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!

Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23

http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip

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.

Best hero rom for magic?

Hi guys
i have an htc magic 32A... whats the best Hero rom out right now? Please help me out...im new to this
thanks!

Try them out and make your considerations... there are too many fans of a ROM or of another to just tell "THAT ONE!"
Actually the more developed are:
JACxHEROski maintained by Lionheart (yeah sorry for the numers ) (I think it won't be supported for long)
Haykuro's 1.79.482.3 Hero by Drizzy allways maintained by Lionheart (the one I'm using)
MyHero
AFAIK they're all fast enough, specially with Amon_RA/GBO kernels. Bluetooth and leds not working properly (no headset / wrong leds management)

On myhero v1.0.0 leds and BT (Only music tested) are working!

well I think that BT (music) is working everywhere...

I thought the opposite, a couple of weeks I was reading this issue everywhere..
That's good.. maybe is time to test new ROM's

When people say the leds aren't working, I think they mean the orange led doesn't come on when the phone is charging, the green one works for fully charged, sms etc. I think the blue one works while downloading but i'm not too sure...

I installed Haykuro's 1.79.482.3 Hero
It seems to work very well...there are so many new terms I see tho on the site like HBOOT and SPL... whats the optimal combination of hacks/tweaks for a magic to run a hero rom?
I am on rogers and have the 32A device

upgraded from fatal1ty1.4 to myhero0.1.1 which is based in fatal1ty and it is recommended as i'm using a rogers' magic on att/usa and my current hacks are flashing an engineered spl and a custom splash1 as well as changing battery cover with a htc oem one so the device is completely un-branded:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
APR 20 2009, 15:30:43
the led/trackball notification bug exists and may lead me to try myhero1.0.1. the bluetooth bug i can live with until htc releases sophie for sapphire.

I vote for MyHero 0.1.1, and im on a Roger's Magic with at&t!

No Sound incoming/outgoing calls and Multimedia

The sound in my magic is not working on any ROM 2.1 that I install if I go back to 1.6 or 1.5 it does work. The notifications, alarms, etc.. work perfect but when it comes to receiving or making a call the sound doesn't work unless I turn on the speakerphone, the same thing happens with multmedia music if i play I song cant hear it unless I plug earphones.
Does this happens to anyone else? and/or know how to fix it?
Thankss!

you'll see my post as well.. i have the same problem..
Rooted fender mytouch, i haven't tried to go down to 1.6 or 1.5 ... im not sure what happened or why it happened? sorry i don't have a solution, i thought i would let you know that you're not alone.

Thanks for the reply, when I go down to 1.6 or 1.5 sound comes back so that's a kind of a solution but I really want it to work on 2.1 and not be stuck on 1.6 forever.
Let me know if you find a work arround.

I am having the same problem when running any version of CM 5.0.7. I have not tried any other ROMs.
Just another person letting you know that you are not alone.

It happens to me when running any CM from the first one that used 2.1 I also tried another non CM 2.1 ROM and had the same problem so it has to be 2.1 issue for us somehow. Hope we can find a fix for this soon.

sounds like I am in the same boat, but not even sure what to load or what to do to get sound back.
Speaker is the only thing that works, nothing else for me.

what SPL ya'll on?

Just to throw in my two cents to the mix, I was running CM 5.0.7 when my mytouch went down a couple of days ago, I went down into CM 4.2.15 thinking I was the new recovery I just flashed RA-1.7-cyan, but the sound worked, so I went back into CM 5.0.7 and havent had a problem with it after doing a clean install.
My SPL is 1.33.0004

[Q] Radio ROM or microphone problem??

Hello,
My friends complain about my call quality. They tell me that my voice repetitively gets extremely silent, so inaudible they often ask back so I need to repeat myself multiple times which is weird and aggravating at some point.
I have an EU HD2 with radio 2.15.50.14 and Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 NAND + data2sd. I had this problem back while I was still using wm65 Energy ROMs or my own custom built wm65 ROM, so I'm 99% sure it's unrelated to the operating system.
BTW I'm on T-Mobile Hungary. Gonna try my phone with Vodafone too, just to narrow things down.
Oh, and no, I'm NOT covering the microphone with my hand. I always hold my phone in my right hand when calling.
Anyone else had a problem like this?
Thanks,
Jay

Bumpity bump?

If you had the issue with the Energy ROM and your current ROM plus you have the most current radio version installed it my just be a issue of bad service in your area. You could try down grading your radio starting with the radio under the one you have and systematicly work your way down from there with the radio versions to see if you can find one that works better in your area. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to get the radios.

Thanks for the tip! Will try that.

I have exactly the same issue on my HD2.
Radio 2.07.50.27_2
Energy ROM: Energy.Leo.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.27
I think for me this is a hardware problem, but it occurs very randomly and usually sound is ok again after some seconds.
JayMore, did you find a solution?
I have had this problem for quite a while also on older Energy ROM (same radio), but I never called very much. Now it is getting worse or I make too much long calls and I'm ready to RMA.

Try using a different microSD card, since I've switched, nobody mentioned this problem. Sounds stupid enough to actually do the trick...

Help!!!
My HTC HD2 is giving me problems....everytime I receive a call the caller gets a echo of his/her voice.....is there anything I can do to fix that????

Same problem here.
Usually when people phone me. If I phone back it seems OK.
Gonna try and rollback to an earlier radio to see if that works.

Mytough 4g with weired problem

I have used plently of mytouch 4g, and have rooted many, but last one I had, it was stock, I rooted via sh root.sh with visionary, put the panache 1.3 rom from team royal, then I upgraded the radio to latest ginberbread, and problem started, when i dial the number, the ring is super fast, not like normal, and voice gets cuts off, and hardly i ca understand other party, and than after 30 seconds of battle, phone gets dc/ or i have to dc because i cant continue the conversion. than I change the all the 4 radios avaliable, changed the roms....
but same problem
I though when I bought this phone from cl, someone gave me the bad phone at first, so i sold it.
bought a different one from cl, and did the same thing. again the same problem happens, so I dont know how to fix that,
i need some input,
now I know it is not the phone, but something else is wrong.
and If I need to go stock 100% with radion and everything, please kindly point me to right thread to restore back to its factory settings.
Thanks
