Let me get this straight.

This is the OTA without any modification short of busybox/root.

In short, the only difference between this and taking a OTA would be root added in?

Correct?

Normally I run a Team GPT rom, but I need a stock MR2 for comparison/troubleshooting...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I believe you are correct sir ...

The bloat in this is ridiculous though!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sf4:
Works for me. I was using a stock ROM. I wiped the Dalvik cache and flashed the radio and ROM without wiping.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JoeyDVDZ:
So maybe I'm not tracking here, but is this rooted?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Retrokid223:
yup its rooted :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ahodson1985:
I'm confused about flashing the radio..I can't just flash it through CWM? I flashed the rom, but now what do I do with the radio? Flash the .zip via fastboot in adb? Do I have to unzip the files and flash one of the images? Would really appreciate if someone could give me more in-depth instruction

Edit: Nevermind, youtube to the rescue. It seems I have to change the name of the file to match the file that the bootloader searches for and have it load that way. Thanks though!

If I'm not mistaken gingerbread and sense 3.0 are two different software platforms. HTC said the Thunderbolt can not handle sense 3.0 Were they ever wrong....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ProTekk:
Gingerbread = Android Operating System 2.3.4

Sense 3.0 (or any version of Sense) = User Interface

Totally different.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jjlean:
This is signed and just unrooted my phone.

Edit: until I rebooted. Roots back. Wtf?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rygel411:
Has anyone tried this with cm7 yet? The radio specifically. I'm wondering if its the rom that improves the 4g or the radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] UndergroundWire:
I gotta say that my battery life seems to be improved. I've been running for almost three days now and noticed that.

Although I never had the reboot issue (in fact no one I know in NYC with a Thunderbolt has had it, must be a regional thing) I am loving the new toggle switch for 3G and 4G under the Wireless & networks under settings.

I have yet to get a desktop dock for this but I will see the landscape option when I receive the dock tomorrow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Also on a side note, I love how the Verizon Support PDF for this update shows the wrong picture of the Thunderbolt. The Boot screen is different now. For starters the screen turns black with the Thunderbolt logo and the 4G LTE logo is not red anymore, it's white. Just a silly observation.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
Thanks for the ROM.

Stock Froyo still kicking GB's ass. Froyo makes GB (thus far) look like "Windows Vista" of Google
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stastnysnipes26:
Can I flash just the radio over BAMF 2.1? I don't want to go back to a stock ROM. Also if I do flash only the radio over BAMF 2.1 should revert to a stock kernel? If yes, where can I find one?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
Anyone know why the radio file on this post has a different MD5 than the one in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160346

They both appear to be the same thing? No?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] periclytes:
Using it with CM7 RC1.2 and 4G. I don't know about improvements because the last few days I've had no data connectivity (have an open support ticket with VZW about this) but today I had consistent 4G.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jjlean:
They added a tethering guard. Froze that.....lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
I doubt it is that simple... let me know if you get busted.

I froze it as well (noticed it first in the mr2 leak), but did not look into how it operated.. Anyone want to pull it apart and see what it does?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jjlean:
For sure. Will do. Hopefully someone smarter than I will be able to figure out what that is.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sen.droid:
Just to verify.....very new to rooting....i have a tbolt stock with yhe 1.70.605.0 sw. So the radio and rom at the beginning of this thread are the ones I need to root my tbolt? Thanks for any info provided
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MePascal:
With the info you have provided looks like you took the OTA update which suggest to me that you are not rooted with S-On (Signature). The Rom at the beginning of this thread would require you to have already been rooted. Therefore you will need to learn how to root your device first. (Found Here) After you are rooted you will then have an opportunity to download ClockworkMod Rom Manager from the Android Market.

Once this app is on your Thunderbolt I would then suggest to run a Backup through Rom Manager. After that you could then download this rooted Rom and flash it through ClockworkMod.

I have left out other facts that you will need to search out on your own before you take on the task of rooting your device. I did this intentionally so that you will have a better understanding of rooting :D.

All the answers you need are in this forum. I suggest you take some time to understand step by step what it is to root your TBolt.

My first bit of advice would be to understand what is ADB/SDK tools and how it will interface with your device. Find some tips Here

Good Luck!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StephenMilone:
im curious as well
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgalan14:
Maybe cause it was made by a different person, md5 signature is made per device made, so if this member did one and the other one did the other one then that's how you get two different md5
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rockon83:
Installed this on my rooted Thunderbolt with what I believe was the original firmware that came with the T-Bolt. Worked great.

I'm just curious.. What was changed from the original OTA to create this version? Why is this one ok to install on my rooted T-Bolt, but not the official OTA? Isn't the root (s-off) in the bootloader? How can a ROM itself be rooted?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgalan14:
It takes off the image of the recovery , it will flash a new one so s off will be come s on as stock and they just add the goodies like busybox and superuser , so you rooted :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jackoutside:
Hey guys, thanks in advance for the help gleaned from this thread...

I'm rooted and running the stock rom, build 1.13.605.7, the older OTA that we received.

I'm rooted only to run wireless tether. The stock hotspot app keeps on forcing the phones data connection to cycle, wireless tether works like a champ! (I'm paying for the hotspot fee, I just want a reliable connection)

Three quick questions:

Can someone who is running this please confirm whether this rom is completely stock or whether it is debloated?

Why would I need to flash the radio, was the radio updated in the last OTA?

Can anyone who uses wireless tether as their primary source of internet connection as I do, confirm that it works as flawlessly as it does on my current build.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
Completely stock.

Radio was updated in the ota

Wireless tether works for me fine

Via my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jackoutside:
Didn't they add the tethering guard apk? Is that suppose to block wireless tether?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
I froze it with TB and hadn't had a issue...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] baronmxc:
I actually didn't need to freeze the tethering guard for the Wireless Tether to work. I assume this only applies to the stock Mobile Hotspot application
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobsbbq:
I have flashed this ROM and I seem to only see 3G signal where I know I'm in 4G LTE areas. Is there something changed or do I need to change something?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
Download "LTE OnOff" from the Market. Then go and set preferred network type to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jackoutside:
Yep, same here. 4G is not as consistent as it was prior to the update, and I'm in solid 4G area.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jjlean:
Any kernels for this yet? Also, is this considered gb? I may go back to mr1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] greenemage:
Same problem. Phone has been stable but 4G has been horrible since I installed this last night. Is there a different radio we can install that will work with this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] converge12:
installed this radio with omfgb and i am getting more consistent 4g speeds. takes longer to pick up 4g after a reboot but it isn't too bad..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] greenemage:
Still no luck on 4G since this update, just goes in an out, and even when it's working it crawls. If I use LTE OnOff to switch to 3G that works fine, but I'm in a solid 4G area and would like to use it. Even tried updating my radio to 2.5 with the same result. Been trying to stick with rooted stock ROM, but I might have to break down and try a different one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] converge12:
is this the widely regarded best and latest mr2 radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] streetracer8605:
so would this look to vzw like the official update if you were to call in for support?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] streetracer8605:
for anyone wondering if this looks to vzw like the official ota update, it does. luckily my fiance and i both have thunderbolts so i was able to test this, since no one was able to answer my question. i downloaded the ota update to her phone, and applied this to my rooted on and vzw didn't see anything different when helping us trouble shoot our phones today.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] natenate360:
So I installed this ROM yesterday because I want to keep root and was tired of my phone constantly trying to grab the OTA w/o my permission. and i like it so far (i'm into stock with minor customizations).

I did a flash radio, flash Rom and wipe data. Titanium backup restored my apps settings (though it didn't restore everything). Now I've got stuff the way I want it and last night my phone tried to install the update again. !?

I'll be okay if it doesn't try it again... But when I started installing my recovery app from asurion, the phone tried to make me go through the setup again.

Any ideas or reasons why I shouldnt just go to CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Still holding out hope for a custom kernel...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
Anyone able to do that "Advanced Power Options" mod for this rom? The mod that adds Silent mode toggle, Vibrate mode toggle and the extra reboot options to the menu when you press/hold the power button?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Fruity Pebbles:
fwiw, I went from stock rooted MR1 to this ROM *without* a full wipe. Wipe Dalvik cache, flash ROM from CWM, flash radio from hboot, done. Everything is working OK.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Moyeto:
The order of things...

I just want to make sure that I know what to flash. I am flashing all four files?

What are/were PRI/PRL/ERI Versions? = Unknown

Baseband version = Unknown

Operator name/Mobile network type = Unknown.

Service state = Out of service

Ran the operations several times.

My phone is now dead.

No radio.

Still powers on.

ROM Manager can reboot in a backup, but still missing the radio.

No idea what to do now.

NEED HELP!!!

PLEASE!!!

Prior I was stock root with Froyo, no ROM.

ORA!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nate14:
Have you tried installing a radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] offroadace:
Yes. I tried both the files listed for the operation. The deodexed one did pretty much nothing and the radio one seemed to go through the install process as expected but the result broke my connection. The areas under software/build still listed the 1.13. The network and phone id all list as 'unknown'.

I ran them a couple times just to see if I could recover from the failure.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thunderclaps691:
Works perfectly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RomsWell:
Radio has to be installed via hboot. Not recovery
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PhantomNV:
This Rom runs great... I ran into this issue too with the No Service problem...

It really helps to read the whole post ... I tried to Flash the radio with CWM Recovery and was going WTF? So read on, and it all gets explained... Once flashed with Hboot, my phone came back to life. Get good 4G signal, clear voice calls.

Thanks for Posting this Rom!

Are you trying going back to stock or downgrade to root?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] derekthejw:
The TB has been rooted using revolutionary. It has the stock sense ROM. Now the phone is trying to ota update. I was hoping to get the rooted ota 1.70.605.0 then flash the new update along with the new radio.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
Why not just flash one of the available Roms? If you want sense you can flash the leak MR4 with sense 3.0 or a 2.1 sense such killasense 3.7
[Thunderbolt General] jcnyc:
Hi all, newly Rooted and flashed das bamf with sense 3 today and have probably learned more about android phones in a day than I have since I had the tbolt.

Question is my battery seems to be even worse now than it was pre root. Pre root, after disabling blockbuster, I was getting around 12 hrs battery life but I'm pushing maybe 6 hrs with the das bamf rom.

I am using the mr 2.5 radio even though they recommended mr2. The rom comes with the dreamkernjel so I didn't download any other kernels and am over clocked to 1.4 with smart ass governor on. My phone gets pretty hot from doing just about anything and I know from experience once your phone gets hot it's game over for the battery life. I read somewhere it is good to get rid of setcpu since that might conflict with das bamf but I am having no luck trying to uninstall this'd app.

Would really appreciate if anyone had any input or suggestions on this! Thx
[Thunderbolt General] zr1fan09:
why dont you do what the op said and give the mr2 radio a shot and see what that does. cause im pulling about 12 or so hours with moderate use on bamf sense 3.0 rc4
[Thunderbolt General] ANGERisMYgift:
New radio update is available now in the development thread, give that a shot. I was pulling about 16 hours before sense 3.0 and now I'm pulling 10 tops no matter what radio and kernel I use. Hopefully new radio will help a little but it is well known that gingerbread is a battery hog. I'd go back to froyo but sense 3.0 is just so damn sexy
[Thunderbolt General] CharliesTheMan:
I'm pulling about 12 hours with mine with continuous IM usage, running MR2. I first installed MR 2.5 and it worked ok so I used it a while. Tried MR2 just for kicks, and OMG it was sooo much better for me, like a whole new phone almost.

Congratulations on the root! I'm right with you, I learned so much so fast, just by reading and learning what I could when I started rooting.

I'm currently running 1.6 clock with interactiveX governor. I like smart, this was just a test but its been stable and had much better battery life than stock for me.

Hang in there, you'll find the sweet spot. Also, I try not to use GPS when i don't need it, just to keep in mind when considering my specs.

Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF

Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
[Thunderbolt General] jcnyc:
Aha, so it appears I'm not the only one and seems like sense 3.0 might be the culprit.

I just flashed the mr2 ota update that was release a few hrs ago and it seems to be working a littl ebtter than mr2.5. Not significantly so but the phone doesn't overheat as quickly. As much as I like the new features of sense 3 i might have to go back to 2.1 if the battery gets owned so quickly.

Charles, you overclocking with dasbamf toolkit or using the terminal emulator?
[Thunderbolt General] NTATKD:
Try disabling mobile data when you aren't using it. It's easy as pie with the quick settings and your battery will last forever. Just turn it on when you want to check email or use the net. It's the price we pay for the carousel :)
[Thunderbolt General] jcnyc:
Would be a good idea but I use google voice for my texts and chat using liveprofile with most of my friends so wouldn't get any lives updates :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Razor1973:
I currently have a dual-boot system with WP7 on NAND and several Android ROM's on SD. Even though the storage for all SD ROM's is the same (for example, you take a picture in one and it's visible in the gallery of another), there is absolutely no file sharing between my NAND OS and my SD OS's.

Well, I am now planning to get rid of WP7 and I want to have an Android ROM on NAND and one or more Android ROM's on SD and I want the same thing: to partition my SD card in a way that the NAND build only sees, say, 3GB of my 8GB card and the SD builds see the other 5GB.

Is this possible? How can I achieve this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
well i guess we can do everything with our hd2 ...but not something like this ... once u install android in nand it's the only os in ur phone ...and u can run another rom only if u delete the one before
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Razor1973:
What? No, that's not correct. Using MAGLDR, you can have a NAND Android ROM and as many Android ROM's as you want on SD. That's not what I'm asking.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
never heard about something like this ... if u get the solution post so we can try it
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmwookie:
The pins seem staggered and I m not sure if that is normal or if someone forced the plug in and caused the pins to get shoved back. When this first arrived (yesterday) it would charge off the USB cord, but now it won't connect or charge at all. My battery is now drained with an exclamation point only showing.

Dell is sending me a new battery/charger, but I highly suspect this port. Is their anyways of testing the battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
I have a few questions about bricking and what to do with a bricked device (my device is not bricked just curious) . If the devices brick is there an easy to use program or GUI that could be created to unbrick the device, also how hard is it to brick the device.
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Anyone? Also a few questions for root how easy is it to unroot is it as simple as just restored the original backup that is told to be made when flashing a custom rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] sc2k:
No, there is no easy to use GUI tool. The process of unbricking a device isn't quite easy (depending on how your device is bricked).

If someone contacts me with a bricked device, I usually prepare all needed files so that the user just have to click some "recover.bat". This worked for 18 devices up to now.

Common mistakes that lead to a bricked device:

- Modifying boot AND recovery without calling itsmagic before

- Manually restoring a backup without calling itsmagic before

Sadly there is one case that I currently cannot handle: The device does not save any data to the flash memory. Might be an HW issue..
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Right and the issues without calling itsmagic that wouldn't happen if we use thor recovery right?
[About XDA developers] deathcipris:
It certainly has some goofy friggen rules. I understand locking things out for spammers and all that jazz, but man...come on...I can't post in the development section until I have 10 posts. I can't post more than once every 5 minutes. The development forums, for the G-Tablet at least, seem to devolve from amazing discussion regarding the merits and downfalls of a particular ROM, method of rooting, recovery software, etc...to this pitiful name calling and snide remarks between users ripping on the devs for being thieves or stealing work and not crediting, all without any sort of evidence that the dev is actually doing that. It makes me wonder where the heck the moderators are...

Anyways, that is my two-cents on feedback of the site.
[About XDA developers] JimmyMcGee:
Thank you for your comments. If you think the degradation of threads now is bad, they were worse before the 10-post rule. Also, the timing thing is a Server Load balancing attempt. This site have 15,000+ users at any one time., that takes a lot of server load. Finally, we have a group of 60 moderators to cover a forum of 4million users. We can't be everywhere, this is where you can help. If you see an issue you can PM the forum specific mod. or click the report button.
[About XDA developers] TheATHEiST:
Well imo the 10 post rule should be a 100 post rule.

New users have absolutely no business posting in the dev section. 9/10 they simply ask something that has already been asked before a million times over in the roms thread of they create a topic when they or anybody else shouldn't be creating topic in there in the first place, The dev section is for posting of work/reference only.

If you are a new user you can use the general forums or Q&A's if you need help you have no real need to post in dev section.

The rule was to stop n00bs posting crap and polluting the threads. Its hope that the time they have made 10 posts they will have a little more knowledge and the delay has given them the time to read the most basic guides on how to do thing or to at least found the search button.

1second, just let me get this right..

thats not good at all

yup, someone needs to actually do something about this.. (hint, no? ok...)

ill bring this to the attention of Admins today for you dude, i think that he will find this post very interesting...

i think this is @ rule 2.3 but not sure if it would fall under that or trolling, anyway a rep of the dev is destroyed by these sort of snide remarks/name calling comments so i think you have a very good bloody point.. "It makes me wonder where the heck the moderators are!".....

(oh wait, i remember where.. they are out banning the devs and their hard work for rule 9..)

@JimmyMcGee's

no acknowledgment from a you to OP that something will be done about this issue.. (no looking into it or nothing)

just saying, eg "click the report button" is not good enough because OP has clearly told you where and what the problem is..

OP has reported this issue to you, a mod :rolleyes:
