[Q] Flashing Radio keeps rebooting Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have HTC desire, rooted, S-ON, running LeeDroid Froyo Rom.
I want to update it's radio from 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 to 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08, so that i can install gingerbread Rom, But
my phone keeps on rebooting itself after flashing it from recovery mode.
It goes to locksceen after boot & then again reboots itself.
In the fastboot screen it shows the latest radio version.
Is this something i'm missing or it need S-OFF to flash it.
Please Help.
Thanks

well as far as i know, flashing radio from recovery involves reboot so this is what should happen. so... um it worked maybe ? boot into android and check your radio version
or i think i didnt get you..
well if you cant boot up into android cause it just reboots then i dunno how to help you soz

what i mean is i can't boot into android after flashing new radio, it keeps on restarting itself again & again.

Try flashing the latest HTC Ril, maybe it gets fixed with that?

If you can get into recovery ok then you could either restore a nandriod backup, or just flash the original radio again?

Just a quick note... its not 100% necessary to update the radio if you want gingerbread you can flash gingerbread anyway

[Q] Stuck in fastboot screen

Not sure if this is a boot loop or not but I updated HBOOT to 0.92 and when i rebooted my phone it always goes into the FASTBOOT screen. I'm able to get to recovery screen but when I reboot I go back to the FASTBOOT screen and can't boot up my phone.
How do i fix this? Do i need to reflash 0.79 HBOOT? if so, does anyone have a link where i can grab it?
I think you have to reflash a rom or kernel since updating the radio wipes the kernel.
Is updating HBOOT and radio the same?

I only flashed HBOOT 0.92, is there a difference between HBOOT and radio?

I can get to recovery and i can try to flash a ROM to see if that fixes it i just didn't want to make things worst.
Looks like flashing a new ROM fixed the issue thanks everyone!

I know it's been fixed, but for future reference flashing HBOOT wipes the kernel which sends you into a boot loop. If you have one handy, you can just flash one. If not, flashing a ROM installs a kernel.

I was running arhd and have reflashed it to stock so i was thinking it should be fine but apparently not
i also would like to say if i reflash hboot to 1.31 wouldnt that mean i have to reboot into my software to reboot?
you cant reflash with hboot 1.28 to stock AFAIK, please confirm what you are trying to do and what files you have ready to flash.
And you dont need to be in the "software" to do anything with flashing.
Okay ill give it a go so i should be able to flash to 1.31 hboot as im on the correct CID
Then re-flash recovery then reflash rom? and that should thererfore fix my problem?
As i cant boot into recovery or rom only the hboot?
Okay help again please im up to 1.31 hboot reflashed everything ect went to install maximus10 and now it starts to boot up as i unlock it everything crashes so i have Android.process has stop working and much more like htc clock ect then it crashes and phone reboots any ideas?
OK, heres what you need: Warning, you will lose all user/appdata, your SD will remain untouched
files:
1- Maximus10.zip (or whatever rom you want)
2- boot.img ,extract it from the first file
3- custom recovery.img (must be latest)
4- unlocked and updated hboot to 1.31
5- fastboot/adb files (you can get it here if you don't have it already)
Steps:
1- get into bootloader, flash custom recovery AND boot.img
2- get into recovery, wipe system AND userdata/data AND cache
3- install zip of your ROM and don't flash the tweaks until you reboot once.
4- Reboot
Done that already its not booting still :/

Did you get any errors? At any point?
Edit : If you didn't get any errors that means either you didn't follow the process properly or the files you downloaded are corrupt.

[Q] Constantly rebooting after OTA update

Hi All, I had custom rom 10.1 on my htc one x. I could not use some apps because they dont support rooted devices. So I tried to recover my rom back I had a nandroid backup installed it via recovery. Everything was fine as long I did not install update from htc OTA 149 mb. I dont know what is that update about but now my phone is constantly rebooting and once is in home screen getting stuck and rebooting again. before that I checked my version of software was 1.29.206.11. After I checked it via fastboot cmd and showing me 3.17.206.24. Hboot 1.36.0000 showing in bootloader.
I have no idea whats the problem. Help pls
btw how is possible that i have 2 different soft numbers at same time ?
UPDATE: AFTER THE OTA UPDATE PHONE KEEP REBOOTING EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF. EVEN TURNING IT OFF VIA BOOTLOADER IS NOT HELPING. ANY HELP GUYS ??
Did you try and restore an ICS backup? This isn't possible if you've OTA'd to JB and don't have S-OFF. Also did you flash the boot.img from the backup and then 'fastboot erase cache' from bootloader?
Press Thanks if I helped!

Yes I have my ICS backup. I have done it and I am running on it. But the problem is when I will check for OTA updates there is one with 149mb download and istall it. After that my phone will boot normally then 10 sec will freeze and reboot and again again....
I am wondering why.. I flash boot from my backup, erase cache as well. I also tried to oem lock and stock recovery non of them is helping..
And also I dont understand how is possible when I go to setting showing me 1.29.206.11 soft version and when I will check via fastboot showing me 3.17.206.27..
UPDATE: AFTER THE OTA UPDATE PHONE KEEP REBOOTING EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF. EVEN TURNING IT OFF VIA BOOTLOADER IS NOT HELPING. ANY HELP GUYS ??
Did you revert back to the HTC original boot.img? Maybe after your update there is a problem with boot.img kernel...
And yes, its strange you see different versions of the software.
Can you factory clean everything and go for a custom Rom? After you have a hboot with 1.36 number you can use whatever jb Rom you want.
Use tutorials also to stop rebooting and rebooting. There is one in Android Development section- in stiky thread about roms and mods you can search for a bootloop problem.
Hope this will help you.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem exactly. I reverted to my original backup after running cyanogen 10.1 nightlies, runs fine as long as I don't OTA update. After the update the phone constantly reboots after getting to home screen and can't be powered off!

[Q] No Signal after Flashing CM10

Hi,
I'll try to be breif and to the point as much as possible.
I have upgraded to 4.2.2 using this ROM
However, my Hboot was at 0.95.0000, S-ON. I followed the instruction of the JBFWTOOL21 on youtube
So the ROM booted properly. But don't have any service. When I go to "About phone", my IMEI, baseband version and network are all "unknown". So I'm not sure what causing this issue.
I attempted to reflash my previous CM9 ROM, but it doesn't get in an infinite loading loop at boot.
I'm not quite sure what to do next.
Thx,
Gen
Have you still the same HBoot? You should upgrade your hboot if your cid allows it.
The new ROM‘s need Hboot 1.31 minimum

I went from HBoot 0.95.0000 to 1.33.0000.
My CID was HTC__621. The JBFWTOOL21 upgraded it during the process.

You flashed the corret boot.img or(it´s inside the zip)?
Fastboot>flash boot.img it>Recovery>flash ROM>Boot
But before you do that flash the newest TWRP 2.5
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/endeavoru/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-endeavoru.img
Fastboot.exe flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-endeavoru.img
Fastboot.ese erase cache
You can try to flash another ROM like SlimBean or something.
I had a similar process.
1. Flash ROM in recovery
2. Flash Gapps in recovery
3. Flash boot.img in fastboot
I just tried with SlimBean, but the radio state is still at Off. Here is the process that was done
1. Downloaded TWRP2.5 as you instructed
2. Download SlimBean 4.2.2 from their website
3. Flash TWRP2.5 using fastboot
4. Extracted SlimBean's boot.img from .zip
5. Flash boot.img using fastboot
6. Transfered ROM and Gapps
7. Flash ROM using recovery
8. Flash Gapps using recovery
9. Booted
Unfortunately, I still have no baseband and no network.
I have also access *#*#4636*#*# and set the network to "GSM auto". Didn't do anything
I have attempted with
CM9: cm_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-003
That also did not work. Since multiple CM10 ROM and 1 CM9 ROM failed, it's fair to conclude that the ROM version might not have anything to do with it. I'll try to change my approach and research about the radio and what can make the baseband screw up.
Alright, so I am feeling like the problem is because I flashed the wrong hboot. Now I'm trying to get 0.95.00 back onto it.

you can't get back older hboot....it should work all...did you really wiped completely ? factory reset, dalvik cache and cache? try also wipe system...and flash back if not try a custom kernel...repack it and flash it also the zip where the boot.img is inside...
Yep, I tried it again. After some more research, there are a few people that had the same symptoms. It appears that it is a hardware fault with the radio.
There are also other weird symptoms that happened even before I flashed Jelly Beans, such as battery draining, phone overheating, random system restart. That might support a hardware failure of some kind.
For now, I am using a HTC Desire as my backup phone. I'll do some more testing when I have time.

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

Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik?? Are you still able to boot in recovery?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
