Sorry if this seems noobish but I've read all the other threads I could find & I still haven't found a fix for my phone. I'm using a T-mobile HTC sensation 4G on a GSM network outside of america. the phone is fully unlocked & compatible with the 4G bands here but I'm still only able to browse on 2G networks. The APN settings in my phone are correct & work with other phones I've tried to connect to 4G. When I received the phone it was rooted with ICS 4.03 on it. I recently updated it to CM 10.2 AOSP 4.3 Jellybean in hopes that a fix for the problem would be included in the ROM but with no luck. Does anyone know how I could resolve this problem?

Can you shed a bit more info on what you mean. I suspect you see your phone in phone identity as either a z710e or z710a, is that correct?
Whenever I try to flash both roms during the flash via CWR the installer says "sensation detected no sensation 4g files installed." Then when it boots up I go to check the phones ID and sure enough it's z710e.

ok, What version of CWR are you using. It should be the blue 4.0.1.4.
Are you also doing a full wipe before flashing?
Will try and work with you on this.
From my understanding the Z710e is the 4G model.
Using the CWR 4014 blue version. And yes doing complete and full wipe each time...I just reinstalled Coredroid and now the phone ID is showing sensation 4g but the build.prop file isn't showing the 4g files. I'm so lost. :/
That's because both of those Roms use European WWE Roms as a base, if you want your phone is to be identified as the sensation 4g on those Roms you have to edit your build prop, or flash a tmobile base custom ROM.....

If I use the coredroid rom will my phone still detect 4g and use the 4g network here in Kansas City?

Yes, all the roms here will work with Tmobile 4g speeds.
But remember some roms will have a H instead of 4g symbol in the status bar but you are still getting 4g speeds, but most roms have an addon zip to change it to a 4g icon.
So basically the phone is still 4g capable and uses 4g just doesn't show it under the build.prop files? Now another question is this, the files that are suppose to be for the 4g model from that rom...how do I get those installed? The installer isn't id my phone as 4g so it's not installing the 4g files.

Simple answer is you cant. The 3g and 4g bands are hardware dependent. An att phone will not be able to connect to a T-Mobile 3g/4g network. A search would have showed you this.
Hi, I am currently having this weird issue of having no mobile network at all, at first I thought it was a faulty sim card but when I changed from o2 sim card to a orange one still no signal, I then tried a virgin mobile sim card but with the same issue. I am clueless on what my next step would be in fixing this issue. My phone is S-OFF running ViperS 1.2.1 running firmware 3.33. I tried flashing a different RIL which matched my firmware again but same issue still persists.
Any help on what to do next will be greatly appreciated
Try changing radio and ril. I had the exact same issue once after flashing a recommended radio . I fixed my issue by flashing. Generic ics radio and ril .best wishes

Make sure your APN settings are correct. It's possible that the APN's got deleted somehow. If so, that will kill mobile data.
Alos, make sure there is only 1 APN to choose from. (Just make sure it's the correct one). If you have multiple to choose from the SIM card can go haywire trying to figure out which one to connect through, even if you clearly have selected 1.
Would you mind giving me a download link to the generic ICS radio and ril files?

do this ... on dialer *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and check the "preferred network type"
it will be normally in WCDMA preferred ..change it to GSM only or any other (one by one) and check the mobile network
also check the IMEI (verify it )..some times IMEI mismatches happen for some people

Thanks for your input, I tried changing it to GSM only but it automatically goes to WCDMA preferred not letting me choose any other options. I also checked to verify the IMEI number was the same as on the phone and it was correct. Confused why I'm experiencing this issue all of a sudden

Just reflashed the 3.33 firmware but same issue persists, no mobile signal :crying:
Very strange. Have you tried the different radios ril with no luck? Does it act like this with different roms also? Have you tried? Hope you get this resolved soon ! When my network went out a new radio and ril did the trick....wishing you the best. Hopefully you can get this resolved soon!

Issue is being resolved by my network provider, the incompetent staff blacklisted my phone as lost by accident meaning I won't get any signal no matter what sim card I insert.
Thanks for the help anyway guys
Hey Guys,
I purchased a new One S from T-Mobile and they sent me a phone that can't connect to 4g. I know that the problem is the phone, I attempted to get a replacement phone and they shipped it but gave me an excuse saying something about fraud and sent my phone back to the warehouse before I could even get it. But yet T-Mobile doesn't mind taking my $$$
So enough of that I called HTC and they want to take a look but I'll be 7-10 days with no phone. Any solution for this problem? My phone is stock and for some odd reason won't connect to anything but 2G I checked the APN settings and dabbled with that but to no avail I even factory reset and tried other sim cards no luck.
Any advice? I think I'll end up ending it to HTC but I'm trying to fix this on my own and a last resort send it to HTC for repair.
Settings --> Mobile Network --> Network mode. Make sure it's on WCDMA preferred or GSM/WCDMA Auto.

Yeah, that doesn't work. It's an issue with the 4.0.4 update. T-Mobile has been dragging their ass on a fix for it, I'm getting my 3rd replacement for the phone I've had less than 30 days at some point this week.
There's an official thread going on T-Mobile's support site...I'd post a link but it won't let me.
My One S has the same problem. Not rooted yet. I wonder If I root it if it will fix the issue. Anyone tried that?
If you run the 2.35 ruu it'll probably fix the issue you guys are having. Pretty sure.

If the 2.35 ruu does not work is there a 1.85 ruu which we all know it works fine? Sorry, it is just very frustrating.

If you're on 4.0.4 I'm pretty sure only the 2.35 ruu will restore your phone. And I think you'll have no more issues your having. I was having issues with data and wifi when I updated via ota. Ran the ruu and haven't had any problems since.

I will give it a try. Hopefully it works. I will be rooting it too. Do u suggest to flash the ruu, see if everything works fine and then root or just root and try it later?

Yep same thing here. I am on T-Mobile but no 4g. More or less happened when I upgraded to the new Hboot 2.15. I have since downgraded with a RUU file. And installed newest venom Rom. But I can't connect faster than EDGE. I have read on the T-Mobile forums that people had this problem when upgrading to jellybean. It is a known problem, butan I wish there was a fix. It sucks.
So ?

Maybe I am missing something but the fix for "stuck on Edge" and not getting 4G is not there at the link you posted above.
to the OP of this thread - yes, this seems to be a known problem. I too lost my 4G when I upgraded from Stock (on my TMO HTC ONE S) to custom roms (4.1.2) - no matter what I did, I was never able to get 4g working. .. wish there was a fix for this but there isn't.....
Now.. I know that a different radio (not the one on my phone) gives you 4G - the trick is to find a flash for this particular radio and also (someone corrects me if i am wrong) but you gotta be S-OFF if you want to flash radio - I am not S-OFF so even if I find this radio (version : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22) I won't be able to flash it... sucks...
Anyone knows / can post a link to where we can get this radio : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22 ...
