Hello All,
Looking for some guidance regarding upgrading radio on HTC one X... was running CM10, but was only getting 'H' (hspa), so i installed the 'twrp' recovery (previous has cwm)...
currently my baseband version reads: 0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32
ive read about alot of people having problems upgrading radio, is there a package file i can just run against the phone that is specific to radio firmware?
many thanx
Did you ever go to the 2.20 Hboot? If so, I believe you cannot flash radios.
If not, you'll find the radios here. Just download and flash from recovery (TWRP).
And in the future, keep this thread in mind (stickied at the top of Development). Its an index of just about all the resources you will ever need.

Hi all. I've recently rooted my HTC Magic (previously with perfected 1.76.0010 SPL post-911 Rogers update) via the method recently posted. This included using the Euro RUU, installing Amon_RA's recovery and then installing the 1.76.2007 Engineering SPL.
Since then I've tried 5 or so roms including Legend, OpenEclair, Cursorsense, etc. Almost all of them installed, but never got past the HTC Magic starting boot screen, even after giving it ~20min (the one exception is Legend, which has worked both times I've tried it).
I am also able to revert back to the Euro ROM (not rooted) with nandroid.
Details:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP50000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18 (recently updated to this version try to fix this issue, no luck)
My process so far:
Created goldcard via unlockr
Installed Euro RUU "update" succesfully with no problems
Used ADB to reflash the recovery to latest Amon_RA recovery image
Used the recovery to flash 1.76.2007 zip from this forum
Wiped data/dalvik/ext (though I get an error on the ext wipe, using ADB shows the /sd folder isn't there anyway)
Used recovery to flash the various ROM zips
Should I maybe be using Fastboot to install roms or a different SPL? Am I doing something wrong here? Legend is nice, but I'd like to try others as well.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can offer!
Were any of those roms specifically for "new radio" (6.xx) ? or did they specify "old radio" (3.xx) And did you make sure the roms were SPECIFICALLY patched or ported for Magic 32A (as opposed to 32B)
Thanks for the response
I ensured they were 32A, but some didn't specify which radio they were for. Is there some sort of reference, since not all them explicitly state which radio to use.

For example the front page of the forum section, you'll see a small handful that have [6.35] in the title, which means they're intended for that radio version.
Ah, I didn't mentally connect that with the radio version.
Some still don't seem to declare which radio to use, ie OpenEclair hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624545.
I can ask in each individual ROM threads if it isn't explicitly stated, but I wanted to see if there was an underlying problem first.

If they don't specify the radio, its usually assumed that it is for the old radio 3.xx/2.xx, just like how traditionally if there was a rom for HTC Magic, its usually assumed it was for 32B. So your best luck since "new radio" isn't as common is to seek out threads specifically for your radio.
Ok, good to know. Thanks for your help!
Are there any risks to downgrading my radio? Any effective difference to the end-user at all?
Are you on Rogers? You'll want to stay with the new radio or risk the silly data cutoffs. Cursorsense should work fine with what you have. 2.1 ROMs are a little more tricky and not suggested unless you have the time to fool with it. Did you boot all the way up with the euro rom the first time?
When flashing are you doing a full wipe? remember that the 1st boot of most roms take a long time after which they are fine.

I'd avoid touching the radio at all, most of the bricked devices are due to trying to change the radios. (and as someone said above about Rogers you're on the ideal radio version)
Hi Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to read over this, i'll apologise in advance if this is in the wrong section. If it is just NUKE
I have a G1 with the old Cyanogenmod v1.4 + JF Recovery and Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 Image.
Can anyone tell me if this is the farthest i'll be able to take my handset with regards to flashing or would i now need to upgrade the handset?
Ideally i'd be looking for the best recovery to use and image to flash if its now possible to put android 2.1 on.
If its possible to flash, can you give me your thoughts on the best recovery, and image files etc to use. Sorry i've not been on for several months so a little behind!
Thanks Very Much!
1.7.0 Recovery from Amon and Cyanogen 5.0.8 are what you are looking for.
I have the Amon-Ra Recovery img, DangerSPL, CM 5.0 img and gapps file also. Just currently reading up on the best way to attack this so i dont brick it!... lol
id switch recovery first using terminal in current rom.. then flash danger from recovery...reboot..then wipe and flash rom.
or u can justd/l the stock .nbh file and start off fresh from scratch and follow the cyanogen wiki
Superb!
Being on Tmo UK, which radio would you suggest Radio 2.22.19.26I
Radio 2.22.23.02 (G1) ? I'm assuming the 2.22.23.02 is for non US AND/OR non Tmo correct?? So i'm assuming the 26I file is the best for me...
Cheers
not sure if that would work or not. but u could flash and try it and if u get no reception or something u can always flash back to the other radio.
and for roms i usually switch btween cyanogen and htclay...his roms are basically cyanogens wit a few fixes...more speed..etc.
Thanks Mikey,
Looks like i can flash the radio with either tbh, if there are reception issues after doing the radio update i'll bounce back in and change it over before going down the route to the CM 5 upgrade!
Thanks for your help mate

This is not development related. Do not post non-development threads in the development forum.
Also, there are many different walkthroughs on how to get to the latest ROMs.
I'm seeing all these posts about updated radios and s-off, but I really am not following, because I feel like I am jumping into a discussion midconvo and so I am lost on a couple of things.
My phone says 1.64 not 1.5x or whatever. How do I get it to 1.7x?
To my knowledge, I cannot flash this update via CWM, I need stock recovery, so basically I need to revert my phone back to stock recovery? Once I revert it to stock recovery, do I flash the update via recovery or through an adb push?
Hopefully i'm making sense, but if im not, then at least you know how clueless I am, and would be able to guide me.
I really appreciate any and all help! Thanks everyone!

1.7x is the rom base that is used which includes an updated radio, for example TMO US roms have a 1.58 base as the OTA has not come out yet. In europe the OTA came out for 1.78 base with updated radios. If you follow the guide i link below you can get updated to the latest radio, and can have more confidence that you are on the latest radio. That being said you can still run the same radio that you currently have on new roms with a 1.7x base but your radio wont be the most updated.
here is a great post from the other thread with exact instructions

thank you for this! I was having a problem trying to figure out these radio, as I just s-off and cid111111 my One S.
Hey all, I'm sorry if this seems an odd question, but I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the process of how the One S gets different features flashed to the device.
I don't have my One S yet (Hopefully it'll arrive later today, 7/27) but I wanted to be prepared when it arrives.
It seems the links are broken in this post and it's stating that this thread is outdated.
If I'm going to flash a new ROM on the device, are the radios generally included in that ROM already? I see that you often times need to manually flash BOOT.IMG on a per-ROM basis due to not having s-off? I'm comfortable with all of that, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything, and unfortunately it seems as though there is little information in some of the threads on XDA that clearly answer my question.
Call it a personality defect, I just like to 100% understand something in every possible way before being able to attempt it. Unfortunately when I don't have the device in front of me, it prevents me from being able to do that, but that's what forums are for, right?
Cheers all, I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer my question.

The latest radio with android 4.0.4 rom is said to be much better in terms of performace of wifi and cellular data signal then all previous versions, unfortunately buying a phone at this stage means that you probably will have a later hboot version 1.13 and this hboot doesnt allow flashing radio from recovery like the previous versions. You can find out more info about the radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
To answer your other question the radio has to be flashed separately from the ROM. Hopefully your phone comes with a lower hboot so flashing wont be a problem, make sure you dont accept the ota update out of the box like i did so u dont accidently get an upgraded hboot. Makes life more diificult ;p.
Its a used phone and is already running CM9, so I'm hoping its the older boot. I already made sure it was the S4, but I just realized that the unlocked phones don't support TMOUS bands, so I'm a bit screwed at the moment.
I don't know what the next step is for me, so I may be forced to move to Straight Talk until I can get another 100% compatible TMOUS phone. I saw it has 2100 HSPA radio frequencies so I had assumed it would work on TMOUS. Needless to say I feel pretty stupid now.
Thanks again for the links, they were exactly what I was looking for!

just boot into bootloader it will tell you hboot. i think .06 is stock one
there are radio links here .10 latest for us--if you want 4.0.4 one--research needed
http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42
flash thru twrp or if cwr you must boot into recovery thru fastboot then flash
Radio from 4.04 update and hboot 1.13

If you want to get this new radio, the only way to do it at this moment is to change to SuperCID and follow the steps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
Here is a thread with radio and firmware from the ICS RUU: [RADIO] [FIRMWARE] ICS firmware and radio from WWE RUU. Also there are a threads with radios here and there. But where can i get older firmwares than the one from ICS RUU thread?
Offtopic: I flashed this firmware with radio (because i wanted the newest, and i had the oldest after downgrading to get S-OFF... i expect i'll get some hatred from the forum for flashing radio without strong reason). It was said in thread that it contains touchscreen drivers. I also flashed cyanogen 10.1 rom. The thing is I feel scrolling and especialy it's "kinetics" are weird, compared to stock rom i had before (i have problems controlling scrolling speed, it's either too slow or too fast). Sadly, i can't remember had it changed after i flashed cyanogen or this new firmware, therefore can't tell the reason. I was wondering what if i had to downgrade firmware - i don't know where to get it. Or maybe i should start a thread about scrolling issue?
and i had the oldest after downgrading to get S-OFF

confused with that line.
what is your phone bootloader status right now? s-on s-off
idk if this one is older or, refer to juggies post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43692733&postcount=1814
You can try extracting it from ruus, that's what someone did (from the Ics ruu) in that thread you got it from. But I doubt the extra firmware being upgraded is your problem anyway, haven't heard of anyone else with such issues.
CyanogenMod does feel different scrolling etc. than sense roms, maybe you just have to get used to it
