Thanks man. I'll update that link.

Is there an Hboot guide? I haven't updated mine since I rooted. Still on 2.10.0001 I keep my radios, PRL and PRI up to date. Do the newer Hboots contain anything useful or something that I don't already get from a custom kernel? Currently running GB roms. Either Tommytomatoe's or SS_Ultra.

Sorry for the bump. I have been unable to find any type of change-log or recommendations. I saw a couple threads recommending updating the hboot for Anthrax or other kernel use. Basically, I am mostly on stock kernel 2.6.35.10.

You don't HAVE to update your radio to use the rom. And if you're on the 2.10 hboot, I'd strongly recommend to NOT change it; one of the most friendly bootloaders.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ONLY reason to change hboot is from difficulty with rooting, or esn changes.
Other than that, I've been on 3 different hboot versions an can't tell a difference.
If its not broke, don't mess with it. You can really mess up your phone by playing with the hboot.

Synergy Rom - My phone wont sleep

Sup yall,
First day on synergy rom nightly 6/9, battery not to good so far, but is bout the average for stock kernels. It has the new kernel from the evo 2.3.3 OTA. But my phone wont sleep, I know that cant help, anybody else have this issue?? Or some things to try to fix it. Thanks guys. Ill post some screen grabs but the xda app keeps saying the pics are invalid format. Wuts that?

Did you downgrade your pri/nv to the 1.77 like they suggested? If you haven't that could be why your phone isnt sleeping.
If you're using shootme to take screenshots its set for PNG format, xda app only accept jpeg. Go into settings and change to jpeg.

Yeah and my Pri is still.1.40. Ive never updated my radios or pri. Since the first froyo OTA, been rooted ever since, and I dont mess with radios or nuthin, from wut I see it causes problems more often then not.
Some may say that my phone is "way out of date" but ive never had a problem with any rom really with my combo, so id like to keep it that way, out of all the roms ive had (myn,fresh,cyanogen) this is the first one that has gave me the "wakelock" (is that what its called? ).
I mean this is a nightly so this could be a bug that will be fixed, but im hopin I can fix it, cause this rom is the....SHIZ NIT.... (haha..oops!)

Thats the problem right there man, these newer roms require the latest radios, pri/nv, wimax, and prl. Your phone will never sleep if you dont upgrade those. Once you upgrade everything then just downgrade the pri/nv to 1.77 and you're done.
The very first zip is the all in one you can flash in recovery. You should see a big difference in battery life.

Thanks man, I have also been having issues. I upgraded my pri though, so I will flash this radio.

Be sure to flash both the 1.77 pri and the 1.77 NV. The first zip in that link will overwrite your pri you will need to apply the 1.77 after you flash the combo zip.
Now you tell me.

So can you tell me the whole process from start to finish?

Its very easy. Grab this zip and put on root of sd card. (This is the complete GB radio combo)
http://www.mediafire.com/?s5aen3yr58trofh
Flash in recovery and let the phone finish it; it will take a min or two. Reboot the phone to make sure you have all the latest updates. Check in settings/software (u should know how to check baseband, pri, prl etc).
Go back to that forum link I posted above and download the 1.77 PRI and 1.77 NV zip. Proceed to recovery to flash them one by one (pri/NV). Reboot and enjoy.
Here's the forum link again where you get both 1.77 zips.

Could be lagging because your ROM needs to be reset... try factory resetting... and yes your pretty up to date... but fc09 is the latest actually... you could just flash an fc09 rom if your rooted and have a custom recovery...
Also please place questions in Q&A thanks =]

Once the telephone is updated to the latest stock rom: GINGERBREAD.UVLDE.

It can no longer be rooted using the version of the su file the forum posts point to. Although the information in the posts are accurate.
You must use a newer version of the su file. This is the one that worked for me: Corrected http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip Corrected
You will get an error message after Clockwork runs the script but everything should be ok.
Basically, if your a newb go to: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2-faq/
Follow the rooting guide, but instead of using the included su zip file use the one from the link that I provided.
I hope that this helps.

I dont want to be rude. Thanks for this but i think this is already posted. If you get error just go back wipe dalvik and cache and flash it again or just flash it a couple times. I got this error when i rooted stock kl1 but i knew it because it was reported already and fix was posted as well. I did exactly same to root LDE and it works. If u get error just flash again...thats all.

Yes, as has been stated even prior to the update, some people had to flash su several times for it to take hold.
If it is aborting, you can also toggle off signature verification. Worked like a charm for me.

[Q] I need the best Sense based ROM so I can update Profile and prl

I am bringing my Evo 4G back from the grave on RingPlus. I need to update the PRL and Profile, but I have CM7.2 installed on it. I see all development has of course ended for this phone. What are the best sense based ROM's with their newest versions?
There are still roms being developed, not a ton but there are some out there. Ctb has the latest ota updated odex and deoxd.

Is this an android 2.3 based ROM? The ROM I have used before was MikG but when I went to the forum there was little to no activity so I'm not sure if MikG is still a good ROM or not either, but it doesn't matter since the download links no longer work.

So far this one is working. I'm open to suggestions to trying the newer sense one if it runs better or has better battery life.

Update from T-Mobile?

So I received an update from T-Mobile which said it had stability improvements. But then I also noticed they updated the baseband. I can't see or feel any noticeable changes. Just putting it out there in case you haven't gotten anything yet if you're on stock. I was hyped for something else

More than likely because of this http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...s_to_some_Samsung_Galaxy_devices?pageNumber=1
This indeed is the most recent update Rolled out by Samsung. It very well could be related to the flaw discovered. It is also likely meant to answer the signal issues some users have experienced with the last update. I have posted a little guide to Root this version.
