Yes, I've searched and couldn't find any helpful results.
I've been running BAMF 1.8 remix for a couple months with the stock radio. Well, I went to upgrade my radio and after a reboot i have no service....The symbol isn't even there actually. So I go back to my stock, 1.16.00.0223r....and still no service nor does the signal bars even show up....i mean not show up....not gray'd out or anything, the symbols are just MIA. I went into hboot to verify my radio is back to stock and sure enough, it is. I deleted the zip after i updated it too. Any help? I get wifi fine and can go into recovery and hboot just fine. Am I bricked?
I corrected it finally. I flashed the combo instead of each radio by itself. Although, anytime I try to update to the official mr2 radio, the signal icon disappears. This is so frustrating. I don't want to risk trying a leaked radio....guess I'll just wait it out and no have CM7

I'm just curious, but after flashing the newest sprint rom and radio, I noticed that everytime I do a soft reset, I automatically get the roam triangle. This stays on for about 10 minutes till it goes to EVDO, or 10X. I am currently using the newest DCD 3.2.0 Rom, for Sprint, and there is no difference. Does anyone know how to prevent this from going into Roam mode when you do a soft reset?
Hopefully this hasn't been answered, and I missed it. If it has, I appologize. Thanks in advance.

Do you know what version of the PRL you're using? It shows up as "PRL version" under Start->Settings->System->Device Information. Someone along the line you might have ended up with an outdated one. 60613 is the latest for Sprint EVDO-capable phones.

I can confirm that with 3.2.0 (yes...I've finally moved on from my own kitchen based from Sprint's 3.35.xxx.... ) a soft-reset consistently reverts back to Standard for the Phonerefered Serving System. Over a soft-reset it should retain the choice of Home Only.
In the registry under HKLM\Software\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting what can I set to retain Home Only but retain the option to switch back to Standard when travelling?
This is an issue for me since I live by the water and the US is just across a straight leaving my phone often switching between my local and a US carrier.

we probably need the previous version initprov.dll. i will look tonight. thanks for finding this
You're welcome, DCD.. Thank you!
This afternoon I may also have a chance to build a new ROM with a familiar initprov.dll and see if that resolves it.
With 3.2.0 on my Titan I just replaced the initprov.dll (v1.25.0.0) with the v1.21.0.0 (from the March Sprint release and what I was first using in my kitchen), rebooted, but still faced the problem of the phone defaulting back to Standard rather than retain Home Only.
That was without rebuilding a ROM with the older initprov version in.
...to note, the April Alltel ROM was also using this latest v1.25.0.0.

Certain dll's are self registering and some aren't. It's probably going to take a little more than just a copy/paste.

Worth a shot.. Can't rebuild until I get home......
I realize now that it is related to the radio rom. Originally I installed the NEW factory firmware/rom upgrade. Well that was when it started. So thinking it was a factory rom issue, I installed DCD 3.2.0. Still doing it. So I decided to downgrade back to 3.1.6 which was what I WAS using before the upgrade.. Still doing it. So.. .It has to be the newest radio rom. I am going to downgrade the radio back to what I had and see if that fixes it.

That's not necessarily true. It could have been something that was installed during the 3.56 factory customizations. Try flashing Sprint 3.35 stock rom/radio, let the customizations run. Then flash 3.2.0 and 3.42.02 or 3.42.30. If you're going to use the 3.56 stock rom/radio to flash 3.42.02, that's ok, just DON'T let the customizations run this time.
that was the issue with mine I ran the sighned sprint cab from the extended rom from the 3.56 "official" rom that was part of no2chems pre 2.2 after i did that my phone was stuck in roaming... Thinking it was the radio i downgraded 1 step @ a time from the 3.42.03 back to 3.39 still roaming went back to the stock radio that came with the 3.35 release still roaming when phone was booted. Figured it might be rom related @ that point so i reflashed to good ole 5069k left battery out after flash for 2 min... first boot it was roaming and would not lock onto a tower in sprint only mode... my muerom boot agent always runs the sprint carrier settings 4 me and on my second boot still no sprint signal only digital roam.. In a last ditch effort I reflashed via activesync the whole 3.35 stock rom/radio ... and wala all was fixed booted right up and even b4 the sprint custimization was started i had the evdo icon and no roaming triangle. Leaving the 3.35 stock rom on there i went forward 1 step @ a time radio wise and even with 3.39 and 3.42.02 i still got sprint coverage and evdo icon and connection. so i re-flashed to the nue 2.2 preview let it do tis sprint thing on first boot. then i did not go in and eun anything from the extended rom. No more roaming triangle. Something in the 3.56 exended rom i ran (sprint sighned whatever) Changed something in epst that dod not get reset even with flashes and hard resets till i relfashed back to stock 3.35 relaease full with radio from activesync.
So my suggestion would be that u can run the newer radio and roms just be sure to let your carrier settings run but don't touch files in the extended rom esp the file mentioned bc it stuck me in roaming and it would not get a sprint signal (home) for anything even after just letting it sit. and when setting roaming option to sprint only I would not get any bars @ all just the animated dots nest to the signal icon.
So it can't be anything in the new rom or settings in the new rom that is doing it nor the radio bc when downgrading back to stock radio from march update it did the same thing.
To fix your going to need to do a fill rom/radio flash then just pick your fav flavors after its flashed and has booted up the second time.
Boy, am I glad y'all started a thread on this. I've been trying to figure out what was wrong since this came out. My first flash of the new rom caused mine to be stuck in roaming, and sometimes it won't even come out.
I'll try what you guys suggested.
Customizations = Extended Rom
That's exactly what I said.
Ok, things a little different now. I reflashed back to the stock 3.35 Rom and let customizations run.
Then flashed just the new radio 3.42.30 from SD card
Last I flashed just the dcd 3.2.0 ROM and the carrier cab, and now no more roaming after the soft reset.
So, maybe the problem is in that radio included with the new 3.56 ROM
As long as I got it working, I'm happy

Again, it's not the radio. It's in the customizations from 3.56.

If all we had to do was not let the customizations run, why didn't someone just say that? I've been asking about this for like 3 days now.
When I tried flashing the 3.56 rom without the Customizations it still would roam, so go figure

That's because you've already let them run. They don't go away after a reflash, the same way Verizon users who let them run can't just reflash their rom to make it go away. You need to flash sprint 3.35, let THOSE customizations run. Then reflash 3.2.0.
Before you do anything though, you DO have Sprint right?
Hopefully this isn't too hard to solve. I have an HTC Evo, and offered to root my friends Thunderbolt. I rooted it fine, everything works flawlessly, and I even flashed a ROM without an issue.
Now, here is the thing I cannot figure out. Every ROM i have installed (BAMF, Synergy, etc) has no radio when it boots up. There are two processes that stop responding (A Sync process and a DM process). There is just simply no radio at all. I can connect to wifi, and I can browse the internet that way, but it refuses to show any connection to Verizon.
Any idea as to what is causing it? Again, I am usually on my Evo, so the Thunderbolt is a little bit different territory.
Keep in mind, all the ROM's flash and boot fine. Everything on the ROM works fine, with the exception of the radio.
Thanks for your help guys.
You have to install a new radio for the gingerbread Rom. In the dev section there is a Rom and kernel list. Find the mr2 radio there. Rename it to PG05img.zip, place on root of SD card, boot into hboot (phone off, hold vol down and power. It will flash the radio. Once it reboots delete or rename that radio file so it won't try and flash it again the next time you boot into hboot. And your done.
sent from my BAMF'n thunderbolt.
Do you see any notification of data on the phone? (1x, 3g, 4g)
Did you make sure to snap the back of the battery cover on tight as it has a connection for the antenna for the battery?
Are you trying to flash the MR1 radio on a ROM that requires either MR2 or MR2.5?
All of these could cause the issue you are having.
Have you tried to reflash one of the radios in hboot? Plus with not all the roms based on the new radios and some of them are this can cause you to lose data if the rom isn't compatable with the radio. Just make sure the roms you are installing are not based on the MR2 or MR2.5 radio while you have a MR1 radio and vice versa.
I hope this helps. If not you may want to just find the original rooted stock OTA ruu and reflash it in hboot. This will wipe all your data so if you have a way to back up apps and data like mybackup pro or titanium backup.
Here is the rom and radio listing thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930
Edit: Yeah almost forgot about the battery cover having the antenna on it like Beastclaw said
Ah. Downloaded the MR2 file, renamed it and flashed it and it worked perfectly.
Thanks so much, you all are the ****.
Going back to the Evo section now.
Again, thanks for all your help. *Waves*
I've recently attempted to flash CM7 1.7 with an MR2 radio but it wouldnt boot past the splash screen. So I reverted back to the original stock radio/rom then attempted to reflash my previous working version of CM7 RC .6. However now I have no data connection. I have celluar reception and its magnificent but absolutely no data. Things I have tried:
*Making sure the battery cover is shut (it is as tight as it gets)
*Reflashing the radio and rom (I've actually tried about 4 different roms/radios)
*Reverting back to stock (this actually does get connection but I hate the rom)
Where I am right now as far as radio/rom:
I have flashed to the MR2 radio and CM7 1.6.1 (it works but still no data)
Any ideas?
So, I was running NeoMax 2.0 for the most part without any problems. I swapped batteries like normal and then the phone started bootlooping, never leaving the HTC screen. I put the regular battery back in and still had the same problems. I had been planning to switch rooms soon anyways, so I decided to flash Neo's AOKP. That ran fine except for that I had no wifi and data would mostly stay on 3G. I tried to do a nand restore to the last working version of NeoMax and the bootlooping continued. I tried to flash the latest ruu and that also had me bootlooping. Going back to AOKP worked just fine but again, no good data connection. Any ideas aside from getting a new phone?

going to need some information from you:
are you s-on or off?
what firmware are you on?
what hboot are you on?
question can be answered by turning off the phone. boot the phone up but hold vol- and power. type all the information in the top left corner

Current:
S-OFF
Kernel: Snuzzo's Funky v1.3
Rom: Neo's AOKP v1.5 Linaro
Radio: 2.22.10.0801, 2.22.10.0803
HBOOT: 2.27
I am s-off with hboot ver 2.27. The last RUU I flashed was 4.03.605.2 from micromod's thread here. I believe that I used version 1.2. I followed his instructions first flashing the firmware, then recovery, then the ota global plus. This was the same firmware that I was originally on before I left NeoMax2.0. It kept bootlooping so I flashed Neo's AOKP again. Both his AOKP and AOSP work just fine besides the data problem. I also flashed snuzzo's funky kernel v1.3 and it didn't help. So currently I'm stuck in AOKP/AOSP with only 3g data speeds. Should I try flashing an older RUU?
once my phone charges up, i'm going to flash the stock 3.14 ruu. i'll check back and let you know if it worked.
it's a no go. flashed the 3.14 ruu from shippedrom.com and kept boot looping. sometimes it would get to the 2nd htc splash screen but it wouldn't actually get to the rom. fresh out of idea's, could use your magic synister!
hmm sounds like what happened to me i found a thread where they said that when running the .2 global ruu you need to flash it twice in a row ( i did battery pulled when it was ready to reboot then went back into boot loader) and do a factory reset all from the boot loader before you install recovery and then boot rom they say it helps with data problems worked for me anyway

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it out tonight. I'm thinking that maybe I will try to flash the global that originally came with my phone. I can't remember the exact one, but I think it was the gb version just before ics came out. I'll post an update with the results.
hmm looks like you have the right radios and hboot or anyway its the same as i have but it still wouldn't hurt to start over the only reason i say something is because i skipped the factory reset in boot loader and i had data problems im not the smartest android on the block here...lol so i try not to tell people stuff that i dont know about that well just what worked for me
And flash Neo's CM9 RAGE rom (aka funky symbol rom).
AOKP has issues where you can lose 4G by going into network settings, CM9 apparently does not. Also, make sure your network mode is set to the one that supports several different data modes, even if you don't get them. Trying to use the one that just says CDMA/LTE prevents 4G signal.
And just FYI, you can run neomax 2 on top of the global firmware, you just can't use it as a true global phone since it is an older rom.

Turning your phone s-off gives you a chance of bricking your phone. I am not responsible if you try these steps and have problems. Also you will loose all your data as you will be wiping your phone multiple times. Make sure to backup all your data (I used Titanium backup) OK?! :good:
I had done a ton of research trying to fix the GPS on my HTC Jewel and never found a solution that worked. Issue was the GPS would not lock. I was originally running MeanRom, then JellyBam, and finally switched to CM10.1 nightly builds, all with no GPS. Last night though I finally fixed it and wanted to post this for anyone else having this problem.
Prior to last night here is how my phone was setup:
S-On
Hboot 1.19
Radio 1.12.11.0890
CM10.1 20130224
I saw that HTC released a new update, and started digging on how to update when on a custom ROM. I realized that I needed to go s-off which I had tried last year with LazyPanda, but it failed.
Last night I was able to go S-Off following directions from FacePalm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163013
It was a lot easier than DirtyRacoon and I'm running Win7x64 which DirtyRacoon says is not supported by them.
Once I was s-off I downloaded the latest Radio 1.12.11.1210 from: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-RADIOS-RECOVERY-FLASHABLE-Jewel-Radio-Collection
I confirmed that the radio upgraded successfully and rebooted. I was then prompted to activate my phone, and when I tried to activate it gave me the error that I was not authorized! With some help from the FacePalm IRC channel I was pointed to having to flash stock to be able to re-activate and then flash again back to your custom ROM.
I downloaded and flashed with Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_2.13.651.1 found here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?14585-ROM-Kernel-2-13-651-1-Stock-Rooted-Based-on-Latest-OTA-(Odexed-and-Deodexed)
Booted and re-activated, and confirmed GPS working! Then I re-flashed with CM10.1 20130228 and GPS was still working!
I hope this helps others as I have seen a lot of forums with people complaining about the HTC Jewel GPS and saying it's faulty hardware, unfixable, or their fixes are all in app software related.
Thanks!
One thing that I would like to add is if you go stock, do NOT turn off your GPS after you get a lock. I usually have GPS turned off to save battery, but it was the reason why the new ROMs couldn't get a signal.
So to recap
1. Go back to stock
2. Get any old signal even for just a second
3. Immediately flash your new ROM without turning off GPS
4. Enjoy
This indeed works.
I don't like Sense-Based ROMs, so the first thing I did after getting my Jewel was S-Off, and I'm running AOKP. The GPS was driving me crazy, and I couldn't figure out how to get it working.
I updated my radio, flashed a sense-based ROM, locked GPS, then reverted back to AOKP, and it works flawlessly!
This method works!
Is this really a fix? You described how to s-off and go back to a stock Rom. Are you saying that custom roms don't lock fast enough, if so I've experienced this too. I don't see how going back to stock then flashing a custom Rom would fix that.
The way I fixed the problem before was to flash back to sense, clear maps data and flash back to CM10.1. Voilà

The only reason you have to go back to stock is to re-activate your phone.
