Thanks but there has to be another way.

I font understand why flashing a radio (Telus, i even tried a euro radio), would disabled HSUPA from nowhere and the radio is completely ignoring the build.prop file which has HSUPA enabled.

By searching i saw another user had this problem but no solution was posted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I had to ruu to stock and rerun the hack kit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
THIS!!!!

I had to do the same. I searched and tried everything. I am afraid the only way is to reflash to stock and start all over again. And don't flash any other radios. I have read so many radio threads looking for the solution and most everybody I see worldwide is getting the best results with the stock AT&T radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] clubtech:
I guess that's what i'll have to do.

Is there a specific way i need to flash the radio in order no to lose HSUPA?

I simply used fastboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] clubtech:
I do see other people on this forum who successfully flashed a different radio.

How did they do it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
There is no better radio for the inspire than the stock one. It has no hsupa limitations built in or nonspecific kernel issues, unlike the captivate. Don't flash any other radios, simple solution.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
Is there a way to check which radio we have? What is the identifier of stock radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
Not sure exactly what happens but something gets screwed up somewhere.

Originally I used the Hackerize kit and flashed the original radio. Instead of flashing a Sense rom, I went straight to CM7. Everything was perfect except I did not have HSUPA no matter what I tried. I tried multiple radios and editing build.prop. Nothing worked.

This second time, I used Hackerize again. This time I took the extra steps to flash one of attn1s cooked roms. I booted that and made sure I had HSUPA before moving forward. Then I installed CM7 again and now I have HSUPA. My uploads are faster than my downloads in my area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] clubtech:
OK here is the deal:

1) I RUU back to stock

2) Ran the hack kit again except for the last step i never flashed back to the at&t radio as this is what is causing the problem.

3) I then tested by flashing like 4 different radios (NONE FROM AT&T) and never lost HSUPA again.i flashed 3 euro radio and 1 from Telus both on euro stock firmware and CM7.

There is something with the at&t radio that once you flash it - something gets messed up when you flash another radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
I've flashed the stock radio and the M2 radio back and forth and back. I've never had problems with HSUPA. I just did a speedtest to make sure because I'm back on stock radio and it is 1542down/1347up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psufan5:
The stock radio sounds HORRIBLE... there isnt a better way to increase call quality???? Everything sounds so raspy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Is the audio quality in the radio? I thought it was in the rom. I would have guessed reception quality would be in the radio. Related but not the same
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
dayamn im in this same boat...i flashed the telys radio over the stock and lost my speeds...i get beret reception with the telus radio...so the only way to get my speeds back its to un root and start over?

Sent with my CM7 Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Before you flashed back to stock, did you flash the radio back to the stck ATT radio or when I flash back to the stock ruu, it changes the radio back to the ATT radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Clienterror:
Thanks man! This solves my problem, the only thing is all I did was open the hacker tools and pull out the down graded radio.img and flash it then let it reboot fully then just flash whatever radio to want and you get hsupa again on the modem if your choice. Hope this helps someone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
When you guys get HSUPA back, how do you know? Are you checking Menu>Settings>About Phone>Network>Mobile network type?

I've tried everything but this to get HSUPA and I can never get HSUPA to show as the network type. I'm nervous about flashing a new radio because it sounds like I need Eng S-Off to flash a radio and it seems there is a greater risk of bricking my phone if I screw it up than just with the radio s-off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Awesome, im gonna try that...
[HTC Inspire 4G] shark0807:
How I know if I have it or not is when I run a speed test, if my average upload speeds in 3G or "H" are less than 1 mb/s, I do this by using the speedtest.net app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
you will never get HSUPA to show. someone smarter than me can explain why. You'll will only see HSDPA, UTMS, GPRS. you'll know if you have HSUPA by doing speed tests.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
Well, that makes more sense. I was going crazy trying to get that to change. So just ran a speed test with the speedtest.net app and I got 2316 down and 1559 up. It looks like I have HSUPA enabled after all.

One more question, if you don't mind. I'm using Android Revolution 3.0 and the radio he has linked below the download links (I believe it is the telus radio). If I flash back a stock AT&T radio and use attn1's rooted stock ROM, am I going to lose HSUPA? It sounds like the stock radio may be trouble.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
I just tried to flash the down graded radio then the tellus radio and my up speeds are still caped to .30 mbps...help please...
[HTC Inspire 4G] sicmadek:
i am on the core rom and i flashed a couple of radios. all were successful except now there is no data icon next to my signal bars. im gonna try flashing the new stock optimized rom to see if that fixes it but who knows.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Okay now I'm getting frustrated...i had speeds over 1.5 with cm7, until I flashed the telus radio...so then I unrooted, rerooted and I'm stol capped at .30mbps up load...sup then I tried to just flash the down graded radio from the hack hit then flash a radio of choice...that didn't work...then I flashed a stock rom that was rooted,hsupa enabled and all...that didn't work either...what are you guys doing to get back your speeds...help please...or what an I doing wrong...thanks in advanced...

[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
Flashers -- how has your experience been with Telus M2? Seems like a better performer for me on stock. Faster downloads and faster switch between wifi and 3g. It got stuck on E which was fixed by a flightmode toggle and it went right back to H.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Okay well it has been a head ache for me, but i finnaly got it back...this is what i did...

i just ran the hack kit, straight on CM7...and flashed the stock att rom optimized thats in the forum and i got my speeds back, gps is fixed down to 3m...now im affraid to flash cm7 again and im not evne gonna mess with the telus radio...since that is waht gave me this head ache...i was trying to get a better fix on my gps, but i had the candy speck case and that was the culprit of the bad gps fix signal...

should i be oaky to flash cm7 nightlies??? and stay with the stock att radio...i have had better reception with the stock att over telus...in hawaii anyways...

[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I used the hack kit last (I've rerooted several times) and experienced this as well. While I think the stock radio is the culprit I don't think it's the gui.

[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Correct, it is the stock radio getting flashed back on that causes the loss of hsupa. I just points to bubby's because that is what I used and it flashes back the stock radio at which point hsupa is broken.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Yeah I think our issues are a little different but related. I've used both methods many times but the hack kit most recently. The hack kit flashes the stock radio back as well but HSUPA remains in tact. When I flash anything else HSUPA breaks.

[HTC Inspire 4G] timjc:
I noticed this problem every time I flash a new radio. First time it happened, I panicked and considered flashing back to stock and re-root. I found out that running the speedtest right after a radio flash disabled HSUPA....temporarily. A simple soft reset brought back HSUPA (upload to 1.3-1.5). I have flashed multiple radios using the same procedure and speed came back after a soft reset...

Btw, I reboot to HBoot and use radios posted in this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Try the hack kit, but instead of flashing the stock radio back, try one of the newer ones. That's what I have done and it works great. Maybe flashing the stock radio maintains hsupa, but flashing something after it breaks hsupa.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dog77k:
I was having the same issue. It turns out for me that whatever radio I have installed when I flash back to the stock(ish) rom will work for HSUPA fine. But if I flash the radio again, even with the stock rom still installed, no HSUPA, back to ~300 kbps. Strange, but at least I know the work around now. Hope this helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I did the hack kit and it flashes the downgraded radio. I stopped it before it flashed the stock radio back. So from the downgraded radio I have flashed multiple newer radios multiple times without issue. The key is I never flashed the stock radio back at any point.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diesel_fan:
Here is what helped me to get speeds back:

Dial *#*#4636#*#* -->Phone information---> tap menu on the phone--> select radio band. After changing to USA Band i got good down/up results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I tried that before all of this and it didn't work for me.

Is there anyone out there with non-functioning hsupa that can try the radio downgrade I posted above?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmbneaf:
I was able to get my HSUPA back by re-running the Ace-Hack-Kit.

Only way that found to work.

[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Me too, but I am trying to find out what specifically in the downgrade process of the Ace kit is actually fixing it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Negative ghost rider, this does not fix it. Just tried :'( FFFFFFFUUUUUU
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Thanks for trying. I believe I may have found the real culprit. In addition to flashing the downgraded radio, we need to downgrade the RIL afterwards. See this thread for checking which RIL version you have: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12858315&postcount=21

If you and others could do that it would help me determine if this is the real cause.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I may have found a RIL to flash that fixes the problem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12859219&postcount=22

I have the same ril as you, 2.2.0014G (Sep 24 2010, 19:08:27)
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Son of a...

Well damn I officially give up for now. At least I learned something right? Also I think I have found a newer RIL that nets me the same speeds but so far seems to have considerably less power draw on idle. If that turns out to be the case I will post more about it.

By any chance did you reboot twice after flashing the radio, and run multiple speed tests? I know certain things like build.prop changes take 2 reboots to take effect usually.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Just tried, still no dice :/ This blows. Gotta go allllll the way back to RUU stock >:(
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
have you tried flashing the downgraded telus kernel? Its in the Hack kit thread. I'm not sure what would happen if you installed it on to Gingerbread since its Froyo though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zachs_xda:
It wasn't as painful as I imagined when I did mine.

I just ran the hack kit over the ROM I had at the time (it shouldn't matter what ROM you have currently as the hack kit will override it -- with my phone still in Eng S-OFF). Instead of flashing back the stock radio, I went for the latest in DHD thread (the one from unknown source). All in all, took me about 15 minutes.

Remember to flash your radio using the 'safe' method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
after HOURS of trial and error and flash and flash and blah blah

i RUU back to stock

ran the hack kit and did not finish the last step

booted clockwork and flashed cm7.0.0 final and gapps right away

the radio was still poor, no fast uploads

i immediately flashed the radio 26.06.04.14 md5: f964b25bda91dd377c78b54ce46fdd7b

i have never seen my phone upload speed test so high, and i am testing from my house in the hills that gets poor reception always.. the reception is great and the upload is great.. i cant wait to test it at work, i actually work for an at&t retailer and its right in a hspa+ area

cant believe i finally fixed this, so many different bandaids out there that didnt work.. at&t sigh
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Awesome :cool:, I still can't understand how some people flash radios and never lose HSUPA. Everytime I flash a different radio I have to flash back to stock and reroot to get it back as you did, Major PITA. I would only do this if I was absolutely certain I would see a performance gain. Considering where I am and AT&T's reputation in my area I honestly believe that no radio in the world would improve my data speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dog77k:
Same here. Every time I flash a new radio I lose hsupa no matter which rom I am currently in. I then have to wipe, and restore my recovery stock rom to get hsupa back. Then I can flash any rom without losing hsupa, I just can't touch the radio again.

It's frustrating, but I'm happy with the latest test radio, and at least I know a consistent, although annoying, workaround. Guess I'll let this one go. sigh

Ok, so let me get this straight, the only way back to the good speeds I had before flashing my radio is to basically do this:

Then re-root, re-S-OFF, goldcard, the whole mess and then I can return to CM7?

If this is the case, the thud you hear soon will be my foot kicking myself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
You don't have to re s-off or remake the gold card. S-off remains when you flash back to stock and the gold card you had originally will still work

Those of you who just want HSUPA back and the stock radio you can flash this rom in Hboot, rename it to PD98IMG. Details are in the OP.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965634

This is a stock rom with the stock radio. I confirmed it does work. You don't have to flash back to stock and reroot IF you just want HSUPA and the stock radio back.

As a side, I tried to unpack it and stick in a newer radio but HSUPA remained broke. It only works with the stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baronmax:
<kicks himself squarely in the rear>

What a pain in the butt...uh, figuratively speaking, this is going to be. I had just gotten CM7 set up PERFECTLY, with everything precisely where I wanted it, fixed all my contacts so they weren't a giant clusterf*ck (excuse my french), set up a nice theme, set up all the widgets just how I wanted them, got the correct shortcuts where I needed 'em for maximum time savings... I literally spent 5 hours getting things perfect not one week ago.

I'm an idiot for flashing another radio anyway, I was hoping to get better battery life, but it stayed the same. Hell, my battery life wasn't THAT bad to begin with, I was just being greedy. My motto in the past has been "if it ain't broke, 'improve' upon it until it is". I think I'm gonna go back to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Grr.

<kicks himself again for good measure>

...<and again>

I'm gonna go put on my dunce hat, sit in the corner and think about the hell that is coming tomorrow morning when I have to start over again from scratch.

Have a nice evening everyone and thanks for your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dog77k:
Just do a nandroid backup on your current setup, flash the radio you want going forward, and flash the stock rom to enable hsupa, the restore your current rom. still a pain in the ass but not that bad. Cheers

I can't seem to get this fixed. Can anyone outline the steps in an easy way?

I never had 4G (the H+) symbol before I rooted my phone. However, now I know for sure that there is 4G in my area (Houston) because my friend has the same phone, but it's unrooted, and she has 4G. Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dog77k:
You should have at least had the 4g download speeds. I have not heard of anyone that is having trouble with hsdpa. Rooting and flashing radios is causing problems for only hsupa. I'm also in houston and I get the "H" network most of the time I'm outside (before and after rooting). With full bars and hsupa enabled, I get 3.2 Mbps down and 1.3 up. Sounds like you are having other issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
Fixed finally

i just wanted to confirm with the OP that his method WORKS

i was STUCK with no hsupa forever! nothing i did worked! i tried flashing multiple radios but its true: once you flash back that stock radio (step 5 in hacker kit) it some how puts a write protect on hsupa meaning even build.prop editing wont fix it.. even flashing diff radio wont fix it.. you have to skip step 5!!

RUU back to stock

then do the hack kit step 1, 2, 3, and 4

skip step 5!!!

once you get to step 5, just flash your favorite ROM instead.. after than, flash a new radio of your choice (not the stock ATT radio!!!!!)

enjoy!

i can confirm that i did ALL the steps out there and nothing worked except this..

i have since then flashed 3 different radios, all worked good but now i am using that new "unknown source" radio M3.. i know i know "dont use it it's unknown source" but come on, its built for new desire coming out, its leaked, its working better than the others,

it doesnt brick your phone

so why not use it if its giving you better calls, data, GPS, and battery life?

if you want my honest opinion i think it is a real unreleased desire radio that is being worked on a tested by at&t and they secretly leaked it on this forum to see how it is working on a hidden live beta-test

look at the versions on it too, clearly just an updated test radio for a desire that is yet to be released, S i think

also confirming that my speeds before and after fix:

downloads were always about the same - 1.5mbps to 3.0mbp before and after

uploads changed dramatically - 0.30mbps before, 1.30mbps after
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
so this was working great until today.. looks like at&t really disabled the hsupa from the cell tower end this time?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I'm doing this now as I recently lost HSUPA as well. Running the RUU now. When doing the Hack Kit and I get to install the shipping radio can I just go into hboot and flash whatever radio I want instead of using the hack kit?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
How do you know if you lost HSUPA
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
If your upload speed never exceeds 384k then you lost HSUPA.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
I think the little H vs. H+ makes a difference, correct? Or does it not matter? It's all very confusing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
None whatsoever. It is purely cosmetic on AT&T sourced ROMs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Depends on what ROM you have on your phone. Oh and its at&t's way of making you believe you're on "4G"

From what I have heard, Desire HD roms that are running on the Inspire 4G wont show H+.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
That would make sense then. (No pun intended). I'm running the Android Revolution ROM. I didn't notice any major speed changes, but I've read different stuff saying the H+ means it's MEGASUPEROMG fast, and the H means it's not as fast. Argh! Thanks for clarifying that. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Well I just followed the directions and successfully unrooted the phone then rerooted the phone and instead of flashing the stock radio I flashed the radio that was working perfectly for me. Now reinstalling CM7 and all my stuff and will test the speed or lack of when I can lol. What a process this has been all due to a stupid decision to try a new radio even though mine was perfect.

Edit: My HSUPA has returned thanks to this thread!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Thanks so much for this work around! It's a PITA but it works.

FWIW, I replaced the Radio.img for step 5 with the one I wanted to try and went on w/ step 5 then restored from nandroid. :)

HSUPA's back, now if I could only get my GPS to work reliably.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I think we did the exact same thing because I swapped radios too instead of the garbage stock radio and it was a big PITA as well having to do so much just for a simple feature.

As far as GPS goes check out This thread. I loaded the North America.zip through CWM and it has helped big time for me on CM7!
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
glad it helped.. yea its a tedious process but once you know how its painless.. i actually did it a few times because i thought i lost HSUPA again but it was a tower near my office apparently lost its backhaul so the speeds dropped.. i get the HSUPA in most other areas still though

as far as the GPS issue;

follow this guys link, i cant believe his fix isnt automatically embedded into CM7.. it literally FIXES your gps because without it, your gps is literally BROKEN.. download the zip for your region and flash with CWM. profit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
at&t stock rom will always show H+ no matter what.. very deceitful

CM7 shows you truely where you are, edge will be E, 2g will be G, 3g is 3G, and '4g' is H+

i notice my network switch quite often if the signal is low (i.e in the valley or hills)
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
guys go over to the Dev forum and look for the new ruu that came out with new version of radio. flash that then restore your backup. of your favorite mod and you'll now have hsupa working. mine was always broken till I did this. no need to reroot. heres the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
