Hi guys
I am wanting to try out cyanogen custom ROM version 6 on an AT&T N1. I'm reading the below instructions and its a bit unclear to me what I am supposed to do re: the radio. Can someone assist?
- if I follow below instructions, do I end up flashing the radio?
- if so which radio firmware am I supposed to use?
- can I just do below and skip step 3, then I will end up with cyanogen w/ stock radio, and that will work fine? Note I am 850Mhz user.
Nexus one (AT&T version w/ 850Mhz 3G band) running stock FRF91. Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM to your Nexus (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager or Amon_RA's recovery image
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon
- Upgrading?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
You already have the Froyo radio so you can skip step 3.
These links should help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618768 especially for getting adb set up and flashing a custom recovery.
I'm an att user, as of froyo both tmo and att versions of the phone use the same radio. So as long as you are coming from a stock froyo build with the new radio you can flash any froyo rom without worrying about the radio... including cm 6 (which I'm currently using without issue).
Edit: it looks as though you have the same radio as me if the baseband version in your post is your phones. so you should be good.

Hi,
I've just bought my first android phone (mytouch 3g) which was rooted by the previous owner to the 2.2 cyanogen mod. The phone is running pretty slow, and I'm guessing it's because of the mod. Is there a step by step guide on how to downgrade it? And is it worth downgrading in the first place?
Thanks.

Perform nandroid backup then download a different rom, store it to the root of your sdcard, wipe your device from recovery and flash your new rom.
CM5.0.8 (current stable CyanogenMod) is fairly fast on my HTC Magic.
1) figure out what model of the Magic you have 32A or 32B (see the cyanogen wiki)
2) go to the cyanogen wiki (google for the page) and follow the instructions
generally it goes like this
1) download proper rom (for the 32a/32b) and put it on an sd card in your phone
2) go into recovery mode (hold home + power)
3) do a nandroid backup
4) wipe
5) install rom file(s) from sd card
6) you're done
As I had some difficulties putting together the guides out there, for the ps3 hack, and used quite an amount of time, figuring this out.
I finally managed to prepare my phone for this, so I though I would share
1st you need the right radio and SPL (HBOOT) and custom recovery
2nd you need to flash Cyanogen mod 6
3rd you need to flash EIB1 port
and at last you can flash the PSfreedom mod kernel
The guide:
1. the goal is to obtain 3.22 radio and 1.33 SPL and custom recovery. Use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
1.1 It's important you don't have radio/SPL mismatch in order to use this tool. If you have 6.35 radio, you need to flash 1.76 SPL first.
1.2 After this you can flash old files (this flashes both 3.22 radio, 1.33 SPL and custom recovery.
2. Now, you can go on and flash cyanogen mod 6.0.0. I used the froyo redux modded, but i recommend using this clean install though
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/3-htc-dream-htc-magic/
2.1 flash it, by using custom recovery. get into recovery by turning of phone, and press and hold "home" + "power" buttons.
2.2 1st you ned to wipe "data/factory reset" and "cache" (i wiped dalvik as well)
2.3 go back, and choose "flash zip from sd card" and locate the zip file.
2.4 reboot to make sure everything is fine
3. Now you can flash the EBI1 port, from here, for the 6.0.0 version, via the custom recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377
3.1 reboot
4. Finally you can flash the PSfreedom kernel. get it from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_32A
4.1 reboot
Finally, you are ready to hack your ps3.
For further instructions follow the already made guide for PSfreedom here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_psfreedom
feel free to comment, so we can make this guide as accurate as possible, in case I should have forgot something or written something unclear
Good luck!
Why don't do you just flash ps3 custom firmware?
The 3.55 have been out for quite some time now.
I did that long time ago and it's working perfectly.
The usb-dongle hack is to annoying.
For your guide to work, you must have 1 requirement at the first step.
The device needs an eng spl for it to work.
The rest seems all ok :0)
Anyway, thank you for making a contribution.
Heh... yeah I found that on youtube today (CWF)... haven't gotten it to work yet though... but it's only transfering the game to internal though, so I guess it doesn't matter which method I use, dongle or no dongle...
but upgraded to CFW 3.55 too now.
Hello,
I have a T-Mobile US MyTouch 3g (headphone jack at the top). I followed a guide in this forum, created a gold card, and rooted it - it has the "HTC Magic" boot animation (the guide I followed said I can swap this out later).
ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 is running. I want to install Clockworkmod recovery, but it asks me to choose my phone version and I'm confused as to which one to install now. I have the following choices:
HTC Dream (GSM)
Ion/MyTouch 3G (GSM)
HTC Magic (GSM)
My recovery says "RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G" at the bottom.
In the System Information section, I have the following stats:
HTC Magic
Android 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel Version 2.6.34.1-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1
Cyanogenmod-6.1.0-DS
1. Is it safe to flash Clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager? If so, which one should I flash?
2. Can I safely upgrade to CM 7.x through Clockworkmod?

MyTouch/Ion recovery and yes. Follow the instructions that are provided for CM 7. I would honestly flash through the recovery itself and not through the Rom Manager. But that's just me. CM6 and CM7 has had issues flashing the recovery though. You may have to try a couple of times. If all else failes then flash the ENG bootloader back onto your phone, flash the image through fastboot and then go back to the stock spl.
Why are you swapping to Clockworkmod? Secondly, I though the CM team was no longer supporting the dream/sapphire.

Dear Friends
I know that if i want to go back to 0.32 based rom from official GB i have to first downgrade to Froyo. But my question is isn't there anyway by which we can directly flash Ezet's cm 7.2 without downgrading by modifying something may be? I am sorry, I am not a dev and don't know much about it, but the fact that i have to downgrade is kind of scary for me. There are a few more questoins;
How safe is downgrading to froyo?
What exactly is the (technical) reason why we have to downgrade (if at all) ?
My current setup is as following:
Rom: T.M.C. CM 7 (0.35)
Recovery: 5.5.0.4
Partition Scheme: Forumber's zip
I presume to downgrade I must do the following
1. Revert back to stock partition
2. Flash official froyo in pink screen mode by copying dload in internal as well as external sd card
Is this correct procedure?
Besides this i have my pink screen dump of stock froyo using dd on linux. Do you think restoring this backup is more safe in comparison to installing through pink screen?
Reasons why I want to downgrade : TS lag, Poor GPS in every 0.35 or 3.0.8 roms, poor battery backup.
Thanks for reading
Enlighten me friends....
Will this work?
Well the objective is to flash froyo baseband rom (e.g. Ezet's CM7.2) directly from gb baseband (404020) rom without having to install official froyo.
For now i know that the kernel and the baseband is different and from what i have read at droidforums.net
"The baseband is the subsystem of the phone that controls radio communications. It's a chipset on the phone that directly controls cellular hardware and communications with cell towers." (Enlighten me if this is wrong?)
Now i have the backup of my imei in 5iromtoolbox when i was on froyo. Does that also backup the baseband? If it does then
(1) We can reflash the froyo baseband on gb/ics(404020) using 5iromtoolbox, then
(2) replace recovery to 5.0.2.7
....????? (anything else required)
....????? (anything else required)
(?) flash cm 7.2 from Ezet?
Now the question is Will this work ? If so what will be exact steps
look at this
Can some dev look at this

and tell weather a similar thing is possible for our device.
Hi it is the first time I am flashing Android ROM. I have done some reading already. Before I start, I still have a few questions and also want to make sure I am doing it right.
I own the Galaxy S4 Verizon I545. It is running Samsung ROM Android 4.4.2, Baseband I545VRUFNC5. My goal is to flash a new ROM with recent Android versions, hopefully 7.1.1 (but I would settle with Marshmallow if that is more stable), it can be close to AOSP, I don't need ROMs with extra features.
In my understanding, the bootloader is locked, it will only load signed kernels and recovery. And then the kernel would load the system. In order to flash the system, it is best to flash the recovery first with TWRP. TWRP is modded with loki hack so it would load with the locked bootloader.
So here are my questions:
1. Does it matter which firmware/baseband I am currently on? For some phones (LG G2) I heard newer firmware fixed the loki hack. Should I update to the latest Samsung rom or leave it at NC5?
2. I don't see many ROM posted for the i545, which one is the most recent and reasonable stable? The Cyanogen website is down, should I try LineageOS?
3. I see different instructions for flashing TWRP. Can I flash it with just Odin? Some instruction mentioned rooting the phone first with KingRoot or other root, and then use dd. Does the phone have to be rooted? (I prefer not to if it is not necessary)
4. If after I flashed recovery, it fails to boot into TWRP, what can I do to restore everything to default?
5. The kernel will be untouched in the process right? I am only flashing recovery and system ROM, and the kernel will work fine with the new system ROM?
Here are the step and software I plan to use:
0. reset the phone to factory
1. use Odin to flash TWRP 2.8.7
2. download a ROM compatible with I545 and place it on the phone
3. flash the system using TWRP
Any feedback would be appreciated.
PS: Also I have a LG G2 D801. I would flash that phone instead if it is easier. I just want to get started and learn some things along the way.

Oh Sorry. Didn't notice there is another forum. Should I repost there?
Yes.
1. Yes, it does matter. As you said, newer firmwares have fixed the exploits which make the phone harder to hack.
2. Any ROM should support your phone. They are generally unified.
3. In the name of anything holy, do not root with KingRoot. If you want to root, then the only way to go is CF-Auto-Root.
Rooting is sometimes necessary because recovery won't always install with Odin.
4. Flash stock ROM.
5. Kernels are specific to ROMs. So no, the kernel won't be untouched.
