Radios??

Hi there. Recently my shift has been amazingly slow. In areas that I used to be able to download at very fast speeds, I'm getting 6.1 kB/s. That's not reasonable, especially because I use my phone heavily. I researched this problem and saw that it may be a problem with my radio being old. Could anyone refer me to a guide to flashing radios? And will the radios be compatible with my rom? I'm running CM7.2 RC3. Thank you in advance.

Run the 2.77.651.3 RUU, then root using Indirect's script and flash your CM7 rom.
RUU's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335068

Don't bother running the 2.77.651.8 RUU because the radio's are the same, they only patched an exploit in that one

That's a ton of work for a radio. The shifts radios aren't tied to your hboot so just extracting the radio and making a PGzip and flashing it in bootloader makes the most since if your s-off.. It's dangerous like anything flashed from bootloader but that should be common sense to any rooted user.
IF YOU DO THIS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK,AND DONT BLAME ME FOR BRICKS.understand what your doing before you do it

Yeah I realized that there is a much easier way to do it...theres a rooted version of the 2.77.651.8 update floating around somewhere, just get that zip, rename to PG06IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard (then reboot to bootloader to install). When it's done installing just reboot, then boot into recovery and flash your CM7 rom again.
EDIT: The rooted stock is HERE

Thank you for the help. But also, what are the things that can go wrong? It's my first time flashing a radio and I do not want to brick my phone at any cost.

Okay to get the radio don't use my posted ota.
Your going to need the RUU.exeand windows and once it's downloaded open it up, but don't touch anything open run from start menu and type %temp% and it will open a window with the temp location of the RUU. Grab ROM.zip and drag it to your desktop and close the window and RUU. Inside ROM.zip is the radio hboot system.img boot.img ect. Thats where i would get the radio. Then make your PGzip and flash from bootloader. The risk of bricking is when you flash a radio not meant for your device or if it's corrupt so be careful and read read and read to be sure of of what your doing

Ah ok, I didn't actually download it and see myself, but I was suggesting that he install it through the bootloader by making a PG06IMG, not through recovery btw.
I don't know what the actual format of the rooted stock you posted is, but I probably should have checked.

2wire Router workaround?

Anybody found a way to get a JellyBean based ROM to connect to a 2wire router? I'm new to rooting and haven't gone through with it yet as this is a big deal for me. I'm looking for a JB rom that just works all around and is pretty stable. Customization isn't really important, I'll probably keep using Nova Launcher anyways. Being incompatible with a 2wire router seems to be the common problem on the JB roms I've read up on.
Any help appreciated

CleanROM JellyBean is probably your best bet. Use that and the 3.17 wireless radio.

Oh okay. I found a thread with a bunch of download links for radios for our phone. You said 3.17, so I'm to assume that the ATT 2.20 radio isn't referring to the firmware number the phones running on? Just trying to make sense of all of this haha, I thought the drivers for everything was the kernel.

So it's non Sense based roms that have the wifi issues? I don't mind Sense all that much, and I'll end up using Nova Launcher anyhow so I guess it's just wasted space on the phone which is fine. A rom will save me all the bloatware which will be nice.
Which ROM/Kernal/radio are you running?

Give me one second to go write this on the computer. Find out what bootloader you have in the meantime. Turn phone off, press power button and hold it while holding volume down until a screen loads up.
On that screen it should say hboot 1.09 or something to that effect.

No matter which radio I'm on I always have the worst time trying to connect tomy 2 wire ..always takes 30 mins

Which roms (if any) have you had success with for getting your 2wire to connect in a reasonable time? I'm assuming a Rom has to be designed for certain radios or the other way around?
I've definitely got some googling ahead of me, I always thought that AOSP was like android it self, so everything would be AOSP based?

So I've decided to go ahead and root my phone and apply the setup you are running. Just wondering, will CleanRom work out of the box without flashing new radios and kernels? I'm new to this so was hoping I could do it it steps rather than all at once so I could pin point were I went wrong easier.

But I decompiled our framework2.jar and added the necessary smali to it. Otherwise wifi calling would work, but would not connect to regular phone network, kept scanning the Sim every 30secs or so.
I'm gonna try with an aosp ROM just to see what happens, maybe collect that bounty:beer:
I don't even have T-Mobile, but everyone said it can't be done and I like a challenge, just couldn't get it out of my head, same with the small apps and the volume cursor on my ROM. My first adventures in the horrible land of smali.

You need one of the newer sims, call T-Mobile. For more info, do a search on xda or Google...it seems to be somewhat common issue.
I wasn't sure if trickdroid had a modified framework2.jar, that's why I wasn't sure if it would work, but I can modify almost any framework2.jar if someone had a particular one they want done, just post it for me.

Firewater S-Off | Help Pls| Verizon | (M8)

I am trying to get my HTC One (M8 (Verizon)) S-Off & Bootload unlocked, Here is some info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Sense: 6.0
Software number: 1.55.605.2
PRI: 1.46_002
PRL: 15310
Problem:
I have installed the HTC sync drivers (Uninstalled after drivers installed) and have been able to successfully execute ADB commands through CMD, I can get all the way through the process until it gets to the chugging part, I usually get to 2 or 3 drinks before the phone just reboots and it just stops and displays my ADB directory in the command window (CMD does not FC).
Tried all (4) USB ports on my laptop using the OEM USB cable.
Laptop: HP Elitebook 8560P
(2) USB (SS) Ports
(1) 1 Amp USB Port
(1) Standard USB port
I have turned off the firewall and AV on my system thinking that might be the issue, Can someone please give me their input, I have been trying this for several days now and I haven't had a breakthrough. Thank you in advance for your assistance regarding this issue.

Did u temp root using weaksauce first?
HTC ONE M8?

I assume you used weaksauce... There have been a couple threads about this already.. Not saying you shouldnt ask by making your own.... I had zero issue myself but recommend removing any other phone drivers you may have had and start over. I read someones post where they had a previous phones driver that had caused an issue. Personally I used an old HTC thunderbolt cable (not on purpose) but it worked.

Try it several times. It took me at least 5 for the exploit to take.

Thunder, Yes. I installed weaksauce from the thread on XDA, I do not think there is any other phone drivers on this computer. How would I go about checking ? Thank you for the reply.
UPDATE: I plugged in my windows phone and was able to locate it in device manager, I right clicked and uninstalled. Going to re-run the process and check.

Yes, I temp rooted using weaksauce and then i proceeded to install SuperSU by Chainfire. I use "Root Checker" to verify that I have root permission and I do. I am getting almost all the way through the process with no issues but, It just stops after 2-3 drinks. I think thunder might be right about the driver issue. I have a Nokia Lumia 520 that i use for work and that might be interfering the process of S-Off'ing. I have to check driver's. Thank you for the response, I appreciate it.

You may try booting ubuntu from a live disk to run firewater. It may be a pain to set up adb, drivers, and all that on a temporary os but it would rule out any problems with your os environment and cost no more than the blank disk and your time.

IT WORKED!

You may try booting ubuntu from a live disk to run firewater. It may be a pain to set up adb, drivers, and all that on a temporary os but it would rule out any problems with your os environment and cost no more than the blank disk and your time.

This is a great idea all my PC's are running Ubuntu but the one I used to s-off my phone. Its really easy to setup with a USB flasdrive or dual boot without disturbing you current os. Never thought to try Ubuntu lol

Yes, Thanks agian. I totally forgot that I had added that driver to my laptop, I'm installing ViperOne right now. Have you tried the HK exploit yet?

I am trying out the HD revolution Rom.. just got it loaded and it has HK built in going to test out the audio. my favorite roms so far are viper and gpe on the veizon forums. fyi there are other roms on HTC one m8 AS well just make sure it's for all variants.

Sorry I was at work I'm glad someone put the links there though : )

I am loving the ViperOne ROM, I'm downloading the Android Revolution ROM now. You said it has HK Audio enchaments built in?

Tried the revolution Rom but had to come back to viper.. the sound wasn't quite as good with the HK maybe it's just me or my phone.. others say it's sounds better but not to me.

Literally no matter what i do, it fails after the first bottle and tells me it will never ever wok...any ideas?
