I am currently running the latest version of meanbean and am trying to downgrade to a 2.13 base rom, even stock if necessary. I don't care of JellyBean at all and had really good luck running Vipers roms, especially 3.03. However, when I try to flash a 2.13 rom, any of them, my wifi won't turn on at all and am wondering if it has something to do with the firmware since I upgraded to get to JB. I am currently s-off using dirty racun method. Any help on why wifi won' t work for me when I revert back?

You need to wipe system as well this is where most of the rom resides.

Make sure you flash the boot.img (kernel) that belongs to the rom you are flashing.

I'm having the same issue with all the RUU and roms I'm trying. How did you solve it?

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
Hi, I'm fairly new here and I've read that if you flash a GB 2.17 base ROM while on the 2.17 firmware it will make for a better experience. My question is where can I download this and what would be the procedure while flashing ROMs? Can someone please enlighten me because I want to bring out the best in my phone.

Here is the AIO for 2.17 - LINK. You would put this on the root of your sd card, then go into bootloader and let it do it's thing. Will automatically ask you to update.
Then just find the 2.17 ROM you would like to install and flash it.

Does this mess with hboot or bootloader (i.e. upgrade it from 1.4 to 1.5)?
I don't think so. Freeza usually removes HBOOT from his zips. May want to wait for someone else to confirm. Although, if you're already S-OFF you can just download the file in the sticky to go back to 1.4.

Does not mess with bootloader. In the linked post, he does however state that he assumed it was to be used with 1.4.
So I just restore my backup of the stock old base ROM and flash this? Also am I supposed to wipe when flashing the 2.17 ROM of my choice? Sorry for all the questions. Just wanna familiarize myself with this stuff

Don't know what you have as a back up, but I would do a clean install of a 2.17 ROM after you install the 2.17 firmware.

Sorry I have the stock ROM as a backup. Not sure what the base is although I'm sure it's not 2.17. It's whatever is installed after achieving s-off and downgrading. Is it recommended for the battery to be at 100% before flashing a new ROM?

Not necessary for the phone to be 100% charged for flashing. I wouldn't flash with anything lower than 50% though.
Okay so I flashed that zip through the bootloader but I'm still on the 1.13 base. I though that was supposed to upgrade to the 2.17 base

You have to flash a 2.17 ROM. The 1.13 base is ROM, has nothing to do with the firmware that you flashed.
the link has been modified to ONLY flash parts of 2.17, the radio and a few others things i believe BUT it wont make your HBOOT1.5 or change your S-OFF status or hurt you, when u update youll notice only the first few items in the big list off the update, actually get updated.
its exactly what you were asking for and its safe. just make sure u download the file correctly and copy it over correctly. anything wrong with this file can brick your phone since its concerning your bootloader.
Ok I'm either not getting something or I'm totally over thinking this does this have to be flashed before flashing every 2.17 ROM? Do i restore a certain ROM to flash it and then flash another ROM? If someone can detail the flashing process for this I'd greatly appreciate it (including when and what to wipe)

Since you have already flashed the 2.17 firmware, all you need to do is flash a Rom. You do not need to flash the firmware again.
Find any 2.17 or ICS based ROM and flash away. Be sure to read the OP to see what works or not. When I choose a ROM to flash I always read a few of the last pages on the thread to see if any issues are being discussed.
When flashing a new base ROM, it is advised to do a backup. I backup sms,mms,call history, apps, and then do a full wipe prior to flashing. This can help alleviate any potential issues from one ROM to the other.

You don't flash it in recovery at all, you flash it in bootloader by renaming it pg86img.zip, putting it on the root of the sdcard, and let it flash, after that you have the firmware and won't have to worry about it again.

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?

Please bear with me, I'll readily admit that I'm a newb when it comes to flashing ROMs, etc. I rooted my TB with the all-in-one tool and loaded the ICS BAMF Leak. I presume this was essentially an RUU, since I didn't flash any separate radios or anything.
I'm looking for a different ICS ROM to flash, mostly due to the poor memory management on this build.
My question is this, and mainly for clarification- If I wipe/format everything except the SD card, I will have to FIRST flash the ROM, then flash the radio to get data working?
It was only a ROM, and radios don't come with roms but the ones you had when you rooted work with the leak.
To flash a new rom just do the same thing you did for the leak, i have never flashed a radio (except for testing the tool) in a year of having this phone.

Well, that's interesting. I installed the NuSense rom based off the ICS leak, and had to install the leaked radios to get data back.
either way, i got the rom flashed and the radio flashed and working.
Thanks for the rooting tool, BTW

That is because santod modified the ril to work better with the leak radios. I get data just fine with the .19 radios.

I had been running CM10.1(deck's build) on my phone as my daily driver for a while. At some point I was unable to get 4g anymore and wanted to update my PRL (from 25010 to 25012) thus needed to switch to a Sense ROM.
I followed instructions on the MeanBean ROM thread for S-OFF users and upgraded my firmware from 3.15.651.16 to 3.16.651.3 using Captain_Throwback's firmware from here
Now that my PRL and profile are updated, I want to go back to my nandroid backup of the DD CM10.1 ROM and am wondering if I need to downgrade my firmware back to 3.15.651.6 to get the AOSP ROM to work, or if downgrading would brick my phone.
I am S-OFF, hboot 2.09.4444 and did not install the latest tp firwmare.
As long as you did not do the tp firmware then no need to downgrade.
