Can i update the radio to the mr2.5 radio on stock firmware? My thunderbolt has the 605.6 firmware.
How is this done? I'm trying to flash just one file from the latest TMOUS OTA for pg2fs_spcustom.img (radio customization files).
I can't determine the partition name so I can't use fastboot to flash it.
Could anyone assist in creating this PG58IMG?
I am one of the lucky souls who was able to update their RAZR Maxx HD and keep root, but the radios failed to flash. I'm unlocked too.
I looked up flashing radios through fastboot thinking the radio image was pretty obvious in the Blur_Version.9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip file. In the modem directory there are a series of files, but not an obvious radio image.
I've seen commands such as "fastboot flash radio radio.img" and "fastboot flash radio_cdma radio_cdma.img" on my old phone, galaxy nexus. It doesn't seem the same here for Motorla. Can someone give me a an idea of what we really have for a radio image inside of the update? I'm probably not understanding something that's real simple here, I apologize in advance.
Thanks,
Lenny
I'm running CM 11 nightlies on a S-Off HTC One S with hboot 2.15.
I would like to upgrade the radio, because I have no 3G data connection atm.
Most guides which I found are for the case of having no S-Off, i.e. S-On.
My best guess therefore is just to flash firmware.zip using fastboot.
However, I am unsure how to get the radio only from the latest OTA's. Inside there is the firmware.zip (in ROM.zip), which has much more than only radio.img. As far as I understand the how-to's, it is not possible to directly flash radio.img, but flashing a zip with fastboot is possible (I also tried flashing the radio.img directly, fastboot gives me 'not allowed' as expected).
The firmware.zip from the OTA is correctly packaged (it has a android.txt or so and is signed). Can I extract the radio.img, put it in a firmware.zip with the extra android file and sign it myself somehow?
Much thanks for your time!

1) With S-Off, any partition is writable if you use the trick described here.
2) Firmware.zip from OTAs and RUUs also contains other stuff next to radio, such as bootloader (hboot), recovery etc. Get the firmware.zip from the OTA or RUU and extract the radio parts: radio.img, wcnss.img, and adsp.img and follow instructions at 1.
3) Can anyone explain what wcnss.img and adsp.img exactly are?
I would like to try the kitkat leak but when I try to sbf back to 9.16 rsdlite says it can't downgrade. How do I proceed? I have an unlocked bootloader.
use the 1.21 utility from the dev forum. otherwise you need to edit the sbf file before it will work in rsd.
