ROM UPGRADE? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

hi im really new to this soooo excuse me if these questions are stupid.
1. What is a rom upgrade? i see many people talking about it in the forums but i still dont know what it is. Do i need it? would my device run better if i upgraded my rom? if so which rom should i use? i currently have ver. 1.66 wwe. or somthing like that. and im using an 02 xda 2.

A ROM upgrade is basically upgrading the software on the XDA that controls the PDA and the phone aspects, the operating system effectively. I have the same ROM version as yourself but continually have problems with the phone to the extent i cant really use it. Flashing to a different version of ROM may solve my problems but also may screw up the device if im unlucky. Basically, if your xda works fine, you dont need it.

okay thanks. i guess i wont be changing my rom cause im not having any problems with my phone. and i've been reading alot of horrible stories about other people's phone not working after changing the rom. thanks for the advice.

NIKI100 F*&Ked UP

Every since i SPLed and changed to windows 6.5, my phone has been really funny.
Sometimes people cant hear me, sometimes they can, sometimes i get this crackly fingy on the line, just some funny noises on the line.
I have done the SPL thing a few times and HSPL as well and tried different flavours of ROM and radio ROMS but naaaa. Anyone had this issue and any suggestions on how to fix at all please?
Thanks
Sometimes you need to install a stock HTC rom and then reinstall the rom of your choice. I noticed weird things only in WM6.5 roms also, I thought my phone was almost dead, then I flashed an old stock rom, redid the radio and installed the rom again, and all was fine...so I tend to now go through this every half a dozen flashes, just to keep the phone running smooth.
As far as radio - I find 1.65.28.25 gives me the best battery life and WM6.5 needs a 1.65 radio (from what I understand).
I assume that the phone is CID unlocked - what version of HSPL did you install - 1.22?
DT
hey dt i think for a 20 key nike the best radio is 1.65.29.22
for a 16 key nike its 1.65.28.25 i think
cuz 1.65.28.25 sucked on m phone initially
.......about flashing a stock rom.... totally agreed
I installed HSPL 1.22 and am not too sure what radio but will try radio 1.65.29.22 as stated. Stock ROM... what does that mean please??? Oh yeah and its a 20 key NIKI
thanks guys

That means an official ROM version (like the one you had on your phone before flashing a custom ROM). There is a thread with many original ROMs here. Perhaps one of those helps.
mblaster
my phone does the same 2
i have no sound at all now :S and no 2nd camera i`v tried more thn diffrent radios but nothing really worked HELP~!
Are we allowed to swear
Are we allowed to swear on this site? I have just about had it with my NIKI but cant bear to see this beautiful device go to waste. Could it be faulty? It works great with the earpiece connected. All these issues never happened until i decided to go high tech and change the ROM
Hi all,
Okay, not sure this will change the strange behavior your dealing with but I thought I give it a try just read this from twolf it's about flashing on sd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3314744&postcount=31
Otherwise I think you guy's could have some bad blocks and then you have to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2183617
Just be carefull otherwise your Nike ends as a doorstop.
Goodluck and be carefull

Audio and camera problems, please help

Hi you all,
I've got myself a Niki100 (16k) and having serious hardware problems at the moment.
As far as I know, I've tried all possible radio versions and the only one that came close to the original situation is the 1.71.09.01. This one gives me the camera back but still no sound and ofcouse ringtones.
I use the following configuration:
NIKI100 16k
Original HTC ROM 6.1 dutch
Changed radio to 1.71.09.01 due to hardware problems
HardSPL 1.15
Even with installing the original HTC ROM upgrade (including radio) problem persists.
Please help, I thought I could handle this myself but at the moment there is no more solution I can think of.
Many thanks,
Koen

Hi lijnkamp,
Just one small question, I noticed you used a lot of different radio's but did you use different rom's, I've read that you installed the original but was that a reinstall or did you use other rom's and can you tell me which one you used.
Regards,
ps If you prefer to use Dutch you can send me a pm

The link I gave you was the latest wm 6.1 rom original, if your problems are solved, you have a lot of rom's you can choose it just depends on what you want.
Just let me know if your problems are fixed.

Unfortunately, no results. Camera is working fine but no sound at all. Could it be the hardssl version I'm using (1.15) ?
Updated to hardspl 1.22 and did a new full recovery of the latest rom you gave me, still no sound :-(

Can you tell me when it all went wrong, was it after flashing Hardspl 1.15 or just after a flash with a cooked rom or something else.
Regards,
It went wrong after flashing 1.15 and installing a cooked rom. Flashing was succesful and did an instance install of a cooked W6.5 ROM. That's the problem with this kind of ****, everything looks fine and I found out that there was a problem a few hours after install. Phone did vibrate but no sound during the call.
I know it's very hard for you to sort things out, maybe I should live with the fact that my beloved Niki is gone

Hmm ok the only suggestion I can give you is to do the hardspl stuff again and don't use 1.22 only 1.15

[Q] FC Issue

i have the official 2.1 rom on my phone that i have deleted from it a lot of an unusable apps. and some time when i an in a progrem for some time it writes to me the FC of:com.htc.bgp and than it dont do nothing. i just dont like it. can somebody tell me what i did wrong, or, how to fix it?
thanks in advence
wow, thanks for all the replys, unfortunately non of them works.
thanks anyway.lol
Very few people here use official software. Chances are the programs you have installed are causing something in sense to crash. Try and replicate the problem consistently and you might be able to solve it. Failing that just re-install your software from scratch (i.e. downgrade to an old version of Android using a HTC RRU exe file from their website for your network. Then let that find the update to 2.1 and install that on a fresh system. Then start installing your own apps and customising settings.

Dalet made HebVillain. Worth a look?
Also, stock isn't really the point in this forum for most people. Custom ROMs are the main ones used here, so few people know about the stock ones, as they're often slower, buggier and worse.

[Q] Flashed CM7 (with TWRP) No GSM and not detecting SIM Card

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 <-- Where i downloaded CM7
- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!

Read the entire guide, step by step!!!... Anyway it is pretty straightforward
BTW, remember to first install lg drivers on your pc... connect the phone via usb and disable LGE Virtual Modem drivers from device manager on windows,, --> this is extremely important to succeed!
My phone is ok again TakamineSubasa! i just needed an opinion on which ROM should i flash! I've done that guide and it went well! (for the 2.3.3 version! i think i messed up and used P500-v20G-baseband for CM7 [wrong one] and should have used P500-v10E-baseband). But ofc a stable ROM that doesnt have GSM problems :s
btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!
Thanks for all the help!
Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.

Awesome news! i decided to flash CM7 again! Did the tutorial terratrix provided right after i flashed it and GSM is working perfectly! (just dont know why i had to import my contacts to the phone! Aparentely CM7 doesnt read contacts that are in the SIM card! No biggie!)
Thank you so much for every help you provided guys!

i think that is something related to dhcp , that it varies depending on the router, i read that if you change some value the wifi wont disconect anymore, but hey you cant just going everywhere configuring someones router ,i do believe its google`s android fault, it must be a bug or something.Anyway any chance that someone makes a 2.3.4 custom based rom?
so can anybody take on my request?

For my experience I can say: you won't get any satisfactory solution, I've tried, believe me. If you want a stock rom, just flash another ROM without the issue (2.3.4 and lower). This sucks, but it doesn't get any better. Sorry.
its totally unvelivable, nobody has any solution?? is this a android bug?, well i guess i should give up then, back to 2.3.4 or to cyanogen mod
buy another routers
