when I try to install my radio it sends but it wont write please help I don't understand why.
What do you mean it sends but it won't write? What are you downloading and from where? What rom are you on? Are you s off?
I have successfully installed Android Revolution and I am attempting to install the radio that has been suggested to go with it. After downloading the radio and putting it in its own folder, on my computer, I open the "read me" portion of the radio file, and it looks as follows:
--=[ How to flash a radio ]=--
This guide is for Windows users only! Your phone must be ENG S-OFF. Radio S-OFF is also highly recommended.
Requirements:
- HTC Sync
- A Windows PC
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!
I follow the step to bootload and when I type in "fastboot flash radio radio.img" it gives me this:
sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... okay [ 4.134s]
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I am confused about what I have done wrong. I have used other ROMs and Radios so I might have messed something up along the way.

Please, search for the inspire radio thread. In there is every available radio and matching ril combo, and the radio is in the pd98img.zip format for you. Put it in the root of your sd card, then boot into the bootloader. It'll ask you to apply update press vol up...
A good question tho is do you really need to update your radio?

Using the Eng s off method can give you a brick. It's just a possibility.

To get into bootloader, you can power off phone, then hold vol down and power until it comes up.

OK well go to the radio thread and find the radio you want and flash it, but also flash the ril. You use recovery to do that.

best thing you can do is read read read then read some more lol there are lots of threads about roms,radios etc. and the best way to understand what you are doing is to read and learn. there are several diffrent radios avalible for this phone. but that doesnt mean the recommended one is the best for you .the suggested radio might work very well in one part of the world and then totally different in another part of the world. the best thing to do is read thru the inspire radio thread and people usually post where they live and what radio and ril work the best in that area .just find one you like try it for a couple days and if works well good if not try another one .its just trial and error to find one that works well in your area hope this helps

If you're on a gingerbread Rom, you flash a gingerbread radio. Otherwise you flash a Cingular radio.

You don't really, I would go look in the section for whatever rom you flashed. I'm assuming you did rc mix, and then flash a radio from someone who has that same rom and isn't having any problems with it. Thats your best bet.
I'm running Leedroid right now. Does have the best radio for ATT in the US?

Sure, but you will understand it better if you read it your self. Basically flashing a radio can do a few things, one being to enable HSUPA, this can also be accomplished just by flashing certain roms. Also it helps with WIFI, calling(signal, speed etc) problems in some cases. This is all going to depend on which rom you have, the area, the cell provider(i'm assuming your all on ATT like me) and also it varies. I ran the "telus" radio for a long time with RC mix, but with the latest builds of the rom started having problems with the call not connecting when i pressed "call" and failing. I have since switched to the Cyanogen mod rom and am on the latest radio which is listed in my sig. This has improved call quality, battery life(from the rom and radio as a combo), and also call reliability(no dropped calls, calls failing etc) Hope that helps you guys
Is there away to go back to the stock radio if something goes wrong?
If you don't have problems with the stock radio then just stick with it. There's more risk than reward when flashing radio.

Yeah I have to agree. If you mess up somehow while flashing the radio, your phone will become a paper weight. If its not giving you problems, then no need to flash the radio.

Flashing the radio does not enable HSUPA on the Inspire 4G. From what I know, the Captivate requires to flash a different radio to enable HSUPA.
Editing the build.prop enables HSUPA.
modified from Kirk's old post
1. Download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BX5GV1CJ
this is a zip file containing two files. one is radio.img from ATT stock radio, dont touch the other file.
you need to remove this img file and replace with the Gingerbread radio.img
from here http://www.multiupload.com/BE0V4H8QQY
extract the radio.img and zip into the PD98IMG.zip with the other file already in the PD981img.zip. (two files)
2. Place the PD98IMG.zip radio file on the root of your SD card.
3. Power the phone off, remove and reinsert the battery.
4. Hold the volume button down and press power on.
5. The phone will boot into Hboot then Bootloader, It should see the PD98IMG.zip and ask if you want to apply the zip.
6. Use the volume up button to select "yes"
7. Once its done flashing, reboot the phone and you should have flashed the radio.

your method can flash any radio
I've seen devs mention to flash a radio from Hboot and Fast boot before. Are these terms synonymous? Fast boot is accessed from Hboot correct? I've flashed a radio a few times, but never understood the terminology. A PD98IMG is always flashed the same way from what I understand.
More or less correct. HBoot flashing is done with the PD98IMG.zip on the SDcard. PD98IMG.zip can contain any number of images to be flashed. Fastboot flashing is done using the fastboot.exe and can flash a single image.

I've never quite understood what the advantage is to fastboot flashing. Then again, I've never truly understood fastboot in general.
Something I definitely need to do more reading on.
I've tried several times, and several methods to flash my radio to the 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio img. And nothing seems to be working. My best guess is its user error. I'm a noob and trying to learn how to flash my radio. I currently have the 12.39.30.19P-26.06.04_M with the TPGB-Ninja_0618 ROM and [email protected] #28 kernel.
I've done the method where i go into adb to access bootloader, then i flash the radio.img then reboot the phone and that doesnt work. I've tried running the radio.img though CWM and that didn't work.
If I power off my phone and then hold power and -vol down to get into the bootloader it automatically will go into hboot and start to run through the PD98IMG.zip. I'm wondering.
Do I need that .zip folder on my sdcard forever or can I get rid of it?
Also, can I just switch out radio.img in the PD98IMG.zip with the new radio.img?
Can I do the above question without having all the other .img 's in the .zip folder?
I've done some research, but haven't found my answers, or was able to fix my problem.
So hopefully someone can help me.
Please be gentle with me, I'm new to this type of thing, but a fast learner.
Thanks in advance

Assuming the PD98IMG.zip containing the radio flashes properly, you can remove it afterwards.
Have you checked out the inspire only radio thread in the dev section, yet?
There's already a ready-to-flash PD98IMG.zip for the radio you want to flash on that thread.
Download it from that thread, verify the MD5 checksum, plop it in the root directory of your SD card, reboot into hboot/bootloader, once it finds the PD98IMG.zip, confirm the update, and away you go.
Ok I'll try that as soon as I get to my computer. Thanks for the reply and I'll let you know how it goes.

Just don't forget to check that MD5. I have had incomplete (meaning...BAD) radio downloads on a solid WiFi connection, so it DOES happen from time to time.

Couple of things. 1) Be sure to give the radio long enough to "warm up"...I'ave had it take several hours after flashing before I started getting decent speeds from a radio I know works. 2) It is usually recommended to keep a copy of your radio flash on your SD card in case you need it (GPS fail, etc., ) so you can reflash if you are away from a PC, but not keep it in the root of your SD. It's very possible to end up in a continuous boot loop until you somehow either get the file off your root (SD card reader) or fool the phone into thinking it isn't there by pulling the SD card when you pull the battery to recover (I've only heard the last trick works)...

You've also made sure you have the appropriate RIL for the new radio you flashed, correct? That radio thread also has the RILs + info about them, as well.
Also try rebooting more than once after flashing a radio/ril, just for good measure.
When I first flashed the 04_11_M2 radio, I had only rebooted once, as a result of the flashing process. Once my phone was done loading up, I received my first call with it, the caller couldn't hear me, but I could hear them. Caller tried calling back. Same thing. I decided to give it another flash and reboot. I called that person back, and it was working, never experienced that since.
Coincidence? Who knows? But radios are weird, quirky things that seem to need a little "voodoo" type flashing/rebooting to kick them in, I suspect.
Well I think I found out why I'm getting these speeds. My radio has a "P" and not a "U" like in meiguoguizi's sig. I have the same radio as that (number wise) but he has a "U" and not a "P".
The radios that I can flash have an "x" in that place so won't that just mean it will switch to whatever letter my data is running on?
I think I found out why I am having this problem.
I can flash the radio.
I can flash the RIL.
But I have a "P" where the "U" is supposed to be to represent the HSUPA speeds.
If thats the the reason then I don't know.

I think that U/P thing is determined by one of the settings in the build.prop file. I know it's been discussed before, I just don't recall the details. If you visit the "editing the build.prop file" thread in the dev section, or possibly amongst the comments in the inspire radio thread, I think you might find the specifics in one of those places.
Or browse through henrybravo's posts, I think I remember him explaining it to someone.
Bottom line is that you have the same radio, it's just a setting that's determining the connection type and as a result, that letter changes, depending on that setting.

Yes the x is a placeholder (remember your algebra).
Open he's right. You have to flash the Riley that goes with the radio and then reboot twice. Make sure you are using the best radio for your Rome.

Rileys and Romes....I can dig it
I recently bought a new Desire S which works great with me. I installed an update that upgraded my hboot from 0.98 to 0.98.0002. Now I need to s-off it using AlpharevX but it only supports 0.98. My question is: is there a way to downgrade it into 0.98? I followed another guide on the site that didn't help at all & didn't even provide the right rom. Any help
not sure but i think that u need to flash stock rom with 0.98.0000 then s-off ....maybe someone can provide hboot 0.98.0000 image
that's exactly what i've been hoping for. hope someone could do that

ok, thanks so much but I have a very silly question. How do I flash the .img? I know its a very silly one but I'm still a bit of a noob in Android
Reboot your phone into Bootloader and then choose Fastboot.
Open a cmd window, cd into your android sdk folder and then type:
fastboot flash hboot example.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*replace example with the name of the img.
I did what you said but when I write "fastboot flash hboot saga_hboot_0.98.img" it displays:
{sending 'hboot' (1024 kb)...
OKAY [ 0.189s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.339s}
any idea what might be causing the signature check error?
I suggest you to flash a RUU and then S-OFF it.
Better and safer.

download this one and install. put ur phone on usb
u sure? i have a slow (but unlimited) net & what should i do after that, just run the installer & it will downgrade the hboot?
Exactly. It will replace everything: ROM, radio, hboot, etc.
L.E: Have you checked this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078497 ?
actually, yes. I've tried the following but it didn't work. Every time I reach step 10 it finishes but doesn't change anything. And I have another question but its out of the topic, if I flash Virtuous Unity ROM, will games & apps recognize the device as HTC Desire S & be compatible or what?
Yes, your device will be recognized as Desire S.
Ohh, that's a great relief. Thank you so much for your help up till now. Hope it works out in the end. Sadly, I won't be able to continue the process today & I'll have to continue tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll immediately post the result when I wake up & finish the process (probably I'll wake up here at about 8:30 - 9:00) & the download takes 30 min. so I'll post the result at about 11:00 - 11:30 in Romania .
Ohh thank you so MUCH. It worked!! Luckily I backed up all my things first. The most important thing is, my hboot is now 0.98.0000! Thanks a million again .
Really glad it all worked out nicely. Have a nice time testing ROMs !
Yeah, got Cyanogenmod & Virtuous Unity but liked Virtuous more. Anyway, thanks so much for all your help . As for anyone that needs to downgrade his hboot, I suggest that he downloads this program & it will do all the work: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca1f...977_signed.exe. Not my fault if it bricked your phone or if it didn't work but it worked for me. & note that it will erase every thing on the device so back up first.
Hello,
sorry for posting this question here, but as a "new" user with less than 10 posts I'm not allowed to post in the developers-area.
I S-OFFed my new HTC Sensation, installed CWM 4.0.1.4, super-wiped it and flashed Revolution HD 2.1.0.
All seemed to work well, I can power on the phone and use everything on it - except that I've got really big problems getting a wifi-connection!
Before flashing Revolution HD I got a really strong wifi-connection to my home-WLAN with all bars lighted up. After going to Revolution HD it's mostly impossible to connect to my WLAN, only when moving next to the router I get one(!) single bar and a more than weak connection.
Does one of you guys have an idea what could be the problem?
I did nothing else than described above, I flashed nothing else...
Thanks in advance and best regards
cool400
Have you checked the md5 checksum before flashing?
Yes, I did, it was right - directly on the SD-card.
Is there another Radio-version that may solve my problem?
Or does this have nothing to do with the Radio?
did you flash the recommended radio on the Android Revolution HD 2.1.0 thread?
No, I only flashed the super-wipe and the ROM itself!
Where can I find the recommended Radio?
And: is this step reversible?
Regards
cool400
You can find it just below the downloadlink of the rom.
Yes you can reverse it. Read the instructions how to flash a radio.

Maybe there's another thing that could cause this issue:
I removed the back-case of my Sensation for having easier access to the SD-card!
All problems above occured without the case - maybe putting it back on the phone could solve my problem? Are there any antennas integrated in the case? I can test this not until this evening after work...
But is it advisable to flash the Radio-version in the first post anyway?
Best regards
cool400
Antennas are definitely built into the case. I don't know whether the wifi antenna is, but try putting it back on and see if that solves your problem. I'd do that before getting the new radio.
Thanks for your statement, I will definitley do this before flashing the new Radio!
If it works, is there any need for the new Radio-version? Does it make connection/stableness/quality/battery-life better?

I followed this guide from mike:
Code:
--=[ How to flash a radio ]=--
This guide is for Windows users only! Your phone must be ENG S-OFF. Radio S-OFF is also highly recommended.
Requirements:
- HTC Sync
- A Windows PC
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!

I'm guessing you have ENG S-OFF, so the issue isn't here. Well, here is how I did it:
1. Download the PG58IMG.zip file and put it in the root of the SD card
2. Go into bootloader (volume down + power)
3. When it asks you for update, press volume up to accept
4. After you flashed, make sure to delete/move the file from your card.
5. Done

Thanks for your fast replies.
But which PG58IMG.zip do you mean?
I've downloaded Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01.rar from mike's post!
BTW, I'm on S-OFF (done it mike's way).

Go to this thread and find your radio (I flashed the same one, it's on the end of the list): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143

It worked the way you described - thank you
Hi, I've recently installed the Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 ROM on my Inspire 4G and I'm having problems when I'm using with it another provider (Not having service when I'm in an area where it's supposed to have) so I was looking forward to a solution and noticed that I had to flash a radio also. The problem is that when I'm trying to flash the radio included in the same thread it goes well until a point where it says "FAILED Remote: not allowed". Does anyone know how to fix this or if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Where are you getting the radio download?
You can only use the radio from the ARHD OP if you are eng s-off, which most people aren't. You need to do this:

It sounds like you are attempting to flash using fastboot in which you will need to get eng hboot.
Iwould suggest flashing thru regular means! Go to the radio flashing forum 4 instructions
sent from Inspire using can & string ver .2a
Thanks a lot for your answers, but i just found the radio file in PD98IMG.zip type and everything went fine. However, I did all this to fix service problems with my phone, and I still have them, can any of you tell if there's something I can do about my phone not having service somewhere where it's supposed to have?

Not sure why but, restarting your phone a couple times after installing radios/RIls seems to resolve many issues.... of course it could be smoke & Mirrors (old Parlor Trick!) heh, heh...
