[Q] Is it necessary to wipe all data and cache for flashing the radio - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
my device is HTC Legend, and it has a CyanogenMod 7 Stable version ROM, but the GPS is not working And the solution for this problem was to flash another radio version than the existent one. My question is
"Is it necessary to wipe all data and cache for flashing the radio?" or simply I do it without wiping? and if I didn't wipe the cache and the data what will happen?
please if anyone know the answer tell me.

This is my first android device from HTC, but with all mobile devices with Windows on it, i'd never had to clear any cache.
The rom is located on another part of the memory than the storage part where the OS is installed.
Your post is from 2 or 3 weeks ago, i wonder if you found the anser somewhere else?

No, you don't need to.
But nevertheless: Always do a NAND and store with Titanium etc. (of course no effect on what is changed by the radio)

May I add : No, you don't.
Backup. Import. Enjoy.

Thank u all for answer I will write about the result when i do it

You only have to do a nand, und you dojt have to clear any chache, because the radio is saved on the system partition.

I looked all the first page and it's not solved my problem

witch stable did you flash, 3 versions of cm7 stable mod. try to flash the latest (7.0.3 ) and the latest radio ( the bell one) just after (before you reboot.)
if i remember well, i think there's problem off GPS navigation with the stable issues.

Not able to use CDMA WS after new RoM flashing

Have checked in device manager the correct port and CDMA WS connects to the port but not able to read from phone ?
Pl help.Due to this i am not not in a position to dump the new PRL update file / NV Dump file after flashing with new RoM

Same issue was there when i flashed Roms using KS (tried CNA,CM9) and tried MUI Rom also still not use. But i was able to use it on stock RoM
If you are getting the force close upon the phone starting resulting in no service, this is normal with the ICS based roms. The last rebase joker did was on version 3.1. Installing anything after that only once will cause this issue. You can do one of three things to remedy this...
1: Use the Kitchen Sink Rom
2: Flash .3.1 first, then the latest version.
3: Flash the latest version, then immediately flash it again. Then install your gapps.
Also, make sure you have Jokers CWM.
Same issue
I was having the same issue, except right when my phone booted up it kept giving me the message that android.process.phone has stopped working, and it wouldn't let me connect to the mobile data network either.

thanks got it.
I just spent the last 6 hours figuring this out and go figure it would be in the Q&A section... Did a fresh stock flash, factory wipe, format cache, dalvik and system. Installed .3.1. Then ONLY wiped the dalvik cache and upgraded to the 6.1 i would stop getting the com.android.phone FC. If i did the factory wipe it would start FCing again.

Few Questions guys

Ok so i am noob with Samsung and dealing with flashing and all these stuff, i just switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, i have read so many posts and watched so many videos, all what i want is some clarification
1* I have managed to download CM 9.0.0 for my phone and installed it through ROM Manager , i have noticed that my Data service is not working, am living in Kuwait "Middle East" the wifi is working fine no issues and i enabled the Data Service through the settings, how can i fix the issues with the data plan although it is working fine after i restored to my stock ROM
2*Can u tell me what the use of the Odin except rooting and installing a stock Firmware ?
3* correct me if i am wrong but the ROM will only do some sort of interface for the phone , as we say in IT "GUI" of course not to forget to mention the speed and tweaks for hardware of the device it self, i mean it is not a complete OS "Firmware" mostly GUI with Tweaks.
4*While doing the installation of the ROM and remove it and getting back to my stock ROM , nothing from my data has been changed, does that means every time i install any ROM and get back to the old one my data will not be effected on the stock ROM?
5* what would happen if i tried to install a ROM not compatible with the firmware i have ? and how would i fix that ?
6*How can i tell if the ROM is compatible with the firmware i have? , for example in my case i downloaded CM 9.0.0 for my S3 which has 4.0.4 firmware
7* I have understand that the ROM must be compatible with my phone version , what i mean with version like International version or US carriers versions, am i Right?
Am sorry asking too many questions,I tried my best to make the questions with yes or no answer, and incase you would like to write more please do
answering me those questions will help me alot, i have been reading so many posts and it is making me go insane
Thanks so much in advance :angel:

4 all your data will be there unles you do a full wipe in recovery which is recomended before installing any ROM.
5 A ROM isnt specific to your firmware.If you have an international version which is GT I9300 Or GT I9300T any ROM from the I9300 threads will work. Dont flash anything made for the non international versions

You do a full wipe. A full wipe is always recommended to prevent some weird bugs.

[Q] No data on [4.1.2]AOKP for Photon Milestone 1 (10/29/12)

Yeah, if you had searched the AOKP thread you would have found that this was an issue with Th3Bill's first release of the MS1 AOKP rom. you have to nandroid back to your last version of AOKP (always backup before flashing a new rom) and then re-install the NEW version he has up on GOO.

Will it work if I flash the older version, since I don't have a backup of this specific rom, and then flash the newer one on top of that?
And which older version should I use?
If you flash an older version it will still have the borked radios. I think the only option you have at this point is to flash back to stock and start over.

You don't need to go back to stock. Just flash the new rom that works. The updated rom is great. Use SMS Backup so you can keep your txt messages.

It worked great, compared to stock rom wich is a potato,.... but now I´ve losed my paradise :crying::crying::crying::crying:

yesterday nigth I reflashed v 2.0 and after 2.0.1, it became to normal .... wifi was all rigtht and DSC apps also were allright.
but "battery counter" did not work properly (it was full charged and showed just 1%) and some apps like "ES file explorer" did not work with root privilegies, I reflashed superuser zip, and after every thing including battery counter were fixed"""
You should always flash updates on full charge, that'll get rid of 1% problem.

I've tried to update DSC 1.7 to 2.0 than 2.2, everything is ok.
After flashing updDSCv2.2-PDroid.zip, system hangs on boot animation.
Using nandroid back to 2.2(no PDroid), system is no problem.
How to fix it? Thanks!
Have you flashed PDroid for 2.0 first?
I understand that's not clear, but you should flash 2.0, then 2.0's Pdroid, then 2.2 with PDroid.

Steps for DSC 2.2 with PDroid

3) Flash updDSCv2.2-PDroid.zip
4) Wipe cache partition, dalvik, fix permissions
5) Reboot

Recently, my phone has been restarted many times. Trying to solve it by reflashing DSC 2.3, but it remains. I flashed the baseband back to 407, it works!
Now it works like a charm but loudly...

[BASEBAND] Collection of Basebands for GT-I8730/T Models

Hello everyone. I came up with the idea of making a colletion of basebands for I8730/T Models. I already have some installers scripted, with the basebands we most use. These zip files are flashable using a custom recovery You can expect some Odin flashable archives too sometime, as they are easier to make
I recommend using TWRP that you can find here (Now it is officially supported -> try this one)
Many thanks to @kotzir for this amazing version, I do not take credit of making TWRP, all goes to @kotzir
I8730:
I8730XWAMK1 (Our CM project is based on this one)
I8730XWANE1 (The last one ever made, also works with CM Project)
I8730XWAMC2
I8730XWAMD1
I8730XWAMI1
I8730XXAMB8
I8730XWAMB7
I8730T:
I8730TDUAMD2 (The only made for this phone, for Vodafone Australia)
Odin Flashable (with Bootloader updates) - These include bootloader pieces, and in my tests they didn't increase binary count
I8730XWAMK1 (Our CM project is based on this one)
I8730XWANE1 (The last one ever made, also works with CM Project)
These are flashed in PDA (or AP) button of Odin, not Bootloader button. If you do this in bootloader button, you will brick your phone
Custom Odin version for our phone -> here

Hey, I'm using CM 11 on my GT-I8730, the messages and phone calls are allright but I'm having problems with my GPS. Do you think that installing a baseband would be useful? If yes do I need to wipe my data and everything before installing it or I can install it without wiping anything? And which baseband would be the best?
Thanks a lot for the good work

Not really... Basebands are only radio images for the cellular data, not even wifi uses them. You can try to do it
I will recommend I8730XWAMK1, the first one on the list

Our roms are made for I8730XWAMK1, I know some brazilian users who flashed I8730XWAMK1 and can get it to run there. I know that most European countries share similar basebands. Baseband is just a "firmware" for the cell phone radio (not FM radio, but cellular data radio). Flash it, you can flash it before the rom, between rom and gapps, or after. It doesnt really matter, since it is a different part of phone But before flashing, please tell me your current baseband, so I can make an installer for it, in case something goes wrong
Um abraço

The GPS has nothing to do with Basebands. This is part of integration in the ROM, if you are using Ressurection Remix like me, GPS never worked. In CM13 builds, GPS worked before 08/07/2016, I believe
Bootloaders
Released I8730XWAMK1 and I8730XWANE1 odin tarballs. These include bootloader files and they don't increase flash counts You can update your bootloader, but this will also update your baseband, so be careful
I understand the I8730XWAMK1 is recommended to get rid of the "Fast sound" issue, but is it not specific to some region(s)?
I'm in the Netherlands (Western Europe), does that matter?

Pardon for very late reply, yes they do fix the problem. I8730XWANE1 or I8730XWAMK1 should work fine.
Hey guys!
I am a happy user of CM13 on our phone, everything is working fine, thanks for all the great efforts!
However, when I try to switch to the new LineageOS system, the voice during calls will get az echo effect and also the mobile data connection is not working. I've flashed several baseband images (including I8730XWAMK1 and I8730XWANE1), even unrelated ones, but no success. Now I'm on CM13 with I8730XWAMK1, and it is perfect. I am from Hungary on the carrier named Telenor.
I would be very happy to use the latest LineageOS on my phone, but this annoying thing prevents me from it.
Do you have any clue about this?
Cheers!
