When flashing Roms.....

Do you flash hard-spl at that time too, if the new ROM needs hard-spl? Or do you flash hard-spl ahead of the ROM flash? Sorry the the dumb question, but I have searched and either did not use the correct terms or just didn't seem to find the info. By the info that I have read, it would seem that you would flash hard-spl and then go about flashing ROMs. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, I think I have seen some mentioning of SD cards during the flash. Should I remove any SD card from the phone before flashing?
Thanks

Nevermind....After reading iPhone iWing's post a dozen times....I got it.

best spl and how to flash

i dont kno if this question has been posted it probably has but i cant find it
which is the best spl for me i like flashing many custom roms like kings 2.1 and other stuff
i guess i would prefer speed
and giv me a link plz thanks much

This is what you will use. It is completely safe if you follow those instructions. Don't let the name scare you.

Death SPL will give you the best compatibility with any ROM and the only thing you have to be careful of is DON'T flash an old radio or anything that includes an old radio (RC29, etc.). Other than that, it's good to go.

Downgrade radio from ERE36B to ERE27

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/
There are several files in there and I'm not really sure which one is the one I'm looking for. Obviously, I'm not going to take such a risk having a great community of people who know what they're talking about.
So, if I have ERE36B and want to downgrade to ERE27, is this the correct file I have to flash? The thing is I'm not sure because I'm reading all this "update version" stuff everywhere and I'm now pretty confused. I'd appreciate someone's 10 seconds to check it out for me. You'll understand I don't want to mess up with radio stuff if it can brick my phone. Thanks
ERE27 / 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2 radio - update zip format
The update includes the Radio ROM shipped with ERE27, again as an update zip. It carries version number 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2. NOTE: This has been superceded by a new radio shipped with ERE36B.

I try to flash radios as least possible,you could brick your phone,anyways I found the new radio to be better, but I guessed is a personal preference. But yes just flash the zip and wait, wait, wait.

I'm experiencing low performance in all radio-related aspects and want to try to downgrade to see what happens. If it doesn't help I'll upgrade again. I just want to make sure that's the correct file to flash.

Yes, that is the downgrade. I did the same thing... im still wondering if this radio works better or not...and im not ready to try the newest one out yet.

[Q] What is a Radio?

Ok, so this is a newb question so bare with me, i just rooted my phone and installed CM 6 only an hour ago (hurray). But I dont know what a radio flash is or how to handle them? Can anyone help me out, please dont yell at me for not searching, imagine how many thread with the word "radio" would pop up.
-Cheers and thanks

its what gives you the signal on your phone, usually improves signal or gives a feature of some sort.. some rom NEED the new radio update if there is one
simple as i can tell you without gettin all techy nechy

how do you install one? do you just do an update.zip recovery install?

forgot to mention that part, if there is a new Radio out for your phone usually a Dev, will pull it out of a OTA update , and make a update.zip already, and all you have to do is into recovery and flash it over... and some stock roms will push out a radio-ota(rare i belieive) but thats it.. so for froyo radio Cyanogen has a updatezip for froyo radio, you can grab it place it in sdcard then boot into recovery and flash! wa-la got new radio, i also believe you can flash via Fastboot too

Thanks man, i currently have CM6 installed and some other Roms in the Dev section, that i was looking at testing, say you gotta install a radio, so thanks for the help.

Can I flash 910V with 910A firmware?

Please only people in the know who actually know not just who heard from some guy that you cant do that. I have a 935v that Ive flashed to 935t 935u 935a and I can not for the life of me find an answer online about if I can flash another carriers firmware like we can with certain other galaxy devices or if I need to do anything first in order to be able to. The bootloader is locked on the 935v so I dont see why a locked bootloaer would mean on one phone you can and another you can not which seems to be some folks reasoning why you can not but there is always people saying you can so any info for sure would be much appreciated. Like I said Im just trying to flash stock 910A on stock 910V. Thank you and if this is the wrong forum please move it and I apologize.

No this can't be done every ROM is specific for its model unless someone modified it.
