[Q] How do I flash a radio? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I am running CM9 and I was looking to switch to the Blaze 4G radio from the LC8 because I am not getting 4G. What are the proper steps to flash a new radio? Would I need to reflash the rom? Or do I just install the radio without doing anything before hand?
Thanks!

Just flash the radio zip in cwm recovery and then wipe cache using darkside cache wipe zip.

Installing new version of CyanogenMod

I'm contemplating flashing the latest CM7 build.
At the moment I am running CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-KANG on my Wildfire S
Does anyone know if I have to factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache as if I was flashing an entirely different ROM? And will I have to reflash gapps as well?
I'd appreciate any advice on this.

I think you don't need to wipe anything bcos you are going to flash CM7 again, just newer version.
Gapps, I think you will have to reflash them
Go in cwm and install from zip. Or open the cyanogenmod zip with rom manager.
I flashed from 7.2rc1 to 7.2final a few days ago without reflashing gapps or wiping anything
Don't wipe anything. In cwm you will see it only updates your existing system.
But make an nandroid backup for sure

[Q] Help flashing ics rom!!!

How do I flash an ics rom on my gingerbread rooted t989???? We never I flash aokp it boot loops! I been out of the loop a while can someone please help me???
Each ICS rom in the development section typically provides flashing instructions specific to the rom. I suggest you find the rom you want to flash and follow instructions in the OP. Keep in mind since you are currently running GB and wish to upgrade to ICS, you will need to flash an IGS radio. General flash instructions are usually as follows:
1. Factory Reset / Wipe Data or flash Darkside Superwipe
2. Flash Radio
3. Flash Rom
4. Reboot
5. Let rom settle for 5-10 mins, Reboot again
6. Enjoy. If you get a boot loop at this point or phone freezes at this point, flash Darkside Cache Wipe (which wipes cache, dalvik cache, and fixes permissions)
There's no special stuff I have to do before is it just like flashing a gb rom???
Same process, nothing special.

No Data AOKP

I'm having trouble getting my data to work with the AOKP ROM latest.
For some reason this is the only rom that does not give me data.
These are the steps I have taken.
1. Darkside Super Wipe
2. Install Rom
3. Install Gapps
4. Darkside Cach Wipe
Another attempt
1. Darkside Super Wipe
2. Tmo UVLE1 ICS MODIFIED RADIO
3. Install Rom
4. Install Gapps
5. Darkside Cach Wipe
Same attempt as top but instead Tmo UVLC8 ICS MODIFIED RADIO
Tried to install Radio after rom
Tried resetting VPN
Tried pulling battery
Nothing seems to work and data just does not work. Is there something that I'm missing?

Try using the TLLE4 radio instead and see how that works.

Im going to try that Radio. Ill let you know if it works.
It worked.. Thanks a thousand!!

Try installing the radio before you super wipe. I had the exact same problem and the telus radio worked, but I got the LE1 radio working somehow..

How do i change from existing rom and kernel to a new rom and kernel?

This is a noob question but i'm still very much new to this.
I have aokp 10/8
and i'm running one of simonsimon's kernels
and i need a guide on how to update my kernel to Jellyboot5 and how to update my ROM from the 10/8 nightly build to the 10/17 stable/nightly build. Someone please provide me with a quick explanation on how i should do this. What should i clear? and how do i flash it and which files do i flash first? All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
For kernel you flash it normally ..like you flashed it the first time
For Rom you flash it from recovery and only wipe cache and dalvik cache ..thats it

same way as u flashed 1st rom
flash kernel
wipe data/cache/dalvik
flash rom

njoy
First go into bootloader
Flash kernel
Then enter recovery without doing any reboots ....and flash the new Rom but before wipe cache and dalvik cache

Frosty doesn't include a modem. You have to flash that separately if you want to change it.
