[Q] Can I flash?

After holding vol down + boot key I get this:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.85.2007 (PD9810000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.04.02.05_M2
SYSTEM INFO:
OS Ver-1.39.161.1
In the phone's settings I found this:
Kernel 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod
Android version 2.3.1
Mod version CM7-RC0-DHD-PNK14
Compilation number GRH78
I have visionary installed and a console emulator, I can su, so the device is rooted. But I want to do an S-OFF. I tried it and it told me that I'm running on an unsupported kernel. I believe that it's because of the cyanogen mod installed instead of a stock rom.
What can I do in order to be able to do a S-OFF? What should I flash? How? Where do I get it?
Regards

Someone else may be able to correct me, but in the fist line, your phone already told you that it is S-OFF, hence why it is not letting you do this again, probably not down to the kernel you are running.

What do you want to flash? A new radio? a different rom? Did you want to upgrade your version of cyanogenmod to the latest version. Download link and instructions for installing Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 RC4
Desire HD Radio thread on XDA-Developers
Hope this is of some use.

It is actually down to the kernel, please read the tool's requirements.. But that being said, you already have at least ENG S-OFF. You can check radio S-OFF in bootloader's system info, if the CID is 11111111, you have it.
To get radio S-OFF, flash Raidroid stockify series ROM and then run the tool again. You also have to get older radio, read the requirements...

I checked my CID and it says VODAP304, so it's a branded device.
I searched the forums for Radroid stockify ROM and I found this thread, but the info says "These ROMs are simply debranded and rooted stock roms...".
Can I flash a debranded ROM on a branded device? Also, there are no requirements in that thread, so I'm noot really sure what radio should I get. In fact, there are a few ROMs and I don't know which one is the correct for my phone.
One last thing, I made a goldcard, because I red that that's a requirement in order to flash ROMs to a branded device. Am I right?
Regards

Hi, as you have ENG S-OFF and clockworkmod, the branded CID does not affect anything. Raidroid does not have requirements. Every DHD ROM is compatible with every DHD device.
If you want to use my radio S-OFF tool, get the radio I recommend in my tool's thread.

I found a quick guide here and a detailed guide here about how to flash a radio. But they both say that my device must be radio s-off and eng s-off, and my device is only eng s-off, right? (I'm not sure about that, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
So, in order to flash a radio I need to do a radio s-off, but I'm not able because of the kernel that I'm using.
What should I do? Is it safe to flash a Raidroid stockift ROM, then flash the radio that you recommend in the radio s-off thread, and then do the radio s-off?
f that's not the way, could you tell me what to do first?
Regards

Yep, do it like this:
Download & flash Raidroid 1.32.405.6
Flash older radio, do not care about radio s-off
Get radio S-OFF using my tool
Flash any radio & ROM you like

I'm flashing the ROM right now. Should I do a full wipe? (I'm looking this guide)

It is always good to do that.

Great! I have been doing this all day, and I finally made it!
Now I'm planing to install the Android Revolution HD 4 ROM, so I'll make a full wipe again, but what if next month there is a 4.0.1? Should I do another full wipe?
Anyways, that is just a small question, as everything else went perfect. Thank you so much for you support!
Regards

Well it depends, it is always good to do a full wipe.. Mike will give instructions about that when the time comes. Full wipe is not always necessary.

Flash New Radio

After searching the threads on the forum a lot refer to this post here on how to flash a new radio. However, I'm sure I read somewhere that this method might now be outdated and a new radio can be simply flashed direct from the SD Card on the phone. Is this correct? If so, is it flashed in the same way as a new ROM?

Yes you can just install the zip like a rom. Please don't touch,move,... the device while the rom is installed. Let it on the table,... until it's rebootet. Otherwise it could be that something works not like it should be.

you can flash a new radio from the SC card just like a ROM but ONLY if you have an HBOOT with a /cache of more than 30MB. If it's smaller than that, attempting it this way will brick your phone. If you've never modified your HBOOT, which I'm guessing you haven't, then you will be fine flashing from the SD card.
If your HBOOT had been changed and the /cache is too small, like on the Oxygen or CM7 ones, then you must do it through fastboot.

How do I check my HBOOT Cache?
EDIT: My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001

If you've s-off'd your Desire using the alpharav.nl software and then flashed a new partition table, that's how you alter the /cache size. It doesn't sound like you've done that yet so you're stock /cache will be fine to flash from the SD card.

If you've s-off'd your can use AndroidFlasher to flash new radio at any time.
10 seconds and you have new radio!

You won't brick your phone, it just won't install. I had the CM7 HBOOT and tried flashign radio through recovery and it was just a failed installation (so i S-OFF'd).

Ok, so now I've S-Off'd my Desire the process appears to have changed the HBoot version to a much later number than before. It now shows HBOOT 6.93.1002 where before it was 0.75.0000. Will this have changed my cache? I'm worried now about flashing the new radio in case the cache size has changed. Where can I check the cache size?
EDIT: No need for me to check the cache size because I successfully flashed the latest radio now. I used AndroidFlasher, which was very simple to use. Thanks for all the advice

If I want to revert back to my previous radio (basically if I see no difference or worse performance with the latest radio) is the process as simple as just reflashing or is there something else I would have to do to "downgrade" the radio?

Should be the same as upgrading to new one.

Did you check the md5 checksum before flashing? If the md5 matches then use the method bortak mentions above or I used Android Flasher. Try it again but ensure you follow the instructions given earlier to the letter.

Working!!!

[Q]How to flash Radio and HBOOT

Hello. I want to make sure that the method I read about of flashing the Radio is correct, since this could permanently brick my device.
I have ROOT and S-OFF but nu custom hboot yet. My partitions are stock.
I. To flash a RADIO:
1. Go into recovery
2. Choose install zip from sd
3. Choose zip from sd
4. Confirm
5. Reboot
II. If later I want to flash a custom HBOOT:
1. Download the HBOOT I want (and rename it to PB99IMG.zip)
2. Put it on root of SD card
3. Boot into bootloader (Volume Down + Power)
4. It will ask If I want to upgrade the HBOOT - Select Yes
5. It will reboot on it's own ???
6. Install ROM
Check MD5 of Radio and ROM.
Also I'm unable to check the MD5 of the zip file I've downloaded from AlphaRev - PB99IMG.zip, because it doesn't match. Is this ok?
Are these steps correct?
If there are also other way's I'm more than gladly to know.
I know about AndroidFlasher, but I don't want to risk upgrading from PC, cause lately there were some power down's of the electricity I don't want to risk to happen when I'm in the middle of flashing something as important as Radio or HBOOT.
Thank you for all your help.
L.E.: When do I need to flash the HBOOT downgrader? When I want to go from one HBOOT to another do I always have to first flash the downgrader and then the HBOOT, or there are only certain HBOOT's that I have to apply this prior to installing another HBOOT?

Thanks. I know about this, because I already flashed a ROM (CyanogenMod 7), and I know it is always a necessity to do a full Wipe, especially when you're coming from another ROM.

To check the md5sum you have to extract the hboot.img from the downloaded pm99img.zip file and compare its to the one you can find on the homepage.
Nevetheless, I highly recommend to flash new hboot with fastboot, because the method with the pb99img.zip does not work very often.
Download the image you want, for example the cm7 r2 hboot (bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img). Store it anywere you want, I recommend a place where you can go very easily, maybe partition C.
Check the md5sum!!!!
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (start it with pressed back and power button). Now start cmd in windows, connect phone to computer and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
The output should be:
Code:
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxxxxx device
Instead of xxxxxxxx you should see the serial number of your phone. If it's so, enter the following comments:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Now you have new hboot (in this example cm7r2.) In the first line of your bootloader you should see "AlphaRev Cm7r2".

Thank you. I'll save this text for further uses. So this is the best way to flash another HBOOT.
The method to flash the radios is good?
Thanks.

personally I find it A LOT easier and quicker to use fastboot tools such as fastboot commander. I think it's also better for novice users, and it gives you functions that novice users may not know when it comes to using fastboot with cmd.

Thanks. I am very aware that I shouldn't flash any file that hasn't the right MD5, but thank you for repeating it one more time.
So I've a looked more around and found out that flashing the Radio is as I described it. So I'll take my time now to flash the new Radio (5.17.05.08) and then the new ROM.
Still one question remained unanswered. If someone could help me:

Alpharev uploaded r2 of the hboots for cm7 and oxygen. These two hboots have a protection, that they cannot be overwritten. So if you are using one of these hboots, you have to flash hboot downgrader before you can flash a new hboot.

I have read this thread before I ROOT-ed my phone. It would probably be more easy to flash either Radio or HBOOT through fastboot, but since I've got the problem I mentioned about in first post, I don't want to take the risk. What if the power goes down when I'm in the middle of flashing...then there goes down the phone too
I'll try the fastboot command when I can use my GF's laptop.

Thank you very much.
So to use the HBOOT Downgrader I have to have first one of the two (either Bravo Oxygen r2 or Bravo CM7 r2), and then if I want to put another HBOOT: Flash HBOOT Downgrader ---> Flash HBOOT Bravo Stock ---> Flash Other HBOOT.
Ok. Now I got it al sorted out.
Thanks for all the help.

The step with stock hboot is not needed. You can flash downgrader and then directly the new hboot. The downgrader deletes all partitions.

you only need to flash the HBOOT downgrader from alpharev when you are using a RUU to unroot your phone. Aplharev's HBOOT's are designed so that a RUU will not overwrite the HBOOT - untill you downgrade it using the downgrade utility.

THX a billion!
Im on cm7r2 and want to reverse to stock.
Was looking for exactly this answer!
I to read somewhere that someone just flashes the hboots that he wants,
but not talking about downgrader-use (couldnt find it again - so searched for something like this answer!). And Alpharev dont say anything about
using the downgrader only this:
"Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
So downgrader is only nesccesary if wanting to go stock with a RUU or U want to get OTA.
So, UsManyDead... whatever hboot U use, just flash the next hboot U want.
(remember backup and all that sht. )

Well... Im on cm7r2 and I will try flashing stock hboot now,
so hang on for 5-10 min, and Ill let U know, if the proces
of NOT using the downgrader is good or not...
Hang on..........

Flashed BRAVO stock WITHOUT downgrader... succes!
From CM7 R2 to STOCK in a splitsecond!
Before flash: Alpharev cm7 r2
After flash: Alpharev

Thanks a lot man. It's finally sorted out.

HTC Desire -- can't go to Hboot

Hello! I have the strangest problem, and wondered if someone could help.
I received a present from a friend, a second-hand HTC Desire GSM, but it didn't have stock Android and was running on a custom ROM installed on the SDCard. I wanted to install CyanogenMod on the phone itself (not the SD Card) and tried to with the phone by reading up details online. This is my first time with an Android phone, and I'm not sure what I did, but now I'm unable to boot into Hboot recovery.
I think the problem began when I installed the file "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865" from a certain website, and ever since I can't seem to flash the phone with another RUU. Can someone please help me make the phone usable again? I'll post the details below based on what I could find as of recent:
AlphaRev Oxygen r2
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1882
M1CROP-831D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

You are SOFF.
Follow these steps in sequence
1. Get the stock hboot from alpharev.nl and flash it from fastboot
2. Get the 2.3 RUU from htcdev and run it from PC with phone connected with USB
3. Flash the 4ext recovery from fastboot.
4. Flash any custom rooted rom from recovery

Please stop telling people to flash stock hboot over every other custom hboot, cause most of the time thet will succed but eventualy someone will end up with hboot brick. It is recommended to flash downgrade hboot prior flashing any other.
In his case he doesn't need to run RUU, he is s-off so all he needs is a different hboot (oxygen has a lack of space on system partition), 4ext img from Jmcclue's thread that can both be flashed via fastboot and then a personal choice of rom.

I dont recall telling people to flash stock hboot before this. I had noticed that he has got a oxygen r2 hboot. It is perfectly safe to flash the alpharev stock hboot over this. I would only use the downgrader to remove write protection from my hboot so that when I run the RUU I get SON.
The OP also stated that he is not sure what he has done so I would run the 2.3 RUU just so that he can work from known territory.

hes S-OFF with no recovery and has CM rom on sdcard soo like nloooo says flash recovery and then he can flash the rom on sdcard after a full wipe (if it fits on Oxygen r2 hboot) or change hboots and flash new rom if he wants

Hi All,
I've 10.1-20130215-UNOFFICIAL-vijendra installed on my HTC desire. I am receiving garbled voice in phone reception so I decided to upgrade my Radio ROM, I thought it could solve my problem but after downloading when I am trying to install Radio ROM via 4EXT recovery it is not allowing me to install it.
Kindly help how can I install new Radio ROM on my desire and which one is good?
I will be really thankful if ROM link will be provided.

You flash the radio through fastboot.
If you don't have fastboot installed, check my sig.
Use this command:
"fastboot flash radio <path>"

Not by newer recoveries. CWM 2.5.0.7 could do it.

I made a PB99IMG.zip to flash radio to see if it could be done and it would work coz in bootloader it asks to update Radio_v2? BUT... i didnt have the balls to press up haha. I already had lastest radio installed so didnt chance it, but id say it would be fine.

Isn't updating radio_v2 practically updating radio? A ruu updates a radio by updating radio_v2.
You need a lab rat.

I thought radio can be flashed via recovery too if its in a zip format. Isn't it?

yep, old cwm 2.5.0.7 could flash radio by zip
you also need to be on an hboot with at least 25MB cache partition, such as stock hboot, as the radio gets extracted temporarily into the cache partition (stock hboot has 40MB cache partition, most popular alpharev hboots have only 5MB cache)
flash the radio.img through fastboot is always recommended as the safest way, and can be done on any hboot afaik. find and verify the md5 sums before flashing any radio.img, as a bad radio flash = proper brick!

Which Radio version?

You flash the radio through fastboot.
If you don't have fastboot installed, check my sig.
Use this command:
"fastboot flash radio <path>"

Thanks for your reply, Kindly tell which radio version should I install, which one is the most stable and problem free.
If it is possible for you then kindly send me the link.

Flash the one that says latest. Extract the zip file and flash "radio.img" via fastboot commands like posted above.
