I have extracted the .zip from the newest AT&T RUU. I was hoping someone could make a TWRP flashable ZIP out of these. some people would like to run the stock rom and be on the latest available.
I have looked and i dont know where to look to find info on how to do the work. so I was hoping someone would be able to stepup and help out.
here is the extracted rom.zip from the RUU. There is 2 so i grabbed them both. the smaller one seems to have only the HBoot.img but feel free to look as well.

I'm a little paranoid, want to make sure I can get back to Stock ROM if I need to.
I downloaded it from the forums. I have a Rogers i727R. The file is called SGH_I727R-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar.
Looking at it with 7zip, it contains 3 files, boot.img, recovery.img and system.img.ext4.
Is this what should be there?
Yeah. You need to flash that tar file with Odin

Hey All,
This is my first post, and yes i have searched around xda to find an answer to my question, but nothing seems to suite exactly the response i am looking for, or better yet a solution.
I am currently trying to flash a custom rom however the rom comes packed with a radio in itself for my NEXUS S I9020A
My question is, I am satisfied with the radio i currently have, is there a possibility to flash a rom without the radio?
I tried unzipping the ZIP file and deleted the radio.img file that was in it. And re-zipped the file using my OSX standard zipping utility. However when i load it up and flash it through CWM, it says installation failed.
Any ideas or suggestions on how i could flash a rom by rezipping a ROM without radio?
i radio a required in order to make call and for data connection. why do you want a rom without radio?

Most likely because he is trying to flash a rom that contains a radio that is not compatible with his phone. If the rom does not contain a new radio, the old one remains on the phone.
A lot of people are doing this to get ICS on their 9020a using a modified rom from the 9020t (minus the radio).

Instead of messing with the custom rom zip file, why don't you just get the correct radio for your Nexus S I9020A phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 then put both the rom zip file & radio zip on your sd-card & just flash the rom first then radio whilst in cwm recovery!?
Yeah, I know that there's ROM index, but I couldn't find any working link there.
So, if anyone has flashable .zip of pre-rooted stock Sense? 2.10.401.9 preferrably
And one more quick question - will it be able to update officially?
RUU exe installers don't seem to work, they wipe all data and then give me error
If you can tell me how to install it properly, I'll be very thankful

An official update does not depend solely on the ROM you use but also the bootloader and the recovery. If you have revolutionary bootloader and a custom recovery (which you're likely to have if you're able to flash a ROM anyway) then you're likely to get stuck in a bootloop if you use an ota update.

I installed cleanRom about a year ago and my reception got a lot worse, so today I installed cyanogenmod 10.2.1 (the latest stable release). Did these custom ROM's update my baseband as well? What is the best baseband for HTC One X Rogers.
I downloaded the OTA from Rogers OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j and extracted the Radio from it. Can I flash it to my phone now, and the reception will go back to normal?
Thanks
Flashing a ROM doesn't change your baseband/radio, if you want to change your radio you must do it manually. Radio performance can vary wildly from user to user as it depends on carrier, exact geographical location, environmental disturbances, among other factors. Someone in the same suburb (even street) as you can have a very different experience on the exact same radio. What I'm saying is you need to test for yourself. You don't need to stick to your carrier's radios, you should test a variety of radios and see what works best for you.
You can't just extract it from a firmware zip and flash it though, it must be put into a flashable zip first. Click the resource link in my signature, in that thread you'll find a link to the radio thread, where you'll find many radios which you can test until you find the right one for you.

I've been there
I had a lot of trouble with radio.
I tried maybe 8 different radios, old and new ones.
I kept getting phone.androind.com forcecloses, on either Sense and AOSP ROMs, until I flashed this firmware 5.14.61.2-3.17.61.1 now reception is good and no more forcecloses
I found it on this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553824
You need to flash it with fastboot
reboot the phone in bootloader and then type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If it asks you to doi it again enter
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
again
I was running CM 12.1 on my N5 and wanted to give stock 6.0 a try so I flashed the factory image using the meathod in this article.
'androiding.how/marshmallow-rom-nexus-5-recovery-flashable/'
Have no problems and everything seems to be normal. However, I did want root access so I was going to follow the method described in that article which mentioned using fastboot to load a new boot.img. All I had to do was boot into TWRP flash the hellscore Kernel, then flash Superuser SU2.46.
However all the threads on this forum suggest that rooting marshmallow should not be this easy and requires a new boot.img ect......Am I missing something?

The thing is, u need a kernel built for M that allows root access, something like HellsGod, the kernel that is packaged with XtraSmooth. I'm on the Nexus 6 running M and this is what did to achieve root access, I flashed XtraSmooth ROM thru twrp, downloaded 6.0, extracted the system, bootloader, and radio from the factory image and flashed them using fastboot, then I booted back into twrp and flashed SuperSU v2.50, u don't wanna use 2.46, it will bootloop, now I'm on M, rooted and loving it

And it's always been that easy to root Nexus devices, that's what they're for, is primarily a developers phone, so they make it easy cut devs

Thanks for the input, however I am still unsure why you need to use fastboot to load the bootloader and radio? I downloaded the zip files and used TWRP and it worked with no issues? and I did not get stuck in a boot loop using SU2.46?
I guess I am wondering if the update I flashed from the posted article was infact a full version of Marshmallow or just the preview since I did not need to use fastboot, and SU2.46 worked fine? at this point I am under the assumtion I did not go back to full stock 6.0 when I flashed the update.
The kernel you flashed (also known as a boot.img) was modified to allow root. It is no more complicated than that. If you didn't have a nice twrp zip file to flash (hell's kernel) you could have used fastboot to flash the kernel(boot.img) instead. Also, because you used a rom that was packaged as nice twrp flashable zip file you didn't have to use fastboot to flash the bootloader and radio, etc...it was in that rom zip file. You can use 7-zip or winrar to browse it and you can see all the files that zip flashed for you if you want.
This is why a lot of times after a new version of android drops the Q&A gets loaded with people asking for a stock flashable zip of the roms. It's just an easy way to upgrade without having to use fastboot which seems to be difficult for a lot of people to grasp.
Marshmallow cannot be rooted without a modified kernel right now so maybe that's what people mean by it"s "hard" to root marshmallow? Who knows. I thought it was easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Awesome. That is kinda what I thought but I just wasn't sure. it seemed too easy. I know enough to follow steps with out bricking my phone, and how to get out of a bootloop, but some of the finer details are still greek to me. I appretiate your input.:good:

I looked at that site you linked and it is possible you are still using the old radio and bootloader. It seems they had separate zip files for those things. The old ones might work with marshmallow though, I am not sure. You can go into your settings and look to see if the radio you have is up to date. Did you flash both of those zips or just the rom? The current one is baseband version M8974A-2.0.50.2.27. If yours is older you could flash that bootloader/radio zip file they have on that site. However, if your phone is working properly and you get good signal and everything there is not really any need. (I honestly can't remember if the bootloader and radio files can be included in flashable rom zips since I always update that stuff using fastboot, lol. Now that I think of it I don't think radios are typically included when people develop roms. I am trying to think back to when I flashed cyanogenmod like over a year ago... Either way it seems you get the idea of what to do.)
