[Q] How to install a radio (HTC DESIRE rooted)

Hi all I wish everyone o good year!
Now how do I install a radio on my rooted htc desire? Just flash the zip?

I have just flashed the zip file from recovery, its done now ty

Glad you made it. Right procedure would be:
1. flash ROM
2. flash Radio
Whatever you do, don't pull out the battery while flashing the Radio, or you'll 99% brick your phone!

Reverting my Desire HD back to stock...

Been googling and searching XDA for a while now and I can't find a clear guide on how to do this halp!
I just want the latest stock ROM from HTC on it, was an upgrade from Virgin and wasn't branded before I rooted.
I tried flashing one of the WWE RRU via Clockwork but it just aborts after unpacking.
Also I flashed a new radio when I rooted would that be the problem?

try this downloading the RUU .exe from here - LINK (credit goes to andy!)
The latest would be the GingerBread version

The RUUs are official releases from HTC so why would they work via CWM? Just run the ruu...exe on your computer with the phone connected via usb. And come on, you really think you're the forst one wondering how to get back to stock??

Also checking the threads you used to get a custom rom might help, e.g.

Please stop filling this forum with multiple threads of the same subject.

I would recommend the .exe method as well, simple, straightforward and really quick! Would advise you to get ROM manager too to backup your rom if anything goes wrong

want to flash the latedt radio

take latest radio zip - afaik: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23.zip
flash zip via recovery, reboot
and then WAIT a moment!!
first time i thought my desire is dead - but wrong, radio update needs its time
you should not disturb the update process cause of bricking ;-)
normally no problem - but like always: no guarantee ^^

I'm not sure if it is good idea flashing radio through recovery if you are using custom hboot (if i'm not wrong acesmod has a CM7 hboot support). So if that's the case then you are certainly acquainted with fastboot (android SDK) so try flashing it through it, alternative options are fastboot commander or android flasher...

If you're S-off, there are 2 reasons why NOT to use recovery so far as I can see
1) Your cache parrtition must be Over 25MB free to use recovery as this is where the zip unpacks the image
2) Remove an extra layer of software to flash something. Fastboot is much better and safer

thx all but acesmod have stock hboot and that iam using
i dont use custom hboot ever
but at all there is no downsides of flashing radios right?
and yes iam s-off

I thought that Radio had to be flashed from the bootloader? at least that is the case on a desire Z

no from recovery

[Q] Unbranded ROM for HOX

Hi,
Just followed bagocrap24's excellent step-by-step guide for unlocking the bootloader on the One X and am about to install Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.2.7.
I'm on branded T-Mobile ROM at the moment (v.1.26.110.5). I have downloaded this ROM posted by rogersnm here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25310993&postcount=518
Once I've got the CWM recovery installed, is it a simple case of installing the stock 1.28 ROM or have I missed something? There seems to be so much information spread across so many threads, I don't know what I need to know and what I don't, if that makes sense.
I really don't want to screw up my phone, and would just like to be running stock v1.28 ROM.
Thanks for your help folks.

Hello there,
I flashed the InsertCoin ROM, it works very well and stock 1.28 with tweak options up to your choice!
Download the Rom.zip, copy the boot.img from within the download and put it in the same folder where u have the fsstboit and cwm files according to the noon guide u just followed, copy the zip of the ROM to the root of your HOX storage...
Power down the HOX and boot into hboot, select fastboot, connect your HOX, open a cms window on your computer type in
cd c:\fastboot
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can flash first the zip from within cwm and then the boot.img as you have only your (backed up in cwm) shipped Rom on it, right? Take good care of the backup....
So, put the zip on HOX, boot into cwm, choose zip, install zip follow on screen guide, boot into hboot, select fastboot, do the cmd as above, re-boot and you good to go!
Be aware to not let the battery drain as in OFF mode it won't charge for the time being...
Let me know how you got on...happy flashing

Thanks for your reply. I've updated to the latest CWM Recovery and am now just looking for a stock, unbranded HTC 1.28 ROM.
I'm weird in that I actually like 'Sense', I'd just like to be rid of the T-Mobile crap they shoe-horned in (for no apparent reason or benefit). Would be nice to be network-unlocked too.
Is there a stock HTC 1.28 RUU for download yet?
Edit:
Am I being dim? Further reading suggests I may need to be on stock recovery and locked bootloader to install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.9_Radio_ 1.1204.103.14_release_256469_signed?

edited. CWM was updated. ;p

Updated again? I'm on 5.8.3.1 which seems to be the latest.

I'm still being dim. How do I remove the T-Mobile RUU (1.26.110.x) and flash 1.28.401.9 which I've downloaded?

Folks, I'm still a little confused as to what I need to do to get the unbranded ROM on my phone. Do I need to flash a stock recovery, re-lock the bootloader, wipe the phone and then install the unbranded ROM?
Many thanks, I just don't want to delete the ROM on my phone without knowing I've understood what I need to do next...
Edit: With stock recovery and relocked bootloader, attempting to enter recovery brings up the red triangle with the exclamation mark.

Anyone...? I was really hoping someone might be able to help me out.

Start by following the Everything HTC One X link in my signature and deciding what you want to do. Come back if you have further questions.

Thanks pdagenius, I've already read through that thread.
As I understand it, I have two options:
1) install a stock, unbranded HTC ROM. This requires a relocked bootloader and stock recovery. When I reset to stock recovery and relocked the bootloader, I couldn't get into the recovery to flash the unbranded ROM. I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark.
2) I can use a different ROM such as Android Revolution HD (which I like the look of as it looks stock). However, there seems to be conflicting information wrt to whether or not to flash new firmware (seems this isn't possible with S-ON?). Additionally, the boot.img link for download in the OP is broken.
As great a community as this is, I've found that often there is simply so much information out there that it's overwhelming, and difficult to find what I need to know and what I don't need to worry about. I think to think I have a little savvy about me but tbh it's a little bit 'information overload'.
With the phone being so new, I really can't afford to brick it....

OK, I've gone with ARHD now..
Thanks to those who offered advice, this thread can now be closed.

Flashing roms

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I can't seem to find an answer to the question I want to ask.
I've just upgraded to my HOX and have flashed it with the latest venom Rom. Everything is ok, but what I'm confused about is why do we need to go into the downloader everytime we want to flash a new Rom.
What I mean is why does the boot img file have to be extracted from the custom Rom and then loaded via a command prompt? I'm not complaining by the way. Would just like to know why this is the case.
On my desire hd it was just a case of rebooting into recovery and then flashing. All done.
Would love to find out what you guys can tell me.

Its because HTC devices are NAND protected and for our device S-OFF has still not been achieved

Because we have S-on devices, the boot.IMG can only be flashed this way.
