I am trying to flash the latest radio through Clockwork recovery. It goes through the motion but when I check my Baseband version nothing has changed. The radio is supposed to be flashable through CWM. Any tips??
Only way i was able to flash the new radio was through fastboot. If you have s-off, try that

I have tried fastboot and get a remote signature fail message... any idea why?
Try it again. It failed my first time too

use this Radio. In CW go to "flash zip" select the zip and flash. It works.
If you have s-on you can't flash radio through fastboot

I've successfully rooted the phone, can shell as su, loaded the esprimg successfully, but when attempting to load the update.zip from sdcard in android recovery I get the validation error. I've recopied the update.zip from the slideroot.zip also. This is second time I've restarted the entire rooting process; the first time it was bootlooping with any slideme rom so I wiped and flashed the stock rom back. The phone returned to stock settings successfully. Before the bootloop I was able to access Clockwork without loop.sh procedure. This time however, attempting to update the radio I can't get into clockwork. Other than using the loop.sh, anyone have any suggestions?

I assume you used the ESPRIMG image to go back to stock? You lost your recovery test keys, you need to redo the engineering image.
I should have specified... the esprimg I was referring to was that of the eng build. I have since been able to loop into clockwork mod and update the radio. Still no dice getting into clockwork straight from recovery like I should be able to.
Also, what function does the 'verify keys' option in clockwork have?

So I have the "HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed" Rom, and the new Toastmod Kernal 4.0.3 which works great except now I can't get into clockwork recovery.
Before I added the kernal I had the rom stated above and recovery worked fine. Now when I go to bootloader with the new kernal, and click recovery, my evo just reboots the bootloader.
Any suggestions?
I would try and flash Amon Ra. I think it has to be flashed from bootloader as a pc36.img, but I'm not positive.

Use Amon RA recovery. Clockwork sucks. There should be a link somewhere in the development forums. Just do a search for Amon RA.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Link is in my sig. Also, you can flash recovery with fastboot flash.
Thanks guys, I'm giving this a shot right now.
So the RA Recovery is on the root of the SD, but when I go into Fastboot or bootloader, I dont have an option to flash it. The only way I know how to flash is in recovery. However when I select recovery it just reboots the phone into hboot again.....
Guess I need a little more instruction, sorry.

You have to run fastboot on your PC after you go to fastboot on your phone, it is in the same place as ADB.

Ok, appreciate it. I'll have to read up on it.
Could I flash the stock kernal from the "Rom Manager" app, or would that not work?
Anybody in the Orlando area mind rooting my slide. I've been at this for at 5 hrs and still nothing!
I'm in Jacksonville... So not right now, haha.
Maybe we can troubleshoot, where do you get to?
I'm in orlando but I didn't use a PC to root my phone so I prob won't be able to help you if you're using a PC.

I see you already made your own thread, but you posted in at least two other threads before making your own, just make your own thread next time
You know that little voice that tells you to stop and think about what you are about to do....well I didn't 'listen. I have just enough experience to be dangerous....which is why I am writing this thread.
I have a rooted EVO. It was rooted with Unrevoked 3. I was using Clockwork and had flashed several ROMs. Most recently using CM7. I have Nandroid backups and all was well.
In a comedy of errors my original nandroid file was deleted so that I had no was of returning to the stock EVO ROM. I was trying to update CM7 so that i could use the GPS. To do thisI had to flash Sense based ROM so that I could use the MSD(??) and then reflash my CM7 and voila, your GPS works.
Well I couldn't get any new roms to work. I tried several and they all crashed. I then had the great idea to use RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to restore my EVO back to stock. Bad idea.
I now have a phone that boots straight into Fastboot. I can choose bootloader and get to the HBOOT screen. When I choose the recovery it looks like all is well. The phone goes into the white HTC screen but then goes to a Red Triangle/Exclamation Mark screen. I can get out of this screen by pressing the power button and vol up button. It goes to and Android system recovery screen.
My choices are
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have tried placing the PC36IMG.zip (downloaded from xda) file in the root directory. I get a signature verification failed if I try to install the update file from any other custom ROMs. Installation aborted.
All I want is to get my phone back.
I currently have HBOOT 0.79.0000 with S-OFF
Please help

Download a pc36img.zip of a recovery, such as among RA 2.3, then put a rom.zip on your card as well....load the recovery through bootloader and once you get into recovery flash your rom

You'll have to update all of your radios as well since you used an old RUU.

"So you're saying there is still a chance." Thanks guys. I'll get on this today.
Just a quick question. Do I need to rename these files to "update-'file name'.zip" ?
Boot into the bootloader, with the attached zip file exactly as it is. Don't changed the name or extract it. Once in the bootloader, select yes to update, this is amon_ra 2.3 recovery. If you want clockwork recovery, let me know.
When I boot into the Boot Loader I get this:
HBOOT
SD Checking
Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Oh my GOSH! I finally got it! Thank you thank you thank you! I was using the wrong PC36img.zip file. Not really sure why there are several different versions of this...a newbie statement I'm sure.
The root script linked to in my sig can be used to update your phone if you wanted to use it for that, once it sees you have S-OFF it will skip all the rooting stuff and go straight to flashing the updated ROM radios and recovery. Afterward just use rom manager to flash clockwork and you'll be good to go.
edit: nm, just saw you got it

Hi everyone,
I flashed Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M on my Desire HD with ViperDHD 2.3.0 and experienced a high battery drain. So I decided to flash back 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - HTC 3.12.405.1 WWE but after flashing this radio, my phone was stuck in a bootloop, it got past the white HTC Screen but not after the boot animation.
So again I tried to go back to 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M but it is still not working, whtat do I do now?

Use android flasher .....very useful software you can flash easily through this SW...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Hey, thanks for your replies!
If I download a radio file from the page and rename it to PD98IMG, in bootscreen it is parsed but then nothing happens, I think you cannot install those radios like that...
I used the android flasher tool and flashes the latest radio...didn't work, it is still bootlooping
Any other ideas?
Thanks again for your help!!
As I suspected, I downloaded one of those zips and your right, you can't use those for PD98IMG.ZIP method as they are not correct or compleat, there are 2 files missing inside and I also belive the zip needs to be signed to flash new radio like that too.
Those zips only contain the radio.img file and can only be flashed in fastboot mode, from memory the command is
Fastboot flash radio radio.img
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I suspected that, too, and already flashed the radiofile using fastboot mode, and that was successfull, but my phone is still not booting

Yes, I am still able to boot into recovery. I wiped cache and dalvik and even restored system and boot from a backup but this didn't help either..
try this:http://www.4shared.com/zip/Q4NeZZpU/pd98img-dhd-radio_12656029_261.html
if not this radio just change the radio.img in the directory.
mine works well.
and when i searched at net i tried to flash via fastboot method it said failed
i searched and found that i had eng s-on(another security after normal s-off)
but the pd98img thing successfully flashed my radio.
maybe the radio ur downloading is compatible with ur device.
Tanks again for your help, but this is somehow not the problem. All the radios I flash are flashed successfully and yet it will not boot..there must be something else, that prevents correct booting process..

Ok, try flashing a RUU (that contains Radio among other partitions) Make sure that you wipe and format everything before the flashing and see what happens.
But flashing RUU will give me a stock room and I will loose my CMW-Recovery and I won't be able to fllash a custom rom, right?
[SOLVED]
Okay, thanks again everbody for your help. I just flashed another custom rom(KingCobraDHD) and everything is just working fine!
