Hey guys, I have been runing 2.17 ROMS for awhile now with my PRI version at 1.24.003. (I think thats an older firmware version) There is a lot of buzz about not doing that and that I should take the OTA and unlock again (im on Hboot 1.5) which is going to be a pain in the ass. Whats the worse that can happen? I haven't really been having problems so far

I updated the radio and firmware when it came out by flashing Freeza All In One Firmware, Radio, and other bits zip. Haven't had a problem. There were some issues of people flashing individual firmware bits and bricking, but Freeza's All in One worked fine.

I don't think hboot 1.5ers can do it that way though.
The most common issues with running old firmware with newer software are wakelocks and random reports/freezes. You are far better off updating your firmware one way or another.
Hmm I'm on PRI Version 1.15_003 with the latest version of MeanRom and Chad's kernel with no issues.

Most of our roms have the ciq removed already....since TrevE made that little discovery a long time ago it "should" be a non issue. See below for the radio info.

^Reaper your info is a little confusing / inaccurate here^
Radio's are flashed from H-boot and are totally not rom related at all. If you're on h-boot 1.4 you just boot into bootloader with the radio on the root of your sd card named "PG86IMG.zip" and flash regardless of your rom. If you have h-boot 1.5 you are SOL and cannot flash radios with out returning to stock and taking an OTA update and re-rooting. Anyways there is a thread stickied in the development section by gu1dry with all of our available radios except the latest which just came out the other day here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101...... Read it carefully and understand it before you flash a radio. The latest radio can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443592 If you get a bad flash, or do it wrong, or your battery dies while you're flashing it, or you flash a gsm radio to a cdma device....YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Any other relevant improvements from that OTA update the other day will be in a future update to the rom you're currently running......I believe this is what reaper24 meant, but it wasn't really worded correctly.

I have never seem a radio cooked into ROM before. I've only seem them packaged for bootloader flashing, or in the old days on the evo 4g, some you could flash with Amon RA recovery. Even then, I still never saw one cooked in a ROM.

No, it was a radio preference. It's what the person above says. If there's a radio in the ROM. It requires a bootloader flash.

What I don't get is why the devs can't just agree en masse which mainver they're going to use, and then everyone uses that version.
Well they shouldn't use one higher than the RUUs we have so we can restore if necessary. I have had to RUU before because I corrupted my cache partition once.
But some devs used the ICS leak mainver and some people were idiots and installed the leak before it was ready and got their mainvers higher than what we have RUUs for.

That's one of the reasons I wait a day or so to flash a new ROM if it just getting released. I always wait to see what the problems are first.
I just check it first and replace the android-info as needed. I am still on the 1.x mainver because I am careful and I was one of the first to flash the ICS leaks

This will be great once you get it running.
I'm curious what the reason is that you want to remain on 1.x when the official update brought the phone to 2.x? I'm on 2.x but running a ROM from 1.x even though they just came out with an update for 2.x because I want to keep the red theme made for it.
Btw... the dsb kernel was installed in recovery, like the AnthraX one is. Flashed a zip in recovery that made the PHzip that flashed as an update. Is this different than that?
I haven't flashed the new radios and stuff.

It isn't that crazy or that dangerous. I have flashed my misc a few times when I was seeing if I could hex edit the CID to HTC__001 instead of VZW__001 which would have allowed HTC dev unlock before we got their blessing.

Yes and no. No, you can just run one of the new ROMs with the patch that is posted. Yes, you should just update and run the RUU because things will be, in general, much smoother for you. Your choice, though.
What are some of the bugs of the new radio?
Bugs? I've got none. It runs incredibly well. And I'm on the Dev edition of CleanROM.
Or just flash an older ics rom. Cleanrom 3 is based off the old leaks, so you don't have to flash leaked firmware.
i asked because usually you do not have to be on a specific radio to run a rom. i don't really like running leaked radios.

S-OFF DEVICES ONLY
I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE, IF YOU HAVE DATA ISSUES FROM SWITCHING FIRMWARES YOU MUST FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FACTORY RESET IN HBOOT
DO NOT S-ON THE ENG OR JB HBOOT OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
ANYTHING DONE AT THIS POINT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOT MINE
So what is this?
Well ill answer that, these are Hboot/Radio/Firmware Combos
What do you do with these?
The purpose of these is avoid performing a full RUU if you would like to upgrade or downgrade firmwares/radios
So why do these include Hboot/radio/firmware files, cant we just flash the radios?
NO, mix and matching all of these has be known to cause data issues. Its best to flash the whole set to prevent data issues
How do you flash these?
Assuming you checked the MD5 sum, just rename these to PH98IMG.zip and place on the root of your external sdcard
New firmware patch huh?
This is simply for those upgrading to ICS firmware on a GB rom Or and ICS rom that had the gingerbread patch flashed over it
Whats the difference between the stock Hboots and the JB/ENG Hboots?
Simply, These Hboots have fastboot commands enabled WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader
I suggest if you use fastboot alot to use these hboots
Thanks to CharliesTheMan i now have a spot on AndroidFileHost
Heres how to tell which file you need
Each file will be named accordingly
[Firmware][Hboot version][JB or Stock hboot][Date of leak if applicable]
So an example would be [GB][2.11][JB]PH98IMG.zip
i suggest you check the MD5 and if you dont know what an MD5 is then you need to research what it is before flashing any of these
Here's the Link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=3054
Thanks to the JuopunutBear Team for getting us S-off, Jcase for the leaked Hboot
Very very nice. Thank you. Flash this and a GB rom, and it's on old firmware.
superchilpil said:
Since i didnt want to run the gingerbread ruu and mess with nandroiding back to get the eng hboot i made this
This is the eng hboot bundled up with the old firmware, you ust use the old firmware patch to run ics roms after flashing this
just place it on the root of your sd card, rename, and reboot to hboot
It will reboot once during the flash this is normal
DISCLAIMER: IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE DOING THIS, YOU MUST BE S-OFF AND AS ALWAYS CHECK THE MD5 SUM

This will only downgrade your firmware. Your rom should be left intact. However you will need to flash the GB firmware patch over your rom immediately after doing this or you will have problems. If you want to downgrade android itself, flash a gb rom after doing this or just flash the whole gb ruu

The firmware patch also fixes an audio lib that causes constant reboots.
I am on stock rooted 2.01 with all original firmware. If I use both of the files is the OP along with one of the ICS roms will everything work correctly? If not what would I need to do? I would prefer to stay on the GB firmware as I have been getting great service, 3g and 4G speeds.

If your stock then you don't need to flash the hboot file unless you just want the eng hboot, you could just use cons for that
This is meant to downgrade those who upgraded their firmware to the new ics leak
But if you just want to run an ics Rom with the old firmware then just flash the patch in recovery and you should be good

I was messing around with the new boot loader on a new phone and managed to unlock and get a recovery, but SU wouldn't flash, then it said it flashed, but still didn't fash, So I went ahead and tried to flash a rom anyway hoping it would work because the rom was rooted, Wrong answer. lol
And the ONE thing I DIDNT do when I got the CWM was MAKE A BACKUP!!! So I screwed up bad.
Now I've bee stuck at splashscreens for 2 days on a 3 day old phone.
Yeah, me too. I need the RUU as well. I am running mean rom right now with the kernel that allows it to work with hboot 1.58. But I would like to be able to go back to stock if necessary.
If you're stuck with 1.58 like me I suggest you install mean rom and flash the kernel in the Mean-Rom folder on your SD card so your wifi and 4G work.
Yeah id like to have the official ICS RUU as well.

This is exactly what Sprint and HTC wanted to accomplish. I would give it time. The devs should have a smooth running ICS / kernel soon. I am betting they will have something for all HBOOTs out there. I am still sitting on my Mean ROM for GB... with 1.4. And I will wait to make the leap to ICS... because I don't feel we should have to leave 1.4
I like having the option of reverting back to stock in case I screw something up lol.
