You can flash the radios at any time I used the ones from calk's link sorry I don't have the link off hand just search it. You flash them from recovery.
I'm using mikg v1.03 with no problems and it comes with the gb kernel. Just make sure you wipe everything like it says on his thread.
Here is a link to mikg.

Thank you soo much, So Do i flash the Rom First Then the Radio? or The Radio First then the Rom? or it just Doesnt Really matter? That Rom comes with the New Gingerbread kernel and hotspot?

You can flash the radio and rom in any order. My personal preference is to do the rom first and then the radio, but I have no reason to believe that doing it the other way around would be detrimental in any way.
MikG does come with the latest kernel and I'm pretty sure the hotspot is unlocked too, but honestly I prefer to use Wifi Tether For Root Users since it allows tethering with WiMax whereas the hotspot app forces EVDO. If you're not in a 4G area though it's a moot point

It doesn't matter what one you flash first and I'm not sure about the hotspot I use wifi tether free on the market and you can use 4g with that one.

just installed OMFBG and no internet connection?

I just installed a new Rom, OMFGB, version 2.3.2, baseband version 2.15.00.11.19, kernel verions, 2.6.35.10-cyanogenmod, rom version 1.1.1 and now i have no data connection, i can make calls but cannot connect to the market, internet or anything like that, can someone point me in the right direction as to what to get this working possibly? This is on a HTC Evo.
Thanks
Rockey
Can you link to this ROM?
Perhaps I am not keeping up-to-date on my acronyms, but I don't recognize that one.
Also helps to post in the same thread as the ROM you installed.
I may not have the answer, but that might help others who do.

What the hell is that? Where did you get it from? I have never heard of that rom.
its actually off of Rom manager, where it says to download rom and it was one of the choices and it was Gingerbread and i wanted to try it. Unfortunately that is all i tell you about it right now since i'm not able to get on the net.
Never downloaded it, but under wifi settings, and mobile data, is yours turned off?
That rom is for the droid incredible. Don't know why its on the evo download list. Maybe that's why it doesn't work.

I just confirmed, and he's correct, you should have read it more carefully.
You'll need to restore a previous backup or flash a rom meant for the EVO.

[Q] How to install a ROM?

I think this will be my last real "noob" question. I've done some searching, but no real clear answer.
Just how exactly do I install a ROM? I'm thinking of trying both Virtuous and Cyanogen, just want to test them first. And do I still need to use / have the goldcard I initially made to downgrade the firmware, or can I turn that into a "regular" SD card again?
PS - With Virtuous, will using something like LauncherPro slow it down? Or will it not matter?
Thanks again in advance.
EDIT: I also kinda need to update the radio, I have no mobile data on the stock 1.34 radio...lol.
I bet you could of figured this out by googling "how to flash rom on g2/dz" faster than typing this question lol. Get rom manager, flash recovery with rom manager, download rom you want from rom manager, click okay...pretty easy stuff.

However sometimes this does not work. A manual install of whatever comes down to downloading and dropping the .zip file of the ROM and whatever Google App pack into your root SD mount. Boot into recovery by Pwr+Vol Down, do a full wipe of both cache and the phone. Then Install Zip from SD card, flash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot.
Yes your back key will function in root.
Edit: When mounting your sd card onto the computer make sure USB debugging is on.
Thanks guys, I did end up figuring it out, now I'm just trying to flash my radio...there's 1 thread with goo dinstructions, but they're still not clear... eugh.
I feel more and more noob with this haha.
Well do a lot of reading before you go and install just any radio.... Make sure they are compatible. I don't want to see your next noob question be "I bricked my phone please help"
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
you will learn by your mistake.
That's how i learn it.
No, I made sure to read everything I could. I just couldn't find any noob friendly radio instructions. I installed Virtuous, just trying to update to the recommended radio. lol
Rmk40 actually just released a program all about radios. Go check it out.

SERIOUSLY, careful. No offense, but if you're not sure on the details of how to flash a ROM, chances are you don't have the knowledge to safely flash your radio.
I feel competent flashing roms, pushing files with adb, and radios still freak me out. If you mess up, there's not turning back =/

I have a ROM flashed now. Just haven't found any real concise instructions on how to flash a radio.
The problem I find with most of these guides is that they say "If you don't know this blah blah google it", rather than explaining the method and how to do it / why it is important.

I think you should get clockwork mod premium and check out the options on there, it will basically download the rom for you and complete all the necessary steps to have a working install. I've been flashing roms since the G1 in 2008 and I still have some small issues here and there when doing it manually but if you want a safe bet, go with the clockwork mod app :]

I used it already to isntall roms, but can you flash radios with it?
Radio flashed...still can't use browser though...bleh.
why flash your radio though? I'm using CM7 RC4 with Pershoot kernel en stock radio... reaching up to 30 hours of uptime (with average usage) and good connectivity.

[Q] Updating Radios RA Recovery

Im currently running AVA-Froyo Z3, thinking about flashing a Synergy Nightly but in the meantime im sticking with this one. Lately I have noticed slow browser speeds and bad reception in general and though I might try flashing the new radios that release on the 3rd with the gingerbread update. I flash roms all the time but I have never flashed a radio update. Do i do this the same way as a rom? Boot into recovery (btw im using RA-Recovery V2.3) and wipe dalvik Cache and then flash zip from sd? Is there a risk doing this? Im know radio update questions have been posted before but I dont know if the radio update is risky on a rom specific level. ANy help would be appreciated
yeah just like that just make sure your battery is charged and also dont get desperate and let it do its think before you start pressing things or try a battery pull, first boot will take longer
It depends where you got the files. Some have to be flashed via hboot/bootloader.
But if you got then from the calvn thread (misspelled im sure) then you flash them like you do a rom, but you dont have to wipe anyting. I didnt and things are fine.

Very important to make sure you have enough battery charge and do not pull your battery while doing this process. Don't let it fall out your hand while doing it either, lol. Sure way to get a bricked evo while flashing radio updates and the battery pops out or dies.
yeah, and just in case you missed it, DO NOT PULL YOUR BATTERY!!!
I need to flash mine, too....
This flashing radios **** always makes me nervous.
Pulling battery while updating radios WILL brick your phone...so like a few others have said DON'T PULL YOUR BATTERY

[Ci$c0geE][EC09][DEODEXED][ROM][CWM]

EDIT:
1.EC09 Deodexed System Rom only, must flash over stock EC09. No Radio or Kernel included. Only scripts to Root and install busybox.
[EC09_Stock deodexed root+busybox.
exported from nandroid. full deodex and rooted in kitchen.
full system intact [bloat etc.]
Must have EC09 running.
reboot cwm recovery
wipe cache and dalvik
flash EC09_STOCK_DEODEXED.zip
reboot...
Now you can pull files to edit and theme. Using the tools found in theme section.
I did release initial ics theme for ec09 in my themes thread.

finally a post at last lol. when u get the kernal and radio going ill be testing it out for sure and ive always wondered is there a change log somewhere that shows the changes from eco7 to eco9
Confirmed to root stock kernel by one member. Anyone else? If u want to debloat yourself by opening zip with 7zip and delete apks you don't want.
There will be more roms up soon. Not only by me. Stop in irc to see what's new.

Hi,
I have some n00b questions that I would really appreciate some help on...
1. What is the significance of "No radio or kernel included."?
2. Why do I need these to move from EC09 Odexed >> EC09 Deodexed?
3. Where are these files? Can someone link me to them?
4. When I get them, how do I flash them in conjunction with the EC09_STOCK_DEODEXED.zip?
Thank you for taking the time !

What ROM are you currently running? If you're already on EC09, your task is simple; go in to CWM and flash the deodexed ROM.
No radio or kernel means you need to already be on EC09 before flashing this EC09 deodexed ROM.
The easiest way (in my opinion) to get the radio and kernel you need for EC09 would be to back up any data you'd like to keep (apps, texts, contacts, etc), revert back to stock DL17, do the OTA to get up to EC09, and then flash the deodexed EC09 linked in the OP through CWM.

Is it possible to only have Root+CWM w/ Hotspot? [EL29]

Hey guys, I'd like to apologize in advance if there is already a post or thread already out there for this, I swear I looked everywhere. Anyways, I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I know enough to flash custom roms, create nandroids, and how to get back to stock. My questions is, I want to run GB until ICS officially comes out, but is there anyway that I can only root+cwm my EL29 ROM and only have sprint hotspot hack? My objective is to keep the phone as stock as possible with the exception of root+cwm so I can nandroid, use Titanium Backup PRO, and connect my wireless devices to an actual hotspot, instead of using the wifi tether app. I'm currently running an EL29 custom rom that has all of the above, but sometimes I'd like to just have the "stock" TW feel without the theme and tweaks.
PS - The closest thing that I know of is the ACS AIO mods, but unfortunately I'm not able to even flash the mod for some reason...
ah... best i can say is odin stocked rooted el29 everything is the same as stock and if u wann unroot odin does that also and the hotspot hack there is a page on how u can install it w that stock set up.
