Help!

Followed the guide to the letter,

Put the radio flash tool on my desktop and popped the radio in there with it, I'm rooted with eng s off and radio s off CID reads 111111111 etc

I have a custom rom installed, coredroid (maybe that's it)

The radio flashing went smooth until it said Writing 'radio' and now it's just stopped, I'm hoping my phones not bricked as i would do my nut if it is.

Please help, i don't want to just switch it off and it's been like this for about half an hour now, no movement, no buttons work and i can't type on cmd either.

There is a red progress bar on the bootloader screen too, about a millimetre from the top of the progress bar, so close yet so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me so i pulled the battery, seems that it's booting up ok, the flash did not complete, going to try again. Dodgy stuff man,, well when it goes wrong anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Not come across this before strange for it to get that far what radio was was you trying to flash?

It seems it crashed near the end did you have any other programs open

Did you check the md5 before using the image make sure it wasn't a bad download or corrupted file ?

My other phone is an iPhone it makes a great coaster
[Desire HD Android Development] dlads:
Really sorry man, I didn't extract the radio.img file from the zip !! Silly me, (face palm) I'm so used to leaving these files in zip format (kernels and roms)

I assumed it would be a zip file, sorry if i overlooked it if it's mentioned in the guide, after i had removed the radio.img from the zip archive the installation was a breeze, sorry for flapping and thank you for your ridiculously fast response i appreciate it :)

Great tool for flashing a new radio, hopefully i'll get more than a day out of my phone now eh . :D
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It's not just the radio that helps its the Rom you use with it and the kernel I find a full leedroid set up great for battery life

after flashing radio using this post and rebooting device I keep getting error message saying "Touch Input has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close

That's not a radio issue mate the radio has nothing to do with touch input that's a possible Rom fault

Thank you!
[Desire HD Android Development] CB620:
ok i did the hack kit that unlocks my phone and gives me perm root. so can i flash the radio or do i still need to do the extra steps to take eng off. will this lock my phone and i cant use and what are the pros and cons. i just want to flash a new radio for better battery signal and reception. any help is appreciated, thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It says in the first post mate phone Must be rooted radio s-off and eng s-off otherwise you will not be able to flash the radio at all

What do you mean will it lock you phone? In what sense

Pros make your phone better than it is by releasing the potential of the phone

Cons if you not read enough and don't understand what your doing then you could brick your phone

My other phone is an iPhone it makes a great coaster but not to good as a hammer
[Desire HD Android Development] CB620:
i meant by lock as in will me messing with the eng off will it put the simlock off back on. or is that two diff processes and they dont affect each other.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
no mate it wont its different process i have simunlock radio s-off eng s-off and flashed back and forth through radios
[Desire HD Android Development] Rencx:
Thanks for guide, it was nice and easy.

I have just can't understand this:

MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE FLASHING RADIO

What if my phone is half charged when I flash radio? It will affect battery life or performance?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It's more just a safety thing

Many thanks

@ leith51. Thanks for you guide mate, i followed your link from danward's thread, i was having really bad trouble flashing a radio with his android flaser tool, but your guide worked first time.

Thanks again
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It is true that it says that in the first post, but that is not true that phone must be rooted or eng s-off.

With radio s-off only, Radios CAN be flashed without Eng (Engineering) S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
could you please provide a video to prove your statement!!!

as i believe your wrong if you dont have eng s-off you will get error remote failed as it has been proven time and time again and also states in the first post

oh and you need root to do anything !!!!!

Hello!

I get to the point where I typw in the cmd "adb reboot bootloader", I press enter and the message "adb server is out of date. killing..." and then "daemon started successfully" comes up. Is it safe to continue with the flashing from here? Or do I need to do something for the "adb server out of date" message first?

Also, does this message have anything to do with flashing a new ROM as I will be flashing a new ROM in the next few days..

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi there.

I am trying to flash a radio. All is well until i try to type fastboot flash radio.img. I get the following message:

Unknown Partition 'radio.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'radio.img'

I have radio s-off and eng bootloader with a cid of 111111

I have read through a few pages and did a search, but nothing.

Sorry if it a stupid question.

Any help appreciated:)

Edit: sorry, after reading the first post properly, i found the solution "fastboot flash radio radio.img" sorry for the pointless post

Edit 2: Works a treat, much better data connection with gingerbread rom now. Great work
[Desire HD Android Development] ivolol:
Same procedure, make sure you

A) have proper USB drivers installed so that fastboot will work

B) have the linux version of fastboot http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2

Put the radio.img in the same directory as fastboot

go to a terminal in that directory

check fastboot is working:

fastboot devices

should come up with a line saying you have your phone connected in fastboot mode

and then flash

fastboot flash radio radio.img

replace "radio.img" with whatever your radio file is called

question : i've previously flash ROMs before (leedroid, AR), but never flash radio. Already ENG s-off and radio s-off. If i wanna flash radio...

1. do i need to backup my stock radio? If so, how?

2. i'm on leedroid 2.2.3 now, do i need to flash leedroid (or any other ROM) again AFTER i flash radio?

thanks so much in advance. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
1 No you can't back up your radio just take note what it is the links on first post will have the radio link you want

2. No need to reflash the Rom just remember to give it a couple of days to settle down

Flash Issue

Hi !

I'm trying to flash Radio 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 on my DHD (Radio S-Off -> OK) but I'm stuck at the sending radio.img step ... a green bar starts to show on my device but at about the third of it it hangs ... waited for about 15 minutes and nothing happens ...

I'm still able to boot normally after unplugging USB so I started over again 4 times and stille the same result.

Is someone experiencing the same issue ?

I am on the Airtel network in Mumbai,India. This network has just gone 3G recently
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It could just be poor signal from your network mate I still lose 3g sometimes not a lot you can do about it to be honest. You could test all radios inculding flashing the rils to match and test for a week and keep the one that suits your network the best also have your sin card checked out it could be on its way out. The final option is where you put the sin card the plastic back is not that good but does have effect on signal strength so if its loose or not sat right your signal will drop out.

Hope something in all that helps

I have tested quite a few radios and almost all of them have caused this issue. Why does it work when I switch it to Gsm Only mode on that mode i will not get 3g.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It's because gsm is 2g and it pretty much will cover your whole country as it was the orginal network 3g is a higher network but less coverage in some places. There is a lot of factors involved it really depends on the network your on how much coverage of 3g they have in your area if its poor your phone will automatically swap to gsm. Your can check how close your nearest network mast is and your 3g coverage if its poor you can cancel your contact due to failing to provide service you pay for, which would be the lack of 3g.

How do I check if i have both??
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No it does not mean your rooted mate if you click the links it will take you to the threads for more informaton

Quick guide

Visionary is root= able to access internal files

Radio s-off= as suggests makes phone able to flash custom roms and access other stuff(also helps to stop you bricking your phone)

Eng- s off required for flashing updated radios and other this in

All the above plus super cid will help you get your phone to pure stock

In order

1.root phone get perm root as everytime you reboot it stays

2. Get rom manager from market and run a back up of your rom

3 radio s-off

4 eng s-off

5 flash new radio if required

6 flash choice of rom

Hope that helped
