Hmm, I will check through the RUU's and see if there is one.

Well, there is an older GB Vodaphone UK RUU there. The DisH3 rcdata.img that gives me the best results of the three TMO files is also from GB so that is not necessarily a problem. Now the problem is trying to download it now but all the download slots are full. :mad: Wish football would rehost some of those on dev-host. I will keep trying so check back later today.
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
I'm currently using the same combination of radio and ril. Signal is stronger than 11.69A and a lottle bit faster.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Vodaphone UK DisH file!

Check here for a newer version h/t akamustang

Make sure your build.prop file has this line.

ro.ril.hspxa=2

ro.ril.radio.svn=3

If you aren't sure how to edit the build.prop file check here for instructions.

so TMO users and everyone else please do not flash it. I don't think it will hurt anything, it just won't help and you will need to flash one of the other DisH files to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
I think it's already resolved. I have successfully downloaded the 11.76 radio from the op and check md5 then flashed. All is working as expected.

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Football gets a little money for ever download from filefactory. Also look how many RUU's he has uploaded, he would probably break devhosts servers uploading that much data :D (to people who havent got a sense of humor, that was a joke)
[HTC Sensation] anees27:
Cheers mf2112. This rcdata.img has done the trick. I no longer get a signal hunt between 3G and H.

But more importantly, I no longer get the 'connection lost error' when using the YouTube app.

I previously thought it was an ARHD rom issue, but then also got this error with the stock WWE roms as well.

This is probably due to the stock rom not having a rcdata.img. It might work on some carriers, but with Vodafone UK, it did not....anything internet related was very slow and intermittent.

So, based on my personal experience, I would strongly recommend flashing the carriers rcdata.img and of course any related build.prop modifications which you have mentioned.

Thanks,

Anees
[HTC Sensation] TobiasR:
I just had the same issue today, but it seems as if it just needs a few secs to switch back.

First attempt to open a webpage failed, but just as I closed the browser it reconnected the data connection...
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Well, that is interesting, maybe the DisH2 vs. DisH3 doesn't really matter so much as making sure it is from the right carrier and right region.

I don't mind packaging up the files, the problem is that it requires downloading 380 meg RUUs in order to get one file that is less than 200 bytes. :(

So I guess people need to let me know if they are having connect/disconnect or flaky issues and if your carrier is something other than the four five versions we have so far.

TMOUS

TMO - Europe, not sure of country of origin.

Vodaphone Italy

Vodaphone UK

Asia (Taiwan)

I will try to find an RUU with your carrier and country. I have some RUU's and OTA's already, so I will review what I have and put out other versions if anything new.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
OK, here is a DisH2 rcdata.img file from:

RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.32.709.108_R1_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251682_signed.exe

Make sure your build.prop file has this line.

ro.ril.hspxa=2

If you aren't sure how to edit the build.prop file check here for instructions.

TMO users and Vodaphone users and everyone else please do not flash it. I don't think it will hurt anything, it just won't help and you will need to flash one of the other DisH files to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] mo976:
After a day of testing the .0037ril I went back to the .0024 it seems like my overall speeds were better and more consistent and call quality is the same. In general though the 11.76 radio has improved general signal strength and stability though the jury is out on battery drain since I bounce between CM9 nightlys from Skankwhich/OS and that might be a factor.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
OK, here is the DisH2 rcdata.img file from the OTA from Italy:

OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6-3.32.401.5_R_release_266230n9ouzm6y7ls02drn.zip

Make sure your build.prop file has this line.

ro.ril.hspxa=2

If you aren't sure how to edit the build.prop file check here for instructions.

Not sure what carrier it might be for as the OTA didn't say and I don't recall anyone stating it was carrier specific so far. If it doesn't help then you will need to flash one of the other DisH files to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
mf2112,

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but while two of your dish files have this line included, your newer Dish2 rcdata.img doesn't:

"AGPSNVSetting=1"

I edited mine to include it as it just makes common sense. And while I could certainly be mistaken, it seems to work for me. At least I don't think it broke anything.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
believe it's because the tmo ics update does not include that in rcdata
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I don't change or edit any of the rcdata.img files. I leave them exactly as they are from the RUUs or OTAs.
[HTC Sensation] ruffrider5956:
Hey can anyone help me? my htc sensation 4g does not get reception anymore ever since I did the s-off and flashed the android revolution rom. I have tried flashing other roms, but still no reception. So can anyone help me?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you get no reception at all then I would suspect a hardware issue, like the cover being off or one or more of the little gold fingers on the phone to be bent and not making contact with the case. You can try flashing one of the radios to see if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] ruffrider5956:
Thanks lol I did not know the case needed to be on for it to have reception stupid mistake works now lol
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
OK, here is the DisH2 rcdata.img file from this RUU. I assuming Vodaphone Germany but I guess it could be Greece?

:

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_GR_1.35.168.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198190_signed.exe

Make sure your build.prop file has these lines.

ro.ril.hspxa=2

ro.ril.radio.svn=2

If you aren't sure how to edit the build.prop file check here for instructions.

If it doesn't help then you will need to flash one of the other DisH files to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
Attached is the DisH from the latest Vodafone UK 1.45.161.1 RUU
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
Which dish i need to use if i have vodafone in Croatia?

I flashed newest 3.33 firmware now and the signal is better but what dish?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I can't say that I have seen an RUU or OTA for Croatia so I am not sure which is best for your region or carrier. I did post the DisH file from that 3.33 OTA but if you flashed a firmware package then it probably had the same file included.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
OK, here is a Vodaphone France DisH2 rcdata.img file from:

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.27.163.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191976_signed.exe

TMO users and everyone else please do not flash it. I don't think it will hurt anything, it just won't help and you will need to flash one of the other DisH files to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Doh! Good job on that one, I mistakenly grabbed the older Vodaphone UK 1.27 release for mine so I will change the link to yours. I would suggest that people using it make sure the build.prop file has these two entries to match the rcdata.img file.

ro.ril.hspxa=2

ro.ril.radio.svn=3

If you aren't sure how to edit the build.prop file check here for instructions.
[HTC Sensation] design12:
I'm on tmobile us. If I were to install 11.76a which is the newest radio from the 3.33 firmware if I'm correct, would I leave the dish that came with it or flash the tmous dish file? Thanks By the way I will be installing the 3.33 firmware

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
Ok i will stay on dish that comes with newest firmware but there is no IMEISVN number in it? My line in build.prop is ro.ril.radio.svn=2. Is this ok for this new firmware?
[HTC Sensation] laxin:
Hey guys i recently flashed the latest radio and the ril file that comes with it. I'm on CM9 and when i flash the 3.33 firmware the phone gets stuck at the bootanimation. Any recommendation to fix the problem?
[HTC Sensation] Migz71:
Can anyone post a link to the uk h3g DisH files or rcdata.img cheers ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I only see one H3G RUU here but I don't have time to grab it and pack it this morning. I can try to get it done this weekend, or if you have time you could follow the instructions in post 3, download the RUU, run it and stop before hitting the continue prompt, open %temp%, scroll down to the latest created folder, copy the rom.zip file from it, open the rom.zip file and copy the firmware.zip package from it, then finally open the firmware.zip package to copy the android-info.txt and rcdata.img files out so you can drag them into one of the current DisH PG58IMG.zip packages and overwrite the files there.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
That's odd, but I guess don't flash the firmware? I am running the newest radio and RIL which seem to be running fine but I never flashed the 3.33 firmware.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
The 3.33 firmware has the latest DisH file included with it, but I would think that one of the TMO DisH files would give you better results. You can either reflash the DisH file afterwards, or delete the rcdata.img file from the 3.33 firmware package before flashing and you will keep whichever DisH (rcdata.img) file you have now.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmmm, there was not a setting in the latest DisH for IMEISVN. Some of them from different regions have it and others don't. I don't think having it in the build.prop file will hurt but it may not help either.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
mf2112,

I would like to know if you have tested this configuration

Radio and RIL from 3.33

RCdata dish from TMOUS 3.32.531

How about Wifi Calling? Speed?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] OzanSRC:
I have a S-ON but unlocked with HTC Dev Sensation XE. I cant get S-Off my device due to Juopunutbear's timing bla blas... When i wanna update my radio can i flash new Ruu and get it or new for new radios i should get S-OFF? My Base version is 3.32 and i'm installing 3.33 now. Flashing new Ruu is enough for new Radio and RIL? (My Cid is HTC__013 Norway i guess)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmmm, I have not tested that specific combination, sorry. Since the latest radio/RIL came out, I have not yet gone back and tested the latest rcdata.img from the 3.32.531 update, but the 11.76A radio/4.0.0037 RIL is working well with the older TMO DisH3 rcdata.img file for me now. I will test it this weekend though and post the results. I expect it to work fine since it worked with all the other ICS radios.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Flashing the RUU should work to replace your radio and RIL, no problem.
[HTC Sensation] OzanSRC:
Thanks for the answer but this guy says:

What could it be? Firmware should update Radio also. If don't what's the Firmwares aim??
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Did you have a working WiFi calling with your configuration. I haven't test mine cause my work network blocks it
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmm, the firmware should update the radio but perhaps with S-on it can't. I was sure I had read that it was still possible but I can't test it since I am S-off already and I am not going to relock, sorry.

I would try again to get S-off, since it is more difficult to flash custom kernels otherwise as well.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
My WiFi Calling is working well with the latest radio/RIL.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
I didn't like how my phone behave with the latest radio RIL so I just flashed the old ril with the new radio.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
With so many options now I'm getting confused. I'm a tmous person, if I want to try one of the new roms with new 3.33 base should I flash the entire firmware or just the radio and ril?
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
What ROM you plan to use. I am on Elegancia Blitz 2.0. My settings

New Firmware, new Radio (all from 3.33), RCdata/dish from 3.32.531 TMOUS and the included Ril 4.0.0.24

I did try the RIL 4.0.0.37 BUT my phone didn't like it.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I know what you mean unfortunately. Too many options and not clear cut which ones to pick. If you are going to try one of the new ROMs, then I guess I would think the new 3.33 firmware could be important. I am still running a 3.32 based ROM so I just have the new radio and RIL only and it is working ok as far as I can tell.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
You do need to do the whole firmware update, just the radio. The ril 4.0.0.037 from 3.33 did not work well with my phone. I'm also tmous user and i have tmous firmware with ril 4.0.0.024 and only updated the radio to the newest 11.24a

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
Well ... i just installed the new radio/RIL from the new firmware ...

Signal increased 1 bar...

Data .5 MB faster ... 1MB to 1.5 (but I dont credit the radio so much cuz data speeds change every test no matter what radio)

No other testing yet ...

But let me say ... I had all kinds of problems with the downloaded files and md5's matching ....

So watch out for that ....

Im TmoUS in Ft. Lauderdale
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Problems from the dev-host download or from the dropbox download?
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Well, I did a few speed tests to see how the latest combo of 11.76A.3504.00P w/ RIL 4.0.0037 and DisH2 fared for me in Arizona.

ping / down / up

1452ms / 3.91 Mbps / 1.12 Mbps

1552ms / 4.36 Mbps / 1.55 Mbps

1704ms / 3.71 Mbps / 1.59 Mbps

177ms / .64 Mbps / 1.62 Mbps

1124ms / 2.93 Mbps / 1.38 Mbps

I also tested with other RILs .0017 and .0024 and my pings still were really high (pretty much same as with .0037) so it seems the radio itself just doesn't totally work out for me. In previous days on the latest radio, despite high pings my download speeds were .5-1.0 above average which was great but initially connecting to things felt sluggish. Oh, and my results were very similar on both the 3.32 TMOUS firmware and 3.33 FW running the 11.76 radio.
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
That was on the dev-host downloads...
[HTC Sensation] Johnny-Kun:
I would love to update my radio but I don't know what one to choose.

My current radio is 11,22,3504,07_M

HBoot-1.27.1100

Recovery-4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.4 RC3

From Australia and with Vodafone if that helps
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
I performed similar tests as you did also with new radio/ril. And while my results were similar to yours (except for ping) they were a marked improvement over what they had been. But along with the radio/ril upgrades I also did a little build.prop tweaking because I discovered my ROM, OpenSensation, was missing quite a few ro.ril entries that the Sense roms have. I believe that it's these build.prop modifications that most improved my speeds.

I see that you are also running OS. Perhaps those same modifications would also help yours. If interested, you can see my tweak post here.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry you had those problems, it seems that Dev-Host is still working out some issues there periodically, so maybe something was going on there. I tried several of the radios yesterday and again just now, including the latest one 3 times, everything came out ok with correct MD5s. One time it seemed to hang for 15-20 seconds on the "Downloads" dialog box with the counter on 0 before starting the download and then it was ok. I was thinking about taking down the dropbox links since it seemed that no one was really using them but I guess not now.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you are getting good signals then there is not a need to change it. If you feel the signal could be better, then as long as you follow the instructions, it won't hurt to try different radios and RILs until you find the one that works best for your phone in your area. There is enough differences in the electronics of your phone and the cell towers it contacts to make it impossible to predict which one is "best".
[HTC Sensation] nyabaru:
DisH2 on Optus (AU)

Johnny-Kun, i am on Optus via TPG.

Tonight I installed the DisH2-3.32_OTA zip and though my ping time doubled ultimately my D/L and U/L increased by about 15% across 12 tests.

I am running.

Radio 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

Ril 4.0.0036HMQ

HBoot-1.27.1100

Recovery-4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.4 RC3

ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 28

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 7

ro.ril.hsxpa = 2

Used DisH2 because of ro.ril.hsxpa

:cool:
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
No worries ... you guys all stress md5 checks ... and anyone who ignores the warning ... too bad!

Anyhow ... a little more testing today: I am pleased with the new radio combo. I think its an improvement overall ... so its gonna stay.

Thanks for the hard work!

Edit: FWIW I am noticing better speeds/signal using ro.ril.hsxpa = 3
[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
Problem to associate ril to radio

The RIL of viperss 1.0.1 rom is HTC-RIL_4.0.0036HMQ (with ril infos)(unknow for "get ril"app)

I flash the last radio ( Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M) and from this thread of Radio/Ril the relative ril is HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ right?

So I must change the Ril right?

I tried to change the ril with "GET RIL" app, but with "ril infos" i read always HTC-RIL_4.0.0036HMQ while with "GET RIL" i see HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ why?

who can I trust?

thx in advance
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmm, I would suggest downloading the RIL packages and flashing the one you want through recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
ok I'll follow your advice!

flash the zip from recovery without any wipes right?

EDIT: I read the 1° page: Wipe cache and dalvik!!! thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Exactly right. The dalvik cache will be wiped as part of the updater-script but you don't have to do anything else.
[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
Ok perfect; therefore I flash only without wipe dalvick and cache right?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Right, sorry I was busy elsewhere. I will update the first post if I stated to wipe cache and dalvik there, it is not necessary to wipe the cache.
[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
no problem!! THX a lot!!!
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
I was wondering if anyone knew if rcdata is dependent on the hardware/radio/ril? I'm using the Australian/Canadian version of the Sensation on AT&T in the USA. Because it isn't a carrier supported phone, I was wondering if I will run into issues flashing rcdata from the HTC One X AT&T edition. TIA!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Seems to be more carrier dependent to me. I haven't really seen an ATT-based RUU but I hadn't really looked to be honest. :o Just went through the list of Sensation RUUs and there are none listed that mention ATT in the name.

No idea on the rcdata from the OneX. I guess it doesn't seem that crazy when I think about it again. Same manufacturer, I would bet they still do things in the same fashion.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
From what I gathered, rcdata doesn't seem to be very hardware dependent, the fact that it is also HTC device alleviates some fear.. I'll have to just give it a shot and I'll report back! Thanks for your input. (The Sensation isn't an AT&T device, I bought it unlocked so there won't ever be any RUUs for it :cyclops:)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you would please report back on how well it works, or doesn't, I would definitely appreciate it. I know there are a number of AT&T Sensation users out there as the questions do come up periodically.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Hi! I'm trying to find pg58img.zip radios for better signal and batt life.I live in mesa,A.z. don't it go off of where life when choosing.a radio.I'm a complete noobey.any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
No way to predict which radio will be "best" for you in your area. I am getting good results from the latest one, 11.76A, with the 4.0.0024 RIL. I haven't seen anyone else from AZ post yet, so if you try a different one and get good results please post it back here. Good Luck and thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
The latest radios that you have listed if I wanted to try them out how do I get them in my phone because there not in a zip file like a Rom or kernel.l read the page twice just alittle confused.I'm no computer tech.Do I some how put them in a pg58img.zip and flash that on my phone.If yes how do I get them in a pg58img.zip for I can flash them on my phone. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
They are already in the PG58IMG.zip format. You just need to download the PG58IMG.zip file and copy it to the root of your SD, then boot into bootloader to flash it. Some people prefer to flash the radio directly from the PC, so I provided instructions for that.

Are you looking at the RIL files just below the radios? Those are normal zips flashable through recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I'm talking about the latest ones you have listed above my first post.they are just wriiten there.how do I get those in a pg58img.zip file for I could download them.they don't make like just list of radio frenquencies all ready in a pg58img.file like how you find roms and kernels all ready to be downloaded?how can you tell which ones are for firmware 3.32.and is that all I have to make sure the radios are compatible with the firmware.sorry for all the Qwestion I just want to be safe and not brick my phone. Thanks...
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
All of the ICS radios are compatible with the 3.32 firmware. They are all in the PG58IMG.zip format in the second post of this thread. No worries, I don't want you to brick your phone either. Just follow the instructions in the first post and you will be fine.
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
Is it possible to change rcdata.img from 3.32 tmo OTA to dish 3?

Swyped on HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I have not edited any of the rcdata.img files, so I don't know. I would assume there is more to it than that however. Also, it is not necessary to quote the entire third post. :)
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I was wondering could you use a t-mobile sensation unlocked and change the radios and get 3 or 4G service on at&t?are no matter what could you only get 2G and edge.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I believe that it is possible to get ATT 3G service from prior posters, although I am not sure which radio/RIL combination would best achieve that at this point.

See post below.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
No. The hardware is different and radios are dependent on the hardware. The TMOUS version of the phone supports the HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 bands. There is a different version of the phone (the one I have, sold by Bell Canada) which supports the AT&T HSDPA 850 / 1900 bands.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Also, this doesn't work. I guess rcdata is dependent on the hardware @.@
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Thanks for clearing that up. I had seen posters state previously that it had worked but I hadn't anyone seen state that there was a different version of the phone itself.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Hey you flash the rils from the bootloader not recovery like s Rom or kernel correct.what's the bootloader and how do I get to it.I'm confused I know how you do a Rom and kernel just not how to get the new rils on,in the bootloader.I'm sorry for the qwestions man.I'm no comp tech!!!
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
Flash rils through recovery. To get to to bootloader, power off device, press and hold volume down button and power up device. Don't let go of volume button till in the bootloader.

Swyped on HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Then once in bootloader go to the root of ad card and find your rils and flash,download them and then reboot phone.Is that correct.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
RILs get flashed through recovery, not bootloader. Just copy them to your SD, boot into recovery, and choose the file to flash. The script will clear the cache automatically, so just reboot afterwards.

If you are having problems rebooting into the correct mode, try Quickboot.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Yup, there's a HTC Sensation z710e and z710a.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
So just like a Rom or kernel is done.
