[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goblinlord:
I think you have that worded badly... but I understand what you are saying. If there is a problem with the recovery you still have the bootloader to rebuild from. If there is a problem with the SPL/bootloader (i.e. unable to boot because of an incompatible radio) there is not much you can do to fix it. Either way, this really has nothing to do with my question. I understand the concept of how it works... and how things run/boot in Android. My question was... why will flashing from recovery f up the phone as opposed to flashing using fastboot. Looking at it more in depth... it looks like when you flash via fast it does some verification on the device to ensure the file is valid and at the moment the update zip files aren't setup to do this.

I just don't understand why it is dangerous to flash through recovery. Especially since it is scripted... couldn't you do some kind of check to verify the device is running a valid device to use it (similar to a script used when flashing a ROM) as well as a do a check on the image file to verify it isn't corrupt prior to flashing it from an update file? No file transfer to interrupt... the only thing that I could see going wrong that would not be prevented is if someone forced it to shut down during the flashing process (possibly by removing the battery or some such scenario). Wouldn't this be much safer??? Is there something preventing this from being done? Also, why would you not want to setup the update.zip files like this in the first place??? Considering anyone doing any flashing more than likely has a custom recovery anyways.

Mainly, I ask this because flashing mine I can use this method... but my friends doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and I didn't want to unlock it. I will need to flash through recovery in that situation.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
It's just theoretically safer...

I've heard of recovery flashes going bad, but I've never heard of a bad fastboot flash.

Since getting my N1, I hardly ever touch the PC anymore, so I always flash direct from the phone. I just understand and accept the risks (however minimal).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goblinlord:
I also understand the risks... honestly, I am kind of hoping I can help come up with a "safer" way to create the update.zip files for the radios so that there is no need to use any method other than recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Sounds like a noble plan! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Nobody is going to go to that effort because a failsafe method already exists... called fastboot... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goblinlord:
True enough... but it doesn't really accommodate those with locked bootloaders does it? What I think would probably be a simple addition to the update script would accommodate everyone. Anyways, I would think an md5sum check in a script is quick, simple, and safe. Also, no need for people to have fastboot installed on their computer.

Either way, I think it would be useful in certain situations and a "safety net" for those who don't have an unlocked bootloader so that they don't need to manually do all the checking. I will come up with whatever is needed and then post it up when I have the time ^^.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larf2k:
Trying to get the facts straight...

Okay. So my situation is HORRIBLE 3g/HSPA speeds on T-Mobile, Seattle. Not usable speeds (less than 20kb/s a lot of the time). I'm running Froyo 2.2.1, CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1, and I have Baseband 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7.

I have CyanogenMod loaded with ROM manager after using UniversalAndRoot to root my phone. So the bootloader is still locked. I don't really have an issue with unlocking the bootloader - I don't think I'll be cashing in on the warranty.

From what I've read in this post it seems that the fastboot/bootloader method is the most safe. But you can flash a new radio with an update.zip, but for some reason that is riskier...still don't really understand why. I understand the ultimate risk of updating a radio is bricking the phone, but is it because you are introducing an incompatible element to the bootloader (...?)

My questions:

Will updating/changing my radio help my speeds? My mouth waters at some peoples speedtest.net screenshots...

Did CM 6.1 change my radio or do I need to do that separately?

Is the Korean radio an option and why is it so much "better"?

I've honestly been trying to wrap my head around this so any help would be appreciated. Sorry to be such a newb :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
CM 6.1 recommends the 5.12 radio, and doesn't update it for you - you have to do it manually...

Fastboot carries less risk (never heard of it bricking a phone).

Recovery carries more risk...

I'm in eastern WA, using 6.1 with 5.12, and have great speeds. Seattle has H+ so you should be getting better speeds than me...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maruzziello:
Hey DJcmnz,

thanks for this thread. Very precise steps, to follow with care.

I have successfully updated my radio from 5.08.00.04 to 5.12.00.08.

Details of my N1:

The bootloader is stock (no BlackRose) which shows the pink line at the top ****UNLOCKED****

The recovery is ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0

The ROM is stock MIUI 2.3.30, the Android version is the 2.3.7 (GingerBread)

The bootloader screen now shows correctly the new version number of the radio, as well as in the ROM's system menu.

I have only used the fastboot method to update the radio, I could have done it from recovery, but actually fastboot is really "fast" and it does not require to switch on and off the external storage on the phone to put the files on the SD.

If I may suggest something:

I would emphasize the fact that at the prompt one should be in the current folder for the command [fastboot flash] to work,

step 14 (watch the little indicator on the phone screen) does not really happened on my phone, not sure why. I waited after the prompt told me that it was done, and then rebooted to the bootloader again via fastboot.

I have read around for few days, and happened to understand that the bootloader has to be unlocked, regardless of S being ON or OFF, in order for this flash to work. Maybe adding this in the prep phase would help.

Last, the title of this could be "how to safely update your radio for Froyo and GingerBread using Fastboot.

Thanks again!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PLPOZ311:
Hey guys I am new to the whole android thing so these issues may just be related to that, I love the phone with the exception that it does not have a roam only function and from what I can tell an app or widget could be coming soon.

My first issue is the time in some of my text messages is 3-4 hours fast only on the incoming messages and not on the ones i send out. It is very sporadic with what messages it chooses to do this too, like half of the incoming messages will be a few hours fast and the others will be in time with my outgoing messages. Any ideas?

My second is i can not figure out how too sync my itunes up with my evo...i downloaded the itunesagent suggested to sync but for some reason my evo wont let me sync all my songs, it synced 4 out of a thousand and some change, what should i do?

My third problem is using the htc sync...i have my email account set up through google and synced my contacts using the account setting on the device but will that also sync all of my other information like text messages and apps/widgets downloaded?

like i said i am new so i may just be overlooking critical steps but i would greatly appreciate any words of advice

Thanks,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
If you're using a Mac download iTuneMyWalkman and use that to sync. You basically need a "middle man" to communicate with iTunes.

Check this link out:

I really like that website. It has tons of tutorials for newbs like us. Try it out and post back if it works. I got mines to work on my mac 100%.

I have a Sprint TP2 with stock ROM (updated from 6.1 to 6.5) and I installed Slacker but when I choose a station it keeps saying:

Oops! Something went wrong. Skip to the next track.

And when I do nothing happens. It does this for any station I try. Happened on my TP2 and my mom's TP2 with 6.1

Then I installed Pandora and it works okay but the buttons are wayyy too small. It's meant for VGA not WVGA.

Any suggestions? Even if you can point me to good threads I'd appreciate it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Have you tried increasing the TCP window? Change to 98304 from 415030.

If that doesn't work, try installing this CAB:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] pcorlatan:
i actually checked out the TCP change and my number was 65000 (actually 65XXX cant remember the exact number) instead of 98304 and when i changed it to 415030 no change happened, even after Soft Reset. I changed it back to the original 65XXX.

I will try out that CAB and post my results when I can.

Thanks for your help!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Try the TCP window of 98304. When I had pandora installed it helped music playback, maybe its similar for slacker.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] pcorlatan:
Changed from the original of 65536 to 98304 and soft reset but Pandora still has the screwed up UI (im guessing still VGA sized). Also Slacker LOOKS fine (finger friendly and all) but the same "OOPS!" error mentioned above still happens

Oh and no luck with that CAB either. nothing changed

Thanks for the suggestions though

I'm really hoping this isn't a hardware issue as I would dread having to go get my EVO replaced and restore everything to how i have it, but I'm having an odd problem.

WiFi randomly stops working after a reboot sometimes. I turn it on, it scans for about 4-5 seconds, says "Unable to scan for networks" and then WiFi turns off. The only way I can solve it is by flashing back to flipz' stock rooted ROM. Reboots won't solve it, battery pulls won't solve it, turning on and off different networks won't solve it, nothing. Has anybody else had this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks guys.

I like the HTC branded one too for it's power and size but here is a really good travel charger to consider.

http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlin...ID=PGU3838R_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0

It has a battery built in so it can also function as a backup battery when you're traveling and need a quick charge. With a 25% off for being a premier customer it's $29.99.

I'm pretty sure I saw some on Amazon
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
I found a kit for the iPod and iPhone that provides a 5V/1A car and home charger that allows the device to work properly (no wonkiness with the screen). They're both USB plugs and then you plug in a microUSB cable that you've provided (it comes with an iPod cord). The phone doesn't unfortunately recognize them as anything but USB BUT they are higher current so they should charge faster than the typical devices.

It's made by Philips and says "Fast charging at home & in the car" on the front. The part number is DLM2264/17.

This is the same thing on Philips' website (though on this link it's branded DLO and the one I bought is not).

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=DLM2264D/17&scy=us&slg=en
