Hello,
I have a rooted htc magic with radio 6.35/ spl 1,76
My phone's GPS was working perfectly with official senseUI rom (android 1.5)
Yesterday I installed serpei's 2.1 android and then I wiped out the data and install marsdroid (android 1.6).
Then I return back to the official (1.5) as it feels more stable but GPS stopped functioning correctly. I also try to hard reset and rebooting the device with GPS on but again no luck.
Please help!
Did u wipe everything? Because if u didn't wipe ext and dalvick there may be your problem. Or get the new 2.21.... radio if you know what your doing. Last resort though

I entered recovery mode and select wipe.Then I started the rom installation.
How can I wipe ext and dalvick?
When You back from 2.1 to 1.5/1.6 You must reflash radio/spl to have functioning gps

Yes... and then flash rom which You want
here is a hint. I'm sure you flashed the wrong radio ;p if you dont flash a radio compatible with your country phone edition it wont work at all and will remain off.
Try confirm wich Radio version is compatible with your HTC. Whats your phone edition/model and where was it made?
You not only have the wrong radio... But if you dont have all 6 options to wipe, you are running a very outdated recovery.
Check top stikies of this forum to flash the new 1.6.2
So I have radio 6.35.10.18 and spl 1.76.2007 (eng)
It's a 32A phone

Without having any intentrion of personal confrontation you people should actually read, what someone writes before hypothetizing or saying you' re sure about this or that. The problem with this kind of behaviour is that you'll propose solutions without actually knowing the facts. This may lead to troubles for the owner.
He had the official HTC ROM (everything worked fine) and then he flashed 2 custom ROMs (Sanpei's and Marsdroid's) without changing radio or SPL. So you would expect that when flashing the original ROM, everything would work fine.
You don't have to wipe all 6 options. What is the point of wiping the external partition, if you don't have one. FYI he has the latest 1.6.2 Hero recovery ROM (it's the Hero one because he has the new radio 6.35.xx.xx).

Hello I'll try explain why i say the radio. Each rom has compabilities issues to certain radio. For example, the radio 6.35.10.xx is compatible for canada ROM therefor GPS will work, but if he uses a 6.35.08.xx GPS wont work. But if he uses a ROM based on European ROM it'll work.
I Passed throw this i know what i'm talking about. Unless he has a malfunction onthe phone, he has for sure the wrong ROM. Doesnt matter if before worked on another ROM. Matters where that ROM edition is from (Base rom), that is important for the ROM Funcionalities, the radio edition of that rom zone will be resposible for GPS+PHone functionalities over GSM CDMA HSDPA ... etc
I understand he might not have changed ROM, but he should try change radio since as rule, the radio he is using wont work on European ROM. (Its a fact i've "tested" =P)
About wiping theory, the only wiping you have to do is to Dalvik Cache; SD ext* (only if you have); Factory Reset. (The rest are options you dont need to do that, but if you want to feel safer about it, enter in fastboot mode, and writte fastboot erase system –w (it'll delete everything , user.img system.img userdata.img but this isnt necessary, wipping those 2 is more than enought) and then you can install your rom.
Hope i have helped best regards
Hi,
I have already try "fastboot erase system –w" but again no luck.
How can I wipe the Dalvik Cache?
With radio 6.35.10.18 and spl 1.76.2007 the official senseUI (1.5) was working fine. The problem occur after the downgrade back to 1.5.
that option is only to delete the system but,
i'll try explain wich steps you should have to help you fix, please tell me what is the oficial sense ui version you are using?

alright friend, you've got same edition as i do. YEsterday i had this issue about the radio you only have to flash the radio to the edition i told you. Follow this steps for ROM instalation:

Install the radio wich comes on the zip. You'll see everything will be fine
Post results after you are done remember is the other radio ;P regards
So first I can try to wipe out the Dalvik Cache and run the fastboot erase command.
If this won't solve the problem I will continue with the other solution.

I checked the integrity of the downloaded rom.
I have recovery: 1.6.2g. that screenshot is old
here a screenshot of the error:
The following observations were made by me :

To assist you i need more information such as your radio/spl and what rom it is you are trying to flash.
Since english isnt your native language, guys dont flame the guy plz.
apology for the location on forum
spl: original htc g1
rom: SuperEclair v8.2 (htcmania) and SuperEclair v3.0 (xda-developers)
Ok i would re-download the rom just to be sure no corruption has occured.
Then i would do a phone wipe.
Then i would backup my information on my sdcard and create an ext partition

Are you sure you are downloading it without any corruptions because it sounds like you are downloading bad files left and right??? I just re downloaded and flashed and worked fine...
You need EXT 4 for some reason but that isn't the problem when your flashing your missing files try re downloading in a new browser like Firefox or Opera
Somthing like this happened to me one time after flasing an eclair rom. I couldn't restore nandroid ("error: try running nandroid from adb" blah blah), and if i wiped and flashed it wouldn't get past splash screen. I finally flashed super d OVER an eclair rom, booted up, did sign it, went back to recovery, wiped and reflashed super d, and viola. I think my errors were like his, too.
Edit: HOWEVER! I could reflash the eclair rom and it boot up perfectly. I didn't try a different ROM. So I can't really say if another eclair would have done the same thing.
One more edit: This actually happens to me everytime i flash an eclair rom then try and go back to a donut. that's why i just stay away from them. really like them, just scared one day it wont be fixable.

That's a problem on your end, that rom is flawless and you flashed it wrong

I compared it with ones on xda and it was identical but more noob friendly which I preferred. I dont know what I couldve possibly done wrong.. I followed EVERYTHING step by step. I love everything about this ROM except this one major annoyance.

It was a bad flash or bad download. Try to redownload and check the md5, then simply reflash it making sure to follow instructions and wipe properly
Sorry, but may I ask what an md5 is? And the specific ROM I want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087
doesn't provide instructions, at least that I know of so I followed this guide
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/27/install-custom-rom-at-ciq-removed-short-review-instructions/
Only problem I can think of that I made was flashing the RC 6.75 Stock ROM and then wiping cache partition and flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate right afterwards which is exactly what the guide asked for. Was I suppose to reboot after flashing the stock RC 6.75 ROM before flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate?

You need to flash the base and boot it before flashing an update, like you said.
Before flashing any rom this is a general procedure
wipe data/factory reset 3x
Wipe cache 3x
wipe dalvik cache 3x
format system 3x
flash radio if need be
flash rom
reboot
dont touch phone for at least 10 mins
set up basics
if it has an update
reboot to cwm
wipe cache 3x
wipe dalvik cache 3x
flash update
reboot
Okk. ONE LAST question. The SkyRocket ICS (2.3.5 Gingerbread) ROM I'm using doesn't have or provide a radio file to DL on the page which I linked earlier. Does that imply that this particular ROM doesn't need it? Or am I suppose to find a radio to flash before flashing the ROM and update?
Thanks alot for your help/advice!! Really appreciate it!

In about phone, what does it say for baseband? Kj2 is the 2.3.5 stock radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
If the radio you're using is working and you're flashing from gb to gb, you shouldn't have to worry about the radio. You'll still have the same one. Radios flash separately from roms. I don't think you'll NEED to flash a new radio unless you change to an ICS rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version I727UCKJ2
Kernal version 2.6.35.11+
Build number Sky-ICS RC7.4 Stock
When I purchased my phone and after I rooted it, I was v2.3.5 but after I flashed my first ROM (which is my current ROM) the android version changed to v2.3.6. So if KJ2 is the stock radio for v2.3.5 is there a possibility my problem of not having the att logo and wifi signal on the top of my phone due to not having the correct radio for this ROM? or for v2.3.6 in general? Or is it from what you said earlier, my flashing process was wrong? Or a mixture or not having the correct radio and flashing wrong?

Well, I don't really know whether or not the radio is working. I suppose in my case it is working since I am able to recieve and make calls, text, and go on the web. However, I am unable to see the att logo, wifi/cell signal on the top of my phone. I don't know if this problem has anything to do with the radio though. Sorry for my lack of understanding..
I'm assuming the problem is more my fault in terms of not flashing correctly. I have no idea whether or not I need a separate radio for this ROM.
Sounds like a systemui /frame work problem
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Reflash
Fully boot
Shutdown
Flash update
Wipe dalvik
Reboot.
The signals at the top wouldn't be affected by he radio. You would most likely get them back if you reflashed your from or flashed another. As long as it's a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. And also follow the instructions (usually pretty standard, wipe data factory reset a few times, wipe cache partition, advanced, wipe dalvik cache a few times, go back, mounts and storage, format system a few times. Then install zip from SD card) oh and always backup first and make sure you can restore the backup. But yeah if you can make calls and use internet, your radio should be OK.

Not sure the deal with your cell/wifi signals not showing in your status bar, but, the carrier logo could have been removed in the ROM itself.

What he meant to say was the dark side super wipe script, search the forums for that. Its for the samsung t989 aka hercules but it works on our phones as well
great, thanks to both of you!
I will try to look for differences between flashing this and doing a wipe data/dalvik cache soon
flash radio, then rom, then kernel

wipe data, cache, and dalvik (or use darkside's wipe script), flash radio (in your case, you want a tmobile radio), then rom (which usually contains a kernel), then kernel (of your device, skyrocket).. keep in mind these aren't generic instructions, but they work on the skyrocket and t989 because they can share roms.
i am unsure of when is a good time to boot up and let the rom do its thing, but i MAY have read at some point it is a good idea to boot after you flash the rom (before the kernel) so that it can do some background processes, then flash the proper kernel. i do not know the reasoning for this nor do i really see the point in this. i would just wipe, flash, then boot and wait, then reboot.

hey! I was looking for an answer on what to do also... this helps... Do I need to unlock it with a paid program and then do this... or well this provide an unlock?
Hi XDA
My device before the procedure : HTC Desire S, unbranded, Bootloader locked,
HBoot 2.00.0002, S-ON, ICS stock rom via HTC RUU tool
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com.
After hours of reading and testing "everything" I found here on xda (great stuff!!),
I finally managed to have a running CM10-alpha.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256 / Version 2012-09-17)
As I am new to this flashing stuff, I first tried to follow the flashing guide
on the CM-website. Was not workable because "Revolutionary" can not be used on hboot 2...
So I continued with flashing CWM-recovery and after a wipe (factory/reset/cache/dalvik),
I flashed CM10.zip and gapps.zip.
It went through without any errors, unfortunately, the device did not boot afterwards.
I found this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 (CustomROM with 4EXT-recovery)
It indicates flashing "boot.img" (from the CM10 zip-file) as a last step.
Probably the most important step for this HTC device ?!
The Desire S booted CM10 without any further problems and is running since.
(I did not flash GApps.zip, just downloaded Maps and Youtube.)
I have 3 questions :
1. Is it possible to update to a newer version of 4EXT-recovery without losing
the CM10-installation ?
(e.g. 4EXT-Touch : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745)
2. Is it possible to switch from 4EXT to CWM-recovery without losing
the CM10-installation ? I would like to have CWM because I could then use the ROMManager App.
(e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484753)
3. If I would stick with the current 4EXT-recovery,
do I always have to flash "boot.img" as the last step before booting up the device ?
(e.g. after the next CM10-alpha release)
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Thanks so much !
CM10 is great, so much faster than HTC-stock rom ICS (with Sense 3.6) !!
CU
1) yes
2)yep
3)si
Edit: you only have to flash the boot.img when the kernel changes from cm10 to fallout yes.
Updating cm10 no, if the dev didn't change the kernel.
After a full wipe (in 4ext format everything exept SD-card) you also have to use fastboot. Because that wipes the boot.img
Thanks !
Just to recap, I can flash CWM-recovery and then do a normal bootup (with my existing CM10 installation). No further actions required !?
As the kernel will probably remain at v2.xx with the next CM10-alpha-release of nik111, I only wipe reset/factory/cache/dalvik
and then flash the new cm10.zip.
I do not think that I will format anything. But if I would, I would have to replace boot.img again.

Changing recovery will not touch anything else on your device. But there were some issues reported with CWM on some ROMs.
I think one of them is a lack of /system/lib partition support, which is important if you go from a ROM that has such to a ROM without one (it will end with two conflicting /system/lib directories and the device will not boot.
Also I am not sure that CWM wipes the .android-secure directory on the SDcard which can cause issues if going from AOSP to Sense ROM
For some reason I never changed from cwm to 4ext whilst I owned a ds but I can confirm it does wipe .android-secure on the sd card

I have used it about an year ago so it is definitely improved. But there was an user with Bluetooth issues after flashing my kernel and changing the recovery solved it. Also 4EXT has a lot of minor but very useful settings over CWM. Anyway the OP can try both and stick with the one he likes more
Btw Rom Manager can be used to check for updates and ROM downloads with 4EXT if you choose "manual flash override" from the menu

Nk111 uploaded a screenshot today, that shows kernel v3.0.16
When upgrading cm10 wiping cache & dalvic cache should be enough. If you get any problems, apps fc or something like that, do a full wipe(I use format all partitions except SD card in 4ext, after that don't forget to flash the kernel with fastboot).
Btw wipe and format is the same.
Bug in CM10 Alpha by nk11
Hello XDA,
Sorry if this question is in the wrong thread.
It is regarding the cm10 alpha port by nk111.
I got it working, save one major bug, the speaker does not produce any sound output whatsoever:
This applies to ringtones, alarm tones and music.
The sound is perfectly audible through a pair of earphones.
I followed the steps in the official thread to delete the file /system/lib/hw/audio_policy.msm7x30.so and reboot
but this only aggravates the issue by disabling all audio outputs!!!
I am running clockwork mod v5 with HTC bootlocker unlocked, S-ON.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw the screenshot of kernel version 3, too. And was quite excited
Thanks for the hint with wiping only cache&dalvik.
First I flashed the latest CM10.1 nightly.. Then I read through the threads and everyone was talking about the 3.17 radio offering better data connection.. So I flashed after flashing the CM10.1 nightly and now Im stuck at the CyanogenMod screen! Can any of the many geniuses on here help me out?

The location of the radio in CM is in entirely different area.

Try wipe while in recovery mode and clear Delvik Cache. Restart you phone and see if it stays alright or goes back into a boot loop. If the phone goes back into bootloop,Restart your phone into recovery again and delete all data/cache. Flash recoveryand Flash the right radio.

Making it too complicated and unneeded steps... That radio will mess with cm...all he has to do is grab the correct radio and flash and reboot

I actually wound up wiping the whole system. It seemed like a bad idea at first but I got the correct radio and flashed everything the way it should have been. Sucks that I lost some of my pics but its better than not having a phone.

Wiping system just formats the partition that stores the ROM. I think you mean you formatted the SD. Both were unnecessary.

Wiping Dalvik and cache is actually a good trouble shooting step whenever you get stuck not booting. It wouldn't have solved the problem in this case, but it only takes a couple minutes to try, so it doesn't really hurt to do so, and is not "too complicated" by any means.
You should also wipe Dalvik and cache when flashing just about anything. So even when flashing the correct radio, it should be done.

Which radio did you end up flashing to get it to work? I thought 3.17 was supposed to work with 10.1...

Actually I guess its still on the radio. Idk what it is, I thought a system wipe would clear that out too but idk because now my internet isnt working right. Like I have to connect and disconnect my data like 5 times for it to work. Do you know where I can get a stock radio? If that's the problem.

So will a system wipe clear it? Or is it permanent until I flash a different one?
