Was wondering after flashing a new rom, do I have to flash radios?

no you don't if your mobile data is working fine. Some rom devs suggest a radio that you should use but it is not needed if all is working
If you're flashing to a different release of Andriod, then yes. For example from 2.2 to 2.3.
I had a Froyo based Rom and flashed to a Gingerbread based, and my phone function didn't work until I flashed a new radio.

Also, for AOSP roms, I believe it's been said that you don't need to change the radios as it won't give better signals or anything. There's some posts around if you go digging to find the answer.
I believe it's only necessary to flash radios for Sense roms.

If everything is working fine then you don't need to. Devs suggest you flash a new radio because they have tested their ROM to work best with a particular radio again not really required if all is working ok for you.

After Gingerbread, will Sprint users be able to install custom ROMs that are currently available? Seems like I read someone was working on CM7 also.

I thought that "roms" also had whatever version of the os that it was based on in the rom. Am I getting this confused with the kernel?
Say you take a stock rom and add and subtract and tweak everything to your liking. How it's done I don't know but you make that into a flashable zip and there's your rom.
You would need to root again because you will lose that with the update. Unless you have root, you cant install custom roms.

I knew that, but I'm just not sure if I'm stuck on stock Gingerbread or still able to load a custom ROM that's currently available (without doing the EA24 flash)

Hello everyone,
I have an HTC Incredible S from Bell, and a couple weeks ago i upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread. A few days after that the late SMS problem started to happen. So i rooted my phone to try different roms, nope didn't work. So then I tried a ICS rom and that fixed the problem BUT the camera was messed up and some games(such as Zombieville) didn't work? So now I'm stuck...
You could try flashing a different radio to see if that helps your issue? And ICS camera are not working in any ICS rom.

Ok ill try flashing a different radio in a bit, but on one of the ICS roms it works... its the "Virtuous Quattro"
If it works then why not just stay on that rom? But a new radio should help always helped any issues I had.

Well the pictures glitch out at the top, and what type of radio do you recommend?
You need a GB rom if your now running GB. I had no issues with radio 28. There's a topic a few down with somebody requesting a link for it. Just go there and download it.
Or for the latest I believe which is 29. Go into the dev section. All radios are also posted in the dev section in a sticky topic.

No matter what I do I can't get Spotify mobile app to work. I've had to use the GB version of the app, which I never minded until they added the radio feature. I've tried it on ICS roms and JB roms, both to no avail. I was wondering if anybody had similar issues or even a fix to allow the new ICS-friendly versions of Spotify to work correctly on a Cappy. If so, what steps do I need to take to make me smile again?

I'm running Paranoid Android v1.9.2a with Semaphore's JB kernel.
Has it worked for you on ICS as well? If so, which ROM?
My wife and I both own raiders, originally from rogers..I s-offed both phones and we've been running the dark raider rom since about version 1.2 with no problems..still using wcx recovery as I haven't had any issues with it.
Our friend liked our phones enough to jump ship from blackberry and went and got a used bell raider running official ics. I unlocked his bootloader successfully, s-off worked like a charm, but here it gets weird.
It boot loops after trying to install ANY custom rom..! I tried 3 different recoveries, all of which failed on kernel install.. tried the old way and fastboot flashed the boot.img and still got boot loops or crash to recovery..I'm not new to these procedures..even had hyuh from juopunutbear irc remote in and try his hand at it with the same results.
I restored from bell ics ruu - phone boots normally. What gives? Did bell modify the hardware??

My buddy has the Rogers Raider (and I have the Bell) and I've done the root/s-off etc. on both of them and there was no difference in workflow needed.
BUT - I think you may have to flash an "insecure" kernel just once to allow your recovery to successfully flash kernels during the ROM install.
Below is the thread where you can download kozmikkick's insecure (aka "stockish") kernel. It's mentioned in the first post of the thread below. Give that kernel a flash (It looks like it is in a ZIP format that you can install via your ClockWorkMod recovery?) then try to flash your desired kernel. If you want to flash the stockish kernel manually, look inside the zip. There is a "holiday.img" file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572015
Also - Not sure if this matters, but I have been using ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4 recovery and I have been able to flash many roms (and their respective kernels during the rom install)
Good luck!
So, since he's already s-off now and whatnot I can flash the "stockish" kernel you mentioned on his stock rom? Or will I have to try flashing a custom rom along with it? And if so, coming from Bell do you have any rom recommendations? I'm a fan of the dark raider rom personally.

Sorry bout the link.
I'm not sure if it will work with stock... my assumption would be yes because its called "stockish"... but I dont know. I say wait until you're ready to flash a custom rom before you try it. So - flash the stockish kernel (i prefer via fastboot), then reboot right into recovery, then flash rom... and see if it all went ok?
You have the stock Bell RUU, so if anything goes wrong, you can fall back on that.
Right now I'm on the Pure Velocity rom... loving it.
Omg..ok tried the method u posted with kozmik "stockish"..but got looped at boot... But the rom I was installing had an option to install an unsecured at&t stock boot image and that, of all things, did the trick. What u said made me think to try it.

So... after you got that going, were you then able to flash a rom with a custom kernel (all in one shot?)
Yes. After flashing the kozmik "stockish" kernel, then the custom rom, booting and getting as far as "android is upgrading" before boot looping I figured why not flash the entire thing again this time with the proper kernel and it went perfectly. I was using cwm5.5.0.4 for the record..which I'm told is still the best. My friend was happy, and I was just glad it worked this time..I was so confused why the Bell version wouldn't take the software..!
As always, I found the answer right here on XDA. Thanks again!

Happy romming
I tried to search and did not come up with the information I was looking for, but I was wondering what would be entailed in getting WiFi and vibration to work with the att note i717 ROMs. I flashed aocp the collective from the i717 by replacing boot.img and everything seemed fine except WiFi and vibration.
I tried replacing dhd.ko and vibrator.ko with ones from a T-Mobile ROM but that did nothing. Also if anyone has gotten those things to work what was done? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So i doubt we'll get a response but it this possible? I;m about ready to dump this phone and just take the hit and leave tmobile. I have never had as much issue with a phone just getting a stable release. Between terrible coverage to random restarts this phone is just coming off as what i expected from samsung.
It definitely seems like its a kernel issue, I think I'm gonna post a question over in the i717 forum, hopefully get a response. Some of those guys are using t879 ROMs and I wonder if they had similar issues with the WiFi and vibration? I haven't been able to dig anything up. I'm in the process of unpacking the kernel, I'm gonna try a few things and see if I can get this to work. Setting up the environment is taking a while.

Alright, I have finally got WIFI to work with i717 ROMS, now im just working on getting the vibration working. should be able to have that working here in a just a short while. afterwards i will do a write up for those that want to try it. definitely will give people more options for flashing roms.
The only rom i have tested with so far is the latest version of paranoid 2.56 for the i717, will try this method with others after i get vibration going. Other than those two things i have not noticed any other problems with flashing i717 ROMS.
Nice, well I have a device to test and break stuff on. I've given up on what we currently have available because everything I've tested in the last month just turns to **** after a week.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T-879 using Tapatalk 2
wifi and vibration are now working. I posted a thread in the development section. The fix is bundled into a flash-able zip file for flashing in recovery!
Will this work on tw based roms?
The only thing you should have to do is pull the boot.img and replace with a boot.img from a T-Mobile tw based ROM. I tried doing just that on black star over in the i717 forum and it worked fine, I ran it for a few hours before switching back to jelly bean and I didn't notice any problems with the ROM.

Our roms can be flashed back and forth. Just be rooted, have the latest twrp and flash the rom of your choice. Than flash the blaze ics modem.
