I'm coming from the Galaxy and trying to make sure I don't screw up...can I flash any roms with this version without losing my precious 850 band?? And if so how do I flash my old radio back or is it that simple? Does flashing a kernel with voodoo sound change anything that I shouldn't? Just want to make sure that I don't get in too big of mess before I do anything. Not new to Android but there does seem to be some major differences to the i9000m to the Canadian version of the Nexus S.
Any help will be appreciated.
do a nandroid backup first.
but so far so good with me.
Thanks, that was the first thing I did when I got cmw.

Something I have been cautious of as well with my 9020a.
I am running the latest Netarchy kernel without problems so I think you should be fine flashing a kernel. I have stayed away from any ROM that changes the radio. I tried the NSCollab ROM and it ran without problems but decided to go back to stock 2.3.3.
AFAIK Nandroid backup does not backup the radio but I could be mistaken.
Cheers.
So I'm running fission, not entirely happy with it. Terrible battery life, and at least once a day my phone stops receiving texts until I restart it.
My problem is, I accidentally flashed an older recovery, and probably cannot use the backup of stock that I made with recovery version 3.0
What do I do?
Simply flash SBF and start over. Make sure you wipe everything after SBF flash or phone won't work properly. If you plan to stay stock, do not flash "stock" deodexed/rooted versions from Fission/others. They are neither better nor faster than stock rom. Simply freeze the unwanted stuff. Unless you plan to play with themes/etc. Then you will need deodexed rom. Not having original stock rom will prevent you from updating using official Motorola updates though. Your call.
i actually messed with it yesterday. i was able to flash my stock backup made with clockwork recovery 3.0, using 2.5.3
so everything is all better.
so i everything went fine using bubbys method to root my inspire, (thank you by the way) i have not done anything after rooting the phone, everything works fine, except the mobile network, the little symbol is still there and my phone says its connected to the mobile network, but when i goto use it it says connection dropped, i opened the internet browser and it took 20 min to load google, before i rooted this was an instant load no waiting, i had no problems with internet before i rooted my phone, i would appreciate any help and advice, thanks
Flash a different Rom. Gingerbeast is a good'n but be sure to make a nandroid first.
when making a nandroid, do i have to save it to my pc, or do i leave it on the phone, i would like to stay with this rom for a while if i could get the connection back to where its supposed to be, is the a radio that would fix this? anyone's help would be greatly appreciated

Nandroids are saved to your SD card.
The radio is not backed-up when doing a nandroid...meaning, it's not touched at all... Not backed-up, not restored either... The same radio will persist from ROM-to-rom, nandroid restore of a previous ROM, etc.
Trying different radios may or may not improve your situation. It's a very user-specific thing. Personal testing/experimentation is the only way to find out.
If you do decide to play around with radios, start with the inspire only radio thread in the dev section. Use that method outlined in post #1, and those flashable radio files, also in that first post.
any one already have this problem? i need help
i would like do go back to the OTA radio that i had before i rooted my phone, does any one know a safe way to do that, ive heard so much on this im over whelmed, some say my APN settings are to blame, some say its the radio, some say i just have to flash a different ROM, i want the stock rom with the ATT crap removed, but i also need my internet back to where it was, what do you guys think?, one time i had problems with my internet before i rooted, i called ATT and they had me read of some info from the about phone section of the settings and then they fixed it over the air, do you think i could get away with this?

So you're saying that before you rooted, you had actually received the new OTA update that "enabled the pseudo-4G," correct?
That radio and RIL is available from the "inspire only radio thread" by tribalartgod in the dev section.
here
It's the one that ends in "06.30_M" and is noted as the recent OTA. There's two choices, one with rcdata and one without. Rcdata is a file that was included with the ota, that is not critical for the radio to flash properly, but if you want a "pure" OTA radio experience, you should flash this one.
There are settings in that extra rcdata file that are related to that radio, though not much is known about what they actually do, ATT included it, so its probably a good idea to use that one, just in case. I did, and if you had done the OTA prior to rooting, you did to. So use the radio file with rcdata.
Just folllow the instructions in that thread, and you'll have that radio, as you did prior to rooting.
i did that dindent help
so i correctly applied both the radio and ril, and restarted twice and waited 30 min and my speed went fron 200kb to 600kb down and still at 90kb for up, what now, and what of these was i supposed to choose:
AT&T OTA Update - Released 04-29-2011
Radio OS Base: FroYo
Radio: 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M
MD5 Sum: 991dc7acd70fa13d47ca6d0a4b6f857f
With RCDATA: 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M
MD5 Sum: 7c9ffb634314ff952a8fb49b7f86ee11
Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM
MD5 Sum: 29dc8bc64fd61a0168dcd1c31e9aae34
AOSP Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G
MD5 Sum: a9972f35d8d4e1155fea9f49aa29f483
i used the ones in bold?
Hmm, I personally did not have this issue, but I also used a different method, but to fix this I would definitely attempt to do a full wipe and install a new rom. I highly recommend using the rom Android Revolution HD, but that's your choice. Hope this works!
im not haveing any luck
so i flashed a new rom and i love the rom everything is great except the moblie connection, same problem as with the last rom, i cant even load google or the market, it says im connected, i ran speedtest.net app, very poor results. 500down/90up, someone please help
I tried installing BAMF 3.0 RC2 on my phone, and I can't seem to get it working properly. Upon startup it force closes a bunch of things and the radio shows no signal at all. I have ran the MD5 on the download to ensure integrity. Also did a complete wipe prior to flashing. Could this be a radio problem? I haven't done any radio upgrades.

when you say everything is the same, do you mean it still has the previous radio version number?
I'd suggest that you both:
1) Wipe data/dalvik/cache and flash back to a froyo ROM where you do have a signal
2) Upgrade from froyo to the MR2/2.5 radio
3) Re-wipe data/dalvik/cache (or even do it twice for good luck ) and re-flash BAMF 3.0
If its worth doing, its worth overdoing, especially when you're messing with radios and the like. Best of luck!
That's the same problem I first had with gingeritis before flashing the correct radio.. if you are still experiencing the problems after the radio flash i would suggest confirming the radio did install by checking the version number..
if it is all correct do as MattBeyers said and wipe and reflash
Thanks, that seemed to work. I still got a couple of force closes but much less than before. Also I can see my radio now! If I wanted to restore my old my Backup (Stock Froyo - MR1), do I restore my backup then flash MR1? If so, does anyone have a link the MR1 image? TIA!
I'm always one to upgrade/downgrade radios before I flash a ROM, so I would say to downgrade to MR1 and then flash the Froyo backup. Also, try going into ROM manager and using the Fix Permissions tool to see if that helps with some of the force closes.

Any reason for flashing one before the other? Reading through several of the ROM threads, it seems like everyone has a preference, but no one explains why.
I tried mr2 and mr2.5 but could only get 3g. Went back to CM7.

I just feel like the radio, being the thing that, well, controls every useful function on the phone, should be installed and present when a new ROM is flashed. I may be wrong, but it would seem logical to me that a new ROM would talk to the radio in order to make sure everything is kosher. But what if that's something that a ROM will only do once, at the first boot, and not once a new radio is flashed? Then, all of a sudden, you have the right radio, but its configured improperly by your ROM, since the ROM has already gone through its initial boot set up with the old radio. Therefore, my theory is radio > ROM (Please note, theory. )
Make sure u have a gb radio mr2 or mr2.5

This makes sense from a logical reason. Perhaps a ROM developer on this site can confirm this.
Hey guys, new to the Android world, went from my i5 to the s3, and love it with the custom rom I installed.
I rooted using Ninjas method, and then downloaded the apk unlock it from the play store to open the boot loader. I installed Cyanogen 10 on my device, and it seems to be working great other than the fact I am intermittently losing data connection, randomly might I add. This is a difficult thing as my device provides the only internet I have at my home as I live in a very rural area, however have great phone signal. Is this something that I screwed up when installing? I did not backup my stock rom, however have since learned the importance of doing so and backed up the current custom rom on Rom Manager. I also backed up all the files on the device, and memory card on my desktop for future use, as I am getting tired of reinstalling the apps and finding them over and over. Aside from the long bs, my question is, how do I get my steady signal I once had on stock rom back on my custom rom, and if I want, how do I restore back to my stock rom? Thanks!

So i dont have an answer for you. I am trying to do the same thing you just mentioned. If you dont mind, when you loaded CM10 did you have any issues with CM10 loading up? I am stuck on the boot screen the CM10 log just spins and spins. i let it run for an hour one time. I was able to boot back into the stock ROM but i have not been able to load CM10 successfully.
Thanks.

Are you saying that you now have a ****ty data signal and GPS after using odin? or are you just referring to how it was before?
if you dont mind me asking, could you post a link to the thread you followed on restoring from odin?
