Remember that leak...

[k_flan]

That updated everyone's radio and hboot, and then the release ruu came and it was actually a LOWER version number and none of the people who flashed the leaked ruu could flash the release ruu.

I cant remember what phone it was, does anyone remember? Or am I crazy?

Yeah, a leak from Verizon had a ICS Main Ver that messed everyone's main ver up so that they couldn't use the GB RUU. We got around it by changing the main ver via abd and su. What about it?

The fact that if he is right, we would be screwed. Unlike the main ver, the radios are the one portion we cannot, by any means, mess with (and as far as i know, that includes the version). So if they DO pull something like that, we would be SOL...

Sol?! I have made some good connections at my local vzw store... Lol somehow friends make it easier to 'cut-through' the red tape $)

um couldnt we just change the mainver back to something low say 1.00.000.0 then we could ruu (phone thinks it's an update) and it would flash the radio back to how it was... so no we wouldn't be sol im pretty sure

Wouldn't it run into a Hboot older error? The Hboot was updated to 2.21 from 2.11.

 

[k_flan]

If a radio problem is found, no one will be able to change unless a higher version number radio is released that fixes it. Hboot at least has a hope with the EVO 3d method of down grade.

S-On radio and hboot leak flashing is serious business imo.

I think you're thinking of the Eris. I'm pretty sure they had that problem with the 2.1 leak.

Eris has a problem with 2.1 leak yes. I was victim. lol. those who waited.. got root the next week.
us who didn't weer stuck without root, on a leaked firmware that wasn't working well AT ALL

 

[graymonkey44]

So what exactly happened afterwards with the Eris? This is making me a little nervous about updating to the new firmware.

Am I missing something? Can't we just flash an older RUU, which will flash a lower radio version. Then run the update?

I was under the impression that an ruu flashed the radios as well as everything else. Is that not the case?

I'm also afraid something like this could happen. I really hope bout because I'm screaming for ice cream with good radios, I've read that the new radios are really good battery wise.

You cant downgrade the radio with out s-off. You cant just run an older ruu if a problem is found.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of upgrading. Just make sure you understand what your doing.

Can you explain? So running an older ruu doesn't flash the older radio as well.

Because I know it updated my radio when I flashed the leaked ruu.

Thanks for the info.

I remember reading about that when I was on the og droid..thinking that would suck. I've been running this since Friday and if I get stuck on it I am okay with that. I haven't noticed any limitations in my use from stock GB.
There r only do many improvements that can be made, truthfully not sure what more can be done for reception or call quality.

You might get the Rom, kernel, and recovery to flash with/from an ruu, but its not going to downgrade hboot or radio.

If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.

Most people with the eris did warranty or insurance claims. That's what I did

You wouldn't get past the Hboot check. With the new leak, it updated your hboot. It was 2.11 now 2.21. If they left the hboot alone, then maybe, just maybe it would have allowed you to reset the mainver and reflash an older RUU, but that won't now.

Nothing like warranty abuse!
