camera n camcorder

Hey just rooted my desire and have leeroid installed with the latest radio, and i have reinstalled the radio again but my camera and camcorder just stay black when i load them any ideas??
[Desire General] grigoris_a:
Same here.I find .08 radio better than the latest.
[Desire General] h46it:
I just got a Telus Desire today and the Radio is:

32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

Where does this fit in the radio's? New? Older?
[Desire General] boomclart:
Installed latest 42. on OpenDesire and all good so far... snappy 3G, no signal dropouts so far, 720p works fine and on charge the battery zips along to 100% charge and stays relatively cool compared to previous radio at around 29dc.
[Desire General] kgk888:
I'd really like to try this out but I'm having issues getting past the silver "ANDROID" startup screen. I have an unlocked Desire with root (checked with Terminal app to make sure, su works).

I reboot into Clockwork. First I copy over 3.0 as update.zip and apply it. Then I copy over 3.0.5 as update.zip and apply it, then copy the latest radio over as update.zip and apply it. Then reboot.

Still stuck at this silver Android loading bar. Any ideas? :confused:

Should I format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard, and sd-ext in the partition menu of Clockwork before applying the radio and ROMs?

EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot. Explanation coming in a second

For some reason, when I hit apply update.zip after copying over the 3.0.5 ROM it said on the screen "Welcome to OpenDesire 3.0.0". So after copying over each zip (3.0, 3.0.5, radio) I would unmount the phone from USB first, then unmount/remount "sdcard". I think it was a little slow to update the file directory and simply forcing it with a quick remount of the internal sd made it grab the new update file each time.

Booted up flawlessly this time. Awesome ROM! :D
[Desire General] m4a1rifle:
Just thought to share the MD5sum of these 2 popular radio, my first download of .20 came up corrupted, thank god i compared with another forumer and re-downloaded.

e75698d9341820818dc7f345f48717cf - 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.zip

332797ee123be77f7833c38299f17b0a - 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
[Desire General] casca:
when I made the post about the best version for me,it was 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08

It wouldn't make those weird issues with the cell signal.

I have flashed AGAINto .20 to check some suspicious on battery life, and I was right, for me with the latest version radio (32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20) (the one that had bugs), lasts a LOT longer than .08 version.

And the weird part...I HAVE NO MORE SIGNAL BUGS...so I'm using the latest, and for some reason it's now signal bug free.

Don't get it :confused: but it works and lasts a lot longer.

Very old.
[Desire General] m4a1rifle:
should i disable Signature Verification when flashing radio?

if i enable Signature Verification, it always say signature verification failed.

I am using opendesire 3.1 rooted, with original SEA radio 4.06.00.02_2

i tried to flash to 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08 and 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 but came up signature verification failed.
[Desire General] jokeyrhyme:
I would definitely not recommend it. Just clear your browser cache and download it again, as maybe your download was corrupted.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
That should be fine, go into Recovery and disable signature verification to update your radio version.
[Desire General] m4a1rifle:
it is scary to flash radio when verification failed, i wish to provide more info hopefully you guys can help me troubleshoot.

i'm using original unbranded htc desire i bought in malaysia. today i root it using unrevoked method, and do nandroid backup, then flash to opendesire 3.1, copy the new radio file to sd card, boot into recovery and try to flash the new radio - verification failed. i tried several radios old and new.

can the error be concern that i use the clorkworkmod recovery that comes with the latest unrevoked? would i have better luck flashing radio with rom manager?

md5sum for the radio that i've downloaded:

e75698d9341820818dc7f345f48717cf - 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.zip

332797ee123be77f7833c38299f17b0a - 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip

if the md5sum match, is it safe to consider my radio aren't corrupted? can something else screw-up the signature verification process?
[Desire General] casca:
Just download the version you wasn't from the first post and you should be fine.i have used them both .20 and .08

If needed disable verification but only in this case, because I have used those radios and everything is fine.
[Desire General] m4a1rifle:
Finally gather enough courage to flash to .20 with signature verification turned off, it's working! 720P recording yeah.

Thanks.:D
[Desire General] arohrmann:
Difference .20 and .08

Hi there.

Where is the difference between 5.09.00.20 and 0.08?

I've got the problems with G3 and crashes when calling.

Because I'm using 2.2 with root-mod, I've got to update my radio up to 5.09.

Is 0.08 a better version?

Thanks for the help :-)
[Desire General] Komadyret:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I wonder if the older 4.xx radios will work properly with Froyo (2.2)?

I am currently having trouble with EDGE data streaming, and before doing the OTA to 2.2 I had no trouble streaming 64kbps radio on EDGE. Now it's choppy :(

(I also asked this a few hours ago in the Q&A forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751468), but chances of answer might be slightly higher here?)
[Desire General] teppic74:
Older 4.xx radios are not compatible with froyo.
[Desire General] Komadyret:
:(

Have to look into other possibilities then. Thanks for a quick and dirty answer. You're my man! :D
[Desire General] casca:
the .20 is the latest version and I think it's the best with signal and battery time.

although i was having some issues with the cell signal, that are magically fixed...don't know why lol
[Desire General] donald-c:
Using the latest radio for a wee while now, though now recently I'm getting absolutely no signal after about 5 minutes.

When I restart my phone it does, then it just changes to "no service".

Ps, this includes outside walking around in an area with fairly strong 3G.

Its actually only happened today, only thing I've done is install the font changer, changed my font and upgraded to OpenDesire 3.1!

I'll wipe and reflash, then edit this post if it works, I never wiped when flashing the ROM so that could have caused the problem.

Wipe & Reflash - Signal Fine

Flash Font Changer, installed app, changed font - Signal gone again... Guess I'm not allowed to change my font :(

Wipe & Reflash - No signal again... WTF :confused:
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Hi wonder if someone can offer some help :)

I got my desire on Tuesday (i.e. 2 days ago) rooted straight away blah blah.

Anyway I knew of the sim lock issue from the hero, anyway I would flash the radios to test myself however I currently have baseband 4.09.00.08 and I don't see this same radio anywhere else, I don't want to have to end up with an older radio than this if the newer radios do not work without an unlock code

(oh btw I did try to get an unlock code but apparently my desire is not yet in the database).

Any advice on this would be much appreciated
[Desire General] kirbz:
The latest radio works with Orange without sim locking. It's what I'm using. :-)
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Thanks

What number is that one? and why is the radio I am on not available on its own?

And your on Orange UK yes? (sorry have to double check)
[Desire General] kirbz:
Yeah on orange locked phone. The latest is 5.09.00.20 but 08 also works if I remember correctly. Reason yours isn't available is because its old.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Ok then will flash now

Fingers crossed
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Ah success

thanks loads! :)

Now I can enjoy 720p recording (not that I really have a use for it)
[Desire General] VirusUK:
Hey guys, just a quick question before I update the radio, my phone is already rooted and a new rom installed "pauls r5" and my camcorders is no longing working all it's doing is crashing the phone, is this because I haven't updated the radio?

Also just reading the instructions for installing and it says "6. # Run the recovery-windows.bat script from modaco r5 root pack"

Do I still need to do that when I already have the option to "flash zip from sdcard" in my clockworkmod recovery options?

Hope someone can help me, thanks for reading.

::EDIT:: All done, just ran the update zip from recovery
[Desire General] CM Wave:
Is it possible to downgrade a radio to an earlier version? I flashed the latest version earlier today without doing a backup (dumb) and now I can't play back any videos.

Also, if anyone could tell me which version came stock on the Desire from TELUS, that'd be great.
[Desire General] MarvinFS:
I got signal strength issues with latest

32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 radio indoors.

it's -110 dBm and 2-3 asu only. (zero-one bars in the signal level meter and no neighboring CIDs)

(it's ok outdoors though)

the same issues were with 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.

but it's all fine with prev. 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 radio -

-91..-85dBm 11-16 asu indoors (full signal level bar)

so even i use r8 WIP MCR ROM now, i have to go back to 5.08.04

*ASU is ACTIVE SET UPDATES - the rate at which your phone is able to update its location to the towers/radios

please advise...
[Desire General] nektario:
32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09 came with my desire from Telus. I'm on froyo with that radio still and everything except for the camcorder is working.
[Desire General] nektario:
Actually i just installed the latest radio and everything works including video playback, camcorder, camera, network, etc.

Maybe try a reflash?? or Maybe its your ROM.

I'm using the Pinky Desire 1.6 ROM.
[Desire General] EddyOS:

[Desire General] koRn666:
Thank you so much, i will try it now!!
[Desire General] ivarson_swe:
Nice. man i wish there was a changelog or something for these radios..
[Desire General] Markdental:
Where are you getting these radios? Any chance of getting some for the Nexus One?
[Desire General] fakts13:
i believe people are getting them from official or leaked roms for desire. probably makes more sense to ask in the n1 forum about n1 radios
[Desire General] himmatwala:
+1 from me.
[Desire General] fakts13:
last one came from an OTA rom. honestly you n1 guys would have a lot worse luck getting a radio for your devices here than you would in the n1 section.
[Desire General] Markdental:
The latest N1 radio is: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04

So that's why we are here :)
[Desire General] fakts13:
i understand. it seems our desire radios are extracted out of complete official roms, i believe only 2 were from "leaked" roms. i don't believe we've come across a standalone radio rom released by an "inside" source or anything of that sort, so like i said, chances of finding anything useful here for yourselves are very low.
[Desire General] cf125:
i just rooted my bosses htc desire locked on orange debranded it put modaco on the latest version 2.2, but now hes wifi dosnt work it find networks but can never connect would appreciate any help??? i dont even know if it is a radio issue any help??? please hes gonna kill me otherwise :(
[Desire General] fakts13:
what radio did you flash w/ the rom?
[Desire General] Beppemi:
Thanks for the new radio, im going to flash it ;)
[Desire General] atomfix:
Try reflashing the radio? Might of been some rare error while installing. Or might be that its the modaco rom at fault. I recommended opendesire. Very reliable right now.
[Desire General] Ghashul:
So far, I get Edge instead of HDSPA, but it could be network related...

If it persists tomorrow, I guess I'll have to reflash the old radio.
[Desire General] ram130:
Nice....can't wait until the n1 get new ones

anything new about the wifi-channel-13-problem?

If I understand it right, this radio is from an uk desire - but channel 13 is allowed in whole europe - only usa has no 13. :confused:
[Desire General] bigdog_nick:
Just got the latest radio 5.09 on my N1 running CM6 RC3.

What I've noticed within a few test that i did was my wifi download has gone from 4.87 mbps and to 5.20 mbps (after running a few tests and getting the avg).

However my actual 3g/h test wasn't so well. I've dropped a few bars + download is only around the high 1.9xx mbps. I'll test it all day today and see.
[Desire General] madnlooney:

Well, it's been getting H all day today, so it was apparently a coincidence yesterday.

I don't really understand the dBm numbers, but it's around -67 to -71 when lying on my desk. When I pick it up, it's more like -79 to -81.

As far as I understand, that's good?
[Desire General] Fightspit:

[Desire General] Jgruar:
nandroid backup, try flashing again. If it doesn't work, wipe & flash again. If it still doesn't work and youre sure its not your settings then its a bug in the rom.

omg im satisfied :)

Anyone on Orange UK tried this latest ....5.09.05.30_2 radio? I'm currently on previous .20 not sim unlocked jus debranded/rooted, worried that this radio will not work on orange network without unlocking.. anyone jumped right in the deep end an get sim locked for their troubles?

[Desire General] bushu:
Thank you, very muchly :)

I was a bit weary with the older radios apparently sim locking orange phones, took me 5 beers or so to flash the current radio lol

My UK orange desire is network locked and I've been on radio .30 since it was released and I never had any problems so far of my phone being network locked. So it should work fine for everyone else :D

Its been posted several times over the last few pages that it is fine with Orange locked handsets (probably due to the fact this will be the radio in the official froyo on orange)

[Desire General] vnvman:
Sorry for the dumb question, but imma noob...

Can I flash a radio via Clockwork Mod Recovery?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Yes, just like any other rom or Update.zip

But (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)

never battery pull when doing a radio, no matter how long it takes just wait! (when you get the option to reboot then its safe to do so, but not before)
[Desire General] vnvman:
Nice! Thanks a lot, brb flashing :cool:
[Desire General] Nodders:
Funny, I was thinking the same thing about your post
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Well its not as if he said nothing at all, like your post there, and mine now (and the other quote). He was telling us about his experiences of the new radio....
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Yes, I know. At least he wrote something but it'll be more useful after few days of testing.

For example, I can say that latest radio really improve battery, 3G/2G reception and GPS. I can tell it after few days of testing, not just after I flashed new radio. Another tip, try to switch to GSM auto (PRL) for me improve battery a lot, especially in bed 3G coverage.
[Desire General] vnvman:
Agreed..i just flashed it a few minutes ago, but from what i could see till now it really rocks: improved signal a lot, and also fixed most of sound bugs i had while i was playing games (OD 3.50), i'm trying out GPS atm...
[Desire General] sheek360:
Sorry if this has been covered already, but is this newest radio compatible with the nexus one?
[Desire General] Fightspit:
Simple answer: No.
[Desire General] sfjuocekr:
Yes closer to zero means less signal loss, thus more reception.

Will the company roll out another OTA with this Radio version?
[Desire General] mdmar:
After flashing neew radio, and a reboot, I'm now stuck at "Formatting cache..." in Recovery.

Should I just abort and try to reflash or what?
[Desire General] redsuns:
same problem.. anyone know how to fix? :confused:
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Download the file again.
[Desire General] neo2753:
Not sure its your case but most signature verification failed come for this :

- You tried to install a ROM but it didn't ended like it should.

What you can try is to reflash the last ROM before this one and let it finish completely (including full boot) then flash the radio.

While searching for this error i came across this explanation :

You flashed A but it didn't finish, then try to flash B but the bootloader is still waiting for A so it say signature error.

(Sorry I cannot remember where i read that)

Good luck :)
[Desire General] zoltrix:
Hmm.. now that i think about it, what do each radio update actually update?

An update to a rom or something usually adds features or fixes bugs, but what can the radio updates do?
[Desire General] spinz78:
ROM Upgrade

Again, anybody knows if HTC would roll out another ROM upgrade OTA with the new Radio version?
[Desire General] dolon:
Guys, GPS has a problem definitely.Many users reported in other forums.I have the same problem. Iam going to downgrade until it is not fixed. It takes 15 minutes to get the gps locked
[Desire General] wmfreak:
Better or Placebo?

I'm sure that for many the new .30 radio is somewhat better than the older .20 one but for some is just wishful thinking or placebo. After testing it for about 5 days I decided to go back to .20 for various reasons. Don't see any improvement as far as reception goes but it does eat more battery (for me). GPS lock time much longer!!!

I'm running Pinky 1.7 which for me is one of the best so far (sense rom). Orange RO

So I guess we each have to decide for ourselves which radio works best.

[Desire General] systemcrash:
This radio has a problem with the 3G/2G internet connection - after a few hours it times out and no amount of disconnecting or reconnecting makes internet work properly again. Pulling the battery also doesn't help. Reflashing radio does however. Tried radio from multiple sources, and checked the checksums. All passed. Weird.

I've noticed this radio version has a SERIOUS FAT file-system WRITE BUG.

Run this radio, mount your SD card as a removable disk drive, and copy more than a few files to the disk, or even copy files to it from the phones' android OS, and you will get a corrupted file system on the memory card.

My $0.02.

Has anyone else experienced this??
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
What ROM do you use? I had both radios and I did'n have any of yours problem. I didn't even read that anyone have it. I have 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and everything works just fine.
