[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancallahan:
Thanks very much for the reply! I do have a couple of issues...

Since I am at Tiamat 1.1.6, I don't have SD card support... I am just looking at whether there is a one-click for Tiamat 1.3.1, which would give me sd card support...

Also, my fastboot.exe worked previously and so I think that the problem is likely on the Xoom side, but I will look into getting a new fastboot.exe. I think it came with my Android SDk and I hope not to have to reinstall the whole thing! If it is on the xoom side, do you know of a way of restoring fastboot support on the Xoom?

CLARIFICATION: I realize that I am confusing "adb reboot bootloader" and fastboot.exe... sorry! What is the relationship? I am not currently runing fastboot.exe. Should I be? Is it an alternative to running "adb reboot bootloader" ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoryPG:
one-click dose cause many problems. Adb it via the guide above.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancallahan:
Just to clarify... the instructions at the link you sent refer to the need to have a microSD card (which I have), but to use it I would already need to be running Tiamat 1.3.1 or some other ROM that enables the micro SD card reader???? I don't think that I can flash those changes from my internal SD card, can I?

Thanks for any explanation!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancallahan:
I am confused... the guide looks really good, but it seems to require that "adb reboot bootloader" be working.

It is not on my machine. I may try to do another hard reset... ugggg.

Is there an adb guide that would allow me to go from a stock 3G Xoom to rooted without one-click? Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoryPG:
post 6 has instructions for a DB similar to the picture step-by-step guide I posted. Pick your poison. Once you upgrade to 1.31 via a DB, you can then upgrade to 1.42 via cwm. That's your simplest route.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoryPG:
Do you have fastboot.exe in your platform-tools folder on your PC. Note this step in the instructions. If you set everything up correctly, you should be okay.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancallahan:
Problem Solved!!!

As usual in these cases it was simple.... I just needed to ignore the error message and go ahead and run the commands to upgrade to 1.3.1.

Thanks for all of the help. With luck I will soon be done upgrading for a bit!

Best regards.

Thanks so much. After getting Tiamat 1.3.1 the fast BRD approach to getting to 3.1 worked wonderfully!!!! I am finally there... thanks again!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Hello - this is a pretty n00bish question but I have had a hard time finding the exact answer I was looking for on this threads and on Google. The Thunderbolt is my first Android phone, and I got it last week and already rooted it with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I also have WidgetLocker, Launcher Pro, and other programs to really customize the phone. I was playing around with the DAS Bamf Toolkit and I was noticing the CPU and governor settings. I was wondering what CPU settings and governor settings people use? Right now I have the default, which is 1.037 Ghz at max frequency, 245 Mhz at min frequency, and using the ondemand governor. I have seen a lot of people use the smartass governor, and I was wondering what the difference does - especially between interactive and conservative (powersave and performance I can guess at what they specialize in). What would be the best settings for optimizing battery life while still having good performance? I know a lot of people say to do your own testing and find out what works best for your phone and your needs, but I am just curious at what other people work at and how they like their settings.

Another question I have it about different kernels. Right now I am using the kernel that came with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 (2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)), but I know some people have been using Imoseyon's kernels. Do people find their phone more or less stable when using Imoseyon's kernel on Das BAMF instead of using adrynalyne's kernel? (I figured since he was one of the people who developed Das BAMF, his kernel would work best, but it seems to me a lot of people have been mixing/matching).

One final random question that I thought of while writing this thread, I also only ever flashed Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; I never flashed any new radio or anything like that because at first I assumed it came with the ROM, but reading some threads on the forum, it seems that comes separate, and I am not sure if the stock/leaked radio is better/worse for battery or if it works with the ROM.

Again, sorry if these sound like very amateur questions but I just want some clarifying on these things and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Expiramenting with what combination works for you is the best idea, HOWEVER, always backup what works, and make sure you have the right radio for the ROM you're flashing. Three quarters of what makes this fun is funding out what will and will not make your phone better. The other half is learning how to fix what you just broke.

Also, In my expierience, overclocking to anything over 1.6ghz causes problems.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
heres a list of readios ---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 im on das bamf 1.6.3 with the first one on this list and it works great. also im on that same kernel overclocked to 1280 max and 368 min and i have great speed and battery life (also using setcpu and underclocking to 368 max when screen off so thats probably why :D). using the ondemand governer. never tried smart ass but heard good things. the conservative is good for saving battery i use it on my screen off profile.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Awesome, I am going to try to flash that radio... Is it bad that I am not flashing it around the time I flashed the ROM, or would that still be fine? And again, I am sorry if this next question sounds amateur, but to flash it, I would just copy the PG05IMG.zip to my SD Card, reboot my phone in Bootloader (or Recovery?) and install the radio from there (assuming I first wipe the cache/dalvik, or do I need not to do that for radio?).

My battery life is fine, I have the extended battery and I get about 31 hours (but I am on Wi-Fi a lot instead of 3G, which I heard is better for battery, and I am not that heavy of downloading/games), but I heard people getting 2+ days, so maybe flashing this newer radio may show improvements, who knows, ha.

I will have to download SetCPU, because at first I thought you can only change the CPU settings on the Das BAMF Toolkit, but it looks like SetCPU has a lot more options. Dak_181, when you say you have great battery life/speed, how much out of your battery do you get?

BACKUP when making these changes. 10 minutes can save you an hour.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Right, I use Nandroid and Titanium Backup - if I were to flash a new radio as well as Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel, should there be an order I do it in (radio first, then kernel, or kernel first, then radio?), or does it not matter?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
smartass is interactive gov with some tweaks (interactive makes the CPU clock up faster when you interact with the screen) and basically does a conservative screen off automatically. i think the max clock speed on the TB Is like 400 while the screen is off. i might be wrong on that number but you get the idea.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw33:
InteractiveX sets the cpu @ about 250 ish when the screen is off. That is the lowest idle state for the most part, I did however see some testimg trying to get 184mhz to work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
it doesnt matter when you flash the radio, and you dont need to wipe data or cache. to install put it on the root of your sd card and reboot into.. recovery? whichever one you get to by powering off then holding down volume and power untill it starts up. it will find the update and install it automatically then reboot. make sure to delete it from sd card right away or youll get problems next time your flash anything. and i got about 15 hours with the stock battery and pretty consistence use in a low coverage area (bouncing between 1x and nothing all day).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
15 hours with NO 4G I presume? I got about 8 hours of medium use in a good 4G coverage area. I am running BAMF 1.63 with BAMF Toolkit CPU on SmartAss gov. No overlooking.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Does it make a big difference to install the kernel first or the radio first? Also, does anyone think they find better results using Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel on Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, or do they find using the stock kernel for that is best since it was made for that ROM?

And thanks for all the help about installing!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegeebo:
I am getting ridiculously good battery life and performance with Das Bamf 1.6.3 and Imoseyon's leankernel 2.5 running on extreme with custom undervoltage and interactiveX governor.

One of the key contributors to my battery life is the custom undervoltage. The leankernel extreme is already undervolted, but to be compatible with more TBs it isn't undervolted as much as it can be. After the tweaks i made, which included setting the min clock speed to 368 since I have it using the same low voltage as 245 (750 mv).

I have heard that smartass also gives great battery life with imoseyon's kernel, but since interactiveX has been so good I have had no desire to switch.

I hope that helps!

thats right. it was part wifi and part 1x/nothing. i have crappy service in my area. also recently learned that having task killers is useless on the thunderbolt and its actually draining my battery. gonna see if it changes without it today
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
If I were to install the radio using ClockwordMod Recovery (I guess the option to install .zip from SD Card), and it happens there is something wrong and I want to go back to the stock radio I had, would that be where Titanium Backup/Nandroid comes in play, or do they not backup radio stuff, and I would have to find another .zip of the stock radio?

(Again, sorry if this sounds n00bish, I am just very new to this and I want to be sure I know what I am doing, I appreciate all the help I am getting here, it is awesome :))
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
I know about managing the CPU clock, but what is undervolting do? I don't have that option in my ROM, so do I have to download it somewhere?

What exactly the SmartAss governor do?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Yeah, I second lanwarrior, I am confused at how exactly to undervolt my phone? Is that just in the CPU settings when you go and change them in SetCPU or Das BAMF Toolkit?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akstyle450:
Radios, have to be renamed to that special name(PG..... Whatever it is lol) and on the root of the SD card. Then you go to hboot (power + volume down when booting) and it will automatically scan for the file and ask to install if it does.

Trying to install the radio from recovery won't work to my knowledge because it can't update the radio that way I believe, only through hboot.

And to revert back to an older radio, there is plenty of radios out there to try and see which one works. If you are planning to upgrade to the new gingerbread radio that was leaked, I'd highly suggest you wait as because of the recent(today) rumors of it super bricking phones. If I left anything out about the radio, feel free to ask.

About the kernels, I'm not too sure about. I do know about the governors mostly, as for the underclocking , it just means that people are making their lowest CPU speed (the Min CPU setting mostly) go lower than normal, pretty much like the concept of overclocking. Kernels tend to be the same but tweaked in many different ways, like how the voltage is and how specific you can be with setting a specific CPU speed.

Some kernels also have more/better tweaks making them faster and more battery efficient.

Best thing to do, is mix and match these things to find the one that you find that works best.

And one last note: ALWAYS MAKE BACK UPS.

I have learned that multiple times by now, especially when screwing around with that stuff :P
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Awesome, thanks so much for your help. I just recently found this thread as well that gives good explanations on how to flash using ABD (I am not using their radio, but their instructions are nice: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048128). I still might just copy it on my SD card and then try through Bootloader, the way you described (sounds a little easier to do). And no no, I was not planning on doing the GB radio - I am staying away from GB ROMs and that of sort until the actual release of it and people have been using the ROMs for a bit and know it is stable/will not brick the phone - I am fine with Froyo for now. :) I plan on just installing the first radio link here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048128, which is the 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo - I have been told that works fine, but knowing my luck, something might go wrong, ha).

Based on some threads I have been reading, Imoseyon 2.5.1 kernel seems to work very well and seems to have no problem with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I think I might try installing the radio tomorrow, then the kernel, then installing SetCPU and playing around with the SmartAss governor a bit since that also seems to be popular (even though I am not 100% on what it does yet, ha, but I guess I will find out).

I currently get around 31 hours of battery life (with extended battery) on mainly just Wi-Fi and doing minimal downloading and doing some texting/calls, which seems good, but I feel there are a lot of people getting even more so I might try to get more out of my battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akstyle450:
Well like I said, find what works best and always backup! Haha. I went through a couple different radios to find the best one for me. The other one I tried, would make me reboot a couple times a day randomly. And now the one I'm on, not a single reboot since it has been installed.

But others say it the other way with this one rebooting and the other working, so just gotta find the best.

And don't forget to delete the radio off the SD card root ASAP just in case you get stuck rebooting and need to go to recovery. (Only way to get in without fully booting is through hboot, which will try to install the radio every time only unless it is deleted. ) believe me I have been stuck in a bootloop with a radio on the SD card lol. Only way around it was use my sisters phone to delete the radio from the SD card :P
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Oh jeez, thanks for the advice. If you do not mind me asking, which radio are you using/which one gave you the random reboots a day one? Which ROM are you on (if you are rooted)?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akstyle450:
I'm using the last radio listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045081

(The one about the alpha gingerbread build link)

And as far as I know, the 1st one gave me some reboots. But each phone can be different so that's why I said to find the best one for you.

Oh and the Rom I'm using is das bamf 1.6.3 (reverted back to this because of the gb radio issue)

Love the Rom

And lastly, I'm just using the stock kernel that came with the Rom lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Wasn't the GB radios the ones that were giving people some bricked phones?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
Ya the GB radio has been giving people a lot of problems so unless you want to do some serious tweaking id avoid it. im on das bamf 1.6.3 and using the latest radio from the link that was listed earlier (1.13.605.7 cmda/lte i think) and i havent had a single reboot or other problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Wow, I am actually pretty dumb - a thought just occurred to me that because I bought my Thunderbolt last week, I might not to flash the new radio because I probably have it, and behold, I do... Baseband 1.16.0402w_1 and Build number 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_Remix_1.6.3... Haha, wow, I feel stupid. I guess I am just going to install a new kernel (I assume just put the .zip in the root of the SD card, go to ClockworkMod and just find the option to install update from .zip?) and then play around with the SmartAss and other governors.

EDIT:

To anyone who looks through this thread, I updated my kernel to Imoseyon's 2.5.1 with Das BAMF 1.6.3 and it works very smoothly - if anything, I noticed things run a little bit faster. I installed SetCPU and I set my CPU to InteractiveX. I will try this out for a while and then go back and try out SmartAss and see if I notice a difference. Thanks for everyone who helped!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WhiteSites:
After suffering some major connection issues and dropped calls, I called T-Mobile to *****. They were actually pretty cool with the fact that I had rooted my HD2 and loaded Nandroid on it. They said my problem was due to the fact that I had a 2G Sim Card. They said I needed to visit a T-Mobile Store and have them swap my card out with a 3G Sim Card. Its free to have them do this. This actually solved many of my connection problems. I now get excellent 3G / H signal in places where it would normally drop off to Edge. If you don't know which card you currently have, all you have to do is take out your sim card and look at the Gold Contacts. Check out my blog for photos showing the difference between the two cards.

You can push any prl you want to the phone. Since we have diagnostic access thru *#*#8778#*#* then hit "modem" on the bottom selection. This will allow qpst to recognize it. If on windows 7, go to device drivers and look under "modems" to find your phone. Open properties and look for COM. It will have a number. Then open qpst. Hit "Add Port" and input what COM you saw. Prl will be under "service programming". Hit "write to phone", and finally browse to that .prl file.
