i recently loaded my triumph with cherry mobiles magnum hd gingerbread software. the phone works great but is there a way i can get the radio to work.. by radio i mean the calling radio like not the fm radio but the actual radio to work? it seems like the software i loaded is for a gsm phone because it lists an imei number?? btw the hotspot activates flawlessly on gingerbread..the built in fm radio does not work it only picks up static..but other than not being able to connect to a cell tower it works just fine...will be uploading pics soon... is there a cdma gingerbread that i can install because im really sure cherry mobile magnum hd is a gsm phone because the phone is asking for a sim card?? but the o.s works beautifully on the triumph..

No information on radio, but there is no FM radio chip built into the triumph.

yes it is somewhat functional everything else seems to work except the cell phone cdma radio and the fm radio (no hardware support aka not installed) so you can use the wifi to do stuff and both ffc and rear camera work.. at first my phone would just cycle boot ( keep restarting) so i just formated the memory and the cache in the menu where u hold down all buttons.. i just unzipped the file and put it in the sd card and renamed it (i forgot but it says when you try to load it on the phone)..

if you want the links i have to message them to you because...

Oh boy..... ok, time for me set up an Android development environment over here and start ripping this apart to see if I can find the correct missing pieces and play "splicer".

MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS ALMOST OR FULLY CHARGED BEFORE BEGINNING

1.DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE FROM:
http://www.cherrymobile.com.ph/downloads/MAGNUM_softwareupdate2.zip

2.EXTRACT IT TO YOUR DESKTOP

3.THERE WILL BE A FILE NAMED FB0-318B-0-5019-A01.nb0 CHANGE IT TO firmware.nb0

4. AFTER THE FILE WAS CHANGED FROM FB0-318B-0-5019-A01.nb0 TO firmware.nb0 COPY IT TO YOUR SD CARD (DO NOT PLACE IN A FOLDER)

5.AFTER YOU DO THAT TURN PHONE OFF.. PRESS POWER,VOLUME UP AND DOWN AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL PHONE SCREEN SHOWS THE MOTOROLA EMBLEM..

6.NOW WHEN YOU GET INTO THE MENU PRESS BACK OR HOME TO SHOW OPTIONS.. USE VOLUME BUTTONS TO GET TO THE LAST ONE IT SHOULD SAY INSTALL OR DOWNLOAD .NB0 FILE.. CLICK ON THAT ( I THING PRESS HOME TO ENTER OR POSSIBLY BACK SORRY I FORGOT).

7. AFTER YOU PRESS ON DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL NB0 FILE IT SHOULD HAVE A CIRCULAR GREY THING ON THE SCREEN (THE SAME KIND OF ICON WHEN GOOGLE SYNC'S ON YOUR PHONE BUT BIGGER) IT TOOK ME ABOUT 5 MINS..

8. AFTER THAT THE SCREEN SHOWED MY PHONES INFO AND WARNED THAT MY BATTERY WAS LOW I JUST TOOK OUT THE BATTERY AND RESTARTED IT..

9. THE PHONE WAS STUCK IN A CYCLE IT KEPT RESTARTING AFTER SAYING MAGNUM HD ON THE SCREEN..SO I REPEATED STEPS 5-8..A FEW TIMES
WITH NO SUCCESS..

10. IN THAT MENU WHERE U PRESSED DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL NB0 FILE THERE ARE TWO OPTION IN THERE THAT ARE LIKE WIPE CACHE AND FORMAT PARTITION SO I DID BOTH OF THOSE (NO SPECIAL ORDER) RESTARTED AND I THING IT DID THE SAME THING JUST KEPT CYCLING..

11. SO I DID STEPS 5-8 AGAIN AND IT MAY HAVE BOOT CYCLED LIKE 3 TIMES BUT AFTER THAT IT BOOTS GREAT..

THE PHONE BOOTS UP AND SHUTS DOWN PERFECTLY SO THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A TEMPORARY THING..

I WANTED TO DISPLAY MY TRIAL AND ERROR TO HELP YOU OUT.. NOW I DIDN'T TRY IT ANY DIFFERENT WAY SO IM JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I DID BECAUSE IT WORK FOR ME..

WARNING:NOW BY DOING THIS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE CDMA RADIO WILL NOT WORK (BECAUSE THE FIRMWARE IS FOR A GSM PHONE) ... BUT WIFI SEEMS TO WORK..BOTH CAMERAS WORK FINE...THERE IS NO BUILT IN RADIO IN THE TRIUMPH BUT THE FIRMWARE SUPPORTS ONE ( ALL YOU GET IS STATIC SO ITS PROBABLY THE MAGNETIC SENSOR IN THE PHONE).. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT OCCUR TO YOUR PHONE..

ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK.. I WANT TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME REALLY SMART PEOPLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE THE CDMA RADIO WORKING.. SO IT WILL BE PERFECT..

This is truly good news - definitely a step in the right direction! I don't care about CM7 - I just want a vanilla GB ROM!

FWIW, CM7 is basically a vanilla GB ROM.

To the OP:

Are you able to flash back to the original ROM? I'm hesitant to flash it as I don't know what the nb0 file contains. It might change partitions on the phone that I don't want it changing.

I'd like to extract the nb0 file to see what's in it. I don't know how it's done on Linux. However, if you can give me a nandroid backup of the GB ROM, I can extract the system and boot images.

i have found a few stock roms but haven't installed them because i use my other triumph to download them and trying to download 71.6mbs with sprints 3g is not so easy but i will start downloading and give it a try...also i have not done anything else to the phone except root it (when it had stock rom on it) but now i dont think that matters... what is the menu called when you hold down all the buttons i keep forgeting the name? i think there is a custom one but i haven't installed it yet... is a nandroid backup when i go in download mode and copy files? specifically what files? thank you

i will try and set the phone back to stock.. and try the cherry mobile gingerbread rom to see if it works

No, you'll have to install CWM. Download the file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16248758&postcount=428

Follow these instructions: http://androidforums.com/3016785-post115.html

Once you've accomplished that, make sure the GB ROM is still installed and run a nandroid backup. Upload the system.img and boot.img files.

    A few other OEM ROMs and tools are available here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1985476

    Kernel Source and a few other items for the Non-Motorola variant of the Foxconn FB400 can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/FB400

    Not sure if that source will help us at all, but it might!
