Coming Back to the Tbolt

Okay so I was on a few different LTE devices for a while (Charge and Revo) , and I am about to be back on a Thunderbolt in a few days.
When I was originally on the Tbolt, it was April, we barely had a Gingerbread Leak and I believe MR2 had been leaking around.
My question to you guys is, what's the best root method currently (ADB, or Revolutionary?) and also....
What radio should I be on when I get the device to be able to enjoy most of the roms out there. I'm hoping to be able to enjoy some Gingerbread.
Sorry for the newbness as I have been a crack flasher with Odin and other Samsung stuff that I completely lost track of Tbolt development.

It's all in my thread linked in my sig. If you have any questions, post them there or PM me and I'll be happy to get you up to speed.

haha, what a coincidence, i just got done reading your entire thread.
So basically its the same as before.. all GB based roms are working on ANY MR2 radio.
Gotcha
What radio do you recommend? at the time when I left the Tbolt, MR2 was causing reboots on people.
Also, is the recovery that revolutionary comes with a decent one in terms of being able to perform backups, etc?

best radio is subjective.
some people for some reason still believe radios from 6 months ago are better than current ones.

The most recent CWM is good, but the early 5.x releases had some issues. Not sure what the newest one is. I'm still on 3.something... cuz it just works.
There's a lot of opinion in radios. Right now I'm using the RUU 1.70 CDMA radio with the RUU 2.11.605.3 LTE radio. Generally there's not a big difference. I'd say the 2.10 and newer radios, including the 1.70 radios, are probably the most popular at the moment.

I seem to get better download speeds with the 802 radio than the 906. Not sure about the lte one yet though. Is there a combined release of the 906 for cdma and lte

The radio could be anyone of the GB radios. Best bet is to take a few for a drive and see what works best for you. I use the 802 with good results. I used Revolutionary and everything was soooooo easy. The recovery in revolutionary is very easy too. The only big question is what ROM to use. I would suggest to try the one that lasts a long time (name omitted because of a spat between this forum and their Devs). I hope you can read beween the lines. And there's a host of AOSP ROM's too. Good luck and let us know what you choose.

Don't worry, I know who you are referring too, i was running their rom when I originally left the Tbolt. I hear they are some bad a mofo's..
I can find their stuff on Rootzwiki
Thanks everyone for all the help. I have one more question, with the OTA that is about to come out. Is that going to be rootable? I'm afraid the phone VZW ships me will already have the update

[Q] Anyone use tasker to work around wifi bugs?

I was wondering if it would be possible to use tasker to flick wifi off and on when wifi drops and/or 3g activates. Lately it seems on my phone that when I go out of wifi range and the 3g/4g connects the last wifi spot is remembered and almost acts like it is still in range causing issues when trying to connect to the next spot. I already installed the 7 day trial but haven't had as much time to research as I thought. Sound possible? Wasting my time?

What ROM are you on? I haven't had any of the problems like you describe since moving to Gingerbread.

Sorry, still stock. I keep thinking about flashing a rom but like others I am hoping for an official release soon with all the updates/leaks. Also this is my first android phone and I don't have total confidence in flashing it. For instance for whatever reason rooting using the "regular" method didn't work and had to use superoneclick. The latest rom thread also seems like a bit of a hodge-podge of things needed to get everything working....no disrespect intended to the individuals working on it.

Superoneclick is the "Regular" method for most people...
Infused 2.x had a few rough patches as he tried to integrate UCKI3/I4 stuff to fix the known issues with the Rogers release, but that has settled down as people have figured out what's broken in I3/I4 and what's not.
Serendipity VII is still stable, Mikey didn't rush to bring in the I3/I4 stuff. If you flash it, you'll have the following issues:
No audio on first call after boot - toggling speaker on/off will fix it (Hellraiser known issue)
No HDMI (won't see this until AT&T releases Gingerbread)
Data speed issues (However the Hellraiser beta9 kernel or my DD kernel may improve this - I am STILL waiting for someone in an area with good speeds to do an A/B comparison between old/new kernels.)
Camera limited to 15 FPS video - but you can flash the UCKI3 camera libs to fix this, there's a separate flashable package with its own thread in the dev section
None of the above bother me significantly (In fact as I live in the boonies and shoot with an SLR, the data speed and camera issues don't bother me at all), so I have been on S7 for a while.
In general you will find that there are VERY few people here running stock Froyo any more.
Good news is that if you screw up, Samsungs are VERY easy to restore to stock. Download mode (aka Odin/Heimdall mode) is awesome.

I guess that is where doubt started setting in about whether I should start flashing the phone or not. Both stickied root threads point to the rage against the cage method and one points to superoneclick being the old method. Thanks for all the info. I wasn't aware off the 30fps fix since I don't frequent the development threads. I honestly haven't had the time to do the necessary research if I get stuck so I have stayed stock.
Back on topic, I did get a chance to look up the some things in tasker and will try it out at work tomorrow since this is where it seems I have the most trouble. I'll post back if it works.

[Q] Serendipity VII Infuse - 3G/H(4G)

Mike1 - Awesome ROM..Thank you.
2 Questions: Why does ROM toogle between 3G/H signal? Stock ROM connect to 4G(H).
Some download from MARKET would come up insufficient memory and fail to down load. Is there a fix? I reboot but still does not resolve.

Might want to flash a different rom. The dev for that one is jumping to a different phone. As you can see the latest version of serendipity is way over a month old. You will get better support from a dev/rom that is still fully supported.

Depending on the area your in, stock or custom, the phone will always toggle between the two. The stock rom just doesn't show it doing so. If you aren't in an area that has 4G, obviously your phone will take advantage of whatever is available.

I agree, but with GB so close, I'm sure we will get a boost in development with new roms to choose from..I wouldn't worry about an outdated rom, for now, S7 is great even if outdated. I mean its not like an Hdmi fix is gonna come till GB anyway lol

S7 Supports
WTF..I was looking forward to new update. Other ROM have alot issues.. Is there a recommenedation out there?

You're not really likely to see anything other than Hellraised I9000/Captivate ROMs until after AT&T Gingerbread drops.
So what if it hasn't been updated since initial release? It was created by Hellraising a highly refined and mature Captivate ROM. There's nowhere it really can go until we get official AT&T Gingerbread. At that point you'll likely be able to get nearly all of the benefits by flashing over another Hellraiser update.
I was originally going to try and do kernel development over UCKJ1 in order to backport some stuff to the Infuse Daily Driver series I've added to the GSII version, but it's looking like I may just return to S7 for that work. So when DD development resumes, S7 will likely be the ROM it's tested against until official AT&T GB hits.

I have run S7 off and on while trying to teach myself about ROM creation/modding, and S7 has always jumped back and forth for me in areas where I am right on the edge of good HSPA+ signal. It's fairly normal and if it's annoying you can always set your your phone to restrict to one network or the other.....but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd just be careful how much data you auto-sync if it switches a LOT as bad signal areas + background data can mean extra battery drain.

I guess since no one technically answered your questions I will.
1. Because S7 is true to what you are connected to, whether umts (3g) or hspa+ (H) and that fluctuates normally where ever you are. Stock ROM always said either H+ (at&t) or 4G (rogers) regardless of whether you were connected to "4G" or 3G.
2. It is a known bug with the new market and has nothing to do with the ROM.
S7 is in no way outdated ....it may be over a month old but that's because it works so damn good...plus Mikey has said he will do one final update when official gingerbread cones out.
Anything you would consider more up to date is using leak stuff from ucki3 or 4....which kinda sucks anyway...

About the only improvement I can think of right now for S7 would be integrating the camera library fixes into the download.
That's it... That and the TCP buffer fixes in the initramfs (which you can get just by flashing a newer kernel) are the only good things that came out of UCKI3/I4.

True....forgot about the camera files as I just pushed them myself...but it would definitely be easier if they were included..
As for the buffer fixes....you said newer kernels have it, does that include bedwa's newest one?

Quick question guys. I have the rogers infuse 4g unlocked and on another carrier that is 4g but never get 4g showing..it's always on 3g. I'm in a 4g zone so I don't know whats up. apn related? or is it because I'm unlocked and with another carrier?
Thanks for the help in advance

Not sure if its me or the ROM
I recently rooted and installed serendipity. Which I love and works great. Its been like a week...love it.
BUT i don't really normally make or receive alot of calls. I did read the part about your first call not having sound, tried the speaker toggle, all is well. While Im making calls. But I cant receive calls. lol
It makes a crazy sound then says "NO SERVICE" for several minutes. But everything else works great!
Now im not actually using AT&T im using H2O
Any help is appreciated

Where to begin

I've rooted my inspire and my nook color and have custom roms on them. I'm used to the android system and how it works. I was just wondering what rom would be suggested for my inspire. I just got the phone secondhand from a friend and I'm not sure what people consider the best rom for the inspire as there are always like 40+ for each system and only 2-3 are good ones.
Thanks for the advice,
Potticus
I was also wondering if there as a way to boost my network signal. My iphone 4 gets full service in my bedroom but hte Inspire gets 1-3 or so. I'm running Android Revolution for the inspire btw.

There is no "Best ROM" its all personal preference. Theres Sense, AOSP, MIUI. Youll just have to try them and see for yourself. To boost your signal you can try flashing new radios+rils

Ok well, I've given Android revolution a shot, not for me. And I'm on Coredroid with the Lee kernal, But that confuses me a bit more. There is five different kernals to chose from?
As far as radios and rils, I've done my reading but that seems to be a total cluster**** as far as hunting down combos and what not. Could you direct me towards a combo that might work in the Southern states (Oklahoma to be exact) Also I've checked the guide and I've got to turn something or other off. I've turned off eng but not the other.
What might be the major differences shortly summarized between AOSP and MIUI and Sense. All I've tried is Sense to this point.

Read op of radio thread in the dev stickies. It will explain radio ril combos. As for a Rom its trial and error. Since the DHD has had more updates almost all of the roms for the inspire are based off of DHD roms. I personally beleive that anything based on an inspire Rom will give a better user experience as far as everything working the way it should. However the dhd roms have a lot more options. Att just did release our sense 3.0 Rom on the 31st so maybe we will see a little more inspire based roms going up. Still though we won't be seeing any sense 3.5 or higher roms based off of anything made specifically for the inspire and American data network. If you can sacrifice the sense interface than I would say hands down aosp is the way to go, but I myself am stuck on sense for now, and I HATE miui. But its all opinion.

I've been reading his thread, but I'm not sure I got the radio installed? I've tried going to bootloader but I can't seem to get it to work through his instructions.
"A. Radio - Download the PD98IMG.zip file. Place this file on the root of your SD card. Reboot to bootloader. When prompted, press the Volume Up button to install. Then reboot."
I'm not sure I'm getting the correct prompt or one at all.
I'm using coredroid until I can get all this figured out right now. (actually I'm going to ice sammich, thanks to the guy that posted it) I grabbed the latest ATT radio+ril combo for the inspire just as a starting point.
The only message i got from bootloader is "parsing the .zip" then it just goes back.

Woah! grabbed a different radio from the one I was trying, and it worked!(HTC-RIL 2.2.0160HM)
Going to install the RIL right now, let's hope we've made progress to better signal. Aswell as the ICS i'm going to load on it.

Usually when it just says parsing and goes back its either a bad download or an issue with the SD card

Only use radio. Don't flash the ril. Ril is included in Rom anyways. Ics is aosp so don't mess with the ril. It will mess things up. Ril is for sense roms.

Ok thanks, I put another copy of it on there and it worked. But the SD card is fine, I use it for nook flashes and whatnot.

I already did... but I'll reflash ICS now that you say that. Good call!
Am I safe to flash a few different radios over the next 2-3 weeks to check the connection without having to change anything else?

Yeah radios are fine to play with as long as you stick to inspire threads. Stay away from ones with rc data unless you know it matches all three radio/ril/rom.

That is the disadvantage to using roms that aren't supposed to run on our phones. Read up about Ics in the forums and see what issues are known and decide if you can live with them or if they can be fixed. There is a ton of information in these forums and pretty much already a thread for every question you could ask. That's why people say you just have to test them and and figure out which ones will work for you. The same goes for all the Rom/radio/ril combos. The radio thread is the best place but there are also many threads on the subject.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

So far, I'm willing to deal with it. Just takes 20 minutes of reentering contacts into my phonebook. The phone number part wasn't an issue, just wondering if that was a problem.
And I just switched to the non RCdata radio at your suggestion.
My battery seems to be 100% better, I've lost 4% in the course of about 2 and a half hours.

FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6] On Inspire 4g

I just saw this http://www.phonearena.com/news/ROM-brings-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-to-HTC-Desire-HD_id33380 from PhoneArena and it looks like this ROM is fully supported for the Inspire 4g. My wife won't let me flash any more ICS roms on her Inspire any more and wants to keep the latest stock debloated GB rom from AT&T since it's stable and fast. I was wondering if anyone had tried this rom or know of a better more stable ICS&Sense rom to try to convince to let me flash on it for her.
Here is the XDA link from PhoneArena http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531218

I would suggest that you read the last half of the posted pages, then make a decision, if you will look on the DHD forums, there are a few Sense 4 ROMS with most things working, all have a few bugs right now. It is just a matter of if you can live with a few quirks and update your phone as they get things fixed.

It's for his wife. It is best not to flash any ICS roms for now. Wait between two to four weeks if you want an ICS sense rom or the JB roms. There will be bugs and she is not going to be happy, they never are.
My assumption is that by then the ICS/Jb roms should have a minimal of bugs.
In the meantime read through the threads and check what you would like. I doubt she will show any interest for now.

Thank you, I have been reading the dev threads in the Inspire section and havn't seen many that are as stable as the one I saw on phone arena, I didn't know that the desire HD roms would work on the inspire 4g thought the Inspire had updated hardware on it, there seems to be a lot more ICS sense roms on the desire HD thread I wonder if they all work and how stable they are on the Inspire 4g. It would be easier if my wife would let me flash them to try them out but the 1st ICS rom I flashed had alot of things broken and were buggy and she got mad at me. Any info on a good stable ICS sense rom for inspire 4g would be great thanks again.
PS if the desire hd ICS sense roms work on the Inspire 4g why aren't they posted in Inspire threads?

Separate devices, separate threads. Every now and then they do post a rom in both threads.
Regarding the Roms over the dhd thread and compatibility - most of them come with the required files for them to work on the Inspire, or they would link what else needs to be flashed in the OP (Original Post - First Page), as some also do over here in the Inspire section. However, there is one rom that was released today (can't remember the name of it) which the sound (I believe it was the sound) won't work on the inspire. The menu button doesn't work on either of the devices, the inspire and dhd.
Regarding blackout, can't remember what the bugs were/are, but if you are not familiar with flashing I would stay clear from that one for a while. It needs to be flashed a certain way, quite easy - simply it consists of doing the full wipe within the aroma installer, when it finishes choose "no" when it prompts you to reboot - do a manual reboot and should work. And do not download from dev host.
The latest release from randomblame - B14, has sound issues. A previous version may work but I can't recall what bugs the other ones have. Same issue goes for - I believe it's B4 of the AOPK version.
There is one with wifi issues. Can't remember which one.
Those are the ones I remember from the top of my head and I haven't flashed any of those in a while. I just read silently, waiting for the bug reports to lessen.
I've been using several versions of the latest official Sense 3.0 release for our phone (which you can find in this thread) since it came out. I haven't tested any ICS/JB rom for a while. However, I did flash Existz BR6 today, and for the way I use my phone - it works without any issues. I link my google contacts, do the facebook sync to show with my phone contacts, whatsapp and the xda app and wifi, that's it. I received a call, it sounded good. It's fast, responsive, haven't been able to check battery life - but it's bound to be good. I did run BR5Test2 for a week or two, and for me to keep a rom that long it has to be either bug less or with a minimum of bugs. And that is, working out of the box since I still haven't learned how to play around with a rom to fix this or that.
Hope this helps.
P.S. I had the same issues with my girlfriend, and other members with their women. They will never be happy.
Edit: existz mentioned a bug regarding the keyboard keys sticking/lagging every now and then. I haven't experienced it yet, but the easiest fix - paraphrasing existz, is to lock and unlock the screen.
Just read the first couple and last 10-20 pages to have an idea about a rom.
Most of the bugs mentioned may and probably be ironed out with the next release.

Separate devices, separate threads. Every now and then they do post a rom in both threads.
Regarding the Roms over the dhd thread and compatibility - most of them come with the required files for them to work on the Inspire, or they would link what else needs to be flashed in the OP (Original Post - First Page), as some also do over here in the Inspire section. However, there is one rom that was released today (can't remember the name of it) which the sound (I believe it was the sound) won't work on the inspire. The menu button doesn't work on either of the devices, the inspire and dhd.
Regarding blackout, can't remember what the bugs were/are, but if you are not familiar with flashing I would stay clear from that one for a while. It needs to be flashed a certain way, quite easy - simply it consists of doing the full wipe within the aroma installer, when it finishes choose "no" when it prompts you to reboot - do a manual reboot and should work. And do not download from dev host.
The latest release from randomblame - B14, has sound issues. A previous version may work but I can't recall what bugs the other ones have. Same issue goes for - I believe it's B4 of the AOPK version.
There is one with wifi issues. Can't remember which one.

I've been running Existz ICS ROM pretty much since it's inception (the Inspire is a secondary device for me) and it's done nothing but get better. I want to try the new Sense 3.0 roms, and the ICS/Sense roms once they are more stable, but I just can't let go of stock ICS.
I've experienced the keyboard bug, and it's annoying, but everything you type does appear even if you experience the bug.

ICS does have a few issues, but I'd like to point out that I'm using blackout and I haven't encountered any bugs yet :good:
I forget if bluetooth (after disabling it would cause phone problems or something) was fixed or not, same with wifi hotspot (after turning on wifi hotspot you would have to reboot to use normal wifi), but I don't use either so I haven't noticed it
Aroma installer seems to be causing some issues, you'll have to mess around with some settings to get everything to work well. A bad flash will have no boot image, just a black screen. A good flash will get you Blackout's boot image.
But otherwise it feels very snappy and fast, everything runs well and I'd say that it's pretty much the same stability of most sense 3.5/GB ROMs. Actually, I think it's a little smoother than Energy.
Following that XxxPachaxxX's Nero XL(3.6) has the second least amount of bugs (although with a big gap between Blackout), and a bit farther away is Virtuous a3 (4.0A). There are two more ROMs out (last I checked) that are just completely incompatible for I4g, but from comments seems to be just as stable as Blackout :/
Although I think in a month's time Sense and ICS will be just as stable as Sense and GB.

I've been using Blackout ROM with ICS and Sense 3.6 and it runs really great. I will keep it until a stable ICS with Sense 4.0 comes out there. I've seen a couple of them, but I normally read they have issues with camera/hotspot/etc. I had a non-sense ICS ROM but I really missed sense.

don't give up on ICS, go IceCold

Thank you, I have been reading the dev threads in the Inspire section and havn't seen many that are as stable as the one I saw on phone arena, I didn't know that the desire HD roms would work on the inspire 4g thought the Inspire had updated hardware on it, there seems to be a lot more ICS sense roms on the desire HD thread I wonder if they all work and how stable they are on the Inspire 4g. It would be easier if my wife would let me flash them to try them out but the 1st ICS rom I flashed had alot of things broken and were buggy and she got mad at me. Any info on a good stable ICS sense rom for inspire 4g would be great thanks again.
PS if the desire hd ICS sense roms work on the Inspire 4g why aren't they posted in Inspire threads?

I've been running Lord ClockaN's AOKP Ice Cold Sandwich 8.5 for a few weeks now and everything works great. FB Sync, 8MP Camera, Wifi, tethering, Bluetooth. The ONLY issue is that the camcorder only records up to 480p. If you just set it on 480p before you give it to her, she'll probably never change it.

I tryed giving her AOSPX ICS from existz and she wanted sense and since it was an early release there were quite a few bugs and I was in trouble :crying: but thanks for the input again any other suggestions would be great really looking for stable ICS or JB with Sense 3.6 or 4.0 I read this on the portal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826903 so maybe soon I can give it to her once the devs get that kernal working for their roms

This also looks promising http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004 ICS and sense 4a lite

I can confirm that this works amazingly! Smooth, no graphical glitches, Video records at full resolution. It's awesome!

Meh...
I've tried the Blackout ROM, so far everything is fine except for the WiFi, it's been very flaky on my phone. It's constantly telling me that the wireless network in my home is out of range, when I'm 10 feet from the router. Rather annoying... but it works other than that.

I am new to the forum. Can I be pointed to forum where I can get the instructions to install ICS on my Inspire 4G please? I couldn't find anything which gives step by step instructions. Thanks.

I flashed "Melchizedek - AOSP ICS" on my inspire and its been real stable, the battery life seems to be good as well.

Yes I've read good things about that ROM but alas it is AOSP without sense and not what we are looking for now if a port of Sense 3.6,4a,or 4.0 were put on there that would be what we need

I'm going to try later tonight, but wanted to ask just to avoid any obvious problems. When I flash Blackout will I need to flash any type of Inspire MOD like for existz's ICS AOSP build? Any other tips or tricks I should know about before I take the plunge?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure since she still won't let me flash on her phone waiting til ICS sense roms a lil more stable I would PM andrews317 since he has been using for a lil bit now

When you flash blackout the aroma installer already has the inspire mods in it so you don't have to worry about the mod pack
