I am probably wrong, but after getting S-Off, I've found using the stock rom with the modifications of radio and cleaning, it's far superior to the roms like revolution etc...this isn't a hd2 coming from winmobile and tbh, I think it might be wiser to wait a month or two
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Before using Sensation, I have used DHD and the only method I use (majority of users) is flashing the radio through fastboot:). So someone or OP can explain the benefits of the two methods (PG58IMG.zip and Fastboot )?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
Agree with you, here is my original post in this thread explaining my reasoning for fastboot over PG58IMG.zips....

And just to be clear again......

I am not saying the PG58IMg.zip's don't work, they do....I am only saying in my opinion Fastboot is safer.....;)
[HTC Sensation] awdlexusis:
what would be the best radio for a tmobile usa phone ??
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
I have a question.... I am on Stock Radio.... But i have a problem with me sensation with the MIC... whenever i speak, the other person on phone cannot understand clearly what i am saying, and i have to repeat it sometimes..and with Handsfree, its clear..so this seems problem with MIC... my phone is not covered under warranty as this is from Hongkong,purchased in Dubai, and using in India...sobasically i want to ask is that if i Flash the stock radio again? would it solve or is it a hardware issue ?
[HTC Sensation] gu1dry:
There's a difference between opinion & everytime someone is asking about flashing a radio you tell them to fastboot flash it. By you suggesting your method everytime, it's not really much different then trying to enforce something, it's has similarities to brainwashing.

Seasoned users can say all they want, but do they truely understand WTF is occurring during the two processes, most likely not. When I've discussed this with actual DEVELOPERS, all agree that P___IMG.zips are safer then fastboot flashing the radio. Fastboot flashing recoveries & kernels are fine, because if those flashes **** up, you're not left with a brick.

Also please don't call them update.zips, because they aren't & they cause confusion to people that don't know better.

But really at this point I'm done with this discussion, my life is way too busy to deal with the stupid ass xda drama, where everyone is an "expert" but really most are dumber then ****.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
It's fine to have your opinion - and we all appreciate you putting this thread together - but could you please provide some evidence to support it if you're saying it's definitely right.

update.zips flashed through recovery - correctly-constructed zips containing radio images - are the safest option because there's CRC checking after the image has been extracted to the temp directory. We obviously don't have this option right now due to limitations of current custom recoveries.

P___IMG.zips are different. There is absolutely no checking that the extracted radio image is not corrupted. All we can be sure of is that the zip itself is not corrupted (using md5sum or some other checking). We don't know if any corruption has occurred while extracting/writing the image to the temp directory.

Fastboot knows that exactly the same number bytes that are in the image on the host PC were transferred over USB and that no errors were reported while AdbWriteEndpointSync was executing. This isn't as good as a CRC or md5sum check but at least you can have a reasonably high level of confidence that the radio image at least has the correct number of bytes. That's still not 100% confidence though as I assume there is still some small risk of corruption while writing.

I'd say both methods are imperfect and not as good as flashing through recovery with CRC checking. I'm still not convinced that one is significantly safer than the other although I'm keen to hear other arguments.
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
To those asking which radio to flash on T-Mobile US, the latest one works (10.50.xxxx...) It's what I have and I guess I'm not bricked since I'm using my phone as I type this. Reading an entire thread is not so bad, guys, even if it doesn't answer your question you can still learn a thing or two so that next time you won't have to begin questions with "I'm sorry if I'm asking a stupid/noob question..."

Also, both school of thoughts regarding flashing are more or less right. Yes, both. When both sounds right, it's because both are right. The bottom line is both are safe if you know what you're doing. Both are dangerous when you don't read all the wealth of information (FOR FREE!) on XDA and take it for granted. There's an old adage that is rarely practiced these days --RTFM. I'll let those who don't know it do some googling. :)

BTW, the "which radio should I flash on a T-Mo US Sensation" question was asked at least twice in this thread... and the thread is only 11 pages long. :]

Update: For the version 10.50.9007.00U_10.12.9007.21_2, baseband version in settings -> about... should say 10.50.9007.00U and radio in hboot should say 10.12.9007.21_2.
[HTC Sensation] MeatyCoins:
does anyone have Radio version 10.11.9007.15_M

The RIL files were pulled from stock TMO rom so you can flash with a custom rom but i changed my radio to the 10.50xx...i am trying to have my radio and ril match

anybody ?
[HTC Sensation] tangcla:
Will changing the radio affect the frequencies that it can access? I have an UMTS 850/2100MHz phone, will flashing it turn it into 900/2100MHz?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
No .......
[HTC Sensation] dovid:
B"H

I agree. However, I ran into a small problem with my Bell Sensation Z710a. I rooted the stock rom, S-Off, etc. Then, the next day, BELL downloaded a new update - 1.35.666.1 to my phone. When I accepted the update, it wouldn't install it. Just a blank screen.

Thank gd I can boot up, etc, and use the phone, but the update will not install. Problem is, there is no RUU posted for the Bell Sensation 4G to install and remove root so I can then install the update. So, I'm stuck with this ROM and no updates. My only other choice is to install ARHD or some other custom rom.

In summary, as long as you don't want to update your ROM via the OTA updates, you are good to go with your method. Else, you are screwed.

Make sure MD5 matches before flashing. If the file is corrupt you will likely brick your phone.

Just to add, File Expert have md5 checking option, click on a file and choose details, compare it with information available in first post and you're ready for a safe flash.

I took a quick gander around and didn't see this addressed, so was wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to follow the guide, and when I use the cmd with adb push to put the zip on the phone I get an error saying that the file cannot be copied because the zip card is read only? Anyone know of a way around this? Or will this be a facepalm question?

[HTC Sensation] Bathyon:
such a nooob

I know it's probably obvious and information about it all over the place, but I can't seem to find information that makes me sure about this.

I want to flash a new radio to my InserCoin-rom.

I have downloaded the recommended 10.50.9007.00U_10.12.9007.21_2 radio.

Now, the instructions in the beginning of this thread is confusing to me. I'm a noob at this flashing thing. Adb? SDK?

Is there another way to do this or could someone explain to me what to do with the PG58IMG.zip file and what other stuff I might need.

Sorry if this question has been answered before, but I have searched without luck. Knowing the issues connected with doing this wrong I need to be sure.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] slydog43:
radio flashing

very simple, place your radio zip file in the root of your MicroSD card. Reboot into fastboot and it will ask you to install radio. Press appropriate volume button, wait a little and you have a new radio. After you reboot I would delete the radio file on the MicroSD card.
[HTC Sensation] Bathyon:
And to be 100% about this:

- The zip can or should be named what?

- To reboot into fastboot = phone off and then power+vol down?

I'm very greatful for your help regarding this.
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
Thanks for puttting all the radios in one place.
[HTC Sensation] gu1dry:
I do not add radios unless I have them from a reliable source in full RUU format (exe or zip). So until a full RUU is released/leaked, I will not add this radio.
[HTC Sensation] gu1dry:
The base that baadnws is using is from a spliced up ROM from an Asian board, not a complete RUU.
[HTC Sensation] gu1dry:
I maintain several radio threads so it hard for me to find all the radios and I don't have time to check every day for new RUUs to rip the radios from, so it's helpful when people do point out new RUUs.

[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Oh Please tell me the correct RIL now for this puppy. I have this radio per InsertCoin 2.0 downloading now. My data issues are horrible ever since I mucked around with changing files. Matching up the Radios and RILs as suggested yields horrid results. I show a nice H connection with bars but no data is really being pushed over the Tmobile Network. I even made sure APN was correct. It registers on the network but the speed is probably 1/10Edge to be blunt :(

Right now using .0162 RIL with M3 reference radio. Could NOT locate the stock Tmobile radio either to go with .0l59 RIL. So now with this latest radio mentioned above, which RIL match to use?

Edit: Leaked or not I am just trying to get back to square one with semi reliable data downloads.. I was trying to locate the stock original Tmobile Radio that went with the .0159 RIL biut spent all morning yielded no links for this. Anyways...thanks.....

Two Questions:

1) Does anyone have the Australian Telstra origional radio that shipped? - in a flashable form that is!

BASEBAND: 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3

2) Is anyone from Australia on Telstra using a different radio to this one?

especialy if you are using the latest (at this time: 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 from the 1.45.401.2 OTA ?)

Just wondering if it is safe to replace the Telstra Radio, as I do NOT have a backup, and it is not in the zips on XDA (Telstra have not released a RUU)

Thanks guys...

Marty
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
I posted to you a day or so back regarding your issue with backing up a radio. Also, you should typically use bootloader, have the radio.img file in your sdk folder on your PC so when you are booted up to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone, you would just from a commandline box type

fastboot flash radio radio.img

Send me a PM with an E-Mail address I can attach for you unless another user has a link off hand. I know it's around for easy enough downloading, but I have it if you want it.

OH, it's here also in the format you would use to place PG58img file on sd and use update.zip from recovery, then delete from SD. I prefer Fastboot to install radio.img files. Your choice.

Sure would like to boot up with correct version. Already wiped clean. Already installed Radio. Was goint o install InsertCoin2.0 and lo and behold, 2.1 appears as a quick fixed update. It's sitting on my phone as I type. I'm just going to take a shot and use the original TMOU .0159 file and cross fingers. My data connection is worthless right now so it can only get better :)
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:

[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
<LOL> maybe with a dose of fairy dust :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Oy..if this was so true, then there would be no reason for RIL files? Or am I missing the boat. I can state that since I have "messed with" attempting to match RIL's with Radio files, my Sensation is in dire straights now regarding data connections. Classic case of thinking I read enough, asked enough questions to do something to make my phone a bit better, and it turns out to be quite the opposite. And with close to three thousand post here on XDA, no body should really question my ability to read threads way in advance of posting questions, or doing stuff thinking I have the ability and knowledge based on my experience.

BTW...I keep on trolling for some user who does happen to have the original stock TMobile radio (10.11.9007.15_M) to please point me to grabbing it, so I can simply revert to using the .0159 RIL file for Tmobile, and basically just flash that after every ROM install. TIA to all

Download zip file, put in root, boot phone up with volume down + power and it will ask for update. After the update you have a new radio. Don't forget to remove the zip when you are booted up.

"Make sure the filename is PG58IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder)."

Make sure after u download that file its properly name " PG58IMG.zip" toss it on Ur the root of Ur SD card (meaning not in any folders). Turn phone off.

Hold down volume and press power

Accept update and reboot after u flashed the radio remove the zip file from Ur SD card other wise everytime Ur in hboot it will try to update
[HTC Sensation] someonewhy:
ok buddy thanks but what about those instructions?

"Connect the HTC Sensation to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"

i can skip it?
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Do you understand that hopefully, somewhere on your computer you have a folder of what is referred to as SDK Tools that has such needs as adb file etc etc so that when you are connected via USB you can communicate with phone. If you are lost from this point, then never mind the rest. If I insulted your intelligence, then sorry since it's hard to tell your basic understanding. Here is what I do for updating a radio. Take the PG58img file and unzip and you will see radio.img. Take the radio.img file and copy it to that SDK tools folder on your PC. Now boot to the fastboot bootloader screen on the phone.

With phone connected via USB test the connection first by typing from a CMD window and the SDK tools folder with the ADB stuff, your radio.img file etc pointing to in the CMD box. For example, I have a folder called Superboot on my computer that has all the adb and any files I need to talk to the phone etc, so from the command line box that folder should be pointed at. IOW a DOS box with the folder called whatever you have your SDK tools.

fastboot devices <enter>

Enter the command above and it should return your serial number of the phone. If this is seen, you are now good to flash the radio with the following:

fastboot flash radio radio.img <enter>

You should now watch the radio file being written in a few seconds to the phone. Reboot the boot loader and look at the Radio version in the fastboot loader screen to confirm the radio.

Done.......reboot

Edit: Like the other user, hold Volume down with phone off, and as you hold volume down, power on. Let up on the volume and the fastboot screen appears with the red Fastboot USB letterring. If you simply pushed the power button with Fastboot screen, it will then give a similar menu where volume scroll down to recovery and then you are in recovery screen for Clockwork. Or use power button menu to shut down to boot loader. or use market free app on desktop called Quick Boot. It will give you power off, reboot Recovery and fastboot options from this market app. Used to use this a lot till these options came out for power button on many Roms, including InsertCoin and Neon PD3.x I believe. Probably others too by now.

Hi,

This is expected behaviour. The SGH-T849 identifies it as a Galaxy Tab. This helps to open up more apps in Android Market. At the point of release, I believe Dexter selected a profile which most closely resembles the Folio and so, Galaxy Tab it is!
