hello
I ve found a desire Z A7272 on ebay at a good price.
I wanno if it is a clone ?
What are the difference betwen this model and the other one ?
Is it possible to flash with a custom ROM ?
My goal is to buy it and then install ICS. I ve never installed customs roms but i have some experience in flashing other stuff.
Is there a stable customs roms, which one and how to install it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546915 ??)
I ve took a look to other thread but my lack of experience in this area brings me to ask the questions for confirmation because i think that everything is ok.
Thx.
The A7272 is the main model, there is also the A7275 which is the North AMerican version, only difference are the radio bands it operates on.
G2 - Band I (2100) and Band IV (1700/2100)
Desire Z - Band I (2100) and Band VIII (900)
NAM Desire Z (Bell) - Band II (1900) and Band V (850)
Any rom will work on all models (G2's need the DZ hboot for sense3+ roms though)
Here is a good guide for flashing/backing up, etc

I have the latest andromadus mimicry installed
Running good

Edit :
On the wiki, i read this.
Downgrading HTC Desire Z, T-Mobile G2 and Desire HD
For the 1.XX firmware HTC Desire Z follow this guide Downgrade DZ till step 12 and then come back.
For the 1.XX firmware HTC Desire HD follow this guide Downgrade HD and then come back.
For the 2.XX firmware HTC Desire Z/Desire HD and T-Mobile G2 follow this guide GUIDE Downgrade G2 2.13.531.8 (2.3.3 T-Mobile Rom w/ S-ON) & DZ 2.3.3 w/ S-ON" and come back. The history can be found in this thread New exploit works with Gingerbread! and Desire Z users see this posting of the thread Desire Z explanation.
Please use your brain when following these postings / guides. Especially make sure that you use a PC10IMG.zip for your device!
The phone will be in Android 2.2.
I don't understand why i have to downgrade ! And i do not even know what 1.XX and 2.XX means.
Sorry for the silly questions, i am a real noob
Up
I have no idea if the phone will work in France or not, I don't know what carriers are in France and which frequencies they operate on. You could surely find one carrier who will support the same frequencies.
The 1.xx and 2.xx refer to the current software version (not android version).
If the phone id on froyo (Android 2.2) it will be a 1.xx build, so you have to follow those instructions (unless you're already on build 1.3x)
You (might) have to downgrade as gfree (which does the actual unlocking) only works on certain exploitable radio and kernel versions. Newer ones are patched against it.

The phone is said to be unlocked, but i think it means SIM unlock to be used on any GSM provider network.

i have just noticed that i have an issue with the sd card !
it is not recognized, i have the message "Sd card blank or has unsupported file system"
The sd works on other phone, i tried 2 other sd same issue
I try to format from the phone, nothing happens
i start thinking i bought a phone that is a clone or something
SD slot could be bad, try and format it in a PC
Also, in case you missed it, the files needed should not be put on sdcard rather on PC. Then either change the path in environmental variables for adb or place the files needed (extracted) in the same folder as adb.exe

I tried to format in fat32 from my laptop : still does not work
I thought that the sd was mandatory to root and then install a custom rom !
If i read well, adb push su /sdcard/ means it will write something on the sd ?
From now i did
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
> adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
> adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
> adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/
> adb push root_psn /data/local/tmp/
but adb push su /sdcard/ does not work
( adb devices can be launched from everywhere but adb push ... msut be launched from c:\platform-tools)
Any ideas to know if my sd sslot is broken or not active or something ?

I would go for the 1.32 version because of the root restriction the 1.72 has
Quick question: How can I know what RUU was on my phone? I know what CID my phone had before I did S-OFF (it was HTC__032) and I know it wasn't branded. Also I know it was 1.32 version, but I don't remember radio version.
I narrowed it down to these two:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
but how can I be sure?
I don't need it now, but I want to download it just in case I need it for warranty.
Thanks.

I think there is no difference from warranty point of view. You could have updated your phone with the official HTC software and this shouldn't void the warranty.
One more thing though - I saw there are .405. ROMs which are branded. I think those are carrier unlocked ROMs but with the operators bloatware on them. So if you had one of these you should probably flash them if you need warranty services.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Thank you, you are right about update. Following that logic I could flash any ROM newer then this.
My device was partially branded. It had official carrier ringtone on SD card and bookmark shortcut to there website on desktop. Both of those things I deleted before I root-ed without any trouble so I believe that it won't be a problem to flash stock RUU if needed.
I was trying to root my WFS (S-On method with HTC unlocked bootloader) except I keep getting an error '130 Model ID' when running the correct RUU for my phone and can't figure out why.
HTC-A510a (Marvel)
S-On
Virgin Mobile (Canada)
2.3.3 (Andriod)
2.1 HTC Sense
Software Number: 1.36.666.5
- Yes, I have downloaded it multiple times to check if the file was corrupt
- Yes, all the pre-requisites are installed (JDK, Andriod SDK, HTC drivers etc)
- Yes, USB debugging is on
- No, there isn't a WWE RUU for Virgin Mobile that I can see
I would prefer to keep s-on if possible because (theoretically less to go wrong) although I am not a complete noob, I am close to it and this is my only phone.
Do I have to go back to the (old?) gold-card method, is there another way, or am I just missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if if I wasnt clear. No, my bootloader is not unlocked - that is what I am in the process of doing. When I follow the instructions for that provided by HTC/S-On Unlock Tutorial, the RUU that they provide will not unlock my bootloader and produces the error '130 Model ID Error' and then restarts my phone. The problem is that is the correct RUU doesnt work and as far as I can tell, it is the only one provided by HTC that works for a WFS and Virgin Mobile (Canada).
I understand that you can use other RUU's (sometimes) to unlock your bootloader, but that could cause some issues with my radio, yes? As I said before, it is my only phone and unlike ROMS if I messed something up with a radio, I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting.

I guess vedang81 is taking a break or something. Either way what he suggested (skipping flashing the RUU) didn't work. When I entered the cmd commands it gave me "[ERR]Command error!!!". Vedang81 thought that this meant I didn't have the files or they weren't in the right place, however I double checked everything (all files were downloaded from HTC Dev links and were in the correct folders). Several other threads (on other devices) seemed to indicate that that error was what happened when you didn't flash the RUU and therefore didn't have the updated hboot. I also looked at simonsimon34's HTC Wildfire SUtility but that says it requires your bootloader to say **locked** to begin with and mine doesn't.
Not sure where to go from here...

If your bootloader doesn't say **locked**, then it's already unlocked.
I recently came to US and purchased a t-Mob connection for my Wildfire S (bought in India)
My plan includes 4G data but I'm getting only Edge network.
When I place my SIM in another hand-set, I get 4G speed but its not working in my phone.
Anyone else faced this issue?
Pls message me if you have any solution for this.
T-mob guys dont have any idea about this. The say I should atleast get 3G.
My Wildfire-S is rooted.

oh thats bad.i have latest radio 7.53.39.15M
yeah you can port new radio might it ll help.
EDIT: i checked with gsmarena,wildfire s supported HSDPA 900 / 2100 frequency and t-mobile 3g works on 1700 MHz/2100 MHz so it should be working.
if nothing work check with service center.
hopefully you have tried verizon and other providers.

man you cant upgrade radio with cwm..
follow this link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018511use
and yeah might first universal method wont work so you need to use second one.
steps:
download latest radio ruu from post
download bl-tool from post
then use bl-tool to lock your bootloader and set supervision
then make goldcard
extract latest ruu on computer and see steps to copy rom.zip from temp(see advanced method)
rename zip to PG76IMG
put on sdcard and boot to hboot menu(remove battery and hold power button plus volume down)
then your phone will detect ruu and tell flash it self.
then you will see firsst hboot and radio will upgraded and when you see recovery screen again pull out battery.(keep in mind this step or you have to unlocked your bootloader again and root again and also flash recovery again because ruu will unrooted your phone)
this is only method because s-on only allowed to flash radio when your upgrading it with ruu,nothing else.
for goldcard:
you can find goldcard zip in mentioned post.
then download it and open it with administrator,put your sdcard in card reader and format it.
now put sdcard in phone and keep usb debugging on.
now use mmc0 or mmc1 which option works for you.(only one will work)
then copy CID to website mentioned in that tool download goldcard.img and patch your goldcard.
now your sdcard is goldcard.
put PG76IMG.zip on it and boot to hboot menu.else phone will do it.
keep in mind in flashing ruu first it ll ask and use volume button to yes or no. and then first ruu will flash radio and hboot then it ll show recovery screen again.there you can see hboot and radio is upgraded..now you can pull out battery if you dont wana loose your data,root,recovery.

Hy geeks!
I know I know... this post is suitable for htc desire hd radio thread post...
however I can' t post there yet because I' ve less than 10 posts.
I have a rooted and s-off htc desire hd with IceColdSandwitch 8.8 AOKP rom (based on android 4.0.3)
I' ve read a lot of posts about radio and ril but I still have some doubts.
I' ve installed and run GetRIL app from market to see if ril version matches radio drivers version, here results:
-------------------------
RIL -> 2.2.0018G
Baseband (Actual radio) -> 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Suggested radio -> 12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M
RiL and baseband don' t match
-------------------------
I haven' t a sense based rom and so I can' t flash rils (is it correct?)
Thant' s why the button 'Download and install ril' in GetRIL app is unclickable (grey colour) ?
I downloaded from htc desire hd radio thread 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M radio file,
I smoothly flashed it through fastboot on Ubuntu 12.10.
The phone works correctly and it seems better with this new radio.
Then I re-run GetRIL app and the result is:
-------------------------
RIL -> 2.2.0018G
Baseband (Actual radio) -> 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Suggested radio -> 12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M
RiL and baseband don' t match
-------------------------
I have checked under settings->info and the radio actual version is
the same detected by GetRIL (12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M)
So why after flash does 'U' appear at the end of baseband version?
Since GetRIL still stay that radio and ril don' t match I should download
12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M and flash it?
What do these fu___ng letters ('U' and 'P') mean?
I have my own doubts about flashing radios and rils but from what I read in your thread...it seems to me that you are trying to flash a ril for that cm9 rom your using and its not working correct ? I came from a LG optimus one, where it was v10 for froyo and v20 for gb and above if you wanted better signal. That was called basebands and I had to use a program called lgdmp tool to switch basebands but it was a one time occurrence...I wish I could help but maybe a more advanced user for this device will be able to shine some light for us...
Ps...so you say your getting better signal with that 65 radio, correct ?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
As long as the phone works well, don't worry about GetRIL. You should only flash RILs on GB/Froyo ROMs.

Ok, I won' t touch the ril!
Someone says that cooked roms don' t use RIL. Is it true?
If so is it a good idea to flash latest radio driver ? ( July 2012: Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M - AT&T Inspire 4G 3.20.502.52 (Latest) )
Do you have a link for the 65 radio .. I can't seem to find the thread on xda premium...all I have to do is rename the downloaded zip to pd98img and flash in hboot? Am I correct?

Here is the official radio thread for desire hd.
I downloaded 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M
Yes you can do so, but I suggest you flashing radio through fastboot because it' s safer.
Install fastboot and adb, in your dhd turn on usb debugging mode in settings -> development
Connect with usb, boot dhd in bootloader (power button + vol down).
Open consolle (with admin privileges) and type 'fastboot devices'.
It must display the dhd' s id.
Then type fastboot flash radio /path/to/radiofile/radio.img
Normal reboot and verify in setting-> info radio version
Before doing that install GetRIL in dhd and run it to see
suggested radio for your ril
Unfortunately I don't have a computer....well I'm using a sense rom right now, from what I heard rils aren't needed for cm9, cm10, etc....

Yes I discovered you' re right, ril just has to be flashed with sense based froyo and gingerbread roms! If you will flash a ril let me know how it works

I don't think I'll ever need to flash a ril... I'm not a huge fan of sense type roms, ironic right ? I only got the i4g because someone sold me one for 80 bucks and the specs were descent. I however do want to flash a radio but not right now, I'm using T-Mobile prepaid so I only get edge/2g..I don't really think switching my radio while using T-Mobile prepaid will do me much justice so I'll just wait til next week when I get on straight talk at&t. I'll finally be getting 4g speeds

Radio issue solved

I have checked under settings->info and the radio actual version is
the same detected by GetRIL (12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M)
So why after flash does 'U' appear at the end of baseband version?

Never surrender! After looking for the meaning of last letter in baseband version
I finally discovered it thanks to a Russian android blog
In /system partition there' s a file called build.prop
This file holds a lot (perhaps all?) of variables used by kernel
Each line is in the format variable = value
There' s a variable called ro.ril.hsxpa
Depending on which value you assign to this variable you will
see a different capital letter as the last letter in basaband version number
For exemple if I set it to '2' I will have 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
If I set it to '3' I will have 12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M
Possible values:
'0' -> UMTS only (NO HSPA)
'1' -> HSDPA (but no HSUPA)
'2' -> HSDPA + HSUPA
There are also other values but nobody seems to know what they do!
I set ro.ril.hsxpa = 3 and GetRil app congratulates saying ril and baseband match!
However I find my htc faster with ro.ril.hsxpa = 2
If you need to edit buid.prop remember you must have root permissions!
The easiest way it' s to use adb
On Linux:
Code:
sudo su
adb pull /system/build.prop /path/in/your/pc
adb shell // Start adb shell
su
remount // Unmount /system partition and remount it with read-write permissions
adb push /path/of/build.prop/in/your/pc /system/build.prop.bak
Now that you have saved a backup copy
you can edit build.prop in your pc and
overwrite it in your phone
Code:
adb push /path/of/build.prop/in/your/pc /system
If you don' t like adb so much I think you can do
everything in your htc with terminal and nano editor
with root permissions
Hello guys, I need a asap help and will be very thankful for guidance.
I recently bought a used HTC one M8 Gold 32GB, it is in pristine condition, just weeks used, but when I came home and did a reset I realized that it was a rooted phone. But then I discovered that there were some apps like Sprint Worldwide and there were many instances where I found Sprint written, (I have no SIM installed and neither do we have Sprint in our country). So I ended up assuming that it was rooted by the original user solely to unlock the device? I am currently in 4.4.2 and unable to update as it keeps stucking on checking screen. Now I want to revert the device to its original condition and need help doing that. I heard that it can be done by installing RUU so I went to:
htc . com / us / support/rom-downloads
and downloaded: 4.25.651.18 (assuming it is a Sprint)
and then placed it in the sdcard but after HBOOT takes some loading time, it just says invalid image. I have also tried renaming it with no hope.
the bootloader is Locked/ M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF.

First you need to post the results of fastboot getvar all. REMOVE your serial and IMEI numbers from the pasted info before posting. We need to see hopefully the firmware that is currently on the device.
If it is Sprint and you have downloaded the correct RUU file, you do NOT put it on the SD card, you leave it on your Windows PC, attach the device to the PC with USB cable and run the RUU as administrator in Windows. Before that, download HTC Sync Manager and let it install, then delete it. It will leave behind the HTC drivers which you need.

It's definitely Sprint but the firmware is ancient. Run the RUU file and hopefully it will go thru. If not, we'll have to find a way to update your firmware one at a time, but as you are S-OFF it will be easy enough as long as we can find the firmwares.
Sprint RUU can be found Here, this is the latest Lollipop version.
Get your phone into fastboot mode and simply run the RUU .exe file while your phone is plugged into the computer via USB.

It should all be there. When you connect to a data network, what symbol shows on the status bar?

I have no idea. I can change my symbol using Xposed modules, though normally mine chows 3G or H. Have you looked in settings/mobile data/network mode? Currently mine shows3G only, 2G/3G auto and 2G/3G/4G auto.

Sprint phones are different from a lot of others. I forgot about CDMA. Mine is GSM. Sorry I can't help further.

It won't work. If your device is CDMA and mine is GSM, you could brick your device totally.

Sprint is CDMA. No doubt about it. The CDMA version M8 supports CDMA, GSM and HSPA, but not as many HSPA bands as the "pure" GSM M8 (basically any version except Sprint and Verizon).
What bands does your carrier use for 3G (HSPA)? I'm guessing that your carrier uses bands not supported by the Sprint version. In which case, you are out of luck. The Sprint (or Verizon) version is not recommended for anyone outside the US, and not on the specific (Sprint or Verizon) carrier.
You can't flash RUU, radio, or firmware from other versions to Sprint (even with s-off). As mentioned, the flash will either fail or brick the phone.

I have changed my CID and MID. And btw can any one of you tell why the International version + Developer/Unlocked are still on 5.0.1 unlike the (my) Sprint version's 5.0.2 ...? Due to this issue, currently I am unable to flash any other lower (but international for 3G support) version of RUU exe regardless of me being on compatible CID/MID.

Never ever install an intl version/dev edition to your sprint device. It may brick it.
Where is your region currently ? Which country ?
Maybe change of these helps :

I guess, it will not brick because I have changed my CID and MID according to the RUU version. Correct me if I am wrong?
I live in Asia, Pakistan.

God almighty man, READ WHAT HE SAYS. You cannot and should not flash WWE anything on a Sprint device. What part of that do you NOT UNDERSTAND?
