[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
I am having the same issue, I flashed one of these radios. I have been at it for one day now, boot loops, and no recovery. I am trying to flash a recovery through my sd card.

I just checked the MD5 sums of these radios, and the ones that I tested are all bull****...they arent the same

I am not happy.

Im glad to know that Im not the only one here
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
Works fine for me. :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
How long did it take to boot up after you flashed the radio. Mine wouldn't boot and yet when I went to reflash the old radio it booted up normal speed fine.
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
Did u get it fixed yet??? I have been without a phone for 2 days now...not good...I can only access the hboot screen Ive tried flashing a radio overtop, wouldnt work, Ive tried flashing a recovery in bootloader...wouldnt work..tried flashing an RUU and apprently it said model id incorrect. I am about to throw my phone away. I am pissed

Also I cant use ADB because I dont have a usb cord right now.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Have you tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
I've told you what to do. I sent you an email.

If you followed my instructions, you'd have a working phone by now! :P

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

It was instant. Well, usual boot up time. :)

By the way, I didn't use the PG32IMG method, I used Fastboot and flashed the Radio.img extracted from the HTC Official RUU
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
When I have flashed radios in the past it has booted up normal speed but this just wouldn't boot. I flashed it the normal way so I went back and flashed the radio I was on and it worked straight away.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Could I also ask. I know that flashing a new radio increases the main ver which stops you going to back to a lower stock rom. Does flashing a older radio decrease your main ver back to a older mainver? Thanks

Ok I answered my own question. All you have to do is flash an older radio.

I still want to flash the new radio but I don't want it to mess up again. Could someone tell me what they did to flash it. I did it the normal way but I'm running cm7. Could that have something to do with it?
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
All I did was....

Step One - Copy the radio.img to the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe etc. on your PC

Step Two - Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Leave it in Charge Only, normal running mode.

Step Three - Open a Command Window at your adb/fastboot/Radio folder location

Step Four - Type "adb reboot bootloader" (without the speechmarks)

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

Step Six - When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"

Get the radio.img here

MD5 - 3EEDE304296B1E1760AFA019228B69E1
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
when trying to flash the radio a command comes back saying "Cannot load radio.img"
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
you radio.img is in same directory with adb/fastboot folder ?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah i put it in the android folder on my c drive, windows 7
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
you need to make sure it is in same directory with adb.exe,

mine is "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"

Just to make sure:)
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
If you use the PG32IMG.zip method for flashing your radio, you can edit the android-info.txt file inside the zip so that the mainver is a bogus value. I always edit mine to read mainver: 2.00.0000.1 and this then avoids any problems with downgrading.
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
As nsg86 says, you need to ensure your radio.img is in the correct folder.

The message "Cannot load radio.img" means you haven't put it in the correct folder, the same folder as the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I'm sure I have though. I used this guide to get fastboot on my pc http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Thanks man this worked really well after I found out what I was doing wrong :P

Thanks Again :)

Yeah I can see your point. Taking the 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03 with a md5: f727a2dae56fd64eeef525ebf64858f7 when you check it, it is e80cffbe3aab548eae6754c3020351d4 so doesn't match.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
Many a times the md5 is given for the radio.img file instead of the zip file.so please check accordingly.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah your right. I was checking the zip file.
[HTC Incredible S] BadTasteUK:
Woo hoo! Nice one Legs! Merry Christmas! :)
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
You need to ensure you have the HTC Sync drivers installed on your computer and also ensure you have USB Debugging enabled. I also have fastboot disabled.
[HTC Incredible S] shields360:
Sorry for the noobness.

In my settings I currently have the following radio;

20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03

md5 f727a2dae56fd64eeef525ebf64858f7

My first question is: is this an old version of which I could update to a newer better version? ( my signal is terrible sometimes)

How do I check md5 so I know if radios are compatable? ( they are the same if they are compatible, I think?)

If I download the above radio and store it somewhere I can just reflash it if I don't like a radio that I flash, with no harm done...correct?

I've read through this topic and others and I haven't been able to find answers etc. That is why I'm asking for help on the topic.

Thanks :)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
MD5 value is a checksum value the insures that the file has been downloaded successfully and has nothing to do with radio compatibility.

After you download a radio file, you would run a program on your copy that the file and if the MD5 sum matches, the you have a good download and the file is safe to use.

You do have an older version of the Gingerbread radio, so it may be worth it to try a newer version. If you are running a custom ROM you are better off using a recommended radio that is usually posted in the thread. If you are using a stock, or root stock ROM then check the RUU ROM.zip for the radio version.

Radio
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I would download the latest radio. You will find it by going back 1 or 2 pages. I would also use the fast boot method of flashing that was posted by legsmaniac as it worked very well for me.

Also yes you can downgrade your radio at anytime as long as it is a gingerbread radio which all of the latest ones are.
[HTC Incredible S] shields360:
That's great. How do I go about checking md5 of radios? For future reference and just so I know I haven't downloaded a wrong radio.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Depends on your PC platform. If it is Windows then you need to find and dowload a MD5 sum utility. If you have Linux then use the md5 command.
[HTC Incredible S] shields360:
I'm using windows. Is there any specific you would reccomend? Or shall I just look at different ones Google throws up.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I just found one via Google. I have also downloaded the file straight to the phone and Astro File Explorer will show the MD5 sum.
[HTC Incredible S] shields360:
Got it all sorted now thank you. Ill try and flash the latest version tomorrow, hopefully trouble free.

What baseband should i use for ICS?

I want to updating my radio but i don't know which one should i chose

Can someone help me?

My remaining radio 1.09.01.0722

Sorry for my bad english
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
This is the Incredible S forum, not the Incredible 2 forum. The IncS is a GSM phone and the radios are not compatible with the Inc2 which is a CDMA/GSM world phone.

You need to post in the correct forum.
[HTC Incredible S] dhyqa:
Oh i'm sorry

I didn't know the different

Because i thought they're same

Thanks for your information :)

Just be careful which radio you flash....may end up creating an expensive brick or paperweight. Chech, re-check, read and then again re-check. Advice learnt by own experience of bricking a WM 6.5 phone....

[HTC Incredible S] Jaxe:
I just bricked my Incredible...

I flashed a corrupt radio.img file, and now my phone is completly dead. I wont even turn on or charge. :mad:

Does anybody know if there is anything to do about it, other than throwing it out?

Nope, you're hosed.

Definite brick then. I was under the impress in that boot did a crc check before installing pg32img files. What method did you use?
[HTC Incredible S] CRCinAU:
Ok, so I'm currently using 20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M and kinda new to radio flashing.

How does this work with both RIL and the actual radio ROM? Do I need to do both? Is just flashing the radio.img sufficient? How do I go about copying the files in the RIL zip to /system/lib? Does it matter if I don't?

I have noticed that the RIL files don't exist on 2.3.x ROMs - but do in ICS ROMs. Does this mean you only need to put the RIL files on ICS ROMs?

Is there such a thing as a Gingerbread / ICS radio firmware? I haven't been able to find this covered in any of the Radio FAQs :(
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There is definitely a difference between the radio that shipped with Froyo 2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3, but since HTC hasn't released an official ICS ROM for the IncS, the AOSP ICS custom ROMs are still just using the current GB radio.
[HTC Incredible S] deep771043:
So to summariZe!

The last stable Radio is 20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M

And there was many replies from users that next ver of radio (28M) makes devices DEAD...

If you re on previous version (i.e. 06.03.03, 06.03.16 etc) it is recommeded to update to 09.03.27M. There will be noticable improvement! Ive tested all of them myself and ready to say a word.

It seems that the situation when device is swiching from 3G(H) to 2G(E) and backwards loosing signal is fixed! Now on 09.03.27M you can easily swich to AUTO GSM/WCDMA and relax. There was also a hidden problem when swiching GSM to WCDMA several times the device shows reception but in fact there isnt one... Its fixed too.

Please, gimme a response! Check this out! Am I correct?

PS Could someone please update the list of RADIOs at first post? There are still 3805.06.03.16 as latest ver of radio...
[HTC Incredible S] zizou_cr:
Tanks friend!

I am new on these Android world, I ask what was the most stable radio for my Incredible S, now you give me some light on the searching, I have the 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M radio version...

One more question, when I uptade the radio I lost all the info (apps, contacts, etc..) ?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] deep771043:
No. All of your data remains safe.

Its not actually a ROM that has to be flashed. Its sort of drivers for Radio-part.

To flash it you have to:

1 put the file "PG32IMG" on to sd card main directory.

2 Shut down your phone completely (without quick start setting)

3 start it long-pushing the power+volume down buttons.

The update will begin after it checks the files. It may take several minutes. Wait untill it say "press power button to reboot"

Good Luck!

PS and dont forget to delete the "PG32IMG" file after you boot your device!

when i push the radio zip i get 'cannot stat PG32IMG: no such file or directory'. wether the .zip is in the platform-tools or not. so i place the file on the root of the sd card by mounting as a mass storage, boot into bootloader. it finds th PG32IMG flashes it then i get invalid device id. so is adb not finding the file to push it to the phone? if it did would it work anyways if im getting an error in bootloader? i think i may be missing something very basic here so sorry if this is a dumb question

I notice from your signature that you are running ARHD 2.3.0 with radio 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.24_M, which per your list is a ICS radio. I thought ARHD is based on GB - does it mean that this radio works on both ICS and GB? Do you find it any better than the latest GB radio (01.08.14_M)?

Latest GB radios

Hi all,

Is 20.4805.30.0822U_3822.01.08.14 newer than 20.4805.30.0822U_3822.11.08.29 as it is above it in the list on previous page? The numbering doesn't seem logical.

I'm currently on 11.08.27M which solves the delayed SMS on 3G for me, but I still constantly get callers going straight to my voicemail even though I have good signal (I get the missed call SMS a few minutes later).

I'm wondering if anyone has found version .29 or .14 an improvement?

Still on Gingerbread by the way.
