I was wondering how to do this since I need to update my radio to install CM7. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
Hey can you use this guide when trying to flash a ruu? It never works when trying to flash a RUU because of Model ID incorrect... I am stuck in bootloader because of that...
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
I have tried that before and it did not seem to work... All it did was install the HBOOT and radio from the RUU and then it rebooted my phone...So essentially all it did was revert my phone back to S-ON... I will keep playing around with RUUs and will release a guide if/when I figure out how to flash them.

Glad I helped you out :)
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
Yea I am stuck in bootloader because I was running Gingerbread and when I try to go back to my stock RUU I can't because it is Froyo and I receive "Main Version is Older" error...
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Reflash a Gingerbread radio... Unfortunately it is currently impossible to downgrade your radio from Gingerbread to Froyo... It will put you into a never ending boot up loop.

Wait... Are you saying you successfully flashed a GB RUU? How?
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
No it doesn't work... It was only when I was S-Off that I installed Android Revolution rom and that upgraded me to gingerbread... Well after that I accidently did a hard reset which removed my S-off and I am now stuck in bootloader with ***Security Warning***. The only way to fix it is by flashing a stock RUU but since this is Bell IncS only Sasktel rom works and I cannot flash that because I get the error "Main Version is Older" error.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Noob here. What's RUU?
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
I don't know what you can do to fix that, unfortunately... Post a question in the general forum and hope that someone can help you out with more information...

Edit: :O maybe that's why the RUU didn't complete the installation and rebooted my phone! The radio was newer then the version in the Optus RUU?!?! Omg that might have been my problem...

RUU is an acronym for ROM Update Utility... It is an official update for the phone which makes it as though it was new and seem like it was never tampered with(no root, no custom recovery, not custom HBOOT, returns you to S-ON, etc).
[HTC Incredible S] you_eeeeeediot:
I believe this has been posted elsewhere, but if you are unable to flash your radio AND you are already ENG S-OFF the following works perfectly.

Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WIWVHF7O

Make sure HTC Sync is installed

Extract ZIP to a folder and from that folder run the following:

1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled

2. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"

3. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

4. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
​

This works on any version of the IS, including the Canadian one. I included the recommended radio, however any radio can be used by replacing the radio.img file.

Other radios here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14834003&postcount=1
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Yes, I know, but this makes it so that ENG S-OFF is not required as it is a little bit overkill... Plus, I used this as my basis in an attempt to installing RUUs on the Canadian version of the IS, since I was told it is not possible unless I XTC clip it... I proved those people wrong. :)
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
It doesn't seem to work for me.

I edited the android-info.txt file, re-zipped and placed the file onto the sd card. When I reboot into hboot, it says "Loading PG32IMG.zip" then "Parsing" then nothing else happens.

EDIT: Never mind, I got it to work using the other method.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Ahh, I see! Thanks for the explanation!!
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Hmm... It didn't work for me either. I still get the same error...
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Yes, it seems ENG S-OFF is needed for this work. I updated the orginal post with the information.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Ah, ok! I will try it!
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
That worked for me! Thanks!

This works to obtain SuperUser privileges for the app, but any other commands like "cp" or "mv" just plain don't work.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bloody86:
Hi to everyone!

I bought my x10i few days ago and I wanted to install some good custom ROM, and than I tried to root it with this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907

After troubling for few hours to get to the first step because of Win 7 x64,

when I finaly manage to get run first step and finish it, phone was unable to boot!

When I press pwrbtn to turn it on, green led turns on for a second and phone vibrate for a second blank screen is all the time, after maybe 30 seconds phone just stats to vibrate endlessly!

So in attempt to recover my x10, first I was used FlashTOOL and "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24" firmware and after that same thing on beginning with short led light and vibrate, than a little progress screen does turn on but after while starts to changing colors and behave like strobe flashlight and that's it no further progress!

Same thing and with "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504" firmware!

I don't know what to do please help me!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Me first....

Move this to the correct forum please,

I am sure you will get more help in the q&a forum

PS, you need to run flashtool

or download SEUS or pc companion and get back to stock before trying again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bloody86:
gregbradley thank you for quick reply!

As maybe you can see I'm novice here, so I don't know how to move this to q&a forum!

As I already post in previous post I'w already tried to flash stock rom using FlashTool and no luck to me!

And I tried SEUS to update it and I got a message " Your phone is already up to date"

I really don't know what to do now, I'm running out of options!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
me second ... ( sarcasm ) {

no f***ing clue why would you flash with oldest fw Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24 when flashtool can root even the latest one.

did you notice that button "root" in flashtool 2.9.x.x here is tutorial in my version:

1. you enable debug mode. last time i used it it was somewhere in settings menu ...

2. see that pointer on your screen that is called mouse you move that with that small device on desk.. right on top of that button.. and you click action button if you are right handed you click right button on that small device and if you are left handed you click left button on that small device. some text will show on flashtool and after few secs it will reboot your device. no worry it is normal no need to call 911. after boot device will be rooted.

}

p.s.

flash latest fw you can find it on xda with flash tool

and do root again using method mentioned before...

Chumby_666

thanks for so much detailed response but don't you think it's a little to much details?

Yes I know that flashtool can root the phone, but it was already to late whe I was find out, I was already brick the phone so I can't turn it on now!

davelinders

I'w already tried all those firmwares for X10i and no luck! I'm hopeless now!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
When you use SEUS you should get an update button or repair button or install button anyway.

If not download the latest version of pc companion from SE and try that.

Whenever i "brick" my phone (You cant really brick an x10) I always do that and even when I have "latest" software there is an option to install anyway and that works...

Then use flashtool

1. click root

2. let it do its thing

3. click ask root permissions

4. click on xrecovery.

Then you are ready to go.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Octanum:
Alright, so can anyone clear up what a baseband actually is?

I assume that you can flash any baseband, but there's no guarantee that your phone model (x10a, x10i) will actually have a signal with it. However, I've never seen a list or anything that shows which basebands are compatible with which models.

Basically, I just want to know which ROMs I can flash without having to worry about my phone not getting a signal. I always see that certain basebands aren't supported in some ROMs.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasei:
The only way to be sure will be just trying it for yourself. Besides as long as the flashtool works on your phone you can flash any baseband packages, as many times as you want. If you want to be conservative, find which firmware supports your carrier or which one is "generic" and choose the baseband that comes with it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11379826&postcount=3

In the U.S. just about any baseband works with my X10a.

I've used bb 46, 49, 52, 54, 58, 65 & 67 (can't remember them all) and I never had any signal issues. The only issue I had with different basebands had to do with txt messaging. On some of them I had trouble sending & receiving text messages, the most recent one being BB 65 which ironically was suppose to be for at&t phones :D:D.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timchew:
I have never any issue too with BB in my country, been using 52, now on 67.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Baseband is controlling all the wireless connections on the phone, be it mobile network signal, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

There's some confusion around basebands, you'll often read "Baseband xx makes my phone smoother" etc. This is not entirely true, since it just controls connections. However, of course, it's tied to the whole system.

As far as stock 2.1 firmware goes, you can use any baseband from .49 to .67 with any version. I remember I used .58 with the very first 2.1 SE version, .504.

Custom ROMs usually are built with some certain baseband or baseband group compatibility and it is normally declared in the OP of the ROM thread.

Baseband groups are: .49-.52 and .54-.67. The biggest difference between those two is that the first one is half-duplex baseband and the second one is full-duplex. That means that with the first batch, you can't have simultaneous mobile network connections (eg, 3G data transfers and calling) but with the second one you can. This is why some people faced problems sending multiple SMS on .49 and .52.

I hope I cleared things out for you!

After flashing CM7, I've been having trouble with my data network. I have bars, I can make calls and text, but I've never seen a 2g or 3g symbol in my status bar. Sending or receiving MMS is impossible. I've seen snippets of similar problems in some other threads, where they couldn't use their data plan at all. Baseband switcher doesn't work when I select any of the USA Tmobile basebands.

Has anyone had similar problems? Maybe even a solution?

Other info:

Yes, data over mobile network is enabled.

I flashed UK Froyo Retail 2.2.2, and applied CM7. I'll flash Nordic later and reply.

I do not have a data plan, but an unlimited texting plan, so I should be able to send MMS.

Update:

---------------------------------------------------------

Flashed Nordic SBF, and data initially worked fine when I applied CM7. However, after some reboots, restoring some apps, I don't know when exactly but I lost it. Just bars again.

Tried applying some USA T-mobile basebands, and none of them gave me data.

Not true at all. I've been sending picture messages on stock Froyo without any problems at all.

That's what I'm thinking.

Back when CM7 was in beta, I still had this issue, with Nordic as my sbf. I flashed back to stock and whoop-dee-do, I had 3G.

When Quarx released his RC, I thought that my problem would have been fixed already. In my paranoia, I thought that if I had a UK Tmobile sbf, I wouldn't have any problems. I still do though. I'll flash Nordic when I can, and come back with the results.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem before.
[Defy Android Development] dayu80:
You need to use the basebandswitcher tool to select a US T-Mobile baseband before you can use the 3G network.
[Defy Android Development] Zinshin:
I flashed Nordic, the one in the FAQ. I got data now.

Thanks.

For me, with RC1, often when leaving a WiFi area, data will simply not work unless I completely reboot the phone. *sometimes* switching between 2g and 3g will get it working again.

I live in Austin and I started having that problem starting tuesday Afternoon.l My phone running MIUI 1.6.24 was working fine till then, and then started dropping signal, switching to edge and entering "emergency calls only mode a lot".

I used baseband switcher to switch to a different baseband, but the only way I could access data was with the original MIUI 1.6.24 ROM and even then, only edge.

I tried reflashing the T-MO US SBF as well as the nordic SBF, and I don't get any data any more.

I am going to try to flash CM 7 to see if I still have the problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler:
Hi All,

Need some advice about the Galaxy S. I am a Nexus S user and would love to get my Girlfriends Galaxy S running better if not as well as my Nexus S. I have tried to get the galaxy S running well but now I think I have done all I can to optimise the stock ROM it has onboard!

I know that for the SGS you must use Odin to flash new ROMs – any warnings to me being a NS user with our easy CWM flashing? I will of course be doing a Nandroid backup of her current ROM in case things go wrong :) Currently the SGS is rooted and running a branded O2 2.2 Froyo Rom. I have Lag Fixed it using OCLF (Not great I know, but its not my phone I can't always fiddle with it to update it!) and tried to remove bloat using Titanium Backup.

The advice I would love is – which ROM do I put on her phone, when she isn’t the most tech savvy person. I figure there are 3 main options (but feel free to correct me!) for a stable and quick ROM that I won’t have to keep touching and updating or fixing:

Stock 2.3.4 (JVP?)

Nice because it’s stock and from what I’ve read it seems to run fast and is the latest version of phone android like on my Nexus

Darkys ROM

Seems to be a nice option – fast stable and tweaked (a fixed version of stock really no?), but perhaps it has too many options for my non tech savvy GF to be using?

Cyanogen Mod

Only reason I resist this is because it is probably too much of a shift away from the Samsung experience my partner is used to - I would prefer it (I have a nexus so naturally!) but I doubt my girlfriend would appreciate the change. Also it seem CM isn't quite ready for the SGS yet...

Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated! :D I have searched a lot about the SGS, but not having the phone myself, I figure it might be best to ask users of their opinions and steal your advice! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solar666:
As this one is for your girlfriend and you are planing already with a "stock" ROM you should for sure go for the latest 2.3.4 Android Version in JVP.

I personally would never go for a "stock" but this is just my personal opinion since I am daily with the phone and can repair things by my own.

Related to ODIN there is not much to say if you read all the guides completely.

I flashed my phone many, many times even using seperat kernels and removing thing before, adding and changing scripts without brick the phone.

Try to safe the EFS dircetory is the only thing I would recommend if it is not mentioned in the guides before doing a flash.

Hope it helps for your decision.

Thanks to you all for your help! I think I am going to go for a stock 2.3 based rom either JVP or JVQ - probably JVQ as google talk video works with it, and now skype video works too - both of which she wants.

@solar666

Thanks I'll definitely be following the guides to the letter - and yeah an EFS backup is also on my to-do list!

@doomsdaycs

Battery Life is very much important, but having seen some youtube videos of Darky's rom, I think the interface & option changes & colours might be too much of a shift - I'd prefer it though!

@acejacksooted & @carvax

Id love to leave it alone, but she complains that it isn't responsive like my nexus and lags sometimes - so I don't have much choice but to deal with it!

@slaphead20

Is there much of an advantage to a deodexed samsung rom? Also, I hope you don't use your phone to chat up all women that way :P

@bisko69

Is Juwe's rom that different from samsung's roms?

@Mothatt

Yeah I think that's the way I will go - safe! :)

Again, seems like the best option at the moment. Thanks!

Seeing that your GF rom is still in Froyo, isnt it better to upgrade it to at least stock Gingerbread?

Perhaps you can flash a stock deodexed rom, flash a kernel for root and CWM (i recommend SpeedMod), then flash a theme from the theme forums that you think she will like.

maybe you can even make a theme for her based on what she likes ;)

conclusion: Stock rom with custom theme, if she like to stay on stock samsung experience and a nicer UI :)
