[Desire General] thanito:
Thats the case..I had the same issue with my hero as well before the desire, when u are in GPRS mode and you dont have 3g reception, if someone calls you the exact time your phone sends/receives data, your call goes straight to voicemail. If you have gprs on but data connection is idle (no activity), you shall receive the call.

cheers,

T.
[Desire General] VVV850:
I can confirm, but I haven't had this problem with my Nokia E71. I was always on GPRS with constant data stream any still could receive calls by putting the data on hold automatically.

Is there any possibility that in the future a prioritization will be possible?
[Desire General] sanfran:
Nokia E-71 is a GPRS (2G) Class-A device, thats the reason you could receive data and a voice call at the same time. I fear that this can not be fixed with a software upgrade on the Desire.

[Desire General] igorzaniolo:
which improvements than the 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2?
[Desire General] acolwill:
I caved in, unlocked my phone via htcunlock.com.

Just flashed 4.06.00.16_2 radio. Will test it extensively over the next few days and report back any findings :D
[Desire General] jauhari:
Can you share

recovery-windows.bat only

because modaco r5 root pack too big for me around 350MB :(
[Desire General] jauhari:
I was got recovery-windows.bat from here

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

Does this file same as modaco version?

Then, when I tried applied got this message

+++

[Desire General] DomFel:
Next time please read the thread first. The Desire MUST be rooted.
[Desire General] jauhari:
Thanks for your information
[Desire General] Twau:
These radio-updates, are they just updating the music radio?
[Desire General] acolwill:
The radio relates to the phones ability to make and recieve phone calls. This has nothing to do with the FM Radio reciever bundled with HTC's SenseUI
[Desire General] morogan:
Or not! Is written on the first page that it doesn't have to be root-ed
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I've just spent a long time reading this thread from start to finish.

MAIN question

1 - Does the phone need to be rooted? Lots of conflicting opinions here!

Also

2 - For an Orange UK Desire, should the unlock code be applied before or after flashing the radio?

3 - Should I use htccode.com for unlocking or somewhere else? (read about someone whose code didn't work)

[Desire General] igorzaniolo:
someone could tell me what are the improvements of the last radio updates?

Thank you in advance
[Desire General] sanfran:
As far as I know there is now change log available.

My personal impression:

The strength of the radio signal is almost the same as the version 4.06.00.02_2.

With the older version I had troubles with the data connection when switching from 2G to 3G network and back- Data connection could not be established any more.

With the new version this problem is almost gone.. have to observe this in more detail....

[Desire General] huwwatkins:
Has anyone else tried the latest radio? Any improvements?
[Desire General] twister_65:
EDIT/

sorry wrong thread,

but a new Radio is out official.

But is not the newest...

before the update my desire was with the radio 4.05.xxx

-------

my desire ( orderd by amazon) just maked a Systemupdate.

But no Froyo :( ;)

Only a Update.

The numbers are now:

Baseband/Radio: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166

Build: 1.21.405.2 CL 174215

Software: 1.21.405.2

all others entry a same... i think ^^

Firmware Version 2.1update 1 and Webkit 3.1
[Desire General] redlabour:
UMTS feels faster now. ;-)
[Desire General] smrtphusr:
quick update

ive turned on mobile connection/wifi on and just went through update hell

from 2.1 ecliar to 2.2 froyo as telus released their OTA update lol

my phone was rooted so had some trouble updating so i was turning the phone on off on off crazy taking battery out etc...

i started around 82 percent and now its at 75 considering ive been endlessly abusing it 7% drain over the course of couple hours I would say its decent

and/or at least better than ver 4.06

Im driving to toronto tomorrow and ill turn the gps on and all ill see how it goes!

i tried to install the 05.27, but after the installation is complete, my radio version is still the old one, any idea why?
[Desire General] shoonari:
does anyone have signed version?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
You should never be turning off verification to flash a radio that is just asking for a bricked device.
[Desire General] stoned99:
Thank you for this radio! I have a Telus Desire unlocked to Fido and had signal problem but this radio seems much better
[Desire General] iinga:
+1 wish more people thought knew this
[Desire General] boomam:
If its not signed, does that means its not 'official' like the others ones are?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
No it just means whoever "released it" did not sign it first.

Signature is a way to safely verify a file before flashing. With roms its not too much of an issue but with radios and hboots its a potentially massive problem!.

If for whatever reason your download corrupts and you turn off verification and then try to flash this radio you will be bricked.
[Desire General] boomam:
Think i'll wait for the signed one then. lol.

Any ETAs do we know?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
All it takes is someone who knows the file is not corrupt to run a simple script to sign it. I would do it but can't sign files on my work pc.

No idea why the desire has gone down the road of people thinking its ok to not sign things.
[Desire General] boomam:
Well i hope someone does it before i leave work today, would be a great way to show a colleague the advantages of a rooted phone. lol.
[Desire General] shoonari:
cant do that - i'm using amonra recovery.

eventhough, i've never had my device bricked

same for me pal, same for me

As long as someone can confirm the zip works from http://www.mightyrom.com/mrx/MRX/Bravo/Radio/Signed/32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.zip i will sign it
[Desire General] TheLastOne:
I can confirm that it works. I'm running it now.
[Desire General] wals1h:
i have it running now.

i flashed it and did a backup with rommanager when i first turned my phone on it was at factory state with no signal 3g signal and couldnt connect to my wireless as it said error. anyway installed rom manager and ran the backup from ther. few.. anyway it went back to normal and 3g and wireless now work.

is ther a way to flash radio roms without having to install all apps and data again i had another back up with titainium back up so had 200+ apps to reinstall not tht i used them all lmfao. just wanted to know if i could rum the radio rom and messin with the rest?

as you can tell im a noob :rolleyes:
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
I can sign it for you, i don't bother being s-off and the fact that clockwork has sig verification turned off by default. I thought i pulled the certs out all together.

As for "you shouldnt be flashing a radio with out verification" well it has nothing to do with the radio image when it fails it only the cert that fails. so IF the radio image was junk, and it was signed it would still flash the garbage radio to your ****... provided the radio image was signed by htc's cert and you are s-on.

Its signed and reuploaded, Link remains the same http://www.mightyrom.com/mrx/MRX/Bravo/Radio/Signed/32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.zip
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
but your missing the point of when the first radio was not corrupt, but your particular download corrupted, if you were to download a good signed copy that then corrupted the signature would fail and it would not flash.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
If the download were to corrupt, the zip archive its self would not pass simple crc checking and there for would fail to extract. A corrupt archive will have a failure extracting.

If were going to get on the topic of how users should flash really, users shouldnt be flashing radios from recovery period... but they do... so i provide the zip.

fastboot is the only recommended and proper way to flash a radio image if were going to nit pick about safety here.

On a side note, you're assuming that if the archive was infarct corrupt that the certs would some how save the masses from a bad image file. well if your theory has any kernel of truth then let me play the devils advocate and point out what if the radio was corrupt but the certs were not. There is the possibility that it will still verify and move on. Or the fact that a lot of users run clockwork recovery which by default appears to have cert verification turned off. I know mine did.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Just downloaded and flashed via fastboot no probs (first one I have flashed via fastboot actually) - less worrying than recovery mode!
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Thumbs up for the flash method :)

for any one else whop wants to do it in fast boot, which is my preferred method

'fastboot flash radio /path/to/radio.img'

[Desire General] TymmyD:
Trying to flash this new radio. Looks like img is just over 25meg. How do I flash this with just 10meg on system partition? This all I have left on a 180meg partition after data++.

Error message on reboot saying no room left on system.

Fastboot?

Thankyou .
[Desire General] wph:
I haven't flashed any radio's since I have S-Off, so normally I flashed them in recovery. I know how to flash via fastboot, but can you explain why fastboot is safer then recovery and what the underlying difference is?
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
The radio is seperate from the system partition. The radio has its own space. I think!

I think the reason is that you are adding another layer of software if you use a recovery to install the radio? Where as, if you use fastboot, you are using Google software to install it directly.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
it was there, it just was masged in with the word same ;) als well as the link is about 3 pages back as well :P

Is really safer to flash radio VIA fastboot?

Pushing files from pc (it can crash, poweroff for ac failure... and so on) doesn't seem safer than pushing it from SD card using battery, IMHO obviously

Just in case i want flash via fastboot, do i need to s-off before?
[Desire General] bubu.:
What I really don't get: Why shouldn't it be safe? Isn't it the same as flashing a rom: If I flash a corrupted one, I couldn't boot. So in both cases, I would have to boot into recovery mode, wipe and reset factory defaults and flash again. Why does it matter at this point, what I flash: wether it's radio or rom?
[Desire General] Radikaal:
except radio isnt affected by "factory reset" and that being interupted in the middle of a critical radio flash bricks your phone and you are screwed. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] spitjo:
Exactly. With a bad radio flash you lose access to bootloader, recovery, adb, fastboot....

So your device is f****d forever...
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
fastboot is the way google intended it to be flashed and its not direct from pc to the radio its sent to cache then written

well the radio is required to boot correctly, the ncie thing about the 21st century is if the image is bad it should fail a crc, then refuse to flash.

this iss true if something happens during the radio write proses, like a battery pull. but like i said as far as ive been told and know if the radio image its self was corrupt it will just give you rage over the crc and refuse to flash it.
[Desire General] bubu.:
oh okay, thanks, didn't know that... so u have to send it in to HTC RMA?

I wonder why I didn't need to turn off sign-verification to flash the radio from above (1st link which was posted to the new one, which was unsigned and thus not flashable for some people here)
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
I signed it and uploaded to appease the skeptics :)
[Desire General] spitjo:
If you brick flashing a non-official update you lose warranty too

Maybe u are using clockworkmod (or rom manager, it's the same)?

It seems that clockwork has verification disabled by default.
[Desire General] ieftm:
It's not written to /cache with fastboot.

It's written to RAM, checked (CRC/signature) and written to radio flash directly if it passes. Hence, less reboots.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
semantics lol i meant it was cached to the device, in this case its caching it to the ram :p

I'm still getting "no space left on device" error when flashing. Will not flash with fastboot either.

Alpha data++ partitioning. If it is first flashed to cache I could understand as I only have 10mb cache. Also 10mb spare on my system partition.

Any ideas?

5.11.05.27 really does drain the battery too quickly, reflashing 5.11.05.14
[Desire General] shoonari:
dont forget that you should wait for couple of days after flashing, until system is "stable" again

for me its quite good radio, i got real improvement in gps accuracy
[Desire General] coutts99:
Can some one tell me how to sign radio files please?
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
I don't confirme. I use few days 05.27 and battery life is very good.
[Desire General] peytral:
Same here, I find it to be less power hungry than 5.11.05.14. I end up with a bit more battery life than usual at the end of the day.
[Desire General] annewbie:
Battery consumption is similar to 05.14 but reception is better.
[Desire General] BumAround:
Who cares you confirm or don't confirm (not confirme), user experience differs depends on the signal strength and operator. Duh.
[Desire General] Number22:
I've had the same problem. (100/5/333 partitions here).

Anyways, the solution is to flash the radio with fastboot, since that method bypasses /cache. Worked perfectly here.

There's a nice guide here. Just remember to extract the radio.img from the .zip before flashing.
[Desire General] TymmyD:
Thankyou for this. Thats what I done wrong. Never extracted the img.

Much appreciated.
[Desire General] KroonBerg:
I tried this, but it just says; "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"

[Desire General] Latty:
After some testing, 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 has a fairly high power draw for me.

32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 thus far has been the best battery-wise, with 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 as a close second.

I've tested this by using currentwidget in a location with low reception (< -110dBm), and taking the mean (over an hour+) of idle current draw each minute. Reception is essentially the same among those three radios.

(32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 should be added to the post 1 list!)

Which command shall it be?

Fastboot flash....

Rename the radio before flashing?

You must be S-OFF to flash radio with fastboot... ;)

Doesnt work for me with data++ table

[Desire General] spitjo:
Are u sure?

I didn't noticed that in the guides i red....

How can i know if i'm s-off?

I rooted my desire with unrevoked 3.2, in the info is written that it s-off only if possible (means nothing...)

EDIT: unrevoked faq says that it permanently s-off only bravoC (cdma desire), but after 10 lines of text it say that

"Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader. If you choose not to disable security, the /system partition will be read-only after the tool completes."

but without pointing to specific devices....

So, the question still is... how to check if i'm s-off or s-on???
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Extract the radio.img from the zip file.

Then fastboot flash radio radio.img (or substitute radio.img for your path/to/radio/.img )

And yes you need to be S-off to flash radio via fastboot.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] ferreinf:
did u flashed threw RM?

enter directly to recovery and flash it...

same thing happened to me flashing the radio i´m using now... :confused:
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
To check if you are s-off you need to turn off your phone, hold Back and power on your phone. It will tell you your hboot version and security status at the top.

Unrevoked is NOT used to s-off GSM desires. Use alpharev (alpharev.shadowchild.nl ) to do it on GSM.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] spitjo:
Ok thanks

Btw, i wanted to flash radio via fastboot to reduce brick risk to minimum, but s-off is dangerous too (maybe much dangerous than a radio flash via recovery...)

So i think i will stay with my current radio (and my giant battery drain problem...)
[Desire General] pa.pn2:
thx found it on the alpha rev page

thx for your effort

works fine this way^^
[Desire General] ferreinf:
Enter Bootloader (vol.down+power)

Check for Hboot normally after root using unrevoked u get root privileges but not S-OFF (security off) so u need to S-OFF the phone see here how to : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805811

so if u want to flash Radio/recovery/Hboot with fastboot u need S-OFF... at least for Desire (Bravo) like mine...

[Desire General] Rumball:
I'm still relatively new to Android and have had one nagging question regarding the HTC desire radios.

There are basically three different HTC Desires available based on the 3G band that they can communicate on.

Australia:850/2100 MHz

North America: 850/1900 MHz

Europe: 900/2100 MHz

So when it comes to flashing a new radio onto our HTC Desires...does the radio version matter? Or are the cell frequencies too low level in hardware to matter to the radio software? I haven't run across a radio version that does not work on my Desire...but wonder whether there could be performance issues when using radios intended for a different Desire model due to very low level hardware/software conflicts.
[Desire General] eXDee:
Not sure. I have the A8183 "Australia:850/2100 MHz" desire. Every radio has worked fine. Ive ignored battery life because the difference between them is probably very minimal and not worth wasting my time testing.

However mine is on 850mhz 3G at all times as Telecom XT has no GSM fallback.
[Desire General] peytral:
The latest radio (5.11.05.27) comes from the Telus OTA update, so since you are in Canada it would make sense that it would work pretty well on your device, if there was such a thing as the radio's being version specific.
[Desire General] Rumball:
The thing is...I am using an Australian HTC Desire in Canada...so that's why I've been wondering whether a radio released by Telstra (Australia) would be better suited for my Desire than one released by Telus (Canada). So in my case only the 850 MHz band of the phone will work in Canada...and if the radio tries to use the 2100 MHz band it will never find any service.

Conflicting opinions about radio performance also made me think about this. I.e. one user will go on and on about how a certain radio gives amazing battery performance but another user will find the same version gives poor performance. This may be nothing more than people's own subjective views and usage habits...but I wonder whether model # could also be a factor.

I guess I'll just have to go through the various radio versions and try them.:rolleyes:
