prejudice I would ask what devices can be made to the 2.1 update since it is not yet clear if you can only play on 02 or on all devices such as unlocked (sim free).thanks
I have an unlocked usa version and it works
Just followed the instructions in this site.
thanks, much more than just re-install 1.6, thanks again
Which build did you have originally stock? And what were the last 2 numbers in your base band? Thanks

I think we need someone to explain well with a single thread on which devices can be done. a sort of the definitive guide to 2.1 on the Dell Sreak
I have it on my "Unlocked" US streak, baseband ended with 01 when I got it.
Had to flash Modaco's 1.6 rom, install stock recovery, then update to 2.1
I'm pretty sure all versions of the Streak support the update, but some people have reported radio issues (not getting any signal, etc.)

Pretty sure thats correct, obviously you shouldnt run a .pkg update with the radio if its not for your device... i did (usa locked) 1.6 to cwork recovery flashed the modaco o2 1.6 rom, then the o2 factory recovery had to be flashed so i could flash the leaked 2.1.

Hi to all,
I'm owner of a GSM Hero and I'm new to this forum. After the last announce made by HTC (Hero update in june), I'm thinking to install a custom ROM...but, cause I'm a newbie, I've few questions and also...I'm afraid to brick the phone!!! Is it dangerous???
1) I've read the tutorial about installing a custom ROM but I didn't understand when I've to install the last radio version. At beginning of the process??? After the backup?
2) I was thinking about VanillaEclair and VillainRom. At the moment these ROMs have GPS and data connection fully working?
3) Major known bugs of these ROMs (all apps are working, etc...)? Are the acceptable for everyday use? (I don't use exchange contact sync).
All your opinions will be appreciated!!!

Rooting itself isn't that dangerous, as long as you follow the instructions and don't do anything silly like pull the battery mid wipe then you should be fine
1) Radio can be flashed at any time, I usually update the radio after the ROM is installed an setup.
2) + 3) I don't know about Vanilla Eclair, but there is very little the doesn't work with Villain ROM (very feature complete)
sequence
supposidely you have rooted the hero. its usually radio first and then the rom. radio actually can be changed before the rooting as well, if i'm not wrong.
The only way you can brick your phone is during a radio or recovery flash (which you won't be doing very often).

Hey, so i just traded my xperia play for an Atrix and have been reading all the guides ever since.
I am also wondering how can i check if the device has an unlocked bootloader.
It is rooted if that helps.
Model #: MB860 , Baseband Version: N_01.92.00R ,
Motorola Webtop Version: OSHWT_U1_6.54.0 , Build #: OLYEM_U4_2.1.1
Alright, so my main questions are: How can i get android 2.3.4 on my device?
Can i flash the AT&T sbf even if my phone is not from at&t?
I can answer one question for ya.
If your bootloader is unlocked it will say unlocked in the top left corner on the motorola dual core boot screen.
Other than that Im not to sure on how to go about getting GB on there.
Edit: Brainfart moment, Once you unlock your bootloader you can flash a custom rom and flash Faux123's unified kernal for all carriers. You will have to set your apns up manually but thats not hard.
Go the the pudding sticky in the dev forum to get your bootloader unlocked.
If your still unsure after that, come back here and Post your questions.
if bootloader is unlocked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 read that install rsd lite the x64 drivers and the sbf flasher heres the unlocker for bell http://diamantephoto.com/IHOP_Bell.rar

alright so i think my atrix is a retail france version (System version is: Version.4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR)?
so after unlocking the bootloader what should i do to get a simple stock-like gingerbread rom?
After that you have to get romracers cwm installed to install roms and kernels. You can install any rom of your choice, you just have to flash the unified kernel by faux123 each time you change roms.
Sorry id give you links but im using my phone, both links are in the dev forum.
Your radio will stay the same
Just read everything twice and its a piece of cake. Theoretically of course

hey so ive unlocked the bootloader, rooted, installed romracers cwm, and installed the stock-like Homebase rom (v1.4).
After installing homebase my phone started heating up alot and the battery started draining really fast, so...
I just have a few more questions:
How can i check where my atrix is from (is it an At&t one, a bell one or and international one)
Can i installed AT&T roms? (i just have to flash faux's kernel after right?)
is there any other rom that is available that is as stock as possible, a stock rom that i can flash without loosing cwm and root?
Here are the two available radios posted by other users. The radio "17.5006.08.27" has been reported to have issues with the US AT&T Titan so be warned.
You Flash at your own risk!! If your phone explodes and kills your entire family, that's on you.
RADIOS
17.5006
16.23
Once I find out how to extract them myself I'll post the others.
May I also add here that 17.5006.08.27 radio in general *may have* problems with Titan?
Once that was flashed, I am unable to get rid of that radio and thus, no other ROM boots on my phone any longer. Not even the one with radio 17 or stock!

This is strange, why just now this is happening considering we been using this radio version for a while since hspl became available with titan. Could it be that you got a bad flash from one of the radio v 17 that came with custom rom you flashed? Just on the weekend I flashed roms with radio v17 (WPV rom7.8 4.1) then tried nhatoa's 7.8 with radio v16 and now I'm back with WPV's v4.2 with radio17.
I think I might have had a bad flash with radio 17 then. I am not sure how to revert it though.

If everything all fail using normal flashing tool, it might pay to try a goldcard method to flash stock rom?

Yes, I was suggested that too earlier. I'm a little skeptical with goldcard as I've never taken that route.
I'm more curious in terms of what could have cause a bad flash where a radio cannot be changed at all?

Dont be skeptical ...Its an esay task .. I have done this a lot of times ... Once you have the cable all other staff its easy ...
Alot of things can go bad when you flash ... dont bother thinking about that ...

I'm sure you'll share your findings if ever you find out what've cause this issue with your phone and save us this trouble of "bricking" our phone. As to the goldcard method , you're rigght to be skeptical, initially it's a hit and miss but once you got the Y cable and micro sd card going it is really quite straightforward process. I have an ATT titan so the only way to flash custom from stock is by GC method and been doing this quite regularly (being a flashaholic)

Hi Do you perhaps know if this upgrade will come to us in South Africa as we also have AT&T HTC Titans (2x)? Zune says that no updates are available.
Otherwise can the experts please enable this upgrade via the CAB sender method?
Thanks in advance

Hello guys,
Can anyone reupload radios for Titan? Links are dead.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Guys,
I have an unbranded HTC Amaze(Asian Version), s-on and rooted, recently I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10 on it using 4ext, it flashed fine, but after starting, it kept hanging and rebooting, so I researched a bit and found out that my firmware is still the old gingerbread one, and to upgrade it I would have to turn s-off first.
However, I found a stock T-mobile Gingerbread ROM ,and flashed it its working fine now, and the it also allows me to update the system to ICS officially using the update available.
But my question is that if I update my android officially using the ICS update available, would it update my kernel as well? So I may be able to flash custom ICS roms on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thnx
Yes, it'll upgrade the software, kernel, and radio. But it's not recommended to do.
There's a link to the guide to upgrade the Asian amaze in the OP of the viper thread.
Follow the guide and read it thoroughly first.
Afaik you should use the guide and it'll then you'll be good!

Alright but as Im not using the stock RUU anymore, but the T-mobile one, so would I be able to turn S-off ? because I read that stock RUU is a must if u want to go s-off?
.
I just recently did my first root (CM11 on my i757m). I am looking at rooting my wifes i717m. There seems to be a little less info available for this modle.
If I flash a new ROM, (CandyKat or something) do I also need to flash a new Radio like I did with my i757m? All the threads I have read don't seem too mention a radio. If I do a full wipe (like the instructions stat), won't the radio be gone? Or is it included in the ROM?
Also, from what I read, it seems that the AT&T ROMs will work on the i717m (Bell). Is this true?

Most ROMs have a radio check in the updater script and is usually the ucmd3 radio, would be best to flash that one since its the newest. No the radio won't get erased the radio will remain no matter how many ROMs you flash. Only way for it to get over written is if you flash another radio to your device. The att ROMs should work for bell just as long the device is carrier unlocked, I'm running mine on T-Mobile and never had any serious issues.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I will have to look at getting the phone carrier unlocked before attempting to flash a new ROM.
