How do you remove PG06IMG.zip?

I don't know the exact commands to as i get the problem of HBOOT keep asking if i want to update but I need to access recovery.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Aaargh!:
How do I copy the download to the "platform-tools" folder? I have adb working fine, but cannot locate the "platform-tools" folder. Sorry but it was along night

I have copied it to the Android SDK Tools folder, but when I try the first command, it says it cannot locate the file

got it. as i said it was a long night
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DonutGrunt:
How do you ADB pull the PG06IMG.zip file?

edit: nevermind, I figured it out by just booting directory to recovery from command prompt

adb shell boot recovery
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
cool. this was easy for me. first thing i did was installed nfinitex's leaked gb rom then i put the PG06IMG.zip file on the root of my sd card without any commands just copy and pasted, and then did the old volume down+power and it asked me to update did it. and rebooted and started up fine. i am noticing better signals. i was at the same spot and was getting -94dbm before updating it and now im at -79dbm to -84dbm. i gotta say thats pretty good.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
Alright well idk if its the radio but I keep getting sms failures..but only sometimes and my calls and data work perfectly ..is anyone else experiencing this??
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
I noticed my phone downloaded off of 1x (mms) and wifi (file download) simultaneously. I don't remember my phone being able to do this before. Anytime I click to download say an mms picture it connects to 1x or 3g to download but wireless still works at the same time.

I didn't get better service at work but much better at home thus far. My wifi is much faster now for sure and 3g seems to be faster as well.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
Well I came to the conclusion that sms failures were due to the rom.I was running the gb leak from nfinite and when I restored to mikshift I got a lot of messages I wasn't receiving. And also I have to say this radio did improve my signal. I'm gonna try downloading a mms and using WiFi
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
The sms failures are because sprints network is down in some areas.

Sent from my CM7 powered Shift
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
Really? Well with mikshift and the newer radio I haven't had one sms failure and with the gb leak I kept getting them

Edit: well I just saw the article on engadget about that and I guess its true ..oh well. I went back to mikshift for nothing I guess
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
I believe this is, and has been, normal. I think it also works like that when you have an active 4G connection and you get an MMS: the 4G continues to work while the device uses the 3G radio to download the MMS content.

The key words here are *believe* and *think.* I'm pretty sure I have observed this on my Speedy using CM7 and the original baseband, but I'm not sure I would bet my life savings on it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
Plug the sdcard into a card reader attached to your computer and delete it there. If you don't have one you should and you can find some dirt cheap. Mine only ran me like $3 OEM on amazon.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwrmedia:
24 hours in on the new radio, and can honestly say not noticing any significant improvement in 3G strength or speed. Additionally, I haven't successfully been able to download anything from the Market since installing the new radio, though I'm not sure if that's atrributed to Sprint's network outages or what.

••Edit•• Wiped dalvik, and can d/l from market again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jefftet:
I had the same issue and I reverted back and now I'm downloading again. Of coarse it still could be outage issues too.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
My signal at home, which was never good, is barely there. Seems not to like it indoors.

EDIT: wiped dalvick and seems to have helped some.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kbrn:
I haven't had any MMS issues but I don't know if anybody noticed already that going to dialer and type ##DATA# on the advanced settings menu where its supposed to be the sprint MMS server address is blank.

I left it as it is 1 because I haven't had any problems and 2 I don't remember the right server address..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
So, just download. Copy paste to root of SD card. Boot into recovery and it will ask me to update. Do I have to format my SD card before doing this? Also, before rebooting can"t I just delete it from my SD card while I'm in recovery. Before I reboot.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Thanks for dumbing it down :p . Did just what you said and worked great. No problems. Definately noticing an improvement in signal. Before same spot -87 to -95 . Now same place is -76 to -84 . Also, solved my isssue with not being able to access ##3282# on the TMartin03 GB Leak rom. Now it's all good.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
That seems like a lot of effort. All I did was download. Move the whole zip file to the root of SD card reboot into bootloader. Let it load the image and update. No computer needed. Only u will need to wipe ur data so if it hangs up remove SD card or else it'll keep wanting to update the image.

Radio works fine for me. And how do u check the wimax radio version
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
+1 on installation process. I put the zip file on the root of my sdcard using esfile explorer, booted into bootloader, let it work its magic and after it said finished I booted back to system and moved the zip file from the root of my sdcard into my download folder on sdcard. I had no issues at all... Wimax radio, from what I have gathered, either isn't getting an update or it wasn't included in the leak...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gu1dry:
The biggest issue with just dropping on the root of the SD card is it doesn't verify the md5sum, which could cause you flash a corrupted radio & brick your phone. Sure you can take the risk, but the method I have listed in the OP is recommend, safer method.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Ahhh. Good to know. Oops. So I could have done a number
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Hmm. I just noticed something. When I switched to cm7 from stock. My 4g at full signal is at -101. Its laggy as hell. I don't think its cm7 itself because it does connect. Could it be the kernel? I'm using standard cm7 kernel. Also the update helped a little but my 3g is just as horrendous
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] edgemaster191:
i'm not sure how i feel about this new radio:

3G speeds are the same as before, signal strength seems ok for the most part...

the weird thing is this, i'm sitting at home about 15 feet from my Airave where i usually have a constant -66dBm is now all over the place, anywhere from -77dBm to -94dBm and i can watch it jump around while it's sitting in the same spot it always sits.

it's not going in and out of service, just weird to see it fluctuate all over the place
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Read in a few places Sprint is working on ( improving ) the network. Had an no network issue about a week back. Called after I got signal back and was told the same thing. Network updates.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nvhush:
You do not need adb or a PC to do this. I installed both radios successfully and simply downloaded the files, installed them with the bootloader, removed the sd card, did a wipe, and rebooted to avoid hanging on the htc logo. After all was done I simply restored a NAND backup of nightly CM7 v77 and I have MUCH better reception. Thanks a ton!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jefftet:
How about downloading?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
Guys, it is vitally important you check the md5 before flashing... A corrupt download WILL brick your device. Radio updates are the fastest way to an expensive paperweight.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Is there an app for your phone or pc that allows you to check the md5 sum for people who don't have adb? Or another way to doing a md5 check I lost adb about 5 mins after rooting my phone and can't get it back due to an error 37 in its driver so I was a brave one
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
AFV (Android File Verifier) from the Market.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
you could also download terminal emulator from the market. when you see $ type:

su (hit allow if it asks for superuser permissions)

you should see

now simply type

md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Thanks man I have terminal just don't use it much at all
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
You can't download zip files on your phone? :p

No problems at all here using my phone for the whole process, INCLUDING checking the checksum (Hint for newbs: *any* "adb shell" commands can be done in a shell on the phone).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
donno if anyone is having problems flashing...but if you are running on a non-sense based rom and flash this...you will need to boot into recovery and wipe dalvik before itll boot. figured that out when making my splash zips. OP, you might remove the wipe dalvik cache from the androidinfo.txt just so everyone can use them without issues...

if this has already been fixed please ignore this post.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
Shouldn't you be getting your kernel updated for 2.3.4 instead of trolling threads harassing newbs? :p ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
If I could find 2.3.4 kernel source that actually

compiles

, it would be done already. ;)

In other news, this radio seems to be working well for me. Data speeds appear to be a bit better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Well after using this radio for a while, I have to say it is better. Getting better reception pretty much everywhere. Including in the house. Also, battery seems to last a little longer. Maybe because it's not serching for signal all the time.

Shifted on my Mik BETA G powered Shift from neverland using XDA Premium App
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nvhush:
What about downloading? Download the zips using the browser with Linux set as the UserAgent on the browser that comes with CM and just copy the files to the root of the SD before going into bootloader mode. Do 1 file at a time while renaming them using the file manager or "cp" in the terminal and make sure you check the MD5 sum using the "md5sum" command via busybox in the terminal emulator. Like others have said it is very important to make sure they are not corrupt.

su

cd /sdcard/download/

# md5sum PG06IMG-radio.zip

# md5sum PG06IMG-wimax.zip

cp /sdcard/download/PG06IMG-radio.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

reboot

Then go into the bootloader via reboot & hold down Power+VolDown and follow the instructions.

After the update is applied it will automatically reboot and may hang at the green HTC logo forever so pull the battery, put it back in, and go into clockwork recovery and do a factory reset or restore a NAND backup of your choice. I always fix permissions, wipe dalvik, battery stats & cache. That's it. Hope someone bored with no PC finds this useful.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
I did. Only I've never done wiped battery stats before. I'm running CW 3.1.0.1 and when I hit wipe battery stats.... nothing.... it just puts me back to previous menu. Did it twice same affect. Is there supposed to be a status indicator? And when I wiped cache. Said something about the SD ext. What really is that good for, making the partition
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dave0704:
Thanks, the directions where super easy to follow and worked like a champ.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
never flashed a radio before, but saw this and figured i should... one question though, how do i know which .zip to download, 1.17 or 2.72? by the way, i'm running GB shift deck ROM right now, will this radio work with it?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
so i noticed the baseband version on my phone shows 1.07.00.1129, so i'm assuming i'd download the .zip for that version. what about the WiMax .zip file underneath that - do i need to flash both of them?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
No. 1.07 is stock and what you already have. If you want to update flash 1.08. There was no updated wimax radio so the one you're seeing is stock. So, just flash 1.08.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
thanks for the info! one more thing (sorry to be a pest!), can i just download this to the root of SD card and flash it thru recovery, or do i have to follow those instructions in the first post verbatim?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Place it on the root of your sd card, and boot into hboot, your phone will do the rest

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
I would definitely suggest following the instructions. The first time I just put it on the root and let it update, no problem. I had to unroot my phone and once I rooted again I figured I would do the the the same thing. Big mistake.. My phone wouldn't get past the HTC screen and i couldn't get into recovery. Had to run the one zip to recover my phone
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
nice... thanks to all for the quick help!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nvhush:
It would be good to flash the latest radio for WiMAX too as it helps performance.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
ok... so i've read thru posts and noticed some people having issues after installing like getting stuck at the boot HTC screen. before i flash the IMG, i wanna make sure i won't have to take out my battery cuz i can't! ever since i put the otterbox commuter series on i've been unable to get it off! LOL... some mentioned that you'd have to delete the .zip file before rebooting the phone.

so i wanted to ask, if i boot into HBOOT, install the IMG successfully, can i then boot into recovery and mount USB storage to remove the .zip before actually rebooting my phone?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
I believe after it updates your only option is to reboot the device. I think Android has to boot before you can access recovery. As I mentioned before, The second time I flashed the radio after re rooting I got stuck. I had to take out the SD card and remove the .zip from my pc in order to get my phone to boot.

There was no new wimax redio released.... only cell.

Updated to the new 4G radio without any issues. Thus far I dont see much improvemets on my 4G at work but we will have to wait and see...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Updated Radio before and saw improvements. This time with the WiMax update I'm not seeing much of an improvement. Maybe just in my case.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Are you guys updating the 4g radio with an AOSP ROM or a Sense ROM?

Sent from my EVO Shift 4G
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
I'm on Sence rom. Also, now I am seeing better performance on 4G. Signal is only slightly better. But it does hold onto it a heck of a lot better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
It shouldnt matter. I did it on Shift deck 1.2x (AOSP)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nurrwick:
Vast improvement in *stability* of connection at home with the new wimax update. I saw basically no change with the updated cell radio, but I definitely welcome this firmware.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Hmm... don't know if I notice anything different at all yet, though service seems to be a little stronger... or maybe its just me

Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwrmedia:
Definitely a noticeable (positive) 4G improvement in terms of signal lock and strength. The jury's still out on any 3G improvement...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
I know with the 3g radio from the leak I lost my settings and had to flash back to sense to change them back. Should I expect the same with the new WiMAX radio?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
These radio's work well for me. The only problem I have with the >

From 2.72.651.2 RUU:
Radio: 1.08.00.0506
md5: 6f00fb2c65222ce21a224e8bbe5d67a9
WiMax: no WiMax radio was included in this leak

was the no boot after update. And of course the .zip still being present on sdcard. So i pulled my sdcard out, booted into bootloader, booted into recovery, data factory reset. Put sdcard back in and reboot. Thanks for the radio's :cool:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Thanks for the updates!!! Just a couple questions. 1: with the wimax update, do I need to wipe or format anything? I didn't when I flashed it. Also, this is the latest update? Right?

Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cmags:
Couple quick questions:

Are the 1.08.00.0506 radio and 27240 Wimax radio are two separate images or does the 27240 Wimax radio update include the 1.08.00.0506 radio. IE, do I flash both (one after another) or just the Wimax radio?

Second question - what are you guys using to compare your Wimax signal? Is there a menu like the signal strength for the normal radio or an app that will give you the Wimax signal strength? Or are you just going by feel (and possibly seeing placebo effect)?

Finally a quick note:

For those wondering what Wimax radio version you already have, open up Terminal Emulator (get it from the market if you don't already have it) and type:

$ su
# wimax_mtd

That will give you a lot of info on your Wimax radio, including the version (scroll up to the top of the output). There may be other ways to get it, but that was the first one Google gave me. :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
I installed both just fine one after the other. Just do a data factory wipe before installing them in recovery or you phone might not boot after flashing the radio's
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] finalhit:
if you get stuck at the white HTC screen after flashing, clearing cache/dalvik worked for me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] noskoviak:
In all reality my phone is better then ever running miui 1.7.1 and the sparks co kernel. But

Should I even worry about updating my radio? I don't use 4g anyhow(we don't have it in my neck if the woods). And I heard the 3g performance doesn't really increase. What about voice quality in general?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 1Rider:
i updated to latest radio and wimax version, cannot really tell a difference in signal strength.

still poor 4g reception inside buildings.

has anyone run into GPS problems?

When I checked the md5sum of the wimax you posted it is giving me the numbers from the old one listed in the OP's post...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
Sorry I believe that is the old wi max radio sorry bout that will see if I can find the new one.

EDIT: I can upload a copy of the new wi max but as I only tested it to see if it was seen by the boot loader(which it was) I can't test it,as I don't live in a 4G area. Hate to have you flash it and bork you Phone.

You can download the ruu zip from here and extract the wimax .img from it :

i was curious because they're listed under different RUU's, so i didn't wanna try to flash the new WiMax file and mess up my phone!

U can flash it if u want but you should use the adb method as posted in op
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
My only advice is to MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THE MD5 SUM!!!! If it matches up, you are good to go! What I did was I verified the md5, put the file on the root of my sdcard, booted to bootloader and let it do its thing. I can't stress enough that the md5 sums have to match.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jwigley24:
well the md5 listed under the 'Radio: 1.08.00.0506' is different than the md5 listed under the 'WiMax: 27240'. i flashed the Radio successfully, which i assume means i have the md5 listed under it, which means i shouldn't flash the WiMax. is that right?
