why is it that every time i flash a rom, data speeds become complete crap? the apn fix didoes work for me. i don't see a reason why this should happen.
Normally each ROM will have a preferred radio. Make sure you are using the correct radio.

Its best to stick with factory. There has never been scientific proof that any other radio is better than factory.

OK I'm lost what rom do you have?
You also can't expect things to work honky dory if you're flashing a lot lol. Im on stock radio with cm7 and have also used miui and at one point android revolution. I've never had data speed issues.
What issues are you having exactly?

If you're saying the APN fix DOES work for you, the answer to your question is because almost all ROMs have the incorrect APN config for some markets.
I tried the APN "update" on the stock radio using CM7 but my upload speeds are still only around 300k. I'm wondering if the network is still behind here in Kansas City.

Indeed that may be the case. CM7 (as do most custom ROMs) already has the proper build.prop settings to allow 1.3 MB/s upload speeds, and you've already tried my APN changes. There are some threads claiming a few people have lost HSUPA from flashing radios, but I don't know if this situation applies to you.
If you want to confirm without a doubt whether or not your market is HSUPA enabled, try this if you're feeling adventurous. First, backup your current CM7 ROM in ROM Manager, then flash the updated rooted stock RUU that came out a few days ago at THIS thread. This method flashes the updated stock image through the bootloader (using the P98IMG.ZIP method), and it flashes a new radio to your phone. If your speeds stay the same then it's safe to say your market isn't HSUPA enabled yet. However, if your upload speeds improve vastly after doing this method, then just keep that new radio that the new RUU flashed to your phone, and restore your CM7 backup. After restoring CM7, flash the HTC-RIL file that matches the new radio (HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM). You can find this RIL in this thread. Works like a charm, I've been running it for a couple of days now on CM7.0.2 stable. Battery life is very good too.
Awesome! Thanks Henry. I'll try it when I get back into town. One of my coworkers has the Inspire (100% stock). I'm going to ask her how her U/L speeds look after the update as well.
Give it 3-5 days, i used to think that too. Your new rom or radio has to get adjusted to each other. Its like a fine wine in most cases. if you flash a new rom it has to get adjusted to the radio vise versa. Its kinda like a new baby thier brains like a sponge soaks up info quickly. just give it time my freind spend a few days with each rom and radio combo you test and on the 3rd to 5th day, data, and kernal test your setup.
Just like the Guide in general this is an attempt for people to go to for quick answers, to the commonly asked questions. I am going to try and put this in a quick reference so it is easier to go straight to the question you want.

General Questions:
1a. I am a noob where do I start?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The best place to start if you ware wishing to root your phone is the Guide that is stickied in the General section. It will cover the two rooting methods currently available to us. It also covers general fixes for soft bricks, how to flash a rom (not just for beginners, but for every time you flash a rom). You can find the guidehere.
2a. What is the best rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This question get asked time and time again. The question itself is extremely subjective. The honest answer is there really is no "best rom". It all depends on what the development team is doing to the rom, and what the flasher is looking for in a custom rom.
2b. What rom has the best battery life?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This question is also very subjective. There are to many variables that come into play with roms to narrow it down or pick a specific rom. Things like signal, network, radio, ril, cpu settings, apps, widgets, and kernel all come into play. The only way to find out, is to see what works best for you and your needs.
2c. What rom has the least amount of bugs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Every rom is different. The very nature of custom roms are to be in a constant state of beta. With that said every phone reacts differently to every rom. Even the stock rom that comes with the phone is subject to bugs, for instance the captivate was released with numerous bugs.
3a. My phones rooted can I install the OTA?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The OTA (over the air) update will download on sense based roms, but no matter how many times you try the install will fail. There are two options, return to stock, and possibly loose the ability to root or wait 24-48 hours until the dev's come out with a rom based on the update.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
General Rooting Questions:
4a. Why is the rooting process so complicated?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unlike most phones the inspire requires you to not only create a gold card, but also to downgrade the radio and rom in order to perm root the phone. There is no easier way or way around it. Visonary and Gingerbreak will not work.
5a. What is a gold card?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically you are editing the sd card, so that you can bypass the CID check.
5b. Why am I having trouble making a goldcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some SD cards just will not work as gold cards. Confirmed working sd cards: Kingston, PKNY. Some samsung sd cards will work (the ones that typically come with the phone). Though please note: it may take as many as 10-20 tries before you actually make one, and you will need to format the sd card each time you try.
5c. After I have rooted my phone do I still need the goldcard to flash roms?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, once the rooting and s-off process has completed you will no longer need your gold card. You can format your gold card, or you can leave it as is, and use it as a normal sd card.
6a. Why do I have no wifi/sound after downgrade?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The rom/radio used to downgrade the inspire is a native ACE rom/radio, though it is not native to the inspire. The rom does not have the correct drivers. You will need to flash a custom rom of your choice, along with the recommended radio for the rom.
7a. Why is rage not found?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When your anti virus/malware is activated, rage will appear to the program as a virus/malware. Essentially Rage is a forkbomb used on android to gain root access. It is not a virus nor is it malware. In order to use rage you will need to deactivate your virus/malware software so it does not quarantine/delete it. After the rooting process you can turn your protection back on.

Radio and Network Questions:
8a. What radio should I flash?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is once again one of those subjective questions. Every phone responds differently to every radio. The radio's signal and data strength will differ for every region. Essentially what may work for some one may not work for you.
8b. How do I flash a Radio?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The safest way to flash a radio is through the bootloader (not to be confused with recovery). You will need to check the MD5sum of the radio to make sure the file is not corrupt, you are able to do this on your computer or on your phone which ever you choose. The file will be in the form of a pd95img.zip which is the update file name for the inspire. You can find Radio & RIL's along with instructions here.
9a. What is a RIL?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tribalartgod: Radio Interface Library. In the most basic of terms, this is the link between your hardware and software on your phone. Think of it as device drivers. You can use other RIL files with your radio, but having matched pairs can warrant better battery life, and more stability on your signal/data strength.
9b. How do I flash a RIL?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A RIL is flashed the same as any rom mod, theme, or rom itself, through CWM (Clock Work Mod Recovery). You are going to want to make a nandroid back up before flashing.
10a. Why Are my data speeds inconsistent?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is very subjective as well. There are numerous factors that come into play such as: Radio, RIL, network strength, network load, and apn settings. If you are having consistently slow speeds take a look at this thread(HenryBravo) or this thread(id10terrordfw)
11a. Why is my data not working?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This could be a combination of a few things, but the most common problems are that 1. The sim card/sd card cover is not on, 2. You still have the downgraded radio, 3. You have no APN under network>apn settings.

Rom and Flashing Related Questions:
12a. How do I flash a rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instead of reiterating the steps I will link to the guide which has a "noob" friendly step by step guide. You can find it here.
12b. What is a rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Essentially a rom is what you see on the screen. Of course it is a little more then that, but that is the easiest way to look at it.
13a. How do I flash a kernel?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First you are going to want to make sure the kernel you flash is compatible with the rom and or phone you wish to flash it on. The steps for flashing a kernel are almost identical to flashing a rom, with one major exception you are NOT going to do a full wipe!
13b. What is a kernel?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Essentially the kernel is what makes it happen. It is the software that tells the hardware to work with the software and vice versa.
14a. How do I make a nandroid back up?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A nandroid back up is probably one of the most important things you can do before flashing. Essentially it is backing up the entire rom to include: Sms/mms, Contacts, APPS, book marks, personal settings. It does not include anything contained on different partitions, such as radios and splashscreens.
There are two processes to creating a nandroid backup. The first method is using rom manager and selecting back up current rom, with this method you can name the back up which will be saved on your sd-card. The other method involves booting into recovery and backing up from Clock work mod recovery, note with this method you will not be able to name the backup, but it will be saved on your sd card.
15a. How do I flash a Theme?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are going to use the same process as you would with a rom, except you are NOT going to do a full wipe. Note: The exception to this is if you are using a cm7 based rom that has theme manger installed, in which case it is installed just like an app.
16a. How do I flash a boot animation?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once again this will be the same method as flashing a rom, you will NOT being a full wipe though.
17a. How do I flash a splash screen?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Splash screens are flashed through the bootloader, just like a radio. The splash screen will be in a pd98img.zip format.
18a. Why does my phone show desire hd and not inspire 4g
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Essentially the inspire is a desire hd with slight modifications. This seems to bother a lot of people, but in all honest it is really trivial.
Note: If you do convert your phones name to inspire from desire, carrier billing may not work on some roms.
19a. I don't have h+ anymore only h how do I fix this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is nothing to fix, the H+ is purely cosmetic, essentially H=H+ there is no difference.
You will see this happen when your using a rom based on the desire/pyramid, the images only make a cameo appearance on att.

Backup and App questions:
20a. What is the best thing to use to back up apps?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a subjective question as well, there are two main apps used to back up apps along with the apps data. Titanium backup /pro and My back up pro.
Note: Restoring backup-ed apps + data may adversely effect the performance of a rom.
21a. What is the best app to use to back up sms and mms?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go sms and a few other apps have the ability to backup sms and mms, the phone doesn't natively have this function.
22a. Why won't my app install correctly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9 times out of 10 it was downloaded incorrectly, and will need to be re-downloaded and installed. In the other 1% of instances it is a compatibility issue with the rom you are using.

I will be updating with the answers tomorrow night, once I get done with some school work.
If there is something you would like to see added, please let me know. This is in an effort to be as informative as possible and help cut down on the vindicated questions.

"I have weak wifi/no internet after rooting"

Sweet. Great work once again, mudknot.
I'VE got one for you. I have a Inspire4G and I am running Coredroid 7.0 and have been trying to change the model name back to Inspire4g from Desire HD. I've tried to edit the\ build.prop=Model name and \manufacturer=HTC. Saved and rebooted but it didn't change the model name. I'm new to all this fun stuff and its just really bothersome to me for some reason. I've also tried to flash the GB_Patch_DHD_to_Inspire4G33.zip and where it's made for Leedroid Rom it changes my Rom name. I've tried to Search the forums here and @ Coredroid.com .But still have no luck at a good/working fix.
If anyone can help me out it would be really appreciated. Thanks

Something in reference to the missing H/H+ after flashing a rom and the insignificance of it might be in order. Also, perhaps a brief explanation of s-on/s-off might not be a bad idea.

Definitions
Is there a chance you can make a definitions/list section? I have been playing with different roms and have found that ROMS, Kernels, etc can be confusing. What do I flash first? Do I need to flash the LeeKernel if I am going to run Cyanogen? etc.
The thing I see is a lot of development is being done that says something like "based on FroYo" but it takes a bit of research as a noob to figure out what FroYo is. Definitions of Kernels, Roms, etc with a list of what is what may ease this burden.
*Edited* I just re-read the link in MudKnot's Sig... What I am looking for is there. DOH!
Anyway... great site guys. Thanks for doing so much work.

Guys, why is it that an atrix can support my wifi strongest signal which is a VIZIO. my INspire reads only the normal ViZIO signal which speeds to 2.4ghz (and so does every other devices as my cpu). And I tried with a stock inspire and my custom one.
But the issue lies on one day I used the Atrix from a friend, and it read my VIZIO (HD) which signal runs up to 5ghz. Does it have to do with the radio or is the app. Or there is a hardware issue?

you don't need titaniumbackup to uninstall bloatware. simply use the rootexplorer. navigate to system/app and delete that apps you don't want to be on your phone. but don't forget to mount r/w. and before you do so, make a nandroid backup!

No where did they mention how to root. Many people are losing their wifi doing the regular method that is in the massive guide, so they wind up going back to stock. It is not guaranteed to mess up wifi, but if it does, you are just unlucky. (As of now).
I would like to know how others are rooting (perm.) without having these issues.
Matt
I think the responses in this thread pretty much sum up why we want a rooted yet otherwise untouched ROM. From my flashing experience in the past I have found it *extremely* difficult to find a ROM where everything just works. Some well meant tweak always ends up causing some bizarre problem somewhere down the line.

Fair enough - I just flashed the root zip that the Revolution guys linked to and haven't had a single issue.
EDIT: actually it looks like this is solved - just use the correct (newer) su zip as shown in this post
I've tried to root my ATT HTC Inspire a couple of times over the last few week - I always end up w/ the same issue.
Using the XDA Hack Kit 2.3, the process proceeds smoothly . . goldcard, check. down grade, check. after the downgrade I can run setup and have full network access, etc.
But when the S-off / sound fix install step is completed, I am unable to secure access to the internet, period. In set-up, I get an "unable to determine your region" message for HTC sense. I can not set up google services because "the server fails to respond" ... I *can* connect to my WiFi network no problem. I can make calls, but every website I try to access is "not found".
I've tried a number of different radios, all give me the same problem. I'm tempted to say it's some type of DNS error (looks like the symptoms of one, anyway) but I'm not familiar enough w/ Android to know if that's a good guess.
SO I've returned to stock today for the 4th time. Any ideas? I don't see this issue posted anywhere . . if it is, just point me in the right direction, and I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
i swear this has been covered a hundred times....hell, i have read it 20 times this week....
you are on the downgrade rom, it doesnt work, and isnt meant to be used as a daily driver.
INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM
Read above - - several custom ROMs installed, net access does not come back.
{this is what "I've tried a number of different radios, all give me the same problem." would mean}
Including, Stock ATT, ATT OTA update, Cyano, etc.
Thanks, though, for your quick read and assumptions. Speed isn't quite a substitute for useful advice.

@timpilcher, hey just happened by this post and thought I could lend a hand. I'm from evo 4g forums.
However, ROM's and radios are two different items. What it sounds like you need to do is flash a custom ROM, and then upgrade your radios. I am sure there is a thread for that within your section that contains the updated radios. These have to do with the actual signal of you're phone, where the ROM is just the interface.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Thank you.
Yes, I guess I was confused. The radio files are named "rom.zip" in the install procedure, and they are placed in the "rom.zip" directory in order to be installed w/ the XDA cmnd script. I'm familiar w/ flashing custom ROMs in PCs, but I've never had need to mess w/ a phone before.
So, yeah, I found it confusing. Thanks for clearing it up.

KANG - To steal or a stolen code when referring to programming. Also can refer to leaked coding.
Due to the copious amounts of kanging that now happens in regards to android development I will be pulling all of my links and changing the original posts with this. If you would like to use my roms please feel free to find the kanged version elsewhere.
For inspiring developers, rtfm or ask someone who knows what they are doing before you steal someone elses work, look at someones code and get the general idea. If you port or use something as a base, credit that person. Do not just link back to the thread where you got it from. My email is [email protected] so feel free to ask questions, if I know the answers I will be willing to assist.
I don't wish to call anyone out but I will say there are a few roms, specifically for MT4G Slide that have been kanged. One of which was taken from me, another was a kanged version of CM7 which was just the Settings.apk SettingsProvider.apk and Launcher.apk replaced. CM7 is framework edits, not just a list of apps an entire team works on. You cannot just replace apps in CyanogenMod and expect it to work thus the reason some parts of the Settings.apk force close. Its not hard to be an idiot but its even easier to spot bull**** work, do yourselves a favor, leave xda, leave rootzwiki, leave whatever thread you are on and learn from people who know what the fk they're doing.
If my email fills with hate mail, then fine, at least what I did I feel was right and do not have to worry about my development being taken and rebadged, if I'm out of line then have a moderator delete and close my thread. Thanks!
Mainly because we are looking for s-off... Good work though
rooted 1.55.531.3 with clockwork recovery and SU

It's the bone stock myTouch ROM, there should be screen shots and videos of it every where on Google. Since It's stock only, no mods us myTouch users already know what to expect it to look like

Does this have the insecure boot.img? What about the hboot version?
I'm currently unlocked and s-off, running UndeadK9's "stock" deodexed/rooted/optimized R2 release ROM. I don't want to lose s-off or root, but I like having a more "stock" rom as this is my only phone.

I cant edit the build prop at all. If I do it won't boot. Does this have unsecure boot.img by chance?

What are you trying to edit, and to what? I'm almost sure the boot.img is unsecured

I just used root explorer and changed my VM heap and rebooted fine

I know Daniel60104's ROM does have the unsecure boot.img, not sure on this one.
On a side note, has anyone tried flashing the radio update that accompanied this release? I know that radio is a no-go for older ROMS, but since it was designed with this release, no word yet how it works with a rooted ROM.
Anyone noticed battery life improvement on this stock version? I've been using this for a week now and I can say there's a big difference compare to the older version. I am using the non-debloat (stock). Another thing is I have yet to experience the random warm battery issue that I've been experiencing from older stock based roms.

I have noticed much better battery performance with this stock ROM, as well. I'm using Daniel's stock, rooted ROM, and I ran Bloater to take out the things I didn't want (like TMobileTV, TeleNAV, QIK). This ROM runs very quick, smooth. I'm still wondering about the newer radio, though I'm hesitant to flash it because I can't afford to screw up this phone. This is my ONLY phone, it has to work.

As long as the Md5 matches your safe, just follow the instructions one at a time, like read all the way through them once and make sure you understand the steps, then go back and start the process, that's it the phone handles the rest...BUT its still scary I understand that, Hell I've had my own EVO Shift ROM for about 10 months and i still use the stock 2.2 radio on that phone

Given that I'm running 1.55.531.3, S-OFF and rooted, with the original stock radio, and everything is working splendidly (wi-fi, bluetooth, camera, gps, etc.), I'm not gonna mess with it for now.
I'm interested to see what HTC comes out with since they halted the 1.55.531.3 OTA update due to "performance issues". When they restart, I wonder if it will be a different version, for instance.

Well them performance issues can and will be addressed asap, its all about tweaking the ROM, we had major Sense reloads on the evo shift so we learned to allocate more memory here rather than there, and once a ROM was odexed/scripted/opted they flat out flew.
When it comes to the radio on my DoubleShot i will probably never change the radio cause if it aint broke dont fix it
