First, this post isn't for most people. If you want to flash your radio via recovery, see HERE. This way is easier in most cases. Otherwise, continue with this post.
Note: Flashing a radio by any method can brick your phone if something goes wrong... which it shouldn't. Flash at your own risk. It worked for me, for what that is worth.
HBOOT Flashable Radio Download.
Download the file, rename it to HERCIMG.zip.
Place HERCIMG.zip on the root (top level) of your SDcard.
Reboot into bootloader, or hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER from power off.
Make sure you are in HBOOT mode, if not read the screen on how to get there.
Once HBOOT is up, it will automatically find HERCIMG.zip and scan it.
You will see it found a radio and wants you to press "ACTION" to continue.
Press the trackball once, then wait. Once it's finished you can reboot.
You are done.
Thanks to Nfinitefx45 for posting the radio in his ROM thread, post #2.
S-OFF Method I used can be found here.
Thanks for this. My university blocks 4shared (along with Megaupload and Rapidshare ). It's sometimes a pain to get the file I need. Thankfully I had s-off.

No problem. By the way, if you need a dropbox link you should just ask... plenty of people here use it, or so it seems.
I can mirror the other radio zip if you want it.
thanks for the heads up, flashed this earlier today and now I get much better reception, so far anyway

Oh, if it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have even known the radio was already extracted
I was going to wait for HTC to post the RUU on their website and extract it on my own. But thanks to you, I'm now up to date and getting slightly better reception.
I'm downloading now and about to flash

You don't need the pit with the tar file.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
This is a full Odin .tar -- no pit file needed.
Question: I had DK17 with Quantum ROM 1.5...I just flashed the .tar in Odin. No PIT file. I also unchecked F.Reset Time (I think thats what it said). I flashed correctly, right? I have 100% stock DK28 now, correct.
Also, is this the official Froyo build?
Everything seems to be working correctly. Rotation is still a tad slow though. Lock screen lag is 100% gone.

That's because the mods took it down, then put it back up again.

I'm less annoyed now I guess since people have already posted rooted versions etc. As long as the stuff gets to the users, in the end I'm happy. I'm giving up on getting a response from the mod, I think - this here is turning into a good thread so let's go with it.

Sorry guys, didn't seen any other thread with the .tar (because it was deleted I guess). Got mine from a source and posted it. Didn't know anyone else posted it. This one is a little different anyway, because it doesn't require the victory .pit to work.
OP can you please remind the users that they will BREAK ROOT and recovery if they flash this.... They will also not be able to install Themes........
Thank you

I will add that, but users can always root again with one click.
It's ok - theres always silly drama around release time so mine must have already been hidden. Keep this going!

This will erase data, root, and CWM. Your phone will be stock DK28 if you flash this.
How do you access CWM after v21e upgrade? I tried pressing power and vol down but doesn't go there anymore. Do I just need to reinstall it?
Thanks
yes, you need to reflash it with nvflash or one click flasher.
