HTC Magic Port Radio Issues (SOLVED)

(solution at the bottom of this post)
Hey, ive searched for a little while now and i havnt found a solution, so if i missed it im sorry just point me in the rigth direction. In the mean time, here is my issue:
Its the same issue with:
4.5
4.9
5.0
(these are the only onces ive used)
all downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
now ive wiped before flashing each update, and even wiped after the update, ive even gone back to rc29 and then trying again
when i get the phone to finish booting up, my radio gives me issues, it will show full bars, then none, then full, then none, never showing edge, so i go into wireless settings and realize that every 20 seconds or so, airplain mode is coming on for a half a second then going back off, without me clicking it, but when it does this, it never shows the airplane icon where it does if i click it myself in the top status bar
now if i manage to dial out a call at the right time, it will keep the full bars, and dial out properly, i can have a half hour phone call or longer without a problem, when i hang up, i have full bars AND edge for atleast a hour or so, and then i drop edge all of the suddon and go back into the airplane loop, inwhich a simple phone call (even to voicemail) fixes it temporarily
this issue happens as soon as i reboot the phone as well, as it starts up, it shows no connection, then emergency calls only, then tmobile, and repeats
when under mobile settings when trying to select a network manually if im lucky for it to show tmobile and at&t, 90% of the time it tells me it cant connect to tmobile due to my sim. if i keep clicking it it will say registering to network, but it will stay in the loop with the airplane mode flickering on and off
again, if this is something stupid im missing, or if its been explained elsewhere, my bad just point me in the right direction, but either im not searching for the right thing or ive just completely missed it, either way, someone help me before i have to go back to JF 1.42, im really enjoying this magic port
Ok, so thanks to the suggestion to "update the radio" and Google for pointing me in the right direction. I did as follows, and so far, so good.
Download this file to SD card
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip
Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23
Rename it update.zip
Reboot Phone in Recovery
(I wiped, this may not be needed, but I did anyway)
Alt + S to install the update
the phone will ask you to do the home + back to reboot, press it and it will do a few other things, including reboot into a screen with a arror pointing at a microchip, then it will reboot back into recovery
hit the home + back yet again to perform another reboot and it will boot up normally and so far, ive yet to have an issue with my radio after this

wootroot-
THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE!!!!
This problem has been plaguing me as well with all of these new builds!!!
Ultimately I ended up going back to JF 1.42 MOD because I needed a working phone.
I flashed to 5.0G tonight... and its doing the same thing... radio on then radio off. I tried flashing to the new Sapphire radio... nothing works.
I would love for someone to come up with a working solution.
Thanks!

i feel the same way, i thought it was just me
there has to be something im missing, so many other people use these builds without issues like this, there is no way someone could put up with this issue and use the phone as a daily phone reliably
if you want to have 5.0 (well i flashed H not G but im sure it would work regardless) time a phone call to your voicemail when your radio flashes on and when it vibrates saying the call connected, hangup, and everything will be fine for a few hours
do me a favor though, read over the stuff i just added to my first post, see if your phone is doing anything different than mine, that way when someone who comes in here and is able to help, they know exactly what our phones are doing, and hopefully its not just us with this issue and it will get others in the trend of explaining in detail what is wrong with theres, maybe this will help speed up getting a solution lol (wishful thinking?)

I am redoing things once again.... reflash, etc.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
But it's late and I am tired and annoyed.
If it happens again... I will try to make a video of whats happening so others can actually see it.

I thought I was going crazy I'm on 5.0G now the new one which adds busybox but I've been having the same exact problem as the OP but I haven't tried the Sapphire Radio yet but we all seem to experience different issues anyway.

no fun, sorry your having issues too, you say we are having different issues, could that be because we are using the HTC code and your using the GOOGLE code? or did i misunderstand you?
can you explain a little more about the sapphire radio vs other radios? ive been trying to understand what the difference is, and how to switch between them, but so far im unable to find a clear answer, so can you tell me the difference and how to switch between them?
thanks for your help
EDIT:
oh and what do you use busybox on the g1 for? i just read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox) and i have a general idea of what it is now, but whats the use of it on the g1? do you use it as kind of a DOS for the g1? is it more for developers than end users?

This problem has happened to me but seems as all I needed to do was to reupdate the radio. It worked for me!

try reflashing the rom, then do the radio update

Hi all, I've just rooted my phone (Australian release on Optus) and i was wondering if the radio update has regional limitations or not? Because i've heard positive things about it but I don't want to screw my phone up.

Repair using PC companion. Maybe a software glitch.

nope still no go didnt work
this never happened with 1.6, theres lot of reports of this happening with 2.1 though

Remove the battery, remove the sim card and clean contacts, remove memory card and clean contacts, wait 5 minutes and put everything back together.
If nothing works, just use your warranty.

I use to get this once awhile..... not so often with the new aosp firmware (mainly cause I haven't been using it the same way I use to.....) but I use to get what you got too. Never able to fix it.

what firmware are you using now? have you got link please?

Same FW everyone is running on. The AOSP 2.1 ROM 007a. Check in the development section

i dont think i have warranty, because i removed the touch module to put a white cover on ect.
now its getting stuck on the sony ericsson and rebooting again
and yes it was doing this crap before i changed housings

i installed rogers 1.6 ( even though im in AUS lol ) and its working fine now.
i wonder if it would be the same on rogers 2.1

Rogers doesn't mess much with the FW so worth a try to update to 2.1.

just tryed, same crap it crashes sometimes on boot and sometimes after 5 mins of use
will just switch off or reboot

i installed that ROM you got using recovery manager
its not where nere as bad as it was before, it only happens about 5 mins into a phone call, i can actually charge my phone, play game ect and it doesnt reboot

[Q] i9500 randomly reboots, wifi doesn't work and other problems

Hi, I bought my GS4 i9500 around 2 months ago, and few days ago while I was listening to music, someone called me and I noticed that the phone was a bit hot. I'm not exactly sure that that was the source of this problem.
Anyway, when I put the phone down, it didn't work, and after a few seconds it rebooted.
Ever since it rebooted it keeps doing problems - it reboots once in a while, the wi-fi doesn't work, and the touch is delayed sometimes (it doesn't respond for a while, and after a few seconds it suddenly responds to all the gestures I did over the last few seconds.).
I tried factory resting it, change frimware, clear cache and everything, and still nothing worked. It still does these problems.
I took it to the store where I bought it and they flashed it, and still it didn't solve it.
The problem is I rooted the phone, and I'm afraid the warranty won't be accepted if I send them the device.
Anyone knows what the problem might be?
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks.

It worked for me to go fully back to stock. Maybe give that a shot,

Noop, sorry man. when i did go fully back to stock it went off... i think its a warranty problem here.

well, i'm currently dealing with the problem too, it automatically boots itself, my reception goes off, eventough im not in a dead spot. but: it only happens if im on ~20% battery. i think its a softwaresided problem. im running on the normal stock touchwiz with android 4.2.2.
im gonna send it to the operator, maybe it really is a warranty-sided problem.

Sent to operator, unfortunately the warranty has been expired (probably because I rooted), and they want ~450$ to repair it..
Hopefully ill find some solution.

Phone feezes/crashes after unlocking the device

hey,
i got a problem everytime i unlock my device, after about 5 second it freezes...
sometimes it freezes for about 20 sec and sometimes it freezes untill i reset my phone...
there are also sometimes its not freezing at all...
i think the problem comes from wifi or bluetooth cause everytime i unlock my phone they both get restarted .. even though they both are off
also my bluetooth isnt working at all..like, when i try to turn it on it shows that its turning on but after about 10 sec it goes back off...
anyone know how to fix this problem ?
i tried full wipes and changing roms.. both didnt work
thanks in advance

anyone?

please help?

Well it can be software or hardware related. It can even be your battery. Hard to tell.
Did you try custom roms?

You mean that the battery runs empty quickly? Then yes thats a possibility.

WiFi doesnt turn on

Wifi doesn't turn on....clicking the quicksettings shortcut doesn't do anything
Manually turning on wifi also doesn't seems to work
But hotspot is working fine.
The problem began yesterday all of a sudden .
Dirty flashing ROM doesn't do anything
Any solutions?????? Pls do reply

Try different rom and see

I think the issue is hardware related
I've Google's and found out that it can be a hardware problem
I've tried almost all ways I've found in different sites to solve the issue but doesn't work.
Too much heat might've caused this issue
Using x thermal fast charge mode and heavy usage of phone should've caused serious damage I think.
If u guys r using X thermal mod and fast charge mode then I suggest u better not use ur phone while charging...because this pushes cpu temperature way beyond
