I have been using various ROMs and Kernels, right now I am on MIUI v5.
There was one problem that never solved: Data Network instability.
I have seen that HTC recently released new radios for HTC ONE V, can I use them on the MIUI v5(sense based)?
I can to revert back to stock completely, did not find any RUUs. Lost my NANDROID Backup
Please help me, I want to stabilize my radio anyway possible.
If you update your radio, you won't be able to install any rom, so you won't go back to MIUI. I don't think it's worth updating

Hi everyone,
I'm new at xda developers, and I recently started experimenting with rooting, custom ROMs, etc. I have a question about the RIL firmware drivers. Hope you guys can help me out.
Lately I've been following the progression of baadnewz's InsertCoin ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940), a Desire port of the Desire S ROM (with sense 2.1); you probably already know it. I want to give it a try, but - coming from CM7/prerooted stock roms - I noticed that baadnewz recommends upgrading the radio to the latest version, as well as the ril-firmware-drivers.
I understand the RIL is some kind of mediator between the ROM and the radio. Therefore, is it true that a specific RIL can only be used with a corresponding ROM (version), or has the ROM nothing to do with it? The reason I'm asking this question is because I want to make sure the newer radio+ril will still work in case I decide to return to my old stock ROM. And in general, is it ok to presume that a newer radio+ril will be at least as good as an older radio, regardless of the ROM installed? (I've never upgraded my radio btw)
Thank you!
RIL is not neccesary, use it if things dont work well, it may improve situation, but it is likely that you will have to experiment till you found one that works best for your phone & rom & radio.
RIL is stored in ROM part, so every time you change ROMs, RIL you flashed is gone.
also you do not need to upgrade your radio, do it only if stuff doesnt work fine after flashing a custom ROM.
you also mentiond coming back to stock rom - when you ran a RUU, it also flashes a RADIO and a RIL, so no worries there
every radio comes with its own RIL, but experience showed, that not necessairly they work well together when it comes do diffrent devices on diffrent networks and diffrent roms.
so - flash your rom, if it is ok that leave things be, if not - upgrade your radio, and then you can start flashing RILs
remmember to make NANDROID before flashing RIL and also that in order to flash RIL you must mount \system in recovery.
radio flashes are safest from fastboot if you are S-OFF, if not you can do them from recovery
Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it
I have one last question, just out of curiosity.. You mentioned that radio flashes are safest from fastboot. Why is that?
I'm still S-ON so I won't be able to use fastboot for flashing... Would you recommend S-OFFing to minimize the risk of bricking my phone, in case I decide to flash a new radio?
Thnx
well you can flash radio from recovery, lots of ppl do that without any problems. i never tried it myself.
i think fastboot method is safer since it doesnt involve rebooting your phone during the procedure but not sure how exactly is this safer, it just has been stated many times, that flashing radio fastboot method is SAFEST.
anyway going S-OFF (cd method i used) is super easy, just be sure not to have a2sd+ or data2xxx rom while doing that.
oh and apart from minor advantages like changing your splashscreen or the ability to delete apps from \system while booted up in android there is one BIG advantage - the option to use custom partion table. I am running InsertCoin v19 on CM7 hboot version, and is not only super fast but also it provides lots of space for apps
it definietly faster than insertcoin HD data2ext i used before going S-OFF
My HTC desire was originally T-mobile UK Branded. After rooting and messing about with a few custom ROM's I returned it to Stock using:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
Downloaded from xda
It's now clean unrooted, unbranded, stock hBoot HTC Sense 2.2, nice and stable apart from a few problems with text messages.
Question.
Will this phone update to Gingerbread (if it ever does actually appear!!) in it's current state, or will I have to try and find the original T-mobile branded ROM? Which I don't have by the way; anyone got it???

Why did't you just say Rooted and use you best RoM, and wait for the XDA Devs to use official RoM? imo A leaked version will come out before OTA.
since you debranded it i see no reason to not recive OTA
so you should be ok
Does stock Desire have sense 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Also wouldnt bother re-branding it as the unbranded version will be out MONTHS before the network versions - if they ever bother to bring one out that is !!

To get OTA updates from your carrier you will need the official rom, the t-mobile roms are listed with the other RRUs in the Dev forum here (look for the TMO RRUs) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
a direct link to the latest t-moble RRU i beleave is this one here - http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
hope this helps
OTA on debranded handsets (with a gold card) stopped working with the last OTA update - chances are you'll need to use an RUU (assuming it leaks) OR a custom ROM
I found RUU to make the phone more stable than an OTA to be honest.
When I had 2.1 -> 2.2 the bluetooth was all over the place, kept dropping out etc., and a few other minor niggles.
Flashed 2.2 RUU from scratch and it seemed to 'fix' some of the issues I was having.
Friend of mine tried same but had been factory resetting to try and fix things and I suggested running RUU and he said his phone seemed more stable after that too (rather than the factory reset option)
Not sure how much of the above is just a placebo effect - or the reinstall completely did fix some possibly dodgy files?

Maybe the OTA update didn't clear cashe correctly when it installed to make a bug. At the end of the day RRUs contain all OTA updates up to a certen point, the reinstall would wipe cashe and data so it would fix the bug you had.

OK, here is a rundown of what happened.
I have EVO 4G rooted with CM7.1 ROM.
My line was eligible for upgrade, but I wanted to use my upgrade for my brothers line with GS2 phone from Amazon. I bought it from Amazon, activated on my line, then had sprint swap the phones.
After the swap and I was back on my EVO 4G, my 3G was not working. So I tried to read up on some things and since I didn't want to have to revert back to stock before taking it to Sprint, I tried to flash the latest radios. That didn't solve the problem. So now I figured I should just revert back to stock and take it to Sprint. Tried to use UnRevoked S-On tool, then PC36IMG.zip to get it back to stock. The problem now is that I cant flash the Unrevokd S-On tool. It gives me an error saying the radio is not compatible. Maybe this was from me flashing the latest radios? So before I get any further down a hole, I wanted to ask if anyone knew how I can solve my issues.
Thanks in advance!
You dont need to unroot, but you DO need to be on a stock rom to be able to change your number and such.
Any examples of stock ROMs I can use?
Theres one by brad 560. Its just a stock rom.
Any rom based of of fw 4.54 will work. Its sense 1.0 so look for that.
Anything with CM7,AOSP,MIUI,SENSE 2.0,3.0,3.5 is not stock.

Umm, the stock one...

You don't need to mess with s-on, radios or unroot. All you need is to load a Sense based Rom and Update your Profile. Every time you swap phones, your Profile 1 AAA password changes. Updating Profile fixes it.
Hi, probably going to sound like a N00b question but I haven't yet found answer that fits.
If I have a HOX that is running v1.26 and I root and ROM to something using v1.29 or anything higher than 1.26 can I use the RUU for 1.26 that fits my CID to revert to stock?
Only reason I ask is that I have already had one HOX that I managed to well and truly kill that my provider has fortunately replaced for me (although they don't yet know it's been unlocked!).
The Mic died after a few days from root and ROM onto RD MIUI, but as I had performed a full wipe I had no stock backup to revert to when I then wanted to get it replaced, and so ended up trying all I could to find the RUU for v1.29 but there was only v1.26 available. So I've had to send back my faulty handset with a different ROM on it.
Just looking to avoid a repeat in the future.
Thanks

It is the hboot you can't downgrade. As far as I can tell, it has been updated with every release of the OTA.
If you root and install a ROM with a newer base, the hboot won't be updated (unless it's a newer stock ROM updated by RUU or OTA) you can still go back to an RUU with the same or newer version you have now.
I recently switched from my stock unrooted HTC One m9 to to the Android rev rom (see:http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-android-revolution-hd-3-0-art-t3068820) and have encountered several problems, such as freezes in gallery, phone heating a lot etc. So I've been wanting to switch to the viper one m9 3.5.0 (see:http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-viperonem9-1-0-0-tweaks-hub-t3072773) , will I need to download some other things, or do I just flash the rom thru TWRP?
And if I perhaps want to go back to stock, how do I do that? I didn't know what a nandroid backup was at the time....
Sorry for the probably dumb question but I'm scared ****less about bricking my phone.
Thanks.
Im presuming you didn't update the phones firmware with the update to android rev, that might be responsible for the issues you are having. If so you would have same issues with viper.
But that being said, firmware flashing is a bit trickier without the phone being s-off also http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
