hi there every1 this is my 1st post, i been reading a lot and can't find a answer to my dilema.
I flashed a droid to boost mobile , was in metropcs with peter alfonso gp16 rom on it but when i went to get the phone flash the tech change the rom to cyanogen 6.1.2
i don't really like it at all, i like the stock thing(thanks to Peter alfonso) .
i try to update the rom to cyanogen latest and when i make a call says phone can't be validated.
i try gp16 and gp17 and the same thing , i even try the miui rom same thing.
when i restore the back up i did from the original the tech flashed it work perfect
i know it must be possible to change the rom w/o losing the validating thing
why a old rom works and the new one wont?
p.s. did the flashing also in a evo 4g and change rom to miui and no problem.

How did you flash it? What were the steps?
He is most likely using the autostart.sh method and losing his APN when he flashes a new ROM.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
So what is the next step ?
I have my droid flashed to metro pcs and the tech told me that it MAY mess up something when trying to root but he said since he had no hands on proof that he isnt positive.
but i do know that once the phone is rooted then flashed, you can switch to any rom without loosing you prl, esn, all that information.
but in my situation i would have to pay again to get it re flashed if anything does go wrong. so if anyones done this and was successful then let me knw how to and/or what to watch out for.
thanks

ok hey guys i was wondering, Once you root your phone and install a custom rom is there any way to go all the way back to the original rom and unroot? i also wanted to know how do we know if we need to update the radio? or does that only apply to gsm phones?

The search button is there, so I would use it.

Thats not ONLY for unrooting, but it has the steps there to get back to 100% stock and unroot.
As far as I know, there isn't really a way of knowing if you NEED to flash an updated radio, but there's no harm in trying the ones available, and seeing if you notice any difference in them.
thanks. and yea your right i blanked out about the search bar. lol ok but about the radio, i can update it and everything will be fine?
Before updating your radio make sure it's for CDMA and not GSM. Before I knew what I was doing with my phone I applied a GSM radio update and bricked my phone.
If you are running a 1.5 based ROM there really isn't a need to update the radio.
does that also count if im going to install the pancake 2.1 rom?
pankcake 2.1 is a 2.1 ROM. Check the Baseband version under Setting->About Phone->Software Information to see what version you are running after you flash pancake 2.1. If you would like to upgrade check out "Radios" section on the CDMA Hero ROMs at
wiki . xda-developers . com / index . php ? pagename = CDMA %20 Hero %20 ROMs
(Had to split up URL since I'm a noob user on the forum.)
geekfor . me also has a nice radio section.
And as flipz states
Different radios work differently depending on where you are in the country. You may actually get better performance out of another radio. Test them out.

oh wow. different radios =better signal! how cool! i am really worried about bricking my phone. I need my phone and i really want to but im scared. im trying to learn all i can befor i do it. can you un brick?

You can't unbrick all you can do is replace. I was able to get a replacement phone when I bricked my phone by applying a GSM radio update by mistake.
If you apply a CDMA radio update from the Radios section on the CDMA Hero ROMs wiki page then you should be good. Follow the instructions on the Geek For Me FAQ. Flipz knows his stuff.
As with any update I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you apply it just in case the update has undesired affects.
I'm currently running 2.42.00.03.10 on Fresh 2.0d with no issue.
Good luck!
Hi guys,
first of all, congratulations for this excellent forum, it's awesome!
now, i have a milestonte with Cyanogen RC5. It's fantastic ROM, but i have problems with the 3g network. I think it may be a hardware problem. Is there any way to restore the original state?? It`s possible to completely erase the G.O.T Open Recovery and load an Official ROM to send my phone to the Motorola's Support wihtout any trace of Modified ROM??
My original ROM was 2.1 Orange for Spain. I read that this ROM it's an Official Unlock ROM of Motorola.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @konax;
Just download the SBF for your Operator here: and-developers.com/sbf:milestone and apply it with RSDLite.
ps.: problems with 3G using the CyanogenMod maybe is caused by a wrong radio. You can change it using GOT OR or Androidiani OR, last one is recommended by @nadlabak

Hi Guys,
i get yesterday my 2X, im very happy for this device, i come from a galaxy s and i feel reborn!!!!!!
This is my question:

We know here http://www.optimus2x.net/index.php?topic=393.0 we have all firmware but i cant found the procedure to flah it
I really like modding every my device, is so funny, but before do it, i wanna be safe to make it safely, and if come some problems would like can fix it flashing original firmware..
Someone can post how to flash the original firmware??
Thanks
Ps. I say sorry if i have wrong section, or procedure is just posted , but im not very clever with english language, but i try to do it, i have searched this procedure but i do not have found it..
Sorry for bad English
Again Thanks
Morning, this is not possible yet as Paul over at modaco is yet to release CWM recovery so not ROM flashing is possible. He said it would be released in Beta form.today at sometime so wait and see what that brings to the table.... in the meantime head over to the 2x section at Modaco to keep up with the progress!

Hi, thanks for reply
Its a little bit strange it, because for example in other android device, like Galaxy S, you dont need a clockwork recovery to flash the stock original firmware, you need it only for to flash a cooked... you need only to put in download mode and after you can flash a stock firmware without clockwork recovery
Anyway again thanks for reply
So I got my phone last December and within a month, had it rooted - mainly to get rid of bloatware. I was using Cognition ROM at first, but then a guy at an ATT authorized retailer showed me a different rom that unlocked HSPA. The ROM that he gave me, which I later installed using ROM manager has the filename: KILLER23D+XXJPUDoc_V4.0_wipe. Has there been an update to this ROM? I love everything about it and am also wondering if there are any ROMs that are any better than this? I'm still pretty new at using the xda website and forums...
I like to tinker around, but am still afraid of bricking my phone. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys for all the hard work you all do.
p.s. I noticed my phone now thinks it is the Galaxy S GT-I9000... so would I download new ROMs for that phone or the Captivate?
Killer23d's out off date. it hasn't been updated since 11th December 2010. Their are many great 2.2 and 2.3 roms in the development section. Take a look around , you should be able to find one that is to your pleasing. Read the authors instructions and be sure you understand them before you flash anything
Be sure to read the Stickies they tell you about installing rom and other good stuff that you should know. And search around if you have any questions before you post, cause it might have been already answered.
And if you have a captivate you download captivate roms
good luck
I guess I really want to know which ROM is most like official 2.2 or 2.3? I definitely want to make sure I can still install unknown apps, and have the stock alarm clock on the phone because I use the alarm all the time and I don't want to have to download another one from the market. Do you have any preferences on ROMs that would do all this?
I also am a little confused on the ODIN stuff. Since I'm already rooted and using ROM Manager to flash ROMs, do I always need to flash ODIN before installing a new ROM? I read on here somewhere that the author metioned something about that, but how it was worded was a little confusing
I don't refer roms to people it is all personal choice. All roms can install off market apps
for roms in general* http:////forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
*2.3 roms need gb bootloaders

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.
