[Patch] Virgin Mobile VM9 Radio Update - Removed.

Re: [Patch] Virgin Mobile VM9 Radio Update - Restored!

Oh, and if anyone wants to play with vendor sources, I have a repo at github.com/tdm/codeaurora_kernel_msm. The original Sprint GB sources are on the vendor-ls670-gingerbread branch. and the thunderc-gingerbread branch is intended to be the working GB branch. Configs are present for VM670 and LS670.

Re: [Patch] Virgin Mobile VM9 Radio Update - Restored!

well here is the fix by thekraven for gingerkernel on IHO. the cam was white screened before the ICS changes and this fixed it. just do a backup and flash in recovery.


EDIT: It fixes the Cam.

It fixes a problem with camera when using GingerKernel on IHO.

If you follow the link I posted in the IHO thread, it takes you to tdm's post with the kernel and patch instructions. If you haven't followed this thread in a while, probably a good idea to read from that post and forward. It's been mostly about the reboot issues caused by ZV9.

For thr issues with the screen not waking up, waking it by holding down the power button seems to work very time, just wait for the power menu to appear and hit the back button to dismiss it.

@cole and others: of course I'm dying to hear your findings with GingerKernel re radio stability; if it matches mine.

Seems good so far, only been running for a day or so though.

Yeah, that is a set of libs (particularly gralloc) that presumably work with the new kernel stuff. I don't know off the top of my head whether the kernel stuff in question is from Sprint or was added by Drew for ICS compatibility. If the changes are from Sprint, updating the kernel would mean also updating these libs. If the changes were added by Drew, then that would not be necessary.

here is where I found out about it. looks like this was before he started iscream kernel.

If you flashed the update-only zip in the first post, it doesn't work. You need to do the full update.zip from Virgin Mobile's website, once in your custom recovery and once in stock recovery that is flashed during the first update.

I wouldn't recommend it at this moment though until the IHO ROMs work with it again. Lots of very smart people are working on it though, so it shouldn't be too much longer I'd imagine. Also, if your reception and data speeds are acceptable at the moment, there's no need to rush.

I'm trying out XioniaRedux kernel in regards to the reboot issues. It's an Optimus S kernel but it boots and runs smooth on the V. Need to swap the keys.

No reboots as of 4/21/2012 12:19PM CST

Thank you Wraith!

I only now got to install this, but it does indeed fix the camera issue on GingerKernel. The only issue I have left is the screen wake-up. As cole posted earlier, you can hold down power which will eventually open the power menu -- but sometimes it blanks the screen again when you release the power button. It is admittedly a annoying, but far better than the radio issues and reboots.

Thanks again all who've been helping with this radio mess. I hope it will lead to a proper ZV9 compatible kernel when we get the ZV9 kernel source from LG -- whether in the form of an updated Froyo kernel or a tweaked GB kernel.

Experienced a single reboot due to SMS after 24 hours.

The update.zip? It might. I think you'd be the first to try. I see no reason why not but for purely safety's sake I'd say use cwm or xionia.

Certainly the radio-only update (the one on the OP) does NOT work with green recovery. Jerry clearly states that it doesn't work with radio images. Just want to make sure you don't try that!

Most evidence points to the update only zip not working at all because our custom recoveries don't contain the code to update the radios / have it disabled.

Agreed. But it still has the effect of bricking phones when flashed with the wrong recovery. I didn't want him to read the OP and make that mistake by flashing it with green recovery.

Re: [Patch] Virgin Mobile VM9 Radio Update - Restored!

Posted this in another thread.

I eluded to the Optimus S problems when they got a radio update. But it wasnt every phone that was affected. Just like the screen maybe there is some various parts like radios and such that are slightly different.
