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)
Alrighty, I have a One S S4, rooted, running ViperOneS 1.2.1.
Not the first time I've run a custom on here, I've been bouncing back and forth between Viper and Cyanogen, usually without issue. Normally, I've been using CWM recovery...
My problem is that I can't get a new radio to install. I've reinstalled Viper a few times, full wipe and all, reinstalled CWM, and finally, just tried using TWRP. CWM says that it updated, but nothing changes, TWRP just gets stuck saying that it is updating, but never does (have to force a shutdown)
So...anybody else run into this problem? I can't find an answer anywhere, and I have no idea what to do next, because I want to keep Viper on here, but right now, my mobile is alright, but I get no WiFi (and the solution that I'm being told is to install a new radio (would that even fix a WiFi issue))
Please help...

It's probably the hboot you have on your phone not letting you flash the radio ? As for Wi-Fi you probably need to just flash the Wi-Fi partitions. You need to find out what hboot you're on as well as if you don't know how to check which radio you're on you should look into that. About phone software baseband and more something like that.

As far as radio, it's 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e etc
As far as hboot version....nothing has changed since the time I could reprogram my radio
I'm pretty versed with the phone, I'm asking here, because you will know more than I do...but I know my some of my phone, and I definitely know how to program...but I don't experiment as much as I want to, and I want to know how to fix my phone..
sorry, little drunk at this time, don't want to sound like an ass...
If I think that I'm missing a basic step, I'll ask =)
The hboot, as far add I've know hasn't changed, but I don't know what does. Old versions of recovery, no luck. Had programming issues, get stuck in booloops etc, make it work right...n dint know why the radio won't program out of nowhere =(
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.
I need help. I know very little about the android stuff even though I have had the phone nearly 3 years I think. I got a problem of flashing(my first experience of flashing the firmware). Let me put it in details. I have xperia SL. My friend helped flash a new custom rom (MIUI) so my phone was rooted and unlocked bootloader. because there were always problems happening( not smooth, and apps always stopped working during they were in the process) while I was using the MIUI Rom. I decided to flash it by myself to firmware I had before, but I did a lot of reading about it before I did it, but I don't think i understand all. Before it was flashed, it had the stock: LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96. I tried to look for this one. But I could find only the firmware for Xperia S. I tried, but during flashing problems happened it said something like flashing aborted, I don't know why. when I turn my phone on it displayed only reparing picture on screen...then I tried to turn it off by holding volumn up key and power button for 10 seconds and tried to flash another frimware but It is the old version: LT26ii_6.1.A.2.55_1266-9957_Singapore by xdaNomNomM. It worked this time. I looked for the firmware of LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 and I got one it is LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96_Generic. I decided to flash my phone again. Yes, flashing process till the end was fine. I didn't see any error message or something. But after flashing, I disconnect it and turned it on because I got the message to do so. It displayed the repairing image again, don't know what is wrong. I decided to flash it again using the old firmware again 4.0.4 it works and now I am stuck using the ICS, not really satified with it. Anyone can help provide the links to download the firmware LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 that work for me? and can you tell what could be the problems while I was flashing? what should I do to my phone now, keep it like that?
Thank in advance! Sorry that I write a lot for you to read and sorry to disturb you all!

Sorry dude but don't ask so long question.... No one has time to read it ....
I have a problem on my M8 that nobody seems to be able to solve. My M8 doesn't connect to 3G, only to 4G and 1x. This gets carried over from Rom to Rom. My SOD is running Viper and she connects to 3G no problem while I'm stuck with 1x.
I have posted multiple times about this but nobody seems to know whats going on.
Would going back to S-ON and Unroot possibly fix this problem? Would I need to revert my firmware.
I just don't know what to do.
I'm not the one to help you but I can say with confidence that turning s-on will only limit your options for fixing you problem.

What ROM are you currently running ?
You may have to revert back to a stock ROM and then build back up. Before that I would wipe everything but your external card in recovery, flash the firmware twice with fastboot, and then flash the ROM.
Good luck.

Have you tried using factory reset from hboot while on a stock recovery? Stock recovery resets parts used by the radio that custom recovery can't touch.
Have you also verified you have your network settings set to global and not lte only?
Whatever you do....do not turn s-on to trouble shoot this.
So I would need to unroot to use a stock recovery right?

No just flash the stock recovery just like you would a custom recovery. If you go to the android development section you should find the download for the stock recovery. Make sure to flash the correct one, such as the 4.4.4 stock recovery if your on the latest firmware or the stock recovery for 4.4.3 if your on that firmware and so on.
It never fails, every time I see somebody ask if they Should go back to S-On for any reason other than Warranty/returning phone, I cry a little on the inside..... ?

Whatever you do, Don't go S-0n. It will only make your life more complicated.
What you need to do is run Dottat's FUU to make your whole thing stock.
Then do a factory re-set with stock recovery & kernel, and voila(!) your radios will be fixed.
Then put whatever rom you want on it.
Thanks for the help.
