[HOW-TO] Flash the latest radio for your One S - HTC One S

There is a guide on how to flash a new radio on the One S, but its outdated and obsolete.
While we still dont have S-OFF yet, there is a trick that lets you flash radio images.
Requirements.
The latest TWRP recovery image. Available here.
Grab the latest US or EU radio here and copy it to your SD Card. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/radio.zip) Click the changelog-button to see which radio's are US and EU.
Lets get flashing
Reboot your device into the bootloader.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Use fastboot to boot up into recovery.
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-ville.img
You will boot directly into recovery from the recovery image, and no restrictions apply. Now simply flash the radio.zip file that you pushed over earlier, and you're all set!
Enjoy!

Is it really bad if I flash a EU radio on my TMOBUS device? I have done so 24hrs ago and notice very fast speeds and good signal strength. I don't get why there is a difference.

got the same result by just rebooting into bootloader, then choosing fastboot>recovery.....then chose radio.zip i placed on "sdcard"...never having to plug phone into PC

On leedroid without the radio it gets about 12mb but with this radio i get 10mb, when i load the same site, this radio loads about 2seconds faster..tmobUS thanx btw

I too just flashed the .zip from Clockwork Recovery from my T-Mobile US phone for the EU radio. Working just fine.

I'm getting an error when I enter stock recovery that it can't find /sdcard cause the file doesn't exist... a little help please

Had the exact same problem as you.
I just flashed the recovery with CWM recovery image. The one in this topic didn't work for me cause it wouldn't mount the /sdcard either. I used a different version.
Then I just installed the radio.zip from this topic.

So if I have the last CWM, just I have to put the zip to the SD, and flash it from recovery?
Edit: The radio I have now is the 0.15.31501S.19_2_10.13.31501S.06L

From what Ive been told, and what I did, was to boot directly into the latest recovery image. Meaning, you dont flash the recovery image first, you simply fastboot boot into it, then you flash the radio.zip from there.
Again, make sure you pick the newest version of the recovery image.

flash directly from cwm?
having already unlocked, root and flashed the latest cwm, can't i just move the radio.zip file to the phone and flash directly in cwm instead of all commands?

Problem flashing radio or kernel

Hi guys,
I unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev and installed leedroid and root OK.
But i'm having issues trying to flash any radios or kernels via CWM or TWRP. Basically which ever recovery I use, it always says it has flashed the radio/kernel fine, but when I reboot nothing has actually happened.
I've noticed a few others on the forums having the same issue. Is there a step I am missing?

Have you tried installing radio or kernel using the fastboot boot recovery.img method just to verify it is possible? CWR can't install radio or kernel images, but supposedly TWRP has a workaround that should have worked.
I can install kernals using fastboot but radio's give me a signature verification error...
As far as I know you can't flash radio images without being S-OFF. "Unlocked" just gives you write access to /system/ and possibly /boot/.
Yeah I thought that too. I wonder why some people can flash the radio via cwm / twrp and others not.
if you get a signature error, make sure sig verify is turned off
and you can flash radios with twrp thru recovery
with cwr you need to fastboot into recovery first then flash radio zip, do not flash radio.img just the zip like any rom

Thanks dude. One thing to note is that I'm pretty sure a nandroid does not restore radio or recovery. So even though it updated those things for you when you were completely stock and ran the actual OTA, I believe that anybody who flashes this nandroid will keep whatever radio and recovery they have when they flash it. If they are on hboot lower than 1.13, they can separately flash the 1.06es radio in TWRP.
should the bootloader be locked? or can i just restore this with un-locked bootloader hboot 1.13 and root?

You are supposedly restoring this back up from recovery and long as you have a custom recovery twrp you can use this.

[Q] Is flashing a kernel as easy as going to recovery and installing it?

Hi i'm new to the att htc one x, just rooted, and installed twrp... then flash cleanrom5. I also noticed clean has a kernel, i did not see an install guide, but i've installed kernels before on my captivate. So what i'm wondering if it's as easy as....
1. place kernel on phone storage
2. reboot into recovery
3. install kernel from recovery
4. reboot
If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?
Thank you :good:
If you are on the 1.14 hboot (rooted on 2.20 firmware) you can't flash kernels from recovery. You have to do it using fastboot.

Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?
If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.
Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.

Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.
If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop
lol Universal City
not bad
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.
okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.
Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.
I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot
open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt
After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?
Is that all right?

So although ROM zip file contains boot.img when flashing boot.img won't be flashed? That's why we need to flash is separately? Is it important to flash it before flashing ROM?
Thank you.R
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.
-dl the rom/kernel
-extract only the boot.img file
- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.
-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc
-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card
-get back into fastboot on your phone
-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder
-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)
-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes
-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik
-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card
You should be good to go from there.
If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.

CM10 Stable Version OTA

Just got an OTA from CM that says a stable build (CM10.0.0) is ready to be installed. My phone is currently running the 1109 nightly.
Has anyone gotten this and successfully installed? I'm about to try it, but wonder if we still need to flash the boot.img first, or if the actual OTA takes care of that. Would be completely awesome if it does.
If you have the old hboot then you can just ota. If you have the new one, fastboot flash boot.img
Sent from my HOX running Cyanogenmod 10
I'm currently running the CM10 nightly from 10/11 and tried the OTA upgrade to the stable version. Well, once I flashed the new version my wifi wouldn't turn on.
It's the same problem I've had previously. My wifi works fine on the 10/11 nightly, but anything after that and my wifi just won't turn on. It shows that it's off in my settings and when I try to turn it on it just hangs and never turns on.
No one else seems to be having this problem so I'm not sure what's going on. I would love to upgrade to the stable build but I need wifi to work. I ended up having to reflash the older ROM and Gapps, so my wifi is working fine now.
Anyone else have problems turning wifi on with the new version??
Thanks. Installed with TWRP and everything is working great.
Just didn't realize that CM even pushed OTAs. A coworker also got an OTA on his GS3 today and installed that way with no problem. They don't have the extra boot.img step to deal with.

Does this mean I need to wipe like I did the first time I installed CM10 or is there a way to do this as an update without losing apps and settings?
Also, is there a way to do this directly on the phone or does it need to be done over USB like I did with the initial ROM install? Sorry, this is my first update since rooting recently. I'd like to make sure I do this correctly.

You shouldn't lose apps or settings, but never hurts to do a backup anyway.
If you rooted from the 2.20 firmware: download the rom from CM and extract the boot.img file on the computer. Then put the two on the phone's sd card. From there, you do the same thing you did the first time. Flash the boot.img and then the rom and GApps. Everything should work fine.
If you came from 1.85, apparently you can install directly from the OTA on the phone.
Thanks for the help. Do I need to do fastboot on boot img from the computer as well, or is there a way to manage it on the phone?
I wish I could just do OTA updates like people on the older hboot.

Thanks for the help. Do I need to do fastboot on boot img from the computer as well, or is there a way to manage it on the phone?
I wish I could just do OTA updates like people on the older hboot.

I use FlashImageGUI to flash the boot.img on the phone. Only thing I do on the computer is extract the actual boot.img file from the ROM.

Ok, just so I have it straight and because Flash Image GUI is warning me over and over: after I extract the correct boot.img I flash it using the Flash Image GUI, then use TWRP to install the boot.img, then the rom zip, then my gapps.zip? Thanks.
I was able to install it without flashing the boot.img. I was coming from the the latest nightly.

Flash the boot.img with Flash Image GUI, ignore all the warnings. Then, it'll ask you if you want to boot into recovery. Say yes. Then in TWRP, just flash the rom and gapps zips. Don't touch the boot.img again.

Interesting. Did you root from the 2.20 firmware?
No Stable for me
The CM10 Stable release for HTC One X is not on get.cm and it does not come up on my ota check on the CM10 nightly (i have the latest nightly)
Any ideas
Hello everyone,
This is the issue i had, when going from 1109 to stable the system will not do a clean OTA, the system will not load, attempted cleaning everything but nothing worked, at one point i even corrupted my memory so i had to do a factory reset, lastly what i did was flash the boot.img again and reinstall the system this got everything back to work. so from experience it seems the stable will need to do a full reinstall.
I hope that will help other people.
EDIT: updated to 1114 but it seems that broke the search feature so going back to 10.0.0 :S

Definitely there. http://get.cm/get/4LO
Excellent. Thanks so much. I managed to get it done. Here are my steps, FYI:
Coming from the 2.20 root with the latest hboot.
I downloaded but did not install the 10.0 stable update.
I went through my file browser to sdcard/cmupdater and copied the 10.0 evita zip to my Downloads folder.
After extracting the zip I copied the boot.img to the root directory of my sdcard. I don't think it has to be there, though.
I ran Flash Image GUI on the boot.img file, even with all the warning.
I then chose to reboot into recovery, where I installed the 10.0 evita zip, then installed the gapps zip.
Everything seems to work, including WiFi. I really appreciate all the help here at XDA. Hopefully my process above will help someone else.

Hey Guys
I'm struggling to locate an OTA for my HOX, is it only the XL that was updated with a stable release? as im unable to locate an endeavoru stable release for CM10?
I've taken a look through get.cm but cannot locate a copy anywhere? did we miss out? ?

[Q] TWRP No OS installed

So apparently I messed something up and wiped my internal storage and get stuck at the HTC boot screen. TWRP is telling me I have no OS installed and i cant find the right files. I have the boost mobile version K2_CL. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be awesome!

So you need a backup from someone. Where did you get your TWRP recovery from?

The reason why i asked, the TWRP posted here on xda is not for boost, k2u and k2ul only.
There are other partitions, thats maybe the reason why you deleted your system.
So first, use a recovery that works for boost, look here.

Not really, Boost-Disable-WP.zip is not a rom, its a kernel patch.
You only get the recovery from there.
Try this link for rom, but i didn't tested it myself.
If it don't boot try to use this kernel.
Flash recovery in fastboot, then boot into recovery and install the rom from sd card. If you are s-on you need to flash boot.img also with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If this won't work, you need to find someone who gives you a backup for your phone.
