This is a general note for those interested in a fairly stable ROM for the US version of the (CDMA) Wildfire S running 2.3.5 (Marvelc.)
After trying several other ROMS, some supposed to be stable with CDMA but were not, I can state the MIUI v4 - 2.8.10 by Henry_01 DOES work with my US Cellular WFS after updating from v2.3.4 to 2.3.5. However, I had problems when installing via cwm recovery for reasons I cannot fathom, but everything went smooth after reverting to twrp 2.2.2 and doing the simple wipe thing...
Just for the record... Yes: Both Data and Wifi worked straight from 1st boot.
Nice Work Henry-01 ^5
UPDATE:
MIUI v4 failed... I couldn't find a fix for the GPS, I'm guessing because I couldn't find an option in Settings to activate GPS... but the ROM was still stable otherwise.
I will try other ROMS and add my findings here as I go until I have something working at least 90% I don't expect 100% as these ROMs need to be tested and continually developed, especially for marvelc.
Currently running: cm-9.1.0-CRYPTOMILK-ALPHA9-marvelc
This appears to have updated my android version to v4.0 ? It doesn't come with GAPPS so I installed myself using goo.im goomanger from there site v2.2.
This was yesterday. Checked and working:
Wifi, Data, GPS, SMS, Phone.
Camera/Camcorder and browser. (Browser seems a little slow and glitchy... but that may have been down to the connection... not sure yet.)
I will test further today...

Tried twrp 2.3 but it wouldn't work... hence using 2.2.2..

I'm just sharing my own experience with this particular phone/rom/etc...
Can you flash cron mod with that recovery?

I'm not familiar with "Cron mod" but... I did try the marvelc cm-9.1.0-CRYPTOMILK-ALPHA9-marvelc yesterday, I couldn't get the cm7 or cm9 working while using cwm recovery but never tried the cm9 Alpha9 until now, and of course I used twrp as I find it appears to work great on my device.
Anyway, this alpha9 is to date: The ONLY ROM I've installed on this MarvelC wfs that actually works with wifi/data/gps having no issues, and I flashed gaps by downloading goo manager from the goo.im site.
Now to test and read some more and find out if I have any bugs on this rom.
As I've tested quite a few roms this week... I may at some point start a thread with all roms that I COULDN'T get to work on the wfs US cdma...
jelly bean roms work pretty great, except GPS but if you turn WiFi on (don't need to connect to an access point) it gets you dead on. for me at least. and yes you can flash cronmods int2ext+ with twrp 2.2, so im guessing you can flash the rest as well.

For me, the GPS needs to work, for travel. Wifi does get you very close but that is no good when using the navigation to follow a route by instruction. I didn't even realize at first that the wifi did that and thought that the GPS was 'Working' in CM9. Alas it was not... So another failure for me :/
well the only two roms that work flawlessly with our phones is jmz sense and teamblueridge sense. which kinda stinks because they're gingerbread.

Rom with no Bugs
rmk sense r1 is a rooted original firmware ( No Bugs at all ) ,
also it is debloated from all unnecessary bloatware and verizon stuff also as i remember ,
there is a patch includes all removed software if you need it back to the rom .
Also it can be patched with sense 3 patch . this is your best choice if you don't want to follow developers fixing bugs and patches every day
gingerbread 3.3.5 and 3.5
i assume 3.5 you mean Sense 3.5
there is one Rom only Sense 3.5 with GSM support and it has Bugs ( empty strings ) , and the developer move to a new Base , means that Rom's bug will not be fixed
any updates on this?
I have not tested it personally, but GSM should work on CyanogenMod.
I have personally tested GSM in CM7 7.1.0.1 and it does work just fine

Also you may not be able to access ##Phone codes EPST and such.
So if you need to manually enter some data provisioning settings you might want to keep a stock based ROM somewhere on your SD card like one of the others mentioned.
There is nothing like stepping off the plane and having to call the carrier only to hear "OK, lets dial ##778# + send" and with no data, access you have to run to an inet cafe or find a WiFi signal to download a ROM with that capability.
andybones has a real clean ROM.

I got annoying and strange problem. I've been running Andromedus Test Builds, but after 75 bulid I lost wifi, so I installed CM9 beta5 and everything was fine. Today camcorder did force exit and didn't want to run properly. Did nandroid, upgrade to beta6 w/ kernel 7 and lost wifi additionally. Then did recover of beta 5. Nothing changed. Now I'm running again Andromedus Test Build, but very low number - 64. And it seems to work right. But why, for sake, any new upgrade goes crazy? Any ideas?
Have been trying different kernels. DZ unlocked by htcdev (so every one must be upgrading manually).
Hope my english is good enough to understand me
Those are still beta builds - expect bugs if you use them
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
What do you mean by lost wifi? It doesn't toggle or just doesn't find your network?
Also, I assume you're doing full wipes between roms as the test builds are odexed and the cm9 unofficial rom isn't. If you don't wipe you're gonna be boned..

After flashing Blackout 3.1.0 i had none or very bad connection to the mobile network. I tried a lot of different ideas but it didn't worked. Mobile Network on Blackout 3.0.0 and ARHD 6.3.2 just worked fine on the same place.
Then i decided to update my radio from 26.03.02.26 to 26.17.14.11 (newest one jet).
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9891581&postcount=2
Now it acutally works. Maybe this helps anyone
But the RIL in the post above seems to be incompatible. I didn't found an compatible one for 26.17.14.11. Do i need one? Or is it integrated in Blackout 3.1.0? Network seems to be a bit slower ^^
It most likely has nothing to do with the radio. Anyhow, you don't need RIL. Just use the one with the ROM.
ah ok
but i only changed radio to make it work
If you want Android 4 on your phone , use JellyTime , It's a 4.1.1 (JellyBean) and it's very smooth .... The best Rom up to now

Hi Everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
Over the last couple of months, I have tried virtually every ROM I can get my hands on for my DHD, and I always do a full wipe (format) of /system, /data, /cache, Dalvik, and .android_secure before install.
The only ICS ROM I can get working fully is Blackout, but it is Sense 3.6.
I have tried Viper, and *really* like it, but Bluetooth is broken (in 1.2.0, .1, .2, and .3)
That seems to be the case for me with Sense 4 ROMs (lite or full); if Bluetooth works, then WiFi is broken. If WiFi works, then Bluetooth is broken.
ROMs I've tried (latest):
Viper
Miui
Jellytime
ARHD
Blackout (S3.6, which is where I'm at b/c it works)
IceCold
IceSense
CosmicSandwich
Sabsa
codefireX
Kernels I've tried (various releases up to latest):
Beastmode
KangBang
Virtuous
So, I'd like to know if there is such a thing as a fully-working ICS/JB ROM with Sense 4? I cant seem to find one. W/o Bluetooth and WiFi, nothing can be considered a "daily driver", imo... especially w/o Bluetooth, if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
I'm baffled; all of those ROMs should have both BT and wifi fully working. What's your recovery and version?
EDIT: and what's your radio?

Same here, bluetooth is one of the few things that ALWAYS work (except for 4.2.1, but that's expected).
Are you wipping between flashes ?
Thanks for the replies, guys.
As I outlined above, yes, I am fully wiping b/t ROM installs - even restores - please see my method in first post.
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery (HBoot for booting) and have paid for ROM Manager, which entitles me to further updates to CWM than what is available on Play. I currently have 5.8.1.5 installed (CWM Touch).
The radio varies from ROM to ROM it seems, and I should have documented which version in each ROM, but right now, in Blackout, it is reporting 12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M. <--- That number stays consistent, afaik, but the first letter will change (U and T, iirc).
When I say that Bluetooth doesnt work, specifically what happens is that it either doesnt pair with any device, or if it does pair, no sound will be transmitted or the pairing will only last for a second, maybe two seconds at most.

Sent from a dream.
The radio shouldn't be changing with each ROM unless you change it. But with that said, nothing seems out of the ordinary. You could try reflashing your radio manually? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

I dont know much about that, but with that said, I just re-flashed Viper 1.2.3 and my radio now reads:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M, which is different than it was above with Blackout.
I have not tried re-flashing my radio manually. I wouldnt know which one would give me a better chance of success...

Once I flash a new ROM, the kernel and the radio are the same I had or the new ROM comes with its own kernel and radio?
Thanks in advance
roms do not come with radios tho they do have their own kernels. Radios are region based not rom based so there is no rom specific radio just what works best in your area.

Thanks for the explanation. So, if I bought my mobile in Spain, the radio is different if I had bought, for example in France?
depends on how close they are to each other whether same service is used in Spain as in France or if they are totally two different service. I would Google the carrier you use then see what radio they shipped with. Even in the radio thread you may find an answer to which radio is good for you in the area your at.

Hey guys, I try to do my research before posting (this is my first post) but I am stuck on this one.
I have:
PrimoU
Llior's CM9 Rom
Titanium Kiss kernel (ICS)
on Koodo (Canadian Provider)
Problem:
I was running the latest Hellboy kernel, but noticed I had better GPS signal with KISS, so I flashed back to KISS to see if It improved the GPS. It did, but now I have no service! I tried restoring to my last Nandroid, but still have the same problem.
WiFi works, but I have no cellular network connection. This is my daily use device so I would love to get some help on this one if anyone has some ideas. For now I am stuck texting on my old optimus one.
Confused!

I don't know to much about other carriers, but does your phone require a sim?
Yes. It requires a sim.
Tried the sim in my old p500. Sim card works.
Power off the phone and remove the sim for some time(10~15mins).
It always works for me
Or,there may be a problem in the sim slot.

There is no way I could have messed with the radio or baseband by flashing a kernel, is there?

One more thing that you can try:
- flash stock rom
If you don't have signal with stock rom, might be hardware failure. If you still have warranty, just go and replace it...
