I'm interested in trying other ROMs but I would like to be able to return to my current stock ROM if it doesn't work out. Currently I'm running a Bell ROM, but the version is more recent than this one.

Specificially, I'm running 1.34.666.5 with Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M.

Right now, both the firmware and the radio versions are newer than anything on the xda site. Would it be possible for you to obtain a newer RRU? I have checked both the Bell and HTC sites and couldn't find a download link for any RRU.

If it isn't possible, can I expect my phone to update to the current versions OTA if I give it this ROM?

Is it possible for extract the current radio ROM from my phone itself?

I apologize in advance if I'm asking these questions in the wrong place :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
if you permroot/s-off your phone. you can do a full backup using clockworkmod recovery. however, you do NOT want to flash official ruu's and such, if one is older then the one your on or from another brand, this will happen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484

if you want to try this rom, it will have to be A.made into an update.zip rom w/hboot, radio, and recovery all REMOVED, or B. take just the system.img out of it and flash JUST the system.img in fastboot in bootloader (not the fast boot in sense). "fastboot flash system system.img"...you will then need to re-permroot, but skip all the s-off/hboot stuff, you will still be s-off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mxpxboi:
Yeah, I need the Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M Extracted from your ROM too. Because I flashed the WWE ROM and I'm having signal issues, compared to my brother who is using that current Bell ROM. If I have to run the Bell ROM to fix this, I'd do that too, but I can't find 1.34.666.5 only the 1.34.666.1 that's listed in this post. :(

*EDIT*

So... I flashed this posted RUU "[RUU] RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2".

But found the kernel is different, so I couldn't S-OFF to get recovery back on. So... I had my brother S-OFF his phone and make a

Nandroid of his phone running 1.34.666.5. I then proceeded to flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed" back onto my phone, and then rooted, S-OFF, flashed clockwork" and then recovered using my brothers Nandroid backup. Then used clockwork to reset it back to factory. I then made a nandroid backup of that. So, I am posted a Nandroid Backup of

So if you flashed this, the steps are as follows to get back to the original Bell ROM.

1. Flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed"] ROM via multiupload.com /67NZB9NER1

2. Root

3. S-OFF

4. Install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager

5. Reboot into Clockwork

6. Recover using Bell HTC Desire/Vision 1.34.666.5 Nandroid Backup via my upload here multiupload.com /6SETLDCPJE

Hope that helps some people who are stuck!

PS To Flash the WWE ROM you might need a Gold Card, I used one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
I'd like a tutorial on how to extract just the radio from the WWE roms. If we could get them as .zip's, loading them with recovery would be very beneficial. I know that if you install a WWE update through HBOOT, you will lose your root and it will return your phone to s-off. Its a bit of a pain of having to go through the rerooting process every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
Mee too please,...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mxpxboi:
Did my post help anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
I just wanted the radio to flash over my current ROM to see if there was any difference in network reception for us in the uk. But I got a new sim now which seems to be a lot better.

I'm sure your nandroid will be useful to others.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
The radio version in this ROM appears to be identical to the one in my UK ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
Nice one Stevie,... I didn't even check the version numbers to compare.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnf1911:
Ok, so now that I've unlocked my device using the new gfree method, and have true radio S-OFF and SuperCID, I believe that I could now flash any provider image and return to my backup or a stock provider image at any time. I'm right, er, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] seattleboi1982:
i second, since its SuperCID, it should be ok right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I am not 100% sure on this myself, but I think it should be ok now. Before the problem was that you could flash an older ROM, and it would first off flash the stock HBOOT over the previous eng HBOOT that was giving you S-OFF. So this would immediately put you back to S-ON. However, now with radio S-OFF you will stay at S-OFF in the flashing process, because the change is made in the radio configuration partition, which won't be touched by the flash.

.zip file for the bell rom

Is it possible to make a update.zip from this rom? I wouldnt mind running the bell firmware sinced its got asphalt5 pre installed on it...love that game...i was just wondering if its possible if it would take a dev to actually make it into a update.zip then nevermind its not a big deal but if it was easy enough to do then it would be appreciated muchly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
If you just want the game, check the PM I sent you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
can anybody tell me what the stock radio is on the bell 1.34.666.5 rom is?

is it: 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2

or : 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M

or something completely different?

reason being i flashed the world rom (HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_m)

and my data cuts in and out and it drains the battery like crazy!

or would flashing this rom and radio work better for me:

RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e _26.03.02.18_M2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
I concur with you on the battery drain with 26.03.02.26, I ended up flashing back. Stock Bell DZ comes with 26.03.02.18
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
i had the exact same problem... so when i use your backup will that put the 12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2 radio on my phone too? cause im stuck on the .26 radio and having bad battery and signal issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
have you rooted your device / s-off'd ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
yes i sure have. the problem i have is since i flashed the world rom to debrand my bell dz i lost the stock radio and cant find a way to flash it back. and the bell ruu on here is the old one and when i flash that one to get the original radio the kernel is different so it wont let me root that one using rage or visionary
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
What you need to do is flash JUST the radio.img to your phone using Fastboot. Do you have AndroidSDK installed on your computer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
oh cool i didnt know you can do that, i tried loading a radio from the bootloader and it didnt work that way. how can you put it on using sdk. i just downloaded the program
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
first download the radio.img for 02.18 from this link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J4Z22YL6

if you are fastbooting the radio you must extract the radio.img from the .7z to an easy accessible directory. (i.e. the root of your c drive). when you have placed it here you boot your phone into fastboot and connect the usb. check your phone is recognised by fastboot. then you want to cd to the directory of your radio. assuming you put it in the c drive the command would be 'cd c:\' then you would enter 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
ok i have my phone in bootloader then went into fastboot now it says fastboot usb when i hook it up to my computer. now where do i write the command " fastboot flash radio radio.img"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
my bad, I totally left out the part about needing fastboot controller on your computer lol... download here http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/fastboot-win32.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
whenever i type that command i get " "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
i updated my last post, sorry. I'm using Linux, its a bit of a different method for me. Place that file in your AndroidSDK folder
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonoball88:
thanks bud that worked perfect for me!! saved me a lot of swearing that i couldnt find a unbranded rom with the same radio and a kernel that would let me root and s-off combination lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
No problem man, I know the feeling.

Now my next goal is to pull the new radio.img from the Egypt RUU that just got posted. Still trying to figure it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
if you want to try out some other radios, you can find them in this thread, I recommend only flashing the HTC_Vision ones though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799208

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hobjob:
Virtuous is based off of 1.72.466.4 from a recently released (found?) HTC RUU. That would explain why yours is higher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
Ohhh ok thanks lol that's would explain it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I think that yours is the standard Bell ROM that others have. But unfortunately we don't have an RUU or ROM image posted up for that yet.

However, based on what we are learning about version numbers where the first two numbers seem to be the actual version as such, and the second two numbers are a region/carrier/localisation code, I now wonder exactly what the deal is with this particular RUU.

My Z is currently rooted and running virtuous. Is this the only way for me to go back to the bell rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] B73C:
Just used this RUU with my DZ (rage/S-OFF/permroot).

Made a NANDROID just before flashing to cover my bases, and then crossed my fingers...

No problems, back to stock!

Good luck.

ps. had to update my USB driver to get the RUU to talk to the phone. Got them here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wirelezzz:
done it works on s off

I took the ruu and grabbed the image zip file from the TEMP folder on my computer.

renamed it to PC10IMG.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.

rebooted the phone in HBOOT and it automatic recognized the zip file.

installed perfect !!! i was s off , THANKS

BELL DESIRE Z offcourse it stayed on s off after the install
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nooge9:
Let me get this straight:

I have CM7 Nightly #36, (permroot and s-off obviously) and ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5.

Does this mean I can safely use the RUU .exe to flash EVERYTHING to stock?

I need to send my Desire Z back in for warranty work...my mic isn't working properly.

EDIT: By "safely" I mean "can I use this RUU without bricking my phone", and not "will I lose root and s-off"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheToiletSpaula:
does locations work with this ROM? need answer ASAP, i dont like virtuous :(.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redpoint73:
The Bell ROM does not include Locations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GlitchZero:
So after attempting the method in post 4 or 5..still no luck returning to stock. HOWEVER, found a method that might help some people out, or maybe even the one guy who stumbles across this with the same issues I had.

Anyways, if you're having the same problems I was (Coming from RADIO: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M SOFTWARE: 1.34.666.5) and going down to RADIO: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.18_m3 SOFTWARE: 1.34.666.1, getting Error 170 / 171, something along those lines, or it just won't install, give this a shot;

1) Install HTC Sync if you haven't already.

2) Download and install CCleaner. (Google it, NOT PCCleaner)

3) Open it, view Registry, check to see if there's any issues.

4) Hit fix.

5) Restart your computer.

6) Reinstall HTC Sync and leave it open. (for some reason this seemed to be important..)

7) Open the RUU from the first post.

8) Disconnect / disable your wireless connections (

somehow important

, don't know why, I'm no expert.)

9) Follow the RUU instructions (readme, update, etc)

10) If this doesn't work and it errors out, just reopen the RUU and try it again. It worked for me on the second try, after literally 6 hours of failure.

Hope this helps somebody before they smoke a pack in a few hours like I did!

I'm thinking about flashing the froyo rom and I want to back my apps up. Here's the issue. AT&T but a block on unknown sources. How do I enable it, or would RomManager work just as good?
[General Questions and Answers] Heartwire:
Hey guys.

Before id start.

Id like to say that i did do a forum search, and the results were either non, or to many.

So have had no luck with it.

Same for using google, came with things that were not even related to the android app.

Anyway, as far as my question goes.

Would anyone know how i can import playlists to Music PlayerPro?

Using the Galaxy S stock player, i could easily just sync with WMP and have my playlists imported to a /playlist/ folder on my SD Card.

But with this app, im abit clueless.

And manually making playlists on my phone on a 16gb SD card thats full of MP3's is abit...yeah..

Any help/awnsers would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] slaman:
I'm having this issue too... the player seems to be inconsistent with recognizing playlists... I sync with WMP and sometimes it just doesn't stick despite the .pla files being in the proper spot...
[General Questions and Answers] sumcrazyguy:
If you format your directories the same on your computer and phone you can simply drag and drop the playlist file. If they arent the same, just open your playlist file with notepad++ then find and replace all instances of "c:\music" (or wherever your music is) with "\Storage Card\Music"

Not sure if this is a boot loop or not but I updated HBOOT to 0.92 and when i rebooted my phone it always goes into the FASTBOOT screen. I'm able to get to recovery screen but when I reboot I go back to the FASTBOOT screen and can't boot up my phone.

How do i fix this? Do i need to reflash 0.79 HBOOT? if so, does anyone have a link where i can grab it?

I think you have to reflash a rom or kernel since updating the radio wipes the kernel.

Looks like flashing a new ROM fixed the issue thanks everyone!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I know it's been fixed, but for future reference flashing HBOOT wipes the kernel which sends you into a boot loop. If you have one handy, you can just flash one. If not, flashing a ROM installs a kernel.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharper:
I have searched all over and I am not having any luck, so I am hoping that someone here can help.

At the beginning of Oct. I rooted my incredible using unrEVOked and the Stock HTC Rom. Everything was working fine at the beginning until a few days ago when I went to go plug my phone into the USB port on my car stereo, this is where it gets weird. First the stereo was not able to recognize the device, which it was able to before, and it doesn't even attempt to look for anything, almost like I didn't plug in anything at all and the Battery light keeps flashing on and off. Thinking it might be an issue with the stereo, I try it with my wife's DX with the same USB cable and it works fine. So it is not a problem with the stereo or cable. If I leave everything plugged in to the stereo and reboot there is a few seconds that the stereo is reading the phone, but as the phone gets closer to finishing the reboot the stereo stops recognizing the phone.

In my attempt to figure it out, I first did 5 different restore backups neither one worked. I unrooted and did a factory data reset and that doesn't work. In my frustration I rerooted using unrEVOked again and this time I flashed virtious ROM and Kernel, this didn't fix the problem. So I tried a different ROM and Kernel this time using Redemptive rEVOlution 1.8 along with the Hydra Kernel and again no luck.

The strange thing is when I plug my phone into the PC, both internal and sd card drives are seen and I can access the files just fine. It is only when I go to plug it in to the USB port in the car is when it is not finding anything. My car stereo is not picky when it comes to internal or external phone storage and I have put music on both drives and it does not read either one. It is almost like a file or program got erased and nothing I have done is able to fix it.

Anybody have any ideas that might help?

Have you tried copying all the files on your sd to your pc then formating the sd card fat32 from windows and then copying all your files back to the sd.

Longshot here, but this happened to me w/ my vehicle when I put a ton of mp3's on a thumb drive, and not a specific folder on the USB....

Is the vehicle trying to index the contents of SD card or other device drive and cannot?

Is the music or other content on the device in a specific folder, or spread out amongst directories/folders?

Have you tried copying say the mp3's (whatever content) onto a flash drive, and whether the car 'sees' them?

Speculation: the vehicle is trying to catalog/index the files/content ~

As such, there are either too many for the vehicle to index, and/or desired content to be read by vehicle need to be consolidated into folder(s) the vehicle can see, read, and index.

Imagine the brain in the vehicle can only index so much content.

Maybe let us know the device that you're connecting it to.

Oh yeah, also some after-market USB cords will only charge and not send any data- so make sure that isn't your problem either.
