No. But your welcome to try a program soneone created called one click root, also added one click downgrade..Since downgrading steps was posted and seem like a lot of people can do it, I guess no one bothered about it.. but there's a rooted 2.3.4 gingerbread and a non rooted.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
Perhaps it should be added to the OP, as I have never had to do it when flashing radios either? Most folks see a change in the OP then go to the last page to see others experience in flashing the ROM/Radio...if this advice comes up somewhere in the middle of a 50 page thread, it's not that useful.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
You guys have to give things like this time. Flashing it and saying its killing your battery after a few hours of use is horribly inaccurate and gives false data.

You need to use it a few days under your normal use conditions after some full charges... Maybe even a battery stat wipe.

Just my 2 cents.

U using the 2.3.3 sense? My data got better with that rom, but to many fc from it....

[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
How can you say its inaccurate? It is what it is... If your phones done something that it hasn't done in over 6 months of use. And that's the only thing you've changed, I think its safe to say so. Though could be different with full charge and several days of use.... Let us know then Cam what's the situation with each radio version on which rom ..

Flashed the 3rd one with hboot... been running smooth all day... signal still feels about the same, but I've never had a big problem with connection to begin with... battery life is still the same too... done some extensive browsing and game playing (homerun battle 3d and Can Knockdown 2 for about 15-20 min. a piece) and still have 72% left after 6 hours of running... One of the biggest things I have notice is when I answer my phone, the other person can hear me right away, instead of saying hello 2 or 3 times before they hear me... Seems like a very decent radio to me...

I thought for most things flashing via fastboot is the safest method. Is that not true for radio flashing?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
How you flash is not important. The fact on htc phones, the security control is in the radio, so a mistake there could lock the phone or mess up phone reception. S-off really stand for radio security off...

Why not flash the whole zip? You could just download it to your computer and open it with 7zip. Then pull the image out. Then place it on your sd card if you would like :)

Flashing any images via fastboot is never a good idea, especially since there is no md5/sha1 check & you could flahs a radio for a different device & brick your device.

All the PD15IMG.zip contains is the radio.img & a text file for the bootloader to read...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Bronyr:
Tried the third radio - so far, results are disappointing. Speeds are about 50% less, and I'm getting rather frequent loss of network connection - this could be a coincidence but will hang to this one for a few hours and report back.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] cronuslsd:
OK so I know im supposed to wipe cache but how do I do this. When I reboot into bootloader it tries to install the radio again and no matter if i choose yes or no it reboots the phone.

Holding down on a reboot takes me back to that bootloader loop

and holding up does nothing but boot to the tmo logo and go nowhere.

In other words I dont know how to get to recovery.

Any help would be appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sleepyfu:
Lots of ways.

Without writing up a huge post, simply remove the sd card, then going to bootloader to get to recovery, wipe cache, power off. Insert sd card, boot in to bootloader again then follow the onscreen instructions to update radio.

after that i make hard reset trying to fix, but now the phone its working again the SD, but without sim card, i go again to boot menu and found the phone in S=on, i go to the funtion in simlock and showme PD15img.zip its corrupted, how i can fix?, or its necesary sent the phone to warranty? or how i can fix, thanks

If thats the case root it again..

Or you flashed one rom that took away the s=on..

Tried flashing the img.zip to go bak to stock, then root the phone.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] montydrei:
Just wanted to share my experience for those who could use it.

I rooted my myTouch 4G a few months ago, and since then I've flashed the Panache radio, and then the Gingerbread radio (26.11.04.03). Never had a problem, and they worked great with CyanogenMod, Virtuous Unity, MIUI, you name it. Never had to wipe cache after flashing radios, either.

Fast-forward to today. I am running Virtuous Affinity 1.48 now, and I decided to flash the latest radio at work (probably a bad idea, since I usually flash at home where I can use adb in case things in wrong). The flash seemed to go fine, and my phone booted back up on problem. However, I had no phone signal at all.

This triggered a mild panic. As I frantically tried to get WiFi access to revert to the previous radio, I got a signal. However, it kept dropping out randomly, despite being full bars. I decided I would reflash the previous radio after getting home.

Now, though, I've been having no problems at all. I'm still at work, and my phone seems perfectly fine (better, actually, as it reports full signal now where I used to get 2 bars). I guess T-Mobile was having temporary issues just as I flashed the new radio, just to scare the crap out of me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sunlaw2:
Experience on new radio...

Signal usually 2-3 bars,but get more consistent supposed 4g.

Browser does seem more responsive.

no dropped calls.otherwords,seems better.

However,on the one below panache I got internet in buildings I could not get it before.that doesnt mean it was better,as I had some dropped calls.

On panache,it was like good at everything,but great at none.

This radio seems to be the best yet.

Stock radio was horrible for me.

I live in chicago.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sunlaw2:
Simple guide to flash a radio...

for those who cant read the op...(otherwise known as jackasses)

Download radio

Place on root of sdcard

Check md5 with mand5 app from market

Reboot into bootloader

Volume up for update zip (after you check md5sum)

Allow to update

Reboot

Notice md5sum was mentioned twice,so it may be important.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] justthefacts:
At my office I get H with full bars (on both stock and new radio). With stock radio I was averaging about 400 Kbps. On the new radio I'm averaging about 90 Kbps.

A few blocks away from home where I get the best network signal, I was averaging about 6.5 Mbps on stock radio. I did a few tests with the new radio and the lowest I got was 8.8 Mbps and the highest was 13.3 Mbps.

Go figure.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i wish there was a "changelog" for each new radio release...i mean, just because its new doesnt mean that its better, or had bug fixes...do we even have any idea what was done to each new release?

and is it Tmo or HTC making the new radios or RUU's?:confused:

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
yes, download the radio you want, put it on your sdcard (not in a folder, but by itself... in other words, on the root of your sdcard), and get into bootloader by hitting power button and down volume button at the same time when the phone is off, and the phone will do the rest
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
You forgot :

Clear cache in recovery if phone gets stuck at MyTouch screen. For some reason, it's not mentioned in the OP and if you get a bit freaked out and ask without first reading 100 pages of posts, all the fulltimers (i.e. non-jackasses) go nuts on you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sunlaw2:
Lol.I was only kidding with that jackasses.

I really put that there cuz it's kinda scary to flash a radio.especially for jack of ass' like me.

Then it's posts like this that screw it up,and have to read through even more.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] sunlaw2:
Oh yeah.

Once your radio has flashed,

go back and delete the pd15img file.

Hi guys, I flashed 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19 today and after that the market app is FC all the time. I'm using MIUI. I did clear cache of market and it worked again, but when I try to download an application it just FC and then after that FC all the time. Then I clear cache again and works, but when I try to download any application the same problem occurs. Any solution available? if not can I just downgrade to stock the same way that I installed the latest version? thanks in advance!

Edit: Also I did fix permissions and rebooted and nothing!

Edit 2: Nevermind, I fixed it. Went to recovery mode, cleared cache, dalvik, fixed permission and now works!

A radio change wouldn't cause those Market issues. Try clearing Market data and cache, and even try clearing your ROM's cache and Dalvik-Cache, and then fix permissions.

Checked the md5 code & it its correct

Put the PDIMG.zip in the root of the sd card

Turned off FastBoot before try update.

So, what's wrong? Should I have to do anything else? This is.same to updating Froyo to GB, right? So what's the wrong? Please help me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It doesn't sound like you're actually in the bootloader. First boot into fastboot by holding down volume down and power, then press the power button again to enter the actual bootloader. That is where it will find the radio file. Obviously it has to be named exactly PD15IMG.zip.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jr_718:
Also make sure it's not double .zip at the end of the zip.. if it's a zip file you don't need to add another .zip again. Try downloading the file again. Make sure you don't have more than 1 PD15IMG file on your sdcard.

Thanks! I did what you said, but the result is same.Here what I did.

*Power off the phone

*Power on holding volume down button

*See

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

*Automatically begun scan

SD

No Image file or wrong image file

*Stoped scanning

*Begun scanning PD15IMG.zip automatically again & stop again

*Back to the FASTBOOT,RECOVERY.....

*Select FASTBOOT

*See

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

*Nothing happen(mean no automatically scanning) so select BOOTLOADER

*Back again to FASTBOOT,RECOVERY...

*Again begun to scan & result was same.

So what's the problem?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Almost everything seems better about the 26.13.04.19 radio. I've flashed three different radios to my G1 and now this latest is the third radio since rooting my MT4G. Prior to this latest version I never noticed much of a different in any regard. Now, not only is battery life improved, data speeds are consistently a tad faster, WiFi and cell tower links connect faster (such as when turning WiFi and WiFi Calling on/off), and I have an easier time placing calls where I used to have weak service. It seems like HTC/T-Mobile finally got this last radio right.

I'm thinking you ran into the same problem I did where the new radio and the existing contents of the /cache partition didn't work together. The new radio applied OK but when you went to boot into the main OS, the Android part couldn't load so it got stuck at the T-Mobile screen.

As part of restoring your backup, you probably did a factory reset which would have formatted the /cache partition.

Anyway, now that you're back up and running, check in "About Phone" and see if the new radio is there.
