[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
Okay, so I flashed Unrevoked Forever, and my hboot is showing S-off. However, when I go to flash the radio in Clockworkmod, a quick flash of commands will appear, ending with "Installing Update", before it quickly kicks me back out to the main menu of my recovery, without having installed the new radio. Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Why are you flashing the radio in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
Well, where should I be flashing it? That's been a habit of mine after custom kernels, ROMs, etc., so I figured that would be the same. No?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
pb31img.zip is for hboot installations, not recovery. if you have the .zip on the root of your sd then just boot into bootloader (vol down + power) it will check the .zip and ask if you want to install the update. obviously, select yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Cite please? If your assertion is correct, then it shouldn't be an issue to locate and post a source document affirming it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greyflow:
Common sense. If you mess up a kernel install, or even delete the kernel/initrd, you can still charge the phone when it's off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Wasn't an issue at all: "source"

Common sense works too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pd240:
Does anyone know if a pb31img can be made for the 2.05 radio. My reception has gotten worse with the 2.15 radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
What is face detection? on the 1.x radio there was a box that will pop up for the auto focus, is this what your seeing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
You can now identify the person(s) in the picture and make that data (meta data) part of the file. There is also a way to location to the picture and videos
[Droid Incredible Android Development] buzzdroidx:
radio or...?

Just thought I would throw this out there...When the cell site is loaded with data connections, it prioritizes the calls on the available channels and can actually drop your 3G to a 1x to control the network traffic, and with so much of the network being used right now for sending out the 2.2 updates to various customers, maybe those updates are taking priority over your particular calls? I mean VZW can encode the updates to take topmost priority per channel, leaving whatever calls, data connections it wants to whatever channels are leftover. Maybe its not your radios at all, maybe its just the update trashing the network temporarily? I mean we all heard so much about the Droid 2 getting a couple updates and the X and maybe even the Incredible so my guess is the network will be somewhat swamped until these updates are completly pushed... just an idea..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pd240:
Can I extract the radio image (2.05) from the original ota zip file and replace the 2.15 radio image in the pb31img contained in this thread? Then flash the file in hboot to revert back to 2.05. If not, I will just wait to see if the official ota comes with an updated radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
That's cool, thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
When you say the root of the SD card, do you mean the root folder or the actual bottom of the folder tree? I tried placing it in both spots, and it tells me "no image found" in hboot. I checked and my SD card is the right type. What am I doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
When you open up your SD card, that's your root folder. Just paste it there by its lonesome along side allllll the other folders and random files you have on there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
"No image or wrong image" is the message I keep getting.

EDIT: Do I really NEED the radio update before I can flash SkyRaider 2.5.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Coast19:

My phone keeps randomly shutting off with this radio. I'll go to grab my phone and hit power and it boots up. wth! Need to go back to 2.05.00.06.11 anyone have that file?

I have the 2.05 radio on my desktop I could put it up on my server later today if you still cannot find a copy.

With the 7.28 radio I have gotten worse reception and wifi tethering is practically useless now since my data connection drops every minute. The 2.05 radio worked fine for me so I am also looking for a file to flash only my radio if possible. I have s.off thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
7.28 radio???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Yea, the one this thread is about. It doesn't work for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
The thread is about 2.15
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
2.15 is the version, 7.28 is the release date. Look at this topics name. I am referencing it by the release date.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I get it now....i (and many others) call it 2.15...but I gusee its a matter of personal taste
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Does anyone have a way to install the 2.05 radio only?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
um, the 2.05 radio was released 7/27. this radio wasnt out till the 11th or 12th of august.

2.05 radio is still only in the 7/27 ota leak. have to downgrade, apply and reroot. honestly, i made the switch from 2.15 back to 2.05 myself. not that hard as long as you have everything backed up properly (apps-titanium, contacts-google account etc.) ive been running cm6 on the 2.15, but reception was terrible in the 100s dBm, but was fine on the sense 2.2 for some reason. so i reverted. signal stays under 90 dBm now.

if youre wanting to just downgrade the radio but not change roms, you can just nandroid backup, do all the crazy steps to wiping out your phone clean and then applying the 7/27 leak, and then youll have 2.05 and can just nandroid restore whatever you had before you started.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pd240:
Is it possible to make a pb31img with the old radio(2.05) in it? If you have s-off can you flash an older radio over a newer one?

I updated from the earlier 2 series radio and after the flash reprogramed OTA the SPL etc

FAT32 and still no recognition for autorun

I'm having the same issue with HBOOT not finding the PB31IMG.zip image even though I can see it finds the zip in root.

Properties say my card was FAT32 but I tried a reformat with phone OS. Then tried fat32 1024 via PC. No go.

Reformatted with card reader and laptop in Fat32 default still will not autorun PB31IMG.zip.

Any other suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] glitch620:
Tried to install this radio update (was at 2.05 with Skyraider 2.5.2 Sense) and it boot looped the phone twice. Just an FYI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
any one have a step by step way back to this radio with the s-off 2.05.00.06.11 ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
no, because the 2.05 radio file is a patch, not a full image. you have to go back to 1.00 then patch to 2.05 if that's what you want.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JDBSC1:
Hboot vs usb hboot

For those of you not able to update using zips even when in HBOOT. Make sure you were not moving 90 miles an hour and left your USB plugged in after moving it to your sd card.

If you were like me you left it in because you needed the juice after hours of procedures for the charge. This actually leaves you in USB HBOOT not the same thing.

I hope this can save someone some time :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
Thanks was not sure if need to go all the way back 1.00.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
I've formated my sd card to FAT32, downloaded the zip file from the incredible to my phone, then moved the zip from the download folder using astro file manager to the root sd and im getting no where being able to flash the newest radio! can someone please help me out.

thank you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
How much under 90 dBm? I'm having the exact same problem and was considering downgrading, but if it's only slightly under 90 dBm I'll go back and try a Sense ROM instead. I'm consistently getting between 90-105 dBm. My wife's Droid sitting right next to my Incredible reads 6-15 dBm. Both phones are running CM6 rc3.

Edit: Apparently my dBm reading is off on my wife's droid. I used to cyanogenMod settings to put the dBm in the status bar. It's reading is way different then the one in the settings/about phone/status.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
You have to nandunlock your incredible first

Is there a cyongen rom with HTC sense and not just froyo
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
I ran UnrEVOked forever and have S-Off.

Not that I know of. I'd probably just go back to Sky Raider Sense. I was really excited to finally switch to CM6 as I love it on my wife's Droid, but this radio issue makes my Incredible nearly unusable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
I've also just currently realized cm6 is not compatible with chevys 1.25ghz kernel :( looks like I will have to go to sky anyway lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
What rom is compatible with chevys 1.25ghz kernel because obviously not cm6 because I can't get past the HTC INCREDIBLE white screen now do I need to get an exchange or am I able to recover the phone by flashing the compatible rom I can get into clockwork recovery but I never saved a rom on my sd :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
@d8nke you have to format the sd card before hand then you can install the zip to the root. Directory of the sd card and it will recognize it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
huh? was that really meant for me?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alwayssc:
HELP! After installing new radio, I am getting "no network connection" message. I cannot connect to the internet. My software shows broadband version 2.15.00.07.28. I previously had 2.05. I'm rooted with Unrevoked Forever. Plain vanilla froyo 2.2 with sense. I may have forgotten to hold down volume button when powering down. What should I do? THANKS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
Sounds like you are in the same boat, with poor reception with the newest radio. From my understanding to go back to 2.05 you have to downgrade back to the 1.x radio and then to 2.05. I'm confused though, how do you have a plain vanilla w/ sense? I thought you can either have plain vanilla or sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alwayssc:
Never mind--fixed it. my mobile roaming was turned off. whew!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
does unmounting the sd card and formating within the phone make the sdcard a FAT32, or is it necessary to do this from the computer???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
LOL!!!! WOOOOOOOOOW!!! just pulled a pure newbie id10t lol!! just realized after a couple days i had to do an exchange with Best Buy Mobile for one and i had the Samsung 2GB card and all i ever did was root it lol i never formated the card that came with the new swapped incredible...I had my 16gb fat32 card in my car just grabbed it and BAM on the newest froyo radio ugh 2 days of me going bald and thinking im losing my mind lol!!!

ok...so off topic on updating that now that it works :D :D

has anyone noticed distortion or muffled quality using teh .07.28 radio w/cyanogen as suppose to using it with SkyRaider 2.52.2? also which overclock kernel is compatible with Cyanogen and/or SkyRaider??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] glitch620:
Is there anyway to update to the 2.15 radio from the 2.05 radio without reverting back to 2.1 first? I've got SkyRaider 2.5.2 installed and when I tried to install the 2.15 radio it ended up boot-looping the phone. Luckily a Nandroid restore brought the phone back to operational.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
There is no reason to revert to 2.1 to install the radio. After all, you're installing from HBOOT so what OS version you're running would be irrelevant.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leebsammy:
yes, this radio gave me distortion/worse reception/and very long battery charging times with cyan rc3.. went back to 2.05 and all is back to normal
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
I concur. Going back to

2.05 as soon as my wife is off the computer...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Does the 2.05 radio have the same issues with data dropping which requires you to either toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone in order to get your data connection back? I had that problem with the 2.15 radio so had to downgrade back to a 1.0 radio and a 2.1 stock rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
To everybody having signal issues. Have you tries *228 option 1

Might help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
For me, the 2.15 is better than the stock radio, but I never tried 2.05. Though the garbled call quality is still there, the reception is better and averaging -5 to -7 dbm better signal. Running 2.52 Sense with the kernel that came with Sky. -75 dbm at home and no worse than -90 at work.

Signal for me in Ky has always been good with the Inc, but now even better. 3g everywhere in the area (helps that they bought all the Cellular one towers in the region).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] poulosjr:
I just had to revert back to Cyanogen I was experiencing random rebooted while in a call with the newest radio and SkyRaider unless someone can guide me to a fix for that ill be glad to keep skyraider 2.52.2 on I have koush ovc 3 @1.19ghz...someone let me know asap

Thank you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
Reboots are usually caused by overclocking. A lot of people have found their phone can't handle 119. Try backing it down to 115 or 113.

Radio 2.15.00.07.28
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doctor Butts:
The only issue I've noticed with 2.15 is that since I've installed it, Market does not seem to operate correctly.

I frequently have to 'cancel install' and re-download again because it often does not install after downloading- or just doesn't download at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheLynxy:
Just flashed this on SkyRaider 2.2, baseband 2.05, S-OFF, and everything is working great. 3G on, GPS doesn't lock up, download/upload speeds remain the same, and I have no improvement whatsoever with increased signal (-108dBm before and after)

Edit: Just noticed that my signal at work no longer fades in and out. Constantly 3G now, when it use to be mainly EVDO/no signal. Rock on!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Viralwhite:
Need some help here.

Upgraded radio to 2.05 then up to 2.15. I was having poor signal with 2.05 and when I upgraded to 2.15 when my phone boots up immediatly the signal will go from full > Nothing > Full > Nothing and eventually smooth out to a bar or two.

The problem is, I notice that more often I have no bars and for a second or two I will have the bar or two. I have done the *228 (1) with no luck.

I'm doing this from my apartment which gets poor signal usually, but not this bad. On stock with no root I was getting a steady two bars.

Any ideas please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mzmartipants:
I'm kind of confused. It seems like this radio is a downgrade, not an upgrade. I've waited on changing because I've heard in various threads that the battery charging time is increased and the signal level has decreased. Why would anyone use this radio? Are there other benefits besides the face recognition?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Who cares about bars? Is your actual dBm signal bouncing all over like that? Are you dropping calls or switching from 3G to 1x and back constantly?

I'll occasionally see my bars go from 5 to 2 to 5 to 2 over and over, but the actual signal strength doesn't wobble at all. Bars are not to be trusted.

The charging time issue is software related (charges fast when powered off), probably caused by the leaked proprietary files not being the final versions. Hopefully the official OTA proprietaries fix this. Signal level reports have varied wildly, and therefore should not be trusted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
yea i am having the same issue with 2.15 radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mzmartipants:
Noted. But again, what's the benefit of upgrading?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dimebagdan65:
Just installed, camera ok, gps ok, signal strength improved/ more stable, market's fine, CM still there @ 2.5.0.5... So far, so good, so no worries :)

EDIT: Quadrant 1621 and Linpack 39.303 :)

EDIT: WiFi tether working great :D

I would try the hybrid prl I've read some good things on it....I haven't personally tried it with my incredible (yet) but when I get around to it I most likely will basically its a tweaked prl that gives better stability in signal
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bensl84:
OK you guys may have already covered this but I found out something very interesting. at least i think with charging and signal. I was at my grandmas with horrible signal and nothing to do. my charging was horrible as well.stuck on 1X and sometimes 3G

I was using:

Skydaider 2.5.2 vanilla

kind bfs kernel

I decided to check out what adrynalynes roms were about and i flashed Franken Rom, with what ever kernel the rom has.

wow Charging double and i was in 3G the hole time. I don't know if its the kernel or the Rom but I had 2 days to test and the signal and charging was night and day difference. just some newbie Input.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wesny:
Decent radio so far. Haven't seen any improvement to reception. I have been having trouble getting GPS locks. Tends to take about 2 minutes to get a lock when I could easily get one in 30 seconds before. So far my only problem though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tommy96814:
why is it looking at the 2gb system drive and not the sdcard? that drive is formatted as fat. that could be a problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neurostu:
Can I install this radio over a stock 2.1 install or do I need to install the 2.05.XX radio first?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Studmf:
No, you can just install the 2.15
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
I don't know if its the radio's fault, S-OFF fault or just my device.

Since updating to radio 2.15 and S-OFF I have noticed:

Battery dies really fast.

Signal is ok most of time, but seemed better with 2.05

Have weird issues like SD-Card was automatically mounting sometimes when connected to PC

I just downgraded to hboot .77 and radio 1.0 gonna reinstall 2.05 and see if the newer radio is the culprit.

Also was weird at first I was getting awesome battery life with the new RUU leak, then I went and installed someones deodexed version and battery and such started having issues again. Tried going back to the new RUU and **** wasn't working good again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SoCGHOST:
Is there any real advantage of flashing 2.15 radio over the 2.05 I already have? Signal difference, stability? Also does anyone know what the official baseband version is released with the recent OTA froyo update. I'm just curious if its either of these or an entirely new build.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
I would say do it, because 2.15x is the radio that is coming with the official 2.2OTA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SoCGHOST:
Thats what I was looking for... Now that I know its the official release version I will update. Thanks for the reply.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
You could have used the Search button to get that information... just saying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SoCGHOST:
I tried, but I must be a bad searcher... It never returns any related finds. I end up in threads that have nothing to do with what I was looking for. Trust me I always try and find it first before asking, been in allot of forums.. Thx tho.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Yeah, the search engines in forums in general could use a ton of improvement. You often can't search 3 letter words (which you need to often search because of the use of acronyms, etc.) and you often can't search certain characters other than letters. Why can't a forum just use google as its search function? I think Google offers that kind of service for websites for free.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mzmartipants:
are you implying that the 2.05 radio isn't compatible with the ota?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morbos:
I used the search button to answer the same question, and this was the thread I found the answer in. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
I am using 2.05 with the RUU which is the same as the OTA and it seems my phone is functioning better with that. I just downgraded then updated again since I couldn't find a single file install of the 2.05 radio. Anyone got one out there? Anyways, it seems I have better battery life with 2.05, my phone doesn't get really hot like it was with 2.15. Anyways after I went back to 2.05 I just installed someones deodexed zip from the RUU.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] airric00:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfcrockett:
I'm looking for 2.05 radio as well.. your sig gave me a good laugh, epic!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
The only way I know to do it now is to downgrade to this

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Inc...6_hboot_0.79_release_161494_NoDriver_0514.exe

then do the OTA that came out a few months back with 2.05 radio

2.15 radio kills my battery like crazy, gives me problems with market, and my phone gets really hot. I wont be surprised if we get another OTA soon to fix these problems. I tried going back to 2.15 radio last night. My phone was fully charge this morning and in less then 3 hours it lost 50% and I barely touched it and it was getting hot as hell, could feel it just getting hot in my pocket.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
I decided to keep my 2.05 radio when 2.15 came out, and after reading through these posts I'm glad I did.

I'm using 2.05 and my battery life is average and I ever so rarely overheat my phone.
