If i am currently running CM7 do I need to flash the new radio in order to use this ROM?

I am growing a little tired of CM7 - and wouldnt mind giving sense 2.1 a spin
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Fr3nZy:
Anychance of an Update.zip that will install the shutdown dialog from your Stock 2.0?

The one that includes the options for normal/hot restart/recovery etc
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I will look it to it, just been working alot and working on the other ports.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
Its not my rom....and I'm not advertising it....its the only rom that is compatible with the sense 3.0 lockscreen......sorry......and btw I love your roms nfx......I have been running this rom sense it came out
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
The sense 3 lock screen will work here if you copy it to system after deleting the one there and the odex file (and setting the permissions right). I've already done it with the sense 3 camera with panorama.

Didn't try the lock screen because I want to keep the stock themeable lock screen
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
And by the way, it is very rude and disrespectful to post links to another rom in a rom thread. I think anyways.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
WOW......I completely forgot...this rom is odex...not deodex......I feel stupid now :o ........cant believe I never gave that a thought......and yes I know now......and I can see why....I feel very stupid for both of those things.....and I'm sorry to nfx....wont ever happen again........I don't know why I did that :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Don't worry about it, and I am sorry I really shouldn't have responded the way I did, just a rough start this morning and I wasn't thinking clearly or actually at all.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
You don't need the new radio to run this. Specific radios for specific roms didn't seem to be an issue on cdma like it is for gsm. Don't know why... But in. think gsm support is built deeper into the system than cdma
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zrmxp95:
Its ok.....I still don't know why.....maybe I had your rom open and miks rom open on tabs and just replied to the wrong one.....because that was what we were talking about....idk I still shouldn't have posted it on your thread....and not to be like rushing or pushing but hows that kingdom port coming along.....I acquired the first version w/o sound and cam....just wondering

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Fr3nZy:
Been using nfinitefx45's rom since I made the switch from WinMo to Android 3 months ago. I prefer roms that are close to stock but with all the extra enhancement and really don't like roms with forced UI personalizations and customizations. I liked the look of the semi-stock rom. So I transferred over the Lockscreen, status bar icons, re-enabled the 1X/EvDo icon, and also replaced the pencil icon on the Compose button in the Text/Mail app. It looked out of place and irritated me. I created a new yellow 4G signal icon from it's settings icon. Seems appropriate for Sprint. New headphone Icon created from the Google Music app.

The only thing I couldn't transfer is 4-1 power off menu which looks like it required a lot of smali editing and I didn't have much success making the notification background transparent. Might need non-Sense SystemUI layout xmls as references.

The only gripe I have with this Test rom is that I can't assign a custom ring tone in the mail app. You use to be able to in 2.2 but the option is missing now.

Anyone else notice this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] NinjaMan691:
It should be in the personalize menu

I see that the solution to the problem that I have is right here but unfortunately I just don't know enough to fix it. If anyone is kind enough to write a step by step on how to do this.

Right now my phone goes to the boot screen pretty much every time I close an app or finish doing something. Also my clock has decided to run faster, don't know if it is related or not.

Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] aisseleacim03:
I installed terminal and went ahead and run the commands. At first all seemed to work well until i had to turn off my phone. When I tried to turn it back on it went into a boot loop. I had to flash the Rom again. Now I don't know if i typed something wrong or the fix just doesn't work for me.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layzie020:
Im very new to all of this but also very interested. Iv been reading allot of your posts but there still are a few things that im not grasping. If anyone can sum up one or all of these questions, it would help allot.

I just rooted my TB and have been flashing a few different ROMS(BAMF, Vanilla, and one other i cant think of) but on all 3 ROMS, my GPS will not work and my google calendar will not sync. Is this normal? I flashed plainjanev1 and it seemed to solve most of my problems, but its just like the stock and the whole reason i wanted to root was the possibility of changing my phone without losing GPS, Calendars, ect.. Does rooting and flashing a ROM usually mean i can lose things like GPS and Calendar?

Also, im lost on the concept of kernels and radio. Is a kernel something i can download to fix a problem i am having with my phone such as no GPS signal? And is a new radio download something that will help me better connect to my phone service?

I have many more questions, but dont want to bore you guys too much. Still reading through posts and trying to learn. i respect all of you that know this so well.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
When you change ROMs, make sure you WIPE so that the new ROM gets a clean slate.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_happy_cannibal:
You should probably wipe your caches and even reset your user data when flashing a ROM. A backup app makes this a lot less of a pita than it sounds.

Nope, but you can have problems like this if you don't clean things up between ROMS.

I'll give this a shot but there are much more complete and better explanation than I am capable of.

The kernel sits between apps and physical hardware and manages the system resources.

The radio is firmware for the LTE, CDMA, etc. hardware in the phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanternslight456:
The pic shows a basic outline of a kernel.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layzie020:
So basically, a kernel is the driver that help run the OS. And if i flash a new kernel, it will have a direct effect on how my OS operates.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
basically. kernels are most often used to affect the way your cpu is utilized, affecting things like speed and battery life. they will not affect things like gps and calendars. those are caused by not wiping data. the easiest way to do this is to install the rom with rom manager. when you do it gives you the option to wipe data and cache, as well as make a complete backup of everything on your phone (including apps, data, homescreens, its basically an image of the moment on your phone). i cant help you with radios as im new to that topic as well. +1 to anyone who can give me a good description of that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
Kernels CAN screw up things like GPS and WiFi. Not on purpose of course but sometimes certain ROM and Kernel combinations don't get along.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micompcs:
Radio is basically what a previous poster said. When thinking radio think of signal. A cell tower broadcasts a signal to the antenna in your phone, and the radio is what turns that signal into reception. Its a piece of software, a bit like a driver, that regulates that interaction. You can turn on/off the radio, which cuts the 4g/3g/1x connection to your phone on/off.

so i'm a new fascinate user and not even 1 month in, i noticed my phone randomly reboots. as days pass, it looks like it's getting a lot more frequent. i also noticed that when i tap or hit my phone little hard, it reboots? is this common? i'm not rooted yet(just waiting for the gingerbread) or done anything to my phone yet. just recently updated to 2.2.1 and installed a sd card but that couldn't be it right? also calls get dropped a lot.

please help

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
As the thread title states, I'm looking for info on the steps to root my stock MT4g, and install the new ROM that's floating around. I'm pretty technically capable, but the info I've found looks slightly dated. When I was active in the iPhone jailbreak scene, using old directions could brick a phone pretty easy, or prevent future jailbreaking. I haven't kept up with this scene enough to be able to know what's dated and what isn't.

This is my current plan, please correct it if I'm missing anything or have it wrong.

(based on wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide)

I've got ADB going

I need a backup solution for app data right? What's my best option here?

Once backed up, I plan to install busybox, Superuser package & Temporary Root package via ADB

Use gfree to make that root permanent

Install ClockworkMod recovery

Reboot into recovery, and install faux123's ROM

Does that sound correct, and did I skip anything? Any input at all is welcome, I'd like to stand tall on the backs of giants.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
There are two popular methods floating around

You can either use the Root.sh method [

Found Here

]

Or the ./gfree method [

Found here

]

Either method will work perfectly. I've used both and can say with confidence they work.

The Cyanogen method can be goofy at times. I've see alot of people say they cannot get it working for them. I'd rock one of the two above. You shouldn't have a problem either way.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
Thanks a ton for the info, I'll go at it this evening. As far as backup process, I do the temporary root, use ASTRO to make a zip? Most of the data on my phone lives at google, but I'm wondering the best way to retain apps, or should I just make a list and reinstall from the store after flashing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
For backing up apps and data, use titanium backup. for backing up your whole phone, use the backup feature in clockworkmod recovery after you've flashed it via rom manager after permarooting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The best way to back up your Data and Applications is like mentioned above is Titanium Backup. The free version will work well but i recommend the paid one.

as far as a snap shot of the entire ROM incase you want to go back to it. reboot into recovery > backup/restore > backup. And it will do the rest.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
Well I made it halfway there, but didn't nail the whole thing. I've got permanent root access (yay) now, and was able to make backups via Titanium. I then rebooted the phone into "recovery" using the ROM Manager from Clockwork. First boot had a red exclamation mark, I unplugged the handset from the USB and tried a second time. After that, I was greeted with the Orange and black interface, and selected "restore to factory". I then started searching for the cache clearing, which changed verbage between 3.x and 4.x releases of Clockwork. After exploring the menus a little, the phone reboots itself from this screen. My blood-pressure goes up, and I worry my toy just became a b-word. Not all was lost though, and the phone happily booted into the stock t-mobile welcome wizard.

I still have superUser installed, and still have root (S=OFF I guess?). I install ROM Manager again, and do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (which now shows both current and latest recovery as ClockworkMod 3.0.2.4). When I choose Reboot into Recovery however, it reboots back to the MyTouch 4G logo screen (non-animated one), and hangs. After some reading I tried to force recovery boot via ADB, which produced the same result as the soft reset from ROM Manager. After that I tried doing it the manual way with holding the volume button, which launched me into what I believe is a stock recovery console (white with colored options, uses vol +/- and power to navigate). Choosing "recovery" from that screen *also* produces the white logo screen hang.

So my question now is, in it's current state; how can I get to the Clockwork recovery again? From there I bet installing the image will be easy street, but I believe I'm stuck for now.

Side-note: the phone functions fine on regular boots and pure vanilla mode; I just don't want to stop here when I'm pretty close to my 2.3 goal :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
Well good news and bad news. I was able to get Clockwork going by reverting it to 3.0.0.5 and just using that version. Was able to install ROMs, tested a few. Phone started freezing after/during installing packages. Started the clear cache/install ROM process, ran into this:

Flashing Kernal ...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/download/virtuous_fusion-glacier-rom-v1.0.9.zip
(Status 7)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14389074

Totally stuck at boot screen, but able to get into Clockwork. All ROM zips off the sdcard produce this or an invalid zip error.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
Other guy smight tell you what a status 7 might be, but with the flurry of flashing youre doing, you may have gotten some corruption on your sd

try formatting your sd card in the pc, or use another one so you dont have to back everything up on this one. put one rom zip on the root and see if that helps

also, i would make super sure you wiped/factory resetted every possible data/cache in CWM before flashing the zip

lastly, i would md5 test the download to make sure it matches the web page. Plus, after it's transferred to the cleanly-formetted sd, check it again either thru adb, or do the trans on the pc using an sdcard reader and check it once it's on the sdcard, then pop it into back your phone.

good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
Thanks a ton for the uber fast reply. When I format on the PC, what format do I use, or is there a specific tool to properly format it for the phone?

When I'm wiping /data it's taking forever and I get the following message back:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log

Don't have an adapter at the office today for the sdcard, but I guess I can just grab a new one at lunch? All it would need is a fresh format then the .zip of the ROM in question at the root?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Looks like your partitions are corrupted. Flash PD15IMG to restore the phone to stock, and progress from there.

When you format the SD card, just format it regularly in the PC.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
So I use the same PD15IMG.zip i did to start, flash it using Clockwork, then start the root > rom process over? I think that it currently tells me it can't find that zip anymore on the white screen pre console, is that expected? I just xfer it to the sdcard prior to fixing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, that's the right procedure. Move it to the card and start from scratch. Beware not to use the newer Panache/MT4G Gingerbread RUU, otherwise you'll be left with no way to root, or at least harder way.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
Ok, so I didn't have a PD15IMG.zip to begin with, I see this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059347

and that's proper that I'm flashing the radio itself for this process? Which of those images do I want to grab? I always like to double check when I read warnings that are pretty specific about bricking the device ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
No! You're flashing a stock recovery image called a pd15img.zip

The radio does not do a restore to stock, the reason you're confused is that in order to flash a radio for those who nmwish to do that, you rename it to the same name as the recovery zip, but it's really just a radio. It just happens to be the filename that the system looks for to restore. Look for the thread posted by either jjackson or football. That's the full image, just over 300 megabytes, or that neighborhood.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
Yup. Read the whole thread. Also look for football,s thread. There are a couple of mentions of undoing gfree first then doing the pd15img. I think jjackson tries to automate those two steps, and football thread just gives you a january-dated pd15img. I can't remember if you rooted gfree or not. Read read read. This is an important step but hundreds have gone back to stock this way without a hitch. That is if you have a good emmc, you have a better chance of avoiding problems...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars.oakland:
I rooted gfree originally, and think I may be in the bad place :(

Fail-PU errors running the update from pd15img. Do I have any options at this point? I bought the phone from Wirefly.com, and since I can't get a recovery image going, I may be fuct here on a return eh?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calishooter:
Ok! So i was running fresh 3.5 on my evo 4g and everything was running great. I decided that I wanted to add a battery percent on the battery indicator. I download a zip file that would allow me to do that...I put it on the root of my sd. I tried flashing it with clockwork mod 3.0 but it didnt let me cuz it came up with an error saying to update my binary and script. So i googled on how to bypass that error and it said to use the ra recovery(the other recovery program,i think thats what its called ) so i flashed ra with rom manager. I rebooted my evo and went into recovery and flashed the zip file then a couple of minutes later it said it was complete(no errors came up during the flashing process). I rebooted my evo after the flashing was done. This is where it starts getting weird! I turned my phone back on and after the white screen a black screen came up and didnt go away. After about a minute the phone vibrated about 4 times and the indicator light started flashing green. I couldnt power down so I had to take out the battery. I turned it back on and it booted up to the fresh boot logo. It tried to reboot itself about 3 times and without success the black screen came up and vibrated with flashing green light. Took the battery out for an hour then I booted it to the boot menu, went into recovery to try to delete the zip file and all it did was give me the black screen, vibrated and flashing green lights. I checked to see if s-off was still engaged and it wasnt. S-on was showing. I think some how that zip file made that happen. I have a nandroid backup. I dont have recovery and s-on is engaged. What should I do? This is the file that I flashed( smooth-sense_evo1.0.2_batteryonly ) Sorry if Iam posting this in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
