Im rooted. S-off. Running Coredroid. Ive changed the radio before but now it wont let me... even with PD98IMG on sd card, and with hack kit.
Stuck on
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
And ideas as to why im not able to change my radio?
more info please? is the PD98IMG.zip being recongized in hboot? or do you actually get it to flash and then it doesn't change?
It is recognized. It loads the file, after it loads, it says parsing then just stops..

Ok, sounds like you downloaded a file that wasn't in the right format to just drop it on the SDcard and boot into hboot. Lucky for us there is an easy way to do this. Go to this thread. Download the radio and corresponding RIL file. Put both on the SDcard and boot into hboot. I assume you will check the md5 sum numbers just to be sure you aren't going to flash a corrupt/bad radio file. . Everything you need is in that linked thread. RIL is easy to flash too, if you haven't done that before. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine. Good luck!
I have eng s-off. downloaded a PD98IMG from that thread, i still get no promt to install...

Ah, okay well I'm not 100% sure now if being eng s-off is going to mess with the bootloader method as described in my previous post and that thread as I'm only s-off and my experience has only got me to this point since I had a lot of trouble with radio flashing when I first started..I'm sure someone else will chime in on how to get you right on track..I know there are quite a bit of threads out there that walk you through flashing a radio with eng s-off though if you find yourself in desperate need before someone can help you out! Sorry man I couldn't be more of service to you
Thanks for the help.

You can have stock SPL and keep S-OFF. Security off doesn't mean you have tampered with the software and they could not void your warranty because of this. The old updates did not have S-ON; they had S-OFF and most employees of cell phone providers don't even know what this means or what an SPL is.
Extract the rom.zip file from the RUU and rename the file to SAPPIMG.zip. Put the file on an SD card and boot to HBOOT. Should be able to update. There are some tutorials on the forum.
but it doesnt update. hboot doesnt search file called update

SAPPIMG.zip
Sorry, lol.
If anything, you could just flash a custom BOOT if you can like Amon's and try to flash a custom ROM -- but if you still want S-ON then HBOOT is the way to go if you can not start your phone.
yeah, so i have wrong file. now searching how to extract. really thanks for advices

Don't have the wrong file, just take the same rom.zip file and rename to SAPPIMG.zip.
i dont have an original rozm.zip, extracted file. i took zip with hboot, boot and radio.

Get one by downloading an RUU you want; download an RUU, when setup is running, dig through some folders to get the rom.zip and copy that to your desktop and use that .zip to update your phone.
Ive done this, but hboot doesnt want to update
Can anyone help me, returning to s-off?
Hey guys, I've been at this for hours and still can't get it .
I'm using a mac, and I've downloaded the PB31IMG.zip many times from different places. I've re-formated the SD card a few times, and when I look up the info it says MS-DOS(FAT32). I have S-On.
I've downloaded the file on a mac, on a toshiba, and even from the phone itself and it still can't find the file. It gives me the:
sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip
no image
loading...pb31img.nbh
no image or wrong image!
I've checked the ManD5 for the one on my phone, and it's correct.
Anyone have any other tips? Thank you so much!

you have to be S-Off to flash a rom, also you have to be in clockworkmod (or what ever you use) to flash a rom
Really? Because all of the other instructions I've read were just to download that file, drag and drop and hboot so something is wrong. I also have read that S-on doesn't matter? But how would I switch it? :/
well the s-on part im not sure about because the un root should be signed by the maker. but as far as i know, hboot can be used to flash a radio if you are s-off, what phone do you have?
I have an HTC Incredible
yea i have a dinc too, when i needed to unroot i just used the rru or ruu, cant think of what, and if you need to get s-off use http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ then look for a flashing guide on the questions and answers fourm for the Dinc for a guide on that, then after flashing the ruu your back to stock
during my recent problem {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14807504#post14807504}
i tried something and managed to flash the mytouch 4G Ruu zip using the RUU.exe of panache. what i did ran the ruu, than in temp deleted the rom.zip and copied the mytouch zip renamed it and it flashed through the whole process, including radio, hboot, splash, everything to stock. though it still says radio off. now will root and see how it goes for couple of hrs than ill flash the panache rom back.
so in short we can flash either Official ROMs using the ruu.exe.
hey i tried this but it wont work. i keep getting bootloader error and it tells me to get the right ruu or something like that for my phone.
I don't suppose you can provide a link to it? The only sites I've found are 404s in Chinese...

you can root this using gingerbreak 1.2, but keep in mind i have a s-off device, not responsible for any loss.
DISCLAIMER. Do it at your own risk.. I am not responsible for bricks....bla bla bla, usual stuff.
If in doubt-STAY AWAY!
Q/A First.
Do I HAVE to flash this FW? - YES, if you want to flash ICS 4.0.3 based rom. If not, it just won't boot. Latest firmware works with previous (2.3.4,2.3.5,4.0.1) roms.
Do I NEED SuperCID? - YES, it will help in case you need to revert and if your CID is not on the update.zip list
Will I lose S-OFF? - NO
Can I use this FW with earlier builds? - YES
Will I lose fastboot commands like flash splash1? - Yes
Is it safe? Never 100% but no fails so far. Flash at your own risk
Can I revert to previous hboot, like 1.17? Yes, make sure you are superCID.
Any disadvantages? None so far
Any advantages? More optimised fw/drivers for ICS. Users report faster ROM operation.
Why does it say ***LOCKED*** in bootloader? Because hboot is locked (don't panic)
Can I go back to **REVOLUTIONARY**? Yes, flash 1.17 HBOOT at the bottom of OP.
HOW TO
0. Make sure you are S-OFF and superCID. Check HERE
1. Download zip from HERE Credits to rmk40, this is FW I used).
2. Do nandroid backup.
3. Copy/paste PG58xxxxx to the root of your microSD
4. Make sure MD5 match!!! MD5 checker I use HERE
4. Make sure MD5 match again!!!
4. And once again, make sure MD5 match.
5. Reboot into bootloader (if you don't know how to do it, don't do any of that at all)
6. microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES
7. Follow onscreen instructions.
8. Now just pull sd card out 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.
9. Reboot into bootloader-go to recovery
10. Put your SD card back in
11. Reboot or flash new rom
12. You are done. Just delete that PG58 file so it doesn't stop you getting into recovery again.
REVERT TO 1.17 HBOOT

Paste on root of SD card, make sure MD5 matches. Repeat update from bootloader (steps 1-12 from above) and you should be done.
If anyone has anything to add, feel free.
Remember, if you flash RUU, then process is slightly different and will most likely involve unlocking via HTCDEV (haven't really looked into it)

Indeed. Mike provided img files from both RUUs. I'm pretty sure it's safe to mix and match, since we ran 1.73 RUUs on normal Senny, but wouldn't recommend risking it just in case. But there is always a brave one ... LOL Who is it gonna be this time?
I've already followed the steps as in mike1986's thread and all went well, but what is the benefit of reverting to 1.17 HBOOT?

nice work on the thread mate, do you want to include a note that mikes files will update the radio too, just make sure everyone is clear on what is updates
Does it improve performance noticeably? I'm just a bit overwhelmed, sorry.

So there will be no possibility of downgrading the radio?...our i have to revert to 1.17 to flash older radios?
I have 10.56 and i m satisfied with it...

You can still do it via PG58 update, but not via fatboot flash radio radio_image_name.img
I want to try this so bad, but I am scared as heck! What do we need to know before doing this? Such as, what do we risk other than an all out brick? Will we be able to go back to what we have now?

Yes it shows Locked in pink... My hboot is now 1.20
My radio didn't upgrade... I still have 10.56....
I flashed it over Ultimite ROM... i thought it will erase my ROM but nothing changed....:-/
It flashed everything but showed cid error in last one... I don't know what was it....
So now i have to go back to 1.17, supercid using adb and fish 1.20 again?
I supercid using terminal emulator... I guess that didn't work...

You tried to SuperCID via Terminal Emulator, while the phone was running? oO
What's wrong with following the instructions in the stickied guide and using adb?
Never in my life i used adb stuff... :-/
never tried to learn it either... But i guess i have to learn it now..
Now tell me what to do?
should i download hboot 1.17, flash it and then reflash 1.20 after supercid?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 this is the thread I have followed time and time again with success step 4 is to do cid
is this firmware just relevent to ics roms or can it be used on 3.0/3.5 roms??????
OK if this is the wrong place to look for help, please someone let me know...
I was trying to upgrade from Energy GB sense 3.5 ROM to the new Energy ICS .
While following these steps:
1. Download the Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from here. As per the post by viperd, you may not be able to revert back to GB if you flash FW 3.24.
2. Download the Energy ROM (when available).
3. Do a Nandroid backup of your current ROM.
4. Place Superwipe, ROM and the PG58 file on the SD Card. The PG58 file needs to be on the root folder of the SD card.
5. Boot into bootoloader and let it update, it will turn the screen off in between, dont worry, its updating.
NOTE: When the screen turns off during the firmware update that it is not finished updating yet. The screen will come back on and continue updating, so first wait for the message that the update was completed. Also check in bootloader that the hboot and radio were both updated. A few problems were the hboot is updated but not the radio and this will then cause a bootloop when flashing the rom. Hboot should read 1.27.1100 and radio 11.21.3504.13_2.
I got stuck...The screen said Invalid CID
Now all I can do is get into recovery or the white screen that shows fastboot,recovery, factory reset etc.
I tried to flash other custom ROMS, other PG58 files, but nothing is working.
I have also tried to flash my backup to no avail.
I don't know if i achieved SuperCID but if I did at one point, I no longer have it. So i don't know my CID or Md5

Its not really ROM specific though , is it...
well, you could try to download an official RUU for your phone (try the closest to the one the phone shipped with) and see if that works (I had a similar problem but with firmware... nothing worked so I had to run the RUU and it helped) BUT hefore you do that try to get super CID and flash a custom rom, I think it should help too.. dont flame me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to help :c
AFAIK your firmware has been updated. You can try flashing the radio separately.
Just flash the latest build from Mike. Or go into bootloader and the fastboot, connect usb cable and flash ruu.
he said he tried other roms, if I were him I'd go for RUU.
I was pretty sure that I needed to SuperCID, but didn`t know that I could force adb to see my phone and run the commands. That fixed it , flashed the updated package and ENergys rom. Thanks for the help and your time all.
