Guess what, I DID try to install an RUU and it broke my phone as expected. Now i need to go to a ROM which leads me un-rootable :)

All that was needed to be done was one simple txt file change. Sad, really.

And for the record, I've flashed via fastboot hundreds of times without any issues so yeah, I have no issues with it :) I don't get it, the image is copied to the phone, if the connection dies in between, it's aborted. If successful and then the cable dies, doesn't matter. Right? What's the problem? :(

OP: If you haven't done the mainver change yet, PLEASE DO SO NOW IMMEDIATELY!

[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Whenever I follow instructions in the first post I get the CID incorrect error and update terminates. My Incredible S is AlphaRevX S-OFF.

This is how I have flashed 4 radios so far without any errors.

1. Check md5 to be sure we have no corruption.

2. Extract the PG32IMG.zip and copy the radio image (radio.img) to the adb folder.

3. Start adb

4.

adb push radio.img /sdcard/radio.img

5. Once the file is copied...

adb reboot bootloader

6. Once the bootloader opens... (white screen with multi coloured rows of text)

fastboot flash radio radio.img

7. Watch the progress in the cmd windows. Once complete, restart and enjoy

fastboot reboot

I cannot install adb on my laptop

Hello,

My Incredible S is also AlphaRevX S-OFF, recovery installed and rooted. I could not manage to install adb on my vista laptop from here - http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/ but i have HTC drivers installed (see attach). Is there any other way to for me to flash the new radio ? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
How did you install drivers? Have you installed HTCsync as well? It installs more than USB storage drivers which OS installs.
[HTC Incredible S] ehsan76:
You can setup the Android SDK by installing Droid Explorer from this link:

http://de.codeplex.com/

If you have 32 bit Windows installed then download the x86 installer and if you have 64bit Windows then download the x64 installer. It will setup the Android SDK for you without much of a hassle :)

Alternately you can also simply copy the PG32IMG.ZIP file of the desired radio at the root of you SD card and reboot into the BootLoader and follow the instructions after selecting Fastboot there.

Let me know if you face any more help.

Ehsan
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
@ Master Darko

The drivers were installed automatically when i first connected thr Incredible S to my laptop. I have not installed HTC Sync.

@ ehsan76

Thanks for the advices, i think i'm gonna try tonight to flash the new radio via Fastboot. I already tried 3 times to install adb on my vista operating laptop and it was always a mess.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
You have to install HTC sync in order to use adb. Windows will only install drivers required to access your phone as mass storage. All the advance mode drivers including adb are installed with HTC sync. What I did is install HTC sync, which installed all the extra drivers needed, then I uninstalled the HTC sync as I don't use it, leaving drivers installed. You will see drivers get installed as a separate package.

After that I guarantee you will be able to connect via adb.

There are 2 ways I know that you can install the radio. The one listed in the first post and one I listed few posts earlier.
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
Thanks Master Darko,

I have installed Droid Explorer, everything is OK, my Icredible S is connected. I know it's a noob question, but how to flash the new radio now ? By starting console ? And where is the adb folder ? Is the one in Program files>Droid Explorer>SDK>tools ? It is the only place where i find apb.exe. Is this correct ? And another question: it is normal not to see the cotent of the sd card when i'm connected with Droid Explorer ? Thanks

[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
During the Droid Explorer setup it would have asked you to setup sdk. If you chose to set it up and used the default location, adb is located in the SDK folder with Droid Explorer program files.

How to flash radio now? Step 1: find where and if you installed adb. Step 2: Start it and follow instructions in the first post or ones given here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15814490&postcount=75

You should be able to access everything on your phone including SD card without mounting it. Normally if you restart the phone and PC, these things fix themselves.
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
Thank You Master Darko,

I have found adb.exe in Droid Explorer>SDK>Tools but when i want to start it, by double clicking on it, it dissapears in no time. Gonna try Droid Explorer console and see if it works.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
We are getting there slowly. You can't open adb.exe on its own. You must open command prompt (cmd.exe) on your pc and change the folder location to where adb is located. Once there, type 'adb devices'. If it all went well adb deamon will start and display connected devices. Only then you can do all the flashing through adb. Also, make sure that 'usb debugging' is enabled on your phone.
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
Finally made it !

Thanks everybody for their help !
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
According to your screenshot, you have only copied the radio image to as card. Excellent!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15814490

If you look at that link you still have to reboot into bootloader and flash. You may have already done it but just double checking. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
Actually i only wanted to be able to flash a new ROM or a new radio "by the book", not actually doing it. I'm new with Android and i would like to learn as much as possible. I'm using a lot my Incredible S as a business phone and i'm gonna wait for the weekend to test the new radio. Thanks again !

[HTC Incredible S] danial.aw:
does this have the latest bell radio? or is the current one better?
[HTC Incredible S] florio1960:
Back in trouble again - SOLVED

I have tried this weekend to flash the new radio, but if you look at the attachment i did not succed.

I'm asking why:

1. Is it because i just started where i left ? I mean i have stopped the process after pushing the image on the sd card.

2. Is it because i'm not correctly usb connected ? I have tried "HTC sync" and "disk drive". Should i try something else ?

My Incredible S is recognized as you can see, i do not know what else to do.

Thanks in advance !

Problem SOLVED - In search of threads with the error i was writing above i found out the fact that the radio.img file was supposed to go in the SDK/tools folder. After putting the file there everything went well.

Hi,can you get the latest OTA's update file?(2.30.707.1)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Can anyone be a super help and recommend a good new radio for a Canadian Incredible S? I have been using Mike1986's suggestion 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M for some time now and it still works great but it seems like some of the newer ROM's and versions or GB give me a lower signal on the taskbar. Most of the time I only have one or two bars, now I never miss calls that I know of but I use to have a full signal before.

I'm a little scared to flash the wrong radio so I was hoping someone could make a suggestion?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
i'm on 06.03.16 (and cm7n) and it seems to be working great (on telus). i was using 06.03.03 without any problems though.

u can't flash the "wrong" radio. u can always switch back.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
thanks for this. do you know the ril number (e.g. 2.2.0127hmq)?

edit: fyi, the ril number is in fact 2.2.0127hmq crc. it's the same ril that comes shipped standard with most of the roms in the forum so most of us won't need to install the ril files.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Hey thanks for the info man made me more confident to try one. I flashed 06.03.16 and it seems a lot better! Thanks again!
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
no problem. i was on the same boat as you until someone told me it was pretty much brick proof. just passing it on :)

edit: the new radio is not playing nice with my phone (cm7n108, tiamat v1.1.4). poor call quality. reverting back to 06.03.16.
[HTC Incredible S] PhuongHoang:
I'm using both of Radio above, but it seems the same result.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
What is the Ril?? and what does it do? Can someone explain and let me know how to install it?
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
read this for info on ril.

basically, it's a layer between your phone and radio. you want your ril to match your radio for optimal performance, but your phone will still work even if they don't match (at least, from what i've read).

installing ril is simple, you just replace all the corresponding files in /system/lib folder. you can backup the files if you ever want to switch back or you can just install the rom again.

again, the ril provided with the latest radio is the same one that comes shipped with most of the roms in the forum, so most likely you won't have to worry about it.

if you want to check your current ril version, go to terminal emulator and type:

su

getprop gsm.version.ril-impl

cheers
[HTC Incredible S] ruslik0579:
not to put Rils, with them Radio not work!
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
right, radio will not work without ril. there is no need, however, to install ril files manually since roms already come with ril files installed, unless you are installing ril files to match the radio.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
WOW thanks man!! Your just a well of information! Really Appreciate it!
[HTC Incredible S] intelligencexan:
Which ril are u using?
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
2.2.0127hmq crc
[HTC Incredible S] intelligencexan:
I googled it but didnt find it... im on cm7n #108 and with the 06.03.16 radio, it is draining my battery really fast...
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
again, it's the stock ril (i.e. comes with the rom). I have the same set up as you. battery life seems fine for me, but no two phones are going to be the same. too many variables.

did u calibrate the battery?
[HTC Incredible S] intelligencexan:
Doing that right now
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
That did the trick for me.. I use tiamat kernel too on smartass v2.

Best speed and battery life of any rom i've tried yet.
[HTC Incredible S] wlkoff:
Hi, I´m unable to install the Ril zip. I mount System but the installation aborts. Any idea? Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
you do not install the ril zip file through recovery. just replace the files on your phone with the files in the zip file.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
What exactly do you mean by calibration?

a. Wipe battery stats in recovery

b. Lengthy procedure where you charge and discharge the battery.

c. Calibration app from the Market.

:-)

HTC Inc S : CM7 Nightly
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
a or c, the latter being the better option.

let the phone reach 100%, then reboot without unplugging. as soon as it reaches 100% again, immediately hit the calibrate button and unplug. do not wait, thinking that you are going to trickle charge. the battery has a built-in safety feature that does not allow it to overcharge/ trickle charge (i.e. overheat). this is the main reason why people notice the battery dropping to ~95% after an overnight charge, imo.
[HTC Incredible S] intelligencexan:
This happens cuz once the phone is charged to 100% it stops charging and iy cosmetically shows 100% still when the charger is plugged, but in reality it not charging but using the battery as normal... its a known cm7 issue... i have it as well on stable as well as nightly

You should be flash a zip file to root your phone.

This radio is GB radio, thus it is compatible with

any GB rom here.

Hi guys. I have a strange issue.. I flashed new radio's before trough the bootloader but now when i reboot in to bootloader (with ADB or just VOL down + power) it won't scan for the zip file. Nothing happens at all.. I did not have this problem before. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] MrPontus:
I got the same error, then I used Android Flasher (1.8.0) and the update was successfull :)
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
Go into the text file of the radio and check to see if you see these numbers PG3212000 ... If it is PG3213000 change the last 3 to a 2 and than flash the radio in bootloader. Why? Well I find its easier to do so. Put the file onto your root sd card, than go into bootloader (volume down and power) from the phone being off already. You will seen the three androids hanging out at the bottom of screen. Use the arrows to scroll down to bootload and follow the prompts.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

Make sure you guys are not unzipping the radio file. Also make sure you are putting it in the sd card ROOT, ex. make sure it is not in any folders in the sd card drive. And make sure the file doesnt have a .zip at the end of it. Thats all I can think of. Unless maybe the MD5 sum's are not correct.
[HTC Incredible S] jeweettoch:
I fixed it by using a different microSD card, i don't know why my Kingston 16GB class 10 didn't work.. But after using a different microSD card i got the CID error. I fixed that by installing the radio via command line (adb/fastboot) :)
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Anything definitive on the Cid error guys? Short of making a gold card?

I've been able to flash two radios using the files that come with Mike's Roms without issue, yet when I try to flash this new one (which apparently will help with the delayed text messages) I'm getting the CID error that a few people have reported.

I've tried flashing it via bootloader (still get the Cid error), also changing the number in the text file mentioned in this post which came up with a wrong model number error.

I'd really like to get this radio on as the delayed texts are driving me berserk.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Did you try change to gsm only mode?

that should be able to solve your delayed.
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Yes I've known about that one for a while. I'd rather have the problem solved rather than band aid it though. Shouldn't really have to worry about doing things like that on these nice modern smart phones.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Yeah , did you try fastboot way to flash radio?
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Tried method in first post, tried putting onto SD card and flashing via bootloader. Error mssg both times.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Perhaps you wanna follow someway like this , i am pretty sure somebody post it before:

1.Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled

2.Copy radio.img to a location where fastboot can find it. (wherever adb is)

3.Type: "adb reboot bootloader"

4.Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type -"fastboot flash radio radio.img"

5.When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Thanks that worked. It seems the method where you try to flash the ZIP file doesn't work, but after I extracted the radio.img file no problems.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
The method from the first post never works for me. I believe it has something to do with how AlphaRevX unlocked the bootloader. I have to extract, adb and fastboot new radios. The only problem with this method is that fastboot binaries come separate to adb.

Thanks again. Out of interest, I see you are from Australia, have you had the delayed text issues which seem to haunt this model phone, and which radio have you had the most success with?
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I'm glad that I don't send many SMS at all because my problem would drive me absolutely mental . I never noticed the delay in timing of the SMS but my SMS sometimes fail to send. When they do fail to send, phone also fails to update the SMSC number which is radio related as far as my understanding goes. Restarting the phone solves the problem.

I've got the radio you mentioned as of today. I will be able to tell in the next few days if there is improvement. Already reception seems better so fingers crossed.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Optus also released an OTA to fix this, that's if you have their version of software currently on your phone. I think it's a combination of software and radio.

[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:

after long waiting, finally no more delay ...
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
I don't think you can receive OTA updates once you flash a custom Rom (I use HD Revolution). At one stage a while back I did go looking in the phone for where I used to be able to check for updates but it is not a part of the custom Rom.

In any case, after 24 hours of having the new radio, I can report no delayed texts, better reception and noticibly better battery life.

I would definately recommend anyone experiencing delayed text messages try this new radio (03.27), it's hopefully solved a BIG issue for me. :)

That's good that it has solved this problem!

Despite the radio module upgrade and a physical repair intervention some weeks ago, the phone has still some echo/intermittence problems during conversation (even when the signal is very high).

I don't know what to do more. Passing to CyanogenMod, new radio update (if any) could solve my problem?

[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Starting to get a few delayed texts again after some initial success after changing to .27 radio. Had one last night delayed two hours. So frustrating.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Delayed text is more related to your wireless service provider, than to your phone. I tried a test text message from a s40 Nokia phone and hey presto! Sms to the same number in the other room was also delayed by more than 30 minutes... How'd you explain that?
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
I would tend to agree if it were not the same sim card I have used in many several other phones, all of which have never had any problems with delayed text messages. The internet is rife with people having the same problem with this phone.

It would seem there was an OTA update that has solved the issue for some, but they are having random rebooting issues after the update, and of course, if you have rooted your phone and have a custom Rom, I don't think you can even get the update.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
+1 to this. it has something to do with your mobile service provider
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
Why does the problem instantly disappear when sim card is put in a different phone, and if it were that simple, why are there threads everywhere on the internet from people all over the world experiencing this issue with this phone?

Put incredible s delayed text into Google.

Battery drain with new radio?

The .27 radio has definitely fixed my delayed SMS on 3G. I can't believe it after months of trying different radios to no avail!

However - my battery drain is enormous now! I believe it's the new radio. Even in sleep mode, the drain is around -27 to -37mA when it should be about -16mA.

Has anyone else experience this? So, at the expense of having to go back to delayed SMS, I might have to switch back to an older radio. :(

maybe you have a user error
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
