Hey guys, noob-ish question here, but, how in the blazes do i tell which rom i currently have installed?? i've flashed through a half dozen roms and i can't remember which one i'm back to! i THINK it's OMJ's but i'm not sure.
anways, thanks for the help
Settings>About Phone> Software Information
done. nothing in there says whether i'm running OMJ or Fresh or one of the other variants
If for some reason you don't show it there just flash new and remember what your working with. After the new flash go check your settings again.

In most of the ROM's I have used, the Settings/About Phone/Software Info would list the current ROM. When you get to phone info, what does it say under Build Number? On my phone, that is where it currently says Damage control 3.2.2.1
mine says
Build number
1.32.651.6 CL171253 release-keys
awww damnit..... under
Software number
1.32.651.6 OMJ
sorry guys, i suck
lol... At least you found it.
Lol, this all just made me laugh so hard for some reason. Ahhh. Thank you.

Hello i got refered over to this site from androidforums.com
First of all i see alot of great info on here but im still a noob to this whole root process. Im not very familiar with terms and would like for someone to help me understand different roms and what is best. Im still running the stock 1.5 firmware. My baseband version is 1.04.01.09.21 software version 1.56.651.2
So ive read there is easy way to root your phone with a program you can download on your phone. can someone help me out with this. TIA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CDMA.png#Rooting_.2F_Un-rooting_.2F_Flashing - has all links you might need to root and flash a ROM.
As you are on Sense and a older radio, I'll suggest you to upgrade to later version of sense - something 2.1 and then root it, so you don't have to worry about flashing a radio, later. But, that's your call.
Whatever you do, read all the information properly... so you don't have issues.

I bought a epic 4g from a friend of mine who works on phones and roots and all this when he likes. I am a person who takes a while to be okay with this. This phone is already rooted and has a costume ROM on it. and I have a few question about this and how this all works. I also bought this phone because its on Boost Mobile.
My Epic right now:
Model #:
SPH-D700
Firmware Version:
noobnl_Andromeda_Galaxy_ROM_v1.1.1a
Basebank Version:
D: D700.0.5S.DI18

Kernel version:

Build #:
SPH-D700 noobnl Andromeda Galaxy Kernel version 1.4.0
Hardware version:
D700.0.5
Lately I have been getting a "Android Update MR4 EC05 system update".
Is it okay for me to do this update?
Will it affect my service?
Where can I find info about this ROM?
I am noob, I have no knowledge about this and thats why I am coming here to learn.
Could someone point me in the right direction to learn about rooting, NAND Protection (I have a EVO 4G and im looking to unlock it), Just general information about all this.
U rgetting a mesage to upgrade to froyo ec05? If yes do not do it yet. Just wait for noobl to upgrade his rom to this version of froyo and falsh it then. If you try to upgrade now you will most likely not be able to since some system and pre installed apps might have been removed from your rom and without them u r not able to upgrade. Look in the development section of this rom for updates. And feel free post your questions here or u can even pm me. I will try to help as much as I can althught I'm not very fimilar with this specefic rom.

Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...
Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.
And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.
I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.
Thanks
It's on the first page of the Dev section. Don't know how you missed it.

No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.
EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.
Unlocked MyTouch 4G actually.
Main reason I'm sticking with stock is that I actually like the genius button feature and swype keyboard.

Thats not the official version that is being sent out OTA and via sdcard (at some retail locations) the official one:

Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M
has yet to be uploaded, correct me if I am wrong. But telling people that is the official version being released by tmo is incorrect.

Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....
1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.
2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.
If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html
So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?
Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?
Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.
You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.

LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....
This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.
Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.
When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.
I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.

lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.
I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.
As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....
So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

That's exactly how I did it; GPS is working fine now. Radio flash was very easy. S=off (without true radio s=off) is all you need. If you can figure out how to get radio s=off using this rom, lmk...

First link is football's leak, it is not rooted. I think you meant another thread.
2nd thread are just radios, they do not contains any roms. they're just radios stripped from those leaks and ruus.

Maybe I goofed on the first link - I'll correct it later, it's too hard to do on my phone.. Fat fingers...
As for the radios, I know. I don't want to flash the ROM again, just the radio to hopefully remedy my lack of GPS. Just wanted to make sure that that particular radio was compatible with the rooted stock Gingerbread ROM I flashed.

First off to be fair I did not install that file but i did download it, the file size is the same as football's file that he posted and the android-info.txt is the same. Has anybody installed it, if so can you confirm if its the same as football's?
I have been emailing this guy and he said its copied from the store SD card. I installed it...the build number says release keys...does that make a difference? He says the hboot on this is different
Really??
If it is the same, then why is the official update that I have, have a 2mb difference? I copied the update DIRECTLY FROM THE T-MOBILE SD CARD, along with the G2 update and the mytouch3g slide. I understand that because I am NEW TO REGISTER AND ACTUALLY POST, people could be leary. But let's face it, you are all looking a gift horse in the mouth. I posted it and uploaded it for all of you, just for you to tell me that it's not legit or it's not the same. I put football's into my mytouch 4g previously and quickly removed it because I started getting FC.
If you don't want to use it, that's fine. I can always remove the update from megaupload and be a stingy jerk. But I'm not like that. Extract the images from both updates and you will see the proof.

No need to be offended. You have to understand that if you are not a known reputable member that someone who is should check it and give the okay on it. One point to note is that when Football released his leak, people immediately jumped in and started flashing that file before they even knew what it was. And some ended up losing root with no way at that time to restore it.
We do appreciate the share though.

I'm sorry if think i'm being a jerk but i'm not just stating the similarities between the files that is all. They are both 315mb, thats why I asked if anybody installed it to see if it was the same.
no problems
Its all good. And I do understand. Just got heated for a second there. But in all honesty, I don't know why footballs hboot is different from the official. But all i know is that mine is 100% official. I did get it directly from the T-Mobile sim card.
so I guess the moral is, if you want it, its there

So if I have footballs on my phone right now and want this one, since it is actually the official, how could I do that? Do I just apply the update the same way while on footballs? And do you guys even think I should update it to this one, since its practically the same as footballs? (Sorry. I'm kind of new to this stuff)

The PD15 images are for bootloader, you put it on the sdcard, and the bootloader will detect the file, if on the sdcard.
I need help flashing my phone to the original settings. When the atrix came out I rooted my phone and modified the settings to allow for tethering without a plan. Now I would like to upgrade the operating system so I can enjoy some new features. There are so many things that have come out since I dont know what guide I should follow to do this.
