Try: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

And as you can see, it worked for affliction_emrah..
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
yeah that worked mate changing it to that but the problem is trying to make the guide universal over all op systems without the need to having to change things in files and so on like now it worked for one and not for my because of my op system so ive adjusted my guide on first post for opening command prompt see what you think let me know
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah that is ok :)

I think that the c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe will work on every windows system, I tried it on W7 64b, W7 32b and XP. We need some testers..
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I totally agree then we can use it as a full universal guide across all systems then just need to add one for Linux and its sorted

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] agheh:
Hai leith51, sorry this late thank you... your guide is superbly helpful for me to flash radio.... so many thanks for the guide... :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Nice one and your welcome

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Actually there is one problem, those adb.exe and fastboot.exe are for windows. So it is ok to add the c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe because it will also work for every windows version, but only for windows. I wrapped up a new one:
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Nice one will sort it in morning after work

[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
I got error message when trying to flash "error: device offline", wad should I do?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Uninstall htc sync re download from htc website install reconnect phone and try again

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
^ , and remember to enable USB Debugging.

Leith51: "FASTBOOT ON MENU>SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS> TURN FASTBOOT ON GREEN TICK IN BOX", actually that does not matter at all : )
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
you are missing "shell" in step 5
[Desire HD Android Development] aavan:
Just a quick question, I couldn't really find a clear answer :

I have the stock ROM (custom kernel though), never updated it OTA (still v. 1.32.405.6) , and well, I've customized it to my taste.

Do I have to update my ROM in order to use newer radio versions ?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Not missing its not needed

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No you don't but the latest radios were released with the 1.72 build try the .17 radio if it does not improve or work just flash back to the .15 radio

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Only put that in cause I had a problem flashing radio and my fastboot was off turned it on and it worked

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
I uninstalled and re-install but still same error message. wad can I do?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Give me step by step what you have done from start to finish including full detail of pc and phone

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Have you got you phone connected and set at charge only ?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
maybe you have different version of adb than mine. mine doesn't reboot without shell
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
i always had it off and radio flashing always worked for me. that checkbox is something that works like windows hibernate.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Adb is in the flash folder and htc sync is a global download so don't know how they can be different

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
yes I did.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Can you send a screen shot of what it says on your pc and on your phone when this happens please

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
Attached error message screen shot.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you have usb debugging enabled in your phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
yes it is on. wad's wrong with it?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
i didn't download your adb. i downloaded mine long ago that's y i'm saying it could be that we have different.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Have you synced your phone with the latest htc sync from htc ?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
If you have the latest htc sync and if you have downloaded the flash folder from post 1 then there is no need to type shell I've just used the guide to flash back to different radio and was done in 5 mins did it exactly as it says do don't understand why your the only one that has to type shell

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
yes, synced with latest htc sync. wad should I do?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
i have fully working adb so i didn't see the need to download yours. it never worked that way for me so i thought it might not work for some people too.if it's working for you all, let it be my bad and forget it.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Extract the zip file to your desktop

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] ref1ux:
Right, when I follow these steps and type 'adb reboot bootloader' it reboots the phone but never enters the boatloader, so I just end up back in Android again. Does the same on two PCs.

I've got HTC Sync installed and ENG S-OFF as well as root access and it does the same thing in the stock 1.32.405.6 as well as Cyan nightlies... any thoughts?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Have you got radio s-off ???

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
And could you take a screenshot of the command line commands you are using?
[Desire HD Android Development] ref1ux:
Ok, thanks guys.... just tried it for the 6th time and it worked! No idea what I did wrong but thanks anyway :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gboy:
help:error remote failed

hi everybody i got the message help failed remote not allowed
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you use the forum search? It is highly recommended. The problem is that you do not have ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] gboy:
well i have it already as i have cm6
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
in your bootloader screen what does it read on the top line

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] bucksbunny:
This means you do not have ENG S-OFF

Go to page 1, click on the link to the guides by Jkoljo and follow the instructions.

When done, run the steps in this guide by Leith51.

[Desire HD Android Development] gboy:
thank you for your help in the bootloader screen it says

thank you in advance fo your help
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:

[Desire HD Android Development] nm8:
Has anyone with Build 1.32.xxx.xx updated their radio only to the current version:

12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2 ?

What are your findings?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I updated mine before flashing leedroid 1.72 Rom didn't have any problems with connection but didn't try gps

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] nm8:
I might update mine but I need to find 26.3.2.26_M radio first in case I

need to go back. I dont want to wipe my settings with RUU to go back.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
There is links on the first post mate The heading radio links and the xmoo radio link has it just checked it also if you check the fourm for thread called the radio thread it has it aswell I will be dropping a link to that aswell as soon as I get chance

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] nm8:
LOL sorry I forgot its all in the first page, must be the whiskey
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You passing the drinks out lol

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
I still got the same error message.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
For the device to be offline either you do not have it connected to the pc/laptop or do not have usb debugging enabled or your computer never installed the device drivers to recognise the phone

It seems your something with linking your phone to your pc are you sure you have usb debugging turned on

Have you done a htc sync with your phone at all?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
How to install the device drivers?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
If you have htc sync and you have your phone plugged in it does it for you what Windows are you using

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
I am using vista.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
use this link and set 3 to unistall drivers also delete any folders zip files that you have already got from every folder you have put them in then start from the very top of the guide

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

i know this seems a little long winded but i feel its going to be needed as you have missed doing something i did ask you for step by step from start to finish and screen shots of your pc and phone as your doing it so i can try and work out where your going wrong
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
wad do I need to do?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
?????? To be honest I would give up trying I said to follow the guide in the link you do not seem to have the basic computer knowledge to be messing with your phone I would really advise you stick to ota updates there's a chance you could damage your phone

Your other option is send me your phone and I will do it for you

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
I got it done. Flashed radio successfully! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Nice one glad to hear it

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Sp4rr0w:
I've just flashed a new radio, and now i cant use phone calls or sms, data is working though. what have i done wrong? and can you point me in the right direction to fix it?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
What radio did you flash?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Sp4rr0w:
Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF - HTC WWE 1.72.405.3 R2 - its the reccomended download in the radio thread.

sorry for the delay have to wait before posting again , im using CM7 #12
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
The HTC WWE bit is the Rom its self try downloading the one from leedroids thread and flash that one

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Sp4rr0w:
still no luck - im going to try reflashing CM7 if that fails looks like ill try another rom. thanks for all your help
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
What kernel have you got?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Sp4rr0w:
i've tried several different roms/kernals and several radio versions. still nothing but the data works, must be something on t-mobiles end, going to phone them and see what they say
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Was it a branded phone I take it you used the goldcard you made ?

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Sp4rr0w:
im not quite sure what went wrong, but flashing a RUU, re-rooting and flashing radio and ROM fixed the problem.

Thank you for all your help and speedy replies leith, this is such a great guide - good luck with everything
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No problem mate glad your sorted

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Pard0ned:
Worked like a charm! Thanks very much mate!! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No problem

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] pokerhiih:
Worked like a charm....TY
[Desire HD Android Development] Router:
REMOTE: NOT ALLOWED

ok, I did go into fastboot usb, typed fastboot flash radio radio.img and got this:

localhost:~ Mac$ /fastboot/fastboot-mac flash radio /fastboot/radio.img

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

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

localhost:~ Mac$

what am i doing wrong? (no i will not switch to PC))
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Says in first post remote not allowed means you do not have eng s-off and what you mean you will not switch to pc this guide is for Windows not been tested on anything else just check you have radio s-off and eng s-off then try again

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Router:
its tested on my Mac - with Nexus One, Galaxy S and Tab

still in the blue:(

once plugged it says "fastboot usb", unplugged - just "fastboot". fwiw...
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Like I said you don't have eng s-off look at the top line you only have ship s-off which is radio s-off You need eng s-off go back to first post click the link to get eng s-off then flash radio

It does state all this in big red letters on first post mate that you must be rooted have radio s-off and engs-off

As soon as you get eng s-off mate it will fly through

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Router:
read it so many times that oversaw eng s-off. sorry for being stupid)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Your not stupid dude I did it myself than once before I realised where I went wrong it drove me nuts it took me a month to get this guide to how it is now with help from others of course and I found more uses for it as well like being able to flash a splash screen the same one but that's yet to come when I have more time

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Router:
great stuff, thanks a lot!
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
It's nice to know it works the same on MAC mate so I will add that

[Desire HD Android Development] goran60:
I probably become boring but no one has given a concrete answer. How to get simunlok?!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Go to DHD android development subforum, and use search function with term "simunlock". You will find this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 :)
[Desire HD Android Development] raymie87:
Why does I always get the error message "device offline" ? :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You do not have HTC Sync, or USB Debugging is not enabled in your phone. You could also try another USB port.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chivalryyyy:
is this something i need to type somewhere when typing the fastboot commands???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, that was for way old version of this guide, just follow the instructions :)
[Desire HD Android Development] raecarter82:
hi sorry for maybe a silly question but the radio is a .rar image should i extract it then move the radio.img to the flash folder?
[Desire HD Android Development] raecarter82:
Ignore my last done it finally after weeks great guide and.what a tool!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, you have to get radio.img file from the rar archive.

edit: ok, too slow : P
[Desire HD Android Development] ys222:
Advice

finally it works

BUT!

the explanation is good for experts, not for Novice :-)

my advice (if U have time), to make those instructions more detailed, meaning that you need to explain step by step what todo and where to do it, since the "Type" issue seems in the 8-9 lines refer to the phone and not to the PC terminal
[Desire HD Android Development] chrisjasper:
I get this when I try to flash the img:

error: cannot load 'radio.img'

Any ideas? I downloaded it from the file mirror at http://mirror.deluxe-stylez.de/index.php?dir=LeeDrOiD

Have tried radio.img file in androidsdk\tools and in the radio flash directory, same response each time
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
that error means you don't actually have radio.img in that directory.. did you extract the radio.img from the zip?
[Desire HD Android Development] chrisjasper:
Yep, the file is there, size is 24,832 kb
[Desire HD Android Development] chrisjasper:
Figured it out, when you run the Start Here.bat file it opens the command line in c:\windows\system32 where there obviously isnt a copy of radio.img. changing the path in the command line to c:\androidsdk\tools works.

Odd though as I have the android sdk in my path.
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
lol.. path will only search for executable fles such as .exe and .com in those path. it won't load up other files. if you type "fastboot flash radio radio.img" in C:\windows\system32 it will load fastboot.exe from your path but it will still try to look for radio.img in C:\windows\system32 unless you type the path to radio.img like "fastboot flash radio c:\androidsdk\tools\radio.img"
[Desire HD Android Development] chrisjasper:
Yeah, caught me out and I've been a sysadmin for 20 years.

Might be worth ammending the first post.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Sorry mate nothing to amend if you had followed the instructions in first post it wouldn't be a problem as to start with you don't need android sdk tools the zip folder has everything you need to flash radio

1. Download radio.img

2. Place radio img in the folder of zip file download from here

3. Double click start here

4. Type adb fastboot reboot

5. Once phone rebooted type fastboot flash radio radio.img

6. Wait for flash to finish type fastboot reboot

7. Finished

No need for sdk at all as the zip file has everything you need in it

Hundreds have used the guide and without a problem so no nothing to amend as the guide states tried and tested by many

hi guys. i m on miui ROM. can i flash d latest Radio? mine is indian Desire HD wit os version 1.32.720.5. can i flash this radio 26.04.02.17_M2?

pls help. my current radio version is 26.03.02.26_M.

i did eng s-off, super CID, radio s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You can flash any radio you want mate

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] sphuyal:
I can confirm that i flashed radio successfully reading the first post. I did not have SDK installed or anything. This guide works no need to amend anything...

Thank you so much for the guide btw..
[Desire HD Android Development] paarry:
thnks frnd. i flashed it sucessfully. but fastboot commands didn work. i had 2 do normal reboot. fast boot is disabled. hw 2 turn it on?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
eh? flashed successfully but fastboot commands didn't work? that doesn't make sense..
[Desire HD Android Development] sphuyal:
i m also thinking the same....
[Desire HD Android Development] Love_Velvet:
ive followed this guide but it gets stuck at sending. The green progress bar goes up maybe 1-2 steps at the most but doesn't go further. Is there something i can try to fix this?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Do you have radio s-off and eng s-off

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Love_Velvet:
Yes full radio s-off and Eng s-off
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Can you send picture of your screen please

Finding it hard not seeing what you could be doing different as I use the same method to flash splash screens aswell as radios and not failed once

I take it you have the zip folder and extracted on your desktop so you have the radio flash folder on the desktop and you downloaded the radio zip you want and unzipped to get the radio.img then moved it to the radio flash folder then double clicked on the start here and type adb reboot bootloader while phone was plugged in and set at charge only.

Then once phone was booted in to fastboot screen you typed fastboot flash radio radio.img

The flashing takes just under 30seconds

Also have you checked the download it could be a bad download

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] Peden:
SDK tools?

Does this require SDK tools on your computer? Maybe a stupid question, but I was just wondering how the command prompt will work if I don't have the SDK tools set up.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No it don't mate the files needed for fastboot or in the folder that's all you need

Title says it all mate tried and tested it works perfect if you use the guide as it says

E=Mc2
[Desire HD Android Development] sphuyal:
@leith51: can i use the zip file to flash splash screen? i was thinking i basically have to replace radio by splash??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes you can, use command

No worries now. I tried again this evening and it worked first time. Thanks for the reply though.

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
just checked your pic erm what you using cause that is not the folder whats attached to the first post also it clearly states on screen shot radio.img not found which means it not in the correct place i.e which the fastboot commands

try to use the tool provided its attached to the first post and follow the guide this guide is based on that folder not fastboot commander 1.0v
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Youtube video added to first post
[Desire HD Android Development] u892127:
I tested with your method and does not work, still standing in "sending radio"....

my fastboot is like yours, the same info, eng s-off

hboot 0 85 2007

microp 0438

radio 26 04 02 05_m2

emmb-boot

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
If the method does not work then you need to read back a few posts you will see that it does with the thank you posts and great guide posts and worked like a charm posts

Erm dude just go watch the YouTube video I did about an hour ago which proves the method works perfect

By the way have you got radio s-off without that the radio won't work also you need HTC sync preinstalled if your stuck on sending then your doing something wrong
