Which kernel do you use ?

You haven't got any apk whose drain your battery ?

I used this radio since this a long time and it works very well, and no drain when I'm connecting every day and all the time
[HTC Desire S] chonthat:
i used Virtuours ROM Unity v2.39.0 , what's the best radio for me ?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
You should flash a radio that fits your region, and that gives you the best performance.

This is not the same for everybody, so test some of their

And if you want a good test, try a radio for at least 2/3 days.
[HTC Desire S] chonthat:
i have a problem " CID incorrect! Update Fail! " when i reboot so i didn't changed my radio , what should i do ?
[HTC Desire S] Cole07:
First you should pay attention this message. "You should flash a radio that fits your region, and that gives you the best performance."

You have to use goldcard to bypass CID check
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Hi.

Flashing a different radio can help fixing crappy bluetooth streaming?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Indeed. The radio contains all you need for connecting (wifi, bluetooth, 3G, SMS, etc...) ;)
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Thanks, I will try.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Are there any more new radios from the latest OTA (.9)?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Actually, I've seen no update since the October 2011.
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
Hi,

I have just tried to update my radio.

Download and MD5 checksum were all fine and the update process finished without any errors.

But when the phone asked to be rebooted it got stock in the white HTC screen.

It didn't do anything for about 30min. until I pulled the battery.

When turned on again with volume down button pressed I could see the new radio version.

Tried to boot again but still on the white HTC screen.

Downloaded the old radio and flashed is but again, white HTC screen?

Turned it off and then on again with the volume down button pressed.

The old radio version was back but still no luck while booting?

Then I ran the newest RUU and it finished without any errors, but phone still won't boot, stock at the white HTC screen.

Did a factory reset through recovery but again... no luck?

What to do now, any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Phew... solved it.

I flashed a custom recovery (Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4).

In there I wiped all and flashed CM7 again and this time it booted all the way to CM7 ;)

Now my phone is working with the updated radio end a clean install of CM7.

Still don't now what went wrong in the first place?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
I had the same issue too waaaay back. Deleting cache and dalvik brought it back to life.

Not sure though how you could delete them without a custom recovery...

Talking about Recovery: CWM has been updated to 5.0.2.0. It feels way faster than your version.

Download ROM Manager from market, and update CWM in there! (Actually, ROM Manager comes with CM7 already...)

CWM Recovery touch is available for the Desire S since today... http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
Well, i haven't flashed a custom recovery from bootloader/fastboot before. I have always used CWM directly from ROM Manager. So i had to do it this way because the phone got stock at the white HTC screen.

The touch version of CWM, can this only be used from ROM Manager or can it be flashed from bootloader or both?

I am very glad that my phone isn't bricked :)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
The easiest way to flash it is to use a tool called android flasher.

Very convenient, also to flash radios and ROMs.

If you install it in ROM Manager, you gotta pay. If you flash the recovery file via ADB or Android Flasher, it's free.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
FALSE

Stop it. What you say it's false.

rom manager is free too. You could find two versions

Free Version and Premium version for $5.99

And you could use Rom manager free apk for flashing your rom without problem.

And for flashing a radio, you must use your fastboot and a file which name PG88IMG
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
I was talking about CWM touch, dude... Of course ROM Manager is free!

And I said that flashing a radio with Androi Flasher is easier for dummies than using fastboot.

So... There are other ways to push a new radio on the device, and what I said is absolutely true. ;-)

Good morning, read exactly before you start blaming. :-)
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Stop blaming. You're funny :D

I've read before writing something.

And that's you, who's write this "If you install it in ROM Manager, you gotta pay" and not me.

So stop it, please :D
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Lol. Well, to get this 100% straight for all times: there's the option in ROM Manager to install CWM Recovery Touch (not the usual ClockWorkMod Recovery). If you install it from there, then you pay. So... Install CWM Recovery Touch via ADB or whatever program, and it's free. OK now? ;-)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Stop ranting at each other and check THIS out.
[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
Hello guys!

Im running icecoldsandwich rom v4. I have usb bricked my phone. Please confirm if i can fix it by flashing radio.

my current details are in the attached image. And suggest which radio suits for my phone.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Indeed. The radio contains all you need for connecting (wifi, bluetooth, 3G, SMS, etc...) so try to flash this radio, and don't forget to make a backup before...just in case ;-)
[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
alright. just one more clarification. Should i simply put radio.zip file in sdcard and choose install from zip in cwm ? and will i need to clean any partition or re-install rom?

Update:

I've just put that file in sd card and rebooted in bootloader, it asked for update, chose yes and it's done! thank you

no rom re-install etc. required.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
The radio is flashed onto a different part of the memory. It has nothing to do with the ROM :) . Same goes for the Hboot and Recovery. All these 4 components are going to different parts... So flashing just one of them won't affect the others.
[HTC Desire S] tankteam:
Hi,

My HTC Desire S hang in the white HTC screen while booting after i have updated radio to 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04

my original radio is 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03

I can get into sdcard using another phone to replace the PG88IMG.zip file with my original radio version. Updated back to original version, but still hang in HTC white screen.

anyone can help me?

TQ
[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
try taking out your memory card from phone and delete that file using memory card reader.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Oh i see. Well, changing radio didn't help in solving that issue :( when i connect phone to my laptop, it freezes my laptop four times for half a sec each and then usb not recognized error comes. windows update or htc drivers files doesn't help solving it. Should I consider changing hboot or recovery?

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

wipe partition, dalvik cache etc.. install new rom and then try other radio from the list and share the results.
[HTC Desire S] tankteam:
I got this guide from another thread and solved my problem.

Used PG88IMG.zip method to flash the new radio

When rebooting after update, I pulled out battery, deleted PG88IMG.zip from the SD Card

Went back into HBOOT (noted the radio version - shows the update) and selected Recovery, phone rebooted into Clockworkmod

Received a bunch of "E: Can't mount cache" messages, ignored them

Selected "wipe cache partition"

Rebooted recovery, no more "E: Can't mount cache" messages

Rebooted system

Now it booted up without delays and with the new radio working fine

Maybe this guide can help others who want to flash a new radio...
[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
Good to see it's working.
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
So, it worked? I have the same problem now... But... pulling out the battery while rebooting is not that good idea, actually.
[HTC Desire S] KanocX:
@gu1dry, you should add this howto to the starting post :)

thx tankteam for this advice ;)
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
I don't know if it's a good idea.

Indeed, in this process you must pull out the battery, and we know that's the eMMC chip could be fried if you pull out the battery

Look at this :[INDEX][16 MAR 12] ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT/HBOOT/RADIOS/TWEAKS/GUIDES/etc

Would that radio work well with AOSP GB ROMs, as well?
[HTC Desire S] ttocs99:
The last 1 on the list cheif it works very wel on endymion i no its not aosp but its based on gingerbread
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes. I've used the radio with the following: IceColdSandwich, Virtuous Saga, CM9, Paranoid Android, AOKP ROM by Tectas, the ones ported by blindndumb... So the answer should be yes, it works with all ROMs I've tried, no issues so far

Never tried with a GB ROM, but I don't see any reason for which it shouldn't work

[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I'm doing this on my girlfriend's Desire S. I already flashed the latest radio (20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04), and the phone is running MIUI 2.3.9 or something like that, I believe. Guess I'll switch to MIUIv4 and flash the latest radio... Hopefully HTC won't come up with another radio in the final release :D . Flashing the radio sometimes gives me the thrills, as it is dangerous with HTC`s, and since this phone ain't mine... oh well :D .

Speaking of which... I owned a few HTC devices myself. I remember the first radio I ever flashed (on the Desire), was in a flashable .zip. Since then, everything I did was via fastboot. Is there any way we can flash the radio via Recovery (4EXT, for that matter)?
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
i just flashed my rom(based on RunnymedeS_v4.01), via AndroidFlasher, with the latest radio 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M after extract from the zip the radio.img file and no issue
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I see that in the PG88IMG.zip file there are three more .img files besides the radio.img... Do I put the PG88IMG.zip on the SDcard and flash it via the bootloader? Or do I extract the radio.img and flash it via fastboot...?!
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
as i said, only radio.img
[HTC Desire S] Fetz Braun:
I have the problem, i cannot update the radio. it means:

my current radio: xxx.08.04_M

i download the newest PG88IMG from Virtuous (20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M checked md5som, it´s ok!!) and put it on sdcard (i tried it via Filemanager and via adb. then i reboot to bootloader (2.00.002), go into bootloader, wait 2 seconds. than it shows "no image or wrong image" it does not update.

whats wrong?
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
you must only flash radio.img via AndroidFlasher
[HTC Desire S] Fetz Braun:
Ok, thanks for your answer, but it doesn´t work for me

i know the reason now: i have hboot 2.00.002 that means S-ON :mad:

i think, i have to downgrade hboot, then i can get S-OFF an than i can flash the radio the usual way. Or is there a new way to get hboot 2.00.002 S-OFF?

:(:(
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Can't it be done from fastboot? On a 1.xx Hboot, I believe - I S-OFFed it via Revolutionary about 8 months ago. Would it work? And speaking of which, is the new Hboot (2.xx) really NECESSARY for the new radios, or ROMs?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
New hboot is not mandatory for the new radio. I have new radio and old hboot...

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
me too! i was revolutionary s-off, hboot 6.98.1002, and now s-off with hboot 0.98.2000, and no issue with the last radio
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I see. I don't know exactly what hboot is on the Desire S, and I can't check it right now, and given the fact that 2.xx exists, and 7.xx and 0.98... it can't be 1.xx or something. Oh well, it doesn't really matter. I'm not gonna change it, I wouldn't wanna risk bricking someone's elses device :D

Thanks for the information.

-----

So I see some peeps tried the radio from the latest leak... How's it going? Better? Worse?
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
after one week, back to radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, the best for me , more signal strength, more GPS satellites, lower battery consumption
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Since I flashed that radio on my girlfriend's Desire S, she didn't complain about poor battery life and reception anymore (using MIUI 2.3.7 - GB).

So... I'd say that's best. At least until the FINAL radio release from ICS is here.
[HTC Desire S] parapaul:
Flashed the x.10.08.04 radio last week after getting patchy signal for no apparent reason. I would wake up in the morning to find my phone saying "No Service" when I went to sleep with a full HSDPA signal. Switching to Airplane mode and back would sort it out but not very satisfactory.

After a few panicked moments where the phone was stuck on the white splash screen, I rebooted into recovery, did a cache & factory data wipe, and tried again - success!

Signal seems much better again now, thanks to all who contribute :)

Hi,

I have a Bell Incredible S (Canada) and I am trying to install an ENG hboot to allow me to flash a new radio for a custom ROM. I should state that this is my first android phone, so I am learning as I go along. My phone is s-off and is rooted on the stock froyo rom. When trying to run the busybox installer, I first get an error message stating "Sorry! Superuser has stopped unexpectedly. Please tell HTC about this problem ", then I get a message stating "root access denied... Busybox installer was not allowed root access. This may be an issue with Superuser, try opening Superuser and making sure that you are allowing us root access."

If it is as simple as allowing root access, how do I go about doing that? I opened up Superuser but don't see anywhere to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

You need to find the flashable superuser zip. This will give you root access. Then you can install busybox.

no screen protector since day 1 (bought sometime in Feb/Mar) and still on perfect condition. It has gorilla glass: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

so IMHO I don't think you need to worry. I've learned this with my hero. stupid me putting a screen protector not knowing the glass itself has better scratch resistance than the screen protector I bought.

a little off topic, I'm looking for the perfect case though. as stelth300 stated, the chrome part (and probably the metal back) does seem to need a good case.
