I have just rooted my Thunderbolt and I am looking to install a rom. Das Bamf looks great. I have experience flashing roms on my OG Droid. However I never had to flash any radios. What radios will work/recommended for Bamf? And Do I need to install the 1.7 first then the remix or is the remix a full rom? How do I install the custom lock screens?
You should not have to flash a radio with 1.7 it comes packaged with everything you need. Do a backup, wipe, and flash the new rom.

same you would a radio. download the zip to your sd card and install it from recovery. When i first installed BAMF, i installed the first or second radio in the radio thread. I had reboots since day one. Then i tried the 3rd radio which i think is old cdma version/new lte version, i still got reboots but not as many. i then went to GB, but went back to Froyo on the news that came out. When i went back, to Froyo, i installed the 4th radio in the thread, which i believe is old cdma version/old lte version. i have not had any reboots since i have gone back. so my recommendation would be to go with the fourth radio.
So still a little confused. If I download 1.7 from rom manager it will flash the radio for me as part of the flash rom step or I need to flash the radio first then install the rom with rom manager?
Also a little help with themes too (see above )

Radios are flashed separately through HBoot, not through recovery. The radios are also not part of the Das Bamf rom. However, the stock radio should work with Das Bamf. There's a separate radio thread here that has some combinations. Do not flash the Gingerbread radio until you read more about the subject. I'm using the second radio listed in that thread, the .7 CDMA radio with the .6 LTE radio(No reboots since I switch to that combo). The instructions for flashing a radio can be found here.
As for Das Bamf, I would recommend downloading it from the thread and loading it manually through recovery instead of going through ROM Manager. Although I've used ROM Manager successfully in the past, many people have had various problems with using it to flash ROMs.

Nothing scientific about it, I just saw someone else say that they stopped getting the random reboots after switching to that particular combo.(The theory was that they were related to the .7 LTE radio) I decided to give it a shot, and I haven't had a random reboot since switching a few weeks ago. I'd say go with that combo until you have a reason to switch to something else due to either problems or newer versions being released.
Thx for the help! If I have a problem which one is the Stock radio. I ask because my og Droid had a touch screen issue and I had to un root it. Will all the extra steps in these time and rooting procedures it is confusing. If I use the auto un root will it reinstall the stock OS and radio along with un rooting and s-on

I've had no problems on BAMF stripped 1.1 and 1.7 on both the release and newest radios.
Tried to flash BAMF 2.0.5
Flashed the first radio in the list of radio's booted back into froyo and it worked fine, flashed BAMF 2.0 Beta 5 and got alot of HTC force close. One was sync and I'm assuming another was the software that activates the phone. After getting to a WIFI, I signed into google and got to the dialer and tried *228 and it told me that I needed to install a sim card. Sim Card was installed! I freaked out and restored a recovery of the stock rom rooted and have no problem getting a signal.
1.) What did I do wrong, do I just need to install one of the other radio's?
2.) When I recover, did it also revert back to the radio that was installed when I did the backup (stock)?
I am a first time HTC flasher!! )) I had a OG that I ran Bugless Beast and many others on, a droid x that ran the gingerbread leak. Maybe I should just be happy to be rooted and on Froyo but I couldn't stay away from Gingerbread after having it on the Droid X. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Das BAMF 2.0 Beta #5 REQUIRES a Gingerbread radio, not a Froyo radio.
The banf 2.0 needs a gingerbread radio. The radio currently is causing bricks. Go back to froyo!

Excellent post. I flashed to 1.7 today through Recovery as well and haven't had any issues yet. I used Recovery for previous ROM updates also with no problems. I have not tried to flash through ROM Manager, since Recovery has worked well.
I had earlier flashed the radio, so I'm not running the stock radio. I'm running the first radio in the thread (I had 3G/4G handoff issues with the old version of the LTE radio).
Just do a nandroid backup first to be on the safe side.

I am wanting to go back to 1.6.3 until a few more bugs are worked out on GB. I'm not sure which radio to download or how to tell which version I need LTE/CDMA, etc...
I keep getting random reboot's on BAMF 2.0.5 and the camera is very buggy. I checked out the manditory radio thread and I'm not sure which one I need. Please help so I can use my phone again.
Use tthe one that you can download in the bamf 1.6.3 thread........its in the first post.......
Oh yeah, Duh.... I forgot about that one i was looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027804 and couldn't find anything about it, so thanks.
One more Q. Is there a certain order to make this work? I know with GB you have to flash rom first then pull battery and boot into Hboot for it to work. Can I do the same or do I need to flash the radio first then ROM?
Not sure about the order, but basically you can flash any of the Froyo (2.2) radios when using DasBAMF 1.6.3
I would honestly try downgrading to the 1.63 rom and seeing if the 4G stops working before flashing any of the radios. The gingerbread radio should work with 1.63.

I'm actually pretty sure it will not (haven't tested myself though).
Here is the radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081
The first one listed is the newest (2.2) one, which is also linked to in the DasBAMF 1.6.3 thread. Some folks have better luck with the other ones...
Any of the radios listed on this page should work with 1.6.3. If it were me, I'd probably get the ROM and radio saved to my SD card, flash the radio, reboot, then install the 1.6.3 ROM.
GB radios will not work with 2.2 roms, and the order doesn't matter for flashing back

Just need a question answered. Rooted then went with dasbam prev 4 and the Mr2 radio. Was having problems with Bluetooth and accessing SD card so went back to the stock Rom from root. Now I need to now which radio to flash back from Mr2 since it does not work with stock rooted Rom?
Thanks
Ttpcom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081
i would go with one of the ones in this thread for froyo myself.
if your already on the mr2 radio i would just flash a rom that has the latest software base (1.66 something i think). if you want to stick with stock theres still plenty of stock or basic de bloat roms that are using that base. i would recommend the perfect storm. it looks fairly stock but has some nice features.
Mr2 has been a major update for me. Radio is much better and gps lock is damn near instant.

I have recently rooted my Thunderbolt and have been contemplating using a GB rom. I have a quick question first though...when I backup my current rom before installing the new radio and flashing a GB rom will the backup have the radio included? Meaning if I revert back to the backup will it be necessary to install the old radio back or will the backup handle that?
Thanks guys. I love all the work you developers do. Your work is what makes Android the best phone os out there.

Thanks. One follow up..this may be a stupid question but I've read that the mr2 radio doesn't work on froyo roms so how will it work on a stock phone when it comes out BC the phone will still be on froyo?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
mr2 will work with the mr2 based froyo, that which is is released with and any roms based off of that. it does not work with current mr1 froyo.

So I may be totally out of the loop or just getting old. I am running a rooted froyo and want to bump it to Gingerbread. The new release seems exciting... but I can't find any guides to go from froyo to GB... Can anyone help me out or is it a lot simpler than I think... I know I have to flash the radio maybe and then the Rom?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Since you didn't say which froyo you were coming from and some radios work on both froyo and gb download a gb radio and flash that in hboot first. Now download newest "rooted" version in general section, flash in recovery after a full wipe of data, cache, davlik since so much is updated.

very simple process, read the sections on flashing ROMs and radios, then it should take all of 20 minutes to actually do
note: if flashing the stock S-on, that's called and RUU, read the appropriate section of the guide and CHECK MD5 SUMS!!!
Yup will do thanks! I'm running 1.8.6 das bamf right now... I think its about time to upgrade this weekend

Please bear with me, I'll readily admit that I'm a newb when it comes to flashing ROMs, etc. I rooted my TB with the all-in-one tool and loaded the ICS BAMF Leak. I presume this was essentially an RUU, since I didn't flash any separate radios or anything.
I'm looking for a different ICS ROM to flash, mostly due to the poor memory management on this build.
My question is this, and mainly for clarification- If I wipe/format everything except the SD card, I will have to FIRST flash the ROM, then flash the radio to get data working?
It was only a ROM, and radios don't come with roms but the ones you had when you rooted work with the leak.
To flash a new rom just do the same thing you did for the leak, i have never flashed a radio (except for testing the tool) in a year of having this phone.

Well, that's interesting. I installed the NuSense rom based off the ICS leak, and had to install the leaked radios to get data back.
either way, i got the rom flashed and the radio flashed and working.
Thanks for the rooting tool, BTW

That is because santod modified the ril to work better with the leak radios. I get data just fine with the .19 radios.
