Hi,
I know this is a known problem and on the cyanogenmod nightlies thread it recommends flashing the radio with 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10, i checked my phone and i already have this version. The GPS icon does not show in status bar and does not work at all. My internet, bluetooth etc all seems to work fine apart from the GPS.
I got cyanogenmod 7.1.
Will re-flashing it with same version fix the GPS problem if not which one should i use?
Also i have ROM Manager installed and it says about flashing the radio with ROM Manager, can someone tell me how i do this exactly please?
Is it -
- Copy that radio zip file to root on sd card
- Open ROM Manager and then select whatever option it is that i need to flash it
Also should i do a backup via rom manager and titanium backup before flashing ?
Thanks
You have to reflash it, irrespective of the version you got.
- Place Zip file on SDCard
- Open ROM Manager
- Select "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"
- Once that is done, select "Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery"
- This will take you to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text)
- Follow the same procedure to flash a ROM (Install Zip from SDCard > Select Radio.zip).
Backup is not necessary (But feel free to take one if you feel like it) since it wont affect your data. But, make sure you have sufficient battery charge and don't interrupt the process at all, because doing so may brick your phone.
Lastly, kindly don't use the Development Sections for help questions. Use Q and A.
Thanks for the info i will try what you have said. Also sorry for posting in the wrong section, i will remember for next time.
Thanks

I have had an unbranded Desire HD for about a month now, and I have a Fonic (Germany) sim card installed. However, I do not recieve over the air updates. Is there a way to get the updates some other way? Preferably without rooting and all of that. I'm a noob in that area. Thanks in advance.
What is your current Android software version?
My software version is 1.32.405.6
I've tried to check for updates manual, and the phone says up to date. Since it doesn't appear that I get OTA, what's the next best way to get the phone update? Preferably the most user friendly noob way.
Your software is upto date. The update HTC released was removed as it caused a lot of problems for a lot of users.
The most user friendly way would be to simply wait.
If your sure you want to get the update you will need to root your DHD, remove the security (S-OFF), flash a custom recovery and finally flash either a custom ROM that has the updates, or the bugged HTC ROM.
It may sound like a lot of work but if you read through all the relevant guides in the Dev section, you will soon be up to speed. Plus should you need it, you can ALWAYS ask for help.
you got it all there on Leedroid topic (v 2.0 in this case)
Q: How do I flash this ROM?
Requirements
* You will first need to ROOT your DHD.
* Apply Radio S-OFF/, S-OFF
* Install Clockwork Recovery: The easiest way is to root your phone as above and download Rom Manager from the Market, which has an option to install C'Work Recovery.
Once you have done as above
1. Drop LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.Xx.zip on you SD card
2. Check the MD5# matches the one in post 1#
3. Ensure you have more than 40% Charge & Unplug your DHD.
4. Boot into recovery (either via rom manager or by powering up with the vol- button held)
5. Select "backup&restore" then backup your existing ROM. (usually referred to as a "Nandroid" backup)
6. If you want a clean install, scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" (this step is recommended but not always required)
7. Select flash zip from SD card
8. Select the LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.Xx.zip
9. Wait for the flashing process to complete and reboot
FYI. It is recommended that you flash radio 26.04.02.17_M2 to work the LeeDroid base 1.72 Roms effectively, failure to do this may result in poor battery, Wifi & mobile connectivity perfom
so...you ownload the rom...from this link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wof7dbw87cfven0
(if that doesn't work...try this link to a database for HTC DESIRE HD...you got all you need there
http://zantekk.de/~desire_hd/ )
you put the rom on your sd card, reboot on recovery, choose from the menu to install specific ZIP file... reboot
after that
download the radio, put it on the tools folder off your Android SDK directory, open a command prompt and flash it...you got a tutorial on develeopment section about that

Thanks everyone for the help!
So, I've tried using a mod cooked by a online kitchen (cookmyrom se) and now I have a Desire in a very strange condition -
1. It has cyanogen mode, but without the Market application.
2. It has a terminal emulator.
3. It has clockworkmod, but I can't make it download the recovery thingy that actually makes it useful (even though I have both wifi and 3g, checked using the browser).
4. ADB on windows doesn't recognize the device. I updated it (last time I rooted the device was a lot of time to go).
5. The device is rooted (I managed to run terminal commands as root - su, etc).
6. Any time I try to put a Mod as update.zip it gives me an error about the signing (I tried official mods too :S).
7. Current version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
Kernel version: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmodandroid giulio-laptop#7
HBOOT: 0.80.0000
Radio: 5.09.00.08
So , now all I want is to get some kind of control back - at the least the ability to dump a new mod. Any Desire expert can piece up the puzzle I created and help me?
1 Flash gapps
2 It should have
3 Your confusing rom manager and CWM. If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery.
4 Either driver issues or adb isn't enabled on the phone.
5 Great
6 Turn of signature verification (in recovery go to install zip from sd, there is the option)
If you want to flash new rom:
Put a rom on the sd
Boot in to recovery (without rom manager)
Wipe data/factory reset and cache
Install zip from sd
Reboot recovery
First of all, thanks for helping. Unfortunately, I understood maybe half of what you wrote
1. I googled it and it seems that I still need a facility to flash stuff, which I don't have since I can't install CWM recovery.
2. I am. I have rom manager installed, but I can't flash Clockworkmod using rom manager. It says "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection (I have) and that your sd card is inserted and has enough space (inserted and has >1GB of free space)"
I don't understand what do you mean by
"If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery."
I think I am rooted. As I said, I have root privileges and as I said, when I boot into recovery I only have 4 options (reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition).
4. I have both drivers and newest adb. I have all development options, including debugging on the phone (this is what you meant right?) enabled. I can try reinstalling everything.
6. Again - I don't have this option.
Bump. Still no solution, and I tried every unlocker method out there. Please help.
Hi all,
Today i was trying to flash the radio for my HTC wildfire
version: 13.55.55.2424H_3.35.20.10 (same as the one on my phone now)
What i have done:
1-renamed the radio to update.zip and put it on SD root
2- booted in recovery mode (CWM 4.0.1)
3- chosen install zip from sd card
but i got this message:
Installing update..
Amend scripting ( update.script) is no longer supported.
( some sentences including CWM 3 and ginger bread) don't remember them exactly
Installation aborted.
I rebooted phone and thanks to God it's working OK, communications OK.
What i have done wrong?
help will be appreciated
thanks in advance.
It needs Clockworkmod Recovery 2.x. So, you can get that from within ROM Manager App.
- Open ROM Manager
- Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- This will install v2.5.0.7 on your SDCard (It wont touch your v4.x)
- Then select Reboot into Recovery from within ROM Manager.
- This will start Clockworkmod 2.6.0.7, then flash the radio as normal.
Alternatively, get this attachment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
Flash in in Clockworkmod 4.0.1, it will give you temporary 2.5.0.7, then proceed as normal.
Thanks a lot 3xeno
i have done the first on and it worked
but
when i installed the updat.zip
some lines was showed but it was very quick i couldn't read them
but the process took about 5 seconds or maybe less
is that normal??
how can i know that i have flashed the radio succefuly?
the phone is working OK.
Yes, its normal. When you follow the second procedure, it gives you temporary 2.5.0.7.
I hope you followed only one of the procedures though. (Either go via the ROM Manager App way, or go via the update1.zip way, not both)
When you flash a Radio, it says "The Radio will install on Reboot". Then, you select "Reboot System Now" in Clockworkmod, and it will reboot your phone, and it will state "Writing Radio Image". This process takes some time, after which your phone reboots again and starts normally. When this happens, you can be sure you have reflashed the radio properly.
i followed the first
i have reeboted into CWM 2.5 ( green color)
then i flash the update.zip by install zip from sd card
it shows quick lines
and i don't see this "The Radio will install on Reboot"
the back to recovery menu
i choose reboot system now
the phone reboot as normal without this "Writing Radio Image"
any thing am missing?
Don't flash the update.zip in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text). The update.zip is an alternative to be flashed in Clockworkmod 3.x/4.x (Orange text) which will reboot your system in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. (ie - It is to be used only if you didn't use the ROM Manager method. Since you have installed Clockworkmod 2.5 using ROM Manager, you can delete the update.zip, you no longer need it)
Once you get to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, Flash the Radio's Zip using the same procedure. (Install Zip from SDCard > Select Radio Zip file). To reiterate, theres no need for update.zip once you are in Clockworkmod 2.5
Thanks a million 3xeno
flashed the radio Successfully
what i was doing wrong that i have renamed the radio zip file to update.zip
method that i have done for anybody hwo wants to do that (thanks to 3xeno):
1- put the radio file as it is on SD root (don't change the name of zip file)
2- go to rom manger and choose flash clockworkmod recovery
3- from rom manger choose reboot into recovery
(will reboot in CWM 2.5) green text
4- choose install zip from sd card
5- press go back (back button won't work) go to the bottom of menu and you will find the ++back++
6- choose reboot system now and wait til it finish.
I don't think changing of filename from radio.zip to update.zip will affect installation of radio (as long as you haven't extracted the zip).
But what happened is (I guess) ---
You are changing the radio.zip to update.zip and kept it at the root of sdcard. Then if you open Rom manager and flash recovery, the update.zip related to radio will be overwritten by cwm2.x update.zip . And vice versa if you have flashed Rom manager cwm2.x first and then copied radio update.zip to root of sdcard.
So basically one of the needed things are missing ( = being overwritten) which interfere with the process. Anyway nice that you made it.

Hi,
There are a lot of similar problems on this forum, but after trying a lot i still can't get my DHD fixed... I feel stupid atm..
It happened when trying to install the Sensation v2.1 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131063)
I followed the guide from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
I started with making the phone Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. This was succesfull.
BELOW are the steps from the flashing guide, the BOLD marked part shows the part it went wrong..
- Tell any people that might call you during the next 10-15 minutes to not worry
- Connect your phone using "Disk drive" to the computer.
- Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip and your rom zip file to your SD Card
- Make sure you copied them correctly
- Check again because once you full wipe, you won't have a rom.
- Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Install and open Rom Manager from the market
- Tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
- Wait for it to download (yes, you need a wi-fi or data connection)
- After it is done press "Reboot into recovery"
- If you get an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle, remove the battery from your phone, reboot and then flash the clockworkmod recovery again
- Once you are in the clockwork mod recovery, you may use the volume keys as directional keys (up and down) and the power button may be used as Enter.
- I recommend you do a nandroid back-up. You must have at least 1 gb of free space.
- Select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select full-wipe-1-3.zip (It's right under those folders)
- Confirm by selecting the Yes option in between those "NO"s
- Wait for it to finish
- DO NOT REBOOT!!! In case you were not aware, you now have no rom installed
- Once again select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select your rom zip file
- Confirm your selection (just like with the wipe)
- Wait for it to finish
- Please reboot from the recovery menu and flash nothing else before you have rebooted
- Pop a champagne bottle, because it's done.
I was not able to select a file from the SDcard.. It kept saying "SDCARD NOT MOUNTED"
After that ive done some more:
- Format the card with SDFormatter and i've also tried in Clockworkmod itself but also there it said the SDcard wasn't mounted..
I've also read about a USB brick or something.. But to fix the usb brick u needed to put a file, update.zip, on your SDcard... which i couldnt load ofcourse.
At the moment i'm really frustrated because my DHD just wont start!!
It has no ROM.. At the moment it also stopped starting the Clockworkmod.. It shows a phone with a red exclamation mark when i press RECOVERY from Bootloader screen...
I hope someone can help me fix this DHD..!
Regards, Thijs
Actually, at the moment i dont care if the ROM i mentioned gets installed.
I'd be SO HAPPY to have the stock Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.x back!!!!!
Oke it now for some reason found the SDcard and i succesfully wiped the device again with Full wipe 1.5 EXT4 and succesfully installed the Sensation rom.
At this moment the systems just won't boot.
It freezes at the first screen u see when you boot the DHD..
Anyone knows what this could mean??
I'm sure you have done this but I'm going to ask anyway.
Do you have a nandroid backup somewhere in your computer? If you do try mounting the SDcard with a cardreader...some laptops have a built reader. copy the nandroid folder to where clockwork backs everything up and try restoring from phone recovery.
Since you are hung on boot...see if you can do a factory reset and data wipe...a wipe sometimes clears a rom not booting. then again...I'm speaking with experience from other phones not the Desire HD or any HTC for that matter.
Hi guys,
got problems with cm7
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3
- when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times to enter recovery
- choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
- choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
- wipe device
- reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
have i to unpack GAPPS ADDON file o just put it into sd card as it is?
on recovery i can find a list of "no" and just update.zip (that i guess is the ROM, isn't it?). nothing more, no GAPPS. any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? thanks
Cavin
You need to copy both .zip files to the SD card (CM7 and gapps) and flash them in recovery. Do not unpack any of the files, unless you want to make modifications to them.
In recovery, choose "install zip from SD card" option, select the CM7 file first, wait for the flash to complete, then go to "install zip..." again, and select the gapps file.
Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (this last one is under the "advanced" menu in recovery), then reboot.
Better to do all this with full battery, to avoid drain issues.
The screen is like this
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip
-No
-No
-No
i had to rename update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip as update.zip and works, but grapps misses.

Windmobile LG Optimus 2x
I am trying to upgrade my Windmobile LG Optimus 2x. So I rooted the phone. Then I used ROM Manager from ClockworkMod. I chose the option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and then I have a problem: the phone keeps rebooting. Eventually I removed the battery and tried turning on again and it booted. It went back to the way it was when I bought the phone. All applications were gone. I tried one more time and same thing happened.
