I had to do it this way because when i tried your way it said FAILED REMOTE NOT ALLOWED (which means you dont have eng s-off) but I do have Eng S-OFF. Any idea what could be wrong?

Also renaming it and using this guide won't work

[Desire HD Android Development] Desi130312:
Well Ive read the thread on how to get ENG S-OFF by jkoljo. The first step is to install Visionary, but when I clicked on that it took me to this thread http://android.modaco.com/topic/320350-19nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/ and said This application is no longer being updated and is only recommended for use on Froyo builds.I'm running 2.3.5. So can I still get ENG S-OFF? Please help, greatly appreciated.
[Desire HD Android Development] I'm TheQuest:
Hi Desi130312

Has you are already

Rooted

Just run the the EasyS-OFF tool again, making sure you check the

[Desire HD Android Development] Desi130312:
Thank you, will try :D but where can you find the box you check if I have radio S - OFF?Also, there's no need to downgrade or anything right? I'm running 2.3.5. Build number 3.65.something

both from the radio thread im on t-mobile uk using the second one use each one for a few days and and compare them then stick with wihich is best for you

dont forget to flash the rils for either one
[Desire HD Android Development] spikey68:
Lmao... If only I'd known it was so simple matey!

Flashed the first, cheers for the tut.. now to find the RIL.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Hi again Leith51

The links to the radios in the OP are dead. I looked around for the radios and the Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 i found here but when I flash it it reads on my device as Radio_12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2, with a "U" in. Will this cause issues? Also can't find the "U" ril here.

What do you think? Flash the ril for the none U version?
[Desire HD Android Development] Simpody:
Whenever I try to update using this method I have to try about 4 or 5 times before the radio is sent to handset. The sending always freezes at different points on the green bar. Dhd is s off and eng s off. Everything as a it should be. Just won't send first time time for some reason.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
what radio are you trying to flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] spikey68:
It might seem pointless in your mind but do the eng off every time. Should be fine and its a 2 min job. Mine seems to reset after various Rom flashes. My phone reads like its off but I always have to do again.

EDIT: Leith dude. Seeing good improvement man. N1. Almost halved my consumption on one radio. Connection time struggled in parts but like you said, its trial and error. Cheers dude.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Anytime mate
[Desire HD Android Development] MBT93:
i have eng s off written on the bootloader screen yet after sending the radio.img it always fails to write...what can i do now last time i installed a radio it was diff method where u put the radio on the sd card n the phone did the rest..=[

Just flashed a new radio as I have done before and everything went fine. But when I look in the menu "about phone" it says smalband version unknown and i don't have a dataconnection.

What went wrong here?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Which radio did you flash ????

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
This one:12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M

I believe the problems started when i flashed the corresponding RIL. But even flashing to an older radio (the one I had) didn't work.

btw: solved the problem by flashing my rom again (the ICS beta for Desire HD)
[Desire HD Android Development] zla.mas:
The HTC Ace is now rooted with S-OFF, the Engineering HBoot & the CWM Recovery.

Is this all I need to install Radio without any problems ? Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] spikey68:
Stitch dude. After every Rom u need RIL flash. Not usually other way. Cool though, it might play up more so if it does flash ril again and let it settle day or so.
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
Not sure if I understand you correctly, but I didn't do it the other way around:

- ron was already on my phone

- flashed new radio(rebooted and worked fine)

- flashed corresponding ril, that's when it went wrong if I remember correctly.

But anyway: problem solved and back to the radio I was using :)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
sounds like a bad download of the ril
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
does your bootloader screen show Eng s-off ?? if so do a back up of your rom first then follow the video
[Desire HD Android Development] zla.mas:
I done it, everything passed fine. Thank you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
not a problem
[Desire HD Android Development] CYRAXDroid:
So ? here is that I have S-off and when I went through the steps for flashing the radio at the end it said fail remote not allowed and I know in the OP it said you have to eng S-off which I do that what gets me any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
As in op remote not allowed means you do not have eng s-off go to your bootloader look at top of screen it will say pvt eng s-off please take pic of it

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] CYRAXDroid:
Well when I do boot into downloader it just says s off at the top I done this before and I don't recall having eng off but another member sent me a d/l link for the radio and I was able to flash...
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You only have ship s-off and from what I read since your on inspire its not advisable to do eng s-off as it can mess the phone up as the links in op are for a dhd

Glad you got it flashed though

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] CYRAXDroid:
Yeah thanks for that info.. I swore I done this before lol I guess you can loss track at times..

If I get another radio that's not already named.the pd98.zip is it as simple to just rename it?

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
That's easy to answer try using the correct forum for your device just googled your Rom and it shows its for the desire this is the desire hd thread as for the radio your trying to flash its for the desire hd I do believe

I suggest you you use the desire method to flash a radio not the desire hd forum also only use a radio what is made for your phone

Just because its a htc radio does not mean it will work on all htc devices

Flashing Radios...

I know its a noob question..

But what really tells the device to flash a radio Image...

the rom?

the hboot?

the phone?

whats the mechanics behind the flash?

anyone know?

I'm not having problems, but I've heard of stories of flashing radios, then all of a sudden they can't flash any radios... not even using fast boot...

there is so many different stories spread over the internet none of which explains whats really going on!

Thanks, 4 yo understanding

:cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
The radio is nothing to do with Rom phone or hboot its another form of software that controls signals to and from the phone like 2g/3g WiFi Bluetooth it works with the Rom to get the signal.

Yes you can flash via fastboot still and just like any method you can still cause your phone to be brick if you flash a radio from a different phone, I did test the theory of flashing a sensation radio to my dhd lucky enough no brick it just wouldn't boot went back into recovery and flashed a dhd radio and all was fine

Anything else just ask

If my DHD is shipped with GB, this procedure won't work for me.

Can I just name it p89img.Zip?

Or does that not work with radio?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No method will work on a phone that is not rooted or has s-off

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] Nagelzz:
Never really implied i wasn't s-off or rooted.

Asking if it works on a phone shipped with GB obviously means it was *shipped* with it.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Wots being shipped with gb got anything to do with radio? Totally confused wot your going on about

You ask about a method for which this thread is not about on an unclear post to it being ' shipped' with gb. Just because it was shipped with wot ever makes zero difference if you had post more clear and said it was s-off and rooted then it would have been a simple answer.........go to the other thread who does radios in that method

As for this way of flashing is not working for you I'm guessing your getting remote not allowed coming up which would mean you don't have eng s-off like it says in the first post of this thread

P.S I'm not s mind reader and it sat next to you I don't know what state you phone is in please be more clear when posting in future

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] sloanster:
Thanks, But

:confused:

Thanks for your reply...

But I've got all that...

What makes it so a legit radio file will not flash, either in Hboot or fastboot?

What is telling it(the Radio) to flash or not to flash?

Example:

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.007

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

HBOOT

(will not flash a valid radio)

next example:

FASTBOOTUSB

C:\>fastboot flash radio radio.img

sending 'radio' (24960 KB)...

OKAY [ 4.243s]

writing 'radio'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 4.243s

C:\>

this is the examples that inspired me to pose the question...
[Desire HD Android Development] Nagelzz:
Well seeing that DHD's shipped with GB have a different (or atleast does not work like froyo) bootloader, it's not possible to gain eng s-off without damaging the phone.

I never meant to be rude, I just thought you were aware of this seeing you had created this tool :)

**edit don't want to get into further discussions so removed this part :P
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I did not create it I originally wrote a guide when dhd first came out the tool was by a different dev to make it easier that's all as for dhd being shipped with gb it was possible to downgrade from gb to froyo its only since the latest Rom of 3.12 which is sense 3.0 when downgrading has become a problem plus when 3.12 at first you couldn't get s-off or root

So I am aware of the issue with sense 3.0 but there is nothing wrong with downgrading from gb

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
I see the radio it shows looks like froyo the one the dhd was first shipped with.

The top line is the key it shows ship s-off this should be eng s-off which eng s-off totally unlocks the phone which gives you pure fastboot access to radio flashing

With out it you get the remote not allowed as shown

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD Android Development] sloanster:
Yeah, thanks I believe i got it...

so The Hboot Program is what descides to flash or not to flash that is the question... heh heh:eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
No mate because you can still flash a radio without eng s-off via different method like I said radio is just another bit of software

Thx, only thing im missing are links for radios, ive got one of the forum and flashed it your way.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
You need latest HTC sync installed on your computer as this contain the adb drivers to know that your phoned plugged in

You must have both radio and eng s-off to flash radio the eng s-off allows you to flash radio the the other is a fail safe to make sure you can revert back if problems occur with your phone and it needs to go back to be fixed
[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
thanx!

but how i do eng s-off if i have root clockwork and orginial s-off?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Check the link in first post.... and what is original s-off???

Your bootloader it should read eng s-off and if you go in to system info it should read cid 1111111 if so your good to go

O
[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
original S-OFF is not ENG S-OFF.. i didnt find a better name :)

and what did you mean when u say "our bootloader it should read eng s-off"?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
The bootloader is the white screen when you turn your phone off and turn it back on holding the volume down button and power button at the same time from

Here you can access fastboot and system info

ohh.

thanx very mutch!

can someone pls help? thanks....

To many links make sure you only got 1 radio.img in the folder

Download the zip from the first post mate then follow the guide in the first post
[Desire HD Android Development] Aymoush:
I have carefully followed the steps mentioned in your guide. I have the same exactly like in the previous post of lieth51, however when i typed : fastboot flash radio radio.img

I got this: fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command

am stuck here SOS
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
im a little :confused: here now can you confirm you have eng s-off and radio s-off

you have extracted the zip file into program files and u have a folder in program files called radio flash ?

if you have got all that then you down load 1 radio you want to use extract it to your desktop then drag and drop it in to the radio flash folder

make sure your phone plugged in and set to charge only

once you have done that open a command prompt

type as follows

cd/

cd program files/radio flash/

type adb reboot bootloader

wait for your phone to go in to fastboot mode a white background screen with fastboot usb highlighted in red

then type

fastboot flash radio radio.img

wait for it to go through

then type

fastboot reboot

your phone will reboot

yeah... i only got 1 radio.img.... i double checked. Even i have another one... the computer will rename it...

Have you tried downloading the zip file attached to the first post and using the new guide set out? And have you got radio s-off
[Desire HD Android Development] Neurosis:
yup... infact i downloaded everything from the first post except the actual radio file from Leedriod's link... i first tried the instructions from the first post. same result, so i went thru the whole thread and see if i miss anything... then i came across the one saying to download some andriod developer file, so i went to do that again, and same result. I'm currently using LeeDroid's V1.2. Do i need to downgrade anything? Thanks for your help.
