Simpleroot ota

ok i just used the simple root method to root my phone. now my 3.5 jack doesnt work cant use a head set. Also i notice it downgraded everything. I wanna use flips roms but it says i need the newest radio and build. Is there anyway to get that without flash the stock rooted rom. Or do i just flash it then flash flips. Someone please help me im really confused right now

not sure if it helps, but after you root you should wipe then flash a new rom (like fresh if thats what you want). Then after you flash the rom you can flash the newest radio (unless the dev said to flash radio first)

go get the 1.47 build, flash that on there, then root it. it'll update your radio and 4g, then root and flash flipz.

ok confused cause i had the 1.47 build then used simpleroot for it but it downgraded my software but gave me full root. where can i get the 1.47 build at

all i want to do is to be able to use flips roms.

Rooted before OTA, what is the best way to convert to the new radio?

I rooted when I first got my evo, (before the latest update) what is the best way to get the features of the update without having to reroot?

My personal vote is for whitslack's method:

This will also update your Wimax and Radio

if you are already rooted, why don't you just download a custom rom that already has it incorporated? most of them do. Then just visit the wiki and download the radio and wimax and you will be all set!
Or you could download the 1.47 stock rooted if you don't want to run a custom rom.

When I do a NAND Backup, does it backup the radio???

Just wondering in case I have problems with the radio I flash... if I can go back to where I am today (including the radio)...
Thanks!

No it does not.

So what if I want to go back to my stock 1.36 radio (or would there be no reason for me to do this since 2.05 is that much better)?
Also, will the 2.05 radio work with any ROM (including my stock sprint rooted 1.32.651.6 firmware)?

Read. This has been discussed 100 times.
The new radio will only work with the newest stock OTA or a ROM that is based off the newest OTA which is clearly spelled out in the first post of any new ROM thread.

Ok... thx... I hate to follow up with more noob questions, but does that mean I need to flash a latest OTA rom before I can go to CM6 because I need to flash the lastest radio BEFORE installing cm6?

No, you can flash radios and kernels separately from ROMs. Just flash CM6, then flash a radio, and you should be good.

Follow the instructions on the thread for the ROM you want to install.
And since I can see this coming a mile away, if you flash CM6, you will lose 4G and HDMI. No there is no way around it. So don't do it then wonder why it doesn't work.

Thanks for the help... I was aware that Wimax and HDMI aren't working yet on CM6 RC1 .. but don't need either...

Flashing Radio Necessary?

Hey, I was looking up many information regarding rooting. And I was able to root my device and flash a Rom. However, I did not flash a radio and everything seems to be working via internet,wifi, and phone calls. So is it still necessary, and what does it do exactly. I know this might be a noob answer.

What rom were you on, and what one did you flash?
Basically Froyo roms need the more recent radios.

I was using the latest official OTA 2.2 froyo before rooting. Then I used Clockword recovery, and flashed the LeeDroid Rom without its radio. Everything seems fine so far.

It is recommended that you do but not absolutely required. Some people use old Radio ROMS and it works perfectly. Try out a new Radio and see it is after a few days, worst case scenario, you flash the old one back.

froyo wont work proply without the newer radios, as the op already flashed the ota, he would of got a newer radio with it, therefore he dosent need to flash another one

oh i understand. thanks for the answers.

Flashing Custom ROM and Radio Update

Hi.
I would like to flash a Custom ROM, this will be my first ROM Flash so I've got some noob questions.
My Inc2 is currently ROOTED (by Revolutionary), S-OFF, with SU on Android 2.3.3 , all else is completely stock.
I want to flash the andyBONESTOCK 5.10.605.9 ROM. (I've already go this file and the associated SU file). This ROM is based on the latest from Verizon/HTC and is all Stock except is rooted/s-off.
Will this ROM Flash also update my Radio Baseband to the latest 1.09.01.1111 ?This Base Band is in the latest Verizon/HTC update
I believe it will not. And that I will have to seperately flash the radio.
To update the radio I believe all I have to do is rename the Radio file to PGIMG32.IMG, put it in SD Card root directory, reboot phone in HBOOT, and install the file.
Is this correct?
Thanks,

Yes. That is correct. I would also suggest doing a nandroid backup before flashing the ROM just in case you run into problems and need to get back to where you are now. The only thing that won't backup is your radio.

and if for some reason you should not like the newer radio, you can just download the one you are currently on and rename it and Flash it the same way you did the update. just remember to remove the previous update from the root of yours sd card.
