ROMS - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am kinda new to all this. I just inherited the thunderbolt from my brother bc my other phone is dead. I am rooted and s-off running santod's Official Thunderbolt ICS deoxed debloated. My question was if I am able to switch to one of the older ROMS like NuSense ROM or UnSense ROM or anyone for that matter that I feel like. I know the process of flashing since I have gotten this far, but I don't want to flash these and then be in some sort of loop with problems.. Thanks in advance:good: Also are radios universal or.. I keep seeing people say just try a different one?

You can flash any ROM you like.
As for radios, look in the post about the ROM, they usually specify what radio is best for that ROM. The newest radio is defiantly needed for the new crop of ICS ROMs based on the official OTA as the older radios cause issues.

Only thing I can add to the first response... Always make a backup first. So when you somehow get into a bad flash/bootloop situation, you have an easy way back to a working device. Also verify your download by checking it's md5 code before you flash. Almost (if not all) files you download will have it listed with the download link on the forum op you're getting it from.

Thanks guys! I'm currently using thundershed v1.6 CM7 bc I am a BIG fan of CM. I have run into some issues with data and wifi though.. All of the sudden they stop working and I have to reboot and then they work again.. Maybe its the phone not sure..

It's not your phone but the Rom itself. That's a known issue with cm roms on this phone.

[RADIO] Newest Radio from Froyo OTA 1/21/2011

Hey guys.... Thanks to a member here at XDA, Krylon360, I have gotten my hands on the unreleased 2.2.1 Espresso OTA and so as usual my first stop in is to provide the new radio update while I sort the patches out and get you guys a stock rooted ROM... So without further chit chat as I got some work ahead of me, heres the new radio update taking baseband to 7.15.35.16.... Havent noticed much change although I have also tested nothing speedwise tbh so I will let you all report back on these things.... Grab the radio update here or here and let me know of any improvements or even negative effects it has caused with data, battery life, wifi, etc.... A CR_Mod stock., rooted OTA will follow shortly and you guys can get your much awaited 2.2.1 Froyo Espresso on early since TMO wants to lag..... Have fun... CR
PS: I did this with an update script rather than an updater script as it was easiest in windows which Im on for the moment... I will convert to an updater script in a little while. What does this mean you ask? It means any of you who have flashed the unsupported as of yet CWM 3.0+ rec images that are floating around will not be able to flash the radio. To fix this, use rom manager to reflash the current supported CWM rec, flash the radio, and if you must, reflash the CWM 3.0+ rec in fastboot.
Flashing!

thank you, flashing now
just flashed over your 2.1 espresso rom and everythings running smoothly, will try speed tests now!!!
I've flashed it, but I'll have to wait till l8r to test it. Sounds like a nice update. Thanks!
Any way you can release the unrooted ota while we wait for it to be rooted?
Holy cow, wasn't expecting this, downloading here in a sec and then flashing!
EDIT: I think I may have experienced a double in downloading speed... But I could just be thinking that's whats going on.
Got to love when ChiefzReloaded popup with a new thread always a something good about to happen or have happen. Will steal my gf phone when she gets back home and try it out.
P.S. only thing i really want from that rom is the call over wifi app
Enjoy guys. I'll keep CR updated if I find anything new.
I was running cm7 but I flashed crmod instead then radio and speeds are soo noticably faster this is awsome

Chiefz, thanks for the radio dump. I flashed via fastboot. Haven't noticed *any* changes whatsoever, though... Not that surprising.
I am, however, most interested in the actual contents of the froyo OTA. Any chance you could put the whole zip up for download before you root it and defang it?
It wont flash on a non rooted phone... It does a version check and it looks for a version we don't even have so it fails.... Im looking for the esprimg that may help the process... Not sure if this is gonna be as easy as last time... CR

Well, at least in *my* case, I only want the zip so I can take it apart and see if I can appropriate the wifi calling bits for CM7. But if you don't want to release it just yet I understand. Thanks for providing the radio at least.
Im not sure what is goin on..i flashed the new radio in recovery..then after it rebooted it still shows 7.09.35.10 as my radio..but i also noticed last night after i flashed build 8 of cm7 it still shows in the phone info as build 7.. am i doin something wrong or is it a bug.

Oh true, mine says that to. I used the mediafire link to download it. Installed in Clockwork recovery. I'm on CM6.1.1
same thing happen to me @ first. I flashed through fastboot using the radio.img... and it worked like a charm...
Second on the raw files in a zip that you have if you can
I flashed this radio so far so good, thank you !!
Will this radio work on ArayrayMod Revamped if so I'll absolutely be flashing asap.

improved Rom

I just updated my vibrant from stock froyo to stock gb via kies factory upgrade.
Here are specifics as is: firmware 2.3.6 baseband t959VUVKJ6 kernel 2.6.35.7-t959VUVKJ6-CL694130 build GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
I went through hell today to root and unlock the sim of this phone as its my first day ever messing with android phones.
I was looking at the wiki for the t-959 roms, the "stable" one is barebones and the "cutting edge" one is CyanogenMod 7.2. Barebones pretty much hints you lose functionality and though the other is apparently great, it isn't "stable" and here and there you read a post here and there of someone having some kind of trouble with a feature that just might have worked with the factory rom.
I don't want to sacrifice factory functionality for a phone that looks good or is too modern for the vibrant to handle, I want a rom where I will have no issues whatsoever with things like mms, camera, ics, gps, wifi / 3g sip w & w/o bluetooth (w sipdroid), tethering, installing to sd, that has a promise of performing well for a good while and ideally for the rest of the life of the phone without having to possibly upgrade again.
It seems my best bet is to either just leave my phone as is or go with barebones and install apps as NEEDED, please help, you learn alot in the forum but also you run across soo many contradictions, alternatives and options that its too confusing and time consuming, really, I just want to do this once, quick and get it over with, bam bam bam, done and hopefully never have to mess with it again until it gets smashed or I loose it.
oh another thing, though this phone is rooted unless I insert an SD I can't browse ANY files, either via its ui or via usb... I have a captivate where I can see both sd internal and external via both ui and usb, I'm assuming its a rom issue that once I upgrade to any rom that will be solved.
Well cm7.2 is based on gingerbread which you said you have. It is pretty stable except for possible GPS and 911 issues. Cm9 is based on ICS, its also pretty stable but same possible issues. CM10 is based on jellybean, its in alpha build but considering its fairly stable except for same two issues. As far as looking at files, you need root browser or root explore. Just DL from market. I'm running Der Teufel's Hellybean cm10 ROM. Its really nice. But you said you want to set and forget....ICZen is a good ICS ROM. Its pretty stable and a lot more up to date than gingerbread.

Seeing that this is your first experience with Android, I would say that you need to make sure that you know what you are doing first before you start flashing anything. I am going to save you some serious heartache in just one minute.
First, Kies is notorious for HardBricking phones. Don't use it. You can use Odin or Heimdall to flash back to "stock" whenever you need to. Always good to do when flashing ROMs to have a clean base to start with. Google them and you will find what you need.
And now, here is where I am going to save you tons of trouble and the painstaking issues that WILL lie in your future. When I say that you need to know what you are doing before you start flashing, here is why. YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIBRANT, so don't flash any Vibrant ROMs to your phone. First we never got an official GB ROM, only Froyo. Second the builds that you put up there are to the SHG-T959V. That is the 4g version. Those ROMs won't work in the Vibrant and our ROMs won't work on theirs. Fortunately there is a forum for those and you will find whatever you need in there.
Good luck and be careful and above all read, read, read.
Hey wood, this is the second person I have seen stating they had stock GB on a vibrant. I thought it was weird. I figure if you are not sure what phone you have or what OS your running you shouldn't try to install custom ROM! Thanks for saving that guy!
drool on my chin from a mouth full of jellybeans
You survived kies. That is awesome. But hellybean is awesome.

THe wiki for this with files neded seems to be mostly dead.
I took my tmo g s 4g and upated it with kies mini. it now has t959vuvkj6-cl694130 and I cannot find how to root but have been reading for daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays
Searching forums is cumbersome at best.
Does anyone know where accurate and fresh data is on how to root and use cm10 or any other help for non experts?
I guess I have to use a pc because there is crap info for mac

Thanks, unfortunately super one click is reported as a virus and also doesn't work on mac.
Personally, I would skip any ICS roms entirely. The risk of getting the EU bug (dead internal memory) isn't worth it. Go straight to JB.

Newb ROM question

Somewhat of an Amaze newbie here, but so far the community and information here have been incredibly helpful, so I'm hoping someone can help with my next question.
I've been thinking about popping my ROM cherry and installing one of the custom ROMs here - more specifically the Energy and/or SpeedROM. I have the latest files for both, am rooted, currently using 4ext Recovery, with S-On. I've already performed a Nandroid and full backup with Titanium Backup, and from what I can tell should be ready to take the plunge. I just wanted to make sure that there isn't anything I'm forgetting or need to know before I take the custom route.
Thanks again for all the hard work and assistance!

Always wipe before install, but you're good.
Lol at popping rom cherry, have fun.
Just make sure your already on the ICS OTA update before installing custom roms. The OTA update updates the radios and some other system partitions that need to be updated prior to ics being installed. Best of luck with everything. I'm on NRG but Speed Rom is about to be I installed soonish.

Cool, I think I have that part covered as I'm currently running ICS 4.0.3, so hopefully that won't prove to be an issue.
One other quick question: Will this affect the Google Play Store? As in, since I would be running an unofficial ROM, would I be unable to connect to the store to download/update apps?

You will still be able to connect to the Play Store.
For some rom, you have to add the APN for data to work.
Since your new at thus don't go with any alpha betas or release clients make sure to go with something pretty stable til u get the hang of this dont wanna brick your phone and not know how to fix it :-\ I bricked my phone like 10 times with some of these roms pretty scary lol. Speed rom 7 is pretty good . If you have any more questions or anything feel free to post or pm me. Good luck

First of all, I'm real sorry to get your hopes up!
The reason for this thread is that I'm hoping a dev would convert this rom so it works on our beloved 7105.
Is it even possible to port this rom over?
Anyway, would love to see it as there's a lack of roms for the 7105 compared to the 7100.
If I'm breaking the rules with this thread I'm really sorry, feel free to close and delete it.

If it's on the A.T&T thread, then you can flash that Rom. Most of the Roms I use are from that Thread. Just make sure you have the right modem. I haven't flashed this particular ROM yet, but I'm getting to it. The new P.A builds have just come out, so I've flashed them this morning to give it a try. Just make sure you have Nandroid and you will be set to go.

Got my Modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031575
Hope this helps. Just make sure you flash the right one of course. I would also recommend Flashing the latest Neak Kernel for AOSP/AOKP Roms. It seems to work the best. Also and off topic here, the latest Roobox Nightly has been released, just search GOOMANGER on your phone. That now has Halo and works really well. The main bug is the Expand screen part doesn't work properly, but everything else is really sweet. The PacMan Rom, the halo still has the SMS bug. If you get a new SMS and you click on it through HALO, it will exit out of the app you were in. So keep that in mind. Going to give the XYELon Rom a go tonight and see how that fairs.

So you say any rom or just certain roms will flash fine on our n7105 providing we ensure to flash the appropriate modem???

Hi there, I've flashed pretty much every ROM that there is on the AT&T section and all have worked. I did flash with the proper modem on all of them. However, that said if most of the time if I didn't flash the latest NEAK kernel then at times I would get no reception at all. With the latest builds of RootBox, and Pacman i didn't bother flashing the kernel and it worked just fine. The T-Mobile Roms just don't work. I've tried to flash a few and they just don't even flash.
However, just keep in mind that some ROMS will change your build.prop like Skynote and Pacman, so you have to edit them. Also with Rootbox, you have to change the MMS.apk as the one built in is buggy. So i usually use the one I've ripped from the P.A builds as they work just fine.
In short. Yes. These do work for the n7105. Just flash the proper modem and you will be set.

If you are using CWM, it always tends to fail on you. I use TWRP and haven't had an issue since. Flash back to a stable ROM and install TWRP through GOO manager. Then flash it using TWRP. Be sure to do a full wipe. Then advanced cache and dalvik cache wipe. Twice for both. That is what I do make sure I have a clean system, then install the Rom, Gapps, Modem, Kernel. Kernel shouldn't be an issue with Pacman. Use the one provided.

I got it up and running. Thanks guys. But I will be flashing something else. This thing is running worse than the stock Rom. My messaging wont even load. It just keeps crashing out. I know there are mixed feelings about CM 10 based Roms and with this i'm gonna have to go with those that want to stay away from them.

aokp isnt a cm based rom its an aosp based rom
You may want to try to download the rom again and reflash. Make sure you see doing a full wipe. You can also get help within the AOKP thread.

Ok. So just to give it a fair chance I went ahead and did a another full data wipe. It is running better. I'm not sure if this has been an issue or even talked about in their thread, and being over 100 pages im not gonna look through it all...lol, But I used TB to restore my apps. no data. Just apps. I am aware that TB can screw up the build.prop on some Roms. So that is the main reason for the second data wipe. To see if that is in fact the cause of it running like crap. I also used sms backup to restore my texts.
And right now my phone is hanging like a ******.....Soooo....It looks like sms backup may be the culprit here. And you guys have to forgive me with all this because I have been out of the game for about a year now. When I first got this Note there were maybe 3 Roms out for it....lol. I am going to give this Rom it's fair run and just keep messing with things because I know all phones are not created equal. And from what I can see all you developers have done amazing work with these Roms.
That's why I'm back. I need to make my old phone new again... I was debating on whether or not to flash the Uber kernel. I know the basics of what a kernel is. But what I don't know is if I flash the kernel do you have to flash the Rom again or does the kernel just change and leave the OS intact?
You can flash the kernel no prob...........can someone tell me why people back up texts ...I don't get the point

And you guys have to forgive me with all this because I have been out of the game for about a year now. When I first got this Note there were maybe 3 Roms out for it....lol. I am going to give this Rom it's fair run and just keep messing with things because I know all phones are not created equal. And from what I can see all you developers have done amazing work with these Roms.
That's why I'm back. I need to make my old phone new again... I was debating on whether or not to flash the Uber kernel. I know the basics of what a kernel is. But what I don't know is if I flash the kernel do you have to flash the Rom again or does the kernel just change and leave the OS intact?

You would not have to flash the rom again .. just the kernel. But the new Uber is for 4.3 and not 4.2 .. so it is not compatible.
The included kernel is built by Fuze to go with this rom.
Just to be sure you get the best experience with AOKP, your wipe should include Dalvik, Cache, Data, and system.
I restore with TiBu all my user apps and selected user app data.
I pretty much run the rom as is out of the box and it is doing a great job on my phone.
Shayne Some people restore texts to not lose certain conversations. That's why I do it. Bubba I am aware of the 4.3 kernel being incompatible. The older versions are however compatible. That's why I was considering it. The problem is, as everyone knows, all phones are the same. So one kernel may run super on your phone but not mine. I just want to get the best possible performance out of this Rom because I do like it. So far it is performing better after the second full wipe.
And by the way. My data connection is WAY better on this Rom than stock.

Glad it's working for ya.
I do have another question about that, or any, kernel. After flashing a kernel is it permanent? As in there is no flashing back to the previous kernel?

Fuze has his posted in the op so you can revert back. Here is a link: Fuze Kernel The only other way would be to make your Nandroid prior to flashing the kernel .. then revert back.
I'm not sure that the Fuze kernel at that link would be exactly the same as the latest release .. he is constantly tweaking it.

I on the other hand come across some of the he said she said moments where information is ammunition and need to prove innocence or guilt on occasion. I don't take a knife to a gun fight.

Lmao captemo. But it is true. Another fine reason to back up your texts. I don't know about you but arguing with a woman and not having the proof to back it up is totally useless.....lol

Arguing with a woman, even with proof is pointless!
