** MODS can you please move this thread to the Q&A section please?**
Hi everyone,
I've been having a bit of a problem since I've updated my phone to Froyo. I'm having the problem where I can use my camera w/out a problem but the minute I switch over to the video recording mode, everything locks up and the phone resets on me. Has anyone encounter this issue before and if so what was the remedy. I did try to revert back to the latest 2.1 and updated to 2.2 but it still was the same problem. Thanks in advance for your time and input.
Below is a quick background on my N1:
-Unlocked boot loader and rooted the phone.
-Did run a custom rom ( before 2.2) at one point but went back to the stock rom
- No Radio has been updated from the upgrades I've done (not that i'm aware of).
- Baseband version 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
- Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d andriod [email protected]#1
- Build # FRF91
Been covered numerous times, you need to upgrade the radio.
Update to the froyo radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks futango i'll give that a go.
Hi. I have an HTC hero from Telus. I was extremely happy with my phone's operation until I upgraded it to 2.1. This is the Telus upgrade and I have not rooted my phone (yet).
Ever since then:
* have been dropping calls
* have been losing antenna
* not able to make a call: I would have to try 2 or sometime even 3 times to be able to dial a number
* some of my text messages are not received by the recipients
I have done a hard reset after I upgraded my phone, but it did not help. I only have a total of 5 or 6 apps installed. After the hard reset, I waited before installing the apps. Even without any of the apps installed, I was still dropping calls.
My guess is that there is an issue with the baseband version that came with the new (2.1) install. Here is what I have right now:
baseband: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
Kernel: 2.6.29-7527f009
build#: 3.36.661.1 CL199109
SW#: 3.36.661.1
Any ideas on what I can do to make things as stable as they were on 1.5? I'm guessing I will have to root my phone and install a different version on it, considering HTC or Telus won't be fixing this issue any time soon.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to make the PHONE functionality most stable? (I use my phone as a phone first and then other things). Which baseband version and which SW version? I don't have a preference between 1.5, 2.1, or 2.2 as long as it's stable.
Thanks for your help.
Update your radio pal. Start with the newest, if it is not perfect, try the next one along. Google "villain rom GSM hero radio" for the links. Use btdag's noob guide in the dev section for a quality tutorial on flashing roms and radios.
Pretty sure the OP already has the latest and greatest radio. This radio gets the best signal strength for me with slightly more battery drain than before.
OP, where in the country do you reside?
Since I've been using 2.2 ROMs for the last few months, I suggest trying these for stability:
*AOSP ROMs*
Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906552)
Floyo 1.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784689)
An online buddy of mine (who has thoroughly tested all the ROMs) says Cronos 2.1 is a good one:
*Sense ROMs*
Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair (http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=279)
Cronos 2.1.4.2 Light Eclair(http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=397)
Thanks. I will pick one of the ones you suggested and root my phone this weekend. I'll report back if the problem doesn't go away.
Had the same problem as you, the solution i found is to use "WCDMA only" and not "GSM / WCDMA auto " in network mode. Works great since.
I am on Telus with their 2.1
I was already on WCDMA preferred. Changing it to WCDMA only didn't make a difference.
I rooted last night and tried the Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero first. But really missed the feel of sense. Cronos site was down last night, so I went with Tegro-2.3 for now. I haven't upgraded the radio from the base recovery image yet. I'll wait and see how things work. Now that I am setup for rooting, I will change until I find a build that is fully operational and has no lag.
Thanks everyone.
I use HTC Hero Cronos Ginger 1.0.1 now, it's like having a new phone, everything is perfect and very very really very fast.
excuse me may I ask you that what radio room is?
is it included in our ROM ( such as elelinux , cyanogen v.v.....) or it must be install in another way?
Hi everybody
I am not very good at android, so excuse me If my question does not sound professional.
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who puts their effort in simplifying people's relationship with technology here.
My problem stand in the following:
With HC3.2 my A501 would completely disable wifi after inserting a SIM card. So I decided to run away from this problem and flashed it with custom rom. The previous problem has gone but now I have another one. I use to get 'please insert a sim card' message on lock screen after some time of using 3G and only thing that helps is reboot upon which the sim card is recognized again until the next failure.
The strange thing that I notice is when I get 'please insert a sim card' message I can still see service indicator with changing bars in the left lower corner. But when I open it by tapping, it says 'no service' instead of the provider name.
As I said before I use to reboot as a workaround, but sometimes its too annoying as it happens frequently. So, appreciate anyone for better idea.
My A501 currently runs on:
Kernel version - 2.6.36.3Honeyvillain-3.4+
Build number - Tabooney 2.2 (7.006_COM_GEN1)
Thanks in advance to all!

I'm going to take a guess at 2 things.
1. Taboonay 2.2 did not come with the honeyvillain 3.4+ kernel. So, did you do a kernel flash to a different kernel? If I remember, 2.2 came with the 3.7+ kernel, which doesn't work well with the 501. Might be some module file mismatch. Common when doing kernel changes.
2. Taboonay 2.2 uses the same rom build for both the 500 and 501. I'm just guessing that there may be some code that is either missing, or interferes with the 501. At least this is my guess. Especially when running patches from 2.0 to 2.2.
Both of the above might account for your 3g issues. Especially when running Wifi.
My advice, is backup your stuff, and try a different Rom made specifically for the 501. You won't have these issues. You can try my Alex II (HC3.2), or my Alex III (HC 3.2.1). Alex II is easier to install. Both use the 3.4+ version kernel.
Also, never remove or insert a SIM card with the tablet running. This can bork things up and also cause some sim card errors.

Thank you for stopping by.
I guess you are right at that point. I remember I was happy to have achieved simultaneous work of 3G/Wifi from the beginning but then this problem came up.
Where can I get your solution? I would apply for it and post back the result.
Actually the solution is not an easy one. Usually kernels can get messed up when you flash and reflash different kernels. Maybe not with the villain kernels as they are by the same author.
I would try this. Download the 3.4+ kernel from here;
http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/
Reflash again through CWM. If you want, you can wipe cache and Dalvik cache, but I think it's not necessary.
See if that fixes it. If not, you can either re-install Taboonay again, or try a different rom that's made exactly for the 501.
I used to run Taboonay 2.0 a long time ago. Just wasn't happy with the 2.2, so I started doing my own.

Hi All,
I've done literally weeks of research on this, so hopefully I've not missed any easy posts, but I want to check my approach and ask a final question. This is my daily phone, and while I know the risks and issues with custom roms, I want to get it right. Hope someone can advise.
ROM I want to install is Quarx's JB 4.1.2 CM10.
Phone I have is UK Motorola Defy (Red Lens, original):
System version: Blur_Version_2.21.0.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Model Number: MB525
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: EPU93ST2_U_03.02.00
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
My plan is:
1. Official upgrade to Froyo - it seems this is not yet done on mine, and custom ROMs require its Kernel, I read
2. Root phone - SuperOneClick
3. Titanium Backup - Needs Root
4. ClockWorkMod Recovery - Needs Root, and gives me Nandroid Backup capability in BootLoader
5. Nandroid Backup - this should provide me a route back to stock (* see question below)
6. Flash ROM - this will give me CM10 based on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
Question is, despite reading many threads, I'm still confused on CG versions and SMG file versions (CG##.smg). I do want to be able to flash back to stock after this, in case I want to sell the phone - if I flash up to Quarx's CM10 JB 4.1.2, what CG version is it and is it higher than I can possibly get back to stock from? Or can I find a Fixed SBF of a Stock ROM that will let me go back? How can I best prepare for this?
Anything else to be aware of or concerned about?
Thanks very much.
Steve.
The easiest approach is to directly flash cm10 first and check off it works(you can flash back your stock sbf if there's any problem) because CM10 WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CG VERSION
The potential problem you can face(which can not stop you from stock sbf flash) is an incompatibility of 2ndboot with your stock kernel.
If you run into that problem (which I think should not occur) you will have to flash a compatible sbf, with higher cg version and a compatible stock kernel.

Thanks - good to know CM10 has no CG version. I expected the developers to want to get rid of that kind of limitation as soon as they could!
Hmmm, so could someone confirm, that Quarx's CM10 will flash directly over the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM as listed above (with root/CWM), and doesn't need Froyo deployed as a base? That would really help if so - then I have no further considerations and I can just get on with it. I'll take it carefully and I'd rather not be faced with non-booting etc the first time round.
I believe wifi tethering doesn't work on it, though, or there's some problem with restarting regarding wifi tether. That's a shame, but maybe an app like Barnacle or OpenGarden can work instead...?
You could try it yourself by taking a Nandroid backup and if you face the non booting problem then flash stock sbf+ restore. Beware that sometimes first boot hangs or bootloops and in such cases you can fix the problem with a battery pull, or data wipe respectively
Open garden works without issues
Hit thanks!
Hi my phone (LG Optimus L3) has Android 2.3.6 I want to upgrade it to a newer version (3.5 or higher). Is this phone able to use higher versions of Android ? is it safe just to update the OS in the phone, if something will went wrong how can I reinstall the old version, that manufacture has installed ?

Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

. Are you taking about using the SDMerg Mod to increased your memory? I dont have a problem with it, I can transfer video,music and images to my phone... as well as apk files.

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.
