Hey guys my buddy asked me to root rom and install a kernel on his one v from virgin mobile. being as i have done this before to multiple phones i was happy to help. i unlocked the bootloader, rooted it. everything was smooth up til there. i did not put a rom on it yet because he urged me to install a kernel so he could overclock his one v. i was aprehensive but i did it anyway. now his phone wont work. im not surprised but i need to fix it. ive tried installing roms to make it work because the backup ive created in twrp wont boot. so im thinking its a kernel problem. no matter what rom i use it will either not boot it will freeze at the screen that says htc and with the red wording below it. or it will boot into the rom and then freeze or run for about 30 sec then restart and it will repeat this until it dies. ive looked everywhere for ways to get it back to stock ive flashe countless roms none work ive flashed many kernels and none work as well. please help. i would like to get it working on a rom with a working kernel but i will put it back to stock if i have to. any help is greatly appreciated. thank you for your time.
You could flash a ruu ....but the problem is you don't have your software number ...or you have to go to another Rom ...which will make the phone boot normally .but don't forget to flash its specific kernel ...if you don't so that the Rom won't boot
What he said. I recommend using the RUU to restore back to stock.
Re-reroot/unlock it, then read more on which kernel to use. You most likely are using the wrong kernel.
What rom are you using currently - ?
What Kernel did you flash - ?
What error do you get with TWRP - ?
ive only been able to get a couple roms to actually boot. the one that is on it now is Amazing Sense. there is no kernel to flash with this rom and no boot.img for it either. i believe it is included. i have decided to RUU and try everything from the beginning. however i cannot find the RUU for HTC One V in the USA on Virgin Mobile. if you could post a link to that i would be very grateful. i dont see any errors on TWRP and i believe it is the stock rom i flashed last. but like i said with the rom im on it is included, so whatever is on there. thanks again for your help guys.
just curios would the sprint ruu work on the virgin mobile one? it may sound dumb but i have seen people use the recovery.img from it. was just wondering if it would brick the device or not. because i still havent found an RUU for virgin mobile one v in the US.

Ok. That's good. You use the same ICS kernel with the same ICS roms. No need to keep reflashing. I wouldn't flash a JB rom using a ICS kernel though.
Use this zip - http://androidfiles.org/uploads/index.php?dir=PrimoC/Kernels/ics
1. Extract the Boot.img from that zip and Fastboot flash boot boot.img in Bootloader
2. Wipe everything. Factory Reset, Dalvik, and System.
3. Flash an ICS based rom, Sense, or CM9.
4. Flash this after rom to get wifi working the zip above or below to fix Wifi.

Just ran the RUU and it did work everything is back to stock. the sprint RUU worked. i ran into a snag installing the Android SDK it wouldnt recognize that i had my Java JDK. even after messing with my registry it still wouldnt work so i just downloaded the x86 jdk and it worked. its unfortunate cuz now i have a jdk in x64 and x86 and its taking up space on my ssd. oh well i hope it doesnt mess with eclipse. i am now going to unlock the bootloader again and re root it and install probably cm9. thank you for all your help i will post again after i attempt to re unlock reroot and rom. thanks again
Hi, I have the Koodo T989D and I was thinking of flashing a custom ROM but I also read that you need a radio? Can someone else in detail what it is? What is the best radio? I'm using my unlocked T989D on WIND MOBILE in Canada. Thanks!
Most of the roms available here do not have the radio included in it, meaning that the version of the radio (System Setings -> About phone -> Baseband version) will not be overwritten.
If you flash a rom and find after that the phone disconnects from wifi or does not connect with your service provider, it is safe to keep a radio zip file handy.
You can find most of the available radios for your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
There is no "good" radio. It depends on your location.
Fell free to test all of them and see which one performs better.

Alright so my phone is a Koodo T989D, would I be able to install lets say a T-Mobile T989? Also I see a lot of radio for Telus,T-Mobile etc.. which one would be the newest and better one compared to call those like the multiple ones.
i would say to use a TELUS radio because TELUS is Canadian it should get you a better reception

Ok and it would work with 4.0.4 or with any custom rom such as the 4.1.2 CM10?
radio can be flash with any rom

I have the same phone and am using it for Mobilicity. I'm using Liquid Smooth RC7 right now with UVLH1 radio. This combination works well for me. I know RC 9 is released but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. RC7 is working perfect for me so I am reluctant to flash the new version.
But just as others have said, try different radios to see which one works best for you. Everyone is different depending on where they live. Just remember to Nandroid it first before trying anything.

Ok, how do I flash it? My phone is rooted. So if I flash the TELUS one and follow the process, my phone can't be bricked right if only I did a wrong step.

Before you flash anything, remember to back up your stock rom first in case you ever need to change it back for warranty purposes or in case your messed up somewhere along the way.
Once its backed up,then you start to flash the rom of your choice. Just follow the instructions laid out by the dev. Your radio wont be affected when you flash a rom. You can flash the radios separately afterwards. I use Cwm without any issues but others use TWRP. Use what you are comfortable with. You shouldnt soft brick your phone as long as you flash the ones deigned for our phones.

Ok, so how do I backup this rom? Also if I want to still use this stock koodo rom, can you show me the step by step to install the TELUS radio? Right now I have the koodo radio but if I install the TELUS radio, it will change the radio by default to TELUS right?

1.Reboot the phone into recovery and backup current ROM.
2.Pick a radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400 and download zip file.
3. Reboot into recovery and flash zip file.\
Check to see if reception and data speeds improve. If not, try another radio until you find one that works for you.

Ok, first I don't know how to backup the current rom? I have this recovery file and the stock koodo rom. Second I saw people on youtube wipe the cache and other things. Do I need to do that as well? If so what else do I have to wipe?

So I just installed the TELUS radio and it didn't work so I wanted to revert back but whenever I shut down, the capacative touch buttons on it won't turn off which causing me to take out the battery to turn back on the phone. Why is this happening?
What do you mean it didn't work? Are you not getting any reception or data? Did you check your APN settings? You can always restore the backup if you remembered to do so before you flashed the radio. Or you can flash the Koodo radio listed in the radio link from my previous post.
Not sure why the buttons stay lit. I never had that before. Maybe a different radio doesn't work with stock rom. Try to flash a custom one. As stated before, try Liquidsmooth or CM10 Stable.
Hi All,
I was wondering if you could help me out and advise which kernal and ROM would be best to use for my R800i
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Many thanks Thanks in advance
If you bought your Play only, only for pure gaming, there's nothing better than JokaWildv3 with Doomkernel v14. Forget the other kernels and ROMs, feel the real power of that monster in your pocket with these two!

I am noob to all this and wondered if the DoomKernal is a pre-rooted kernal or do i need to root first via flashtool?
Also can i keep the firmware at 4.0.2.A.0.42 or am i required to change this too?
Thanks
Yes, it's pre-rooted so no further rooting is necessary. Here's the link for the both:
JokaWild v3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532883
Doomkernel v14:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502
And yes, I strongly recommend to change your FW to .62 or .69. I've tried with the new .79 one btw, and it worked like a charm. Newer is better I guess?
I'm here for a while, so feel free to post if you encounter any problems.
Good luck!
Thanks for your help!! :fingers-crossed:
I'm at work so wont be doing it till I get home but will post if I come across any issues but I have a couple of questions
which order do I do it in? Do I flash the firmware to .79 then the kernal and then the ROM or in a different sequence?
Also does the DoomKernal v14 contain CWM Recovery or do i need to install this after flashing the kernal?
Do I also need to install the goggle apps and the wifi module?

Yes I'm a total noob
You're welcome. And my bad, I was going to explain them but I forgot, I'm kinda sleepy, sorry .
1.First flash the FW via flashtool.
2-Copy the JokaWildv3.zip to your memory card. Any location is fine.
2.Boot your device in fastboot mode and flash Doomkernel v14. It contains CWM Recovery module, yes Doomlord handled everything.
3.Reboot your device, when the device vibrates AFTER the Doomkernel logo, press the back button. Select the CWM recovery from the menu, then select install zip from the card. Choose JokaWildv3.zip (Do NOT extract the files). The installation process takes 2 minutes. After that, reboot again and enjoy!
Thanks for all you help, I'm sure ill be in touch if i fail miserably.
Just to confirm, I don't need to root first do I? the kernal is pre-rooted?
So once I've unlocked my bootloader I can just flash the kernal, wifi modules and then install the ROM via CWM?

Right, it's already rooted. And it contains Google apps and a file manager, all you need to do is installing and enjoying.
Thanks El Diablo for all your help, all done and dusted was a lot easier than anticipated.
You are most welcome, my friend. I also recommend you to try the Krisdee's upcoming ICS ROM (not available yet), it looks promising.
I have found a couple of optimized stock ROM images on xda and on BBS Gran too, but when I flash it using the cwm method I am always stuck on lg optimus lte logo.
Every cm ROM that I flashed using cwm works fine. I am experiencing this problem with only stock ROMs. Any help ?
Have you ever unbricked the phone? For some reason the stock roms all require you to have ran through the unbrick process at some point unless that has changed recently.

I have CWM and can flash custom Roms , i dont think i need to unbrick any further... or maybe I am mistaken ?
it depends when you bought your phone and what updates you have, if you have an old gingerbread p930 that hasn't been updated you might not have to unbrick, i think ics and later and even some gingerbread phones have reported secure bootloader that won't let you boot into cwm, if you can boot into cwm you are fine, if you get a fast boot and a few other warnings when you try to boot into cwm then you have to unbrick. i think it might be harder to unbrick a phone that is getting the errors already but im not sure, it might be the same, i got the error on mine and i was able to unbrick.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Well maybe not the same boat, but I'm in one next to you. I've got CM10.1 and I absolutely hate the battery life. I'd like to go back to stock. I'm not sure though if I have to go through the unbricking process or just use CWM to flash the stock rom onto it.

if you like battery life, use the rom in my sig, i get 9-40 hours on a battery depending on how much the screen is on.
the rom is based of stock at&t ICS with bloatware removed, a few extras added and a lightningfast wind 3.1 kernel preinstalled

I installed the wind kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119976 and set the governor to smartassv2 based on someones suggestion here and it made a big difference for me. The battery life in CM10.1 went from absolutely dreadful to at least acceptable. Not as good as CM9, but I can live with it for now.

It's possible that it isn't necessary now, but I know that it used to be impossible to flash the stock ics based roms until you had gone through the unbrick process one time. The first time I remember seeing it was in this thread for ho!no!'s rom based on the leaked ics. I know for a fact that even though I had CWM installed and was using CM9 I was not able to install ho!no!'s stock rom until I went through the unbrick process.
KronicSkillz and SeriousGeorge I'll definitely be looking into this. Thanks

Basically, the most stable ones are non-AOSP/CM roms. The others run pretty well, but may have a little issue here or there. The WickedX series is probably the most active TouchWiz rom (close to stock) that will have the fewest bugs.
Hmm when I installed thebarebones wicked x rom the phone seemed to heat up excessively. Most likely from the theme. It was sitting around 114 degrees Fahrenheit. on the stock one it goes from 80 sitting at about 95 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit when im using the stock Android browser.

I prefer AICP 9.0 ( http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=d2spr ) but that's because I hate Touchwiz (stock) and I want lollipop. The latest nightlies are actually really stable, but if you want a for sure stable release I'd go with a kitkat d2lte ROM or touchwiz.
Is there a description of what's removed and changed for aicp? Or some interesting features? Looking for really barebones with most stuff removed. I got this stock one im using down to 1gb free ram so far. Seems to keep it cooler not doing so many processes all at once. Also i can down clock the cpu to below 1ghz without all the background stuff using up the excess processing power. Doesn't feel so much like a pocket warmer even while quickly going through pages.
Edit: have you had any problems with 9.0? It seems like data doesn't work for me on version 8 is there some fix to flash for 8 or should I just try 9?
If you're on the actual sprint (not virgin mobile, boost, etc) then your data should work fine on 9.0. AICP is not barebones, however. I'd think of it as cm with some good added features. However, I have like 1gb of free ram on aicp idle.

9.0 works great for me on my virgin mobile s3. The latest nightlies are very stable.
Im on sprint.. Do i need to update firmware or flash a radio for it to work? Im using 4.4.2 stock. Also just to make sure im not doing it wrong. What are steps for flashing this specific rom?

You are on ND8 if you are running that rom. Some people have reported success and some have not using that firmware. NJ2 seems to be better for running lollipop roms.
MAKE UP A NANDROID BAKCUP OF YOUR CURRENT SET UP
To update to NJ2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/41671/L710VPUDNJ2_L710SPRDNJ2_SPR/
Flash a recovery via ODIN, it is the program you used in the above step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
There is also TWRP somewhere, but even though Philz isn't being developed, I haven' t had any issues with it. But if you want to recover your previous setup, it is probably best to use the same recovery as before.
Restore your old setup.
Most roms come with instructions for installation in the post. Basically, nAndroid backup, wipe data/system, install zip of rom, and then GApps if needed. Most custom roms are already rooted about of the box.
Do you have a link to the firmware that doesnt require me to register?

No. You need to use odin for the firmware upgrade. Just make a backup of your rom before flashing. If you are using twrp now, just flash that tar through odin when you finish. Then, you can reboot to recovery and restore that backup after flashing the new firmware. And everything will be the same. The whole process will probably take you 30.minutes.
