Technical info - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Ive been always roaming into android device, installing custom ROMs, recoveries, kernels and firmwares but never got what they really are technically.
Could you please tell me what is the Shell, kernel and firmware? What is the difference?
Thanks

Radio issue

Hey guys I sold my captivate to a friend that lives in NY, and before I shipped it to him it got signal fine, but it won't work for him. He's flashed other roms and modems. Does anyone have any idea

It might be worth letting us know what rom/kernel he's on, as well as what modems he has tried. The more info you can give, the better.
Well he when I sent him the phone he was running the continuum gingerbread with the modem in that version,and the reoriented kernal. The dev section has a lot of new stuff since I had my captivate. I'll get with him and get all the correct info

Have him flash the phone to stock and verify that it works.
Could be the sim card as well.

From looking at the attached thread, it should still be possible to edit the files successfully without an existing backup.

HTC vivid ril

I have an HTC Vivid, and I have the sense 4 port on it, which most of us know that the ril is broken... Well the ril is broken because of the system its self. Now my question is, can we make a new hybrid software? With android 4.0.3 and sense 4? Or can we just use the ril from sense 3.6? Please any ideas or suggestions will be taken seriously, it's time the vivid becomes the phone it was meant to be

If that was possible I'm sure a dev would have done it. Sense frameworks is really complicated

I was under the impression that with ICS or JB that you didn't need a RIL, at least that is how it was with the HTC Inspire.
Anyway you can try GetRil from the market, that is what I used. So hopefully it's the same for the Vivid

With supercid????

Just a quick question I know with supercid u can flash other carriers RUU and firmware... But with our m7 variant can we flash other m7variants custom rims just trying to figure that out....

Yes you can use roms from the other forums as long as there is Sprint support(Insertcoin & Eligancia(SPL)) Make sure you read the OP before flashing.
SuperCID doesn't really do much for us
