I have update.zip already installed. The radio .img is 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17.img (just cba to write the whole thing out.

Forgive me if I'm getting something wrong here. I have Hboot-0.93.0001 with s-off. I don't have Hboot-usb. I have

Fastboot

Recovery

Clear Storage

simlock

How do I get the Hboot-usb option? I assumed that because I was S-Off, Hboot was already there.

I haven't kept up to date on knowledge with this phone lol
[Desire General] andQlimax:
When u plug ur phone to ur pc with the usb cable, u should see hboot-usb :) ..then u can run the utility
[Desire General] JagSem:
Nah, only the above.

I've just completed this

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Still, no HBoot-usb option

Only HBoot usb plug which I can't select

then fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock.

:o
[Desire General] andQlimax:
U don't have to select it, run the android flash utility it will work :D
[Desire General] fragargon:
@ mofirouz

tks mate, you re right. i just check out that IRL's thread and don't reveal a real improuvement...

I also have checked the stock version... get already one

su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

;)
[Desire General] JagSem:
It just says "Pushing and flashing RADIO" then nothing.

I want to cry lol
[Desire General] mofirouz:
no problem...

you will find out that you will have problem connecting to differnet networks (in case of UK, changing between T-Mo and Orange). That in turn will create problems with data connections and then Airplane mode and etc etc etc....

Trust me, just go back to the original RIL. P.s. if you run gingerbread, most RIL's wont work with it.

Just some advice.

New radio leaked from the Desire GB test rom

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

http://www.mediafire.com/?bwo8ro65t1nb382

Thanks to zikyHD for extracting it!
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Did you tried it? Im scared using it :D
[Desire General] meno69:
Not yet sorry.
[Desire General] mofirouz:
I have updated the website:

http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/
[Desire General] zikyHD:
It's my link. I've flashed it without any trouble. :)
[Desire General] kecinzer:
Can you please try, if this radio solving CALL DELAY BUG? :)
[Desire General] meno69:
Sorry mate. I've edited my post to include your thanks.
[Desire General] DjLukeW:
So any opinions on new radio?
[Desire General] echohack:
new radio working perfect.
[Desire General] serverless:
Does anyone have md5 checksum for the latest leaked radio?
[Desire General] technocat:
just tested the new radio out there and its rebooting my phone for some reason (different roms), going back to old which was fine
[Desire General] gautam.malik:
New radio is working fine.

No reboots, battery drains, and performance degradations noticed.

GPS, and 3G are working fine too.
[Desire General] wlee2:
Is there like a changelog of what is altered from radio to radio?
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
I haven't seen such thing. For your information, the radio firmwares (radio.img) are extracted from the RUU or OTA zip files then repackaged in signed zip files for the update (if you do it in the recovery).
[Desire General] wlee2:
so these are updates that HTC is pushing out? would that meen its generally a good idea to always have the latest radio then? (of course this is under the assumption that HTC know what they are doing =P)

sorry i just dont get why some radios work better than others and im still using an older one because it sorta felt like it worked better than the latest. (without any real way to test it other than it felt like it acquired a signal faster than the last radio)

i have always had issues with my data connections (thank you virgin) but i am assuming radio is what alters the way my phone communicates ?
[Desire General] cv1ekas:
newest radio 5.17.05.08 working perfect on my phone,and i noticed that signal strenght is a little bit better,and a lot faster network mode change,when phone changing from 2g to 3g, and backwards,i will leave this on my phone
[Desire General] sieempi:
Working fine for me too. Haven't seen any actual improvements so far, though..
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
Yes, these radios are released by HTC and it is quite difficult to know what's changed unless you have some knowledge!

I have updated from 32.49 (5.11) to 32.54 (5.14), I have installed the HTC-RIL_2.2.0099HM (which was released after the 32.54 firmware and was supposed to work well with it) and I haven't noticed anything extraordinary, although many people said they noticed an improvement in the battery life and in the GPS signal reception. Maybe I should give a try to the newest radio, 32.56, with the proper RIL! Who knows? Maybe I get a GPS fix in 10 seconds instead of 120!

A specific radio version works well with the proper RIL! If they are not compatible, you always get a performance degradation.

Which radio are you talking about? 32.54/5.17? There are too many messages and I wasn't able to get the idea. If so, what RIL are you using?
[Desire General] str355:
can you post the md5 checksum for this please, i wouldn't mind giving it a try to see if there are any improvements :)
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
If you have the Java Development Kit installed, you may use jarsigner -verify 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip to check the archive. I hope you still have the Amon RA recovery because the update script uses the old Amend syntax.
[Desire General] str355:
thanks, i've not got the dev kit installed on my work laptop, will try it out tonight :)

i'll be flashing the radio.img directly so the script doesnt matter, although i still use AmonRA :)
[Desire General] donald-c:
Flashed 5.17 radio & RIL (CyanogenMod 7), signal completely lost :( damn.

Edit - Signal drops after screen is turned off, and it is happening with 5.14 as well now, back to 5.10 I go.
[Desire General] Bingley:
Poor 3UK reception area, finding new 5.17 using between 3mA and 50+mA(!) while it's out of service (no reception) - wcdma only (3g network) which is annoying - anyone else experience this?
[Desire General] undercover:
Good old official .14 radio worked best for me. The latest one .8, has lower bars but don't loose signal completely as easy as other ones. Still testing it tho.
[Desire General] cez10:
same here using GV2based on CM7 going back to the .17 and the N1 RIL
[Desire General] Jasoninaz:
I've been reading this forum for two days now.

I'm lucky enough to have a G4 tower about 1/4 mile from my house. And I'm in Phoenix, its as flat as a pancake out here. I don't know if I would see much improvement updating the radio but I'll read a little bit more. I'm a step by step kinda guy. I picked this up a week ago the only change I've made is rooting it.

The Baseband is 12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06M so I'll do some more reading and decide if this would be a good idea.
[Desire General] Bingley:
Back to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and have reception.

Flash 5.17.05.08 and cannot connect. Reflash 5.14.05.17 and I can eventually connect.

Anyone on 3 or poor reception area know or recommend which radio gets the best signal ie connects to a weak signal?
[Desire General] cez10:
Heh when I'm using the 32.54... I can't connect to 3g :( so back to 32.49 for now

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
[Desire General] Marreboy:
Flashed 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 on Oxygen 2.0.3 this morning, connects fine to 3G, wifi and seems fast.

Only issue I got was that battery percentage got stuck on 100%. (I was on ~90% when I flashed radio through fastboot.) I tried to wipe battery stats but no luck.

I then flashed the RIL and still no difference. (Was not expecting it to make a difference but hey why not test?? )

Last I did a complete wipe and then I got it to start updating battery percentage again.

Overall the radio seems to connect fast and stable so I will keep it.
[Desire General] toyface:
I've been try a few of these radios lately, I find 32.54 to be the beat for me, signal everywhere only experience drops where I normally would, you know where I mean.

I still get better signal than my Dad's stock Desire, one day I will convert him to an AOSP ROM I swear it.
[Desire General] puredesire:
Which radio is recommended at this time?
[Desire General] Bingley:
Tried 5.17.05.08 again, average reception all afternoon until I rebooted ~4pm now cannot even find a network, let alone connect to mine! :\
[Desire General] Hilarium:
hey guys

i'm currently using 5.11.05.27(never updated it before ever since i got my phone) and i just recently installed CM7.. i have no problems with it so far.. until i installed cm7.

only problem i'm having is i cannot send text msgs to ONE person(JUST ONE person), everyone else is able to receive my text.. this could be a problem with that person's phone , but he is able to recieve text from other ppl, just not me.

so i want to try out a new radio. maybe the latest one (32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17). I read the instructions on how to do it. but what is the windows-bat thing?

since i already have cm7 running on my phone, will updatign radios wipe my current rom? will i be able to revert back to old radios if the new one im updating to gives me more problems/issues?
[Desire General] inkredi:
Just updated to 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and it still shows 32.44.00.xxxx
[Desire General] viva.fidel:
When updating radios, you have to flash the radio zip and then reboot, it's at that point the radio is flashed, if you flash other things or go in and out of menus then the radio image isn't written and the version isn't changed
[Desire General] Jasoninaz:
I believe its a matter of truly matching the correct RIL and the correct radio.

Lets make this easy for people whom are not as technical.

Consider RIL the Drivers and the Radio the hardware.

Everyone knows when you install new hardware you need new drivers.

Is HTC-RIL 2.2.0028HM the correct driver for the new radio

firmware 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17? Everyone seems to dance around trying different RIL's (Drivers) to see which one fits the OS correctly.

Is there a method we are missing? Like looking at the version of the hardware of the phone? 99HLZ104-00 H/W:C A9192 All of this is under the battery. SKU65232

Hello.

I have compiled a list of FAQs here. PLEASE PLEASE read them before commenting.

Thank you.

[Desire General] [armitage]:
Just flashed the new one via fastboot.

Wifi works and seems stable so far.

Reception is fine aswell,maybe even a little better than before.

Also after reboot, no problems whatsoever.

Didn't use any new RIL,just used the one that came with the CM7(I'm on nightly 39).

Everything seems fine so far.:)
[Desire General] inkredi:
LMFAO, I know all that :) I know what im doing. the version DID change, from 32.54.xx to 32.44.xx :D

Flashed latest radio, version number doesn't change. Then tried older radios, same problem. Tried via fastboot and recovery. I'm on CM7. Strange...
[Desire General] devvi:
Having the same issue as above. Im on CM7 Nightly 39 and got the Radio from Leedroids 3.0 Thread (1. Post where he mentioned the Radio) i flashed it without any flaws, rebooted and version stays the same as before :/

Any suggestions?

/Dev
[Desire General] [armitage]:
Worked fine here.

Took the one mentioned in my signature,but I'm sure they're the same.
[Desire General] devvi:
Have tried your Version of Radio (in sig.) and flashed again, but this time i watched the install process. At the very end of the process it says no space left on device and something more, but i cannot read it because it blinks up for just a split second :/

I have the alpharev Cynogen Partition Table, may that be the reason and how can i fix it?

//EDIT: As seen on www.alpharev.nl it says:

As mentioned before i have the CM7 table with the sam size of cache(5MB) which isnt enough for the Radio image to flash. So i have to do this via fastboot.

/Dev
[Desire General] gambit3rd:
Tried all the radios from 32.44 up to 32.56. My stock one was 32.48 and best signal I got was -67 db.

The worst, for me, is 32.54. Signal is very poor in my case and the best I got was -79 db. Most of the time I only reached three bars as my signal instead of the usual four.

The best in my case is 32.46 and stock 32.48 and 32.56 with -67 db.

Anyway, 32.56 is said to be very battery hungry so I'll pass.

I double checked every radio about five times so I'm pretty sure about my personal data.

I don't know, yet, about battery drainage. Don't really know how to analyze it.

Gonna try 32.46 on daily usage to see if it's better in keeping the signal.

I hoped to have a better signal (actually I don't have signal when Iphone 4 struggles to have 1 bar) but no luck for now. :)
[Desire General] str355:
Cache partition is too small on oxygen/cm7/data++ to flash radios in recovery.

You have to pull the radio.img & flash it in the bootloader screen.

[Desire General] devvi:
Yip. Did the fastboot method. The flash went fine. Currently testing the new Radio. So far nothing "new" :)

Anyone use the radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 yet?

What's the feedback?
[Desire General] gippy2:
I'm using 5.17 radio and data/gps connection is better for me. Not sure about battery yet tbh but I think I will be staying with this radio. However some report its worse so I would think try for yourself is the only way of knowing.
[Desire General] juicebox666:
I'm testing the 5.17 radio now and the battery life is terrible! Signal strength, WiFi, mobile data and Bluetooth kick in instantly. I'm going to ride this out for a few days and see how it goes.
[Desire General] kecinzer:
Using this radio with Oxygen 1.0.4. No problems so far. Can't see any advatages yet.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Ok, I have flashed radios through fastboot dozens of times, and only when updating to this latest radio did I notice the progress bar on the fastboot screen! :D
[Desire General] andQlimax:
ya me too, but i'm sure with other radios there was no progress bar..this is the first time it appear
[Desire General] azz4eva:
Guys i have gone and tried a few radios. I have also tested the new latest GB radio ending with .08. the latest GB radio i feel is weaker in signal for wifi and net. BUT Signal wise its brilliant, for calls, no voice loss and it hasnt cut out for me yet. The others are stronger in wifi/net signal but calls sometimes drop and crackly... also with the older radios, the battery don't seem to last. I haven't tried the ril files as i cant find them.. if anyone has the ril files for the new GB .08 radio it would be great to try it. if you could post it.

Hope this helps for some people :) (im using HTC Desire custom leedroid 2.4 rom and on orange network)
[Desire General] undercover:
Here mate. http://db.tt/Lwe1Ti6
[Desire General] juicebox666:
That radio gave me terrible battery life until I coupled it with the GB RIL. You can find it here.
[Desire General] GuestK00150:
Which RIL are you using with the latest radio 5.17.?
[Desire General] fazlee90:
The newest radio drain my battery fast. I will flash older one.
[Desire General] [armitage]:
Absolutely no battery drain here whatsoever.

Charged my phone over night,had it at 100 of course then I've done a few things for example installed the latest CM nightly and so on and it was down to about 91.

After that I switched it off charged it back to 100,wiped the battery stats,rebooted and it worked just perfectly since then.

Had couple of calls over the day,listened to music for about 30-45mins.,had wifi on for a while,downloaded some app updates and now it's at 85%.

Which is pretty good I think.:)
[Desire General] azz4eva:
thanks man will test this out
[Desire General] Beso:
Is it still needed to wipe battery stats in new ROMS? I am using Leedroid 2.4.1 ROM.?
[Desire General] juicebox666:
HTC-RIL 2.2.0028HM (Sep 20 2010,22:33:44)
[Desire General] gippy2:
Tried that ril, excellent signal and picks up quick, however cuts out with total lost signal once on a call. Strange how this is affecting people differently. I wonder if this could have anything to do with what network carrier people are on.
[Desire General] puredesire:
Has anyone here had problems with the newest radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 3g/data lose connection at times?
[Desire General] juicebox666:
I think it has everything to do with network carriers. That's why you have to experiment.
[Desire General] gumpelstilzchen:
I tried 56 on a three day vacation and didn't like it. GPS didn't always work as expected and signal strength was rather meh (noticed this at home, too).
[Desire General] puredesire:
What radio do you recommend then?
[Desire General] gumpelstilzchen:
I had 48 before and it worked fine. But I haven't tried many Radios - just installed 54 because most say it works well.
[Desire General] sjgore:
For me, battery life was apalling with 56, about 5% an hour on standby . Gone back to 54 and am back to less than 2% per hour.
[Desire General] MKuiter:
I tried the new 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 but it wouldn't give me a GPS fix with 6-7 sats and I waited several minutes before I gave up. 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 seems to give me the fastest GPS fix (within 10-30 seconds). The signal strength is always poor whatever radio I use; I never got lower than -83 dBm and -110 dBm is more common than not. 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 gives me the best signal strength at times and the GPS fix happens within a minute so I'll stay with that radio for now.
[Desire General] crapula512:

Noob question.

I just flashed 32.56X radio via fastboot (I have Oxygen). No RIL.

Now I want to update oxy (from 2.1 to 2.1.1). Once done, do I need to flash the RIL or not?
[Desire General] v_ghelani:
I tried to install 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 via Rom Manager (Cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1) but either its failing (it all happens to fast in recovery) or its flashed but not showing up correctly in in baseband version (my previous baseband is showing).. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Desire General] mofirouz:
you probably have modified the system partitions. Probably running something like Oxygen HBoot and etc, and therefore don't have a large enough cache partition.

You have two choices:

1) Flash your radio through Fastbook (with a computer and terminal) with:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

OR

2) Choose a different partition that has more than (i think) 20Mb cache

your choice.

Also, please SEARCH the forum, or have a look at the FAQ that I compiled.

Thank you.
[Desire General] mofirouz:
No you don't need to reflash.

Please either search the forum or read the FAQ that I compiled, just right next to the radios that you downloaded.

Here is a link for the FAQs: http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/04/htc-desire-radios-faq/
[Desire General] puredesire:
Does anyone have problems with the GPS with the latest 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 radio?
[Desire General] v_ghelani:
I am running a modified hboot alpharev cm7 with only a 5mb cache which explains it, apologies your right you have already answered this question in your FAQ and so I should really have read it.. I will try flashing via fastboot..
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
i flashed the latest radio on my baadnewz GB sense ROM and it works but my data connection is very unstable. Even though the phone shows H symbol and arrows up and down flashing my connection is unreliable.
[Desire General] Hatticus:
Has anyone reported any problems using 5.17.05.08 on Orange (UK)? :confused:

Last time I flashed a radio it SIM locked my phone.
[Desire General] faddys123:
Can someone post the new radio here
[Desire General] erklat:
What's wrong with this?
[Desire General] iinga:
I knew there were some issues with flashing different 4.x radios back when the desire was a few months older, but I thought that they no longer sim locked the phone. Maybe they do. I unlocked my desire so I could change radios...
[Desire General] Hatticus:
I had to unlock it after the last radio I flashed SIM locked me, so hopefully will be good this time around.
[Desire General] puredesire:
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 works fine for me :D
[Desire General] jerdna87:
hi,

i tried to flash a radio with a metod:

Or here is my version (useful when no computers are around):

Download the radio to your SD card.

Turn off the phone fully,

Hold down VolDown key and press the power button once. Keep on holding the VolDown.

When you see the white screen, let go.

Wait for a few seconds .. usually count to 7 would work.

Scroll down to 'recovery' using the VolDown VolUp keys. Select using power button.

You get to the black page, with a few lines of text. Now start using your optical pad.

Go to "Install zip from sdcard".

Navigate and select the zip.

Accept and flash.

Phone will restart a few of times, then you will come back and boot up again with your new radio.

and i downloaded the latest update of radio...

it flashed susscesfully but now when i boot into recovery it says radio version : 5.14, and not 5.17?
[Desire General] rkuijpers:
You then need to mount /system first before updating the radio.

See mounts in the same menu if I remember correctly.
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
You must have a /cache partition of at least the size of the radio.img ( ~25.5 MB ) and the recovery must support the scripting language used in the update ZIP. The ZIPs provided in the first post use the Amend scripting. Otherwise you may either convert the script to Edify syntax or you flash the radio in fastboot mode.

I thought only /cache was necessary. What is /system used for in this case?
[Desire General] jerdna87:
ok how am i supposed to have partiotion cache of 25.5 mb? if i hboot cm7 will i have it?

and about scripts? how and which should i install.. sorry for noob questions? im still learning:)
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
If you look at the alpharev.nl site there's a table showing the partition sizes for each hboot. CM7 only has 5MB, whereas an unmodified Desire has 40MB.

There are instructions for flashing via fastboot just under that table.

As for scripting, it depends what recovery you have. I think clockwork 3 only does Edify, but not certain - I stayed with 2.5.0.7, which will handle both.
[Desire General] iinga:
S-Off users:

If you have CM7 hboot (or any s-off partition layout) installed, don't worry about flashing them through recovery. Put the phone in fastboot (reboot into bootloader then choose fastboot and connect to pc).

Extract the radio.img into where you have your SDK/tools folder. Then open CMD/terminal and navigate to said folder (eg: cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools). Then type

fastboot flash radio radio.img

Voila.
[Desire General] jerdna87:
thanks man:) i did it succesfully:=)
