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!

Thanks for the quick reply, I must have downloaded the wrong one, I used the link for the radio from the Das BAMF 2.0 Thread. Thanks for the help, I'll try again.

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'm still using radios from an early ics leak. Was wondering if most roms include the latest kernel and radios or if I had to manually flash those separately.
I also already went through the soff process and was planning on flashing a new rom soon
Thanks
You must flash radios on your own. Roms do not include them.

If you're s-on, you need to flash the latest leak to get the latest radios, if you're s-off, there is a thread with the radios in the dev section you can use to update them.
Thanks ^_^ just wanted to make sure before I mess up my phone
Hey guys,
Just had a quick question. I'm not new to the rooting game and have been doing it for a while (g1 fwiw) but just had some questions since the new update came out. I'm s off so flashed the updated radios and packages from captain over in the android development forum. My question though is I don't ever remember having to flash an update like that. Ive flashed radios before but I thought the base came with the roms. Am I wrong? Is this different than usual for a reason or do I just have a bad memory. I might be wording my question weird but yeah, anyone with an idea?
I'm not sure what you mean, you flash the radio/firmware and rom and you're updated.
I guess my question is I thought all of that stuff usually comes packaged in a Rom. Except for the radio I thought the base and all that depended on what Rom you flashed and wasn't fixed.

Radios are stored in a separate partition from the ROM. I don't think I've ever seen a ROM package include one.

Roms are built off of different bases. That hasnt changed.
Flashing a rom will update the base (software version)

Ok thanks that's what I was trying to ask. No sleep makes me incoherent I guess. So Captains zip with everything from the ota was mostly about the radio since New roms will include an updated base and kernel?

Correct, the radios and other firmware bits are on the secured partitions that require a signed ruu in order to install if you are not s-off. The base software installs on the system partition so can be installed with just an unlocked bootloader through a custom recovery like twrp. That is why so many people that are s-on and the 1.15 hboot can't take advantage of the new radios. Their only option at this time would be to take the ota. They can however load the new kernel through fastboot or flash GUI and then install a custom rom that has the updated base.

Alright my phone is S-OFF, and I have been using newt's XXX rom. Yesterday I tried to update to the 4.0 version, and after I flashed and loaded up the rom, it rebooted. It does this about every 10 minutes or so. I have tried reflashing the rom, but have gotten no success. What do I do?
Redundant question but have you wiped properly?

Yes I have. Plus the rom is set to auto wipe when you flash it. I had no problems whatsoever until I tried to update to the newest version. This has me stumped
I would ask Newt if he changed anything significantly which would cause it since a clean flash didn't fix it. You could also try a different kernel in the mean time.
That does sound like kernel panic.. but if your using newts kernel that comes with the Rom it shouldn't be doing that.. I agree with the post above try another kernel. Also I'm assuming your on the latest firmware hboot2.27 and radio2.22? If not nun an ruu and try flashing your Rom again.

Update your firmware to the latest Ruu if you want to run xXx Rom correctly.
Running the incorrect radios week cause this with any rom. My signature should hold a link that'll lead you to an area to get that radio/firmware combo and get your in the right path.

Yeap definitely sounds like firmware. Is it noise activated? Or notifications seem to set it off?

I have been running the Global firmware since it's release with several Roms built for it with no issues. I was wondering if there would be any issues in running older Roms on the Global firmware ie.. Cleanrom?
I wouldn't imagine there would be an issue as long as it's an ICS ROM. GB ROMs would likely give you issues.
Thanks, just wanted to double check there would not be an issue jumping back to play with an old Rom.

There are some differences in mount points between GB and ICS, so you'd likely have issues with your SD card and internal memory if nothing else.
