long time hacker first time android

Bought my first android yesterday and have been loving it. I used Buddy's "One Click Root" and everything went great. Phone is rooted and everything is perfect. However, I have spent the past oh.... 12 hours trying to get Android Revolution installed and I just can't do it :(

My problem is getting into clockworkmod recovery. I installed Rom Manager and have flashed every single version of the recovery ROMs with no success. Upon boot I receive the "HTC" logo that begins to fade eventually leaving me with a black screen. The only way I can get around it is by taking the battery out. This forces me back into HBOOT where I have to update PD98IMG all over again to get back to the original rooted ROM.

I have S-OFF and have no problems with any rooting process. Any help would be much appreciated. I'd like someone to help me pop my Android cherry quite honestly ;)

I haven't ran setcpu yet and it's OC at 1.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] beerbaronstatic:
I believe it runs at roughly 1022 out of the box, it CAN oc to 1.2, but you need setcpu
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
That is what I thought, because op said it will be at default 1ghz. I know quadrant scores don't mean a whole lot, but is that a high number to see running at 1ghz? I ran one earlier with .16 on the third try and got 2015.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
So californiarailroadrider posted a thread about getting CWM to work. Essentially you have to get ENG S-off. Refer to coredroids thread to get that. I don't know how to post thread links otherwise I would have. I apologize. Get Eng soff and flash whatever you want. CWM works great. Read up on it though because there are risks

pointed out in California s thread. Hope this helps.

Easy soff is the tool...its different than radio soff and super easy..literally on click and 10 seconds of waiting. Have fun.
[HTC Inspire 4G] n0kia916:
Hmm quadrant info says current freq 1036, max freq 1228, min freq is 245, my quad benches are around 2200.. regular 1gz I roughly get around 1800 or so..

linpack score is higher also, regular was around 36 mflops, now it's 39.

I don't care about slight OC but I didn't have setcpu app yet
[HTC Inspire 4G] djowett:
For those who can't go over 1024 mhz, I just followed the instructions on page one and nothing else. Just install the rom and restart.

Looking great, the 2.1 is smooth as silk on my Inspire.

If any issues Ill be sure to return.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
If your sound is bad flash the audio fix in the op. You need to flash through cwm though. If you want to check if u have s-off just boot up into fastboot and it should tell you in the top line. If you rooted with the hack kit you should have s-off and a working cwm. I don't know about the one-click though I did it the hard way ;) although it really wasn't that hard.

I flashed the new 2.1 patch earlier this morning and notice my auto-rotate still has problems rotating after a while. Not sure if its just me, but it stops rotating after a while. It works right after a reboot then stops later on. I read it was an issue on 2.15 and .16

You will have to re-flash the ROM without need to wipe.

EDIT: Never mind; thought I bricked my phone but it seems all is good still xD

I'm trying to follow the instructions to change the radio. But it says I need ENG S-Off and that I should use the tool provided in the links. But the tool won't work because of the framework being and 1.72 or something like this (sorry, still new at this). I ended up pressing it without thinking, almost causing me to think that I bricked it.

Anyway, is there a way to flash the radio without having to downgrade?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If you can get into the bootloader your not bricked.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
What do you mean?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Are you using the attached tool? Make sure you put a check in the box for "I'm already S-Off" then click S-Off it. This should give you ENG S-Off and you should be able to flash your radio using fastboot.

My ads don't get blocked in Words with Friends. Let me look a few other places

Just flashed 2.1 today and all I did was wipe cache on the way up. I did flash your audio fix file and sound was back to distortion so I just flashed the other file and all is well again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hanilanzi:
no problem, will do,

i also noticed when i did a clean 2.1 full and then no-sense on top of it, BT works just fine.

i will try it with only 2.1 with sense right now.

BT issue

Mike,

ok, i tried with only 2.1 full, clean install with audio fix... BT is a NO go.

so far i have tested 2.1 with Desolution theme (BT works), Kalagas Mixed theme ARHD v1.8 signed (BT works) and 2.1 with no-sense (BT Works).

Only 2.1 full - BT answer/end button does NOT work. Strange.

OK, so last night I reinstalled Android Revolution 2.1. This AM, on a clear sunny day, it took almost 10 minutes to get a GPS location fix, although I had nine satellites right away. I just now tried again in my office and got a position fix in maybe 45 seconds. I will try again tonight on my drive home.

Just to make sure I am following the steps correctly, here is what I did last night:

Wiped everything (data, cache, Dalvik, battery)

Flashed Android Revolution 2.1 with CWM

Flashed 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 radio from Bootloader (using the Hack Kit radio file PD98IMG.zip, which contains the exact same radio.img file)

Flashed TurboniumX Inspire Audio Fix

Checked to make sure gps.conf is correct as above.

It is curious that my Inspire gave me a "Fail" write error when I tried to flash the 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 radio using ADB, but it did seem to complete when I used the PD98IMG file.

Just out of curiosity, am I doing everything correctly?

Thanks for all your efforts and assistance. The ROM does rock - increased my quadrant by 33% from my prior ROM!

HSUPA

I am on the Revolution ROM. I'm getting 1.7gb down and 900kps up. Do you think I have HSUPA activated? My radio says "H" next to the number of bars. I'm in a city of about 200k in the midwest, so not downtown metro or rural.
[HTC Inspire 4G] directorfer:
Radios

The stock radio that came with the Hack Kit, I believe this is the 19U (12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M) radio; does any one know if the Cingular US radio is the 19P version? Here is the link with all the Desire HD radios.

Is there way to flash a new radio without connecting the phone to a PC like in the [GUIDE] How to flash a radio.IMG Tried and tested?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
My understanding - The recommended radio is different from the radio in the Hack Kit (unless the hack kit has been updated from when I did it, the last step is flashing back to the stock radio, the radio listed at the beginning of this thread is not the stock radio). If it's failing writing the radio using fastboot, you probably need ENG S-Off. There's an Easy S-Off tool floating around that will do this for you. Other than that, you're doing the process properly.

These are HSUPA speeds. If you were seeing less than 400K upload I would say differently. But this indicates that your HSDUP (HSUPA) is active
[HTC Inspire 4G] directorfer:
Here is some food for though; http://pocketnow.com/android/is-att-misleading-about-hspa-on-the-inspire-4g-video
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
I compared the radio.img file in the 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 radio to the radio.img file in the PD98IMG.ZIP from the Hack Kit. So far as date and bytes go, they are the same file.

In Bootloader, it says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF. Is this different than ENG S-OFF?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yes exactly. You're not yet getting HSPA+, but these are HSDPA speeds (3.5G)
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I noticed they were the same size too...but flash one of them then go to your software info in settings, it will show you the radio has changed

And yes it's different, ENG S-Off will say just that at bootloader
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
OK, I will try this tonight.

If I cannot update the radio via ADB, would it work to take the radio.img from the 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 radio, put it into PD98IMG.zip (replacing the original one), and flash the updated PD98IMG.zip in Bootloader?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Mike,

Is there any way you can make this ROM disable vibrate when you slide to unlock. There is no setting that disables this. My phone locks all the time and so I have to unlock alot. This probably causes unnecessary battery drain and it's just plain annoying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
My phone doesn't vibrate on unlock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Mines doesn't either
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Usually failing to write the radio using fastboot is due to not having ENG S-Off (which can be obtained using the Easy S-Off tool that's floating around). I would think that replacing the radio in PD98IMG.zip would work too, but I've never done this.

Mine doesn't vibrate on unlock either
[HTC Inspire 4G] hanilanzi:
mine does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Are you using the sense or no-sense ROM? I have found the sense ROM does not vibrate on unlock but the no-sense ROM does. I wonder if flashing the sense lockscreen will disable vibrate on unlock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Sense.

Now that I think about it, every other android phone i've used has vibrated on unlock. CM7 vibrates on unlock with the Inspire too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Yeah, it was so annoying I went back to RevHD after trying CM7. Now I'm stuck with it again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Do you have a backup of Revolution when it didn't vibrate? Then do a full wipe and restore your backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blodg1:
What is the max upload speed?

Has anyone found a link to the 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M radio? Does it really exist? I have seen the question asked many times without any answer. I have the 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M but would like to try the 19P.

I have tested my phone everywhere in Orange County, CA. I have yet to break 1400 kbps upload yet my wifes iPhone 4 regularly hits 2000+ kbps. My Inspire seems to bounce a lot around the 1300-1400 kbps range leading me to believe that it is being throttled by the software. Could the 19P be the answer?
[HTC Inspire 4G] directorfer:
This could be the "Vibrate Feedback" within the sound settings. It vibrates the phone when onscreen buttons are pressed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
I just flashed the HTC lockscreen in the 2nd post and no more vibrate on unlock. Too bad it's the normal HTC lockscreen. I guess I'll have to live with that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I like the slide down or up compared to the slide left or right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Yeah, me too. Pulling down to unlock is more convenient than sliding left to right. I frequently have to slide it a few times to unlock with left to right. Now if Mike could also convert the other lockscreen themes to flash, I'd be in business. I don't understand why all the other ROMs have it vibrate. That makes no sense.

speaker boost causes distortion?

I'm still testing this but this is what i've observed so far. I get distortion when listening to podcasts (doggcatcher) in my car. I have the audio fix in this thread as well as 2.1 phone volume is on max. the distortion is random and it's not the files themselves-- i've tested for this already.

I did not observe this listening to pandora. I'm not sure if this is related to "streaming" vs "playing an mp3".

At first i thought this had to do with the audio fix but then i tested lowering the volume on my phone (not my car stereo) and the distortion has not shown up (so far). I will report back later.

my question to Mike is how exactly is the 20% boost applied? all outgoing audio is boosted? or is it specific to the speaker and not the auxillary out?

Is this normal? I don't mind re-checking it myself but just wondering if its a normal thing.

I have a question about APN though. Is it normal when I create a new APN there is no option to select & use it? I only see MediaNet as the one with the green circle. I was able to select which APN to use in the original stock ROM. Forgive my n00bness as I'm still learning Android.
