6. eMIUI 12.11 by eevek (eMIUI_0.12.11_final.zip)

LET'S START THE SCENARIOS

Steps on how i proceed follows below so you'll have reference too.

ACTUALs that happened during my flashing time.

===============================================

===============================================

SCENARIO 1 = 12.03 eMIUI / December 6, 2010

CURRENT PHONE STATE before flashing 12.03 eMIUI:

a. I am on alex V rom, i flash this after rooting and S-Off on the day V1.8 was released.

b. Radio version is 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23,

c. My recovery is AmonRa V2.0.0 (from the thread named [Recovery] [14-Nov-2010] RA-desire-v2.0.0 [GSM])

d. HBoot-0.93.0001

e. AlphaRev S-Off

1) Flash the Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 in recovery

Flash Zip from Card, choose the radio zip file

Wait till it extracts, then install.

There would be a text "reboot now to finish installation"

The phone will reboot and in my phone the android coming out of the box displays

Allow to complete.

In my phone it actually goes back to the recovery after that.

2) Then i flash the RIL the same way.

I have to toggle the signature verification to disable for it error out.

Then after disabling flashing proceed.

3) On recovery again, Wipe all userdata (in AmonRa i use WIPE ALL USERDATA)

Wipe Dalvik Cache too (in AmonRa Wipe Only Dalvik-cache)

Then i flash the eevek MIUI. (12.03f)

Then i flash the update.(12.03f update only)

Reboot.

It took more than ten minutes and it is not booting.

I take out the battery and go to recovery again (VOL DOWN + POWER Button)

4) I flash it again.

Reboot.

Works fine.

I actually read the MIUI Au site to anticipate how its gonna behave after the Radio flashing.

(Note: If you have problems getting the phone to work with the new Radio ROM (eg continual rebooting), restore your phone using the Nandroid backup and then try installing the MIUI-Au ROM before the Radio ROM)

SCENARIO 2 = 12.11 eMIUI / December 12, 2010

1) After flashing 12.11 GPS signal not connecting...

As always, we are advised to have a FULL BACKUP

If you did not do so, you maybe in deep sh*t.

2) I restore backup, now i am back to my old files.

I restore the RADIO 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 < THIS IS MY Original RADIO

My current phone state follows.......

CURRENT PHONE STATE before flashing 12.11 eMIUI:

b. Radio version was back to 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23,

c. My recovery is AmonRa V2.0.0 (from the thread named [Recovery] [14-Nov-2010] RA-desire-v2.0.0 [GSM])

d. HBoot-0.93.0001

e. AlphaRev S-Off

3) Go to Recovery

I Flash the eMIUI (eevek 12.11)

After successful flash, i reboot. All loads up well.

Everythings normal, i check display, it is eating up too much uAh from my observation,

but not that big difference from the previous 12.03, so i can live with it.

(this maybe different from your observation, see your phone settings > battery use.)

Phone signal as usual is great on my stock RADIO.

I went outside, i test GOOGLE BRUT and PAPAGO X5. nyahahaha, Not LOCKING

GPS not STABLE!, Go back to the table again.

4) Go to recovery, I flash the VorkKernel found in here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782875

I use the 01-Dez-10: version, There is actually an update for 02-Dez-10: but havent flash

This is the file i flash

vorkKernel-SVS-BFS-BFQ-SLQB-01-Dez-10-2.zip

Reboot.

5) I went outside, BINGO! GPS lock, WIFI locks, Data okay, other settings okay.

I tested the PAPAGO X5 for Android on 12/15/2010 > from Tampines Mart to Tampines MRT, IT is working as expected. Brut Navigation is okay as well.

Restore my installed Apps + Data using MIUI backup, FYI, I don't use Market a lot but the market that comes in with this app works.
