[Q] Flashing new radio

I just tried flashing [RADIO]Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27_M radio and keep getting
c:\SDK\Platform-tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (24832 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I have root and s-off. my hboot version is HBOOT-0.82.0000
I thought i may have the wrong hboot but tried to flash another and got the same exact error you see up top. I've been searching everywhere for about 2 hours with no luck, can someone help.

You have to have an ENG Hboot to use fastboot.

Also, make sure your radio is unlocked too.

Yep, that is the problem.

I believed, you confused it. Ship s-off and eng s-off are different. You need eng s-off to flash radio.

Yes radio s-off will allow you to revert your radio to older version but you need engineering s-off to actually revert it.

Are you sure you have ENG S-OFF? If you search the forum for

it looks like the reason for this error is not having ENG S-OFF.

Hi,
you can not use fastboot commands if you only have Ship S-OFF. You need Eng S-OFF for this.

Are you trying to flash a radio or custom ROM? With radio you need both radio and eng off, that's recommended anyways. With custom ROMs you only need one.

I wouldnt put my money on that one either, it requires you to have fastboot=eng-off
ok i think your extremely confused. i am sure if you look around harder you could topics to what your looking for. but we shall spare you that, shall we.
first off, I realised you use radio and custom ROM interchangably. they are different things.
RADIO is related to the receptivity of your phone, flashing a newer radio will increase reception and lower battery usage.
CUSTOM ROM is a custom 'interface' for your phone, well, they are all android based anyways. for instance you have HTC Sense and Samsung Touchwiz and so on.
rooting/s-off can be divided into 2 types, one is called eng off and the other one is called radio off/ship off/
eng off installs a engineered bootloader onto your system which allows you to issue command through fastboot, like what you were doing before when you were doing this.

except you are only radio off, which doesnt have fastboot command. thats why all yout attempts have failed.
if you are attempting to flash a radio please get eng off too. please refer to this to get eng off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
to flash a custom ROM, you only need one, either eng off or radio off. first, download a recovery app, namely ROM manager on the market. after you have done that, select flash a custom ROM(in the app, of course), it will then prompt you to select a custom ROM zip file. select it and press confirm.
heres a list to the latest custom ROM. remember, dont unzip the files you download, leave them as they are in your sd card.

Ok lets try this remove the battery and SD card from phone. Wait about 5 min, then insert battery and boot phone
While you wait more info would help. What were u doing before this happens.
Edit- forgot to add in bootloader when you select recovery does anything happens? Have you tried a reset from within the bootloader?

Ok lets try a factory reset maybe that'll help.
In bootloader choose factory. Reset.
If that doesn't work try the ruu again. That usually fixes everything not sure y it didn't work for you last time

Run it again. Sometimes it takes a couple tries. Leave your phone plug in. Don't do anything after it fails n run it again.
Want to make sure u also have the HTC drivers installed

[Q] Desire Stuck in hboot with RUU option only

I've got Desire which is stuck in hboot with only ruu option. The original owner tried to apply the official Gingerbread update and failed. It's S-ON with new hboot. I've tried to apply the RUU again and it hang on updating radio.... and in one point I've got the screen where it says that everything is ok except the radio. I've tried to Alpharev it, SuperOneClick, Revolutionary and so on. but without success, they are all waiting for the device
I assume that this hboot with only ruu option doesn't give much of the fastboot commands. The only one I have successfully started is fastboot devices. The fastboot flash of any img is no go.
Is there something I can do to get custom recovery or s-off to get it back to life?
btw. I've read all the possible threads that I could find, with connection to this status, but all of the people that have solved the issue are with S-OFF phone.
Thanks

So you are currently on hboot version 1.02.0001? If yes, revolutionary should work. This "waiting for device" sounds to me as if you did not uninstall htc sync (reboot computer after this) and installed these htc fastboot drivers from revolutionary site. Or did you?

From what you've told us, it's a radio brick - which is unfixable. Only hope is to send it back to HTC and make up a good story.

If the radio update really failed, the phone would not react at all.
TouchPaled from dGB with Transparent XDA App

@MatDrOiD: I've tried that, but nothing happens. But I've successfully managed to "finish" the RUU with revolutionary fastboot drivers. But at the end it showed the screen with some sort of info in hboot which says radio_v2: fail-pu in red letters, end everything else is ok. But it's still stuck with htc logo with exlamation marks or hboot with ruu option.
@bortak: The phone was not rooted or S-Offed so I think there's nothing to be concerned about warranty with HTC. But I don't have warranty for it, maybe the previous owner have it.
Maybe it's a radio brick, but I'm thinking if the xtc clip can sort thing out. If the xtc clip can flash the new hboot and even recovery, maybe it could unbrick the phone? :|
Thanks for you answers, I hope that the phone is not that dead

Same thing has happened to me. It's stuck at the hboot screen with the following:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
RUU
It does not show a "Fastboot" option, and pressing Vol Down or Back buttons while turning it on does nothing. I've tried almost every alternative out there, to no avail. It's that screen or the black one with the /!\ on the corners, nothing else.
EDIT:
I've gathered some additional information that could lead to a solution:
I've run Fastboot from the command line, and it recongizes the device s/n, and even lets me run most of the commands. The phone, however, remains unaltered, displaying the same screen with the Alpharev hboot.
Using Android Flasher i've managed to flash a recovery, but couldn't flash the boot.img:

So I'm thinking the problem has something to do with the bootloader. Thing is, there's no way to overwrite the hboot already present. Neither stock nor clockwork hboots are working.
¿Is there any way to erase/replace the HBOOT?

All you need is alpharev downgrade (flash it via fastboot commands not commander) then run 2.3 RUU (or official 2.3 upgrade that can be found on htc dev site, you can call it however you want).
