Just flashed to a new rom yesterday and now my phone is completely incapable of getting a signal.
I've flashed plenty of roms and they've all worked fine until flashing to a 21889 rom yesterday (firestormLeo v5.5). Not a single bar of service since. Text messages don't get received and no data either.
I reflashed, hard reset after the flash, updated the radio, flashed back to an older rom that worked, and hard reset again.
Nothing works! I now have a completely unusable phone (phone-wise). It completely works otherwise (music, sync to pc, wifi etc) although it does seem to get warmer than usual. I'm assuming that's because it's trying to grab a signal or something.
Anyone have any ideas on whats going on?
I would try flashing the original rom/radio that came with your device including removing the spl and seeing if that fixes it.
If that doesn't fix it, then you are all prepared for warranty service.
If it does fix it, then you can reflash your favourite rom and it should still work. But sometimes flashing an official rom can fix things. I know back with my Kaiser it was advised to always flash an official rom between switching from an unofficial to another unofficial.
thanks for the suggestion!
just did all that and now i'm on stock rom and removed spl but it still has zero signal/service.
i bought this tmo tp2 from craigslist so i'm not sure if i'm covered by warranty. where do i go to get this fixed? or am i screwed
anyone else have any idea whats going on?
I had a similar problem with you(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616426), and have been waiting for some reply since last night, though got none, but the problem disappeared on it's own.
I continuesly flashed and flashed official ROM's and Radio's, totally gave up at the end, charged the battery to 100%, removed battery and let it like that for 5 hours, did an hard reset, and well, working as well as new.
It's a T-Mobile version as well, though my problem was losing signal continuosly and asking for PIN again and again every 5-10 mins. HTC support offered me to use another SIM card today, since I asked what could I try last night, though I didn't have the need for it =)
A lot of roms do not come with a radio so you may have to get one and flash it. If you put stock rom back on make sure it has a radio as well. Make sure the radio matches the rom and the ril.dll is the right one.
I have not had the problem but have read about others flashing new roms and no signal only to find out they had to write a radio as well.
i'm certain i have the radio flashed on it and it isnt the problem.
just took the battery out and hoping it'll somehow fix itself in a few hours.
I would also recommend to flash the shipped stock rom. Go to htc's support/download page and download the rom they have for the t-mobile touch pro 2.
If that doesn't work, take it in for warranty with t-mobile. I purchased a used at&t tilt off craigslist and had an issue with it. Took it into at&t's device support center and they replaced it no questions asked.

I just swapped my phone out and received a new phones. now with the old phone which was the one i originally purchased, I could send a 4-6mb song via bluetooth in about a minute and a few seconds on Stock Verizon Rom, and on my rom im using at the moment The latest Mighty Rom Sense 2.1
Now on my replacement device ive tried on stock rom and The latest mighty rom it sends the files almost 10x slower if they go threw at all. Alot of times it goes at like dial up like pace when trying to send files over bluetooth...even small cab files that used to send on my old phone in under 20 seconds takes forever to send if they go through at all
when the files fail to go through it says Connection failed or lost
is it something wrong with my replacement device's bluetooth or is there something i can do to fix this issue? im thinkin about calling this in for another replacement
Do a hard reset and try again and/or go back to stock verizon 6.5 rom and try on it. If the stock rom is slow then the phone has issues.
Before going all the way back to a stock ROM, you might want to check and see if the ROM you're using has a different radio version than the stock one, that could be the source of degraded BT performance. Try whatever one came with the stock ROM, and see if it clears up the issue...if it does, then you should be able to keep the ROM you like, and just use the stock radio.
well im on my second replacement now i went all the way back to stock verizon 6.1 rom because i was having the same issues with the second replacement they sent me....slow bluetooth file transfer
im on stock verizon 6.1 now and im trying to pick up a samsung omnnia 2 but i cant pick it up at all and when the omnia 2 tries to pick me up it can find me but the pairing doesnt go through
the rom version is 1..18.605.6
the radio version is 1.87.00wv
is it a faulty device? is there anything i can do with the bluetooth to fix it?
EDIT:
ok im assuming it was a issue with the radio that comes with verizon's 6.5. Now when i went to 6.1 and then back to my custom rom it worked fine just like before. But for some reason i could not find the omnia2 ill have to test that with a different device and see if it works with my earpiece and other phones but so far so good hope that helps if anyone else is having these problems
I have a ATT TP2/Stock Radio and have been flashing ROMs for a long time... I recently flashed to the latest ENERGY rom and after a day or so the weather for "My location" quit updating?
I figured it was a bug so I flashed to another one of his ROMs. (I always have used his ROMs from my 1st flash) The phone will not find a GPS signal to update my location. I went back to a tried and true oldler version of Energy, which worked in the past and still no "My location" weather?
Google maps cannot locate any satilites either?
I flashed back to 1st ATT stock ROM loaded google map, searched my location and it worked... So they phone is still working properly.
Flashed back to ENERGY ROM and back again to no "My location" weather or google map GPS?
I have tried everything I can think of please help...
Perhaps you have already done it, but have you performed a task 29? If not try that, then flash your rom.
Both the My Location and GPS issues are discussed (with possible solutions) in the Energy ROM FAQs, Post 6 (of the Energy ROM thread) Section 3 "Solutions to Issues":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4579513&postcount=6
"My Location" is derived from cell tower information, not GPS. Issues with My Location may be a function of the cell tower at your local area, either low signal strength, or just not passing the proper info to your phone. If you travel to a location a few miles away (or farther) do you still get no location?
I have the ATT Tilt2, same as you, and have flashed Energy ROM many times (including most recently Oct. 8), and have never had an issue with either My Location or GPS. There are some ATT-specific solutions you can try, listed in the FAQ. Also, updating to the newer radio (one shown in my signature) may help.
Will do...
I do perform Task 29- Thanks for the reply
I will read more about the it from the Energy thread. Thanks for the reply...
That is the ROM I started having issues with.
OCT.8 Cookie Rom- Flashed and just like normal everything was fine. Drove out on a job for work and everything was good, later got back to my shop in and looked at the phone and it was stuck on the other city,kinda like it hadnt updated since. Tried to update and it just would time out? So I Hard reset the phone and it never loaded the My Location... Full signal indoors and out.
One of the guys I work with has a TP2 as well and he asked me if google was working. I tried to locate me on the map and it says "Your location is temporary not avial." When I try to update the weather from the tab it says "No updates are avail."
I dont know? Im downloading the new ATT ROM now and will, see what it does.
I was told that it will update my radio.
Ive never flashed my radio, and dont know much about it or what exactly it does to upgrade it. I am going to try to read more tonight when I get off work.
Thanks, If your have any inputs/questions I will get back ASAP...
Dont know?
Well the new ATT ROM is on the phone working fine...? As soon as it booted the weather on the Sense popped up with my city... I cant figure out why other roms arent working.
Im going to flash again to Energy soon... Maybe tonight or tomarrow; Battery is dead and have to let it charge. Besides Ive flashed some many times im tired of messing with it.
If anyone has any ideas on what my issue may be please help.
Thanks-

The stock ROM works fine because it does all the work for you. It preforms a task29 as part of the process. If you don't know what that is, it's a tool that erases and formats the internal memory of the device. It also flashes the radio and the ROM in the same program. Basically, all of the things you needed to do on a custom ROM, it does for you on the stock ROM.
BEFORE putting another ROM on your device, preform a task29 (search for it in the Rhodium ROM dev section), then flash the ROM. After that, read the FAQ in post #6 of the Energy thread. If that doesn't answer your question, then ask about it in that thread.
BEFORE posting a question in the Energy thread, be sure to read the FAQ. There is a correct way to ask for help there.
IDK, This is wierd
I do know about task29 and perform it before every flash.
So Stock ROM V.2 was working on "My Location" and Google Map... So I was looking around for .Cabs to clean the Stock ROM up and noticed that ENERGY had posted some new ROMS and I downloaded one. I Task29'd and flashed to the new Energy ROM, No fix on Google and weather "My Location" still unable to update or even find my location...?
Task29'd and went back to Stock ROM V.2 and now I'm having the same issue with the stocker?
Does anyone know what could possibly causing this issue? I don't ever get into the Registry or anything. I just flash and go adding the basic .Cabs
I'm at a loss... I would really hate to replace the phone due to this. Everything else works fine it just seems to be a GPS issue...
Any help would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks in advance-- I hope

This to me would seem to indicate that it might be an issue with the cell towers and not your phone, if it works in some locations and not others. Its a pretty common issue, that's why its on the FAQs. For months, my phone would not retrieve the location information from the cell tower near my office, despite 4 bars of reception. But it works fine almost anywhere else. Next time you are driving to other locations, experiment and see if it works better in other towns.
The time out message for weather just means it can't get the weather info over the data connection, it doesn't refer to My Location. The HTC weather server has issues from time to time, so this may have nothing to do with your phone.

If you are running Energy ROM, then the solution to your My Location problem is listed in post #6 of that thread. The easiest solution is to simply disable 3G. My Location is determined from the Cell Towers, not the device. If this solution doesn't work for you, then that narrows the problem down to something you've installed on the device. Try the solutions listed first. If that doesn't work, install a program like Sprite Backup to create an image of your device so you don't loose anything. After backing up, flash the stock ROM and see if, without installing or changing anything, you have the same problem. If it's working like this, then install things one-by-one until you find the culprit.

Flashing the radio is super easy. If you've already flashed ROM, flashing the radio is basically the same process, except it only takes a several seconds. It updates the software on your phone that allows it to connect with the cell network. It resides on a separate part of the memory than the OS, so it usually is not affected by ROM flashes (and vice versa, flashing the radio does not affect the ROM). The newer official ATT ROM is an exception, where they packed the radio in with the ROM. So now your radio is updated to the newest ATT radio. Flashing custom Rhodium GSM ROMs from XDA won't affect the radio, unless specifically indicated otherwise (and I haven't seen any custom ROMs that do that).

There are a couple of custom ROMs that flash radio as well. I don't recall which, but be sure and look before flashing!

Thanks, good to know. Of course, we always read the ROM instructions thoroughly before flashing!
Narrowed Down...
Thanks to all that have helped so far...
Ok after reading the last few post I have somewhat narrowed down the issue.
Okay, Yesterday I flashed the New ATT ROM so I have the upgraded radio-
Discouraged after I lost the "My Location" with the stock ROM and its differences between Energy(I guess I got spoiled by it) I flashed back to a later version of Energy.
CajunFlavoredbob- Thanks for recommeneding me to try disabling 3G and see if it works. Well it did, I dropped to the Edge network full signal and it picked up pretty quick both on "My Location" Weather and Google... Switched back to 3G and issue came back.
So I read post#6 from the Energy forum and one user says for him he used
"FF ATT Nokia aGPS Settings" I am using something I think is similar to that it is "FF Google aGPS Settings Generic" but I guess its not work aswell as it should or at all? So I am going to try to find this other .Cab and install it and see if this works.
Somewhat narrowed down, with the issue but feel like I am getting somewhere
Thanks to all for help so far! I will keep you guys updated...
No luck...
Okay well I got 3 .Cabs from I believe Fone Fanatic and another one from this guy I work with and no luck?
Any other ideas on what I can do?
Hello all,
I just received my shiny new HOX yesterday and it was working very well at first, however last night I updated it to the latest firmware (with Sense 4.1) and now it will not connect to the mobile network at all (no bars, won't find any networks when I manually search). I have noticed that it seems to be stuck in airplane mode.
Under airplane mode in the settings page it says "off", then a few seconds later it will say "turning off...", then it will go back to saying "off" and then back to "turning off.." and so on. I think it must be a bug in the firmware because I have tested the sim card in another phone (worked fine), and it was working fine before the update.
The only way to see if it is a bug in the firmware (as far as I am aware) would be to install a different ROM. However, I cannot find any way to install a new ROM (custom or stock) without unlocking the bootloader and therefore voiding the warranty (which I don't want to do in case it turns out to be a hardware issue).
I should also add that I could return the phone, but I would like to leave that as a last resort because I live in the middle of nowhere and trying to post stuff if a pain in the ass (and expensive).
I have also tried both a hard and soft reset, with no luck.
This is my first HTC device so I don't really know what I'm doing (although I have plenty of experience rooting and flashing my S2)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
same prob
i've the same problem since the last update. hope it will fixed soon.

I'm glad I'm not the person having this problem . Does anyone know if it is definitely a firmware issue? (I might feel more confident about flashing a custom ROM if that's definitely the problem)
Anybody?
Maybe something went wrong with the OTA flash?
First thing HTC will do is flash the RUU to ensure it's back to stock. It will delete all your data, but it's worth a go.
You can use adb backup.
I probably messed up my phone right when i flashed a radio.img
I honeslty didn't know what I was doing and need major help. I can place calls and calls will go through but i am not hearing anything through the speakers nor can they hear me.
I went back to the toolkit and just flashed everything back to stock but still has the same problems at the moment =(
need help please!
okay, after couple flashes... i can at least hear the others voice but my mic is not working at all. what can fix this issue?
What kind of radio did you flash? One that was for your device, i.e. a gsm radio on a gsm device, or a cdma radio on a verizon device? Maybe it's something simple like lint in the microphone hole. You phone's status connects to your mobile network? Try a recording program to see if its limited to the phone.apk, or if its all microphone input. If not, did you try wiping caches and even a factory reset? Maybe you'd need a reflash of the system.img, if you have not reset it since flashing an (assumed) incorrect radio.

I flashed the one specifically for my phone. The verizon Gnex and the radio was for the LTE. I took the radio.img from the verizon samsung galaxy nexus development section as well.
After that I booted it to recovery, did all the steps like wipe cache and dalvik and installed the custom rom, gapps, kernel, and then the radio.
Would that have triggered it?
Are both the custom ROM and radio 4.2.2and for Toro?
Did you clean flash the ROM?
Did you restore apps via titanium?
Does the error happen is you don't have any apps installed?

I am having intermittent issues where I can't hear anyone nor can I play back videos or music either. It sounds like our issues are similiar. I am on a VZW gnex and I went from stock, unrooted, locked, 4.1.1 to the OTA leaked 4.2.2 and my phone has been crazy ever since. My keyboard will go up and down and up and down randomly, my speakers won't work randomly, and my phone freezes up occasionally. Have you tried flashing the 4.1.1 radios back? So far I haven't went back to 4.1.1, because I don't want to wipe my phone.

The rom and radio was for the 4.2.2 and specifically for the Toro.
I did a clean flash, making sure everything was wiped and formatted before flashing any roms
I did not restore any apps via titanium as i just wanted to have a feel of the custom rom before adding any extra apps.
i believe it may just be the device's problem... i got a re-manufactured GNex from asurion since my original had a huge crack =(
Just to make sure if anything was wrong, i did a Nandroid back up from my original working gnex and transferred everything over to the new GNex asurion sent me. But nothing seemed to fix the problem

I unlocked and rooted my phone first thing I got it from Asurion. When i had received the GNex, it was on 4.1.1 and i was able to make calls and everything was fine until I tried to flash 4.2.2 . I reflashed it back to stock settings of 4.1.1 and that should have fixed and flashed the 4.1.1 radio back. I even went to the length of making a Nandroid back up from my original cracked GNex and flash it over to the new device and that sure did not help the problem as well.
All in all, I called Asurion that my microphone is broken and expected to receive another device by Tuesday. I even asked if they can send me a brand new one since the refurbished was not working as "new". Hopefully I get a brand new one.
Even though I will be getting a new one, i was wondering why or how this could have happened. Software related or was it just the phone itself that just crapped on me

@mrxtokki - Well, in your case it sounds like you are fortunate and have insurance so you're getting a new device, or at least a replacement. However, in case you were wondering, I think I may have found the solution. It appears as though your phone might have a faulty headset jack which causes the speaker and earpiece not to work. There is an app in the PlayStore called SoundAbout, that can disable wiredheadset detection and keeps the phone strictly on speaker and earpiece. This fixed my problem. Here is the thread that I found the solution from:
Here is the thread:
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/786886
Hope this helps some other soul like me!
Background: Purchased day One and HTCDev unlocked. I ran the Hyperdrive ROM most of the time. Last week I switched to the Ecliptic ROM and ran it for a few days with no major problems.
Problem: On Sunday evening I looked down at my phone and had a little SIM icon on the status bar and no service. Wifi still worked, just no carrier service (data or voice). I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled the ROM without doing any wipes and service was restored. However, I decided to switch back to my backup of Hyperdrive. Everything was fine until about a half hour ago when it went back to no service.
Troubleshooting: I've tried reflashing the ROM without a wipe, with a wipe, flashing a different ROM, all with no success. I'm currently attempting to restore a backup but don't expect anything different.
Plea for help: If you have any suggestions, thoughts, crazy ideas, please share. I'd hate to have VZW replace it and loose my unlocked bootloader.
UPDATE: So I'm delightfully surprised. After doing a restore, my signal is back. I'm very happy about this but now that it's happened twice I'm freaked out that it will happen again. Please share any theories you have.
Same problem
I have my phone unlocked and I've been trying to install new roms onto my phone and every rom i put on i have no service( data voice everything) I've been doing complete wipes, of data, cache, even wipe davike cache.
I've tried CM. and others all same problem no service. I have no idea what I've been doing wrong i follow all the instructions and same thing happens. (I've tried to find service with the phone and it says no sim found enter sim) I also found out my phone is a M7ul which is apparently a GSM (I thought was weird because its a verizon phone which used CDMA) i install m7ul roms that i can find everything seems to be for m7vzw and they still give me no service.
the only way i can get my phone to get service if i go back to the stock sense that came with the phone.
Any help would be appreciated. Yes i am new to this and have been trying to find out what I've been doing wrong and I haven''t found anything sorry for my ignorance.
