Hi guys,
I have a wildfire with hboot-6.01.1002 S-off and radio 3.35.20.10.
I had the gps bug, so I tried all the ways to fix it but without success. So I tried to reflash radio and just trying to flash older versions I found out that the radio doesn't get flashed.
I tried laptop method too but with win8 is impossible for my wildfire to get recognized and all the tricks seen on internet or on this forum don't work.
Ooops I forgot to say that from RomManager I downgrade to cwm 2.x, then I reboot the phone, but in recovery I see again cwm 5.x, so everytime I install from there the 2.x version and I flash radio, but at system reboot I find 3.35.20.10 radio again.
Could you help me pls?
ps. sorry for my bad english.

You can try to use a temporary 2.x flashable cwm zip file and flash it after a cwm recovery reboot: I have cwm 6 installed and reflashing the radio in this way I usually fix GPS and WiFi problems (I have to do it once or twice every time after I install a new ROM).

Hi, could you explain me the procedure?
Where do I find a temporary cwm?
--- do you mean install a cwm 2.x in recovery mode? It doesn't work, I wrote it in the first post too.
mate, you don't have to flash a new radio to fix the GPS issue.
Here's what I do,
#Turn GPS on in your current ROM, and wait for a stable location fix,
#while GPS is still on, power off the phone.
#Now boot into recovery and flash your new ROM
#now after flashing and booting into your new ROM you'll be able to use GPS again.
You'll have to do this everytime you flash a new gingerbread ROM or above..
if your current ROM doesn't have working GPS, just flash Sense ROM, the GPS will work. then do as I said.
I always though flashing radio's are a little risky, as this is a risk free method, I think everyone should use this instead..
cheers ...

Every time I try a sense rom at installing point I lose screen, just some colored strips, do you remember 80 cabinet game before loading? if yes ... those ones
But that's really strange that i'm not able to flash radio anyway.

I'm guessing you're referring to RemPuzzle ROM which has Aroma installer.
yea Aroma installer does that on cwm5.
only way to fix that is to revert to CWM4 permanent ( untill you decide to go back to a higher cwm version.)
anyway try another sense ROM, like DK's custom ROM or similar ..
cheers..
I was just reading about DK roms, it has to be installed using a temporary cwm.
Just a curiosity: all newer roms are cyano based?

Yes, most gingerbread and up roms are usually bases on CM.
About the temporary cwm. Just flash it as a normal zip and you'd get temporary cwm2.5 , flash DK with that, after reboot you'll be back on your current cwm version.

Just a thing, I flash a sense rom, after that I wait gps fix and then I install cyano rom. But without wipe or format?
I ask that cause before I use Mtd partition procedure to have more free space, and without any format and wipe I can't do that.

No no... just wipe everything. And also the Dalvik cache. Then install the new ROM. After rebooting to your new ROM GPS would work.

Ehm .. dkmod roms failed to install cause "installation aborted", 4.6.2 and 4.7.
I tried joyOs but gps doesn't start. With Rempuzzle I have screen problems.
It seems I have to forget gps.
Flashing a radio requires at least 30mb on cache, so make sure you aren't using a custom mtd setup.
If its not the case, try flashing a 2.x permanent recovery and then flash the radio.

you got installation aborted msg with CWM 2?
Mate, then try CM6. its a froyo ROM. and can be flashed with any CWM version. and as I remember GPS works without any issues. get it from http://get.cm/?device=buzz
then try again my steps.
hope it'll work. Good luck

are you using custom mtd partitions?
if yes, there is an additional zip file to flash after flashing a new ROM.
I tried with higher mtd values but nothing, without mtd no problem, but without mtd this phone is useless for me.

If you have followed all the steps.correctly for custom mtd partitioning, it should work.
If it still fails, try link2sd, its an app. It moves apps to a separate partion in SDcard and saves internal storage.
But you have to partion your SDcard for that.
I suggest you should recheck if you followed all the steps correctly for mtd partioning. And remember to flash the bravo-boot.zip ( I don't remember the exact name) after flashing a ROM..

I'm sure I followed all the steps, but I'm gonna try again.
Further jellybread is now on (without mtd) but without gapps too and they're integrated in the rom.

Hi,
So i have a HTC Desire flashed to CM7r2 Hboot (just moved from stock) and i have tried flashing all possible custom roms from xda (BlissMod007, AceS, Starburst, RevolutioN Aurora, LeeDroid etc etc....) NONE of them work on my desire.. I checked my hboot...checked my root everthing is fine...i even have a 1GB ext partition on my card that the ROM's want...Majority of the ROM's are stuck on the lockscreen others freeze after some time ..
I really want to know whats wrong! I CANT live with the original froyo bc that gives me only 25mb of free internal memory.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!

So you flashed the CM7r2 HBOOT and used every rom but CM7? If those roms aren't designed to fit on the CM7 HBOOT you'll end up with half a rom flashed on there.
Did you wipe everything between flashes (including dalvik cache)?
Last thing, try flashing back to the stock HBOOT partition layout and see how that goes. Might've got a corrupted partition file (you should always an MD5 checker on stuff like this).
yes when i flashed the CM7 hboot i flashed the CM7 ROMs for which i wudnt get past the white screen with htc in green
and when i had the stock hboot the ROMs wud get flashed the first boot would go smooth (wud take some time obviously but thats normal right?)
and yes everytime i flashed i wiped everything including dalvik cache.
and i also dont understand what with the MD5 how is that important... because i completely ignored it before.
From your posts looks like you did not read the tutorials carefully.
EXT partition made correct?
What Recovery do you have?
What version did you download from the ROM?
MD5 Checksum is fine?
i had this problem aswell before so all i did was flash the alpha rev downgrader hboot then on the phone click on restart bootloader then just flash the cm7 hboot..
then just wipe everything and flash the rom ..
also some sense roms take up to 15 mins to boot and some of the sense roms resarts the fone three times so just wait for a maximum of 20 minutes
yes ext partition is correct i had a 2GB ext4 previously but then i read on the forums that not all ROMs were compatible with a ext4 so then changed it to a 1GB ext 3
Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whats this MD5 Checksum ?? How do i verify it ?
Also whats the alpha rev downgrader ? do you have to downgrade the hboot ?
Because i moved from CM7 to stock just by reflashing it and on my bootloader i saw the change just fine.
I have 10MB free internal memory WT*

Use Amon ra recovery. CMR didn't work for me either.
Is that true could it be CMR ??
And how do i get amon ra ? i got CMR by default like when i rooted using unrevoked.
If CWM 2.5.0.7 doesnt work at all, it may be because you have a PVT 4 erase size 40,000 device.
Not sure why my guide is one of the only guides that mentions this, but there you go.

Some people have trouble with clockworkmod. Normally they solve it by switching to another recovery so it may be the reason to what you are experiencing now.
To get AmonRa recovery, download AmonRa recovery here. Then plug your phone into the computer and use this utility to flash the recovery.

Actually, I think the test 2.0.1 is better (for SD-ext backup), which you can get here for a limited time only:

No mine is a pvt 3 atleast that's what it says in my bootloader
I think I'll try amon ra
Hey Guys,
So i flashed AmonRa and then flashed a ROM and it works fine so far.
Thanks alot will get back on how its performance is in the long run.
Thanks a lot
okay no as soon as i rebooted it got stuck on the lockscreen and froze....rebooted again same story....rebooted again same story done that about 5 times now
sorry false alarm its like the problem never went...back to the same old situation...
can someone please help me out..
also is there a way to go back to cmr ??
Try changing to a different kernel. It may be a problem with the kernel. What Rom are you using now?

Well I tried RevolutioN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300224 which worked for 30 mins before it froze
and then i tried ReflexS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
which worked for about 15 mins and then froze.
which kernel should I flash ? thats the only thing left to flash now
And now i have switched back to CMR as i had a CMR backup of the stock ROM.
So im running the stock ROM now.
Try snq 111005 or gingercakes 0.6d. They are the stablest kernels for sense roms for me. Use the search function to find the kernels.

im sorry but i cant find either of those kernels
i found gingercakes 0.8f and many other versions that were 0.8d/e/etc etc
can u post a link or something like that....also i dont know how to flash a kernel is it just like a rom zip thru clockworkmod ??

Can't help you with finding the kernels I'm afraid. But to flash one just do it through recovery like you would a rom. No need to do all the wipes, just wipe your dalvik cache before you flash it.
Ive got this message in cwm when was restoring (jj's hybrid for locked bootloader): no app2sd partition found, any ideas?
Locked Bootloader Arc S.
When i want to format sd-ext --> same message.

Bump
Prince
That means that CWM didn't find a second partition in your SD card used by Link2SD.
Is it working fine, JJ ROM?
Im just wondering if i can flash it with this 'error'.
Prince
I presume jj's rom has app2ext built in, but it shouldn't affect the rom. But check on the rom thread.

I was asking, but no1 replied.
Prince
It will work. That "error" is just a check if a sd partition exists to make use of. Wont affect sysyem if missing.

hints that migh be helpful to prevent trouble when flashing custom roms & kernels
hi there,
i'm not entirely sure if this will help you but generally speaking i came made a few observations about the fact that some people, mostly repeatingly the same users, encounter problems with their custom roms and/or flashing them, while others don't, albeit they are using the same devices.
i myself use 3 different devices, all rooted and running on pac 4.3, always latest nightly, as there are GT-N7100 - GT-I9100 - Nexus 4
not to the point
a) other than most other users i usually clean cache and dalvik cache as well before and after flashing the new rom and/or new nightly
and never encountrer any problems except those which everybody, using the same rom and nightly encounters.
b) whenever i flash an totally different rom and/or upgrade and/or downgrade to another level of android os, i.e. from 4.2.2 to 4.3, i perform
a clean install, including not only a factory reset, but as well a format sd-card, format cache and format system etc., again i cannot proof
which of these steps make a or the differnce but however, i never have problems others than thosw which everyone has with a version.
c) when using cusome kernels and due to the fact that some roms come with a kernel included, as well as with a custom recovery included,
it is strongly recommended not to forget to flas the kernel again after each flashing the new rom. one good example ist dorimanx kernel
for GT-I9100 which will not boot into recovery and reluctantly boot at all after a new flash of a pac nightly without reflashing the kernel.
d) try to fix permissions on reboot instead of doing it from recovery. one reason is that not every recovery has this option and further i
found that when fixing permissions before the first boot after flashing a new rom, there might be bootloops, albeit i cannot explain exactly
why that should, but however, sometimes it's better to be on the safe sid.
e) try to run whether the lastes version of custom recovery for your device, and or the use the included custom recovery of the rom or the
kernel. this again is one thing that can help to avoid some unexpected and hard to explain bootproblems and/or fc's etc.
hope that i could give you some new ideas how to avoid trouble while using custom roms and other hacks

You must use ICS kernel, either unlock bootloader and install custom ICS kernel, or first install/update to stock ICS and then follow the same method.

Masterchrome, have you tried to format all partitions (except SD)?
Sent from HTC UzDesireHD
If you have rooted the HD with AAHK ClockWorkMode Recovery is installed. You can use that way. First you can format the SD-card in the Advanced menu. Remove the SD-Card and connect it to the PC. Copy R4 and Gapps to the SD-card, and put the card in the Phone. Start CMR and flash both. I did it that way, no problems!
I've flashed 3-4 ROMs on my Dinc2. (Magnolia, IC Tazz, Skyraider, ViperINC). I've done the wipe cache/davlik/format before each flash. After testing each ROM, I decided on Magnolia, and did a full superduperwipe via Chillybean's AntiVenom. With each ROM flash I've noticed things being different and outright missing. For example, YouTube may or may not be there after flash.
Is this normal? I've tried formatting with ext3 and ext4, noticing no speed or function different... but could this have something to do with it?
I'm still sorta new at this flashing thing. If there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, I'm open to ALL suggestions.

Then you probably aren't doing a full wipe, assuming the rom isn't an aroma installed rom and you choose different features.
yes, they are Aroma installed, using EXT4 as my recovery. I'm talking about (specifically) Magnolia and ViperINC. I've noticed different apps being loaded with each flash. I use Chilly's AntiVenom wiper, then let the ROM do another wipe of it's own choosing. It's just weird, I thought I'd ask if anyone else ever had the same experience.

Hi Friend,
Best way to overcome this is to install Titanium Backup from play store and take a full backup of your apps+data and you can restore the same after flashing new rom.
Regarding youtube you can flash GAPPS from this link goo.im/gapps (install according to your android version)

I've been searching for a solution before writing my own post, for I'm aware there are probably many, many topics of people dealing with the same issue.
Well, here's is my problem.
I've got two wildfires A3333. Flashed CM 7.2.0 on both of them, successfully. GPS does work on only one of them. I've tried the GPS test on the other one. The compass is working, the localization is not.
So, as said before, I've googled for some solution for the other one, and here comes the temporary downgrading of CWM to 2.5.0.7 and then installing one of the following: buzz.radio-3.35.15.31-signed.zip, buzz.radio-3.35.20.10-signed.zip or buzz.radio-3.35.19.25-signed.zip that will be put on the SD.
Ok, everything is set up, let's reboot to recovery.
Now, the recovery screen is showing version 3.0.0.6 and I don't know if that's normal, since I've set it to 2.5.0.7 before rebooting. Won't mind for now.
Let's flash the zips. And all I get is this message, with all of the radios:
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Uhm, let's try by setting the option toggle signature verification to disabled.
Here's a different message:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
It seems that the 3.0.0.6 version shown on the main menu is kind of relevant... Should it show 2.5.0.7 instead of that? What now?
Thanks in advance.
After flashing the temporary CWM,it'll automatically boot into that CWM version. Now flash the radio with that.
And if you reboot you'll return to the CWM version you had before.

Yes, if by "flashing the temporary CWM" you mean entering the ROM manager, tapping on All ClockwordMod Recoveries, download the 2.5.0.7 version, let it install and tap Reboot into recovery, well that's exactly what I did. And the recovery screen is showing me this 3.0.0.6 version anyway, which is kind of suspicious to me.
I've already read the topic you linked, some days ago, but that means having to wipe the CM 7.2.0 and reinstall it later and I'm not sure whether I can backup the apps that are in the EXT partition since I'm using Link2SD. And honestly, I'm not even sure I'm able to make a good backup.

I wouldn't really recommend using ROM Manager, and what I meant by flashing was to flash the CWM zip with your current Clockworkmod recovery.
And also consider upgrading your recovery.
And about the guide, just make a nandroid backup with CWM, and restore it instead of flashing a new rom.
Hope this helps
I shall give a try to it all and let you know.
One last question before I proceed. In order to upgrade my recovery I'd have to download the latest CWM available for Buzz and install it the same way I'll do with v2.5.0.7 (of course, after that step), am I right?
Thanks!
Ok, I've installed the v2.5.0.7 via the install from .zip option and got to install the radios. Woo!!
No, hold back.
Now the GPS icon is showing up but GPStest doesn't detect any activity.
I've installed 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 first, then 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 and then 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25. Same result.
Now should I rely on plan B?
I've read of someone who got it working by installing the 3 radios in crescent order. Is it worth a try?

I shall give a try to it all and let you know.
One last question before I proceed. In order to upgrade my recovery I'd have to download the latest CWM available for Buzz and install it the same way I'll do with v2.5.0.7 (of course, after that step), am I right?
Thanks!

No, that'll only be temporary, as with 2.5.
Get the PC49IMG.zip file for that recovery, put it on the root of the SD, reboot to bootloader, it'll scan and will ask to install, select yes, you're done.
First GPS fix will take some time, maybe from 2-10 mins.
I've only flashed the .20.10 Radio. It worked for me...
Or if you have a sense rom or the backup of your stock rom, give the guide a try...
Try this radio file. link, worked for me under cwm 2.5.0.7

My fault, there's something I should make clear.
The radios I've been talking about before have been installed on the first Wildfire, the one I said the GPS was working (and in the meanwhile it proved to be untrue as I discovered the GPS icon has never showed up before flashing the radio). This one Wildfire has CWM 2.5.0.1, installed with Unrevoked. The second Wildfire (which I'd like to use as my usual phone) was rooted with PC49IMG as Unrevoked wouldn't work with it and is running CWM 3.0.0.6, which I've reported in the first post.
For now, let's discard the CWM 3.0.0.6 phone.
It is on the CWM 2.5.0.1 phone where I've temporarily installed 2.5.0.7 and flashed the radios. Could it be relevant?
(maybe I'd better update the CWM anyway)

Uhm, link is broken. My CWM 2.5.0.7 looks to be working properly anyway.
stick with 2.5.0.7 recovery and 20.10 radios, that worked for me using Navitel, as for file here.
Flashed Froyo 2.2.1 shipped ROM... and GPS didn't work on it either. Great.
I've restored my CM backup and found out all my link2SD linked apps to be screwed in return. Vanished. Link2SD says there's soooo much free space in that second partition... can't imagine when it's been formatted, but nevermind.

I've already got that radio version but tried to flash the one you've gently provided me, well, same as the other radios. Icon showing but no activity at all.
I give up.

Unlikely, it's been some days I'm testing the GPS on the phone. But I shall test it away from home to be sure.
I'm from Naples, (IT) by the way.

Not really sure if CWM matters or not, we use 2.5 to flash radios because the flashing script is different from currently used ones.
Ty upgrading anyway,
Are you sure it isn't a hardware fault. If GPS doesnt work in stock rom, it could possibly be a hardware issue...

Too weird it happens on both devices, even if... well them both have had a nice dive in the sea but GPS used to work before flashing the new ROMs on each phone.
Sure there's something not correct in my procedure but can't find it out.

Well, I'm sorry mate. unless its a hardware fault or something I'm not in the know of, there are no more solutions I can think of.
Behold! He's thinking back.
It just looks like it's not able to track many satellites. Well, at least that's a relief.

Indeed it is, atleast it wasn't a hardware issue
Well done mate...
P.S. :- I'd recommend using 'GPS status and Toolbox' app which is much better than GPStest.
