I had non working GPS (5 minute lock) / 4G (Scan forever even with other roms) / and USB connect not connecting on your computer I have a simple fix
Find this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773444
This is stock sprint rom with rooted
Use RAMON recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery/screen rotation
Flash to stock sprint rom
After doing that my GPS locked before my google maps could even load correctly, my 4g connected immediately 12MBs speed test (Houston, Texas)
And my computer recognizes and actually doesn't drop my phone
It may not work for everybody but it definately works for me
After this I decide to flash to another rom. i don't like paying 10 bucks a month for 4G and not use it. Vaelrom ^^
Last time I checked, there is no 4g in CM6...did I miss something here?
lol
So this activates 4g in cm6? which nightly!?
CM6 does not provide 4G at this time. nothing you can do to fix this unless you can code.
it's AmonRA (like the egyptian god) not RAMON (like noodle)
so basically the OP is giving you this suggestion..
1) always read the First Post for any ROM you want to play with.
...often common issues are listed there...or you can search the thread
2) do a nandroid
...dont forget to delete the old old nandroids...they do take up space
3) if you are having issues...do a full wipe and try a different ROM.
...because we all like a lil strange now and then
(ok..the first two suggestions are mine)
And for all those who don't like their current ROM, I have a fix for that as well...
try a different ROM. It may not work for everyone because the new ROM may not be as cool the one you just had, but it worked for me. Problem solved!
Hi guys, I have rooted my htc desire and flashed with it with Oxygen.
However I have a problem - my phone will not connect to my mobile operator?
When I select "about phone > status > signal strength" that shows -93db and 10asu - So does that mean there is signal?
The desire was branded and locked to Orange. At first I thought it was a simlock issue, but I have a unlock code. Every time I restart the device it asks me to input the code, however it still does not allow me to connect to my operator (O2 uk).
After going through a few threads I am stumped so I am seeking advice! I have tried different radio versions to no avail, different ROMs also so can anyone offer some suggestions as to the solution please?
Anyhelp would greatly be appreciated, thanks!

1. Reset/restore your APN
settings - wireless & network - mobile networks - access points
You should see your provider and a check box. Press the menu button, select reset to standard and wait till it's done (or add manually).
The path was translated from german, so please look for the appropriate setting on your phone.
2. If your sd card doesn't mount or usb doesn't connect, search for usb brick fix here in the forum.
3. If 1 or 2 doesn't help, wipe everything (not your sd card!) and reflash your rom. After rebooting flash again the latest radio.
thanks for the responses, I have tried resetting apn but that did not work for me. I have however managed to solve this problem by restoring stock RUU and unrooting. I then reflashed oxygen and all is working fine.
My radio version is running on 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09 currently, however I will update this to the latest version 5 radio and see if my connection or simlock occurs. Do you guys think that a radio update is necessary or that I should keep the one that I have now?
Thanks
any chance you could post how you restored stock ruu
I am having issue in connecting mobile data, although I have the "data enabled" option ticked, but there is no mobile data icon appears on the status bar.
I googled and tried lots of apn setting for my carrier however none of them can solve my problem. I have done the "search automatically" method under network operators. Also, I have tried flash newer cyanogenmod nightly and other radio version over my original cyagenmod rom, but none of these help.
Please advice on how could I get my mobile data working again.
Mobile data issue
I am facing the same issue . Any one knows wat could resolve this??
which radio version r u having????
Hope I can help you
Quoted from CM7's official thread for HTC wildfire (Buzz):
If you have any issues with GPS, 3G or any other network issues, try flashing the following radio firmware. NB, it's not possible to flash this zip from ClockworkMod 3, so if you have this version installed, use ROM Manager to flash it instead.

I deactivated my 3G subscription. Deleted the APN. Activated 3G subscription. Recreated the APN and voila I am connecting via 3G. I hope this would help others facing this issue as well.

Hi,
I have tried all three radio versions, flashed all 3 of them several times for the last 3-4 days but I am still not able to enable the functions of GPS & Mobile Data (Internet) on my rooted HTC Wildfire. Currently I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1.
I am really going crazy over this. In google maps, location is found only while using wi-fi. With GPS location is not found although the GPS icon comes in status bar. Mobile internet doesnt work at all.
Please help.

As a last resort (this will do a clean wipe of all data) -
Run an RUU for your phone
- Downloaded from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps
I've found quite a few seperate threads on different sites about this same problem, most with different solutions.
My Original Aim:
To install the latest build of Cyanogenmod on my R800i
Methods:
I unlocked the bootloader, that worked fine but...
Problems:
after root, the phone cannot read my sim card (this is the general problem many of us seem to be having)
also:
Wi-fi connects fine, but...
the web browser cannot connect
the market seems to just crash second after opening [seem to have gotten through this problem now, will keep updating]
Any G app constantly requests login details but still cannot connect
This basically means i can't get the clockworkmod ROM manager from the market, so can't continue with my cyanogen flashing.
[from more searching it seems clockworkmod ROM manager can't flash on the play, so trying to boot it myself using other guide]
[now using fastboost to boot up SWD recovery, and then load cyanogenmod from there. will update with results]
[couldn't flash on cyanmod, some sort of assert failure... this is not going well at all]
Theory:
It could have something to do with the newest firmware update from sony? (might be UK only)
Either way, Everywhere I search seems to have a different solution, any chance anyone here has some clear and better advice? I'd like to get Cyanogenmod running, but if not then just returning back to the default firmware would be good enough.
I'll keep working at this and update as I find solutions. Eventually update this into a thread explaining how to fix the problem.
[EDIT: another useful thing might be to figure out what the source of the problem is, so we can tag/fix those instructions that might cause this]
Check the BaseBand version if it is "unknown", if it is, u need to flash your phone again
Same thing has happened to me , after unlocking boot loader and then rooting.
I no signal , (no service) message , also baseband is unkown , I have flashed a few uk roms and no good
Keeps saying insert sim card , i have tried o2 and tmobile , just the same.
EDIT : MANGED TO FIX MY PROBLEM, FLASHED THE FIRMWARE FROM THE THREAD BELOW.

Running Oxygen 2.3.2 on a rooted and S-OFF HTC Desire (stock HBOOT), which I flashed tonight.
The WIFI appears to connect to my home network but the phone does not actually receive any internet access.
Prior to rooting I was using the WIFI without issues, and nothing has changed in the network since I rooted - my laptop is currently successsfully connected to the internet.
Security is WPA/WPA2, which I changed from WEP ages ago when a buggy tablet wouldn't connect and I was checking it wasn't the encryption that was causing the problem. the phone was connecting to the WPA/WPA2 succesfully. No proxy.
I've searched and haven't found anyone with this exact issue, so I'm not sure how to go about troublshooting.
- I didn't think flashing the Oxygen HBOOT listed on the alphadev site would solve this problem, so I haven't done that yet.
What's your radio version?

5.09.05.30_2 (stock radio).
Although I haven't checked since I flashed either cyanogen or Oxygen (WIFI wasn't working on cyanogen and I didn't like the ROM a whole lot anyways), but I don't think custom ROMs touch the radio - unless I'm mistaken?
You should definitively upgrade your radio version to the latest one - 5.17.05.23. You can find download link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464 The latest radio is highly recommended when using custom ROM, because they are usually tested with latest radio.

Okay, cheers, will do.
EDIT: Nevermind, after scrolling from 2010 to 2012 posts and across two forums, I found the answer (simplest response is on here for anyone interested -- essentially, the method listed is apparently a very old one, pre-recovery days. Just use recovery to flash the radio like you would with a ROM. No wipe needed, apparently.)
I'm assuming you've done this already?
If so, could you explain step 6 - where do I get the .bat script / modaco r5 root pack... Do I even need it since my phone is rooted and has recovery etc?
(I've read several people saying you "just flash it like you would flash a ROM", so I'm guessing that means loading the radio's .zip file onto my SD card and flashing from recovery like I would with a ROM?)
1. Turn your desire off
2. Hold the back button and turn your desire on
3. When you are at the white screen, make sure BOOTLOADER is selected and press the power button
4. Wait a few seconds then press volume down to select RECOVERY and press the power button again
5. When you are at the screen with the red triangle and the phone, plug in the usb cable
6. Run the recovery-windows.bat script from modaco r5 root pack
7. When the recovery menu appears select 'Flash zip from sdcard'
8. Select the radio zip file and press the trackerball to confirm
9. Press the trackerball over 'Reboot system now'
10. When the radio image has finished being written unplug the usb cable
11. The phone will reboot a couple of times and then return to a normal state with your new radio

The steps you found are probably outdated. It's really simple. Download latest radio and put it to the root of your SD card. Then you have to reboot to recovery (directly from running ROM or with volume down button pressed when powering up the device). Once you're in recovery, select update from zip (I don't know if you're using Clockworkmod or 4Ext) and choose zip file you downloaded before. Device should reboot and reflash the radio. That's all...
Does upgrading the radio influence the WIFI though?
I've been reading the radio-related post that lists the newest radios and there's a lot of talk about GPS and signal strength improving / worsening with radio changes, but haven't yet found anything relating to WIFI.

Yes it's related with WIFI too.

Ah crap
Just flashed the latest radio (5.17 etc) as I would with a ROM - yes I did a nand backup using Amon Ra.
Anyways, flashed it - told me it was doing its thing, asked me to restart system to allow it to finish etc, so I did.
It flashed to the HTC boot screen, then returned to Amon Ra recovery
Its now been about 5-10minutes and there's a msg saying:
Build: RA-desire-v2.0.1
Formatting CACHE:...
And that's it. Hasn't moved a bit since that screen and msg came back.
What can I do now? I can navigate the Amon Ra recovery menu, but I'm scared to reboot the system in case I brick my phone.... help please!

So I accidentally solved the problem when I accidentally hit hte trackball and confirmed the "reboot system now" option from the main menu.
Radio is upgraded successfully by the looks of it.
Unfortunately though, WIFI still doesn't work
You've gone through all the trouble of changing your radio. Did you ever bother to try other roms first?
You say that nothing has changed with your wifi connection but you are using a secured connection. Did you even tried a connection with your wifi unsecured and try to establish a connection with the phone?

If you're going to just get narky, then I'm not sure why you're posting, tbh.
Yes, I had used cyanogen 7 prior to oxygen and had the same problem.
And I only flashed oxygen on Monday night, so I don't have the luxury of running around finding unsecured wifi during my work days.
Having said that, a neighbour leaves unsecure wifi on late at night, and I can pick it up and managed to briefly connect to the net before the signal strength died., so yes I'm assuming I can connect to at least one unsecured network.
Which I guess means something's been changed in the scripts running in custom roms vs stock, which isn't helpful.
Well, could you confirm you have the latest radio now? I mean was the upgrade successful? Did you try to do nandroid backup, wipe device and test from scratch with fresh install?

I'm just suggesting things that ya'll may have overlooked. I've used CM and Oxygen and never had any issues with wifi may it be what type of security being implemented.
Well after playing around with my router's settings for ages, I finally made it work by changing the mode from "b/g/n mixed" to "b/g mixed". I was able to keep my WPA2 security on.
- Yep, radio was succesfully upgraded, even though it didn't appear to be.
I guess these custom ROMs do something to the WIFI component of the Desire because I was able to connect to the network with the b/g/n mixed mode in use before I flashed the custom ROMs.
This is annoying because it means I'll likely not be able to use any public WIFI hotspots that are set as b/g/n mixed...
Just to illustrate how tricky this can be. I had the same symptoms on my HTC Desire: Wifi connected OK to a b/g/n router but would not transfer any data through browsers, email, PlayStore, anything really.
Initially running Miui 2.4.9 and Wifi was OK.
Upgraded to Miui 2.4.13 but the ugrade did not complete successfully. The phone worked except that Wifi connected but didn't work.
Restored the phone with an earlier backup of MildWild CM-8.0 ROM which used to have working Wifi. Wifi still no good.
Flashed latest Radio 5.17.05.23. Wifi still no good.
Flashed earlier Radio 5.09.05.30. Wifi still no good.
Flashed full GB Miui 2.4.13 ROM. Wifi still no good.
Re-flashed latest Radio 5.17.05.23. Wifi works!!!! WTF?
