So I needed to wipe cache first, then boot into hboot and update?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Opposite. Wipe cache after flashing radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I could not get past the tmo screen last time, so how can i wipe cache? I had to adb reboot recovery and restore a backup to get my phone working again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
I think he means wipe cache immediately after flashing radio, ie., before powering off or rebooting, go into recovery, wipe cache, then reboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Freezing at the splash screen does not prevent you from wiping cache. Boot the phone by holding down power and volume down, select recovery from the boot menu, and then wipe cache in recovery. No ADB necessary.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Thanks for the help guys. I will try it again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
As an FYI to anyone flashing the latest radio (26.13.04.19), not only is it possible for your phone to freeze at the MT4G splash screen on the first boot, you may also experience errors in recovery saying /cache cannot be mounted:

Wiping cache seems to resolve both issues immediately.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] biggtubbzz:
I had this same problem and It took for ever to power down my mt4g so I reinstalled the stock radio and everthing is back to normal... And battery life is better

Just flashed the newest radio on my Panache CM7.1. Wiped cache&dalvik before booting, and no crashes. I'll have to see over the next few days if this is any better in terms of the "No Service" disconnects I always get. Previously it seemed that the oldest oldest MT4G Froyo radio was the best at averting these disconnects, but it had crappy GPS response. I think GPS is better so far on this newest radio but we'll see.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
For those of you that don't believe me about radio's changing the bars when having the same signal strength, here is proof.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] _android_:
Seems that all attempts to fix the "No Service" problem are only temporary solution. Flashing new radio, rom, disable Sense seems to fix it for 1 day or 2. Then it came back again.

I gave up and bought a Nexus S, loving it so far after 1 week. Don't know why I chose HTC Panache over Nexus S in the first place.

Edit: I am wondering if the Panache radio problem is caused by the bad emmc. Say during radio status update, emmc hung up a few seconds and cause the signal status to go to zero.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] QUEDRO:
This might be a issue with the Canadian version or networks.

I have been on the last 3 radio updates on my MT4G and never this issue, unless clearly no signal at all in the area.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
It's a 3G signal dropout problem. T-Mobile customers have a 2G/3G network, so you would experience this as a drop down to EDGE for maybe 15-45 seconds, and then back up to 3G. The CDN networks we're using it on have no 2G, so instead it drops to "No Service". I do remember reading that some users notice their MT4G sporadically drops into 2G mode in strong HSPA coverage areas so I don't think this is unheard of.

That being said, there is also some speculation that this correlates to the "bad eMMC" version of Glacier (and it would seem almost all Mobilicity units are bad eMMC, but I haven't read any reports of Panache failure).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
That also happened to me a few weeks ago- got stuck at the splash screen- couldn't get into recovery directly from phone as it tried to re-apply the radio again and again.

Only via ADB I could boot into recovery, then I just restored the backup and booted without any further issues. Not sure if I even bothered to format cache or not.

Anyway, the new radio was applied, but I really haven't seen any real difference (previous radio I've been using was Froyo's 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26).

Actually, I was sure that by restoring the backup I also went back to previous radio so I didn't even bother to check what's installed- only today I read your post and discovered that I have the new radio...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Next time try try removing the radio from your SD card first then booting into the bootloader

Having GPS issues with the latest radio, I could not get any GPS signal outside, switched to the Panache radio and was able to lock on in a few seconds.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fireboypr:
Hello everyone, I think I'm having problems with the newest radio, is there a way to go back to stock? Should I use the same method as I did to flash newest? thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Yes, just download the old radio and flash it like you did the new radio

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ksunnyv1011:
Any idea on what radio to use, for the least amount of standby drain?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] The Archangel:
There's no true best radio. We all live in different areas, so different radios have different results. The latest radios work best for me, while my friend in new York had better luck with the second Gb radio. Best thing to do is to test which one works best for you.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] drutort:
maybe this should be put into the topic...

I had an old 2gb microSD card, i flashed the rom from it just fine...

but for whatever reason I hboot will not detect the zip radio files NONE I tried it on 2 phones, and when I put the same file on different microSD card BAM first time it saw it....

very strange :/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
This is not uncommon. The 8GB card that came with my Panache always works for PD15IMG.zip, but the 16 GB card that came with my Milestone never works.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Songo07:
Browser Error connection

I flash the radio with the 3rd one on my MT4G and I dont know if it was that but every time i get in the browser I get this error:

Internal error Access is not allowed for this user agent in www.google.com

I download another browser and said the same. Does anybody know about this? I have Virtuous Affinity 1.48 running and i got back to the stock radio and still say the same.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
did you try clearing cache and data of browser.apk?

or fixing permissions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Songo07:
Yes, i did that. Some times it let me go normally, and some times don't. And right now out of no where it stop transmitting data and some apps force close.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] osutuba:
Any chance there will be an updated radio for ICS?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
There would be if the glacier gets ics however, last I saw its not slated to be updated.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] fragmentttt:
Is there an easier method to flash the radio? Like just putting it on my sd card and flashing? Because I have no knowledge of adb and Android sdk
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Put it on the root of your sdcard. Make sure it's named PD15IMG.zip and boot into bootloader. If I'm not mistaken it should check for an update. If it does keep going. If not don't listen to me. If, on the other hand you keep going and it finishes make sure to rename the file afterwards.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fragmentttt:
I just tried it. It loaded the thing and was stuck on parsing sd zip and v1 radio for like five minutes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Maybe a bad download? Is the file .zip .zip? My only ideas. Hopefully it gets working for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's why you always check the MD5 before flashing a radio file!

This has been repeated over and over and over again in this thread, yet someone always comes along and posts some half-assed instructions that completely eliminate verifying the radio file's integrity. The OP uses the instructions it does for a reason! Sorry for the rant, but myself and others get sick of repeating the same thing over and over.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Relax, I failed to mention - check MD5 sum. I'm no genius, and I'm positive you have been here longer. In the first post it does say to verify MD5 sum. I gave an alternate option, worked for me. No need to fuss.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Maybe so, but when you give alternate instructions its probably best to include the most important part. The part that keeps people from breaking their phones. When people don't see that in your instructions they think they no longer need that step which just isn't the case. Next time you should be more thorough before you brick somebody's phone.... just saying

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Why would would someone think a step like that isn't required?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Because when you post instructions, the reader naturally assumes they're complete. You never said they were partial.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Didn't think about checking MD5 at the time of post. Thanks for teaching. Lesson learned. I had no intention to cause any harm/had no neg. intentions in mind. I apologize.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Smokem_I:
Glad to see you were trying to help. I think that most of us that have been here for a while are tired of people WHO DON'T READ! It should be required by XDA to at least read the last five pages before asking a question. This would save all of us the heart ache of answering the same questions over and over and over again. It has gotten so bad that I don't even answer questions anymore... Plus the OP for this thread scares a lot of new users when it mentions adb which is not even needed to place the zip on your sd card. I think that's the actual intention because flashing a new radio is not needed and can brick your device if done incorrectly.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You hit the nail on the head. There are questions that I don't answer simply because I'm sick of answering the same thing over and over. I spend a lot less time on XDA than I used to because I'm sick of seeing the same question being asked over and over, when a quick READ would make that question unnecessary. Pretty soon there won't be any knowledgeable people around to answer questions! :rolleyes: I'm not hating on dirtyreturn here, just saying.

And yeah, the ADB instructions are there for that reason. It's not that you can't safely flash a radio without using ADB, it's that maybe an individual shouldn't be doing that if they don't know ADB. Too many people treat rooting a phone, installing a custom recovery, flashing ROMs, and flashing radios as if it's as simple and trouble-free as installing an app from the Market or popping in the DVD to install Windows. It's not. It's much more involved, and should be treated with more respect.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fragmentttt:
how would i accept the radio update in bootloader if my volume up button were to be broken?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It's been a month and a half since that last radio update, but you use the power button to make selections in the bootloader, so you might still be able to update your radio. Unless you need the volume rocker to scroll through the bootloader options.

EDIT: I wanted to add that I said it's been a month and half since the last update to describe that's how long it's been since I did anything in bootloader. Hence why I can't remember exactly what buttons are necessary.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fragmentttt:
i know this may be kind of a weird question. but is there such a rom out there that i can flash that changes my radio in the process?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
There are no custom ROMs that do that. Your only chance would be one of the stock OTA images, but those also have to be flashed in the bootloader, so you'll still run into that button issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
Is it not possible to design an update.zip that updates the radio? I was always able to do that on Nexus One. I wondered why it wasn't common for the Glacier.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saranhai:
it could be possible i guess... but most of us don't prefer it that way. :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Is def possible, just need to add the right script. Flashing it like this tho is basically the same thing just through a different part of the phone. You can also flash a radio from fastboot too.

Fastboot flash radio xxxx.img

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
this has been debated over and over

if the archive gets damaged, recovery will flash it anyway and could brick your device, fastboot doesn't allow you to flash a malformed image...it will error-out

therefore, fastboot is always safer
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erezsegev:
Is it the 2.3.4 rooted version?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jms122589:
I don't think you will be able to. Because it says press volume up to update. So I'm guessing you would need the volume up button.

Froyo base radio on GB rom

This may be a noob question, but I have to ask.I'm on rooted stock gb.My question is,can I flash Froyo Base radio on this Gingerbread rom? What will happen?I tried different roms & I noticed, this (stock) give the best signal strength.When in other roms, sometimes 4G signals were gone for a while.Also little bit low download speed.But Stock never drop 4G signals & give higher dl speed.When I checked the radio.version, it show this ” 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26”.It means,radio is a Froyo base one even on GB rom! Is tjis possible?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Some devs recommend using a GB radio with a GB ROM, but there isn't much to that. There really are no compatibility issues between radios and ROMs. Use whatever of each you want.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crazykas:
Thank you very much for your help!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NovoRei:
My phone tried to kill it self after flash (mt4g white screen locked after 2 vibrations) but a /cache and dalvik wipe solved.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Hi all, I have CM 7.0.1 installed on my phone, and my service has been kinda crappy lately (just trying to use data indoors). What radio should I try? THe latest one for gingerbread ? (because I have 2.3). thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
People have been asking that exact same question all throughout this thread. The answer is always the same: you have to decide for yourself. Different people experience different results in different locations. Generally speaking, if you have no other basis for forming an opinion, flash the latest. It will have all the latest bugfixes and optimizations. It works great for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Thanks and sorry for not reading through the thread. I haven't messed with my phone (except updating CM) and haven't been to XDA in like a year. I have like 30 tabs open right now I"m reading lol. Thanks!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
No prob. I wasn't trying to call you out for not reading. Flashing of radios is one of those things you have to be careful about, so asking questions, even highly repeated questions, is a good idea. Like I said, flash the newest radio and I think you'll be happy.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
been awhile since a radio update...i wonder if that's it for Glacier?

Is there an clockwork mod flashable verisons? Just curious as I have been having a lot of trouble pushing files thru adb
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Absolutely not. That was addressed a few posts or pages back.

You don't need to push the files through ADB if you don't want to. Simply copy the radio file to the root of your SD and flash through the bootloader (after verifying the MD5, of course).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Evo4eva:
I know this question has been asked 1000 times on here, but I can't get the bootloader to recognize any of these radios. I tried ADB, I also tried just putting it on the root of my phone and it didn't recognize it there either. Please someone help me. I did check the MD5 and the name of file to make sure it was PD15IMG.zip

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

Don't know if this helps, but my file explorer apps are all seeing it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
In some cases, even though your file manager will show the filename as "PD15IMG.zip", the actual file name ends up being PD15IMG.zip.zip. Using the same file manager as you've been using, try deleting one of the .zip's and see if the bootloader recognizes it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Evo4eva:
Tried that and didn't work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Hmm. Is the file in the root of your SD card? Is there more than one PD15IMG there?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Evo4eva:
No there isn't. There's basically nothing on my sd card, but the normal folders and the PD15IMG.zip. It us also on the root of the sd card. I'm not new to htcs bootloader. I came from the evo. I don't understand why this isn't working, lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Other than the phone being perm rooted with S-OFF, I can't think of anything else to ask other than what bootloader is installed. Although even the stock bootloader can flash radios so that's probably a moot point.

A problem with the SD card could also be a problem. You might want to try formatting it, and if it still fails, try a different SD.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Evo4eva:
That's a good idea. I'll try a different sd card and get back to you. Thanks for the suggestion.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

It was the sd card,lol. Thank you for that suggestion. I have been having problems with the radio I'm on and now I can finally flash a new one. Thank you very much teejay.

Can u backup ur current radio?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Smokem_I:
If you haven't flashed a radio yet then you most likely have the stock radio. So you really don't have to make a backup because the OP provides all the available radios for the MT4G. So flash away ;)

Sent from my BluMagic CM7 Glacier using the Blu Premium App
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alexriio:
Thanks..which one are you using? Or which one is the best? And is the last one the latest?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Smokem_I:
Yes the last one for Gingerbread is the latest. That's the one I'm using now. Most people say the latest one is good but it all depends on your area and your preferences. In my experience the latest radio provides better signal but drains my battery more on 3G/4G but since the speed is way better I deal with it. Plus I'm normally on wifi when at home so I want the speed when I'm out and about. Best thing to do is try one and give it a couple days to settle in before trying a new one. If you don't like it flash another one till you find one that's best for you.
