Hello everybody.

Edit: Nevermind. It seems that my adb google driver was not correctly installed anymore. After fixing this the flash worked as I remembered. But I still wonder why a sdcard flash rejected all the same not responding at all as a alternative method.

I have a question how to solve my current problem not able to flash a newer radio.

- Current radio 12.28.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

- Current rom Smartdroid Reloaded 1.6.1.1

I have ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF running h-boot 0.85 and it always has been this way since I made several radio flashes before through an adb fastboot connection or a pd98img.zip on the internal sdcard.

First when using an adb fastboot usb connection it sends the img file and closes with FAILED (Remote: not allowed). This is a first for me receiving this message.

Second when flashing Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M through a PD98IMG.zip the bootloader responded with a incompatible model id message.

Trying the previous Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M via the same method it loaded the radio and responded with a 'parsed' message and nothing more.

Until the current radio I have flashed several previous radio's and never had any problems at all.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for me to succeed?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
Hm, strange.

Try this file, that's what I flashed.

http://www.file-upload.net/download-4455167/PD98IMG.zip.html

If that doesn't help, update your bootloader to hboot_2.00.2728_110907

(download AAHK 12062012 from here, found in hboot directory) and flash via Bootloader, PD98IMG.zip method

and try again.

Hope I didn't confuse you too much :)
[Desire HD General] Whirlinurd:
The latest radio is flashed now. I only had some trouble with the adb google driver install package from the adb resource kit. I could not let windows 7 install it through the device manager. The x64 driver inf file did not contain the correct information to install in a Windows 7 x64 environment. After some simple google searches I found PdaNet and installed the driver through its setup and removed PdaNet after the install. Problem solved.

I do not see any link for the newer AAHK 12062012 in your message for download. I'll do some searches for it. Oops. It's the top sticky in the forum...

Dum di dum dum...

It worked without any hassle. Just a simple step update in the AAHK and it's version 2.00. I will see if another radio will update on the sdcard if I decide to try another one. Hboot 0.85 did also have fastboot usb radio install but probably only with gingerbread roms and Hboot 2.00 is compatable with Sense 3.x roms. It just was too old...

Thanks.

Try these:

1. Wipe cache

2. Wipe delvik-cache

3. Wipe battery status

You can also try to find the application which are taking most of CPU and try cleaning cache for that application. If nothing help at all, better go to your old radio.

Please include network, rough location and period of observation when reviewing radios. Otherwise (for all you computer savvy out there who know the difference) we get data, not information.

Many, many thanks.

no sim card after flash RADIO+RIL

HI I have a big problem, I have software "Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6]" yesterday I have flash radio - 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M and RIL - RIL_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - (2.2.0201HM) and now my phone does not recognize sim card, when you turn on the phone I only have the option restart or shutdown. I tried to flash another RADIO and RIL but still the same.
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
You're not allowed to flash RILs on ICS ROMs because it breaks the connection.

Try reflashing your ROM without wiping.
[Desire HD General] 555frost555:

[Desire HD General] Grady22:
the last radio is 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11?

[Desire HD General] amresh:
Using since last 15 days and all looks fine so far.
[Desire HD General] aceman28:
I can confirm that this radio works best for me.
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
I can't flash the newest radio by bootloader.

(Radio_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M - Zip file md5: 7b877e653a21c6b5ef337c475b4e6490)

It comes to "Parsing" and then just skips.
[Desire HD General] Wolf:
That is because the file is not a "PD98IMG" file. Your phone will never recognize anything other than a "PD98IMG" type of file while you are in the boot loader. I have made a PD98IMG file containing the newest radio. You must rename this file by deleting everything after the IMG part of the name. In other words, the file name should be "PD98IMG", without the quotation marks of course. Put the file on your SD card, boot into Hboot, and your phone should recognize the file.

Disclaimer: Flashing radios involves some degree of risk. I take no responsibility whatsoever in the event that something goes wrong.

With that said, you should be fine. Good luck.

[Desire HD General] ayham-dj:
Check if you are radio s-off or try flashing with CMD :

- Make sure you have downloaded the HTC Fastboot Package, your device is plugged in, fully charged and the HTC Sync USB Drivers are correctly installed on your PC.

- Extract the radio.img file to the folder containing the fastboot executable the file AdbWinApi.dll may be also required and placed in this folder.

- Reboot your device into bootloader mode.

- Open the command prompt and browse to the fastboot folder.

- Type (without quotes) "fastboot flash radio radio.img".

- Wait until the send and write operations are completed (this may take a few minutes).

- Reboot your device.

ON your own risk ...
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
Thank you for this tutorial, I already renamed the file into PD98IMG.zip, that's why the bootloader tells me "Parsing...", otherwise it wouldn't do a thing.

But it just skips afterwards, it doesn't offer me to install the update.

I'm S-OFF and I have flashed some radios before via loader, it always worked, I just noticed that error.

I downloaded the radio from another thread here on the board and that worked, maybe someone else has that problem too.
[Desire HD General] Wolf:
The PD98IMG file I included has a script along side the radio image inside of the zipped file. The file you downloaded from this thread does not contain that script inside the zip file. The compression setting for a PD98IMG zip file also has to be set at "Store". You can rename any file to "PD98IMG", but without a script that tells the phone what to do with it, nothing will work.
[Desire HD General] ramkumar2000:
Hello everyone i just flashed the latest Radio_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M on my DHD, but what is RIL and what is the benefit in flashing new RIL and from where i can get the latest RIL, sorry for noob question, i am a newbie and dont know much about RADIOS.

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
The RIL is the library connecting your phone to your radio, as far as I understood.

You only need to flash a new RIL on Sense-ROMs, if you're using AOSP ROMs like IceCold Sandwich, JellyTime and synergye's AOSP 4.2.1 you don't need to think about that because the 'best' RIL is already included in your ROM.

If you flash another RIL, you will break your connection on AOSP ROMs.

So just don't ;)

Hi guys!!

I've a problem with this radio: Radio_12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09_M

I flashed it with Pac Man 19.3 rom installed, but this radio is not good for my device. The problem is that I can't flash no radio except the one I've already installed and I can't remove!

Also, there is a text file included on zip files:

" modelid: PD9810000 cidnum: HTC__001 cidnum: HTC__032 cidnum: HTC__Y13 cidnum: HTC__044 cidnum: HTC__621 cidnum: HTC__622

Why you guys changing the radio? Do you see any improvements? If its working well with current why to change it?

hello, DOO DOO and thank you for the link. I will delete this so not to clutter up post, but this is the only way to get ahold of you. I tried meassage but I do not have aol meassage. Do you have the MD5 on that radio? would like to verify before I use it. Thanks much.
[Desire HD General] :
I'm not familiar with radios or rils but its my understanding that rils are only to be flashed with sense based roms and even so,its an optional thing to do...my question about radios is can i power down, press the power and volume down to get into fast boot and flash a radio ? I don't have a computer at all...
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
You can download the file and rename it to

PD98IMG.zip

If you restart your phone into the bootloader, it will flash automatically (if zip file contains script information).
[Desire HD General] remix92:
i want to flash the newest radio.

but i don't understand the discription

1. Go to bootloader menu

2. Copy radio.img into folder where your fastboot.exe exists

3. Go to command prompt

4. Use command "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

5. Wait till process is finished and

6. Reboot your phone

i but the file in the ordner fastboot ( but there is no fastboot.exe file ??)

have i write the "fastboot flash radio radio.img" in the command on PC or with terminal Editor on my phone ?
[Desire HD General] zeeeee:
Where is the new ril? and what RIL u suggest for this radio ?

Thank U ;x
[Desire HD General] Wolf:
Here is the RIL file for the latest radio. Flash this zip file in recovery as you would a ROM or similar file. Before flashing the RIL file, mount System first, and then flash the file.

I have also included the radio file as a PD98IMG file. Delete everything in the file name after "PD98IMG" so that the name of the file is PD98IMG. Flash this file in HBoot.

http://www.mediafire.com/?k3hed1c9jxj5q00

Important: Do not flash the RIL file if you are using AOSP, AOKP, ICS, or JB roms. You will break your radio connection. The correct RIL for those types of roms is already included in the rom. Do not change it.
[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
(Q) about ril.. Do I absolutely need to flash a ril when I flash a radio or is it an optional thing to do? What's the benefits of flashing a ril with a compatible radio? Btw I'm using aokp jb 4.2.2
[Desire HD General] Gio_ital:
If you read this forum you will see that it was said several times. You don't need to install ril if you are running ics or jb. If you are running AOKP there's no need to flash ril, it's already installed on the rom
[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
The question I asked has not been answered to my knowledge and I'm not painstakingly about to go thru 200 or so pages to find an answer. I already knew that about rils but I have used getril on a cm based ROM b4 and the application told me my radio and ril did not match..all I wanted to know was the benefit of having a matching radio/ril and what happens to the original radio when I flash the new radio ? Can I nand backup my current rom than recover in recovery for my original radio ?
[Desire HD General] o2demonangel:
1. you only need to flash compatible RIL only when you are using sense rom with version GB only. For ICS and JB, dun have any compatibility issue regarding RIL since ROM maker already included it. So far as i know is no need to do so.

2. If you have flashed new radio, old radio will be replaced and no way to backup it up even nand backup. So think twice or get another radio to standby if flashing fail.

3. Flashing compatible RIL will double up the radio performance up to maximum. if flashed incompatible RIL, the radio still can operated, with poor performance only. but the getril app only applicable for gb only. i have tried on ICS ROM and at the end call, wifi and data doesn't works. reflash the ROM will solve it.

4. Do some research before ask will always added benefit for you to know more about your phone since you will always found something else that beyond what you can imagine. ;)

so read pal. is good for you as well :D
[Desire HD General] SpiritStealer:
First of all, thx for the file... i've been trying to make it my self for a while but didn't have the hole info on what does it takes to make it

and i was wondering if you may tell me how you did it cause i may be using it for a while "i have no ENG S-OFF, & planning not to get one" so please help me to find out what is usually needed to make such file... and thx in advanced :)
[Desire HD General] gage0727:
1. i would like some infomation please. is their a guide or some kind of how too, to get radio's and such... reason i ask this because I am finding it harder and harder to find radio's. People post rom's and the radio link is either dead or not their in the first place. I have been jumping back and forth between aokp and all other roms trying to find one that works.

2. You say the akop based rom's already have the ril in them. Do they have a list of rils for the a bunch of radio's and they just match up, or do you have to like sync them or something.

3. Another question sorry for so many, during a phone call, the people on the other end of the call hear an echo...would that have to do with the radio or not?? i did a little mod to my antenna, with copper strips on the back bottom cover. Gave me great signal, i cut them shorter and was told the echo was still their but hardly noticeable. I am thinking its the mod, but wanted someone who is an expert on the radio issue. I been flashing roms for a while now, but just started messing with radio's.

Thanks a bunch for any help with this and sorry for so many question..
[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
1....are you asking for instructions on how to fastboot flash a radio or asking for links to radios...if you want instructions view the stickies of the dhd/i4g development threads and you will find the associated radio threads..its actually quite easy doing it the bootloader method, just simply power down, press power button+volume down and it gets you into bootloader, it will automatically look for the pd98img.zip and flash it...

2. Cm/aokp/aosp ROMs by default already contain rils, sense based ROMs do not...some users on cm/aokp/aosp ROMs have flashed rils and came to find out data wasn't working so its my knowledge to not even flash a ril on a cm/aokp/aosp ROM.. Go to Google play store for an application called GetRil, it will automatically sync the ril with the associated fastboot flashed radio currently installed on your phone...

3. I'm no expert with radios but some xda users have talked about an echo with some radios but i haven't experienced such an echo with the ROM I'm using (see screenshot) BASEBAND=RADIO

P.S.- I'm a HTC Inspire 4g user, i just haven't flashed the inspiremod zip yet

Where does one find said G rils?

I used to get 11 satellites in 30-50 seconds. Flashed newest & went to 1 or 2 satellites in a min. and a half @ first, now non at all.

Found 26.14.04.28_M, wifi & signal both seemed to improve, BUT still 0 satellites locking.

I was trying to cut satellite lock time as others said stuff like 11 satellites in 5 sec.

I currently have ril 2.2.0018G. And am on Carbon 4.3.1 rom.

Please no mumbo jumbo about sense ROMs v. aopk/miui/cm. Yes I have read many pgs. & posts. Save your slapping hands w/ruler & post some "G" rils should the urge to be condescending arise.

I checked the md5 has of the zip and the radio.img adter downloading, both were correct.

Probably i've only S-OFF and not E-OFF. Is there a PD98IMG.zip for the latest radio or a guide to get E-OFF?
