does anyone else have problems with new radio when usb tethering internet

it has no or little internet connectivety???? but when i unplug and use hotspot its fine just usb tethering??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gcantrell:
Stupid question, can I rename the file to update.zip and treat it like an upgrade on my non-rooted Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaysckap:
Nope
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
Nope, you have to name it PG05IMG.zip regardless, if not it won't work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gcantrell:
Ok thanks for the heads up. I just want to be clear on my options. I haven't rooted yet because i haven't really found a reason to. But if i absolutely have to in order to get this update i will, because i truthfully don't want to have to wait on VZW, because i have a feeling we'll still be waiting for a while. I'm not totally new to the rooting world, i've done it before on my G2.

So for this particular file, i need root correct?

Also if i try to install this is it gonna wipe all the data from my phone? Because honestly i rather if/when it was possible just upgrade the phone instead of having to start from scratch all over again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _GLBRT:
non rooted wipe?

Will non rooted users' devices wipe after renaming and installing the .zip?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
Nope. Just drag it to your SD and rename it to what is said above. Boot into the bootloader mode, hit the power button and it should do it automatically.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
You have two options for a non-rooted phone:

Either download this file, rename it to PG05IMG.zip and copy to the root of your sdcard, use ADB to reboot to the bootloader and flash it. It's signed and untouched so you'll be upgraded to the latest version without having to root. However this will wipe your data.

Second option is to root, flash the radio only RUU, and use clockworkmod recovery to flash the stock, deodexed version of this rom, which will not wipe data. Details are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042004
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
No, you don't need to be rooted for this specific RUU file.

Use Astro to back up all your apps then drop this file to the SDcard, reboot to Hboot and let it do the magic.

Then go to market download Astro and install all the apps you backed up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gcantrell:
Sounds like id be better off rooting, backing up my Apps and data then loading this. I'll check it out after work. Thanks guys for all of your help!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gener1c:
Can anyone post a Deodexed version of this rom? One with Bloat and one without any of vzw bloat.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] orcsbane13:
Anyone know if the current rooting method works with this version?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] AlpineM3:
My DInc was flashed more than a girls gone wild camera man and I never heard of a radio wiping my data....why is it that this is?

Not rooted at the moment, but also don't have a problem with wiped data, but very curious about this
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
The radio doesn't wipe data, only flashing the full Rom RUU will. Radio only is posted in the Das BAMF 1.5 topic.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] suzook:
I flashed just the radio. Data wasnt wiped, but all my txt messages were gone. No biggie, just sayin.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
So is there a way for me to get the fixes in this update without wipeing and losing my root?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yumms:
Just flash the radio only, that's what I did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
The Radio only update will apply some of the fixes but not all of them. If you don't want to lose data follow the directions in this thread
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
There's another post for people with rooted phones, go to the first post on the first page and read.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheZuneLune:
Any idea how long before we might see said OTA update? I have not yet rooted and if it's just going to be a matter of a couple of days, I can wait. Even if I back up apps, it's a lot of work to get everything set up again.

I have been waiting to root because after rooting, it's like getting a new phone and I want to wait until either I am bored with this one or some great feature comes out for root that I can't get otherwise. :)

Oh, and it's a real pain to reactivate my corporate email and calendar, so I'd rather not root.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcortes187:
Dumb question I'm sure but i have s-off and it states that I need to check the MD5 Checksum how do I go about doing this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
You can do it on your phone. Download terminal emulator from the market open and type

Su

Data/local/busybox md5sum mnt/sdcard/nameoffile.zip

I think that's right pretty sure
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
This is suppose to be the radio update only

http://www.multiupload.com/2VDSQ6SBAZ I did not upload this file I just found it here can anyone tell me if I can safely update with this without losing root or having to wipe my data and if I can how do i do it?

EDIT: Well I did the update and have a new baseband 1.16.00.0402w_1 and it seems to all be working so awesome! My root isn't lost and no data wipe!

"put it on the sd and turn the phone off, hold volume down and press power, it will then read the card and ask if you want to update, press volume up for yes and wait till it does it's thing..."

EDIT 2:

Apparently they other one didn't have the LTE firmware but it is now updated http://www.multiupload.com/2VDSQ6SBAZ
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AlpineM3:
So what's the verdict......worth updating the radio to the latest version for non-rooted users? Pros and cons? Still too early to tell?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well I've been on it for a whole 5 min and so far nothing bad has happened I do think that it did fix the gps and 3g drops but my question is did it fix the Draft bug that's been driving me insane does anyone know if it fixed the draft bug in the texting app?

edit: oh your not rooted idk I'm rooted but I wouldn't imagine it would do anything bad you'll have to ask others. The version I used just updated the radio didn't make me wipe or deroot. I think someone needs to put the other file in the first post of this thread else maybe I'll have to make another topic.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
what is this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] happimeal:
Wonder if having a new radio will slow down progress on CM7 or help it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dirtyfingers:
Uhh... Didn't the OP explain that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Use this one instead the other update is incomplete http://www.multiupload.com/2VDSQ6SBAZ Adrynalyne made it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
with this update my battery life is better but gps is still slow to lock
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
Agree, I was able to get about 8hours of use and my phone wasn't even fully charged.

Anybody has had the market update itself or it's still stock on the old market, thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
It caused some gps issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
I wasn't aware of this, what exactly does it "not fix"?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GoldenCyn:
so uh, whats the difference between this one and Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.12.605.6_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_N V_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release

I see different numbers, but all these rom, kernel, and update releases in the past two days is confusing the hell out of me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
That is the version that the Thunderbolt shipped with. The one linked in this thread is the coming OTA update. Both are stock and non-rooted, as kosher as you can get.

How do I root this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dennyjones:
ok just got my TB im comming from a rooted og droid running ud3.0. so ive read all that i could before i got the TB and i decided to install the zip file in the original post for the unrooted TB. so i put it on my sd card and i renamed it PG05IMG.zip and the i power down my TB and hald volume dwn button and power button together then im in bootload. then from what i understand i hit the power button again then again(twice?) it runs like its trying to flash something but then it stops and says no image or wrong image? yes i made sure that it only has one .zip i tried it with cap and lower case letters? i want to update this now i dont want to wait forever on verizon for this updat that all TB devices should get as soon as they are activated. im having all the issues this zip is suppose to fix. so can someone help??

ps at the top of the bootloader it says s is on if thT MATTERS??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sm0k3y-TB:
I would make sure you have the correct file downloaded and also make sure it is on the root of your of yur sd card.

sent via r00t3d TB - thx jcase!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
You may have to toggle then select "bootloader" option. When I went into hboot it wouldn't automatically d/l for me so that's what I did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tcfrombn:
So, no gingerbread ota?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dennyjones:
yep i dwn loaded it three times this last time i did it from my device using 4g(witch is blazing fast i may add) and installed it on the root of the sd card( in other words on the card and not in any folder) but i try it again and i zips thru something so fast i cant read it the it says checking (file name) then nothing happens? i dont know ive flashed many roms and kernels on my og droid and this one has me stumped.. i just dont want to wait for verizon to send this out as a ota since my gps is jacked and other issues. well thanks for the tips guys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dennyjones:
ok ive just tried to install this file from the original post that suppose to be the stock ruu file. here a link to it on here. i dwnloaded the file at the bottom of the post.

[RUU] 1.13.605.7 Radio 1.16.00.0402 signed - xda-developers

well let me tell you its my second day with the thunderbolt and ive tried countless times to install this stock zip file on my unrooted stock tb. ive dl'ed this file over six times from the link at the bottom of the op and everytime i place it on my sd card and boot into hboot it will try to install and says "wrong image no image" i even went so far as to extract the files first before putting them on my sd card then i just put the zip file without renaming it the i put the file one the root of my sd card countless times and renamed it PG05IMG.zip with capital letters then lower case letters i tried it like pg zero five img dot zip and then pg o five img dot zip so with a zero and an o(i spelled it out to point out using the 0 and the o). and i get the same ole story "wrong image no image"

so heres my question for the people that say they got it to install could you post the file youve used? now keep in mind my tb isnt rooted so i need the stock version. and i will see if that works. because if not im taking this phone back until htc and verizon gets it fixed. its like verizon or htc needed a new money machine or flagship device and rushed this out to market and didnt have all the bugs worked out yet and of course we who paid our hard earned cash for these devices get jacked because it takes them so damm long to release the ota fix.

sorry for the rant im getting mad now.

i appoligize and any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated please.

ugh after another dl i placed it on my sd card then used astro tp rename it and as i type this it is installing. grrrrr it had me goin bonkers. thanks for listening
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
Try naming it PG05IMG without an extension at all. Some version of windows add the extension but hide it from you. So you would in effect be naming it PG05IMG.zip.zip if you put the .zip in the name.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
2.3 will not be out officially for another month or two, the leak will probably come a couple weeks earlier.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
Don't hold your breath for a public leak within a couple weeks.

yep finally go this to load last night and it went great. i dont know what i did differently because i did it the same??? well heresa question why after installing this im not getting all my paid apps back. like astro pro and others.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
Any way to return to stock unrooted from this ROM? Can't do it through the bootloader as you are going back to an older version.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
Solved my own issue after a little research. Used ADB to temp root my device and forced the stock ROM to load. Everything back up and running.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sm0k3y-TB:
Jcase or anyone else! - is there a way to get a zip for the camcorder noise cancelling fix? I want to use a ROM that is not yet using the new RUU and I could easily run it and update to newest radio but my camcorder doesn't record ANY sound unless I have that fix applied. Let me know if this is possible.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
I would contact the rom developer
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
Good question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ZeliardM:
You should be able to root it using the same method as before. I was able to go through part of the root process to get su and then went back to stock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cjharris1985:
So is this the "official" update that VZW just released or is this the leaked verison?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
This could be the official version. All the software numbers match up, we don't know what radio version will be in the OTA though. Hopefully that has changed, as the leaked radio can cause reboots.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrsmith35sg:
Thanks! Decided to jump in and not wait on the OTA and just flashed without any issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrsmith35sg:
Actually I lied, has anyone had any wifi issues?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] akanatrix:
No, I have not.

Bootloader on non-rooted phone

A very newbie question, as I read and prep to flash... I've moved the file over to the root of the SD with Windows explorer with the name of PG05IMG.zip.

I'm not rooted (yet), and I get permission denied on ADB commands. (I launched command from W7, typed ADB Shell and get the $ prompt). I've tried booting by holding the volume down and turning on the Thunderbolt (which I think is the other way to get the image to load). Help.

Thanks for any help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] woodsptw:
I turned off fastboot on a lark as I went through the various settings. Turned off the phone. I held the volume down and held down the power button and now I see HBOOT and it is loading the file.

Cool.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
fastboot and "fast boot" are two different thinks

fastboot is a hboot feature used for flashing etc.

"Fast boot" is hibernation mode.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aostl:
How bad are the random reboots on this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
I've only seen 2 reboots which I didn't initiate since running this rom for how many weeks now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
Confirmed as the May 12th ota.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
Jcase, question, since I'm running the leaked version, do I need to go back to 1.12.605.6 stock, thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jrocker23:
Jcase, one more question.

Is there anyway to make this a flash update so I can flash over my version of the updated leak with the old build numbers.

I would like to have the phone show the new software and build numbers. Is there another way to do it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
Just got 4G on my screen a minute ago... this was after installing the rooted version of the latest OTA (which was leaked and posted by jcase).. wohooooo!!!

I'm in the sacramento area fyi.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
Did you not get 4g before? If so, are you you in an extended period area? The reason I ask is I am in extended 4g area but do not get 4g. Never have...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
I've gotten 4G before in areas where I am supposed to get.. airports, big cities etc. Sacramento has 4G only at the airport and not in downtown and other suburbs. I am in one of the suburbs and got 4G about 45 minutes ago. That never happened before
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:

Question: I'm running Slayher's CM7 pre-alpha build. It's working pretty well. But the battery life is terrible for me. This new radio was supposed to improve battery life, right?

Last time I flashed it, it caused a lot of random reboots and I had to return all the way back to stock.

Is that going to happen again? Or did they work out some kinks before they released it as an OTA?

Thanks.

EDIT: Also, what is the process for installing this? Do I need to revert back to stock BEFORE flashing the radio? Or can I flash it while still on CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
Mine has flashed on and off before but never stayed 4g for more than a minute or so before going to 3g again. (Extended 4g at my house) In regular 4g areas I have no issues. Thanks

Yes, you can still downgrade the firmware and follow the normal root procedure.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D Wright:
I have kept my tablet stock since I bought it a few months ago.

I do download and install quite a bit, mostly from Amazon and Slide Me.

Got the newest update and everything seemed fine and it worked well for a few days. Left it off the charger for 2 days and when I tried to power it up 0% left. How, since it was fully charged before that.

Anyways, I connect it and charge and it boots to main screen to unlock and a million force closes on every program. Cannot log in. Finally had to do a reset and reinstall everything.

I don't know if this is related but I did install an aquarium desktop from Amazon (free app of the day). Could that have caused the conflict and somehow drained battery even during shut down?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhanifin:
This just a thought... Could your charger have overcharged and damaged the battery? I know my D1 has a smart charger that shuts off when fully charged.

Does anyone know if gtabs have smart charge circuits built in?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D Wright:
I guess leaving it stock keeps me ready for the great new update coming down the road. Am I a Pollyanna?

It really seems to work fine, and as far as this problem, it doesn't seem any worse than some of the modding problems I keep reading about.

In a few more weeks I may just take the plunge. Still, what happened?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungfufyter:
I use CM6, and after installing the Aquarium app a few days ago, I found that it didn't work. Not sure why, but when I selected that as the live wallpaper, I would have to FC it.

[HD2 General] StarLog:
The one in my signature is the smoothest and easy to install on the SD card.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Not to be a smart a$$ but why say the easiest to install. You install SD card builds the exact same way. You just download the build exstractcthe files from the zip file to a folder if it does not create a folder and then copy the folder to the root of your SD card. Then open the folder with File Explorer on your HD2 and open the folder you copied to your SD card and touch on CLCAD first then touch on HARET. Not really hard at all.
