bveditz, thanks for your work.

i have a droid pro (unlocked, verizon branded).

right now i'm using android v2.2 because the TBH radio hack only works with this version. i didn't dare doing any updates because of that. lol. i have one questions.

my phone is already sim unlocked.

so with this new CM7 build, can i just flash and use it without doing the TBH radio hack all over again?
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Yes, you don't need to unlock the radio, you can start from step 5 (or 6 if its already rooted) and just skip the part about running the radio unlock. Running the radio unlock again doesn't hurt anything either.

Just a word of note, I don't know how the froyo build is by default (i didn't use it), but the current CM7 build still has the issue with switching between mobile data and wifi data, and mobile data can also cut out at times. All that info is in the CM7 discussion, but it's worth noting that the Droid Pro CM7 Build isn't a final build and might not function with the same stability as the Froyo build did. This has nothing to do with this process, it's just the current state of the CM7 rom at the moment. Flashing APEX might produce better results with the radio, but you lose features of CM7, although it has a number of its own features.
[Droid Pro Android Development] chagla:
installed it. i just started with step 7C. so far so good.

radio is working. sim is still unlocked.

so far i've found one thing, maybe i didn't see the setting yet. the keyboard back lights aren't working?
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
No, with that issue and the wifi/radio issues (loosing connection and not being able to switch between the two) , I switched over to the APEX ROM, it's more stable. You don't get the features of CM7, but it has less bugs. Might want to try that. You don't need to do anything different, just put the apex file on your SD, reboot to clockwork mod and wipe data and reflash.
[Droid Pro Android Development] enlight22:
is it possible to use this in some way to have band unlock and normal ginerbread without cm7
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Yes. You need to basically upgrade Gingerbread to the full release, root it and do a nandroid backup. Then, you follow the steps in the first post but instead of restoring the nandroid backup of CM7, you install the nandroid backup of regular gingerbread that you made yourself.
[Droid Pro Android Development] enlight22:
bveditz, thanks, that is along the lines of what i was thinking might work after reading the directions... Im already running tbh rooted gingerbread... Do i need to sbf and upgrade to a clean gingerbread, or can i nandroid backup what i already have and then retain all my settings and apps so i dont have to start over. Has anyone noticed any disadvantage to useing the older radio besides the obvious advantage of being able to use the band unlock?
[Droid Pro Android Development] jxs714:
Excellent tutorial!!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL GUYS. Also, you should make sure to mention after installing bootstrap, press 'bootstrap recover'. then 'reboot recovery' option. I did that, installed the kernal and restored backup fine.

Only issue so far was a -20% battery decrease randomly. I had 100% with a brand new battery fully charged for the first time and when I finished installing cm7 I was already on 80%, then dropped to 70% on a reboot or two, its weird. Anyone else had this happen? I heard the apex 2.0 rom did it to someone else as well on another forum

Also, do you guys know how to get back the blur social network apps such as friendfeed, or whichever app it was that adds your friends social network updates to their contact numbers on your contacts? Most people don't like it, but I think its a pretty awesome built in feature
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Thanks, made the note to the tutorial. I haven't noticed the issue with the battery, but I do know that this is one of those roms that seems to jump in increments of 10 for the battery which is kinda weird. That said, i only used it about a week on CM7 before switching over to the Apex rom (and haven't noticed that issue on the apex rom).

Don't know about blur, I didn't use the original OS at all. That said, you can do what the guy above did and wipe the phone, upgrade all the way to gingerbread, do a nandroid backup then follow the original instructions but use that backup to restore to, which should have the full motoblur functionality. Thats just a guess though, haven't tried it myself.

[Droid Pro Android Development] jraskal:
Could you re-up just the Kernel file? I've followed your instructions to the T and every time it seems that I have a problem at that step.

I've gotten to Flashing the Kernel VIA CWM, and when I try to restore the backup of CM7 via \clockworkmod\restore\ folder - it will say MD5 mismatch.

Also, if I skip the restore portion of CM7 and just try to reboot the phone after flashing the Kernel, I will be stuck at the red M.

I've tried rebooting the phone right after applying the band unlock (all after SBF + Wipe data), and the phone will boot up just fine if I skip flashing the Kernel (again I leave it in zip form and install it via CWM).

I’ve already unlock my SIM via code provided by VZW (I am a VZW customer in good standing)

While stuck at the red M, I’ve done a battery pull and tried to enter Recovery mode by pressing M+R+Power, and the recovery screen that is booted up doesn’t look like it’s compatible with the phone. I can almost describe it as a bunch of white horizontal lines of what the menu should be, and all the menus and the green android are skewed diagonally to the right/and also looks like it’s double or triple vision.

I know a very similar process works for the D2G, because I have successfully performed and tested it on the D2G on one of my other lines.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I can stick with Froyo, but I’d like to have GB.
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Try redownloading the CM7 backup, it might be a corrupted download. If that doesn't work, try the APEX file. But, yes, you cannot reboot without restoring a gingerbread backup or you'll have to start over again (there's ways to get back to the cwm but i'm not sure how, I did it accidently a few times).
[Droid Pro Android Development] jraskal:
Thanks I am a complete noob

So it turns out the problem is when I unzipped the Backup that it created sub folders "\nandroid\restore\xxxx\xxx\backup\restore\"

Just to save everyone headaches, make sure the when you unzip the file into your backup folder that the name of the next folder down is the series of numbers that represent the name & number i.e.

Should NOT be

\clockworkmod\backup\clockworkmod\clockworkmod\backup\2011-11-27.09.52.03\

but instead SHOULD BE

\clockworkmod\backup\2011-11-27.09.52.03\

My 7zip by default created all those sub directories, which caused the CWM restore not to find the back up files.

On another note, I am having issues with GSM Wifi and 3G.

With a fresh flash & WiFI on - if I connect WIFI first I cannot later add the APN and access Cellular Data

Inversely, If I add the APN first (again after a fresh SBF flash, kernel update, and Backup restore), and connect to cellular data, none of the WIFI connects I make can access WIFI Data

I am going to try WIFI fixer in one of the older threads to see if this resolves the problem.

DROID PRO

Please upload the file in other downloads bc megaupload is temp down
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
If you're talking about the two multiupload files I put up, use one of the other links below megaupload. I just tried the bottom one (wupload) and it worked. If you're talking about RSD Lite and SBF files, I'll see if I can find another link to them, but you can easily find them by searching the forums or google.

**Edit** Edited first post with non-megaupload links.
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Let me know how that worked out. I stopped using CM7 and switched to Apex because of the Wifi/Cellular switching issues of the november cm7 rom.
[Droid Pro Android Development] aaevann:
Can you provide a link to the Apex rom you're using?
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Theres an apex thread on xda that links to the rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1292506
[Droid Pro Android Development] locarbdontmeannosugar:
Are the newer cm7 builds much (any) improved since sept or so of last year on the pro? It was unstable for me, caused random reboots and crashes. Also I need music hardware controls.. if I had that, I would definitely consider switching back to the pro (on a955 right now). Tia
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
I'm not sure how to answer that. You're posting in the unlocked radio section which implies you're talking about using it on GSM with AT&T, however you mentioned the a955 which I'm pretty sure was a strictly CDMA (verizon) phone.

On GSM, CM7 is still too buggy but people using it with CDMA seem to like it fine. For GSM you need to reboot when switching between Mobile Data and Wifi which makes it practically unusable for me. Also, there was a major update between the september version and the november version where they migrated over to the gingerbread kernel (which broke the unlocked radio support, and thus this hack). I saw a lot of improvements though between those two versions. However, they've stopped working on the droid pro CM7 as far as I can tell and have started working on CM9 (ICS) so I don't expect a fully stable OS anytime soon (except maybe stock, but who uses that..haha).

The random reboots seem to happen on all the Droid Pro OS's, so I tend to think thats related to the hardware or the kernel more than the OS. I rarely see it happen though.

If you're on CDMA, then I think it'd work fine for you... but honestly, the droid 2 has more development so if you're happy with that you might as well stick with it.

BTW, not sure what hardware music controls are, so I didn't know how to answer that.
[Droid Pro Android Development] locarbdontmeannosugar:
Sorry you're right I am referring to cdma phone. My Droid1 and 2 have been rock solid stable with project elite and cm7 respectively. I like the smaller candy bar style format however. As to music controls, I recall the volume rocker for changing songs worked but the camera play/pause did not function correctly because cm7 addressed that button differently than other moto models.
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
Yeah, as far as CM7 goes, can't answer that. I'd post on the CM7 threads here (if there is one) or on the site I linked to in the first post.

As for the button mapping, it won't let you take a picture with it, but there is a button remapper tool that will let you program the side button to open an app (such as the camera). I believe the button to program is 246 for the side button. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464

multiupload is down!!!!! can you please update the links for the kernel and the backup image?! i'm in the process of doing this, and realized that multiupload was down, so i flashed the sbf, then instead of restoring from the image/nor did i install the kernel, i installed APEX...and now it won't boot....so i'm trying to flash sbf again, and just install the tbh unlock, see how it goes...! please upload the backup and the kernel to mediafire! i need them badly, and I'm sure another hosting site would benefit everyone else too.
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
I uploaded the kernel to mediafire, but I can't find my clockworkmod file. I'll look for it, but if anyone else has it saved somewhere, maybe they can upload it. Of course, that's assuming mediafire is still up by the time you read this. :)
[Droid Pro Android Development] solidus636:
anyone with the original clockworkmod backup?! please upload it to mediafire, it's still kickin'! i really really want gingerbreadd!
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
I've made a clean clockworkmod and uploaded to mediafire. I've changed the instructions a little bit for the following: Rather than making the clockworkmod for cm7, i've made a stock 4.6.8 clockworkmod. If you want cm7, just install the cm7 zip right after restoring the clockworkmod backup. Since neither cm7 or apex worked as well as the stock rom (and apex worked better than cm7), i figured this would give more choice since we can now just use stock, or pick one of the other roms. you can always just restore my 4.6.8 clockwork mod and use that then install cm7 or another rom at a later date. While its more stable, the downside of stock 4.6.8 is that you need to do some mods for things such as tethering, which are built into apex and cm7...
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:

Hello,

I am on CM7 by VanillaLVL and I am thinking of unlocking the radio.

Could you suggest me the steps I need to follow?

I am in India now and I assume after this radio unlock the cell would continue to work with GSM providers here.. and the radio unlock is only for using DPro on GSM networks while in USA and to not be locked with Verizon. Pls let me know otherwise.

Thank you
[Droid Pro Android Development] saratchandramrs:
Hey..

Could some one tell me if the below method would work for radio unlock? I am using rooted DPro and I am on GB 2.3.7 using CM7 by VanillaLVL.

1. Nandroid Back up current rom (CM7 by VanillaLVL) using Clockwordmod

2. Boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset

3. Flash Radio Unlock zip & Kernel zip

4. Restore the Nandroid back up from step 1.

Also, one last question,

After radio unlock, does 3G data work on TMobile. I am not sure if this is an issue or if this is a limitation that 3G may not work on TMobile after radio unlock?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Hey all so today I tried to make a phone call but after I dial the # and press call after like 3 seconds it goes straight to call ended. I can send texts and receive them and also use the data. Also I've had this phone for 4months now and never experienced this issue any ideas? I also haven't downloaded/installed anything recently

Try to use the SIM card with another phone.

Just to check, if it is a problem with the SIM card / your carrier or phone-related.

And why do you have to dial a "#"?

Are there no phone numbers without this symbol/sign just to make a test call?

Maybe it is just an issue to transfer the "#" from your phone => mobile provider => ...?!

I managed to correct the time. I am almost continously connected to the internet, so that wasn't the problem. Anywho, these were my steps:

1) Install busybox (mine installed at /system/xbin/busybox)

2) Changed my timezone to UTC.

3) Followed steps in this thread: h ttp://nookdevs.com/Tips_and_tricks#Setting_Date_.26_Time

4) I did set the time to UTC

5) Changed my timezone back to India.

Done!

If you can still get to the download screen your phone can still be flashed. Common issues are usb cable bad download and odin can just be a ***** sometimes.

When I first started I found only one of the three cables I have would actually work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmericanJedi001:
I can back up all of this! As long as you can get into "Download Mode" (hold the [1] key, press & hold [Power] key to boot into Download Mode) you can still recover your phone.

Also, for whatever reason, the Epic and/or Odin are extremely picky about your USB connection.* Make sure you use good cables (I got one from Radio Shack that has worked well) and you may need to try other USB ports on your computer. Be sure to experiment with these two possible fixes, even if your cable and USB ports work for other purposes.

* My guess would be that the USB controller built into the phone is not very robust--poor error control or something.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
First off what was your phone on to begin with? Firmware? Modem?

Also I don't know what Tar file that is but when I root I always like to start with a Deodexed stock rooted rom that will included everything you need. It seems like your just tring to flash a kernel which unfortunetly won't work. I can post a link to the right file if you want me to. Also once in download mode don't forget to ONLY check "auto reboot". I know usb cords like stated previously can cause issues but from what you said it seems like you haven't set it up correctly. There are a lot of people on here willing to help including myself if you have questions
