Thanks mate!!

I went with instinct and got them flashed.. Lol

So, i landed on 08.08 from evo...

Personally.. I like 0707 also.. But really, i can't tell any difference between them (coming from 0728).. Lol

Thanks for the quick response..

I think anytime one of us asks for more detail on the radios, they want more specific details, (almost as in the details only the creator of these radios could provide.. :))

Anyway, thanks again

Here's a good place to find all of them with MD5. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2890-radio-htc-incredible-radios-pb31imgzip-updated-07-sept-2011/

Miui.us & invisiblek kernel?? 07.07 Radio
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
In good service area you will see small improvements and weak areas is where you will notice. Also make sure you do *228 option 2. I found that the 07.07 was the best in low area at my parents home. I used the verizon coverage map and shows 1x data in that area. With the 07.07 I get 3G and 2 more bars.

Miui.us & invisiblek kernel?? 07.07 Radio
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Try it for yourself rather than relying on someone else's experience which would be inapplicable to your individual circumstances. Radio performance is extremely subjective.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
7.28 works fine here, but then again I've had it for some time now. Maybe I'll try 11.19, or 9.01. 06.11 didn't play pretty with my device. Oh well, time for a coin flip...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
So I dl'ed the 11.19 radio, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip and put it on the base of my sd card. But when I load hboot I get the following error message:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32. If it is and the zip is named correctly try another sd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
Almost makes me wonder if your file is actually named PB31IMG.zip.zip or something.

DInc/XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
Doh you beat me to it! Hah.

DInc/XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
Can I check how it's formatted and reformat it from within the phone?

Edit: Also, if I wipe my card will I lose clockworkmod/root/s-off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
Easiest way is to plug into a PC and do it. Root/soff/cwmod are on the phone not the sdcard so you wont have problems there. But if you have data om the sdcard def. Back it up first! Can you access the sdcard normally via cwmod or other apps? If so I don't think its likely to be formatted wrong... especially if you've used it before with no issues.

DInc/XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
Yes I can access the card normally, which is how I was able to move the radio zip from my downloads folder to my sd folder (it should be in the /sd folder not the /sd/root folder correct?).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
No root folder. Just in /sd
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
I dl'ed the 09.01 radio, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip and put it on the base of my sd card. I installed it and deleted it from my sdcard for the sake of saving space...now i get this message just before I am able to run hboot...kinda annoying:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Wow. Seriously? Look back one page of this thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
i know but this is post install of the new radio...when i had it on my sd card it would ask me to reinstall everytime i ran hboot, so i deleted it. now it just comes up as this before I am able to resume normal operations
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Ah. Well you will always see that in hboot. No way around it. Hboot automatically always checks for these zips.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
If you installed it and checked the radio in about phone and its right and working, why are you booting in hboot still? Just turn the phone on normally (ie not holding vol down) . When you boot into hboot it automatically searches for those images, its been doing that on my phone since I got it. Not anything abnormal.

DInc/XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
Darnit doug you did it again! I think I comment too slow... or maybe its because I booted into hboot just to double check mine did it since its been a while. ;)

DInc/XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
alright i was just checking...i forgot if it did that initially or not lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
any idea what the 11.19 radio brings to the table opposed to the 09.01 or the other radios?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
So it seems that my hboot can't locate my radio zip yet I can locate it in astro and cwm. So frustrated. :(

Edit: Is there an app that will allow me to compress on of my backups in my cwm folder so I can upload it to my dropbox and attempt to reformat my sdcard for the hell of it? My new 2.3 rom won't allow me to change from charge only to mount as drive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
are you running r2s gingerbread? you can mount your sd card threw gscript
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
Yes, will try that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
I was able to mount the sd and backup my backup using the scripts, but now everything I put on the sdcard doesn't show up in astro...it just says directory is empty with an 'error creating external cache' message.

Edit: Now my phone just rebooted and I cant get past the white htc incredible screen. omg.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
you have to unmount sd card using gscripts too!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
I did unmount it! I just got a random reboot and now I'm stuck at the white inc loading screen. Did I just brick my phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
did you make a backup before doing all of this? you can boot up in recovery and just restore your most recent backup
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
My backup is on my pc, and I have no way of getting it on my newly formatted sdcard now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph3k:
no you probably aren't bricked, you need to get that sd card plugged into your computer, put a ROM or backup on it, boot into hboot, go to recovery, install ROM/restore
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
That's what I figured, I'll go buy an sdcard reader.

Do you know what exactly I should format my sdcard as?

Also, if I decide to use my nandroid, what directory should I put it in (or create)? I simply have the folder (and contents) with the title of the date I made the nandroid.

Thanks for your help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
If I were you I would just buy a whole new card. Format it to fat32 from your computer, and put PB31IMG.zip on it along with a rom, no folders, just those two files. And pray. I fear if you keep using the same one it might crap out during the radio update, and that's very bad. You could go back to using it afterwards to see what the problem really is with it.

Is the hboot case sensitive?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph3k:
He has the right idea. I got my class 6 transcend from amazon for cheap w/ a reader. backup should be in clockworkmod/backup
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
Comparisons and Lessons Learned

I just wanted to say that from a speed test perspective 11.19 is on average giving me better speeds than 09.01. I know when I was reading this thread I was wondering what people thought so I though I would give my two sense on it.

Also, something that scared the piss out of me (also taught me a hell of a lesson):

1. Put 09.01 on my sdcard as stated

2. Turned off phone, and proceeded to hold down the volume down button and the power button

3. I felt 3 vibrates and the screen is black (this is where I nearly crap my pants)

4. Leave the phone on for an hour with the screen and all buttons not functioning(I know it is on because when plugging in USB the computer sees it and tries to install a driver)

5. After the hour passes I took out the battery

6. Turned the phone back on after putting the battery back in and THANK GOODNESS!! it works as normal :D

Root Cause / Lesson Learned: formatting the sdcard as FAT32 was CRUCIAL for me, and I would HIGHLY suggest that you fix this before attempting what I did and finding out the hard way. I had the SD card formated as FAT (the way it came from Verizon) instead of FAT32, not realizing there was a difference at first.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
Formatted it to fat332, gonna give it a go after I try and reinstall the rom.

My hboot is .77, not sure if that's case sensitive and/or it's too old. Then again don't you need to follow a similar process to flashing a radio to update it anyways?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Thanks for the new radio thread. Nice to have them all in one place again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Ok, so I was reading through this and I can't really find a summative description of what this will do. As in, do I need a Nandroid backup/app backup before doing this?

Sent from my HTC Incredible running Gingerbread (Evervolv a16)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
Always make a backup, and if your like me, have a spare SD card for just-in-case situations like what happened above. I've got one with only backups on it :) .

In a nutshell, updating one's radio can provide better signal and overall CPU response. In detail, its not fully known what exactly comes from this, hopefully not a brick though. :) . But, in any case, you can only experiment what's best for your phone.

Flashing anything through hboot (PB31IMG.zip) is untouchable by the recovery, though. Wish we could make backups of hboot, somehow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
I did it! Bought an sdcard reader, reformatted my card, put my nandroid on it, recovered my nandroid, reinstalled my rom, flashed the radio. Now my gps works!

The only slight issue I have now is that when I reboot either from hboot or recovery I get stuck on the white htc incredible screen, but can get it to boot by doing a battery pull. Still a little unnerving after my fiasco today. Thanks for everyone's help.

Is your name a Kid Cudi reference?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
I got .92 and everything's good on my end. S-off of course.

Flashing an hboot is way more nerve racking than a radio to me, but if either messes up, it all messes up, I guess. I'd rename the file EXACTLY as the green ' search error ' displays, for like a split second. In case and everything. Even if it were some weird a-- Transformers symbols, I'd figure out a way to compile a font just for that weird a-- A or J or whatever, and rename it accordingly.

But, thank God, the hboot only has the English keyboard.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
Kid Cudi is a reference to me... :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dynamic3:
I'm down for a story!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
No keyboard, on a phone or PC, can withstand that kind of abuse. Lol

Does flashing a radio wipe the data on my phone?

Sent from my HTC Incredible running Gingerbread (Evervolv a16)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
No it does not wipe any of the data as far as I can tell, but it is recommended that you do this anyway. I was able to flash it without wiping any data and did not have any problems, but I know that is not the recommended way to do things.

FYI: I just compared my boss's stock Evo to my INC and the radio 2.15.00.11.19 is what is included in the most recent evo OTA that they got.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Ok thanks! I'm at 53% battery right now, would it be advisable to try and flash a radio now? I'm also a few hours from home, where I spend 95% of my year, so should I wait until I get to my home location to test out a new radio? I'll start Nandroiding and making app backups now just in case.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdavis42:
From reading this thread I have seen mainly people attempting something they shouldn't. I couldn't imagine doing this with only a phone no computer. Some people can't wait a few hours to get home yet highly risk bricking their phone just to get a new radio image. Careless, I wish I had the balls to just do this stuff with no prior knowledge, it would have saved me from all the reading over the past two years about Android. I would never just D/L something and apply it from my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
I hope you feel really stupid right now. I didn't say I was going to do it from my phone, I was just ASKING if it was advisable to do so or if I should wait. I have all of the files already and all backups made, I was just wondering when I should apply the radio because I'm not currently in my home region, which would dictate what kind of day-to-day signal I'd get. Obviously, I should have asked someone like you for help before even looking at this stuff. I've been a member of XDA since September and have only really gotten active these past few weeks, but I've already gotten pretty knowledgeable (in my opinion, of course) on flashing ROMs, themes, other add-ons, etc. I figured I could try a radio, but since it was another new thing for me, I thought I'd ask around for advice. Clearly, I should wait until my 2-year membership anniversary before flashing a radio.

Sorry, it just bothers me when people get mad at other people for asking questions. I can't assume you'd rather me brick my phone and not ask than to ask and be safe(r), but that's just an assumption.

Edit: also, Astro. Astro solves 99% of DL-related endeavors from a phone. In my case, anyway.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
Quick word of advise if you are flashing the radio...make sure your sd is formatted to fat32...fat won't work and can cause some scary stuff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pHluid:
Posted it over in the EVO radio thread, but just a quick note for anybody coming into this one - If your GPS doesn't work immediately, don't freak out. It's common, in my experience.

I usually just open Maps and let it sit for a few minutes, close it, open Navigation, let it sit, disable and re-enable GPS, etc, just fiddle with it, and within a couple minutes it'll start to lock in. You probably don't even need to do this; it probably just takes a few minutes.

But don't flash it, open up Maps, wait 45 seconds for a lock, and then give up; it'll work eventually. Hopefully. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Lol I saw that, there were people over in the other radio thread FREAKING out over it. It's something that I still might consider doing, but I should check if my SD card is FAT32 - I think it is, last I checked, but I did buy a new 16 GB one so idk if it comes as FAT32 by default.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
About that post. He just went into qualcomm diag mode. No biggie pull battery and reboot to get out.

Yes, for Hboot to find the zip your sd card has to be formatted to fat32 but trying to flash a radio without it being fat32 will not cause and issue. Hboot just will not find the zip. It will not cause a brick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bryan949:
Okay, so I tried this. I downloaded 11.19. I checked MD5 sum. Put it into the base of my sd card (this is just inside the SD card but not in a folder, correct?), went into bootloader (says S-OFF didn't remember doing unrevoked forever when i rooted but I guess I did), and it says the image is wrong when it tries to read. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ridobe:
Did you rename it? Otherwise it sounds like you did it right.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Also, make sure your SD card is FAT32.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bryan949:
at first it was named PB31IMG1119, then after the first attempt I realized and corrected to PB31IMG
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
so i flashed the 09.01 radio with no problems.. i doubled checked my sd card for its fat state... all went well..

couple questions however..

when i went into hboot it loaded and error'd similar to

SD Checking

Loading...[PB31DIAG.zip]

No image!

SD Checking

Loading...[PB31DIAG.nbh]

No image!

SD Checking

Loading...[PB31IMG.zip]

No image!

SD Checking

i cant be certain how many lines error'd, or the exact filenames.. but it looks really similar to this. when the checking was done it found my zip, and the flash took less then a minute.. my question is: whats the deal with the errors??

part two, now that the radio is flashed can i delete it off my sdcard? if deleting it will cause a problem when i go to hboot next time i'll just leave it on the card.. it's only 9mb..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
Yes delete it, or it will ask you to update the radio every time you go into hboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Those aren't errors. It checks for those files each time you boot to HBOOT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
sounds good.. makes sense..

gotcha.. i just assumed they were errors.. what are these files its looking for?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph3k:
Please start posting in this thread instead of the old thread that is sadly to say worth nothing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Just flashed EVO radio 11/19, gonna see how it is. Booting up now, I assume it's gonna take a minute or two to get there...

Edit: At MIUI boot screen right now, hoping that it sets up okay. I did my reading, and I did everything I was supposed to do.

Edit2 (as I'm doing all this): Booted successfully. Will spend a few days assessing and get back to you guys (not that you necessarily CARE, lol, but I still figure since everyone's giving feedback that I could stand to as well).

Edit3: ****...uhh, it won't let me update my PRL. Doing *22899 and can't get an update. Now, what's interesting is that I still get signal. Is that because I don't NEED to update my signal? Or because something is messed up now? Phone still WORKS...just won't do PRL right now for some reason.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Think on MIUI its *228+
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Ok thanks! I just switched over to MyTouch beta v2 to see how that runs, but I'll remember that for MIUI!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
How do you know? I reformatted to fat (32, I thought) but now I'm worried. I had the same experience with that same radio. I want to swap for the 11.19 but... again, worried.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dylpickle05:
I downloaded the evo radio from the link that rentiger or whatever gave us and i got s-off but when i go into h-boot it doesnt find the file. I have it on the root of my sd card and have it renamed to EXACTLY PMB..... what ever it is. I dont know what to do????
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Rager:
Well, if its named 100% correctly. Then your SD card isn't formatted to fat32. That's the only other logical choice I suppose.

It is named PB31IMG.zip, correct? Any of the other names it searches for, it might not see in the SD card, I.e. PB31DIAG... etc..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vordhosbn:
just went from 07.28 to 09.01 because of wi-fi issues (wi-fi wouldn't stay on, kept resetting itself). so far w-fi seems fine, signal strength hasn't changed for me where i am.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmarcare:
is the newest hboot version .92?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dylpickle05:
Ok. I.flashed the radio and it worked fine and improved my battery life greatly. Then last nightbi powered off and charged it. When I booted up this morning..... I saw a great decrease in battery life and I didn't do anything. Has this happened to anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
You hook up your phone to your PC and put it into "disk drive" mode or however your phone labels it. Then in my computer right click on the SD card drive (make sure you are looking at the right one) and go to properties. Once that screen comes up you should see something that says "File system: FAT32" if it says FAT or NTFS then you need to format it to FAT32.

To do this copy everything from your SD to your PC (to backup everything), then back in my computer right click the SD card, go to format, then choose FAT32. THIS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR SD CARD!! that is why I told you to copy everything onto your PC first. Once the formatting is done simply copy and paste the SD card backup from your PC back onto your SD card.

Also, I did this with a micro SD to SD card converter outside of my phone to ensure I did not mess anything up, and I would recommend this method too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Thanks, that's exactly what I did just before rooting and I am FAT32. I really appreciate your detailed information, you're awesome! If I had the thank you button, I'd hit it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
You are certainly welcome.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
how is it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nevetsvsx:
I am using 11.19 with cm6.1 and invisiblek's #21 kernel and have never had a better phone experience!! My gps locks on in about 5 seconds flat (maybe even less), WiFi works great, 3g speeds doubled, and overall phone experience is very responsive, in fact it is the best responsiveness that i have seen with any combination that I have tried.

Also, a bonus is that my Pandora app no longs is "glitchy" and nearly crashing my phone.

I would definitely recommended 11.19!!! You can always go back to what you got now as long as it is offered on this thread as an option (I had 2.15.00.07.28 going into this so I wasn't worried about going back if needed)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 318sugarhill:
So, I've been reading (never posted here before) here and on androidcentral about the radio updates. I tried to install last night but got the same Image error in Hboot. The radio has NOT updated. I downloaded the file on my mac, moved it to SD card, powered on with volume down.......nothing. I've checked and I am FAT32, I'm POSITIVE the file name is correct. I'm completely stumped.

I refuse to download it directly to my phone. I've seen people get chided for that anyway. On my mac, the computer automatically opens the zip file to a folder. I have to compress it back to a zip before moving it to the SD card. Could this be the issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Probably. Compare the md5s. I download on my phone all the time, use Root Explorer to make sure it's named and placed right, and Hash Droid to verify md5.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Someone said the display and the radio use the most power, as far as battery. Wondering if the stock is more of a drain and 19 less or opposite?
