Hi, I'm a complete noob here, so forgive me for my "stupidity".
Okay, so I downgraded my DHD from 2.37.707.3 to 1.32.405.3 by making a goldcard and then flashing it. After rooting my DHD (Visionary), I proceeded to S-OFF it. After playing around, flashing some ROMs (CWM), I decided to change my radio. I went to look for a ROM, then I downloaded its recommended radio. After getting ENG S-OFF, I went to flash my radio, then went to flash my ROM after wiping my data, dalvik cache, etc... But now, I am experiencing a horrible signal, and most of the time, the phone says: "Limited Service Emergency Calls Only". When I try searching for networks, I get:"The SIM card does not allow a connection to this network", even though this IS my home network! I am at my wit's end. I have tried many methods. I tried re-flashing the radio, switching back to S-ON, changing back to Stock CID and Stock ROM, and also simple stuff such as rebooting, factory reset, etc. I know it has nothing wrong with my SIM because it works with my other phones. I've tried searching online, but to no avail. My phone is not tied to any carrier.
Any ideas? Any help will be appreciated!

Downgrade and permanent root
Radio S-off
eng S-Off
flsah recovery and ROM

Re: Desire HD No Signal after flash
okay, so I tried to revert to stock rom (revert the CID, change S-OFF to S-ON, etc) so after I started up my phone, there seemed to be a signal, but it slowly died away and now I'm stuck with the same problem.
Now, my phone info is:
Android ver: 2.3.3
Sense: 2.1
Baseband: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g3bf3222 [email protected]#1 Mon Apr 11 22:46:37 CST 2011
Build number: 2.37.707.3 CL56018 release-keys
Software number: 2.37.707.3
CID: HTC_044
I radio S-ON and reverted my CID to my default one (HTC_044) before updating using RUU: RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.37.707.3_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_188759_signed
did I do it correctly? before I started rooting and downgrading etc, my software version was 2.37.707.3, so that was why I changed back to this software. Am I doing this correctly?
the phone can suddenly get a signal, but after a while, it soon dies.

I have my HTC DESIRE locked to 3 UK, i rooted it the other day, and when i was installing a rom, i was told to update the radio, and i no longer get reception, and when i do it just seems to come and go, stupid me i forgot to check what radio i had installed at first, and now i just want everything to go back to normal and i really dont know what steps to take, i tried using a 3 UK ruu, but it was for hboot 0.80, but i have 0.93.0001 and when i tried it it would just give me an error saying please try again with the correct RUU, well something along them lines.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks
You've already answered your own question - you need the 3 FroYo RUU or a stock RUU with a gold card to get back to stock. You can, however, just flash another radio and see what happens

Thanks for the advice, but that didnt seem to work as i had to unroot and downgrade my HBOOT first. But i figured it out now, and now have my Desire unrooted properly with the 3 FROYO rom by using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 and then installing the official 3 rom.

Radio: 2.15.00.09.01
HBoot: 2.02.0000
I have an Evo flashed to Metro PCS. The person in the store did it, so I'm not exactly sure what he changed. That's not important though, I just need to totally restore it to factory defaults.
The bootloader is S-ON.
I tried flashing a PC36IMG.zip I found, and it seemed to be working until RADIOV2 failed. Everything else said OK, but then it failed at the end. Maybe I had the wrong one.
Any help? I can boot into bootloader and adb works (usually) so there must be a way to restore it.

Could any body help out?

请高手们指点一下吧！谢谢谢谢！
2.10.0001 radio is non-downgradeable on new hardware models.
Your phone has the new block size that is not compatible with the old radios and the remote not allowed error is because you are not using the eng hboot. Unfortunately it is not compatible as is either.
You can force it to downgrade and I believe I found a way to make it work with the new block sizes, but it's never been tested.
Ill test it. Got an extra new block size

If it doesn't work though you're pretty much guaranteed to be bricked. But if it's a phone you're not worried about I've been dying to find out if this will actually work.
Yes i will sacrafice. Gettin a nexus s 4g anyways...seriously will test tho

Right on, all you need to do is downgrade to the eng hboot from the hboot and before rebooting or doing anything set 'fastboot -n 4096'
That *should* let you use the eng hboot. You still won't be unable to downgrade your radio though, although afterward it may let you flash the old radios without so much as a warning.
Ok will do. Hboot usb or fastboot usb?
Tryed this but i still get six short vibrates when flashing the radio

fastboot USB, as I previously said you will probably never be able to downgrade the radio. Sorry but that's just how it is.
Are you able to at least use your phone with the .76 hboot?
its weird.. there should be a way!!

Instead of downgrading so far back, have you tried downgrading the baseband from 2.15.00.11.19 to 2.15.00.09.01? If not, give it a try. You can download it and all of the other EVO radios from the link below:

If i wanted to go back and try Android 2.1 roms, do i have to downgrade the radios as well?
Trying not to make a new thread but....say if I am using a 2.2 Rom with the 2.15.00.11.09 radio and I want to flash to a 2.1 rom(I'm talking bout far back as the rooted shipped stock ROM from last June. Would I need to downgrade my radio? And does that stock ROM already come prepackaged with a kernel. I'm pretty sure the kernel needs to be downgraded for it to be compatible. When I got my EVO in Sept, I was already on 2.2. Never tried 2.1 but have always been curious to try it and see how much worse it is. Then I could say I've finally tried all three versions of Android on my phone and how far we have progressed
As you've stated, the problem would not necessarily be the rom itself not working with the new radios, but whether or not the default kernel would work properly. Give it a shot. The worst that *should* happen is bootlooping. At that point, you can either reboot into recovery and flash a different kernel or downgrade the radio, PRI and NV. Of course, this is my opinion. You can download the rom from here . By the way, according to the descriptions on the shipped roms, the radios appear to be included.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
just read that i can't downgrade my radio because i'm running the 2.10 HBOOT and on HW003. but if downgrading the radio is not necessarily important to run a rooted 2.1 rom then i don't have much to worry about do i? also, those links you posted: i can flash those RUU's in recovery like i would any other rom? i don't want to go back to stock and be unrooted.
i was thinking of running the 1.32.651.1 rooted rom from Flipzmode, and if need to - download the appropirate kernel link next to it on the detailed ROM wiki thread maintained by Toast.
You cannot downgrade your HBOOT from 2.10 (not necessarily accurate) without a risk of problems, however, you can downgrade the baseband, PRI and NV. I've done it several times. I've downgrade from baseband 11.19 to 09.01. As well as upgrade to 04.08. I've also downgraded my PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 all while having HBOOT 2.10.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
i've downgraded my PRI because of the wakelock issues.
so you can downgrade the baseband to a certain extent? only within the 2.15 radios? but you cant downgrade to the radios that were on Eclair? if i can run 2.1 roms on 2.15 radios then by all means i'm going to try it out. thanks for the info doug
Hi guys just tried to install the 2.3 OTA update that came through today.
Problem is as soon as I try it reboots to the exclamation mark and android symbol.
I am ENG S-OFF Radio S-OFF Sim Unlocked and Perm Rooted.
I did however change my CID to the standard HTC 001.
What could be the issue? I'm not getting any error notifactions or if I am I don't know where to find them?
Any advice?
Have you removed any system apps? Or any of the bloatware they pack in stock builds?
No the only thing I have done is to permroot with Visionary and add radio s-off and supercid now I changed the cid back to stock in prep for the update coming. The ROM is completely standard and stock.
My current version and build info is as follows:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel Version
2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Oh and when trying to use this tool after the failed OTA update attempt to change radio s-off back to on to see if that worked the program no longer seems to work returning failed probably connection errors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for the quick reply.
Same problem as I have in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081923&page=2
I think its becuase we have S-OFF that we cant get the update. I'd like to know how to get S-OFF back on
If you're both rooted, etc... Why don't you try Seraphics rooted GB ROM?
You can flash it via recovery and is completely stock, other than having root access.
You can find the thread HERE and the ROM HERE
I wouldn't mind knowing how to get S-OFF back on. Starting to wish I didn't root as I cant even get an OTA.
Same problem
I had the same problem ealier today. Yellow ! when the update shuts down the phone, but take out the battery and it loads back 2.2 up..
Tried undoing changes I could remember making- the radio s-off, rooting and the CID. Only other thing I could think of was trying to take clockworkmod recovery off the phone.
I decided just to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
...If you can flash roms, this is probably gonna be much the same as the update.
In the end I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I've tried RCMIX kingdom ROM which has elements of sense3 in it. I hadn't done my research and expected sense 3 with this update.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'll be frank and say custom roms aren't interesting me. I use Launcher Pro and make my own lockscreens for all my visual customisations and haven't seen any ROM that does anything out the ordinary other than tweaks.
Its knocked my confidence in using anything off here especially when the tool to s-off supercid and simunlock says its simple enough to go back where in reality after attempting OTA something in the settings somewhere has changed and screwed it up.
The ROM I linked to isn't a custom ROM. Its stock HTC gingerbread with root.

Thanks had a looked more in detail at the rom you linked to and have to say I'm convinced and can't be bothered with OTA anymore lol Decided to stop sitting on the fence and throw myself at the dev communities mercy lol Those using the Easy Radio tool won't be able to go back to s-on unless rooted and to do so ensure that you haven't denied access to an unamed process called "Unknown" in your superuser app as this refers to the radio tools access.

solution of ur problem is to turn ur radio s-on simple.. mine works perfectly fine just installation error occurs which was solved ater factory reset and install OTA update.
I was attempting to downgrade and move back to complete stock (Rom, Recovery, S-On, all that)
and after flashing the stock recovery (i think) and rebooting, I lost all service connectivity.
I've since reflashed and re-rom'd a few times and am back to running CM9 and CWM
I've tried my SIM in another phone and i get service
I've also checked my APN's, should all be good.
When i go to Select a network operator it Searches for a minute or so and then says "Error while searching for networks"
Here is some info about my phone
BootLoader Screen:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

Any Idea's? Or info someone would need to help?
How old is your Sim card? I heard that SIMs over 3 years old may not work with the latest radio, as such you might have to get a new sim card from T-Mobile.
Its pretty new...
Also, it worked just fine with CM9... it only stopped working when i went to downgrade.

You had CM9 before downgrading? that's confusing, normally you downgrade before rooting and don't bother with downgrading ever again. If it's radio specific you may need to clear the EFS cache.
I was kind of following a guide to return to stock, but i think i might of skipped a step and that's what messed it up....
Okay, so i cleared the EFS cache using this guide
But still no success
my best guess would be to flash the radio, if this won't work there may be something else damaged during your unrooting process. always read up and be double sure you understand the process when you are changing firmware (radio/spl/etc)
