[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
I'm thinking about upgrading my Thunderbolt from CM 7.1.1 to one of the Liquid ICS ROMs found on this board. I have a few reservations so I want to do this right. I know enough to be dangerous but I'm far from an expert so any help is appreciated.

First, what I did to get to where I am: I went from a Stock Gingerbread HTC Sense ROM to CM 7.1.1 following this how-to: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Thunderbolt:_Full_Update_Guide

To my knowledge, I've never flashed any radios and following that guide worked perfectly. The ROM is a little buggy but not bad. For the most part it works brilliantly and I love it.

However, as I said, I'd like to try Liquid ICS and my understanding is it requires you flash a radio. What I want to do is ensure that I can do a full Nandroid backup now so that in case I'm not a fan, I'm able to restore back.

Presumably that would involve flashing the radio that I'm currently using and then restoring from the Nandroid backup. Is that right?

If so, how do I find the current radio file? My baseband version looks odd to me, but maybe it isn't. It's listed as "1.39.00.0627r,0.01.69.0625r". The comma (seemingly separating two version #s?) is what is throwing me off.

Anyway, I really want to try ICS but I just want a method to get back to my current state if need be. How can I accomplish this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Find the 605.19 radio and flash in the bootloader by renaming it PG05IMG.zip. The file has to be on the root of your sd card for the bootloader to detect the radio. To go back to your old radio just download the one you had and flash it in the same manner. Radios aren't as simple to change back to as a Rom but once you know how to flash a radio its easy enough. Just remember to check the md5 sum of your radio after you download it and before you flash it. It will brick your phone if you flash a bad radio. Always rename the radio after you flash it or move it to another directory so that if you need to go into the bootloader it doesn't try to run the update again.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
So my assumptions were correct. I need to flash the 605.19 radio to get to Liquid ICS.

How do I know which radio I have now? How do I find it? And the Nandroid restore will work after flashing back to the old radio?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
You don't have to use that radio... It's only advised. If you want to flash liquid ics then go for it. If you have some data issues then try flashing the new radio. Make a nand of your current Rom of course in case there is something that you just can't stand. I would say that if the radio you are using now works fine for you then it should still work fine.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
Ah gotcha. But still just in case- how do I find the radio file for what I currently have in case I do have to/wish to flash the 605.19 radio?
[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
Hit settings, about phone, radio version is under "baseband."

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Honestly I would recommend .9 radio or .19 anything else is just crap.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
My baseband is listed as "1.39.00.0627r,0.01.69.0625r". What does that mean?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Holy crap..... That is the first radio put on this phone ROFL. If you had any issues with data that could be it. Download the 605.19 and try it. Heres a link with all the radios.

http://forums.infectedrom.com/showt...rbolt-Radios-Collection-778-Radio-Modem-Tweak
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
I'm not having any issues with data. I'm just asking in case I want to go back to what I have and the 605.19 *doesn't* work with what I have. What I have is working perfectly.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yep you can always go back. Just download that radio and flash it the way I posted earlier. I don't know if you will have problems with your current radio but I imagine you're going to have data drops with them and liquid ics. They fixed the ril using the .19 radios so they seem to work better.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
Makes sense. Okay, one last question- looking at the link you posted, it looks like I have two radios (at least it's two separate files on that link). Am I losing my mind?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
No. They can be packaged together or separate. They can even be mixed or matched. It's usually better to use the same two though. If you do go back you will have to flash each one of those radios to get it back the way you are now. That is unless you can find someone that knows how to combine the two in a zip.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
So if I want both back- I can flash one zip and then the other and it'll have both?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yea. Just remember to change the name of the zip before going back to the bootloader so that you don't try flafhing the same one again.
[Thunderbolt General] street9009:
Much appreciated! Think I'm gonna give it a shot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I prefer the MTS3G TY:
Hello all, I have refered to this site many times and now need assistance with my MT3G

First off, thank you

zeubea

and the rest for all your work. I tried to ask my question in the developers section but... ;)

I hope you see this post and can guide me along.

Background: I'm ok w pc's, have built and repaired/recovered my own for sometime. But this phone stuff is new teritory to me.

I got my slide mebbe 3 yrs ago? But as phones go I have yet to find one that I like as much. The key board captures my hunt n peck thumb style intuitivly. The weight and feel, and size, seems as right as can be, for me. The only thing I disliked was the carrier :(

I had studied, and studied this site and others trying to learn how to root. This isnt the best phone to learn on huh lol. So after asking several associated at outlet malls (soory, we can't assist you with that type of request) I found a guy at a pc store that confidently said "no problem, we can take care of that for you." Awesome! The price, $120 US. worth it to me.

2 weeks later, my phone was ready. He did great, I will lay out the specs below. But, when I asked if he could now do it again for less having done it once, his reply was " man, that was a @#$&^, I wont do it again, you have the only one that will come from our shop, but I assure you that you wont find anything like it at starbucks..." Wow...

So first, heres what I have, and then my problem..

Build number is: cm_espresso-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L

eng.zuebea.20120618.005058 test-keys

Version: 9-20120617-UNOFFICIAL-espresso

That probably tells you alot of where the phone is. In its apps screen I see dev toolsrom manager and superuser, along with several others.

The phone appears to function as described by the others at the same stage ie: the fn key works as long as it is held when using, no keyboard backlight wifi calling f/c's 4 times upon boot up (I LUV that little guy :) ) Screen keyboard a bit cut off etc...

So my problem: I was not provided a sdcard when I received my phone. Coulda sworn there was an 8 gb in it when I left it, but oh well. I have a new 8 gb sd card, sandisk. but dont know what to do. I dont want to lose the work that went into this phone. But I cant seem to download any apps from the market or play store

ALSO, I dont currently have a sim card, I plan on getting a pay as I go plan when I get this figured out.

I am unsure about the whole partitioning the sd card thing, as well as how to do it, and wether it is done with cwm or what? The guy who did it suggested titanium back up, but again, cant download. ( Yes I do have wifi at home and it connnects and browes internet superbly)

I have formatted the sd card to fat32, and see all sorts of apps running in cache.

I believe that is about it. I know this is a long read, but I wanted to be clear so you could assist. Thank you...

EDIT: I was assured that we did get S off..,.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I prefer the MTS3G TY:
update

New guy still here, and for all my reading, I dont feel my confidence level has increased any as far as messin with this phone. I kno I can do it once it all makes sense and maybe after a run thru it will seem easy.... "sigh", any input from you who have been there done that will be greatly appreciated.

Since my above post (this makes #2, 8 to go :p ), heres whats progressed.

I bought a T-Mob pay as you go SIm card and can now call and text with my phone. That much seems to work fine. I have a 8 gb micro sd card installed which was formatted fat 32 on my pc first. Befor I got the sim card, the phone would appear to download apps but they would never actually load, just went thru the motions. Now, with the sim installed, I get this dialog box from google stating several possible reasons that I'm not getting nothing from them at this time. Well I think I know what the problem is, just dont know how to fix it, which brings me to the last bit of update to include. I was able to get a reply from zeubea himself, and tho it was short and sweet, and I appreciate that he took time at all to assist, I am in need of help understanding what to do...

So I am guessing its gapps that is preventing me from downloading apps. What I am asking for is a step by baby step proceedure, taking me by my hand and guide me thru all this so I learn without messing up. Please, if anyone can make sense of all this and assist, I'll be the most humble student ever...:angel:

Thank you...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMJaaay:
As far as I am aware you don't need to root the phone after its been rooted (unless you flash T-mobile's kernel .. but lets not get ahead of ourselves). Rooting unlocks the phone's admin and allows you to install and uninstall things you wouldn't be able to without admin control. However, rooting does NOT unlock a network locked phone. There are some ways to do this I'm sure, but rooting a phone itself would not automatically unlock it from a network if it was locked to begin with. Now lets assume your phone is both rooted and network unlocked. Now you can install custom ROMS (Operating Systems), etc.

I would highly recommend you download Cyanogenmod over other custom ROMs in terms of stability, ease of use and beginner-user friendly. You can get it here -> link. This guide by the CM team gives full instructions -> link.

Most custom ROMs come without the Google Apps. To download and install apps, you need Google Play Story (previously known as Google Market), though other ways to install exist as well but are slightly more complicated. When you install a custom ROM, in most cases, you also need to install Google Apps AFTER installing the ROM. You do this the same way as installing a ROM, through CWM (Clockwork Mod recovery). Do you know how to do this? Read the guide above for details. Depending on what Android Version you have, you need to download the appropriate gapps (Google Apps) file and flash (i.e install) that after the ROM. This should install Market (or as its now known, Play) on your phone and will let you install apps.

You don't need an SD card to install. But this phone is notorious for its small space. Just turn the phone off (to be safe), take the battery cover off and insert an SD card into the phone. After boot, it should recognise and be able to use your card normally. It will not effect anything and you can move some apps to your SD card to save some space. However, this doesn't save as much as possible and so some users partition the SD card and use Apps or scripts to make the phone use the SD card as an extension of its phone memory and free up space.

I know whats a lot of information but do have a look at the link and then if you have any more questions, ask. Its quite easy to root and you really shouldn't have to pay someone (especially such a high amount) just to root your phone.

I hope I've been helpful. If so, don't forget the Thanks button! :)

So I installed jelly bean when it came out. (Codename Android 3.6.0 at the time of writing, but the problem persists regardless of the specific rom I'm using). I noticed that none of the music players available in the play store can find my music on my sd card. They are all in a folder named mp3, but I even tried renaming it to music - no luck. Also, the only pictures I can see in my gallery are the ones that have been made since the installation of the current rom. Does anyone have an idea how to force the mediascanner to actually scan my media? Damn, I want my media so bad
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
I have no idea why your music isn't being picked up. That's usually never an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in.

As for the gallery pictures not showing up. Just download Quick Pic from the Play Store. The default Android Gallery has been crying to be put of out of its misery for awhile now. It's terrible and slow. Yes, you can transfer pictures to your device and the gallery will take 5 minutes to eventually display them. Quick Pic is superior and will instantly pick up any pictures you add. No waiting involved.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowert:
Thank you for the tip, QuickPic actually solved my gallery issue, what still remains is the music list not showing up in any of the players I have tried... (Winamp, Google Play Music, Apollo, just to name a few)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostman.it:
check if one of the apps in use is the media scanner in a constant state of reboot.

media scanner problems often are caused by malformed jpeg file, the bug usually lies in the Exif information, you can use this tool (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) to remove Exif information from the file, 95% chance that everything returns to work including music and video because the media scanner is shared and if it hangs on jpeg images then can not catalog other multimedia files.

you will lose data such GPS position but the photo itself will remain intact, many have pointed at Camera360 as one of the sources of these corrupted files and I can confirm that.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Alrighty. Just make sure there are none at the root of the SDcard or in folders where you want pictures to appear. Clockworkmod ROM Manager had a bug back a lil while ago where it put some .nomedia files in wrong folders, making people unable to find their music/picture.

Go to your apps, find Media Storage, and then clear data & cache.

Download Rescan Media from the play store and run it. Wait for a bit (5 minutes should be good) and if you check in your music player(s) you should be able to see your music.

First of all, galaxy mini = galaxy pop. They are the same. Next, just go to a thread that teaches you how to flash to 2.3.x. You have to do it via Odin not Kies. And the upgrades work for all, although it's recommended that u upgrade to the firmware for your country/area.
