I just flashed the new radios and now have no 4G signal at home. Do they take some time to settle in? I was getting 4G fine before. Is there a way I can go back to the old radios or do something to get 4G back?
Thank you in advance for your help and have a blessed day!

Try doing a factroy reset in Hboot. If that doesn't work, re-run whatever RUU you are currently on.
Thanks, I am backing up now and will try the factory reset soon. I will let you know the result.
No luck.....I will be running an RUU now. Thank you for your help!

Well I certainly hope the RUU helps man. ICS on this phone is pretty screwey
yeah me too, thank you for your help
Is there a flashable zip of the gingerbread radios? Or do I need to ruu? I am S-off if that matters at all.
If you are running the latest radios for ICS, you need to be on that Hboot 2.21 or 2.25 for them to work correctly.
Thanks! I will update the HBOOT now
I recently did the same thing, flashed the leaked radio only and lost 4G. And S-Off as well. I could only get 3G and that was pretty lousy data speeds. I may have taken the longer way to fix it but I did the full RUU back to Gingerbread and the 4G was working again. I then did the full newest ICS leak and still had 4G. It's possible that you might get away with just running the full ICS leak and get your 4G back as well. Then you will have to flash the ICS JB Hboot again to benefit from the S-Off.
just to make sure I'm clear...I'm on 2.25 hboot, with s-off,3.14 firmware and the 1.22 radios from 5/7. I should be ok with reverting to gb radios right? I didn't want to switch to gb radios without full understanding.
Thanks, I believe I am back in business!

No u have to have a gingerbread hboot in order to use gingerbread radios. So you'll need to downgrade to the gb firmware first

Not the final but another leak with a new radio. Hopefully this means the OTA is close and im praying we finally get some custom kernels. Wish we could flash the radio seperatly though.

You CAN flash the radio separately... but I believe you still need to lock the phone first and flash the firmware.img file inside a PH98IMG.zip at HBOOT.

No.. I believe you need S-OFF to flash it from recovery, or to flash it without first re-locking your phone and doing it from HBOOT.
Can we RUU back if there are issues with this build?
Im not updating until this goes final but how do we relock the device? I assume after we upgrade we can unlock again?

Yes, you would just have to go through the procedure at HTC dev again to unlock.
to relock in fast boot at a command prompt fastboot oem lock.
and that will relock it .

yep I figured they wouldn't release ever since they announced the one series of phones.
we will not see sense 4.0 because of the HTC One Series phones.
Once those are released, we have a ten fold better chance at seeing sense 4.0..Officially..
we will be getting sense 4.0 as a ROM that's stable and nice, IMO, soon.
So the phone has to be stock, not unlocked..and I can install ics that easy? Any riskz?

Just to let u guys know the screenshot is incorrect for whatever reason. I updated to the new leak and it does have new radios. I don't know how to post a screenshot but the baseband version now shows 1.22.10.0310r, 1.22.10.0308r. Also, new PRI version is 1.16_002, 2.07_002.

I completely dissagree.
as unlocked is great, as we have root.
s-off is desirebale, and this is why,
with s-off, you can flash radio's in hboot, you can't do that with s-on, you must install the OTA, RUU.
but I do agree that unlocking us is a very good thing, but s-off does have many more benefits.
with s-off we could flash the new ICS firmware, and if you didn't like it flash back to GB OTA.
withs-on, if you flash that "leak" firmware, (or any other firmware, radio,hboot) you are now stuck on them.
The main things I miss from having an s-off phone was these,
1) flashing anything and everything I wanted, I could accept OTA, flash hboots, flash radios, whatever I wanted.
this was thanks to the XTC clip and having s-off.

Thanks for clarifying this. So what you are saying is even with the MainVer "fix" (setting to low) we can't flash a GB RUU after we flash an ICS RUU?
If so then I was misinformed or interpreted my research improperly. I was under the impression that we could still do whatever we wanted even though doing so might require additional steps.
TIA
Edit: Apparently this is looking bleak. Doesn't appear as if you can downgrade the RUU. This was apparently tried unsuccessfully as discussed in the Scott's Rom thread. Really sucks and is a great reason why S-off is needed. Not that you would want to downgrade but this is MY phone dammit'.
Edit 2: Good News. Scrosler just flashed back to a GB Rom and had no issues other then the "SD Card" issue which he stated was an "easy" fix. This still doesn't allow for a radio downgrade but apparently the new radios are still compatible with the GB ROM's. LINK
I'm just seeing how many people are affected by this if they lost their 4G connection and their phone refuses to connect to any 4G or it drops after a minute after connecting?
Option A:
Flash stock recovery (Download Here) and do a factory reset in HBOOT.
Option B:
Now Flash any RUU, GB or ICS. LEAVE EVERYTHING STOCK!. Don't flash anything yet! Now in HBOOT, do a factory reset. Do not factory reset inside of recovery! Thank you. And do not mix hboots and radios

yes, the old HBOOT and the New Radios don't work well together. Go back to the GB OTA Radios and it will be solved.
I'm on the latest ICS leak with the newest HBOOT and newest Radios HBOOT 2.21
For those with over heating issues and 4G not stable here is what I did to fix my phone running Newts XxX Sense 4 RC 2.1 Rom:
I flashed the ENG HBOOT, then the old firmware patch as it is required for your ICS rom to work after flashing the ENG HBOOT.
Link to where I downloaded the ENG HBOOT and Old Firmware Patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1614366
After I flashed the GB Radios from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1612555
Now my phone is averaging 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit when not charging and the rom is running so much better and I have 4G back and its stable as is WiFi and 3G. So it looks like once you have S-Off this is the solution by flashing the ENG HBOOT and the old firmware patch. The overheating issues everyone is having with the ICS Radios is fixed with downgrading the radios back to GB. Hope this helps

Then you should be fine. But if you just installed "RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00. 1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_22 1502_signed" then you're actually on the latest GB HBOOT and Radios, not the ICS leak... In which case you should also now be fine. Its when mixing HBOOT 2.10/2.11 with the latest ICS Leak Radios that you have the problem
you originally described in your first post with regards to 4G connectivity.
I have not installed HBOOT 2.21 and tried them without the old radios yet - but I don't think it would work well either.

Can't think of any other issue - unless its literally something that just requires a full wipe to fix. If you can make a nandroid backup, it may be worthwhile to do a wipe and see if that fixes it.

where'd you get the 2.21 hboot? I'm with a 4g issue as well since I'm on ics 3.x firmware on CR dev edition with 2.x gb radios on 2.11 hboot
Right now im running a sense 4 rom, with an unlocked bootloader. I need to go back to stock sense 3.5 for someone because im selling the phone. My phone is also S-On. I relocked and tried flashing the latest gingerbread RUU but got Error [140] BootLoader version problem. Any ideas guys?
If you ran a Ics ruu leak the Best you can do is run a gb Rom. If you s off you can run the gingerbread ruu. This is why so many people wanted s off...now they can flash leaked ruu and radios upgrading or downgrading easily.

Hey the wire trick isn't bad just make sure you aren't touching the exposed wire. and the end that goes in the hole make sure it's touching the contact. Then touch the other indicated point for a moment then take it of count one-thousand two-tho then touch it again then. The whole time you keep the other end in the hole on the contact. If you mess up it will just keep telling you to try again. Only bad thing is if you touch the ends of the wire, make sure it's insulated.

Man thanks for the help y all. I just found superchilpils packages. I used root explorer and unzipped, then pulled the H boot and zipped it up. Renamed and flashed. It didn't affect my hboot and it took my radios back to older ones. My data speeds are greatly improved. I'm getting 32mb dl speeds and before in the same are I was struggling to get 16mb. Fantastic!
I am using a T-mobile HTC One. It was previously rooted. I restored to stock by using the RUU from HTC. I unlocked the bootloader so I currently have unlocked S-on. My HBOOT Ver is: 1.44.0000. Radio Version is 4A.17.3250.20. Am I screwed or can I still get S-OFF? I have tried Revone but it's not working. Any Ideas?

Sorry dude, pretty much screwed until they find a work around for the .11 update. I made the mistake of accidentally S-On and forgetting to lock instead of relocking my bootloader (wanted to return for warranty purposes). After that I've tried pretty much everything from downgrading to the stock ROM using customs ROMS trying to edit RUU's to work with my phone (Do not try this, easiest way to brick your very expensive phone) Nothing works as of now, Htc and t-mobile screwed us by not giving us the Stock RUU they knew what they were doing. But yes you have to wait.
*NOTE* On the otherhand i did learn that i didn't need to lock my bootloader to return it for warranty purposes the guy at the t-mobile store replaced it right there for me no questions asked. But the replacement i got came with the updated .11 ROM which means no S-Off for me still.
Damn. That's what I was afraid of. I just kept reading that as long as you had 1.44 h-boot it was still possible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Well thanks anyway for responding.

Wait I thought you could s-off with that hboot i thought 5xxx was unable to s-off
You can s-off hboot 1.44 as long as you haven't taken the latest tmobile ota or used the tmobile ruu, they patched whatever it was that allowed us to s-off in the latest version

You can downgrade from .11 to .8 using a custom ruu. Google " downgrade from .11 to .8 rootzwiki" and you'll find it.

Ok guys not to sound stupid but I've rooted plenty of phones and have had pretty much every top tier phone. I've rooted all my android phones. I just don't understand the s-off portion of it all. I have s-off and currently rooted. What advantage do I have over someone that doesn't have s-off? I got my one already rooted so I never went through the process. I guess that's why I'm confused. I'm used to Samsung phones.
When the update comes next week should i just wait for a rooted version of it? I'm assuming so.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
S-OFF basically allows you to do 2 main things you couldn't otherwise pertaining to Roms and such:
1- flash unsigned RUUs. You can flash custom firmware that don't belong to your device. IE: you can flash the newest 4.3 firmware prior to 4.3 releasing for the T-Mobile One.
2: get yourself out of a jam. Here's a great example. Let's say you flashed the stock GPE recovery and ROM. Your S-ON. You wanted the full GPE experience. Your phone took the newest update. It will flash 1.54 Hboot and update the boot loader to the black GPE version although you are S-ON and not running the GPE device. Without S-ON your SOL if you needed to go back to stock for whatever reason because the HBoot can't be rolled back on S-ON.
Its a good protection to have in your back pocket IMO

So that would explain how I am able to flash Roms from the international version. Well I guess I better be careful with any RUUs that are to come. I need to figure out how I'm going to update when the tmobile One's 4.3 update comes this week.

So once S-OFF is achieved, can flashing any RUU set it back to S-ON? If so, how can that be avoided?
I have a tmobile phone flashed with launch WWE firmware; don't care about WiFi calling or any carrier bloat, but did want the 1700 HSPA+. I'm thinking of clean flashing to latest Tmobile RUU to get the supposed LTE reception improvements, then going from there to back to launch WWE and to latest WWE (to try to retain settings).

No you would have to purposely set it back to s-on, an RUU won't do it. Would you be doing the tmobile Thu then installing WWE Rom ? Or flashing WWE RUU? Cause the ruu would just reset everything XP

I'm thinking:
Full backup with twrp
Flash ruu
Restore backup with twrp
Apply WWE update
Oh yeah then that should work just wanted to make sure :thumbup:

Thanks. It does seem a bit like voodoo magic but I want to avoid any possible issues that people in the radio only thread have reported.
use rumrunner to achirve s-off. thats the only way then use revone to reset tamper

I am using a T-mobile HTC One. It was previously rooted. I restored to stock by using the RUU from HTC. I unlocked the bootloader so I currently have unlocked S-on. My HBOOT Ver is: 1.44.0000. Radio Version is 4A.17.3250.20. Am I screwed or can I still get S-OFF? I have tried Revone but it's not working. Any Ideas?

use rumrunner to achieve s-off then use revone to reset tampered flag on your bootloader.
