Root HELP! Weird Radio Problem

Ok thanks so much!....last question though i promise (at least i think ha)..does my current radio or recovery matter when flashing these files?
 
:D all is good, let us know once you are done tomorrow hope you can get your phone running right or a replacement without any issues
 
ugh I think I was never meant to unroot my sd card..im trying everything I know to do to make it work :(. I'm going back to the old style of transferring it over via my CPU, but every time I do that, it ends up not showing up on my sd card...I'm gonna call it quits here shortly
 
Try renaming it on the CPU and sending it to the root of the SD, once it is on there (verified by the CPU) boot into hboot and let it flash
 
If you can't then no, best case scenario you get unrooted, worst case you get bricked and have to file an insurance claim
or get to try to be real sneaky with your warranty use "the phone just won't boot I don't know why..." (I didn't tell you to do that ;))
as it stands right now if you need to have the phone replaced rooted you have to file an insurance claim as your warranty is void

hmm thats a pretty big risk to take..I don't know If I'll do that or not
 
Yeah I know it is, luckly I think if it does eff up on the first flash you should be able to boot into hboot still and flash a recovery and rom. You may need a card reader to get the recovery zip on the card however.

I think I'm just going to stay where I'm at..I'm on CM7 right now, with like the 2nd gb leak radio i think, and it is working alright at the moment, and it has since yesterday. But I have a feeling as soon as I turn 4g on its going to mess up again..so I'm going to just stay right where I'm at for now, not use 4g, and go from there....I need a phone to use during the day and If I bricked it with the flash, I would be royally screwed, and have no idea what to do, and not have a phone :(...a half working phone is better than a not working phone I guess :/
 
:eek: I think you have some hardware issues if your SD isn't mounting right and your LTE radio is effed up, you should be able to get a warranty replacement

How do I go about doing this?? I would do anything to get a warranty replacement without having to go through the unroot process..
 
it would involve unrooting unless you want to test the update from droid life, then I would just flash the stock rooted rom and uninstall SU

Ugh i guess theres no way around unrooting then :( I'm still just scared about flashing those files.
 
i know but if that did happen, I would have no idea what to do next..what are the chances it would happen anyway? and why would it happen?
 
If you have the proper file on your CPU and rename it then put it on the root of the SD the chances of it happening seem very low unless there is a problem with writing it on your SD.

If you brick but can boot into hboot you just need to get a flashable recovery onto the root of the SD and flash it in hboot, then boot into recovery and flash a rom.

If you brick but can't boot into hboot then you need another phone to call VZW or the insurance company

Ok..now to make sure my SD card will work, should I format it again? I have a spare 16 gB one that I could just format or something ..would that work? Or would that problem happening not have anything to do with my SD
 
It could be the SD, I would suggest using the spare, put the zip on it, go ahead and put a flashable recovery on the other if you don't have a card reader that isn't the phone
