[Q] How to flash the latest radio? - HTC One S

Recently went back to stock 1.78 (from cm9) to try and get the latest OTA update, but it only gives me the 4.0.4 update.
Im currently on radio 0.16 but want to get the latest radio (1.11?) before putting a JB rom on.
Its been ages since ive done much with my phone since i was happy with cm9 but ive managed to get supercid and s-off so far. Now I understand the process to flash the radio, but I dont know where to find the latest radio. Can you simply take the radio.zip out of the latest OTA thats linked around here somewhere or is there more to it?
Hope that makes sense,
Thankyou.

On 1.06 or s-off this way. You should use TWRP recovery so.
The thing you'll see is called aroma installer. Just tag the radio you want and it'll be flashed. There is a sense and an AOSP/AOKP version of that installer.

There isn't a collection of radio's somewhere that you can permanently flash? Thought it'd be quite easy now with s-off.

The sense stuff will be written permanently to a partition on the phone.
The AOKP/AOSP radio will be flashed to a folder, as e.g. CM 10/10.1 and derivates load it from a folder. The radio needs to be reflashed only when flashing a new AOKP/AOSP rom (as that folder gets deleted). So it's 'temporarily'.
The aroma installer imho is the easiest way to flash a new/different radio. No need to carry around a machine with you to fastboot flash.

What's the most compatible radio version for Jelly Bean Sense ROMs?
I'm running TrickDroid 9.1.0 right now, since it was the only one that worked well with my HBOOT (1.14.0004) / Radio (1.08ts.50.02.16), but the wifi and GPS don't work.

Should be the 1.11 EU. But latest TMUS 1.13 is fine so.

I'm going to have to look up how to update the radio. Hopefully that will fix the Wifi glitch on my current ROM. I'd like to do a bit of tethering next week.

[Q] Will installing new boot img also flash radio

I installed LeeDroid ROM (in this thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658158
Also, I flashed the boot image via the script provided.
Presently my RADIO is: 0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L. Is this a US version radio? or Flashing the Boot Image also changes the radio version?
What is the default version of the Stock Tmobile US Radio for OneS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will not change the radio. We currently only have a newer EU version of the radio. However, TMobile released a new update today.
Your radio is the US current excluding the tmobile update that no one has quite yet.
I also noticed that your build is 1.53, when LeeDroid is 1.78. Was this a pre-rom screenshot?
Thanks for your response.
Yes U R Right. his was taken immediately after rooting and a back up.
Then I installed LeeDroid 2.1.
Thanks for the information. I downloaded the new Radio from this thread.

I should be able to flash the Radio Images just as I would flash other updates from ClockworkMod.. right? I have 5.8.3.1
Nope, you have to relock your device before the RUU can be applied, which is currently the only method to update radio software.
Of course, a device with stock rom/recovery, and (re)locked hboot can also update radio via OTA.
If you had a S-OFF device, the radio update would be as simple as flashing a new rom.
-----------------------
However, a different CID may also prevent you from installing a T mobils's radio.
This RUU update can only be applied to those who have T mobile's or the super CID(11111111)

Cerebeln,
I don't think that having root / unlocked boot loader prevents you from installing a new radio. I just booted to CWM and selected the apply update from zip and selected the radio zip and it flashed correctly. Also I believe if you look in this thread you will see that confirmed there also:

[Q] Radio update/downgrade with hboot 1.14

hi all
i recently bought an htc one S and bricked it of course on the first very few hours ("e:\cant mount sd" in recovery) ,
later on tried to repair with Tmobile RUU with-out success ,but i guess during this trial and error i have updated my hboot to 1.14
found a solution to mount the sd through a recovery and format it in windows and then re-partition it in the recovery
finally it was alive again ,and i installed TrickDroid v7
yesterday after updating to AOKP rom ,i had no wi-fi signal ,tried to search for a solution to update radio in order to resolve the issue ,
found a flashable file and flashed it in TWRP without success ,laer on i have found that it cant be done using hboot above 1.13
now i have read at cm9moddev website (sorry cant post links im new here ,google "update radio htc one s" 3rd result),and i quote:
"Although we do not have S-OFF yet, it is possible to update/downgrade the radio without using an official RUU......"
"....In some cases you may experience wifi issues. If this happens you have to update other firmware partitions. This should be done via official RUU/OTA and will (for now) not be covered here."
so ,can someone please help regarding the process of upgrading/downgrading the radio in order to fix wifi issues with custom roms
we can't. the only thing you can do is change to an AOKP rom that comes with radio build in it

I updated my HTC ONE S (S4) with this rom and the radio did not update.
I am using 1.14 hboot, trying to restore my wifi.
You can downgrade your HBOOT, use the downgrade thread stickied in the dev section

[Q] Updating Hboot?

Ok so last time I flash Trickdroid I had problems with wifi not working (even after doing the WiFi fix) and some ppl mentioned i needed to downgrade the Hboot or wait for T-mobile JB update (thats how long ago it was), So now since the update is out do I need to Flash the RUU of T-mobile JB in order to update my Hboot or what exactly? My Vennom is acting up on me some times and i wana test some other ROMS
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Rereading it, it seems that you actually had an hboot that was newer and couldn't flash radios. S-OFF resolves this issue alone if you're not interested in getting the latest firmware update or if you already actually have it.
ORIGINAL POST:
I've heard you don't need to, but I did it and I'm very happy that I did. I think it helped improve my call quality greatly compared to my older 1.06 hboot. Just remember to S-OFF or else you'll have difficulties flashing kernels and radios later.
I was in a similar scenario and was using AOSP based roms until I decided to switch back to Sense and started using ViperOneS 2.2.0
Basically I this in order:
- SuperCID
- S-OFF
[Decided to switch back to Sense at this point]
- Backup SD card data [I forgot to do this, stupid me]
- Updated my hboot from 1.06 to 2.something latest from T-Mobile using instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250573
- Reunlocked my phone after upgrading the firmware [this wipes your SD card]
- Reflashed TWRP 2.3.3 (Sense installation compatible, check the rom's page)
- Flashed Viper 2.1
- Booted up
- Flashed Viper 2.2 OTA update rom
And started to like my phone again with Sense 4+ and Android 4.1.1
Best thing is that Wifi Tether works great with the 1.13 radio and Viper 2.2

help updating radio

ive been searching for an hour and still nothing
also the search is temporarly off soo that made things harder
t-mo US one s
hboot 2.15
cm10.2
twrp 2.5
S-ON
radio 1.11
im on Hboot 2.15 s-on which means i cant update the radio
getting suerCID looks hard as hell very complicated
can i update the radio by flashing the latest stock rom ?
what are the steps ?
Heya!
I currently have no signal on my phone, so I went looking for ways to change my radio. I am also hboot 2.15, S-ON, and TWRP 2.5.
I discovered going to CM10 stable ROM, then flashing the temporary radio installer v4 in recovery can switch radios (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270&highlight=radio+collection). This is semi-permanent, as it needs to be redone each time you flash a new ROM. It's quick and painless though. It should work on other ROMs, just follow the instructions on that link.
I have yet to fix my own signal issue though!

It works for CM10 stable, and CM10.1.

That page is old so it doesn't reference CM10.2. But CM10.2 is JB, right? So it should hopefully work.
Let me know how it goes!

can Wifi partitions work in JB and HBoot 2.15

I miss my old Viper One S ROM and after a replacement phone I'm on HBoot 2.15 with JB, I think the partitions are all changed and although I can install Viper One S perfectly, the wifi partitions no longer work. Obviously I'm trying to run an ICS based ROM on a JB base but surely there must be a way.
Have partitions changed so much in the JB base and latest HBoot that I need an updated version of wifi partitions or is it just not possible?

I remember of flashable wifi partition in the one s development forum they were released by Zarboz. Try searching in the beastmode bricked kernel thread. Anyway team venom just released viper 3.0.0 based on jb 4.2.2 and sense 5! I suggest you trying that. Sense 5 is much better than 4 and ICS. It also has a lot more customizations.
