Edge slow defective?

Is it just my device or is it T-Mobile on edge this device is super slow loading web pages. My signal strength is always bouncing about but usually its -85dBm 15asu. Should I take the device in or am I just thinking to much. I just got the replacement.

Did you try the new radio introduced in 2.3.3?

Nope does it work with cm7? Can you link me to it?

bootloader.img and radio.img must be in your sdk\tools folder.
Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode
To flash the radio, use the fastboot command:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the radio
To flash the bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the bootloader
The new version numbers:
radio I9020XXKB1
bootloader I9020XXKA3
The versions that came with my phone:
radio I9020XXJK8
bootloader I9020XXJK1

also. if you haven't make sure you wipe dalvik/factory/cache to see if it would fix it.
its just difficult whether or not to say if your device is defective because you flashed a custom rom.
was it like this when you were on stock?
try flashing netarchy's 1.2.5 cm7 compatiable kernel as well
- Incorporate many updates from the newer 2.3.3 kernel sources,
including wifi driver updates, touchscreen updates, drivers for
future SLCD nexus-s variants, and more

you can but there is no fastboot for the old radio available. it might be in the 2.3.2 OTA and you can pick it out from there but im not sure if its there since there wasn't a radio change in 2.3.2.

There wouldn't really be a reason for me to go back though right? Also I would still be able to flash, things from the bootloader?

yes. flashing the updated bootloader is optional, but thats up to you. im not responsible for any bricks, i would just update both of them.
both of those two files are extracted from the 2.3.3 OTA.
there has been a great number of feedback that says that this radio definitely helps.
to figure out if your device is defective or not (it probably isnt).. return back to stock and see how it is. it could be based on your location since you are in a EDGE only area.

Thanks for your help. I put my sim in my G1 and it was even slower so I don't think it's my device
Edit:it was just like this when I restored back to stock

It's most likely your area then. If you could get a backup of the old radio, you could try the new radio and see which one is better performance.

[Q]New to Xoom, couple Q's

I just bought a xoom from a friend. The build is HTK75D, and I suppose its a 4g model, thats what she said and it has the fake plastic clear 4g sim card in the tray.
Im only using it for wifi as I am an ATT customer, just got a good deal on it.
I guess my questions are
1. Apparently it hasnt gotten the ICS update because it says its recent with 3.2.1
2. Universal root is safe with this model right?
3. What custom roms are compatible with this xoom, and I am not using the cellular radio at all, so if the rom disables that...i dont care.
4. Is there a return to stock tutorial for the xoom that I can bookmark?
any help is greatly appreciated.

not to my knowledge, but its rather easy. Do a nandroid backup right before rooting (from the already installed custom recovery). If you ever want to go back to stock, just restore this backup, reboot your xoom, let it boot (that will overwrite your custom recovery), go back into the bootloader and issue a "fastboot oem lock" from your computer. You will get OTA updates again, however it can still be detected that you have unlocked your xoom before, thus your warranty will still be void... (after unlocking "fastboot getvar iswarrantyvoid" will always return "true", there is currently no way to get that back to "false")

TWRP from CWM???

Was gonna give TWRP recovery a try... I am currently using CWM and didn't know if it would be safe to just use the goo app and flash TWRP that way. I have always used CWM and wanted to try something new and just want to be safe when going about it.

Yes you can install TWRP any way you like. One recovery will simply overwrite the other. Nothing to worry about.

My only brick
The one time i ever truly bricked a phone after close to 30 times rooting and unlocking boot loaders was with TWRP and this phone. I am talkin complete brick, like qualcom drivers request show up on windows brick, the kind brick that you just throw at a window, because you got no charging light, no vibration, no light what so ever.
Btw i was only flashing a rom
I never touched TWRP after .

Thanks for the input guys..... Gonna stick with CWM for now. Seen a fair amount of negative stuff towards TWRP in the forums and don't want to risk anything.

Seconded.

Used the gooapp to flash twrp and haven't had any problems. In fact I switched over from cwm because while installing liquidsmooth cwm kept giving me error 7. Everything I googled told me it was a problem with my recovery, so switched to twrp and presto
Although watch which version of twrp because I was reading the Cleanrom lite thread and ppl were having issues with the latest twrp at the time of their postings. It was around end of September that they were saying this, I believe.

I used to use cwm and now have been using twrp and have never had a problem. This guy above you can't blame twrp for your brick you don't know if that's what it was. Twrp I like better cause I can move my backup folder and copy it even to another computer. Cwm has the blob folder which you can't see which files belong to which backup so you can't just move one backup you have do do them all

Don't know what you were looking out but CWM is the one where the wipes/format are on different pages. All wipe options in TWRP are on the wipe page right next to each other. Newest version now released.

New to HTC need some help

Hey guys my s3 killed its self yesterday so I grabbed one of these beauties today and I'm really impressed so far(maybe its the custom ROM).
Now I got the phone off a guy, had it he unlocked the bootloader,rooted,and gave me the phone already running 4.1(dirty 1.8).no back ups to even a rooted stock.
Although I love jelly bean this battery is killing me and I would really like to have at least a stock zip I can flash in emergencies.
I am so unfamiliar with HTC(nexus one was the last one I owned)thank I really don't want to brick it.
OK so my questions are these
I have the rogers version of the Onex is there certain builds I need to look for or are they all just HTC one x?
With HTC is there a fallback like with samsung if things go wrong at least there's always download mode and Odin.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Thanks in advance
And sorry for the noobness I just can't kill 2 phones in a week

No! It is wise of you to ask this, because there are two versions of the One X, the International (Tegra 3 quad-core) and the US/Rogers/Telstra (dual-core S4). Flashing stuff for the wrong version can permanently brick your phone (i.e., there is no current fix for some of these mistakes).

Assuming you haven't flashed the wrong ROM, you can generally always get out of trouble by booting into bootloader, relocking, and running the RUU for your firmware. Most problems can be fixed by going back into recovery and re-flashing or flashing something else.
Note: Figure out what version of hboot you have before doing anything. With 1.09, modding is pretty straightforward. With 1.14, you have to take some extra steps and there are a few things you can't do at all.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. Leave it unlocked unless you need to RUU.

His hboot should be 1.11 which is the same as 1.09 as far as installing roms go.
If you're looking for a Sense ICS rom, I recommend ViperXL or CleanRom5. But there are other roms to try. As long as you stay in this forum and not the international forum you should be safe to flash anything you want.

Awesome thanks guys.
I check my boot loader and it is 1.11..
So that makes me happy cause all in all I'm addicted to flashing
One last question for you before I venture off on my own here..
With my nexus one I and the passimg I could flash through my bootloader in cause something went wrong or I just want to refresh my n1,is there something like that for this phone or are those days long gone?
Again thanks a bundle

Correct, stick to TWRP. There is an app called GooManager that makes installing and updating TWRP close to effortless.
If you haven't already, reboot to recovery and see what you've got installed. Some people insist on using ClockworkMod recovery because they've used it on other phones, but it's not supported for this one and can cause issues with data getting corrupted. If you have CWM installed, all you need to do is download GooManager and select "Install openrecovery script" in settings and it will replace it with TWRP.

Ya I always use twrp have for a while but what I mean is if (can?) I soft brick my phone or something happens that I can't flash from recovery is there a passimg zip like we had for the n1 that could be flash through the boot loader?
You know just in case
I only ask cause its HTC thought maybe there was something like that...could have been a Google thing too not sure..

CWM

What is the best way to install CWM on my TF300T, I am on the 4.2 bootloader, and I tried to put the CORRECT JB 4.2 version of TWRP 2.5.0 and it is like a split screen and will not function. Some time before that it asked for a password when I booted the recovery. I just want to start fresh with Clockwork Mod I guess.
Please point me in the correct direction.
Thank you

Not to be a douche but use the search function. And use twrp. Cwm is too buggy on the tf300. Its very easy for it to bug out and brick your pad.

If you searched you would have seen all your questions are answered in the stickies. Also you would have seen twrp is recommended over cwm due to cwm bricking devices. I'm sure you would prefer that not to happen.

Update to the most recent boot loader. I'm trying to tell you. You have to use twrp. Cwm bricks the tf300t while flashing ROMs. Everyone advises not to use it. I don't even think there's a guide here for it since its too much of a liability. If your getting a split screen you are doing something wrong. Reading everything and doing everything exactly right is the name of the game here. The tf300 is way to easy to brick. If your having problems just installing a custom recovery your best to just stay away from flashing on this device. You have to pay attention to boot loader version and firmware version or you are going to get errors. Your lucky you haven't hard bricked yet.
I know what I'm talking about. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

This is defiantly one of the most sensitive device to do everything on. Asus wasn't to friendly. Its like they want you to brick. And my bad about the rudeness extreme lack of sleep has made me very irritable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Indeed flashing cwm is another way to brick the TF300. Lucky you didn't flash it.
The problem is that the latest bootloader changes the partition table on the TF300 - it makes /system larger in order to accommodate the larger Asus ROM. The issue is most of the legacy recoveries including the non 4.2 twrp and cwm don't understand this and thus the device becomes bricked as the partition table is now messed up.
