I have purchased a Sensation XE on a Vodafone contract with Gingerbread. After getting the ICS OTA update, a new problem has aroused: When switching to another sim card other than the original, WiFi stops working. Its ON but All networks become out of range after a split second, sometimes tries to obtain ip address and then gone!
Now if i insert back the original sim, everything works like a charm.
After lots and lots of reading, i realize it is possible to flash a custom rom on the existing firmware (3.32.401.105) without needing S-OFF. I unlock the bootloader (v1.27) with HTC Dev, flash 4EXT recovery, boot into it, run super wipe script and finally i flash ARHD rom.
After OS starts, The same problem persists provided i have chosen to flash stock kernel during ARHD installation. I tried other Kernels but then WiFi wouldn't even switch on. (Error)
I read that error happens when you have kernel mismatch with custom rom and need to flash custom kernel that came with that rom.
Also i read that HTC dev doesn't fully unlock the bootloader and specific modules cannot be overwritten by custom rom. (like radio and boot.img)
The big dilemna here is that this is a sim related problem. with Voda sim i have no issues at all and my custom ROM works a well as my original rom.
Does anyone have any suggestions to share? Im dying to get my wifi back with any sim card! not only VODA!
I am S-ON, unlocked with htc Dev and now rooted thanks to super user signed script.
Thank you
Update
Had no choice but to s-off the device, super id and reinstall firmware. Did all that..
phone wireless is now working fine even without a sim card..
Then realized the sad truth:
-- UK Sim (Voda): Wifi OK,
-- UK Sim (T-Mobile): Wifi OK
-- Lebanese Sim (MTC Touch): Wifi OK
-- My Syrian Sim: Wifi NOT OK, NOT WORKING AS STATED BEFORE
-- MY Friend Syrian sim from another provide: WIFI not OK, NOt working as stated before..
What da hell?? Is this because of the sanctions? Sim properties?
Please someone help..
SOLVED !
I had found this earlier but had no idea it worked so well !
Check out this thread... Your phone needs to be rooted (have super user permissions) to use this fix.
Insatll APK and let it run !
So simple.. yey

Thanks.
I am using HTC Sensation with Singapore SIM card. When I am in Qatar i use Qatari Qtel SIM. Same problem as yours.
called HTC support. They dont have a clue. They are useless in solving this problem.
I have yet to try the method you posted. I will keep this thread informed about my result.
Thanks for your post yeh!
I ordered an unlocked Rogers HTC One X to use on at&t, which I received yesterday (Wednesday). When I got the device, I inserted my SIM card, added the "at&t pta" APN (which I found here on XDA) and connected just fine to at&t's LTE network. No troubles through the rest of the day.
This morning (Thursday), I noticed I only had "4G" signal, i.e. not connected to LTE. I checked in the mobile data settings, under Network Mode, and saw that the GSM/WCDMA auto was checked. I switched that over to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, LTE showed up in the status bar, but I had zero data connection. This has been the case all day today. The LTE symbol is there, but only the Up arrow blinks between white and black; the Down arrow does not light up at all, so no data on LTE.
- HSPA data works fine
- my at&t plan is definitely provisioned for LTE (I've been using a couple of other LTE devices in the last few months with no trouble)
- LTE data definitely worked yesterday (speedtest showed over 15mbps down and 11 up)
- I did put my SIM card back into my Galaxy Nexus for a couple of hours last night before putting it back into the One X (I'm thinking this is somehow related, but can't figure out)
- I've tried a couple other at&t APN settings (Cingular wap - fine for 3G data, but no LTE, 'Phone', again fine for 3G data, no LTE)
- My SIM card is indeed a micro-SIM and is only a couple of months old, at most
Any ideas? I'm pretty much out of ways to troubleshoot at this point, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I think there is a specific AT&T APN that you need to plug in to get LTE enabled. Did you make sure your SIM is LTE compatible? Are you running the stock Rogers ROM or did you install a custom ROM? Is your bootloader unlocked? Have you tried updating the radio to AT&T default radio?
Just wanted to knock some of those questions out there.
I think the AT&T PTA APN is the LTE setting that's out there. I haven't come across any others.
I'm completely stock (it is a Rogers rom), haven't yet rooted or unlocked the bootloader or anything like that. Nothing has been flashed.
Actually, I just realized I ran the software update last night before bed, which put me on software version 1.94.631.3. Android version 4.0.3, Sense 4.0. Now I'm willing to bet this is the cause of my trouble. But HSPA working and LTE not working is still puzzling.
I wonder if it's the radio version not being 100% compatible. Are you willing to unlocking and flashing a custom Rom based on an at&t Rom? That could rule out a software issue assuming your apn settings are good.
I have the Telus version and had lte issues until just recently on CleanROM.

I was thinking about going through the unlocking/flashing process this weekend actually, as I'm pretty sure there is an issue with the radio like you said.
Just need to find some good tutorials to get me started.
Thanks!
Check out the guide I have in my signature. It's for the Telus variant, but the Spoof-CID would work with the Rogers version as well. Also, the Rogers version is, by default, unlockable though HTCDev.com so you're good there. The step by step instructions on HTCDev is pretty straightforward, but having a tool like the Spoof-CID program helps in getting the required information sooner.
Definitely read up on it and ask as many questions as possible. Good luck!
Great, I'll check out your link.
Thanks for the help.
So I managed to get LTE working!
I figured I would at least flash a different radio.
- Started out with the htcdev.com unlock method, which was pretty much painless.
- Used the method in Athrun88's signature to get TWRP flashed over to the One X
- Downloaded (and flashed) one of the CM10 nightlies
- Downloaded (and flashed) the AT&T 1.85 radio file
- Dialed *#*#INFO#*#* from the deviced and selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto network mode
- Got LTE!
Flashing CM10 might not have been completely necessary of course, but I couldn't resist, and it's been pretty great so far.
Make sure you go and knock out the superCID hack too. That way when things go wrong, u can use the 1.85 at&t ruu and skip all that in the future:beer:
Hi SBA1226
Thanks for sharing. I had the same problem after doing the Rogers update and thought the At&t LTE service was out in my area.
I had flashing experience with my gnex, but never dealt with HTC phone. What exactly is that Spoof-CID.bat procedure as described in Athrun88's guide? Was that the guide that you follow? Would really appreciate if someone can point me to a step-by-step (maybe with picture ) guide.
Another question I have is do you loose functionality like wifi hotspot or media link HD when you flash custom rom like CM10 or cleanrom 4.5 DE?
Thanks.
I did not use the spoof-CID in Athrun88's guide, but I did use the rest of the guide to get TWRP recovery flashed to my One X.
You'll want to start out by going to the htcdev.com site, registering, and following the step by step instructions there to get your bootloader unlocked. They make it really easy to complete.
Once this is done, you should still be in fast boot mode, so just follow Athrun88's guide to flash TWRP, and you're on your way to flashing ROMs.
I can't speak for CleanROM, but I've had no issues with wifi tethering in CM10.
Also, there are quite a few guides on YouTube that I found really helpful.
Good luck!
Thanks. I will try it this weekend.
By the way, is there a simple way to back to stock? Thanks.
I was in the same situation with a Rogers One XL, no LTE on CM10, and here's what I have done so far to get LTE working, though I'm not quite done.
1. RUU back to 1.94 Rogers (from this thread): http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/sho...X-XL-LTE-RUU-s
2. Unlocked the bootloader using the official process, flashed TWRP
3. Flashed the stock rooted 1.85 ATT ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
4. Flashed the ATT 1.85 firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
I had LTE now.I then flashed to ATT 2.20 ROM & FW (not RUU) and LTE still worked.
I assume it was a RIL/FW compatibility/requirement for ATT LTE, so going to CM10 should work, but I have not tried.
Hope that helps some.
So I was considering getting a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card and trying it out, so went ahead and flashed a T-Mobile radio to my Skyrocket. After that, everything in the phone info appears as "Unknown" - unknown baseband, unknown IMEI, etc.
I've tried flashing two different AT&T radios now, with no result. What should I do to return the radio to a working state?
OK, I finally figured it out myself, so I'll just leave this here in case it helps anyone else.
The problem was that the first T-Mobile radio I tried replaced several files in /system/ which were probebly from an older version of Android. This just broke the system's cellular stuff entirely. The solution was to reflash CM10.
Hi, I have an HTC one S from T-mobile , but unlocked to use in Mexico´s Movistar Carrier.
The phone has unlocked bootloader, Rooted, custom TRW Recovery, Stock Rom Jelly bean 4.1.1, SW 3.14.531.17 710RD ,

Hello All,
Recently I have updated my one x on 4.2.2 with the help of this http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/news/ and after that my phone is not picking singal of my sim before the update it was working ok. I tried 2 different other network sims and they worked but my sim is not working I had touched my tongue on the golden area of the sim and then re-insert the sim and it pick the signal but they are gone in 10 mins. Can anybody tell me how can I fix this problem ? Is this is the problem of the firmwear update ? can anybody tell me how can I downgrade my phone back to 4.1 ?
Thanks in advance
Imran
You can't downgrade to an earlier Android version unless you unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery, get s-off, and flash a custom ROM or run an earlier RUU. I think this is a bit extreme though because you're not experiencing a software issue, you're experiencing a physical problem with your SIM card or SIM card tray. You can try sticking a piece of tape (of two) to the back side of the SIM card, this will force the contacts together a bit better. That will probably fix your problem.
