Where is a Wiki for explaining all Android terms? - EVO 4G General

I see the Radio being mentioned often and wonder if that is something necessary to update.
I have rooted my phone, installed a clockwork recover (I think that is it) and installed the Calkulin ROM. Should I be installing a radio update? Can I do it after a ROM is installed via the install .zip from SD card?
Thanks.

Yes, you should always update your radio. It usually provides better service and other features like that.
Here is some info on flashing radios.

Thanks,
I think I'll wait for the new radio 2.05.00.06.10 to be approved by the powers that be.

Don't do anything yet. That's the golden rule for those of us with rooted phones.

Also, I would have benefitted from a wiki of definitions as well.

any luck finding a wiki for newbies. I am slowly figuring out bits a pieces. But I am still confused about the disconnect between the kernel and the ROM. And recovery managers and updaters. Like what does the Fresh updater do. Update the ROM? Pieces of the ROM?

[REQ] 2.3.3 Baseband in an update.zip

I think this would be a very useful file, because I know a lot of people are hesistant to update to 2.3.3 because of the removal of Facebook sync, but are still having issues with reception, reboots, etc. If the fixes are present in the baseband, it'd be great to be able to easily and safely update only the baseband, while staying on 2.3.2/CM7/custom ROM.
I'm not exactly sure of the feasibility on the Nexus S, but I know it was done before on the Droid when I owned that device.
According to Netarchy, the baseband update in the OTA is "patch-based", so it's not the full radio image, but rather changes to the existing one. So the full updated image would have to be created by applying these patches to the existing baseband. I'm not sure if that's possible to do off of the device, or if it needs to be extracted off a 2.3.3 device.
Anyways, I'm just putting in this request/suggestion. Please let me know what you guys think. Maybe if there's enough demand for it, a dev would undertake this
I like this idea.

It's risky, because it's not tested yet. I think it would work, but I have little experience with Android development.
The ROM is (I think) divided into several sections, like recovery, system, boot, and radio, so flashing just the radio should not mess up anything else.
I didn't end up trying that update file posted above, as I found another method to get the 2.3.3 baseband. I've written up a little guide here:

It does require fastboot, but will surely work.

Please help -- how to flash this new stock gingerbread rom to a rooted g2
I have a rooted G2 running CM7, but the gps is totally dead. I'm too much of a noob to flash a new radio, which I think would do the trick. Flashing this stock gingerbread rom seems like the perfect solution because it includes an updated radio and i am just sure it will fix the gps problem.
I bought the phone rooted and I know how to flash new rooted roms through clockwork (so easy), but I have absolutely no idea how to flash a rom like this that updates everything.
I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but can someone just point me to a step-by-step instructions about how to flash this particular stock gingerbread rom to a g2 that is rooted and has clockwork installed?
Thanks~! This is my first post.

Flashing a radio is easy. Just follow the steps in the radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
I know the second method (fastboot and radio.img files) is supposed to be safer. But that looks like it might be over your head, and you need the Eng Hboot to do it.
Flashing a ROM is easy, too. Just move the file to your SD card, and flash from ROM Manager. You will see an option "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to the file, and the rest is the same as if you downloaded the ROM using ROM Manager.
Thanks, but a few more questions . . .

Thanks for the reply! I think you are underestimating how new I am to this, though. My question is really this: does it matter, when flashing the new gingerbread rom for g2 that just came out, that the rom is not just a rom, but also a radio and everything else? it is titled in the "PC10IMG" form, which seems to me, from reading other threads, to be a special thing.

also, would you recommend that i wipe stuff before flashing? when the person who flashed my phone with me last time did it, he wiped dalvik cache and two others (can't remember which, or where he found them in recovery), and user data as well. but if you go to do it within clockwork, it doesn't ask you to do that, does it? again, i'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere.

well, it's a bit complicate.
supposedly the rom will return your phone to a totally stock state, which will give you the new radio etc, but you will not have root - this was already confirmed. One other forum member mentioned that he flashed the rom and did not loose S-OFF, which is a controversy...
update: lol, dude having CM on your phone means you already have clockwork installed. you just need the /system part of the leak and it's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074852
Really all he needs to do is run vision efs wipe. This been gone over a million times. CM + gps broke = needing efs wipe. No need to get into radios and all that just yet.

you can solve your gps issues by following two basics:
1. match libs in /system/libs with your radio version,
2. wipe two partitions like it is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405
You don't need the new rom, though - it still has the 2 muted seconds when receiving an incoming call - for me that is the no go.

I thought you were talking about the version of the leak that is mentioned in the last post (#10) and also mentioned above in post #4, which is pre-rooted. Thats the one you want. Flash from ROM Manager.
If you are talking about flashing this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074391
This is the official ROM, and as stated in the previous post, you will lose root. So you probably want to avoid this.
PC10IMG.ZIP files are flashable from Hboot (CWM not required). But since you have Clockwork, I believe you can flash any ROM or patch, as long as its a ZIP file. Its safer to flash from CWM anyway, so avoid Hboot for flashing ROMs.
Not positive, but I think you can keep your data since you are going between similar ROMs (Gingerbread, non-Sense). Wiping dalvik and cache are advisable. Not doing so when switching ROMs can lead to random bugs, and there is no real reason to not wipe them. You can wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. If you want to wipe data, you can also do that in recovery, under "advanced". But you will lose all your user data.
If you flash from ROM Manager, it will ask if you want to wipe. But I've never been clear on what all exactly is wiped (dalvik, cache, data). It might be all 3 of those.
Sorry, I've just stated a bunch of things I'm not completely sure about. So hopefully somebody else can confirm these.
The good news is, do a backup of your current ROM in ROM Manager before you flash anything, and if you screw up anything, you can just go into recovery and load your backup.
please help -- do not want to brick

I actually would prefer this to flashing a version of this rom that someone else has extracted/altered, however little. My fear is two things:
1 -- Will it brick my phone to flash a PCIMG file? (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484)
2 -- what do I have to do differently to flash a PCIMG file other than what I normally would do in clockwork to flash another rom (for example a CM rom)

I have tried that, to no avail. I see others who have tried that and failed, and things seem to get tricky after that. I agree, I would rather avoid the nitty gritty stuff.
So I am devastated to see that there is no lock animation =(. That was something I was really looking forward to, despite the insignificance.

My opinion, you're better off flashing the rooted ROM. If you flash the official PC10IMG.ZIP, you will lose root, and not be able to get it back without downgrading (negating the purpose of flashing the official ROM in the first place).
Are you worried about malicious, or accidentally harmful modifications to the ROM (in the rooted version of the leak)? I don't worry much about ROMs for reputable developers. But admittedly, I don't know anything about that user that posted the rooted version of the leak.
In response to your questions:
1) As the thread you posted indicates, its safer not to flash those files unless you know exactly what you are doing.
2) I think you can flash from Clockwork. But as I said, if you aren't sure what you are doing, its not a good idea. You will lose root, and I think some people have also gotten S-On by flashing the official ROMs also. I which case, you may be pretty screwed (as far as getting root), since you can't flash other ROMs with S-On.
Alright so I've reading through all sorts of different forums and feel lost and exactly what to do. I downloaded the official 2.3 update ROM for the G2 that Football had released off of a mirrored site from my phone's browser then renamed it PC10IMG and moved to the root of the SD card. I then did the whole volume down + power button to load the zip but for some reason it says:

Stock gingerbread or rooted gingerbread?

Well, I'm kind of at a crossroads here. I'm running an unrooted 2.2, but since I deleted a few bloats I'm unable to go to Gingerbread over the air. On one hand I can re-add the apks back to my phone and go to the official 2.3.4 or I can root and use a 2.3.4 rom. My question is, which is the easiest to do and are there any drawbacks of having the rooted version of gingerbread? Meaning, does the OTA version have any additional features that I'll lose with the rooted one (updated radio, etc?). Thanks for the time and help everyone on here puts!
Most people here will lean towards telling you to root. There's no downside to rooting, only upsides. You can ALWAYS unroot and return to stock if you need to return the phone for warranty replacement.
I'd say just root. You can install a perfectly stock pre-rooted OTA build if you like the stock look-and-feel (its perfectly stock, just rooted), but at the same time you can always install other ROMs to try out as well.
And either way you get all the bonuses of root, such as ad-blockers, backup apps, etc..
As far as radios, you can flash any radio you'd like. I'd recommend just flashing the recommended T-mous 2.3 OTA radio, which is 26.08.04.30 I believe.
I personally installed this stock pre-rooted ROM and it works perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143

Yes, you really need to wipe data/factory reset before flashing this ROM. You can use an app like 'Titanium Backup' to back up all of your apps+data to your SD card, then restore them to the new ROM. DO NOT backup/restore system data though.
Also, its always a great idea to do a nandroid (ROM manager) backup of your current ROM before wiping/flashing the new one

Its not required, but its usually recommended to flash the radio intended for the ROM you're using. You can find a list of radios and the ROMs they're associated with in the dev section. I recommend installing them via the PC10IMG.zip in the bootloader.

2 weeks ago I had to send my phone in under warranty. They told me to back up my data as HTC would restore (Thank God I didnt listen to them). Anyways, I received my phone yesterday with a replaced main board. My phone wasn't previously rooted and I had already did the OTA etc so couldn't root. I notice they updated me to 2.3.3 stock. Before I do anything this time around I would like to root my phone before putting data back. Is it as simple as following these steps? Im on Bells network. Also where is it I find the radio version??

Yours will be a bit different. Since you're already on 2.3, you'll have to downgrade in order to root. There are some guides being created currently that you can follow. its been discussed in a few threads lately.

[Q] What would happen if I Zune updated while using a custom ROM?

Title says it... pretty much just want to go Official without losing my apps and app data if possible. I'm using Ansers custom TANGO ROM atm. Just wondering if something bad could happen if I just plugged into ZUNE and updated.
Thanks in advanced.
Using Verizon TROPHY/Spark_W
Found the answer, you CAN NOT update this way, even if you remove hspl. So had to downgrade after removing hspl.
Sent from my mwp6985 using Board Express
Well, there are ways to update with HSPL installed using Zune.. but you need a rom that is closer to the OEM stock rom. If you had a 7720 rom, like DFT, you could attempt to update. The drivers and sys would update, but Internet Sharing would disappear, because the WIRELESS driver won't have the policies for Internet Sharing anymore... You might also loose parts of fullunlock of those files are overwrote by other files.
Having HSPL installed has nothing to do with the update failing. If an SPL update is pushed in a driver (and with the Verizon HTC drivers, it ALWAYS is), HSPL will prevent the OSPL from being flashed {if it did flash, you wouldn't like it.. trust me.. I made mine do it once using bad methods... not fun). It's as simple as the system build mismatch from my experience.
I really need to get my rom out the door soonish.

Are you asking how to simply update bootloader and radio, since you are already running 10.1 rom that would be all you have to update. There are toolkits, threads, img files and zips alllll over xda.
May I advise using google and a simple search would give you all you need. Also simply follow a few threads and read whats going on and you can find your answers as well.
But before you update your radio and bootloader ask yourself do I need to do this for 10.2 to work properly?

No you don't. Bootloaders & Radios are independent of the ROM. You can update it, leave it, do whatever you want. It won't affect anything.
Only exception is if you're using a old radio such as .33 and .27 for LTE and you flash 4.3. There'll be problems but now theres a Hybrid radio so that'll fix your problems.

No you don't. Bootloaders & Radios are independent of the ROM. You can update it, leave it, do whatever you want. It won't affect anything.

Is there any benefit from updating to an newer radio Version?
Like extentet Battery life?

Are you asking how to simply update bootloader and radio, since you are already running 10.1 rom that would be all you have to update. There are toolkits, threads, img files and zips alllll over xda.
May I advise using google and a simple search would give you all you need. Also simply follow a few threads and read whats going on and you can find your answers as well.
But before you update your radio and bootloader ask yourself do I need to do this for 10.2 to work properly?

Nooo, sorry about that. I mean that for CM10.2, would we need to update the bootloader, radio or something else for it to work properly? Like with my previous phone, the HTC Sensation, we would need to flash an HBOOT, Radios, and Bootloader that was compatable with ICS roms, or a newer version of the HBOOT, Radios, and Bootloader comparable with Jelly Bean roms. I do understand that they are two different phones, but I'm asking what would be required for me to flash before I install CM10.2 for it to work.

As of right now none of that is needed to run 4.3. There were issues with LTE radios but a hybrid has been put together so thats solved. There are many success stories and people only flashing rom and not having any issues. So as of today my answer would be all you need to do is upgrade your rom. Everything else is your preference
