Hi there, i'm search all the fourm for Treo750 and find no answer, so finally, I decied to ask.
I new got an Treo750 ATT (Unlocked) and it come with the very rear Radio ROM now which version is 1.17.20.00 (from ROMver 1.16??I don't know)
the problem is, with this radio, i have no internet access and have horriable singal drops, the worest is, it often sleep in to dead(like o2 xda flame).
So, I first tried changed the OS rom, but I flashed all roms all versions--from Offical to wm6.1, no luck...the problem still have.(I kick out the radio rom part from Offical ROM, see below for reason)
I don't know if there is something wrong with the hardware but I do have those steps below:
Flash OS rom, SPL, HardSPL,Radio
ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T change was the Radio ROM, first I cannot flash it.
it always stucked at 0%, and wait for 45mins, still 0%. I restart the device, reflash the radio less OS rom, startup, and radio don't change, the problem still have....
I tried everything, form offical rom with radio, even the Cheetchunlocker radio patch, SD/ActiveSync. All operation realted to flash the radio will result a hang....
BTW: I'm working in China, and will last for years.... I really have to change the radio to compatible with the China Mobile GSM....
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?

Both will work, i'm using method by using bootloader normaly
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.
-------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire S
So, here we go with the results
I flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal...
I flashed 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
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...
in your telephone-info there is shown the new radio after every flash?
do you have removed the batterycover, because there is integrated the antenna of your device!

No, the cover is at its place where it should be. Somehow I did the trick and I am back online with 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 on 2G only for now.
I read somwhere in the forum that ENG HBOOT is required for new radios... Are you sure I dont need to flash eng hboot it before new radio ??

in your area 3g is actually available?
may it helps to go outside, to find your net for the first time!
did you set an accesspoint for 3g?
may you have to set automatic settings, rather than 3g/2g-only?!

using same hboot as you, never had problems on flashing radio-files!
yes, in my area there is 3g, when I turn off 2g only switch there is a problem described in my first post, so i am on 2g for now just to keep phone connected to network.
main problem is when i am driving and the phone is switching network modes.
so I give 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 today another chance, try to flash if again.
but i am woried about stucking on HTC logo after flash :-( and brick it.

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!

But when I reboot to recovery it will flash the radio again I think.
i hate stock roms, and dont like MIUI design That is why I am using Cyanogen
Anyway if I use 2G only switch, the phone is stable as rock both calls and data transfer.
EDIT: OK, flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 sucessfully, signal OK, I will see what happens whet metwork mode switches
@Green Hawk:
give us more information about your device please, which radio you're using? Did they flash actual radion also?
@MyroLM:
report if the problem is still there or it's gone with flashing the rom
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)
I unlocked my G18 with the HTC-dev, and then I flashed recovery and flash a custom rom, but found my Wifi can't be turned on. So I checked the bbs and flash the boot.img into my g18, then Wifi works again. But after only about one week, I found it doesn't work again, and flashing boot can't work anymore, and I found even the Bluetooth and Radio can't be turned on also. I thought maybe it's the s-on's fault, so I download the Juopunutbear S-OFF and make the wire-trick. Now I did it, it goes s-off! But after I flashed another custom rom, I found the wifi, bluetooth and radio still not work. I'm so despaired ! May someone help me? Now I think maybe there are some thing wrong with the hardware but not the software? (Sorry for my poor English)
Basically, the GPS on my Sensation wont find any satellites. I tried OpenSensation and ARHD and the GPS doesn't work on either. I read on Google that someone flashed the appropriate RUU for them and reflashed their custom ROM and the GPS started working again. I was going to do the same but was wondering if I flash the T-Mo ICS RUU, will it lock the bootloader? If so, how would I unlock it again? Also, if anyone has any tips to fix the GPS, any help is appreciated.

RUUs are ideally last choices.
Also, I'm assuming you are HTC Dev unlocked (you need to confirm this), if yes, then did you enable smart flash in 4ext recovery before flashing or flash the boot.img manually?
Try performing a full wipe/format before installing the ROM.
If you are S Off, then try installing 3.32 base firmware
If all of the above fail, use my guide to find & flash the correct RUU: www.tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
I am unlocked through revolutionary, I don't know if that is HTC-Dev, but I doubt it. I don't know about smart flash either, what is it? I full wiped and installed 5 different OpenSensation builds and the T-Mo ARHD version with no GPS on either. I also flashed the 3.32 firmware from the official ICS T-Mo firmware. Radio's too, went from 11.69 to 11.72. I want to flash the RUU to reset all the radios, firmware and such. But I am worried the bootloader will get locked down again.
My plan is to flash the RUU, test the GPS, then restore my clockwork backup of my current ROM and go from there. Would it be easier to just flash a Gingerbread RUU?

Here's what happens after flashing the RUU:
You will lose all data (except data on SD Card)
Your bootloader will be locked, but if you're S Off, you will remain S Off (You can get back to Revolutionary bootloader by flashing 3.32 base firmware from firmware thread.)
You will lose custom recovery if custom recovery is installed (this can be re flashed if you are S Off )
You will lose root if you are rooted. (this can be re done)
I recommend you flash the normal 3.32 base firmware from the firmware thread before flashing RUU.
i used to have the same issue as yours...
i tried this fix ..it works for sensation too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12764930&postcount=1
i used method 2 to do that ..method 1 failed for me
but be careful when using dd commands..you need to be extremely careful while typing that
also the fix..messes up your splash screen ..but you can easily flash the splash screen again
I tried the wiping thing, but it didn't work, I'm going to flash the RUU. If it doesn't work, it's borked, I guess.
Nothing, I flashed a Gingerbread RUU and the ICS RUU with no change. I am going to take it to T-Mobile in a few days. Any final, shot in the dark, tips?

Yes. Open up the back cover & check if all antennae are making contact. If not, apply aluminium foil. Take a strip, fold it till it's the right size, but ensure it isn't very thick, just a little more than enough to make contact & not tear.
First of all, Hello.
I don't want to make another GPS topic, so i write it down here. The thing is that i bought a used HTC Sensation XE and everything is working great except the GPS. I have read all the sensation threads about fixing the problems with GPS and i think i tried most of them without any luck.
I installed the free GPS apps from Market (GPS Status, GPS Test and the fix named FasterFix). It just won't find any satellites and that's it.
It wont lock on nothing and it wont find nothing.
* At the beginning when i started FasterFix it showed that the conf. is set to America. I live in Europe. So that really made sense, that if i change it to Europe, then it should work because the conf. is just wrong.
I have tried all kinds of fixes (FasterFix, modifying the gps.conf file), tried the Sensation topic named AGPS patch and flashed the gps fix .zip.
Tried all kinds of gps.conf files and putting the right server names in there Europe, Estonia. Tried the wipe and format and reinstalling Locations.
I didnt want to root the phone and use custom ROM, but nothing seemes to help fixing the GPS problem, so in last option i rooted phone, did the S-OFF and all the stuff so its unlocked and tried custom ROM.s. I was fingers crossed and hoped that the ROM change will magically fix my whatever errors with GPS but nothing. I tried :
* [ROM][Sense 4.1][20.01] Team Venom presents: ViperS 1.6.3
* [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][4.1.2][09 JAN]
Yesterday after i did full wipe and tried the vision wipe fix (Method 1) + Reinstalling Locations. I went outside and started up the GPS, i used AGPS fix configuration file. So i started GPS Status and waited for ~30sec. it magically found 5 sats and after waiting couple minutes or so, it finally locked up and managed to get the right position. I was so happy and thought that i finally fixed it after tried everything in 2 days. So later on that day i went driving with my car and wanted to test the GPS in real. I fired the sucker up and NOTHING. No sats, nothing. And here i am, again searching for help.
I really like this phone and i need to get that god damn GPS working. Please any help is welcome. What else can i try?
Can it really be the GPS unit itself what is defective? Well it found sats and locked up on them yesterday, so i think something has to work but there is some error somewhere.
------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
OOh my god! I managed to FIX my problem! What a relief and of course im telling you how.
My problem was that antenna contacts didn't give a good connection between the housing. I played with the housing and watched the GPS Test software, so if the connection was OK, it automatically detected sats and if i moved the housing again, they disappeared.
I tried the aluminium foil trick and it helped but i didnt much like the idea of some loose foil inside of my phones housing. So i checked up the antenna contacts and tried to figure out what the heck was the problem, because if there was a cap between the housing and phone itself, there was a signal and as soon as i locked the housing to the phone - Baah! nothing, the signal was gone. I opened the housing and took a scalpel. Next i really carefully bended the antenna contacts, so if first they were shaped like "/\" then after the bend they looked like " L ", with that trick applied they now get a good contact with the housing and the GPS is working as it should.
I hope it will help someone, who might have the same problem. The phone is Sensation XE with beats audio.
The easy was is to first try the foil trick, if it helps then you know it's the contacts.
The GPS antenna contacts are located between the camera lens and the battery. At least these contacts worked for me, after the bend.
Hi all , I had my sensation for a long time , and suddenly i decided to unlock bootloader s-off it and do a custom rom
at first i unlocked the bootloader via htc.com method
then I kept my device s-on and flashed 4ext
i flashed revolution rom and everything was fine until one day the apps like facebook and whatsapp didnt have an internet connection through wifi
only 3G connection , although i was connected to wifi but no response
i tried to reflash the rom but then the wifi didnt work at all , kept going on again off again
i thought i should make s-off
i used jupotntbar method ( wire trick ) and s-offed my device
i tried the rom again nothing happened , all was wrong
then all of a sudden my USB didnt read at all , anytime i plug it in it is on charge only mode and doesnt appear to connect to the pc , i tried different PCs but no luck
i tried changing radio and ril , i changed the recovery , until i installed CWM recovery ( using rom manager via 3G ) and the wifi was on again and sometimes it fails but it works .... still no USB
if anyone can help me i would donate and thank him a lot
i cant go to a service center becuz i have none in my country

What happened seems quite weird, but sometimes happen. Did you try another ROM? Sometimes problems start without any apparent reason. When it happens you can either wipe your phone and start your system anew, or you can flash another ROM (again with full wipe).
As a personal preference I prefer 4EXT recovery, but if you say clockworkmod works best for you, keep it. I don't have enough understanding to know the impact of the recovery on regular usage (I know it has impact on when the phone is off).
Try another ROM, that would be my first advice. Or maybe even RUU (Since you got S-Off now, I suggest you get yourself SuperCID. There is a guide in the general forum).
Here is a list of ROMs that worked flawlessly for me (or at least without any apparent bugs):
albinoman's CM10.1 (no HTC sense, awesome ROM if you can live with AOSP)
ViperS 1.6.3 (works great)
ViperS 3.1.2 (apparently works fine, but since this ROM is fully ported (awesome work of SebastianFM) there might be the occasional glitch)
AndroidRevolutionHD - I used a (much) older version and had some issues with wifi (fixed with a newer version), but a good ROM.
And most other ROMs work fine as well, just didn't get to try them myself.
If nothing helps, after you get SuperCID, yuo can try using an RUU to restore your phone to stock. It will also flash the firmware and radio partitions, which might also fix stuff. After you get SuperCID you can use any RUU you'd like.
Good luck.

Hmmm.... That complicates things. It's allways a possiblity that this is a hardware problem, but let's try something else. If changing ROM doesn't work, maybe flashing firmware will help. Get a PG58IMG.zip file of either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware from this thread, and flash with the instructions of the thread.
Very Important! Check the md5sum of the firmware you download, as it can permanently brick your phone if it's not flashed correctly.
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I doubt if anyhing will. If you do manage to get USB connection, I suggest RUUing anyway, to get a clean install for your device.

Then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Just to be sure. Did you try another cable? What did the computer recognize (in device manager, it should show something for the device as a USB device)?
This might lead us to a new direction.

On what ROM you're currently on? Did you perform S-Off method after returning to Stock? For S-Off the prerequisite is Rooted stock ROM.
I faced this issue when I was on MIUI ROM and my PC didn't detected my device. I suggest you should flash the ViperS JB after a Superwipe. It have MTP support and it let the PC and Phone access SD card at the same time. I am sure it will detect your device after flashing ViperS JB. Also try uninstalling the HTC drivers from your PC and install the latest HTC drivers. I am not on PC otherwise I would have shared the link for latest drivers. Also try connecting your phone with original HTC Cable and USB port 2.0.
