Hello to all!
Just want to create this thread hoping to help others
I am not a developer, but got my own unlock shop
My clients do bring many Sensation phones which have problem with Wi-Fi after update to 4.0.3
I did try all methods just to fix it:
1.JTAG soldering, repair boot, flash radio zone, changes hboot version. after flash with older software
2. Root the phone, install supersu, install Wi-Fi fix .apk
did solve many phones, but yesterday another client brought another phone with the same Wi-Fi problem.
I said to myself: easy tiger! perhaps there is another shortest way!
All I have done is: go into Bootloader Mode > Factory Reset & VIOLA!
After reset Wi-Fi works like a charm.
All I ask is, please. Who have sauch a problem, just do this step & confirm in this thread.
Kind Regards
Factory reset via bootloader mode works like a charm. Been having the same problem and doing factory reset under setting, but doesn't work. Thanks for the info man.
dint work for me. so rooted the device! works fine now!

hello,
can you please tell me what did you just did in details cause i tried every thing i ddi't slove the wifi issu and what hboot you use ? firmeware, kernel, rom ... can you tell all that
Thank you
This is the most common problem encounter during the OTA updates. I would suggest install the right RUU if you want stock ROM its better than the OTA updates.
I had issues with the OTA as well, my phone would say no Sim card but when i placed it in another phone it worked just fine. T mobile support told me that the update did something that wouldn't allow non 4g sims to communicate with the device, I originally had the MyTouch4g. So i went over to a T mobile Store to switch my sim with a 4g sim out but the problem still remained the same. Called support again and they warrantied out my phone and sent me a replacement within 2 days. Just sharing my experience with OTA issue.

[Q] Issue with 1.47.401.4 : often get "Limited Service" and hard to get signal back
Hi there,
Since 1.47.401.4 (and never before with 1.28.x), I'm experiencing issues with the radio, especially voice:
1/ I often get a "Limited Service" warning in places where I could easily get a decent signal to give a call.
2/ Each time I got the "Limited Service" warning, it can take ages before the signal gets back (after I moved to some other place).
3/ Sometimes, I need to reboot the terminal to get the voice signal back.
I did perform a full wipe (factory reset) on my phone and install the rom again (using the roms.zip method within the bootloader) but it didn't really solve this issue.
I also cleaned the sim card contacts, just in case, but this was useless.
I also chose "GSM auto (PRL)" in the phone settings, this helped a bit, but still this annoying issue remains.
If someone got a clue, I'm interested ! And if anyone is experiencing such weak/bad signal issue, I'm interested in your feedback.
Cheers.

I have the same problem! 1.28.x was OK, bet the newest one in terms of receiving signals is just terrible!
Hi, have you found any solution so far ?
HTC wants me to sent my phone back but I don't think this issue has something to do with the hardware...

In complete contrast to what you two are saying..(see my old thread where I had this problem with the older radios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133785)
I'm now running on the latest radio but not the latest ROM (as I use LBC MOD which is currently based on a 1.36 ROM) and I no longer experience this problem.
My conclusion being that the newest Radio is better.
Thanks for your feedback.
Would you then say that the "Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M" was the answer to your phone bad signal issues ? Then, I might need to use another rom an check if that helps...
Anyway, did you try to change/update phone/radio settings mode (__http__www_google_com_support_forum_p_android_thread_?tid=42655c79e5837499&hl=en) ?

I have this problem as well and have emailed HTC but received no reply yet.
Also sometimes it all looks okay and allows calls out but incoming calls go straight to voicemail.
Well, HTC will probable ask you to send your phone for repair.
Actually, this is what they've just replied to my email. But I won't send my phone for a simple flash that I could do my-self !
It seems this is a known issue of the HTC phones (there are plenty of such reports on the internet).
Although this problem hasn't effected my calls on the latest radio version, I do agree that I've often seen what looks like severe signal fluctuations, from zero bars to full bars etc, I've also read about this being an issue on the incredible s
I'm hoping that further rom and radio upgrades will improve this.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
It seems that the "Limited Service" issue is caused by a signal loss (i.e. using the elevator for instance) that is never followed by an automatic "good signal" retrieval (i.e. after leaving the elevator and going to a place where signal is usually very good).

I'm afraid that I don't understand what this question? could you PM me?
did it mean did I switch my phone to WCMDA only? if so the answer is NO, mine is set to Auto as around where I live and work there is reasonably good signal.

yes, this is what i wanted to know anyway, this didn't change anything for me.
Have you progressed any?
I tried flashing to 1.28 via the RUU at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 but it doesn't appear to want to do a downgrade.
I don't seem to get getting the no service at the moment but I am having problems with incoming calls going to voicemail when the phone claims to be connected.
I put my SIM (giffgaff, a MVNO on O2-UK) into my old phone (an XDA Zest) and put an O2-UK SIM into the HTC. At times I could call the XDA with no problem but calling the HTC went to voicemail - two phones next to each other on the same network....
Of course I can't say if this was a problem with 1.28 as I wasn't looking for it but I suspect 1.47 is the problem.
As expected HTC want me to send the phone back which I think I might do and try and persuade them to downgrade it for me.
yes some progress, at last ! I followed the step by step procedure to s-off the rom 1.47.401.4 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488) and then downgrade to the 1.28.401.7 rom that I was using originally. And now everything works fine...
i could say that once again i learnt that newer doesn't mean better

What method did you use to do the downgrade?
I was thinking of trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190992 which I don't think needs s-off.
Update: I tried the non S-OFF method and have downgraded to 1.28 - I'll see how it behaves now.
I used the PG88IMG.zip method. Basically, you need to copy the roms.zip extracted from the RUU installer to the root of your /sdcard and then reboot your phone to the bootloader.

I ran the RUU exe directly which seemed less involved. It's looking good so far but I'll need to get out and about and see how it behaves in different locations.
I'll not be in such a hurry to install an OTA next time...

solved using the first steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16796075#post16796075
-------------------------------------------------------
same problem here... tried the PG88IMG.zip method but it said "main version is newer" or something like this... so it didn't work..
do I have to do something before that? I used this ruu:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release
and currently installed is this:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
where can I get a rom.zip that works?
After earlier saying that I'd not experienced this limited service problem, I have now witnessed this a couple of times.
Although, since I applied this
20.4130.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M RADIO I haven't, will re-update post if I do!
This is the Radio that came with the recently leaked Sense SAGA Sense v3.0 ROM and appears to work fine with LBC mod.
does anyone know if one can install this radio over 1.47 with s-off and no root? and if yes - how?

I'm getting exactly the same problem, 3G doesn't works, the phone doesn't detect any APN.
Did you solved it?
Saludos.
shtrihcode- If you are on stock unrooted phone, make factory reset, if it's still like that, take it to the service center(presumably you have waaranty), it may have something wrong in the hardware. You can also try a thread below
ryohnosuke- check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055298 if not, reflash your current rom, ore choose some other.
Well, I fixed adding the APN of my carrier, only that. :silly:

Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"
.
You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.
So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?
maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.
I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work
Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
Hey guys,
So I got a quite annoying problem and I already spent quite some time searching the forums and google without results. Either the solutioins didn't work or the cases I found were unsolved.
Anyway, here is the story.
I have a xperia tipo (st21i) and I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader and flashed several kernels and roms to find the one I'm most comfortable with.
I used: CM 10.0, paranoid android, super jelly bean and performa v4 in case this is of any interest.
I decided to go with cm 10.0 and it worked fine until after one reboot suddenly my SIM card was unrecognized and it said I should restart the phone with a valid SIM card. I flashed different ROM's and went back to stock now but the problem persists. I really ran out of ideas and since I'm not really skilled and rich of knowledge beyond the point of flashing and the rough structure of android I'm a bit helpless here.
Any help is really appreciated and thanks in advance
P.S.: first post
I don't know if it would work but you can try it
Try flashing ics ftf it should work fine..
follow this may work
first flash the original .ftf file then flash cm10 :fingers-crossed:
This happened to me aswell, but it was a while ago, when I wasn't even rooted yet. Went to the shop to ask about it from them and they said SIMs can go outdated or something.. They gave me a new one and it was fixed. But if you decide to ask them about this, make sure you are on stock ROM and locked bootloader, also unrooted. Because if not, your device isn't under warranty, and they can blame it on that

So you are saying it's due to my SIM? It still works perfectly fine in my other phone (a samsung galaxy xcover s5690). The phone was used when I got it and I don't have any receipt or anything so I don't have warranty on my phone anyway right? Should I still visit a shop?
I also tried ICS and it didn't work either. I got the ftf file from that link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-official-st21a-america-firmwares-t2302630
I tried flashing different kernels and roms already even after it refused to take my SIM but nothing helped. It didn't fell down or anything so I don't think anything went loose inside. Could it still be due to hardware failure?
heeey
I got almost the same problem
few weeks ago i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/sony-xperia-tipo-dual-t2594389
about making custom roms works tipo dual by making it 1 sim not 2 well its ok with me so i used it and all was perfect
custom rom - working gsm - fast - smooth like i dont need anything else
but yesterday well my annoying gf was spamming calls while i was sleeping so i turned airplane mode On
then after i wake up i turned it off and suddenly the device can't recognize the sim any more the same problem this dude got
so i tried everything like tryin to swap the sim place - installing new rom - restore my old stock rom - hard reset - testing the sim - so i tried installing the last update stock ftf which is 11.0.A.6.5 i think it's like this using flash tools anyway it worked and the problem is solved now the phone is workin with no problems u should try it

Need some help for my device [T-Mobile] HTC ONE S (S4). I'm using in INDIA.
For the past 3 years i have used this phone in 3G network with out any issues. Last week i flashed a new ROM but after that i don't get 3G signal.
I tried a lot of ROM's and Radios but still it is not working. So i flashed the stock ROM and RADIO but still its not working. I understand the bands the T-Mobile uses differs but it was working fine before flashing a different ROM.
I don't know what to do.
So please if any one using the same do upload your ROM and RADIO and other things that influence the phone to work.
P.S: I posted in various threads and asking for help but i don't get any reply hence started a new thread so everyone like me can find it useful.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I flashed the Official T-Mobile JB RUU and my phone started to reboot after showing up the "preparing Phone Storage" (soft bricked)
Finally solved the issue:
I have flashed the official T-Mobile JB RUU after relocking the bootloader, S-ON, change CID- ********(Stock cid , In my case its T-MOB010).
Now i have a brand new phone working good.

thanks for the reply,
I tried it and still my radio gets error . voice quality gone to worst.
I tried to install a custom rom again without s-off and i succeded but my phone reboots occasionally and my radio disconnects from the network occasionally and do get it back i need to search for network.
Atleast all other things work good.
Im planning to try to flash my kernel with the official stock kernel downloaded from HTC .
Will post if that works.
Thanks again
Best voice quality is in stock rom!
