I want to update my radio so I can install the latest sky raider Rom.I remember reading that once you update the radio you will be stuck with it.My question is if VZW's OTA has a slightly different radio in it will I still be able to install that one.

I'm running CyanogenMod6 Test8 right now, with the 1.X radio. if I update the radio to 2.X, and install the skyraider ROM, what happens if I just get so sick of sense that I go into rom manager and restore to my previous CyanogenMod6 Test8? Will the radio still be 2.X? Would I still be able to switch between ROMs as easily as I do now, only difference being my radio is updated?

There's a way you can use the XM inputs on your stock car stereo to be able to listen to your digital music from that stock head unit.
Bottom line is... you gotta have a car stereo with an XM hookup that is inactive and you don't plan on using it again.
It would take a little digging on your part for your car model...
Mine is a 2006 GMC Canyon. Here is the instructions I used to accomplish this: (Thanks to canyonfans.com ):
---------------
This radio has two buss connectors on the back, the one coming from the XM tuner has 5 wires going to it. They are purple, bare(wrapped with tape), black/white (common), brown/white (left channel), and green/white (right channel). Since I never intend to subscribe to XM radio (the following procedure will disable the audio channels coming from the XM tuner) I tied my mini-stereo jack into this connector.
Remove the connector from the back of the radio and cut the black/white, brown/white, & green/white wires. Cap each of these wires that go back to the XM tunner (hidden elsewhere in the vehicle). On the connector side you simply connect the left channel from the Ipod to the brown/white wire, the right channel to the green/white wire and the common for both channels to the black/white wire. Plug the connector back into the radio.
Now plug the the stereo mini-jack you just wired to the connector to the headphone output on the Ipod. Tune the radio to either XM1 or XM2 band and you will hear the Ipod if it's on and playing. I didn't see the need for a line-input signal booster either, it was plenty loud.
------------
So what I did was take a 3.5 mm stereo jack (obviously the one that fits the incredible.
See the wikipedia article for pin out info for the 3.5 mm plug: TRS connector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basically its like:
Plug XM Stereo Bus Connector
tip ........................... Left Channel ........ brown/white
ring .......................... Right Channel ...... green/white
sleeve ...................... Common Ground .. black/white
After cutting the 3.5 stereo wire, there'll be 2 insulated wires, and a whole bunch of strands... the bunch of strands is ground (sleeve). There was a red and white wire, the red if I recall was LEFT, and the White wire was obviously right.
Simple 10 minute solder job, and voila! MP3 music, pandora, radiotime.com , etc whatever... from your incredible right through your stock XM equipped car stereo!
Your mileage may vary, I accept no responsibility for you blowing up your stereo, or worse, your incredible, ipod, or other cell phone...
Just saying, it worked like a champ in my case!
I'm trying to install the latest maps update and it seems stuck on "starting download". It's gone on way beyond the time needed for the previous download/upgrade.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI successfully installed version 1.6 but was having trouble connecting my wifi. I did a factory reset and tried to re-install the ota- radio-2_22_19_26i.zip. After copying it to update.zip on the sd card and booting it would begin the install process. Verified ok. Install started but then I got the "installation aborted" message. Tried several times with no luck. I tried the recovery image process update and it seemed to work.
Questions:
Did the abort occur because the radio update was already done?
Did I actually update the recovery image if the radio update failed?
I have a G1 Dev Phone. I am unable to install the 1.6 radio update from this page: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html The file name is: ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip I push it to the phone as update.zip, do a shell sync, wait 5 minutes, reboot into recovery mode, press alt+L, then alt+S. I get:
-- Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... Installing update... Installation aborted.
While it says "Verifying update package..." a progress bar slowly grows in the background. When it gets to about 50%, the next 2 messages appear and then I'm back to the system recovery menu.
Why are there no error message? What am I supposed to do now?
I have tried a factory reset. I have tried redownloading the package and doing all the steps again. My phone still works, but I no longer get 2G (I'm on an AT&T carrier with a SIM from an iPhone, so I have never gotten 3G). WIFI and making/receiving calls still works, just no 2G
I saw the forum thread here: Cant root, is it the latest ota software update? I can't seem to use any apps that require root access after android update earlier this week. I have an HTC Incredible, 2.2, rooted with un revoked. I can't seem to re-root it either. Not sure if this is to do with the update or not.

I'm running frankenrom 5 if it matters and I'm new to rooting and stuff so I'm probably making a simple mistake.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPlease note that this can and will void your warranty and while no ill effects have been suffered, I nor this forum can be held responsible with what you decide to do with your phone. Use at your own risk! Warning! Under no circumstance should you reapply this patch over itself. I have seen two phones die over this. Dead as in, no power, no charge, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Go directly to jail! I also recommend that you Do Not accept any official OTA while running this leak. It could lead to the same end result. Instead, its best you root, downgrade the HBOOT, and reflash with an RUU. First of all, make sure you are not rooted. So this means you will need to use an RUU (ROM Update utility) to revert your phone back to stock. You can get it from here:
http://tinyurl.com/22rotth
Run through the RUU. If you run into trouble with usb connection errors, or other troubles, you can try these suggestions. Having troubles with the RUU giving connection errors? Do this.
Go to start, and in the search/run box, type
%temp%
Delete all that you can. Make sure the RUU is not running in the background. Now run the RUU again. Once it starts to the first screen, it has extracted the files to the temp directory. You can then copy them to a safe place. It will be a long winded numbered folder, with a similar subfolder. Once you have copied it to a safe place, you can then copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and adbwinapi.dll from the latest SDK into it, overwriting the older copies. Then start the RUU by executing ARUWizard.exe. This fixed the problem for me.
Otherwise, you can also use the extracted files to create an image that HBOOT can load. Search for rom.zip in those files and rename it to PB31IMG.zip and put it on your sdcard. Turn off your phone and then hold DOWN volume and power to get into the HBOOT screen. Let it scan through the files and when it asks to run update, say yes and let it do its thing. It will reboot at least once during update. Once you are back to stock, you can now provide the leaked update. MD5 hash is 68518f450fd4b15c696441f5f93deff4. Link can be found here:
dinc_ota.zip
or
http://www.4shared.com/file/ON3qK3n0/dinc_ota.html
Copy this zip file to your sdcard, renaming it to update.zip. Now power down your phone. Hold DOWN volume and power to get to HBOOT. It will do its scanning thing. If you still have the RUU on there, say NO to updating and NO to rebooting. Once you get to the menu with fastboot, recovery, etc. choose Recovery. This will boot you to the stock recovery with an image with an! Hold UP volume and hit power. This will take you into the recovery menu. Choose apply update.zip, navigating with volume keys and hit the power button. Let it do its thing. It will then say reboot to finish. Navigate to reboot and hit the power button. Let it finish. It will reboot several times during the update.
That's the easy part of installing it. You can also root it with unrevoked tools (3.1 is the latest). Having Market Issues?
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/125451-market-fix-leaked-ota.html
It is recommended you do NOT install any third party kernels until new source has been released.
Going back is NOT as easy and I will list this in another thread located here:

What the title says basically. I'm rooted and on 2.1, and was wondering what would happen if I install the upcoming OTA 2.2 update. Should I unroot it first?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI promise i searched, but from my phone it's a bit limited. I manually updated to 2.2 at the end of August. However, earlier this week, I got the following message from Verizon. Should I pursue it, or will it brick my phone? If I don't do this, I'll likely hard reset my phone. I've been having a few hicups lately. Nothing to write home about, but still annoying. I've read that some suggest a hard reset after updating due to similar situations.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got an HTC Raider on the weekend, and while using the 3G/4G/LTE networks, it's amazing. Super fast and wonderful. Also, generally, while using wifi it's the same thing - fast and works perfectly.
However, when I'm at work, and I connect to the wifi network at my office, it will typically only work for 3 or 4 minutes, and then just stops working. It still displays maximum signal strength, but won't load any page on the internet, and any apps that send/receive data do not work. My work computer is also on the same wifi network and it always works no problem, so I know the wifi network is fine.
I was attempting to install the latest Cog and now the phone is stuck on a screen with a little white phone ---an exclamation point---and then a little white PC.
