2.16 rom with radio 1.40

[papped]

I installed it like this:

1 - Installed Sprint 2.16 ROM
2 - Installed Unlocker
3 - On reboot the phone was stuck in the bootloader
4 - Installed 1.40 radio while on the bootloader screen

Your phone is basically wiped of all programs/settings/files back to the default 2.16 ROM state (it runs the Sprint extended config all over again, etc).

Works great so far. This fixed the lock ups I was getting when changing my Today themes and items on the stock 2.16 ROM.

i flashed the 1.40 radio a few hours ago, and reinstalled my programs/themes...no problems so far (outside of the usual RAM leak...meh...)...I'll be back with updates later...hopefully I can go a full day without a hard reset.

This is so frustrating.

"On reboot the phone was stuck in the bootloader"

all of the instruction require an error to work. LOL!

Mine doesn't get stuck. Now what? no instruction to update radio to 1.40

I don't understand what the problem is. I will assume you have 2.16 installed with the 1.47 Radio. If you don't you can flash the official Sprint package or you can use the 2.16 OS only nbh and the Rom Update Utility.

Place the radio nbh into a folder with the Rom Update Utility.
Activesync
Launch RUU
Click through to upgrade the radio.

You don't need any sort of error to accomplish this.....

If you don't have 2.16 on the phone then follow the same process as above with the 2.16 OS Only nbh if you want 2.16.

I've flashed several times and have yet to get stuck in the boot loader.

There is an "error" in the message that you get during the unlock -- it says unplug and re-plug USB cable and to "re-establish Activesync" connection -- The Activesync connection does "not" get re-established (and doesn't have to be re-established) -- Just press on with the unlock after plugging the USB cable back in and all will work fine...

thats what I did..now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping I dont get those stupid lock up issues

my phone doesnt lock up anymore, but my bt is still fritzy with connecting disconnecting.

Same here (though I don't currently use BT)... My phone has done very well with the 2.16/1.40 combination... I have traveled today through good signal, poor signal, 1x, evdo, no data, roaming, and Sprint areas - the phone has performed properly -- no lock up's or issues. I'll be doing more of this tomorrow - hoping for more of the same.

i dunno what my problem is...i had crazy issues earlier today, to the point where I never recovered signal (after getting on/off the subway), and my phone never went into roaming...i had to do a hard reset just to get it to get a signal again.

I flashed the original 2.09 ROM when i got home, and then bumped the radio up to 1.40...

hopefully this works.

2.16/1.40 seems to be working fine here also.

An odd occurance.....
vibrate stopped working for a while and not even a soft reset fixed it. then it randomly started working again LOL.

Also, the cool sprint animation that happens upon booting, no longer shows at all on my mogul.
