*read it! it will delete your kernel, so make sure you make a backup before you do this.
Here's the link to get .92: http://adrynalyne.us/
*down a few posts
Looks like all you have to do is put it on the SD card reboot into hboot and it will install it for you.

Thank you so much I really appreciate you're help. I just did it and it worked thank you again!

How to downgrade radio?

Hey Guys,
Upgraded to the latest radio, S-OFF and installed CM6.
Internal speaker isn't working, so I need to revert back to a 1.00 radio but can't find instructions.
Appreciate some help. Thanks!

It'll be the same way you upgraded to the 2.15x radio, find the PB31IMG.zip file and flash in hboot.
I can't find the PB31IMG.zip file with the 1.00.
Do you know where I can locate that?

Thank you very much! I was looking for one of those hboots. Considering it's no longer necessary to have the ENG version for CM6 I want to have the latest version.

Sorry for the noob question but after I downloaded my phone can't find a program to open the file. Do I need to hook up my pc to the phone and open it with the pc? I'm just trying to figure out how to place the files on the root of my sd card so I can flash...right?
Thanks
Charles
Just place it on the root of your SD card, then power off and boot into Hboot by holding down volume down and pressing the power button. the phone will recognize the pc36img.zip file and ask you if you want to update. select yes, wait for it to complete. and then select yes when it asks you if you want to reboot.
How do you know which hboot the phone is running ? (I'm on CM)
what benefits does having a newer hboot give?
I still run eng 76.2000 and havent had any issues

I flashed to 2.10.0001 hboot today and my phone would not boot. I am running CM6 6.1.1. I was told that after flashing hboots you will have to reflash your kernel. This seems like very important info to know so I just wanted to throw it out there if anyone gets stuck in my boat. It's just a good idea in general to keep the current kernel you are using on your SD just in case. Hope this helps any issues
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I am not sure what I did but I have been on an old version of Amon recovery. I got the urge to update to newer version and also flashed clockwork thru Rom Manager...
I went to go into recovery to Flash ....as most addicts do...and I could not get past Hboot. THANK YOU......Tried every pc36img I could find to no avail until finding these.
Hboot .76....

First time user of CM7... a few questions.. help!

So I'm currently running Senseless revolution 2.0 ROM on my incredible. I'm looking to try out the CM7 nightlies and I looked in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916881 and it says "Third, make sure you have updated HBOOT (.92), radio images (2.15 series). The newer seem to be working much better." Are both of those necessary to use CM7? How would I go about doing this with my current rom installed? Would I simply put everything on the root of my SD card, boot into CWM, backup my current ROM, install HBOOT, the radio and then the ROM all at once? What would be the correct way of doing this exactly.... Thanks!

cm7 has worked for some without upgrading hboot or radio......but.......if you have any issues with things not working, the first thing that will be suggested is updating hboot and radio. you can flash the rom and see if works for you or not, then decide if you need to update hboot / radio. the links to get the latest of both hboot and radio are in the cm7 thread in the dev section. you need to to one at a time.....I would do hboot first......reboot and then update the radio, if needed.

ok so hboot and the raido update will install from boot loader and not recovery. if you are running revolution 2.0 Im pretty sure you have the updated radio. but to check go to settings -> about phone -> and it should tell you under " Baseband version"
for hboot. you will need to download it from here http://dougpiston.com/?p=44 then check the M5D sum because if this is corrupt then your phone will be toast.
follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9968133&postcount=6
let me know if this helped you
Thanks! I guess I already have Hboot .92 as it came with Senseless Revolution 2.0. I'm looking at the thread for the new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874355 but it doesn't say how to install it??
edit: nevermind, found it... thanks guys!

Same way you would hBOOT. Download the radio zip. Place it on the root of your SD card. Check the m5d sum. Astro file manager can do this for you. Then turn off the phone turn it on while holding volume down. And it should pick it up and ask you to update. But please make sure you check m5d. If the file is corrupt in any way and you try and flash it will brick the phone. And nandroid will not help.

Your problem can be that You still have S-on I think you need to be S-Off to be able to flash anything.. someone correct me if I'm wrong..
my recommendation would be use unrevoke to root your phone and get S-off...
Hope I help...

You are correct, S-ON is the issue, you need S-OFF. I helped another person with this, and S-ON was the issue.

That didn't work. Unrevoke couldn't re-root the phone saying the firmware was too new. Any other ideas???
Go here, to Unrevoked's website. Download the S-OFF zip (read instructions under Installation Instructions, everything is there), and there you go.
Thanks. It works perfectly.
No problem man, glad it worked for you!
