Flashing a new radio

Hi
I know this is a noob question but how do you flash a new radio to the htc desire, the reason I ask is because when I had a G1 I flashed plenty of radio's and roms and ended up bricking it one day because I was a bit dum one day, and I dont really want to brick my desire.
Ive seen the tutorial on here where u use macardo in windows but surely you would just flash the radio since there is no spl to worry about? is that right?

Download .zip from the Desire Android Developement Section (Desire stock radios), then boot into recovery and flash the .zip file - radio flash done.
Of course, if the file is a corrupted download (not finished most likely), it can brick your phone.
Always check the file, if it's correct before flashing.

The best way for me is to flash with fastboot commander (Can find it in the forums)

If you don't find it look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315

Thanks guys

You flashed an RUU to revert to Stock Gingerbread right? Stock Gingerbread requires the stock hboot, CM7r2 is not big enough to contain it. Hence the HTC logo and 4!. Go and flash hboot downgrader from AlphaRev and reflash RUU again. The 4! screen acts as fastboot so just fastboot flash from that screen.

[Q]Stuck at white htc screen

Hi there,
After unlocking my Desire HD with the official HTCdev bootloader unlock service I installed Clockwork 5.0.2.7111102. From here I installed SuperUser 2.3.6.3 and it seems I have root access.
Both through ROM Manager as manual through ClockWork I have tried to install several custom ROMs. I did wipe the user data beforehand etc. But after reboot every time it keeps hanging at the white HTC screen.
I havent made backup of previous version. My phone is stuck completly. I can do nothing but only new rom..
Can someone please help me with this issue? Many thanks!
Additional info:
S-On
HBoot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28.M
Android 2.3.5
HTC sence 3.0
Software 3.12.405.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10-9931a37e

When you unlock using the HTC dev method you have to flash the boot.img separately.
Take the boot.img of whatever rom you want and flash it by running
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
For future reference the correct method is
1)flash rom in recovery
2)boot back into hboot and flash roms boot.img
4ext recovery has a new option of flashing boot.img when son all in the same step.(make it similar process to soff devices

You need to switch to S-OFF in order for flashing to be successful. Use this then once you boot into Hboot and see S-off, then you can try to flash the rom...

HTC Desire -- can't go to Hboot

Hello! I have the strangest problem, and wondered if someone could help.
I received a present from a friend, a second-hand HTC Desire GSM, but it didn't have stock Android and was running on a custom ROM installed on the SDCard. I wanted to install CyanogenMod on the phone itself (not the SD Card) and tried to with the phone by reading up details online. This is my first time with an Android phone, and I'm not sure what I did, but now I'm unable to boot into Hboot recovery.
I think the problem began when I installed the file "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865" from a certain website, and ever since I can't seem to flash the phone with another RUU. Can someone please help me make the phone usable again? I'll post the details below based on what I could find as of recent:
AlphaRev Oxygen r2
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1882
M1CROP-831D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

You are SOFF.
Follow these steps in sequence
1. Get the stock hboot from alpharev.nl and flash it from fastboot
2. Get the 2.3 RUU from htcdev and run it from PC with phone connected with USB
3. Flash the 4ext recovery from fastboot.
4. Flash any custom rooted rom from recovery

Please stop telling people to flash stock hboot over every other custom hboot, cause most of the time thet will succed but eventualy someone will end up with hboot brick. It is recommended to flash downgrade hboot prior flashing any other.
In his case he doesn't need to run RUU, he is s-off so all he needs is a different hboot (oxygen has a lack of space on system partition), 4ext img from Jmcclue's thread that can both be flashed via fastboot and then a personal choice of rom.

I dont recall telling people to flash stock hboot before this. I had noticed that he has got a oxygen r2 hboot. It is perfectly safe to flash the alpharev stock hboot over this. I would only use the downgrader to remove write protection from my hboot so that when I run the RUU I get SON.
The OP also stated that he is not sure what he has done so I would run the 2.3 RUU just so that he can work from known territory.

hes S-OFF with no recovery and has CM rom on sdcard soo like nloooo says flash recovery and then he can flash the rom on sdcard after a full wipe (if it fits on Oxygen r2 hboot) or change hboots and flash new rom if he wants

If I've S-on I can't flash radio by fastboot, yes?

I think you can flash it if you are unlocking your device via htvdev or maybe aahk2 will fix it

With S-ON you can't flash a radio as your nand partition security is still on even with an unlocked bootloader. Try flashing a ruu to get to normal state and then re try what you were trying to do. Besides, do not use the Hack Kit but the new version AAHK2 to be found in the general section of the forum.

If you want to make it rooted, but s-on, flash clockworkmod recovery into your device by fastboot, then put your downloaded ROM.zip into main directory of sd card, and go to recovery do full wipe, dont forget to go advanced and wipe dalvik and battery status, then install from zip. Reboot after complete again into fastboot open cmd and dive to directory where you extracted boot.img from ROM.zip and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot reboot". If you need more help pm
