I have been scouring the forums to find a detailed set of instructions to flash a gingerbread ROM and radio. There are a lot of part explanations but I cannot find one single post which gives you the step-by-step from start to finish.
It would be nice if there were a simple set of instructions for all gingerbread ROMS on the thunderbolt. However, if there is not, here is what I personally would like to do:
I am running The Perfect Storm v1.4 and Imoseyon's LeanKernel 2.6.0.
I want Gingeritis and Imoseyon's GB LeanKernel.
I am sure that someone has covered this somewhere, but I can't find it. Sorry for the classic noob question. Any help would be appreciated.
First you want to download your rom and kernel to your sdcard (duh )
You also want to find the thread in the Dev section titled "obligatory radio thread" or the thread that has MR2 or MR2.5 radios and download one of those. It should be named PG05IMG.zip, so verify that. Place this file on the root of your sdcard (not in a folder), and then reboot into recovery. Wipe data and cache,as well as Dalvik under advanced. Now that you have wiped, install your rom and your kernel. After this, don't reboot, but pull your battery. Put the battery back in the phone and hold the volume down button. While holding volume down, hold the power button and you should see the HTC bootscreen. If you're still holding both buttons it will take you to the bootloader. From here follow the instructions to flash your radio (this is all you can do if the PG05IMG.zip file is on your sdcard. After the phone does its business it will prompt you to reboot, so be sure to do so. There you go
Make sure to hook your phone to your computer and delete the PG05IMG.zip file when you're done

The only thing I'm shaky on is how to handle renaming the files between flashing the radio and the rom while in recovery.
Also, with regards to backups, I have two questions.
1 - after I use clockwork to do a nandroid backup, do I need to move it from the card. In other words, will flashing effect the nandroid backup such that I should copy it on to my computer.
2 - If I use titanium backup to back up my apps, will I need to do anything before flashing to be able to restore them when I'm in the new rom?

To address the re-naming of files whilst in recovery, you can mount your SD card from clockworkmod recovery by going to mounts and storage > mount USB storage. After you've mounted, just use your Windows/MAC/Linux interface to organize and re-name files.
Regarding your last two questions, no and no. Nandroids, Titanium Backups, SMS+ backups, etc. all save to your SD card in one place or another. So unless you plan on partitioning and/or formatting your SD card before you restore your various backups, then you're fine. However, if you do wipe your SD card at any point, either accidentally or purposely, it is always good to have a copy of it somewhere, so I always like to make sure my SD card is on my computer somewhere with at least one nandroid on it Hope this helps! If you want step-by-steps for going from Froyo to GB, I can help you out with that, just holler.
LAST QUESTIONS (I hope)
After I've flashed the new rom, I've read that you can restore user apps, but not system apps. So the first question is, if reinstall titanium from the APK, will titanium find the backup information that's on the SD card? Second, can you restore the user data as well or will I lose all of that information. If so, can I get it back?
You guys rock. I'm pretty sure this will be a helpful thread for a lot of people like me who need a little reassurance that they won't brick their phone.

Yes, reinstalling titanium backup and using the restore feature is exactly the intended use. Unless you've manually changed the default backup location, it will find it on its own and you can restore both the apps themsevles and the user data (but only if you've backed that up within titanium as well!) However, I don't think titanium backs up sms/mms messages, so you'll have to grab smsbackup+ or a similar application to do that (its free ) Best of luck!

May I also recommend titanium backup pro? Haha I'm not related to the Dev I promise but if you have a lot of apps the pro version saves a lot of time because you don't have to push install for each iindividual app goodluck!

On the subject of pulling battery while in recovery. For me at least, an easier option is to reboot into bootloader using adb. After flashing your Rom and kernel just type adb reboot bootloader in your command prompt, and no battery pulling required.

Actually using TB root (free) you can also batch restore apps rather than individually restore., you just click on menu after clicking on backup/restore, and then select batch and it'll show you all your options.

You can batch in both versions of Titanium, what he was saying is that with premium you can batch restore your apps and not have to click install and ok on each one after they install - it skips that step, which for me was annoying.

I just flashed from VirusRom (froyo) to Das BAMF 2.1 Remix. I have tried both the 2 and 2.5 Radio I found in the forums here and I can never connect to 4g. 3g seems to be fine, but I can never get 4g and I am in a very strong 4g area (normally have full bars). Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

I myself had some issues with radios as well. I'm not sure if you are having the same problems as I was but here is how I fixed it:
1. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (3 times each, just in case...), re-flash your kernel (here's a shameless plug if you don't already have a favorite kernel - Imoseyon's LeanKernel is killer).
2. Once flashed, make sure your radio of choice (MR2 has been very good for me so far) is on your SD root named as PG05IMG.zip (you can rename or copy the radio by mounting the SD card in recovery by selecting mounts & storage -> mount usb and doing your business there), either pull the battery and power up holding the volume button as described above in this thread or use adb (I found using adb more simple). For adb, type "adb reboot bootloader" - once in hboot, select bootloader and your radio will flash. Once done reboot.
See if that helps as it did for me. If it doesn't, there are plenty of other very clever folks with their eyes on this thread who can help you better.
Best of luck...
For some reason I can't install apps anymore. When I download apps from the market it says I don't have enough space(when I know I do) and even when it downloads I get a package error. And when I download a app from the internet it says application cannot be installed.
Reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and see if that helps

Try if you can copy files on your sd - maybe its mounted read only.
Shut down and restart helps on my phone - reboot does not though.

Do as Mike says and if it fails still, clear cache and data for Market and Package Installer. (You can also use a cache cleaner and wipe cache for all apps including Market but non of these apps clean package manager. You'll have to do it manually.)
I've tried several times to install the custom ICS ( [ROM] CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS ), but WiFi is not coming on.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Better yet, I am trying to flash the latest ICS ROM to my thunderbolt that is stable.
Seems most have some sort of reboot problem
So far I have tried all the Liquid Smooth - very nice ROMs but get random reboot
PS
From about phone, I see the following
Mode version: liquid mecha.mr3.100212
Build number: Liquid ICS v1.5MR3-JMOD
Radio: 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r

No problem, hope you enjoy.
There's also a DeSensed version, called UnSense, which you likely saw as well.
See ya around that way.
Yes, I saw it and am trying to learn the differences between these 2 ROMs - so far better battery life stands out
Looks like I will be spending a lot more time there.
By the way, I was looking at your ext4 instructions (re-printed below for clarity - hope you don't mind)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option I chose ext4 instead of ext3
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
I chose ext4 instead of ext3 - could this be the cause of my random reboots using Liquid Smooth ICS ROM?
When I flash your ROM, I will choose to format ext3 - just to be sure (heh heh heh):laugh:

You can't use ext4 file system with nusense or unsense yet because the kernel doesn't support it. The random reboots with twisted ics could be related but I can't be sure since I haven't used it in a while.

I tried the nusense ROM and formatted using ext3
Am still getting WiFi to drop randomly
At times it turns itself off - when it does that I see "out of range'.
Google Market changed to "Google Play", and most of the times that process stops working and prevent me from installing my apps
WiFi turns off and prevent update from Google Play as well - since I have it setup to update over WiFi
Also, am getting lots of process is not responding messages like "process.com.android.phone is not responding"
I get these messages very frequently.
I may go back to using LiquidSmooth ICS8 mr3v1
Are you sure you formatted all the partitions in ext3? The only way I get those messages are when I don't format properly. Also, maybe try clearing cache and data in the phone app and as for the market trying clearing data and cache. It may not hurt to run a fix permissions in the recovery. Does you wifi problem only happen with ics roms?

If you do not format all partitions in ext3 format, you will have issues.
If you are not waiting until after the initial setup to sign into the market, that is likely an issue.
You need to wait until the home screen has set up and the device settles.
Then reboot, wait a minute and then sign into the market.
In my FAQ, you will see, the Market is the Play Store, no difference, just themed.
It has updated since the rom's last update and will do so when you sign in.
It's just an incremental update, but the theme goes away that I included for it an so does the custom icon and "Market" name.
If you do the above and still have issues, clearing the market (Play Store) app data and cache should sort you out.
If you are restoring data from another rom, then that is why you are also having force closes or wifi issues.
You cannot restore wifi data from an AOSP based rom that uses a GB kernel and expect that the same config will work well with the ICS rom and kernel.

I cleared data, davlik factory reset etc
The only thing I did not do was "fix permission"
After installing all my apps, I booted to recovery and did the swipe thing again
Yes, my WiFi issue is only with ICS ROM, specifically this one (during and after setup)
So far the LiquidSmooth ICS 1.5 MR3 is working the best for me.
No WiFi issues at all, but I still do get occasional reboots.
Did you wipe boot and system partitions before flashing the rom?

Yes Sir, I did all that
I really appreciate all your efforts and your replies both to you and to Santod, I really, really do!

A huge Thanks for the great work to all developers, busting their humps to get this done.
I'm back baby
A funny thing happened to me yesterday, and I'm still laughing
Previously, I mentioned that I was tempted to downgrade my radio, but decided to go back to Liquid ICS v1.5MR3V1
So far I was still getting random reboots - way too many for my taste.
After reading numerous posting, I decided to roll back my radio from 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r to 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1.
But, in doing so, I accidentally installed the leaked ICS ROM instead (2.11.605.19).
So I thought I was downgrading my radio, but ended up installing the leaked ROM :laugh:
Incidentally, I also un-rooted my T-bolt - Thanks to the new tool I was able to quickly root it back.
Luckily, I also backed up the previous ROM, and was able to restore it.
All in the sudden, my T-bolt is back - everything is working fine and no more reboots :victory:
To Recap, after downgrading my radio to the leaked radio 1.49, all is well again .
My T-bolt is running so good that I am hesitant to load the latest ROMs.
My choices are the nuSense beta 17.2 or AOSP 4.0.4 ICS [Multi-Source]
Is it a wise decision to upgrade or should I stay put
That updated nusense is amazing but I wouldn't run it with the full leaked radios. I use the combo of the. 19/leaked radios and they work great.

Thank you sir, for your prompt reply!
Sounds like I need to give the NuSenseROM a try, but ....
1) what's so amazing about it, and how does it differ from what I'm currently using (where can I get screenshots)
a) I know its been reworked - but that's over my head (for now)
2) I am not entirely sure what the combo 19/leaked radio is, is it this ".19 cdma and the ICS LTE radio" posted by Santod?
Thanking you in advance.
1) Basically everything works the way it was intended to. Camcorder included. Only drawback is battery is slightly worse than Twisted's build.
A) He rebased the rom using the official Droid Incredible 2 ota which is a better base since the original base was from the leak that sucked balls big time.
2) Yes
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I now have the NuSenseROM installed - so far so good.
No reboots yet and I am still using the 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1 radio
The ROM is nearly flawless, but I wish it had the phone dialer interface, and the people interface of the Liquid Smooth ROM
I love the fact the camcorder works, but I wish it also had the ICS camera (But I can download it).
I am using Go SMS Pro, and this ROM is not linking my accounts pictures there (bummer)
The Liquid Smooth ROM showed my accounts picture on that app.
I am using and synchronizing my Google, Verizon, Facebook, and Voxer accounts
Hello,
I have a stock rooted ROM from viper that has all of the bloatware an sprint apps on it. I've tried removing the apks from ES file browser, android terminal emulator, and titanium backup uninstall. They are removed from the app drawer but then reappear (and sometimes update) whenever I reboot the phone.
How do I prevent this and remove them permanently?
Also, on an unrelated note, I'm using the OMJ mod pack and hot reboot doesn't work. It reboots to lock screen and then turns off completely. Has anyone found a fix for that too?

This has to do with not being able to make system changes while S-ON after the JellyBean update.
Urgh, I can't post outside links yet. Google this article to read more:
"Bootloader in Jelly Bean update causes huge headaches for rooted, S-ON HTC EVO 4G LTE owners" at Pocketables
A few options:
You could install MeanBean which has a fix to allow S-ON users to make system changes so that your uninstalls will persist.
Or you could check out App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE, which you can use to freeze apps. I used this before MeanBean had the system changes fix and I didn't have any problems with the changes reverting. Titanium Backup has the option too, but the freeze option is only in the pay version.
Another option that I do personally due to this issue is remove all associated apk and odex files in the zip of the app you don't want in the Rom before transferring it to your sdcard and flashing... Takes a few minutes but ensures the app isn't installed upon bootup...just another option in case its a Rom that doesn't have meanrom's s-on workaround....

This worked perfectly! I deleted the apks while it was still zipped in Winrar and reflashed.
Best option: just get s-off.
Yes it may sound scary, but you will never want to go back to s-on again.
No more flashing kernels before a new Rom, none of that.
Just go to the dirty racun thread and go from there.

hey guys i am having some serious issues with the phone app (core process) & contacts app crashing all the time on the new .402 firmware...
this happens irrespective of kernel
even tried wiping appslog, cache, dalvik-cache still no luck
any ideas would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to sit re-installing everything
did you update to .402 and if yes how?
could you provide details flashed, ota, data wipe blah blah etc etc
since the app is broken a way to fix (not sure if this works on an odexed rom) but obtain the apk that is misbehaving (a working one from a stock rom)
delete the apk (from system)and odex,reboot and settle for a bit make a flashable zip of the apk and flash (copying doed not work when the device is running)
misc:
you can use android tuner or apps alike to remake the odex for the app you replaced
the method above definatly works on a deodexed rom, ive probably gone through it thousands of times by this point, par due to my poor coding
the data for that individual app may be gone but i think thats due to what ever they did after 4.1 to the app data management

updated to .402 the usual way... flash everything except userdata partition in FlashTool...
i never use OTA only FTF... appslog wiped, cache wiped, dalvik-cache wiped...
i am on pure stock ROM...
any more thoughts?
Did you try to wipe data for phone, contacts... etc.?
If yes, time to wipe contacts/phone storage and resync those information using exchange etc.

If yes, time to wipe contacts/phone storage and resync those information using exchange etc.

Hi DooMLoRD,
Did you restore/backup your contacts/messages with titanium-backup cause the contacts seems to crash cause the sqlite-db is locked.
I would try to clear the app-data/cache from contacts-storage and try again. (settings->apps->all->clear data/cache)
Or did you use any other apps wich are using the information from the contacts app.
I hope this solves it.

I suggest backing up your data
Clear app data and if it doesnt work then flash a deodexed rom
The app should work and if it breaks again you can simply reflash the individual app after deleting from your system
If it still doesnt work then flash a FTF
And if it still doesnt work then it could be the usual app bug that causes an app to FC for no reason, in which case you will have to data wipe and a posible rom reflash
I found this was a common issue when making app mods for my self or even a varient FFL kernel or even a base rom

Phonebook crashes
Hi there,
I have a Z1C with last firmware, no root, no xposed, just the out-of-the-box phone and I have the same issue.
Phone crashes over phone and phone book apps. I also tried to re-install firmware through Sony tool (the official one in PC companion) and after a while once again.
I'm not sure but it started after I set up the custom sorting in the app drawer.
Z1c shows up crash windows with those processes:
com.android.phone
phonebook
android.process.acore
