Hi all,
Last night, thanks to jianC, I was able to put Cyanogenmod 7 on my old HTC Merge. I was thrilled, until I realized I had no "phone" icon on my screen, and no 3g service. WiFi works, as do all the apps I tried. But I can't actually make or receive calls. My phone is a Verizon, and is perm-rooted and s-off. The radio version is 1.06.00.0910. I suspect this is my problem, but haven't been able to find anything on the internet to help me upgrade the radio. I've reverted to 2fast4u's xfusion rom so I can use my phone again, but I'd really like to get cm7 working. Can anyone help?
Here's the rest of my info in case it helps (new to this so most of this means nothing to me.)

how can i bypass the activation screen? can i do a soft root? help me friends. i know its possible. btw i dont wanna use a goldcard because i dont have a sd port on my laptop.
i find it utterly surprising that NOBODy knows how to do this. surely someone knows a trick.
Yesterday I finally received my Inspire. When I bought it it was reported to be unlocked, but I found out it was also rooted and radio S-OFF.
As my carrier recently released a new 4G GSM network alog with their veteran 3G CDMA network, I went migrate my account to a SIM card with my line and put it in the phone. Everything worked fine, HSDPA speeds OK, HSUPA slow (no fix yet on the phone).
Then I decided to install LeeDroid on it, the ROM is awesome, but somehow it wouldn't connect to the carrier anymore (that means, no voice, no data, some eventual GPRS connections). I restored my nand backup but it was still the same.
In the evening, I decided to flash another radio (12.54.60.2SU_26.09.04.11_M2) instead of the AT&T stock version. For this to be a fast process I had to ENG S-OFF (didn't want to mess with other methods).
Immediately the phone found strong, stable signal. I reinstalled LeeDroid and now it works as a charm, HSUPA is even faster than HSDPA (probably due to network traffic) and I'm very pleased.
My big question is: I have had many Android phones (and many Windows Mobile HTC) and I never have seen a ROM messing up with the radio, I don't even believe it's possible. So, what happened?
My only explanation is that the Ebay seller I bought the phone from messed up with something and managed to get the phone working and then sold it before it failed again.
Any thoughts about this?
What you've been through isn't normal, so something must have been messed up with your phone. You never know what a phone off of eBay has been through. Maybe it hadn't been rooted properly or something else was done incorrectly. Normally, any custom Inspire ROM works with any version of Inspire/DesireHD radio. Some radio versions work better than others, but I've never seen an instance of what happened to you with your first LeeDroid install where the data/voice connection was totally dead. What version of radio did your phone come with? It should of been either 26.06.06.30 or 26.06.04.06 - if it came with anything else then the radio had been messed with.
The good news is now that everything is working, you should be free to flash whatever ROM you want with no worry of that weird connection problem happening again. Flashing ROMs on the Inspire (except for the RUU's) doesn't mess with the radio at all, it is a separate deal. But if you continue having weird problems, I suggest flashing the rooted stock RUU from this thread and starting fresh from there.
OK, thank you.
It came with 26.06.06.30, and it's really weird, I have never had this kind of issues.
I'm really not new to android (have had a few CDMA Android phones) and now I'm switching to GSM, but I was really confident that apart from the unbranding process both phones should behave really similar.
Will see how it evolves, for now I'm really enjoying 4G speeds.
Yep, you should be fine. HenryBravo is giving good info. Some radio\ROM combinations work better than others. Depends on the ROM. That's why some chefs have a recomended radio and others do not. Good luck with your new phone.
Hey guys,
I've been having issues with getting my Sensation XE working with Virgin Mobile, coming over from Wind. At the time I was running DarkSense 1.3.2, S-Off'd, rooted, whole nines and never had any problems with Wind. Then I registered a Virgin Mobile SIM, slapped it in the phone and haven't had any luck; I could see the "VIRGIN" network, but got a "SIM will not allow a connection to this network" error (even though the SIM is registered with Virgin Mobile, account and all. Flashing Bell radios, factory resets, nothing seems to work at all. At this point I've put KANG - 4.2.2 on the phone and any JB build is giving me an "Error while searching for networks" notice when I go to manually select a network.
HBOOT - 1.29.0000
RADIO - 11.24A.3504.31_M
Firmware - Sure it's 3.33.xxx (updated it in the custom ROM process)
Can somebody recommend a configuration that'll work for Virgin Mobile? I've been struggling with this for the past day or so and won't have a working number until I sort this out. I know it's not a hardware/frequency issue, being a Z715e, but I'm sure there's some kernel/radio issue at hand that's choking the phone.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I've been using my Sensation for nearly 2 years with no issue: tried different rom and then stick to HyperNonSense (with faux's kernel).
I used this phone on 2 diff operator in France: Free Mobile and then Orange (Business Service): I had no issue at all.
Then I switch to a GNex (2nd hand). Hence I gave my Sensation to a friend of mine. Ever since, this friend got some signal issue: call drop, no bars whereas I was having 3-4 bars sitting next to him. I tried putting back my sym card: same issue.
So I took back the device I tried different things like
- clean flash & diff roms, latest radio with no success...
- I also tried to used the back cover from my sister Sensation (which works fine): same issue. I though the problem might come from bad contacts between the phone and the back cover.
I have no explanation for this issue .
Any idea ?
Current config is:

@ home,
putting my GNex right besides me, signal looks like:
- Galaxy Nexus : -81dBm 16 asu
putting my Sensation at the same place with the same sim card, signal looks like:
- HTC Sensation : -101dBm 6 asu
Do not hesitate to tell me if more information is needed.

Are you rooted? What are your bootloader details? did something happen to cause your touch going crazy or did it just happen randomly one day?
Did you run the RUU for your carrier? Have you tested to see if the wifi is weak when connected to different wireless networks or just one?

Hmm well, if an RUU did not fix it and you are experiencing this with all networks, I would be inclined to think it's a hardware issue.

Can you give more detail or specifics, and quantify this at all? "Very weak" doesn't really tell us anything.
For example: you can't get WiFi unless you are standing right next to the router, when you could get a signal 50' away before.
For me, this situation seems like someone has used the AT&T RUU for a non AT&T phone.

I thought it might be the case too but he said it was an AT&T phone. Not gonna go all Dr House and search his home for clues
