thanks, i'll stick to DM just in case lol... What can we use from the 9500 OS? I'm intrigued.. i'm gonna load the new radio file and come back to see what ur up to lol

[Sith_Apprentice]

this will be a seperate post. Keep in mind this has a very HIGH chance of bricking your phone. But you can use any OS on your device for the 9530 or 9500. I will probably have it up by the end of the weekend.

Great post! I just made a hybrid os for my bold using the radio code from .210 which has been the best with MY phone and installed the official .216 works perfect. Note I tried doing mixing 210 with the latest 234 and it gave me an error.

I will update the first post. I am willing to bet that it has to do with the PL versions more than the App versions. But i havent found a way to really test other than trial/error.

.228 would probably work in .234

I wish I could get this to work for me and my wife. For some reason it just isnt working for me.

[Sith_Apprentice]

What combination are you using and what devices

Thanks for your assistance Sith.

I have a 9530 I have both OS's loaded up (.90 and .99). I moved the rim0x04001404.sfi from .90 CDMA to .99 CDMA. then I opened up DM and it did it's little thing asking to downgrade and I selected no and that was it. I did a battery pull and waited 20-30 minutes but still stuck on edge and still havent see EDGE.

[Sith_Apprentice]

Take the code from .90 and put in .99. Use Apploader and it will say its downgrading core components, this is true. Dont use DM.

Beautiful.....I got it now I just need to get my browser back.


Thankx again Sith!

Sith,
When you moved the radio file over from .90 did you get any carry overs from .90 as well? I followed your instructions and I now have the larger home screen fonts and larger keyboard fonts from .90 showing up in my.99 install. Did I muck something up? I followed your directions precisely.

EDIT: OK, I just read the messages above (written after I updated), and I did use DM, not apploader. It still said it was downgrading core apps, and when I viewed the details, it showed the radio file being downgraded to .90, but all other modules remaining as .99. Could it have been DM causing this?

[StormChaser77]

Thanks, excellent write up!

[Sith_Apprentice]

Thank you much. And DM will usually make things more complicated.

[kokuryuha]

Just wanted to be sure, but I had recently downgraded to .75 from .99 because of similar problems. If I want to go back to .99 and try this hybrid, am I able to do this and do the regular DM upgrade without problem?

[Sith_Apprentice]

You can do DM yes, but Apploader is much faster/easier

Alrighty, thanks a bunch. Hopefully this will fix the issues I had!

[Sith_Apprentice]

please let us know how it goes.

Is this mostly for those that are using the Storm unlocked on an EDGE network?

I haven't really noticed much problem with Data on Verizon.

Any Verizon people out there notice problems with .99 compared with .90 in terms of data connectivity?

Either one. Just depends on which technology you're using; CDMA or GSM. But you can reap benefits either way.

[dasupaman23]

I just used this method and can now run .99 . It was such a headache before without this. Thanks for the write up!

[pkcable]

My issue with .99 on CMDA is that my connection seems to often revert down to 1RXXX, when it should be EVDO and when it started out as so. .90 radio seems to do a better job staying on the EVDO network.

[Sith_Apprentice]

Yes this works for both CDMA and GSM so pkcable it should work for you.

[Sith_Apprentice]

You are very welcome.

[cray1000]

btw, how do we know if we are in 1X, EVDO, and EVDO rev a areas?

on my Q, it would tell me 1X or EVDO..

i assume the storm can get data in 1x only areas?

PS. did the guy with they font carry over figure it out? sith, did the font carry over for you?

[Sith_Apprentice]

The phone will say 1X for 1X or 1XEV for EVDO areas. The font I do not know, i didnt notice a difference.

[pkcable]

I could not find (to my satisfaction) the right font file, so I just went for the radio transfer. I am now on a hybrid .90/.99 OS!

EDIT: I have noticed MUCH improvement. The EVDO singnal is MUCH more stable. Again great work Sith
