baseband query

i've flashed a number of radios to my gsm hero, all the raio versions end with a U as in xxx.xxx.xx.eu/xxx.xxx.xx.iu/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxju
currently just flashed the ju radio, but now when i view the baseband version in the settings menu in either modaco or the new kugadroid roms the baseband says 63.18.55.06jh_6.35.08.29
is there anything causin this, or is this normal behaviour?
reason i'm asking is i'm having some wifi problems and trying to locate the cause
(currently turning on wifi on the kugadroid rom causes the rom to reboot, but when i first flashed the baseband said ju, and worked, now it's says jh and reboots the phone)

this happened to me aswell. flashed JU, then suddenly it read JH. if you flash JU again it should read JU again. sorry can't help with your problems, luckily i *never* had any problems with radio whatsoever...

yeah, but it's not just with ju radio, also happens with iu radio and fu radio too.
baseband keeps saying ih,fh or jh (depending on the radio rom)
would love to know what is causing it.
could it be by any chance having the newer spl posted by modaco on nov 24th causing this issue?

not sure. i have the spl too, and it happened to me only once. then again i don't flash radio unless there is a newer version or a rom forces me to use a specific version.

same here. only flash radio rom to update or if new rom requires it.
and now, here's the thing, i flashed with the FU radio earlier, and it's remaining as FU (which is good) but i'm stll getting issues with WiFI -- mainly messages like " Unable to start Wi-Fi", or "Unable to stop Wi-Fi"
it's rather frustrating and i can't seem to find the source of the issue at all.

[Q] Random freezes with ReflexTSenseHD 1.8

I have had freezes after installing the ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 ROM. I cannot seem to find any correlation in those.
Have had it frozen during calls, randomly in the pocket, while connected to usb etc. The only way to get it working is removing the battery.
Sometimes the lights of the buttons stay on and sometimes not.
One time it had frozen either during a call or right after it ended.
I've tried
32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 and
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radios and both the default kernel
925mV -NeoPhyTe-2.6.32.28-Halcyon_HAVS.925_CFS_SLQB_VR_v38 and the non-UV kernel
1000mV -NeoPhyTe-2.6.32.28-Halcyon_HAVS.1000_CFS_SLQB_VR_v38.
I've tried setting the freq to min=max=998 with setCPU, uninstalling autokiller and setting up the phone from scratch instead of using Titanium backup.
I did notice that my RIL version is 2.2.0031HM....could this be a problem since as i found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752 the radio might not be supported through this RIL. I did not find any info on this RIL version also.
Is there anything i could try? Could i use logcat to get more info from the phone? The problem is that i'm not competent enough to read those logs.
Any help really appreciated.

That RIL is for the latest radio (in my signature) Try the latest radio & see if that helps.

I'm sorry, i don't see any link to radio in your signature. And i couldn't find it through search and google etc.
I have currently downgraded the RIL to HTC-RIL 2.2.0015HM which should be
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_RIL based on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
This radio version is at least suggested to use on the ReflexTSenseHD thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791315
I also didn't restore anything from Titanium Backup this time and i removed AutoKiller. Will test for a couple of days to see if it helped now and post here the results.

A little search in the Desire Android Developement section, and you find the radio thread.
2. The suggested radio is outdated.
But if you downgraded, it should help.

Sorry again, i read that thread but i wasn't sure what RIL it should work against. But hopefully this downgrade does it for me. If not i will try the newest RIL with newest Radio.
Thanks a lot.

Just had a series of crashes with the downgraded rom and RILs. Will try out the new ones. Although i do not understand which RIL should be used for the latest radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
Any info on that?

The RIL is included in the ROM for the latest version.
TBH, I never flashed RILs and got working everything (always).

I understood also that RIL is a longshot for fixing it. But i have no other ideas at the moment. On next crash i will try to do logcat -b radio. Hopefully there is something interesting there.

Installed LeeDroid ROM now. Lets see if it works with the same radio and everything. I also have the app2d+ set up through ROM Manager and with swap. Maybe should try removing the swap.

I've had two more crashes with LeeDroid. After the first one i uninstalled setCPU and fixed permissions in ROM Manager. Now just had a second one and connected the dead device to adb and did logcat -b radio and logcat. This is what i got. Any ideas what those could be about?

I have downloaded the WWE RUU. Will try to get a microsd to sd adapter, make a goldcard and then try it.

It seems that iNsertCoin 1.9.5 is stable on my phone. Over a week with it and no problems whatsoever. I seem the share the problem that some other people have been having with this rom though. It seems to get a lot slower over time. So i might still end up trying the RUU. Or does anyone have any other suggestions for a good Sense or SenseHD rom that might work for me(share something in common with iNserCoin)?

[Q] GPS problem - very strange

I have a GPS problem, and despite reading a number of the threads in the forum and trying the usual fixes (downloading GPS Status, clearing downloaded data, re-downloading A-GPS data, factory reset, upgrading to 2.3.3 etc...) I still figure out what's wrong.
Symptoms are:
I do have a GPS icon in the task bar in the apps where I would expect it appear
I never get a lock
Both GPS Status and GPS Test seem to indicate I have *no* signal from any sats
I am outside when I try this
aLogcat seesm to show no NMEA data, though I've never read a logcat entry for working GPS, so I'm guessing a bit here. It does show GPS start up and shutdown lines however
It didn't work in 1.84, when I downgraded, and it still doesn't work in 2.3.3 - seems to be version independant!
Does anyone have any bright ideas? It's really irritating. As a side note, the phone isn't rooted (as I forgot to S-off when I upgraded to 2.3.3) though it could be downgraded fairly easily if there was a good reason to do it...
Thanks!

If it has never worked and you have wiped the device, re-installed etc....
Then I would guess that it may be a defective unit...

1. are you running custom roms? if so which?
2. have you updated your radio and made sure that the RIL is matching?

1. Nope. The stock 2.3.3 RUU and before that the UK T-Mobile Stock 1.84 ROM.
2. Stock only, so standard RIL.

That is my fear. It did work when I first got it, but it now doesn't on any ROM. Unfortunately I can't quite work out what changed...
If this is the problem, does anyone know a way to get back on the T-Mobile official ROM so i can take it back to the shop?

Hi there, Your best bet would be to try and downgrade, root and flash a matched ROM, RIL & radio to retest. This happened to me a while back and this was the only thing that sorted it. CoreDroid has been particularly good for GPS on my DHD, hope this helps

Yeah - I tried the Coredroid rom - no dice. Think that confirms it's hardware. Back to stock and then back to the shop for this one.
I heard rumours that early DHDs were flaky for GPS. Guess that confirms it for me...

Had exactly the same problem with mine after using the gingerbread ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056329
Are there different versions for different countries? Maybe this only works in the US or something? I'm guessing here!
Are there different stock ROMS for different countries/ networks? I didn't write down the version numbers before updating

[Q] did my radio update break my gps?!?

So I've been running cm7 for a while now with no problems at all with my GPS after the sense GPS fix. Today I updated my radio prl pri combo thing and my GPS only locks for 1 second or so then even the icon dissapears. So I flashed cm7 over itself and its still broke. Anyone know a good combo for the GPS or a fix?

Have you tried the re-doing the "sense GPS fix" you mentioned? You can asking try shutting down your device, pulling the battery, reinserting the battery and then powering up your device to see if that helps.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.

Yeah I've pulled the battery more then once. Does anyone know if updating radio combo ect... would make me need to do the sense fix again?
Because that's a giant pain in the ass.

Hi, did you ever got your radio to work again? I have the exact same problem now. I tried an old rom (Floyo 1.2) and thought I might as well update the radio. I did a full wipe and everything went fine, but I can never get a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status and toolbox -> reset -> download assist data but to no luck. Then I tried six different radio versions (old and new), the Floyo Euro GPS zip, the Salsa rom and Elelinux' 2.3.4 rom but none of them works. If I try to let GPS status keep running for a minute or so, the phone will eventually do a hard reboot :/

Try and flash back to a sense based rom and reflash the updated radio and then update your prl reboot and update your profile do that twice should clear up your issues.

miui-us I'm having issues with GPS on CM7 as well, but I never got it to work with a sense fix or anything...I'm going to see if I can get it working when I flash a sense rom first. If it works then I'll try what you said.

Same thing happened to me after updating the radios. Looks like it's time for the PITA Sense and back fix.
Trying it now, but it takes about an hour, I will get back to you....

[Q] CM 7.1 no GPS or Bluetooth!!

ok im a noob and cant find what im looking for, ive read around and i see a radio change or upgrade would fix this but im reluctant to flash as i have the latest radio (13.55.55.24h_3.35.20.10)
can someone help me out or point me in the right direction please!!??
thanks in advance!

Irrespective of the version you have, you have to reflash the radio. (Even if you are reflashing it with the same version you are having). A longer alternative is to go back to a Sense ROM, keep GPS on there, get a fix, and reinstall CM7 without turning off GPS, but, for your BT issues you will probably have to reflash the radio anyway.
