[Desire HD General] yumm91:
The first, second and third post are explaining about all the things that u need to know before flashing radios including step by step procedure. It is risky so i advice u to try to comprehend the info first before flashing to avoid any issues.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Hi taheer, I know you also PM'ed me, but as yumm91 also posted, the full details you need, along with the link to the latest radio is in the third post of this thread. Follow the steps exactly as outlined in that post.
[Desire HD General] tAheEr73:
Much thanks for ur reply ..... i am currently on26.09.04.11-M2. and this is draining lot of battery. can u recommend me any good one to try regarding battery usage. and is these radios are related to particular carrier like voda , orange etc or these radio can be used also on other carried too??

please see attached pic, i have this type bootloader
[Desire HD General] rjand:
I'm using the one in my signature 26.17.14.11. They aren't tied to any particular carrier. It is in post 3. It says Inspire 4G but it also works great on the Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] xperiax8tester:
Im on 26.14.04.28_M and I cant get satelite lock,not even 2 satelites with moded antenna

Phone signal is avarage,and battery life is ok

What radio do you suggest me to flash?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
I've had no problems since I installed the latest radio. Read back a few posts. The latest radio and install instructions are in the third post of this thread.
[Desire HD General] tAheEr73:
thanks,

there is written "Please note: As it seems, this downgrading from this radio might be bugged."

what u say, if it not worked ,can i downgrade or flash any other radio?? or return to current one.
[Desire HD General] yumm91:
Yeah i also curious about that one before flashing latest radio. But after that gps working and im happy. :p
[Desire HD General] Largamelion:
I tried downgrading the day after I upgraded to the latest radio and it was no problem. Did some tests to compare performance and then upgraded again, all without issues.
[Desire HD General] DesireHDRenewed:
Thanks very much,

I was able to restore the GPS functionality after flashing the latest radio

Cheers
[Desire HD General] tAheEr73:
is there any way to take back up of radio, as if during flashing something got wrong, how to get back to previous one? or any way to avoid some problem if flashing go wrong , please give your value able feed back. thanks

yesterday i downloaded the radio and rename it to PD98IMG.zip

and then go to bootloader.

Please advice what may be the problem in flashing?

i have checked MD5 and that was quite OK. and renamed correctly and placed in root of sd card.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Are you sure you checked the MD5 properly? How did you check it? And what did you get?
[Desire HD General] tAheEr73:
i checked thorugh this site

http://www.winmd5.com/

from the radio thread link a folder named "PD98IMG_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M.zip" was downloaded. this folder contain two file

1-android-info.txt

2-radio.img

i renamed this folder name to PD98IMG.zip and moved to sd card root. then checked md5 check from http://www.winmd5.com/ by dragging it to this checking window. it matched. then power off goes to bootloader and there error msg appeared which i told earlier.

Questions:

is there any thing wrong done?

should it rename complete folder name to PD98IMG.zip or should rename the radio.img file inside that folder?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
If you are using Windows have you file extensions hidden? Your file may actually now be called PD98IMG.zip.zip and make sure that is the letter I and not the number 1.
[Desire HD General] tAheEr73:
Thanks and solute to u, bro. its been flashed.:cowboy:

second do u know any radio which is best regarding battery life?

as this is also draining battery a lot.

when on air plane mode my battery last for 1.5 days but on data/carrier mode it lasts only 10-12 hrs only.(without wifi usage and on 2G)
[Desire HD General] rjand:
It is not your radio that is using the battery it is some app or Google location services. Install a battery monitor app and wakelock detector from the play store to find out what is using your battery.
[Desire HD General] namanarora14:
thanks
[Desire HD General] Honusnap:
You're saying that "Radio.img MD5 Checksum: fefbcf7a411df7df31fea65417d92f36"

This is not right, checksum for the ZIP is fefbcf7a411df7df31fea65417d92f36 BUT the Radio.img checksum is : B3C3FE8DD79E933CC60A16D6D3C3A13F

Having a checksum for the entire zip seems pretty useless since Winzip/Winrar... will do a checksum check on the archive... if the zip uncompress correctly there a lot of chance that the files inside are correct.

BUT that do not mean that the file ON the SD card OR on you Hdd after decompressing is OK. .... => The thing to check is the Radio.img after the unpacking and not the Zip itself.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
The md5sum lets you know that the zip file hasn't been modified or tampered with.
[Desire HD General] Catilane:
Thanks rjand and Xeleth,

I have Jelly Time R11 with RADIO 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M but I don't have GPS. When i turn on my GPS it searches for satellites but never find them...

Can you help me, do I need to change my RADIO or what?
[Desire HD General] pjadec:
No need change radio. Maybe your phone gps antenna not work right, then you need to fix it. buy new one or do this fix.

wifi & GPS problem with CM based ROMs

I would like to use unofficial CM11 by [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] or taktik by [MENTION=1776875]randomblame[/MENTION] for daily driver but no matter what I tried i couldn't fix weak wifi reception problem with CM based ROMs out there. I have flashed the latest radio for my desire HD (12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M) but still have the same issue. On the other hand if flash a sense ROM like SVHD v2.1.0 or stock HTC, wifi signal works flawless. So that means problem is actually not related to the radio version, right? It would be rather due to a glitch on CM based ROMs maybe?

Does anyone have any idea why this could happen with CM based ROMs? Does anyone experienced weak wifi signal reception issue with CM based ROMs before?
[Desire HD General] lunatic19:
Which version of radio works best with wi-fi, and does't drain the battery so fast?

I installed the newest version(26.17) and i have weaker wi-fi signal than with the original radio.

I readed somewhere that all radio version starting from 26.14 have huge battery drain in sleep, and that the best version is 26.10.

Can anyone confirm that?
[Desire HD General] saidkouki:
excellenttttttttttttttt :D
[Desire HD General] Tortill:
Hi,

is there a way to flash radio without RADIO S-OFF or downgrade to stock version? I only have unlocked bootloader and no S-OFF and no RADIO S-OFF. I put PD98IMG.zip in the root of SD card but it stops on "parsing".

Currently I have CM11 installed.

[Desire HD General] deckoff:
Hello. I am running this radio and try to downgrade it. Bootloader says not a correct img - of course I have md5 the downloads, tried a few. Seems there is a bug that stops downgrading, any known workarounds?

thanks
[Desire HD General] jesterweb:
I could't find a way to work around the wifi issue with CM based ROMs. Therefore I get back to SVHD rom with ION-T16.1 kernel running without any problem. it is smooth and battery drain is in acceptable level.
[Desire HD General] nass1470:
Hi

Who can and wants to help me out with something regarding this RADIO thing?

I have the 4.2.2 - cm-JellyTime_42_R11 and gapps-jb-20130301-signed installed. The phone is S-OFF.

I want to make my iGo working (my GPS finds no satellites) and I need a new or maybe the last RADIO for HTC Desire HD.

Now is this suppose to be chosen taking under consideration the Android version? And after I find the right RADIO and I flash it, do i need this RIL as well?

Thanks !!
[Desire HD General] nass1470:
Hi

I have downloaded PD98IMG_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M.zip (July 2012)

checked it with fciv.exe and the check sum for radio.img is never the same with the one posted under the link.

How can I be sure that the file I did download is ok? How to interpret the checksum number?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] mooves:
The purpose of checksums is to run the source file through an algorithm (MD5 or SHA normally) and return a number. Once you download the file you run an MD5/SHA checker and the numbers need to be the same. If they are not then either you're file has been modified somehow during the download or the checksum listed (unusual) is incorrect.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Can you post your process for calculating the md5sum and the md5sum that you get?
[Desire HD General] nass1470:

Hi

Here it is: http://s290.photobucket.com/user/nass1470/media/final.jpg.html

Thanks !
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Hi nass1470, you are calculating an sha1 sum instead of the md5sum.

The md5sum is fefbcf7a411df7df31fea65417d92f36.

Remember to rename it to PD98IMG.zip if you get the correct md5sum before placing it on the root of your sdcard.

Turning airplane mode on/of makes it reconnect again, but after 10 minutes the same story, disconnect. Any ideas?

Also, thanks for putting this: "Please note: As it seems, this downgrading from this radio might be bugged." in the smallest Font ever. I cannot downgrade anymore so basicly my phones ruined :(

[Desire HD General] rjand:
Follow the instructions in post 3 of this thread, the radio is installed during the fastboot part of the system initialization, just before you get into recovery.

Put the radio image file on the root of your sdcard and reboot into recovery and fastboot will install the radio.

Hi everyone!

i just joined here.

have a htc inspire 4g from att, operating in europe, so only 2G edge is available. (same as desire hd, exscept different modem/radio)

trying some different roms,

all these different radio firmwares, are these taken off some manufacturer releases or did someone actually manipulate the firmware on his own?

i just wonder how you can manipulate parameters there?

the radio firmware is controlling the cellular modem/radio on a phone. so its actually the build in modems firmware, isnt it.

which on the desire hd is integrated in qualcomms processor ? ! insight?

is there a download link for the 12.69a... radio firmware?

so now type

fastboot flash radio radio.img and press enter

it should read sending....okay

then write.... okay <<<<<<once it wrote can take up to a minute

but before you type this please confirm you are radio s-off and eng s-off as you will need this if you need to get back its the life line

Yeap I can confirm as my screen says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF :-)

Okay it worked thank you dude :D

[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Thank you mate worked fine :D

I installed the 12.28e.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2 recommended radio.

Now just time to install cynogen rom and set it all up to make it look good :D
[Desire HD General] leith51:
no problem mate i was going off to bed cause im up at 5 but wasnt going to leave you hanging so stayed up to make sure it went through think i will revamp the guide a little with a few extra bits in it like the htc sync lol

but it can wait till tomorrow

by the way the 12.35a im using is pretty much the same dont seem to find any difference apart from the in quadrant it gets up to 1942 is my best score at the minute on a stock kernal using leedroid
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
hehe thanks...well you can have your beauty sleep now :p

Yeah most definitely need to add that to the guide although I have reported it in the Cyanogen mod thread too incase it is a bug...because I thought the radios were independent and shouldn't affect which ROM your using...
[Desire HD General] leith51:
it shouldnt effect it but it was to be on the safe side knowing the sync worked is the main thing then the adb drivers will install from sync

the radios are independent and when flashing one its advised to do that first then flash rom on top
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Indeed...although I'm pretty sure it was worth it in the end :D

I think that's the best way of doing it too...I'm sure there are others out there who had/still having the same problem.

Thanks again!
[Desire HD General] leith51:
not a problem if anyone else having a problem them just send them to my guide just revamped it ;)

EDIT: Ah, after reading back it seems flashing it over Cyanogen could be the problem. Guess I'll try flashing a Sense-based ROM then.

Thx

Maddler
[Desire HD General] _fm:
some radio works are depends in your area sir, here i am in indonesia have the best result with 12.35a, but others said that 12.35a give more errors,.

the best step to know is try them all one by one, followed with checking the gps lock, signal strenght and stability, volume (louder or creeper), wifi, bluetooth, battery drain, and anything related to radio usage,

once you found the best for you, you could just use it with every stock or custom rom you flash,.

hopes this help,

radio flash only via cable?

is it really only possible to flash a new radio via cable and ADB?

if a custom rom is installed with all the superuser rights, radio-OFF, etc, isn't it possible to flash radio from recovery mode or something?

just seems odd.
[Desire HD General] maddler:
Radio flashing is only possible via fastboot, AFAIK. You also need an engineering HBOOT. I guess that's because of higher privileges needed for this kind of operation. Odd but true ;)
