Really? honestly man, READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!!!! If you just "managed" to get into recovery, I don't think you should be flashing a new ROM, not to mention a new radio. Please please please please do your research before you brick your phone.
ARHD thread gives you everything you need to know on how to flash their rom. There are numerous threads out there that document how to flash a radio and a ROM.
1. Download ROM
2. download ARHD superwipe
3. place ROM and superwipe on sd card
4. make a back-up using rom manager
5. reboot into recovery
6. data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (found in the wipe section)
7. flash super wipe (you do this by choosing the option install from SD card,will take a minute or two and reboot you into recovery)
8. flash ARHD (same as super wipe directions)
9. reboot
10. Enjoy.
If you even ask me to be more specific, I'll blow up your computer. All of this information could have been found by searching and reading. Get it together before you destroy your phone. I wouldn't even recommend radio flashing until you do the proper research...THERE IS A THREAD IN THE DEV SECTION FOR RADIOS, that you clearly skipped over when you found ARHD thread.

You really don't need to mod edit with the radio at all. Just install AR and forget about the radio; if you ran the ace hack kit, the radio you have is the best one there is period.

will try that my radio is 12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_m the arhd says in there download post thart use a 12.62blabla radio what should i do about thatits my first time flashing i dont want to brick
i also read the radio post but i dont want to flash a radio but its kinda written that it will give you a better perfomance etc

Thanks guys iam able to flash and iam using the rom now

Since your a noob here and because I was rather a jerk the first time around, I'll play nice..in short all RILS have a matching radio and it is recommended that you flash the proper RIL for the radio you're using. Since your a noob, it is important to note that when you flash a new ROM, the radio does not change just the RIL. Which brings us to the reason ARHD is recommending the 4.19 radio is because the RIL for that radio is included in their ROM. I have read that you don't have to flash matching RILs to your radio but I always do just for good measure. It has been stated that flashing the matching RIL for the radio you're using can lead to better performance,signal and battery life, etc. The RIL for 4.03 radio I believe is in the radio thread. Simply download the RIL file and flash in recovery, remember if you do flash a new RIL..ALWAYS MOUNT SYSTEM before you flash the RIL, which is found in the mount option in recovery

As already stated. Please know what you are doing before you so it. Would you load a custom OS to your PC without reading up on it first? Most likely not. Flashing a device is not for people that are tooo busy, tired, distracted or just lazy to read up on what they are doing. This can and has left people very upset with a non returnable brick due to not reading.
Also this is a development forum not a support forum. You are expected to at least try and fix your own issues by researching before opening a new thread.

[Q] GPS Connectivity Issues

I had installed CM7 on my phone, but didn't work right, so i flashed back stock rom (tweaked w/o bloats)...everything is great...but still the GPS is giving me issues. If the issue is RADIO related, can someone just tell me which radio is the real At&t stock radio? There are a few of them out there and i am not sure now which one is the TRUE radio....also if there is any other tweaks you guys think i should do, please elaborate as i am about to throw my phone to the nearest lake LOL.
Thanks.

Either post in the CM7 thread or in the general section. This doesn't belong in the dev section. Also look for the thread AngelDeath wrote, it will help with gps issues.

Yup - I followed step 1 and 2 (flash radio and RIL) twice, and my GPS is back. Hasn't worked for the last 3 or 4 ROM/Radio combos I've had. I've tried every GPS "fix" on these forums. But flashing ATT's latest Radio/RIL (from your thread) restored GPS functionality for me.
please show me exactly where i need to find this fix...went to your link and didn't find anything. Thanks for your help
Regarding the posting in the wrong section, i didn't see this CM7 section....and since i Don't have CM7 it doesn't apply.... i am back at stock. Thanks for your concern though

Questions on root/flashing ROMs on HTC sensation

Hi guys. I'm hoping my post hasn't broken any forum rules... but anyway, i am very new to android, and i'm still trying to read up on/learn about rooting a phone + flashing a ROM to it. I have a few questions that i'm hoping some experienced people could answer for me =]
1. Does my HTC sensation need to have a certain update before i can try archieve S-Off? (I'm on the Three network [UK] and my software number is 1.34.771.1)
2. How easy is it to brick a device? Im good with computers, and can follow instructions, but seeing as i have no past experience with android, i'm anxious to try flash new ROMs to my phone without insurance - as £500 for a new device would kill me... =P
3. When flashing a new custom ROM to my phone, what kind of 'wipe' do i need to perform? I've read a few articles, all of which say to perform different wipes.
4. I dont understand ' Radio Flashing' could someone kindly explain that to me please?
5. What exactly does CWM backup? =P
I hope i'm not wasting anyones time here, i have read through the articles for noobs, just need some clarification =]
Thanks for everyones time.

1. As long as you are on Android 2.3.3 there shouldnt be a problem. 2.3.4 donesnt have a S=off just yet, i think
2. Bricking is actually very hard to do, if u follow instructions you should be good
3. all you need to wip is the system data, cache, and i reccomend wiping the battery status too
4. Radio flashing is chaning your radio number. this is actually a very easy process. Dont worry about this, all you do is put a zip on ur sd card, and the phone does the rest.
5. ClockWork Mod backs up quite literally everytrhing. Think "Macrium Reflect" for a PC. Or a "Ghost Backup" for a PC.
6. I just added this. don worry about wasting peoples time. We are here to help each other like a community. Let me know if u have any other questions.
I am following this thread, and when u reply i will answer you again. So feel free to ask any more questions.
If you feel like ur ready to root just go to the Development forum and see the 1st sticky thread. Or if u ask i will send u a few links on how to root.

Thank you very much =] Think i'll give rooting a go within the next week... just want to make my sensation that much faster and improve the battery life!
If you don't mind me asking;
What exactly is a Radio number for?
I am on android 2.3.3 , just my software number seemed different to other peoples phones =P
So if i use this 'Clockwork Mod' to backup everything, once the new ROM has installed, will everything just be the same (apart from the changes on the ROM obv) such as app placements on homescreens etc. Or will i have to put everything back?
Also, say android releases 2.3.5 , im assuming i would just flash an updated ROM over the top of an older 2.3.4 ROM when it is released?
I've read through the 1st sticky a few times already, just to familiarise myself with certain words/actions =]
Finally, what is hboot =]
Thanks again for your time!

Clockwork Mod is just a recovery program to allow you to install new ROMs to your device, but most importantly, to let you backup and restore your current device configuration (like a sort of time machine). Most developers recommend Clockwork Mod (CWM) because it is so good at what it does. If anything fails, and you need to use your phone in a pinch, just revert to a CWM backup, and all's well!
So, to answer your question, unfortunately, no. One of the only ways to do that is with Titanium Backup, a program from the Android Market.
CWM is for reverting to previous incarnations of your phone's software and firmware.
Sorry I only answered one question, but it was the only one I knew how to in an effective manner.
Sorry, I can answer another!

A radio is the way that your device communicates with your mobile networking. (wifi, 3G/4G, etc) Different Radio versions (numbers) work better for different people. Most developers will release a matched radio with their ROMs, which is usually what works best for them. Depending on your area, different radios may work better for you. Ultimately concerning radios, Your Mileage WILL vary. it's one of the other big trial and error pieces to flashing custom ROMs.

Radio Number/Version is the version of ur radio. This is signal related.
So when updates come out they typically update the
radio and make the signal strength better.
This is something to be careful with, when changing ROMs
make sure that the some you are about to change into
supports ur radio version.
When u use ClockWork Mod to backup it will backup your current settings. So if u backup it consists of your rom , apps, settings, etc. so if u restore that then everything would be like the old one. So Yes, u would have the set everything back on the homescreen. Its ok, u will get used to that.
When they release android 2.3.5 you might have to "wipe" your phone and do it again. Maybe, depending on your rom, you might be able to flash on top of 2.3.4
H-Boot is similar to the Bios of the computer. And you know how carefully you have to be to change that.
But the H-Boot version that the 1st sticky says allows changing of certain things, thus allowing you to have root.
Feel free to ask away, im here to help you

lol. you posted both while i was writing up my response.
Its good though, because then the OP will get to read 2 times as much, which will make him even better at the terminology and the process
Lol. I'm just trying to be helpful so i can get to posting on the Dev. forums. There are plenty of easy questions there...
Appreciating the help guys =] Starting to understand a bit better!
So when i flash a new ROM, i must flash a new Radio? If i flash the recommended radio, how likely am i to get a good signal? And if im getting poor signal, i just have to keep trying new Radios? ( I Heard flashing radios is one of the ways you can brick your device)
Also with CWM - When the backup is made... do i have to keep it on the Sd card? Or can i move it to the computer so it takes up less space?
And if i understand correctly - CWM basically creates a backup just incase things go wrong you can always revert back?
... If i use titanium backup, what benefits does that bring over CWM? - Is it worth the money?
Thanks again
~Tbestie~
Also, how do i find my hboot version?
Ive started trying to get S-Off... just be reading ahead, it says that Custom ROMs come with root already? Does that mean i just need CWM with S-Off to flash a ROM? Or do i need to Root + Do the Super-Cid thing?

- Hold the power button, untill you get Shut Down, Airplane Mode or Restart.
- Click on Restart then Yes.
- Wait until all the lights on your device turn off.
- Hold the Vol. Down Button until a white screen shows.
There you'll find HBOOT-XXXXXX
This is your HBOOT version.
To get to your OS again:
- Make sure FASTBOOT is hightlighted.
- Press the <Power> button.
- Go to REBOOT by pressing Vol. Down.
- Press the <Power> button.
Hope it helps

You don't need Root to install a custom Root.
Just S-OFF, CWM and SuperCID I believe..
Just note down your old CID before writing the new SuperCID as you may need it later if you want to flash RUU and afraid of doing something wrong
Later on, if you want to flash RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) without the fear of flashing a wrong one, you can just write the old CID to your device again
Check this post to know more
Sorry for the silly amount of posts... i cant find how to delete them!
Just so you know - I've archieved S-Off now , and installed CWM successfully.
Am i ready to flash a ROM?
-Also i have save files in games... such as FF7 - FPse , which a really dont want to lose... is their anyway i can copy them/save them somewhere ?

To flash a ROM, you mean Stock ROM (RUU) or Custom ROM?
If Custom Rom, please read my post #13 then do the SuperCID thing as you will need it for custom ROM..
About your saved games, the only way I know you can backup your saved data with is using Titanium Backup, which can be found in the Market.
Obviously, if you still don't know what you're doing, research more and then do whatever you want.
I take no responsibilities about anything that may happen to your phone using any of the methods above.
Good luck

*UPDATE* - Performed backup with CWM - Everything seemed to go fine... however i noticed it said ''No sd-ext found, skipping backup of sd-ext''...
Does that mean my SD card isnt backed up?

That's exactly what happened to me when I backed up.
I think you should ignore it, as it is trying to backup an extension in the SD-Card, as you can re-partition your SD-Card using CWM as I understand.
I would be pleased if someone explained to me what exactly sd-ext is and what I'm missing
Good day to you all

Ignoring it is ok. sd-ext not being backed up is most likely an indicator that an EXT4 formatted portion of your SD card was not found. By default, your SD card is formatted as FAT32 because of its universal acceptance by all OSs. Some users report a performance boost/personal preference toward EXT4, YMMV.

Most importantly, ClockworkMod does not back up your SD card. that is something you have to do manually on your computer, should you choose to do so. CWM is only responsible for backing up the internal storage of the phone that can be changed or wiped by ROMs (or mike1986's SuperWipe.) ROMs shouldn't change the contents of the SD card.

Help! Wrong radio!!

Alright, so I've had an htc sensation running on leedroid 3.10 for quite some time now. Recently it started to restart randomly, so I decided to upgrade my rom. So then I attempted to install insertcoin ICS, but I needed a new radio. So I chose one figuring it would work and now my device doesn't connect to internet or even my data. Whenever I try to install a different radio now to attampt fixing it, it says I have the wrong CID! I NEED my phone to work soon because i have a lot of important things to do that involve it!! Thanks for all help and please respond soon! FYI it says my radio is 10.11.9007.06_M2. Should I maybe reflash the hboot?
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, I've been searching for the solution for hours. I've never been more afraid of anything not working than this phone, and I can't afford a new phone, so please help!
First, you need to be superCid in order to install any radio without issue, Have a look in this post, Step 4
After that, you need to install corresponding firmware before flashing ICS rom. read this Thread

Hi,
10.11.9007.06_M2 is a few steps backwards/downwards on the radio ladder.
You can see the order HERE
What is your actual plan?
Do you want ICS?
If you want ICS ,you either need Super CID,or look at THIS POST
Right now there are 2 ICS bases:
3.12.....Sense 3.5
3.24.....Sense 3.6
When you install the appropriate firmware for either ROM,it will have the new radio inside the PG58IMG.zip
A good thread to follow is HERE
If you are not confident about upgrading to ICS,you could just flash the radio:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
and carry on with GingerBread.

Help, flashing for the first time

Alright, so i recently found out that we have a stable(?) nightly of CM7 for the E739.
I have my phone rooted, installed CWM.
Now, am stuck. Please understand that this is my first time doing anything like this.
Can somebody guide me through the flashing process?
And what are the chances of me screwing up my phone?
The best place I would recommend is a search of Google. Any guides xda or other will be returned.
Also, as this your first experience of flashing your phone make sure you understand exactly what it is you are doing before you begin the process.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I did search.
Thing is, there's just brief (very brief) guides on how to flash cm7 on my E739.
what do you mean you're stuck? I'm assuming you read the post below? Its pretty self explanatory. Did you flash the kernel as well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484673
I thought the new nightlys had the kernel included...?
get.cm
phone model: E739
well according to that I don't think it does, hence why there's a download link for it. On the thread you were looking at on flashing cm7 nightly, did it state the kernel was included?
I've been reading a lot, i don't remember if it was in this forums or in the cyanogenmods forum where i read the kernel was included in the new nightlys.
Is the kernel a must?
Ok, so on Rom Manager before flashing the rom, it gives me the options to make a backup, clear data and cache, and delvik cache.
If i check all of those, i should be on the safe side, right?
I personally don't flash roms through rom manager so I wouldnt know, I flash using recovery. But I guess they have the same basics. Yeah I make a backup of my stock rom, wipe data and cache, then delvik, then the rom I want on, then the kernel if its not included in the rom zip. The kernel is a must since it could screw up random things on your phone.
Very well then, i will flash tomorrow when am near a computer. In case anything happens.
Though am very tempted to flash the nightly right now.
better to be safe than sorry...up to you though.

I would reflash to the backup rom you made before by going into cwm or whatever recovery you have...I could be wrong in regards to that but thats what I would do, doesn't mean its the right thing to do...
I suggest u find your official rom first,
if u can't flash the new rom successfully that u can flash it to the original rom

How do you install the new radio??newbie??

How does one go about installing the new radio i keep seeing mentioned around the forums in the trickdroid thread especially?
What does it do?
Does it improve battery life or signal?
Cheers and step by step please
Sure mate here you go:
1. Go to Q&A section
2. Read thread OTA Update to Android 4.0.4 for S4 is Out
Good luck
So I need to download that exe. Backup my current trickdroid set up. Then just run the exe let it upgrade everything back to stock but the radio will be upgraded. I then just boot into Cwm and reinstall trickdroid?

If you need to change your CID
Make a nandroid backup from cwm
Relock bootloader
Connect your phone to pc and start the ruu exe (follow the wizard)
Unlock bootloader (if you changed CID you have to get another unlock_code from htcdev)
Flash cwm
Restore nandroid backup
Reboot
Done!
If you get a bootloop after restoring the nandroid flash boot.img through fastboot.
Btw next time search aorund the forums, you could figure it out yourself
cheers all
i still dont really understand what to do but ill give it a go.
atm i have a rooted phone with cwm installed and trickdroid 7.
although people saying search. I saw this thread.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
But its not actually that clear to beginners on what to do.
If its only wifi fixes im not sure if its worth the risk, i thought it may improve reception or battery life etc?
Haven't seen any official patch notes actually so unsure what it does. If you're going to do stuff before being sure what you're doing or at least understanding exactly how, make sure you backup important stuff like photos on your computer first. 99% of flashing screw-ups can be fixed with the assistance of the awesome nerds here but you'll be at the mercy of unknown unpaid strangers good will. Failure is always an option
drop box always saves me
well ive flashed it but im having trouble getting cwm back on it so i can then root it or once ive got cwm on it will my rom backup auto unroot it again?##
Answers to my own questions............
In the end i used htc one s all in one tool kit and kept trying to flash cwm without success. I tryed to install it via fastboot and that failed as well. In the end the only that worked was the interim cwm included in the tool kit once that was installed i then installed my backup rom which seems to have re rooted the phone and then used rom manager to flash cwm properly
Cheers.
Just be good if i knew exactly what this new update did lol
it was suppose to help wifi issues, i believe, would have to re-read on it. sure there are other improvements
thing is, it gives different results for each person, I am not sure it helped me at all, as my issues were, i believe, rom/kernel related
also, with the current setup you have and if you are on an hboot older than .13, like 06 or 09 you could have just flashed radio thru fastboot
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot
Just fyi for next time as radio is rom independent, but done wrong is quickest way to brick phone
hence why i wanted to be doubly sure and started my own thread and not brick my phone.
Thanks though.
