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.

Does anyone have suggestion which sense?
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..!!

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
ntdst
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
the ril-firmare-drivers updates for it too

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)

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.
which is the best custom rom 7.0.0 / 7.0.2 or 7.0.3? which is the best radio cause i understerstood that i need to flash the radio to make the gps work, please help
and a tutorial for flashing the radio?
If you are going to stick with a Stable version, go for 7.0.3. As for radio, there are 3 versions, one ending in 20.10, one ending in 19.25 and one with 15.31. It is recommended to flash the one with 19.25. It can be downloaded here:
http://rom.tat.tw/wildfire/wildpuzzlerom/radio/Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25.zip
Flashing a Radio is same as flashing a ROM Zip file. Go to Recovery > Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above Zip. However, there are a few basic differences :
- Radio's can only be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. If you have followed the many tutorials around, you will probably have Clockworkmod 3.x, and wont be able to flash the Radio.
- To overcome this, when you install CM, you will have an app called ROM Manager. Open it, Click Install Clockworkmod Recovery inside the app. It will install v2.5
- Once install is complete, select Reboot into Recovery from within the ROM Manager app.You will then boot into Clockworkmod 2.5 and will be able to flash radios successfully.
Pointers for flashing a radio
- Make sure you have sufficient battery charge
- Do NOT interrupt the process at all. It's sensitive

l.e: did it. 10x a lot
It says up top Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
My radio ends with 20.10 and GPS works just fine. Should I still flash the recommended radio? Do you have any idea what the differences are?
No, if GPS works fine, leave it. Flashing radios should be avoided really, unless absolutely necessary.

Anyway realize that u have the latest radio and u r thinking of flashing a previous radio.
Flashing radio is not recommended unless u have issues with it. It has the potential of bricking the phone when interrupted. Radio has the secure flag.
The wildfires which has been rooted after alpharevX must be having radio ending with 20.10 because they are made s-off from stock froyo AFAIK. In such case when no issues, donot reflash the radio.

Hi Guys,
I update the wireless N driver for my EVO today, I follow the following thread (2nd method);
[FIX] Wireless N on Evo 4.24.651.1 ROM
I did everything with the exception of Wipe dalvik cache and cache (because I dont know how to).
After I reboot my phone and I try to enable the WIFI i get the "WIFI error message".
Any ideas on how to fix it ?
HTC EVO 2.3.3
Baseband 2.15.00.05.02
Build 4.26.651.1
Thanks for the help.
I had this error when I flashed my kernel and didn't clear all the caches in the rom manager settings. If you updated through a zip and rom manager I would try doing that.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply Sp0d.
I used Titanium Backup to clear dalvik, but I still have the same error.
Can you tell me how to do it ? I root my EVO Today using unrevoked.
Thanks
reboot into recovery, and wipe dalvik, and cache, also I heard to turn off wifi before doing this also.
Question
From the Recovery Menu, which option do I need to use ?
To do it from within the recovery menu, I think you have to choose apply update from zip. But I think the file has to be called update.zip
It would probably be easier to download 'rom manager' from the market place (there is a free version) then I would download Adao file manager.
Once you get both installed, use Adao manager to browse to the download folder and select your wifi fix.zip file. It SHOULD open with rom manager and bring up the options to clear the caches and flash. Once you click that it will restart your phone into recover and flash it for you.
Hope this helps!
Which recovery are you using?
This is what I have done so far;
I download the driver bcm4329.ko (see attachment)
Unzip on the SD
Using Root Explorer I copy driver and paste on /system/lib/modules
Change the permission of 'bcm4329.ko' to 'rw-r--r--'
Clean Dalvik Using Titanium Pro
Reboot the phone
After the reboot I try to enable the WIFI and I get the "WIFI Error"
I have the custom recovery from Unrevoked.
Okay couple of issues, lets try to work them one at a time. 1st this N fix is for very specific roms. I don't see in any of the above posts exactly what you flashed.
----NOTICE----
This fix is for 4.24 sense based ROMs only using the HTC #1 kernel. The driver is kernel specfic. If you or your ROM uses a custom kernel, do NOT flash this. It will break your wifi.
It will NOT work on CM7/ASOP ROMs at all. Do NOT flash this onto a non-sense ROM. If I recall correctly, CM7 should already have Wifi N support build into the ROM. (Let me know if this isn't the case and I will look into it. EDIT: Confirmed, ASOP/CM7 has N support built in.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So assuming that you have this on the right rom and kernel the next issue is which of the three recoveries you have. I assume you know how to boot into recovery. For Amon Ra to wipe Caches go to the wipe menu. For TWRP go to the flash zip menu and wipe is under that. For clockwork, well, I forget, but if that's what you have let me know and I'll flash it and give you directions.
I was able to clear caches using clockwork.
I re-download the file and change the permissions on it. Right now is working.
Thanks for the time and effort.
No problem. Glad I could help.
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:

- 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)

First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.

*make sure your battery is fully charged before updating radio*
1. download all 3 versions of radios to the phones sd card (place it in root map).
2. (download and) open ROMManager.
3. scroll down and go to >> All ClockwordMod Recoveries (next: CWM).
4. Downgrade your CWM to version: 2.5.0.7 (this is important because as far as I know it the only CWM version you can manually update radio version without getting an error).
5. After downgrading, scroll up and go to >> Reboot into recovery
6. clear dalvik chache
6. Install radio version 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 instead of 3.35.20.10
7. reboot phone, you will now have perfect working GPS, WIFI and Signals, if not, try other 2 radio versions. Mind that the GPS Icon changed.
8. Open ROMManager again and download and install latest version of CWM again.
When 3.35.19.25 works, you can reflash to 3.35.20.10. Most of the times GPS will still work and you have the updated radio as well.
Try this, helped to me
