how do i get ENG off to flash a radio?? :((
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Dude look for the link in the first post title says eng s-off you go to that page download the tool and follow those instructions the tool does it for you

[Desire HD Android Development] Pard0ned:
Hey man. I was just wondering if I could use this tool to flash the new clockworkmod recovery image.

Would be good if I could, cause then it saves me having to work out how to download, install and use the android sdk.

Cheers in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Not to sure mate I just downloaded Rom manager from market and installed using that the files in the folder are for fastboot only so you can use fastboot commands if you want to give it try feel free to do so and report back but its your choice and I take no responsibility if it breaks your phone

[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
Great tool thanks, helped me out a few times. Does i get problems with your radio flash folder method when i install the SDK ?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
i have sdk installed mate so no you dont
[Desire HD Android Development] empat:
Hello!

First of all, thank you for your work!

I would like to ask some help. I am trying to use your method for flashing a radio, but something is not working. I have radio s-off, and eng s-off, I am using Android Revolution HD rom. When I follow the steps you posted, this is what happens:

* First, it says "adb server is out of date. killing... daemon started sucessfully"

* After that , phone sucessfully enters in in bootloader mode,

* When I type fasboot flash radio.img, the answer is "unknown partition radio.img" and "error: cannot determine image filename for radio.img".

* Just to clarify, the radio.img is in the same folder as the radio flash files.

Sorry for the newbie question..and thanks again!

EDIT: I solved the problem using your you tube tutorial. I was writing only once the word "radio"..what an idiot!

Thanks once more!
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Lol no worries I just got your post and was about to say what you already found out lol so glad I did the youtube tut its come in real handy for all questions

CM7 + EasyS-OFF

yesterday I'v installed CM7 #38 and today flashed the radio.img from Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17.zip.

Now at fastboot it shows S-ON.

EasyS-OFF Tools tells me unsupported kernel. Any idea how to get S-OFF back? Visionary+ r14 method did not work. Curious is it seems like the DHD is still rooted.

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I can only suggest to try another thread regarding how to get s-off as flashing radio would not cause this so more than likely Rom related plus the radio you flashed is based on 1.72 build not 1.32

Also why have you removed imei you need it

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] emerson9:
after double left clicking " start here " in the flash zip.

typed in " adb reboot bootloader "

is says " error: device not found.

how do i solve this ?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
make sure you have adb drivers or htc sync installed

make sure usb debugging is "ON" on your phone

and connect in charge only mode.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Cheers descenpet but it does state all that in the first post to be honest lol

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] JRShield:
Great guide and program, worked like a charm!
[Desire HD Android Development] Nikola P.:
First disclaimer: I've tried to find answer to my problem by reading whole thread first :)

Just one clarification: I am on CM7, ENG S-OFF, but not Radio S-OFF.

Is it safe (or possibile) for me to flash new Radio? I want to go with recomended Radio for CM7 (26.04.02.17).

Reason is that I am asking is as far as I understood, to Radio S-OFF I have to downgrade first my ROM and kernel, and I think it is not that rivial to do so.
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
actually you can flash radio without radio s-off.. you just won't be able able to get radio s-off later on with the new radio, and if you really need to get it, you can still revert it.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Also radio s-off is the fail safe to make sure we can revert back even if we lose eng s-off its the only thing that will stay off you will have to turn it back on if required to send phone back

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
then again.. the only way you would lose eng s-off is flashing RUU.. which usually means sending in for warranty and you want default, s-on..
[Desire HD Android Development] Nikola P.:
OK, since I got my DHD from the "grey" market, not from my carrier on contract or from the retailer, so I have no warranty, I am OK with that.

BTW, when I say grey market, I don't mean stolen or something, but "imported" from foreign country.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
And some of the older custom roms or stock 1.72 will lose eng s-off

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
stolen or something would be black :eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
which custom rom includes h-boot? :confused: i have yet to see one.. at least the popular ones with good reputation don't.

and stock? like i said, the most common reason ppl flash stock is to get warranty repair, so why would they want to keep s-off?
[Desire HD Android Development] Nikola P.:
Well, if customs official finds bunch of DHDs on the bottom of the bag, legaly bought abroad but not reported to him, he would consider them black as a black hole, not grey :D
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Send one over here lol

[Desire HD Android Development] buzjay:
After Installing Android REVOLUTION 2.0.15 which seem pretty nice, I try desesperately to flash my Radio with this tool.

the problem is that when Installing Visionnary R14 the temp root process does work anymore as my Rom (Revolution) is now 1.72 v which is incompatible with visionnary, so I can't do any more any temp root or s-radio off before flashing my radion. This when using fastboot give me an logical error "Not allowed"

What should I do ?

thx for the help

Buzz
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
radio s-off stays no matter what rom you flash. you don't need to do it again. and ARHD is already rooted.. you don't need visionary or anything like that on custom roms.. i'm guessing you don't have eng s-off.. make sure you have met all requirements in the guide..
[Desire HD Android Development] buzjay:
Ok but when using temproot on visionary it stay looping on the logo indefinitely ?

and when flashing the radio with fastboot it return me an error , I think I have correctly followed the guide...

:confused::o
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
you simply don't need visionary on custom roms like i said.. it just won't do anything for you.. why are you even trying running it on ARHD?

did you check all the requirements before starting to follow the guide? if you are getting something like not allowed, most likely you don't have eng s-off, which is a requirement to flash radios.. radio s-off =/= eng s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] buzjay:
yes all the requirement are met...

To root the desire and instll new rom I had already done Eng S off and radio Off

The set cpu application work so it means everything is ok and off ?

I followed this guitde to check :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897512

When Bootloader is started,

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF ==== ENG-OFF OK ?

BUT I DON'T SEE CID 11111111111111111 which mean RADIO IS NOT OFF...

SO I guess something is wrong to accept radio flash...

HELP :confused:

thx
[Desire HD Android Development] kendong2:
are you ever gonna tell us what the error is you get when flashing radio with fastboot?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
What error ?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Cid can be found in system info of bootloader but you don't need it to flash radio its only for simunlock if you want to which in easy terms means open to all networks

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
SuperCID is not for simunlock, those are different things. Radio S-OFF is highly recommended to have when flashing radios.
[Desire HD Android Development] buzjay:
I have the classic message writing radio failed (Remote Not allowed)

So it means I'm not Eng-Off, what I do not understand as my app that need root permission works...

So This is why I need vizionary to work, but does work... like decribed before in the first post... Rounding against my Problem

Help & THX
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Dude as its been explained You Do Not Need visionary if you are running a custom Rom all visionary does is give you root access.... if you are running custom Rom the root access is already built in to the Rom so visionary is not needed any more

Hope that clears that up now

If in bootloader at top screen reads ship s-off you are not eng s-off look in first post and click the link to eng s-off do that then and come back and flash radio

Now if eng s- off fails due to possible reason your running build 1.72 then you will need to downgrade ( search on how to do this) to 1.32.405.6 then you will require visionary to root then permanent root then radio s-off and supercid then eng s- off at this point you can flash new radio then install the Rom of your choice

Hope this helps

[Desire HD Android Development] Tones1971:
I have leedroid 2.2.2 installed, with the radio recommended by lee, which i installed without much problem.

However after switching networks i have been having signal problems. I am trying to try different radio versions with the phone, however i cannot now flash a radio getting the remote not allowed error. I have ship s-off at the top of bootloader screen.

Do i need to go back to a downgraded stock version to get eng s-off again? If i do, can i now do a nandroid backup (or any backup) and restore that after flashing new radio? Or will that restore the radio too? Sorry im a complete noob with Android and rooting.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You will have to downgrade to 1.32 if you do a backup up recovery first it will be ok to use after flashing radio the radio will stay

Remember when you downgrade you will lose root and have to do it again then do eng s-off and then reinstall Rom manger get recovery then flash radio then restore your back up
[Desire HD Android Development] Tones1971:
Thanks. I got a 1.32 ruu file to downgrade, but its not recognising my phone. Found another thread about how to get round that, im currently working my way through it.

Just a quick question. If i install radio and restore my back up, do i lose the eng s-off again preventing me from trying any other radio? Unless i downgrade etc again?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You shouldn't lose eng s-off installing a Rom to be honest I've been using leedroid from early versions and flashed back and forth radios without a problem so not sure how you lost it in the first place
[Desire HD Android Development] Tones1971:
Thanks. Hopefully after i get through it this time i wont lose it again!
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Good luck mate
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
any idea what this mean? never had a problem trying to flash a radio before

sending 'radio' (24832 KB) ... OKAY ( 4.120)

writing radio ... FAILED (status read failed(too many links))
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Will get back to you shortly on this one just running some tests
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
if it helps i am on coredroid 3.1.1 trying to flash the new orange radio. now i cant flash any other one either. still showing as eng s-off in bootloader but when i now boot I cant get a gps signal

cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
are you still using the zip file from the op on here if so delete the folder inculding all radios you have and re download the radio you want and the zip folder then make sure htc sync is not running drop the radio in the folder and try again
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
done and the same result except it failed on the write this time. needed a battery pull to reboot

do you think it might be the rom I am on and try a different rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
full wipe, installed leedroid and still the same result even using a ndifferent radio (M2 SF one) but after it has failed it shows in my system info so not sure what is going on
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
maybe downgrade back to 1.32.405.6 and start again or just a custom rom that is on 1.32.405.6 then try again
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
would that involve me doing all the s off and eng off steps too as still showing i have eng off on bootloader
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
it shouldnt with custom rom before doing so pm Jkoljo first he knows more than me we did have this problem early on in thread so i read back and nothing came back as a fix
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
have just dropped a PM. if needs be I will revert back to 1.32 tomorrow and try flash the radio from there.

Is it just a case of full wipe and then flashing the relevant zip in CWM?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I sent you a PM. It does not make any difference which ROM you are using. Full wipe and those kind of OS things will not solve your problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Cheers dude if you can let me know what the fix is I will put it in the op
[Desire HD Android Development] miniterror:
hello all

a small question

when you go to menu>settings>about the phone>network

you get a nice little screen with signal strength

with my previous readio i had -93dbm and 10 asu

now i get with the phone on exactly the same place -91dbm and 11 asu

now i am wondering what is better?

more or less asu?

i think the lower the dbm is its better?

if youre bank stands on debet -91 is better then -93:p

will this alsovaleu for signalstrength?

thanks for any answrs
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
we havent found a fix.

i have restored windows to a previous time when i was able to flash with no problems and still get the error.

when i tgets to bootloader it pushes it and the bar is green, then it says failed and a red bar climbs.

when i reboot the phone and look at the settings however it is telling me the new radio is on there.

is that accurate? how can it be on there if it failed?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Not suppose to say that question is everything working as it should ??? If so I wouldn't worry
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
everything seems to work, just not sure if the radio i want is on my phone. just confusing!

Hey Leith and everyone else.

My Bootloader screen says:

MICROP-0438

eMMC-Boot

Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02

When flashing the Radio I get...

Sending Radio... OKAY

Writing Radio... FAILED (Not Allowed)

I did have a 1.32 ROM, Upgraded to 1.32, changed the Radio, Upgraded again to 1.72 ROM and downgraded now back to 1.32 - Still this message.

I used the original one click S-Off tool when I installed the 1.32 custom rom, so I thought my phone could have the radio flashed.

I flashed what i thought was a newer radio, said it completed fine.

Then when I installed the new 1.72 based rom, it came up with that error message when I tried to flash the Radio again.

I ran the newer 2.2 Easy One Click tool - Completed successfully but still same error when flashing Radio.

Downgraded back to 1.32 - Used 2.2 S-Off, SuperCID, SimlOck again, succesfully - Still Error when flashing Radio.

Re-installed Drivers and HTC Sync - Still error when flashing.

Environment Variables path: Checked and was fine; even used just the SDK Tools path - Still Error when flashing.

At CMD, when I navigate to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools

and type - "ADB Devices" it says:

"List of Devices attached"

and then nothing but the directory path above.

All help appreciated.

[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
If your bootloader says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF, then you don't have eng hboot, which is needed for flashing the radio, as clearly stated in the guide as well.

No eng hboot = no fastboot commands = no flashing radio.
[Desire HD Android Development] Tapori_UK:
tmh - Yeah, but the links to achieving that are the EasyUnlock tools 0.5 and 2.2. (AFAIR)

Both of which I have used.

If I do need to use a different tool to get Eng Hboot then please could you link a guide?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403

Run that. When bootloader changes to ACE PVT ENG S-OFF, you are good to go.

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF means that easy radio tool worked just fine, no need to try to run it millions of times to get ENG S-OFF, it will not do it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Tapori_UK:
You legends!

So essentially what happened:

HTC arrived Dec - Used One click S-OFF - Upgraded to 1.32 Lee Droid.

Flashed some new Radio - Thats when I think the ENg S-Off Must have been reset or something.

I thought the 2.2 Easy Tool would do teh above again. - Thank you Leith , Tmh and of course jkoljo.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
this is the link in the first post on my guide
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
always flash the radio first prior to flashing a rom over the top of it once you have flashed the radio either out of the radio links or from leedroids first post(which im yet to link to ) then always check you still have eng s-off and radio off then flash choice of rom over the top going to add a few more details to the guide tonight
[Desire HD Android Development] Tapori_UK:
Yeah, terribly sorry. I clicked on it and saw I had already used that tool back in Dec.

Something must have changed, but when I saw the 2.2 tool, I thought that it was the updated version of the S-off one click tool.

Oh my fault for not saying; Your right, and I did update the radio specifically so I could flash LeedDroids 1.3 Rom afterwards.

Thanks - Yeah, last time I didn't check the Radio had been properly flashed and ENg-Boot was still off.

Brilliant Guide BTW.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
as long as the guide works means what i set out to do is right and that it will achieve what its meant to do which is flash a radio witout bricking your phone
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hey leith51, you could replace all steps from 1-11 with these:

OR steps 1-14 with these:

The adb reboot bootloader will take the device directly to fastboot :) And I can confirm that this method works also with non Sense roms.
[Desire HD Android Development] ringrover:
what is this zip file
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Magic!

A few exe and dll files, everything that is needed for fastboot.exe to work.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Cheers I will take a look when Im off work again in a few days the guide was based out to be as really simple instructions that even an idiot like me could follow lol but if the zip makes it even easier then I will revamp the guide.... is there a link to where to download from

From England with leedroid dhd techo!
[Desire HD Android Development] ringrover:
:eek::eek::eek:

how?????
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
If you not sure stick to the guide in the first post I wrote it for ppl who not to sure about flashing radio I've used the method 6 times and not failed once

From England with leedroid dhd techo!

Those are the same files I use in my tools. Found them by trial and error..

What radio you got
[Desire HD Android Development] equlizer:
can you flash a radio using clockwork 3.0.0.6 now?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No the radios need to made flashable its not a case of clockwork being updated
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
tried fashing the new orange m3 one. at least my phone tells me thats what im on!
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
If your gps and internet and calls work then I wouldn't worry all I can think of is its a computer fault
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
i just cant understand it. my other computer is a MacBook Pro so cant try it on there unless there is a mac version?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
if you look back through thread someone did do it through macbook
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
ie looked but no idea how it can be done on mac when needs htc sync installed which isnt a program that works on mac
[Desire HD Android Development] mydanny:
a) when flashing a radio, do i need to uncheck something like "fastboot" in systemsettings or simirlar stuff i had to do when doing radio and eng s-off (screen-off, usb enabled and more) ?

b) what about the sdk i read in here ? i dont see anything about it in the instructions. i got htc sync installed on pc. arhd 2.1 rom. i need the sdk or not ?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
all info in post one its been updated since sdk just doanload the zip and follow the guide
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
any more tips on how to get it working on a mac as I dont have htc sync on it. have checked through the thread and never been said how to work around this

cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I've never used a mac so couldn't tell you
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
