[Q] update question, radio nd.. please help

hey everyone
this is my first time i will root and install new rom on my htc desire, the thing is that i read the tutorials and everything, and i chosed to install cyanogen mod 7 rom, however cyanogen said this
The 7.0.3 update is *ONLY* for people using 7.0.2* stable builds. You'll hose your system if you install it on a nightly from the last week (2.3.4/GRJ22).

does that mean that i cant install it unless i had 7.0.2 preinstalled on my phone ? which means that for now i should install 7.0.2 ??
please help, and if it is true what is the way to update it after installing the 7.0.2 rom ??
plus it says
Update your radio! New radio from HTC 2.2+ roms is required

how do i choose the radio ? and how do i know that i dont need to download it if my radio is what is stated... ???
however the tutorial i am using says this in intro
***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***

mine is 0.93.0001
does that mean that i cant continue doing the steps of rooting and flashing provided ??
third is that
thanks in advance

Your hboot is OK, you can go ahead with rooting and S-OFFing your device (which i recommend since you want to run CM7, go with CM7hboot to maximize ROM efficency and properly use phone's memory)
Download 7.0.3 and flash it. what cyangoen said means, that you can go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 without wipe (flashing one on top of the other so you dont have to set up your apps and settings again) and also he mentions that if someone was using that weeks nightly build, he/she MUST do a full wipe before flashing 7.0.3 or it wont work
about RADIO
if you were on Official Froyo, you do have correct RADIO
if you werent or if you just want to be up to date, you can do it yourself - download the radio from desire forums here, search for them in the 'Desire index - everything for the desire is here' thread.
download .zip of the radio and flash it from recovery, or if you decide to S-OFF you can also do it by downloading .img of the radio and flasing it using fastboot (you must have [email protected])

go with CM7hboot

if there is a better one please let me know about it ...
thanks alot for the help

HBOOT determines the partition layout in your phone memory.
stock bravo (desire) hboot is 250MB system, 147MB data and 40MB cache
now alpharev made custom hboots, one of them specifically for CM7 (since it didnt need 250MB on system)
and CM7hboot is : system 145M cache 5M data 287M
so u get lots of space for apps, nothing wasted (because u waste 150MB if running CM7 on stock hboot)

thanks alot
ive finished insalling my new rom
a great thanks for ur help

[Q] Radio Questions

Hi guys, I've got a few questions regarding flashing a radio which I could not seem to find answers about in the forum. I've noticed quite a drastic drop in signal strength in my phone after the latest cyanogenmod 7 update and my GPS stopped working too. So here I go
1) Does my country and carrier affect the effects of flashing a new radio? (I'm from singapore and using Singtel BTW)
2) Will doing a nandroid backup and restoring undo the flashing of radio in case something goes wrong?
3) Does the radio also affect Wifi-tether? Cos it stopped working too (It keeps saying error), so if it I flash a new radio will it be fixed? if not can anyone tell me a solution to this tether problem?
Thanks for reading

1) As long as you are using an HTC Wildfire A3333 GSM device, you should be good to go. You can check your existing radio version under Settings > About Phone > Baseband Version, and compare it to the one's available, just to cross check.
2) No. Nandroid's do not touch the radio
3) It may, although I am not too sure of this. It may be something else that is causing the issue, but, your GPS issue will definitely be fixed after reflashing the radio.

Another radio question, I'm also trying to download the latest radio from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads to solve GPS issues using CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 and the error is
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the CWM 3.0 GB-based recovery.
Please switch to Edify Scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Flash this attachment in CWM5.0.2.0, it will give you temporary CWM 2.5.0.7, then flash the radio as normal.

Thanks so much! The CWM should reset to 5.x after the radio flash right?

Yes, once you reboot, you will regain 5.0.2.0. The 2.5.0.7 version in this case is temporary, and is called "Fake Flash"

How do i confirm that my wildfire is "HTC Wildfire A3333 GSM device" or this is the model everyone gets?

Check under the battery where the device IMEI and serial are printed. The model is printed on the first line there.

Thanks for the help, got into CWM 2.5 and flashed the ZIP, it said install successful reboot to complete, so I did, but checking "about phone" shows the basband as 3.35.20.10 still, instead of the 3.35.15.31 which I tried to flash...any ideas?

Ok, I've flashed a new radio and the GPS is working now (but I doubt it was even spoilt in the first place since the icon only showed up when I'm at the Maps app) but the Wifi tether isn't, is there any fix for this or should I start a new thread cos I couldn't find a solution to this on the forum too

[Q] Can't flash the newest radio

Hello,
sry for this noob question but I have searched this problem on the forum and it seems like that nobody else is having ´the same problem.
Since I've rooted I have been wanting to flash a custom rom on my phone. For my particular ROM the developer suggests to flash the latest Radio. I've tried to install it through the recovery ("install zip from sdcard") but my recovery just won't install it.
rooted using revolutionary. Of course s-offed. My Phone is the PVT4 SLCD with erase size of 20000
My Recovery is ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 (That from rom manager)
Thanks

You wrote everything except the most important part - bootloader information.
But I reckon what you'll write so probably the /cache is to small to flash radio using a .zip leaving you only with fastboot flash method.

Hi, I don't know which hboot you are using. But I think you have got one with small cache partition (5M size). If it's true, you should flash radio by fastboot.

Actually I have the stock hboot. I think the recovery is the problem. So CWM says the installation aborted. Amend scripting is no longer supported. I should switch to edify scripting. How can I do that?

for what its worth, my advice if you have a recent radio (one where second string of numbers starts with _5) then leave it and try it with the rom. If you do need to change it I'd recommend learning to use fastboot to flash as it takes other software layers out the equation.
Also, get rid of Rom Manager - you don't need it and it causes problems with Desire - and since you're s-off install 4Ext Recovery.

I had the same problem with stock hboot. I only have a Mac and Ubuntu machines, and I haven't found an easy step by step tutorial to use fastboot (only for Windows) so I'd rather do it with just the phone itself. So is it still possible to flash radio without using a computer?
On the other hand I used to have the latest radio before unrooting my phone for warranty reasons, and I can't see any difference in performance...

Here is a German Tutorial (sorry for that):
http://www.brutzelstube.de/2012/edify-scriptfehler-flashen-eines-radio-images-mittels-adb/
I had the same issue, did it with this tutorial and it worked good for me!
Short translation:
#1: Boot in the Fastboot menu (start with power+ volume down then fastboot)
#2: Install ADB http://www.brutzelstube.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/adb-tools.zip
#2: Extract the "radio.img" from the Radio .zip file and copy it to the ADB folder
#3: Connect your mobilphone with the Computer, wait a few seconds then navigate with cmd to the ADB folder and put the following line in: "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
#4: restart your phone
It worked for me!!!

Easier way would be Android Flasher:

I just flashed the latest radio from recovery. I know this is not the safest way to do it. In rom manager I flashed the Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 version. And then from recovery I just installed the latest radio. Worked for me.

Addition: One can only use recovery to flash Radio, if the Hboot has at least 35 MB space for /cache-partition.

Can you or any one else provide me the link to download Clockworkmod 2.5.X.X. I cant find it anywhere.
I have 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 baseband version and Stock hboot.
Do i need to upgrade it to install sense 3.5 roms? Are there any risk in flashing radio? As every sense 3.5 rom freezes occasionally on my desire.
Thanks

any 3.5 sense rom is too heavy for desire, you can speed it up if you use cm7r2 hboot... flashing radio is risky operation if radio flash will fail it is not recoverable in most cases, htc will replace motherboard if you can provide proper reason under warranty... you don't need to update radio to flash rom but battery life can be affected by radio...
to flash radio without ruu you must be s-off

You can flash older versions of clockworkmod recoveries in rom manager, just search from market/play store. That's what I did.

rom manager is not recommended, rather to flash it manually via fastboot but you must be s-off
why do you want old version of cwm?...

No changing radio gives no guarantee that your freezes are gone. For instance your sd card could be the problem with freezing software ( sd card to slow )

Class 6 HS cards are faster, could be the problem. I had freezes with a 8 gig class 4 card. I bought another card and my freezes are gone. I am NOT saying that a faster card is the solution but it might help. Try testing it with a friends card that's faster

ViperX rom small issue, help !

Hello all
I have an issue after I installed ViperX 3.3.1 rom to my device
Hboot 1.36
CID htc__044
Android version 4.1.1
Radio shown in bootloader 5.1204.162.29 and in settings unknown baseband
Frimware 3.14.707.24
and I follow all the steps in the in the official tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443
Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Do a nandroid backup!
Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
Reboot the device and enjoy!

why you don't ask in related thread? like the viperX thread? they can help you better....but what are you want to say us? that you don't have with viperX rom signal but with stock rom`? or what do you want to say us...

During the installation it's asking If you are using custom kernel, just pick no and you should have signal ( if you pick yes it won't flash kernel modules, therefore no gsm/WiFi)

Update failed and the phone freezed

Hi,
I tryed to Update my phone with original rom trought the phone. First try and it tells me trath there is a error (Status 7). Then i found a way how to skip this error (with deleting of the assets from script file) and install it. And after that my fight with the phone starts. After the install the OS start reboot continuesly. Somehow i flash the boot.img and start Philz Touch 5 Recovery system. After that flash the ROM with Cyanogen. First i got the same Error (Status 7) and once again fix it. Then install it and the phone starts. But after 30 seconds is freeze and can't do anything, only restart. The HBOOT version is 0.95. I thin that maybe this error (Status 7) comes with any reason, and maybe this becomes from wrong ROM.
Please if someone could help! The phone is not mine and i didn't fix it should pay it . If you need any other info just send me a message.
Thank you in advance!

ufff...first...this thread will be moved...and i hope very fast...this is dev thread not q+a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next....i dont know....you did so much massive wrong....please buy a i thing...really...and never flash a custom rom...or do a research or asking before..if you dont understand what you are doing....i also was a beginner in the past....but i can good read and follow and ask...not just flash...äähhm..what iḿ doing...it do not start anymore
you should really read before do flashing
--------------------------------
from what i read you have a custom recovery...did you maked a nandroid backup before you did anything...if yes...restore it and flash the boot.img of it..reboot and you are done...if not search a rom what works on hboot 0.95...means no jb
flash it..and its boot.img
before you can flash a original rom...means ruu...you should research..there are some guides here

i dont think cyanogen can be installed on hboot 0.95......

I think you should've updated the HBOOT on forehand. The Status 7 error is a check, not a fault.
You can download a RUU from one of the stickies in the Android Development forums and revert to stock, then update (incl HBOOT) and then try again.
