If you're going to be a big boy and play around with custom roms, kernels and radios. It might be a good idea to read up on how to use adb and install it on your computer. ;-)
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
Well i hardly ever use my computer to it. Been flashing quite a lot roms, kernels and radios without it.

When you have the ability to do it from your phone then why not do it?

I have flashed all the different radios i've used trough hboot. And im gonna flash this one that way too

Flashing PG32IMG.zip

HI,

just take android-info.txt file from some previous PG32IMG (i used Radio 3805.10.03.28_M) file and radio.img from this zip and create new PG32IMG.zip file. Copy it to your SD card and flash via hboot. It worked for me.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
So far this radio works better than 3822.10.08.28 which fails too connect to mobile data from time too time. WiFi and GPS are no difference.
[HTC Incredible S] reluctantv:
MD5 radio.img?

Can you please post the md5 for the radio.img?
[HTC Incredible S] Saftawy:
knowing how to use adb doesn't make a person a big boy!! but being concerned about others can't/wont flash via fastboot is, as for me I already did it via adb.

Radio_20.4805.30.0822u_3822.11.08.29_m (repack)

Here is the fixed PG32IMG.zip, you can easily flash it via HBOOT.

What changed? android-info.txt replaced from this radio.

RADIO_20.4805.30.0822U_3822.11.08.29_M (REPACK)
[HTC Incredible S] reluctantv:
Can some one please verify if the below is the md5 for the radio.img?

Thanks! @Enes_81.

Also anyone noticed any specific improvements after flashing the new radio?
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
No dramatic improvements, no of bars & db values look the same, but in places where I usually lost 3G/EDGE connectivity (no 3G / E symbols next to antenna bars) does not happen so often now. Cellular Data connection seems more consistent, or maybe I'm imagining things.

OP Changed thanks :D
[HTC Incredible S] Adde79:
Reading it now I see it looks like I'm trying to be a smartass but that wasn't me intention. Just saying that it won't hurt reading up on how to use adb and fastboot. It can be a lifesaver (read phonesaver) ;-)
[HTC Incredible S] Adde79:
Of course it's nice as long as everything works as intended, tho you can't always rely on the phone or software to do that and imo it's always nice to have a backup plan.

And as I stated in my post above here I didn't mean to offend anyone, sorry if you took it that way.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Tried to flash the repacked Radio and got Model ID incorrect. I'm on a Canadian Incredible S... If that matters.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
Hi i just flashed the repacked radio.

Now i can't install apps from market

when i go into 4EXT recovery touch it shows unable to mount cache.

How do i fix this?

many thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] jaysonline:
John, I'm assuming that you are using the recovery method. If you use adb it shouldn't be a problem. The cause of this though is most probably the android-info.txt, it may not be having the "cidnum" of your device.

You can get the cid by typing "fastboot getvar cid" using adb. I have never used the recovery method. But I checked the entries of some old radios I had tried and it contained the cidnum of my device in the txt file. May be editing the android-info.txt will help.:)

Missing sms

I dont know if i can blame the new radio, but I got into a fight with my girlfriend yestarday for the reason that i didnt answer to the sms msgs that she sent me during the day. I checked her phone to be sure she doesnt lie, and yap something is worng with my phone 90% of the sms she sent i recieved and 10% just disappear? Can the Radio make such problems?
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
@mdk83

Maybe your wireless service provider/ GFs service provider can be the problem 2. Can't blame the radio / ril file for everything. The same can occur on a featurephone or dimbphone also.

[HTC Incredible S] mdk83:
OK so you suggest me to check with the mobile communication company that I use?
[HTC Incredible S] way2shree:
Oh, I was experiencing SMS Delays with Stock HTC ROM when I purchased my INCS almost 6 months ago. (It was ONLY happening with ONE particular contact)

But then I rooted it and have been trying few Radio's since last 2-3 months.

Then after that the SMS delay never happened.

I am not quite sure if it was Radio ? ( Because it was happening with only ONE particular contact).

I wasn't able to put my doubt on Radio at that time but by seeing your case, I thought to share my views ;)

Can you check if messages from other friends are coming with same delay ?

This seems interesting to me :)
[HTC Incredible S] mdk83:
Mate there was no delay i didnt get some of the msg, Anyway i downgraded back to .28
[HTC Incredible S] way2shree:
Ohh.. Messages never got delivered ?

Strange. :p

And.. now after degrading to .28 are you able to get all the messages properly in time ?
[HTC Incredible S] mdk83:
Ill check the plot between me and my girlfriend and ill update.
[HTC Incredible S] mroach:
Well, I flashed it and my phone boots and connects to the network as one would expect. So that's good anyway. I'm crossing my fingers and holding my thumbs hoping that it solves my problem where my phone completely disconnects from the mobile network when I use data. I have to reboot the phone or cycle flightmode to get it back. This problem cropped up when I installed the Sense 3.5 update so I guess one of the newer radios is a piece of trash. Hope this one fixes it!
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
I flashed it in a rooted version of the latest stock. So far working fine. No problem with delays in sms..
[HTC Incredible S] highKo:
i guess the sms delay bug is carrier related. i never had the issue with ANY rom. i received the sms always "instant"
[HTC Incredible S] bigeyes0x0:
Flashed through fastboot two days ago. Been working great for me, maybe a little louder in call too.
[HTC Incredible S] jaysonline:
same for me, sounds better, used to hear choppy audio on .28
[HTC Incredible S] MrPontus:
I've only used it for half a day, but so far I'm very pleased, I have more bars (and better dBm) loading web pages seems to be faster and I haven't had any loss of connection that I had a lot of problems with .28 radio.

I like :)
[HTC Incredible S] skinniezinho:
I just did it this way:

Download the zip

Put it on sdcard

In the rom I made it restart for bootloader

When it rebooted, hit power

then it asks if you want to update radio, for yes press vol up, and that's it.

Done
[HTC Incredible S] MrPontus:
When I did that I got CID error, with both the one in first post and the repack.

Flashed mine with Android Flasher 1.6.1 :)
[HTC Incredible S] nednednerb:
Funny dialogue here. I flashed the most reliable and foolproof way, using freely accessible adb and fastboot process. Was quick and painless.

In Canada on Fido using ARHD 2.1.3, I have experienced no deficiency on new radio. Texting remains snappy with fewer signal related failed sends.

If I've noticed anything out of the ordinary, last few days on new radio I have been wondering why my battery isn't losing power as fast as it usually does. If the radio is helping my phone not work as hard to receive signal from my carrier, that would make sense...

We'll see if it continues next charge cycle...

sent from xda premium on an Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Only been using this for about an hour. But signal seems about the same as 28 and the 06 or whatever came as my stock. However, my internet seems to be smoother before on 28 google searches would get stuck at 50% so i would have to cancel and then refresh to make them work. Just done a few random searches and i didnt have this once. So hopefully its an improvement, but ill give it a few days first and ill see after i have made a few phone calls tonight.
[HTC Incredible S] dla5244:
OK guys :)

I uploaded proper rild binary(OP)

This binary will be good shot to many ploblem(sms delay...) :D
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Hmm well I have to admit my internet is better. But my calling seems to be crap seems to be a lot more crackly than 28. But nothing I can't live with tbh.
[HTC Incredible S] bigeyes0x0:
Try to lower the volume?
[HTC Incredible S] mdk83:
Sounds interesting, thx, where I can see the link?

Hehehe nevermimd found it.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Didn't work. Regardless of volume I had the noise.

How would I flash the ril? I use adb not flash from zip. Is it worth it flashing the ril?
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Dont think so.

I got slightly better hspda reception with this radio, nothing got worse.
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
How's it going for people in Europe, more specifically the UK?
[HTC Incredible S] mroach:
I'm not in the UK, but I'm in Europe! So far I'm pleased. I had serious problems with recent radios where my phone would completely disconnect from the network and I'd have to cycle flight mode or do a full reboot to get it back. So far so good with this radio; hasn't happened yet!
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I just tried the rild binary from the OP but found that it's not as good as the one from the Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0. Using the one from the OP, if I toggle the mobile data, it fails to connect successfully from time to time. With the original rild binary from VA 2.05.0, it works all the time.
[HTC Incredible S] comentator:
Well i downloaded the radio three times but md5sums keeps telling me that the md5 hash for the file is: 8a2fee8d4ed500fb49f93cb65788f06a

Why is that?
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Are you checking the radio.img inside of the zip file? And not the zip file as a whole.
[HTC Incredible S] comentator:
Ahh that is where i was failling lol

Thank you
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Not a problem. We've all done it before lol.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
anyone want to be cool enough to make a flashable version?? I don't have a windows machine so a flashable version would make my day :)
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Can't you just rename it PG32IMG.zip and flash that from your recovery? (I believe that's all you do, check the sticky about radios in dev section)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I get incorrect modelID or something when I try... Sucks, I think the vivo is left out of the model list or something... not sure don't know much about radios, and I don't want to brick my phone :) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I think. Somebody else had the same issue and they had the advice to alter the notepad file (to match a previous file from an old radio). I'm sure it was either in this topic or the radios topic, it's worth a look. ... I'm going off memory here so I could just be spouting utter rubbish and I hate searching using my phone lol.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
For anyone like me who had issues flashing this Radio I fixed the file so it now works in bootloader: Download Here
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Thanks for your reply. Have flashed it and will see how it goes
[HTC Incredible S] owziee:
I just posted this to the HTC facebook page:

"PLEASE help us HTC Incredible S owners! The Sense 3.0 with android 2.3.5 update made the phone drop the data connection all the time. Seems like everybody has the problem. Apparently it can be solved by installing this new radio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471861

But it's not very easy for us regular users that don't want to have S-OFF on our devices. Why can't you just make it easy for us and release an update with the new radio!!! It's not possible to install the older ROM again, a lot of people would be happy if you fix it and show that you actually care about IncS owners aswell!!!"

I doubt they'll give a f**k but if they do they've gotten at least one future customer back, me... At the moment it feels like they don't care about us, they just want to sell new phones all the time. Well selling phones, that's understandable... But they can't just turn their back on us just because the IncS isn't their latest and greatest device anymore. They've gotten a share of our hard earned cash aswell, not so long ago in my case.
[HTC Incredible S] skinniezinho:
Good for me in Portugal.

Just "liked" your post.hope it helps.

For the ones that have something to say in facebook about this, this is the link:

[HTC Incredible S] mroach:
Nice :) I really do get the feeling they don't give a toss about the non-flagship non-US phones sometimes. This radio problem with the IncS was so bad that I was about to throw the phone away.
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
definitely an improvement over 08.28. Battery lasting longer and getting better wifi reception.

Last night was the first time in ages that I've been able to go out and NOT have my phone constantly disconnect from the mobile network. Loving this radio! :D
[HTC Incredible S] Me4oKyX:
Just installed the radio, the .img file from the first post. And the zip installed through HBoot from the first time and I have no problems with wrongID or something like that.... Got no idea how it happened but it did :) So far I get higher dBm and higher aSu so I guess it should be better. Network seems to react quicker than before and logs on to Edge, H/3G faster than ever before :D Let's hope the next one makes it even better :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
This radio has been the best one to date for me. I live in a bit of dead zone and this radio consistently gives me two bars minimum. Might seem low but compared to previously where I would consistently have no signal at all, this makes the phone usable.

Sadly, I did not find the new radio did any better than the previous one.

For me the battery life is much MUCH better.... Lasts more than two days and always on 3G/H signal... Before that I could get two days out of the phone but mostly on 2G/GPRS .... I guess it's up to the different carriers, but mostly people are quite happy with this radio :D
[HTC Incredible S] Inferi0r:

Hey guys need some help,

i tried to flash from HBOOT with PG32IMG.zip it does not work.

i tried frm fastboot but it shows "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"

why is this message show? any solution?

my HBOOT is 2.0 , s-off with htcdev

Thanks

[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
flash from PC using ADB commands, or else make a goldcard to flash from micro SD card.

To flash from PC use the radio flash utility from ARHD tread OP post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13981972&postcount=1.

Download the radio flash utility from this post. Unzip and replace the 20.4805.30.0822U_3822.01.08.14_M radio file (radio.img) with the 20.4805.30.0822u_3822.11.08.29_m radio file from this thread (Important. Extract the radio.img file from this download).

follow the instructions in the readme file within the zip to complete the flash.
[HTC Incredible S] vinboy3:
Hi there,

i actually used the same method(adb) before it shows "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" i also tried download from ARHD thread but the result are the same.

I am not sure about gold card, seems complicated. I wonder is it because i S-off thru htcdev.

Thanks

I had tried gold card but it dint show anything after "parsing". it just go back to HBOOT
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
My method of choice for pushing a new radio has always been adb. Never had an issue with this method.
[HTC Incredible S] vinboy3:
do you have any idea with this error?

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
[HTC Incredible S] bob8x:
I've just flashed with adb method, seems a little bit better, but it's too soon to be precise...
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
It has to do with the text file included in the zip file not having the proper ID for a device. There is a way to edit it for your device but you would have to research it as I am not familiar with the specifics. That's why I use adb method. It just pushes the radio.img file to the device.
[HTC Incredible S] thelostlegend:
you cannot flash radio if you are htcdev unlocked i faced the exact same problem so i went back to hboot 1.13 and s-off with revolutionary

Flashed this on way home from work (boring train ride) pleased to say 3g reception where it used to drop out. Normally spend about 20min with no reception and this time only a couple of spots where it dropped for a sec or 2. Internet seems to be quicker. Pretty happy :D
[HTC Incredible S] fridgie:

Have been running this for a few days now, no lag in sms/mms, much better phone/3g reception and very happy I can now use my IncS where I would have no service in the past.

The phone boots fine. Doesn't pick up any signals. I give it a few minutes... then it just shuts off and reboots automatically. Then that just repeats in a cycle. Had to go back to 27_M.

Can't find 28_M anywhere.

[HTC Incredible S] decoyknox:
UPDATE:

Same problem... periodic reboots.

Back to 27_M. This is strange....:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
Not sure that your issues are due to radio. Try to full wipe, than reinstall ROM. 29_m and the one I recommend worked perfectly fine for me
[HTC Incredible S] decoyknox:
It's definitely due to my radio. I'm on 27_m working fine. I install 29_M and the one you recommended and the rebooting happens. I roll back to 27_m and it goes back to normal.

maybe there is a specific way to be installing these radios? thanks for your input

19_M seemed to be the latest Radio release for Inc S, but I find 11_M to be better i all the aspects and I reverted back to 11_M. Have you observed any good changes or improvements in the performance/ Battery or any such in the device?

And I have 2 different sized Radio zip files with the same name Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M (*11,235 kb & *11,472 kb). Which one is the correct Radio zip file for 11_M??? If there is any better stable version than the above, Pls do share it.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I can't really say much about which 11_M is the right one. But since the day I've bean using 19_M, the signal strength is better and I receive calls and text messages sooner than before. I mostly like ext4 because it is really faster that ext3. You can completely feel it when you enter 4EXT Recovery. If all your partitions are formatted as ext4, the Recovery runs in less that 3secs. But if it is ext3, you have to wait for about 10secs.

Hope I've helped!

Guys Need Some help

I using HTC incredible S with radio 20.74.30.0833u_3831.18.00.11_m. From the moment I got the OTA update for ICS 4.0.4 my battery is not charging fully , infact it will not more than 70-72%. That too it takes nearly 10 hours to charge till 70-72%. I thought there might be a problem with battery and changed new battery and still the same issue with the new battery.

Okay then, I unlocked my phone using HTCdev and installed recovery and flashed "Nik_Project_X_Rebirth v3.0" . The rom is very good but the battery issue is still the same. It does not charge more than 70-72%, however i charge from PC or via adapter.

Here in this thread i saw that the radio has something to do with battery. can anyone please tell me by flashing "Radio_20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.19_M" will that get solved the issue.

And how do i need to flashed the above radio. since iam have unlocked using HTC dev.

please help me.
[HTC Incredible S] H.e.S.a.M:
Download the PG32IMG.zip of radio file from first post or my signature. Then move the file to ur Root Of SDcart. Reboot to bootloader then bootloader search ur sd for pg32img.zip and then ask u Update Or not. Touch Vulome Up button to update ur radio. After updating go to ur sdcart and erase or change name of PG32IMG.zip.

I think ur USB port is broken because it doesnt charghe 70+ and charghing take a long time

If i helpd u Pls give me Thanks:P
