Just flashed my N1 with C6 RC3 and google addon last night. I hear there is a new radio you can flash to get better signal and faster speeds? Could somebody clarify for me please, im still just learning all the rooting stuff.
Also how could I go about flashing the new radio? Is it to late since I already flashed Cyangen? Do I have to wipe again?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Artemis
USE the search before you ask. If you did it has been discussed many times.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to ask some questions. Sorry for making a new thread for this but I didn't know how to draw some attention
First of all, I'm currently running JFv1.42 RC33 on a US G1. Now on with the questions:
1) Wiping the phone: what data is actually lost in this process? Will the new build run smoother with a wipe prior to flashing?
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

yes most builds will run faster after a flash, it gets rid of everything on the phone.. kinda like the opposite of installing new os... you just erase everything and make the OS new again. When you update builds from the same person you can just flash.. if going to different build you must wipe. The first time you update and root and all that jazz i would DEF wipe.. ( i treat it like going potty, i wipe everytime!!)
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
I cant be too sure but all the latest roms have a poop ton of locales.. is that there for fact i dont know...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
I heard that if you have atleast a class 6 card you will have more benifit than problems.. i have class 4 now so my experience is limited to just reading..
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
Well if you research the procedure on how to root/flash a g1, you will see that there is a hardspl that needs to be updated so you can infact REMOVE these contraints that DO exist.. so you dont ACCIDENTALLY flash the wrong thing.. now with this on your phone.. you can flash ANY rom from ANY area and it SHOULD work...
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
if you update.. then it should be there.. if you wipe then no... go back to question 1 to see when or not to wipe...
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

Seriously though you can search most this.. i only responded cause 1 im bored at work.. and 2.. there are a few people I know that dont know how to search.... so if you are one of them.. i figured id help.......
hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..
It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.
Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck
HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.
ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.
ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,
I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.

BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.
wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.
Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.

Not Sure Which One I Have. I Think So Far i have counted 3 Different Radios. Does anyone know which one is the latest/stable radio and also where to get it? I Tried searching but didnt find it.
Thanks.
ERE 72 is the stock one that came with phone.
ERE 27 is the update 1

CM 5.0.2 (I don't recall when the change happened over to 36B but I know for a fact that 5.0.2 was based on it as I just moved from that to 5.0.4.1) was based on 36B. So all roms following until a newer software update happens...

The jury's still out on whether it's better. I haven't heard definitive evidence that it's better with 3G or anything, and I assume there's a reason it hasn't been released OTA yet, so I'm sticking with ERE27.
Noob question but what's this radio being discussed?
I mean is it for music radio or for signal reception and how do I upgrade mine on my stock N1?

The radio is for network connectivity..or as you put it "signal reception". If you got the OTA update to 2.1-update1, then you have the latest "official" Radio. I wouldn't bother flashing the unreleased version as there's zero benefit and, as I said earlier, there's probably a reason why HTC/Google didn't release it OTA.
Also, since you're admittedly a noob... I would make sure you research a lot about flashing Radio's prior to even starting the process. A guy just bricked his phone trying to flash to the unreleased Radio because he was in your position..don't be stupid.
I respect uansari1 but on this point I've got to chime in.
I've been running the stock ROM, flashed the OTA ERE27 update and had worse performance from my radio and data connection. More times then not I found the N1 sitting in Edge and even GPRS mode.
So.... I unlocked the bootloader (voiding my warranty), loaded RA's recovery image, ran nandriod and did a backup, rooted the phone and loaded the new radio rom. Post #21 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632282&page=3
Since then I've noticed the phone staying in 3G way more than before and even better battery performance.
Still using the stock ROM.
As with any flashing READ READ READ and understand what's happening before you decide to jump into the deep end.....
duplicate post - my bad. Removed.
Hi all,
Sorry for NOOB question here but not really got time to trawl through all the threads if it already been answered somewhere..
Am i ok to flash the radio after the rom i read some instructions which said to do the radio first but i have already flashed a desire rom and want to try a different radio.
Also what exactly is the difference in the radio version? i;m assuming potentially better call quiality or signal strength and is there any way to tell which radio version i currently have?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everybody,
Sorry I would post a reply in the actual thread here but they said I need at least 10 posts to post there, and I'm not an active poster though I do use the forums a lot to clear up my doubts. I've tried searching for this problem elsewhere but there is only so much I can gather from browsing forums.. Any help is appreciated!
I just installed the newest version of EnergyROM (4th July) and my Wifi in my power settings shows "Error". I used the 21st Feb version of EnergyROM previously before flashing "Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL V 5.0 Final". Wifi was working without any issues on both but when I installed the new one it showed an Error..
I found a solution but it was for the Amaze 4G and I couldn't find an equivalent solution, so I'd appreciate if someone can help me as I have a limited data plan and use wifi at my workplace and when I'm home.
Thank you

I tried installing a new kernel, 2.6.35.14-UNITY-V10-gf17016b.zip but apparently it's the same version yet it was supposed to fix the wifi problem.. Any help please?
am guessing you've flashed the wrong kernel and/or not done it correctly.
do a clean wipe, install energy rom, download the kernel as suggested in the energy rom thread & flash it..
should work..
i don't think this is necessary but you can also try an app called wi-fi fix (or wifix or something like that)
thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
I've actually tried flashing the ROM again but it didn't work; and for my kernel that I flashed, I found that I was actually flashing the same kernel that came together with the ROM..
I've tried several Wifi Fix apps but none has worked.. Attached is a screenshot of the Error.
