I bought a DHD that already has S-OFF and currently using Android Revolution HD/4G 2.1.
I want to update to the latest Android Revolution HD (5.1.10) and just want to confirm some things...
It is recommended to flash Radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and I am currently using 26.03.02.26_M. Is it a must to update the Radio? and will I also need to update the Kernel?
No, it's not a must to update the radio. It's only recommended. You can flash whatever radio you desire. And no. A kernel is included in the rom but if you like to flash a new kernel you can do that.

Anyway, although is a risky process, doing it through fastboot is not very difficult to do. I don't know how it goes with another radio since I updated mine to install ARHD.
Thanks guys. got it all working good now.
The newest ARHD always includes new radio.

are you 100% on this? I was sure radio had normally to be flashed via fastboot not through clockwork, respect to the developers if they do go to the trouble of integrating the flash of the radio into the rom though
I can confirm that ARHD does not include a new radio, just RILs for the recommended radio.

Dev says to flash radio they feels better for their ROM.
I've installed AR 5.1.10 and flash new radio....
it's really easy...really....just extract downloaded file and read the guide inside! (3steps...)

Hi,
At this moment i'm running a rooted HD, with the revolution HD rom.
But I never flashed the radio, and now I want to flash it to the radio that is recommended for revolution.
I noticed that mine HD is nog ENG s-off, so I tried it with the easy s-off tool
But when i try the easy s-off tool, it says wrong kernel / rom.
How can i flash it? Do i need to get a stock kernel (and from where?) or is there another way to do ENG s-off ?

You are supposed to read and search through the forum before asking any question! Here is the guide for flashing the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
Which version of the stock ROM are you on? The easy s-off tool works like a charm.
Any plans of installing custom ROMs? Try flashing a new radio after that... ARHD2.0.9, for example, is an awesome ROM. You will not only be able to get more out of your DHD but also have complete control over it!
Sorry, but there was too many information
But i did it, thx.
The only problem i got now, is that my Gapps wont install ?

Gapps are bundled in ARHD roms so you should not have an issue here.
I've read around the forums and seen some somewhat odd solutions to this problem, and wondered if I've simply missed something or it's the only solution to this problem.
Simply, I have a 1.32 perm-rooted phone and I would like to upgrade to the latest update (rom and radio) while keeping my root access. I don't want any of the custom roms, I just want the plain vanilla update plus the latest radio updates because they seem to improve things (being with Vodafone in Australia I need all the improvements I can get!).
Alternatively, what is the custom ROM that is closest to the standard one which meets the above requirements (latest update, latest radio while keeping root access)?
As I said, I already have root access, ClockMod recovery plus S-OFF. Do I need the ENG one to do what I need to do? I've seen the one-click tool for this but haven't bothered because I wasn't sure it was entirely necessary.
Thanks,
Ian
Get ENG S-OFF using my tool, flash Raidroid stockify series ROM via ClockworkMod and flash the radio you want using radio flash guide instructions.

Had looked for a "plain" ROM that didn't have any change to it, this set slipped under my radar. Thanks for the pointers, will do those things when I get a chance.
I would like to flash new radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip, actually I have 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I have got orginal ROM HTC WWE (I restored it from CM&) and I have got at this moment Amon_Ra 2.0.1.
I did a backup in Amon_Ra, what I have to do next?
When I flasch CM7, and then flash radio to version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip, using install zip from SD in Amon_Ra, then when I restore the original ROM, it will be working or I will have to downgrade radio in CM7 to version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 which original ROM had before flashing to CM7?
Is radio connected with ROM in backup or those things are separated?
Is Amon_Ra good recovery to install new radio, there are some restrictions according the version of Amon_Ra which I have to use to install new radio?
Rom and Radio are not connected with each other (from the flashing perspective).
If you flash a rom your radio is untouched and if you flash a radio your rom is untouched.
Amon_Ra is a very good recovery Just flash your radio.

i did not know this, thanks
any idea whats the best radio for best battery usage ?
I have just recently rooted and s-off my desire HD and now i'm looking to flash a new rom.
Do I need to wipe the phone before I flash a new one?
do I need to flash a new radio as well?
This is my first time doing this.
also could you suggest a rom that is stable and will give better battery life.
Android Revolution HD is popular among these forums. Very stable and excellent battery life.
You will need to wipe the phone as you are coming from a different ROM. Had you been coming from the same ROM albeit an earlier version, then you wouldnt need to wipe. In all other cases you do need to wipe.
You do not need to flash a radio unless you are having problems with the current one. This is because flashing a radio has a much greater risk of causing problems than flashing a ROM does. Therefore try to keep radio flashing to a minimum. Although it is recommended to flash the recommended radio for each ROM you install. Most of the time however the same radio is recommended for many ROMS.
If you need any help with the steps just ask and we will do our best to help

Android Revolution HD? That would require a full wipe, a new radio for a better battery life. (All given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040)
Looks like I'm slow
I have had a look on the android revolution hd rom page, and according to how I read things, am I right in thinking that I would have to flash the radio on this page to be compatible with the rom?
I read somewhere that if the rom is not compatible with the radio you can run into major problems.
how would I check if my existing radio is compatible with this or any other rom.
since I am new to this, I would rather not flash a new radio till I become more confident in what i am doing.
I have read the rom flashing guide, and the process seems straight forward, but its the radio and rom compatible issues that i am concerned about as I do not want to brick my phone.
When flashing new rom and radio, wich one should be done first

Both work, I flashed radio first but many people also flashed Rom first, no problems.
Regarding competibility of ARHD and stock radio, it is compatible, just that you may suffer some battery loss etc

Hi, I was just wondering what happens to custom radio when I flash stock rom? Will I get the stock radio back or do you know where I can download the stock radio?
Thanks

Which radio were you running and which one are you running now? It all depends on how you root your device. If you unlock the bootloader, then nothing happens, but if you run the hack kit, you will have the lastest 2.3.3 radio, but as you would be S-OFF you can flash the radio you want back again.

Radios are never a must. You can use ARHD with the radio you have at the momento and the rom will run ok. Radios are suggested by the developers as they test or assess several radios in the process of developing the rom. However, you can still use the radio you have and probably will never experience any bug.
If you want to flash a new radio, you can always go back to the previous one as long as that file is to download. Check the radio threads to see how to flash a radio and always make sure that you check that the md5sum match.
If you need further help use the guide in my signature...
Nothing will happen to radio if you flash a stock ROM in recovery. The radio only changes if you manually flash one, or if you run an RUU. Radios are region specific and if your country uses less common frequency bands, then the one for your region will be the best. Latest is not best for radios.
