1. no need to quote the whole post.

2. radio version is actually: 26.17.14.11_M (I forgot what 12.69.60.29 stands for, but it isn't the radio version, and different radios could have the same "what this is")

3. yes, this is the latest radio, there have been no newer versions
[Desire HD General] yopa:
can i use to use this method to flash the earlier version of Radio like this one?

1st December 2011: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - HTC 3.12.405.1 WWE

Radio.img MD5 Checksum: e186ba030925e836898b86d4369e77a3

thank you in advance..
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
if they are in PD98IMG format, yes, you can flash any radio like this, just need Radio S-OFF
[Desire HD General] capychimp:
your running windows or linux? i guess windows

then open command promt:

and cd androidsdk/tools/ (if fastboot files and radio.img is in that directory, type in the path to your directory)

then after type the: fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Yeap I am using Windows, may I am typing in the wrong path as I get the following message in CMD: "The system cannot find the path specified"

My radio is located here: C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\tools
[Desire HD General] capychimp:
In cmd type:

Cd.. until it is blinking at c:/

Then type cd program files\Android\sdk\tools

So when that's done then type: fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Okay I have reached your Step 13 but after typing in fastboot flash radio radio.img it just says Waiting for Device...

I've waited for about 10 minutes and it doesn't look like its going to work as it normally takes between 30-90 seconds...

Also, I typed in:

1. cd/

2. cd c:\androidsdk\tools

3. fastboot devices

But then nothing happened...didn't show any devices...
[Desire HD General] leith51:
1. Ok

2. Should be c:\ cd androidsdk/tools/

3 adb devices (while phone is in normal state turned on to charge only

Swyped from my leedroid v1.3a DhD via xda app
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Step 3 doesn't work for me...if I type the above, I get the following message:

C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
Wheres your sdk files stored?

Swyped from my leedroid v1.3a DhD via xda app
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
C:\androidsdk\tools
[Desire HD General] leith51:
ok right open command prompt it should show something like this

c:\users\name>

type cd/ press enter

next should show up

c:\>

type cd androidsdk/tools/ press enter

next to show up should be

c:\androidsdk\tools>

with you phone plugged in fully charged and set to charge only then type

adb devices press enter

it should read

list of devices attached

(HTserial number) device

then next prompt should come up with

c:\androidsdk\tools>

then follow rest of guide

just booted laptop up to test
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Thanks so far but still no joy..

You think there might be something wrong with my CMD? Once I load it comes up with "c:\users\name>"

then I typed "cd/" and pressed enter

But it still comes up with "c:\users\name>" and not as expected "c:\>"...
[Desire HD General] tmh:
Try "cd\" without the "'s instead. Both should work though.
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
It was all done without the ""

EDIT -

ok right open command prompt it should show something like this

c:\users\name>

type cd/ press enter

next should show up

c:\>

I now get c:\> once I typed in cd\
[Desire HD General] tmh:
Yes, but you typed cd/ and I suggested cd\ ;)
[Desire HD General] leith51:
try this

open start menu

right click computer

left click properties

look on left hand side for advanced system settings then left click

click continue

near bottom of that window left click environment variables

in the second table scroll down till you find PATH about 7th one down highlight it and click edit

you can copy all txt to put back in after if you choose but once you have delete all text in the box and type in

C:\androidsdk\tools

then go back in to command prompt and try again
[Desire HD General] leith51:
strange i type in cd/ and it works but hey so does cd\ ive just tried it lol :)
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Tried deleting the values of environmental and then trying CMD again...as soon as I try the command adb devices it doesnt like it...see below:

C:\>cd/

C:\>cd androidsdk/tools

C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
did you copy files from platform-tools and paste them back in tools folder

adb

adbwinapi

adbusbapi

is your phone plugged in and set on charge only ?

did you have htc sync pre installed?
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
I just recopied all of the files thats not in any folders into the tools folder.

I then tried adb devices

I didn't get an error this time, it just said the following:

C:\>cd androidsdk/tools

C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

C:\androidsdk\tools>

How do I double check my phone is in Charge only? I am using the Cynogen mod 6.1.2.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
do you have usb debugging enabled and im on leedroid normally when you plug in to computer you get option in notification bar you pull that down and it should read charge only ive not used cynogen so dont know the layout of it but should be the same way
[Desire HD General] yopa:
how do i know if its PD98IMG format? thank you!
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
most of the radios posted here which are in PD98IMG format are posted like: PD98IMG_<radio_name>.zip

and all you need to do is rename it to PD98IMG.zip and flash it

there is a radio thread dedicated to providing the radios in PD98IMG format, this one

it hasn't been maintained and I'm not sure if the links work
[Desire HD General] megamarco83:
hi, i'm in italy and i have radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M ....i don't understand 2 main topics:

1) what's is new in Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M ??? is an ufficial version, or not?

2) is that radio ok for my country?? you suggest to try it, on my desire HD or not?

thanks to all
[Desire HD General] mmicha3:
I need to flash RIL for 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M radio if I am using Sabsa Bliss v2.0 | 4.0.4 | Sense 3.6 ROM?
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
I would make a nandroid and test this, but that's me

my suggestion is to not try it since you are using ICS, and most RILs here are compatible until GB
[Desire HD General] mmicha3:
But I have RIL for 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M radio, this is not for ICS?

When I need to use it? only for sense 3/3.5?

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] mail2eswar:
I am having issues with GSM in my JellyTime ROM. My Signal never goes to zero but calls are getting missed. People getting not reachable message when they call me sometime. And my 3G data connection drops suddenly. This is not happening frequently but sometime its very annoying.

Someone suggested that it could be an issue with the radio and asked me to install the latest Radio 17.14.11_M. Unfortunately this doesn't fix my problem. I am a Desire HD owner from India. Can someone suggest me a radio for me?
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
ICS, JB, AOSP, AOKP have their own RILs (all ROMs come with the RIL in the ROM anyway), the ones presented in radio threads are only for up to GB

I am not sure with the latest radio, but in the beginning of ICS, all RILs here would break conectivity

thus my reasoning for testing on your own
[Desire HD General] mmicha3:
flashing ril make it worse.

thanks.
[Desire HD General] max-555:
Don't know exactly what's new there, but you can check it if you search here for this. I can suggest to flash it, as I already done. Better signal quality in whole Europe and better battery performance as earlier. If it's official or not it does not matter I guess mate. :rolleyes:

sent from my HTC
[Desire HD General] yopa:
hi, you said that most posted radios are formatted like : PD98IMG_<radio_name>.zip, but then the earlier radio file are only just :

Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.…zip and no PD98IMG stated like the latest radio Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M

so then i dont know what format it is:(

thank you very much
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
this thread was started with the radios archived for flashing via fastboot, the other thread I linked has the radios in PD98IMG format

read what I said again
[Desire HD General] montyjosh:
Hello there! As of 8-27-2012 I have been chosen to update this thread as Drakknar no longer

owns this device. Without further ado, here are the latest radios for Desire HD. I will

try my best and keep you up-to-date with everything that's going on with the scene.

HOW TO FLASH - Bootloader Method - Considered the Easiest

Requirements: S-OFF

- Download the radio file

- Rename it to PD98IMG.zip (this is important!)

- Move the file to your SD-card root (not in any folder)

- Download MD5 Checksum Checker: http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checker...-10410639.html

- Make sure that the MD5 provided with the download link matches with your downloaded file!

^ If not performed, you might risk bricking your device!

- If they match, you are ready to go! Power off your device.

- Hold the volume-down and powerbutton simultaneously

^ This will boot you into Fastboot/Bootloader

- You should see a screen with options

- Navigate to Bootloader (if not already in it) and press the powerbutton

- Wait for the flashing process to begin (it does automatically!).

- Reboot your phone and you are done!

is this way works on Htc Sensation ?
[Desire HD General] o4kareg:
you should use the filename PG58IMG.zip instead of PD98IMG.zip, and of course, use modules specified for your phone.
[Desire HD General] vvojtek:
NO QUESTION :) CHECKSUM is ok for radio.img file :)

Hi Guys

I'm little confused

1st December 2011: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - HTC 3.12.405.1 WWE

Radio.img MD5 Checksum: e186ba030925e836898b86d4369e77a3

MD5 is not good, checking off course on zip file but code do not match!

The same is also

28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5

Radio.img MD5 Checksum: 2dc4cfc01516d71c8d68ac2c5e2feda0
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
checksum is always given for the Radio.img file inside the archive, not for the archive, thus the statement "Radio.img MD5 Checksum"
[Desire HD General] vvojtek:
Thanks, I noticed this :)

But can You tell me what is an difference if is

Currently I have : 12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M previously I had 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M, this radio has different letter on protocol section, what is mean this P or U ? ;)

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
this means that the file "build.prop" was modified to change what networks to use

U is for HSDPA/HSUPA

further reading here
[Desire HD General] vvojtek:
Thanks! :) Do You know where I can find this radio with U ?
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
just edit the "build.prop" file, it has nothing to do with radio, but how it is used by the operating system

/system/build.prop
[Desire HD General] vvojtek:
Thanks Again! :)
[Desire HD General] kenren:

Broken links

Hello,

Can anyone re-upload Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M, this is my actual radio and link is broken. I would like to have it to be able to put it back in case i have problems with the new one i want to set.

Or is there any way to back it up ?

Thanks :)

broken link

Quick Flash Package: Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M download link is broken
[Desire HD General] stevysg:
hi there,

and which is the better one? or are they practically the same?

i sent my desire hd in (2 weeks ago) for repairs and i got a new one which has the following radio installed:

12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_m
[Desire HD General] sandmann241:
you have to try on your own, it depends on your ROM, provider and other things..

atm i use 26.13.04.19_M with codefireX nightlies which is great, but had 26.14.04.28_M long time with BlackICE ROM which gave me best results...

i cannot say anything to the radio you mentioned(12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_m) but if anything with cell/wifi/gps works fine, thers no reason to change...

try the radios for a few days and you get the behavior for the right one ;)
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
I downloaded and flashed Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M. Now when I got to my Software Information it shows up as 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M.

Is this normal ? Where does the 'U' come from and what does it mean ?
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
hope they answer your question......
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
I downgraded my DHD radio from 26.17.14.11_M to 26.13.04.19_M by the method mentioned in the OP (download radio, rename to PD98IMG.zip and go to bootloader).

I have been trying to flash the 26.14.04.28_M the same way but in the bootloader it shows as shows up as loading, then parsing and then the process is over but the older radio is still there.

Anyone got an ideas how to solve this issue ?

PS: The radios were downloaded from the OP

What radio recommended for Australia
[Desire HD General] ALIEN_:
The ones in my sig work OK

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] angramenyu:
How do I go back to the stock radio my smartphone came with?
[Desire HD General] kore_sar:
I was testing several radio whole day today and have a very good result finally.

First of all: ROM - latest CM10 UNOFFICIAL, KERNEL - KangBang 1.7, Malaysian DHD being used in Optus Australia.

I found that since I moved to Australia the device started loosing connection (both 3G and WiFi) rather often. Is it 3G, or Optus, or hardware, or altogether - I don't know. I decided to give it a try and flash a different radio.

For two years I had the same radio - October 2010: Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M

Today I have tried following (in order or flashes):

1) Radio 14 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M because it was widely advised. Same 3G drops or even more often, but WiFi got better.

2) Radio 16 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09 because it's simply newer. More 3G drops for no reason, WiFi still good.

3) Radio 6 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 because I googled a guy who is successful with it on AU Optus. 3G not worked at all, WiFi was good.

4) Radio 17 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M because it's the newest. OMFG that one is stable as hell (at least for my device)!

I would recommend newest 26.17 radio for everyone who experience sporadic 3G (or HSDPA) line drops.
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
* How can I check if I am S-OFF and Radio S-OFF?

I have rooted with AAHK and that is all that I did in order to be able to flash ROMs.

My current Radio:

12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

Also, what is the latest radio for DHD, I don't get it, there are some in the OP:

1st December 2011: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - HTC 3.12.405.1 WWE

or

June 2012: 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09 - Unknown source

and later again in 2nd post "latest radios":

July 2012: Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M - AT&T Inspire 4G 3.20.502.52 (Latest)

Which is safer for me to flash? (I am in central Europe)

BTW in bootloader it says:

=========================

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.85.2425

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

eMMC-BOOT

Apr 12 2011,00:55:45

FASTBOOT

=========================

Am I able to flash radio?

Thanx

D.
[Desire HD General] Imonol:
I too rooted with AAHK, I have since been flashing several radios, you are radio-s off and good to go.

I personnel use the very latest radio from the second post.

I am in Denmark and have been using my phone widely across Europe...
[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
considering these posts:

I would say it's quite clear where the latest radios are posted, but, to be safe, it's the ones in the second post

Considering what your bootloader says, you are Engineering S-Off, and because you used AAHK you are also Radio S-Off

you can flash the radio with whichever method you seem more comfortable with (from computer - windows only AFAIK - or from device)

safe to flash, any time you flash you have a risk which nobody can completely remove, it's the nature of flashing

best radio, nobody can tell you, because they are device, network and user specific

for me, for instance, no radio does miracles since the network is poorly done and I have bad signals indoors no matter the radio

with 26.17 however, I get a little bit more signal out of the device (under 1%, but it is there)
[Desire HD General] Lanky09:
whats the difference between these radios?

what is the best to use?
[Desire HD General] ATZ-007:
What Radio are you using especially one in UK?

Reason I ask is because I get much better network signal and WiFi connection on my One X and G1 compare to DHD.
[Desire HD General] the_unlocker1997:
Anyone know a radio that works well in the califonia area or western US it will be my first time flashing a radio and plan on using the method where you change the name of the file then go to bootloader and it will auto flash this method Is said in op:)
[Desire HD General] rjand:
I'm using the radio in my signature, it's the latest one from post #2 in this thread.
[Desire HD General] sineld:
I have successfully updated my radio with the file in the second post.

Thanks alot.
[Desire HD General] galiato:
I'm using this Radio: 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M

.
[Desire HD General] ATZ-007:
Thanks guys

How is the network reception and WiFi connection?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
You're on the latest radio. Your other devices must just have better antennas (I know the GPS antenna in the Desire HD is poor).

For wi-fi, what channel is your access point set to, and what ROM are you on? The JellyBean ROM's may have problems on the lowest and highest channels.
[Desire HD General] Carter123:
Someone has the latest Radio (Quick flash package, Desire HD) for me? Link is down...
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Do you need to be eng s-off or is radio s-off enough when flashing through bootloader?
[Desire HD General] mushtafa:
I believe S-OFF is enough :thumbup:
[Desire HD General] max-555:
Hi dude

here is the link with the latest radio. (see my sig). But this is not a zip for flash. ;)

http://www.file-upload.net/download-6911804/PD98IMG_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M.zip.html
[Desire HD General] galiato:
My ROM is Viper DHD 1.2.1. ICS 4.0.4, sense 4,1

Whit this radio the wifi is stronger, didn't noticed difference in the GSM network and GPS antenna.

Not sure if is a radio issue - but the battery life seems to be worse since I change the radio.
[Desire HD General] Carter123:
Thanks... But i cant flash that via the bootloader because of broken volume rocker...:(
[Desire HD General] Insecret:
Use pc app Android Commander to controll allmost everything via usb, you can reboot, access adb, install and flash custom .img's ... give a try
[Desire HD General] butcha:
I havn't flashed a new radio in ages... So i have a few newbie questions, sorry :p

1) My device is currently Eng S-off, will that change when flashing a newer Radio?

2) Will it have any effect on my current ROM that i flash a new Radio?

Best Regards.

butcha
[Desire HD General] Carter123:
Thank you!
[Desire HD General] rjand:
1) It will remain S-off, in fact it has to be S-off to flash a new radio.

2) It may improve your wi-fi / cellular / GPS signal etc. a few users also report an improvement in battery life. I found that in call audio was better quality after upgrading the radio a while back.
[Desire HD General] butcha:
Sounds like it would only be a smart thing to get done then :P

EDIT: Done now, that was pretty painless :) thanks for your reply!
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Did you upgrade it trough bootloader? I'm guess I'm to afraid to upgrade my radio.
[Desire HD General] butcha:
Yes i did :)
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
You S-OFF or eng S-OFF?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
The radio has to be flashed through bootloader. It can't be done in recovery.
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Yes I know but do you need to be eng s-off or s-off enough?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
I think S-OFF is enough.
[Desire HD General] Travelawyer:
I am trying to update my DHD to the latest radio, but bootloader always says: "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!"

Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Have anyone tried radio 26.17.14.11_M in Sweden?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Are you using the radio from the second post in this thread, July 2012?

Did you check the md5sum?

Is your phone S-OFF?
[Desire HD General] Travelawyer:
Three times: Yes!

This is how it looks like:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4236711/2012-12-11 22.08.57.jpg

Update:

I flashed ENG S-Off now and everything worked like a charm.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Glad you got it working.
[Desire HD General] sadde:
Hi , ive rooted my device and im using Pacman rom on my inspire 4g. Will this get the radio back? sorry if my post seems noobish. thank you for your help.

how do i get my inspire 4g S-off?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Do you mean the app to listen to radio? Sorry but the app you are talking about will only work on Sense ROM's, download Spirit FM Radio from the Play Store if you want an FM tuner.

The radio in this thread is what your phone uses to connect to Wi-Fi, cellular and GPS networks.
[Desire HD General] sadde:
isnt there a zip which i can flash to get the FM tuner?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
No you need an FM tuner app. There is no FM tuner in Android as supplied by Google, i.e. AOSP. If you have a decent data / or Wi-Fi connection you could use something like Tune In Radio from the Play store and stream your radio station.
[Desire HD General] butcha:
I'm using it in Denmark, no problems :)
[Desire HD General] Atrax_:
Can someone explain me what exactly a Radio is? Do i need it for my 4.1.2 Android Rom? Which Version should i take?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
It allows your phone to work as a phone, allows mobile data / wi-fi connections and gps. It comes in 2 parts, the RIL part is part of the ROM for Android 4.1.2 so never install a RIL if you are using JellyBean. The other part is firmware and what this thread allows you change. You don't need to update it unless you are having problems with any of the things mentioned that it allows your phone to do.
[Desire HD General] jumparound246:
So i guess July 2012 is the latest radio?!
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Correct
