[One (M7) Android Development] rpmccormick:
Ok. I finally got around to doing the Firmware (had S-OFF, SuperCID, and new radio for a long while).

I didn't want to miss anything, so I downloaded all three of the 2.x firmwares from the OP and combined them into one (keeping the newer of any duplicate file names). So not only did I move the tp_ image over from 2.24...1, but I also grabbed adsp.img and tz.img, and then I also grabbed cir.img from 2.17. Finally I deleted hboot as I am happy staying on 1.44 with my custom splash and the red text.

I followed the guide for SECTION 2: FIRMWARE UPGRADE on the OP. It worked fine for me the first flash, unlike the OP requiring a second attempt. I got a few failures, but so does the 2nd attempt on the OP. Are we sure this is all getting programmed?

I guess it just does that for the first 2 parts and then it is fine after getting the 3rd part?

Anyway, here is my getvars before and after:

I hope this radio and FW still give me the 1700MHz HSPA+ that only TMO models have. I am in a 1900MHz area so it's hard to tell, but as I understand it the 1700 band still works here too, and it goes to 42mbps instead of only 21mbps on the 1900. Is any of that correct? :)
