Do I have a corrupt radio or bad flash?

I have been running a version of pays build since last feb.
lately a few things stated to get buggy, alarms, notifications and internet connection stability.
It would attempt to connect id see the 3G turn to an H for a few sec and it would go away and never show up again until I did a reset.
I dealt with everything until the internet connection became too unstable.
At 1st I just needed to rest the phone once in a while, to a few times, and then the last draw was when it took over 15 resets to get it to connect to internet.
I have reflashed my phone and the internet connection seems to be doing the same thing again.
So this has me thinking it’s physically a bad radio or the software for the radio is corrupt. Since flashing the phone to most new roms does not change the radio.
My phone is a herm200
The radio I have been using for ever that worked for me is 1.48.00.10
my phone is running PDACornerPro.V27
I have the proxy disabled

Do you flash a stock rom 1st then the other roms, especially BS roms as this may help the unstable issues.
I would suggest doing some research on what radio rom works well in your area as you may need to upgrade BUT I wouldn't start flashing radios to test as they are the cause of most permanent bricks if things go wrong. If you do need to flash a new radio I'd suggest the sd card method, I'm assuming you have Hard SPL V7 installed, and make sure you use a 2Gb or less card formatted FAT32.
I would also suggest doing a check for bad blocks before flashing the radio as it may be that too.
Radio rom flashing is REALLY the last thing you do....
Hope this helps,
Cheers...

so i should flash the official HTC rom or a lite rom with nothing added and then the cooked rom?
bad blocks? how do check for those.
thanks

Do a search for bad blocks 1st, connect to mtty and type in info 8. if you have bad blocks type task 2a.
There may be "bad blocks" as the carrier sometimes brand the phones. These can't be fixed.
Find a Stock rom, most people use AT&T, either find the version that has had the radio removed or remove it yourself with a little surgery using a program called ROM Koch. It allows you to break the ROM into .nb files eg. os.nb, radio.nb...
This means you can then put the ROM back the way you like... I'd suggest to put back everything but the radio and keep the cooked "stock" rom. It is still a stock rom but you don't have the inconvenience, or potential bricking, of your Hermes to worry about. Then install the Rom of your choice...
Don't use a lite rom as they have been cooked and altered.
Cheers...

so far no luck.
i still get spotty connections. if it connects i am good for a while if not i have to reset the phone and hope for the best. it could take many resets.
1st i flashed this
official_AT&T_WM6_striped
then i flashed this
V15_M2D_Plain_3G
I updated the radio
from
HERM_Radinly_1.48.00.10
to
HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11
I uese this to configure my wap settings
cingular_wap.wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
I even swaped my girlfriends sim with my sim to see if it was an accout
or sim problem.
the problem still stays with my phone.
Now i am thinking this could be a hardware problem.
can a 3rd party battery cause odd side effects like this.

Thank you for your help ultramag69.
Alot of your tips helped me get a stable rom flashed to my cell.
I the end i think the cab file i used to configure my att internet setting caused the network problems.
I now manualy configured it and have had a perfect run so far.
i also reflashed every thing starting with a att rom.
I looked at the media net and mms setting and used those after i flashed
V15_M2D_Plain_3G.
setting on the att rom
TCP/IP and Servers
select-> Use server-assigned IP address
setting used on config cab. I think using the ip address caused me the problems.
server ip
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Update phone is acting twitchy again with its internet connection.
Everything is the same as above.
The phone worked great this weekend and now it has yet to keep a stable internet connection.
Now I am really thinking it hardware problem.
Something gets loose or loses tolerance maybe heat or some thing like that causes the module that controls the network connection to fail.
Anyone have any guesses or tests?
Maybe att is messing with my device...

[Q] Help!! No service!

Hello,
First of all,
- I'm on Imilka's GB vivo (ported from mdj vivo for des hd)
- I'm using radio 2.15.50.14
- I live in the netherlands
- My network provider is KPN Hi (no data plan, only using Wi-Fi)
Yes, I've searched for this problem already, found 2 different threads, both with (more or less) the same problem, both without solution, so I thought "let's try this again"
two days ago, I took my phone and started to play some games, listen to music etc. just like I do normally, but then I got a pop-up saying "no service". I tried to connect to my network in settings, but then it said my sim-card didn't allow my to connect to KPN. I tried different roms (all android nand) and radios, but without succes. Yesterday I tried putting winmo on it again, then it worked. SD android also worked for some reason. Well I really want Android, and I really love those sense 3.0 parts like lockscreen and rosie, and I definitely want gingerbread sense, but there aren't any of those SD builds.
Do I really have to go back to winmo with a SD build?
Thanks in advance!

You can try this:
go to Dialer and press: *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to Phone infomation, select: WCDMA preferred
press Refresh than Update and Toggle DNS check (0.0.0.0 allowed)
reboot

Doesn't work either

Do you have a rom that did work? if so you can try this:
Extract the libhtc_ril.so and the libril.so and replace the ones that you have in the rom and then try again. I would replace it by pushing it into the rom and then reboot, you might need to fix permissions if it doesnt work the first time. Thats what controls the communication between the radio and the cell towers.

Hmm I don't think this will work...
first because I haven't found a working nand so far (only sd) and second because I'm a NAND Android user since it came out, but this is the first time with this problem...
And I've done fix permissions already about 20-30 times =C
I tried putting the SIM card into my sisters phone too, she had full service. The weird part is that I also put my mothers SIM card in my phone earlier, and I had full service, WEIRD. So I thought at first it was my provider's problem, because Vodafone works perfectly good, but then my sister came with her full service...
Still thanks for reply. I hope someone comes with working solution soon...

anyone?
I really need a solution... stuck with wm now. maybe going to wp7

task 29, reflash radio, MAGLDR then android rom? Might help, iunno. xD

I was experiencing the exact same thing as you describe. Unfortunately.....i prob just forgot to renew my contract :S
You were able to call with your sim in another phone??

I already did task29 and its not because of contract because Im on winmo now, and I do have service all the time..

Hi
i got exactly the same Problem. in Android no Service. WMO works well all the Time. if i set to gsm only i got network connection for 1 minute or so. Any hints???
Phil

So, some Progress....
i flashed a RUU to went Back to WMO Stock. -> Wireless Service works well.
next step i installed MAGLDR113 and ClockWork Recovery
Next i flashes this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
Flashed gApps
Reboot
Can't get wireless Service
Phone *#*#4636#*#*
Phoneinformation
GSM Only
DNS check 0.0.0.0 allowed.
Now i got stable Wireless Service Connection. Only 2g but stable till now.
We should gather some Infos to find simularitys between Phones having this Problem:
HTC HD2 LEO EU-Version
Radio: 2.15.50.14
16GB Micro-SD Card 15GB fat32, 1gb ext4 for App2SD
T-Mobile DE
MAGLDR 1.13
Another thing i see on my Phone. If i deactive the PIN-Code and restart the Phone i got network Connection with 3G for about 5 seconds. So it seems there is something which kills the 3g Connection on Boot.

still no solution... anyone else pls?

I have the same problem. Had it with my phone a while back and sent it in for repairs to HTC (for freezing issue). Got another back and it worked fine for awhile. But now I'm getting the temporary no signal issue. Only solution I have found is to turn on airplane mode and turn it off.
Also, I have been able to receive text messages when I have "no signal" but cannot send them.
Running Magldr 1.13, radio 2.15, miui 1.5.27

[PROBLEM] Hd2 with Typhoon_3.5.9-MAGLDR freezing (hangup) on internet connection

Hi !
As I mentioned above. I have Android ROM (Typhoon_3.5.9-MAGLDR) on my Leo and I think its great. But I have problem with internet connection on it. When I turning internet connection 2G or 3G phone freezing and I must to remove battery. I have tried many different custom ROMs with no success. Only one version works properly on my HD2 and it is stock ROM [cLK-Clean]_BOYPPC-CM7_Go EX_V43_(25.Aug). Please help me to resolve this.

Sounds like you might need to update to the newest radio 2.15
Check what radio you have right now
ww.4shared.com/file/rVNaZcTK/Task_29_with_Radio_2155014.html

Thanks a lot but it is not working still.
This is what I have done:
1. Update Radio ROM from 2.13 to 2.15
2. Flashing DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
3. Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache_v3.0.2.5_
4. ROM TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.9-MAGLDR
when I figure out that phone still not working properly I have decided do flash another ROM version: NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5). But my Leo still freezing and I can't even configure it when 2G or 3G connection established. WiFi is working very good and this is only way to use internet in my LEO.
Maybe You have any other ideas how to resolve my problem ? Please

hmm
maybe updating to the newest clockwork would help 4.0.1.4 works really well on all roms i run and i do a lot
but the main culprit is THE APN settings
go into wireless settings>mobile networks>access point names (apn)
make sure you have the right settings in there for your provider
i remember when android first came to hd2 i had to input those setting every time i put a new rom in.
i dont know who ur provider is but it should be easy to find out the proper settings for it and then inputting them and saving
otherwise it could be your sim card
see how it goes ..... see what the apn settings are for boyppc and just copy them to other roms
you could PM me too
panie wojciechu nie ma problemu

Po polsku piszemy ?
I'm gonna check this settings. but in my opinion this is hardware issue. When phone is freezed - mainboard temperature is increasing. Sometimes I must wait until temperature decrease to normal becouse Android is not starting. It's stop on Go go go screen of MAGLDR.
When 2G or 3G connection is established I can download files or browse internet so I think that provider (T-mobile) settings are ok but as I mentioned I gonna check this out.
Thank you again

I agree when the phone overheats it freezes and turns off. Turning the phone on before letting it cool off will cause boot failure you're describing. Frequent overheating can ause the touchscreen to stop responding as well. It happened to my phone too, thank god it was under warranty. Since that day I stopped overclocking it.
Polska Gurom!

No Mac Address and WiFi Problem [CM9]

Hey XDA !
I just installed CM9 on dual boot with my FroYo on my Defy MB525.
But when I launched it, I can't have WiFi ! I first activate WiFi, then click on my network (WPA-PSK with WPS (but I don't use it), and configured on "54g auto").
Before I click, the signal is good. But then, when "Connection" is wrote, the signal become very poor (only 1 little bar is lighten). I can't connect on the network. After that, the signal becomes again good.
When I try to look at my Mac Adress, I see "00:00:00:00:00:00" !! By the way, my Bluetooth adress is "not available" !
What should I do ??
EDIT : I already tried to reinstall the ROM, and I also wiped the cache/system/dalvik before AND after installation ! I tried to use another nightly of the ROM, and using CM10 (which, I don't know why, just don't want to boot and continue restarting if I choose to boot on it) !! And if I boot on the other system, the FroYo base, everything works perfectly ! And all my others devices (PC, PS3...) connect normally to the router !

The mac address means either the query cannot retrieve the address, or more likely the device/card cannot connect to the OS.

Oneplus 5 does not connect to wifi networks

Hello!
My Oneplus 5 does not connect to any wifi networks. It is able to see all wifi networks in the range, and is also able to save the network if the password entered is correct, however, it won't actually connect to any network that is saved. I have tried using advanced options while connecting to a network to change from DHCP to Static settings, but it still won't connect to any network. I have also tried changing the wifi band frequencies (2.4 and 5 Ghz individually) to connect to a network but that too does not help. Mobile Data and carrier signal on the other hand work flawlessly, and so does bluetooth connectivity, NFC and personal hotspot (which is why I am very confused). I should also mention that when it fails to connect to a saved wifi network, it occassionally displays "Disabled" under the network SSID (replacing "Saved").
I have changed 3 different ROMs (LOS, stock OOS and No Limits ROM, even replaced the stock kernel with blu_spark r69 when I tried using No Limits and stock OOS to try and see if that fixed the problem), but the phone just won't connect to any detected/saved network using any of those ROMs. I have reverted it fully back to stock now (OOS 4.5.14 and stock kernel and stock recovery) and am still having the same problem.
Sorry if this issue has been solved before and if I am reposting something, but I really need this fixed ASAP and am not able to find a working solution after searching the forums and googling the whole day. Please help me! Thanks!
Edit: finally fixed the problem thanks to Ivints and PeterGuru. Check out the post that Ivints linked below (especially the comments in page 2 of the same)

Thank you so much Ivints! I'm trying to fix it right now with the solutions I got from the post.
I'm having exactly the same problem that the guy who started that post had. I'll let you know when I fix it and everything goes well again! Thanks again, bud!

if you want to stay on Nougat look for the O2N revert flash file it's in the Oxygen 5 beta threads that will let you get back to a nougat based rom.
The Oreo update touched other partitions outside of /system so those wifi drivers don't work with Nougat anymore

aww you should have totally read this post and the one that Ivints linked to fix your problem, i.e. if you had a similar problem.
Glad that everything is working out for you properly now.

I see... I'll look for that thread and get the flash file! thanks! I'm currently using xXx's No Limits 9.2 OB03 ROM with bluspark 3.2.1 recovery and bluspark r77 (Oneplus 5). The only reason that I feel like reverting back to Nougat is that I want to be able to use Xposed again. So i guess I have that option in hand not too! Thanks, bud!

Hello there my friends, i have a problem with my op5
its about wifi: it doesn t see my wifi anymore. idk why
it s been connected to this wifi 2 years ,even after switching roms kernels, firmwares
and now , it doesnt see the wifi no more, actually it sees it, in `Saved` section, but when i press on it to connect
it says ` not in the area` but my other op6 its connected no problem
and i even tried through qr code, it says ` check ur connection and try again`

Just one add-on cause I was just a few minutes away from formatting my data. My OP5 unlocked rooted, rest stock, wasnt connecting to my home wifis (2,4ghz and 5ghz). I flashed a full ota zip. I deleted wifi bluetooth via backups settings.
But I found out that connecting to an iphone hotspot worked. So I entered manually the network SSID + password although the same network name was already in my wifi list (with marking: "saved"). I then clicked on the second "new" same wifi and it directly connected to my home wifi. Same happened to the 5ghz network. I then deleted the old 2 ones.
I have no idea why this happened, I only tried to get VoLTE/Wifi Call running with the magisk module. This might changed sth but I dont get the connection here since there should be no interference...
