[HTC Inspire 4G] dbain:
I'm sorry to say that my fist post here is one asking for help, but I would like to say that I'm humbled by, and very much appreciate, all of the work and support that everyone in this forum does! :cool:

I recently acquired an Inspire 4G from a friend and I'm having hell with it. It was already rooted and running CM 7.2 with the 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M Radio, and CWM 5.0.2.0. Apparently it was working fine... I used to call her on it all the time and she never had any issues with it. The problem started when I, in all my wisdom, decided to upgrade it to ICS or Jelly Bean.

Regardless of what ROM or Radio is used, I'm having several problems sending/receiving calls:

- If the phone is locked when there's an incoming call, it will ring, and when answered, there's no sound on the caller's side, as though the MIC is faulty.

- If the phone is unlocked when there's an incoming call, it sometimes rings, and other times the caller will get voice mail. In the event that it rings, and the call is answered, sometimes the caller will have sound, and other times the caller will hear nothing.

- If the phone is unlocked and a call is placed, the initial call will not go through. The second and/or third attempts are usually successful.

In each of the scenarios above, the calls are always dropped. The longest that I've been able to hold a call is 2:13

I'll detail everything that I've done, in chronological order, so that you can see whether or not it's something that I did that caused this. For each ROM that I've installed, I followed the developers' instructions on how to install it.

- Enter Recovery, wipe partitions, install a Jelly Bean ROM

- Discover call audio has a "metallic sound"; Flash "inspiremod-0.5.zip"; "Metallic sound" solved, but discover call issues.

- Attempt to upgrade Radio and failed, whether by fastboot (remote not allowed) or Boot Loader with PD98IMG.zip (nothing ever happened)

- Attempt to gain ENG S-OFF by following this guide: "Gaining Engineering S-OFF" section. I read several articles which said that this was required in order to flash the Radio :rolleyes:

- Thought I bricked the phone, only to discover that I flashed a Froyo hboot instead of a GB hboot :eek:

- Followed this guide to resurrect phone, and it worked... THANKFULLY! Thank you attn1! :good:

- Install several different ROMs, only to discover that the same thing is happening with each one

- Reinstalled CM 7.2 thinking that I would only be able to use GB with this phone... SAME problem!

- Attempt to upgrade Radio via Boot Loader, one more time, and it worked! Not sure why it worked this time. Perhaps due to the new hboot from attn1's tutorial?

Here's a list of the ROMs that I've tried, latest release for each, except for CM:

Blackout

CM 7.2

IceSense

Jellytime

Mokee

Moonraker

NikRoms

The phone is currently running this ROM, with the 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M Radio w/RCDATA from the second post in this thread. The only thing in this ROM that doesn't work is video recording, which I can live without. Other than that, it's flawless, which is why I reinstalled it.

ANY suggestions that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!
