(Radio) All radio.img and update.zips Update-2!READ

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN FLASHING OR MODIFYING THE RADIO.IMG AS THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO BRICK YOUR PHONE
All of the update.zips work 100% of the time. There has been no report of brick and i have used all of them at least once. if you dont like a new radio flash the old one. Good luck!
the stock radio.img is from the 1.56 RUU for the SPRINT CDMA HERO
There are three Radios here. stock, 2.41.04.02.03, and 2.42.00.03.10. they are in order from release date. high number=newer. radios are risky so i suggest sticking with one. they almost never cause worse performance. if you TRULY feel your signal has degraded i put the stock in here for you to return to.
Update!2 ok so with the new release of 2.42.01.04.27 i was kinda on the ehhh bar with it. i never like new releases because they will always take something from you.
so in this case they have taken the ability to use data with a .27 kernel. so if you flash this radio, you will not get data with any rom that has .27. including the fresh toast 1.1 and all 1.5's. so its up to you. i didnt gain one thing from this radio. battery life and signal stay 100% the same. i did lose data though.
so personally i would stick with 2.42.00.03.10

Just to be sure ... I am only asking this as a precaution as I do not want to brick my phone. These are for the SPRINT CDMA HERO correct? And when you say STOCK you mean the Radio that was originally installed on the SPRINT CDMA HERO like "out of box" so to speak?... Again I'm asking to clear up assumptions. a.k.a. (Click happy readers)

Is this for 1.5 as well or is this to be used only on fresh 2.0b

I updated the radio to 2.41.04.02.02 earlier today and saw my download speeds decrease by about 50%. So I finally tried to flash back the Stock radio posted here. The good news it didn't brick my phone but it also didn't work. My phone still shows version 2.41.04.02.02. When I did the flash of the Stock radio file I never saw any error message and I didn't see the message about extracting radio file. Any ideas? Thanks

well i just retried it with the attached signed stock radio.img and it worked correctly. you may want to double check that in nandroid you are selecting the stock one not the 2.41.04.02.03-signed.zip one

Just tried to restore stock radio, all it says it "Install from SDCard Complete", and baseband is still 2.blahblah..any tips?

ok i think i know what caused this. although it says its still 2.blahblah its rlly the stock. the manifest isnt right so i guess it didnt apply. ill have a fix up but for right now your set with the stock radio.

It was the Stock img because is was the last one in the list to select. Are you using the instructions from geekforme to do the flash. That is what I was following.

yes you did it right. it should have worked although it still shows the old baseband. you now have the old radio. its not updating that for some reason i will fix once i find out why

Can anyone else confirm decreased data speeds?
I'll do a quick little test in the mean time...

Are you saying that my phone is now using the stock radio ver 1? If you are, I don't think it is because my download speeds are still way slower then before I did the ver 2 update.

Official 2.1 with Senseui for Rogers HTC Magic +

Hey guys check it out according to Rogers Mary, Rogers would be rolling out 2.1 with Sensui for Rogers Magic today. yay!!. See her tweet:
Hello!! HTC Magic+ Customers should expect HTC to start rolling out 2.1 OS today, OTA
Go grab it.

will be good news for our staff on stock phones.
For the unlocked ones, we're on 2.2 already.
Undoubtedly these will have a locked SPL on them so it will be a while before we can get them unlocked.

We need the OTA url!
I dunno if only phones in Canada using Rogers will get the OTA otherwise?

It is already available for an hour? Or two.

Without Sense.

now the choice will be 2.1 + sense or 2.2 stock

Probably OTA update zip
Can someone look into this file? (Any developer?)
It looks like that OTA update, but is it so simple?
I see there is new radio, and probably the whole "system" folder.

Yes 2.2 that runs decent at best. This is made for our devices, it has to be good!
Bring it on Rogers!
Someone upload it when you guys get it
BTW, just flash the system and boot images without that SPL and whatever the fuss is about..

Can i install this update even thought i haven't a rogers 32A? and if yes, should i flash via recovery?

RUU is available here:

Is it possible to flash this while maintaining the hboot, spl and recovery? I am lazy to redo the whole root process again, which most probably will not work if I run this RUU straight away?
32A Asia here.

Through recovery it doesn't work for me. it says E:No signature (663 Files)
E:Verification failed
Aborted
any help?

?!?!?!?!
Just came home from school and saw this??
OFFICIAL 2.1 for ROGERS?!
Anyway to install this on european 32a magics?
Please tell!

i changed also radio with the new one in the archive but nothing, still instalation aborted.

You NEED to have both stock latest 1.5 rogers rom installed AND stock recovery that came with that rom installed too...otherwise it won't work as for one...it will fail with verification of the recovery and two....it scans MD5 of the installed apps, so unless you have rogers 1.5 update, it will fail there too.

So? This is only useful to those on the stock OS, others will no doubt be disappointed especially when they can't change their mind and go back to freedom. If Sense is that important then lock yourself in and enjoy the ride. What this might be good for is to assist the devs in improving the already better roms.

[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot

As the title says, here's the Rom.zip extracted from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe for those that don't use Windows, or prefer to have their RUU in zip format.
This will flash your phone to 2.31.651.7 STOCK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?m6x4sr682ruk027
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
Enjoy!
Here's my guide to rooting .7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296

Personally..I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have spent the last four hours searching for this. This needs to be stickied. I'm bookmarking it for sure. This got my phone unbricked..I thought all hope was lost and I would have to call in for warranty support (I got mine refurbed through Sprint last October..so I don't even know if I would still have any warranty support), and see if I could try my luck and getting it replaced, since that is what others have said to do as apparently this file from OP, did not exist.
And so for future reference, so that others don't go mindlessly searching through the forums.
If you
a.) Managed to overwrite your Recovery some how or completely delete it. (I did..and from searching this and many other forums over the past couple hours..I can see I wasn't the only one), and also have no boot (or a corrupted boot loop)
b.) Still have S-ON (You can find this out by powering off your phone and then pressing and holding the power button and the lower volume button), I recommend you turn S-Off for future reference if you're going to be dealing with customer ROMs a lot (so you don't have to go through the hell I just did..). See here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955
c.) Have an updated Hboot (1.47) (you can also find this info. in part b.)
....then you KNOW that you are stuck. Because you
a.) Cannot flash a ROM in Recovery because you cannot access it.
b.) You cannot access ADB because your phone won't go that far and will only go into fastboot..
c.) But even though you have access to fastboot you can't do ANYTHING like flash a recovery image or a ROM..or anything for that matter..because S is still ON. (this is the "not allow" messages you will see pop up.)
d.) You have bootloader 1.47 so if you for example, were like me couldn't use this file here.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086), because it would say there was a newer version and wouldn't install it.
So this file right here..was the only thing getting my phone back to a usable state. And considering that my searches have shown to pretty much give up all hope and have it sent it for warranty repair, then I think this thread deserves a bump for all those that have screwed up.
Yeah..I have to start ALL OVER now from a stock ROM (thank god for nandroid), but at least my phone isn't a dead brick.
Just thought this needed a well deserved bump.

I wonder if there is a RUU for the latest .2?

Wanted to say BIG THANKS. This worked like a charm to update prl/profile. Keeping two copies of this one on the sd and on the laptop. Thanks again.

Forgive me for seeming NOOBish... but I can use this to do the same, then restore Nandroid back and it will keep the PRL/Profile update?
Just wondering... lolz, thanks!

Yup But you will have to reroot. This takes root from you. You will have to reroot with the Hero rooter from Reg or Z4 or one click root. But read read read. And as far as the prl/profile yup it will stick. When your phone boots up after running this just go into settings and updates and choose update profile and update prl don't update firmware. I repeat don't update firmware. After that just reboot and check your prl should be 60675. After that reroot, then flash a recovery and then nand restore. Hope this helps good luck
Remember this returns you to stock you will loose root and recovery..
Yea it's me Again. With the
Modified .HERO.

Why don't you guys just flash NFX's or LS's already rooted and way faster stock sense ROM to update PRL, etc?
Running stock ROM has to be one of the worst things ever after being on custom ROMs for so long.

I tried flashing almost ever sense rom on here pmgrands port, ninfintes stock odex and deodex and his apps 2 sd builds he has like 4 or 6 different builds. Tried flashing liquids builds beta and stable. All gave me a error. So I had to use this. I couldn't flash any sense rom
and it was easier to use this than try to figure out y. If he can flash a sense rom then yea that's the easier way but if not this is a for sure way to get back to stock.

Yup. That's way better and faster. Just go into settings / updates. Then just update prl and profile. Don't update firmware. After you confirm that your updated just nand restore and you should be good.

Thanks for the reply's all... I like Sense and have NFX rom on my Hero, loaded a few ROMS but they won't update, so no worries, when I have some free time I'll sit and do it then. I don't like the one click rooters nor the clockwork recovery, I guess I'm old school and do it the hard way, lol, but thanks for letting me know it'll work (prl update) and stay on the handset!
Regards!

Without opening a huge can of worms I would like to know whats the best newest rom out there with sense I just searched for like 3 hours and lot of threads are old and I want what ever is new with sense also would like to upgrade to 2.2 im on Honeybun v.-2 lite firmware 2.1 update1

Telus Froyo Update file

I snaged the update file before it updated my phone. If anyone wants the file let me know I will post the file on a server for people to snag.
File that came accross over wifi update.

This is pretty useless, as you have to run stock for it to work, it's not a RUU.

The only thing useful in there is the radio. I'm running it

I did the OTA update this morning on a different Desire (from rooted 2.1) and the file it downloaded has a different ending number, I wonder if it matters, I saved the file to my laptop. The "Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12" is what of concern, would that work on any other Desires?
Nevermind, I think they're the same number.

i would like if there was a RUU for this. Is there a way to make an RUU out of the files it has so i can do a clean install and wipe my desire? by the way how did you find that link off the htc website for the update?

Since I have a backup of 2.1 just after I rooted, I should be able to install that then use this zip correct? What radio version is included?

Here is a link to the RUU named properly that I used to fix a non-bootable phone.

The answer is yes, so do as Pheroh says

Try to either flashing through recovery or manually dd-ing the image files.
Don't take an OTA or run an RUU, as that will update your HBOOT.
You want to stay on 1.08.

I dont want the OTA update, anyway the phone is rooted and using custom rom so dont think ota will ever work.
where can I find the latest radio, zip files flashable thru recovery or fastboot?

10x a lot;

hope will solve the few little problems with data and Bluetooth I had.

It has helped many from reading posts. I am not sure I gained anything though.
But, always nice to have latest anything--

I can only hope will improve something. I have a problem with data switching from G to 3G to H for few seconds when I first start every session, I dont know it has impact on actually speed;
most annoying is the Bluetooth dropout from time to time, even at (very) short distances, my earpiece has no problem cause i tested with my other phones.
Anyway, if things goes wrong I still can go back to 0.16 radio I had before ( I hope at least )

Yes, flashing radios is Rom independent. Just don't upgrade to hboot .13 or higher. Or, you will have issues flashing radios. Hope new radio helps.

for the moment I use trickdroid 6.0, probably I'll change in the future if support and updates stop;
from what I know, changing rom's shouldn't change the hboot, only ruu upgrade will change it. true?

correct-
radios and hboots stay unless flashing a ruu
if/when we get s-off then hboot can be changed and we will be able to adjust partition table sizes for more data size

first day of testing, results are confusing
the data icon stays now mostly at 3G, think this is the real provider network; the differences in speed are not noticeable
for the bluetooth, the same thing, earpiece disconnect after few minutes even if with the phone in my hand; something is wrong here; I'll have to look for my older earpiece to try it. maybe plantronics 520 is not fully compatible with htc one s
should I try a custom kernel? any chance will help?

I had the Bluetooth disconnect issue . Haven't flashed a radio yet but flashing the Sensisimo Rom has seem to have fixed the Bluetooth disconnect. Fix could have something to do with the Rom being based off the latest update available (2.21 or something like that). I'm having data disconnect issues, does new radio fix it?
T-MobileUS HTC One S

I would try it, no harm done

looks like bloetooth disconnect is a small bug in trickdroid 6.0; tried another 2 earpieces and all are doing the same;
just flash trickdroid 7.1.0, I'll try it tomorrow and came back with feedback.
