I have cyanogen mod 7 installed on my wildfire and kernel nfinity [email protected] #1. I ve seen many people to try the AGPS script to improve signal quality and lock onto more satellites, but havent worked for me. I use gps status but i cant get any satellite even without having install the AGPS fix. Ive seen a post where it suggest of reinstalling the radio, and i thought id post before trying it. Any idea? Thanks
Reflash the radio
You're going to need to flash it with a 2.5 recovery.
Flash this file in the recovery and it will give you a temporary 2.5 recovery that goes away once you reboot.
Try to:
-place the radio zip in sd card(version 3.35.19.25 and 3.35.20.10)
-open(or download if you don't have it,and open) rom manager;
-go to "all clockworkmod recoveries";
-downgrade your recovery to version 2.5.0.7;
-scroll up and reboot into recovery;
-wipe dalvik cache;
-install the previous version (3.35.19.25) of the radio with"install zip from sd card";
-reboot the phone
gps works?
if yes,you can reflash the radio 3.35.20.10 with the same steps,and after install the latest version of recovery with rom manager.
sorry for my english if I made mistakes...
Do you get gps icon in your status bar?
If not then try this:
Flash a sense rom, like RemPuzzle, and start gps, get a fix, DO NOT TURN OFF GPS, wipe everything and flash cm7 again!
This worked for me when i was using cm7.

Hi guys,... Im quite new around here.
Just wanted some advice regarding radio updates.
In my Settings -> About phone -> Baseband Version
It states: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
I have flashed the Modaco 3.2 ROM, do i need to update the radio aswel?
is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 the latest one and would it be compatable with my rom?
and lastly, to install it, do I just download it, change the name to 'update.zip' then install it through the recovery thing like i did the custom ROM?
Please help me.
Thank you.
---------------------------
Also,... Can the radio be 'rolled back' should i face any issues?
You can, but don't have to flash a newer radio athough it is allway recommended to have the newest radio installed.
You don't have to a wipe before flashing a new radio.
You do not have to rename the radio.zip to update.zip but can also flash it under its original name.
Be shure to use a newer recovery such as the ones pubished by Amon-RA (newest: RA-hero-v1.6.2) since they allow to do a full wipe which is allways recommended prior to ROM-flashing.
and do not pull the battery during the process, it takes a few minutes and restarts several times.
Thank you both.
So the radio is always done after the new ROM is installed right?
So do it in this order yeah,...
1,... Install the custom recovery (Amon RA)
2,... Do full wipe, (Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe SD)
3,... Flash custom ROM
4,... Boot up.
5,... Format SD card on phone.
6,... Re-boot.
7,... Put new radio on SD. Turn off.
8,.. Go into recovery again to install radio.
Is that about right?
Will i be able to roll back the radio if needed?
5 is optional but if done, then best before 3 or even before 2.
roll back the radio: yes you can!
Thank you,... I've just done it,... And my network signal is alot better, i was only getting 2bars, 3 at best, i assumed it was due to me using a rebel sim but now with the updated radio im getting full signal!!
Thank you.
Ok so I originally rooted my phone and put Fresh ROM on it, there was a little hiccup in the install but I didnt really think much of it, recently when I tried to flash a new ROM (I tried multiple ones just to be sure it wasn't the rom) but whenever I try to flash the ROM (using clockworkmod from recovery mode) it will say the install was successful but when I reboot it will do one of two things: stay on the "HTC EVO 4G" startup screen or continue to turn off and on like its in a bootloop. Does anyone have any ideas whats happening and what I should do? I have tried clearing/wiping all of the options that are available in clockworkmod and even tried using a new SD Card but it still does the same thing

Hi there. First off, I need a little more info, like which rom you are trying to flash right now. Also, what radio's and pri do you currently have?(menu>settings>about phone>software info, radio is baseband) If you have the older radio and PRI, (same as the ones in my sig), and you are flashing to a 3.70 software ROM, which most likely you are, you will need to either flash a custom kernel, while in recovery, just after flashing the rom (before you boot). Or upgrade your radios. If you have already updated your radios, and you're still experiencing this, I would first and foremost, switch to Amon Ra recovery (which version of clockwork are you on, btw?). The easiest way to switch to Amon Ra, is to get Rom Manager from the market. Use rom manager to "flash clockworkmod reocovery" (even though you already have clockwork, do this) Then scroll down, and you'll see "flash alternate recovery". Select that, and let it flash Amon Ra for you. Shut the phone down, and manually boot into recovery (vol down+power). Use amon's recovery to do a full wipe, (data, cache, davlik cache x3) Then flash calkulin's format all.zip. That will ensure a good wipe. Then follow my above mentioned instructions, and try again. That should work. If it doesn't, report what the exact errors are here. Good luck
Maybe this is a stupid question, but are you able to nand restore to a rom where your phone will actually boot up?
Calkulin format all zip is your best bet. It will wipe your system data, data, cache and dalvik cache. A full purge.
Just have a good zip like chris sprint lovers rom. And better yet a PC36100.zip from chris all in one update thread.
Sent by my eVo running Vin255764 Plutonium...yup
Here's a few suggestion:
Change your radio version - Some kernels don't work right with the newest, and some don't work right with older ones.
Change your kernel - This is always the best suggestion IMO. For a sense based ROM run one of netarchy's latest kernels. Often a bootloop is because of a kernel/radio issue.
Plus with netarchy and setcpu you'll get some wicked battery life.
Try wiping everything, and then try again. Also try flashing a different rom
having issues flashing myn rom

Hi everyone.
I'm just creating this thread to share any issues everyone is facing with cm7. And maybe getting issues fixed. Just trying so that everyone will share their issues + known solutions if any. Please specify the CM version on what you are talking about... PLS SHARE THE THINGS..
NOTE : The below things doesn't mean that they should be present in your device. It is always better if you don't have those. Just they are the common issues faced by many people.
FAQ's
1. My GPS / Wifi is not working.
A: This is the issue which most of the people are facing. Re-flashing the radio will solve this (cannot assure this since it didn't solve for some people) . If you are going with re-flashing the radio, please make sure that you have enough battery and using recovery 2.x (the one from rom manager is also enough). And flashing the hboot and radio has the potential to brick the phone, suppose if anything goes wrong. So, better to avoid doing these things frequently.
ALTERNATE METHOD (SAFE) : This is working. First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.
2. USB tethering not working + I can't see usb tethering option on status bar.
A: The status bar of cm7 doesn't has the option for selecting usb tethering (like stock rom). Instead the option is present in Settings/Wireless & Networks/Tethering & Portable hotspot/usb tethering. So, access the option from here. And make sure that your pc has necessary drivers (HTCDriver_2.0.7.17.exe is enough). No need of drivers for linux.
And another important thing is, You should disable USB DEBUGGING to access usb tethering. For doing that go to Settings/Applications/Development/ . The stock htc rom will disable usb debugging automatically when tethering is selected. But on cm7 presently u need to manually disable the debugging option (for usb tethering to work).
3. I can't access MOBILE INTERNET DATA
A: Check whether you have the correct access point or not. Go to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/ . If this is the issue make sure to manually add APN by clicking menu and select "New APN". The settings to be told by your service provider. Or if you have the previous working nandroid backups, then u can note the settings from them to be entered in CM7 apn. The APN will be generally configured automatically, and in case if they are not, you need to manually add apn.
4. I can't see the market application.
A: Google apps package is not included in CM7 rom. Make sure u have flashed the "universal google apps package for CM7" from the recovery. It is better to flash the google apps just after flashing the rom (without a reboot gap). The process of flashing google apps is same as the process of flashing a custom rom. And login to your gmail account to access the market.
--Google apps link: gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
5. I can't add facebook / twitter account through settings.
A: You need to have those applications installed to add those accounts. Just after opening the market for first time, you will see a MARKET INSTALLER screen to "Choose the apps to install". This includes facebook, gmail, google goggles, google maps, google voice, twitter, youtube and some others. Either install them from this screen or install them later from market to integrate those accounts. And u can synchronize the facebook contacts on doing this.
6. Problem related to Wifi connection
A: Try to change the number of channels under Wifi Advanced settings/Regulatory domain/ .
7. I can't enable BLUETOOTH FTP
Maybe there is no option by default. But you can always enable it with third party apps like "Bluetooth file transfer"(by medieval software) .
8. I can't access root permissions
A: in 99% cases, the su binary will be there in the rom. Incase if you can't access the root permissions due to the absence of su binary, then flash this file from recovery just like flashing any other rom.
su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
9. Font issue of Google Maps
A: The newer version of google maps is somewhat laggy and has blurred fonts. Try the older version (gmm-android-google version:5.0.0) which has clear font and is more responsive.

I have the GPS problem too. I tried reflashing both radios, 19.25 and 20.10 but neither of them worked. Did the backup and restore method you mentioned work properly?

Don't know, but check again ...
You are using recovery 3.x and it is correct one for cm7.
Download link for nightly version here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=buzz
Then boot into custom recovery and select wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset . Then select "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip from sdcard". Then add the downloaded file. Takes around 5min to install. Then install the google apps package linked above. After that, reboot. Will solve i think.
I have a problem with the phone. I am on CM 7 stable. Whenever I receive a phone call, and answer, it first activates speakerphone for a second or two and then goes back to normal. Anybody else have this problem?

Have had something similar, and in trying to restore it, I tought I almost broke my phone :-o it would only boot up in recovery, very painfull for a moment.
I solved it by flashing the nandroid backup immages manualy with the use of fastboot.
1. Open the nandroid backup folder on your computer and you can see a boot.img, data.img and system.img
2. Copy (only) those three in the same folder where fastboot.exe is stored.
3. Reboot phone into bootloader. Select fastboot and plug the phone in your computer.
4. Open the command line on your computer and browse to the folder where fastboot is. Type "fastboot devices" and hit enter. You should see your device listed now.
5. Type
"fastboot flash system system.img" and hit enter
"fastboot flash userdata data.img" and hit enter
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" and hit enter
Note that every time you time you hit enter, you can follow the proces in the bootloader itself.
6. Type "fastboot reboot" and hit enter
It should work. Make sure you have enough battery and wathever you do, do not interupt the flashing proces.
Good luck with it,
Erwin

I guess u have changed the folder name of backup folder (which will be normally in date and time). I have also once changed the folder name of that and it said md5 checksum error. But this can be flashed from fastboot flash method.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While restoring nandroid backup through fastboot process make sure u first delete the things (you can also do these from recovery menu). The commands will be
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase dalvik-cache
fastboot erase system
Then use the commands said above by erwinP (can also include cache.img). Keep your img files in the fastboot.exe folder ( = command prompt CD folder).
And recovery version shouldn't be giving issues related to nandroid restore AFAIK.

Go to this thread [REF] [22/06] [MAJOR UPDATE] The Complete Wildfire Index
and download the radio from section 4. Put the zip file on sdcard.
Then you should have clockworkmod 2.x recovery for flashing this. This is because amend scripting is not supported by recovery 3.x and +. So, if you are using CWM 3.x , then you can open rom manager and select "flash recovery" which flashes 2.5.0.7 recovery as a secondary thing on the memory card. Then if you select "Reboot to Recovery" from the rom manager itself, your phone reboots into 2.x recovery for that one time only [Let us call this as secondary recovery]. Now you can flash the Radio file you downloaded. Make sure your battery is enough so as not to interrupt the process. And once you are in 2.x recovery, then select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Then add your zip file. (NOTE : Donot wipe the data for radio installations, not necessary)
note: For secondary recovery to work, the memory card should be mounted (Although u need it for every recovery flashing).
for me radio re-flashing dont work, or should i flash older 1? thank you.
Hi
I am currently running the latest CM 7 nightly build. However, I have issues with GPS which doesn't find any satellites.
In order to re-flash the radio (which I have tried previously), I need to use ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.x. Currently I have 3.2.0.0.
I have previously used ROM Manager to do this, but now when I install 2.5.0.7 through ROM manager and select Reboot to recovery it simply reboots into 3.2.0.0.
I have tried reinstalling ROM Manager from Android Market after complete uninstall. But the same things keeps happening.
Any suggestions?
BR, Martin / mhca
Is a small "bump" allowed...?
I haven't found a solution yet. I have even played around with different ROMs without success. Is it a bug in ROM Manager?
Do I have to first upgrade CWM to 5.0.0.2 and then afterwards try to use ROM Manager to hopefully reboot into CWM 2.5.0.7 ?
Flash this ZIP in your existing CWM3/4/5 setup. Then you can get temporary 2.5.0.7 without touching the ROM Manager app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
(It's the same temp 2.5.0.7 which ROM Manager downloads.)
Thanks a ton!
I just realised that this was even written with small text in The Complete Wildfire index, right next to the links to the radio. But somehow I missed that.
Really glad that you gave me a fail-safe method which doesn't require Rom Manager.
Radio didn't flash with CWM - used Android Flasher
Although I got a working CWM 2.5.0.7 with the above-mentioned method, I couldn't properly flash the radio.
I got error message "no space left on device", must likely due to custom partition sizes.
I found out that I could use the Windows app Android Flasher to flash the radio. And now my GPS works
Hi, after installing custom firmware (i tried 2 different) my A500 don't turning on. What do I wrong?:
1 downgrading to offical 3.0.1
2.install root
3CWM 1.7 >>1.7.3
4 v8 bootloader (first time didn't do that)
5 download to SD firmware and gapps
6 install firmware and then without rebooting(can this be the problem?) Install gapps
After rebooting device don't turning on only power button lighting. First time downgrade helps, but the second only flash recover((
What do I wrong and how to install custom rom without killing device?
P.s I need only 3g modem support, may be there is the way to install patch on offical firmware?
Sorry for English)

When you install a custom Rom, you have to wipe the original Data first. This is done in the CWM recovery which you installed.
When you boot to CWM Recovery, you have a menu item "Wipes"
In Wipes;
1. Data/Factory Reset (don't worry, it skips your photos and such)
2. Cache
3. Dalvik Cache
Wait, you're not finished.
Go back to the previous menu, and select "Mounts and Storage".
1. Format System
2. Format Flexrom
Now, go back to the previous menu, and select Install Zip from SD (or similar)
Install the Rom.zip you downloaded.
This should get you going. Note that it usually takes about 15 minutes for this process, so make sure you have a charged battery.
Also, just so you know, if you are running a stock rooted rom, there is an app called PPP in the 500 Apps and Themes forum, which allows you to use a USB Modem. So check it out.
