1. Yes that would be a good choice since, what ive heard is a must?
2. No you dont, just a wipe of FR, cache, sometime dalvik in my opinion.
3. No, you can stay on your current radio. Depends in what country you live. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 Read that

GPS Problem

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

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 But if you dont have all 6 options to wipe, you are running a very outdated recovery.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?

Install the radio wich comes on the zip. You'll see everything will be fine

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.

That's a problem on your end, that rom is flawless and you flashed it wrong
This is the guide I used to flash the ROM

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

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.
I would try out the nexusmod zero ics I'm running it now and I like it a lot more than nexus 4. Also when I went from the from you are on now I had to do a super wipe before I could get the ics rom to work without bootloop

[Q] correct procedure to flash Rom/Kernel/Radio

Hi all,
I have an unlocked skyrocket and a tmo sim. I would love to use it with tmo 4G plan (as I'm currently using the stock radio it keeps connecting using EDGE protocol).
Reading this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825
I found out that the best combination to obtain high speed rates is
Rom: Juggernaut 5.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642)
Kernel: Faux123 0010m (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437563)
Radio: VKL1 (http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#4 taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825)
Can anyone tell me which is the correct procedure (sequence) to install a new rom, kernel and radio on this device? What about cache/dalvik cache wipes?
By looking in these threads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981502 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119145 I would assume that the correct sequence is:
Wipe data, wipe dalvik, flash ROM first, boot, reboot in recovery, flash kernel, boot, reboot in recovery, flash radio, boot. Is that correct?
Thank you!
p.s. I would really love if someone can double check these links for me (before I do anything wrong!). In particular my concern is about the ROM; the version I found is for the t989 (is it ok to use on the i727?)

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

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.

[Q] Switch from 4EXT to CWM ? / Flashing boot.img ? (CM10-alpha)

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"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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.

(Q) jellybam 1.3 won't flash

Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

Wiping the data does not affect your Internal/External storage.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe
