout the LTE outage and after. No resets when on EvDO/HRPD; no resets when on LTE/eHRPD; no resets when on EvDO/eHRPD. It only resets when I tell it to!
As for the connection, well... I do get the occasional dropout on LTE. More problems tonight than most nights with that. But EvDO seems to be pretty stable as always.
i didnt have any problems during the outage since im not in a 4g lte area

Just a FYI for you, I do not have problems with reboots nor do I have most problems most say they are having, however my tb just did not like twisted sense 1.5. For me anyway I couldn't stay on it very long.
I have an idea if you want to give it a try. it will take some time and effort but on the other hand it just might save you the trouble of having to return your tb.
First, do a full wipe of data/cache, do it twice to be sure. flash BAMF, (either one don't matter). once you boot up go to settings/SD & phone storage and do a factory reset. let it reset and come back up. it will take a while to boot and you might even get errors which is ok.
Now hit the power button and reboot into recovery again wipe data/cache 3x, wipe cache 3x.
now try to install your rom. just for the heck of it at least for now stay away from twisted sense. I would use BAMF at least till you see if this solves your problem.
once you have your rom installed flash imoseyon's (SAFE) kernel.
If you do try this let me know how you make out. This has solved many issues for me in the past many times.
actually I stand corrected it was NOT twisted sense that gave me a problem it was tesla coil that I had problems with. so your choice there.

ICS-based ROMs just turn off

Hi guys, please tell me what the heck I am doing wrong with ICS ROMs because I just feel powerless.
Tried some time ago OnceICS ROM (on 3.12 firmware), then switched to Virtuous Inquisition, then Virtuous Quattro (3.24 firmware) and now I'm on newest OnceICS on 3.24 unlocked firmware.
Every ROM change was dictated by the fact that my ROM kept turning off very randomly - on data transfer (I guess), after sending/receiving SMS, before/after phonecall - no rule, once it worked, another time I had like 10 turn offs per hour. Can't even do a logcat because it mostly happens when I'm out of home, where the signal can or is lower than at home (where I have full and barely no turn offs).
Every ROM change I hope this one gonna work but the problem still remains.
Sitting on supercid, did wipes, superwipes, fix permissions, battery wipe, no OC kernels, changed recovery to 4ext touch..
I flashed OnceICS yesterday I thought it is finally fine. But today it started rebooting like every before. probably today I will flash just once a sense rom like insertcoin, but I have no hope.
What is wrong with my phone? :\
insert-coin is not a de-sensed ROM
Did you by any chance restore data from a backup after flashing the ROM because this can often cause this sort of bugs
Whoops I meant "sense rom like insertcoin" because I tried roms with sense stripped out.
I do not restore data, I do titanium backup, sometimes use it to restore some apps but none of system stuff (contacts are synced by google, sms are restored by Go SMS Pro, everything else I configure on every reinstall). Like right now, I have plain OnceICS with only few apps installed from market but I had turn offs before I installed them too so I don't think they are the problem here :\
Maybe you should install a factory ROM first, to look if it solves your problem..?

Agreed, try a Gingerbread ROM then you can figure out whether it's an ICS problem alone or possibly hardware related.
Yeah I will probably install gingerbread :/ But, damn, ICS is awesome, I like it very much, especially the way it behaves and looks. It's sad I need to go back to gingerbread
Don't give up, if Gingerbread runs well, just try again (maybe another) ICS ROM.

It's a bummer but if it's a hardware fault best to find it and get it sorted IMO.
It was fine before I switched to ICS. But ok, tomorrow morining, gingerbread strike back. What's the best 2.3 ROM right now? Because there is quite a mess in "android development" forums because of ICS.

MR. Edge, first let me say I feel your pain I myself went through exactly what you are going through. I thought I was going to have to get a new phone. But then I found this Post:
http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon2.gif
I know you said you did all these things but it wont hurt at this point to double check yourself and make sure everything is done correctly. I have had my sensation since June and have been rooted since july so I thought I knew everything there was to know about this phone. turns out I didnt lol and I still dont know what I missed but after I follwed this guide step by step I was able to load ARHD 6.1 without any issues. I have been auto off free for 3 days and counting.
and if that dosent work you can still go back to GB and ARHD has a nice rom for that as well. Good Luck

All the ICS based ROMs are a bit un-stable as they're based on un-released binaries from HTC. As you might tell from the ROMs I listed I'm more into AOSP based ones than Sense ones.
The battery life I have now is better than ever, TBH not certain if that's ICS, Radio or F/W.

For AOSP ROM , I suggest Virtuous Inquisition till CM official released for sensation...
Thanks for answers, I gave up for now, switched to 1.17 fw and cm7. I miss ICS
So far it works fine but not as smooth as ICS. But the most I miss rotation animation
Jesus, what is going on :\ I'm on CM7 right now and it can turn off as well :\ Tomorrow I will install stock rom... Before I started playing with ICS everything was fine, no turn offs :\
If I were in your shoes I would reflash the RUU for your device and rule out a hardware failure. Not to mention if anything is left over from all of your flashes it can lead to problems. Just start over, don't ask for help and then be stubborn about the suggested solutions.
OK I will do so
I was about to post a thread but google pointed me here. I have the EXACT same problem as you do Cliff. I highly doubt it is caused by hardware, and as Tez recommended I followed that guide verbatim. Still having problems. It's so frustrating because I LOVE ICS.
Right now I'm on stock ROM, dedicated to my phone (rubbish Orange PL branding etc.), rooted it just to restore some games.
and it still can turn off from time to time :\ I've had no such issue before trying ICS. Dunno what else I can do.
For me, it's starting to seem more and more like the battery stats are way off. But no matter how many times I wipe them and try to re-calibrate, it still gets way off within a day or two.
Cliff, did your percentages jump around each time you turned your phone back on?
I have these problems too !! I'm going to s off and send to HTC

[Q] Strange Battery Drain, Low Cell Signal, and Very Warm Device

I've had my S3 for about 3-4 months or so, and I've recently been having this problem.
The day I got it I rooted it and everything was going good, battery wasn't amazing, but definitely reasonable.
After the boot loader was unlocked, I unlocked it with the EZ unlock in the Play Store.
I then loaded up Synergy r50 (nightly at the time) and everything seemed improved.
Anyways, I have since then loaded Paranoid Android, CM10, Beans, and Incubus' Jellywiz.
I went to Beans after Synergy, everything was still fine, then I loaded up Jellywiz RLS7 for a day, and it ran extremely warm and I was dropping
a percentage of my battery every 2 minutes. I nandroided back to Beans, and had the overheat and battery drain problem on that too. I wiped everything and went to Synergy (newest nightly, forgot the number) (edit: added the ktoonsez kernel after many FC's) and the problem still exists. I'm also getting horrible cell signal (not 4g, 4g is fine) at my school where it used to be perfectly fine. Anyone know what I could possibly do besides returning it? I already used Odin to go back to the latest non-leaked stock, and it's still doing it. Thank you very much.
TL;DR: After flashing multiple roms, then flashing Jellywiz, my phone runs much too hot for comfort, borderline burning, battery life goes fast, and I get next to no signal at my school.
Thanks again for any help!

Did you try to odin back to Stock, get the new OTA and maybe odin the leaked radio on top? I'd give it a try and see how it works out for you 1-2 days. People are reporting better single with the leaked radio. You flashed a lot of stuff in a very short time and you missed the latest official radio from the G7 OTA.
If you still have issues return the phone to VZW. If not DebugFS, EZ Unlock (make sure to use version 1.2 from rootzwiki) and EZ recovery again. Make a clean Nandroid and go back to your favorite ROM.
All the downloads you need can be found in droidstyle's sticky in devel.

[Q] VZW M8 - Sunshine S-Off - CM12 / GPE / Custom ROMs

I need some assistance please! I am truly baffled by what I am experiencing and would like to know why and hopefully how to fix it. Here's the details:
CARRIER: Verizon
MODEL: HTC One M8
S-OFF: Yes (Sunshine)
ROOT: Yes
HBOOT: 3.19
RADIO: 1.09.20.0926
OpenDSP: 46.2.2
OS: 3.28.605.4
First off, sorry for the book, but I figured more details would be better at this point to figure out what is up, so I appreciate any assistance in advance! PS: I bolded the key items to the story for those that like to skim.
Prior to S-Off and Root, I was on OTA version 4.4.4 waiting in anticipation for 5.0 to come to my device. Was unsure about spending $25 for Sunshine's method, but finally decided to take the plunge. At first things seemed great and very smooth. Following all instructions from Sunshine I was finally with S-Off status. I then used WeakSauce2 to gain temp root of the Stock ROM so that I could install Flashify and TWRP. Rebooted and loaded up TWRP Recovery and completed the first Nandroid. SUCCESS! Next up was Titanium Backup and such and copied everything off to my computer for safe keeping. So far so good and then loaded up a few ROM files and whatnot to the External SD Card so I could start flashing a new ROM. Feeling good up to this point, but here's where the troubles begin...
I have had great success with CyanogenMod in the past on previous devices and always very pleased. I read CM12 for others was great and stable and performed well, so I decided to grab the latest CM12 Nightly and the GApps package. Did the normal Wipe / System Wipe for initial flash of a new ROM and then installed both ZIPs no problem. The ROM boots up and everything seems okay, only I do not have LTE at all, only 3G. I also tried the GPE rom by Digitalhigh and experienced the same thing! Restoring from Nandroid also did not fix LTE, so at this point I got worried I broke my phone somehow.
To make a long story short after lots of testing I found a fix for getting LTE back on my original ROM. I found the 4.4.4 RUU and placed the 1.7 GB zip file (0P6BIMG.zip) on the root of my external SD Card, booted into HBOOT and ran the update. It did it's thing and booted up into the Stock ROM. Still no LTE! So then I found a comment somewhere about once that is done, do a Factory Reset from HBOOT using the Stock Recovery and it is supposed to reset the NV Radio Partition, so I did this and when it booted back up, SUCCESS! I have LTE back.
Once that was done I can now flash GPE, (but unusable because SMS is not working for some reason... I am using Google Voice BTW), so I am back to my original 4.4.4 TWRP Recovered ROM. I tried just for kicks to see if after the "fix" if I could make CM12 work, but again will bring it down to an unworking LTE status. Rinse and repeat the "fix" and got LTE back and did Nandroid Recovery. I paid the money to get S-Off and Root access so I could enjoy the Custom ROM's, but now I feel I am stuck...
All that being said... Can someone please explain to me what is going on?? And is there any way I can fix this so I can use CM12 and have LTE, and even then some other ROMs? I will post in Digitalhigh's forum for resolution to the SMS issue, but I have never had this much trouble with a device before and do not know enough about the different partitions and how they work and such. Any assistance and advice is MUCH appreciated!
Thank you!
Nobody has any advise or explanation?
I don't know the version numbers you posted from you bootloader off the top of my head but did you update your firmware to one of the unofficial ones around before flashing one of the lollipop roms? Is so, are you sure it took completely as sometimes you have to flash it twice.
Alternatively you could wait for our official firmware to drop any minute now and have pretty good odds of working for you.

Yes I did use official firmware, and flashed twice per recommendations. I have it working with GPE, but every time I flash CM12 it breaks LTE. I have seen articles and posts of others running CM12 on their M8's with VZW and stating "zero issues"... Lack of LTE sounds like an issue to me. So my big question at hand is, why does CM12 break LTE, and is there a fix? Everything else seemed to work great otherwise.

I was reading the CM12 m8 thread earlier this week and many reported that LTE did not work on builds from late Feb. early March. CM12 is in no way stable and results will vary from phone to phone. Even the speaker issues have not been fully resolved. Bummer, because I'd really like it to be more stable.

Thank you for your reply. Definitely wanting CM since I used to run that regularly on my older devices with no troubles at all. The speed and simplicity are what I am going for. Sense is okay, but the difference of less than 300 megs with CM compared to over a gig for stock is unreal. WAY less overhead.
