SMS Delay:should I flash leaked radio? - HTC Desire S

I have a very bad SMS delay problem. Since I installed Virtuous Saga I had this problem. It persisted even after I installed Fallout. I noticed that the problem dissapeared when I did not use mobile internet. I did some research and discovered that a while ago, many people had this issue, and that the sense 3.0 OTA solved it. From what I know, that OTA had a radio update. So I think that a radio flash could solve the problem. But I want to ask the rest of you if it is worth it to flash the radio, because I am too afraid of jumping to conclusions

So should I flash the radio or not?

I had sms delay on cyanogenmod 7.2 when I had old radio (from sense 2.1 ota). There is a topic named 'sms issue on cyanogen...'. I have flashed radio and problem seems to be resolved. You may try. After flashing radio I had to reformat partitions and restore rom backup.

I am having the same problem on every single rom. The biggest problem is that i am experiencing this on the Desire S, on
the original Desire and i have a friend that has it on a Increbile S

It could be carrier's issue too. Bad network signal?

It can't be, the phones are used in different parts of the city and the network coverage is ok.

I read on a thread somewhere that this problem is caused by the phone getting stuck on HSDPA, and that the Sense 3.0 update to the radio solved it. Still, since I'm on ICS I should try and update to the leaked Virtuous Saga radio, and if I succeed I will tell you how I did it

Hi, did you resolve your sms issue with a radio update? I'm having the same issues with sms delay - my thread for info

Might be telling you all something that you know already - in which case sorry.
But you need to be S-OFF (unlocked) in order to flash a radio, people who have unlocked using HTCDEV cannot flash a radio.
If you did unlock via htcdev, will need to relock, downgrade and apply revolutionary to achieve S-off.
There are a couple of downgrade guides in the INDEX (see link in my signature).

I think for htcdev.com unlocked devices it is possible flashing via PG88IMG.zip, containing radio.img and proper android-info.txt files

I have not solved my issue, because I was too afraid to flash the radio. But, I installed Virtuous Infinity, and the problem (the delay) wasn't as big as it used to be. Still, it is there. Is it really that dangerous to flash a radio?

My device was unlocked with revolutionary so I do not have that issue

yes its risky, but everything that we tend to do to our devices, carries some risk..
If you ensure that you check the md5sum of the radio file once its actually on your devices sd card and only do so with a fully charged battery you minimize the risk.

I'm ok also as I s-off'd via revolutionary. I just thought, I flashed to the pre-rooted stock 2.3.5 via install.zip in recovery. Would this have contained the updated radio? Or would it only update the radio if flashing via RUU?
My current radio is: 3805.06.02.03_M
I should be able to answer my own question with a bit of digging around here.

I'd suggest that you want either the latest leaked one (see link in my sig) or this one

I've flashed the radio. All seems to have gone smoothly. I wont know for a while though if it has fixed the sms delay and dropped signal issues. I'll report back.

I wouldn't, several people with it have reported losing sound completely (not just in call) after making 2 - 3 calls and only a reboot fixes the issue but after the next 2 - 3 calls sound is gone. Many of those have gone back to the last official radio which is the one you just flashed.

[Q] New Sensation Hboot/firmware

Hi there,
Just a quick question, i'm currently running a GB custom ROM/kernel and very happy with it, but i am interested in trying an ICS ROM.
Once i flash the new 1.20 hboot, can i flash GB roms over it if i decide ICS is too buggy at present?
Or would i need to roll back to 1.17 hboot?
Thanks in advance
To me I hated the ics firmware and I went back to the original 1.45 firmware afterwards

so long as you have a custom recovery, hboot version doesnt matter in regard to flashing ROM, you will be able to go back to GB

I don't know about the original poster but one of the reasons for going back for some is to regain advanced fastboot commands which are not supported HBOOT 1.20.
Although confusing some refer to the radio as part of the firmware. It is best practice to make your radio match your ROMs RIL and vice versa, but you don't have to.

Apparently not, if understand mike1986 comments correctly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618. Some partitions will simply be unused by a GB ROM.

I had good speed, no lag and good battery life, but then again, i flashed the RUU i dunno if that has something to do with it
If I decide that the new firmware is too laggy etc etc, is there an easy way to roll back to the device to the state it is in currently?
As in by downgrading the hboot, will that revert everything?
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using XDA App
@hereisphilly you could make a backup.
But I do not advice that. just do new installs, in this way it never breaks.
im currently on the same eng hboot 1.17 and im running insertcoin ICS rom, i dont wantto flashnew firmware i dont want to lose fastboot commands
the Hboot is not the issue with the new ICS rom's.
but the radio is. if the device is rebooting and looses wifi signal etc. try flashing only another radio. (you can always flash back the radio)

2.31 OTA radio flash

ok, this is my question, can we flash the radio from the 2.31 by fastboot??
Should have posted this in Q&A
If your HBOOT is 1.13 or higher, then the only way to update radio is via RUU or OTA. If your HBOOT is older, then you can flash radios in recovery. It takes 3 images: radio, adsp, wcnss.
There are posts around the forums that detail the process.

Tmobile US OTA 2.3.5 update broke wifi on Custom Rom

I'm gonna start this thread to find trouble shoot what might cause the problem after the update.
So what been update after on this OTA?
Hboot - 1.14.0004
Radio - 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L
Build - 2.35
The problem is you can't get wifi to work on any rom (Viper,Axiom,CM10,ASOP,MIUI). The only rom that wifi works is Custom rom Trickdroid 7.0 US or stock 2.35, since it base on nanoid backup of one user. Keep display connect and switch of and on.
Any inputs will helps..I'm currently running Viper Rom without WIFI LOL.
I post logcat while on Viper Rom for DEV to take a look.
There is already a fix for this, go read it ask on Trickdroid TmoUs thread.

I'm understanding it as if you only have wifi if your on a 2.35 build. If that's the case, it's more than likely firmware related. Only way to rid yourself off that firmware is to run an RUU and only 2.21 and 2.31 have HBOOT 1.14 that I know of.

Hello,
I think the only way to get wifi on Viper for you would be to flash the 2.31 ruu which has the same hboot. You will need to change your CID first. Here is a thread that might http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674202. I just dont know if it will cause any problems with other roms or with the stock if you go back. If the 2.35 ruu gets released you could undo it but not till then.

[Q] Questions about flashing a new radio

I'm thinking about flashing the newer radio without flashing a whole OTA update so I don't have to worry about re-unlocking, changing ROMs. So I have a few questions.
1. Is it worthwhile, first of all, to upgrade to the 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.20_2 radio over the original 10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07?
2. I downloaded a (older) radio-only PG59IMG (for the MT4GS) just to see what it contained and it had a radio.img plus android-info.txt. The android-info.txt was lengthier than the one in the OTA update. So is android-info.txt important to flash if I flash radio.img?
3. Some folks mentioned that it might be important to flash rcdata as well. How is this done?
4. And for flashing radio.img (plus possibly rcdata and possibly android-info.txt if necessary), what's the method? Put all required files in a PG59IMG.zip file or....?
Thanks in advance.
are you s-on or s-off? if you are radio s-off then you can flash the update via pg59img.zip through bootloader and the reflash recovery and rom. this take much time and although its easy (i guess) there are better ways. simply just flash what you want through fastboot, or you can remove what you dont need in the pg59img.zip
HEREis a little tutorial i made a in the g2/dz section on how to use fastboot to flash firmware, dont use the files in that post of course but the concept is the same
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
oh and to answer your other questions, it may be worthwhile, it may not
the problem is that usually the latest radios for a particular device is best for most, as the carrier will attempt to provide the clearest reception, longest battery life, etc for the majority of its users. but it still is on a case by case basis and what works for some may not work as well for others, so if its not broke, dont fix it.
having said that its not too hard to change back so feel free to test different radios and see what works best for you
as for rcdata, it does appear to help most people but you can try with or without it and see what works for you. some people say they get no gps without it, data drops without. other say everything is just fine. on that note there is evidence that matching the radio ril-libs will also give improvements, although for me i couldnt really tell too much and being they need to be flashed with each new rom flash i slowly stopped and havent noticed any improvements/declines in performance.
i just felt this is willing to note as so many seem to swear by it in the g2/dz forum and ive never noticed it in any other phones forum mentioned before Here is more info on edkeys research
hopefully all this helps you understand more

Personally, I got the latest radio by reverting to the most recent OTA stock, which included the radio. From there, I did the HTC unlock, did a stock backup after getting my basics configured, and now I have a full stock fallback to insure that I have something to recover from. Often, when I switch roms, I don't have a huge amount of time to deal with problems, since I use my phone for work, so having a good "safe" if not sexy backup is in my opinion a good thing to do.
Well, I got lots of random reboots after flashing the new radio. Same with radio + rcdata. So I reverted to the original radio/rcdata, which works fine for me. It was an interesting experiment. Thanks for the advice.

Revolutionary, back when I got the phone about a year ago.
There were problems flashing the new radio to Revolutionary unlocked devices back when the new radio came out. Seems that nothing much changed. IIRC to get the radio to work you needed to do the OTA and HTC Unlock to get back to a flashable device.

Ok, so I've ignored all rooting/unlocking developments since I already had revolutionary unlock. So can you correct me if I'm wrong on this? To do OTA and HTC Unlock AND restore S-Off, I would:
1. flash OTA via PD59IMG.zip
2. do HTC Unlock which I'm presuming is this? http://htcdev.com/bootloader
3. Do "JuoPunutbear" process to get S-Off (using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617488 )
And then flash radios, etc.
Is that right?
sounds right to me, and by the way radio soff is key for any android phone.

Hmmm, I'm glad a researched a bit more. Since I'm already Revolutionary S-Off, it doesn't look like that is currently reversible, so no going S-Off with a different method. So unless I'm missing something, it looks like I'm sticking with what I have, which works fine. Just curious if the newer radio might give me a little better reception.

well there are the obvious like different cpu, gpu, emmc partitions. and similarities like screen size and pixel density. but i think it would be tough. and would definitely need to match the radio to the spl. things like this have been done before (dream with sapphire hboot) but things needed hacking to work, which is beyond my ability.
if someone found a way to jtag the doubleshot (which for all i know its been done) then testing wouldnt be bad - if you are really interested in swapping hboots then talk to ezterry, he is the best at hacking spl's that i know of
opps, misread
i thought you were saying put the g2 hboot on the ds. the sensation is a lot more similar to the ds and more feasibly swapped but again i would talk with a higher authority on this to be sure.
also what is there to gain? im not too familiar with either phone so i dont know what benefit a sensation hboot may have over a doubleshot one

i thought maybe using the hboot from sensation it may open the doors for using sensation roms on this device. not sure really what all it would do but thought maybe it would open up more possibilities for our phone

well it might, like I said I don't know much about the sensation (or the doubleshot for that matter) but I gather the cpu and gpu are the same but there an offical ics? not really sure, but if there is there may be potential here but I'm sure the camera has different drivers than ours and that seems to be the only thing limiting our ics roms. maybe someone could shed some more light on weather it would be useful/possible

Just wanted to confirm:
I have PB S-OFF and ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
Fastboot reads:
RADIO-11.16.3405.20_2
Should I update the radio, I will have to reflash the HTC unlocked bootloader and re-do the PB S-OFF process, correct?

(I'm only looking at flashing my radio since I flashed
[ROM] [07-OCT-2012] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + other tweaks)
I have already tried the APN fixes outlined in the thread and am still suffering slow data speeds.
My current flashboot output is
Juoponut Bear

Thanks, everyone here!
Was having data issues with
[ROM] [07-OCT-2012] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + other tweaks
(250/150kbps average speeds)
My SIM card is a TM9073 model. A heard a TM9177 model SIM might solve the issue.
I solved the data problem in the meantime by flashing
[ROM]MikXE-v0.4[Custom Kernel][Sense 3.6 ICS][Tweaks/Quick Settings][updated 7/20/12]
I'm now getting 4110-5718kbps UP & 1773-2253kbps DOWN like I'm used to getting here.

Thanks!
So in this first hour after flashing, I can report back noticeable improvements in signal bars and 4G speeds (TMO-US network only).
Does this require any particular hboot like tecardo's thread or it doesn't matter?

S-Off phones, which I have, don't need to worry about hboot versions so I wouldn't know. I'll add a note on OP.
Ok cool, that means I'll have to S-OFF the missy's phone, smh. My hboot is 1.08 so I might be ok but not going to try it yet.
Sent from the other One.
Shouldn't we be flashing the WCNSS and adsp partitions too? I don't know if there's a method to check the version numbers.
I got the firmware.zip, I guess I'll try flashing all three.

what about the rcdata.img and wcnss.img ? i think thoes are part of the radio......i would suggest you just flash the whole firmware.zip
edit: oops I remember now that cm uses the system radio. doh.
I can't figure out how to extract the radio.img files. I'll just wait for tecardo.
edit2: no I got it. Sweet. I love torturing myself to figure this all out.

Are you S-OFF? If so, were/are you superCID? I think having supercid and flashing part of the ota is a no-no...
Testing new radio, thanks!
I have a test zip that includes the radio as well as adsp and wcnss partitions, but I need some testers to try it out
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k0es7z9qs4sp19/radio-1.13-xtra-test.zip
If is not affecting S-OFF, super cid or something, I can flash it. I have S-OFF and super CID.

I flashed the pack. Everything was ok, and I compared signal level with the One S of my colleague's. I had -81-83dBm and he has -83-85-87dBm so I think there is a improvement. I will check after 15min when we will be in another location. After that I will flash the radio on his device and see what happens.
Thanks for the radio!

As long as your S-OFF.

1st boot. The signal connected right away, no delay. Data speed has increased. WiFi no issues with locking if anyone ask.
