I recently rooted my One S, installed Clockwork Recovery, and installed CyanogenMod 10.2-stable. Frankly, it's the best thing I've ever done to this phone. Everything is running great, EXCEPT for the data connection. I am on T-Mobile, and my cellular connection indicator constantly bounces around between no-H, H, H+, and 3G. It's not 'cycling', per se, meaning that it's not rotating in a consistent pattern or at a regular interval...but it's constantly changing modes and I'm always losing network connectivity when it does. It has made it virtually impossible to stream anything. I constantly receive 'network connection lost' messages. Strangely, voice conversations seem to work fine and flawlessely. Whatever the problem is, it seems to only affect data.
I'm looking for any guidance or help to point me in the right direction. Do I need to S-OFF the phone? Does that have anything to do with it? I'm somewhat suspect of the radio. Based on version numbers above...do I need to flash the radio? Anything else?
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Radio 1.13 is the latest T-MOB radio. For upgrading to a newer radio version e.g. radio 1.20 you need to set your phone S-OFF first. For setting your phone S-OFF best use rumrunner.us . For using rumrunner you'll need a stock or sense based rom and your phone must be rooted and USB debugging must be enabled. Before changing the radio version and so on, you should backup your current android version with CWM and try another custom rom to check if the mobile data problem persists or is just rom related.

Thank you! This is all great information. I agree that it is an excellent idea to try another ROM, for the sake of comparison. My understanding is that discussions on xda developers are not supposed to recommend one ROM or another. Having said that, is there another ROM that you would recommend for the sake of comparison/testing? I'm not very familiar with all of the different custom ROMs out there, and I'd like (if possible) a recommendation for a good ROM to use to test the radio.
Thanks for the reply.

I actually use Candy5 a CM12 based Lollipop rom. For me it runs stable and it probably will be suitable for testing the mobile data connection.

[Q] Here's a crazy question...

It seems I've erased absolutely everything from my HTC One S. The only thing I have on it is the latest Paranoid Android and related GAPPS.
I was having problems with it before, went to install a new rom - and it wouldn't boot. So I got into the bootloader and.... uh..... kind of did a factory reset. Yeah, so I'm stupid and admit it. Anyway, I then got into TWRP and mounted the SD card, copied the rom and gapps, flashed them and rebooted.
The rom (PA) booted and most everything works except that I think I'm missing some core files or whatever that come with the phone (as opposed to those that a rom would have.) For instance, I show no networks whatsoever on the wifi settings and I can't turn the wifi on... so maybe I'm missing the radio files? Also, the clock won't automatically come to local time, so I'm guessing that's also a radio issue - like maybe I deleted it!?!
So here's some info from About Phone:
Android 4.2.2
Baseband: 1.08ts 50 02 16_10 08e50.04L
Paranoid Android 3.60
I have no idea if the above info helps or not, or what info is needed: but does it sound like I'm missing the radio files or something, and, if so, where do I get them?
Thanks for any help, folks.
Extra info:
Maybe I do still have radio files as it's listed in the bootloader. Here's what is listed:

RADIO - 1.08ts.50.02.16

Can't do any calling or texting (signal is good and provider recognized)

Bought my Sensation recently from ebay as faulty and not working but all foults i found was a sound button's connector a tiny bit out and stuck because of bad flashing. So not a big deal. Just fixed the "big fault", updated firmware, installed 4ext and flashed with latest "Elegancia" rom. All seemed to be smooth and perfect until recently noticed that i can't do any texting or calling... A network is recognized (EE), the signal is good but when i try to call and it tries to dial the call is dropped with just no signal.. Also tried http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr as i found it on forum an there was said that if this test gives "very likely" the IMEI is not blocked... so it is not blocked as i see... And be the way... Data connection is working.

Get an app GetRil and verify that you have best RIL/Radio combinations.
If not, either change your ril or flash a new radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Here's the ril (#3642). Do a backup and use this.
The 4.0.0056HMQ_AOSP wouldn't work.

Do a backup and then full system wipe except sdcard then reflash rom and ril. See how it goes.
You now have the latest radio, so you try another rom too if it doesnt work.
Happy to help.

Well... I tried...

...
eaach of them with each of those RILs i had. No difference at all. the phone won't catch any signal if i change the RIL or just behaves the same.
still no calls, no texts... can't send nor receive.
how about correct radio version..? maybe there are some different versions of them not just picking the newest hoping that it works but picking the right version too. Have no idea what that version might or should be... am i talking to the right direction? because now it seems that hardware is kind of recognized and usable (as there is some connectivity and effort connecting to data) but it cant do any action with it...
and by the way.. how the phone behaves if it is stolen and blocked by operator?

Wifi error

So my wifi doesn't work.
Everytime I try to put it on, it switches off almost immediately . Sometimes I am not even able to switch it on at all. (the switch button becomes grey).
I got this phone from a friend of mine a year ago. The wifi wasn't working either back then (but I believe it had worked at some point in the beginning). When I got the phone it still had the stock rom. Then I flashed some custom roms, mostly CM (gingerbread, ICS). That didn't do any good for my wifi. So I downgraded my hboot and s-offed my phone. Also flashed a new radio, but that didn't help either.
I am slowly beginning to think that it's a hardware issue. But today, ever since a year, my wifi turned on and I was connected for 10 minutes! Then I rebooted my phone to see if it would work again, but unfortunately it didn't.
I read something about flashing a new kernel to fix your wifi, could that do the trick?
Also I read a lot about doing clean rom installs to fix your wifi (so wipe all partitions etc), tried that, didn't work.
Info about my phone:
Android 4.2.2
CyanogenMod 10.1 -20130808 -unofficial-saga
kernel version: 3.0.84-g0263617
radio (baseband version): 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_m
Hboot:
saga put ship s-off RL
hboot 6.98.1002
radio: 3822.10.08.04_m
I hope there are some things I have overlooked, because it would be so great if wifi could be fixed.
Thanks in advance!
flash the latest kernel by flinny, it should resolve the wifi issue,
Clean install is preferred when u change ROMS.

Just to clear things up. Do you mean the andromadus kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097379
edit:
I've flashed the andromadus kernel by kylon. Kernel version 3.0.101. Wifi still isn't working.
I can't find the kernel by flinny. Do you have a link?

RUU radio issues?

I flashed the bilal_liberty sense 5.5 ROM to my phone, and during the flash, it asked to update the radio. I said yes. i got a lot of random reboots so I decided to RUU the phone and I went back to stock. then I unlocked and rooted. Once I started using my phone I noticed that I can only connect to 2G. Any chance my radio is not right or still on the radio included in the previous rom? wifi works fine. phone hasn't crashed on me, but i can only get to 2G. If I set it to wmcda only, it will not pick up a network, previously it would, even on the old rom.
As far as I know, that radio you flashed along with Liberty Max, is a modified version of 1.20 (to make 3g work on android 4.3 and above)
Try flashing the stock 1.20 and see how it goes. Don't know where to find the file though.
Best of luck :good:

[Q] CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies

I have tried builds 20141124 and 20141127 and they seem nice and smooth
The only only problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get mobile data to work with either build.
Any Ideas please?

CM-11-20141129-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip is quite stable Nightly. However, minor issues remained such as calling microphone which, however, could be fixed by finny mic fix provided. So far, the nightly provides with the basic need for daily usage. I intend to use this nightly for a daily phone and it is my only phone anyway. Thanks to Kylon, Mustaavalkosta and Paulb_nl for their kind commitment.
I've managed to sort out the problem. The APN that I require for my network wasn't there and I had to create it manually, I did get an error on the initial boot about my SIM and I am wondering whether that has something to with the available APN's in the 11 nightlies. There were only three available APN's in 11 opposed to nine APN's listed in the 10.1 build that I was previously running. I have manually created the APN based upon the settings from 10.1 and all is well now.
