[Q] radio question - HTC Desire S

hey guys, I have a question
I flashed the Virtuous Saga v.1.0.0 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669497) on my desire s, and it says the recommended radio is 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M. I'm still on 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03, and I want to know if it's save to update. Are there any risks? And should I even flash it? What are the improvments from the old radio? Tnx in advance!

Advantages / Disadvantages of the new Radio are subjective & the observations can vary from person to person.
If you try to flash it , make sure you backup your ROM (nandroid) before you flash the radio, as a radio flash also wipes the /data partition (i m not too sure if it is /data only or also the other partitions...)!
After you're done flashing, Restore your Nandroid Backup & reboot...
Also, don't forget to delete the radio file from the root of your SD card afterwards!

Okay thank you! I'll try to flash the new radio tomorrow then

Make sure you read the guides in the forums before you flash the radio.
If anything goes wrong , you might end up with a very expensive calculator !!
If you do not have any issues with your current radio, i'd suggest you to stay on it!

Yeah, I just hope I won't brick it... I haven't read through all the treads, but I only have to place it on my sd card, boot in bootloader, and then wait, am I right?

Make sure the filename is PG88IMG.zip exactly & placed in the / of the sdcard.
Reboot the device into Bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to flash the updated radio.
Refer the Radio section in the INDEX .

Alright, I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for your time

If I were you I would just make a titanium backup of the stock rom and then if anything happens you can flash it back and turn s-on again

I think you mean to do a Nandroid backup, right? As Titanium only backs up user and system apps and data.

Sorry my bad, Yes a nandroid backup
However a nandroid backup won't backup the boot system nor recovery so after rooting you won't be able to get back to stock without an RUU which matches your current build.
Though it may be possible by temp rooting first, backing up system and recovery, then rooting via alpharev, installing a custom recovery and doing a nandroid backup of the stock ROM. This may provide all components needed to get back to stock without an RUU, though a bit more research to figure it all out

too bad i already rooted haha
so noone has the RUU for AUs?
and does anyone know how to backup the firmware? or does nandroid to it ? cos i want to upgrade the firmware ..
so looks like if something happens i cant S-on and send it back to repair.. LOL HAHAHA GG...

thnx guys.
That should be it, if your using the non-XE version. Aussie aussie aussie!
Forum noob with a noob question but you have to start somewhere!
This being an .exe file how do I flash the radio? Do I push it through adb shell? as I have only flashed .zip files to this point?

The RUU .exe contains all you need including the RUU radio, however us it with caution as it'll also update the HBOOT.
EDIT: Oops, just run it on the PC & USB connected and it'll take a few mins and back at STOCK everything.
I have seen many posts where people attempt to S-ON and end up bricking their phone, be careful if you need to S-ON.
That RUU isn't for the XE

Ok sweet, so there is no file that we know of for the radio by itself? That's all I'm chasing at this stage, not looking to S-ON and not stressed about the HBOOT.
Help!
Hi guys,
Bought a XE from Voda and tried to s-off = success. Then tried to do the "RUU" and the phone has sh1t itself, rebooting, loop after loop.
I should never have attempted it, I am a noob. Tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, hard reset (all from rebooting into recovery) with no joy at all. Tried flashing another rom from sd card = fail.
Is it a brick?

Which RUU did you use?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
before you say it, yes, I am an idiot. I have no idea, one of the threads mentioned one (which now I cant seem to find that thread again yet) and I tried it, killed my XE instantly.
I have flashed GS2's before and thought s-off = go flash a rom or any sensation ruu but of course, I am a dill.
Is it a matter of flashing (if I can find it) a recovery image from somewhere for the xe;??

I may have ****ed up BADLY (HTC Sensation, Bell mobillity)

Alright, let me preface this by saying that I am a huge dumbass who needs to learn how to read.
I rooted my phone today (HTC sensation, on bell mobility in Canada) and wanted to install an ICS rom on it. (The AOKP official build for the pyramid).
Flashed the rom without updating the firmware, got stuck in a bootloop (Booting animation went fine, it's when I get to the language selection screen that things went south, It would reboot and repeat)
No problem, I went into clockworkmod recovery, wiped/resetted the phone then loaded up my NANdroid backup. Everything was just fine, my phone was exactly in it's state prior to flashing the rom.
***Now, remember my preface? I'm a ****ing dip*******. I went on This thread: showthread.php?t=1459767 in the XDA forums, chose the first firmware package for ICS I saw, and put it on my SD card's root.
It's cringe-worthy how badly I ****ed myself. I completely missed the instructions on the OP, installed the firmware from Hboot (the same way I installed clockwork).
I rebooted, it went into the sense boot and started a loop there. Went into the bootloader, and it searched for the image, then gave me an ''Incorrect CID'' error, prompting me to reboot. Same thing happened when I tried flashing AOKP afterwards.
The only way I can do anything coherent with my phone is to boot without the SD card and then insert it.
I'm completely at loss at what I have to do here. Here's what I plan to do, but I want XDA's recommandation.
1. Wipe/Factory reset through Clockworkmod
2. Install the CORRECT gingerbread firmware, CAREFULLY following instructions.
3. Load up my backup.
3. Go back to ****ty stock sense until I can figure out how to do things properly, while sobbing quietly in the corner.
EDIT: My backup was lost when I recovered it. ****, ****, ****. Help me out r/android, I'm completely at loss on what I have to do.

No, I don't even know what it is. I'm just a noob who got too excited too quickly.
Would that fix my problem?
Did you actually manage to install the firmware that's telling you wrong CID? Cause you shouldn't have been able to. If that's the case, just plug in your SD card with a card reader or a buddies phone, use a file manager, and delete the PG58IMG.
Worst case scenario, head to the dev section and read up the rooting guide, there's an optional step called Super-CID, as mentioned above. Follow the directions and when you super-CID, problem will go away for good.
Good news, is that this is totally fixable.

as long as you can get into recovery... there is still ways to fix the device ...
the super cid will let u flash any of the firmware packages u need to flash before going to ICS rom... so would definitely suggest setting that up .. and then flashing the 3.32 package...
after that use recovery and flash whichever rom u would like to..
Yes Each phone comes with a CID - it is a regon identifier for your phone so it will tell you if yours is HTC, vodaphone, orange etc. Super CID is a CID that over-rides that letting you isntall any rom you want.
A normal CID will only let you install that type of rom, eg if you have a vodaphone rom and install an orange rom you will get the CID error. Look here for running Super CID, it is very easy.
LeJust find the RUU for Bell Mobility then connect your device to your computer and then boot the device in to the Hboot and make sure you see fastboot in red in on the Hboot screen. If you do not then ou need to install HTC Sync on your computer. When you do see fastboot in red extract the .zip file for the RUU and then right click on the .exe file and select run as administrator. Then follow all the on screen instructions from the RUU. This should get you going again.
Now to address why you have to pull out your SD card so you can boot into Hboot. You need to delete the PM58IMG.zip file from our SD card as that is what is causing your trouble.

From the Hboot menu I was able to ''update'' it. But I don't think it updated the way it should have. Stock Sense, with Gingerbread, bootloop'ed, and so does AOKP

He's saying superwipe, not super-cid.
To OP, Superwipe is a script that can be used to wipe data, cache, boot, and system. Some roms recommend using it, others just recommend wiping using clockwork or 4ext's default wipe options.

Correct me if I'm wrong, everyone. You said you were trying to install a AOKP rom in OP. Do NOT use Superwipe script for these kinds of Roms, its not compatible. Just giving a friendly advice .

CM 10 jelly bean HBOOT to RUU

Hi
I'm in some sort of a probleme here...
I flash CM10 for the Ville by xkonni & intervigil everything went good ... Than I tried to go back to my nandroid backup that I did before but them the phone would be stuck a the htc one s and beats logo. I somehow manage to get almost everyting to work but , even with the bootloader re-lock and the original rom and file from my nandroid I cant restore everything using the RUU from my phone ( Rogers/fido ) . The thing is, if I look in the log from the RUU install it says : remote: 44 hboot version check fail
Any clue how to restore the original HBOOT ?
!!!!

That does not change the HBOOT I look at that solution
I don't think you can do anything to the hboot w/o s-off
hboot and boot.img not the same
So, I doubt CM10 would have messed with it
But, it is very experimental--I have been doing this a long time and wouldn't touch CM10 yet--you are braver than me--
Did you wipe ALL including System 2 to 3x before trying nandroid--System would have to be wiped in this case or issues highly likely

Is there a technical explanation for the reasons multiple wipes will accomplish more than a single wipe?
In normal cases only official stock HTC RUU's will change your hboot/bootloader. So flash the appropriate RUU with the hboot you had before, first. If you was on software base 1.78 for example, flash the 1.78 RUU and you will have the right hboot.

This is the log from the RUU.
<T212848><DEBUG><OUT>INFOchecking hboot version...</OUT>
</DEBUG></T212848>
<T212848><DEBUG><OUT>FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)</OUT>
</DEBUG></T212848>
The orignal Hboot from my provider is 1.08 ( And RUU)
but I check in the rom that I use to flash CM 10 and I cant see any trace of a new HBOOT
so... Where did I get hupdated from 1.08 to 1.13 ?
Because as far as system partition is concerned the wipe does not totally get rid of all files and some stuff can be left behind. Also, installing the new Rom may not overwrite all of the partition. It can cause issues with the new Rom running well. With my N1 even some devs recommended 3 to 4 wipes. System wipe is recommended if going to different Rom or changing basebands. Definitely with coming from CM to Sense.
wiping or formatting a partition multiple times and getting any benefit from that sounds like urban legend
I've seen it recommended by numerous people but there's not any reason to think wiping a partition two times or three times is going to be more effective than one time.
Although if there's a technical explanation I'll hear it out...but stating that formatting a partition one time simply doesn't get it all gone or someone heard it from somewhere else doesn't suffice as enough evidence for me.

flashing radio.

hey there. Just another noob question:
How can I find out what radio am I using? Can I flash the PG zip archive in recovery just like I flash the kernel? If so, do I always need to do that when I install roms? Is the radio included in the rom? I think of it as like firmware or recovery, you have to flash the lastest when it was released and that's about it, it does not get wiped when you go to format all parititions, right?
How about firmware? Can I flash this too in recovery? Thx.
To flash firmware you place the pg58img file at the root of sd card , then you boot into bootloader by pulling battery putting battery back in press volume and power at the same time, it will recognise the update and ask to continue press power for yes, let it update them REMOVE the pg58img file from your card or it will continuously try to update the file! I remove mine by pulling the sd card and put in a card reader and delete the file. Delete it how ever you want just make sure you delete it ok. Then your done. That's how you install firmware. Hope I helped.

Hi,
To check radio, go to:
Settings/ about phone/ software information/ more/ baseband version.
Radio gets installed with the firmware.
It does not need to be flashed with every ROM.
Yes, it gets flashed in recovery.
It does not get wiped when you wipe the partitions.
Be very careful when flashing radio or firmware.
Always check the md5 checksum
If you flash the wrong one, or a bad one, it will brick your phone.
So i can flash firmware in 4ext right? If it is wrong... should i get any warning message? Thx

Hi,
Yes, you can.
What firmware do you have, and what firmware do you want to flash?
Sent telepathically from my pyramid
Hi to flash firmware I usually put the firmware on the root of my sd card and flash from bootloader by pulling battery putting battery back in, pressing volume and power at the same time, the device will recognise the update and ask to continue, press power for yes. Once it's updated don't forget to REMOVE the pg58img file from the sd card or it will continue to try to update over and over . So when its finished just delete the file of your sd card. I use a card reader to do this. I just pop out my sd put into card reader and plug into computer and delete the file then put card back into device . But if you don't have a card reader its ok just delete the file however you can. Then your good to go. Hope this helps some . This is how I do my firmware. Best wishes.

yep for radio and hboot change you require SOFF ..when you are SON but HTC-DEV unlocked ..you can only change roms and recovery ..you cant modify firmware
so that's why it would not work... i'll stick with s-on for now since 3.32 works fine for me for all roms... ill get soff when most roms will reqire newer firmware... i dint really wanna do wire trick to get full root.. is there another way of getting this on 1.27 hboot? Thx ganesh..

I see some of them mention Radio_11.76A? Is this the full name for the radio above?

As long as the radio starts with 11 (11.24A, 11.76A etc) it is ICS compatible
I would still update to the latest radio (11.76A) available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
And then do a full wipe of all partitions through 4EXT (don't use superwipe, causes problems) and reinstall ARHD.

[Q] Question about Radio 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110

I download the "[RADIO] [FIRMWARE] ICS firmware and radio from WWE RUU" and flash in bootloader, there show me 4 thing:
1. userdata
2. tp
3. Radio_v2
4. Radio_cust
I know the Radio should be the 3 Radio_v2, what is the other things.
I remember I flash the other radio version before, it just show me the Radio_v2, why this new one have 4 items, the others is the firmware files?
Should I flash all the 4 items? What do the others except Radio_v2 use for?
If I only want to update my Radio, How to do?
Thans!
only flash the radio.img file... I've tried to flash all of them via hboot before and it messed up my mobile data connection...
Note: don't flash any radio if you're not experiencing any errors or weird things on your current radio when flashing any custom roms...

you may delete the other files except the .txt file and radio.img.
What was your data connection problem?
I lost 3G connectivity after upgrading to ICS and can't get it back working (checked apn, changed radio but nothing worked...)
Any advice?

Actually I dont have problem with the old radio 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M. Only becasue I would like to flash the ICE DS, that recommand radio 20.72..., but I dont find the radio 20.72... img file, so I update the 20.76...
Now I only update the radio_v2.img, every things look like ok.
Btw, maybe use the old radio 20.28i also ok. I cant find any difference.
Did you only flash the radio_v2.img? if not, maybe that is the problem.

When i flash the radio including the firmware, my mobile data (downloading) messed up. Its like stopping every time i download ang wont continue.
I've solved it by flashing another radio and firmware
like overwriting it all.

Could you tell me where you download the old radio and firmware? What is the version?
Thanks!

I did not download and flash my old radio but I've flashed the firmware and radio 3831.17.00.16 over my DS and it solved my mobile data problem....
Edit: Before flashing, be sure to make a nandroid backup and this firmware and radio will erase your installed ROM and you will be stucked in HTC logo.... I know that it is wrong but I have to pull out my battery, wait after 5 - 7 mins and reboot to recovery and install my current rom... maybe you should use adb commands instead of pulling out your battery to reboot your DS to recovery after flashing it....

You can't backup your radio. What you can do is look in system setting and look for the smalband version.
Most of the radio's you can find in this forum
Reboot your phone in the recovery mode and do a nandroid backup
And the easiest way to flash a radio is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860253
download the file and flash the radio.
Good luck!

That has nothing to do with the radio version. Which stock rom did you try flashing? Hboot version etc.?

It was long time ago, I don't remember which one but after install I got black screen, and all night I've tried to install back recovery and return back to the custom rom.
My current info:
HTC Desire S, S-OFF (revolutionary)
HBOOT - 6.98.1002
RADIO - 3831.19.00.110
ROM - Virtuous Unity
what actions, should I take, to get stock rom on my phone. Thank you!

If it was a 2.xx ruu or the ics ruu, then your Hboot version was the problem. Hboot 6.98 doesn't have the separate /system/lib partition that the more recent stock Roms use, so you could try updating your Hboot (to 7.00.1002) and flashing the ruu again.

If I'll update my Hboot, my old custom rom will continue to work? Thank you for your time. I don't know much about this stuff

Updated my HBOOT to the latest version, and then installed RUU once more. All work fine now. Thank you for your answers
The revolutionary 6.98... is write
protected. It is usually recommended to change for an Eng hboot before running RUU.

I couldn't find firmware in this thread, that you linked. Where did you get it? Or did you flash this PAC-Man ROM and it flashed radio and firmware also? Were they, sort of, "build-in"?
I might have to uninstall firmware from "[RADIO] [FIRMWARE] ICS firmware and radio from WWE RUU" thread, too...
