Newest fresh radios/kernals and setting up Amon Ra Flash

Hello all,
I followed the guide to root my phone that was titled "Idiot proof root quide" that can be found on the androidforums. I then installed fresh 0.3 and I've been running that for a while and had no desire to flash the new fresh roms. Well, now that fresh has released a ROM with froyo at its base I've decided to make the jump.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest rom from fresh (3.1.0.1) but I was unaware that there were new radio updates and kernals to install. This is where I'm running into trouble. For some reason when I have 3.1.0.1 installed my phone wont stay connected to the computer. Once I plug the USB cord in it will ask me if I wan't to charge, disk drive, etc but then 2 seconds later it will disconnect. I've gone back to fresh 0.3 and it works fine.
SO, my questions are:
1. How do I install the latest radio for fresh (please help me with links, I've looked but have become easily frustrated)
2. How do I install the latest kernal with Amon Ra flash (it is my understanding that you need this to install the newest radio/kernal). I understand I need fastbook and the android SDK but I don't think I'm setting these two applications up correctly when I download them.
If you can direct me to any threads that will assist me I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

another way you can try is putting the radios on before you flash the rom to fresh3. I would flash using AMon Ra just because there have been reports of clockwork not fully clearing cache/dalvik. The best way to do this in my opinion is if you have rom manager installed at the bottom you will find flash alternate recovery, use that then try clearing wiping everything and reflashing. If you put the radios on your sd card first jsut boot into froyo once then power down flash radio boot, power down flash wimax. boot.
then try and see if you usb is still having problems. If it is let us know.

Download the radios and kernels you want with your phone, then reboot into recovery. All of them flash like ROMs, just select the zip you want and flash it. Just don't wipe first.
I think the order would be kernel first, then radio, then WiMax if necessary. Always reboot at least between radio and WiMax, maybe after kernel as well.

New Radio: http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/baseband-215000728/
New Wimax Radio: http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/wimax-26023r01/
No need a custom Kernel for now, the ROM has its own, if you want a Kernel anyways you can flash Netarchy's Revision 3.7.6c - Froyoized but it has a side effects with the camera pixels!

3 out of 5? lol

Wow, thank you for the quick responses guys/gals! So it seems that I was making this more difficult than it needs to be.
Summary of what I need to do:
1. Flash new kernel if I choose to but each ROM comes with a custom kernel.
2. Flash new radio update.
3. Flash Wimax update.
4. Flash fresh 3.1.0.1
Now, I hope this also solves my USB issue that I'm having which only occurs when I have 3.1.0.1 flashed. I'm going to take omegasun18's advice and see if that will correct my issue.

well i would do it ......
Fresh rom + radio, the reboot, wimax, then reboot again, then kernel, that's waht i did and have everything working no 30fps cap, wi fi tether and all the stuff (remember about the camera issue)
*edit* remember something, you have to left the custom kernel to the end, because as i told you before the rom has its own kernel and will overwrite any other you installed previously

So leave the kernel to the end? Does that kernel you recommended remove the 30fps cap?

yep make sure if you do a kernal you do it AFTER the rom. the radios shouldnt matteer since msot roms dont acctually change the radios when flashed. but i normaly start with the rom and work my way up but otherwise you have it.

First impression: no hiccups, everything running smooth here!

I don't know why but I can't flash this radio...i tried through android flasher and with recovery using .zip file! When I go to software information it says "baseband version": 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 which is my old one. Is there any solution?

As soon as a radio comes from HTC Desire rom, you can flash it for your Desire independtly from the rom you are running
RIL is recomended and available here
1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Full nandroid back up
3. Select flash from SD card - select radio
4. Should get a notification to reboot to apply the radio flash
5. Once rebooted it will automatically take you back into recovery mode
6. Mount "/system"
7. Select flash from SD card - select RIL
8. Reboot once that has flashed and cross your fingers !!!
9. You could check HTC RIL version and compare with informations below with my little app (see attachment) or with ConnectBot:
Code:
su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
*** Please report any problem! ***
Note:
-Some radio update don't need to change the RIL!
-If you encounter some trouble, you could revert to your original RIL easily: just flash again your ROM or do a nandroid restore!
-RIL FILES ARE STORED IN ROM PART SO IF YOU WIPE & INSTALL ANOTHER ROM, PLEASE NOTE THAT NOTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE!
Hope it helps you

Thanks Yorzua. One more thing: is it really safe to flash radio zips and RIL zips from recovery? (Mine is Amon_Ra 2.0.1)
I've been reading about flashing radios, and it seems everyone's recommending that I do it via ADB (which I'm not familiar with) or some utility like Fastboot Commander or Android Flasher. What's your take on these?
EDIT: Flashed the new radio via Amon_RA_2.0.1. So far, no problems. Calls came through, GPS and internet not at all affected. Thanks to all who helped!

Flashed it today! Works great! No problems at all!

Borat, i recomend you to flash radios and ril zip from recovery
no worries if it is with amon ra or clockworkmod

Flashed on CM7 PVT4 via fastboot - seems to work a treat thus far. Didn't change the RIL.

This radio rom seems to work just fine

u can do it from recovery its safe

[Q] Can't flash any gingerbread ROM

Hi
I'm trying to flash a gingerbread rom to my desire but I always end up being stuck on the HTC logo. I tried several ROMS( opendesire, modaco with sense and without, some more too but can't remember the names,... ) The only gingerbread ROM that installs is CM7, but i have market problems that annoy the hell out of me ( can't find certain apps, need to hack to install bigger apps ). A shame because i really like CM, but i want to compare with others
Any idea why gingerbread won't flash correctly. I have tried several froyo ROMS without any issues before, by the way
I have
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
RADIO-5.14.05.17
thx

Did you remember to wipe your data between each different install?
That's the most common problem when you get stuck at boot.

i use rom-manager and always create a back-up and wipe.
I also tried with an empty SD-Card and repartioned it ( with rom-manager ). The results are always the same, every gingerbread rom gets stuck. I thought there was something wrong with the partitions or maybe i need s-off for gingerbread... ?

What version of CWM do you have? Did you update manually to the new radio for the GB Roms?
- Recommended RADIO
http://insertcoin.dataninja.net/Addons/Radio/
If you flash the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23. Radio a good idea will be to flash

I'm using Rom Manager v4.2.0.2
It is possible that i flashed that radio with a previous modaco sense/froyo ROM.
should i first flash that one you mention and then try again?

Okay, Rom Manager Is not a recovery What's your recovery exactly?
And what ROMs do you try to flash?
AFAIK, you need to flash that first in order to get booted.

sorry clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 is current recovery
I really tried several ROMS
Modaco sense gingerbread
Modaco without sense
opendesire
oxygen
etc...
all and always stuck on HTC Logo except for CM7, that one works fine except for the market issues

- Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x.x.x (Recommended to be used! 2.x recoveries MAY have some problems with the updater-script => boot loop)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I found this in one of the ROM threads.
So my suggestion:
First try to update the radio to the newest (alredy posted the link).
If that does not help, then try to update your recovery.

updating radio and flashing updates did not help
i'm still stuck when trying to install oxygen
I could use some help in updating my recovery. I f i do this with rom manager 2.5.0.7 is the most recent.
I seems there's a 2.5.1.2 out and 3.x.x.x is not advised. Is there an update zip somewhere to use?

People report that Insertcoin S v22 can be installed with 2.5.0.7
Make sure you do a full wipe in THE RECOVERY, not ROM Manager or any program.
Too boot into recovery hold down Power+Vol Down while phone is off.
There:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cahce
3. Under advanced menu > Wipe dalvik-cache
Also make sure your SD card is partitioned right.
And for the update - you can only update your recovery if you are S-OFF or you use Unrevoked3 with a custom recovery image.

Grab a copy of Ubuntu and check that the apps2sd partition on your card is formatted correctly. I tried all ways of formatting and partitioning (via clockwork/rom manager) and it never formatted correctly and always caused HTC boot sticking.
If I completely reformatted SD and reflashed an older rom (like Leedroid 2.3) would then boot fine. I then used Rom Manager to repartition & format SD, boot ubuntu (live CD is enough - no install required) then reformatted partition to EXT4, flashed and worked fine.
Also, is 2.5.0.7 your TRUE recovery version? Turn your phone on with vol-down held then select recovery - does the version change to an older one? If this is the case you may need to re-root is (Unrevoked) to update your recovery version permanantly.
Hope that helps.

If you are S-off you can flash newest recovery using fastboot, this flash would be permanent!
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img

i agree with TMSsecret,
the gingerbread ROMs i have used seem to need a more recent version of HBOOT. First time I tried to flash LeeDroid 3.0.2, it didnt work. Applied S-OFF (which updates your HBOOT during the process) and tried again, worked no worries. Also, if you're keen to install the latest ROMs, upgrade to clockworkmod recovery 3.x... It took me a few tries to get FASTBOOT working properly (possibly because my version of windows XP has had too long to decompose), but if you persevere, it will work.
The best way to make sure your ROM will work is a thorough research session. Not slagging you at all, just pointing out the obvious. Look up everything to do with your intended ROM and read the threads.

[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:

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:

- 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.

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)

[Q] Latest radio on Wildfire but GPS still do not work :(

Hello.
Well, i have read NOW WORKING - Alpharevx + Clockwork + CM7 + Radio/GPS Fix.
Did that - nothing happen.
I have:
HTC Wildfire
Android Verison: 2.3.7
Mod version: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1-buzz
Radio Version: 3.35.20.10
I have tried all - but GPS icon doesn't appear, try GPS Essenstials (all the time just: no fix, network location disabled).
Nothing happens in Google maps or iGO.
Help needed!!!
Thanks in advance for all the help!

Take a nandroid backup of your cm7, then flash a sense rom which has gps working download google maps turn on gps and let it get a fix. Don't touch any settings after this..
Leave it for a few minutes and then restore your nandroid backup.
I haven't personally tested this way myself so don't know if it'll work but have read of others doing it this way with success.

Confirmed. It worked for me + this is the safest way to fix it, no messing with the radios, terminal emulator etc.

Any. It can be your stock ROM nandroid backup also. (Assuming you had taken one). If not, the Stock Sense ROM is a good idea:

Sorry for late response.
Well i have try to load:
multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
but all i get is Installation aborted. I did signature toogle etc but everytime unable to install. It has just wiped out my contacts and sms messages.
Any other ideas? =)

Are you sure you are using Clockworkmod 2.x to flash that? Also try a redownload. If it didn't flash, it can't erase anything on your phone (Unless you did a Wipe data / Factory Reset, THAT will erase contacts / messages. Not a failed ROM flash)

Well i have Rom Manager v4.5.0.1 (Flash clockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0)
Well i can find in All clockworkmod Recoveries versions like:
* 3.0.0.6
* 2.5.1.4
* 2.5.1.3
etc
* 5.0.0.8
* 5.0.1.0
Thats all =)
Guide me please =)

Anything starting with 2.x will work. Here's another way:
- Download this attachment (update1.zip) and place on your SDCard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Then reboot in Clockworkmod Recovery (5.0.2.0) or any version you are having at the moment
- Choose Install Zip from SDCard, then, Choose Zip from SDCard, then select the update1.zip file, it will flash it (Just like a ROM flash)
- It will reboot your phone and will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text)
- Here, now select 'Wipe Data / Factory Reset', and again select 'Install Zip from SDCard' > 'Choose Zip', and select the Froyo ROM Zip file. It should install now.
BTW, Try reflashing the radio before doing this. I doubt you reflashed the Radio if you are not aware of this. Radio's also need Clockworkmod 2.x. If reflashing the radio doesn't work, then you can follow what I wrote above.

Well i have downloaded from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads last version .31 and install it so i think a have latest one.
But ok - i will try later also your way and we will see.
What will it happen if i will try to downgrade radio to 3.35.19.25? Will be the same or it will damage something?

No, there shouldn't be any issues downgrading a radio.

@3xeno - ok, now i have Froyo ROM running. OK, GPS works. =)
Now, how can i go back to CyanogenMod? Or can't go back? Because I do like CyanogenMod but i hate that GPS doesn't work.
Thanks for all your help.

Keep GPS running after it gets a fix, and upgrade to Cyanogenmod again, as you had done previously (Don't turn off GPS/change any settings). This time, GPS should work on Cyanogenmod. Refer the 2nd post in this thread.

hm... strange.. - had the same issue after reinstalling CM. reflashing new radio (actually the same 3.35.20.10 from the CM official page like is in installation package) helped and everything works now. So, I repeat, - install CM7, and after that download latest radio from the CM webpage and flash it like 3xeno wrote in the beginning. Restart and whuollah..) -works in my case... No need to install Froyo, stock HTC and blablabla

Uff, finally!!!
Thanks @3xeno and for all the help! I have started in Froyo iGO, load backup in ROM Manager and now GPS signal is working!
Thanks for all the help again!
And thanks @doofos for reply.
Wuiiii =)

- take my congratulations. And, may be it'll help somebody else, (it is not a new thing - like read the FAQ, but anyway) - don't forget to perform those things before flashing new CM :
- wipe data/factory
- wipe cache partition
- mounts and storage -> format system -especially(realized it on my experience, -in that case GPS started work from-the-box

I have the same problem which is being discussed above..
Can I reflash the radio using CWM 5.x.x.??
My radio is 3.35.15.31
It was the default radio which came when put CM7 in my wildfire..
Or do u recommend upgrading the radio to 3.35.20.10
Pls help..

You can't flash radios on anything that's 3.0+
You can use the .zip I attached in the attachment to gain a "temporary" 2.5 recovery, that goes away once you reboot.

N what about updating my radio..??
what do u suggest..?? Should i update from 3.35.15.31 to 3.35.20.10..??
N also do i need to do a complete wipe before flashing a new radio..??
Can u guide me to a link which completely describes "how to flash a new radio"..??
Thnxx in advance..!!
