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 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.

From there I decided that Universal Auto Root was the best choice for me. Is this correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
I am currently downloading the RUU and AutoRoot v2.0 as suggested by the instructions on the thread above. The part that is tripping me up is what to do about a ROM. From what I can tell the AutoRoot puts on the Sprint Lovers ROM. I have a fair amount of experience with ADW and LP so I'm not set on using the Sense UI. However if I do use Sense I think I would like to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026 It seems to be Sense minus the bull****. I don't know how to use AutoRoot with a different ROM. If anyone could help me there that would be amazing!
Also, if anyone recommends rooting a different way or using a different ROM please let me know or if someone can link me to go instructions about flashing ROMs etc.
Thank you and I apologize for asking something that has probably already been asked. I am just trying to get the most updated responses to ensure this goes well.

Ok well I never moved the unrevoked-forever.zip to my SD Card. Was I supposed to? Unrevoked3 flash tool or whatever ran and now my phone reads S-Off which is the goal. Now what do I do? Should I do the backups suggested here (RSA keys and nandroid)? Should I try to flash a ROM? Any suggested ROMs? How do I go about flashing a ROM? Move it to SD Card and go into recovery but then what?

Don't put unrevoke on your sd card. You have to do it on your PC. PLEASE MAKE A NANDROID!!! I CAN STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!! As far as Rom's try Myn's, is the best Rom right now.

If you have S-OFF you are rooted, now you just need to decide if you want to use a custom ROM or keep the stock one.

i'm not sure you absolutely get rooting. once you are rooted, you can SWITCH roms easily and safely. but, in order to do this, you need to install a custom recovery and a rooted rom. in the earlier days, devs would compile rooted roms from scratch, but sprint lovers is just a rooted rom with minor improvements. just root and then change roms.

Alright I rooted it successfully, flashed a ROM successfully, and then tried it out. Now I would like to try another one. I put the new ROM on the SDCard and now I am wondering what I have to wipe in clockwork recovery. I went into recovery and I have wiped cache partition, wiped data/factory reset, and wiped dalvik cache. Now do I just go ahead and "install zip from sdcard"?

Yes, going from ROM to ROM wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik and flash as normal. Should be good.
Always make backups. I advise you to change your Recovery to Amon Ra's. This will allow you to make backups of your "RSA Keys." This is important for 4G / WiMax.
Once you've changed recoveries, should you even choose to (don't HAVE to), make a backup with that one. Backups from Clockwork will not work with Amon's recovery, from what I've heard. Maybe there is a way from last I heard, but not sure. So when that's done, you can put those clockwork backups on your computer or delete them. Only after making sure you're sitting fine.
Either way, establish backups (I have a stock rooted backup, confirmed working CURRENT ROM as well as taking one before doing something drastic. JIC ) and then start flashing. Try to enjoy yourself.
edit: toss those backups somewhere safe IE computer / ext hdd etc

Hey guy also a bit of a noob here when it comes to the Evo, I rooted my incredible and it worked fine but I am worried a bit more about this phone cause its a work phone. First I was wondering does 4g work with any of the custom roms? I see that Cryogen just came out with an asop rom that seems to work with 4g but I am wondering do the sense based roms work with 4g? Also I see something about wimax keys what are they and what happens if I lose them.

4g works with all ota-based roms (minus the serious exeptions of course). rsa keys are the acutal keys that say "this phone is authorized to use the sprint 4g network". they are matched with hardware, so if you lose them, you cant ever get them back. even sprint cant. the easiest way to prevent this is to not use clockworkmod (i think its safe now) and to back up your keys. niether of these are very hard.

Ok thanks so I just use unrevoked to root the phone and then do a first time nandroid backup and I should be good to go? Then I can do S-off if I want?
Also how hard right now is it to put the phone back to stock if something strange should happen? Want to make sure I get to use my 7 buck a month insurance if I have something go wrong with the phone.

[Q] Baseband version questions.

Hi..
I'm very noobie with all the rooting & roms & whatnot, but I've been reading everything I can to try and get up to speed.
One question I can't find the answer to is about the Baseband version.
my evo 4g is at 1.39 for the baseband.
I know there are newer versions out there.
I haven't installed a ROM yet, I'm still on Android 2.1
Would it be ok to update the Baseband version to the latest?
I don't plan on doing an OS ROM update until I read up on what's out there.
I have already Rooted the evo with Unrevoked.
I also do NOT have "nandroid". I have Backup/Restore. It looks like the same concept, I already did a backup and copied the image folder to my hard drive.
I'm going to be purchasing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup Pro in a few days and see what those are all about.
But would it be ok to update the Baseband radio version and still maintain the Android 2.1os?
Thank you!

1. Yes it should be okay to update your radio.
2. If you are on clockwork, its called backuo/restore. On amon_ra he calls its nandroid, so they are the same thing.
3. You don't have to buy the pro on either of them, especially rom manager. The premium just allows you to download roms straight from the app. On titanium, the pro restores all your apps at once, instead of manually.
4. See number 1.

Got a baseband/radio question myself and didn't exactly think creating another thread was necessary:
I'm currently on 2.15.00.09.01. Would I need to wipe my phone completely before flashing a newer baseband version or can I just nand and then flash the new baseband?

[Q] Help! Stuck on white HTC screen after installing root!

So I installed CWM recovery, and installed the rmk root setup zip. Before I installed it, I wiped the cache but not the Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, it hung on the white HTC screen. I went back into recovery and wiped dalvik cache, cache and even data and settings, then installed the zip again and it still hangs. can somebody help me? Honestly at this point I just want to be able to use my phone again.
Thanks in advance

Did you install the root zip that included the froyo stock kernel? I made the same mistake. Just have to adb a compatible 2.3 kernel into your sdcard and flash it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
i'm pretty sure this is the zip i used. if thats what you're talking about, then how do I fix it?

You cant use that .zip because it uses the Froyo kernal which is incompatible. You have to push jcase's GB kernal to your sd card then flash that.

I'm sorry for the stupid question, and thank you so much for your help, but where can i find that? and what commands do I use to push the kernel to the phone?

Have no fear as long as you can get into CWM then you are still good.
How long does it hang, sometimes it takes a few minutes for that HTC screen to go away, especially if you wiped data. you might want to wait, a little bit.
You can always download a stock rom(jcase plainjane rom), get into CWM, and then mount your USB to be able to install from your computer, and then flash the new rom.
Did you make a backup before you flashed the update, you can always recover.

If you can get into CWM, look for Mounts/Storage and mount your USB so you can access your Phones SD card from your computer, then transfer the file from your computer to your phone.
or use adb if you are familiar with that.

you did get S-Off first right?

yes i have s-off, no i did not make a recovery (i wasnt aware i could do that before i rooted but i have come to terms with the fact that I lost a bunch of data).
okay, so i put the file on my sd card and... what? is it a zip file? where can i find it?
just so i understand, once I get this rooted kernel, i will be rooted and i will be able to install the cwm app and go from there?

and i don't necessarily want the stock rooted... i guess i could go from there but for right now could i download a 2.3 kernel with a different rom? are kernels bundled with roms or do i need to install them separately?
sorry, i'm a new user so i keep having to wait 5 minutes...

Kernels, can be rom specific or bundled but currently for the dinc2 there arent a lot so make sure it doesnt say it belongs to a specific rom otherwise it might not work.
Jcase has a stock kernel and rom he put up a while back for gingerbread.
They will be a .zip file and all you have to do is using recovery choose zip file and run it, since you already deleted everything.
When you install a rom, it will add su and busybox, and root your phone. You need your phone rooted to be able to do anything, after S-off.
if you have recovery installed then you have CWM and really what you want is Rom Manager to do backups.

tiamat kernel is an AOSP kernel. for CM7/MIUI/OM(F)GB
you'll get bootloops if you flash it on a sense rom.

[Q] Radio fails to flash under CWM 2.5.0.7 recovery

I've been searching for a solution before writing my own post, for I'm aware there are probably many, many topics of people dealing with the same issue.
Well, here's is my problem.
I've got two wildfires A3333. Flashed CM 7.2.0 on both of them, successfully. GPS does work on only one of them. I've tried the GPS test on the other one. The compass is working, the localization is not.
So, as said before, I've googled for some solution for the other one, and here comes the temporary downgrading of CWM to 2.5.0.7 and then installing one of the following: buzz.radio-3.35.15.31-signed.zip, buzz.radio-3.35.20.10-signed.zip or buzz.radio-3.35.19.25-signed.zip that will be put on the SD.
Ok, everything is set up, let's reboot to recovery.
Now, the recovery screen is showing version 3.0.0.6 and I don't know if that's normal, since I've set it to 2.5.0.7 before rebooting. Won't mind for now.
Let's flash the zips. And all I get is this message, with all of the radios:
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Uhm, let's try by setting the option toggle signature verification to disabled.
Here's a different message:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
It seems that the 3.0.0.6 version shown on the main menu is kind of relevant... Should it show 2.5.0.7 instead of that? What now?
Thanks in advance.

After flashing the temporary CWM,it'll automatically boot into that CWM version. Now flash the radio with that.
And if you reboot you'll return to the CWM version you had before.

Yes, if by "flashing the temporary CWM" you mean entering the ROM manager, tapping on All ClockwordMod Recoveries, download the 2.5.0.7 version, let it install and tap Reboot into recovery, well that's exactly what I did. And the recovery screen is showing me this 3.0.0.6 version anyway, which is kind of suspicious to me.
I've already read the topic you linked, some days ago, but that means having to wipe the CM 7.2.0 and reinstall it later and I'm not sure whether I can backup the apps that are in the EXT partition since I'm using Link2SD. And honestly, I'm not even sure I'm able to make a good backup.

I wouldn't really recommend using ROM Manager, and what I meant by flashing was to flash the CWM zip with your current Clockworkmod recovery.
And also consider upgrading your recovery.
And about the guide, just make a nandroid backup with CWM, and restore it instead of flashing a new rom.
Hope this helps

I shall give a try to it all and let you know.
One last question before I proceed. In order to upgrade my recovery I'd have to download the latest CWM available for Buzz and install it the same way I'll do with v2.5.0.7 (of course, after that step), am I right?
Thanks!

Ok, I've installed the v2.5.0.7 via the install from .zip option and got to install the radios. Woo!!
No, hold back.
Now the GPS icon is showing up but GPStest doesn't detect any activity.
I've installed 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 first, then 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 and then 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25. Same result.
Now should I rely on plan B?
I've read of someone who got it working by installing the 3 radios in crescent order. Is it worth a try?

No, that'll only be temporary, as with 2.5.
Get the PC49IMG.zip file for that recovery, put it on the root of the SD, reboot to bootloader, it'll scan and will ask to install, select yes, you're done.
First GPS fix will take some time, maybe from 2-10 mins.
I've only flashed the .20.10 Radio. It worked for me...
Or if you have a sense rom or the backup of your stock rom, give the guide a try...

Try this radio file. link, worked for me under cwm 2.5.0.7

My fault, there's something I should make clear.
The radios I've been talking about before have been installed on the first Wildfire, the one I said the GPS was working (and in the meanwhile it proved to be untrue as I discovered the GPS icon has never showed up before flashing the radio). This one Wildfire has CWM 2.5.0.1, installed with Unrevoked. The second Wildfire (which I'd like to use as my usual phone) was rooted with PC49IMG as Unrevoked wouldn't work with it and is running CWM 3.0.0.6, which I've reported in the first post.
For now, let's discard the CWM 3.0.0.6 phone.
It is on the CWM 2.5.0.1 phone where I've temporarily installed 2.5.0.7 and flashed the radios. Could it be relevant?
(maybe I'd better update the CWM anyway)

Uhm, link is broken. My CWM 2.5.0.7 looks to be working properly anyway.

stick with 2.5.0.7 recovery and 20.10 radios, that worked for me using Navitel, as for file here.

Flashed Froyo 2.2.1 shipped ROM... and GPS didn't work on it either. Great.
I've restored my CM backup and found out all my link2SD linked apps to be screwed in return. Vanished. Link2SD says there's soooo much free space in that second partition... can't imagine when it's been formatted, but nevermind.

I've already got that radio version but tried to flash the one you've gently provided me, well, same as the other radios. Icon showing but no activity at all.
I give up.

Unlikely, it's been some days I'm testing the GPS on the phone. But I shall test it away from home to be sure.
I'm from Naples, (IT) by the way.

Not really sure if CWM matters or not, we use 2.5 to flash radios because the flashing script is different from currently used ones.
Ty upgrading anyway,
Are you sure it isn't a hardware fault. If GPS doesnt work in stock rom, it could possibly be a hardware issue...

Too weird it happens on both devices, even if... well them both have had a nice dive in the sea but GPS used to work before flashing the new ROMs on each phone.
Sure there's something not correct in my procedure but can't find it out.

Well, I'm sorry mate. unless its a hardware fault or something I'm not in the know of, there are no more solutions I can think of.

Behold! He's thinking back.
It just looks like it's not able to track many satellites. Well, at least that's a relief.

Indeed it is, atleast it wasn't a hardware issue
Well done mate...
P.S. :- I'd recommend using 'GPS status and Toolbox' app which is much better than GPStest.
