1. A ROM is the firmware, or Operating Sytem, of your phone. It's a package that contains the OS, drivers, programs and other odds and clods that make your phone work!
2. A baseband is a special package (kind of like a ROM) that controls the radios in your phone (cellular radio [phone part], bluetooth, WiFi etc.)
3. A build number is the version of the Operating System you are installing. Every manufacturer uses different naming systems for their builds, but usually the higher the letters/numbers, the newer the build. A new build will often contain a new baseband, and a new kernel. If you're lucky, you can sometimes even get a new OS version (as you did)!
Hope this helps!

pudding no root?
ok guys/girls I have been looking on here for a week and a half now but I flashed pudding and im unlocked as well but no root access obviously something i am not doing right. I thought pudding would give root but maybe not? I also have tried booting in recov. but then I can't find anything in there that says root or whatever.
I have the superuser app. dosent work as well as tita. says not rooted? It also says that a newer version is released and that it was put on my sd card but can't find it?
Any help is welcome or just point me to the right thread.
No dummie responses as they are a waste of your intellectual ability when you could have just used that energy to respond with help.

[Q] No 3G connectivity after custom rom (only edge)

Hey there folks!
this is my fisrt post on the forum so here goes.
I've got my first android phone a couple of weeks ago and since then I did the S-OFF and rooted it. I read the boards here, i maneged to get new roms on it without any problems and I am very happy with the performance of the phone now.
The only thing is that I can not get 3G data connectivity only EDGE.
I live in a place that always has 3G and it seems a little odd.
If anyone has encoutered this problem please let me know if and how to resolve it.
Thanks.
Phone: HTC Desire S S-OFF
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Kernel: 2.6.35.13-Tiamat_Saga-v1.0.4+
ROM: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-IncS

Have you tried with another ROM? ZuluGen or the inofficial nighthly? These are not ports from Inc S, but made directly from Cyanogen source.
I think it's worth to give it a try... Just don't forget to do a NAND backup before flashing a new ROM! (This can directly be done in ROM Manager when choosing the ROM to flash. )
I assume you know how to use Titanium Backup to port all your settings and apps to the new ROM. If not, no worries... it's fairly simple and actually self-explanatory!
If help is needed, feel free to ask here!

[Q] Dropping phone calls

Hi All,
I have and inspire 4g with stock rom on it. The issue is that when someone calls me, they hear my phone ringing but I dont hear any ringtone so missed that call even though I have about one or two bars on my H network status.
Now i would like to flash a new rom which can fix this issue and also give me HTC sense 3.0 . Can anybody suggest a sollution to the problem or a rom which can give me these.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I had this problem a lot when I first got the phone. I tried a lot of different things before I finally just accepted it as network issues. But at the same time, recently I have not been dropping as many calls or seemingly missing calls, so it's possible it has to do with the setup I'm currently running which is as following:
ROM - Virtuous Unity v1.29
Kernel - Unity v3
Radio - 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M
RIL - 2.2.0153HM

Thank you for the reply.
I would like to get a similar setup on my inspire. I am pretty new to this scence. So do you have links on how I can get these loads on my phone. Will fashing Virtuous Unity give me the radio and RIL or are there different individual methods for it? Also, do you still have htc sense 3.0 with this config?

yes unity is sense 3. yes a new rom will change your ril. no it will not change your radio. visit the hack kit thread to get u started. and mudknot has a good forum for beginners it's stickied in the general section. good luck

ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122778 (this is a link to v1.31. There are links to mirrors for 1.29 towards the end of the thread, or just use 1.31)
Kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130350 (that's to v4 of the kernel, I'm sure v3 is linked somewhere in the thread, or just use v4)
Radio/RIL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
All threads have very good instructions on what needs to be done to install these things. Yes Virtuous Unity is a Sense 3.0 ROM.
If you haven't already, you'll need to start here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352) and Root/Unlock/S-Off the phone, then flash the ROM, then flash the Kernel, then flash the Radio, then flash the RIL (order of last 3 doesn't really matter).

Thank you for the links. Will try this today and let you know how it went. Also can I backup these stock rom and radio/RIL etc before I do this. I know you can backup the existing rom when i am on a custom rom, but is it possible with the stock rom? Same for the radio?
Thanks
John

No way that I'm aware of. However this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) is a tool that's developed/being developed to return you to bone stock, unrooted (ROM, Radio, RIL, S-On. don't know if it reverses SIM unlock and SuperCID). This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224) is the stock RUU - it will leave you S-off but flash stock, unrooted ROM, Radio, and RIL

HELP!!?? No WiFi after flashing Kernel

Hello,
i just wanted to flash the Unity V9 kernel on my desire S.
I got an error during flashing "status 7" and i think its because my desire s is on android 2.3.3 and the Unity V9 only supprts android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5.
I just restarted my desire s und realized that my wifi does not work. In the wifi settings it sais "error" and i cant activate it...everything else works fine just the wifi not... I dont want to flash any other rom und want stay stock...
So please help me !!
What can i do to get my wifi working ?
Thx

Check your kernel version in the settings and download the same kernel from here and reflash with the same procedure

Thx for the fast respons...
i found the right kernel nuber but the build number ist not listet there...my build number is 1.47.111.3 and there are only different build numbers...which one can i take? the 1.48.707.1 or the 1.36.481 ?
Thx Man !!

Isn't this a T-Mobile branded ROM?
Btw which version of the recovery do you have and have you made a Nandroid backup before flashing?

Yeah it's a T-Mobile branded rom... Is there also a diffrence betwene the kernels?
Can't i use any of these roms u recommended to me?
I have done a backup with the rom manager from my current rom before flashing.
but i have restored it yet and the error is still there ?
i have CWM recovery 5.0.2.0
So which kernel do i need to install?

As you say your build number is of the stock one so your kernel was not overwritten during the unsuccessful flash.
Have you tried to delete the remembered network and add it again?

The problem is not by the rememered networks... I can't even activate my WiFi !!! Thats the problem. When try to activate it, it sais "error"...so i can't activate it
What can i do now?
There has to be a kernel i can use or am i wrong?
Thx for ur help

htc-kernel-2.6.35.10-g2ee27f5-build-1.48.707.1.zip

Nice Big THX i will try now !!!

THX for ur help!!! WiFi works fine now

No problem. I am glad that you sorted this out and I am sorry if my guidance on your other thread was misleading. I totally forgot that 2.3.3 is still the latest Android version on the Stock ROMs and the Unity kernel is updated for custom ROMs now.
I am afraid that it will be hard to find a kernel for 2.3.3, since most of the Custom ROMs are on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 already. But maybe somebody else will provide some information or a download link if you still want to try.
Anyway, happy to know that your phone is good again

Thnx +1 But how do i know if my rom does support a new baseband or not ?
my rom is CM7-20121209-NIGHTLY-P999

I think cm7 started supporting the new baseband by default in it's later builds. Maybe grab the last nightly from their website and see if that works.
