As the Radio 32.54.00.32U... is causing many trouble, like dropped calls, no wifi etc. with my RCMixHD 3.0 ROM, i am trying to downgrade the radio to 32.49.00.32U, which seems to cause less trouble. But everytime I start the process I end up having the same Rom, probably due to a downgrade protection.
What can I do to get rid of 32.54??
Thank you very much!
Hi,
I was having the same problems. I was given this advice:
1) Full wipe
2) Re-install rom
3) Downgrade Radio to Rom's recommended.
Worked for me I'm using .44 (can't remember all of the numbers)
Thanks for your answer
I would really like to downgrade the radio, but I don't know how, as every time I do it (using Android Flasher on my s-off desire) and check the version after the restart in settings/software, I see that it is still 32.54....
1. You don't need to wipe when flashing a radio
2. Get the radio you wish to use here and flash it like you would a new ROM:

This time I tried to do it in Amon RA Recovery, as it didn't work with clockwork.. and it worked...
Thanks for your help!

I just spent the last two months in the hospital so please help me if you can...
Ive noticed for a long time that I havent been able to access GPS navigation with any Rom other then stock for the last year. Every once in a while I will load a rom and immediatly get massive amounts of FC's. Ive fixed permissions within recovery and manually had to clear dalvik/cache/battery stats to get certain roms to work and sometimes this doesnt help.
Yesterday after unsucessfully flashing CM7 RC1 for the 3rd time I went into my hboot and saw that I had .77 (i thought I had v.92). I also noticed that I had radio v1.00.03.04.06. Is this the correct radio?
So my question(s) is this:
1) If I upgrade my hboot to .92 (btw I am already unrevoked forever) will It be like clearing all my data/etc?
2) will this fix my GPS?
3) after I flash the .92hboot (pb31img.zip im assuming?) will it also include the correct radio?
4) the process to flash the radio is to do it manually in recovery NOT go into Rom Manager correct?
GPS fail cause your radio is old and for CM7 you need the .92 hboot for the bigger boot partition. I have both on my site and you would flash both through hboot and not recovery. Have only one on your SD card at a time or you can waiit till I get home or someone else who is nice and package on up that contains both. Very simple to do.
That would be much appreciated Doug.
will flashing these cause s-off to...umm turn on?

Flashing a radio or HBOOT does not make you S-ON. Be sure to make sure your MD5 sum matches what the provided MD5 sum says.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
This has been helpful as I've had GPS inaccuracy issues on Warm TwoPointTwo and Incredibly Re-engineered. Can I check the Hboot version and radio version without going into Hboot? Wouldn't mind troubleshooting while waiting for a call but with my luck, I'll be in deep and miss the call.

HBOOT you have to boot into it to check. You can check your radio version by going to settings, about phone, software information. There is should be under "baseband version".

1. No, it will only update your HBOOT and you shouldn't lose anything. (provided the HBOOT file is valid)
2. HBOOT upgrading, probably not, but updating the radio should definitely help.
3. Radio & HBOOT updating are separate I believe, unless you are updating from an RUU.
4. Yes that is correct
Here are the radio's, make sure to update to either the 07.28 or the 09.01.

Right please forgive my noobishness (is this even a word?) but Im really worried about flashing my phone for the first time.
I have partitioned my card, titanium backed up and created a nandroid back up now all thats left is flashing.
Im planning to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
What I am worried about is bricking it without lack of knowledge of radio files and how to properly do it. Something about GSM and CDMA?
Plus I saw in the thread this: "Use either Amon RA or clockworkmod Recovery < also available via rom manager from the market"
Why do I need to use them?
Help please preferably with a step-to-step guide?
Thanks in advance.

Do I need to switch S-off?
Do I need to flash the radio files and what is the difference if I do or not?
Plus should I use ROM Manager to install the new ROM?
Wait just noticed my current baseband version is one you can download from the Leedroid site, so does that mean I dont have to flash a radio file?
you never MUST flash radios, it is only a possibility
my advice, since you are obviously new to this, dont change radio, i used the radio that came with the phone since december and it worked OK.
usually you should consider upgrading your radio if it doesnt work well e.g. bad reception, data or wifi problems etc.
when you are more confident with flashing, go S-OFF (which is super easy, seriously) and learn to use FASTBOOT which is the safest method of flashing radios or recoveries
Hi everyone,
I'm new at xda developers, and I recently started experimenting with rooting, custom ROMs, etc. I have a question about the RIL firmware drivers. Hope you guys can help me out.
Lately I've been following the progression of baadnewz's InsertCoin ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940), a Desire port of the Desire S ROM (with sense 2.1); you probably already know it. I want to give it a try, but - coming from CM7/prerooted stock roms - I noticed that baadnewz recommends upgrading the radio to the latest version, as well as the ril-firmware-drivers.
I understand the RIL is some kind of mediator between the ROM and the radio. Therefore, is it true that a specific RIL can only be used with a corresponding ROM (version), or has the ROM nothing to do with it? The reason I'm asking this question is because I want to make sure the newer radio+ril will still work in case I decide to return to my old stock ROM. And in general, is it ok to presume that a newer radio+ril will be at least as good as an older radio, regardless of the ROM installed? (I've never upgraded my radio btw)
Thank you!
RIL is not neccesary, use it if things dont work well, it may improve situation, but it is likely that you will have to experiment till you found one that works best for your phone & rom & radio.
RIL is stored in ROM part, so every time you change ROMs, RIL you flashed is gone.
also you do not need to upgrade your radio, do it only if stuff doesnt work fine after flashing a custom ROM.
you also mentiond coming back to stock rom - when you ran a RUU, it also flashes a RADIO and a RIL, so no worries there
every radio comes with its own RIL, but experience showed, that not necessairly they work well together when it comes do diffrent devices on diffrent networks and diffrent roms.
so - flash your rom, if it is ok that leave things be, if not - upgrade your radio, and then you can start flashing RILs
remmember to make NANDROID before flashing RIL and also that in order to flash RIL you must mount \system in recovery.
radio flashes are safest from fastboot if you are S-OFF, if not you can do them from recovery
Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it
I have one last question, just out of curiosity.. You mentioned that radio flashes are safest from fastboot. Why is that?
I'm still S-ON so I won't be able to use fastboot for flashing... Would you recommend S-OFFing to minimize the risk of bricking my phone, in case I decide to flash a new radio?
Thnx
well you can flash radio from recovery, lots of ppl do that without any problems. i never tried it myself.
i think fastboot method is safer since it doesnt involve rebooting your phone during the procedure but not sure how exactly is this safer, it just has been stated many times, that flashing radio fastboot method is SAFEST.
anyway going S-OFF (cd method i used) is super easy, just be sure not to have a2sd+ or data2xxx rom while doing that.
oh and apart from minor advantages like changing your splashscreen or the ability to delete apps from \system while booted up in android there is one BIG advantage - the option to use custom partion table. I am running InsertCoin v19 on CM7 hboot version, and is not only super fast but also it provides lots of space for apps
it definietly faster than insertcoin HD data2ext i used before going S-OFF
Hello,
I have Android 2.3.3 right now on my Desire HD and the following:
HBOOT 0.85.0024
RADIO 26.09.04.11_M2
Software number: 2.36.405.8
Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g0956377
Is this good enough to install a custom rom? (currently I have my sight set on LeeDroid) or must I downgrade? If so; is there a tutorial for it?
You don't need to downgrade, just check that your device's rooted and S-off (many tutorials around)
Check if your Radio is fine with the rom (though it includes its own radio)
But it seems fine.
If you really don't know and want to be sure, send a pm to Lee, he'll tell you all about his rom and if you can upgrate
(You'll probably have to wipe to ext4.
Well alright. I'm going to root it now etc.

ROMs do not include, normally, there own radios as amatter of course I would stick with your current radio and change it only if you have problems
I'm trying to temproot, but the screen just stays black. And once I press home, I can't get back into visionary+

Depending on your needs, it could be better to stick the the creator's rom and radio. It doesn't change that many things.
@impy101 : Your Kernel will be upgraded too but it's fine
Follow a tutorial and backup before doing anything ^^

The radio is HTCs not the rom creators and isn't flashed when installing a rom it must be done seperately
Well i'm trying to temproot, but eveytime the screen just goes black (I can still see the battery etc) and once I press home it goes back to the home android screen, but I can no longer start up visionary+
What do I do?
Personally I'd try rooting by hand, have a look at the instructions on the cyanogen wiki pages
If your device is not S-OFF yet, you can not root 2.36 with visionary. You have to downgrade to 1.32.

I did a little too much screwing around with my One V earlier today, and I'm honestly afraid that I've hard-bricked it at this point. I have middling experience when it comes to RUU installs and flashing/experimenting with new ROMs and kernels - but my last root/ROM flash attempt didn't go as planned. I'd installed the stock RUU earlier in the day in order to get the radio update (which, as I now realize, was more or less pointless as the new radio sounds like it's a pain to deal with), and had just finished unlocking and rooting the phone. I booted into TWRP to flash my favorite ROM, and I'm pretty sure this is where I messed up: rather than just wiping System, Cache, Dalvik, and Factory Resetting, I opted to wipe everything I could select in that menu. Please don't ask why (I was tired and out of it, and had planned on re-formatting my SD card at some point - it made sense at the time...) - I now realize how stupid this was, and I'm going out of my mind trying to fix it.
I thought it would be a simple matter of flashing the RUU file I currently have, but alas, I now have hboot 1.57 and the newest radio version - so I get an "hboot is older!" error when I attempt to install this older RUU. I can't locate an RUU based on hboot 1.57, and I'm not sure whether I'm just looking in the wrong places or interpreting RUU filenames incorrectly (perhaps certain RUUs would prove compatible despite incorporating a slightly downgraded hboot...?).
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated - if you need any more information from me in order to provide a solution, please let me know and I'll respond as quickly as I can.
EDIT: I have a CDMA One V.

Well i dont have a CDMA one v but i know that the RUU for hboot greater than v1.17 had not been released.. So the best method to recover stock ROM is using a stock ROM backup with the same hboot and radio version , if anyone bought a one v recently he should be on the latest hboot and radio version , you can get a stock backup from such a person or search on xda for such a backup..
There isn't a RUU for the Hboot 1.57 and the newest radio. Sorry to give the bad news. You will either have to use a nandroid backup or install one of the custom roms such as RhythmicRom, e3remeSense or myOneV. Good luck on your rooting journey!
Thanks. I ended up successfully installing Rhythmic, but I can't get x3reme Sense (my preferred ROM) to work, for some reason (which is sort of ironic - I know Rhythmic incorporates a fix to allow for compatibility, but I thought one of the OTA updates was supposed to prevent installing anything not based on Sense). Oh, well.
If you'll use this kernel, then x3reme Sense will boot. I tried it for a while, but for a sense based rom I prefer myOne. If you want to try it, Cyanprimo will boot and run fine with the RhythmicRom v1.2 kernel. That is my daily driver(at least for now).
