And what are the install instructions? Do I need gapps? Is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Needed?

Step by step is best for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Download cm9.1 from that link i just gave

Download gapps - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Both to your phone of course

Reboot into recovery

Wipe Data/factory reset

Wipe cache

Go advanced and wipe dvalik

Go mounts and format system

Install zip from sd and pick cm9

Install gapps from sd

Reboot and wait

Its working.......

go to that link download "FXP203-cm-9-20130118-UNOFFICIAL-pepper.zip" file and the move to your sdcard and then fastboot boot.img file then go to CWM and wipe data, dalvik, then choose to install zip from SDCARD and the select the zip....

Then flash gapps.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
Quick questions.

What does the format system do?

and...

I haven't ever flashed a new boot.img before, will I need to?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
205 is out. Don't flash 203

Just wipes the inbuilt apps etc as you'll be adding the gapps. The boot.img is built in the cm9 zip. So it'll all get done when you flash

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
OK, so it wipes everything In /system/app? That's cool, I'll flash it in CWM later. I am just gonna find a way to backup the ROM and kernel and then I'll flash.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Backup in cwm first. Simple

Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
Will that backup boot.img?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
It'll backup the entire rom you have now so no matter what you can always restore back to exactly how your phone is now

Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
OK. But when I did a backup last time before flashing the ROM I have now, when I went to restore it, it said invalid MD5 sums?(no idea) do I have to do a normal backup and/or create a firmware.zip?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Just a normal backup. Old cwm used to screw up that's all that was. It's fixed now

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
I am running "old cwm". Where can I get the latest one for XU?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
You'll get it when you flash cm9 so in theory your backup should work

Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
Yeah but once I flash the boot.img from CM9 I will lose the stock boot.img! :eek::confused::what::banghead:

If I back it up with the CWM I have now with my stock kernel, can I restore it with the CM9 CWM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Yea

Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
OK I have just made a backup in cwm. Its got a boot.img file in it, which contains the stock kernel and ramdisk?

Also, if something goes wrong in the flashing process, will I get the invalid MD5 sums again?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
U shouldn't do. Besides have both cm9 and the c10 rom on your sd card and your safe anyway

OK I installed a version of CWM that isn't touch.

Also, if I do a backup in CWM now, will I get Invalid MD5 sums?

I have CM9, No Sh1t ROM and the gapps on my sdcard.

So all I have to do is make a backup, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash CM9, flash gapps, wipe again and reboot?

These are the CDMA/LTE radios for ICS on the Thunderbolt.

You need these to run any ICS rom for the Thunderbolt which uses the Official base.

Uhhhhh considering they came from an ota why wouldn't they?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _Stomp_:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios - pulled

Has anyone tried these radios on a non ICS ROM? Just curious. Lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Seems to work fine slower speeds but probably a lot better with the new RIL.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] craigviar:
Im a noob. I don't know these things, thats why I ask. =)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gabriel_hart:
I just loaded these up, so far so good.

I don't have access to 4G in the building I'm in, but I seem to be pulling 3G just fine. Despite this, twisted's rom is reporting 1x now... weird. I'm sure it's just being reported wrong, as the speeds are as good (or better) than usual.

EDIT: after a (self-performed) reboot or two, the signal indicators are now being reported properly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stolenphot0:
Thanks. Installed on ICY-S 8.5RC4 by MaceksMod. :good:

Only ever get 2 bars on LTE at my house and hitting 6Mbps with Speedtest app.

It is for Sense roms only......

Re: ICS OTA Official Radios and Kernel - pulled

Can't wait to get a kernel going for AOSP desensed ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DeTard:
Not really "AOSP desensed" as that implies that you are removing Sense and coming out with an AOSP ROM. AOSP, yes, but not desensed. ;) But yeah, I'd love to see what happens with it on AOSP myself, even though I just switched off my TB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dblfstr:
Does anyone have the stock ROM I can flash? No sim card = no OTA.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

It is going to be another day maybe two. Just be patient. It takes time to turn a ball of patches and turn it into the rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yeah I've been here since the the Thunderbolt was released it doesn't take that long to go from OTA to rooted rom. Plus he can just post the non-rooted version so other devs can be working on it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dblfstr:
Indeed.

Yes, I was talking pure OTA Stock ROM. I was under the impression that one could just post a ROM dump and I would go on flashing like normal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

Hmmm last I checked he is pretty much the only one left..... Also, how much do you know about the process of taking an ota and turning it into a rom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:

I have a general idea of how it's done but I was just talk to liquid and he said it wouldn't take that long.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Oh good, then have him do it.

Enjoy!

It's not the same as it used to be and it's not an RUU.

I meant no offense and we appreciate what you are doing it's just hard to wait.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
Santod, we simply could not do this without you.

I'm glad we still have you here on the Thunderbolt forums.

We'd be screwed without you. The effort and sacrifice you put into this for us is beyond my simple "thanks".

I plan on contributing to you asap and I strongly encourage others to do the same.

Besides, it's only fair. You contribute to us all the time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Not a problem at all guys.

I am very happy to help and contribute where and whenever I can.

Just have some more patience guys, it will come.

It's not just an RUU or a simple zip file that can be restructured, rooted and posted.

It has over 200+ patch files that have to be dealt with as well, all of which are encrypted.

Including the build.prop.

This doesn't mean it can't or won't be rooted and posted, just that it's not as simple as everyone seems to think.

So unless someone else wants to do it for us, I don't wanna hear how quick and easy it is.

But nonetheless, I will work on getting it done later today/tonight.

Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

I saw a question earlier today asking if anyone has tested these radios on a gingerbread ROM.

I took it upon myself and flashed them with InfectedROM Eternity and they seemed to work just fine. I'm not certain they are better than using the old .9 or .19 radios. But I'd say they are safe to try out. I maintained good 4G, but I also maintained a good 4G connection with the .9 radios using InfectedROM Eternity.

Again, I only tested with InfectedROM Eternity.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Raikalo:
New radios. Went from running barely 3 bars of spotty 4G and cell service to full bars with an excellent, immediate 4G connection. ROM = Thundershed.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] brizey:
Hope this is not too soon, but I think we finally have our magic radios. Too bad it only took about 22 months, lol.

You know, I have been thinking...ICS is undoubtedly absurdly late...but really, I wonder how many non-nexus devices get two full generation updates (we got froyo to gb to ics). I have (well, my kid has) an Acer A200. It got ICS very quickly after release but that was it and per Acer, no JB. My wife has a Droid 4 (GB out of the box) and there is no word if it is getting JB. I would like to see someone like Android Police do an article that analyzes the upgrade patterns of all the non-nexus devices. And just to be complete, Apple is no better. My first gen iPod touch only got two generation upgrades (1.x to 2.x to 3.x). So yes, ICS is late, but really, we may be lucky that a Froyo device got it at all.

But it is still absurdly late, lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Devildog8791:
The OG Incredible got two updates, but I was definitely surprised to see the Thunderbolt get ICS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dblfstr:
Hey santod,

Thanks for the clarification. I did not realize that this OTA update was not a flash-able RUU or a zip that could be easily dumped and flashed. I only have had a Thnunderbolt for a week, so I am not aware of all of its quirks. Where I come from, when we would get and update we could just go download the signed RUU and flash away. Either that or post a ROM dump here for everyone to have.

These thunderbolt threads are all but dead. It is nice to see there are a few who still contribute. Take your time, and keep up the good work.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

We typically get the ota in Ruu form. This is the first time I have ever heard of it being a bunch of patches. No big deal though. We already have ics roms to use and the roms that Santod has made are some of the best around. The only thing I'm interested in getting my hands on is the source for the kernel at this point but that will be a while still.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arh2o:
Yea that's odd. The full RUU must be floating around somewhere, Verizon would need that in case an OTA failed and messed up a customer's phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

They are the ones that sent the patches. Plus I think htc doesn't want us to have the Ruu anymore because it means we can fix our phones software ourselves most of the time using them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Yeah, the local Verizon shop told us recently that HTC cranked these phones out about as fast as the US built Shermans. They didn't want these phones fixed they wanted to sell us new phones. :laugh:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Raikalo:
Does anyone know if the OTA is worth it? We lose root, of course, but I'm anxious to see the improvements over gingerbread (if any). I've used some of the ICS leak-based ROMs and I just wasn't too keen on them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coolsilver:
New OTA Radios working great with the ICS leak. Data connection greatly improved so far. I can only hope it be even better with revised RIL and Kernel installed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Shouldn't be long now.....

Couple hours at most probably.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

Radios work better in general. Some locations see no difference, while other areas see obvious improvement.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
Let's not glorify the fact that Verizon shipped their flagship device with an out of date operating system.

I was pretty pissed when I got home and realized my 2 year old D1 was running GB, but my new Thunderturd wasn't.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] meblah741:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

Thought I'd drop my two cents on this. It's still early but I installed the radios last night. Usually by this time I'd be on my charger, but I still have 50% battery left. Still early to tell but I hope this holds up.

Thanks to those that still contribute to the Thunderbolt cause :)

page plus question

First of all awesome job getting this out so quick. Some time ago I sent my TBolt into Page Plus Cellular (Verizon reseller can't recommend enough, much cheaper than VZW and no contracts even if no 4G) to be flashed so my phone would work with "their" network (still Verizon's with different branding). They flashed a stock rom which I have long ago overridden but I think they flashed a few other things including antenna firmware as well. Its listed as 1.48.00.0906w_1, and 0.01.78.0906w_2 which are older. My question is will flashing these new antenna no longer allow my TBolt to work with Page Plus? Thanks for the help in advance.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] lukesed:
Using these radios with Santod's ROM is the first time I've had LTE actually work with ICS on this phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dumas777:
to answer myself

UPDATE: It turns out flashing new radios didn't affect being able to connect to the Page Plus network (can still call at least, haven't tried data but being on the 10 meg a month plan I rarely use data anyway) and in fact I ended up having to flash the new baseband to get the stock rom just released to not blue screen and reboot after just a few minutes (which did with old radio). With the new radio everything is working great at least on the new rom. I am surprised how smooth the new rom is being sense and all. It seems to lag less even than the last released stock rom which was sense 2.1. Don't have a feel on battery life yet but so far may even been good enough for a daily driver once some mods get released.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mi7chy:
My LTE is cycling even with the new baseband. As a matter of fact, it's going into a tantrum right now and has cycled about six times within the last minute or so just when I'm about to download Santod's rooted ICS ROM and had to switch to WIFI to download. Hoping the ICS update will stabilize it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

Mine was doing that to but not as bad. It seems like the new radio tries a lot harder to stay on 4g than previous radios. On the plus side though I noticed that when it does it data doesn't flake out like before. It also handles the transition to 3g a lot better. Try pulling your Sim for a minute or two and putting it back in. It could need a prl update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brizey:

These new radios are so good I am afraid to use my upgrade at the end of the month now, lol.

Re: ICS OTA Official Radios

Thanks for separating and uploading these so quickly santod, much appreciated! My signal strength has NEVER been this good on any previous radios.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ionace7:
I feel the same way, Verizon emailed me saying I'm up for an upgrade but with this new update I think I will stay with my T-Bolt for a while... at least until a new Nexus phone with LTE.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nomad1600:
Agreed, I haven't had a signal below 3 bars of 4G since switching to the new radios and most of the time I have gotten 4 bars. I will keep my eyes open for any new ROMs that eventually appear once the great devs have gotten their hands on source and kernels but until then I can be very happey with ThunderShed 1.6.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] timber03:
I updated both mine and my wife's phone. same ics rom, same radio's.... baseband is identical in phone info, however my phone will not hold onto a network. Most of the time will get stuck on 1x, then eventually get a 3G or 4G signal, but will cycle on/off. Her phone is working perfect, with full 4G. I don't get it. Do I need to reflash radio again ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Either:

reflash radio

Pull sim, wait a minute, put back in and reboot

Or check with VZW about getting a new Sim, they can go bad.

Also make sure you are using an Oem battery cover and that it's making good contacts when on the device.

The battery cover, as most know, contains part of the antenna for cell signal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] timber03:
Found the issue... amazingly it's the battery cover. I was using an extended battery and cover I had bought off ebay. I put the original HTC cover on with oem battery and getting full bars 4g. Speedtest is giving 20 down/12 up. The insane thing about this is I didn't have any issues prior to radio upgrade... and the extended battery cover doesn't have tarnish on the connectons at all, however the HTC cover has "better" looking gold contacts. Now maybe I'll actually spend the money on the seido cover + 3200mah battery. I hear that it works excellent on 4g.

Thanks for the help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] peters4n6:
I seem to be having the same problem; incredibly, I just bought an extended battery too from ebay, so I'm thinking it might be the battery cover, too. Will put back original cover later and test. I already reflashed radios to no avail.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

FWIW, I get 2 or 3 4G bars but cannot connect. When I do it is very transient.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] peters4n6:
yep...put back original battery and cover and have rock-solid signal. Non-OEM battery covers has gold-colored foil contacts where the OEM is actually metal.
