I would advise avoiding flashing radio if you can, if it goes wrong your Legend WILL be a brick

Baseband unknown after unlock

Hi guys,
I search over this thread, i can't find any usefull information about this. So i start a new thread. sorry if i make a double thread.
I was trying to unlock my T-Mobile vibrant with SGS Unlock, but there was no code found. Then i tried to search in this forum about repairing nv_data.bin, and i followed the tuts written in the thread. At last i found my vibrant unlocked.
My question is, after i reboot the device, i see the baseband is unknown. i have to turn off flight mode everytime i reboot it to make the signal available. i try to wipe data / wipe cache, and the baseband will show up. But it happen again after i reboot the device.
how can i get the baseband back? the baseband is T959UVKB1.
update:
i was on bionix 1.3.1 before, and i was using overstock kernel.
then i updated the kernel to cm7 kernel, because i wanted to reflash the radio i found in this forum (cm7_radio_KB1).
now, my vibrant is in clockworkMod 3.0 and stuck on cyanogen startup logo.. :-D
i can't install any firmware from sd card, it only shows internal drive. when i click on external sd in recovery mode, i can't access it.
this is so confusing.
any help will be appreciated.
thank you.
CWM 3.0 uses edify scripting while 2.x uses amend scripting. That's why you're unable to flash anything in cwm. As far as the unknown baseband after unlocking....I'm somewhat in the same boat. Some rom's I flash will result in an unknown baseband and some won't. This all started after trying cm7. Did you happen to backup your /efs folder before flashing the cm7 kernel?

Help, Please

Dear XDA Developers,
I have an HTC Flyer 3G 32 GB device upgraded to the latest HTC HC version.
We didnt like it and wanted to explore the opportunity to rooting and flashing a custom rom.
I have done the following:
1- Unlocked the bootloader from the HTCDev.com website.
2- Flashed CWM to the device (suprisinglly still S ON).
3- Downloaded Leedroid HC V4.3.0 and flashed it to the device using recovery (still S ON).
4- worked very well. Now I thought of trying out different roms to see what suites me.
5- Downloaded Flyhigh Rom and got to recovery, wiped cache and the partition.
6- Flashed the Flyhigh rom which stated "Installation Aborted".
Now the device does not load anything, it starts with HTC logo in the beginning then it disappears and goes to a black screen.
I need some help to know what to do now, I have tried to fastboot the recovery file again, doesn't work, formatted the SD card using an SD card reader, doesn't work. tried to install from RUU but it says unable to connect with the device.
I really dont know what to do. this Flyer is my wife's daily driver and I need to fix it.
Please help.
Faisal
Wrong section, but ok. Flyhigh is a gingerbread rom, GB and HC use different bootloaders, just flash a honeycomb rom and it should work, if you want to go back to gingerbread, you have to change the bootloader, theres a guide on this forum.
Have to fastboot flash boot.IMG as well because you are not s off

[Q] Installation custom ROM help

Hi guys,
Yesterday I did some research on which custom ROM to install (I need to get my android version from 2.1 to 2.2 or higher). Various topics about custom ROMS are available here but the instructions aren't always as clear for a newbie.
Fyi: I got a HTC Hero.
In another topic I read this:
Wipe
Flash ROM
Don't reboot
Flash kernel
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So firstly I'll make a backup of my contacts and of my contents of the phone, I guess?
How do I flash the current ROM?
Why is not rebooting a pointer? Is it that dangerous?
I have no idea what flashing the kernel is, or how I should do this.
And last, I think I know how to reboot, hopefully.
Furthermore, after downloading the custom ROM I want, I put it on my SD card or something I guess?
Thanks for the help guys!
Little update: downloaded ClockworkMod and tried to instal, but I already got an error. Failed to extract or something like that.
Well install cwm for your device
You can reboot by pulling out your own battery and put it back on
Flashing rom means flashing the whole os
Flashing the kernel means just flashing a part os
Both have similar installation procedures
YA YOU NEED TO COPY THE ZIPS TO SD
BE sure to flash a rom that's meant for your device (important)

[Q] HTC Desire X - need Support

Hello ,
since two days i am trying to install a custom rom on my htc desire x. I repeated every single step several times to make sure everything still is fine.
(unlook, flash boot, flash recovery / tried twmp and cwm, etc..)
The only rom which works for me ist the cM10-2-20138004-unofficial. But with restrictions. WLAN doesn't work, media manager isn't starting. Cant hear the partner when calls are incoming.
I tried mySense, Half_Sense, myOnedx, but after finishing installation the device hangs on startup. I waited hours and minutes but nothing happened.
I tried several RUU´s but can't find the right ones for me, or i got the 155 error message.
There is no OS installed on the device. How can i get the device up an running? I would be really happy if somebody can give me a hint whats going wrong.
Thx in advance
Dont worry all ****s can be fixed.Wha is ur hboot ? Or simply before to try to install custom rom U was with ICS rom or JB ?.You have to use the right recovery.Look what rom you want to flash, if you on ics hboot u cant just flash jb room (Some roms already have this funcion)
Ps:
After flasing the rom go in boothloader and flash boot.img And away do full wipe
What you need to make sure when installing a ROM: Install a suitable kernel. When installing a Sense ROM, install a Sense custom kernel or the stock kernel. Installing CM isn't advisable, because it's not ready for daily use yet. Also, make sure you use the right recovery for right hboot.
Good Morning,
thx for reply. I want to install the myOnedx_RC4.0 FX. I extracted the boot.img from zip. Installed the rom, wiped, reboot and installed the boot.img.
But that failed. Again, the cyanogen start up occurs for hours and hours. The device doesnt start.
Also tried the same wir the mySENSEdx5_RC4
I evem tried to install the nexuskernelv3.img
I am on hboot 1.25.002
Anyone an idea what wrong with my installation?
Thx
Again: Which custom recovery are you using? Please post a link to the thread here, so we can see what you've installed. Also, as first time user, you should check this and this.
Sorry i forgot. I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0 as custom recovery
Ok, strange, as this one works for me without problems. However, try the 2.5.0.0 version for JB and see if it goes without problems then. Also be sure to wipe system, dalvik cache, cache and data partition before installing a new ROM.
Same with version 2.5.0.0. I tried clockworkmod recovery, but as soon as i try to wip i got the error messages:
cant mount cache/recovery
cant open cache/revocery
So how can i get back to a stock rom? I tried the way described in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41327224
, but restore failed.
Any other ideas?
If you want to get back to stock, you need to know your CID first. After that, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815
As you have JB hboot, you need to restore a JB backup. In the thread I linked you to are backups of several CIDs. If yours isn't there, you won't be able to return to stock.
Ok thanks. So it is not in there. I got the cid VODAP102.
Does that mean my device is gone? Or can i even try other workarounds?
Thanks
So i installed odexed rom and this one works fine. Do not know why all the other roms not working to me.
Maybe anyone an idea.
Otherwise thanks for your support.

Your hboot : 1.25.0002
Recovery to flash - JB recovery download from here : http://d-h.st/VjM
fastboot flash recovery command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
For a test ROM to flash, flash this stock ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239511
also make sure to fastboot flash boot boot.img
(boot.img is attached on OP)
Once everything run, it is up to you to try any other ROM and any other boot.img

It's either you flash ROM with wrong recovery type or wrong boot.img type or ROM which is not supported on your hboot.
Simple rules:
1) Recovery must be a recovery for JB.
2) Correct boot.img for correct ROM
ICS ROM that support hboot 1.25.0002
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : ICS boot.img is a must
JB ROM which should run fine on hboot 1.25.0002
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : JB boot.img is a must
ICS ROM that does not support hboot 1.25.002 - you need to manually change the mountpoint in updater-script, then
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : ICS boot.img is a must
Yeah, that was the problem, I see now... Have been blind a bit... The ROMs OP has installed on his phone are all ICS ROMs which need changing of updater-script mountpoints. That's why they won't work. @Lastmenstanding: Try any JB ROM available in Android Development section, should work without problems. The ROMs you tried were ICS ROMs especially written for ICS hboot, that's why they didn't work on your phone.

OP mentioned about installing my ICS ROMs. Both ICS ROMs work on JB hboot without a need to edit the updater-script. My guess is he either use wrong recovery (ICS recovery is wrong) or wrong boot.img (JB boot.img is wrong) as it should be JB Recovery and ICS boot.img

[Q] Cant mount sdcard also automatic restarting problem

hi i have sgh-i777 it has paranoid android 2.3.5 installed in it but it was giving me some issues so i changed it to Illusion-v2.5.alpha-UNOFFICIAL-i777 but now it is starting on its own without me touching it also when im trying to change the rom it is giving me an error message cant mound sdcard please help
Your current rom, Illusion-v2.5.alpha-UNOFFICIAL-i777, as it's name implies sounds rather unstable. If you are unable to flash from your current recovery, I would suggest that you flash back to stock using Odin, then root, install a custom kernel with CWM, and go from there.
