GPS broken after trying Radio Update - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A while ago I rooted my DesireHD and installed a custom rom.
After that my GPS didn't work anymore..
I tried a new custom Rom and tried updating 'Radio' with another Rom / Update.
Now, all my apps crash that use GPS, which is kind of a problem, since I use Google Maps & Navigator a lot..
Can anyone please tell me what a good DHD Rom / Radio is these days I should use, and how I can install these properly?
Thanks!

I know how to search this forum, thanks anyway... Problem is, there are threads with 20+ radio updates.. How would I know which one is best, and what is the proper order to install, the radio first, or android first..

Try either this
12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M
or
12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
Also try flashing a stock rom

After trying some different ROM's I found out that I need a Sense ROM to make my GPS work..
I'm running on Sabsa Prime now, and everything works..

haha didn't check the date! Thanks for the heads up! I'm having a bit of difficulty finding a radio that gives good battery life. What radio would you recommend..?
I've found that the newest official Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 (from the link in your signature) gives me the best battery life and I've tried almost all radios.

Nice1 thanks. I used it a few weeks ago and then changed for some reason, prob just to see what else was out there. I recall it being excellent.
So, is the radio's performance dependant on the ROM in way way? Also, what RIL are you using?
Not really no and almost all roms are based on the official gingerbread update and the radio came with it so the roms should be optimized for it anyway. RILs should always match the radio you're using, but the newest custom roms should already include the matching RILs for the radio I suggested.

THX I NEED it
the newest radio is the best mate...
Just posted this update in the Recommended ROM/RADIO/RIL/KERNEL Combinations thread..
Flashed the Telus radio: 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24_M2 and it's using 3-4mA per minute in stand-by. It's pretty much the best I've tested so far. I'm going to stick with it: http://www.multiupload.com/4CQ8919NO6
what ril are you using with that radio? This one 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24_M2
the 1003g one? I;ve tried flashing that ril and cannot get it to work?

The RIL's in my signature.
Remember, you have to mount /system in cwm before you flash it. Just look in one of the menus within cwm and you'll see mount /system. Select it and then flash the RIL as your would flash a rom or anything else, from your SD card.

OUCH! WHAT are you going to do? flash another rom maybe?
well thats 2 roms that didnt work, maybe try another and if that doesnt work then revert to the stock htc probably
Hi jmealiff92
You have to be patient enough to allow the ROM, Kernel and the GPS signal to adjust itself. Today may not work, but tomorrow can. (i'm not sure why, its weird). Lol. Im currently using LeeDrOid v2.2.3 and it works great. =)
Could be a hardware fault.

The thread shows some 3rd part apps for wifi tethering. But when I install them and give them root permissions the wifi does not start. Under wifi it shows (Error).
Test if your WiFi antenna is misplaced.
Remove battery lid and put it back on again, making sure its proper on

This is a pretty common issue for custom roms. And in most custom rom, they should be fixed already.
In my opinion, the problem you are facing is most likely rom related issue, so it is best you go back to the thread where u downloaded the rom and browse through to see fixes. Or simply update to the latest version of your rom.
well i went through the forum and to my surprise or unfortune no one has reported abt the issue i m facing. and i checked the rom official site,the rom i m using is indeed the latest stable rom, i even checked my phone's wifi antenna its not hampered or has moved from its position.

You can try re-downloading cm7.2rc3. If it doesn't work, download cm7.2rc2 to see if it works, restore your apps after you find out if it's working. That rom is Gb and shouldn't be having those issues.

Well this is what I ve done.I was using cynogenmod rc2. I flashed rc3 hoping this would fix the issue. So thing is if i flash it back to rc2 it would not add up to solution.

let me explain in a very explicit manner possible. i was using cynogenmod 7.2rc2 long back with same wifi problem so some user on xda advised me to update the rom to latest version ;7.2rc3, so i did the update.but when i started facing same problem with 7.2rc3, i reported this in a post on xda to which u replied to downgrade the rom to rc2. but as i ve aforementioned that before reporting it on xda i was using 7.2rc2 version with the same wifi problem so corollary of this is if i downgrade it back to rc2 there ll b no difference except i ve to redownload my apps and configure settings.
and one thing more i ve re-flashed the cynogenmod7.2rc3 but that also does not work.

Just want to make sure. You re-downloaded the file and flashed with a clean install and the same problem happens, right?
Sent from a dream.
yes i downloaded the file from cynogenmod official page. and did all the recommended steps like wiping cache,formatting,wipinkg dalvik cache and wiping battery stats.
I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything either.
When you try to use the usb or wifi tethering, to what are you connecting to? to a laptop? what operating system are you using on the laptop if such is the case?
yes i m connecting to a laptop. its dell n5010. os is windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Damn, I accidentally thanked you. I was saving that one since it was going to be the 100th thanks I was going to give.
Go to the market, download cat log or any other way you prefer to create a logcat and post it in the cyanogen forum, or here see if someone can help. I'm thinking it's something particular to your phone/radio/service provider.
I'll flash the rom either tonight when I get home or tomorrow when I have some time. But I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the same issue.
Edit: have you tried fixing permissions in 4ext recocery or whatever you use? Sometimes it helps.
Sent from a dream.
what does this logcat do and is it a android software or what? sorry for the noob question since i vent heard this logcat thing before.

Search for logcat and find which one you are more comfortable using. There are several ways of getting one.
Logcats help developers figure out what is causing the problem.

Thanks, I will try your CM10 ROM, although I have rooted and installed several ROMS in a samsung spica, and a sony Xperia ArcS, I have not very clear how to install your ROM.
Wipe Data, Cache, and system "OK"
Flash the ROM "It's the TEST13 file? is this done in the recovery, right?"
Flash GApps "is this done in the recovery, right?"
Download the boot.img "OK xD"
Flash boot.img in fastboot "I guess this one is not done in the recovery, could you please be a little bit more specific? what is included in the boot.img? it's mandatory?"
If I install this kernel it adds any apps/option in the ROM so I can change the OC to 1.2 or keep the default 1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765687
Or in order to change I need to install a 3rd party app in google play?
Thanks in advance

boot.img is the kernel, mandatory.
In case you need commands
Settings>Performance has options for freq. control. But I think some app like "no frills" is recommended.

Try this, follow my steps
1. Boot up into recovery mode
2. Wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache
3. Install ROM + GApps
4. Install the beginners patch in the local UltraBeam GB patch thread download all 3 or 2
You can easily get the update for V 1.0.7 from OTA
5. reboot system, now see the results?
Also try mini turbo boost, it increases UltraBeam GB way more faster :good:
