[Question] Flashing radio with ClockworkMod? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can a radio img be flashed with ClockworkMod on the Incredible?

No you can't do that.

Thank you, I knew the diff in the leaked radio ota couldn't, but I wasn't sure if it would be possible with a radio img.

[Q] HBOOT .93??? Is it Possible to Downgrade ?

I downloaded the 2.2 leak and it updated my hboot to 0.93.0000
is there a possible way to downgrade the hboot or even get a stock rom back on the evo?
Sorry.....not at the moment...hang tight buddy.....sucks
I made the same mistake. I have a gut feeling root is going to take awhile to appear.
should be in q&a section by the way...
I'm getting an EVO for my wife today....depending on the hboot rev she gets, I may work on this exact issue today. I'll keep you updated.

I'm in the same boat, my PRL is 1.34_003
currently no there is no way to change the hboot or root a 2,2 phone.
additionally please ask questions in the proper forum in the future(Q&A)
Thread moved to Q&A.
Just to clarify, I am fully rooted... Trying to find out if the 2.2 update opens a door to fix the 1.34 PRI issue.
You may not be completely hopeless. When the 1.47 OTA came out I downloaded and flashed a "rooted" version (it apparently wasn't because it broke my root and updated my Hboot to .93 also); however, it didn't get rid of Super User.
If you still have Super User on your phone, connect to adb shell, type "su" to enable super user and reflash the eng build. I would revert all the way back to the original stock and flash to 2.2 from there.
I'm not sure how effed you are, but maybe my stoke of bad/good/bad/good luck may help you out.
No pri change
i had the same problem. All i did was flash original radios and wimax update, then flashed a 2.1 stock rooted rom. RUU wont work and software updates wont install either. From here all you have to do is flash stock recovery image and then you should be able to do a software update on your evo and go back to stock.

Ivan, mind shedding a bit of light here and typing up a small tutorial of how you went about this step by step?

And thats what happens when you install a ROM that is not ROOTED... why you didn't just install avalaunch rom? he release his the same time HTC had the leak.

Enjoy!
I'm interested in trying other ROMs but I would like to be able to return to my current stock ROM if it doesn't work out. Currently I'm running a Bell ROM, but the version is more recent than this one.
Specificially, I'm running 1.34.666.5 with Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M.
Right now, both the firmware and the radio versions are newer than anything on the xda site. Would it be possible for you to obtain a newer RRU? I have checked both the Bell and HTC sites and couldn't find a download link for any RRU.
If it isn't possible, can I expect my phone to update to the current versions OTA if I give it this ROM?
Is it possible for extract the current radio ROM from my phone itself?
I apologize in advance if I'm asking these questions in the wrong place

if you permroot/s-off your phone. you can do a full backup using clockworkmod recovery. however, you do NOT want to flash official ruu's and such, if one is older then the one your on or from another brand, this will happen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
if you want to try this rom, it will have to be A.made into an update.zip rom w/hboot, radio, and recovery all REMOVED, or B. take just the system.img out of it and flash JUST the system.img in fastboot in bootloader (not the fast boot in sense). "fastboot flash system system.img"...you will then need to re-permroot, but skip all the s-off/hboot stuff, you will still be s-off.

Yeah, I need the Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M Extracted from your ROM too. Because I flashed the WWE ROM and I'm having signal issues, compared to my brother who is using that current Bell ROM. If I have to run the Bell ROM to fix this, I'd do that too, but I can't find 1.34.666.5 only the 1.34.666.1 that's listed in this post.
*EDIT*
So... I flashed this posted RUU "[RUU] RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2".
But found the kernel is different, so I couldn't S-OFF to get recovery back on. So... I had my brother S-OFF his phone and make a
Nandroid of his phone running 1.34.666.5. I then proceeded to flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed" back onto my phone, and then rooted, S-OFF, flashed clockwork" and then recovered using my brothers Nandroid backup. Then used clockwork to reset it back to factory. I then made a nandroid backup of that. So, I am posted a Nandroid Backup of
So if you flashed this, the steps are as follows to get back to the original Bell ROM.
1. Flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed"] ROM via multiupload.com /67NZB9NER1
2. Root
3. S-OFF
4. Install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager
5. Reboot into Clockwork
6. Recover using Bell HTC Desire/Vision 1.34.666.5 Nandroid Backup via my upload here multiupload.com /6SETLDCPJE
Hope that helps some people who are stuck!
PS To Flash the WWE ROM you might need a Gold Card, I used one.
I'd like a tutorial on how to extract just the radio from the WWE roms. If we could get them as .zip's, loading them with recovery would be very beneficial. I know that if you install a WWE update through HBOOT, you will lose your root and it will return your phone to s-off. Its a bit of a pain of having to go through the rerooting process every time.

I just wanted the radio to flash over my current ROM to see if there was any difference in network reception for us in the uk. But I got a new sim now which seems to be a lot better.
I'm sure your nandroid will be useful to others.

Ok, so now that I've unlocked my device using the new gfree method, and have true radio S-OFF and SuperCID, I believe that I could now flash any provider image and return to my backup or a stock provider image at any time. I'm right, er, right?

I am not 100% sure on this myself, but I think it should be ok now. Before the problem was that you could flash an older ROM, and it would first off flash the stock HBOOT over the previous eng HBOOT that was giving you S-OFF. So this would immediately put you back to S-ON. However, now with radio S-OFF you will stay at S-OFF in the flashing process, because the change is made in the radio configuration partition, which won't be touched by the flash.

ClockMod Recovery and Radio Recovery

No, Clockwork mod doesn't touch radios.
Doktaphex,
Thanks for replying Then we have to flash the radio back to stock radio, right? Is there any source of the stock radio (in the forum or other website)?
if u installed the radio recommended by the developer of the ROM u flashed maybe its better to keep as the developer may see its best for his ROM
Yes. You're right. I need to restore to stock radio because i want to revert my DHD to stock ROM2.2, that's why i need to find ROM2.2 stock radio.
When you run the 2.2 RUU a file called "rom.zip" will be created in your temp files. Find this, copy elsewhere and unzip. Find radio.img and flash that with fastboot.
Sidenote: when you restore using a RUU the radio will be restored too.

Help!!! Any way to downgrade radio from 2.15 to 2.05

First let me apologize if this has been answered before, but I could not find my specific question nor answer.
I am on baseband 2.15 and am trying to downgrade to 2.05. When I try to flash the radio in zip format, I get an error stating that my os is to new and that everything after 1.5 will not be able to flash this specific radio. This is not the same as downgrading from 2.15.x.x to a lower 2.15x.x. So please don't point me to this type of example.
Does anyone know, step by step, how to get this done?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: hboot 0.97
Radio 2.15.00.09.01
S-off
Rooted via unrevoked forever
Newer versions of the stock ROM may not work well or at all with older radios.
You may need to rollback to 2.2 to use the older 2.xx radios. 2.05.00.06.10 came out with the 2.2 froyo rollout. The newer gingersense ROMs probably can't be used with such an old radio.
Why do you need to roll back to 2.05 anyway?

Need to get my radio to a point where the nvm is writable.
Edit: update, got the radio to downgrade by using rom manager with clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7 and flashed radio update.zip
It was an amend error. An old version of Clockwork - as you did - or Amon Ra would be needed to flash it. Next time you flash radios (or anything that gives you that error) you'll either have to find an edify version or downgrade/switch recovery again.

Which radio were you running and which one are you running now? It all depends on how you root your device. If you unlock the bootloader, then nothing happens, but if you run the hack kit, you will have the lastest 2.3.3 radio, but as you would be S-OFF you can flash the radio you want back again.

Radios are never a must. You can use ARHD with the radio you have at the momento and the rom will run ok. Radios are suggested by the developers as they test or assess several radios in the process of developing the rom. However, you can still use the radio you have and probably will never experience any bug.
If you want to flash a new radio, you can always go back to the previous one as long as that file is to download. Check the radio threads to see how to flash a radio and always make sure that you check that the md5sum match.
If you need further help use the guide in my signature...
Nothing will happen to radio if you flash a stock ROM in recovery. The radio only changes if you manually flash one, or if you run an RUU. Radios are region specific and if your country uses less common frequency bands, then the one for your region will be the best. Latest is not best for radios.
