Hello,
I'm running the latest stable version of cyanogen 5.0.7, which is the last, i think.
And i'm having trouble with my APN settings. I want to perform a clean wipe and revert to a google ROM to see if I can get the APN settings to work on my G1 with that. Is this possible without actually breaking the phone?
I don't think it'd be downgrading as the latest Google ROM is 2.2 and 5.0.7 comes up as 2.1 on my phone.
If it's safe, could someone tell me how?
from what i understand u basically wanna go back stock so if thats then heres a link
although its been a min since i did it this way but hope this helps
thanks for the reply.
according to this page, G1 only supports up to Android 1.6 in its official form?

You know, there might have been an actual REASON why you installed a cyanogen rom.... and it was probably because of the fact that HTC DREAM only has official images to 1.6!
Unless you were just installing cyanogen rom to make life difficult....?
how could installing cyanogenmod make life difficult when it has so many cool features. I can't even remember if android was even past a 1.6 release when i started using cyanogen. what was the point of your reply?
either way, i can't remember the reason why i installed cyanogen. could have just been purely for the sake of modding.
Hi,
I recently switched from a Xperia X10 to the Nexus One due to the lack of update from Sony Ericsson.
We can't unlock the bootloader the X10 so even if I flashed a lot of custom rom and root ect... It's my first time with kernels ect...
So I was wondering on how the kernel is important and if I well understood, he is the one that will put the driver for the hardware as it's the one that can increase audio and put 720p ect..
And I also see a lots of threads about radios ect... I totally understood how to flash it ect.. but what is it exactly ? Is it like a better frequence for your antenna or ??
I'm currently running kernel version : [email protected] and baseband version : 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2 and I have Passion Recovery.
Could you please indicate me a good combo of kernel/radio/rom that would give me 720p, running at least Froyo or Gingerbread (for flash) and that is stable with a good linpack/quadrant score.
Thanks in advance,
Zyryck
Simplest thing for you, CyanogenMod 6. It is FroYo, has the audio mod and 720p camera kernel. And you should already have the best Radio.
There is no reason to really mix and match stuff at all. The state of the development scene isn't that way anymore.
Some people do fiddle with kernels and Korean radios and such, but they do it because they like doing that sort of thing, not because they have to.
90% do not have to worry about those things. Install CyanogenMod 6 or some of the other popular mods in the development section and you should be happy.
Don't worry about the individual parts until you get used to things, and even then it won't be needed, just a hobby.
Ok thank you it is certainly what I'll take. But Cyan 6 or 6.1 ?
But I still don't know why Radios stand for.
And yes I'm one of those Guys that will flash to another roms every 2 Days but since Nexus S and new Phones are out I know Devs are leaving Nexus One so that's why I was asking forr a fast and a stable one.
So I'd just like to know what's the Radio ?
The radio is hardware/software that deals with the communications side of your phone. GPRS/HSDPA/WiFi etc.
That's what I was thinking about but then what are the differences between a radio on an other one ? Are there some faster than others ?
Plus Radios are generic ? It doesn't depend from your Carrier or Country

If you're go to run Froyo you'll be required to update your radio to 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08.

Well I'm running 2.2.1 with 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2.
Should I update it to the one you said because I don't see anything going wrong. Except perhaps that when I connect to internet without Wifi it's written 2G but when I had my X10 it was either 3G or H so I don't know if it is related or not since I've only been able to connect to 2G with the Nexus even when it was not rooted and flashed to any rom, radio or kernel
Wild monks have pretty good kernels but I have no idea about what radio to choose cuz theres literally a lot of them. I just get really confused with them and
Still looking for a good radio tho.lol. But cyan mod is freaking awesome. Combined with inexus theme and it's the best ui interface I can find. plus I have swype too so I'm not going to give up my nexus any time soon until tegra 2 phones arrive
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm gonna wait before putting my hands on the Atrix and other tegra 2 phones because I want to see if there won't be any problem with the bootloader ect... Because getting stuck with a device that can't get bl unlocked is very very frustrating.

That's actually not true.
There's no need to be messing with your radio unless you are having a specific problem. If your custom ROM requires a certain Radio to work, it will probably be included in the package anyway.
Flashing custom ROMS is almost completely safe but flashing Radios can lead to a bricked device in short-order.
I am looking for stock 2.1 to put back on a Hero so that it can be programmed for a new user. (it currently has Fresh, and the programming - ##3282# does not work!)
So where can I find a flashable (not the RUU) 2.1?
Thanks for any help you can provide - a link would be great!
Look for liquid sense or nifinity stock based roms it's like 3 or 4 of them or look for the engery rom by pmgrands all of these are all sense based roms you can find in the hero/dev forum. Good luck
Yea it's Me Again With the
Modified Hero
Thanks - the problem is that Fresh is Sense-based too, and the ##3282# programming does not work on it.
Do you know is this works with the above mentioned ROMs?
Thx again.
Why don't you just run the RUU, activate the phone, and then root it again? Don't take it the wrong way, it's just a suggestion. I know I had a heck of a time trying to root my phone for the first time, but now that I have done it, I don't think I would have any problems doing it over again.

Should work with no problem is what I wanna say but the only way to make sure is to flash them for yourself. They should work though as they are newer builds. Good luck

You don't even have to unroot to activate the phone. Just flash any Sense rom and call Sprint. Cake and pie.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
The problem is that the person with the phone is a newbie, and RUU is not working for some reason. Anyway I talked them through flashing the NFX-Sprint ROM so they got the damn thing programmed, and now they are back to Fresh.
(and to respond to laie1472, as I said above, the issue was that not every Sense ROM allows the programming, thus the question as to which work and whick do not...)
Thanks one and all.
So I used to have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, that was simple because there were a billion custom roms for the one phone.
I recently got a Telstra HTC Velocity 4G, and now apparently it's called three different things in different parts of the world? Not only that, but some have 1.2Ghz processors and some 1.5Ghz?
Anyways my question is, can I flash any Vivid/Raider roms and it would still work? Or is this not the case? If not, where would I be able to find custom roms for my phone (if there are any)?
Thanks in advance, I am only a HTC noob at the moment. I sorta miss being able to play with CM9 on my SGS2 haha.

You can flash ANY region's ROMs without a hitch. I have an American device, and have been on the Aussie stock ROM ever since it came out.

have a same problem with u ratweh, i'v HTC Raider 4G LTE x710e.
very confused bout why they give different name on different region...LOL, but, AFAIK, after asking this forum contributor, they said, we can flash Custom ROM provide for VIVID on VELOCITY / RAIDER and vice versa without worry ,
except ICS rom and official RUU off course

Thanks guys!
So even with the different CPU's and all it'll still be sweet?
What about modems? do I have to keep the stock Telstra one handy so I can re-flash it after every rom?
The CPU's are actually identical, they have different serial numbers to indicate the different modems, one has an internal modem on the chipset, the other has a modem attached elsewhere, the same drivers and such work for both so the difference is ignorable, the Vivid and Raider are underclocked to 1.2 by default however to save battery and for some reason the Velcity isn't perhaps for marketing reasons as its name "Velocity" would be stupid on a phone that is underclocked.
the ICS differences relate to something called the HBOOT, this is different for each device, but once your device has the ICS HBOOT it is perfectly fine to then flash any VIVID/RAIDER/VELOCITY rom on any device by first fastboot flashing the boot.img then flashing the rom .zip via recovery, this is a 2 step process so far because we don't have S-OFF... yet.
I have a HTC Velocity and have gone through pretty much all of the GB/ICS flashing scenarios and provided you read the instructions properly, which I have, I have not had any issues flashing the telstra roms, the at&t roms, the rum raider roms or what I am using now PirateGhosts RumFloat Beta4, which is no longer hosted on XDA due to a falling out, but google it and you can find it pretty easily, I will probably stick with RumFloat until CM9/MIUI is available.
PM me with any questions specifically about the Velocity and I can help you out mate

Woah haha thanks so much! That's exactly what i needed to hear!
Thanks heaps!
OK that's a lot of information i was looking for too!
I have to flash the Stock Telstra ICS (because I have Telstra Velocity) first. So i'll get the right HBOOT for my phone. After i can flash ICS of any other version except RUUs or OTA's because i could get the wrong HBOOT then?!
But there are still two things i'm wondering about:
1. What about the Radio Roms? Are they not different for every version? Or ist it just that they are not included in the Custom Roms?
2. What is if i want to go back to a GB Rom? Do i have to flash a GB RUU first to get the HBOOT back?

NP, good additional questions though, I installed the Telstra ICS HBOOT by re-locking the bootloader on my phone (because it was already rooted on GB) and then installing the telstra GB rom, then I upgraded to the Telstra ICS rom via the standard method from Telstra, then I re-unlocked the phone and re-flashed recovery and then I was ok for other ROM's, there's lots of ways to do it but this way is probably the most reliable.
other thing 1: there are no different Radio's yet, and we cannot flash them until we have "S-OFF" there are some private beta programs in the works to get S-OFF but until that is public we cannot adjust the firmware or radio, and even if we could there is no radio update available at this stage anyway.
Other thing 2: to go back to a GB rom, I would recommend relocking the bootloader and installing the GB RUU then going through the unlock/recovery installation again just to be safe, though I think you can just flash the GB HBOOT I'm not 100% on that method.
Hey, do you mean there are no separate Radio Roms to flash? Because i saw at the Stock Rom Collection that there are different Radio Roms included, aren't they?
I saw also that you are on the Rum Float Rom, can you tell me if there are any other languages included?
RumFloat B4 appears to support English, Spanish (Espanol) and French (Francais), I believe it uses the at&t rom as a base.
The radio's in the stock rom's are only flashable because they are part of an official secured ruu, without S-off they are useless to phones that are not from that telco.

Good post, I'm currently using my spare HTC Flyer because I've got my completely wiped Velocity only with Bootloader and Recovery on it at the moment. Still deciding what to load and wondering if other ROM's from other phones will work.
Also does my head in that it's called 3 different things in different parts of the world. One thing I'm sure of that I hate the Telstra stock rom and I think the name "Velocity" refers to how fast the battery is drained when in use
Will keep an eye on this thread and looks like I might give the RumFloat image a go...
ROM support
Yeah hi, I flashed my Velocity 4G with Leigh's Nightly build 4 and it works great beside that it has no keyboard installed..
Wondering where the custom ROM are hiding and the stock Telstra ROM, cos i can only make calls on it atm, :/ fancy that a phone that can only make calls,, haha.. seriously I kinda need the links please,, (at least its not bricked, Pheww)
UPDATE..
I tried the Stock ROM again,, it also failed,, so I factory reset thru HBOOT and low n Behold the V2 wallpaper popped up and viola, keyboard works and the Build4 ROM works like a treat.. I love the smoothness and the goodies Leigh has included.. Adblock fo1.
probably a good idea to include this in the noob files. :/
Hi,
I have 2 year old Razr-M on Verizon. It's been a faithful phone for a long time.
Ages ago, I rooted the phone, installed Clockwork, and Cyanogen. Not thrilled with Cyanogen's performance, I switched to OSE back in November.
At some point in my experimenting, I flashed a new radio to the phone, but don't remember which.
The phone has been reasonably stable, but still hangs/crashes once or twice a week.
Now, I'd like to clean things up.
Get the best radio that allows for international bands, GSM and, GPS
Install a STABLE ROM
Update/Install latest most stable bootloader
With so many packages and options here, I don't really know where to start. (OSE, Pacman, ???)
Can anyone suggest a clear, stable setup for both radio and ROM?
(Note: I travel internationally *A Lot*, so need to make sure all the different bands stay enabled.)
Thanks!!
Should add that I don't care about pretty graphics or extra features. Just want solid, stable, functional.
Well the most stable is going to be stock/stock based roms. Maybe try out rage m on the jb bootloader or root stock kk and start removing bloat
Tapatalk'n it from my XT907 (MoKee 4.4.4) on Page Plus Cellular.
Cool,
And what about the radio? Any suggestions?
I don't think there's much options for radio. Ics/jb radios work on JB bootloader roms kk bootloader roms are limited to only the kk radio
