May need a bit of help. Just tried to flash the new radio and screen showed updating radio and then restarted, RCMixHD splash screen came up and now it is stuck on the screen!! Would it be safe to take out the battery and restart it?

Edit: Radio in signature to .23
[Desire General] daddyspud:
So u flashed a radio did it complete the bar on the right complete then the rebooted

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
If you see RCMix splash screen than it safe to take out battery because radio is already flashed. Actually what else you can do anyway? You can plug your phone to PC and run adb logcat or QtADB to see logs and errors what prevents phone to boot.

Take out battery, return it, press power and volume down, wipe cache and dalvik and try to boot again.
[Desire General] ragingredbull:
Hi Daddyspud

followed the following steps from Mo Firouz's forum got through to lst step it restarted got black screen saying that it was installing radio, restarted again, went into splash screen and is now stuck there. I am explaining as I do not quite get your comment "Did it complete the bar on the right"

Or here is my version (useful when no computers are around):

1.Download the radio to your SD card.

2.Turn off the phone fully,

3.Hold down VolDown key and press the power button once. Keep on holding the VolDown.

4.When you see the white screen, let go.

5.Wait for a few seconds .. usually count to 7 would work.

6.Scroll down to 'recovery' using the VolDown VolUp keys. Select using power button.

7.You get to the black page, with a few lines of text. Now start using your optical pad.

8.Go to "Install zip from sdcard".

9.Navigate and select the zip.

10.Accept and flash.

11.Phone will restart a few of times, then you will come back and boot up again with your new radio
[Desire General] ragingredbull:
you are right just scared I f.....d my phone. Absolutely loving RCMix S. Will try it and let you know how it goes. Thanks for advice

Thanks for your help with my c...kup. I removed the battery, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik and cache, rebooted phone it booted, then rebooted a second time, is now in the splash screen firing up... has now gone into lockscreen, took a while for the weather lockscreen to show up but is now working. I have also checked my radio version and it is the latest radio. Phew Scared myself there for a second. I will definitely give your Tutorial a look next time. Thanks a million for your advice.

Which ROM version ?

HI,

I'm a really new in this. So, please excuse me, if my question is being answered already.

My device is :

HTC Desire White version

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON 40 000 erasesize

HBOOT-0.93.0001

RADIO-5.11.05.27

BASEBAND : 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Just rooted with AmonRa 2.0.1

And the question is : which rom version to flash, without need to go S-OFF, and reflash the HBOOT or RADIO ?

I've read so many guides, and get little confused about it :)

And if somebody feels kindly to give me a little guide for flash.

Preparations - layout of SD card (i know how to partition, just need to know - the layout and sizes)

I'm coming from HTC stock ROM (2.29.405.5) - do I need to clear cache or something else ?

And anything that somebody thinks will be good advice for newbie, like me :)

Great thanks in advance !!!

[Desire General] b6rt:
Hello there !

I read the guide and I'd like to flash RCMix S, but I have to say I'm a little lost.

Do I have to flash a custom recovery, or S-OFF the phone, or not ?

Currently I have a rooted Desire, with custom recovery ClockWorkMod, original Hboot 0.80, and a 512Mb ext3 partition. Can I flash the ROM right away ?

Thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for my ignorance ^^.
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
First you should read carefully with understanding before you start flashing around :)

Answer is, depends what version of RCMix you wish to flash. Two of them need s-off and one with standard hboot doesn't need it. Everything is noted in first post of the rom and in the name of rom.
[Desire General] b6rt:
Thank you Zeljko.

I saw 3 versions of the ROM :

RCMixS_v1.5_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip

RCMixS_v1.5_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip

RCMixS_v1.5_X-A2SD_BravoHboot.zip

And I downloaded the first one. But the third one seems to be compatible with the original hboot as well, am I right ?

PS : I used to flash a lot of roms a few months ago, and there were no hboot flashes at this time, have to get up to date ^^.
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Third one is compatible but because data and system partitions are swapped, requires s-off.
[Desire General] b6rt:
Oh OK think I understand a little bit more now.

You can S-OFF the stock hboot, or install a custom one. Then I'm going to flash RCMixS_v1.5_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip. Thanks :)

Hey daddyspud, great job on the rom. Downloaded it and it looks great.

Guys, I've also have this market non-downloading problem. I've followed this guide and tried the talk sign-out and sign-in solution but to no avail. I've also tried force-closing and restarting android market but that doesn't help either. Does anybody know how else I could fix it?

I'm using CM 2.5.0.7, hboot cm7, fat sdcard.
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Yes, it's normal if you don't read first post for rom requirements and this FAQ thread :D

so should I just sit and wait for it to do something then? or am I missing something? :)

Yes, you should just sit and read requirements for the rom you've just tried to flash :D

Just loaded Xboxexpert's BuildsFroyo 2.2 , everything seems to work just right except the video performance. I have a video I took with my G2x that won't even play , and a mp4 video that plays very choppy. Normally I would ask in the original thread but is has been closed.

Is there something else I can do to smooth out the video choppiness , maybe try a different rom....a better video player...

Please let me know
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Try out Mobo Player Neon, but frankly, i would say ditch Froyo, and go with the more modern CM7 (Gingerbread). Support for Froyo is all but dropped, with all active devs (devs, not themers) working on Gingerbread or greater.

If you do go CM7, i still suggest MoboPlayer (with the Arm7Neon codec if needed)...

[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
It really depends on what kind of performance (battery life, speed, etc.) you're after, versus what user experience you're after (heavy theming capability, Samsung's default TouchWiz interface versus something more AOSP-based).

I personally use the Mesmerize port of MIUI with the FROIS 2 theme. Because that's AOSP-based, it's REALLY fast, and I don't even think I've had my Voodoo lagfix enabled for a while. It scans my SD card in seconds, whereas on a TouchWiz rom it takes close to a minute.

On the other hand, there are things broken with the AOSP ROMs. If you're the kind of phone user who can live without those things, AOSP-based ROMs can be VERY fast, and VERY pretty.

TouchWiz tend not to be as fast on the whole (YMMV), but they should pretty be rock-solid stable, and still over some fun customizations and themes.

without specific examples, does that at least give you a better idea of which ROM you should check out?
[Samsung Mesmerize] 1fast72:
I am really looking for stability and battery life. With the company email always polling and working in a building that has a worse signal than an underground bunker my battery dies in under 8 hours. Right now I am rooted with a stock EC10 voodoo kernel. My big problem now is after being in an area that I lost signal, none of my texts went through. I could get them but not send. A reboot fixed it but dont want it to happen again.

I have been looking at the OTB kernel and JT's voodoo. For a ROM I have been looking at PnP but with the recent issues I have been waiting for the update. The H57 rom seems promising though.

[Samsung Mesmerize] SquidRott:
I'm not sure about other roms, but with Heinz 57, there are a handful of lockscreen styles that have the ability to silence the phone (turn on/off silence mode). For example I know the Rotary and AOSP unlock screens allow this.

It took a little getting used to, but I'm liking not having to unlock my phone to silence it.

Before this I have downloaded many apps from the market with no problems. Also I am still able to download apps from Amazon app store.
