From what I've read, I should be able to simply rename the .zip file PD98IMG.zip and just put it on the root of the SD card, then reboot into bootloader and press the power button and it should flash the radio.
When I press the power button, it starts to flash the radio but when it says SD Checking... and tries to load the .zip file, is says "no image!" and then "no image or wrong image!"
I also tried zipping it without compression and it had the same problem. What gives?
No, and flashing radios is probably one of the easiest ways to completely brick your phone if not done right.
You have to take the radio from the hack kit(PD98IMG.zip), found in the radio folder. Open the zip as an archive with 7zip, take the radio.img out of the zip with the radio you want to flash, and drop it into the archive you opened of the PD98IMG.zip to overwrite the stock one that was in there. Now just close the archive, put it on your sdcard, then reboot into bootloader and it should flash.
Tried this method but phone info still shows the hack kit radio.

His post clearly says "You have to take the radio from the hack kit(PD98IMG.zip)".
It wouldn't show anything different if you flashed the same radio.
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that radios CANNOT be flashed from the bootloader. They have to be flashed over using the ADB tools from your computer, right?
Make sure phone has USB Debugging enabled.
Extract the radio (should be titled radio.img) to the folder with the ADB files.
Open a command prompt with admin privileges and type and navigate to the directory containing both the radio and the ADB files. Then type:
adb reboot bootloader - this reboots the phone into the bootloader mode
fastboot flash radio radio.img - this flashes the radio stored on your computer to your phone and the phone installs it from there
fastboot reboot - this reboots your phone
Somebody double check me, I typed this in a rush!
Yes, understood that completely. His post says to take the radio.img of the radio you want to flash and place it in the hack kit radio zip file. Did that and radio shows hack kit (stock) radio.

If you're already rooted, ignore any hack kit instructions from here on. Once you finally get rooted, new techniques and procedures will be developed, just keep up with the forums! Don't rename the radio - just keep it as radio.img. I attached the .zip that helped me (thanks leith51).
Extract the "Radio flash" folder within the .zip anywhere you want.
Next, extract your radio (should be "radio.img") into that same directory.
After that, launch the "Start Here" file - this automatically opens a command prompt and navigates you to where you need to be.
Lastly, follow the instructions in my last post.

NO. That won't work if you don't have eng. S-off, and I doubt he does. If you do that with just S-off, the flash will FAIL. you have to have eng- S-off to fastboot flash, if you don't know what it is, you probably don't have it.
If your doing what I typed in my last post and its still stock, then your flashing the stock radio.
Tell me what radio you want and ill upload it ready to be flashed

I followed the instructions from your previous post more to the letter and it worked. I noticed the .txt file in the original PD98IMG.zip file, would that be what's stopping me from being able to flash a ROM? It's really rather annoying to have to use that specific file, but if I could just keep a backup of that .txt and add it to the .zips of radios I flash it would be much more convenient. Would that work?

Agreed, also simply taking a peek into the development section wouldn't hurt, as there is an entire thread dedicated to this entire process along with the zip's for it. Not only that, but it also tells you how to check the file to make sure it is not corrupt.
Can you keep this civil guys?. I did some cleaning.
Back on topic please.
hey guys,
I just flashed my radio to this build.
I saw my HSPA go down the crap shoot. Did you guys notice this? I'm running CM7.
Not sure if I did this right but:
1) Ace rooted, S-off
2) Installed CM7
3) Flashed Radio 06.04.14
Should I wipe everything and reflash the ROM?
I am currently running Jelly Bean AOKP, but it's a bit crashy. I have a couple favorite apps that I wish would work again. Am I correct in understanding that the RUU is the factory ROM?
Yup, factory Rom. It's actually a program that runs on your pc that flashes the factory Rom. Make sure you dont use a newer one since it also flashes hboot.

2.20 contains the new hboot. If you run it, you can no longer flash radios to your phone and you have to flash boot.img manually (which means no flashing phone back ups on the go to switch ROMs). Just go with the 1.85 RUU. Doesn't matter if you are going to root/rom anyway. Side Note, if your phone already has the 2.20 hboot, do not run the 1.85 RUU!
Btw, why are you running an RUU anyway if I may ask?
If away from a pc, I'm guessing you could actually use terminal emulator and dd the boot.IMG corresponding to the Rom or backup you want to flash, reboot recovery, flash Rom/backup then reboot...I'm unrooted so I can't confirm, but would be a fun test confirm if it works or not

Don't you have to use clockwork to flash image from terminal emulator?
Edit: I guess that's only if I want the easy way with "flash_image"
RUU will not run when bootloader is unlocked. So remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU.
Also RUU = ROM update utility

Terminal emulator is ran from android as an app. It's a linux terminal to use a shell command to dd the .img to the proper partition.......I would actually love to see somebody test to ser if it sticks or not. If it did we could write a simple script that people could use so they could easily flash on the go without needing a pc to fastboot flash the image
You could always just flash a stock rom, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872842. It is way easier than ruu-ing and you don't risk losing root
Thank you everyone for the replies. I ended up flashing CleanRom 4.5 and all is well. The RUU stuff looks like perhaps a bit more than I'm prepared for.

My HTC one X came stock with 4.0.4 and all that whatnot, and has the new Hboot 1.(14 i think?) I'd assume. Well i successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp, however now I am stuck. Whenever I try to install a rom.zip it tells me that the MD5 is not found and any processes after that fail as well. I'm really lost. I'm fairly new to Android, been an iOS user but after rooting and flashing CyanogenMod7 on my Nook color it was an easy conversion. So I'm not entirely new to the process, theres just got to be something really easy that I'm missing.

When you flash in TWRP, there should be an option called "force md5 check" or something along those lines. Deselect that, and then try flashing. Also, needless to say, make sure your ROM .zip file is intact and authentic.
I believe that option should arise after you select the file you want to flash, but I don't remember exactly off the top of my head.
Further tip: if you get past that stage, remember that you have to separately flash the boot.img via fastboot, since your bootloader is greater than 1.09.
I saw that, but wasn't sure when to do that. Is that before or after I install the rom?

Before. Once you're set up with fastboot, enter "fastboot flash boot boot.img". The boot.img is found by extracting the ROM's .zip file and pasting it into the folder where fastboot etc. are located. After that's flashed, boot into recovery and flash your ROM like you normally would. This is required for any rom you flash with your bootloader, not just CM10.
Also, if installing a new ROM, you have to wipe everything, not just dalvik and cache.

Fair point. My understanding is that there can be other issues with md5 checking unrelated to the integrity of the ROM, but my mistake if that's wrong

Watch the video, if your flashing cm just turn the md5 check off in twrp.

I was able to install CM9 and Paranoid Android even with it not passing the MD5 check. So my next question is is it really necessary? Is there a way to turn off the check? Or do I still need it for maybe other ROMs?
Did you ready post? Yes you need to turn md5 check "off" in twrp.

Hi,
Normally, I try to troubleshoot things myself without bothering others, but I'm in need of help this time. The tricky part is, I just bought this HTC One S from a stranger, so I don't have its complete history. With that said, here's what I need help with. The phone came with Pacman installed (v18.0.0). But, I would like to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451
It's basically a stock ICS ROM (the lite version mentioned with stuff removed). In attempt to do this myself, I found this post on here:
Yes the only other solution for you involves rooting. It is possible to go back to ICS by rooting your phone, going through a bootloader downgrade, hexediting a particular partition, then running an older compatible RUU... Its all possible, but requires some time to understand and do. And definately requires a few wipes of phone data in the mean time (which can be backed up through titanium and custom recoveries).
Only need to do that if you want to downgrade hboot. All you have to do is root and flash a rom, I have JB radio and hboot and run ICS Trickdroid 8.1.0.
So, I put the ICS ROM in the internal sdcard, did the usual wiping stuff (I've owned several HTC phones, so this part I know how), then installed the ROM. Unfortunately, it didn't work. When I rebooted the phone, it got stuck in boot loop. It would go to HTC logo screen with the development purpose only warning and just keep turning off and on. Fortunately, I was able to get back into recovery and restored it to Pacman. So, apparently, you can't just flash any ICS ROM over JB setup... Can someone help me figure out what I need to do to install that modified stock ROM please? I very much appreciate your help. My One S is S4 from T-Mobile.
Thank you,
GT
Did you flash boot.img?

thats weird.. if you wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system.. it should be fine.
which recovery do you have? cwm or twrp? flashing the rom after wiping everything i stated before, and then flashing boot.img depending on your hboot [btw, go to bootloader and see what it says for hboot. if it is higher than 1.13, you need to fastboot boot.img.

no prob, i HIGHLY suggest you flash TWRP recovery.. it's a loot better.
2. are you trying to install a TMOUS ROM?
3. since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img [let me know if you know how to do that]
4. also since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to flash some partitions or else your WiFi won't work.
Let me know if you need help doing any of the above, but start out with installing TWRP first.

2. Yes, the ROM I want to install is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451

3. I just read up on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I think I got the idea, but just to double check, is this what I need to do after every time I install a custom ROM?
4. The partition files exist on the phone already, and I read some, so I have a basic understanding of it. But, the developer of the ROM I want to install says it is not necessary with that ROM, so hopefully that's true.
I am amazed by how different everything is from a HTC phone to another HTC phone even when they seem so similar!
A quick question. Does EXT4 exist for HTC One S? I used to use that for HTC Sensation and loved it. I'm guessing no, but I thought I'd ask.
So, to sum it up, is this what I need to do?
1. Flash TWRP recovery (please tell me how to find the right version for S4. all in one toolkit doesn't work on my phone).
2. Wipe everything and install the ROM
3. Flash boot.img
4. If wifi is not working, try the partition files

3. Yes, since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img everytime you flash a ROM, unless you want to downgrade?
3.5: like Darknites said, you will need to install drivers for your the One S if you haven't already. You can download HTC Sync, and they'll install automatically [this is needed for being able to fastboot the boot.img]
4. They do exist, but everytime you wipe before flashing a ROM, they also get deleted, but try using the ROM without flashing the partition files and see if it works, if not then flash the partition files.
5. Yes, I'm pretty sure EXT4 exists with the One S, but am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm this?
Lastly, here is where you download TWRP:

scroll down and download the link for the S4 VARIANT, but you need to have drivers installed before doing this. and you will need to fastboot the recovery, since the download is an image: to do so, go into cmd, type cd c:\ (whatever your fastboot folder is called) and enter
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash.

Thank you, dr_rick13 and other kind members who responded to my call for help.
I was able to troubleshoot this, and now my phone's working the way I wanted it. Just one correction on dr_rick13's instruction:
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash
recovery is missing in that line, so it should be fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img
I know it was just a typo or forgot to write it, but I wanted to point this out in case some other user finds this thread and follows that instruction.
All in all, thanks for everything! You guys rock!

Thank you, dr_rick13 and other kind members who responded to my call for help.
I was able to troubleshoot this, and now my phone's working the way I wanted it. Just one correction on dr_rick13's instruction:
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash
recovery is missing in that line, so it should be fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img
I know it was just a typo or forgot to write it, but I wanted to point this out in case some other user finds this thread and follows that instruction.
All in all, thanks for everything! You guys rock!

I'm new here too. I understand that you need to flash the boot.img with that hboot, but why? And will it ever be fixed?
I've owned and rooted many a phones and never had to do that. Just curious why it's like that, and if it will be fixed. It's just easier to not be that way. Again, I'm new here, just trying to understand

we do not have S-OFF yet, so until we do.. people with hboots 1.13+ will need to flash boot.img. But HTC still hasn't said anything about when we will get S-OFF or if we will get it.

Its just the way HTC wants us to do it and maybe they feel it be better for us but mostly them. There is a way round it but you have to downgrade the Hboot.

Thanks. Is there any downside to downgrading the hboot? Why don't people do that instead?
When I had the Amaze, the recovery 4ext had "smart flash" which did this same thing because it was s-on

Because of Linux and the fact you brick it to do it too. We meant to be getting 4ext but don't know when.

This seems like out would make things so much easier. I'm not always around a pc when wanting to flash things. If I use this, I should be able to flash away.
But what about resorting nandroids. This doesn't work with that. Hmmm
Just trying to wrap my mind around it

Yep very good app I did use it in till I downgraded.
Hey guys!
I´m trying to get the hang of flashing on my HTC One S. From the beginning I just wanted to get a good deodexed ROM with Sense, but after trying 4.2.2 on a Galaxy S2 I would really like to have it on my One S.
Here´s my question...
I have found some great ROMs that I want to try. I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 and I´m S-on. I know that I have to fastboot the boot.img before flashing any ROM. But is the boot.img the one inside every specific custom ROM (the .zip) or what? Do I extract it from the specific ROM (the .zip) or do I go about it any other way?
I have asked this in one specific thread but no answer. This is really Everything I need to know Before I start flashing... I feel I´m rather comfortable with all other info I have...
Thanx in advance!
Well, if there is no mention of a seperate boot.img in the OP, flash the One inside zip file
If you're stuck in a bootloop, choose the appropriate kernels from kernel threads
So I was right? I extract the boot.img from the rom.zip if nothing else is mentioned in the OT? Then I flash it through fastboot?

Hi !
Just download from playmarket this app " flash Image gui" , with this app you can easy extract kernel, and modules from your preferred rom, and flash them. All this app does automatically, just choose your zip file.
But you can choose another kernel, and flash it over , I.e. bubba vn 4 on Liquid, or Holo black bean.
Just download kernel from dev. tread and flash with "flash image gui" all this is for a few minutes.
As long as I have a Nandroid backup I can use AllInOne tool to flash stock kernel, recovery and my backup, right?
The Kernel-thread you mention... I actually can´t find it. Or am I missing something.
Can I ask Another question? If I want to flash another Radio with S-on... can I do that while in TWRP recovery? I have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477&highlight=flash+radion
I already have openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img flashed on my phone... so as I understand I can just flash the radion from TWRP-recovery?

Here is the tread from "RMBQ"
And, I think you can flash with all in one tool, but I have no experience with.
About S-OFF , please read tread in development section.
Thanx guys for all the help!
All went well and now I have 4.2.2 on my HTC One S... sweet!
