Flash back to stock and see if it works
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Is there a RUU to do this?
[HTC Sensation] ckong1:
i had this happen to my wife previously, we called AT&T and it was because her existing sim was "too old". could be your issue also.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
What network was the phones on originally?

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

That's also a good shout
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
The phone is T Mobile and my sim card is also T-Mobile, I was using it on the Nexus One and the HD-2 on Android.
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I'd still recommend calling T-Mobile or even going into one of their stores nearby. They will help you troubleshoot and may just confirm that you need a new sim card. I had this issue and needed a new sim card when converting from my Nexus One to my MyTouch 4G for some reason so it is a possibility.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Will do I will stop on one of the stores and see if a sim card is what I need.

Thanks for the suggestions ALL!
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Whatever you do don't pay for the sim! They should give it to you for free
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'm trying to source the latest RUU for you as well, just in case
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Thanks for that!

Well I went to the store put in the sim card and nothing happened, I wonder if maybe the previous owner messed the phone up trying to unlock it and if he did I don't know if it can be fixed.

Bummer, $350.00 right on jeopardy.

I turn it off and will give it 10mins hopefully it works now.

Fingers cross and drum droll going on!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Id call that dude back up and get my money back if a Tmobile store couldnt connect it either. Didnt you see it work in person before handing the guy money?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
It's not working and says no data, I didn't try it because there was no sim card available then.

So I ask is there a possibility that by unlocking the phone it maybe damaged?
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
you didn't test the phone before paying the guy? you might of purchased a stolen phone :( try doing the super cid and installing a usa based rom like beast rom or stock tmo rom the other rom might have the apn messed up....install the latest tmo usa radio

Start fresh and install the latest T mobile US ruu, then install the 2.3.4 OTA update, that should get you going. Sounds like there's a setting, radio, and or RIL that is incorrect. I am assuming you checked the apn settings.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Right now I am at the Stryper concert at HOB, when I get home I will try the RUU.

Don't think it's a bad APN because I did a full wipe in recovery and reinstalled the coredroid latest ROM and still can't get service.

Also the tech support at T-Mo check if the phone was blacklisted and no it wasn't so that's good.

It should work on their network.
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
Which radio are you using? Menu>settings>about phone also is it a T-Mobile branded phone or EU version ?
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Definitely try flashing the RUU for T Mous, I have read a number of posts in the development section about it. From what I've read some key software components may not be flashing properly or something to that affect so some recommend flashing the Official RUU and then flashing the custom ROM when a problem such as yours presents itself.

Enjoy the concert.

Report back how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I am running the latest TMOUS RUU (RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed)

And it recognizes the phone and it says it is on version 1.45.531.1 then I press the Update buttom to update the current ROM and then the RUU says it will update the phone to 1.29.531.2 and I click nextthe the RUU says it's checking then waiting for boot loader then the phone goes to a screes that is black and says in the center htc and stays there with no progress and the RUU then gives me an error # 171 USB Connection ERROR.

Am I missing something here? Maybe it's the USB driver for the Sensation that is wrong?

Thanks for all the support
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
OK, update.

I was able to flash the phone with the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed RUU and it ran successfully the phone rebooted and still I don't get any signal from T-Mobile.

Had to connect via WiFi to log into my gmail account and also install the latest OTA which installed without any problems but still i have no signal, can't make phone calls or connect to 3G or 4G; I am able to connect to wifi though.

Here is a picture of my Hboot screen, please observe it and let me know if something is funny there.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Start the phone in FASTBOOT, connect to the PC and then re-run the RUU. See how that goes

Couldn't source the 1.45 RUU btw, sorry
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Seems we were posting at the same time, I was able to run the RUU successfully but still no joy all I get is this:

This is the software the phone currently has:

Anyone has any other suggestion?

Thanks for all the help.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
I rally hope not, but it looks to me as if its been imie locked (i.e stolen) I know you said it was a Chinese UCLA student, doesn't mean a) he wasn't a thief and b) he also may have purchased the phone in the condition you have it... i.e locked.

I hope in either case I am totally wrong and these epic people at xda mange to get your sensation up and running!

Best of luck :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Suppose you can call T-Mobile and ask??
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Thanks for replying, I called T-Mobile and the tech support person checked the IMEI and no it is not blocked from the T-MO network so I suppose that possibility can be eliminated.

I will stop by one of the official stores today to check if they can try it with another sim card because I did try with with my wife's Nexus One card and it was the same as with mine.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

I did and they told me that no is is not IMEI blocked form T-Mobile, looking at the following picture does everything looks normal to you?
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Maybe the back cover needs to be changed, defective. That's where all the signal comes from.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
The radio number looks smaller than usual, its usually twice the size of the you have on that screen ****, have you tried flashing a new radio via hboot?
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I was thinking that when you run the RUU the to reinstall everything the phone was getting the radio too.

How do I go about updating the radio? Seems the phone is not rooted anymore and the bootloader is locked, so how to flash the radio?

I am sorry for being a pain for everyone, right now I am in the T-Mobile store and they tried my similar on another Sensation phone and it worked perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
as far as I am aware you just put the radio file found and downloaded from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178143

(look for the one with a similar number and always check the md5 hash case to check the file is not corrupted

put the zip file in the root of ur sd card and follow the instructions in hboot, as far as I am aware it doesnt need to be rooted to perform this, i may be wrong though

best of luck!
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
The radio looks normal, mine shows the same. What I notice is you have s-off and it says *Locked* just above that. What exactly is locked? Maybe it is simlocked in H Boot?
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Thanks will give that a try and post the results.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
thats just because HTC updated the boot loader allowing you to officially unlock it via their website
[HTC Sensation] leyvatron:
What he said....

The back cover holds the contacts to the antenna.... check and clean all the contacts on the phone and back cover. I think this should work.... or call HTC and get a free back cover for free.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Make sure those contacts are CLEAN AND not bent. If they dont make contact with the contacts on the phone, NO SIGNAL AT ALL. I took my cover off to clean the contacts and my signal died 100%. It showed the exact same thing.

If it were me, id be looking this punk up for a refund.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] nexicon:
Bro. Everything you buy from craigslist is role AS IS. why would you expect any different? ! ? He was supposed to check it on the spot before anything yet he didn't. That is the risk involved. I've done hundreds of transactions on craigs to know what i'm talking about. Plus i've also been scammed intentionally and. It hurts. Just teaches you to be smarter.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Went to the store and the sales associate was kind enough to open a new box and replace the back cover and after that the phone was unable to connect to any network.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Will follow your suggestion and check the pins that make contact with the SIM card.

The guy doesn't responds to email or text now, so I guess I am on my own now; bought another Sensation on the T-Mo store and hopefully I can get this fixed to either sell it back and recover the investment or give it to my wife.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
Flash back to a stock rom and do a warranty exchange tell them the phone won't power on and they will send you another one

-----------
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Sounds good but because I bought it from craiglist T-Mobile will not replaced.

It is flashed to stock ROM and fully updated with the OTA.
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
Trust me, I've bought several used phones and did the warranty exchange. Those phones come from HTC the phone has a one year warranty. Tell them the phone will not power on. Do it over the phone not in store.

-----------
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
On the phone with HTC right now, they will repair it YES!

Will let everyone know you guys how it goes once they call me with diagnosis or receive the phone back.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Yeah but because they see the HD2 on my account not the Sensation they don't want to do it.

HTC will repair it hopefully.
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
Well I hope the guy used Revolutionary to S-Off and not the HTC Dev tool because they will have record and charge you for the repair :(

-----------
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I hope too, BTW- what is the easiest way to root this phone? I bought another NEW at the T-Mobile store :)

And want to root it ASAP.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Nope, if it was sold as working then that is what it is to be sold as. For that much money, id go to the cops about it. Or, I would find who he is and take his butt to small claims court. Ive been around this block and nothing gets your attention like a notice to appear.ESPECIALLY if he is NOT a us citizen!

Matt
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
The easiest way to root is on this website (revolutionary) http://revolutionary.io/

after doing that then be sure to flash the SU in recovery I attached the zip Also once your SIM card has been used in the NEW Sensation you can then do the WARRANTY exchange and send in the OLD one...
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
Sigh, unlocking via HTCdev does not throw your warranty out the window in a case like this.

HTC unlock is most likely not the cause of no signal. Your warranty will still be honored.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Good news and music to my ears, the previous owner unlocked the bootloader using Revolutionary.
[HTC Sensation] leoni1980:
Why on earth did this guy buy another phone? That was just silly. All these pointless posts about trying different ROMs and radios and going to the shop to source a different back cover, yet if he established the phone wasnt stolen or blocked, returned it to stock and rang HTC they would have had a courier pick the parcel up from his house, sent it to an authorised repair centre and returned it back to him fully fixed within a week. Do people not take advantage of their warranties any more? I appreciate this community's love of Modding but it seems that at no stage anyone had the good grace to recommend this sensible course of action to the poster.

I've had three second hand HTCs repaired for free by HTC, all purchased second-hand from eBay. This Sensation is off for its second repair this week for dust under the screen.
[HTC Sensation] newter55:
You bother to read the whole thread?
[HTC Sensation] amir.elmeligy:
You can get the ruu from the roms thread in the development forum
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I got a second one because either my wife will keep the first one after it's repaired by HTC or I will sell it on Craigslist.

They sell good here and this one even have the bags for the USB, the charger and headphones sealed and it's in perfect physical condition so maybe I can make some extra $$ funding part of what I paid ($200) for the second one.

Hello all i just got this LG optimus one with a red ring around the edge from Koodo and it came with FW version V10v then i flashed Mik's CM7.1 ROM and forgot to do a NAND backup and now my baseband isen't working properly and was wondering if anybody knew where i can find a Baseband that actully works and will work with my phone

Man this phone is alot harder to mod and stuff then my Nexus S
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hsingh1993:
try miks baseband fix at first everything seems harder but then its easy.

try to refer drnotor flashing baseband thread or daxelectro flashing baseband thread it will help you and your problem will be solved.

they have the baseband file included in the thread
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
I don't think you need to flash baseband. The firmware you mentioned and Mik cm uses same baseband. Its just version 20x series that come with new baseband. Btw, there is a thread on original Nand back up also. Just download the backup and restore.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13990818

But first you should try to Reflash.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CptKlink:
I have tried reflash and i also tried Matts CM 7.1 mod and both are the same it shows a baseband of V07u-000-000-MAR-23-2009 i can still get calls and texts but no data and i found that thread about the stock nand back up but thats for the indian version or does that not matter
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Check your apn settings. And yeah, nandroid backup is for an Indian ROM. But there are only 2-3 Indian apps which you can always uninstall via titanium backup application.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spakka:
So, its been well over 2 months since my transformer was reported broken.

Yesterday I was finally offered a refund by Asus themselves after several failed repairs. I accepted that one.

So, I ordered a new one off Amazon (original from different retailer). It's come with a dodgy bezel that doesn't sit flush with the plastic back.

Also there is a chip in the bezel (v.small) which my first transformer only got once its screen was replaced - it seems Asus may be fobbing off refurbished transformers as new.

(it's a B6O)

Anyways, amazon are refunding me and I'm giving up on the transformer, a shame for what should have been a great piece of kit.

Anyways I have an Acase folio case and a power adaptor if anyone in London (or UK) is interested.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zakiay:
Cool story bro.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
I feel bad for you. I honestly wish Asus had better quality control (though I got lucky with mine). This is a pretty great piece of technology, but if I ran into troubles like yours, I'd have ditched it after the 2 months of repairs. Honestly, if I ran into troubles like that, I'd just have gotten an Alienware laptop or something instead of this tablet-netbook hybrid. Good luck though!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] erica647:
Here's hoping the quality control on the upcoming Slider is better... looks pretty neat.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donny_79:

[HTC ChaCha] StevaSRB:
Is there a way to make the screen wake up when I press the end call key?

I really think that the power/lock button is hard to reach and feels unnatural, while the end call key seems perfect for that...
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It should be possible if you have root and you edit the keyboard.kl file.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Would it then not be able to end calls tho?

Out of interest
[HTC ChaCha] StevaSRB:
I hope not! All I want is to be able to wake up the screen along with being able to end calls...

Ok. I've found the keyboard files, but don't know which one should I edit. Can someone point me to a .kl file and the corresponding string I should edit since I'm quite a noob in that area?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
In /system/usr/keylayout/chacha-keypad.kl

# column 2

key 107 ENDCALL - change to POWER but then endcall will not work.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I suppose you could swap them over?

End call with power button instead?

Just a thought
[HTC ChaCha] StevaSRB:
@qbert That is one idea...

@Alex Thanks. I guess there's no way to use it for both?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hmmm, haven't tried it yet

I can see other keys like:

# column 4

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

If you press the volume down button you will notice that the screen turns on (aka wake) so it might be that you can use

# column 2

key 107 ENDCALL POWER or WAKE_DROPPED (which means sleep/lock screen)

It's risky though, what I can see is that when you end a call you will also tell your phone to sleep/lock screen at the same time. It depends how processes are managed and if WAKE_DROPPED is processed first (as having higher priority), you might end up with WAKE_DROPPED all the time and ENDCALL being discarded. I haven't tried any of these so don't point fingers if something goes wrong.

If you do want to switch them then put POWER WAKE_DROPPED for key 107 and ENDCALL for 116.

Remember to do a backup of your rom before changing these.
[HTC ChaCha] StevaSRB:
RESOLVED

Ok. After playing a bit I've finally found a way to make it work for me...

I've left the ENDCALL and added to it: [13xspace]WAKE_DROPPED. I don't think you need to have 13 spaces exactly, but I copied the entry from one of the other strings...

This way it lets me use the END CALL key to end calls and to (only) wake up the screen from sleep (which is exactly what I needed). It will not make the screen go to sleep because POWER and ENDCALL entries are conflicted and will make your keyboard unresponsive...
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
Excellent! Works for me too. Thx Alex.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Thank StevaSRB too, for testing :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] germsandbugs:
Hi All,

Thanks for reading this post.

I have been custom romming my PVT3 for a while now and sofar have been sticking to CM7 nightlies.

Since I was kind of curious where Sense stands right now I decide to try this rom for a change.

Sofar I am liking it, but alas when I install certain apps the give the error "shared library missing" and won't install.

I also received an error about a package error.

It seems to have to do with a missing Maps API, so far I understand.

This should install together with the Gapps zip, but apparently with me it does not.

I'm using the gapps-gb-20110613-signed, but it doesn't seem to do anything?

The usual download selector (you know the one where you select which google bloatware you do want) doesn't come up.

I noticed the all new and shiny market (3.1.3) on this rom. Does that imply I need to use a zip with that market version in it?

Is there not a way to get this "library" to update through the terminal?

I'd really like to tinker with this, but not as long apps are not installing, any help is greatly appreciated.

I've tried a full day to google it, but either it concerns other phones or other roms or is way over my understanding of roms, so if you could help a brother in arms out, it would be greatly appreciated.
