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

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....

3G/EDGE/GPRS not working with CyanogenMod and Baseband 62.47S.20.17U_2.22.19.07I

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC Magic (Sapphire). I think my hardware is a pre-release version from Vodafone (Italy)...
With CyanogenMod (v4.2.14.1) the 3G/EDGE/GPRS is not working at all!
Info:

So my Baseband info is: 62.47S.20.17U_2.22.19.07I
When I configure APN (these are correct) I can't go to Internet (3G icon don't appear in the upper toolbar). With previous original Vodafone firmware I was able to surf.
Please help me,
thanks,
thebis

Any ideas?
Thanks,

I can confirm this. Using 32A, from Vodafone Romania. I used AmonRa's tutorial to remove the perfected SPL, then applied the latest stable CyanogenMod: 4.2.14.1. In Wireless Controls, also there are two options missing: Enable only 3G, and Always on mobile internet connection.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thank you,
Cosmin
Not a hardware problem
I think your problem is that you don't have correctly set up the APN (Access point) which is necessary to access to the Internet using the GSM connexion.
Are you able to make phone calls and to access the Internet over Wi-Fi?
I have now AmonRA's ROM and it's working, same settings. It's weird, I don't see anyone else complaining about this...

I confirm that is not an APN setting problem. I have the same setting as my friend's HTC Sapphire with a more recent baseband... and mine is not working

Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548379
It's not CyanogenMod, however. It's AmonRA, it works fine so far. Please let me know if you have any problems installing it...
Update:
Since you are already able to flash a ROM, I guess that's all there is to it, skip the first (~10?) steps. Just make sure you have the right radio, and install the ROM.
Can someone, more knowledgeable than me, confirm that the radio and the ROM must match?

I was using CurseSence for about a week after Rogers kicked out my data connection. I missed Cyanogen so I flashed back to 4.2.14.1 and had data for about 24-36hrs before getting kicked off again. Over the last 36hrs I have been on the phone with Rogers 4 or 5 times now and apparently they now have a mass ticket open for a bunch of Magic users regarding the online waver not working. I am sure it's on Rogers end as my data was working and I had not flashed anything before I lost 3G.
I've experienced this problem and it turned out to be a bad sim card. I went to the local t-mobile shop and got a replacement and that fixed the problem. See if you can try out a friends sim card to test.
Good Luck!

Problem with calls when phone is on Auto GSM / WCDMA

I've bought my Sensation XE on January from a store here in Greece.
From the beginning i noticed that when either i was making or receiving a call ,after 2 or 5 min ,i stopped hearing the person on the other end and he couldn't hear me also.
I've checked the phone and the call was still active.I've tried a lot of times either making a call or receiving one with different people and different Carriers.
That was happening only when my phone was on Auto GSM / WCDMA.When i was changing it to GSM only everything were OK.
I thought it can be a problem of my Carrier and i went to the store to get a new SIM Card.Despite the new SIM the problem still exist.
I called HTC Support and they told me to take off the battery while phone is turned on, then do a factory reset, and asked me to put another Carrier's SIM.
I did all those things they proposed ,but still the problem exist.Then they told me to sent it to HTC Official Service Center and tell them about my problem.
I went to HTC Official Service Center and told them about the problem and my communication with the HTC Support and they kept my phone for a check.After one week they informed me that they will replace the Main Board with a new one ,but i have to wait 2 weeks cause the Main Board comes from Turkey.
Finally last week i received my phone and the papers with the Main Board replacement and my new IMEI.
I installed my SIM , my SD Card ,and the Battery and i've synced only my Contacts from Gmail.I 've started making calls and after 5 min the same problem , call freezed like dead.
I called HTC and they told me to sent it again to Service.
If anyone can help me , or has any common experience and it's solution i'll be grateful.
Thanks.
My HTC Sensation XE info:
CID: HTC__M27 (HTC Turkey) although i bought it in Greece
Bootloader: 1.18.0000

I've already take a new SIM Card and also a SIM Card from a friend's mobile with different Carrier.
I'll make the test without sd card also and i'll come back with the results.
Thanks.
I tried now without sd card but the call freeze on 3 min.
Anyone else that can help or give me a solution pls ???
I've finally got it back today from HTC Service.
The reason was (as they said) a problem with software and they were waiting 3 weeks from HTC Taiwan (which is responsible for all software deliveries) to sent them an upgrade.
I turned on the phone and the software thing was ....... ICS.
So now i'm having :
My OLD____HTC Sensation XE info:
CID: HTC__M27 (HTC Turkey) although i bought it in Greece
Bootloader: 1.18.0000
Baseband: 10.14.9035.02_2

HTC Sense: 3.6
So if can anyone help me how to export this Official Stock ICS Rom from my phone and uploaded somewhere , in order other users to have it , it would be nice.
Thanx.

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'.

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] 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.

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.

Running a Rom Update Utility (RUU) on the HTC One XL Evita

RUU on the HTC One XL Evita
All work is by other people who posted the original info. I take no credit for their work. It would take another complete post to thank those responsible for providing the information below.
I cannot be held responsible if you try any of these procedures, and your phone becomes inoperable or otherwise damaged. Read thoroughly before performing these actions to your phone. Know the risks, and understand what you are doing before trying anything.
I put this post together because I noticed that folks on our forum ask these questions multiple times on a daily basis. I don’t know how some of our more experienced users bounce around all day to answer them. I also noticed there is no one place to find all the info below. I had to dig through many threads for hours to get this together. This is a work in progress and will change as new info and better methods arrive. If you find a better way to do this or outdated information, please let me know and I will update. Thanks
Definitions:
RUU – Rom Update Utility. It is a Windows based exe file that contains a complete operating system including a stock recovery, bootloader (Hboot), and radio (Baseband.) This program is run to bring the phone back to a stock state while the phone is in bootloader mode.
OTA – Over the air update. It is an update package used to update a stock operating system. It is not a complete operating system and contains only parts that are getting an update . You can’t install an OTA on a modified device, only stock.
Bootloader (Hboot) – The Bootloader or Hboot, is like BIOS to windows. It is the first thing that runs when you boot up your Android device. It packages the instructions to boot the operating system kernel and most are specifically designed to run their own debugging or modification environment. Basically, an Android device is like a hard drive that has several partitions, which holds the Android system file in one and all the app data in another. For all these partitions, Bootloader (or Hboot) serves as a security checkpoint that is responsible for checking and initializing the hardware and starting software. There's a common misconception that can you just change the hboot but that isn't the case, you need the full firmware that comes with the RUU.
Bootloader mode / Fastboot mode – One and the same. This is the environment where you can flash a custom recovery (the stock recovery has very little options), flash Roms, etc. To enter Bootloader mode, power down the phone and then hold the power key and the volume down key at the same time until the phone enters bootloader mode. If your computer is not connected you will see “Fastboot” highlighted in red. If your computer is connected you will see “Fastboot USB” highlighted in red. This still does not mean that your computer can communicate with the phone. More on that later.
Firmware – The image version i.e. 3.18.502.6, 2.20.502.7 etc. The firmware contains the Hboot so don’t confuse the Firmware version number with the Hboot version number or Baseband version number. You can check this out in more detail while looking at the RUUs available and it will make more sense. Each software version is connected with the CID (Carrier ID) and MID (Model ID) of your device. That means you can't use whichever version you want, unless you have S-OFF on your device. Each ROM Update Utility.exe package will check your device details (bootloader version, MID and CID) before starting the update process.
Baseband (Radio) - The baseband (radio) is completely separate from the ROM, it's stored in an entirely different partition. Don’t confuse this with Hboot or Firmware.

Important info:
Note: This guide may or may not apply for the UTL middle eastern variant. I think the jury is still out on that. If anyone has additional info it would be a big help for many of our users.
S-On – If you are S-On then you must pay particular attention to the RUU you choose to install. If you have obtained SuperCID then you need to gain S-Off in order to run a RUU. You WILL brick your phone. Remember this, S-On + SuperCID + 3.18 RUU = Brick. Make sure your CID is not 11111111, 22222222, or any other variant of SuperCID. If so, it’s time to S-Off. I recommend the following links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540232
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
But if you wish to remain S-On and currently have a stock CID (verified) then you can run the appropriate RUU while in bootloader mode. If your bootloader is unlocked then you must relock it prior to RUU. You must use an RUU that matches your CID and carrier. You can use the same version that is installed on your phone or a higher version (again that matches your CID and carrier.) This is normally done to fix issues, upgrade a stock phone manually, or start over with a fresh install.
S-Off – If you are S-Off you may choose several versions of RUU. It is recommended that you choose 3.18 which comes with the 2.14 Hboot. If you want to run a Sense based Rom you may experience data and wifi issues and are further recommended to upgrade your Hboot to 2.15:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517148&highlight=ruu
If you plan to use an AOSP Rom (4.3 and higher) then the 3.18 RUU is a requirement. You do not need to upgrade your Hboot to 2.15 to use an AOSP Rom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps for running the RUU:
1. Download the RUU file you need. It will be an exe file (remember what I said above about S-On and S-Off.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37227608 or
http://androidruu.com/?developer=Evita
2. Backup all your files you wish to keep and make a backup of the phone in recovery (if you have a custom recovery.) When I run the RUU on my phone, it doesn't erase the files on my internal storage (SD Card partition) but I still back it up just in case. I recommend you make a back up too.
3. Install the most current HTC drivers.
http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
It is recommended that you install HTC sync to get the drivers and then uninstall HTC sync but keep the drivers if you are having connection issues. If you have windows 8+ then you may encounter connection issues known to exist with the new windows. If possible, use a Windows 7 computer.
4. Install Fastboot and ADB drivers. I’m including some links to help you understand what this is and how to use them if you don’t know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
5. Make sure you charge the phone. I recommend 100% (leave no room for doubt.)
6. Place the phone in bootloader mode by powering down and the holding the power key and volume down key at the same time until the phone boots into bootloader.
7. Connect the phone to the computer.
8. If you are matching your current Firmware you need to type the following in a CMD prompt: “Fastboot getvar all” and check your firmware. If you are S-On and you have 3.18 you can’t downgrade. You must stay at 3.18. If you are on a lower version than 3.18 then you can go higher.
9. Make sure no other programs are running, make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.
10. Run the RUU exe file and follow the prompts. Be patient, There will be times when it appears to be doing nothing but it is still working.
11. After it finishes, (it usually takes 15 to 20 minutes) if you are stock, reboot into system. If you are modified, you will need to reflash a custom recovery, custom Kernel, Radio, etc.

I’m hoping this guide helps those who don't understand the RUU process. I know I learned a lot putting this guide together. Using a RUU was a concept I had to read a lot about and search around quite a bit to understand. I personally ran these instructions several times with the 3.18 RUU and everything went fine.
Special thanks goes to Timmaa. He must type the acronym RUU about 100 times a day helping people and many tidbits of info in this guide were taken from the advice he gives. I'm hoping I can save his keyboard/touch screen from wearing out!
Some Error codes and explanations pulled from internet:
ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR
This error message indicates that the RUU lacks some specific files or they are damaged, so the RUU cannot continue with the update. You have to get the complete RUU package and try again.
ERROR [120]: MAIN BATTERY POWER
This error message will appear when the Android phone’s battery power is not sufficient (Batter power should be more than 30%). Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it will still need to make sure that your Android phone has enough power to complete the update. (The Android phone cannot charge the battery when it is connected to the PC while installing the RUU).
ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the update. The RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the Android phone. Make sure you use the correct RUU to update.
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
This error message will appear when the Android phone is not correctly connected to the host PC. It might be a USB connection problem or a PC USB driver problem. Make sure the Android phone is connected to the host PC correctly and/or check if the PC driver matches the Android phone.

Every HTC update has the following numbering structure:
a.bb.ccc.d
a - the first number of the software. Normally it doesn't increase very often, but when it does, it usually means newer Android version.
bb - this number is also a software number. Increasing bb number means some more or less major update based on the same Android version, but sometimes it might even bring newer version of the HTC Sense.
ccc (also cc or cccc) - this is the number of the region/carrier. It has nothing to do with the software itself being newer or older. More details below.
d (sometimes dd) - the third part of the software version (the fourth one in the RUU name). Usually indicates some minor update with some hot fixes.

Example: 3.18.502.6
So basically, when you are interested in the software version, you should look at a.bb.d (3.18.ccc.6) because ccc (502) means only the region/carrier variant of the software.

The list is quite long, and there are still some some missing. If you know more variants, please let me know in the comments section.
The 401 and the 707 devices are usually the first ones that HTC prepare updates for. Carrier branded software is usually months after the WWE updates.
(Originally posted by Mike1986 on the Android Revolution Blog. The RUU software numbering system is universal for all HTC devices)
Well done! I've PM'd you a few recommendations for slight alterations but it's looking really good.

Believe it or not a healthy portion of the guide came straight from your posts. I rephrased when appropriate to combat outright plagiarism! I feel obliged at this time to put you in the credits somewhere because I just nicked another tidbit about Hboot changes from one of your recent posts. lol
Lol, thanks. I wouldn't really call it plagiarism though, it's just the way it's done so there aren't many different ways you can say it.

I wouldn't install any RUU from the standard Evita onto your device. The last person who installed standard firmware onto the middle eastern Evita bricked his phone.

Added some error codes and explanations
Added software version info
Added some additional information, cleaned up a few instructions to make them more understandable, and need to make something clear:
This is written for the HTC ONE XL EVITA!
It states that in the title. Most of the information is applicable to multiple HTC phones but I only focused on this model. Thanks
The AT&T 5.18.502.1 RUU has been released. Download link:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/news/
It is android 4.2.2 Sense 5 and includes the 2.18 Hboot and 1.35a.32.45.27_10.144.32.34a Baseband (Radio).
At this time the exploits that worked with 2.20 and 3.18 do not work with 5.18.
It's recommended you be bootloader unlocked and S-Off or you will be stuck with this upgrade until exploits come out.
Current root methods do not work either.

This forum section is specific to the One X (EVITA) and you should go to the One S forum for the best and most accurate information for your device. Advice given by One X users might not be completely accurate for your device, and may even harm (brick) it.
What I can tell you, if you are trying to downgrade JB to ICS (sounds like you are) that is only possible with s-off, or otherwise hacking the version number. Otherwise, RUU will fail version check (what you are installing has to be equal or greater than what is currently installed) and not complete.
