stuck at sending 'radio' (24960 KB)...

I've been staring at sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... on my windows box for about 45 minutes now and am starting to get worried. on my phone I am in fast boot, there is the progress bar which has moved a BIT.. but my concern is I've never had to wait this long and I'm starting to get worried if something has gone wrong.

What should I do? Will the battery eventually die even though it's connected to my PC?

I've flash in the past using the quick flash and it did take several minutes.. but never this long.. I'm over 50 minutes into this now..

I used Quick Flash Package: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5

Thanks in advance!

edit: it eventually ended.. check it out..

sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... OKAY [6703.350s]

writing 'radio'... OKAY [ 22.980s]

finished. total time: 6726.330s
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Wow, 6703.350 seconds just to send the radio !?!?

Something is VERY wrong, the Android USB driver or the so-called quick flash package itself...
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
Well, the quick flash package is just a cmd script that checks if the device is recognized by fastboot, reboot and then runs the fastboot flash radio radio.zip command. No dark magic involved :)

I think there could have been some USB cable or ADB driver issue...

TYPO: the script is actually sending the fastboot flash radio radio.img cmd, sry :p
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
A bad download of the quick flash package, maybe?
[Desire HD General] hisheeraz:
Just about to flash my dhd radio

Qusetion is

You don't have to back up your current radio, just download the zip file, which can be installed again with clockworkmod recovery later.

AHERE AM I GOING WRONG ?

I HAVE TRIED

THE ABOVE THREE TOOLS DONT SEEM TO WORK

ANY OTHER HELP/GIUDE ? PLEASE

THANKS
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Read the FAQ and requirements of my radio s-off tool. You must be using 1.32 based build. Get raidroid, link in FAQ.
[Desire HD General] preacher65:
What ROM are you using? You need to be on an early ROM version to get Radio S-Off, if you're on a 1.72 or 2.36 based ROM it won't work. From the Radio S-Off tool thread:
[Desire HD General] hisheeraz:
thanks guys, my phone build is 2.36.8 CL47853 RELEASE-KEYS

SO I GUESS I HAVE TO DOWNGRADE FIRST ?
[Desire HD General] preacher65:
Yes, I'm afraid so. It's worth taking the time to do it, though. Just make sure you read all the guides carefully before you start. :)

And it's better if you don't type in capital letters, people might think you're shouting. ;)

Hi all, quick question: HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5, shouldn´t there be a new radio out now the 2.36.405.8 build..
[Desire HD General] eliashadow:

Latest radio and WiFi

Hi there,

Have been using the latest radio 26.09.4.11_M2 together with appropriate RIL on Android Revolution GB 5.1.7, and I must say WiFi reception is really bad.

From same place in room I got -200 dB with or without the RIL and I even rebooted, cause I couldn't beleive my eyes.

After flashing back to 26.08.03.07_M_test, I got back to the familiar -76 dB.

Yep, same spot, same phone, same position. Not holding my hand over the antenna, nor was the cover misaligned. I checked everything.

So for me, it's back to the 26.08.03.07_M_test.

Anyone with similar experiences?

Regards,
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
To be honest if you read through this thread or search it, you will find that a lot of users are having a bad experience with the latest radio.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
This is due to the combination or ROM, RIL & Radio (possible even environmental factors).

I'm using MIUI 1.5.20, with the stock RIL bundled with it and the latest radio. No issues with wifi at all. Same range it's always had.
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
How did you got this values so I can test them, too.
[Desire HD General] igor.tonky:

[Desire HD General] naira1:

sending radio was okey, but writing failed (Remote: not allowed) what am i doing wrong.
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
Can you post a screenshot to see your cmd with commands? ADB drivers installed?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Looks like you don't have Radio S-OFF. Have you used jkoljo's tool?
[Desire HD General] naira1:
that´s what i suspected so i followed the guide in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403 and now i succeeded in flashing a new radio. thanks to jkoljo

It's working great here too. Just using mDeeJay's latest ROM. Not flashed anything new or different.
[Desire HD General] COOLBGT:
Hi guys. Can somebody pls point me to a cwm flashable zip for the newest radio because I don't have access to pc and I wish to flash it via cwm. Thanks
[Desire HD General] stuart0001:
You can't flash radios with cwm
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Well, technically you can but it's dangerous.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Well you cannot since ClockworkMod does not support it in it's current form. (the support is broken)

And if you have read this forum, you would know that these devices work even with broken and corrupted radios. I have tested it myself.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Ok I need some help please! I was trying to flash a radio with the Android Flasher Tool (old version) I've done this a number of times without problems, but now the update process stall.. Om in the bootloader. fastboot usb mode... the green progress bar on the right is nearly full.. say 90%. I've waited for more than 10 mins. What should I do? I don't know if I could just reboot.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
The green part is upload, so your radio has not been touched yet. You can safely reboot. I would advice not to use Android Flasher or any other tool, just do it via command line. It is the safest option.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Thanx!

I guess you're right. I tried again with the command line and no probs! Sigh of relief...

A quick question for all you radio experts -

I'm running 12.39a.60.19P_26.06.30_M on my Inspire (same thing as Desire HD) here in the US and will be coming over to Europe later this month. I wanted to verify whether I can use this radio in Europe, or whether I should look at flashing a different one?

Thanks in advance!

That radio will be fine. I used to use that one myself. I live in northern Ireland.

Hi guys,

same sort of question. What are your thoughts of running:

[*] 4th January 2011: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF - HTC WWE 1.72.405.3 R2

Suggestions?

[Desire HD General] neo6776:
I'm using 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 with its proper RIL on RCMixHD Kingdom 1.0 and i can never get a lock on GPS. Just sits and searches for ages.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
I stand to be corrected, but to my knowledge it's better to use a 'G' RIL rather than a 'HM' RIL for AOSP ROMS.

I use the attached RIL, although on the MIUI ROM, I have no WIFI issues, nor any connectivity issues and I get GPS lock in about 5 seconds. If you're not sure of your RIL info, use the attached RIL info apk, it's a pretty cool app. I mean, it does what it says.

Edit: if you're flashing RIL's remember to mount /system in recovery before flashing the RIL or it won't flash.
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
MIUI is now using 099HM ril, dunno why
[Desire HD General] goofylad:
i was having problems like that!, try gently pushing the GPS receiver into the phone and holding it there to see if you get a lock then! i just replaced my gps recviever today and bang 8/8 lock within 5 seconds

also have you tried faster fix and using gps status to reset your AGPS data and redownload (after using faster fix)

if you need more help PM me :)
[Desire HD General] henrybravo:
Can someone please explain to me why several people in this and other threads over the last several months have been recommending the "G" RILs for GB ROMs instead of the "HM" series? From a date perspective, this recommendation doesn't always make sense. Here are the dates of all the "G" RILs:

HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G (Apr 23 2010)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0014G (Sep 24 2010)

HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G (July 16 2010)

HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G (Nov 2 2010)

The final build of GB wasn't officially released until December 2010, and no G RILs have been released since then. You would think if the G RILs were indeed the best for GB ROMs, we would have seen at least a few updated versions of them, but there have only been HM releases ever since GB came out:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0077HM (Jan 9 2011,23:35:33)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM (Jan 14 2011,14:56:03)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0098HM (Jan 27 2011,18:04:49)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM (Mar 18 2011,00:40:15)

And starting with 98HM they've all been pulled from GB ROMs.

[GINGERBREAD] HTC-RIL 2.2.0098HM (Jan 27 2011,18:04:49) (extracted from Desire Z Rom)

[GINGERBREAD] HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49) (extracted from Desire HD Rom)

[GINGERBREAD] HTC-RIL 2.2.0121HM (Mar 11 2011,13:26:30) (extracted from Desire S Rom)

[GINGERBREAD] HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM (Mar 18 2011,00:40:15) (extracted from Desire S Rom)

If anything, I would argue that G RILs are for Froyo and HM RILs are for GB.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Basically G RILs are for CM and MIUI, and HM RILs are for Sense.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Exactly right. ;)
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
But miui now comes with 099HM ril
[Desire HD General] MaximilianPs:
can i install the radio via RomManager too ? :)
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Its very risky so I wouldn't advise it, you can easily brick your phone. Just use fastboot to flash radios.
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
risky ?

i thought there was no way at all :P
[Desire HD General] henrybravo:
...and CM7 was recently updated with RIL 131HM. Prior to 131HM it came with 099HM since build 57 or something. Been getting great battery life on the HM's (Battery Monitor Widget shows -1 to -7 mA drain per minute in standby mode), quick GPS locks, etc. There is no need to recommend the 7+ month old "G" RIL's just because they are "G", that's all I'm trying to convey. It is much more important to match the RIL to the radio, not the RIL to the ROM.
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
So what are you guys using since base changed to gingerbread?

I'm back to Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 it gave me best results ever with Froyo Roms, especially with GPS.

I was on the new one (Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2) for some weeks and its pretty close in signal strength, but i have a feeling that it just drops the signal for no reason some times.

I've tested it inside the university building where connection isnt so good usually. I had it in my pocket, wanted to check sms took it out of my pocket and i had no signal at all. Then i put it on the table and signal came back after some seconds at 2-3 bars. Then when i checked some time later it was gone again...

I had this several times and it never happened with the radio mentioned above.

And yeah gps is clearly faster for me with 12.48.60... It also finds more satellites in general.

Cheers :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Would you mind sharing your RIL version please?
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Well, technically if the radio img is packed in a flashable zip, you can always reboot to recovery with rom manager and flash it that way.

[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Thanks, I think I might give it a go. I just flashed new radio today - details in my signature - I'll see how it performs over the next 2-3 days.

Btw I meant to ask what ROM you using?
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
As we discussed before, mate, it does not work that way because the support for flashing a radio in cwm is broken for DHD. So you should not say things like that.

I understand that you want to share your knowledge, but it is not good for the community if you share information that is not exactly true.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Well as far as I know mate... and believe me I have done it before. There is a cwm recovery version that does allow doing this. Problem is I cant remember which one it is.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
I've gotten the good battery life with MIUI + 099HM + matching radio + 2.1UE kernel.

I've now switched to the 1003G RIL to see how that performs.

BTW CM7 has now changed back to the 1003G RIL.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
HTC-RIL_2.2.1003G rules. Tried it with so many ROMs and configurations. Always got good results, which is more than I can say for HM RILs.

Can u share link for the 1003g ril?

Edit: Sorry, didn't see sigurd_LU posted it below :)
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Hey there!

What do u mean mount/system first? I thought we just flash RILs in CWM exactly the same as ROMs, Kernels etc. Right?

Thanks mate :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
There's an option in cwm to mount /system. If you don't do this when you flash a RIL then it won't work.

Edit: once you've selected mount /system then you flash as per normal from the SD card
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Bit off topic, quantumtraveler, but I noticed your sig that you use MIUI ROM (Rey's series), how is it? I tried it once (the other version) and found it bit laggy with stock kernel, maybe I didn't set it properly or something...
[Desire HD General] sigurd_LU:
The "problem" is, most ROM's have EXT4 format now, and the zip-file is for EXT3, so to make sure it actually flashes we have to mount /system prior to it. This can be done in CWM under "mounts and storage".

@all: I hope I explained it right, feel free to correct me! ;)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Sorry man, you're right!

I moved to Rey's after CM7 a few months back. Haven't looked back since. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I find it fast and excellent battery (although this is probably attributed to my current RIL/radio combo). I find the settings navigation a bit laggy at times, but otherwise no worries!
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Thank you very much sigurd and quantum :)

So do u guys think the 1003G RIL will work with the radio in my sig on a GB rom? I thought GB ROMs are better using HM RILs right?
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
It will work fine with GB roms mate, I'm using it on my Desire Z at the moment with a 2.3.4 rom and I have no issues.

I did also use the same RIL with my Desire HD and GB ROM (CM7) as well, everything was fine.

;)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Well, there'a a whole lotta confusion about which RIL for which ROM. There's plenty of info here: [RIL] Radio Interface Libraries
[Desire HD General] nenepyg:
Thank u both!
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Are u experiencing a good overall performance (batt life, mobile data, strong wifi signal) with the Radio/RIL combo u have on your sig mate?
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Battery life = yes; wifi signal = yes; data = yes; GPS = not sure yet, will test today. All round, for me, best RIL/radio combo I've used so far. I'm gonna stick with it for now.. ;)

I can post some sort of logs a bit later, at least for the battery usage, if you want..
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
I flashed this ril with the latest radio in my sig and i have no mobile data at all. Even though it's turned on, no g/3g icon appears in status bar... Maybe i'll try it with the unkown source radio that you are using and see how it goes mate. Thanks though :)

I'm about to flash the radio-RIL combo from your sig ;)
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
What rom are you using? If its a CM rom then you should flash the 2.2.1003G ril, if its a Sense rom then flash any of the HM rils.

;)

EDIT: I see you're using Coredroid, since that is a Sense based rom you should use HM rils.

Try this one:

Yeah thanks for helping man but with the G RIL I have no mobile data.

Tried the one sigurd posted and the one in your sig and neither one gives me mobile data. So I guess I'll stick with the HM RILs.

Thanks for trying to help though :)

EDIT: Just to clear one thing up.

I have to wipe dalvik after flashing a RIL or Radio right?
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Well the RIL you provided did not give me mobile data as well...

So I guess I'll have to stick with HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM atm.

Thanks for all your help geko and quantum :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Nope, don't need to wipe anything.. here's the steps to flash the RIL:

Reboot into recovery mode

mount /system

Flash RIL from SD card

Reboot

Advice

Right mate, well since you're on a Sense ROM I would recommend this one:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9319586/RIL/HTC-RIL_2.2.0099HM.zip (Extracted from a Desire HD ROM)

or you can try this one

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9319586/RIL/HTC-RIL_2.2.0079HM.zip (Extracted from a Desire HD ROM_Froyo)

See which one works best for you mate, since I barely used Sense ROMs when I had my HD I can't really give you much more details. I do remember though that HTC-RIL_2.2.0079HM worked well for me on a GB ROM.

;)

PS. No, you don't have to wipe Dalvik Cache after flashing Radio's or Ril's but it helps.

EDIT: Big thanks to ZikyHD for the RILs and the RIL check app.

Another way to check what RIL you have:-

Download Gscript, make new script and type:

su

getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

Save it, make sure you ticked SU. Then run it. It will tell you what RIL you are using.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Pretty sure it was ZikyHD ;) http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1237674
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Ask Rey what radio/RIL combo he uses for his custom ROM.

I think it's a pretty good combo.. I used it before and got great results.

In fact, only reason I changed is because I wanted to try a G RIL. Rey uses a HM RIL and one of the _M2 radios..
