The radio(baseband) files are corrupt on my bionic. Is there any custom rom that includes radio files so that I can see if they can fix my connectivity problems?
I tried FXZ stock JB, but the radio files doesn't get flashed. I think maybe it's not passing security.
Does anyone have suggestion on how to get radio files updated?
Try flashing with bootstrap not safe strap a stock ROM over your current set up if you're on stock it could fix it.

I believe that with a locked bootloader, the only way you can flash a new radio is to fxz or flash an ota update file in Stock recovery.

Unfortunately I have not being able to fxz or do stock recovery sucessfully. I think due to some corruption, the security check is failing and radio files won't flash. Is there any way to confirm if I'm failing security?

Hi,
I'd like to know if I must have a rooted nexus one to update my radio version.
thanks!
Depends how you do it...
Some of the official Google updates include an updated radio also, so if you can install them, you will get the radio update with them.
The biggest factor is probably which version of Android you are currently on, which radio you currently have, and which radio you want, etc...?

You do not to be rooted. Flash radios via fastboot.

Which requires an unlocked bootloader...

Yes, It's not the only way but the easiest way. Not so easy if you're on gingerbread though because gingerbread root right now still under construction. You'll need to downgrade and root it. Or unlock the boot loader and flash custom rom to acquire root. You can easily flash radio via recovery. Easiest way.

What is the best radio rom (long-life battery)
Is it possible to load any custom rom on my bell phone and just revert back if I needed to turn my phone in?

Also what is the most stable rom out there and does everything major in ics work?
Sent from my XT860 using XDA
There is the bell fastboot files available, so if needed you can just fastboot flash back to stock

okay, and if I dual boot ics and stock what does safemode do? like is it actually installed and use it as a daily driver? if i dual boot do my texts come in on ics and data works and everything? haha sorry for asll the questions. but i really hate screwing up my phone. i did that wih my atrix alot
That's the idea of safestrap. I think I've described it a dozen times so read up and download it URL="http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/"]here[/URL].
TL;DR - you flash to a temporary /system and can go back to stock whenever.
EDIT: Read your last post. Safestrap allows you to flash a rom without touching your current system. Your flashed rom will become your DD as it's sort of a pain to switch over. The idea is to keep a stock rom intact so you can receive OTAs and such
Ahh. I installed safe strap and its pretty cool. Is there a fix for cm9 on calling? The speaker doesn't work

I have a Bionic that is rooted, has CWM flashed and is on stock ROM. Is it safe to update to the latest OTA software? I just don't want any repercussions.

You will have to unroot your phone, the ota needs the stock recovery or it will not install. I would also recommend using safestrap instead of CWM. It makes it much harder to brick your phone. The latest version allows you to have up to 4 roms that you can switch between.

The "house of bionic" is what you need. Follow direction to the letter. It will take you back to stock and install 246.

You can install the same rom again using pc odin.
I did that but didn't seem to workout

Got cwm recovery?
Didnt make a backup?
If you havent got cwm, flash a cwm recovery image (with a new kernel... Dunno what system files u removed so...) using odin or heimdall.
Next: flash the rom of your likings after a full wipe.
After all that: BACKUP (using cwm).
Goodluck.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
You dont need odin.find a safe kernel like philz or abyss then download the stock rom and follow the steps for flashing it(i dont know whether requires wipe or not!)

Ota update is not available for modified roms.i think he is talking about that
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
hes not using a custom rom. he just rooted a stock rom and deleted some apps. This will not cause an issue with OTA unless he deleted the software updater

So I'm running the 9/18 CM 10.2 on my verizon droid 4 stock slot. I saw in the thread for CM that there is a new binary. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102723&page=81 What exactly does the binary do and should/how do I use that latest binary?
Nah your good. That's just for fast booting back to stock in case things get fubar

If your phone is totally dead, you can restore it using that files and the method of flashing it through RSD
