Help installing Cyanogen Mod 7 (comming from bamf 1.7remix) - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are the basic things I need to do?
Flash a new radio?
Factory reset?
I know I need to flash gapps after I install the mod.
Which download do I choose from the CM7 page? 2.3.4? or is that the update and I need to download the first link then update it with 2.3.4?
Thanks for the help!

cm7 is based on the froyo radio so you don't need a new radio.
Download the latest gapps and cm7 rom.
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
flash the cm7 rom, once finished flashing the rom, flash gapps, do not reboot into the system, stay in clockwork.
Once finished flashing both, reboot system now.
finished.

No, Cyanogen mod wont work with new radio. Wipe cache/date, dalvik cache and install CM7.

im not getting any service signal...
is it possible that I have the incorrect radio?
I did install a leaked version of the radio update a while back
does anyone have the radio i should be using?
thanks

Go to the radio thread in the dev section and use the first one with a baseband that ends in .0223r
The leaked radio will NOT work

THANKS! Got it working! Its real nice!
Few problems, weather and weather widgets aren't working
No bars light up (still have service)
Also, how do I get my contacts back, I normally just use backup assistant
Should i install the .apk and run it?

What is the latest version of streakmod?

I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1003525
Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.
Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
I suppose you meant StreakDroid! The current latest version is 1.9.0, but 1.9.1 is currently in beta testing and should be out any day now.
You can flash directly to a newer ROM without losing your data. I always make sure I do a factory reset before updating, but that's just me!

Att radio for cm7

In your opinion do I need to flash the radio.zip after cm7. If so wat does it do for my device? Do I get better service/ faster data speeds?
Thanks, tHe NoOb

I think the radio that you have currently should work well enough.
I had the 1.97.00 radio and found that cwm was giving me a 1 bar issue. Same thing with aosp. And input so I installed the 1.77.30 radio via cwm. Wish I had a cwm version of the 1.97.00 radio just to try while im at work. Seems the 1.77.30 radio switches from H to 3g less in my area than the. 97 radio.
ok, it seems as if my service is pretty good compared to what yours was before you flashed it. ill keep it for now. thanks for the replies
Please help Radio flash
I want to flash the radio to my unlocked and cwm installed atrix 4g. I used to have 2.3.4, 4.5.91 ATT stock software, but went to cyanogenmod 7.
What radio do I need to flash in cwm? There is a radio.zip file on briefmobiles website, I just want to make sure I am downloading the correct one.
I want to flash because it is taking a while to get a gps lock in CM7, where in the stock rom it would happen almost instantly.

Not 100% sure but gps lock on isnt slow because of radio but couz of CM7 i got stock radio and its also slower then on GB. also CM7 doesnt install radio if im not mistaken if u had GB radio u should still have it
what cm says
code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ CM7 is saying if you are having slow locks to reinstall the radio. I'm just wondering how I can accomplish this through cwm.

what to do to revert to the original Telus rom ?

Since I'm rooted and flashed Faux kernel, I have connection problems (wireless & 4G), is very slow. Today I had an infinite bootloop, I removed the battery to solve the problem. I also had problems with update SU ... I went on the market for the SU fixer. For that, it's ok...but is there anyone who can tell me what to do to return to the original version of Telus? no more for me.

You will also need to flash stock kernel back, I'll let you find that in the dev section...i'll give you a hint its by xboarder and its called kernel flasher by xboarder.
Thank's for the answers ... I flashed the kernel again and now everything works normally. A question about the superuser, I have a message telling me that it's obsolete, yet I installed the fix from market, always the same message, you have an idea?

Did you flash the stock rom back???? you should not have superuser if you flashed the stock rom back. you should always wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, wipe factory settings from recovery before installing a rom.

absolutely not, just rooted (xboarder56 utility) & flash the kernel.
For SU, I currently have version 2.3.2.-efgh ... he told me There's a new version 3.0.3.2, it downloads but when installing, it says error

then you should flash the stock rom back.
hasoon in post number 3 told you what to do. Why are you not flashing stock rom back????
Because now everything is working as I want and I have the stock rom, right? First, I wanted it to be root with a custom recovery while keeping the rom that was already in phone. Eventually, I download another rom.

Personally I wipe everything and just make sure I have anything important backed up, so my recommendation is a full wipe before the flash than to restore whatever you had lost . . . Apps via titanium, sms via go sms or sms backup and restore, and contacts via google or another app.
Hope that helps.
Or...
As the change log for 1.2 says: no need to wipe for update

Gapps trouble!

Hey guys,
I (was) on jokers CM9 (before recent update). I backed up and then attempted to install the new version... So here's the problem, I can't install Gapps PERIOD. It failed for jokers CM9, as well as MIUI v4. I'm not new to installing ROMs, I know I did all the wipes properly etc and fixed permissions just in case. I have tried the last 3 releases of Gapps as well. The ROM is good, boots fine and all (MIUI and CM9) but no Gapps in any situation. The only time I've been able to get it to stick is using the Options Chooser MIUI Installer, worked great. Ive downloaded the files mutiple times with no problems... no idea what I could be missing! Anyone else had this problem/fix?
did you update your CWM recovery to 6.0.x.x? That's what i did before flashing jokers CM10 alpha build and it wouldn't let me install GAPPS either. I just reverted back to an earlier version and it worked fine.

Yes! I actually did right before I started flashing the new stuff... thanks!
Still having trouble ... downgraded back to 5.x. (joker v3). Now it seems like data/cache arent wiping. When trying to flash clean, after doing all wipes I still end up with the same install.

I use photon3 recovery. Works great. Be sure to flash twice if gapps don't show up. If still nothing then you must have a bad download of gapps.
If this works let me know.
