Somebody please help I downloaded one of the gb hboot so I can download jb roms but all it did was lower my radio the hboot is still 1.57 for virgin mobile did I do something wrong

 

[Brian706]

Hboots are in the second post. You must have downloaded a radio... :/

 

[duecefromcalab]

I downloaded a hboot for 1.50 and put it in my root of sd card when I went in bootloader it didn't work does it mater what radio I use do I need it to be lower to lower the hboot

 

[Brian706]

Sorry, fell asleep last night. It doesn't matter which radio you use. Did you rename the file? Are you following the instructions from post 1?

 

[duecefromcalab]

I actually got it to work I didn't put the . before zip I'm running chameleon 4.2.2 which is sick ass rom Now I have one last question before I make my leap from rookie to pro in this.....if I have hboot 1.50 can I use an ICS radio...... also can I use the sprint 1.58 radio if I have virgin mobile

 

[Brian706]

Yes and yes

 

[duecefromcalab]

Thanks so much man time I am now a pro.....if only there was a Samsung galaxy rom

 

[duecefromcalab]

By the way what do you think is the best radio for virgin mobile

 

[Brian706]

I don't think there really is a best radio for every single person. Some people have luck with certain ones more than others. I think it depends on location and maybe some other things as well. Try them all!

Hey can a ICS kernel be flashed for a Jb kernel and can someone please send me a link to anthrax kernerl or franko kernel for AOKP 4.2.2 having trouble finding them

I don't think so... The mount points are different for Hboot 1.50 and 1.58 and a boot.img designed for 1.58 will not work on 1.50.

I can't help you with a link... You can sign up though at http://anthrax-kernels.us/

 

[duecefromcalab]

I found out how to do it.... I used some flashing kernel app and now I'm good thanks

 

[Thewraith420]

I think i already know the answer but would there be any problems flashing the vm 2.95 base_radio_hboot_firmware on a s-off sprint 3d?

 

[Brian706]

I don't think there would be any real problems. It might break mms but I'm not sure about that.

What is it that you are wanting? Do you need the whole firmware or are you just needing a portion of it?

Also what hoot and rom are you on? If you are running jellybean that will upgrade your hboot and you won't be able to boot up.

Those files can be modified. For example you could remove the hboot from the zip after downloading, or delete everything but the radio for example if you were just looking for the radio.

 

[Thewraith420]

well... here i go again. i just bricked my 2nd 3vo. what i was going for was.. i've been running a sprint 3vo that i flashed to virgin. everything was working fine but i just decided to flash harmonia rom and wanted to complete it by getting the rest of the Evo V firmware and everything on it. checked md5sum before flashing and it checked out fine but after i selected update from the bootloader it went threw the like 3 things OK i seen the orange bar on the top right and then the phone just shut down never to turn back on again. i was running revolutionary hboot 1.40 just like the time i bricked the last one... i think there may be some connection. looks like i'll be sporting my Optimus for a little bit again untill i can afford to get another 3vo.

 

[Brian706]

Dang that's crazy! I'm not sure what would cause that to happen?! What happens if you plug the phone into the pc? Open device manager and plug it in and see if anything shows up.

When I plug it in device manager shows it as... oh what was it .. QHSUSB_DL or something, no red charging light and not detected by adb or fastboot. Same condition as the last one. Unless someone's figured out how to use qpst to write to the phone recently its a paperweight now

Brian706: I'm looking at your radio page, due to very poor signal in my Washington area. When click on download on latest radio, hardware, firmware it says updated on June 2013. My hboot shows have radio 1.09.00.0108, which I understand is the latest. Which did some months back when changed to J-Bear 1.50. hboot. So what is updated on the download?? Is it possible to get better signal on older radio or firmware/hardware.

Can you suggest anything that would improve signal quality. Like today looking at new wallpaper or themes, and I get error that have no connection. Although have Wi-Fi and at least one bar on the 3g or 1x bar. I'm on the MIUI V5 rom.

You are on the latest radio. That is just the day that I uploaded the file to my copy account. the radio itself hasn't been updated, just my download link.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I simply don't have good sprint coverage in my area. Have you tried any of the other radios? You could experiment and see if any give you a slight advantage, but I think in our cases poor coverage is poor coverage.

If you look at their coverage map, the east coast is covered so much more than our area. I've been debating on switching to AT&T for that reason, but I sure like that sprint doesn't enforce a rooting policy.
