After trying out several ROMs my GPS now fails to lock at all, I have tried every fix and about every rom. It seems I need to do a complete reset to my phone is as it was out of the box. Factory reset only takes me back to the default settings for my current ROM, how do I completely reset my phone? I have S-OFF and ENG-OFF, should I turn those back on?
I really don't want to do this, but my GPS seems to be fubar right now so I don't see any other option.

Did you put the file in the root of the external SD card?
Yes I did, it quickly displays a message along the lines of "wrong file detected", thats not exactly what it said but it was something like that.

Download the hack kit: http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/ace-hack-kit-v9.tar.gz
Use the PD98IMG.zip file thats in the Radio folder in the hack kit and then:
3. Place the PD98IMG.zip radio file on the root of your SD card.
4. Power the phone off, remove and reinsert the battery.
5. Hold the volume button down and press power on.
6. The phone will boot into Hboot then Bootloader, It should see the PD98IMG.zip and ask if you want to apply the zip.
7. Use the volume up button to select "yes"
8. Once its done flashing, reboot the phone and you should have flashed the radio.
I did all that, It ran the update, but the GPS does not act any different. It won't lock and it doesn't see any satellites.

Install GPS test from market and see if it picks up and satellites.
It shows 2 satellites, but it seems to be periodically losing them. They show up for a while and then it will flash 0 and go back to 2. I am still not able to get a lock.
Would it be worth trying a different radio? I honestly don't know much/anything about what the differences are, but I am really tired of not having GPS and I am willing to try about anything.

On the coredroid page it recommends to flash a different radio, should I do that? If I do it wouldn't really determine whether the ROM or the radio is the problem, but I assume they recommend that radio for a reason.

Sure, but you will understand it better if you read it your self. Basically flashing a radio can do a few things, one being to enable HSUPA, this can also be accomplished just by flashing certain roms. Also it helps with WIFI, calling(signal, speed etc) problems in some cases. This is all going to depend on which rom you have, the area, the cell provider(i'm assuming your all on ATT like me) and also it varies. I ran the "telus" radio for a long time with RC mix, but with the latest builds of the rom started having problems with the call not connecting when i pressed "call" and failing. I have since switched to the Cyanogen mod rom and am on the latest radio which is listed in my sig. This has improved call quality, battery life(from the rom and radio as a combo), and also call reliability(no dropped calls, calls failing etc) Hope that helps you guys
Is there away to go back to the stock radio if something goes wrong?
If you don't have problems with the stock radio then just stick with it. There's more risk than reward when flashing radio.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah I have to agree. If you mess up somehow while flashing the radio, your phone will become a paper weight. If its not giving you problems, then no need to flash the radio.

Flashing the radio does not enable HSUPA on the Inspire 4G. From what I know, the Captivate requires to flash a different radio to enable HSUPA.
Editing the build.prop enables HSUPA.

I flashed my radio to (baseband version):
12.41.60.19U_26.06.04.14_M
I'm having severe issues with my connection.
I have 0 bars on some locations, where as an iPhone, or a non-smartphone, has 3+, or full bars at the same location.
Is this the radio issue, or is this the physical antenna of the phone being bad?
what rom you have?
I use that radio with saga and I get great reception. With stock I was getting -90 to -100 at home. I get - 70 now.

Did you flash the corresponding ril?
I use that radio and got an average of 6 db better signal than I did with the stocker in south Florida USA.. I also use a gingerbread Rom. Btw never use bars to determine signal strength, its subjective at best. Go to menu,about phone,network to see signal strength.
I recommend reading the radio thread in the sticky under development. It's a great thread. Good luck to you.

I didn't want to change the radio firmware because its the firmware that came with the inspire 26.06.04.06_M. I updated RIL and afterwards the GPS gets a very solid lock fast 9 points. I now get 5 bars, I was getting 3 and the calls are more clear.
Please see this link here. I booted to recovery mounted /system and then ran the zip file update. Rebooted twice (I know what is the deal with the twice factor?) And, everything works great now.
I figure that updating to newer drivers is a lot safer than updating the radio firmware and I was correct.

1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Full nandroid back up
3. Select flash from SD card - select radio
4. Should get a notification to reboot to apply the radio flash

6. Mount "/system"
7. Select flash from SD card - select RIL

This has a .zip you download that will include 3 files. The new Radio, already in a bootloader ready PD98IMG.zip file, a file called id10ts_ATT_Custom_ROM_Speed_Booster.zip (which is actually just the new RILs and the Prop Editor app (which can be removed) which is CWM flashable, the 3rd file (telephony.db) will not be needed for this process
Put these 2 files on your SD, boot to bootloader and install radio. Boot to Recovery and flash RIL. Done
On a side note - I have not been able to get GPS to lock for the life of me on the last 3 or 4 ROM/Radio combinations I've had installed. I've tried every single fix on these forums and nothing seemed to work. I was most recently running Android Revolution 5.1.3 (Gingerbread ROM) with the recommended GB radio. I flashed this new ATT radio, flashed the RIL, flashed the radio again, flashed the RIL again, and I appear to have GPS back. Finally.
I've seen devs mention to flash a radio from Hboot and Fast boot before. Are these terms synonymous? Fast boot is accessed from Hboot correct? I've flashed a radio a few times, but never understood the terminology. A PD98IMG is always flashed the same way from what I understand.
More or less correct. HBoot flashing is done with the PD98IMG.zip on the SDcard. PD98IMG.zip can contain any number of images to be flashed. Fastboot flashing is done using the fastboot.exe and can flash a single image.

I've tried several times, and several methods to flash my radio to the 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio img. And nothing seems to be working. My best guess is its user error. I'm a noob and trying to learn how to flash my radio. I currently have the 12.39.30.19P-26.06.04_M with the TPGB-Ninja_0618 ROM and [email protected] #28 kernel.
I've done the method where i go into adb to access bootloader, then i flash the radio.img then reboot the phone and that doesnt work. I've tried running the radio.img though CWM and that didn't work.
If I power off my phone and then hold power and -vol down to get into the bootloader it automatically will go into hboot and start to run through the PD98IMG.zip. I'm wondering.
Do I need that .zip folder on my sdcard forever or can I get rid of it?
Also, can I just switch out radio.img in the PD98IMG.zip with the new radio.img?
Can I do the above question without having all the other .img 's in the .zip folder?
I've done some research, but haven't found my answers, or was able to fix my problem.
So hopefully someone can help me.
Please be gentle with me, I'm new to this type of thing, but a fast learner.

Assuming the PD98IMG.zip containing the radio flashes properly, you can remove it afterwards.
Have you checked out the inspire only radio thread in the dev section, yet?
There's already a ready-to-flash PD98IMG.zip for the radio you want to flash on that thread.
Download it from that thread, verify the MD5 checksum, plop it in the root directory of your SD card, reboot into hboot/bootloader, once it finds the PD98IMG.zip, confirm the update, and away you go.
Ok I'll try that as soon as I get to my computer. Thanks for the reply and I'll let you know how it goes.

Couple of things. 1) Be sure to give the radio long enough to "warm up"...I'ave had it take several hours after flashing before I started getting decent speeds from a radio I know works. 2) It is usually recommended to keep a copy of your radio flash on your SD card in case you need it (GPS fail, etc., ) so you can reflash if you are away from a PC, but not keep it in the root of your SD. It's very possible to end up in a continuous boot loop until you somehow either get the file off your root (SD card reader) or fool the phone into thinking it isn't there by pulling the SD card when you pull the battery to recover (I've only heard the last trick works)...

You've also made sure you have the appropriate RIL for the new radio you flashed, correct? That radio thread also has the RILs + info about them, as well.
Also try rebooting more than once after flashing a radio/ril, just for good measure.
When I first flashed the 04_11_M2 radio, I had only rebooted once, as a result of the flashing process. Once my phone was done loading up, I received my first call with it, the caller couldn't hear me, but I could hear them. Caller tried calling back. Same thing. I decided to give it another flash and reboot. I called that person back, and it was working, never experienced that since.
Coincidence? Who knows? But radios are weird, quirky things that seem to need a little "voodoo" type flashing/rebooting to kick them in, I suspect.
Well I think I found out why I'm getting these speeds. My radio has a "P" and not a "U" like in meiguoguizi's sig. I have the same radio as that (number wise) but he has a "U" and not a "P".
The radios that I can flash have an "x" in that place so won't that just mean it will switch to whatever letter my data is running on?
I think I found out why I am having this problem.
I can flash the radio.
I can flash the RIL.
But I have a "P" where the "U" is supposed to be to represent the HSUPA speeds.
If thats the the reason then I don't know.

I think that U/P thing is determined by one of the settings in the build.prop file. I know it's been discussed before, I just don't recall the details. If you visit the "editing the build.prop file" thread in the dev section, or possibly amongst the comments in the inspire radio thread, I think you might find the specifics in one of those places.
Or browse through henrybravo's posts, I think I remember him explaining it to someone.
Bottom line is that you have the same radio, it's just a setting that's determining the connection type and as a result, that letter changes, depending on that setting.

Yes the x is a placeholder (remember your algebra).
Open he's right. You have to flash the Riley that goes with the radio and then reboot twice. Make sure you are using the best radio for your Rome.

Yes the x is a placeholder (remember your algebra).
Open he's right. You have to flash the Riley that goes with the radio and then reboot twice. Make sure you are using the best radio for your Rome.

Rileys and Romes....I can dig it
this has gotton significantly worse....is there any fix to this? Im currently stock. Does rooting fix? plz help
This is due to the radio on your phone, it's really bad in up here in Canada from what I have read, if you root your phone and use KB3 it will quit doing that, at lease it has stopped on both of my phones, seems it only happens in bad service areas.
What search button bug?
I got my Nexus from Canada and had the same problem.
Like the other dude said, rooting and flashing a ROM is the only way around it. You won't have any problems after that.

Can't disable that button, the radio is fairly safe to flash on this phone. I do it lots, best thing to do is download the radio, and get the md5 hash and if that matches you're golden.

Oh ya, when you root you don't have to change from your stock rom.

[RADIO/GUIDE] Radio JK1, KB1, KB2, KB3, KD1 and UCKD1
You want to get kb3 that one seems to fix it. You will flash it with clockwork after you root.

Edit, link didn't work out from the app.
ok so just to be very clear, first i root the phone (no new rom). Then i just put the zip file onto the root of the sd card, and go into fast boot or whatever its called, select from sd and flash it? is it as simple as that?

You will unlock it with adb, install clockwork mod, then su to root it, then yes, just put the radio on your sdcard and flash it through clockwork mod. Make sure you know the model of your phone to, it's under battery.
This is the md5 hash I get for the KB3 radio under the "Radio for I9020a/I9020T/I9023" heading.

Just to double check if your paranoid, download the Radio and a md5 checker and if your numbers match mine your good.

Read the stickies.
Quick primer:
After you get root, you can replace the recovery partition of your phone with clockworkmod. That's the "flash recovery" part. This gives you a pre-boot working environment that lets you flash ZIP files (ROMs, kernels, boot animations, radio images, etc), make backups, wipe data, etc. Using clockwork recovery you can flash a new radio firmware which apparently fixes the problem.

Clockwork Mod is the recovery you will install when you go to root your device, the numbers is the md5 hash, when you download a file you can check the md5 to see if it is corrupt in any way.
umm ok i rooted via one click root mechanism....how do i apply zip from sd card now? i dl'd rom manager and flashed clockwork mod. Now what
Shut down your phone, hold up volume and press and hold power button until you see a screen with your phone info, then use volume key to select recovery and hit power button to select it. You should be in clock work then, go to install zip from sd card

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but rooting and/or flashing a radio will not solve this issue.
What you are describing is a known issue and it is a hardware defect. The touch buttons sometimes incorrectly register a long-press and execute long-press behavior. It affects different buttons on different phones. On phones where the search button is affected, you see long-press behavior of voice search opening. On my phone, back button is affected, so I see long-press of back button behavior. It seems to stop after ten seconds. And sometimes home button is affected, and I see the "recent apps" screen appear.

Maybe you should do some more reading. The radio will fix it.
Hence my two fixed button freaking phones.
