Hi
I flashed my sensation to ARHD 6.8.2 when I got it last August. Recently I have had problems with 'no service' and 'no sim installed' so I flashed to ARHD 7.2 with SebastianFM kernal. I have found that when connected to web the 'no service' problem has gotten worse so I think I should maybe flash to the UK vodafone radio to see if that helps. I originally bought the phone in Spain. I think it was originally locked to Vodafone Spain but was unlocked when I got it.
I'm just not confident to work out what I should change. Do I need to flash the RUU and RIL? I'm not developer and a bit of a noob but I can follow instructions without problems. I did manage to root, S-OFF and flash a ROM so just need the right information which is where I am counting on you.
My CID is 11111111
Radio 11.24A.3504.31_M
My setup is
ARHD 7.2 XE
ICS 4.0.3 / SENSE 3.6
Kernal: 3.0.16-v1.5.2 SebastianFM #1
Build 3.33.401.154 CL391535
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
What is the correct 3.33.x build for Vodafone uk? Can I just flash that over what I have now without causing conflicts? Or do I need to flash a different radio?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure a RUU will help.
2 things you can try.
1. Lift off the back cover.
At the bottom of the phone there are 2 gold pins for the radio.
GENTLY lift them to make better contact.
2.Get a new sim card.

Hi
I already tried the pins approach and my sim card was new in January. Could the sim really be a problem only 3 months old??

Hi,
Go to the market and find the app called "Getril".
Run it, and see if there is a better radio/RIL combination for your phone.

Thanks for that tip on the app. I ran it and it says the RIL is unknown which is understandable as the ROM I have is only a few months on the market.
So no real step forward.
This morning when I switched on my phone after a full charge it was saying 'no service'. I rebooted it and it had service. Could that be the SIM or is it a hardware/software issue? Is there a way to debug the phone to see what is causing the signal loss?
I need to get this fixed as I need to be obtainable by phone as my wife is pregnant and going through some problems. If the phone is buggered then fine I will get a replacement but if it is a simple software issue that can be rectified then doing that is preferable.
Another thing I noticed...when I have no service and I switch to aircraft mode and then back again it says 'no sim installed' so that is without touching the sim nor removing the rear cover.
I think I read somewhere the 3.33.x build for vodafone uk is something like 3.33.161.x whereas I have the universal 3.33.401.x
What is the difference? Is it the branding?
What is DisH for vodafone UK for?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28316588&postcount=1111
Hi,
That disH is for GingerBread roms.
The difference in numbers is just a minor update.
Where did you get your current radio from?
Hi
I don't remember if I changed the radio when I first went to ARHD 6.7.2 or whether it came with the ROM (ARHD 7.2) or whether I have not changed the radio. I think it came with the custom ROM
Is it the correct radio?

Hi,
Your radio is not quite the latest.
Go to the radio/ril thread in the Dev section, by stempox
You can get the latest 11.29A version.
Read the instructions carefully.
I'm all up to date now. Thanks for your help everyone.

Hey, this is my first post here guys, finally got a cell phone after going through school procrastinating the hassles and fun. Ended up getting the HTC Sensation from Bell Canada, because the Desire Z is now discontinued (September 2011).
What I want to know before I start following the noob's guide to S-OFF and root, is does anyone have an Original RUU ROM for my version?
HTC Sensation - Bell
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 3.0
Software 1.34.666.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10-ge52b0af
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 2 21:21:05 CST 2011
Baseband 10.46.9007.00U_10.12.9007.01_M3
Build 1.34.666.1 CL79935 release-keys
Browser Webkit/533.1
Model HTC-Z710a
I see many roms in the ROM list, 10.43, 10.42, 10.56, etc, but none for my 10.46.9007 baseband... Does that mean we're dealing with a new version here or has anyone had problems flashing it before?
There may not be one for your specific provider but the WWE unbranded editions will work fine if you need to run a RUU just make sure you do the Super CID part, and take a backup of your phone after installing CWM.
If you keep a backup of your stock bell software somewhere you can always restore then flash the stock recovery, from there if a OTA update comes up you can flash it and return to complete stock.
Thanks! I found how to do the ClockWorkMod backup, and it's saved in a safe location now. Thank you for letting me know that the unbranded editions will work fine in case of an emergency.
Oh and in case anyone is wondering, xl VipeR lx's guide to S-Off and root worked flawlessly with my Bell HTC Sensation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Nandroid doesn't back up the radio, in case you didn't know.
Download this to go back to 100% stock, radio and all:

I am looking for bell RUU 1.73 build , where can i find that?
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

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!
Hey guys, I am using the US T-mobile HTC One S, unlocked on the AT&T network. HSPA and phone signal works great. However, sometimes the signal status at the upper right corner just gets stuck at no signal, even though the phone IS getting signal and I can make calls perfectly. The "no signal" icon just gets stuck there until I restart my phone.
Anyone having similar problem?
Might be that I had such issues while on Firmware 1.53.
Now after update to 1.78 I got none.

To update the firmware I would need to be rooted, right? and If I root my phone right now, I would have to do a factory reset? (since my phone is S-ON right now)
Not at all!
I got the update via Stock ROM w/o any root - HTC just pushed it.
You would probably get it too, but based on T-Mobile efforts, so ask them about it.

When did you receive the new update? Has it been pulled by anyone yet? I'm on 1.53.531.16 710RD and I thought this was currently the latest. Also, are you on T-Mobile US as well?

Hi All! We've been working with this issue for 2 days at our help channel #helpmenow.
I currently have an s-off 1.27 hboot sensation XE running Insercoin v 2.0 ROM.
My issue is I don't have get signal for a particular carrier. (Other SIMs for other carriers works just fine). This carrier used to work before, I was just charging and then I noticed that it got no service.
These are the steps that I took so far:
1. Check antenna at the cover
2. Tried SIM on another phone (SIM Works)
3. Tried a DIFFERENT SIM from a DIFFRENT carrier, it works fine on MY phone.
4. called my provider but no issues on their side.
6. used RUU
7. tried RIL's
8. Flashed old 1.17 firmware to clean radio data.
9. Flashed a different ROMv with and without full wipe
10. Also tried downloading apps to enhance signal but to no avail.
we've been working this out with ganesh007, kgs1992, T-Junk, David_ and others on the channel but as of now I still got the same issue.
Hopefully you can help us figure this out so it could be of use to others who might have the same issue in the future.
PS: Right now I am using a different SIM from another carrier so as to get the phone function of the Phone. The carrier you see below my name is the one that is having issues right now.
Thanks in advance.

Kabayan, we are on the same boat. I have the same exact issue..Sensation xe(2nd hand), originally from Singapore(Singtel), went as far as going back to GB stock. At first, I thought it was just sim locked to Smart, but when I tried a Sun sim, it worked. At this point, I do not know what else to do. Tried cleaning s58,tried firmwares with different radio's, etc. After reverting back to GB and putting in a Globe sim it still says "Your sim does not allow a connection to this network" and no signal. If you got any updates, please let me know. Okay?
I have Cyanogenmod running 4.4.2 with baseband 1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L. It worked great on T-Mobile. couple of weeks ago I signed up AT&T, and now the signal drops constantly, phone calls is almost not usable, and mobile data is always on Edge.
Does anyone having the same issue? is this an issue of baseband? I read somewhere that european version of the baseband would work better with AT&T, can anyone confirm or deny?
Thx!
