[Q] Sensation Falling Apart - HTC Sensation

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.

first of all i tried to wipe everything through recovery , then a cean installation , also i tried to try a different rom ( I tried AOSP , MIUI , CM , sense )
but i cant restore to stock becuz i dont have USB connection nor fastboot nor adb
the only way is through my sd card reader

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.

[Q] Desire S loosing signal

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)

Very Weird Issue with my Sensation is there a self test service mode?

Im currently in the middle of uploading a video to youtube to try and show the issue but its like my phone is possessed, i actually bought the phone from a recycle place so I have a 60 days warranty with the phone but I was wondering is there a diagnostic or service mode I can get into on the handset to see if any faults are found
One thing is I thought I was getting an Orange handset which I would have thought would have had some branding on but it didnt and it also didnt have any orange bloatware on but not sure if they do or not on Orange UK handsets? even though i've supercid would it matter if it wasnt an Orange one that I used the orange firmware for 3.32?
It seemed fine when it arrived yesterday on 2.3.4 GB rom but since changing to ICS nothing but bother
Link isnt live yet showing about 12 mins to go at 21:49 UK Time

Had this problem with Darkforest 6.0.0 and also ARHD 6.5.1 and currently virtuous s4x b3 which has been the worst of the lot and the one in the video
Ok so I flashed back 1.17 firmware and restored a back up of my GB 2.3.4 rom and its working perfectly so my guess is my phone for some reason doesnt like firmware 3.32? which means im going to be pretty much stuck on GB?
Hey, it looks like a sense 4 rom that is running in the video? All those roms are ported from another device.. I'd recommend to try stock ICS with the new firmware, see if that works any better than the ported roms
Ive tried 2 3.6 roms too and they did the same, used the newest firmware

Sorry yeah i am and thanks, just not sure which tests i should be looking at, anyway im now on virtuous_inquisition v4.0.0 but using firmware 3.24 its had one little hissy fit which seems to have gone away when i restarted, also when it starts acting usual screen of and on seems to sort it, its just odd it works perfectly in GB which makes me think its software and not hardware issues?
Just to confirm im doing everything right, was it ok to jump from firmware 1.17 on GB straight to 3.32 for ICS with 3.6?
Method im doing
flash firmware in hboot, pull battery delete the PG58IMG file, put battery back in boot into recovery, full wipe in ext4, then run the superwipe script and then install rom, everything seems to go ok until I begin having the issues as shown above in the video clip, I know that was a sense 4 rom but its done the same in 3 sense 3.6 roms now
Did you tried to flash a stock kernel? Not OC'ed? My bet if every ROM does the same, that there is an issue with the hardware.

Hi
I havent as yet, however when I first had problems on darkforest I did try with the 1.2ghz option during flash.
Any recommendations on which to try? So far it seems on on v inquisition v4
Seems to have been ok then this morning I put the phone on charge as it was about 20% remaining, left it charging went back 30mins later or so to check it and it wouldnt wake, not sure if this is a common issue or if its related to the previous problems ive been having?
Ive requested a return from the place I bought it so will see, ill have to make sure I can get it back to how it was, fortunately I have a backup, but ill have to read up on the s-on procedure aswell as getting rid of 4ext
gawd this is doing my nut in, just flashed Android Revolution 6.5.1 using the stock 1.2ghz kernal doing the same so I just have no idea now, going to put firmware 1.7 back on and do a nandroid recovery and see how that goes for the next few days, just wondering if anywhere in the rooting + S-off, unlocking or supercid somethings gone wrong that I didnt see, but afaik it all went fine
format sd card, place only the files you will need.. i.e. firmware and your choice of rom.. reboot phone, flash this firmware "Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618.. after you flash the firmware, remove the sdcard while the phone is still on, reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, put the sdcard back in, then flash whatever rom you wish to use, just make sure that it supports the firmware, after flashing the rom, remove the sdcard again and reboot phone.. once the phone is booted, turn on usb drive and remove the firmware that's on the sdcard and see how things go.. if things are still messed up, then go for an exchange as at that point, it may be hardware related...
I don't think it has anything to do with superCID or s-off as I can see that you're able to flash any rom to the device.. same with s-off...

Thanks, ill give it ago! the only bit is where yousay after flashing firmware remove sdcard whilst on, then reboot into recovery. The only option I get is to reboot no option to reboot into recovery?
anyway
flashed insertcoin 5.1.4 so will see
in order to boot into recovery after flashing the firmware, power off the phone, yank the battery and sdcard, then put the battery back in and power on with the usual power down + power button with the sdcard still out. once in recovery, you will notice that recovery counts down until the sdcard is back in so slip the sdcard back in, give it a sec, then choose the zip file you're going to flash.. flash the rom, remove sdcard and boot into rom.. slip the sdcard back in one final time.. once booted, go into the sdcard and remove the firmware so that it doesn't keep wanting to update everytime you reboot...reboot once more to make sure all is setup and see how it goes.. I'm sure there are easier ways of doing this, but this is one method I've tried and all worked fine... hope this helped..

Still the same, flashed back to 1.17 and did nandroid recovery and it works perfectly in GB oh well, the closest Ive had it working on ics was with Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.0. The problem im going to have returning the handset is that it works perfectly as it was sold to me and if I start going on about installing ics roms etc they are likely to refuse a return.
yay!!! think ive cracked it, well not me but at least I think what ive found what the problem was
Spotted this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Thought what the hell, and long story short its worked, not a single issue like before, which leaves me to believe that for whatever reason 4ext recovery wasnt working correctly when flashing firmwares on my phone as when I used it to restore my original backup it worked fine. Installed the rom above that was packaged as a PG58IMG.zip file and it worked great, might try and reinstall clockworkmod and see if that helps as I never actually used it
Fingers crossed its now sorted but so far so good, not a single issue after installing all my apps again

[Q] Don't have any network reception anymore following installation of ROM

Hi
I have the following problem with my HTC
I unlocked and rooted it and installed a ROM (Paranoid Android)
Everything worked except I didnt have any phone connection anymore
Tried to reboot, etc - didnt work
Then installed different ROMs - didnt work
Then tried to go back to stock - but RUU didnt work (even after changing my CID to 11111111)
So now I'm stuck really - spend hours on the forum and asked a few questions along the way but wanted to post again explaining all the background info
I don't see any solution as regular ROM all dont work and cant go back to stock
Any idea?
Many thanks
Cedric
FYI
HBOOT 1.14
RADIO 1.08es
Still have access to bootloader and recovery (TWRP)
try installing a CM based ROM; it will update your radio in the same time
Try to toggle airplane mode off then on, if not check if you still have imei, is so did you buy the phone from T-Mobile?

Can't get the WiFi working

Hi there,
I have a problem with my HTC Sensation XE: Can't get the WiFi working.
When i hit the switch to put it ON, it stays on OFF and gives me "Turning on WiFi..." message forever.
- It is not a Radio / RIL problem since, i've tested many ROM's with many Radio / RIL's and it still doesn't work.
- It's not a Hardware problem since, sometimes, it works after various reboots or battery unplugs.
- When i write "getprop" in the terminal i get:
[wifi.interface]: [wlan0] | but if i write ifconfig wlan0 down the answer is SI0CGIFFLAGS no such device
[wifi.softap.interface]: [wlan0]
[wifi.softapconcurrent.interface]: [wl0.1]
[wifi.supplicant_scan_interval]: [15]
[wlan.driver.status]: [unloaded]
[wlan.sim.enabled]: [1]
I really don't know how to get it working again.
[Questions]
* What does the WiFi working / not working depends by? Kernel, Firmware, Radio, RIL, ROM ecc ?
* Is there any way to fix this?
Let me know fellas!

After unsing WiFix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45909421#post45909421
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone Specs:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 7.3 ( Android 4.0.3 )
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: SebastianFM 3.0.16-v1.5.2
Baseband: 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M
it depends from kernel mostly
try a diffrent kernel and see how it goes
you can use also the wifix manager app
I've tried a lot of kernels while changing ROMs but, the problem doesn't seem to get fixed ( actually i'm on a SebastianFM kernel ), however, after the WiFix got installed and activated through *#94349#, i've restarted the phone and the WiFi worked for 2 minutes ( in fact it scanned for wireless network, recognized them and almost connected ). After 2 mins, the WiFi stopped working again and, while trying to reactivate it, I saw that now I can't even deactivate it and i get the "Turning WiFi off..." message
Even tried to change the country code in the app from US to IT ( i'm in Italy ) but nothing happens...
At least i can confirm that it is not a hardwer problem.

take out your back cover and lift up gently the pins which are responsible for the wifi
after that check your wifi
I had it too. But when I install revelation 1.0.2 rom and flash sebastian kernel it works good.

That works for you?
Hello, I have a problem which is almost similar to yours. I tested EVERYTHING, i mean everything i could find in this forum and in the internet. I knew that the Sensation has a problem with the Wi-Fi when i was buying it. (I bought it second hand - the seller told me that the problem with the wifi came after an official update to 4.0.4 Android). It was on low price so i starter looking for a solution to the problem. I found so many things and i said to myself that i will buy the phone, fix it using the forum (I really love u guys, on all my 4 Android phones i used ROM from here) and use the phone with no problem. So i bought the phone. Unlocked the bootloader, made it S-ON, installed 4ext recovery and starter trying everything to fix my problem. I will describe my problem now :
I Installed all versions of ICS, JB (4.1, 4.2 and 4.3), all the various kernels - the problem is that, when i turn the WI fi on i use the phone for 1-2-3 minutes (depends on the load and things i do on the phone) and after that it freezes and reboots. This is on everyrom ! Also while the wifi is turned on, if i want to lock the phone and turn-off the screen - the phone reboots again. I tried to use it without SIM card, tried WiFix Manager on all the ROMs and it didn't help. On ICS ROM WiFix manager helped me to get rid of that "Turning WI-fi on....." message and turns the wi-fi on, but the problem with the reboots persists. I asked the developers of the ROM, wrote in the SebastianKernel thread about that (they just didn't wanted to help me after i told them that flashing boot.img and WiFix doesn't work , I am with 4ext recovery with enabled "smart flash" - no problem with the boot.img) Now i am with MIUI ROM + Sebastian r31 with aroma installer kernel- also having the problem. Can anyone help ?
P.S : I took the phone to a service ( to exclude a hardware problem) and they confirmed that the phone has no hardware issue, the problem comes from the software. I attached a last_kmsg file from such kind of a reboot when the wi-fi is on and i try to turn off the screen.
P.S 2 : I Just installed GetRIL apps to get my RIL and the app says "Unknown RIL Found" ot shows my md5sum and the baseband but the RIL is not found ? What does this mean ?
actually try to return the device to stock by using a ruu.exe

This process will start a long journey of going back S-OFF, installing recovery, Unlocking bootloader etc. and will consume a decent amount of time which i am not sure i have. Are u sure that going back to the far past RUU at any point will solve my problem ?

I don't think this will solve ur problem as I also had the same problem if WiFi and BT for 1 year and I was not able to solve it (story is long) I the tried every thing ruu etc nothing worked , but when I disassembled and reassembled my phone from local market it started to work and I was like o.0 only that fixed my fix problem and its working till now

actually if you are on S-OFF you will remain on S-OFF after ruu installation
so need for S-OFF again nor unlocking bootloader again
if you are on S-ON just use the unlock.code bin after ruu installation to unlock the bootloader
no need for extra steps

Wifi and bluetooth not turning on

Hey guys,
My HTC One 4.4.2 Kitkat Wifi, Bluetooth and FM radio no longer work and will not turn on and stay in "turning on" mode.
I woke up one morning without any changes and my phone just could no longer use Wifi. I did a complete wipe of everything OS etc and flashed a new rom Android Revolution HD and wifi still will not turn on. I cleared the catche etc when doing this and flashed the boot.img
Since my phone is rooted it's warranty will most likely be void so fingers crossed it's something i can fix. Just seems weird how it stopped working out of the blue like this.
I have searched but most people with this problem seem to have it once flashing a new rom.

You should flash your phone back to full stock e.g. by running a RUU. Whats your HTC One model (m7/m8 free/carrier branded) ???
Thanks

Seems as there is no matching RUU. But i have found a stock rom backup. Its flashable via CWM. --> LINK
Yea
Been struggling trying to find a stock RUU also. Will that RUU work using TWRP as i thought to flash a RUU you only had to enter into fastboot mode,

Do you need the backup for twrp? I think its easiest to flash CWM and use the file from my link. I haven't found a twrp backup.

Nope, can do that without much trouble though as i have found a tutorial on how to do so.
I have cwm installed instead of twrp now. Didn't realize how easy it was to flick back and forth between the 2 lol.

i think which rom you have flashed that doesn't support on your phone. you can try to flashed other rom of your divice.
