Hello
I am on T-mobile UK, its branded, with hboot 0.75.0000.
I have rooted it using unrevoked 3.21 RC.
I want to try LeeDrOiD v2.1, but it requires a new radio.
Its a GSM desire, currently on radio 4.08.00.09, if i flash this "32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23.zip", will it work?
Find the radio image you're on first, then just give it a go! If it doesn't work then you can always go back to the original one

Glad it worked out for you this time. But in future be very careful. Flashing a radio not intended for your device is very dangerous. It will make your phone an unrecoverable brick. An RUU would be useless.
On the other hand as long as you know the radio is for your device then all is well!
I suppose what I'm trying to say is, be careful with radios!
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.
Thanks

You need to find the Telus RUU for your phone. Did you check exactly which version of the ROM you were running when you bought the phone?
Here's the current Telus RUU, no idea if it'll work though

i just got the phone yesterday and got the root working. my software info says the following
android 2.2
baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
kernel version 2.6.32.15-g5d39305
[email protected] #1
software number 2.25.661.2
browser vcersion webkit 3.1
i just did a stock nandroid backup.
i keep tryin to donwload that but it keep failing. and what program would i use to flash that?
alsot ive been readin about flashing a custom rom and the words goldcard keep poppin up. is this something i need b4 i flash a new rom? and which rom would u suggest?
An RUU is an .exe so you just run it in Windows, maybe should've read up on this before rooting blindly
Quick Google of the file name gave another link, search next time:

k im sry i didnt google 1st but i was pro with my sgs and figured it was relatively the same. my phone is working perfect still i just wanted the stock just incase something unforseen happens down the road. so to reflash to stock is it the same as flashing root? just open the app , put phone in debug and hook to pc? and also can u help me figure out if i need a goldcard? and maybe a good custom rom?
a. No, you don't need a gold card to flash the correct ROM for your device
b.
1. Connect phone in FASTBOOT (turn it on holding the back button)
2. Run the RUU
Hi,
I just flashed a 2.3.3 stock-rooted ROM and well, as everyone is saying, the battery is draining way too fast!
On the actual post where i got the ROM, they provide a radio, but im a little curious about this who radio thingy.
1- I have a nandroid, restoring will bring back old radio?
2- is there a way to backup the radio if the answer to question1 is NO
3- what are the risks, and does it happen alot?, or is it a rare case?
4- they say it can brick the phone, is there any possible way to get out of that state?
1- I have a nandroid, restoring will bring back old radio?
No
2- is there a way to backup the radio if the answer to question1 is NO
Download your original radio from this thread
3- what are the risks, and does it happen alot?, or is it a rare case?
Just read the Radio Thread.
4- they say it can brick the phone, is there any possible way to get out of that state?
Once it is bricked, just send it for warranty. Most probably, they will change with a new one since they can't really know what you have done to the phone.
Hmmm, if it gets bricked, then i wont have my phone for MONTHS! since im in a different country than where i brought it, and i dont have HTC support here.
anyway, i couldnt find my radio type in the link you gave me - mine being:
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3
but ofc this is the one that came with the 1.32 FW when i was degrading, so can i just extract the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file and the flash it? or will it cause problems?
You don't (can't) flash radio's in the same way as a ROM. Read the radio thread.
PD98IMG or the safer method IMO is fastboot (search if unsure what fastboot is).
Sent from my Ericsson T39m
na, i know what fastboot is....
but what im saying is...say i update to a new radio, and its worse than the last, can't i just take the radio.img from the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip file and use fastboot to flash it back?
Or say i found the 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3.zip radio file, can i flash that?
OR is the only way to go back to the radio by flashing a RUU?(because i heard that installs a new radio).
i have radio and eng S-OFF.

Yes.
The great thing about Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF is it allows you to play with radio's.
Just to clarify, and this is aimed at others new to all this, the term "flash" in this case is referring to using fastboot command (think of it like adb but with phone in HBOOT - put very simplistically) to push the file to the phone.
kol man, thanks, ...
i think the 1st method would work, cuz at the end of the day, when flashing the whole PD98IMG.zip it flashes the radio along with other stuff ... so just taking it out would, i presume, would work ...
i'll update my radio soon, maybe, and if its bad, then i'll try the method! ...
No worries.
In theory method one should be ok as the zip is essentially a bundle of files and scripts. The only reason for hesitation is some .img files are slightly modified specifically for us with PD98IMG files.
But if it does work (and hopefully if not you don't get a brick) that would be good news as I often hunt down non PD98IMG versions of things and it would save me some effort.
Please, if not too much trouble, do keep us updated (no pun).
wait .... by doing that i can get it bricked?!!?!?!?!? loool
then i guess im not doing it!, lol, im still in love with my desire hd!!!
IF, a BIG IF, the radio.img file within a ROM PD98IMG file has been tweaked in some way there could be a risk that pushing the file through fastboot could brick the phone. Doing anything with Radio files is possible the most dangerous thing you can do (certainly it's the only thing I do frequently that still makes me hold my breath).
My advice would be, if there is a "normal" zip file of the radio I'd take that and push it via fastboot (after checking the md5hash).
That may be an answer, see if the md5hash of the radio.img is the same from both sources.
i cant find my original exact radio.
i have found some radio near my current one( 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3) but they have a difference in the letters (i.e. Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M - without the 'U' and its .26_M, no M3 or .15)
whats the difference, and what do they mean? -- i googled this but couldnt find an answer.
I have a question for radio.
(will borow these theme, if you dont mind)
I have ship s-off (i read that i can't flash radio becouse of this)
my Radio is 26.03.02.15_M3
This is an old version, and i would like to have a new version, becouse i have a lot of problems by flashing newer custom roms, wich have other radios recomended i quess :? ?
1. question: Is possible that i have problems flashing new rooms becouse i have an old radio ?
2. question: how to get from ship s-off to eng s-off? The standard root procedure dont work :s
Thanx for answers

You NEED Radio (ship) S-OFF (as a start)

No. But some ROM's work better with more up to date radio. What ROM are you wishing to try?

Honest answer is I am unsure other than various protocols by various networks / manufactures (The "U" ROM I believe was provided by a specific network). There is something in there that determines if it is specific to HSDPA vs EDGE etc. but again, my memory fails me.
If you're willing to go on say so alone go for the second one as that's been tested thoroughly however, it is old so if you feel your signal, wifi, GPS isn't as good as it should be and when you're feeling more confident it could be worth trying some of the more recent ones
[EDIT]
Going back to something I said earlier, a PD98IMG file can be JUST a radio. If you don't want to use fastboot commands then here is a thread that contains PD98IMG versions of the radios.

Not every ROM (and with it the Kernel) and especially home launcher apps are happy with resolution changes. Whenever you experience bugs like this the first step is reset things like resolution and then if still bugs remove any launcher you have added the ROM.
ARHD (Revolution) is a fantastic ROM and should be bug free.
Try LeeDroids as that is my favourite and I've never had a problem with it.

I have flash to the eng s-off now
I see taht a lot of rooms have problems with resolution settings, (i am a litlle angry becouse the resolution on standard sense display is like the people are blind )
That is why i use an adw louncher, and on 2.2 ARHD everything work perfect..
i hope that i will solve the problem with radio, (if not i wil goo to standard density)
ok, thank you very much for the help..

The radio has nothing to do with your bugs.
The radio controls mobile signal, wifi, gps and bluetooth.
Hey guys,
i've updated the radio to 32.56.0032U_5.17.05.23. from this time i got hard problems. the wlan turns on and off all the time, and if i want to go in the wlan-settings the device freezes, if i install an app the device freezes too, well actually it freezes at everything lol. even a ruu cant delete the s-off.
is it bricked? or what is this?
i hope you guys could help me
Lol bricked. Such an over used word nowadays. Just flash an older radio.
yea the ruu put an older radio on, but still doesnt work.
and why doesnt the ruu remove s-off?
If you got the newer hboots then you will need the downgrader hboot to downgrade.
Swyped...
so i did a downgrade, but s-off and its hboot is still there....
i got it fixed, mods can close/delete the thread
Tell us first what you did exactly to fix your problem, that might help someone else in the future.
