Sigh, I give up. Even after flashing stock roms and installing ICS over them, it just still won't work. Face Unlock just isn't worth all of this. I thank you all for your help anyway.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nakamoniel:
Hi,

I am planing to flash T-Mobile radios to HTC Vivid since i have 1 sitting around useless. I know the risks, and willing to take it. I have heard one guy on this forums has achieved it alredy. I have downloaded KID and VK1 radio files already. But before I go ahead and screw up something would someone be kind enough and explain me how to flash these radio files step by step. Also one more thing i didnt find anywhere is where would be stock AT&T radio files that I can flash back in case T-Mo ones dont work? Am i at risk of softbriking phone in a way that can not be recovered? ( If not I am planing to go ahead with it). Someone with lots of experience of flashing radios, if you can provideme with step-by-step instructions, I will truely appreciate it.

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I believe you would flash the radio partition like any other partition. Not sure if the phone will accept the foreign radio image, but it will be interesting to see the results. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the following:

1) You should have the drivers for your phone installed

2) Your bootloader should be unlocked via htcdev.com

3) Put the radio.img file that you would like to flash in the same folder/directory that contains your fastboot.exe file

4) Boot your phone into bootloader mode and choose "fastboot" mode then plug the phone into the PC USB.

5) In a command prompt window, go to the directory/folder that has your fastboot.exe and the radio.img file

6) Run this command: fastboot flash radio radio.img

I think it's a good idea to stand by for a bit and see if anyone corrects me, in case I am wrong. I'm thinking that if the phone doesn't accept the radio image, it will tell you and it won't flash. OR... if it does flash, and your phone doesn't boot properly, you should still be able to get into Bootloader->Fastboot in order to flash back your original radio.

To get the original radio from your stock RUU installer: When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU and the radio may be in there. Take a look...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
the phone will be hard bricked. the only phones that i know can use a different model radio is smasung because they are developed very similiar.. u can try it and go to the unbricking process and see for your self.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
This is a very bad idea.

The only HTC device that might have compatible radio us the HTC amaze. The amaze has a LTE radio but its disabled for the most part.

If it worked you would then have to figure out how to use the amaze ril as our ril would not be compatible.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nakamoniel:
So how do i proceed?

Thanks a lot guys for replying SO FAST,

Anyways If i do this and it briks, is it going to be permanent brick for radio??? Or is it a reversible process?

Also I was thinking of same that flashing radio files for HTC sensation or amaze would be far better idea than flashing ones from samsung, Can anyone point me in right direction where do i get them? I see in first reply the procedure posted of how to flash different radio files already. Let me know what you guys think...

:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
Thanks for stepping in guys! I almost bricked this guys phone lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nakamoniel:
Its all good Laziodroid, I just have this phone sitting around since I am no longer with at&t and wanted to do something, but found a seller who agreed to pay 250 for it so scrapped the plans to mess it up and just sold it, Anyways I just wonder if there was a way to get those radio files off of sensation or amaze and flash them on this phone or not?? Or it would have endedup briking phone as well, and more importantly would it be hard brick or soft brick? ( I mean recoverable or all hopes lost)??:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
You'd get them from their ruu
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Im no expert with HTC...but I would assume a soft brick that a simple ruu can fix since Ruus flash radio.img...if I had t-mo is try flashing some radios (I have a back up Samsung infuse) but I'm on att so I'd have no way of testing if it works with t-mo

GPU OVERCLOCKING

DIsclaimer :

*** I dunno if any other kernels support the very same overclocking , if it is possible kindly inform me ill update it in the post.

*** Using custom kernel or siyah kernel is purely of your choice, im not held responsible if something goes wrong
​

I would say GPU is by far the weakest hardware in s3, its weak in the sense that its using the very same architecture used for galaxy s2 with some additional improvements to clock it higher. Thanks to the head room given, though the maximum clock for our GPU is 440 Mhz we can over clock it to around 700 Mhz which is roughly 70% more than the stock. Yes it is possible. Thanks to our developer "gokhanmoral" who made it possible.

Advantage:

* Games can be made to run more smoother.

* Much smoother UI.

By default stock mali 400 GPU has 4 steppings , its clock frequencies are as follows

160 Mhz - 875 mv

266 Mhz - 900 mv

350 Mhz - 950 mv

440 Mhz - 1025 mv

Once you install siyah you will be having an additional GPU stepping(totally 5) along with the following available frequencies to choose from.

54 Mhz

108 Mhz

160 Mhz

266 Mhz

275 Mhz

300 Mhz

333 Mhz

350 Mhz

440 Mhz

533 Mhz - 1025 mv

600 Mhz - 1050 mv

640 Mhz - 1050 mv

666 Mhz - 1075 mv

700 Mhz - 1100 mv

800 Mhz - xxxx mv

The voltages for the above additional clocks are purely approximated values. So you can either undervolt or overvolt it as per your need.

Sample screenshot of stweaks gpu interface

REQUIREMENTS:

1. Siyah Kernel 1.5 beta 6 or higher

2. Stweaks

3. GLbenchmark 2.5(Egypt Classic and Egypt HD)

4. Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji

5. Nenamark

Testing methods and procedure:

Step 1:

Install siyah kernel and other mentioned apps and get used to stweaks.

Step 2:

Select the gpu frequency in stweaks along with the recommended voltage and apply the settings.

Step 3:

Open the above mentioned benchmark suits and run it.. if you feel any stuttering or artifacts when running the benchmark then you need some more voltage. Exit the suite and increase the voltage in stweaks by + 25 and restart the benchmark.

(** Egypt HD benchmark does stutters with currently all the mobile available in this world as the test is designed to stress the GPU to its maximum.)

Step 4:

Repeat step 2 and 3 if you need underclock/undervolt your GPU.

Notes :

* Though there are many available frequencies to choose from i would recommend not to use 54 and 800 mhz.

* Make your GPU steppings gradual (Eg : 1xx-2xx-3xx-4xx-5xx)

* If you feel your device warm let the device cool before testing.

* You can monitor your gpu frequencies in real time by using a tool called

mali gpu status

(caution: do not use these apps when benchmarking as it will degrade your result)

* Dont use any onscreen overlay apps like cool tool as it will degrade your benchmark scores.

Some benchmark results :

Below is the result comparison of basemark 2.0 (mobile with hd screens). Stock s3 gpu scores around 38 fps.

Here is the result achieved with max gpu clock of 700 mhz. It simply smashes all the records.

Thanks, Bala - though I have tried doing this for my S before, I havent seen the need yet to do this for S3.

Having said that, if you have the right OC, UV combinatons that worked for you - do you mind sharing them. That will be the best use of this thread. ;)

Hmmm if 100,200,300mhz have same voltage so better to keep 300mhz as minimum? Talking about battery consumption/performance? :)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
300mhz and 400mhz are not utilized by many kernels so its more or less useless. either 200 or 100 can be used for minimum

whenever I opens an app cpu reaches its Max frequency stage then come down,

is cpu acts like this normal??
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
It depends on the type of app and the initial load required, it's normal afaik

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
It depends on the app its not an strange act, if the app requires a lot of cpu usage it will stay longer on the max frequency, if you dont like that you can always try an lazy cpu scaling governor (controls the behaviour of the cpu) ;)

Edit: lol bala gamer was earlier np xd
[Galaxy S III General] kachrukamble:
Ohk. In my case it reaches for every app.

[Galaxy S III General] apvinod2003:
Hi Bala,

You posts has been very useful for me to understand OC/UV concepts. I have a SGS 3 LTE version rooted with Perseus kernel ( waiting desperately for siyah) and i'm left with nothing but init.d scripts at my disposal. I have a few queries hoping to find answers to:

CPU undervolting : Do we have any alternate for setCPU stresstest ? I use stabilityTest (free), but it didnt report any errors in the first half hour. But when I happened to re-start the mobile it entered into bootloop, then I found that the voltages aren't stable.

GPU Undervolting: Do we have any UI apps to configure this ? Stweaks/Extweaks are for siyah, which I assume cannot be used with perseus.

Also in scripts world, how do we know that the GPU UV has taken effect ? any command line to get that ?

When mobile enters to bootloop due to UV misconfigs, is there any way to elegantly restore UV settings to stock, instead of restoring the entire mobile backup ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
the cpu test in set cpu is pretty good and i havent seen it fail. You can use the very same script command just to view the voltage values or manually navigate to the voltage table file via root explorer.

I have a cwm zip in 1st post to reset cpu voltages if you end up with bootloop. You need ns tools or some similar apps for that zip to work. Unless you put your voltage scripts in init.d folder it wont affect you on boot.

can you help me for undervolting? my battery go down to fast, i got Supernexus 4.1.2 with siyah 1.7cr1 kernel

i use setcpu for undervolt 1400mhz and 1300mhz to 1238 and 1188 but my battery is not very good :(

I use governor pagasusq now with deadline,

i want only a good battery, i don't need the phone is too speed, only i use web and not game

many thanks

ps. sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
Chose a good ROM (for battery use stock), root it and install siyah kernel, set max to 1000Mhz and "dual core" mode.

And set "undervolt" to 50 in STweaks.
[Galaxy S III General] biribirii:
i try it is really good to battery, i use 1200mhz and quad for 1 day very nice,

now i try to make overclock, stress test is ok and battery is not very hot

i use the parameters in the signature of Bala 1500mhz and other with same voltage and the same for the gpu

for the step percentage up and down i use ( 2down 60% - 2 up 70% - 3 down 55% - 3 up 70% - 4 down 55% - 4 up 70% - 5 down 50% )

you think is ok or i risk to damage hardware???

You can use ns tools for cpu, no idea about gpu, most probably via scripts if the kernel supports it.

[Galaxy S III General] luke05dee:
Well this was cool, I had no idea that nstools could control internal voltages as well as core. Just undervolted all internal voltages by -50mV and everything seems stable with my core voltages undervolted by -150 or -125mV and my gpu -100mV. Has anyone else carefully played around with the internal voltages? :) I remember playing around with it on my old s2 and man could it make the device unstable and could only do -50mV on my s2, but so far -50mV on the s3 seems to work fine as well :)
[Galaxy S III General] taco7712:
Hey, I don't mean to sound stupid or anything now but I have a quick question.

When people say they remove -150mv from their voltage.

Does that mean that removed -150mv from the original voltage per stage or am I not understanding something?
[Galaxy S III General] Warlord1981:
do we really need to do the steps of the first post for each cpu/gpu frequency step (from 200mhz to 16000mhz for cpu for example) ?? cause that would take ages.. (lots of 10 mins of stress tests)

or we do it only for the max values (i.e. 1600 for cpu) we want?

also whats the recommended minimum values for cpu/gpu? thx
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
As the oc/uv mileage varies its safe to check every stepping if you need much better control over uv.

[Galaxy S III General] Warlord1981:
ufff...i know its not a good idea but i copied your settings and run a 10mins stress test and all seems ok :P

[Galaxy S III General] connta:
hey guys i have a quick question, what do you use for stress testing exactly?

so far i use numerous benchmarks and games but they are not so great for actual monitoring and continuous maximum stress... i tried stress test in setcpu but it just fails on any possible clock (default or even less) and it might be due to ELK4 leak or what not since the system doesnt show any instability whatsoever...

i have also seen people post something like "cpu passes: xxx gpu passes: xxx" in this thread when testing...

what app do you use for this?

[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Hi!

I would like to undervolt my cpu and gpu.

I'm with Siyah kernel.

I see that you say to use STweaks to set the uv values for the gpu, and then test them with some benchmark apps.

For the cpu.. can't I use the same STweaks for setting the uv values and then use SetCPU stress test as you say??

Why should I use that other app for testing?

Do you say that because of the emergency cmw file to flash if I undervolt too much?

In case it's this the reason.... can I then use STweaks for setting my uv values once I've found them??

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
siyah version 1.8.x + has built in support to undervolt cpu for each stepping. Now you can use it for testing, incase if you get into bootloops, enter recovery and reset to default values or simply flash a profile mod available in siyah thread
