Hello, I rooted my phone a little over a month ago, have ran several different ROMs and flashed a couple radio's, I recently installed WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES AT&T Inspire 4G ROM and now I can not seem to flash a new radio, yes S-off is off, SD card is mounted and USB debugging is on and the zip file is named PD98IMG . Even tried switching ROMs to RCMix.Energized and still can't flash a new radio.
When I go to HBoot and it starts to flash it says no image found, have even tried a different radio and still had the same result. Help the radio that I am using is not very good for my area and would really like to switch to a better radio for my area. On speed test have ave. on DL 1.73Mps and on upload .884Mps and the ping test is 111.5ms all with 5 separate tests. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that the zip file has the .txt file and the .img file and the file has no double extension .zip.zip

Everything is proper, PD98IMG.zip file is named just that and and it has both files in it. I am getting the radios from the Inspire Radio Thread [OP Restructure 01-20-2012] on this site.
Try flasing a different radio to see what happens. I leave you the one I have been using to see if it works...it has for me of course
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/PD98IMG.zip
that radio is 12.41.60.19x_26.06.04.14_M...I have a couple that I have used in case you want a different one...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
That's actually the one I last tried flashing, I am running 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M. Haven't tried any of Desire radios
That is the file that I flashed in my inspire, so give it a try so see if it works.

It worked, thank you so much. Could you post some of the other radios, just encase this one doesn't work out. Again thank you.

Yeah...tonight when I get home I will leave the links...anyway I have to send you also the link for the matching RIL, if not you might experience an excesive battery drain...
Hey here you are the RIL for the radio I sent you yesterday. In a while I will send you the links for other radios....the RIL is flashable in CWM

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?
Thanks

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 think some of these rooting programs/routines like Bubby's root are causing the loss of hsupa. See my post here about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12828255&postcount=2961
I extracted the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file in the \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder from the hack kit. I opened it up in a hex editor and found the version - 26.03.02.26
You can download the radio in PD98IMG.zip form from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace
So now we just need someone whose HSUPA is not working to downgrade to this radio and see if HSUPA comes back. If it does, then you can flash to 26.06.04.14 or 26.08.03.07 from the same link above.
I am thinking you may be onto something..........
I flashed the downgrade radio. Upload speeds still slower than before I flashed the stock radio. Now I am going back to the radio I had before stock and see what happens.

worst case scenario, wouldnt it just prevent android from booting up? if so, you could always put the correct kernel on the SD cad and reflash it from recovery right?
Per the hack kit thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
I believe the kernel he links to in there is the downgraded Telus kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=518730&d=1297824204
EDIT: I believe its the boot.img in the hack kit in he \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder as well.
Before I went back to stock I was Uploading @ 1.50Mbps. Went to stock radio because of the ROM I am on and my Upload speeds won't go over .30Mbps. Using the downgrade radio didn't help. It was a good idea.

I had the exact same issue. Like I said re-rooting fixed the issue for me. I was thinking that loading the downgraded radio would fix it, but maybe you need the downgraded kernel as well?
did you confirm it was the downgraded radio in "about phone"
Yeah, that was the first thing I did. Check to make sure the radio flashed correctly. I have to go put the kids in bed now. I am pretty bummed about my new slow upload speed.

There has to be an easier way. I can confirm that HSUPA came back for me after the downgrade, before I rooted or flashed another ROM. I've looked through the hack kit and what gets pushed to the phone during the downgrade, there's not a lot of files in there:
android-info.txt
boot.img
hboot_7230_0.85.0007_101011.nb0
radio.img
rcdata.img
recovery.img
splash1.nb0
splash2.nb0
system.img
tp_ACE_SYN3KT0108.img
tp_ACE_SYN3KW020B.img
tp_atmel224_20aa.img
tp_atmelc12_20aa.img
userdata.img
We've tried radio.img and that didn't do it, m next guess would be boot.img, which is the kernel if I'm not mistaken. I am not sure what all the other files do specifically.
I like your dedication. We'll figure this out...

So this guy claims to have fixed the HSUPA issue simply by reflashing the downgraded radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11847379&postcount=17
Maybe it's because he flashed radio.img directly instead of the PD98IMG.zip method?
I see we are still trying to figure this out???

For a quick test, can you reboot the phone again? I know when you edit build.prop, most people say it takes two reboots for it to take effect. Maybe just for the hell of it, reboot a second time and then try another speedtest? It's probably worth a try.

Thanks. I got mine working but it involved going through the hack kit and losing all my data and then having to re-root and all of that. I'd love to find out what part of the PD98IMG.zip file fixed the issue, so that hopefully people can flash just that and fix their issue without losing data, re-rooting, reflashing ROMs, etc.
I am half tempted to purposely break my HSUPA just to figure out the fix but I'm not feeling that masochistic just yet.
Right now I am back to the stock radio and looking into some things. I will be back in a bit, hopefully with some info.

Cool good luck. I wish I would have caught you in time to try the second reboot. Maybe you will be brave enough to reflash the downgraded radio and then also do the downgraded Telus kernel?
I am going to read up on what all of these files in PD98IMG.zip do. Maybe the answer is in one of those other files.
So after reading up on the files some more, I now believe it could be rcdata.img, which has something to do with controlling the radio. I opened it up in a text editor and its a small file that contains a handful of line:
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1
That's the entire file. What I posted there is the one from the downgraded radio in the hack kit. Maybe this file needs to be reflashed in conjunction with the downgraded radio? In theory you could open up the PD98IMG.zip file that you downloaded for the downgraded radio, and then add the rcdata.img from the hack kit to the PD98IMG.zip file, and then flash PD98IMG.zip and it should flash both the radio and the rcdata.
I didn't want to change the radio firmware because its the firmware that came with the inspire 26.06.04.06_M. I updated RIL and afterwards the GPS gets a very solid lock fast 9 points. I now get 5 bars, I was getting 3 and the calls are more clear.
Please see this link here. I booted to recovery mounted /system and then ran the zip file update. Rebooted twice (I know what is the deal with the twice factor?) And, everything works great now.
I figure that updating to newer drivers is a lot safer than updating the radio firmware and I was correct.

and to the others...all you really need from that post is the install steps, which couldn't be any easier to understand:

Installation: (Tks to siedkins )
1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Full nandroid back up
3. Select flash from SD card - select radio
4. Should get a notification to reboot to apply the radio flash
5. Once rebooted it will automatically take you back into recovery mode
6. Mount "/system"
7. Select flash from SD card - select RIL
8. Reboot once that has flashed and cross your fingers !!!

choosing a radio is really by preference so the best advice i can give you is to experiment with a couple of radio's till you find 1 that works well for you thats what i did
it wouldn't make no sense for me to tell you to flash this radio or that radio because some radio's may work good for some & not for others ya digg

This has a .zip you download that will include 3 files. The new Radio, already in a bootloader ready PD98IMG.zip file, a file called id10ts_ATT_Custom_ROM_Speed_Booster.zip (which is actually just the new RILs and the Prop Editor app (which can be removed) which is CWM flashable, the 3rd file (telephony.db) will not be needed for this process
Put these 2 files on your SD, boot to bootloader and install radio. Boot to Recovery and flash RIL. Done
On a side note - I have not been able to get GPS to lock for the life of me on the last 3 or 4 ROM/Radio combinations I've had installed. I've tried every single fix on these forums and nothing seemed to work. I was most recently running Android Revolution 5.1.3 (Gingerbread ROM) with the recommended GB radio. I flashed this new ATT radio, flashed the RIL, flashed the radio again, flashed the RIL again, and I appear to have GPS back. Finally.
So I tried to update to the latest Radio for ATT. I was getting a 2Mb up connection.
I tried getting the RIL for this as well via
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=YCU9JUCT
Once I flashed the RIL I'm lucky to get .55Mb up
Is there a way to remove the RIL? I've looked around and have yet to find a way. I've tried reflashing the radio and downgrading the the stock one...which got me 1Mb-ish. And then putting back on the newest ATT radio.
Help please!

The RIL is flashed separately from the radio. Typically you will get the best connections by having a matched set. If you want the newest radio and RIL for AT&T, click the top link in my sig and go to the second post. It has them in one zip file you can extract.
So run the radio as a PD98IMG through hboot and then flash the RIL? Just wanna make sure I'm doing it correctly.
Edit: So I went to the link and answered my own question. Thanks!
So I had the problem where I was not provided a locked APN. I chose menu and reset to default and it gave me the stock att one. And my speeds are worse then before.
Run a nandroid backup, then flash attn1's pd98img ROM. see if that changes anything.

Yep, easy as pie. I would recommend reading up on radios before you flash them. Sometimes the newest one isn't the best performing.
Yeah I'm back to stock. I couldn't find one that was recommended for cm7. And I get 3down and like 1.5 up or so. Can't complain. Its all a learning experience though.

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.

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.

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.

Today I flashed the 09.04.11_M2 that is suggested on for LeeDroid 3.2.1 and now I have lost all notification sounds, lockscreen sounds, and keyboard sound feedbacks. Can anyone help?

First, try another re-flash of the radio.
I did a full wipe and restore and got all the sounds back. Reloaded the RIL and everything works fine.

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.
