loaded the leaked froyo in rom form, but ever since then i can't get a pinpoint gps connection. i always get either the big blue circle or "searching for gps" when in navigator. i have since reverted back to 2.1, confirmed gps works. checked with a few other friends, not experiencing the issue. loaded froyo rom again, no restore of settings or user files, same issue existed. what would cause this? anyone else experience this? how can i fix it?
thanks

that's prolly what it was. it totally slipped my mind! i'll try that and see if it helps. thanks...
btw, can i just use a restore and update the radio with that already restored file? what's the best practice for doing something like this?

do you have unrevoked:forever? with s_off? you can't just flash a radio without it... you need to do that and search for the 2.15 radio file then flash it via Hboot... as a PB31IMG.zip file... dont be too hasty read the instructions and go slow and you should be fine

After upgrade Baseband, I got very bad signal and want to roll it back.
1. Tried to use cm recovery 2.6 to install zip file containing radio image to 2.05.00.06.10, not sucessful. However, every time it turn to 2.15.00.11.19 after reboot. I fell 6 vibrations during flash, do not know why.
2. Tried to use fastboot flash radio image，but I got "remote not allowed" message!
Could any body help out?
Thanks.

2.10.0001 radio is non-downgradeable on new hardware models.
Your phone has the new block size that is not compatible with the old radios and the remote not allowed error is because you are not using the eng hboot. Unfortunately it is not compatible as is either.
You can force it to downgrade and I believe I found a way to make it work with the new block sizes, but it's never been tested.
Ill test it. Got an extra new block size

If it doesn't work though you're pretty much guaranteed to be bricked. But if it's a phone you're not worried about I've been dying to find out if this will actually work.
Yes i will sacrafice. Gettin a nexus s 4g anyways...seriously will test tho

Right on, all you need to do is downgrade to the eng hboot from the hboot and before rebooting or doing anything set 'fastboot -n 4096'
That *should* let you use the eng hboot. You still won't be unable to downgrade your radio though, although afterward it may let you flash the old radios without so much as a warning.
Ok will do. Hboot usb or fastboot usb?
Tryed this but i still get six short vibrates when flashing the radio

fastboot USB, as I previously said you will probably never be able to downgrade the radio. Sorry but that's just how it is.
Are you able to at least use your phone with the .76 hboot?
its weird.. there should be a way!!

Instead of downgrading so far back, have you tried downgrading the baseband from 2.15.00.11.19 to 2.15.00.09.01? If not, give it a try. You can download it and all of the other EVO radios from the link below:

If i wanted to go back and try Android 2.1 roms, do i have to downgrade the radios as well?
Trying not to make a new thread but....say if I am using a 2.2 Rom with the 2.15.00.11.09 radio and I want to flash to a 2.1 rom(I'm talking bout far back as the rooted shipped stock ROM from last June. Would I need to downgrade my radio? And does that stock ROM already come prepackaged with a kernel. I'm pretty sure the kernel needs to be downgraded for it to be compatible. When I got my EVO in Sept, I was already on 2.2. Never tried 2.1 but have always been curious to try it and see how much worse it is. Then I could say I've finally tried all three versions of Android on my phone and how far we have progressed
As you've stated, the problem would not necessarily be the rom itself not working with the new radios, but whether or not the default kernel would work properly. Give it a shot. The worst that *should* happen is bootlooping. At that point, you can either reboot into recovery and flash a different kernel or downgrade the radio, PRI and NV. Of course, this is my opinion. You can download the rom from here . By the way, according to the descriptions on the shipped roms, the radios appear to be included.

just read that i can't downgrade my radio because i'm running the 2.10 HBOOT and on HW003. but if downgrading the radio is not necessarily important to run a rooted 2.1 rom then i don't have much to worry about do i? also, those links you posted: i can flash those RUU's in recovery like i would any other rom? i don't want to go back to stock and be unrooted.
i was thinking of running the 1.32.651.1 rooted rom from Flipzmode, and if need to - download the appropirate kernel link next to it on the detailed ROM wiki thread maintained by Toast.
You cannot downgrade your HBOOT from 2.10 (not necessarily accurate) without a risk of problems, however, you can downgrade the baseband, PRI and NV. I've done it several times. I've downgrade from baseband 11.19 to 09.01. As well as upgrade to 04.08. I've also downgraded my PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 all while having HBOOT 2.10.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
i've downgraded my PRI because of the wakelock issues.
so you can downgrade the baseband to a certain extent? only within the 2.15 radios? but you cant downgrade to the radios that were on Eclair? if i can run 2.1 roms on 2.15 radios then by all means i'm going to try it out. thanks for the info doug
So i have been recently flashing cm7 builds since RC1 and now I'm using the stable build that they have just released awhile ago. I have been experiencing bad signal and poor 3g connection along with sporadic signal loss and signal gains. Before I have had better connections than this. I have been reading around and I'm not sure if its either the ROM or my radio, PRI, baseband versions. I have never touched them since I bought my device, so I was wondering if they were out of date / needed updating. What are they exactly and should I be updating them frequently ? I know its a high possibilty to brick phones by updating a bad radio, PRI.. but if i could solve this bad connection problem how would I go about updating all of this? What exactly should I be updating?
baseband version
2.15.00.09.01
PRL version
60671
i dont really know what more I should put in to help you gain a better understanding of my situation.
Thanks for your help.

You can flash the combo at the top to update your wimax, and radio, along with PRI&NV. You flash in recovery, just wipe dalvik and cache.
As for PRL, backup your current rom, flash a sense rom, then click update profile from system, then flash back.

Those are def not the most recent.
Most recent (released) radio ends in 11.19
PRL is 60677
PRI an nv are 1.90.003, if you're on 1.77 though, you might want to leave it, people ahve reported battery issues with 1.90.
What rom should I flash to update the PRL?
Most sense ROMs will work
Azrael
Myn Warm RLS 5
MikFroyo
Sprint Lovers
Stock Rooted, etc
Just make sure it's not Sense 2.0.
Does this work with clockworkmod? I heard this doesn't support amend writing. Is the baseband version ending in 00.04.08 is the latest? if so can someone provide a link for me? Should I flash the radio, wimax, pri, etc before I flash the sense rom and update my prl? So I just go into my recovery and flash the zip file? I'm not comfortable with the combo, so I might do it one by one. Is there a specific order that I should flash these?
bump......
Possible answer to lost 3g
I thought it was the new ....04.08 radio that was released for the GB ROM that leaked, which I flashed (Tmartin's). However, I have been having the issue for a day or two now and my neighbor who has an unrooted stock EVO shift 4g and his wife has a Palm Pre and they asked ME if I was having issues with data/phone calls too the past day. Long story short, I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM's of late anyways(can't speak for the past), I think it is Sprint PERIOD.
I live in Baltimore and it seems people across the country whether rooted or not are having issues.
I don't think it will flash in clockwork.
You could always just flash the sprint lovers all in one update ROM.

You can use a version prior to 3+ of clockwork which doesn't use edify scripting.
That is correct. Thanks.
so i can just flash these zips through recovery? im might use amon ra through rom manager. is it wise to flash the 2.15.00.04.08 baseband if i could find it? or is it for some leaked GB ROM... is myns warm 2.2 rls5 okay for updating prl? it requires that i need to update the radio/wimax. or is sprint lovers easier?

Yea, well I seemed to have a little better speed.
so why isn't the radio 2.15.00.04.08 not the latest baseband on caulkins thread? What is it for? Im still on 2.15.00.11.19...
so, i been running cm7.1 for a while. but something, somewhere (i think it was the market) was giving me fc's multiple times a day. fixing permissions would last a second. so, i went back to my stock rom, looking to get that sweet, sweet 2.3.4 ota update.
as many of you know, that ota update, rooted or not, fails for...i don't know...everybody? most people? just us lucky few?
well, i went for it anyways. my phone rebooted, the update starts to install (progress bar goes to about 10%), then it craps out, and i get the yellow bang. a battery pull later, i'm back to my stock 2.2 rom. checking for updates says i'm up to date. NOW, THOUGH...
i cannot connect to bluetooth with any of my roms, and when i walk away from wifi, i don't get emails (maybe tests, too) until i'm back on wifi. so, i figure i need to reflash my radio, which is 2.15.00.07.28.
so, can i flash the latest radio here (2.15.10.07.07)? or, should i stick with a reflashed version of what i've currently got. or, do you think there might be something else wrong, besides the radio?
stupid, horking update...
thx!

if you are on the OTA you will need the newer radio. if you did the RUU.exe for the OTA it will install the radio for you but only do this if you do not want root.
if you have root i would hboot the 07.07 radio and flash one of the many OTA based roms in the dev area. or you can go back to CM7 if you like.
thx for the quick reply. i want to make sure i'm clear...
so, no. i am NOT on the ota, as it failed. i did not use the ruu. it really was, actually, over the air. i do have root and would like to keep it. given that, you are saying that it's safe to upgrade my 2.2 stock rom to the 07.07 radio. is that correct?
thx again!

yes the 07.07 radio will work on froyo but gingerbread doesnot work well on the lower radios to my knowledge.
before updated the radio please make sure the md5 sums match. if the zip is corrupt in any way it WILL brick the phone.
please follow this thread on how to do it. LINK
to make sure the md5 match you can use an app called Astro file manager. its free in market.
(i know the thread says there is an 08.08 radio, this is leaked radio and should only be used if you feel comfortable on what you are doing)
thx guys. i reflashed my 07.28 radio and everything is hunky dory!
07.07...i got my eye on you...

I rooted, downgraded and s-off and , and installed Jermaine151 Stock+ v3.01
My baseband is showing as 2.15.00.07.28 Is that what it's supposed to have? Everything SEEMS to be working okay, but everything I've found about that baseband says it's for Froyo, not GB. Is that going to be a problem in some way, or should I flash a more current baseband? I am very new to all this rooting and stuff, but if anyone could tell me for sure, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

added during editing...Reason why I posted here, is I could not post in the developer forum due to low post count. I also read through the Stock+ ROM thread and didn't see anything about this.
The baseband is the radio, you can actually upgrade that at anytime. What you are supposed to have is entirely dependent on the radio you install. The reason it's not mentioned in the thread is because your radio signal strength is dependent upon many factors, primarily your proximity to Verizon towers.
Have you thought about installing a new radio? If so, have you downloaded one yet?

Well as Slim stated you can use which ever works best for you, but technicly stock+ is a gingerbread based rom, and radio 2.15.10.07.07 was released with gingerbread by htc. The radio your on now is from the release of froyo. Also htc evo 4g radios will work for our phones, i believe their latest is 2.15.10.0808
You can get the radios here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=18, they are all compatible with the incredible. There are also other radios not listed on the pvillecomp site, do a little googling and you can find them. Pvilles site are just the major release ones.
I know that I had the most current radio after the OTA was pushed to me. My brother's Inc is still stock, unrooted and running the OTA 2.3.4 His radio is 2.15.10.07.07 I think. Is my radio different because of the 2.2 downgrade that I did? If I don't notice any voice or data reception issues, would leaving my 7.28 radio installed cause any problems? I did put my phone next to my brother's phone and the signal strength dBm were basically identical(within a number or two of each other)
I have looked at a few threads about upgrading to updated radios, but I understand the risk of bricking is higher than the root, downgrade, s-off and Rom install I have done.
What is the best app for testing download and upload speeds if I do decide to try out new radios so I could have a way of comparing to find which is better?
Any suggestions on radios to try?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Yes you have the .28 radio because it is required to use unrevoked, and get s-off. Staying on the froyo radio wont hurt a thing, its which ever works best for you.
I think Ooklas speed test app is the best, its also available online at speedtest.net
Dont be affraid to flash new radios. Its true that it is the most common way of bricking a phone, however it still rarley ever happens. I have changed my radio so many times i cant even count. The best and safest way to do it is only download radios from a reputable source, always check the md5 sums and make sure what you downloaded is the full uncorrupted version. Never flash a radio while on low battery, and never interrupt a radio flash in any way, if it freezez while flashing do not pull the battery or jam buttons come here to xda and get help on what to do. If you do that you should have no issues.
Thanks to the both of you for replying to my questions.
I have reflashed my baseband to the 07.07 file. Everything went flawlessly, no problems and everything seems to be working fine.
Thanks again for your help.
Jim
edit...A friend at work has the EVO 4g. His baseband ends in 12.19 Is that the latest evo baseband and is it usable on the Inc? And is it available somewhere for download?
I haven't heard anything about a newer radio. The latest official is what you have, 07.07, but I wouldn't be surprised if 12.19 worked too-both phones have similar internals. That 12.19 radio may be from 2010 because these phones have been out for a long while so that is a possibility as well. But for the record, I'm here often and I haven't seen an Inc user mention a new Evo radio from December 2011 so I wouldn't bother searching for it.

I just did a search and found this http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/486888-new-ota-4-67-651-3-out-do-not-accept.html. It says that an update came out for the evo last month, and it contains radio 2.15.00.12.19. So it does seem thats the newest one. I cant find a download link, but i'll se if i can find an ruu and extract it for you.
EDIT: Here ya go found it, just flash thru hboot.
