Excuse the noob question and sheer stupidity of not being able to find what is probably readily(most definitely.) available information but how do I flash the radio through hboot? Rename it and hit what? And how will I be positive I have the correct RIL(whatever that is) I know to get into hboot via power on while holding volume down.

Sorry. Got this phone 24 hours ago used to samsung. Went from stock(ace hack kit one keystroke)->coredroid->miui->virtuous unity(full whipe after each). Havent ttouched radios due to fear of mismatching something and unclear of what possible mismatch could cause perminate brick as I've seen reports of various mixing RILs and radios.

Ps. Confirmed links working now(:

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Not a problem at all, I am here to answer questions! :)

1. Download the radio file and place it on your MicroSD card in the phone.

2. Verify the MD5 checksum (as outlined above with the app from the market).

3. Rename the radio file that you download to:

PD98IMG.zip

4. Verify that Fastboot is turned off in your settings.

5. Boot into HBOOT with the volume down button while restarting.

6. The bootloader will search for the file, find it, then ask if you want to press a button to update the device (I think it is volume up?). If it doesn't search for the file, you might have to press the power button once first.

7. Let the radio update.

8. Follow on screen instructions to reboot. You now have the correct radio. :)

Radio/RIL relationship and what radio/RIL would positively bbreak my phone? Thanks for the help flashing as soon as dl is finished.

Sent from my Inspire running something I decided to flash today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Oops, left out the RIL. The RIL is the Radio Interface Layer, which is basically how the ROM reads the Radio that is installed.

The RIL is cooked into most Roms, ClearDroid has it baked in, no need to flash one. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] xijar:
So what radios should I worry about flashing if I decide to go with an unpreferred one(if any)?

Sent from my Inspire running something I decided to flash today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Don't flash anything not originally for an Inspire or Desire HD. :) Good rule of thumb lol.

Curious why you be so dead set against antivirus for android? Do you really believe it is not needed? Are you not aware that yes there are viruses for Linux based systems? Granted not as prevelant as for windows based systems they are out there and it is only prudent to protect oneself from such things.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
There are not many at all, and the apps cause issues on phones similar to task managers from my experience. Horrible battery, incredible slowdowns, force closes, etc. I'd rather people use common sense than use an app that's messing up their android experience.

And for what it's worth, my girlfriend had "Lookout", had numerous problems, and still got a virus. She often downloads music and things from shady sites though.

My faith in these apps is not high at all...

Edited that post for all the shady site-goers. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yes indeed, as long as it is for one of those 2 devices. Preferably the inspire. :)

EDIT: Also, I have a request for the few that are having problems sending SMS. Can you please temporarily downgrade to version 1.2.2 and see if your problem goes away? I am wondering if it was the hex editing that I did to the MMS.apk that may have caused an issue. Let me know if it helps?

EDIT 2: Version 1.2.5 is well underway. Creating build number 6 shortly. Stay tuned!
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Missed your edit until just now. Heading back to 1.2.2 Will let you know what happens. :)

Ok thanks. Also which kernels are compatible with this rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
I still have the mms problem. It seems that I can send with no loss of data connection, but if I receive an mms I lose data connection and have to restart the radio. This is with no Mods, no changes of any kind to the Rom. I wiped cache and Dalvik. Flashed 1.2.2 and the 1.2.11 mod pack. The dual APNs are still in place though.

Looking forward to 1.2.5!!! :)

Clear, fc of mms still exists. I tried all steps recommended, including flash the radio, flash the IMG file, and roll back to 1.2.2. Unfortunately, these steps did not work...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Glad to give you your first thanks, henry!!

Thank you for all your hard work and troubleshooting.

The issue is dumbfounding... I literally have absolutely no idea what is wrong with it. The only other thing I can think of doing is having someone run logcat during the force close and send me that part of the logcat report, but that's a long shot.

The truly awkward part is that it works for hundreds of other people, but not for a very small few, and it's the same exact program. Maybe a bad download? Did you guys try re-downloading 1.2.4?

In good news, 1.2.5 will be out shortly. And we are already prepping for 1.2.6! :) I rolled back the MMS.apk in 1.2.5 to before I made any hex edits on it, so it's the stock sense 3.0 one again.

Can anybody else run a quadrant test on their Inspire while on 1.2.4 Rom and post for me please

Farmall, did you change the APNs or are you still using the stock 2?

Also, did you also try reflashing the radio twice?

You might just have to bring yours over some time and I could look at it since you're about 5 miles away lol. Also, have you tried a full reset yet, then a reflash of the ROM?

In the meantime... try this! :)

ClearDroid 1.2.5 Build 7 Beta

Changes:

-Reverted MMS.apk to pre-edit condition

-Added EXT4 support to BDA-Ace Kernel (Thanks bdaman80!!!)

-Updated all apps

-Updated Superuser (still needs binary update, will request it)

-Updated alternative tethering app

MAKE SURE TO BACKUP FIRST.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:

One APN is yours. The other is added, but it is the main, so to speak.

Name: MediaNet (pick anything)

APN: Phone

I keep getting a Titanium Backup Force Close message after installing newest version.

I have never used Titanium Backup as far as I know. It pops up after every normal restart.

I installed Titanium Backup from the market, thinking it might overwrite it if it was corrupt, and it seems to have corrected the error, not getting the force close anymore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
Ext4 is the current standard in a lot of Linux OS's. It has advantages of error prevention and recovery and not needing any kind of "defrag", But it runs the risk of causing flash media failure over time. This is due to the constant write / re write of data of the journaling in the file system.

I use it on my Linux hdd installs, but not my Android systems. But that is my preference.

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Great. While speed isn't of the essence for me, I'll take it if it doesn't compromise battery life too greatly. My main issue, though, is reception. Have you guys ever had any success with cell phone antennas, or are they just placebos? My phone gets crap reception with my Tough Case on it. I have to have a protective case though. I drop my phone more than Zach Rogers drops passes (Vols joke).

Also, 1.2.5 is fine for me after reinstalling Titanium Backup. I kept getting force closes every restart. But reinstalling it from the market fixed the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Vol, try this. It worked for me when I wasn't getting any reception at Kings Island amusement park:

Open your dialer and type the following:

*#*#INFO#*#*

a secret menu will open up. Go to "Phone Information". Scroll to the bottom, then where it shows the preferred network type, change that from "WCDMA Preferred" to "GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL)". I get a lot more bars this way, usually. Especially if I'm not getting any on WCDMA. :)

That's great to hear but I still would like to know how to find kernels around hhere. On the captivate they were all on the dev forums. All I've seen is TalonAce and the ones on Android Revolution's post. I know tthere has to be a lot more.

But hey, that's why we have nandroid backups. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Looking forward to trying it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Well, first flash was good. We have a new Radio that hasn't been released yet, and I am getting excellent reception with it.

Second flash... uh...

Well, my phone booted blank. Like... the top bar is there, but nothing else. There is now no lockscreen. So, I'm pretty sure I know the culprit. Will remove, then test again. Luckily, there was a lot more to the second flash than that. :)

Update: Well, it appears we now have a new modpack update or two. ;) Also a new radio. ClearDroid 1.2.6 will be a major major release... I'm thinking of making it version 1.3.0 instead. It will include the RIL of the new radio as well. I will get it built as soon as I get home. :)

Oh, and by the way...

THANK YOU

for over 21,000 total downloads of ClearDroid!!! For this being my first project, the turnout is amazing! :) I never knew this many people wanted something like this as much as I did lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Go with 1.3.0, sounds like a lot of changes.

Stoked about the new radio/ril.

1.2.5 is running well, download speeds in the 3.5 Mbs range. Last couple of weeks have not gone well for speed tests, everything has been slow. Maybe AT$T problems in my test area?

GPS is fast. 100 seconds or so to lock after a few days off.

Quadrant scores look good, in the 1300-1400 range. No OC.

Still have the mms problem, even on 1.2.2. Have not flashed the stock rooted Rom yet, wanted to see if 1.2.5 would pull me out. A couple of weeks ago, I was playing with Lee's Sense 3.0 mod pack. It has mms in it. A month or so before, I was running Virtuous Unity. Way back - like early July, I had LeeDroid 3.3.0 in this thing. Not big on Rom hopping. ;) Have been running dual APNs all along. Usually turn WiFi and Background data off when I leave the house. Using cooked ril and 03 radio.

At one time, I was playing with build.prop settings and had found a sweet spot. On 1.2.5, I didn't change anything. That may be why my download speeds are not over 4 Mbs, but I wanted to make sure that the changes were not causing the mms hangup.

Have "data roaming" and "always-on mobile data" disabled.

Running out of things to mention. :)

For clarification (and because I have forgotten a little bit), is it force closing when opened? Or when you send an SMS? Or when you send an MMS?

I am currently stock/rooted and want to flash this but am having great signel etc with my stock radio, 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M.

Can I just flash this ROM and use that radio? Would I have to flash a RIL to match or can I leave it alone? The only difference appears to be the "P" vs. "U". Still kind of new to flashing on the inspire so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks.

Hiya, I believe the ace hack kit has a "return to stock" option. Jpeepers, you may use that radio, the RIL is already included in the Rom. :)

Fairly certain that I have not flashed anyone else's Rom since 1.2.12 so I am going back to stock rooted and flash 1.3.0 after that. Not going to be fun, not being able to put my apps back with TiBackup but this game is not for sissies. Let you know how it turns out.

OK, I'm back up and running. :) Can we not restore anything with TiBackup or just SMS/MMS type stuff?

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Thanks for the new version.

I followed your directions, and everything is working fine. Is it necessary to download SetCPU or whatever? I'm not a speed freak. Or...is it built in, and I'm just not seeing it?

Anyway, I got to the bottom of my texts being out of order. I did not have the option checked to "Use network time". I'm close to a central timezone tower, and it kept showing central time instead of eastern, so several months ago, I unchecked it. I haven't done a full wipe in a long time, so my preference for manual time kept getting transferred over to new rom versions. However, I checked it, and all seems to be well. It's still displaying eastern time so far and no more out of order texts.

Thanks again.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Very cool about the fix! And you don't NEED to use SetCPU, but it couldn't hurt, and if you download it from its thread here on XDA, it's free. I personally bought it from the market to show love to the dev, but either way, it's an amazing app. You can't take advantage of the battery saving capabilities without it though, really. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnye7t:
Message timestamps are still off for me.

I've always used the Network Time Setting.

I believe it's like you mentioned in an earlier thread that Android doesn't pay attention to the "seconds" variable in a timestamp.

If the reply message is timestamped a minute later then all is well.

But if not, then the reply occurs above the sent message.

Overall, 1.3.0 is solid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Ok. I'll buy it. How should

I set it up for good battery life?

Ok. I set scaling to smartassv2. I guess that's right. I set max to 1036. I can't get the slider thingy to stop at 1024, which sounds more "computery". I set minimum to the lowest at 245. Does that sound about right? Anything else I need to do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
You can set different profiles depending on what you want. Best battery saving I get it to set to minium speed possible when screen off. Also can downgrade speed when batter gets low.

Hope it helps. Cheers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
Yeah, 1024 isn't there. CPU freq can be set to what is defined in the kernel during compiling. 1024 is gone. Sorry. But there is a lot smaller steps between 245 and up now. I keep Mine at 1344 and smartass2. I suggest a battery stats wipe in cwm. Then a couple empty full charge cycles. Best battery performance EVER on my device.
