[REQUEST] Cellular South ROM

I am looking for a stock Cellular South HTC Desire ROM. Can anyone help me out with that? I know that the stock was Android Eclair 2.1. I ran into some major problems with reception and data connection while I was out of my home area so I need a rom that I can switch to when I am out of the home area. While I am home, I am running Cyanogen 6.1.0. Any help will be appreciated.

if you can use a galaxy or mod it i can drop you one

any luck with this? I really need a stock cellular south ROM for the htc desire...

There isn't one. Go have a look on shipped-roms, on here but I doubt it. Just use the wwe version.

i tried... it didnt work for some reason, Signature error... does it require a goldcard or whatever? im running cyanogen, but my signal is horrible. I have a friend with the same phone not rooted and we would be right next to each other and his signal was 10 times better than mine. Any ideas? We have the same baseband number also. i'm assuming that there are cellular south settings for the phone's network that aren't in cyanogen? This won't work though, I don't have signal hardly at all. I was going to try cellular south tech tomorrow when they open to see if they can get me the original firmware for it.

Yes, you need a Goldcard. Will bypass the verification. I will point out that not all phones are the same. You might have the same phone, same everything as someone else but it might not be the same experience.

For all those with WiFi data issues with 2.3.3

I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!

Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.

i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?

Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live

Problems with WIFI, GPS and radio after 2.17 update

A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse

Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?

recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

agree with the first comment. Can't confirm yet WIFI performance but GPS is now really bad. It was working great on 4.0.3 same as WiFi

I do not agree. I'm also using 2.17 and everything with GPS and wifi is OK.

Have you installed the correct bootfiles also the Kernel for this rom?

I used only files from the instalation guide. No other modifications

CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.

I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method

Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.

I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?

After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal

sandipbarik said:
I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

That's up to you, but many users have experienced that some radios work better for different people. 2.17 works ok for me, maybe you should try.

[Q] Wifi problems since JB Update

Hello xda,
Firstly I wanted to say thank you all for existing, Ive had much fun customising my HTC Desire and now my One X because of your articles. Even using google, all roads led to XDA.
Now to the problem...
Yesterday the official Jelly bean update for my One X, and since then Ive had a bunch of Wifi problems:
As soon as I connect to Wifi, I get about 10 seconds of internet, then nothing will connect until I turn Wifi off/on again, when this repeats, of course. This happens on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks at my home.
If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.
The Wifi works on my phone properly when I change the router to 802.11b mode, but signal strength is poor.
I cleared the cache in recovery and when that didnt work I performed a factory rest, also didnt solve the problem.
I have read up about the problem and tried all solutions but I was thinking about going back to having my phone unlocked and rooted etc as this was what I had originally until I relocked it to get the official update (which has come back to bite me in the butt)
I guess this biggest question would be: Would getting a custom ROM fix this problem? Im asking this instead of going ahead with it like I normally do because I dont really want to make it worse if I can help it.
If anyone else knows enough about this problem, or the cause of it, that would be swell. Is it because of the fact that its been relocked/unrooted? Others who have stock standard phones have had the same problem but I want to be sure.
Some info:
HTC One X - unbranded CID HTC_023
Software #: 3.17.728.1
Android: 4.1.1
Stock Kernal
Stock Recovery
S-ON
HBOOT: 1.39.0000
Relocked Bootloader
Network 2Degrees New Zealand
WIFI Router:
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600
ISP: Telstraclear NZ
Its probably not super brief, but I want to make sure I have everything you need.
Thanks!

This sounds like the problem that existed on early JB hboots prior to 1.36, if I recall. Don't know why you have the problem, it's very odd.

My advice : make a nandroid of the stock rom and flash a different rom ! The bootloader has already been unlocked so the state of warranty will not change if unlock it again. Worth the try ..... going back to the reseller is always an option after this !

I don't have this problem and i've updated to JB for some time now.I am not an expert on anything,but a friend of mine had similar problems with the wifi that you have,except that his wifi would randomly turn off and on from time to time in addition to your problems.After going to the HTC repair center they replaced his Wifi antena because it was faulty,and after that he didn't had any problems.The strangest thing is that he was using a custom rom(ARHD if i recall right) and HTC accepted to repair his phone,that simply amazed me because i tought that once you unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom,you're guarantee will be voided.Anyway,sorry for the long post and stories,but you can call or sent an email to HTC regarding this issue,you might have a faulty antena.

Yeah I thought it might be the faulty antennae halabaloo that people talked about for most One X phones, but the Wifi was fine before the JB update and I haven't dropped it around the same time (though almost threw it at the wall)

Also it looks like Ill have to wait a bit for a custom rom, as the stock kernal is the only one that plays nice with the new HBOOT. Touchscreen is not working in rom or recovery.
A bunch of other people with HTC_023 had this same problem.

I'm on _023 and Touch does not work with CWM (not really that big a deal), but works fine with the stock ROM. No issues with wifi, just an odd issue with the voice->text that seems to affect only my phone. Do yourself a favour and make a nandroid backup and store it on your computer so you don't have to poke around for one later.

I'm also on HTC__023 with JB update and have found since the update that it dosen't like 5ghz wifi yet 2.4ghz is fine

I am on the same ota and my wifi does not work at all. Hopefully HTC figures this out. This is my 2nd HOX the first one had the bad antenna.
don't let the cat lick the butter

Ok I think I fixed it, if youve got wifi problems on a 5ghz network, youll have to change the mode to 802.11a and channel to 36 on the router (at least, thats what I did) and it works again!

If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.

Isn't it an AP problem? With the new wireless module in JB the phone WiFi may talk a bit differently to the AP. I would suggest to check with different APs and to upgrade router/AP firmware.

LG G3 back to JellyBean

This may have been posted, If so, sorry, I could not find it.
Now that that I have installed the T-mo Lollipoop update, my phone is a paperweight. As I don't suppose T-mo will replace it....
Is there anyway to roll the LG-G3 back to KitKat or whatever version it was on WHEN IT WORKED PERFECTLY?
Any help would be appreciated, it is useless as it is.

I ask this when fixing computers, why is it a paper weight lol.. whats wrong with the phone ? we need moar nfo ...

Paperweight
No or Spotty Wi/Fi
Cell signal has almost vanished (it I stand next to a T-mo tower I can get 5 bars for a minute)
Cell signal keeps dropping so the phone is constantly searching for a signal
Due to constantly searching for signals, the battery drain is actually watchable on the notification screen, about 1% a minute.
Phone will not stay connected long enough to complete a call.
All of these Issues happened after Lollipoop.
Hence, is there a way do "Upgrade" it back to Kit Kat.
I could not find anything on her about it. I did find a video on Youtube, but it was for a Verizon unit, not sure if it would be the same or not
I have two phones, same issue on both phones.

Unfortunately from my experiences and other people's experiences downgrading to Kitkat after Lollipop with data issues, you will still have those data issues when you go back to Kitkat. It seems going back to Kitkat via KDZ or TOT does not restore the modem or it does but the modem still does not function correctly. The only way to fix LTE and data issues was to flash Blisspop 2.3 and determining that data sticks on that rom. If it does, your data and modem issues should be resolved and you can use stock lollipop again. If you want to try this route here is my thread on how to fix it. Make sure you are rooted with twrp

Once I do that I will lose WiFi calling won't I?
It is my understanding once you over write T-mo's Rom you lose that.

Yes and No flashing blisspop rom will just fixed your data and LTE issues, I'm not telling you to keep the rom, that is entirely up to you. Yes keeping custom roms that are not stock will lose wifi calling and all the tmobile stuff. After you can confirm that LTE and data works you can then flash back to stock or restore to stock. That way you can still have Wifi calling and have a stock rom.
