[Help]Skyraider 3.1 RC3 GPS Fix - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just finished installing skyraider 3.1 RC3 (yes I flashed it over 3.0 Rc3) and my GPS isn't working (Didn't work during 2.5.2 either).

More info, such as which baseband version are you running, would be helpful

Ok I'm on baseband 1.00.03.04.06

You have to update your radio to 2.15. Then gps will work.

Alright ill try that out thanks

I tried updating to 2.15 after I used unrevoked forever but it doesn't ask me if I want to update

pretty sure you have to manually flash the update. if you don't have the stock recovery, the update won't be pushed to your phone.

Can I do this?

Can I update my radios to
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
and
Wimax26023
while on stock 2.1 without the 1.47 OTA installed?
I'm "rooted" with Unrevoked
I downloaded and ready to boot into Recovery and try it but figured I'd ask before I break something. thanks guys
sure you can do that, if something breaks just restore the old radio and wimax. Reports are that that combo works fine.
I have done both on 1.47. Works fine.
How exactly do you update wimax radio on your phone? I have the file Wimax26023 and I am rooted. I just down know what to do now
Can I update to it unrooted? I'm using 3.26

Flash it though recovery like a ROM, and let it do its thing.

You still need to update.

thanks man
And just for general knowledge, unrevoked3 and clockwork can't flash radios.
sent from jdfroyo v2.0 EVO-lution
So for those of us who have done both unrevoked3 and forever, how can we go about updating our radios?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just download the desired radio update and place it on your SDcard, then boot into HBOOT and let it do its thing.

[Q] 2.2 tomorrow confirmed. am i ready?

hey guys, so VZM has officially announced that the Incredible will be getting froyo starting tomorrow! woo finally.
anyway, im concerned with making sure all of my software is ready for the OTA without any issues.
i am currently rooted, S-Off running stock 2.1update 1. im also running the leaked ota with 720p, 2.05 radio and the upgraded H-boot.
with all of the above will i be all set to get the OTA update and update while keeping all my apps and data as well as maintain S-off?
thanks for the help guys,
Kevin
Yep...you are ready

awesome, thanks.
i also have clockwork recovery running, so i believe i need to install the stock recovery image? if so how exactly do i do that?
thanks!
same sort of concern for me, I just rooted via UnRevoked 3 the other day and am going to do Forever tonight on both of our incredibles. When I flash the update, how do I regain super-user permissions in the OTA FROYO? (the update.zip) file they talk about? Any ideas (still a bit new at this). Want to be able to continue wi-fi tether again for free!
So Im rooted with unrevoked3 and forever. Didn't mess with my radio, or any kernels. So since I'm on unrevoked forever does that mean the ota will be pushed to my phone as is?

If you have unrevoked forever, just install stocl recovery once the ota gets pushed out
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
and once we have the OTA installed? How to re-gain root access?

The same way as installing stock recovery, you would just download and install clockwork recovery back to your phone

If not, the leak is the one coming ota. They're one and the same.

I'm a total noob but I installed the original leaked OTA upgrade (720p) with Radio version 2.05. Then after not being able to find a bunch of Apps I rooted and installed the leaked 8/1 Froyo. So now in about phone I have:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband: 2.05.00.06.11
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-g5e1ab8b ([email protected]#1
Build Number: 3.16.605.0 CL203589 release-keys
Software Number: 3.16.605.0
If the OTA Froyo gets pushed to my phone is it safe for me to accept and upgrade? I realize root might be lost but I'm most concerned about the radio thing. I've heard of people bricking their phone if they upgrade that incorrectly. Will the new OTA upgrade the radio (to 2.15?) - and I am I good to go?
Thanks for any info and sorry for my lack of experience.....
-Jay
thanks i just wanted to make sure I had everything ready to go and it really was as easy as re-installing clock-work after the official OTA to gain root access again!

pretty sure it wil only brick if you update the same radio twice, I had no problem running the update on kernel and radio.

Just to clarify this: You must have the stock recovery BEFORE you accept the OTA. Otherwise, the new radio won't flash and features will not work. There are instructions on how to install the stock recovery with s-off here.
I'm rooted and running 2.2 that was leaked a month or so ago with radio 2.05...will I get the OTA update and, if so, is there anything I will need to do different than anyone else who is running stock 2.1 before I do the update?

Sry I ready this after I alrready submited my last post...but I have the exact same set-up as you Jay...I have the same concerns. I've heard some people saying that we have to revert back to 2.1 before accepting the update...is this true?
Ok im a total noob at this.
I am currently rooted with forever
i have:
firmware: 2.1 update1
baseband: 1.00.03.04.06 (had 2.15 before)
Will i not receive the update if i don't have stock recovery?
I want to avoid wiping all my information from my phone (which i understand flashing the stock recovery does)
again sorry im a noob.
if someone could write out a quick step by step it would be GREATLY appreciated.
You'll receive the notification to update I assume. But you'll need stock recovery to actually go through with it. Then after install put clock work back on...

[Q] Why Won't Myn's Rom Flash?

This is almost the 4th time I have tried flashing this rom. Never gets past the Evo 4G white screen at all. I have tried 3 different ways.
Clockwork (2 different versions)
RA
Download through Rom Manager
I then tried flashing CM 6.1 just to see if it would work and it worked just fine. I am downloading the file from the Myn official thread. It's Rls 4. Seeing how big the thread is and all the people using it, I know it works for tons of people.
I do all the steps as in wipe all the data and everything.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?

The RLS4 does not work well with the new radios..did u update your radios? Also if you did RLS5 is coming out very soon which does work with the new radios. If that is your situation I would recommend flashing a 3.70 rom that is out until RLS5 comes out. If you didnt update your radios i would ask in the myn thread about your situation. Lots of developments lately with recoveries and Hboots that you may want to look into to make sure you are runnig the correct recovery for your evo.
Actually I did update my new radios. When I probably should not have. My build is 3.3 and I had the 1.9 PRI and it caused my phone to stay in 100% wake and drain the battery constantly even with no use. Went back to 1.7 and it worked like a charm.
How can I flash back down to an older version radio? I have not tried this and I believe this may be the problem
Thanks man!!
Installed the older radio version and it started up like a charm!

last OTA update upgraded the radios for the evo...look in android development you can find caulkins thread about the new radios. He has an all in one package that can upgrade your radios or downgrade if need be.
edit: Look in my sig the updated wimax link

[Q] GPS issues

new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?
I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..
that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past
The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version

when I flash through hboot should I wipe as if I'm flashing another rom? I flashed a 2.2 ruu before the OTA went out and I ended up bootlooping and everything forced closed on me. I think that's what made me root in the first place.
where do i go to get it
Having the same issue my GPS has not worked for like the past 6 months if anyone has found a fix to the problem. I'm running lous #8 the new evo radio .04.08
