[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Hopefully I'm ready to do this.

Currently on stock Froyo.

Phone is rooted and Bali 3.3 kernel has been flashed using sgs Kernel Flasher (so I can boot into CWM Recovery)

I've studied the guides by Lumin30, Juls317, & GDOFWR420...plus the Wiki. I just have 3 questions:

1. Should I flash GB with Heimdall, Odin, or CWM...or does it matter?

2. I'm assuming that a successful flash to GB will automatically install a GB kernel...or do I have to do that myself?

3. After flashing, do I restore apps & data with Titanium Backup or CWM...or does it matter?

Any input would be appreciated...thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
1. Heimdall one-click, easiest way. Flash twice to get bootloaders.

2. Taken care of.

3. I use titanium but I'm not sure you should restore data after switching to gb.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fabricatedhero:
Since you have a custom kernel giving you CWM just download the GB Rom of your choice.

Or try out CM7 too :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
If you do restore data, you'll want to do it from TB, not CWM. If you're currently on Froyo, you'll want to do SOMEthing to get the GB bootloaders... whether that's Heimdall, Kies, or... something else. :) Once you have the GB bootloaders, flash away! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
He'll need the bootloaders. So, just flashing from cwm won't really work. You'll get that lovely rainbow.

I wonder if Samsung kies would/is still upgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Kies is what I used to get to GB 2.3.6, so... should work for bootloaders, at least. But after that you'll still need to SOC or Heimdall to get something fun on, since that'll just leave you with pure-stock GB, unrooted and with CIQ firmly in place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Thanks for the responses...really appreciated. It's my understanding that Kies is not an option since it won't recognize a rooted phone. I probably need to do some more reading on bootloaders.
[HTC One V] BobbaLouie:
Anyone tried this yet?

I imagine you'd only see it if you are running the stock Sense Rom. I suspect it would cause issues with my root however, figured I wait a few weeks for smoke signals before I decide if it's something I need or not.

In your opinion is thus update worth It or should we just wait for the future updates? As far as the connection things go what will it update and what does it do with the connectivity? Does it make our data connection faster? Better reception maybe?

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

In your opiniopinion

Does this mean that our reception will be better and we'll get f as ter data speeds or what does the "optimization " do?
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
this is an edit.

I DO NOT recommend updating with this 73 mb update. there currently isn't an ruu that is compatible with the updated hboot this gives you. this is causing a lot of clutter around the forums. DO NOT update unless you're fine with not being able to downgrade back.
[HTC One V] HUAWEIu8652:
HELP

I did this update and can't restore device with ruu and im not running any rom AKA bricked but ive gotten out of this pickle before with ruu but now i cant any tips?
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
can you get into recovery at all? I'm not all that experienced with adb but there might be something you could do about it. I'm not exactly sure though.
[HTC One V] HUAWEIu8652:
Yes

Yes i can i can unlock relock bootloader root unroot flash recovery but ruu wont work and ive used it a million times before

I do have a backup but it won't boot how can I retrieve boot.img from it?TW TWRP 2.5
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
on your computer go to your SD card and go into TWRP folder and find your backup, just click in folders until you get to it. there should be a file called boot.emmc.win rename that one to boot.img then fast boot flash it. make sure not to use the md5 of it though.
[HTC One V] HUAWEIu8652:
no

sadly i didnt make boot ackup but will it work if i restore then make boot backup?
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
sadly, probably not. it will just backup whatever kernel you have now. you can download one of the roms that do work with the new radio. I'm gonna try and find one of my boots for you.

[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
I'll try this once I get some WiFi...it would be nice to be able to downgrade again.

edit: wait...is it capable of downgrading or is it just to get back to stock in case of emergency?
[HTC One V] Lsesp:
Which OTA are you looking for exactly? I have the stock Rom which is the PK76.img, I have the OTA for the new radio and I also have the latest OTA(73 mb) which is the one that updates the hboot. Let me know if I can help you.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

If you install the latest OTA it will update your hboot, which will make it impossible to restore your phone using the RUU, this is when having the PK76.img comes handy.
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
he wants a zip of the 73 mb ota. and I was asking if the ruu you found was capable of downgrading the radio back to the original version with the new hboot. I have a pk76 but it isn't compatible with the new hboot.
[HTC One V] Lsesp:
Here is the latest OTA
[HTC One V] demi_fiend:
its only 29kb?

[HTC One V] mgalyan:
I'm not sure the extent of this OTA, but I just got a One V CDMA and it had a radio installed that forced me to hack through an old RUU and get back to the 0521 radio, in order to run any custom ROMS.

They would flash, but go into an endless boot-loop.

I'd like to be able to run the new radios with a JB rom.

Rhythmic ROM works with the new radio

[HTC One V] Lsesp:
I HIGHLY recommend you do not install this OTA. Only reason i uploaded it is because someone asked for it.
[HTC One V] mgalyan:
Is there a way to flash only the new radios without wiping the phone and flashing over my unlocked HBOOT?
[HTC One V] Lsesp:
I don't think that's possible, although I don't know why you would want to do this since most ROMS don't work god with the new radio, it causes boot loops.
[HTC One V] :
a big noooo...

if you are a virgin mobile user go ahead and do it as it removes few patches and updates few Ui.

but if you have network unlocked the to your coutry based provider then pure no..

i did this update and guess what my network got locked after auto-reboot

few more problems that i faced as couldn't get back to where i could

1) tried to restore original backed up rom but couldn't as the md5 mismatch,

2) was not able flash RUU because not proper version support,

3) Jmzstock yes but wifi not working

i would not recommend you this update. a big noooo... man you are good at where you are. trust me :)

[HTC One V] jmz:
Yeah I found it after I asked. Thanks
[HTC One V] sbj175:
This is great, but I'm new here and have some questions. So bear with me...

My CDMA One V is rooted, but otherwise stock and has the latest OTA. I understand that most of the other kernels out there won't work with hboot 1.57 and if you try to install them you'll get stuck where you can't upgrade or downgrade to fix the problem.

I think you said you fixed this to work with 1.57 hboot. Is that a *tested* fix or a *theoretical* fix? What about the 928 radio - is that a problem still, or not? If not, I guess you're saying this is an ICS kernel and would allow me to, a) stay w/stock ROM, or b) install any other ICS based ROM like CM9? Am I on the right track? Thanks for the help!
[HTC One V] Gryff302:
If you are running stock rom, then you can download the ota zip file a page back and pull the boot.img from the ota zip. The kernel Simon made is for ICS based rom such as CM9. I am currently running CM9 with Simon's kernel and its fully functional (havent tested gps yet but will update that to make sure). Have had zero random reboots with this kernel. The CM9 i am using is Beyond's CM9 with Simon's kernel posted just a few posts away for the 1.57 hboot and .928 radio. For future reference, if you are running 1.57 hboot, then you are running .928 radio as well so the fix for that hboot also applies to the radio being fixed. :)
[HTC One V] sbj175:
I thought the stock rom was ICS too.
[HTC One V] simonsickle:
It is but the ramdisk inside is for aosp based ics. You can always extract the zimage from my boot.img and put it in one you get from sense with android kitchen. I'd post one for sense, cm9, cm10, and cm10.1 if I had the time right now but I just don't. When I get time, trust me I'll post them
[HTC One V] FatBoy_Seconds:
How do you flash the zip? It wouldn't flash for me
[HTC One V] skaterpunk:
ota

so what benefits does the new radio and hboot have?
[HTC One V] simonsickle:
More stable I guess. Usually updates also fix security holes too
[HTC One V] -Duir-:
Can the ramdisk from the stock boot.img inside the FOTA zip work for that, or does it need to be from a custom one (i.e. the old v 0.6 Sick Kernel)?

Any benefit to using one source over the other?
[HTC One V] simonsickle:
On sense use the stock ramdisk with my zImage
[HTC One V] -Duir-:
I did that and another member was nice enough to test it for me (as I have not updated my phone) and the WiFi doesn't work. He tried it with the modules from stock with the ota, from your v0.6 kernel, and even from JMZ's but no luck.
[HTC One V] simonsickle:
Well pull the module out of ramdisk. Ist in lib/modules
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmartinez39:
This is strange

But ever since I changed to the CM10.1 nightly, in regular voice calls, my phone randomly clicks and makes noises.

Just a little history. When I bought this phone only thing I did was unlock the boot loader and rooted it. I did the OTA Update to 4.2.2. Lasted like a month before changed to the CWM and flashed CM10.1

The thing I notice is that calls have clicking sound and just bugs me. Is this like normal?

Its only reason to flash back to stock. I like CM10.1 but sometimes I feel I should have left this phone alone and not root it since it is a Nexus. Also hate the CWM and the "blobs" and unable to access so easy that I have to use the Nexus 4 Toolkit. Minor annoyance

Anyhow, has anyone else encountered weird clicking when on calls?

Oh yeah I'm on 10.1-20130324-Nightly

I've not flashed nightly

Went through the whole process of downloading the original .pkg file and flashed that. All seemed to work, but when it rebooted it asks for a password which I do not have or know. I have read that is has to do with the partition structure for CM 10.1 (jellybean) vs. Honeycomb. Could someone who may have these files Please post them somewhere that we can access.

I ordered a HCT One Dev Edition and was wondering about where to go to flash roms and for support. I'm with at&t, but since the phone is the Dev Edition I was wondering if I need to stick here or I should go to the forum without a specific carrier?:confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Grizzly420:
For now the none carrier specific forum. The devices are almost identical in hardware. So until the at&t branded is rooted that's were i would suggest getting roms because there wont be any here to speak of.

If I'm wrong please correct me but I'm pretty sure this is correct.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gridlock489:
There is no "proper" forum since all of the devices are basically identical in hardware. In the AT&T "Development" forums you'll probably find ROMs based off of the AT&T firmware, complete with options for the carrier bloatware to be installed. To avoid that all together I would personally stick with the international (non-branded) forums. Eventually when the "Original Development" forums pick up then there won't be much of a difference. Until the developer edition ships to the U.S. customers, or until the bootloader is unlocked on the AT&T devices, I don't think we will see many ROMs being developed. By that time it will become a bit easier to navigate as the forums begin to blossom.

There is talk of combining the One boards into a single forum, which would really help to clarify the confusion :rolleyes: I really hope they do that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scotteb:
I have been trying to figure this one out for ages!!!

Can anyone answer why TW roms report signal strength different from AOKP. (I don't mean 4G vs LTE or faster or slower speeds) When I have a TW rom installed, I can go virtually all day and have no reported signal loss, but if I have a AOKP (all source android for that matter) installed and I use the phone in the exact same place I have as much as 50% time without signal while the whole time I actually have signal as I use the phone. On the TW rom, signal almost never goes less than one bar but yet I can have no signal at all, but if it is like that for any amount of time then it will show no signal, but the AOKP will show no bars but still have signal and yet it still reports as no signal.(maybe there is a different scale for signal strength) This doesn't just on my phone, as I have 3 that I tested on with the same result. There is no problem with signal as I have said and the phone works fine during this time unless signal is lost totally. Some say TW has faster DATA and BETTER signal, I have never experienced either, both seen just as fast, which is why I wonder if sammy does it on purpose with some code or if AOKP has a smaller scale in which to report the strenght, hench my issue.

Have searched but not found anything,
