[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Hi again. :D Don't worry, this is the Q&A forum after all. ;)

I guess in theory flashing anything is risky, but it's very difficult to "brick" a DHD (i.e. make it completely un-fixable). I've flashed radios dozens of times, searching for that elusive perfect one. :) And if anything should go wrong (unlikely), as long as you have a working bootloader you can restore just about anything else. Just take your time and follow instructions written specifically for the DHD, the best ones are generally found in these forums.

By the way, you need to have Eng S-OFF (engineering bootloader) to flash radios in the standard way, do you have that yet? If not, jkoljo's tool for that is the best way, it has loads of fail-safes built in to make sure it works correctly.

To answer your questions, you can ignore the provider name (e.g. Orange, Cingular) - that just means the radio was released specifically for that carrier, but it often works well with other networks. For example the best radio for me on Froyo was the Cingular one, but I'm on Vodafone in the UK.

It's hard to tell you the best radio, as it depends on your network, location, etc. - for example one radio might use more power, and use more battery in areas with good signal strength (e.g. cities), but it would work better in areas with a poor signal. This is why some people flash different radios to test them.

It can also depend on which ROM you're planning to use. Gingerbread ROMs are generally built to work with the 28th April official radio, so I would suggest starting with that if you're on a GB ROM.

By the way, the key bit of the radio name that identifies it is the part after the underscore character "_", so for the

Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5

radio you can refer to it as the "26.09.04.11_M2" radio.

If you're on a Froyo ROM, I would start off with the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio Drakknar recommends. If you're on a Gingerbread ROM, I would start with 26.09.04.11_M2. If it works fine, you're done. Unless you're like some of us, obsessively searching for something just slightly better. :)

Just don't forget that if you flash a radio other than the one recommended for the ROM, you should also flash the matching RIL file. The radio thread has a link to the RIL thread. The RIL for the ROM's recommended radio will already be included in it, though.

Anyone else reading this should feel free to jump if they have any differing advice! :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christos312:
I already have ENG S-OFF and I am using a Gingerbread ROM more specifically TRUE SENSE 3.0 - i00 ROM 5.5 (Since Android version that my device reports is 2.3.3)

But I have some issues with creating and renaming folders on the Home screen, and I cannot report it as bug because I do not have the required posts :p

Anyway Thanks again for the quick and detailed answer!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Ah, that ROM does recommend the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio, I see what you mean, I assume they have included the relevant RILs so I would start off with that one. It certainly performed very well for a lot of people, despite being an older radio.

Good luck with your homescreen bug. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Hi all,

I'm thinking about flashing a custom ROM on my Desire, but I have some small questions.

Sometimes I see "WWE" in the title, Since I flashed winmo-roms with previous phones, I know that means world wide english. My current (stock) ROM supports a multitude of languages, you can choose one when you first start it. Are there ROM's that offer this feature?

Another question is about the type of the ROM. At a first glance at the list, I'm very tempted to choose a sense3-rom, because they look so nice. But at the same time I see a lot of sense2.1 and hybrid-versions of 2.1 and 3. Why is that? Are they more stable, or perhaps much faster?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Use the search and your questions will be answered.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmeer:
What MatDrOiD says... but for some quick answers:

Certain ROMs allow you to change the language to the ones you have at stock, the ROM-developer will state that information in the starting post for a ROM.

I haven't tried sense 3.0, but it's very likely that the sense 2.1 ROMs are more stable, and have certain features that you won't find in the 3.0 ROMs. Apart from that, the Hybrid ROMs use most of the shinny interfaces from 3.0, with a more stable base.

Hope that helped.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow79:
The hybrid ROM's are using sense 2.1 whit futures find in sense 3.0

The developers are still working to do a full port of sense 3.0 but is very difficult.

Until then we must be happy whit the hybrid ones.

I'm using one of this ROM's and I'm very happy whit it.

If you want to use one of these ROM's always reed the first post (there you find FAQ about the ROM, recommended partition size ...)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Also to add that the AOSP roms tend to be faster than sense roms in my experience, but it depends on your preference. Also I think they are updated faster to new versions of android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Okay, thanks for all the pointers, very usefull!

First off: I tried searching, but I got lost in the amount of results I got. I know, if I take long enough to read though the posts I will get the answers, but the sheer smount of search results is just overwhelming...

As far as flashing a ROM without Sense, I can understand where the advantage is in terms of speed or development time. But I really like Sense, I find it extremely intuitive to use, so I think I will stick with it. Thanks for the pointer though, stringer7!

I guess I'll read into the whole process of rooting and flashing for now. I like to be prepared well when I'm taking the chance of bricking my precious phone :) I saw some tutorials in the android development-forum, so I'll start there.

I've used a Transcend 4GB/Class6 and a Kingston 8GB/Class10 on my Optimus One.

Here are some minor problems i encountered with the Kingston Class10

1. Erratic behavior whenever I create an EXT partition (for Ungaze Data2SD or DT-App2SD purposes)

2. Using Antutu to benchmark the speed, it seems Optimus One tops at speed of 8MBps or Class8. Please confirm if you have a Class10 SD...

I cooked a ROM for tablet P4DV3 and I can not add data/app to get my favorite applications.

I put multiple applications on system/app, and many do not start the rom, so I put them in data/app to see if it works.

You know something?

Thx all.

Hi is my updater-script.

Use dsixda's Android Kitchen and run your ROM through that and select the option for enabling /data/app and then add your apps to there. The Kitchen will also properly handle your updater script.

I am on SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 ROM and the latest AUTOBUMP KERNEL that is floating around... what is the best SETCPU governor to use? I had it on SMARTASS for the main profile with 998/128 and then a screen off profile set to power save 245/245 but I noticed that it never went lower then 245 when the screen was on. Now I charged the main profile to ON DEMAND and it does drop to 128 at times like it should.. I sitll kept the screen off profile set to POWER SAVE and the charging profile set to performance....

Can someone on the EVO still on 2.2 recommend which governor for the main profile they use and which one for the screen off or charging profile they use.

Thanks....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
I use conservative for everything. Screen on is 998 / 128. Screen off is 128/245. Works fine.

FYI, if you use "Power Save" that overrides your numeric values and locks it on 128.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Annoying. Lugging around a bunch of batteries. That's not managing power. managing power would be something you do or the phone does to make better use of the power you have.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Annoying is having a mobile device that has to be plugged in for me. One battery in my pocket is hardly lugging lol.

If you were actually managing your power, it wouldn't have to be plugged in all day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Now there is an assumption.

Until I swapped to mikG I did have SBC and more havs. My phone usage is extremely high and I use it for both work and entertainment. I already mentioned above that I have a couple basic profiles set, however, due to the nature of my usage compromising battery life for performance isn't something I am willing to consider.

What more can I do aside from getting an extended battery?

Sprint Galaxy Tab Gingerbread ROM?

I am new to the concept of Flashing ROM's on my Android Devices.

I would like to take my Tablet from Froyo, 2.2.1 to Gingerbread or even HC if possible. I know that Spacemoose1 is working on the HC CDMA release, but it's not fully there yet. Good luck to her on that adventure!

Is there a way to upgrade to Gingerbread easily? Is there a 100% working GB ROM that allows for 3G, GPS, Audio, Accelerameter, etc. to work?

I'm looking for a release that will allow for all the pieces of my Tablet to work, only with a more recent ROM/OS.

Thank you for your patience with me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Okay, Ive just updated mine to gingerbread and all is fine. You will be able to too do it but one thing im worried about with your device, is it turning off during the flash and potentially bricking it. This depends on whether its a hardware fault, but we could see if its fixed by doing a factory reset - Turn the tab off, then once its off hold 'power and volume up' till it goes in to recovery mode. then use the volume button to go down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and then click yes, then go to 'reboot system'. Test your Tab out and see if it happens again, if it does then it looks like a hardware fault which needs sending back to Samsung for repair.

I've tried more than twice now, and I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't recover my backup. Last night for example, wanted to try another rom, a 2.3.4, I was quite happy with my mosaic setup, as usual, and I was running xcal's 2.0 kernel without issue so I backed up through cwm 3. Flash got me into a bootloop so I tried to recover the nandroid but it wasn't the right one. I chose the right date but the b/u was the rom that failed, the bootup screen. So I had to start from scratch to get the setup I liked. Of course when I tried to flash the new rom there were different kernels etc. But that shouldn't matter should it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried adb? Assuming that you usb debugging enabled, you should be able to do 'adb pull /mnt/sdcard .' and get a full dump of your card.

If not, i think that using Heimdall you could always flash a build with adb enabled and debugging on. You could also probably use Odin, but I am unfamiliar with it.

Finally, check with at&t online tech support and see if they have suggestions. My experience may be atypical, but I find them far more tech savvy than other at&t support staff.
