Ok, so I went from stock with root, flashed to a GB rom and then flashed a new radio from hboot. Worked great, had 16mb/4mb speed test!

Switched to a different rom as that one I had bluetooth problems with and wanted to go back to a sense rom anyway. Flashed to new rom, suddenly couldn't get into hboot anymore with volume down+power. Weird, but wasn't that worried.

Didn't like that rom either, restored my stock nandroid backup. Still can't access hboot though and I do need to reflash a radio as all I'm getting now is about 800k/400k...

Can someone give me a few pointers? really lost after coming from the Captivate, I've read and searched but can't find anything definitive and different sources say that hboot is the safe way but others say it's dangerous.

EDIT

>> After restoring to stock the Fastboot option returned to Settings - Applications and I was able to disable it and get into hboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Udonitron:
So by "hboot" you mean volume down, power, install zip off SD card, reboot?

I need to flash mine as I get no satellites at all
[HTC Inspire 4G] drewdatrip:
A change in radio wont really help you much in the way of GPS. you need to push a better gps.conf to your phone.

I'm using the coredroid v6.5 rom with the stock att radio and I want to flash the recommended radio and ril for this rom to optimize it. My dilemma is that on the coredroid thread it recommends three different radios and ril to flash with the gingerbread builds: 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M(Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.16.0.0)/ril 2.16, 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M(Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.25.0.0)/ril 2.25, and 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2(Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.36.0)/ril 2.36. Which one of these three radio/ril combinations do I flash to optimize the coredroid v6.5 rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] shad0wf0x:
I'm sorry guys I can't help with what radio to flash for what rom, ask in the rom thread for the rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Att.Fan1982:
How do I check for corruption in the radio file I downloaded? What is this adb? I'm a little confused.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cocchiararo:
did you really need to quote such a big post to ask that ?

adb = android device bridge

for "corruption", get some md5 checker, and compare to the ones published here.

Flashing with the recommended radio

A little help would greatly be appreciated, I want to flash my Inspire with the recommended radio for LeeDrOID v3.0.3 rom. Not sure on how to set up the zip correctly, I have the image file in the zip, properly named PD98IMG.zip. But my radio stays the same.:confused:

Done, figured it out.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] macdude15:
Can i flash this radio (12.39a.60.19_26.06.06.30_M) in HBOOT after i run the act hack kit? then install any ROM i want? i know how to flash radios and ROMs just wondering if thats what i can do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Yes. You should also flash the radios corresponding ril when trying out different radios
[HTC Inspire 4G] marvdmartian:
I plan to flash the recommended radio for Android Revolution. Do I simply download the radio.img, check the md5sum and compare it to the one on the AR thread, then put it in the PD98IMG.zip, transfer to card, compare md5sum of zip on pc and on phone, then flash?

What are the risks of a failed flash? Will it permanently brick my phone even if I have eng s-on?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ibby03:
Can someone please make a PD98IMG zip for RADIO_12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2... I'm on a MAC and everytime I create a zip file (3 different programs mind you) HBOOT wont flash it... It is located here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996630) Or if not explain an easy way to zip the file up again after editing it on a mac... Thanks in advance for any help...

**Edit** for added information when the zip gets read in hboot it locates it and gets to parsing .zip file I see the status bar on the right fill up quickly then it takes me back to the hboot screen with the same options as if nothing happened. I was able to flash back to stock radio from the .zip file created in the beginning of the thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
When we flash a RIL in CWM do we go to mounts then mount system before flashing the RIL? I read in one of the ROM threads to do this. Is it necessary?

Mods: This really needs to be a sticky. Great for noobs like me with the inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shad0wf0x:
Exactly!

I'm not 100% sure of the risks, there is a possibility of brick, but not if you follow those steps you listed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shad0wf0x:
Depends on the zip you flash, inside the zip is a folder structure, in META-INF\com\google\android is text file script that runs in clockworkmod when you flash the zip, called updater-script. Inside should be a line to mount system. In a cm7 zip I show the line:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");

This mounts the system partition before it writes the files. If that exists in the scipt in your flashable ril zip, then you should not have to mount system first. It cannot however hurt to do it beforehand.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
What happens if you don't mount and it's not in the script? The answer to this could definitely help people troubleshoot if the scripts not there and they forget to mount the system.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marvdmartian:
Thanks. What should I flash first? The radio, then the ROM? or the other way around?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cocchiararo:
mounting it WILL NOT hurt.

If you don't mount it, the .zip "gets executed" and you receive no errors, but it might not do anything.

my zips had the mount instruction, but for some reason sometimes they don't work, dunno if its CWM related, or rom related.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
So we use your apk after flashing to verify, correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cocchiararo:
not @my@ apk, the apk i uploaded :P

i did not make it XD (just not want to take credit for something someone else made)

you can also use the "terminal method" for checking :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Sorry I didn't know that. I like it though because it's quicker than opening up terminal plus my old eyes aren't suited well for terminal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yolo2die:
What is the actual stock radio? Is there any consensus which may be better? Using 26.06.04.06, also tried the newest...I seem to get alot of bouncing between edge, 3g, then the H? Any insight? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] shad0wf0x:
12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M is the stock shipping radio. Radios vary between regions/areas, what is good for one person may not be good for others. I use the 26.06.06.30 radio, I've never had what you are describing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yolo2die:
Shad0wf0x,

I guess what's weird is I have full bars and I get nothing, calls even drop before they can even ring? What other versions of radios are for the inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jess086:

Is there a way to get the latest Telus radio packed in a PD98IMG file?

Found the radio here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295

My DHD cam with Froyo and I used AAHK to unlock it and I installed CM7 on it.

AAHK instructions says: "Flash them (radios) PD98IMG style instead."

From what I can find, the latest version seems to be "Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M.zip" but it contains only the .img file.

The PD98IMG files also have a file inside the archive called "android-info.txt".

I don't know how to get that file, that's why I'm asking for your help.

Thanks a lot!

[EVO 4G General] guitar jesus:
So I take my son to a medical appointment and I get 4g here. Average speeds of 8.5mbps down and 1.4 up. Crazy fast. However the 4g only gets signal in maybe a 3 mile radius. What a joke. Its obvious there is a wimax tower, so why such bad saturation? Been that way since I got the phone, it blows that they don't get their S together and give us here a decent signal, speaking as my average 3g speeds are 300k down and what's weird 600k up. Faster upload than down? Bittorrent on me!

Come down into OC and you will be surprised where you have 4g. Very few dead spots.

[EVO 4G General] guitar jesus:
RE:

I understand that I'm in Riverside, but you can even see from Sprint's map they have a 4g tower here, but such small coverage? That's ridiculous. I've read numerous articles how Sprint is doubling down on 4g and Android in 2011, I'd really like to see that. I know it's also partly with Clearwire, which Sprint owns part of. Clearwire is having bigtime money issues and I can't see WIMAX spreading at any kind of rate in the short term. I'm curious if this is the reason why Dan Hesse has said so many favorable things about LTE lately, because the company they used to help implement WIMAX couldn't get the job done.

[Android Apps and Games] Mastiff:
I do a lot of ROM changes on my Adam these days... Lot of experimenting too. And that's where Titanium Pro comes into play. Very nice to use, works well, but for one thing: I haven't yet been able to save the full version to an SD card, only the free version without the batch modes. I would like to simply install the APK from the SD card and then run the full batch. That would have me up and running in minutes, instead of what I do now, which is first to set up wifi to get to the market, get the pro version and then do the batch. Especially since the two different passwords I use for my wifi and market are very secure, but a big pain in the you know what to punch in. Long, and lots of special characters...

Is this possible in any way?
[Android Apps and Games] sinkster:
Just back up the pro key. After you launch titanium, restore it. Bingo
[Android Apps and Games] Mastiff:
Embarassingly simple... Thanks for the fast reaction! :D

Btw shouldn't the full backup do system settings too? It looks like I have to do stuff like wifi, Contry and so on manually.
[Android Apps and Games] lacrossev:
I was under the impression that the key was already on the SD, I've never had to get the key again after the wipe. Also, if you get it form the market you don't have to worry about it anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Mastiff:
No, but the problem is that it's a long, extra step to get to the market. And sometimes I have a really huge problem even getting there because my rooted Notion Ink Adam tablet doesn't alway play nice with it. Anyway, I did another full backup and it seems like it actually did save everything this time, with system data. So I'm good! :D
[Android Apps and Games] hiddenhandgun:
EZ mode: Under "More" in the menus there's a "Create update.zip" option. You'll need ZipSigner from the market to sign it. Having done that you can flash the update.zip in recovery and have Titanium Backup installed before you even boot into your new rom.
[Android Apps and Games] Mastiff:
OK, that was cool! Very cool! Thanks! :) Everything that saves me time when doing new ROMs is a good thing!
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Really, I have never had a harder time setting up an on-line account with any technology vendor for the simple purpose of paying a bill.

This is primarily rooted around Verizon's insistance on sending text messages for any activity to a device that does not accept them.

After two requests still awaiting for that snail mail that gives me a pin number so I can actually register on-line.

And all I see is grief in the future, whenever you want to do something, Verizon insists on sending a text. Sheesh.
[Xoom General] gbenj:
What the tech did for me, was activate a test phone on the account, then have the text message sent to that phone.

Once I used that temporary password to set up the online account, he took the test phone off the account.

I had them waive my activation fee for my troubles, but that was back when they weren't automatically waiving them anyway.
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
same issue.. dumb setup.. you would think they would have another way , not to mention, what they need to do is when you setup your tablet, they give you a pin in the box or set it up with a backup phone number.

there is a million ways to do it., its dumb that they forgot this setup

but then, I am still curious why they do not set these DATA only setups to NOT have pohone numbers. we all know that the US is running out of numbers, what is the use of the number?! Give me an account number, or hell, just a IP address or something that does not waste a phone number that I cant use.
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
This is a phone wireless provider. Initially the data was setup for a means of phones getting data. So built on top of that principal in order to communicate with the Verizon NOC your unique identifier is actually your phone number, thats how their system evolved and it would be silly to rewrite their entire setup so tablets, a small percentage of their devies on their network, don't have to have a unique number that isn't a phone number.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I would accept that, but have you seen the iPad 2? You can signup for and pre-pay data ON THE DEVICE. This is on verizon, they have it setup already, they just didn't want to for the xoom.
[Xoom General] AJMetal87:
Really man..?

Last time I checked the moto xoom was not a phone. We have stores for people that cant handle the internet.

The text message feature is provisioned onto any and all devices, including aircards, its just the way the system was programmed pre-tablet'age.
[Xoom General] andyrm66:
Bunch of crap, I am currently waiting for my third PIN number to arrive by mail as the last two didnt work, I even called them and had THEM do it to make sure I wasnt screwing something up. I really wish I was inside of my 14day window or Id take it back and get the wifi and tether to my EVO and be done with it.
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
it might not make calls, but it is a device, I understand what he's talking about

but, lets face it, with the decent amount of tablets coming out, data cards, and other hardware and devices, getting rid of the number system might be advantagious in the near future.. but then, I actualy would not mind this thing having a number to text me too. but then with the costs, no way!

/rant.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Don't be a dork. This has to do with setting up a Verizon account on the internet, not with any one persons skill in using the internet. During the process there is a step "we will now text you your PIN", which you need the pin in order to complete the setup so you have access to your account on-line.

This is where Verizon drops the ball. After looking through the "I didn't / cannot get a text", a reference is made that it will be snail mailed to you if you do not complete the registration in 24 hours.

Apparently 24 hours actually means two weeks, which is how long it took me to get the PIN, which arrived today after my original posting, which of course happened after I have called them again and they have generated a new one which will probably take two more weeks, and this one is presumably invalid.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
A company is not defined by how they handle routine matters, but by how they handle exceptions.

It should not require rewriting the entire setup, the process should be smart enough to know when a device is not text capable, and provide an alternative flow... like maybe an e-mail?
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
That is a good tech who knows a work around. Unfortunately I waited a day or two before trying to set up my access to my on-line acount.
[Xoom General] Bukem75:
Hate VZW? In a word: Sprint. I bought mine a week ago. After getting confirmation of the sprint version, this one is boxed up and being returned. Can you find anyone willing to purchase your Xoom and transfer it over to another guy?
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
you could also go the Mifi way.

Virgin has a great deal. 10 days and 100mb for $10, or unlimited for a month for for $40 and no contracts, no nothing!

I still have the 20$ Verizon plan for now, just for the convenence, and since I use mostly Wifi, I can either use that, or call them up for one month to give me a GB of bandwitch.

but , no matter how i look at it, I think Verizon and Sprint, and T-Mo AND AT&T prices are CRAZy, exp if you dont use it all that much.
