I'm sorry if this had been mentioned before but I couldn't find anything, and I didn't wanna see people go through the risk of flashing radios if this is the case.. 'this' being ===
I've opened up the first five or six radios on the desire stock radio thread, and all the zips have exactly the same radio.img inside. The MD5 check sums are all the same. Is this actually the case or does MD5 not work on.img files? (I doubt that).
The files also have the same date and are the same size. I guess this means there is no point people flashing radios (or at least the newest five).
So, it seems they have exactly the same radios, just labelled differently. Or am I being extremely thick?
Thanks.
But wouldn't that mean the basband version in settings / about phone shouldn't change at all when u flash the radio

Very true, maybe md5's only skim the surface then, and small changes aren't picked up? But they all have the same date of modification too.. Somethings definatly a bit strange here.
I've just had a look at the first three and one is 11560kb while one is 11559kb. This seems correct as they're always going to be roughly the same size anyway. As for the .md5 where are you getting the checksum from? I've checked each one and they're all different.
The metadata is different, so that's why the sizes are different... Open all the zips, then md5 all the radio.img's... It's the actual radio.img that's the same in each one!

Here new RUU for Vision
http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4f...f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163285_signed.exe
Enjoy!
What`s the difference to this?
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f _26.04.02.17_M2_release
I think htc changed something in radio part, but I'm not sure about that...
Interesting, we have an extra "R" and "SF" in the name of the ROM. Wonder what those stand for, a carrier perhaps ?
Some one brave needs to flash the radio to a G2.... thas what I am interested in.

i posted a mirror at my blog. had to switch to new hosting provider..
Hmm. I'll try this when I get home. Though I wonder what the difference is from the other one.

Just flashed it. Nothing seems to have changed at all. Hmm.
Do you mean that the radio is listed the same in the phone info in settings before and after you flashed?

Yeah it's the same thing as the other 1.72. That's why I'm wondering what changed in this one.

ok for desire z singapore?
Well that's weird. I am still waiting for a better radio..... don't know about you but my signal is horrible at work with my new G2.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I extracted the files and the only two files changed from the other 1.72.405.2 ROM are the system and userdata images - the size is the same (figures, since it's the same partitioning scheme), but the checksums differ.
Has anyone got unyaffs working with these newer images?

unyaffs is not going to work anymore. Newer ROMs are using ext3 and ext4.
Huh... Didn't know that How would I go about extracting it? Or can it be mounted as a loop device?
I have mounted system and userdata as loop devices and used md5deep to make md5sums for all the files. ALL CHECKSUMS ARE IDENTICAL!
The android-info.txt file is a bit changed - the last two lines are reversed.
Also, the radio has a different md5sum, but the size and filename are the same. Also, the date is different (this release's radio was last changed on Dec 20th, as opposed to Dec 2nd for the release ending with M2).
All in all, I really can't see any differences outside of the radio partition. Those with S-OFF and radio issues could try flashing this one from fastboot and letting us know if there is an improvement.
Hi think this must have some improvements because i'm using the first version and i think that have some bugs, like when i set some music like ring tone, it only works at the same day, than returns to the HTC official ring tone. When i'm at an application like settings if the phone goes into sleep then when i resume it goes directly to home screen. It appens some times when the phone is not fully charged when I put in the pocket it turns off.
I think this Rom RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_160660_signed has some problems

radios wont be a problem as they are updated with every official update.. and i couldnt find any tmobile splash screen.. but i make many but i dont have the rite pic to make any splash
I have a brand new T mobile branded DHD. I've only rooted, S OFF, ENG S OFF and SimUnocked it. tell me how to do a stock radio and i can help
thanks for your replies, i was hoping not to use the OTA as i will have to downgrade again. If you know if the OTA will also replace my splash screen with the original then i may do it.
@Rangnarok - could you tell me what the software version and baseband version are in setting>about phone.,I dont think you can extract a radio from the phone. Im not sure how you would extract the splash also. I know there are tools to flash them, but im not back home until tomorrow so i will have a look and if i can find a safe easy way i will PM you... thanks
Ok, to make sure I have what you need, I confirm again that, the Phone is new. I only Rooted. S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. It has a T-mobile splash screen, CID is TMOB005 at the moment.

I have made a back-up ROm, using ClockWorkMod, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for?
I am researching to flashing a custom ROM on it. So hopefully I can help you before doing so
many thanks for the information, it was exactly what i was looking for, i have a backup of the stock rom that came with my phone, it just that it doesnt contain the radio, now i know the one it shipped with i can download it.
will get back to you on the splash screen, flashing a custom rom does not change this so have fun flashing.
I would reccomend trying the cyanogenMod 7 Rom, it has great customizable features, and once you get used to not having sense there will be no going back. The only thing i would look out for is i have noticed that GPS can be hit and miss with different roms, if you use it alot like i do then try using it before you spend too much time with one rom.
cheers
I have had a look inside the backup folder. It has
boot.img
system.img
etc
but nothing that indicates a radio back up. Is this already included in some file in the folder?
radio is not backed up. But there is a thread in dev that has a link to download different radio versions, i just wasnt sure which one came with a stock T-mobile phone.
There is a T-Mobile DE RUU available, you can download that, and get rom.zip from it. Then you can find splash1.img inside the rom.zip. I am pretty sure that T-Mobile DE's and UK's splashes are similar.
thanks for that jkoljo. I should have thought that i could get it from any t-mobile rom as long as the res is the same.
Been meaning to ask you, you quote "It will create a backup of your phone partition 7 (radio config) to the root of your sdcard, I recommend to keep that somewhere really safe!" from your radio tool thread. Does this mean the whole original radio is backed up and i can restore it from that?
Nope, it is not the radio, just radio configuration partition. The radio configuration has lots of important system values in it. Radio reads values from that config partition, and then acts accordingly. Radio is an important part of the system, and it does more than you could imagine

Hello Guys!
Used the Searching Function but didnt find anything useful. If there is something, sorry didn´t found!
I wanted to Flash Android Revolution HD to my DHD and read since yesterday all day here on XDA. Now i wanted to prepare everything but i got a problem.
Mike1986 said in his first post "With 5.1.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio" and named the MD5 cheksum for the file.
My problem is that the MD5 checksum doenst match together whit that one he named in his Post. Tried with 2 different programs but getting the same false checksum: 4C51750D2F2EEC8A077732DE232B0ADE
The right one should be: 2DC4CFC01516D71C8D68AC2C5E2FEDA0
Why does i get a false checksum and do i can flash that one with the "false". Its in Mike´s Thread i guess i can.
Please help a new Andoid-noob - Thanks!
Because errors occur in the download. Delete current one and just download it again and re-check.
'do i can flash that one with the "false"' - Yes, if you want to brick your phone. It's there to make sure the download and file are intact.
Without checking the thread myself, a guess could be, that he links to a radio image in a .zip file and then you're checking the MD5 without unzipping the image first?
Yop, that was the trick. I doesn´t unzipped it .
Sorry for the dumb thread but it helped me out.
Thank you all! Btw you´re a very nice community here on XDA.
Hi all,
Been searching and looking for ages and I can't find a stock RUU for my Desire (Virgin Mobile UK) - I know on startup it says "T-Mobile" on the lockscreen and Virgin share the T-Mobile network, so I wonder whether it's the same.
I've rooted and s-off'ed and I'm about to flash a custom ROM but want to have a backup ready if I ever want to go back to stock again. If anyone knows where I can find such a thing it'd be greatly appreciated! (I've looked at the website (Shipped Roms) everyone links to with the RUU's on, none match my software version - below)
Build number - 2.22.351.3 CL283825 release-keys
Thanks in advance!
Smii
Edit: Won't let me post because of a hyperlink and because I'm new...funny thing is, no hyperlink?! I've got the full info if it's needed.
Forgot to add, Baseband version is 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I've been looking on Shipped Roms and the only one is:
RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_128941_signed.exe
or from the thread in the development folder, which is the same.
Would that one be okay with my Baseband and Software versions? My numbers are very different!
Edit:
Clockwork mod backups - if I flash a new ROM or a new RUU on, would I be able to go back to the state (entirely) as the CWM backup? I'm not 100% certain what it actually backs up, so if you can enlighten me as to that...!

New rom - yes.
RUU - no. Because flashing ruu sets phone back to complete stock, so you do not have cwm recovery any more.
Brilliant, so basically if I flash a new ROM - say for arguments sake, something like Oxygen, I can return to "stock" (albeit Rooted and S-off'd) HTC Sense as it came with (as I have backups for that) - is that right? (I guess what I'm asking is - so long as I don't flash an RUU, with CWM any change I make is reversible?)
Any clues as to whether the RUUs I mentioned are appropriate?

Yes you are right.
The RUUs you mention appropriate to past phone versions.
Sorry for asking daft questions...!
So if you say they're appropriate to past phone versions does that mean they're not for me?
Or would flashing one of those be okay? :-S I want to get it right, you see... ;-)

It means, they are not for you. You are phone is too new for them.
So short of hanging on to my nandroid backup and using that if I ever want to revert to stock, is there any way I can extract my own RUU from my phone, or anywhere else I can one from?
To be honest I spoke to HTC and they said they were okay with me rooting my phone and flashing custom roms so the warranty isn't invalidated if I ever did have to send it back. I just want to be able to reset it to stock if I have to! (In case I want to sell it in the future, for example)
Hi, so I've been trying to get the right radio for me and my friend with DHD (I have Inspire 4G and do not get any 3G signal) has this radio: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. I found a download link on this site ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9891546&postcount=1 but I am unable to flash it. I noticed the ZIP file does not contain "android-info.txt" file. I know how to flash a radio with bootloader and I was successful in flashing other radios but it seems that it cannot be flashed without the file or the file itself is corrupted.
So does anyone know how to flash it or does anybody have the ZIP file with android-info.txt ? thanks a lot people!
edit: oh and... the downloaded file does not pass the checksum test.
edit2: just wondering. there are three antennas on DHD. One for GPS (under flashlight cover), one at sim cover and one at battery cover. which one of these last two is for 3G signals? contacts might be bad or damaged

To flash radio from that site you need ENG S-OFF which WILL MESS YOUR DEVICE. Check this thread (Inspire 4G and DHD radios are compatible as they are the same phone with different frequencies) to get a PD98IMG folder or use the guide in my signature to get an empty one:

since I have been successful in flashing radios from that site I guess I already have ENG S-OFF (although I don't know how to determine it, I know I did some S-OFF). The thing is, I think I need the exact radio version I posted above since it should finally give me 3G. I am located in Central Europe and I believe those radios are mainly for USA, are they not? Also,
Q. Why not just go to the Desire HD thread for Radio and RIL files?
A. Because we own an Inspire. While these phones are almost identical, the software used on each is NOT always compatible. This includes Radio images.

S-OFF is not ENG S-OFF...so if you have ENG S-OFF in the bootloader you will see ACE PVT ENG S-OFF....
From the thread I linked you, you have compatible radios for DHD and Inspire...many of the radios are compatible thou not all of them have been tested. I have used many DHD radios in my Inspire and had no issues at all.

since I have ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL in my bootloader, I don't understand HOW could I flash that radio if I need to be ENG S-OFF in order to do so... or does it just seem to be flashed and in fact it is not?

Have you read the thread I linked you? there is the key....you have to flash radios as PD98IMG.zip files in the bootloader. That is the safest way, anyway.

I always download the ZIP package, rename to PD98IMG.zip, copy it to my SD card, reboot to bootloader, flash the radio, reboot the phone. Never did it different. And gave me error only once, only when the radio I need does not have android-something.txt file in the package.
I just need those packages with correct radio version and according RIL. and I'd like to know which antenna is which. so if anybody has or knows, please, do tell me.

is there anything specific you want me to read outloud? there is NOT the correct version I need (well there is, but it is just incomplete). I know how to flash it, I know there are "slight differences" between inspire 4g and DHD (according to the topic) but I do not have the correct package so I could rename it and flash it. I tried. Oh yes I tried. Did not work. Wouldnt flash. So I just need a link to the correct version. If you don't have it, please, leave it.
MD5 is not the same in the post as on the file and there is one file less in the package than in other packages of different radios.
BTW, I am not asking you to do my work, I am just asking if anyone has it. I tried to google it, all of the links I have found are dead (or making me download some youtube downloader). Oh and I am reading.
you know what? somebody lock this thread, please... I think I want to figure this one out myself. Even if it means not having 3G in my phone. I am not going to let glevitan make fun of me. dunno who's not reading.
