A RIL is flashed through the recovery. Once you have the file, boot to recovery, MOUNT SYSTEM!!! If you fail to do this, it will not work properly. Once system is mounted, flash the RIL. Then reboot.
So just place them on the root of the sd card?

Yes...the RIL file that you will be flashing to your phone, should be in zip format.
for more info, check out either one of these two threads..

Thanks!!!
Is there a way to check that the appropriate RIL installed?
Example: I installed radio 26.06.04.14_M and then I installed the matching RIL.
Can I check this somewhere on the phone?

Yup. In terminal, type the following:
Code:
su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
Ok it came back saying> HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011.16:12:49)

That's the correct RIL for that radio.
RIL_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.............HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49)
The radio can be updated and still require a previous RIL. Everything is good. No worries.
Thanks!!!
Lots of info to take in, in 2 days!! eeeh'.

Anytime. ...There is LOTS of stuff to learn. Just take your time, and don't get in over your head. It's very easy to do that in the Android world. lol
any idea where I can find the RIL for 26.06.06.30_M?
Nevermind found it...
tribalartgod, I installed radio RIL.12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and then I installed the matching RIL. it came back saying> HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM. Is that the correct RIL for that radio? thanks.
Hello,
I just came home from shopping, while I was there I had no connection. That is very weird.
Historie:
I have flashed a couple rom's, then restored back to stock
Never flashed an non-stock kernel
Never flashed an non-stock radio
What should I do ?

Hi,
Is it like an underground mall?
In some large stores,when I am not near an outside wall,I get no reception...
Sometimes the signal just does not get through.

Yes. I thought it was only me, I gues the only way to prevent this is to flash a new radio ?

Do you need to have custom recovery? And can you restore back if so ?

Hi,
So how do you flash a ROM?
Do you go into recovery and choose zip to install from sd card?
Flashing a radio does not involve recovery.
It's done from your desktop ,using adb.

Hi,
When you do a nandroid backup in recovery,it does not copy the radio.
So, you cannot restore a radio in recovery.

Just to clarify, you cannot flash anything from stock recovery, but you can flash flashable zips, including radio from custom recovery.

So that means I need to get custom recovery, then flash radio ?
Also it says my phone has to be ENG off and radio off. What is that? In my hboot screen it says it is off, at the top is that enough or ?

Hi,
You just need s-off to flash radio.
S-off is also radio-off.
Eng-off is optional.
Ohh OK
Thank you both for you're help I will go flash a radio now
Ok, my search isn't working.
I apologize.
Whats the best general radio for the phone?
And what's the link to the adb thread on how to use it and how to change radios
Im suffering from lack of reception at my house.
My 4G is reception is weak too and my signal bar isn't persistant.
Itll claim I have 4 bars but when I unlock it drops to 1 and none.
I also have pretty weak Wifi signal but I can deal with that.
EDIT:
Oh and my radio currently is 10.14.9035.01_M
I also dunno what to do,tommorow i will get HTC Sensation and i want to install custom rom,and dunno do i need to install different Radio or not... ANy help what to do?

You need to get S-Off before you do anything.
Its fairly simple just follow the instructions in the guide at the Development section of this phone.
Custom ROMs are very easily flashable through recovery.
Kernels are done the same way. ROMs will have there own kernel already for the most part.
Radio is suggested sometimes by the developer of the ROM somewhere in their thread.
I just dont remember how to and which radio is good for general use.
Yeagh i know that stuff pretty much,but it says that it has to be ENG S-Off i don`t really know what`s the difference between s-off and eng s-off...

In my bootloader it shows ENG S-Off.
As far as I know, its the same thing.
i Hope so,also,maybe firstly i should try not to flash radio and just try to install rom without flashing radio,if i will have any problems, I will be able to flash recommended radio and everything should be fine,right?
Flashing the recommended radio should be fine.
Just make sure you flash the radio correctly through adb
Well dunno,don`t really wan`t to mess something up... But if i install custom rom onto stock radio,and if it don`t work well,can i just flash radio ,the one that is recommended? Or i have to do something else?
Radio thread should be in first page.
If you have sdk installed and have environment setup its easy
Boot phone to fastboot
Unrar zip from download and you will get radio.img
In cmd type fastboot flash radio (drag radio.img in cmd window) and hit enter
If you dont have sdk set in environment path then you need to go directly to fastboot path
Example:
C:\android\platform-tools\
Then you do fasboot command, thats is you dont have it set, if you do you can use adb,fastboot I any directory path
And im using 10.56....
Before you flash new radio make sure your ril matches your radio
i think i won`t be doing anything to my phone... Android Market has alot of free,great apps. when i will be unhappy about my phone i think only then i will try to do something with it(s-off,custom rom,radio,kernel etc...) but for now,Merry Christmas. ; ))

Don't I also have to check my hboot version?
I saw somewhere about 1.17 only works with 10.** radios or something
first page
guide-adb setup
radio
ril
and yes need eng-boot which is what you have
eng boot lets you fastboot flash
which RUU?
Hi,
I am a very noob.
I search the forum and saw there are 2 different RUU for BM:
- RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.35.666.1_Radio_10.50.9007.00U_10.12.9007.21_2M_release_200555_signed.exe
- RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.45.666.5_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220007_signed.exe
Which one should I use?
My phone currently has:
BuildNumber: 1.34.666.1 CL 79935 release-keys
Baseband Version: 10.46.9007.00U_10.12.9007.01_M3
Please advice.
Thanks.

I'm still not clear on how to read the radio page. How do I figure out what RUU I have to determine the radio?
From the 1.23.163.1 RUU:
10.38.9007.00P_10.11.9007.06
that's how.. lol
the top tells you what RUU rom
and the bottom tells you the Radio baseband
(HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ - TMOUS (Possibly Telstra Stock too according to kira168)
Radio version 10.11.9007.15)
so to find match radio to ruu you must know what RUU your rom is based on to get the matching radio and then you use the radio baseband to find the matching ril
eg Tmobole RUU is 1.53.53_TMOB.ruu
you go the the radio thread and on there it has the correct list of RUU matching radio
so you look for the "RUU #" and you download that radio
Code:
From the 1.45.401.2 OTA/RUU:
10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01
md5: 64a0383b87b4b780cf516f7d7e43b784
From the 1.45.531.1 OTA:
has the same radio as the 1.45.401.2 OTA/RUU
From the 1.50.401.1 RUU:
has the same radio as the 1.45.401.2 OTA/RUU
like that this is the tmobile RUU and its OTA's and he has it listed and shows you the radio never changed from the OTA's then he continues from a new RUU from a different region, but most radios can be flashed they are not region dependent
Hope this clears things up and doesnt confuse more things for you

best is to look what radio have now from settings>about phone>software info>More>
and look at baseband it should give you the whole baseband then look at the radio thread to match the RUU from there.
so my baseband is 11.65.3504.00P_11.19.1504.29_9
ill go to the radio thread and look for the match radio and the OP will have the Proper RUU listed
this example OP doesnt have newest ICS posted yet but example be like that
From the 2.08.401.1 RUU:
11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16

if you don't know download terminal emulator from market and give this command "getprop ro.cid" (without quotes). Then download 1.17 according to your CID

Hi,
Im thinking about downgrading my hboot so that I can flash kernels and radios easier. However, I understand 1.09 still has this functionality, even though the dowgrade will take you lower to 1.06.
So im just curious which RUU could I flash afterwards to get my hboot up to 1.09?
I currently have a 1.14
I think after you downgrade your Hboot, you need to hex edit your mmcblk0p23 based on author of downgrade Hboot. You can use his mmcblk0p23 but w/caution. or you can grab from your phone.
Use terminal
To get your mmcblk0p23
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p23
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The use hex edit and look for 0xA0 then type 1.00.000.0
See pic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34076587&postcount=2
After edit, put it back to phone:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p23 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
reboot to fastboot and lock your bootloader. And then run the RUU
For RUU, see my sig or http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Ville

Why would you want that? (Edit: This is not judgmental, I'm genuinely asking what about 1.09 you prefer over 1.06)
hboot-1.06 is from the 1.53.401 RUU. The next update (1.78.401) has hboot-1.13. I may be wrong but I think hboot-1.09 was from a TMOUS specific RUU or OTA.
Both of those will let you flash pretty much everything. I don't know of any practical difference between 1.06 and 1.09.
