Is there a way to update my radio, etc. To the version in the new leak without installing the whole thing? I'm currently on the latest AOKP for ICS leak in safe mode.
Is this even a good idea to do?
Thanks

I should be on the ICS kernel I think, I had the .212 leak installed before I put on safestrap and AOKP

radio can be flashed easily using moto-fastboot flash radio bp.img
Thanks!

Isn't LTE.img the radios? You'd figure they were but I could be wrong.

It seems like LTE.img is the radio too, but other(?) ?
Anyway, you can edit CWM script from OTA and flash lte.img by
ui_print("updating LTE ...");
assert(package_extract_file("lte.img", "/tmp/lte.img"));
assert(motorola.motoflash("/tmp/lte.img"));
delete("/tmp/lte.img");
I played around with flashing radios because the old radio worked better for me and it really is glitchy. You're going to want to wait until the devs have a better solution, I think.

Was wondering after flashing a new rom, do I have to flash radios?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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.
Sorry to bother you guys. I dont have the d4. My buddy does. Can't seem to flash a Rom. New to safe strap.
He is on an old moto update. 2.3 build. He put safe strap v1 on his phone and tried to flash a few roms. Can't get any to boot.
Is this due to the recovery? I told him try the ics recovery. Dont know if he should. He installed the gb version cuz he is on gb.
Any input is appreciated.

I am guessing this is because all of the newer ROM builds are built to run off of the stock ICS kernel. Since he is still on GB (and thus running a GB kernel) the current ROMs are not going to work. I would suggest he fastboot ICS so he is on the most current stock build, install safestrap 3.05 and go from there.

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.

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.

I suggest using the 21D baseband. 20P isn't stable with CM10.
i'm sorry, how do i flash 20p to 21d? i already flashed it to latest stock rom?
This link can be used for flashing different firmwares. Search around for the 21d kdz file.

Did you ever flash the ICS port? If so you need to follow this guide to flash the uboot and xloader img's.

I think it's possible to boot into it via kexec.....

I don't want to go back to 100% stock GB but is there a way to Rom it I mean I see kexec being mentioned. Thanks and hope you all have a great day. I'm a noob to this whole safestrap ordeal. I've ported to devices and all, once I get situated with this device look forward to ports.

As mentioned before, unfortunately, you cannot flash older versions of Android to the D4 via RSDLite. As for kexec, I think this would work in theory, but the kexec kernel we have now is JB. So, you would have to create a GB kexec kernel first (maybe just clone the original D4 GB kernel?) and then insert that into a stock D4 GB ROM or an older D4 custom ROM like Eclipse GB.
Good luck!
