My phone isn't receiving any data. Can anyone help? - HTC Sensation

Last Friday and Saturday I began having some serious issues with my phone. The SIM Card would randomly disconnect and reconnect and my phone would randomly restart. Starting yesterday, this issue no longer occurs, but I am unable to get any data on my phone. WiFi works perfectly, but 2g, 3g, and 4g never connect. The 3g icon will appear for a brief moment and then disappear again.
I'm currectly running the most recent stable release of Cyanogenmod 9, if that matters. I also think this could be a hardware issue, so if I have to send my phone in should I try to go back to stock firmware?
Thank you in advance!

Have you tried a different radio and ril combo? I lost data once and I looked in the generic ICS radio and ril files. I upgraded to newest radio and ril and I was up and running again and never had a problem with it since. You flash the ril like a Rom and the radio like a pg58img file. Best place to start would be just the generic ICS radio and ril files. There is about 7 I believe give or take. You can try it out and see if that helps you out . It fixed my problem completely and I had NO data at all. Best wishes, it won't hurt to try. Test out a few and see what works best for your area. Hope this helps!

Is there any sort of risk in doing this? I haven't tried flashing these before and thought there was some potential harm.

Hi,
Are you s-off?
If not, you cannot flash any firmware or radio.
And yes, flashing a bad radio can brick your phone.
If you do flash one, make sure to check the md5 checksum first.

Flashed different radio - Lost HSUPA - can't get it back [FIXED]

i am at a total loss here.
I was on CM7 with the stock AT&T radio and HSUPA was working just fine.
I then tried to flash another radio (The Telus one) and i lost HSUPA.
I checked the build.prop and it is still showing that HSUPA is enabled.
I tried flashing back to the AT&T stock radio and HSUPA is STILL disabled...
Anyone know how to re-enable this?
I am completely puzzled here.
edit: this is fixed. see solution HERE

Try flashing a different rom and see if that will work. I would try stock rooted.
Thanks but there has to be another way.
I font understand why flashing a radio (Telus, i even tried a euro radio), would disabled HSUPA from nowhere and the radio is completely ignoring the build.prop file which has HSUPA enabled.
By searching i saw another user had this problem but no solution was posted.
I had to ruu to stock and rerun the hack kit.

THIS!!!!
I had to do the same. I searched and tried everything. I am afraid the only way is to reflash to stock and start all over again. And don't flash any other radios. I have read so many radio threads looking for the solution and most everybody I see worldwide is getting the best results with the stock AT&T radio.

I guess that's what i'll have to do.
Is there a specific way i need to flash the radio in order no to lose HSUPA?
I simply used fastboot.
I do see other people on this forum who successfully flashed a different radio.
How did they do it?
There is no better radio for the inspire than the stock one. It has no hsupa limitations built in or nonspecific kernel issues, unlike the captivate. Don't flash any other radios, simple solution.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Is there a way to check which radio we have? What is the identifier of stock radio?
Not sure exactly what happens but something gets screwed up somewhere.
Originally I used the Hackerize kit and flashed the original radio. Instead of flashing a Sense rom, I went straight to CM7. Everything was perfect except I did not have HSUPA no matter what I tried. I tried multiple radios and editing build.prop. Nothing worked.
This second time, I used Hackerize again. This time I took the extra steps to flash one of attn1s cooked roms. I booted that and made sure I had HSUPA before moving forward. Then I installed CM7 again and now I have HSUPA. My uploads are faster than my downloads in my area.
OK here is the deal:
1) I RUU back to stock
2) Ran the hack kit again except for the last step i never flashed back to the at&t radio as this is what is causing the problem.
3) I then tested by flashing like 4 different radios (NONE FROM AT&T) and never lost HSUPA again.i flashed 3 euro radio and 1 from Telus both on euro stock firmware and CM7.
There is something with the at&t radio that once you flash it - something gets messed up when you flash another radio.

I've flashed the stock radio and the M2 radio back and forth and back. I've never had problems with HSUPA. I just did a speedtest to make sure because I'm back on stock radio and it is 1542down/1347up.
The stock radio sounds HORRIBLE... there isnt a better way to increase call quality???? Everything sounds so raspy.

Is the audio quality in the radio? I thought it was in the rom. I would have guessed reception quality would be in the radio. Related but not the same

Before you flashed back to stock, did you flash the radio back to the stck ATT radio or when I flash back to the stock ruu, it changes the radio back to the ATT radio?

Thanks man! This solves my problem, the only thing is all I did was open the hacker tools and pull out the down graded radio.img and flash it then let it reboot fully then just flash whatever radio to want and you get hsupa again on the modem if your choice. Hope this helps someone.

When you guys get HSUPA back, how do you know? Are you checking Menu>Settings>About Phone>Network>Mobile network type?
I've tried everything but this to get HSUPA and I can never get HSUPA to show as the network type. I'm nervous about flashing a new radio because it sounds like I need Eng S-Off to flash a radio and it seems there is a greater risk of bricking my phone if I screw it up than just with the radio s-off.

How I know if I have it or not is when I run a speed test, if my average upload speeds in 3G or "H" are less than 1 mb/s, I do this by using the speedtest.net app.

ROM issue

I tried installing BAMF 3.0 RC2 on my phone, and I can't seem to get it working properly. Upon startup it force closes a bunch of things and the radio shows no signal at all. I have ran the MD5 on the download to ensure integrity. Also did a complete wipe prior to flashing. Could this be a radio problem? I haven't done any radio upgrades.

when you say everything is the same, do you mean it still has the previous radio version number?
I'd suggest that you both:
1) Wipe data/dalvik/cache and flash back to a froyo ROM where you do have a signal
2) Upgrade from froyo to the MR2/2.5 radio
3) Re-wipe data/dalvik/cache (or even do it twice for good luck ) and re-flash BAMF 3.0
If its worth doing, its worth overdoing, especially when you're messing with radios and the like. Best of luck!
That's the same problem I first had with gingeritis before flashing the correct radio.. if you are still experiencing the problems after the radio flash i would suggest confirming the radio did install by checking the version number..
if it is all correct do as MattBeyers said and wipe and reflash
Thanks, that seemed to work. I still got a couple of force closes but much less than before. Also I can see my radio now! If I wanted to restore my old my Backup (Stock Froyo - MR1), do I restore my backup then flash MR1? If so, does anyone have a link the MR1 image? TIA!
I'm always one to upgrade/downgrade radios before I flash a ROM, so I would say to downgrade to MR1 and then flash the Froyo backup. Also, try going into ROM manager and using the Fix Permissions tool to see if that helps with some of the force closes.

Any reason for flashing one before the other? Reading through several of the ROM threads, it seems like everyone has a preference, but no one explains why.
I tried mr2 and mr2.5 but could only get 3g. Went back to CM7.

I just feel like the radio, being the thing that, well, controls every useful function on the phone, should be installed and present when a new ROM is flashed. I may be wrong, but it would seem logical to me that a new ROM would talk to the radio in order to make sure everything is kosher. But what if that's something that a ROM will only do once, at the first boot, and not once a new radio is flashed? Then, all of a sudden, you have the right radio, but its configured improperly by your ROM, since the ROM has already gone through its initial boot set up with the old radio. Therefore, my theory is radio > ROM (Please note, theory. )

This makes sense from a logical reason. Perhaps a ROM developer on this site can confirm this.

[Q] Desire S loosing signal

Hi all,
A week ago I bought a brand new Desire S and installed latest CM 7.1 stable following the guide on cyanogemod Desire S Wiki using revolutionary 0.4pre4. Everything was smooth and nice, I flashed ROM and GAPPS and my phone is working absolutely perfectly... but there is one little problem...
I am using Desire to fetch my mails from 2 mailservers using IMAP every 30 mins. But when the phone is switching between network modes i.e. HSDPA -> EDGE or EDGE -> GSM or any other way, I am disconnected from operator network for about 10 seconds until the network mode changes and everything is fine after that, until there is another network mode switch.
This happens for me about 10 times a day, so my phone sometimes appears that It is turned off for people who want to call me. Immediately after connecting to network I get a missed call SMS from my operator.
Interesting thing is, that when I disable email fetching, disable background data transfer and disable network data, the phone works fine without "blackouts".
Can someone help me with this problem? Maybe a radio issue?
Some more info:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Desire S
Recovery: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
HBOOT: 6.98.1002
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
There is a newer radio-file online.
Maybe it's solving your problem.
I'm using MIUI and never had such problems, but i'm interested in flashing CM, so please report if the problem is gone by flashing newer radio!
Which radio version are you using?
Today I am testing 2G only switch so I am on EDGE data only.
Flashing radios is safe......, but a bad radio flash will instantly brick your phone.
You are using 1.47.401.4 radio, try updating to the 2.10.401.5 one.
Thanks for reply.
Shoud I flash something else with the radio?
I have 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 downloaded from cmw.22aaf3.com
Another I have is ftom OTA update zip file OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210fmxlt12djw1sr7y5.zip where is one radio.img in formware.zip file too - version unknown
So Which one to flash?
and if so, which method should I use to flash radio? The Android SDK one or the ZIP + Bootloader one?

Strangely I had the same issues as you on Endymion.
Then I updated radio to the latest.
It worked well.
Then I went to CM7. It was fine for a while, but now I'm losing signal with no 3G bars and its not switching automatically to 2G like it should when It has no 3G signal!
EDIT:
After really reading your post, I realise my issue is no way like yours! Yours seems really bad. Update your radio.

I flashed 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 back, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
... what now ... ?
After each flash wiped cache and Dalvik...

main problem is when i am driving and the phone is switching network modes.

i already had the problem for several times, and i also pulled out the battery (you shouldn't do that)!
only had to boot into bootloader, start recovery, wipe all partitions, flash rom and was having fun again with my device
this thread could help you, if really stuck on HTC logo
For your real problem on loosing the signal, did you ever tried out using actual stock rom, or another custom one like MIUI?
i used MIUI from 2010-08 till yesterday, now trying out CM7.1 for some days
I have the same or a very similar problem. I have the stock rom.
I already had 3 different desire s motherboard's and 2 different display's.
The first Desire S i had, with android 2.3.3, had a excellent signal. Due some problems i had, the phone bricked and had to go to HTC to repair.
HTC replaced the motherboard and update the version of the android to 2.3.5 and ever since the signal caption, the signal switch was working very bad.
The phone went to a second repair because of this, new phone, and again with android 2.3.5. The problems persisted.
I also tested with different SIM cards, from different mobile operators.
So, my conclusion is either android 2.3.5 or this new versions of Desire S have problems with signal caption and signal switch.
So as you, i need some help with this issue!

I am still testing new radio, but looks good Give me some days let you know...
Hi All,
I have a similar problem with the latest CM7.1 nightly builds (Reaper, jorgen2009). I never saw this with older CM7.1 versions, e.g. Nexx version, ICS, MIUI oder Endymion.
I have WLAN on and leave my house. Phone switches to 2G/3G..., so far so good. When I return home, The WLan sign in the status bar appears again, everything seems to be fine, but I have no connection. I get no data via WLan until I swicth WLan off and on again.
Radio is the latest from 2.10.401.5.
Best Regards
Wrapp
Had similar problems, upgrading to the latest radio helped. I got stuck on the HTC screen and I went through flashing RUU's and unlocking bootloaders back and forth... when the only thing that needs to be done is to wipe the cache.
Learned a lot about bootloaders though. But my warranty got void because i did the htcdev unlock... (Sorry for OT)

[Q] Wifi Error, No Bluetooth

So I got myself a Desire S.
Problem is, everytime I switch the WIFI toggle to ON, it would say
"Turning On..."
for a little bit, then It would say "Error", and everytime I try to toggle the BLUETOOTH to ON, it would say the same and just returns to "OFF" position.
Status of the phone before rooting and flashing:
"LOCKED"
SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT: 2.000.20
Radio: .....10.08.04_M
I tried flashing several ROMS including the Kernel(BOOT.IMG) via Fastboot;
Virtous Quattro RC3
Reaper V3
IceColdSandwich 7.5
CM7.1 NIGHTLY
also tried flashing to stock RUU with Radio and HBOOT versions;
Gingerbread 2.3.3 --> Europe and Asia Versions
Gingerbread 2.3.5 --> Europe, Asia, India Versions
Currently on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 Rooted through Superoneclick
Until now the issue persists. I'm wifi and bluetooth less.
I've tried searching Google, found some "USB-BRICK" topic on the DESIRE forum, didn't work.
Motorola forum, mentioned a reflash of the Radio.
HTCDesireSForum mentioned a reflash of HBOOT and Radio.
Here in XDA, it mentions that in flashing ROMS, on HBOOT 2.00.20 you have to flash BOOT.IMG from the zip file of the rom via Fastboot.
Tried and failed. I'm beginning to think this is a hardware issue.
Anyone with an idea why or to a solution?
nobody? I haven't found any solutions so far. I really hope someone could help or atleast point me in the right direction
Any updates on your issue?
Have you tried bringing it in to service centers? It looks like a hardware problem.
your issue should just revolve around changing hboot, radio and rom.. I cant think of anything that could affect those hardware..

Flash hboot of your choice and the latest radio and stable Rom choice.

I'm not sure about the bluetooth, but I may have a fix for the WiFi.
I have a One S and I started getting the same error when I tried to turn on the WiFi. It turned out that my wpa_supplicant.conf file became corrupt somehow. I just deleted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and it fixed the problem.

Dear XDA!
I'm a new member in here. I downloaded softwers from here.It's working correctly. Yesterday I upload the Fallout 4.3 software then the wifi connection is failed. I try another software Nik Project X and the problem was the same.

HTC Sensation/CM9 Best radio

Hello every one,
So my question is does any one know what the suggested radio for a Sensation on CM9 would be? I just rooted my Sensation about a month ago and have tried a few different roms, most recently Android revolution HD and now CM9 rc1. So far I love CM9 and plan to stick with it for a while but I feel like I'm not getting the best data reception. It seems like I drop from H(4g) down to 3g and back up again quite often in areas where I had fairly reliable service before. I've done some google searches and searched the forums here as well as CM's forums and can't seem to find a recommended radio file.I'm no longer on a stock radio since Android Revolution suggested a different one. Suggestions? Thanks for the help.
The reason you won't see a recommended radio file is because what works say for me might not work in the areas you live in. So radio is something you will have to experiment with to find your correct radio with matching ril file.something that works well in YOUR area. This is why people can not recommend a great combination for you. You will have to find what works best in your Area. When you flash the radio don't forget the matching ril file that goes with it ok. So do some experiments and see what works best for YOU. You flash the radio like any other pg58img file from bootloader then delete the file Afterward or it can prevent you from going to recovery. The ril is flashed like a Rom. Hope this helps you and answered your questions. So you alone must find what combo works best in your area. Best wishes to you.

Ok, so using what you said, I stumbled into THIS post and started rereading(I had actually looked at this before but didn't "get it"). I see that some of these are posted for certain countries. Is there a way to tell which ones are for tmobile 4g in the USA? Is anything NOT listed for another country assumed to be from the USA? Is there another list of radios/rils I should be starting with? Does country of origin actually matter at all?
If you scroll down you will see a link to ICS mirror on that same page. It has several generic ics radios , those are generic so I believe they will work with ics. I'm T-Mobile and I used the newest radio on that page and it works great! I would NOT use a radio labelled for a different country. For me I kept on the safe side and used the ics radios. The link is just before the gingerbread radios start. The name of the contributor is written in blue. That link will take you to ICS radio/ril mirrors. They work great for ics. Find the combo that works best for you and your area.
Best wishes.

So I downloaded, checked md5 and flashed a new radio. Now my ROM wont load. I can still get into recovery but it wont load CM9. Suggestions?
You have to find a radio and matching RIL file that is working for your area. Did you use the generic ics radio file WITH matching RIL file? Each radio has a matching RIL file that goes with it?
You install both. Then see which combo works best for your area. In my case I used the newest radio/ril combo for ics. It is working well in my area .

I did use matching files, but it wouldn't boot. I ended up reloading stock tmouse firmware and re-flashing CM9. Ill have to try again tonight since I cant get away with any more while I'm at work.
Ok I'm glad you got it working! Best wishes!

Just as an FYI - After you flash new firmware, you need to go into recovery and wipe Cache, or wipe both cache and delvik cache. Otherwise, you will never get past the cm9 boot logo.
I learned this the hard way

Doh! Did not know that, and I didnt wipe it until I tried flashing a new Rom. Wonder if that would have fixed it right off.
