I have the Radio.img file. When I try to get into fastboot it just goes to ClockWorkMod.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
just leave your phone on charge only and usb debugging. you will do everything else through adb. Here is mike1986 readme text. The help link really helps.

fastWhat do you need?

Finally got the radio flashed, but I still feel like an idgit.

My Inspire is against going into fastboot. Actually, when I hold vol- and pwr, it boots up exceptionally fast, but no bootloader. :) I was able to run the hackerize app to get into fastboot, and everything went gravy from there.

So why can't I get my phone to just power into fastboot? Of course I also tried vol+ and power, but it still just boot the phone up really quick.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Anyone tested audio fix with my ROM? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Ok so I think I figured out that I just follow he guide included with the radio file after I s-off the phone. Let's keep in mind I am doing this in bootcamp on a macbook using windows 7 64 in vmware. So anyway it almost appears the s0off app has frozen. How long does it take to complete?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Can you elaborate on applying this? Thanks again your support is amazing!

Fixed my problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] mckooter:
Was about to go ahead and flash, looking for a good sense 2.1 rom. like my current but theres a bit of lag here and there.

then i saw the 5.1.7 preview info in the changelog, ill be honest i worry about filesystem changes. lets say i go ahead and go with 5.1.7 when its released, and i want to flash cm7 later (i flash a lot). what are the risks of moving to ext4? would a flash of any other rom restore this filesystem (i was under the impression, no)
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
Ok my signal keeps switching from H to 3g a lot and I don't have bad signal at all Im even using the recommended radio and I installed it just the way the instructions said. And I have flashed many times before and never had a problem with H and 3g switching back and forth.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aluminum Gerbil:
Really digging this ROM! Thanks for all your work!

One question, does anyone else have the problem where you can't long hold in a folder to create a shortcut to an app? It's the only problem I've run into, other than that this ROM seems perfect to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
CM7 will just reformat your system partition back to EXT3, nothing else :)

Battery drain still present

I flashed this ROM the day it came out. I felt a huge performance increase immediately, but after I've tested and followed the battery recommendations (calibrating, using CurrentWidget), I'm still a little worried about the battery drain.

With sync on (for Google apps, no HTC sense account) and NO user apps installed (other than Maps and CurrentWidget), I get -160mA on average per minute in the CurrentWidget log while the phone is left idle, with GPS and WiFi off, data connection on.

Is it worth a shot to install SetCPU and evaluate its impact on battery life? Is anyone else experiencing this same battery drain?

Thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
I have some battery drain too. My problem lies in having the wrong radio and not being able to.find a flashable zip I can use in bootloader to rectify my problem. I Absolutely Love This ROM - especially with my Code Red theme. I was wondering - if I can figure out how/where to place the radio, could I make this a PD98IMG.zip and flash it that way? My P.C. cannot get Android SDK so I can only use.flashable sips that can be installed via bootloader. I really don't want to switch roms, but desperately need to figure this out!!! Anyhelp would be awesome - and again : Thanks for the awesome work!!!

[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
Noob question. Is there a reason to use ext4? I am currently using 5.16 and have not run into any issues. Is it just for speed boost and performance? Also now that I remembered to turn fast boot of gps instalocks 6-7 sats. Great work
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
its in the first post man! i have used this rom since3.0 and i always for my own sake just do a wipe(after backup with tit backup) and then flash new rom. i just did the same thing as well as first flashing the ext4 file, just to make it as direct as posssible... no issues here. good luck man
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
Someone mentioned regarding 5.1.6 that even though wifi works, it doesn't show the wifi icon in the title bar when wifi is on.

Turn bluetooth on, and the BT icon displays in the Titlebar, but not so with wifi.

I don't remember now if it ever showed up.

Maybe it isn't even supposed to.

No big deal for me - wifi works just fine - I just thought I'd mention I have no wifi icon in the title bar even though wifi is on.

So far, all is good.

Great ROM, Thanks!

Sending another donation :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
All my icons work here....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeyfeng:
So I have 5.1.6 right now. I don't have to do anything special (just don't use rom manager) to install 5.1.7?
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
Oh yes, it is there.

I was mistaken.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
You can install right over 5.1.6, just don't use ROM Manager.

Although; I did the EXT4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ilkevinli:
Is anyone elses GPS not working with 5.1.7 ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeyfeng:
so you have to do something else to get EXT4?
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
Mike mentions to not flash this ROM with Rom Manager.

However, I like to backup my whole Rom with Rom Manager.

Now that I'm flashed with EXT4 and 5.1.7, can I still use Rom Manager to Backup my Inspire after I get it all set up the way I like it?

[HTC Inspire 4G] JC_Miller:
i used clockwork to flash my ROM, i dont know any other way to flash... other than that i keep getting lower scores on my quadrant tests
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeyfeng:
ok, so how do i format to EXT4? I just downloaded the script.

Is this how?:

Download "Format data partition using EXT4 filesystem" script and place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

is there a special folder i need to place it in?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RayYung:
You can put it wherever you like, then flash it with CWM recovery.

Remember:

IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Mine didnt at first. I just reinstalled locations. Then i turned on my gpstest app along with using the map app before. I noticed that the gps icon wasnt there. I rebooted and then it worked. I am also running updated att radio and that was the best for it

Can someone please upload working circle battery percentage link for 5.1.7. Keep getting installation failed. Thanks in advance....even basic percentage mod would be great. Again, thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wjsturgis3:
Mike,

I'm probably going to flash 5.1.7. I'm also thinking of going back to the latest AT&T radio which needs a different RIL. The RIL install zip files use the following method to mount /system: mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

Do I need to change this to : mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");

Or will the original work OK with the EXT4 partitions?

Thanks for your answer and a great ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Im.already on 5.1.7. And I agree as im still on newest att radio.. also would like link for circle battery mod.. was looking foward to it being in the quick settings mod again.. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] RayYung:
Mike has said before, the new ROM (5.1.4 onward) has already include the RIL for BOTH ATT radio (the org and the new). I am using it and the speed is never been better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Copy that. Missed that detail ha, this is a very snappy rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] kasandoro:
This is a *fantastic* ROM! Nice and fast, and my new favorite.

But...I'm having trouble with Amazon App store apps. They always require a re-install after a reboot due to DRM troubles ("An unknown error has occurred. Please re-install from the Amazon App Store.") I have had this problem with several ROM's, and I think it might have to do with the ad-blocking. I've already replaced the hosts file with a generic "localhost"-only version, but I still have the problem.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? It's doing the same thing for my other Inspire as well with this ROM.

EDIT: I figured it out. The zipalign on boot was causing the Amazon DRM to break for those respective apps. Removing the "97zipalign" file from /etc/init.d fixed the problem for me, even after several reboots. The question now is, how will this affect performance?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
My gps is not working either.

Did u do what it says in the FAQ? mine locks in a matter of seconds
[HTC Inspire 4G] sm753:
So, question time. I was having some problems with Bluetooth and weird problems with rebooting with ARHD 5.1.6. So I wanted a clean install for ARHD 5.1.7.

I followed the instructions in the first post as closely as possible but also did a full wipe.

I did a full wipe, flashed the ext4 format zip, then flashed the ROM. Everything works great but my question is, how can I tell if the data filesystem is formatted as ext4?

Anyone get the CRT animation working? It was working fine with 5.1.4 but I haven't been able to get it to work since.

Is there any way possible to get a port for photo grid in this ROM? I know that it's a Sense 3 widget, but I really like this widget....:o
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rob116:
Extremely snappy, very pleased with this update. Working on a battery drain issue right now, hoping it's not the ROM that's the problem (only developed after flashing 5.1.7), but I have to say, this is a very impressive update. Thanks Mike.

[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
I just did and ran into issues. I turn off fast boot i loose my wifi. I installed gps status, it will not lock. I turned gps on, it says its on, i'm not even getting the icon for gps. Worked fine with 5.1.6
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
+1 to GPS issues.

No GPS lock.

Don't see the GPS icon in status bar.

When I use maps with network location turned off and GPS on, it doesn't even show my location.

I am 5.1.7 now. Never tried this when on 5.1.6.
[HTC Inspire 4G] boufa:
My internet speeds are now terrible. I am hoping it is something I did wrong. I am getting...

1534 down (which is good for me)

360 up (which should be at or near 3000)

I doubt it is location based, it was working fine before flashing this rom. I also flashed the radio listed on the first post.

edit: o.k. never mind, speeds seem to be all over the place, and more now than usual. Might be at&t's fault. I did get one test to spike in the 2500's up speed, but the rest seem stuck in the 300 range.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Hmmm thats what mine was doing and all i did was reinstall locations.reboot.set the fasterfix app to my area.reboot. and then went into maps and it found me. I also then got gps lock within seconds and my icon came back... I disnt have fastboot off till today and it worked either way. Dont know if this helps but its all i got. Good luck

Strange issue with calendar.

I can open the app, and view events in list mode and do all kinds of stuff. BUT, when I click on a date to open events on that day, it crashes.

Is anyone else too facing these.

Not a burning issue though cos I cud create an event using the "+" button, and list events in list mode.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
It is location and time based too, depending on number of phones with active data connected to a cell tower.

At my work desk, I am getting ~2000 down and ~1000 up. But, for some strange reason, I was getting <100 down for some time. Now its back to 1500-2000.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:

Help Please!

Getting a log in error from amazon app store. Can't retrieve my apps. think it has something to do with new 5.1.7 because when I log in with internet browser, it works just fine, but won't let me retrieve apps. Can anyone please help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kasandoro:
I had no trouble logging in and getting my apps using the Amazon App store app, but I did have trouble using apps due to zip-alignment on boot. What is the error telling you? Invalid login, or something else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I did these (took these from Q&A in first post), and I got my GPS icon back. Maybe u cud too try the same.

1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.

2. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.

3. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Iamjustian:
I flashed 5.1.7 with the S3.0 Weather and the S3.0 lock screen. I have my wallpaper to display the weather and I have the lockscreen set to "weather." I have the weather setting "play sounds" unchecked and the lock screen sounds disabled but everytime I unlock the phone it plays a weather sound. I remember reading a conversation going back and forth with Mike and some other guy about this and he was asking Mike to make a weather set with no sounds. I have searched for nearly two hours now to find that conversation to see if it was resolved and I can't find anything. I don't know if I was reading it in this thread or the Desire HD thread.

Does anybody know if there has been a fix for the weather sound playing when unlocking the screen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Damn. I dunno man i tried it all before, and this is the only thing that works. R u on the new radio?

Question about Radio and MD5 Checksum

Hey guys i have flashed 2.1 - 2.2 on my device lol. but then i ran into some issues and my phone crashed and stopped turning on completely.. nothing worked no orange LED light with charger. Shipped it into HTC and BTW they didn't charge me for repair. should have the phone back on tuesday. My questions are. 1st how do you perform a MD5 checksum? (im going to double check everything this time so i dont mess my phone up again) and 2nd. Does the stock radio work well with 5.1? or does the radio he have work better. i have had no troubles with stock and i have herd the radio he's got is experimental. THANKS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Depends on ur cell tower, more than rom. Mine was altering between 3g and H while at work. Now at home its been on H.

GPS fixes

No offense, but please do read the OP/instructions that follow.

I did the below things (took from Q&A in first post), and I got my GPS icon back. Maybe u cud too try the same.

1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.

2. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.

3. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gustavargas:
No problem,

It was the first thing I did.

I don't know why doesn't work, I turn on the GPS and enter to Navigation, Ndrive or Google maps fine, but the GPS Icon doesn't show and I never got a lock from the GPS, The "GPS Status" does not show any satellites either.

Thanks for your quick reply
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
It was the same for me too. I didn't get even the GPS indicator in status bar. But after I did the steps I listed above, it locked. First lock took ~30 seconds. But from thereon it takes like 15-20 seconds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
It has to be the rom I stay on 3g no matter where I go. Before I was always on H and barely on 3g.doesn't make any since. And I do notice a slower load up for like picture and stuff. It cant be the cell tower. If I switch to another rom ill have my H but I want tthis rom is there something I can do to fix this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kezell:
GPS is working fine for me. Still running through all the paces but the GPS passed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dynezxice:
I was able to get a GPS lock in ~24 seconds, with Fastboot already turned off and nothing else installed to get a quicker gps lock.

Works fine for me. I am able to get H most of the time, depending on where I am.
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
I can't seem to replicate your issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] spastico:
I never had any Gps issues from day one, custom rom or stock.

I've always been amazed how quickly this Inspire locks on to Gps.

But with 5.1.7 I noticed it takes a lot longer to lock.

I did some of the suggestions in the FAQs, and things are better now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
You can try to modify your build.prop hsdpa and hsupa values.
[HTC Inspire 4G] danielbmarshall:
For people continuing to have gps problems:

Disable fastboot.

Uninstall/reinstall gmaps.

Reinstall locations.

Install fasterfix from faq and reboot.

Ta-da!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
I did that and it worked. I tried my gps again about 6hrs later and it stopped working again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
For those of you having echoing problems, try changing these build.prop settings:

media.a1026.enableA1026=1

htc.audio.hac.enable=1

These settings enable/disable the dual-mic noise cancellation feature. If yours are set to 0 try changing them to 1, or vice versa. If these lines are missing, try adding them. Standard warnings apply (make a nandroid first and backup your existing build.prop).
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
They are added already in 5.1.7 :D

I have had a few times now that my phone get stuck on the lockscreen, but the screen is black. My menu button and that all lights up but it is just black i have to pull my battery for it to work again. It usually happens when recieving a text and it doesnt allways happen. I have kingdom,sms and weather along with quick settings, all flashed in order and with reboot between each.

Also get an error: Android com.phone. not responding... And asks to tell htc or wait... This has happened since 5.1.6 thoigh where new issues only now 5.1.7. Not to big of deal just leaving feedback. Thanks again mike and others

Doin' work from my Inspire beast!
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Mike, one issue in 5.1.7 (not sure if it was in earlier builds or not):

Occasionally (more like 5 out of 10 times), when I turn off my wifi it gives me a "Phone stopped responding - force close, or wait" options.

If I select "force close", it restarts my network.

When I select "wait", it seems to rectify itself.

Not sure if anyone is facing this issue or not. I turn on and off wifi quite frequently when home, and see this issue every other time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
I've had that problem a couple of times with the lock screen getting frozen with a blank screen and four buttons lit up, however I didn't have to pull the battery, just leaving the phone alone for 30 seconds fixed it for me. I know I had it with 5.1.6 and I think I had it with 5.1.4, don't think I've had it since I flashed 5.1.7 (only did that yesterday morning though). No mods flashed here except for Krzysiec's battery % mod.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
1. Try pressing power button, wait a second or two, and press it again. This might work.

2. When u get the phone not responding, click on "wait". It will auto correct itself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
^^^^thats pretty much what mine is doin but on its own ha

Doin' work from my Inspire beast!
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Yea i do hit thw wait and it works, i was just giving my feedback and at least im not the only one with that issue ha thanks for the help!cant hit thanks on xda app sorry lol

Doin' work from my Inspire beast!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
This is strange because no one in Desire HD reported such issue. Did you flash any theme? Did you full wiped? Give me more info :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
Any possibility someone might be able to mod the app drawer so it's not separated into pages anymore and it's just one long list like it was in the previous version of sense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
No theme or whatsoever Mike. Just the base 5.1.7. Nothing added to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I'm sure there will be such mod very soon! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] vdubman28:
Yea mike i am a stickler for the full wipe i do everytime since 5.1.x and i do not have any themes. Just the kindom,sms,weather and quick settings... I saw that too how nobody has issues in dhd... I dunno ha no biggy

Doin' work from my Inspire beast!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Strange. Keep informing me then :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Me too a stickler for full wipe.

So far, this thing keeps popping up only on turning wifi off, atleast for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I checked now few times and I disconencted without any problems. Really odd :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Not always. About 4-6 out of 10 times.

The below are the scenarios I use 90% of the time, and end up getting this error most of the times.

1. Turn on wifi, and then turn it off using an on/off widget.

2. Turn off wifi, and immediately click power button to put the phone to standby.

Its not immediate, but it comes up with it after a few minutes sometimes. And sometimes I see the error when wake up the phone out of sleep.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
Proper upgrade (without full wipe) from 5.1.4 to 5.1.7 would be wiping cache, wiping Dalvik then installing the zip, correct?
