Hi all,

I am in need of some help I had a Branded DHD on 3, which I unlocked for my DAD who is on Vodafone it was working for a good 3 weeks then either said no sim inserted or lost signal a simple power off and back on seemed to fix it.

However more recently it has given up all together no signal and now wi-fi issues.

The phone was rooted and running ICS The Collective rom , my Dad did not like it so I put on a sense 3.5 rom and as above was running no problem up until now :( can anyone advise me if indeed it does need a new radio or is there a simple fix?

I have searched long and hard for a solution but nothing if anyone could help it would be great !!:good::confused:

Which radio do you have? Settings-About-Baseband version
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Flash A new radio and see if that fixes it

[Desire HD General] azztech30:
Cheers I will check the baseband and post, were is this new Radio? and also is there an easier way to flash a new radio on an already flashed DHD?

Thanks again
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Radio's usually come I zip files. Just flash them like you would a new ROM (just wipe cache and Dalvik, not full wipe)

Hi the baseband I am currently on is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M

I have tried to flash a radio with CWM but would say installation aborted? but knowing me I am a bit rusty with the DHD as now on an HTC One X.

If anyone can provide a link for flashable radios via CWM that wold be great the current rom that is installed is GingerSense4 v1.2.

Thanks again in advance:good:
[Desire HD General] Snyper0012:
You need to flash the new radio through bootloader, not cwm. You will need to plug it into your computer and follow the guide on how to flash radio somewhere in the forum

Out of curiosity I checked once I booted into HBOOT and this is what it says at the top??

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

Does this mean its un rooted again? so I will now need to start again?
[Desire HD General] sashank:
It's not un-rooted but S-ON means the security flag is ON. You need to use the AAHK to install an ENG H-Boot with S-OFF, if you want it. It's not really necessary though. The easiest way to flash a radio is through AAHK, if you have no experience of going it before. Read through the AAHK manual fully before doing it. You can't just flash radios in recovery.

It seems you already have the latest radio from the last world wide update for the DHD. I'm going to link you to a newer version, try that and tell me if it fixes your issues. If that doesn't work, I'll link you to an older version which might work. Radios work differently for everyone, depending on the frequencies used in their countries. So it's not a case of 'newer is better' for radios.

New radio (12.68.60.29_26.16.04.09_M) - http://goo.gl/V06BH

Old radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M) - http://goo.gl/jnxBx

Just one thing, BEFORE you flash any of the above radios, just download the corresponding RIL for your 26.14.04.28 radio and flash it in recovery. Run your phone for some time and see if it makes a difference. If you're running a Sense ROM, you need to flash the corresponding RIL for a radio, not so for AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod/AOKP. Similarly, if you flash any of the above radios, flash their corresponding RILs too (I can't find a link to the RIL for the newer radio, but you can flash one for the older radio). You can get RILs from the link below.

[Desire HD General] azztech30:
hi thanks very much! I booted into recovery earlier on today and it said ''Safe Mod''

I then flashed IceColdSandwich summer edition v8.2 because my phone would just sit with a black screen... and nothing still just sits on a black screen now flashed 3 roms still nothing.

I can go into recovery and boot loader but thats it and most of these procedures require the phone to be on I cant get to that stage :crying:

I have flashed many phones from HTC Hero, S2, HD2 etc I now own an HTC One X all find but this DHD is the first one I ever sim unlocked via unlockme.com (or something similar cannot remember)

So really at a loss now any suggestions anyone? :fingers-crossed:
[Desire HD General] azztech30:
Please help me sat down to fix this today .... I've boot this into Fastboot to find my boot into recovery is now missing so I can no way boot phone or into recovery (I think)

Can anyone give me a link etc to fix this? as most guides requires phone to be on??

thanks in advance:good:
[Desire HD General] creepin:
What you are trying to ask is that you are unable to boot into recovery? have you lost your recovery? or you are not having an option in bootloader to go into recovery?
[Desire HD General] sashank:
Have you done the superCID thing? I don't know how to do it exactly but there are guides. Search for them. I'm guessing that may be your issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anuragnigam:
While browsing through emmc, I see this hidden folder android_secure containing lots of apk's, total size appx 400 mb.

Is it OK to delete it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
Well I don't know exactly what the android_secure folder is for, perhaps some sort of backup system or something but I do know that Android automatically generates it whenever it tries to put something into it so if you do decide to delete it, it will come back. However, I don't recommend it because if it does contain information important for apps to run then deleting it obviously would cause them to stop working. Hope this helps :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Those are apps. Probably because they are configured to install to SD by default. Keep in mind if you delete it you may delete apps you have installed if I understand this correctly. Sure the folder will be created but not the files in it. I'd say keep it.

I only used this search once since december.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shiznu:
Maybe Google updated the nexii at the I/ O to pass it out to the devs is the same reason Apple doesn't want it on the nexus it will be in the community and out of their hands....idk my 2¢

ICS already removes most of my favorite features of android. Long press for widgets, a simple settings button.

Didn't hear anyone ***** about that. Now that its something petty everyone is Mega butt hurt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ap3604:
I have spotlight search on my iPhone and have never once used it. I'm not saying no one uses this feature since I don't but life will move on for Android without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
Maybe they just remove the feature from the phones in stores. After you buy it, you'll get an OTA and everything's back to normal. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yeah that would be complicated for Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
Just a thought... so they're saying that root or not you're gonna get the downgrade (unless you're on a custom rom) but surely if you rename a couple of unimportant system files or say, flash a different radio the ota won't stick will it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
You may get the notification, just simply ignore it.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thas5:
Never used that feature to be honest, so it's a price I'm personally willing to pay to prevent a ban. I'm sure some people use it frequently, but I'd think even they'd agree that it's better than getting the phone banned. Ensuring the continual growth of this phone's user base is only beneficial for current owners.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I hope it gets reversed. Universal search is something Android does so nicely. Being able to go in the settings and decide which apps can be included for example IMDB or foursquare so you can initiate search/check-in without first going into the app itself.

I really hope that pending patent for Google in regards to notification drawer eventually goes through. Before iOS implemented that feature I heard quite a fair share of complaints from friends with iphones primarily about how annoying a bunch of pop up notifications can be.

...

Getting more and more reluctant towards Apple. I used to dislike that company due to their religious fanboys, but... After all those pseudo-patent actions... No comments.

I personally use the search-all feature a lot, both for quick contact access (have a couple hundrets of people in my People app) as well as for quick app launch (well, being an app junkie, swiping through all the launcher pages eats hell lotta time) and for web search as well.

As far as I remember, search-all feature was available in old Symbian phones as well, and some implementations were also available in WinMo. How could this be patented by the fruit-company? Getting more and more tired of not-so-brilliant judges granting dumb bans. Judges should cancel dumb patents instead!

(like rectangular shape patent!! how come one can patent a RECTANGULAR SHAPE?! Slide to unlock - ok, nice feature, but how come anyone could grant as generic patent as "unlocking by dragging one object along path to a specific position"?!)

Definitely not seeing the other thread. Its no big deal anyways.

Good to see Samsung (might) get their best device rolling once more. Had they not I would went on an iPhone murder rampage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I have 3 boys, ages 11-15, and not an Apple product in the house - I implemented my own ban long ago. Though now that I've got my Nuxus, I really want to experiment with using it as a desktop replacement, and the demo video I've seen makes Apple's Magic Trackpad look like the ideal way to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Yeah, honestly, I've never used search to find local content on my phone. However, I did use individual applications own search (like contacts perhaps?). I don't think all of this suing Apple is doing is going to have much harm if any.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I totally agree. I'm not a patent lawyer and I don't know the history completely of mobile devices - but - it does seem that older devices had this search-all-content feature before Apple ever did. Remember, Apple implemented this feature back in the 3G days I beleive which was in 2008. Hell, I think the 8320 Blackberry had this feature if I'm not mistaken and was released in 2007 - I'll dig my old BB 8320 out and look for this.

Now, if Apple ultimately wins this case it WILL set a precedent for future cases and allow them to win more easily if they decide to pursue other handset makers. I personally think Google should just include the web-search only interface/widget and then offer up another Search-All widget in the market which would then overwrite the current one installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcimo88:
I wonder if this means that we will no longer be able to do things like initiate a text message or a call by voice. I sure hope not, because I use these features almost daily. It really is a shame that Apple has to have such ridiculous anticompetitive practices. Without competition, everyone will lose in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johninsf:
I occasionally use search and see the results returned from all phone items. While handy and not directly used, I do like this.

My hope is that Samsung does nothing until the trial. If it works the way I have read, any logical design or function can be contested in patent disputes. (E.g. rectangular phone, search means search...not just web search).

This approach protects competitors who are in the same business and work toward logical design. Note that this is my interpretation of what I read and by no means fact.

Google should have bought WebOS for it's patent library. Palm has/had a stack of patents to beat Apple about the head with. Unfortunately Palm sold off a chunk of it's portfolio (to Access, I believe) when it was strapped for cash. HP/WebOS still had some good ones to bandy about.

There's nothing stopping Google from taking this search bar and making it a downloadable app from the market. This way they're not infringing, and users have to opt in themselves.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwhead24:
I'm pretty sure you'll get one once they're back next week. The way this phone was selling these last couple of days they have no choice but to restock up. I'm curious as to how many they sold once they announced that price drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
takju is only for handsets sold via the Google Play store. Plenty of GSM Galaxy Nexus handsets sold in the US are yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afma_afma:
never really used global search as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogerchew:
so has anyone actually gotten the notification to update yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
This is what concerns me. I'm British, and as such the inane ramblings of the US legal system should have no impact on my life. If Google screws my phone, purchased in the UK, due to this then I will be annoyed. However, some research indicates that yakju was mainly for the international (read: European) devices, so I'm unsure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slacker:
The O.P. needs to sue the guy who started the second thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
My question, something I haven't gotten a hint of a proper answer for,is: what about JB/Google Now?

the article on 'the verge' indicates that JB/Google Now is not affected by this at all, in which case this patch is pretty stupid, given 2 weeks later we'll have JB, unless i'm missing something.

if JB/google now *is* affected by it, why don't i see more panicky google folks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
It's a quandry, because the US has on sale both hardware types: maguro (GSM/HSPA+) and toro (CDMA).

The toro handsets are the easiest to talk about, since they're Verizon only. As such, they have their own completely separate fingerprint, this being 'mysid'.

The GSM/HSPA+ handsets are where it gets tricky. So far as I can see (from comments made in the past by Jean Baptiste-Queru, and the Google Factory Images site) the only fingerprints that come officially from Google are 'yakju' and 'takju'.

'takju' handsets are only sold via the Google Play store in the US. These handsets exclusively come with Google Wallet pre-baked into the ROM.

'yakju' handsets are sold pretty much anywhere. The UK got them first (and many people from outside the UK got them on import, but that's irrelevant here) and then the Galaxy Nexus became available in Europe.

Any other fingerprint, including 'yakjukr', 'yakjuxw', etc, is managed by Samsung.

Since the ruling is only valid in the US, one would hope that the only affected fingerprints would be 'mysid' (for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus) and 'takju' (for the Google Play US Store Galaxy Nexus). I guess only time will tell...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] descendency:
What good is local (device) search?

Does this mean we will lose the ability to say things like "Call ...", "Play ...", etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Those are imported from European countries. Since those are not oficially imported by Samsung/Google, it is not their issue to fix that for yakju, as both never meant to sell a yakju phone to the U.S. market... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Netcore Android:
I think it just means that you can't use the search function to search in emails, text messages, calendar, etc. all at the same time anymore.

I never really used that feature though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Most people don't actually use this feature.

But it is part of Android API as well, since any application can place hooks in that search system so that the app can be searched through this 'global search'. It unifies search of Amazon, Kindle, what apps you have installed, browser history, Drive, IMDB, your contacts, music, translations, Wikipedia and so on. It can be really effective at times, but reality is that most users go to the app if they search for something. Global search is a 'poweruser' feature that most people don't use.

It is however idiotic that such a feature is patented and that Nexus was banned because of it. It takes out a feature of Android API that should not be taken out. It is also very unlikely that there is a workaround to that patent, considering that it can be applied very broadly (I would not be surprised if Google's Knowledge Graph will also be affected in the future, since Google 'technically' looks through results of multiple sources as well). And when it comes to broad patents, then Apple has been relatively successful upholding them in the States.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kflan22:
And makes no sense....if rooted use the proper tools and roms so you can do this...I'm sure a search in here would bring you across something to download that will give you the older version with the results from web phone etc...also are you sure it isn't in the settings because I remember coming across the option of what google search will look through when you type....maybe it comes with that option unmarked but you can make search look on the phone if you choose
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yes, that is why they are making fun of it. The poster said Both but mentioned three companies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
Not only is the patent ridiculous, but it's pretty spectacular that they could ban the sale of hardware because it contains particular software. Pretty simple for Google to push a workaround, and make the whole thing look like even more of a farce. Surely Apple must have seen that coming...

As an aside, I don't see what all the fuss is about regarding losing this functionality. That widget is the very first thing I delete from my home screens when I install a new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
yes, I know. I initially put in only Google and Apple, hence both, but then remembered Microsoft but forgot to edit the first part.

now I recalled more companies interested in WebOS but refuse to change the BOTH out of principle; notice, "the two of them" in the last sentence
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radioarizona:
Ordered one from the Play Store Thursday night when I read about the ban, got my phone this morning. When I turned it on it was already on 4.0.4 but I received a software update. No change to the search bar though, so maybe this was nothing? No idea, just figured I'd report in case it was unusual.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android The Greek:
It was an update for 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZen:
It is expected back in the play store by then. Just make sure your uncle orders it immediately on arrival; that one week window is a little tight if the order is placed just before the weekend. Better yet, have a friend or someone who will be your uncle's local contact pre-order a little earlier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
@adrynalyne, Apple and Google have both been granted patents for similar, yet very distinctly different types of HUD systems.

Anyways, before anyone boards the "Paranoia Train", the patent that Apple was granted was filed back in 2006 and mainly consisted of broad descriptions of a device that a user can wear that would project images (eg. movies) from an external source through a display positioned in front of the user's eyes and would have storage for storing said images.

Google was also granted a patent that very clearly resembles the prototype for the Google Glass project in which it would display information that would/could be generated from the device itself. They also went on to describe the device as having "finger-operable input" and would have "computing" and "processor" capabilities to produce the information being displayed.

In all honesty, I don't know why tech blogs are trying to provoke this topic. Apple's patent has been described as "broad" and Google's as "specific". Also, it seems Apple's "patented" device would be dependent on external sources for computation, processing, and relaying of information whereas Google's would be self-contained. I don't think Google Glass is going to be threatened by this other than seeing a similarly designed competitor.
