This went the wrong way...

The point was not to flame the forum with useless leaks..

It would be great to make LEAK thread and than keep it uptodate..
[Desire HD Android Development] Mikenif:
Im talking about the people not involved in that inner circle. They dont get a chance.

Ive send alot of chefs a pm about little issues i was having. only one that responded was Capychimp
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
funny. i have observed again the opposite. there are several new cooks here that got pretty fast help from anybody. in my case the only chef here that still enver replied to a pm was capychimp (not meant as offense, who knows why he didn't).

there never was an "inner circle".

but i must admit, that is what i observed during the past, myself not trying to start a rom myself. but i saw severel doing this.

but your claim only based on this small experience is to say the least very exagerating and provocative. to conlude that the devs here are not helping out and sticking to a inner circle just because you had bad luck with some pms is a bit... well you know what.

p.s. if you want a kind dev i can very recomend you lee.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S608 #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.

I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...

Subquestion is:

is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] koflem:
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.

Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.

But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
Thank you very much.

But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rycon:
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.

Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.

I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfighter172:
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
You can always use SpoofFW to flash to your original firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .

As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfighter172:
Thanks for your help what do you mean by 'spoof' fw
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Asterix040:
Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...

Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.

For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.

As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).

Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:

PDA - I9000BOJS5

PHONE - I9000XXJPY

CSC - I9000GCROJS4

so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.

I managed to find all files

except

CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.

Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?

Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.

Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?

I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).

Please help!

/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or the end of the world. Please do some research
* if you have any concerns about flashing a radio before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the
* finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */

How to Flash:

In order for this to work, the HTC Evo Shift 4G needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Evo Shift 4G.

Make sure the filename is PG06IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

Connect the HTC Evo Shift 4G to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb push PG06IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.

adb reboot bootloader

The HTC Evo Shift 4G will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.

The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.

Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Evo Shift 4G normally.

Freezing at splash screen after flashing in bootloader, for me. Battery pull and go back into bootloader and the radio version is changed. I'm using CM 7.0.3.1. Reflashing the ROM in recovery didn't work. Using the nandroid I did before flashing the radio update worked, though!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Flashed fine for me. Downloaded to phone. Copied to root of SD. Reboot to bootloader and have had no real probs. Thought I saw a couple graphical glitches on sense at reboot but flawless since.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
flashed with no problems for me.now to see how it performs
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Is this safe to apply over any ROM? Lets say CM7 nightly 75?

Sent from my EVO Shift 4G powered by CM7 while experimenting with NOVACANE!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
It should be safe. I flashed it while on the new gb sense leak and I'm now running a nandroid of cm7 I had. Confirmed much better signal n I see slight improvement in 3g service.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Thanks. Going to make a backup and try it.

Sent from my EVO Shift 4G powered by CM7 while experimenting with NOVACANE!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MrTrip:
Not flashing for me...says no image. I placed it in the root /sdcard/, this is correct right?

MD5 matches, file name is PG06IMG.zip and it is in /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

Just says

Loading...[PG06IMG.zip]

No image!

No way to really verify if its there either while in bootloader.........
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
That's what I did. Downloaded straight to my phone, copy/paste to root, then went into bootloader. Asked if I wanted to update.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MrTrip:
Yeah... It isn't happy with me for some reason :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
1.When I do this | C:\adb>adb push PG06IMG.zip /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip

2.I get this| 1288 KB/s (9481164 bytes in 7.187s)

3.Then I put the second part in| C:\adb>adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

4.Then I get this| md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/PG06IMG.zip': No such file or directory

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MrTrip:
There is a typo.

You named it PG05, it needs to be PG06.

Update the instructions in first post please.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
So just change the typo in my step 1?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MrTrip:
Type

adb shell mv /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

then

adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
It didn't flash. I'm still on 1.07.00.1129.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MrTrip:
Did you do the

adb reboot bootloader

then press power button?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Yea. It kept saying no image. I'll try it again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Do I need to be on a sense rom for this to work?

I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to want to work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
Ran the update and I can't get past the HTC flash screen after bootup. Restoring my nandroid backup right now; hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.

EDIT: Nandroid restore successful; I am now on the new baseband version. Seeing a pretty dramatic increase in signal strength; I checked before I did the update and was seeing -84 dBm in my bedroom. Right now after the update it's at -73 dBm. Be interesting to see how it is at work tomorrow. Thanks for posting this update!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
This is what I get when I go into fastboot

sorry for the bad quality

1st it fails then it goes back to the bootloader screen.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bigfdaddy:
Do I have to flash cdma then wimax or just wimax to update both?

You have to update both Radio first then wimax.

Ok ty cdma is new I came from GSM so I just want to do things right...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] WhiteReign:
I did every thing right but bootloader doesnt see the PG06IMG and I put this in the root of the SD card. It just does not see it. :( I am stuck now. :(

When you update are you on a sense rom?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Is 1.08.00.0506 the most up to date radio? I've been having issues with sprint signal lately (been sitting at the same desk for 6+ years, and same house for 7), and want to see if a newer radio would help me. If there is nothing newer, I'm going to start beating up sprint.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Yep, that's the most up to date radio. If your on Sense, you could try updating your profile and prl but not sure how much that will really help. For home, you could look into an Airave. I have one and its helped my signal tremendously.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
Thats the latest and last radio we have gotten for our phones.:)

EDIT: Crap Crump you type fast!!! :p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
It's those fat thumbs... :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
I will beat up sprint, as 8-9 months ago, I had fantastic 3G/voice signal. I used to get 1-1.5 mb/s at both home and work. Now, I'm going in and out of 1X, and getting "3G" speeds of 38-50 kb/s. I sometimes have no bars, and at home, I'm only getting 600k. Even my wife's phone will not be able to make/receive calls. We've been living in the same house for 7 years. It's the tower right by my house that has taken a dump, so I'm going to get Sprint to get off their @$$, and fix their damn network.

EDIT: The only thing that has not changed is the 4G signal. I have the same performance that I have always had.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CrashV2010:
When I unrooted last week. I said to my self....Hum I wonder if I don't upgrade the radio what kind of signal I would get..... the first radio for whatever reason is working better with my air rave.. I just did the 4g upgrade and that's all. All good.

On my Gingerbreaded Evo-Shifted Premium XDA App.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Neither of those radios worked for me...luckily I had the old one from downgrading process. I checked the files with 2 md5 checkers and it just didn't work. I was stuck at the HTC boot screen just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone else thinks they bricked their phone. Just load up the downgrade 2.2 rom that's sticked and reroot using the GUI. No problems
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
This is a known issue when flashing these radios. There's no need to run the RUU if you are stuck at the splash screen. Going into recovery and wiping dalvik and cache should let your phone boot. If not, you can restore your nandroid and keep the radios you just flashed. Obviously You need to remove the PG06IMG.zip from your sd to access recovery
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
All I did was a data factory reset in recovery before flashing the radio's...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] travanx:
When I got stuck in the boot, I put the sdcard into my computer and deleted the flash image.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jrny99:
I too have adb working and it says cannot locate the file, the file is in a short

cut folder for platform tools on my desk top and a copy on sdcard? can someone help a fellow

american out who's down on his luck :)

C:\>adb push PG06IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

cannot stat 'PG06IMG.zip': No such file or directory
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
You just have to navigate to the directory the zip is in, then adb push.

Btw, you don't necessarily have to push using adb but you do need to check the md5sum
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Evo_Shift:
I think if you flash the new radios while on a sense rom you will not get stuck at the white htc screen. If you're using an aosp rom you will get stuck and have to pull the battery. Just flash a sense rom quick before updating the radios if you're nervous.

This was true of me and my wife's shifts anyway.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
I had to update my radios again after re rooting (Sprint visit) and didn't have any problems while running cyclonic.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jrny99:
you know, i put the file on my sd card and booted into fast boot, it installed ok and rebooted when asked. my radio is 1.07.00.1129. is this the lastest ?

also do i put the adb push and check the md5sum at the same time or one at a time ?

thanks again

Man! Its that simple?!!? Sometimes I hate you guys! Lol I'm kinda new to the shift community....fresh off the hero boat and was over joyed to see kushdeck over here.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Worked out great! I had to use the old hero to get access to the sd card but I flashed the cdma then the wimax. Deleted them through the hero then nandroid back and I'm good to go! Now if only I could update my prl without a sense rom to my verizon/sprint hybrid prl id be in business!

Which one do I flash? Its my girl's shift, so I dont want to brick it.

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

Nevermind, just put them both in a zip together and booted via bootloader. Dont know why people chose to go the difficult route and boot via adb shell.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Really not that hard considering it's only like 2 or 3 commands. The main reason for me is because it's easy to check the md5sum.. The last thing I want is a shiny brick.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Black-Dash:
You're right, it isnt difficult. I got frustrated at one point because the command line kept saying there was no such file or directory. Thats why I went the bootloader route.

Help

I updated the radio and it send all was done and ask me to push power to reboot and when the phone came on it just stays on HTC splash screen. What can I do?

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Never mind I freaked out and posted then started reading and saw others with the same issue and had to recover my ROM all is good now but I have to build my phone back from back up just takes some time.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] letmeputdatipin:
Remove ur battery then ur sdcard. Power up into recovery (hold volume down + power) wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, then reboot. After reboot, power down again insert ur sdcard and power ur phone like normal and u should be all good. Just happened to me this morning and its all good now!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ghostman256:
a bit confused, once you flash the CDMA radio, do you flash the Wimax radio?

Oh never mind found out the answer buried inside the threads. I updated the CDMA Radio and then the Wimax radio.

My WiMax with no bars, went from 400kpbs to 2511kpbs, still no bars but so fast.

3g is still really slow, 200kpbs.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] androiddummy:
Have you formatted your sdcard in fat32? The bootloader doesn't read the default format of the sdcards.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
No, how do you do that, and does it erase my items on my sd card?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Done! I have tried everything with no avail. Can someone please make a recovery flashable zip for this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
You need to format ur card to fat32 for this to work, and yes it erases your card.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
Also, OP, the whole adb commands weird some people out, so bascially: just place this in the root of your SD card, with some sort of file explorer, format your card to fat32, make sure the zip is named correctly, and boot into bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
What kind of allocation size should I have?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gu1dry:
If you can't figure out how format an sdcard, a basic computer function, do you really think you should modify the firmware on a phone. Just saying

Sure you can do that, if you want to risk flashing a corrupted radio to your phone & bricking it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sapper3a:
OP has a typo. The file is saved as PG05IMG.zip. It should be 06
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sarspants:
Flashed it and stuck on white HTC screen. Running CM7 7.0.3.1. Fastboot shows the new radio. Doing a nandroid restore, update to (hopefully) follow.

[UPDATE]: Did a nandroid restore (after getting stuck at the HTC screen) and baseband version shows 1.08.00.0506. Seems like it worked!

Also, make sure your computer is handy. Once the image is on your SD card, you can't boot into recovery because fastboot takes over. So make sure you have your computer so you can take the image off your SD card and then do a nandroid restore if necessary.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Yea that's what I had to do last night. But I got everything working now. And I have much faster data speeds and better coverage now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] justbillz:
cant restore

every time i try to restore a backup it ask me to update the radio.. and when i say no the only other option is to reboot.. its stuck at the splash screen after that.. is there any way to fix this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
I would redownload the radio update and reinstall it and see what happens. What rom are you on.

I just put the file on my sd card's root. Did a fastboot, installed the radio image and removed the file off the sd card followed by a nandorid restore. Worked great on CM7 but havn't seen any drastic improvements yet so we will see.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] justbillz:
im on cm7 and how would i install it if i cant get to recovery mode??
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Can the new radio be hosted someplace else, even temporarily? My office computer or firewall has that link blocked.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sarspants:
You have to remove the PG60IMG.zip file from the SD card so that fastboot doesn't try to install it. Then boot into recovery as you normally would.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
I think op should edit the post

When u moved pg06img.zip to your sd card, from the instruction, there's a typo. You moved it and renamed it to pg05img.zip

Just go into ur sd root and rename to pg06img.zip and you'll be fine

I updated by putting on root of sd and letting bootloader do its thing, Then I had to jump through hoops to get my phone back because it stuck at the white htc screen so what I did was swap sdcards that way when I hit volume down plus power I could get to recovery then I wiped data cache and dalvik like I would to flash a rom, then I just rebooted that way I could atleast boot my rom, then I swapped sdcards again mounted to my pc renamed the radio image/ or remove it then I could nandroid restore my cm backup with updated radio
