[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderman09:
Did you happen to download 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 and install just those first? Those two are just patches that required 1.6 as a base.

So, you would have to flash 1.6, then 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 over it as a patch - you can't just flash 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 by themselves. With 1.6.3, I think they went back to a full rom release.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Install via cwr, not Rom manager.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmin9012:
I had the same problem with the SD card running Bamf Remix. What solved it for me was formatting the SD card. Obviously backup the SD card on your computer first.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droided1:
Download 1.6.3 and do a flash. It's a complete download too, id give that a go. I didn't run into any of those problems. Are you flashing through rom manager or cwm?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Dont manually mount data. For some reason when i did that the same exact this happened to me. No 6 bar signal and no 4 in 1 reboot menu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcore09:
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I solved the problem by using recovery rather than ROM Manager, and wiping data/dalvik/cache twice each (doing them only once wasn't sufficient, although idk how to explain it). I've been running 1.6.2 without issues for a day now. I'll move on to 1.6.3 after I see how well it's holding up for everyone else.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiax:
I ended up wiping everything and installing 1.6.3 and that fixed everything. Thank You all Gentlemen for helping!

You guys are genius!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiax:
Well I thought the issues was over after the install, But now Every time i receive a call ...Call Recorder Crashes. Also I am experiencing random reboots.

I was in the middle of a call and it rebooted on me.

Any Ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
For the Call Recorder, it sounds like you're running a custom kernel. Most kernels don't support the things that Call Recorder needs. For the reboots, well, can't help you there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Other than wiping twice (???), what you said you did should be standard procedure. Flashing via ROM Manager and Kernel Manager are no-no's unless you get lucky. In an ideal world, they work. And in many cases, they do work. However, in many cases, they cause nasty issues. For example, if you flash some kernels via Kernel Manager, the device drivers don't get flashed properly and you have some pretty nasty problems. And when you flash via ROM Manager, well, you learned what happens. From now on, only flash via CWM and CWM only.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiax:
Thank you for your responses. I am only using the 4.4.7 kernel. Which come s with dad band 1.6.3. I think that it is this new kernel (4.4.7). I never had these issues with 1.6.2.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Try down grading your kernel to a slightly older version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiax:
I reflashed my kernel to the same 4.4.7 but downloaded the kernel from his standalone post regarding kernels. My call rcorder is working now. Hasn't restarted since then either. Crossing my fingers ...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodiax:
Well it restarted randomly while I had it connected to my Laptop and set to charge. I was in the middle of a Call with someone.

Very interesting why its Randomly rebooting. Could be the new radio. May be that why verizon held out on releasing it yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Could it simply be chucked from memory as part of Android's memory management system? It doesn't have an icon in the notification area which means it's not a foreground (or whatever it's called) application, which means it's much more likely to be chucked from memory. If this is the problem, then either a swap (check out Imoseyon's kernels and swap file) or modifying your Dalvik VM Heap to be smaller might help.

What do your logs say?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmin9012:
I would suggest not doing the ota via verizon. You would have to unroot, install stock rom, stock kernal before doing ota from verizon. Instead, try the radios here on xda. There are variations to try what fits your needs. Update radios in hboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsnest:
Hey, see the link in my signature, it's the You Tube video that a couple others mention in this thread. I just rooted my tbolt this morning.

Nothing has changed as far as his guide for setting up ADB (my link), but there is a shorter version of the actual step by step root process - the new process ends at step 7 and the old one was 9 steps (I think).

Either way, I also used Nate's guide, step 2, the actual rooting process, on you tube, just to make sure I was getting stuff correct. It's just that the newer step by step ends and Nate's has a couple extra steps in the video - but you don't need to worry about those steps, you won't even get to them. :-)

I have seen some really nice looking themes in there, but is there any way someone can start porting over some heavy themed themes feom the inc or any other htc phone. One example would be viva cyan? It would be great to start seeing more and more ports. I am missing these types of themes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanphx1:
I don't understand what you mean by heavy themed, in fact my Dark Horse theme was ported from the Eris to the Evo by KFunk. I would consider it heavily themed. I have already seen viva cyan and I personally don't care for it. If you theme a ROM you should actually plan on using the theme. I frequent the Evo and Inc forums and I can say that there is not one complete theme I would care to port. Just my opinion.

I got my HTC fully working with the links provided below.

All HTC Inspire stock phones come with HSPA LOCK, you must unlock HSPA

starting with these steps:

Follow these steps.

1.

*ROOTED

*ENG SOFF

(I use this method, and works perfect: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406)

*I use Radio- 26.06.04.06_M, share :)

*HSPA UNLOCKED

(get stock/rooted/hspa unlock rom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042) flash it

and update it, then.

*and i use Cm 7.2 ROM

*Once you have that, LOCK YOUR DEVICE TO ALL NEW WCDMA/HSPA TOWERS ONLY!

*Also connects to edge, etc.etc. if your not hspa/wcdma area.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the dailer.

Select Phone Information.

Scroll down to "Set Preferred Network Type".

Select WCDMA Only. and hit home and reboot,

works, its easy and u your inspire is SICK!

thanks to xda, and cyanogen mod again!

ATT is the only "4g network" on HSPA, until they get LTE i believe and i hope.

if your in an area that only picks up edge towers, then unfortunetly your out of luck, but if u travel in area with 3g itll work, meaning itll work with EDGE areas if u apply the setting

You don't need to be Eng-Off to flash roms, radios, etc. anymore. Do some research about that before you post. I'm sure that you don't need to do the code because most phones are on the WCDMA option already. I don't understand why most people get excited for speed test. They are just teh same as quadrant benchmark scores.....for show and tell. Do these scores increase the size of your e-peen? I for one have my setting on GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), decent speed and a better battery life. To each their own.

[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I posted this in one of your many "I'm getting 4.3 in Orlando SICK HAHA!!!" threads but might as well say it here too. You shouldn't be telling people to select "WCDMA Only". The "WCDMA Preferred" setting will automatically lock onto WCDMA towers if they are in your area, and still allow your phone to connect to other network types. If you configure your phone to "WCDMA Only" and you travel outside of a WCDMA area, guess what happens to your connection? These are called MOBILE phones for a reason, and people do travel with them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cpbeats:
I'm confused. Are you saying that your picking up hspa+ or just good 3G in Orlando. Reason I ask is per att hspa+ isn't available in Florida anywhere. Go to www.att.com/network and scroll over Florida. If a orange dot doesn't light up, then your still on 3G, which you are. Btw I get 4 mbps whether that's on or not per your settings.

It's nice to see people trying to help everyone out - and I'm glad your process worked for you. A lot of people will not have the same experience as you though.

Have you gone through this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982082

This is where the connection categories are "enabled" on the network, in the ROM (basically... let's keep this simple). They are not "locked" on the stock ROM - just not enabled. Every custom, ported, and tweaked ROM in this forum handles that file differently - hence why some ROMs seem quicker on a "good AT&T day".

That stock rooted ROM you posted is nothing special compared to the others (no offense to anyone - just stating that it is no better or worse, in terms of connection speeds) - and as soon as you wipe and flash a different ROM ... all the settings on your phone are now that of the ROM you just flashed. There's no point in flashing 1, to flash another. I'm not going to get into radios and RIL files and complicate this even more - just keeping this simple and radios out of it.

As for discussing connections between towers and throughput with different ROMs, I live in Orlando and work out at KSC. Overall, my G2 is better in Orlando (tmobile), and my Inspire is way better at work (AT&T). I flash both my phones an un-godly amount of times through the week, testing different configurations, set-ups, personal builds, etc. at work and home. The speeds are still dependant on the network first and ROM config second. So whatever you flashed last, is what your configured for - not some hybrid metamorphosis of the last 2, 3, or more ROMs you flashed. On a side note, the differences are even more noticeable in wifi connections. While testing, I have pegged a 10 meg wireless connection here at work while another systems guy with an Inspire could only max out at 5 - same ROM, testing different configs.

Just trying to help a little - keep on tweaking and sharing everyone - that's how this open source community was built.

Oh, and for the love of god people... when flashing any ROM, follow the directions of the DEV for the ROM. It's hilarious watching the carnage in different device forums of people who can't follow simple (hand holding) directions, but I feel mean for laughing. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] BlownFuze:

Here's a link of average speeds from 2009: http://m.lifehacker.com/5304576/3g-speeds-tested--compared-city-by-city

As you can see, we never got true 3G speeds anyway. What we got from the carriers - was what THEY wanted to call 3G. The same holds true for hspa and 4G - we are getting what they feel like giving us and naming it however they want.

So dub it whatever you want, by any arbitrary number you want... I'm getting better than their "3G" offering ever was - and it falls within what they're selling/telling us is their 4G.

I am one of the several people your little comment is presumably directed at. No need to tell us all to shut our mouths. We were merely inferring that this thread is superseded by several better, more up to date threads. The method mentioned in this thread is by no means the best way to achieve best speeds. Try locking your phone into WCDMA-only mode and then go on a road trip where you'll be traveling in and out of WCDMA areas, and let me know how often your connection completely drops for extended periods of time. But yes I do agree, at least the OP was trying to help I guess. This forum has a lot of out of control suggestions and sometimes they need to be reeled in a bit.
