[q] radio help!!! :(

hey everyone,
i just updates my desire s with a new rom (not mentioning the name) and my phone is acting kinda crazy... as in the calls are not getting connected properly and half the time people complain they arent able to contact me either... the problem is im not much familiar about this stuff... bt, have a feeling it might be the problem with the radio. i tried restoring to older backups. no difference and realised that the radio doesnt get backed up.
i need help... does anyone know what to do about this...???
thank you in advance...

Relax.
And stop with the sad smileys...
The radio is not affected by a ROM flash, it is on a separate partition and you don't have to fiddle around with it if the problem has presented itself only after flashing a new ROM and was working alright previously.
Also, there is no disgrace in mentioning the ROM name, so please do tell us the following details:
Are you Revolutionary S-off or did you unlock using HTC Dev site?
What ROM are you currently using? Is this the first ROM you have flashed, coming from the stock one, or have you tried out other custom ROMs before this?
Let us know the answers to the above questions and we'll try our best to help.

Yeah, please tell us the name of the ROM, we'll be able to give you better help. Some AOSP ROMs (Oxygen, BlackICE) have calling issues. Also, as enimaamit said, a ROM does not change the Radio, it needs to be flashed separately (something i don't recommend you do). The problem is probably in the ROM

Yup. And thanks for that additional bit of info about Oxygen and BlackIce.
And another possibility is that this could be his first custom ROM (based on an official Sense ROM), and he might be coming from a stock ROM which he just unlocked using HTC Dev, so the kernel could still be stock... (if he didn't flash boot.img separately), and this might be allowing him to boot, but causing other issues like the one he just described.... I have an uncanny feeling that might be it!
I don't know, just letting loose the Sherlock inside

well, this wasnt my first custom rom... i have flashed from stock rom->cm nightly builds->oxygen->icecream sandwich 4.0 alpha builds to the current wp 7.0.4 rom by mmmcfc... i used to use his previous version-wp7.0.2 which was awesome and gave me no problems but, ever since i updated it, i have been having this problem. i tried flashing back to other roms as well and still kinda the same issue. and im on revolutionary s-off...
hope these answers are helpful... thanks for the reply guys...
EDIT: also, i used to have similar issues when i was in the stock rom at the very beginning which got solved later when i recieved an official update...i.e. before i s-off'd my phone...

He He He... guess i'm not much of a sleuth then!!
Are you sure the call drop issue is not a network provider problem {since it is happening on other ROMs as well, and it wasn't there before (your radio has been the same all along BTW)}
Have you tried putting your SIM in a basic phone and trying out whether the problem persists....this could indicate a network problem. I remember a few months ago Airtel service had gone to the dogs and everyone on Airtel (especially in Delhi) was writhing in agony...
Secondly, try using another carrier's SIM card in your DS and see if the problem still persists...

sry...i think u got me wrong der... i used to face the same problem on stock rom while i purchased the phone but, after updating it,it was pretty much and i never faced any problems until now. and i dont think its the carriers problem as im able to use the same sim card on a basic phone without any issues... and other users on the same carrier around me aint facing any problems with the network either... so, i guess im pretty much stuck and back to square one... :S

What phone do you have? Which specific ROM did you flash? What instructions did you follow? Lots of people are using ICS ROMs with not trouble, so you should be able to get it to work, but need more info.
Here is droidstyle's guide that may be of some help... it's written for the Fascinate, but it applies to other versions of the i500 as well. You just have to make sure you have the correct files for your device.

[REQ] Android 4.2.1/2 ROM for Galaxy Victory 4G LTE

If possible, I'm willing to donate $100 or more to a developer that is willing to cook up a Jellybean 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 custom rom for the VM Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE. Possibly an AOKP rom. I'm currently running cmbaughman's PACMAN rom atm and I love it. So if it is possible, $100 donation goes to the first runner up.
(sorry about the placement of the post, I didn't know where else to post it since there is no SGV forum threads)
Troll on.

port
Why dont you just port one from galaxy s3 they are basically the same phone. let me know how it goes.

re-f*#*ing-tarded... because i'm a "NOOB" i cant post a very valuable pertinant reply to your request if theres an outside link, soooo....

work in progress ... updated 2 days ago...

It's being worked on. The Galaxy S3 (d2) and the Victory (goghspr) are similar, but not exactly the same. The display is different, and there are not any other devices I can find with the same display as the goghspr. WIFI is not the same, BT is not the same, etc. There is already a booting CM-10 for the goghspr, but I stopped work on it to move to CM-10.1. The link you provided is to the post of a guy I'm also working with, g60madman. Give us time. I'm working on the kernel when I can (I'm disabled and have a new painful injury to deal with). The apexqtmo guys have been very helpful and are allowing me to dig through their work to get some stuff for the goghspr/goghvmu kernel. I already have cm-10.1 building, but it won't boot until I get the drivers ported. Create thread with the device name and show the generation of interest as often as possible. I've already requested a dedicated forum, but there needs to be a real NEED for it before we can get it. Cheers and out!

need that 4.2 rom!

Thanks for the support. There is not a forum on XDA for this device. There are two on androidforums. I have ported cwm and twrp and have released a faster kernel and some other junk too. I think others have some stuff there too. Hit my github link and you'll see some repos and forks for other guys basing off my work. g60madman just patched our kernel up and he's setting up for cm-10.1 for the goghvmo. Again, take a look. We're legit. My time is limited during school break and i am disabled so progress goes in spurts. Cheers and out!

yup found it

Maybe this will help:
http://www.oudhitsquad.com/android/Samsung/SPH-L300/Mod/recovery/TWRP-2.5.tar
Remember, uncheck auto-reboot. Once flash is finished, pull USB cable and battery. Replace battery and boot directly into recovery using VOLUP+POWER until blue letters are seen in upper left corner. Release buttons. That should get you going. Use goomanager to update to TWRP 2.6

where do i utilize that file in odin? im real new. thanks human!

[Q] Locked bootloader looking for roms.

Yes I have looked everywhere. I got my phone and after the security update. Well it's rooted wooh! But no unlocked bootloader and honestly not looking like it/kinda nor do I want to unlock it. So does anyone have any safestrap ROMS I could look at? I really like PAC-man but does not load... so yeah any suggestions? Even cm10.1 or cm10.2

You'll need to use SafeStrap to run a ROM. With that being said, you're going to run into very few ROMs that are SS compatible. CM10.1 supposedly is comptible with SS, but I haven't found proof of that anywhere. 10.2 won't work with SS. There is a way to make ROMs work with SS, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet, atleast they haven't posted it anyway. There are a couple of stock based ROMs that have been posted lately that are reported to boot on SS. For others, you'll need to search for ROMs that were built prior to our bootloader being unlocked in April. However, if you run one of these versions, know that they are based off of 4.1.1 or the previous 4.1.2 and you might run into kernel issues.

Thank you
Thank you for the information. I'm hoping at some point there is a way to make a ROM SS compatible. Anyways if you run across any please if you wouldn't mind sending me the link to any of the SS roms you find. I'm sorry i've looked all day just haven't seemed to have found one sadly... And i'm primarily looking for 4.2+. Thanks in advance!

I can almost guarantee you won't find 4.2 or 4.3. Supposedly, to get ROM to boot on SS, it's just as simple as unpacking it and removing the boot.img then re-packing it, but I'm not really sure. For current comptible ROMs, you'll have to dig around on here and Droidrzr.com.

Hyperdrive RLS 12 on i970 and USCellular

I always up installing the latest version of Hyperdrive and invariably there are ways some slight issues. I seem to remember when I stepped up to 10.1, I installed the ROM, then the upgrade and if I remember correctly, I had to add a new kernel. SO what is the trick for RLS 12 final? I have did this and when I reboot is hangs. Any pointers would be appreciated!

I've never heard of an i970, nor can I find reference to it, at least as an Android device, so I can't even point you to the proper forum on XDA.
Maybe this thread?
I'm pretty sure this one for the SGH-T959 isn't it.

Upon doing some research, the only thing I could find that would be close to the phone you're asking about is the US Cellular Galaxy S4 (SCH-R970). I've also done a little searching here on XDA and have found no specific forum for this particular phone. The only thing I can say is clicking the "S4 Links" link in my signature and checking each of the Carrier's Devices. I know there was a "Stock Firmware" in the international forum (General Section), but there were also other hits in some of the other carriers. Hope this helps with what you are looking for.
