Can anyone point me to a thread on how to flash a 5.1 radio on my AT&T variant please? I've got the correct file but don't want to hose my phone up guessing. My ADB works just fine, I'm just not sure how to flash the radio / firmware in it.
My issue is I'm on a 5.1 rom and my LTE signal sucks. Don't get it much anymore. I'm assuming that's my problem.
Thanks!

Flashing is done through fastboot, not ADB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2969380
Thanks, but I don't have an .img file. I have a .zip that has to be done while in fastboot mode with adb. Hopefully that thread will get me through.

If you have a zip file, can't it just be flashed in TWRP?
Unfortunately no. If only. lol

Ummm I'm no expert by any means but I've never heard of flashing in fastboot mode with ADB. ???
Here's a link to the ROM I'm using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-meanpop-v0-1-feb-22-5-0-1-t3037579
It actually says .bat file. But comes as a .zip. Maybe I should bug them in the ROM thread. lol

AFAIK, You can only flash radio images via fastboot.
If you have a zip, extract it until you get to the radio.img. then fastboot flash that.

Thanks! I finally figured out the .bat file could be run in a command prompt window and that called the fastboot commands. Thanks for the help!

Er yes.... .bat files are batch files containing commands that when you click it, run in command prompt
I blame not using Fastboot or ADB much. That along with the fear of a brick. Once I just opened up the .bat file and saw how little it did then it made sense.

an .rar is a compressed file. unrar the file to get the .img
Do u lose clockwork recovery when u reboot? That's the problem I'm having updating to 2.3.1
breaks wifi for me
How do I flash the img? Do I use adb and if so what's the adb commands?
After I flash this, i just go into rom manager and download/install the update and that's it?
Will i lose root by flashing this?

test_boot.img should be in the folder, c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
since that is where you are running flashboot from

looks like installing a rooted img breaks wifi. i did the superboot/paulobrian method then installed the voodoo ext 4 kernel, then wifi was broken.
i reflashed my boot.img and re-updated via recovery and i have wifi back.

heres how to get root back:
download the superboot/paulobrian method.
boot phone to fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot boot.superboot.img
let phone boot, open terminal, su, just to check.
reboot phone.
rooted and ota'd now!
So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"
any suggestions?

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here https://mega.co.nz/#!AAATiKpI!PJbBgroM6PB7tTAs_TanCOrlzAeqBq0PEupNyvU72pEl Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the occam-ktu85l-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder. ADB/FASTBOOT must be intalled on your PC.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.

The system partition was deleted and the phone has TWRP. The mac recognizes the ADB device and the MTP. Tried toggling the MTP, no success. Currently android file transfer fails every time due to a missing MD5 file in the android 6.0.1 zip, although all that is being attempted is a drag and drop. ADB sideload says it has completed but no files appear on the phone to flash, or in the file explorer, and so does ADB push. Tried re-downloading the rom, rebooting the phone and everything else.

yup, its a .tgz file. download it, "unzip" it, then flash each partition separately instead of all together using fastboot. its the only way to get everything back. then you can flash twrp after, and SuperSU.
