I have tried several times to flash the new baseband radio. With 4EXT and I have tried rename file and fastreboot. Non works.
With 4ext I get massage I'm not allowed to flash etc ..
Am I missing something?
This will be the first radio I flash..I'm still on stock.

You can flash a new radio file .zip via CWR. It's very simple
I need to install clockwork recovery to be able to flash radio? I thought 4ext touch could do the job as well

Any recovery can.
Depending on your hboot, you may not be able to flash radio via recovery.
Flashing via fastboot is always better though.
I tried changing the zip file name and put it in sd card then boot phone into fastrecovery by holding back button and boot. But it doesn't recognize the file.... So I don't get any choice.

That's your problem. You can't flash radio via recovery with that hboot. You have to do it via fastboot.
via xda app
Ok.... Did some searching.. Found out i had to extract the zip then flash the img file. Am i able to flash back and forth between radio versions. Also.. Do i need to reinstall the rom after the flash?

No need to reflash roms after radio change. A general rule to follow is that you don't mess with your radio if you don't have problems with your phone. One wrong move during flashing and it can brick your phone.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless like me, you have balls of steel and are still amazed that after what you've put your phone through over the years it still functions. Hell, it even survived me accidentally dropping it.... err.. against the err... wall...

I've readseveral threads over and over trying to find a solution to my problem. I was trying to flash a ROM and did the required data and cache wipe. After I downloaded the ROM The phone rebooted and now it stuck on HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery and press the volume down and power button to get into recovery. Once I get into recovery and it loads I get asked if I want to update RADIO_V2 and I can select yes or no. Well I tried both and no luck I can not get into recovery the option is not there. Here is my phone recovery info:
VisionPVT ENG S-off
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.08.04.16_M
eMMC-boot

Any help please or am I Bricked?
You have the ENG HBOOT installed...that's a good thing. So, this will allow you to reflash the recovery image from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
You need to delete the update zip or pc10img. zip on your sd card. I think its not letting you go through recovery because its reading something in your sdcard.

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.
And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Yup Followed everything. I have done this all on my incredible 100 times. So I am aware of the steps to get Roms going.
Wiped all user data?
I just had this briefly with a Desire PVT4, had forgotten to wipe all user data prior to flashnig ROM's...?

Same as you did for Getting CM7R2 HBoot
1. Download PB99IMG_stock.zip from Alpharev's site.
2. then rename it as PB99IMG.zip and place it in root of your SD card
3. Power off then Powerup your Phone with Volume Down + Power (Boot in Bootloader) there select Yes when asked for updating HBoot and Restart.
4. Goto Recover format /system
5. Restore Nandroid Backup or Flash new ROM.

maybe u have to flash something called downgrader first, just at the bottom of the list of all those hoots.
Use Fastboot commander, that`s the best and most powerful one.

The downgrader allows a RUU to install as it checks for the HBOOT version so it doesn't flash over a newer version.
I have not used Android Flasher. I have never had any issues using Fastboot commander for switching between stock, CM 7, oxygen and dGB HBOOTs.
You are using the .img file and not the .zip right?

No way? Really? Could I have meant the relative HBOOTs with the same descriptors numbnuts? I think that might be the case.
Yes, do google AlphaRev and follow the instructions. See the table that describes the partition tables (based on the ROMs for which they were created) and pay attention to whether you are using the img or zip.

Hi all
I am on HBOOT-0.80.0000 and trying to upgrade to another one to use the newer ROMS properly and no matter which PB99IMG I choose e.g. PB99IMG_oxygenr2 or PB99IMG_cm7r2 and place these in the root of my SD card renamed as PB99IMG.zip I don't get the option to overwrite or anything. The fastboot loooks at the file as it says Checking.... Then it just goes back around to the FASTBOOT option???

Once you place the PB99IMG.zip on root of your SD card it will not ask you to override anything unless and until you had placed it before. Then boot into fastboot to flash the zip and it will ask you to update hboot you need to select yes by doing volume down button. Then it will ask you to reboot into bootloader select yes again, and you are done flashing the hboot.

Why are u trying to get stock recovery? you can flash a stock rooted rom, and you will probably get stock recovery or flash stock rom, you will lose root but not S-OFF.
Flash the latest ruu from your computer and root with superoneclick.

You just need to extract it using adb now then you can reflash your own favourite and post the extracted recovery here...

The kernel must be compatible with the ROM. Usually, Sense version and Android version need to match.

yes The Kernel In the .zip format can be flashed in two steps.
First Flash The Zip File In Recovery
Then Flash Boot.img via Fastboot,fastboot flash boot boot.img

What's the first step for?
I think the whole point of this thread was the op wants to try different kernel with existing Rom on the phone using a kernel.zip .
My original answer was if your s-on you can't flash a new kernel.
What I didn't however include is you can't do it via recovery, using a downloaded kernel.zip which was my mistake. But I would have thought that was obvious, because that was the original question.

According to me,The Flash Zip is required to place the files in the system directories...
It would be the same reason you have to flash the boot.IMG manually after flashing a Rom from recovery (cwm, 4ext etc) because it doesn't get flashed to the boot, same reason kernel doesn't flash via recovery. HTC unlock but still s-on doesn't allow you to mess with kernel directly or via recovery except using fastboot.
Atleast that's my understanding.
May I also add my own personal experience, I went straight to htcdev to unlock my phone, my experience with my HTC legend gave me the knowledge to do it without issue except the boot.img which through me a little. Long story short after flashing Rom and boot.img I wanted to try new kernel but it wouldn't work then I used google and found out via a different forum site the reason, which is HTC'S official unlock does not allow access to kernel with s-on....
