[RADIO] HTC Desire S Radios [PG88IMG.zip] (Updated: 21 Oct 2011)

Code:
/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or the end of the world. Please do some research
* if you have any concerns about flashing a radio before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the
* finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */
How to Flash:
In order for this to work, the HTC Desire S needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.
Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Desire S.
Make sure the filename is PG88IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
Connect the HTC Desire S to the computer via USB.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
Code:
adb push PG88IMG.zip /sdcard/PG88IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG88IMG.zip
NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The HTC Desire S will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Desire S normally.

Thanks for putting these in one place, and even though there's a warning about bricking phone's, I would like to warn everyone that flashing a radio is very rarely necessary, and should not be done on a whim!!! Not enough is known about recovering from a bad flash on the NVRam (radio), and if this happens you could end up with a very expensive calculator.

Thanks a LOT !!!!!!! My radio is here, so i can flash others, and if i find errors, i can come back. Thanks again man.

New Radio from leaked official ROM
This is the Radio that came with the recently leaked official Desire S Sense v3.0 ROM.
20.4130.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M RADIO

so is this linux only or can the terminal be replaced with the command prompt?

This isn't for linux specifically, this is also possible for windows, where by terminal he means windows command prompt (CMD), assuming that you have the relevant ADB installed.
If you don't download it from here

I have a question: there are some compatibility issue between radio and hboot version?

You can use the new radio with the old hboot.
Any problem for use that.
If you want to install the new hboot while you have already install the new radio, there's no problem of incompatibility

Fair enough! much safer that way.....you don't get people shouting at you then!
If people want the other leaked RADIO's there are links to them elsewhere!

Question:
Is there somewhere a GUIDE for downgrading Radio if the leaked one will not work how i hope?

Sure. The guide are so simple:
you'll have to use fastboot command but not the PG88IMG flash
Use a simple command : fastboot flash radio your_radio_file.img

And as "your_radio_file.img" i'll take the image file included in PG88IMG.zip.
Am i right?

When you unzipped the PG88IMG, you've found a file "radio.img"

my radio on my HTC DS is 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M on this post no "_M" on the end. is there a difference on that? thanks!

Amazing! Thank you so much for this. Next thing I will do right after True root.

First, thank you for the write up and radio links and contribution to all of this.
Now for my question: Wouldn't fastboot be easier and safer?
1 - Copy the .img to your /sdk/tools folder (or whatever folder depending on computer OS). Verify MD5.
2 - Boot into bootloader (Vol Down + Pwr).
3 - Navigate to Fastboot (Vol down to Fastboot and press Pwr). Make sure your phone says Fastboot USB.
4 - Open command promt (or terminal depending on OS)in folder you put file.
5 - Type:
Code:
fastboot flash radio xxxx.img
xxxx is radio name.
I find this faster and safer. I find SDCards can corrupt the file easier than anything else therefore leaving the file on your computer to flash from is one less transfer and possible issue. As we all know, the 2 things that have the greatest chance of bricking a device are your Radio and Bootloader images.
Just my .02

Fastboot probably won't be available at first, htc locked that down pretty tight for signed packages, this method is certain to work when s-off is released...
When eng s-off arrives, that should be a different story

Flashing radios via fastboot is actually more dangerous. Due to first, flashing the Engineering Hboot, which that process in itself is pretty dangerous, and second, fastboot will accept anything & during the flash, the radio image can become corrupt & brick the device.

i agree 100%, but most ppl who dont understand this will prefer conveinence/speed but risk bricking, over doing it the tried and tested method with minimal risk and maximum effort that reduces the chances of a fancy paperweight...

I think he was responding to Solidus_n313's comment that 'Fastboot probably won't be available at first'. Once you have radio S-OFF, it's trivial to get ENG S-OFF. It looks to me like AlphaRevX is hboot S-OFF but it's still S-OFF so we should be able to toggle @secuflag to get radio S-OFF without too much trouble. Basically, what I'm saying is that we'll all have ENG S-OFF very soon after AlphaRevX is released.

yeah, alpharev's is hboot, as the radio is locked uber tight for the time being. i also agree that ENG S-OFF will arrive shortly after the release.
the major concern is the extra security protocols implemented in @secuflag on the S4G (dont appear this way for the E3D), and while they will be bypassed/overwritten in time, there appear to be redundant calls to @secuflag than can precede hboot and radio modifications...(from what ive seen and recognize at least)
all i know is that if/when alpharev and teamwin collaborate, all these issues will no longer be a problem, but that seems to be a long shot, as the 2 are having some issues with each other atm :/

If it's S-OFF, eMMC write-protection is not enabled at boot so we can write to radio_config and toggle @secuflag directly. If the eMMC write-protection is still enabled, then I don't see how the phone could be considered S-OFF (or how we could flash custom ROMs for that matter). I guess it will all become clear in time.

I can see that, I guess I somehow got it in my head that fastboot was always the safest way to flash images. I bricked a G1 once, LONG time ago, by trying to flash an HBoot in recovery, but that is still different than what you are doing.

it's funny to me, since doesn't that mean we'd need a signed s-off bootloader?
... hilarious.

Which method of Flashing Radios is Safer....my opinion.
I disagree with the statement that updating the radio through bootloader is safer than fastboot for the following reasons:
First it generally thought that flashing radio.img through bootloader update (PG58IMG.zip for the sensation) method unpacks the radio.img to /cache first then flashes from /cache which makes it susceptible to corruption and there are no checks before the radio.img is flashed
and second there are file checks performed before fastboot flashes the radio.img.
I run the G2/DesireZ radio thread HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
In which I have seen several bricks from the bootlaoder update (PG58IMG.zip for the sensation) method flashing a corrupt .img file and never any from flashing the radio.img through fastboot. My radio.img's have been downloaded well over 10000 times and this has been my experince with flashing radio's.

[Q] Radios?

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. ; ))

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

[Firmware][Jan 17]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24/3.30/3.32/3.33 Universal

##NOTICE - Please Make sure you are downloading correct one for your ROM and Read this post!##
Thanks goes to Mike for his firmware files, Revolutionary for patching the file, and all devs who keep giving us a reason to flash.
Also Thanks goes to hoosbude who hosted my firmware files when I needed a place to keep them up for everyone
PLEASE realize that this has the same warnings as all firmware. It can brick your device so please know how to flash it before you do so. I am not responsible if you misflash and brick your device.
This thread is beginner friendly so by all means ask and I will respond when I can or I am sure others are willing to help as well.
Firmwares that I have posted:
3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
######################################################
What is all this?
What I have here is a series of flashable updates of a complete GingerBread package and the latest ICS Firmware [Firmware from 1.17 - 3.33]
This is for those who don't know or have bad luck editing the android-info.txt file. Some people don't want to superCID or don't know how to use fastboot or adb. This makes you able to update without having to superCID or have to go to a PC.
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.
######################################################
"I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown
0. Make sure you are S-OFF (These won't work if you aren't)
1. Download PG58IMG.zip for the version you want
2. Copy/paste PG58IMG.zip to the root of your microSD
3. Make sure MD5 match!!!
4. Reboot into bootloader (While phone it completely off hold down Vol - and Power. Keep pressing until in bootloader. In Ext4, if in android, choose Power Menu - Bootloader)
5. Once in the Bootloader choose Bootloader and then microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES
6. Follow onscreen instructions.
7. Now just pull sd card out (when process is finished) if you don't have microSD reader or delete PG58xxxx if you do. PG58 will prevent you from going into recovery if phone sees it.
7.5 If you don't have a SDCard Reader - Pop the SDCard out. Boot into the bootloader, go down to recovery, pop the SD-Card in then choose recovery.
8. If you do have a SDCard Reader -> Reboot into bootloader and go to recovery after deleting PG58IMG.zip file and putting the SDCard back in the phone
9. Reboot or flash new rom
10. You are done. Enjoy the ROM
My ROM doesn't boot. HELP!
Boot into recovery and clear dalvik and cache. 99% of the time this will fix that issue.
######################################################
How can I tell if the firmware flashed successfully???
In the bootloader up at the very top it will say the firmware version you just installed.
Ex: -Firmware-3.33- or -Firmware-1.17-
How to check your current Firmware Version for those who flashed before the most recent update:
fastboot getvar version-main
How to check your CID & MID:
You can do this one of the following ways.
1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid
If you don't have fastboot I have provided a download of it at the bottom of this post. Read the Read-Me file inside of it.
2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.
3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid
If it gives you the result of CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******
You are superCID. Use any file you like it doesn't matter they all work for you.

What is in the Universal Firmware File android-info.txt?
modelid: PG5813000
modelid: PG5813001
modelid: PG5810000
modelid: PG5811000
cidnum: H3G__***

cidnum: HTC*****
cidnum: VODAP***
cidnum: T-MOB***
cidnum: ORANG***
cidnum: O2___***
cidnum: ********
######################################################
Can I edit the firmware files and change them to my liking?
Ofcourse! And let me teach you how below ^_^
How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows (Will add Linux later. Sorry I don't own a MAC so I can't tell how to use that)
1. Go download Notepad++ and install it [It is free and is a great editer and makes it easier]
2. Download your PG58IMG.zip file you want to edit or one from a post by a DEV.
3. Double click file and open using Windows Archive Manager (Windows built in ZIP program)
4. Right click android-info.txt and copy it. Paste outside of the zip file
5. Right click android-info.txt you just pasted and open in notepad++
6. Add your cidnum that you want to the file or modelid. Use the ones already in there as an example.
7. Make sure there are no spaces after your cidnum or modelid (So it shouldn't be "cidnum: T-MOB010_" _ = space)
8. Save it
9. Double click the PG58IMG.zip again. Click android-info.txt and delete it in the archive (Don't extract the archive)
10. Drag and drop the new android-info.txt over PG58IMG.zip
11. Flash your newly packaged edited Firmware
12. Grab a drink and celebrate. You just created a custom firmware package.

Correct.

Thank you for creating this thread! While I already have the latest firmware loaded, the amount of time I spent reading through page after page of comments just to make sure I was doing it correctly was a bit much.
Again, thanks for contributing.

When you flashed firmware it asked you to push vol up for yes and volume down for no didn't it before it began?

It don't ask... It reads the content of the package and then it will switch without asking to a normal hboot menu. After that, i'm hboot 1.23, like before...

Can the firmware be edited to leave out certain elements?
It seems that the 3.24 firmware includes a screen update that makes AOU screens have a much colder/blue tint look.
Could that element of the firmware be hacked out?
I wouldn't even personally think to try such a thing. But if someone who knows how to code could yank that part of the update out it would be awesome.

Baseband(radio update) ?

Hi, my current version of Baseband is 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M and i want to install and run ROM ICE DS v 4.4 where i saw that recommended radio is: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310..so i am not sure what should i do(how to upgrade it)??, i taught it's better to ask here than to search for some guides etc. coz i read that if something is done wrong , the phone is dead

Very bad thought and wrong assumption that you'll get better help here by hell knows whom, instead of reading the guides that were written to be understood and executed by thousands of people till today.

My personal view: until you have learnt more, don't worry about changing radios. Then, if you are having issues that are radio related, then upgrade.
Or, once you are more familiar with changing your phone, then try different radios.
Fyi, I'm on Radio-20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04

i already had some strange issues with fallout(slow,buggy,youtube not working) than with icecold sandwich (phone restarting)...so i don't know whats the problem ...so i suppose i should upgrade that Radio or whatever..i just want to start using my phone without having always to think about force closing, freezing, restarting etc...

If you want a phone with no issues - then you shouldn't use ICS ROMs yet, until it's officially released.

I Think you Should try and flash the rom and see how it goes...
because there is a good chance it'll work just fine with your current radio.
If not... there is nothing too difficult in flushing a radio, it's a very simple
process if you already unlocked your phone.
