I am on stock vraum7 and wondered if it were ok/possible to update to the latest radios?
I'm thinking it would be good to stay on vraum7 incase someone figures out a way to unlock bootloader on this build...and it would be nice to upgrade radios.
Thx

Yes, you can. I am in the same boat.... on stock ME7, locked bootloader, praying nightly someone will find an exploit to unlock it, but I did upgrade to the MJ7 radios using ODIN.
check out this thread:

You flashed the .zip for me7 (the top link, not non-hlos) in download mode using oden, selecting the phone option (default settings)?
Just making sure
Thank you

Anyone? Having dropped calls in this area and would like to update radios. Thanks

Just flash the non-hlos zip in either side of safestrap. I'm on me7 and mj7 radio. Works perfect for me.
Didn't have to touch Odin.

I don't use Safestrap either. (I have debloated my phone with Titanium Backup removing all Verizon and Samsung bloat).
Download the MJ7 "Modem Only" zip file in the OP of the thread I posted earlier. Unzip the file and extract the "modem.bin" file.
then follow post #5 in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927568
really very simple. I'm on ME7 stock with MJ7 modems
Which modems do I flash (ME7 Build)?
And how does Odin work?

Hello, I followed the guide here and had to download the Alternate Restore because my phone had the VRALL4 OTA update and I had to unlock the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
When I downloaded the L4 OTA stock Firmware, it was a .xz and Odin does not recognize that as a valid file when clicking on the PDA. I tried older stock firmware, but that does not work. Can someone please help me? I have to send my device to Verizon today to get it fixed. Thank you for your time
You need to use 7 zip to extract the alternate restore first

New l9 (p769) user, I realized there's no point in having cwm if your on a locked bootloader ( can't unlock bootloader one bit, on v20D) and I'm just wondering if anyone had the stock recovery so I can flash the official ota? And no matter what I can't get fastboot to work which I understand has to do with bootloader. Thanks!

Cwm is very useful even if bootloader is locked. Why do you need stock recovery for? Just update ota? And fastboot works with lock bootloaders. If you have an issue just ask me.

It doesn't let me flash the ota? I've been trying and all it does is pretend to flash about halfway and reboots..

Can I flash the v20f cwm backups that I saw stickied? Wipe and flash?

Well I'd rather just apply the ota as it is without having to do that since lack of laptop at the moment, is there a way I can get the stock recovery and push it via terminal?
Again thanks for the help!

you don't need to flash anything, just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40871273&postcount=62
So backing up and installing the 20D backup provided will get me the stock recovery?...confused cause the link you posted was talking about removing cwm, nothing about applying the 20f update. I'm on v20d right now...

Okay, here we go:
1. CWM works with v20D or v20F. If you want to do OTA then you need to follow the link, that Lelus gave you, to the instructions to delete cwm from your phone.
2. If you want to flash the v20F rooted CWM backup that is on the sticky then all you have to do is download it to your sd card then get into cwm and flash the zip file.
3. I would suggest you get cwm working and backup your current ROM before you do anything just in case you run into trouble you can do the "etch-a-sketch" start over by reloading (flashing) your backup.
Good Luck!!!
Ok I deleted all remnants of cwm, renamed the file, and tried to apply the update, still no dice. Can I just restore one of the stock 20f roms stickied using cwm?

You should flash only the file version. Of the software you started on before rooting/roming etc

You may want to root or use airplane mode after you odin. A mdk will bring a few more dollars than the update you are about to get.
