[Q] Will flashing a new Radio fix Bluetooth & Wifi?

I originally posted this thread in the ROM development forum. However, I was informed that this should have been posted here. My message is below:
Dear All,
Before anyone freaks out on me (easy now, Im an advanced noob) Ive tried searching first (in case theres a thread already out there) but couldnt find anything that answers my question.
Therefore, I ask again, Will flashing a new Radio fix my very weak Bluetooth & Wifi problem? They were working fine before I flashed a custom ROM so I thought maybe it was a Radio related issue.
Thanks for putting up with me guys! Your valuable feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Yaz.
See attachment for my HD2 details.
Probably.
Make a backup and flash a new radio.

[Q] Question on Power Rom v1.1

Hi everyone. May i just start out and say that these forums have been a massive help with tech questions that i needed answering, you guys have huge amount of knowledge. Anyway, sorry for the egg sucking, my question is, has anyone had problems upgrading market place on the Power Rom v1.1. The version which is supplied on this rom is out of date and i need the latest MP so i may gain access to my other accounts.
When i replace MP and then run it it just closes down.
Any help?
Thanks,
David.
You posted in the wrong section. Go to power rom thread and ask the OP to get better answer.
Hi, I tried to post in development section under power rom but I need 10posts b4 I am allowed to post in that section
I believe the "problem" is because Power Rom has removed the market updater apk.
Have you tried downloading and installing the latest market.apk manually?
Thanks for the reply, i downloaded the latest version and it seemed to install correctly but once i tried to open it it FC. i also cleared the cache and data under applications to see if it would update it self without any luck. Seems like this rom has probs i think with market. The reason i wanted to update market was so i could access different accounts which at the moment using the old MP this is not available.
Cheers,
David
All is repaired in new update

help flashed my ray having problems

hi i flashed my xperia ray with the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor i was on gingerbread 2.3.4 before and now i cant get past the cwm recovery screen it just keeps coming up and wont boot into the phone mode , any help wood be appreciated guys on what i have done wrong and hopefully i can rectify it
Can you please tell us in detail the steps you followed and what tools you used?
"I flashed it and it broke" is a bit hard to diagnose
1) I unlocked by bootloader by doing <thing you did>
2) I loaded flashtool and flashed <file X> I found <where'd you get file X>
3) Then I etc etc etc.
Then we can see if you missed a step, or did a step the wrong way around etc.
Cheers,
Tim
sorry lol was in a rush when typing this my bootloader was unlocked with the 2 probe method and wire and loaded the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor into the flashtool and just flashed , i got the file from the forums here i know i prob just done a stupid thing by flashing straight away but could really do with a step by step guide as im a noob at this kind of stuff or directed to a good guide , i also just restored the phone back to stock and its working again thanks to wotan client so i cant try again hopefully getting it right this time
right got it up and running with some messing about i managed to flash the xray kernel first then install the custom rom and works perfect only thing that didnt work was the phone data but will be sorting that out now or if anyone knows or had the same prob give me a hand lol

I got stuck a lot of times but i haven't asked about it... because I researched...
then when I get stuck, I repeat, get stuck again, revert then look for another process
It always pays to be prepared
Yeah yeah, everyone is new when we start modding their phones... but due to the age(relative) of the thread, there were already exchanges of questions and answers.
I bet you haven't heard or seen the help thread
Here's what I do EVERYTIME I do mods on my phone:
research (what files, how to do it, expected results)
research (fallback methods, including what others have done, read the threads/conversations/posts etc...)
yeah they do take a long time (2 weeks to 1 month)... then...
I executed the processes on my own, and boom! they WORKED
It pays to be prepared...
could you please ask you question at the Q&A thread and not open up a new thread every time you stumble upon a problem where your question may or may not be answered already?

Post your problem in the original post. Meanwhile you can try to re-flash the rom (sometimes it works)
also make sure that you make a full wipe before flashing..:thumbup:

[Q] Help rooting and getting CWM

Hey guys it's been a while since my last visit to the Infuse section.
I am trying to get the Infuse fully functional again to give it my nephew as his first phone
I've already fixed the "no sound" issue but the problem I'm having is that most of the links I'm finding here in XDA for rooting, or getting CWM or stock kernel with CWM etc are dead.
Anyone has a working CWM for stock ROM, or root file with the links working? Hopefully there's still some ODIN CWM available somewhere around here.
In the meantime I will keep searching for working links. Thanks mates!
Sorry I just realized I posted this on the wrong section. Please delete this thread.
