Id root first and then flash the old bootloader.Flashing the old bootloader wont unroot your phone either.As far as the EFS backup goes the best that I have found,and use,is the link below.Download the release.zip and follow the instructions.

[Wildfire General] rent0n:
So I've got this problem which is driving me nuts...

My GPS isn't working so I need to reflash the 19 radio and then the latest radio again.

I have CWM 4.x so I need to temporarily flash CWM 2.5.0.7 from within ROM manager.

After I do this I can flash the 19 radio (no errors here, everything looks fine) but after rebooting I see that I'm still with the latest (20) radio.

So basically flashing radios doesn't work so I can't fix my GPS...

What can I do? I really need my GPS working...

Any help is very appreciated, thanks a lot!
[Wildfire General] rimsa80:
U have to downgrade ROM manager to 2.5v
[Wildfire General] rent0n:
Yeah I know and that's what I've done. I used ROM manager to temporarily go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 and indeed I don't get any error when flashing the radio but at the next reboot I can see that the new radio hasn't actually been installed...

You mean I should go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 with unrevocked?

Thanks!

EDIT: I just realized you said to downgrade ROM manager and not CWM... how do I do that?
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
How are you flashing the radio? Its possible to do it in hboot :-)
[Wildfire General] .xxx.:
radio is to be generally flashed through cwm. But before that may I know which rom you are using ?
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
Indeed but if you have the file as an image you can take a HTC rom update.zip with all the stuff in it. Delete everything aside from the txt file, add the new radio if the one it came with is not the one you want then zipup and rename pc49img.zip boot to bootloader and it should do the rest :-)
[Wildfire General] .xxx.:
I would surely agree to this.
[Wildfire General] rent0n:
Thanks guys for your help.

Do you care to elaborate on how to flash the radio via HBOOT?

I have the radio.zip file, I guess I can't simply rename it to PC49IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card, right? What do I need to do?

Step-by-step instructions are very welcome! ;D

Thanks!

EDIT: I use CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 if that matters. Also: Revolutionary S-OFF | HBOOT 6.01.1002 | CWM 4.0.1.4
[Wildfire General] .xxx.:
I hope you know how to go into recovery.

In recovery goto install from sd card. Then goto choose from sd card. Choose the required radio zip file and follow the instructions.
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
and to do it from hbooot. first download a ruu that has the radio that you want. then follow this giude to get out the rom.zip http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html

after you get the rom.zip delete or remove all of the files aside from the radio and the android-info-txt file. rip up these files into a zip(make sure there not in a folder) and rename the zip pc49img.zip

then boot into hboot and allow it to do its business.

bear in mind the usual disclamers apply:)

you do it on your own head :cool:

good luck:cool:

Have you tried flashing a sense Rom, turning on gps and going outside to get a good fix on Google maps then without changing any settings reboot to recovery and restore a cm7 nandroid backup or flash a fresh install of cm7, the first time it happened to me I flashed the radio to fix it but the second time I lost gps on cm7 flashing a sense Rom fixed it.
[Wildfire General] rent0n:
No I haven't tried this yet, what sense rom should I use?

Thanks!
[Wildfire General] rocker86:
Use rempuzzle and then do the steps as mentioned by Scratch..
[Wildfire General] yash_p90:
Yeah even my gps wasnt working on nightly 256. i did the steps mentioned by scratch (rempuzzle) and now back to #256 with gps working.

remember do not switch off ur gps once u get a fix on sense rom.
[Wildfire General] hamdimo:
i don't know why all this hastle for a minor problem like this. wipe everyrhing, installing another rom so that GPS works then wiping again to flash cm7? i hope you still didn't do this because i have this problem so often and the slolution is simple... ANDROID FLASHER! it takes you less than one minute to flash a radio. or anything (boot animations.....) and it works always. mail me if u have questions.
[Wildfire General] mhca:
Just want to say, that I also had trouble flashing radio to fix GPS and when I found Android Flasher, I fixed the radio in very short time!

So I can also recommend trying Android Flasher. Very simple!
[Wildfire General] rent0n:
Thanks guys I solved by flashing Rempuzzle rom, enabling GPS and restoring CM7. Worked like a charm! :D

I developed this app over a year ago for the Incredible when it had really wacked out stock signal bars.

I'm not sure what the Nexus signal bar issue is exactly, but maybe this can help those how care to use it.

I'm in a 3G only area, so I'd like to know how it works with 4G on.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thanks, but no matter how you cut it, the GN has a signal issue, and its not limited to visual indicators via signal bars. I was literally at -141dbm this weekend and had a signal. That should have never been possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
Hey adrynalyne, love your work.. been an avid user of your rom contributions over the past year or two... thanks for all that effort!

Where you seeing the -141? You using a 3rd party signal app, logcat or looking in the settings/status? I haven't see anything like that, but I'm only in a 3G zone.

Just wondering if the GN uses raw Telephony object data directly or if Samsung/Verizon has the Telephony wrapped and modified to what they want us to see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparkimus:
I get a solid -120dbm on my Nexus at home, which on my Droid meant no signal. The Nexus actually says "Time without signal - 100%" under the battery stats. Yet I get a more stable 3G connection most of the time and can actually browse the web. Definitely not reporting correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I was looking under status, which is under about phone.

I'm trying to figure out where the lockscreen is located inside of a Rom. I would like to port over some lockscreens from other phones? Do I just need the lockscreen xml file and the .png images? Or is there a lot more to it?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
I'm pretty sure there is a lot more to it! If not we'd have roms with 10 locksreens like in Captivate Roms, etc. I'm sure its tougher than it seems otherwise devs would have done it already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
I figured it was pretty difficult, but im sure it can be done!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Lol with a certain amount of knowledge anything can be done. What lockscreen are you referring too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
I'm wanting to do the galaxy note lockscreen, it's already built into one of the roms in the dev section so i figured it might be a little easier to just pull it out and put it any other roms?

Well I'm not saying that specific one, just something along that line. I like the idea of opening to messaging or phone or camera. All in an elegant package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rdannar:
First step is decompile res... And start looking around and switching out lockscreen pic xml and anything else applicable to lockscreen.

Another thing that might help is taking a look at jkay mod as it switches around lockscreen..

I have done lockscreen on other phone buy not on this one yet. my cimputer fried so when my laptop comes in the mail i will see if i can find time to help you.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
If you had really researched it you would have read that SOC won't root the kk3 leak.

The GB roms that you see have been modded or ported.

To root the kk3 leak all you have to do is flash entropy's kernel dated 11/02/11.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Yeah, that was what I was gonna suggest.

I wasn't sure if the OP wanted to stay on stock or go from there to another custom ROM.

I must say..you guys around here are brutal..forgive me if my language on the matter is sub-par...i do understand the concept though...i have flashed back to stock and thanks to super thread been working from there with success....There are a ton of threads regarding this device..I treated it mostly like it was similar to a skyrocket..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bloodbath:
I'm sorry, but I'm a total noob with Samsung. I rooted to a particular ROM, but ran into some issues and had to unbrick the phone. Upon doing so, I selected the kk3 leak and then lost root. I used SOC 2.3.3 to try to reroot, but I got stuck at step 7. So I want to try flashing Entropy's kernel as you mentioned. I'm not sure how to do this though. The kernel is in a CWM .zip format, but Odin reads .tar files. Do I unzip the .zip file and then convert to a .tar file? This didn't seem to work when I initially tried it, but perhaps I did something wrong. Any special settings I need to use? Also, do I just need to reboot after I flash it and I will have root? If not, what else must I do?

Sorry again for my lack of understanding. I've been trying to find an answer for hours and have become a little desperate. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

A huge annoyance really.. whenever I go to compose a new SMS, I type in a letter and expect to just get suggestions from my contact list. But a ton of email contacts that I know longer even use show up.

Any way to clear all of that? I recently went into my gmail and deleted a TON of email contacts out of the account, so that is nice and clean now.. except, I still see the ones I deleted showing up on my phone auto suggestions.

I've force stopped both the gmail app and the stock email app, cleared settings and cache. I double checked and still see all of the emails still being auto suggested.

I've also force stopped, cleared cache and removed facebook.

Help :(

having just purchased an HTC media link for less than half the release price at £44 my next step was to check xda to see what type of hacks are available. unfortunately, repeated searching throws up little beyond the codec/filetype issues i'm likely to encounter.

is anybody working on the DG H100 firmware? am a little surprised to discover an htc product without any dev interest.

would be nice to see a minimal b+w gui & a more robust set of codecs - or is that a phone/pc problem? i'm just dipping my toes into DLNA so apologies if this is a stupid question.

DG H100 on Desire Bravo

How are you getting on with the media link?

Your signature says that you have a Desire Bravo, are you using it with that?

The HTC site lists a load of phones that it is compatible with and the Bravo isn't on that list.

Would I be right in thinking that this just means that that phone wont work straight out of the box as it is missing the required native programs and I need to install an app to make the bravo a DLNA media server - e.g. iMediaShare Lite and that then i can *push* photos etc to my TV via the Media Link?

Any tips that you have will be appreciated, thinking of getting a media link, they look like a great gadget.

received it today and it works perfectly out of the box with my win7 pc & desire (same setup as sig).

the hotspot it sets up initially can be logged into through the pc - from where you can enter the ssid, encryption type & password for the home network. that's it.

watching a movie as i type. file is sat on the pc in the next room. selected on my desire with skifta, playing on the big telly.

in answer to your question, i've been using skifta to watch pc based files on my mobile for a few weeks, i'd suggest that if you can view things successfully using that method then it'd be worth adding the media link to your set up. from what i've read imediashare & twonky do much the same thing.

unless otherwise mentioned, those kernels are flashed using Odin..
