[Q] Where to get firmware (not radio)? - HTC Desire S

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

doubleshot model numbers - census

Can I get a census of people's model numbers?
If you pull the battery, the last string of numbers under the last bar code is what we are looking at.
I have two doubleshots, and I have two model numbers (part numbers):
99HML001-01 A
and
99HML001-00 A
What does everyone have?
Wondering if this has anything to do with the odd problems people are having with ICS Roms, and with the HTC unlock tool.
When you post your model number (part number) can you say if you've successfully flashed an ics ROM, and if you've used the HTC unlock tool successfully?
I have not flashed any ICS Roms yet, but am going to try soon - I have also not used the HTC unlock tool on either phone as they are both S-OFF now.
Thanks!
(any other observations on deviations between any model numbers would be great too)
I have "99HML001-00 A".
Unlocked S-ON, unable to flash ICS ROMs.
99HML001-00 A
revolutionary
flashed piroice once
99HML005-00 A
I used Rev Unlock Tools.
I've flashed 3 ICS Roms.
One based of the Sensation Leak.
Two Based of AOSP Soucre from Sensation

The 00 A one.
No issues since the SOD fix was implemented.
Only really given "TBalden's" ROM a try as i found it most complete. As well as the fact that he helps out so much if you want something fixed.
Also: used Revolutionary
Just my spare change.
i told you this in the IRC but i'll document it here so you have it all in one place:
99HML005-00 A
haven't flashed anything ICS, or anything really for that matter, since updating to 1.55.531.3 by the OTA. i am kind of wondering if the people having problems with some ROMs are people who also updated by the OTA, and thus have the new radio and the other extra firmware bits that came with the OTA. it seems people who never did the OTA can flash anything at will..... is this correct?
edit: am also S-OFF by the Rev. method
Mine is 99HML001-00 hope this help also used the rev methed
99HML001-00 A here
didn't flash any ics rom btw, s-off'ed with revolutionary and such
I've got a 99HML005-00 A
P/N: 99HML001-00
all ics roms run fine
Recently received a warranty exchange
P/N: 99HML001-00 like all the others thus far
Revolutionary
Pyr-o-Ice ICS 1.0.2
99HML001-00 A
Rooted with newest H-Boot, so s-off.
Not able to flash any ROMs.
99HML001-00
Rev S-off
flashed all ics roms successfully
I've got P/N: 99HML005-00A
No problems with any ICS roms.

HTC One S radios?

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.

Radio download links?

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

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

Flash Radio only

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.

[Request] HTC One XL network issue

I have a HTC one XL (s-on, hboot 1.14) with magio rom (4.2) installed. Suddenly my phone stopped getting a network signal. At first I thought its a hardware issue but then I found out it with the software plus its a common issue. Im not an experienced user.
So far I've found out the solutions are
1) Updating the firmware - I have no idea about this. Do I have to install the stock and root again? Is this installing the stock RUU? My CID is all ones, something like 1111111. Will I brick my phone? Do I have to install both th rom and firmware?
2) Beastmod - I feel dumb after reading this thread because it doesnt say what are the requirements to install this. Never installed a kernal before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165880
3) Market app - network speed boost - I tried this, workd like a charm in the first.Sent a few texts but as soon as I made a call I lost the network
Due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I'm sacared to experiment because there is a chance of bricking the phone. I understand the issue is related with android 4.2 so a noob proof guide will help everyone who have the issue.
(example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787148)
kind regards
Whether you decide to update the firmware or install the Beastmode kernel, you will need s-off. You'll find the s-off thread here. You'll almost definitely need to change ROMs temporarily as it seems to be virtually impossible to achieve on a Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM.
The kernel is s-on friendly but many people who are s-on have had trouble installing it. The 2.15 firmware can be found in the first post of this thread, along with instructions on how to flash it. It has nothing to do with returning to stock or RUUs and you don't need to modify your phone other than getting s-off first.

The firmware package being discussed (for resolving signal drop issues on Sense 5 ROMs) and linked by timmaaa above is not an RUU, but just the hboot, radio, boot.img, media and WiFi modules that came with the "official" Sense 5 OTA. It will only overwrite the modules I named, not the ROM. Nothing else needs to be done (you will still have your current ROM, root, etc.).
You must be s-off to install this.
