He brings a good point. Did you download the file from your phone? For some reason downloading files from your phone when the site does not give the size of the file prior to starting it, the file only downloads like 300k of the .zip. What is the size of your image? if its smaller than 25meg then you should download it from a computer and not your phone.

I never download files on my PC first. Transferring them over USB can corrupt them just as easy. I will say that downloading slowly over 3g can cause you problems but with 4g I never have a problem. He needs to try downloading them again with an good internet connection and make sure the file size matches and that the md5 matches. What is your current baseband?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
So your telling me you have never "successfully" downloaded a file that only ends up being 300kish? I get it all the time and the only explanation i can give is that the source does not upload the size of the fiel first
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
No I'm saying it doesn't happen every time to me like it does in your case. I have had bad downloads but it isn't because I used my phone.I download everything with ,my phone because my 4g downloads at 1.5MB/s. If you have that problem again try an different browser. Sometimes opera works well.

Running the stock de-bloated with the new radios with no stability issues... but 4g disappears, 1x appears, 3g sometimes comes in and out in between. Very spotty.

What version & date comes up in recovery with the OP recommended radios?

Mine still days Feb 2011.

I copied the radio zip to root named PG05IMG.ZIP & flashed in bootloader. I get terrible instability and revolts in seconds, even in airplane mode, with debloatdeodexed.

Took me an hour go back to bootloader to restore GB backup.

Something is wrong with my bolt. But, GB works fine. Dang.

OP, thanks for all your hard work! It's absolutely incredible to have a rooted, deodexed ROM so quickly after the OTA hit.

Question: Are these new radios compatible with GingerBread? If I install the radios and then the ICS ROM, and want to revert to my Nandroid backup (stock GB), will 4G be usable?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Thanks, I have had nothing but good reports with the radios on ICS and GB. :)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] donc113:
P

I can verify that. I upgraded and had to backgrade to GB (stock... Rooted) and ICS radio is fine.

But... The reason I had to backgrade is because my favorite tethering pgm. (wifi tether for root) quit working under ICS. It would error starting so its built in DNS server wouldn't issue an IP address.

Anyone have any ideas why this would happen and/or an alternate tethering via wifi program that does work with ICS?

Edit: ok, I'm the idiot, I didn't read every msg in this thread. Wifi tether works perfectly if you change device profile from thunderbolt to rezound. My bad... I'm on ICS again and liking it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] unctucker:
Okay. So how do I explain the two times I tried flashing the rom and it freezes at the lock screen and never comes back on. I have to remove the sdcard and remove the battery while plugged in to my computer. Used a YouTube video to reset my thunderbolt. I have flashed many roms and use 3 randomly every month or so. All I was asking was if anyone was having the same problem and if someone could help me with a resolution. I have nusense as one of my 3 in rotation. Sorry if I confused anyone here with my question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
Are you using boot manager to swap between your ROMs?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] unctucker:
Rom Manager then 4 ext recovery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Sounds like you are not selecting the Format all except sd option in Recovery.

Before flashing the rom.

Also be sure you have the new radios installed.

My custom roms do this for you anyway, in case you forget, don't know how, or are too lazy.

But I didn't feel like posting stock roms for the entire Thunderbolt community that would wipe people's data, should they only want to reflash the same rom again to restore system.

So you need to do this manually in Recovery or the Boot partition won't get wiped and will not want to boot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JoeyDVDZ:
Just wanted to give you a huge thanks for your UnSense rom over at infected... it's perfect! Works like a charm, and no sense! (At least, not much. I did grab the mms and camera.)

You rock hard, sir. Keep up the amazing work!

So, quick update.... Hulu Plus and Netflix don't work in the UnSense ROM, and MX player only works in software decoding mode. One weird thing with Netflix; if you hit the back key, just before the scrambled mess that is whatever you're watching returns to the main screen, it goes clear as a bell for a split second & you can see whatever it is you were watching.

Other than that, it's pretty freakin sweet. Oh, and both apps work fine in the fully sensed version of the rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] unctucker:
So flashing the radio here is ok to go back to GB correct?

Yes you should be fine.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serval99:
Hi there,

today I started with rooting, downgrading and installing a custom ROM on my HTC Desire Z / Vision (not a t-mobile G2)

Everything went fine, except for one crucial thing:

While I can select recovery mode, it just won't proceed into recovery mode. After selecting recovery mode, the screen turns black while displaying a small image of a phone coupled with a red coloured triangle with exclamation mark.

So far that is the same problem as discussed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15771495

The solution described there is to push simultaneously VOL down + Power button. Then indeed a new screen with blue letter appear, but selecting the given option "apply update.zip from sdcard" won't do the trick. Even though I named the CM 7.2 ROM as such.

It keeps on telling me that verification failed.

So in short, recovery mode does not give me the option of installing zip file from sd card.

As suggested here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130106 I could use an older version. But which one?

Thank you very much in advance! I am out of options and ideas basically.

Some system info

Vision PVT Ship S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.0005

RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3

eMMC-boot
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Re: [Q] Can't select install zip from sd card in recovery mode

Well my guess is you did some silly way to root which did not instruct you to install a custom recovery. You are best to follow the xda wiki to root your phone as you will get true radio soff, a custom recovery, super cid, sim unlocked, an engineering bootloader, and a better understanding of android

The triangle is stock recovery, does you know good, the bootloader you have will not allow for fastboot flashing a new one. If you still have a boot able is you could install the flash image binary, busybox, and su, then use a terminal emulator to flash a custom recovery. But you will be best off downgrading and following the gfree method to exploit your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serval99:
Thank you for your reply.

I sure could have done something wrong, at some points the whole procedure confused me. I tried to stick with the XDA wiki guide, but there are several and all of them were useful at some points. Slowly I am getting to know this whole side of Android more, but slowly.

I actually did all the things you mention, using busybox, su and using the gfree method. But as far as I know I have not used a terminal emulator.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well there is only one guide IN THE WIKI maybe best to just start over with this guide, dont skip any step just ask a question if it confuses you

otherwise strawmetal made a great PDF GUIDE that many say is a lot easier

both methods are the same just stick with one, downgrade fully, use gfree to exploit, flash the engineering hboot and recovery of choice.

if you follow all of this completely, read and understand, it is really very easy and the long term benefits are amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serval99:
Well, I did as you suggested and it did work out in the end. I really appreciate the help you gave me!!

Had a bit of trouble with actually selecting the install zip from sdcard option, as the power button wouldn't have any effect. A bit of google learned that the trackball is the proper button.

Anyway, I just had about half an hour of playtime with the CM 7.2 mod until I opted to reboot it just to see how that would go.

Unfortunately, that brought problems. After booting into the home screen it might work for some time (varies) including using apps and wifi, it will reboot randomly.

Obviously I searched for answers, there is some talk about wiping dalvik cache. So I did that (and partition wipe), and now waiting for and if the next random reboot takes place.

Edit: unfortunately, the random reboot did take place. Is it best to reinstall CM7.2 but prior to that data wipe? And after it a dalvik wipe, or should I go to 7.1?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yeah you should always wipe everything clean prior to flashing a new ROM or update, sometimes youre OK not doing this but until you are very well immersed in android and know when you don't have to I always recommend complete wipes, superwipes, fastboot -w, whatever, just be clean

Rizzoizzo made a great guide on how to flash ROMs for beginners, you'll find it within the first few pages of general section, there you will find instructions as well as links to superwipe scripts etc. Be sure to thank him for his guide
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serval99:
Again, thank you very much for your suggestion! Without your tips it would have given me the proverbial headache.

It seems to have fixed the random reboot problem. After wiping and new flashing it never spontaneously rebooted again! I am slowly adding additional apps, and then only the ones the masses use like BBC, CNN and Firefox.

I have to say, it really is so much better with a custom rom. Loads of highly useful options you never had in the stock rom. I am really curious about the battery performance though, we'll see.

For any future readers with the same problem, the guide referred to is this one
