lol i will, i just want it cuz i have a microcell at home because of crappy reception and being on edge it wont connect to it, it will be 3g, i dont care about the data speeds but i'd like to be able to at least make a call lol

yeah i did all that, as i did for the past 3 sensations for relatives so i'm all setup unlocked, played around with some ICS and now back to ADHR 4x

but from owning previous htc phones like the TP2 for example, u couldn't flash a radio from a verizon or tmobile version to the sprint version you know that caused bricking and i've seen it so that's what i care more about than anything else

thanks, yeah i had seen that bell radio and downloaded it, but debating over flashing it, although since i know the hardware is the same, what if the radio is different you know, i guess there really is one way to find out since i dont have data sheets on the devices.

we'll see what happens, if it bricks hopefully i can get htc to replace it lol

UPDATE 1: ok so i flashed the 10.50.9007.00U_10.12.9007.21_2 Bell radio, and no 3G, good thing is that it didn't brick lol, it seem to have a slightly better signal, and slightly better EDGE data speed, i was getting 22-30 k up (dont remember down but it was bad) now i'm getting 65k down and 43k upload so leme flash the RIL for that radio and see if anything changes.

Update 2: ok so i flashed the ril from the ril page, but what's interesting is that they show this " HTC-RIL 2.2.0162HMQ - Orange, Bell, and Telus

Radio versions 10.43a.9007.00U_10.11.9007.27 and 10.12.9007.21 and 26.09.04.11" and that's the only RIL/Radio for bell so i'm gona try one of those radios, maybe the 10.50 one i flashed isn't for bell? either way after the RIL and 10.50 i'm still only on edge, no significant change in data speed so i'm gona try one of those radios, those 2 should keep me busy for a bit, but i'm coming to the conclusion that they are different hardware, or we are missing something deeper on the software/firmware side that is not allowing connections to the 3g frequencies which is understand is the 1900mhz from the att microcell. also just for the heck of it, when i search for networks i dont even see the microcell just att

Update 3: flashed the 10.43a but with no luck. only other option i can think of is to flash a Bell RUU and see what happens. gota get going for now, i'll try that later today

hope no one feels that i'm hijacking this thread or bothering anyone, but if this does work i'm sure it will be a benefit to everyone
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
After looking at the Shipped Pyramid ROM collection, I agree with your last point. The OP of this radio thread did not clearly indicate which RUU and region his radios are for. Unfortunately as well, he has abandoned XDA altogether and won't reply to my tweets either.

I took over the RIL thread since it had been abandoned by it's OP due to schoolwork and he sold his Sensation as well, and I hated to see it abandoned, he was very cooperative, but I am still learning about this stuff. :o

I am guessing that the OP of the RIL thread thought the RILs were the same for all regions, but the 2.0.0.00198 RIL from trust-no-one was indicated as being for AUS so maybe that isn't the case.

Edit: wondering if you need to change the APN settings to get the connection to the micro-cell to work? Have you ever checked into that?

Edit2: Just doing some research, and I believe that the methods described in this RUU post will provide a method to get the specific radio for each region, by extracting the PG58IMG.zip file out of the RUU then we should be able to then get the radio.img file out. It is then easy to flash it directly or replace the radio.img file from one of the existing .zip's with the new radio.img file.
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
check out my 3rd update lol

yeah things just kinda not making too much sense when u dig deep into it.

as far as the apn, i'm pretty sure it's the same as i had on my inspire 4g which worked fine with the microcell, i heard there is a different apn for their 4G LTE but nothing different for the 3G. and i doubt it's an APN issue since it doesn't even see the microcell in the network list, and btw it's the same way on my Mytouch 4g
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Interesting. Hmm. Hopefully you can find a good working combination. No worries on thread "hijacking", this is actually specifically what the thread was for, too bad the OP left it but he can't complain. :D
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
lol true

i put my sim in an on backflip now and booting it to see how it will connect to the microcell and check the apn in it just for the heck of it

i also just saw ur edit 2 about extracting the radio from an ruu, i don't think it's just a radio issue at this point, there has to be something else working with it to enable/switch frequencies, and i would assume it would be somewhere in the ruu
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It seems like the RIL is the something else, unless there is another component? The RUU will contain the stock ROM and whatever RIL it has, if there is another component I have never seen it mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
what is the RIL for anyway ? i know i looked it up before but i can't remember now, i'll do some research, i gota head out for a bit. if there is no other software controlling it, that means the phone have different hardware end of story lol

i tried different apn combinations and still the same thing, not much difference in the apns really, one didn't have a user name and password and had different mms ports that's about it.

on the backflip i got umts 3g and on the microcell, i tried my sisters atrix with my sim and i got the same thing, although that crappy backflip got faster data than the atrix lol

i'll resume later on
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I know it is Radio Interference Layer. Hadn't had a chance to look much further yet, but...Wikipedia (I know, I know :D ) looks pretty straightforward however.

Checking the files in the latest RIL packages from the RIL thread shows three files.

/system/bin/rild - RIL Daemon

/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so - Obviously vendor specific

/system/lib/libril.so - ? Omar302 states here that this file is not needed when using GB radio/RILs with ICS ROMs, but it is apparently needed for ICS ROM/radio/RIL combinations since it does exist on my phone by default.

On my phone, I also have those files, plus two others.

/system/lib/libhtc_ril_switch.so - Obviously vendor specific

/system/lib/librilswitch.so - ? - I am going to go back through some older GB ROM packages and see what I can find for these files.

Edit: OK, so both of these files are in ARHD 3.6.13 and 4.1.13 where the recommended radio is 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2, so assumably the RIL will be HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ. Checking the files listed in that RIL across the two different ARHD versions seems to indicate they are different. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
no worries electrical engineer here, but my focus was on Energy systems not communications lol so it all makes perfect sense :)

i did remember one thing though, *#*#197328640#*#* gets u into the service menu, in the first option (phone info), hit menu, you'll see Select Radio Band

but it doesn't have an option for canada lol

it has Auto, Europe, USA, Japan and 2 for Australia

maybe that's what is gona make the difference, but i reflashed the 10.58 radio, so im gona reflash the 2 supposedly bell radios and try to switch to each one and see if i get anything

with the 10.58 radio, i tried every option (rebooting phone after each selection) and it doesn't even connect to anything anymore, and doesn't see any networks

so hopefully a different radio will change that. i'll let you know

LOL one way or another i got my mind set on this sucker, unless it's indeed a different hardware radio
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
That sequence doesn't do anything on my phone, but I do recall someone posting some additional combinations beyond *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#INFO#*#* and I didn't mark it and can't seem to find that posting. :( There were more 4 letter combinations and one of them had options like you describe.
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
well it's settled

it is a hardware issue, there are 2 different models:

z710e and z710a

it seems that the only difference is the radio hardware

im thinking i should go back to simple mobile, $40 a month and unlimited everything and great data speeds but again same issue, bad reception inside the house. maybe i should move LOL

i was looking at an antenna setup that you put on your roof or somewhere outside and it connects to a microcell tower thing, only difference from the one i have from att is that well the one att gave me is free for me lol and it works on wifi not bu running wires and having an antenna outside n all

so frustrating i might trade for a Vivid or Amaze since vivid is for att, and the amaze seem to work on both and it seem to be confirmed. too many options to just making calls lol. if google voice gives me calling over wifi and mms along with the current services i'd be set

oh well interesting day, thanks for helping out it means alot
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry I couldn't help more, thank you for trying to work through that. There is one thing you might look at here. http://cel-fi.com/
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
yeah, i was thinking of something like that but i dunno there is already 1 in the house

we'll see the contract with att is up next month, and god knows i go through phones like underwear lol i just got the sensation on thursday for a really cheap price, and im thinking trading it with someone on craigslist is the best way to go

if im gona stay with att

we'll see
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I wish I had held out for another 3-4 months and gone with Verizon instead of TMobile. My buddy gets unbelievable 30meg speeds from his LTE with the Nexus. Picked the phone instead of the carrier, wrong way really. :/ I could have gotten the Bionic or the Razr or ... Oh well.. :D I love the Sensation, it will work great for another 18 months and then I am sure I will end up with a quad core something something....but not on TMobile if they make it that long :D Good Luck!!
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
lol yeah, my friend got the Rezound, it's sick!!

and did u see what htc is coming out with? those phone are crazy lol

due to financial reasons i left simple mobile and metropcs before that and im on a family plan with someone so it might not stay on it too long. i love motorola phones, but i gota have sense lol. the amaze is supposed to get very high speeds as well, they say theoretical 42mbps so maybe u'll get half lol, might not be a bad idea to sell yours and get a used amaze
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I don't like the new HTC phones though, non-removable battery and no SD slot...No Thanks. :D Unfortunately I have to stick it out through this contract until 08/2013 :(
[HTC Sensation] lebmb:
yeah that's true i saw that, i guess they are taking the Apple route which sux. you are stuck with the contract, but not the phone lol

I just downgraded from firmware 3.24 with radio 11.21.3504.

I'm going back to using HyperSensation (Gingerbread). Which radio should i download from the first page?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] lucier:
Hi!

I'm using Hypersensation and if you download the last Hypersensation evrsion (1.8) you will have the RadioROM inside.

See ya!
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
Can anyone guide me with RADIO?

Before v3.0.1, I was on v2.2.5(11.21.3504.13_2 radio) and everything seemed fine!

Now with 11.22.3504.07_M radio, my 3g network isn't working.

Someone sent me a link, but i have idea what to do!

It says, "The 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 radio is included in the Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU", but im on firmware 3.30.401.101. How do i get back my 3g?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
First I guess I would suggest trying a ROM based on the earlier release today of what is reputedly "official" ICS. Like ARHD 6.4.0, and I am sure the other devs will be releasing shortly as well if you prefer a different flavor. I will be flashing it shortly myself since I have not been happy with the performance of the last two radios either. :D

Second, the various radios are included in the firmware packages released by the devs, but you can download a separate package from post 1 in this thread with just the radio, then download the matching RIL package. I recommend using ICS radios/RILs with ICS ROMs, and GB radio's/RILs with GB ROMs. So you could flash the 11.21.3504.13_2 radio and the matching 4.0.0.0012 RIL and get back to where you were. Just follow the instructions in post 1. If you have any difficulty with any of the steps in post 1, post back to that radio/RIL thread. Unfortunately the original poster of this thread has abandoned it, so please continue on this thread. Good Luck!

Edit: Well, it seems that there is not a new radio with the new ICS update. :(
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
Flashed Hyper v1.8. radio dont change . check in zip rom. I dont think we have radio inside :D
[HTC Sensation] BLEK0TA:
hi, i m looking for modified radio rom, in which i will be connected to only one cell and for police, cia or any spec. agency my location is after that undetectable (better sayd detectable for very big territory and not accuracy)

does any that rom exist or can someone made it?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry, never seen or heard of such a ROM. You might have better luck posting this question in the Sensation General Forum, although you would probably need to offer a bounty to get a dev to consider such a request. And even with that....well, good luck.

ATTENTION: This thread is not currently being actively monitored as the OP seems to have abandoned it. If you have questions about Sensation radios, please come to the Sensation radio/RIL thread. Thank you.

Please can anyone tell me if a radio of an HTC sensation is compatible with HTC Sensation 4G? and where can i find links to download them?

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] behnamsarhandi:
it's same !

you can find this topic: Sensation Radio/RIL files
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
whats the best radio to use ???
[HTC Sensation] manudas:
True. In settings is shown fine. In hboot shows my older radio version.

Really I cant understand why... Maybe we need RADIO S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
I don't think so. I flashed the radio released after the one from the 401 (common rom version used for many ROMS here.)

It changed the version number in hboot. I think the radio is flashing but the version number in hboot looks different.
[HTC Sensation] kingvaj23:
I have a question ..if adb just pushes the .zip to.my sd card why can't I just put it on the root of my sd card??
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
As you say.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Which one is preferred? ex. best battery life, signal, etc.
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Tmobile sensation user just looking to see what's the best or correct radio to flash. Any help?

Pyramid pvt ship s-off rl

Hboot 1.17.1011

Radio 10.11.9006.15_m

Emmc boot
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
I installed the Eng-Hboot is 1.17.2008

But I discovered that the Revolutionary S-OFF do the same.

How can I restore the revolutionary hboot?

Any help?
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I have made this myself.

http://www.multiupload.com/UQ37K5ZGCQ

Download,rename to PG58IMG,put in root of SD,go to bootloader it will ask for update. Say yes to update, You will have 1.17.0011 after the update.

Worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] infinityhombre:
Using a TMOUS Sensation I flashed 10.50 and it stuck with no problem. I have noticed some improved data speed and slight battery gain with this radio. Thanks for the share.
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
I have a Z710a with Software number 1.34.781.2 is there any easy way to back up my existing radio once I S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
No there is no way that I have seen to dd or make a back up of the radio partition.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
How about (in bootloader mode, with eng hboot):

fastboot oem saveprt2sd radio -n radio.bin
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
As I know s-off and radio s-off are different things..

If yes how can I s-off my radio count find any info please help thanks
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
I fully agree with this statement. As long as you match up md5 sums, it is so much easier. It took me less than 3 minutes to just flash the radio I wanted which btw, is so much better than the stock one!

Thanks for posting these radios I'm sure I'll be back sometime haha.
[HTC Sensation] SpiderVenom:
On previous phones I've owned radios have been region specific. Flash the wrong kind and you have a brick. My question is are any sensation radios region specific, I have a tmous and recently flashed my first sensation rom, revolution hd 1.1.3. My data falls to edge as soon as I get on the web so I want to try the recommended radio but don't want to brick my phone.
[HTC Sensation] rathoughts:
Where is my 4G Icon

Hi. I have been having some issues with my 4G icon showing. I don't know if it is a ROM or a reception issue. Well, basically, after installing a few ROMs, I notice that 4G doesn't show up anymore. I am with TMOUS. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
I flashed the last radio on the op fine with no problem.

Sent from my duo core monster.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
You can get the radio you want from the RUU updates. When you open the exe it will load all the files in your user temp folder. In there there is a zip called rom.zip. In there there you will find radio.img. Check out the debranding topic to learn more detail about it.

That way you know 100% sure it's for your region.
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
Hi pr0x2

I flashed this hboot and then the revolutionary-0.3pre7.

Work like a charm :D

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] law16:
any way to get these radios flash able through cwm
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
No, radios have to be flashed through Hboot.....
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Now I don't want to assume, I just want to make sure. What's the latest radio on this list? Is it the latest at the top, or the latest towards the bottom?

Ex: Is the 10.43 radio later than the 10.50 radio? Also what are the differences if I may ask?
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
This Android Revolutionary ROM is WWE(that's the ROM I'm on) so it won't show 4G only h. Your still getting 4G tho. I have been looking around to see if I can just flash a 4G icon in place of the h. I want my 4G one back hahaha
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Look back at infinityhombres post

It's not an assumption! He straight up said I have a tmous sensation and flashed the last one on the list. 10.50
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
The newer the radio the higher the version number....
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
the thing with the radios is one last thing i dont really get ;)

i dont know exactly what hbott said before s-off, but i think it was 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3. same in the settings menu.

after s-off, settings menu still said 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 but hboot said 10.11.9007.27_M3

tried to flash 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 manually and terminal said done but in hboot it was still 10.11.9007.27_M3.

so i just tried to flash ARHD and it worked fine.

now hboot still says 10.11.9007.27_M3 but ARHD settings menu says 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3

it really confuses me... what is the real installed radio?!?

can anyone point this clear to me? thx!
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
menu/setting/about phone/software info/more/baseband version this is the radio you have running, I dont really know whats going on with the Hboot version number but ignore the Hboot version number, the real radio version number is the one displayed in the menu I gave above.
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
thx!

glad im not the only one with this issue ;)

could i install any radio given in the initial thread? or are they region/language/... specific?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
You should be able to.....
[HTC Sensation] Blob8me:
Just a quick note to say many thanks for sharing. Just flashed a new Radio V2 to my ME Region S-Off'd LeeDroided Sensation - Very Happy :)
[HTC Sensation] tacklebury87:
This will definatley make me sound like a massive noob but I'm a little confused!

Is there a difference between S-OFF (via revolutionary) and ENG S-OFF (which is required to flash a radio, right?)

And if so how do I get my device ENG S-OFF? (I'm already S-OFF and Rooted)

Thanks for your help!
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
The hboot that revolutionary installed at s-off has fastboot commands, so you do not need the eng Hboot.
[HTC Sensation] tacklebury87:
sweet, so I can just flash a new radio as per the start of this thread then?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
I would flash the radio.img through fastboot......
[HTC Sensation] gu1dry:
Please stop polluting my thread with your suggestion on using fastboot. Like I've said time & time again fastboot flashing radios is much more dangerous then flashing radios via the P___IMG.zip method.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
Is it really worth me flashing my phone already has 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27 on?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
Thats your opinion....

I will continue to give sound advice, fastboot is safer.....where have you been anyway, oh yeah you don't even own a sensation....huh???? If its YOUR thread as you say you should probably pay more attention to it. If you want to know what a real radio thread should look like why don't you click the link in my sig. and check one out....:)

You can add the straight radio.img to your OP and give people the choice of which way they want to flash their radios....dont take this as a personal attack but more like some constructive criticism...have a great day.
[HTC Sensation] Mi|enko:
It's his thread, so his choice, but he could just add an addendum that said "If you'd like to fastboot flash rather than PC58IMG" yada yada, "then just extract the img from the zip" and blah blah. Realistically, if somebody can't figure out to extract the img file, they probably shouldn't be using fastboot commands and would most likely be better off with the zip.
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
I'm not saying the update zips don't work, hell I have them posted in my radio thread in the G2/DesireZ forum, It is the preferred method in my radio thread to use because its easy, no ADB/ Fastboot commands to use, I am allowed to give my opinions and reasons to those opinions, this thread is not based on something he has cooked up, he is re-posting officially released radio.img's with and android text file that he zipped together to update the radio, thats it. I don't try to enforce my opinion on people in my radio thread I give them all the information they need to make an informed decision, its like He's taking it personal because I think fastboot is safer than his update zips, as I have stated before I have seen a few bricks with the update zip method and never with fastboot, he claims the opposite, so we all have our opinions...He wanted to open a radio thread for official radios and he's gonna get different opinions in it....If he thinks Ive done something wrong in his thread then he can report it , but I tell you I have not, and I'm not the only person who feels fastboot is safer...many,many seasoned Android users agree with me, so no need to defend him cause no one is attacking him.

Again I will state that ::: FLASHING RADIOS IS SAFER USING FASTBOOT- IN MY OPINION just like flashing radios with a update.zip is safer in gu1dry's opinion...and remember opinions are like A-holes we all got one.
