Problem Flashing Old Radio

I flashed the newest radio 2.22.23.02 and it's causing bad battery issues for me. I want to flash back my old radio 26I, but it won't flash. I've downloaded it several times to see if it was broken and it won't flash over. It always attempts, gets about half way, and then self aborts.
I am using Recovery to flash it like a rom as I did when I flashed 23.2. I don't know ADB. What should I do and what do you think could be wrong?
Thank you all VERY, VERY much!

What's your hboot info, are you using an eng spl? I like using fastboot whenever I flash this stuff. Give that a try.

Have you tried flashing with fastboot? See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239 for instructions.

These instructions are for a 32A and I have a MT3G (32B). So I can't use them.
Also when I do boot to Hboot there is no keypad to type anything. Please advise.

I'm bumping this thread.
I too have a 32b with the new 23.... radio and since flashing my battery life and service have been so ridiculously bad that I've actually switched back to my blackberry until I can find a working 2.22....I radio. Everytime I attempt flashing it says installation aborted...==Dream is there a sapphire version someone can point me towards? Thanks

flashing using fastboot should be the same regardless what version you have (32A/32B). the steps are the same. just make sure that your radio is the correct one for your device and it will be fine. make sure the SPL matches the radio too.

What happens in fastboot is that I cannot type anything. When I put my phone in FB it doesn't give me a keypad to type or even a place to enter in info. What do I need to do?

And how do I do that? What console on my computer? Thank you very, very much.

Set up fastboot on your computer:
1. Download the fastboot utility from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 for your operating system and place it in a convenient directory.
2. If using Windows, you also need http://hotfile.com/dl/21083613/a828c81/AdbWinApi.dll.html in the same directory.
3. If using Windows, install the USB Driver from: http://www.anddev.org/download.php?id=449. This driver may not work. If this is the case, try to setup the Android SDK on your computer and download only the USB drivers for the phone.

Hi, I have just gone back to radio 2.22.19.26I after about a month or so on radio 2.22.23.02.
I had the same error message as you so I just did what everyone else is suggesting and flashed the new radio image via fastboot.
Take a look at the posts fro amom_ra to me when I thought I had messed up my UK Vodafone HTC Magic

How to I remov/uninstall TWRP

Hi All,
I flashed TWRP and installed CleanROM. Now I need to send the phone to fix photo blurry issue. I did restore original telstra ROM.
How can I remove TWRP anh put original recovery image back?
I found the recovery image in TWRP backup folder named recovery.emmc.win. I ran following command and it was successful but when I reset factory the phone, it boot to TWRP and do from there
D:\HTC\Fastboot>Fastboot flash recovery recovery.emmc.win
sending 'recovery' (16383 KB)... OKAY [ 2.404s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 4.151s]
finished. total time: 6.556s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I lock the boot loader, factory reset failed and boot to boot loader screen with Security warning.
Can someone here please help?
--------------------------------------------------
Edit: is that because the recovery image in backup is TWRP recovery image itself. The original one already is gone?
Thanks.

Post in q and a but run an ruu and your.phone will be back to stock except your bl will say relocked

appreciate your help.
I have to go all these hassle because of blurry photo. Hope Telstra won't reject warranty because of RELOCKED.

best you can do is relock bootloader and run the ruu. in bootloader run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu right away.

Thanks DvineLord,
Most of guide say we need to extract RUU to get recovery.img then run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img before oem lock. should I do that as well?

no you dont have to do that. just "fastboot oem lock" then run ruu.

Hi All, Mission completed.

Appreciated all your helps.

i would still poke around and see if you still have the same camera issue running stock. there is also an updated ota for telstra 2.40.841.4 but if you haven't unlocked using htcdev you might have problems getting root. it might also cause you to have to flash boot.img manually but im not sure since im on at&t.

DivineLord, I also want to revert to the original Telstra ROM. But when I access FASTBOOT the only 'lock' command I see is "SIMLOCK". Is this the option I need to activate to achieve the "fastboot oem lock"?

You hook up the phone to the computer and type that in a command prompt in fastboot like when you unlocked

i go and wipe all the options except the External Storage ! , and then SideLoad the VIPERX ROM , and follow the installation Process , it installed successfully , but after restarting , it keeps Loading "TWRP 2.6.3.0" Recovery instead of the OS !
actually when i reboot to BootLoader and and then select RECOVERY , it Loads me the Working 2.4.0.0 JB Recovery .... but when i normally reboot my phone , it keeps loading the TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery !

There are two problems with this post.
1) You're in the wrong device forum, this is the HTC One XL forum.
2) What you're talking about isn't relevant to the thread you've posted in.
You need to head over to the HTC One X forum and ask there, we simply don't have experience with your device here.

Try this though, retrieve the boot.img from within the Viper ROM zip, put it in your fastboot folder, connect your phone in bootloader mode, and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] Stucked in HTC logo

Hello guys, i hope someone can help me. This is my situation:
At the begining i had a stock rom 4.1.1 from AT&T. I succesfully did S-OFF and installed Super CID 1111111. Everything went great but my goal was to install the Germany T-Mobile 4.2.2, so, the next step i did was to follow a tutorial wich guided me to install team win recovery. I copied the rom i mentioned to the sd card and when i tried to flash it failed. So, i did a wipe (Im so stupid ) and now i had no OS. after that, i tried to install ClockWorkMod to follow another tutorial and fix that. I did it using adb but when i tried to reboot in recovery it got stuck in a black screen and i need to push the three buttons for a long time to power it off. Since that, i turn it on, put it in fastboot mode but the console don't even recognize it when i try to use adb (It find no adb devices). So, i did a mess with my phone and i cant find a solution.
Can anyone help me please? Thank you so much guys.
PD: If you need any other details i can let you know anything.

I'm gonna need your bootloader details please. Also, what error did you receive in recovery when trying to flash the T-Mobile ROM?
The reason adb commands aren't working is because you need to use fastboot commands when connected in fastboot mode. I'd suggest flashing TWRP recovery back into the phone, mount the storage, copy a ROM across and flash it.

EDIT: i succesfully installed again Team Win Recovery. I moved the EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge ROM to the sdcard and try to flash but i it fails in the "Updating partition details...", i cant get any further. No OS.

Yeah that's exactly what I needed to see. Like I said, adb isn't going to work, you need to use fastboot commands. So use fastboot to flash TWRP recovery back onto the phone and try flashing a ROM. If that doesn't work I'd suggest running an RUU.

Hello timmaaa, i really appreciate your help. I did check the md5 checksum and the rom seems to be ok. As i mentioned before, the problems shows up when the flashing process steps to the partition detail "something" process. If you are ok with that, i can let you get into my computer by Teamviewer or some other remote control software so that way you can see anything you need by yourself. I don't know the Team Win Recovery version installed and i'm in my work right know and i didn't bring the htc with me, i'll let you know the version as soon as i get home.

I don't have a PC at the moment so Teamviewer isn't a possibility, just post the TWRP version when you can.

Ok, no problem. The version of TWRP is v2.5.0.0

That's your problem, 2.5 is full of bugs. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone and try again.

Not sure what drivers it was, but I fresh installed everything on a different Xp machine and was able to get the Rom onto the SD-card.
Atleast I think thats what the issue was, I was head bashing for a while hehe.
I think another issue was that I didnt have superuser installed but I got a 4,1 rom onto it and then upgraded to 4.3,
KitKat will get flashed hopefully when cyanogen becomes a bit more stable, crashes and reboots for me a few seconds after loading the home screen.
Thanks for your help and pointing me in the right direction.

[Q] htc one s will do (almost) nothing

Hi There,
My one S will only start up in CWM. I would like to try and put another ROMon it, but i keep losing my sdcard.
I tried to mount it again, but on my mac i don't succeed with it. My knowledge of adb/fastboot is a bit low (i bought this phone with CM11, but wifi wasn't working properly, so i updated it. Then it wasn;t working at all.
So i kind off got rit of CM11 (not my purpose, but it happened).
Now i'm stuck with a none working phone.
Anyone in the area of Utrecht, the Netherlands who can help me out?
Is much apreciated (i work in a bar, so with beer i can repay )
hope to hear from anyone.
ciao

You could try another recovery like twrp.

To answer both. I would like to get twrp on it, but the only ways i can find to change the recovery is trhough goo manager or apps you can put on your phone (which isn't working)
I think the first part would be getting the sdcard to be more stable (format the damn thing)
Sorry, i think it's a ville. I will try and get the CID this weekend. including the rest of the info (don't have the device with me (@work) But to fastboot/adb the device i hope the sdcard will work properly...
Will edit this message this weekend.

To flash the recovery you dont need the sd card to work. You can do this by using fastboot commands.
At first you have to make sure that your Computer has the HTC-Driver installed and got a working adb/fastboot directory. If you dont know how to make this work, simply search this Forum there are plenty of good guides.
After you got this working, simply copy the latest twrp.zip to your adb folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode. Open the command prompt from your adb folder and type in: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip".
After this is done you should be able to access twrp recovery.

if you don't tell me whats you cid and if you have a ville o villec2 i can't help you, because you can brick your phone

Finnaly i have time to answer some question and give a update (very busy weekend on this siode )

Pushed the latest CM12-1, through twrp i installed it, wipped the dalvik/cache, but then nothing happens...
It seems that i'm stuck in een boot sequence to end up in twrp again..
am going to try to get s-off and then push the rom again...keep you posted

if you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, but if s-off not, maybe this is your problem.

This was the one i needed. Thanks for giving me directions.
After extracting the boot.img from the cm zip, it was a few minutes and up and running
Installing gapps and the phone is ready for use. (my daughter will be delighted)
Thanks for your help (all of you above...)
