i was going to flash the g lite rom for the g2 and it said something about choosing a radio, i downloaded it but now what? i know how to install roms and such but ive never dealt with installing a radio, i couldnt find out how to do it so i was wondering if someone could help me out on this :? also whats the advantages of doing so?
Flashing radios can be dangerous, my advice is flash the rom and don't worry about the radio just yet. run the rom for a couple of days, if you feel that your wifi / mobile signal and battery life is not as good as it was before you flashed, then consider flashing the radion.
The easiest way to flash radios is using a PC10IMG.zip. download from the radio link in my sig (its the one recommended for G-Lite) and place on the root of your sdcard then reboot in to the boot loader and follow the instructions it gives you. The phone will reboot and your new radio will be flashed. Make sure you move or delete the PC10IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard if not everytime you go in to the bootloader it will ask you. To reflash.

No the one in the G-Lite thread is the img file and needs to be flashed via fastboot, you will need to check the radio thread in the dev section for instructions.

In the link for the radios it does detail how to flash a PC10IMG.zip I suggest you read carefully and follow the more detailed instructions.
Might be safer to download from the thread as well as you can check the MD5 sums against four download. I can't remember where my download is from so you wouldn't be able to check.

hey man thanks i followed your instructions and it worked, is it one of the best radios? cause i didnt like g lite so i used xboarders rom, no problems so far but is the radio in your sig good for any rom?
Total noob here,
im about to flash the radio but i dont know if md5 sums matching are relevant here.
i installed the "G-Lite Rom, Virtuous" (md5 64dc139218c502dd6b4e9b4ebdd5dcc9) from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076786,
but none of the radios on the "Glite" thread seems to match. Ur thought?
negate my last post, i had a little captain in me and just did it. Ridiculously simple, much thanks

Enjoy!
I'm interested in trying other ROMs but I would like to be able to return to my current stock ROM if it doesn't work out. Currently I'm running a Bell ROM, but the version is more recent than this one.
Specificially, I'm running 1.34.666.5 with Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M.
Right now, both the firmware and the radio versions are newer than anything on the xda site. Would it be possible for you to obtain a newer RRU? I have checked both the Bell and HTC sites and couldn't find a download link for any RRU.
If it isn't possible, can I expect my phone to update to the current versions OTA if I give it this ROM?
Is it possible for extract the current radio ROM from my phone itself?
I apologize in advance if I'm asking these questions in the wrong place

if you permroot/s-off your phone. you can do a full backup using clockworkmod recovery. however, you do NOT want to flash official ruu's and such, if one is older then the one your on or from another brand, this will happen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
if you want to try this rom, it will have to be A.made into an update.zip rom w/hboot, radio, and recovery all REMOVED, or B. take just the system.img out of it and flash JUST the system.img in fastboot in bootloader (not the fast boot in sense). "fastboot flash system system.img"...you will then need to re-permroot, but skip all the s-off/hboot stuff, you will still be s-off.

Yeah, I need the Radio 12.28b.60.140eU.26.03.02.26_M Extracted from your ROM too. Because I flashed the WWE ROM and I'm having signal issues, compared to my brother who is using that current Bell ROM. If I have to run the Bell ROM to fix this, I'd do that too, but I can't find 1.34.666.5 only the 1.34.666.1 that's listed in this post.
*EDIT*
So... I flashed this posted RUU "[RUU] RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2".
But found the kernel is different, so I couldn't S-OFF to get recovery back on. So... I had my brother S-OFF his phone and make a
Nandroid of his phone running 1.34.666.5. I then proceeded to flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed" back onto my phone, and then rooted, S-OFF, flashed clockwork" and then recovered using my brothers Nandroid backup. Then used clockwork to reset it back to factory. I then made a nandroid backup of that. So, I am posted a Nandroid Backup of
So if you flashed this, the steps are as follows to get back to the original Bell ROM.
1. Flash "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed"] ROM via multiupload.com /67NZB9NER1
2. Root
3. S-OFF
4. Install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager
5. Reboot into Clockwork
6. Recover using Bell HTC Desire/Vision 1.34.666.5 Nandroid Backup via my upload here multiupload.com /6SETLDCPJE
Hope that helps some people who are stuck!
PS To Flash the WWE ROM you might need a Gold Card, I used one.
I'd like a tutorial on how to extract just the radio from the WWE roms. If we could get them as .zip's, loading them with recovery would be very beneficial. I know that if you install a WWE update through HBOOT, you will lose your root and it will return your phone to s-off. Its a bit of a pain of having to go through the rerooting process every time.

Ok, so now that I've unlocked my device using the new gfree method, and have true radio S-OFF and SuperCID, I believe that I could now flash any provider image and return to my backup or a stock provider image at any time. I'm right, er, right?

I am not 100% sure on this myself, but I think it should be ok now. Before the problem was that you could flash an older ROM, and it would first off flash the stock HBOOT over the previous eng HBOOT that was giving you S-OFF. So this would immediately put you back to S-ON. However, now with radio S-OFF you will stay at S-OFF in the flashing process, because the change is made in the radio configuration partition, which won't be touched by the flash.

First I used this method to root

After trying it out i must of missed a step or something cause it would not go past the HTC screen.. at that point i went into HBoot and saw that I did have root but no image on the phone
The phone wouldn't allow me to install a recovery manually..I tried this methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731 I couldn't connect to computer with usb drivers..i installed pdanet and still wouldn't connect so I tried manually and the phone wouldn't allow me to install it.
I then used the same manual method and was able to install the default recovery that comes with the phone. I can't find the link at the moment to that recovery.
I attempted to install the rom before OTA and the rom after OTA..and neither would install using the update.zip method or the hboot pc10img.zip method
I then followed this method suggested

You didn't rename the file you downloaded did you? It must be named PC10IMG.zip for it to work. Alternatively, you can try flashing back the originally shipping rom located in the dev section (since the one from that linked thread was modified to remove the radio and such).

Anyway,.... if you have the eng-hboot you will be able to use the fastboot commands posted in the other thread to flash the custom recovery.
If no eng-hboot then you will need to use the pc10img method. Have you applied any ota updates? Do you know what ROM was on there before you tried all this? 1St try pc10img method with the rom version prior to 1.72 (1.19 maybe?), if fail again due to older version then use 1.72. Infact as all are now rootable it shouldn't make a difference now.

You dont need to flash the radio, just make sure that you do the steps for Eng s-off and Radio S-off (that is, follow all the steps in "the works" section of the how to flash a rom page)
Edit: oh and follow the "testing before flashing anything" part as well
You don't need to flash radios. They can help with better battery, signal quality, etc... or they can make it worse.
If a ROM has a recommended radio, then I would suggest flashing it, otherwise there is no need.
Do remember if you do want to flash a radio, you need ENG S-OFF.
Thank you guys! That would be all ^^
Edit: Is that ENG-S off and Radio S-off necessarily? Why can't I just put the Rom on my SD and then Recovery mode xD
I can't put those things off it keeps crashing/saying that is isn't installed right the vis+ ah well will wait for the official rom then.
Anyone ?xD

To flash radios yes they are necessary. To flash a ROM only S-OFF is required.
(Sorry about the other thread. The descriptions sometimes are not worded correctly on the subforums and I get confused. Again my apoligies)
Hey
I have CM7 installed and Im wondering if its recommened and/or a good idea to update the radio. I wondered this because I have slight signal and Wifi problems that may be corrected with the radio.
Also, how do I apply this? Just flashing with ClockWork Recovery?
There is a thread in the dev section that has a list of all the radios that are compatible with the G2/DZ. You cannot flash a new radio through CWM and have to do it through the bootloader.
Simplest way of flashing is to download the PC10IMG.zip file from the thread and let the phone do the work for you.
1. Download the PC10IMG.zip file
2. Place in the ROOT of your SD card (not in any folders)
3. Reboot the phone into the bootloader
4. Phone will detect the zip file and ask to flash, allow it to flash
5. DO NOT disturb the phone while flashing as you will have a brick
6. Reboot when complete!
You may want to check out RMK's radio matcher to get the libs aligned. Not sure if it helps, but people do say it works.
Have fun!

So you can change freely with Desire Z compatible radios without worrying about bricking right?

There is all ways a risk of bricking with radios. The general advice is "if it aint broke dont try to fix it". But if you are having problems with gps, wifi etc, just follow the instructions andyou should be fine.

I have slight for example wifi disconnecting issues.
My doubt starts on the first step: How do I know that I have the engineering HBOOT installed? If not, how do I install it?
Hi !
So I finally did it : I've just finished the installation of a custom rom (Virtuous Unity 1.29.0).
Needless to say it was painful, even with the great tutorials available here.
I had to make a gold card with the SD card provided with Desire HD (haven't got any other one), downgrade, Radio & ENG S-OFF, Clockwork, backup and flash.
It was painful mostly because you have to click here to do this, but there you have to click on another link to do that before...
In the end, I only had a minor issue with ENG S-OFF (related to that unknown su authorization).
I was a little scared after the final reboot as the rom took its time to load but everything's working fine.
So thanks to all tutorials/tips writers
I just have few minor questions, mostly related to the rom but I can't write them in the proper thread :
- Seems the rom is bundled with the proper radio, was it flashed in the process or do I have to flash it myself ? If yes, where are the files ?
- Do I have to keep ENG S-OFF now that I'm done ? Or does the rom require this option to be off ? I'd rather have this security feature turned back on if possible.
Radios are flashed using fastboot you will need to do that separately.
If you follow the link in my signature to my site you can find all the latest radios there. Some are even packaged ready to flash using the small tool I wrote.
