Hi, I have the Koodo T989D and I was thinking of flashing a custom ROM but I also read that you need a radio? Can someone else in detail what it is? What is the best radio? I'm using my unlocked T989D on WIND MOBILE in Canada. Thanks!
Most of the roms available here do not have the radio included in it, meaning that the version of the radio (System Setings -> About phone -> Baseband version) will not be overwritten.
If you flash a rom and find after that the phone disconnects from wifi or does not connect with your service provider, it is safe to keep a radio zip file handy.
You can find most of the available radios for your phone here:

There is no "good" radio. It depends on your location.
Fell free to test all of them and see which one performs better.

Alright so my phone is a Koodo T989D, would I be able to install lets say a T-Mobile T989? Also I see a lot of radio for Telus,T-Mobile etc.. which one would be the newest and better one compared to call those like the multiple ones.
i would say to use a TELUS radio because TELUS is Canadian it should get you a better reception

Ok and it would work with 4.0.4 or with any custom rom such as the 4.1.2 CM10?
radio can be flash with any rom

I have the same phone and am using it for Mobilicity. I'm using Liquid Smooth RC7 right now with UVLH1 radio. This combination works well for me. I know RC 9 is released but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. RC7 is working perfect for me so I am reluctant to flash the new version.
But just as others have said, try different radios to see which one works best for you. Everyone is different depending on where they live. Just remember to Nandroid it first before trying anything.

Ok, how do I flash it? My phone is rooted. So if I flash the TELUS one and follow the process, my phone can't be bricked right if only I did a wrong step.

Before you flash anything, remember to back up your stock rom first in case you ever need to change it back for warranty purposes or in case your messed up somewhere along the way.
Once its backed up,then you start to flash the rom of your choice. Just follow the instructions laid out by the dev. Your radio wont be affected when you flash a rom. You can flash the radios separately afterwards. I use Cwm without any issues but others use TWRP. Use what you are comfortable with. You shouldnt soft brick your phone as long as you flash the ones deigned for our phones.

Ok, so how do I backup this rom? Also if I want to still use this stock koodo rom, can you show me the step by step to install the TELUS radio? Right now I have the koodo radio but if I install the TELUS radio, it will change the radio by default to TELUS right?

So I just installed the TELUS radio and it didn't work so I wanted to revert back but whenever I shut down, the capacative touch buttons on it won't turn off which causing me to take out the battery to turn back on the phone. Why is this happening?
What do you mean it didn't work? Are you not getting any reception or data? Did you check your APN settings? You can always restore the backup if you remembered to do so before you flashed the radio. Or you can flash the Koodo radio listed in the radio link from my previous post.
Not sure why the buttons stay lit. I never had that before. Maybe a different radio doesn't work with stock rom. Try to flash a custom one. As stated before, try Liquidsmooth or CM10 Stable.

As long as it is a cdma radio specifically for the evo.
2. should i even flash the new wimax because i am on cm6?
Not really.
3. i just flash these like custom roms correct?
Yes. Use recovery. Note that when you start to install, the phone will quickly kick back to reboot option, hit reboot. It will reboot and start installing.

Hi,
I've searched but cannot find a simple guide to flash a stock Rogers i927R (GB non-rooted) to ATT ICS I927UCLJ3.
I'm outside the US and Rogers may never offer the update via Keis, so I think flashing is the only option right now.
I've read various links but they seem different depending on the starting point.
I don't necessarily need root, just would like the official ICS update.
I've downloaded Odin and the I927UCLJ3 from sammobile.com.
Any help appreciated for a newb, with steps and why each step is needed.
Thanks.
You need to install the md5 that you downloaded.
First off make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer.
Put your phone into download mode by pushing volume up and power at the same time.
Plug phone into computer.
Make sure you have the md5 you have downloaded in the pda slot of Odin and the box beside it is checked.
Hit start and you should see a box in the top left corner start doing stuff.
When its done you are done.
Sorry I'm not at a computer but this is pretty much what ya do

According to that guide I need CWMR as well, which is for making a backup of the system.
Does having it installed have any adverse effect, such as future updates, etc ?

I'm the same, a newb at android flashing which is why I'm just data gathering at the moment, so wont be doing this for at least a few weeks until I feel comfortable.
Plus, would like to wait and see if Rogers release an official update as well.
Might need to find a video of it being done with similar steps.
Still waiting on a reply to these questions from this thread:
1. Do I need CWMR installed ?
2. Does the device have to be rooted first before flashing the ATT ICS md5 ?

No and No, CWMS is a custom recovery program that takes the place of the stock android recovery and gives you backup and recovery options as well as flashing via the program from a zip file.Rooting just lets programs access protected files and folders from the operating system aka root access = access to root files.
Flashing from Odin has nothing to do with root or custom recovery.

Yes,you can install other roms after you flash it,it isnt permanent.
There are no risks for nor installing a custom recovery, but if you are concerned about returning to GB then install a custom recovery and do a complete backup of your GB before you do the flash to JB.

stingernwo, Does your GPS still work ?
I found after I upgraded to ICS I couldn't use GPS anymore.. but when I reverted to Rogers stock GB .. GPS worked again like a charm....
CWM - it's not needed to flash with Odin, its only needed to flash your phone with any .zip files (many addons/roms are in .zip format)
Odin is used primarily for STOCK rom flashing.
CWM is needed to Root the phone when it's ICS and to make Nandroid (full complete snapshot) backups. If you explore your SD Card on the computer you can rename the backups to something easier to identify than dates but don't put spaces in the file names or you get checksum errors when restoring.
If you want a rooted GB you'll need to download the specific rooted glide firmware for either ATT or Rogers (Download links are in the Glide root guide)

No, My GPS Only worked fully on the stock Rogers GB .. I went right to ICS with literom and a pre-rooted UCLH2 rom.
However, I'm happy to spread the news that TheGreaterGood's 0.8.4 literom has fully working GPS, All the ice cream sandwich goodness and some other built in goodies. I'm very happy with this Rom so far!!
It just came out so there's mixed reviews on battery, but I figure if I keep GPS turned off except the odd time (which is hard since i've been without it so long) then it should be ok!

1) Finally decide to flash the Stock UCLJ3 Rooted AT&T ICS Rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994902
Once I was satisfied I had done enough backups with CWMR, it was actually quite simple, and the flash itself took less than 10mins.
2) The only issue was with the GPS which I got to work using these 2 threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1239713
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=gps
Essentially had to make minor changes to 2 files:
/etc/gps.conf
NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org [changed from: noth-america.pool.ntp.org] since I'm in Australia.
/etc/sirfgps.conf
EXTERNAL_LNA=0 [changed from 1]
FREQUENCY_AIDING=1 [changed from 0]
ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 [changed from 1 since I'm not on AT&T]
Rebooted and ran 'GPS Test', once it found 8 satellites and locked onto 3 of them within a few minutes I then ran Google Maps while driving in the car and it stayed locked onto my position.
3) Just a note, when I flashed the Pure Stock UCLJ3 over the previous Rogers GB 2.3.6, then booted up, the phone had re-locked and was requesting the Network Unlock Key.
Luckily I already had the Unlock Key, because a few months after buying the device, it turned off after running out of battery, and on the next boot it was requesting the code.
The place I bought it from provided the key which I kept in case it were to happen again.
Entering the same Key on ICS worked of course.
4) On the plus side, on Vodafone in Australia:
Rogers Stock 2.3.6 = highest 3G speed was 14.4Mbit
AT&T Rooted Stock 4.0.4 = highest 3G speed of 21.6Mbit
This is in the same areas I travel and at home.
Long time lurker, first (maybe second) time poster.
I'd really like to mess around with my phone's potential, but every time I flash a custom ROM I lose all data connectivity. 2g/voice works fine, but 3G and LTE are out the window.
Here are a few things I've tried AFTER flashing to a customer ROM. I come from years of using HTC phones and software, so I'm definitely fumbling around in the dark here. Please, excuse me if I sound ridiculous.
- I'm on Sprint
- Flashed radio zips in recovery (various ones from reading other threads)
- Used Odin to flash radio files (various ones from reading other threads)
- Repeatedly attempted to update Profile and PRL with error messages saying I couldn't update them and to call customer service
I'm not really sure what else to put up here or to try. I'm hoping the great XDA can help out! Again, I only loose data connectivity after flashing a new ROM. Unlock and root do not effect radios, and I'm able to use the phone just fine on stock software.
Attached is a screenshot of my stock build.
Thanks,
Brandon
I am a little baffled that after 150 views, no one else on this board has shared a similar experience. While its remotely possible, there is just no way I am the only one to have had this issue.

2) install custom ROM
3) ???
4) Profit?
I mean, if there are other steps, I'm sure I can figure them out. So, I'm assuming that there is typically no need to do anything to the radios after installing a ROM?
after flashing the stock images (all of them, dont leave any out just to be sure) youd need to flash the custom recovery and then you can install the custom rom.

Sorry, but when you say all of the stock images, what do you mean? What other stock images are there?
And wait, sorry, there's something I didn't mention. I've been using the GN ToolKit for a lot of this. How do I push the stock image you linked me to using fastboot?

3. Reboot into recovery and install

and a few people in some of the guide threads have basically stated the same. Is it really this simple now or do I still need to follow the guide from a year ago or the one in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962633 ?
So far all I have done is install CWMR Touch 6.0.1.2 Recovery and run backup in both blob and tar formats. Actually does this even work properly without rooting first?
You don't need root, but you can't quite go straight either. The current SOP is:
Flash TW-ICS, meaning UCLG9 or UCLH2 or UCLJ3, using the respective OneClick
Flash CWMR using Odin (the previous step overwrites recovery so you will have to do this again even if you flashed CWM previously)
Boot into CWM
Flash your AOSP-JB ROM of choice
Flash the correct gapps for your ROM
Format /data (aka factory reset)
Reboot into ROM and enjoy
Step 1 may or may not be necessary -- nobody's tried going from TW-GB straight to AOSP-JB yet. If you're feeling adventurous, try it and let us know how it goes.
Once you've flashed a TW-ICS once, you won't need to do it again -- at that point flashing a new TW-ICS or AOSP-JB ROM is as simple as flash-format-boot.
Thanks for the updated info, I didn't think it would be that simple.
Not sure what TW stands for since I haven't seen that abbreviation yet.
But basically for step one I can grab the UCLG9 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841502
and flash it with CWM and then follow on from step 2? Or would I be better off grabbing the newer UCLJ3 from SamMobile and using Odin?

I would get the full EXE, just to be sure. The CWM zips generally don't include bootloader or baseband and that's the important stuff.

I used the CWM flash and can confirm the no updated baseband since it still had the stock Rogers one on AT&T-ICS and in CM-10.1. Not sure about ICS but in CM-10.1 I could get voice but no data and haven't tested txt.
Going to flash back to stock with the backup I made for now while I research solutions to a few personal gripes I have with CM-10.1.
And would the UCLJ3 from SamMobile with odin or kies be as effective as the EXE version since I already have it downloaded?
Thanks for helping a total noob and to be honest this is my first Android phone.

I used the CWM flash and can confirm the no updated baseband since it still had the stock Rogers one on AT&T-ICS and in CM-10.1. Not sure about ICS but in CM-10.1 I could get voice but no data and haven't tested txt.

I just took a peek... ooh. Looks like pretty much everything is in there. You should be good.
Hello everyone i hope someone can help with my issue. I have done an extensive search in regards to my issue but can not find a true answer so i hope some one can help here. I was given a US based T-mobile SGH-T989. When I got it I could swipe to open phone but screen would be comepletly black. I did a wipe and restore but no luck. I used Odin to flash newest stock rom and had same result.. I then decided to flash it with stock shipped rom which was Gingerbread and phone was up and running except for one lil problem the Baseband, IMEI and such were all unknown. I have been searching to see if I could try and flash baseband but havent been able to find anything understandable or even for the T989. could anyone please advise me of what i could do to fix this problem? I do realize that maybe the Baseband chip itself could be the issue but i would like to try and flash it fresh first before i declare this phone toast. thank you all in advance. If this problem has been posted before my apologies i could not find a thread for the T989 with this issue non the less one with US T-Mobile baseband files.

Baseband=radio.
Try the radios from this thread:

You will need a custom recovery(CWM, TWRP) to install them.

Couldnt I use Odin to flash the baseband? the phone is not rooted it is stock. i would like to keep it that way if possible untill issue is resolved but if the only way to fix the problem is to root it let me know.

You can take the two radio files out of the zip(amss.bin & mdm.bin) and tar them up with
tar -cvf name_for_tar_file.tar amss.bin mdm.bin
But you don't even need to root to install a custom recovery. Just Odin one of the tar files from here:

And install the radios from the thread I linked earlier.

So i did what was recomended and still same issue no IMEI or Baseband says Unknown. So is it possible that The radio I choose was not a good one or is my Baseband chip bad? when I installed the zip from recovery it said install successful but obviously it did not work. starting to think i have a paper weight at this point.

It is possible that you have a hardware problem. I would try all the radios just to be sure though. Good luck.
