Diamond 3G Radio not working after ROM flash

I am hoping one of you bright lights on here can help me with this problem I've been having.
I have a HTC Diamond US 3G version. I purchased it unlocked, and recently flashed over the stock 1.93 ROM to one of the EnergyROM series. I had the usual problem of repeating hard resets because I didn't do a mtty.
So now I've done the mtty, and flashed with a stock 2.03 ROM and done a bunch of tweaking and reflashing. I'm currently using the Gen Y D2 R2 rev Y ROM. One problem that I haven't gotten to go away is that my 3G radio no longer works.
I can use my phone just fine (including data) when its set to GSM network mode, and automatic band selection. But when I change the network type to Auto, or WCDMA, i drop my cellular connection and nothing works. This has been going on for a month, I've gone through many different radios and ROMs and settings. I've gotten Rogers (my provider in Canada) to reset my network profile multiple times.
I would greatly appreciate any help that someone on here could give as I'd love to get back my 3G/HSPA capabilities!

shameless bump

You probably tried this but just in case you overlooked it.. Did you select 3G from your comm manager? There's a switch that you can toggle to switch between 3G on and off.

Have you tried other Radios?
Hi,
Some ROMS work better with different RADIO versions... You can either check witch radio is best for your current ROM or try one of the latest Diamond Radios in the following list:
showthread.php?t=470306
I'm using v1.09.25.23 and it works fine with my current ROM (netDrg 2.8) and had no problem with EnergyROM!
Hope this help!

Thanks for the help.
Yes when i turn on 3G, either on 'auto' mode or on WCDMA mode my phone gets dropped from the network.
Also I have tried many different RADIOs, and two ROMs now.

Some ROM can work out-of-the-box, other one you must try the combo of radio and rilphone. In your case you can search after rilphone and try Raphael rilphone or Blackstone. Raphael is better compatible with Diamond. Btw. I assume you already know your radio must support GSM850 (better use the one radio supported quad-band, you can always try the base radio first 1.00.25.05!)

Sadly I've tried alot of this as well
I have tried these radios;
1.00.25.05
1.00.25.06
1.14.25.05
1.00.25.08
1.09.25.23 (current)
I have also tried to use the Rogers rilphone.dll with my current radio, installed via Captain_Throwback's cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465419)
Should I be trying additional rilphones.dll?
Is it possibe that I broke my 3G by flashing a ROM? If I go back to my original stock ROM will i get it back?

sadly nobody has any other ideas?

Try to rollback.. Reflash original ROM and keep your current radio. If 3G works then it's because of the other ROM you flashed. If it doesnt work after flashing original ROM, flash original radio. If it still doesnt work (hopefully it will) I think something would be wrong with your hardware then.

Maybe the ROM has hardset the WCDMA freq., like I do in mine.
Try changing this to AUTO in Settings --> Phone
OR Try flashing a radio, and afterwards install the corresponding rilphone.dll

[Q] no cell service on cm7

Hi all I have just registered on xda but i'm using it from quite a while.
I'm using htc wildfire bought from my friend fresh from box it was in Era operator currently t-mobile. My operator is Orange. I was using my phone with stock rom for about 10months and decided to root it and flash custom rom. I used guide from this site and after bricking it second attempt was successful. So I was using CM7 installing apps and all over. And now i have really serious problem. My phone tells me there is no service.
What I done trying to repair:
Changing 2g to 3g and back.
Restart
Factory reset from menu
Factory reset from CWM
Battery pull
dialing *#*#4636#*#*
re flashing radio
Installing newer version of CM7
Some of methods seems to work for about 1-3days. But now none of them is working...
Please help

Ok thanks for really fast reply.
temporarily seem to work factory reset. dialing *#*#... also seemed to work for some time.
My radio is Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 that one was original and i flashed the same version, but I'm not sure if this is the problem.
Now I'm using my old phone so sim card is good.
EDIT:
My wifi is not working. Possible reason: I was playing with reverse tethering and one method via wifi required to put wpa-suplicant or something like that. Maybe this file also corrupted rest of services? GPS works fine...

well, doesn't look to be the radio - but that's just guessing. Did you get those problems directly after rooting and installing CM7 or did it work initially?

After rooting and installing CM7 everything was perfect that was about 4 months ago. Problems with cell service started when i changed my sim card to surf over internet, and then i used notification bar application 2g/3g to force 3g. And since then I have problems, somewhere i read there could be problem with sim connection. Now i'm using my htc without sim card and when i dial *#*#4636 in gsm disconnects: DATA State DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 00:59 fail because No Error. And What I noticed when i wanted to change network type in this menu it was returning always to previous state... What is interesting my phone tells me that signal strength is: -79dBm 19asu.

i suggest to carefully check your APN settings and try out the different modes for mobile data (force wcdma might fail in some conditions if I'm correct - check prefer and the other modes, too, if they'll do)

APN settings are correct. I checked them on orange site, on many forums and tried them all. Currently my phone runs wdcma preffered. Now i'm about 20-30m from the transmitter. And still "no cervice". Any other ideas? Somebody told me to install stock rom and then install cm7 on it. But i have no idea how to do it. I can't remember i wrote this before but wifi is working. Sim card is good but i'm using it on nokia 6030. I tried even to put some paper to push harder sim card to better contact and no result.

Hmm, so if you double checked the apn settings and you did activate data in settings/network& wireless and if the SIM seems to be ok it's indeed a good idea to flash a different radio... look at the index thread linked above - all the files and information there. Try the radio that ends with 18.25 (bear in mind to use clockworkmod 2.5.x for flashing).
If that still doesn't work, just flash the current one again to see if that will do (radio problems usually are caused by the missing possibility to wipe or format the radio partition itself).

Have you tried to restore the backup of your stock rom with the new sim?
This may solve the problems associated with Sim Toolkit
If everything works you just have to do a clean install of CM7
is an attempt, but if you do not know what else to do ... (I would try) :silly:

Ok. My friend have htc wildfire on stock ROM. I would like to make copy of his ROM. I know i need to s-off his phone, push revolutionary recovery, and just make backup? If I'm thinking right this would give me zip of his ROM that I can copy to my SD-card and install it like other ROMs?
Thanks in advance for repy.

If you are s-off then download the first rom in this post, drop it on your sd card and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then boot into hboot and let it update. When your phone boots up again it will be stock but still s-off so you won't need to mess about unlocking everything again.

[Q] Why would I want to install Radio 20.10 if 19.25 is working?

A couple of days back I rooted my wildfire and installed CM7. Everything worked like a charm except for a GPS.
I managed to find the Radio.img version ending in 19.25 which is needed to make GPS work and flashed it over fastboot after installing the Android SDK on my linux machine.
It works and locks to the gps. I'm now going to test it out extensively in the wild and go on a hike. (I'll come back later with the results).
Now my question is: Why would I want to update it to 20.10? Any benefits?
(By the way, bluetooth works as well).
In case it is suggested to upgrade my radio... how would I have to do it?
Would I have to reflash with fastboot or should I first download "Test GPS", clear and upgrade the AGPS data and then reflash radio 20.10?
Thank you!

some radios have network advantages over others IE a radio that gives me great network connection may not give you the same result

[Q] amendify to edify radio error

i am new to this forum , so i could not post my problem in supernova forum, my problem is related to the supernova rom, the built in radio is not good, it has bugs. it cant detect cellular networks, neither 3g nor 2g, fake signal bars are shown. i checked for different network operators. so i thought to update the radio. the latest radio i got 5.17.5.23, but while flushing this rom, it said amendify scripting is depreciated, so i needed to use amendify to edify tool to sign the radio zip. after signing the radio, when flushing for the second time, it said, tmp/radio.img no such file or directory. what should i do now? my phone is no more worthy for cellualr connectivity. :crying: help me.

i recommend to flash radios using fastboot, much safer. extract the radio.img from the zip and check the md5 sum before flashing it, as a bad radio flash can cause a brick.
follow guide to setup and use fastboot. best to read the whole thing.

[Q] Can't Connect to Mobile Network after Custom ROM Flash

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017

Bumping. Somebody please help...Also if anyone has a stock ROM they could share, that'd do fine as well. I'm curious if stock ROM would re-enable the radio (if that's the actual problem).

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode

Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.

Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY
Because I HAD (I actually just reverted back and am currently getting S-OFF to flash a radio) the HTCdev unlock, I manually booted the boot.img after entering recovery and wiping/formatting all the necessary things. Skimming the video might give you a better idea.
However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.
