[Q] t-mobile sensation 4g - ics upgrade puts me in big trouble!

complete noob! please help!
I received the OTA and upgraded the phone to ics. The phone is an unlocked(to accept any sim cards world wide) t-mobile sensation 4g. When I upgraded the phone, it had a Qatar telecom SIM card inside and it rebooted and connected to the mobile network. However, it doesnt want to do wifi connection! it doesn't list any wifi SSIDs to connect!!!!!
to test, i put my t-mobile usa sim card and the wifi works fine!!!! also, vodafone UK sim card works fine!! But, when I put Qatar telecom sim cards, the wifi doesnt want to work!!!! i tried my friend's qatar telecom SIM card to see if the problem is with my sim card, but that one too didn't allow me to connect to wifi. I tried without any SIM cards also and then too it didn't list any wifi access points!!!
I did factory resets 2 times already and that didn't help either.
i rebooted the phone and pressed the volume button down and the phone shows the following....

Yes they do. See Steve007 post in the development section.....it has the ROM and the RUU link.
Sent from my FireStorm StockMod (Release Date 5.18.2012) Sensation 4G

i am downloading the RUU now!
will it put what they call "stock recovery" also?
but what I don't understand is when i put a different sim card, the wifi works! i can see full signal strength and connected to my SSID. is it any way connected to SIM card?
i will run the RUU and then let you know.

ran RUU linked by steve. unfortunately it comes with a 155 error. then I get update fail, security fail
i so much like the ics, but the wifi issue kills me!
may I know how I can put the phone exactly to how it came out of the box?
the software and stock recovery?
t-mobile site doesn't give any information on the problems....

[Q] how to flash new radio ? too many options..

my radio is old and signal is weak in most areas, need to upgrade but there is too many radios and a few tutorials, one option is to flash it with terminal via usb here is the main thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178001
the second option is to flash it as you flash hboot by bootloader. thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312144
Q wich one is the right one ?
Q2 wich radio to use ? (i guess the latest from [RADIO] HTC Desire S Radios [PG88IMG.zip] (Updated: 21 Oct 2011) thread)
im using android 3.5 - HTC sense 3.0 - kernel 2.6.35.10 htc kernel - radio 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M - Hboot 7.00.1002 | Reengineered 2.00.002
tnx for your help !

There is no such thing as "old radio", and newer radio doesn't mean better signal.
Both of the options lead to exactly the same result and achieve exactly the same thing in exactly the same way, it's just that one is assuming you're knowledgeable enough to put the file on SD card yourself and the other doesn't assume even that.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with this ROM, I'm on same baseband and radio. I get 'no SIM no service' message on the lock screen. everything else works except carrier (O2 UK).
What did you mean by "check mobile network and register with carrier " ? I've tried scanning for carriers, but it doesn't work due to 'no sim'.

I am also on O2 UK and can't get the sim to work. How do you check mobile network and register with carrier?

So this seems to be an issue with albinoman887-pyramid ROM, not my SIM. I tried Bruce2728's latest CM10 build - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 and it works just fine, but would really like to get Jelly 4.2.2. No other ROM has ever given this 'no sim' error. Anything in build.props that may be missing?

[Q] flakey data connection after cyanogenmod rom flash

So I finally took the jump and rooted my T-mobile Sensation 4G (including unlocking the bootloader, sim-unlock, S-OFF, root, SuperCID, did I forget anything??). Flashed Cyanogenmod 9.1. Have CWM ROM Manager installed, and Titanium backup.
It works MUCH better than the stock ROM, and I'm very happy with it, EXCEPT, the radio's data connection (very fast when working) stops working for hours at a time. There does not seem to be any trigger for this. The regular non-data connection (phone calls and texts) continues to work. The H by the signal strength indicator will flash on periodically, maybe every few to 10 seconds at best, but you never actually get a connection. (3D and E do not appear at all). The signal strength is full. This happens both at home and out.
I thought it might be the radio, and after looking into that, decided to flash some new firmware. Initially (after the rooting/update), it was reporting firmware (from fastboot getvar version-main) of 1.24.401.1. On the boot screen, it said Juopunutbear (I used that method to get S-off). It was reporting baseband of 11.69A...
So I flashed the 3.33 universal firmware, and used the GetRIL app to update the RIL. It now reported firmware 3.33.401.106 and baseband 11.76A...
But no difference in data connection - not working at all.
So I flashed the 3.32 stock TMO firmware, used GetRIL again to get the right RIL. Now reporting firmware 3.32.531.14 and baseband 11.69A again.
But again, no dice on the data connection.
Wifi connection works fine, so I use that when in range.
Other current info:
bootloader screen:
HBOOT 1.27.1100 (this went down from 1.27.1111 version, which I think the HTC bootloader unlock installed).
Radio 11.23.3504.07_M2
eMMC-boot
firmware version:
3.32.531.14
From the running phone itself:
Android version: 4.0.4
baseband: 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2
kernel: 3.0.36-g7290c7f
Cyanogenmod version: 9.1.0-pyramid
The one thing I have not tried is to flash a different ROM than the Cyanogen...worth trying (any recommendations?) or another other ideas of what might be going on?
thanks!

[Q] Sensation radio vodafone uk

Hi
I flashed my sensation to ARHD 6.8.2 when I got it last August. Recently I have had problems with 'no service' and 'no sim installed' so I flashed to ARHD 7.2 with SebastianFM kernal. I have found that when connected to web the 'no service' problem has gotten worse so I think I should maybe flash to the UK vodafone radio to see if that helps. I originally bought the phone in Spain. I think it was originally locked to Vodafone Spain but was unlocked when I got it.
I'm just not confident to work out what I should change. Do I need to flash the RUU and RIL? I'm not developer and a bit of a noob but I can follow instructions without problems. I did manage to root, S-OFF and flash a ROM so just need the right information which is where I am counting on you.
My CID is 11111111
Radio 11.24A.3504.31_M
My setup is
ARHD 7.2 XE
ICS 4.0.3 / SENSE 3.6
Kernal: 3.0.16-v1.5.2 SebastianFM #1
Build 3.33.401.154 CL391535
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
What is the correct 3.33.x build for Vodafone uk? Can I just flash that over what I have now without causing conflicts? Or do I need to flash a different radio?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure a RUU will help.
2 things you can try.
1. Lift off the back cover.
At the bottom of the phone there are 2 gold pins for the radio.
GENTLY lift them to make better contact.
2.Get a new sim card.

Hi
I already tried the pins approach and my sim card was new in January. Could the sim really be a problem only 3 months old??

Hi,
Go to the market and find the app called "Getril".
Run it, and see if there is a better radio/RIL combination for your phone.

Thanks for that tip on the app. I ran it and it says the RIL is unknown which is understandable as the ROM I have is only a few months on the market.
So no real step forward.
This morning when I switched on my phone after a full charge it was saying 'no service'. I rebooted it and it had service. Could that be the SIM or is it a hardware/software issue? Is there a way to debug the phone to see what is causing the signal loss?
I need to get this fixed as I need to be obtainable by phone as my wife is pregnant and going through some problems. If the phone is buggered then fine I will get a replacement but if it is a simple software issue that can be rectified then doing that is preferable.
Another thing I noticed...when I have no service and I switch to aircraft mode and then back again it says 'no sim installed' so that is without touching the sim nor removing the rear cover.
I think I read somewhere the 3.33.x build for vodafone uk is something like 3.33.161.x whereas I have the universal 3.33.401.x
What is the difference? Is it the branding?
What is DisH for vodafone UK for?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28316588&postcount=1111

Hi,
That disH is for GingerBread roms.
The difference in numbers is just a minor update.
Where did you get your current radio from?

Hi
I don't remember if I changed the radio when I first went to ARHD 6.7.2 or whether it came with the ROM (ARHD 7.2) or whether I have not changed the radio. I think it came with the custom ROM
Is it the correct radio?

Hi,
Your radio is not quite the latest.
Go to the radio/ril thread in the Dev section, by stempox
You can get the latest 11.29A version.
Read the instructions carefully.

I'm all up to date now. Thanks for your help everyone.
