[Q] What is the difference between all the radios?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Sure I read that somewhat. but really. what's the difference between them?
is it possible Calkulin could put release dates by those and changelogs around them?
I know the difference between radio,wimax. one's 4G the other is 3G? at least I think haha. but just really need more information. I don't like to update not knowing what I'm updating.
What's the correct why to flash them? for example, if I downloaded "EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_00 3 - Includes latest Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV", could I just goto "Rom Manager v4.3.2.4" and click "install rom from SD card"? will that work?
btw, where do these radios come from? why doesn't my phone automatically update these? do they automatically update when new OTA's come out?
PS SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. I DO THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ALL OF THEM. THANKS SUPER!

Basically just updated 3G radios; you could get better signal, and the date is at the end... 05.02 [may 2]. And you'd flash that file by backing up your rom in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash it. And they files do come from OTAs, and extracted so people can flash as they want.

so I just tried going into rom manager and install rom from sd card.... and attempted to install the EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_0 0 3, and nothing at all updated.

He can't post changelogs he doesn't have. Basically, we don't know, because they're not open source and HTC doesn't generally tell us what's changed. But we generally assume newer radios will improve something. That's generally the theory with anything newer, right? Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, which is why the older versions are still posted.

Well, I would recommend flashing it from recovery, as sometimes rom manager messes up.

CWM 3.0 does not support scripts which the radio flashes need. You need to flash amon-ra or an older CMW to flash radios.

I did flash amon-ra and it wouldn't work. is there a newer version on CWM that works? I don't like using an older version that was never built and designed when current software was released. all it does and up the scale of issues/errors.
okay, my mistake. I recall when I used CWM... it actually asked me to wipe the needed data.
on amon-ra. I have to do that manually. so I've learned. :-D yay. but omg. takes soo long to do this. haha. hope it helps me out with 4g and other stuff. haha

[Q] Rooted 2.1 to Gingerbread?

So a while back I rooted using the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
Some more info about my phones current state:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 1.36.00.04.02
Software: 1.32.651.1
PRI: 1.34_003
PRL: 60680
Running Amon-Ra v2.3 recovery.
I'm wanting to upgrade to gingerbread, and also stay stock with sense. I found the following thread with a gingerbread rooted rom and the radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
Is this as simple as placing the Odexed/De-Odexed zip in the root folder, going into recovery, and selecting "flash zip from sdcard"?
Of course I'd do a nandroid backup prior and then wipe data/cache/dalvik. (Would I need to wipe data in my case?)
I'd also like to upgrade the radios too. The rooted gingerbread thread states that must be flashed through hBoot/Fastboot, and not recovery. In this case do I just place the radio zip on the root directory, then go into fastboot->bootloader, and have the phone flash that way?
It's seems pretty simple, that's why I'm questioning it. Thanks for any help!

It is that simple. In your instance going from a stock sense ROM to another stock ROM, you won't need to wipe, sort of,
you need to flash the same type of ROM you are running (odexed or de-odexed) if you are not going to wipe.
After you flash your new ROM, place the update PC36IMG on the SD card and then load into recovery, it will see the file and ask if you want to update. That's it, just take the PC36IMG off the SD card (or rename it) after it installs.

Thanks for the reply! I'm guessing the rom I loaded was odexed (it doesnt state in that thread). So I could load the de-odexed version, I'd just have to wipe data/cache/dalvik.

So I was able to flash the rooted gingerbread rom. I was going to then flash the radio, but can no longer enter the bootloader by holding volume down + power. Any ideas? Am I in fastboot mode?

Seems like it; boot into the os, go to setting > applications > development, then uncheck fastboot.

Haha, I just read that here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722075] after posting that. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!!
EDIT: That did the trick! Now to flash the radio!

Awesome, all updated! I ended up having to wipe data/cache/dalvik (was in a 4G screen reboot). Oh well, I don't mind starting with a fresh install. Time to crack open a beer and enjoy the "new" phone!

Ha ha, remember, no drunk flashing.

[Q] Need help with CM7

So im planning to go back to 2.1 or 2.2 and sense, so how im going to do this? ( I have #203 Nightly)
After that, will i need to root again, and is it possible to overclock stock wildfire ROM and how? (Install new kernel??)
If youre asking why go back to sense, I just happen to need stableness for next 4 weeks and want to see how much I can tweak Sense. Going back to cm7 in november probably
Mipe

Just install like a new ROM. One such stock rooted Froyo can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The only different thing is that this will have to be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. (I guess you must know how to flash Radio's in CM7, so its not a big issue)
And yes, to OC, you will have to install a custom kernel like this one:

I also found that i have cwm backup from original rom that I can restore. Does this also restore previous radio or kernel or do I have to do it manually?

it will not touch the radio, but it will restore the stock kernel. (Or whichever kernel you had installed when you took that backup)

I got a problem. I want to get original Sense by restoring backup from CWM. Mine works, but has a pattern that i dont remember and a email wich i dont remember either. Does anyone happen to have a backup of a wildfire without password or could someone advice something else? I tried RUU but my win7 x64 is causing trouble, or the drivers.

Just flash the stock froyo ROM I listed in the first post I made in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977). If you don't know how to get Clockworkmod 2.5.0.x, then:
- Download this attachment, place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash the zip (update1.zip) using your existing Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
- Device will reboot and will start Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
- Perform Data Wipe and Choose Install Zip from SDCard, select the ROM Zip file, and let it install.

For the rooted ROM it says No Hboot | No Radio, what does that mean?

Just what is says. It does not include the Bootloader (HBoot), and it does not include the baseband (Radio). So, for these two components, what you are having on your device at this moment will remain. (ie - They will not be updated when you flash the ROM)

Currently running on AOKP OTA ver. 3.2
I would like to have someone who can guide me slowly step by step carefuly to whatever better option there is.
I been having lots of troubleshooting with phone not responding how it should and I have to keep rebooting to often.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you

Since you're running a custom rom, you could update your recovery to the latest CWM or TWRP and flash a different or updated rom.

Could you help me to do that?
Just guide me step by step.
Ok I already did a backup.

What custom recovery are you running? The first thing would be to get the latest img for your custom recovery and install it.
How did you root and install a custom recovery on your phone?

I am running AOKP OTA Ver. 3.2
That time I did it following a step by step guide with someone who was guiding me.
Hmm what else would you like to know?

That's the OS. What program did you use to backup your rom?

Oh…sure sure.
One I use is Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0

You should update to the latest TWRP from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
You can flash it using Odin. Make a full backup using the new TWRP. Find a rom you want to try, save it to the phone, and flash it using the ypdated TWRP. Don't forget to wipe the phone before changing ROMs.

Ok So I delete the older TWRP get the new one.
Then back and wipe which of all the options?
And of course if I was using AOKP which I really liked, what will your recommend me?

Installing the latest version of TWRP will overwrite the version on your phone.
Install the newest version of TWRP, create a backup of your rom using the new version of TWRP, find a rom you like, copy the ROM to your phone, boot into TWRP, wipe cache, dalvik, data, flash the ROM, reboot.

You can download it directly to your computer and use Windows Explorer to copy it to a microSD card or directly to your phone. It's probably quicker to download a few to your computer and transfer them all at once so you can try different ones.
Have fun flashing ROMs.

Ok as I extract the rom to my external sd card of my phone it's asking me many permissions such as:
"Do you want to copy Cesium.ogg to your device?
Your device might not be able play or view this file."
I said yes to skip all of the next warnings because every time i hit yes comes another warning.
Also strangely the rom took forever to download and the extraction is also taking way to long.
I didn't had to go through so much stuff by that time I downloaded AOKP rom. :/
Still extracting as I update this post... Something is not right...

I will have to cancel this.
It's stuck.

Do not extract the files. Just flash the zip.

Ah, to late I'm currently trying to find the right download link for Slim Bean rom.
Mind if you help me here?
My device is an I747.
UPDATE:
I believe is this one?
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...o/6801-slim-d2att-4-3-build-2-2-official-1738
UPDATE!!
Yup it's done.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Quick question.
How do I restore all my phone data such as my contacts numbers and messages from the back up I did with the other rom?
Do I just restore the last backup and it should recognize the new rom?
UPDATE!
So it went back to where it was of course.
How should I back it all up and restore in the new rom?

Looks right. I have an i747m, not the i747.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11 on SGH-T989D HELP!

Hey guys, I really need your help! I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 11 on my S2X. Problem is, my S2X runs Android 4.0.3 and does not have the radio needed to install Cyanogenmod 11. I am not able to update my device to Android 4.1.3, so I was able to find a zip file of the Jelly Bean radio that is able to meet Cyanogenmod's standards. Can I put a 4.1.3 radio on my phone running 4.0.3? Would it work? If not, can you explain any other methods to get around this?

What recovery are you using?? Chances are its outdated. Unless you just updated it?
Once you update that....take a nandroid backup, so you can restore it if things don't work out.....then wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and data....NOT internal SD....then flash the radio, then the ROM. Then gapps.
My advice tho....make sure you have everything downloaded to your phone, of course....and download a couple ROMs. If cm doesn't install, or won't boot....try another one....doing the same procedure.
If none of that works.... Restore your nandroid you just did.
Worst case tho....be prepared to Odin stock back on your device.
Have to be prepared for anything with this stuff.

Thank you for your advice! I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.3. If this version is outdated do you think this is the main source of my problem? When I tried to install CM it told me it couldn't because my radio wasn't new enough, so I thought that was the main source of my problem. I realized that it needs the Jelly Bean radio (TLMC4) whereas I have the Ice Cream Sandwich radio (TLLE4). If I installed the Jelly Bean radio on my Ice Cream Sandwich device, do you think that would work also?

I would just flash radio, then ROM. After backing up in recovery.
No need to ever boot into ICS with the new radio.
Personally....its more work, but I'd Odin 4.1.2 on your phone first. Then you will be up to date. Then flash recovery again....whatever is recommended in cm thread, and root. Then flash cm. Again...after a backup. Always nandroid backup first.
