[Q] Radio Downgrade without wipe/RUU-reset? (AMOLED-Desire, HBOOT 0.80.000, S-ON!)

Hey folks,
is it somehow possible to downgrade the radio to an older one without wiping or resetting the whole phone via RUU?
I just tried to flash an older one over the current radio image and it doesn't seem to work
Why do I want to downgrade anyways?
My phone crashs all the time. Especially when it's connected to the original charger from HTC (1000mA) and I try to use an app. Or when I use several apps at the same time, when not charging.
It could be the hardware-failure, everybody is talking about lately...
BUT I found out that everything is fine with the performance and stability of the phone, when I am using it in airplane-mode.
Everything was fine a few month backs, when I was using some older radios and ROMs.
The crashs seem to be somehow connected to mobile data usage (2g/3g). I've heard that some radios might be "better" in some regions as others. I'm from Germany, so maybe this is causing the instabilities.
I thought it is worth a try, before complaining hat HTC ​
Starting situation:
rooted AMOLED Desire (HBOOT 0.80.000 + S-ON)
AmonRa Recovery v2.0.1
Redux v1.1.1
vorkKernel 2.6.37.2 (CFS, SVS)
Radio 32.54.00.32_5.14.05.17
Thank you guys

You need to use the radio zips from recovery when you are s-on.

Most likely to be hardware failure. Send it to HTC for motherboard change. Search for desire overheating and rebooting on its own in the forums and see if symptoms match. Had mine replaced

have done that, but it doesn't affect any downgrade.

How have you exactly done it? And you sure you didn't get any errors in recovery?

Downloaded old radio from the thread here on xda
copied to SD
booted into AmonRa Recovery
flashed the zip directly from sd
no erros, flashing susscessful (something like that displayed)
selected "reboot phone"
As always the normale procedure...
except that this time the ROM was booted after leaving the recovery, instead of the regularly shown "radio-installation-box-logo"...

The phone is running since two days straight without any crash and exceptional battery life, heavy usage...the only downside...mobile data is deactivated.
Does nobody know how to downgrade the radio?
Thanks.

Actually after trying the senventh Radio (no ****!) I succeeded
The only downgrade was possible with the "32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2" radio.
And since then my phone is running stable again! Amazing

[Q] Flashing H-BOOTS

So i flashed the Desire Z H-BOOT on my T-Mobile G2 so I can use sense UI (specifically sense 4.0). Th radio is outdated on the H-BOOT I used and wanted to upgrade. I don't know if this would be a noob question, but can I just flash the regular radio that the G2 gets in the OTA (26.13.04.19_M) or is there a specific radio for the Desire Z so I can use that? I had a problem where I can only hear calls when a headset is plugged in or speaker is turned on. I think its the radio but i searched everywhere and can't find a solution to my problem...
Thanks in advance!

There is a radio thread in the developement forum with all the files and instructions you need, follow them closely. You can flash whichever radio you want in that thread and I don't think there is a clear way to tell which is "best" unless you know someone in your area that has tested the different radios, it depends on your location, carrier, distance from tower, etc. Some give more siganl but drain battery faster, some are battery meisters but siganal is not so good. Try a few and see what works best for you, just remember to follow the instructions carefully.

hey man thanks for the reply.
i dont know if there are specific radios for the desire z cuz i have the desire z hboot. the radio i flashed is the same one i had when i had the g2 hboot. you think that their might be a radio specifically for the desire z or is the hboot outdated?? ill have to look into that.
thanks again for the reply!

No, there are no specific radios just for the desire z. I have the eng hboot 0.84.2000 for the desire z installed, my phone is through Bell Canada but I actually get better reception/battery with a T-Mobile radio, don't remember which one at the moment(been a few months sinse I flashed it). Not sure but I think that is the only eng hboot available, maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in....

Alright thanks bud! I guess my proble might be with the actual hboot. I'll see if I can find an updated version. You know any xda posts where I can find all of the desire z hboots??
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA

No expert on this, but I don't think an outdated Hboot would cause your earpiece issue. I've never changed from the stock Desire Z Hboot on my phone (purchased Dec 2010) and never had any such issues over multiple ROMs.
Its not clear from your OP, did you flash a new ROM yet, or what ROM are you on? Did you wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before flashing the new ROM?

Agree with Redpoint73,earpiece issue is ROM or hardware,I assume you also wiped the EFS data ? Good practise but not sure will help your problem, no need to "update" your hboot, nothing to be gained.
Wipe your cache and see if that helps,if not try a different ROM ILWT CM 7 is a good effort

I know it isnt a hardware problem because ive never dropped my phone into any liquids, nor have i dropped it from a large height. I was running the ICS JIBwich rom thats sense 4.0. Thats when I noticed the problem. I then restored one of my backups (the instructions from virtuousrom.com told me to) and i still had the problem. Im on CM9 beta and still have the problem.
Im pretty sure its a software issue because i saw some other people have the same problem when migrating to the desire z hboot from the g2 one.
i think im just gonna go back the g2 hboot and then try again with the desire z hboot another time. I just want a stable ICS rom wether its sense or not lol. the sense rom was very stable up to the point where i noticed the earpiece problem.
Thanks for the reply though!
EDIT APRIL 25,2012: So i went back to the G2 HBOOT and still have the issue. It can't be a hardware problem because it happened right after I installed the Desire Z HBOOT. Right now im using the G2 Slim v1.6 ROM and i still have the issue. I saw somewhere that someone was running android 2.2 and when updated the problem was fixed, but I want to keep my rooted phone.
Anyway, thanks for your help and Ill keep searching for a solution to my problem.

26.03.02.26_m would be the old radio, which technically should work fine in the unofficial CM9, AOKP, or Virtuous rom. (Though the virtuous/sense roms require a desire z hboot for the larger /system partition, but fine for CM9/AOKP/AOSP)
the radio in my signature is the new radio, but I don't think that would be the problem, because it should work with the old radio (the new one requires an update to the radio/gps ril file which is linked in the first post of say CM9 RC2)
When you installed a new rom, did you make sure to do a factory-reset, wipe cache, etc before flashing the new rom via the recovery?

What recovery are you using?
By the way, one possible suggestion I could probably make (it probably won't fix, but it'd be easier than changing your entire hboot) is to flash the newer 26.13.04.19 radio via PC10IMG.zip file (i.e.: you rename the zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809 to PC10IMG.zip and place on the SD card as it states in the instructions), then flash the EFS wipe zip via recovery, and in the case of CM9 apply the "Matching lib-ril and gps .so files for 26.13.04.19 Radio" that's provided in the CM9 RC2 thread.

cwm v5.0.2.7
istalled the new radio and wiped efs. nothing
i`ll install audacity again with wiping all
and let you know
any way, know that we are thinking of every thing that has nothing to do with wireless!! is there by any chance any patch in gapps that force me to install it or it is just some google apps ? (cause i don`t install it )

installed the rom again. no chance with wireless.
the radio is updated to last version and audacity b5 is the last one i tried.
i`m going to get worried about my phone`s partions.
i formatted them alot
any other ideas ? flashing HBOOT (please don`t ask me to do that, it's a bit scary :-ss )
i don`t know where the problem is but it's odd, cause i can use wifi thetering without any problem.
wifi turn on easily but can not find anything
is there any program that manage wifi networks??

You could completely reflash everything, by using a PC10IMG (especially in RUU mode) though that might be a bit extreme.
kinda weird how it works on gb but not ics, maybe try talk to the Andromadus guys.

Would have replied earlier, but macbook froze up.
I was going to say, have you bothered to try Mimicry 1.1.2 (ICS), when I tried it wifi worked fine with my configuration so as long as I did not also choose to have T-Mobile Wifi Calling.
(Also I recommend 4EXT recovery over ClockworkMod)

i don`t know where the problem is but it's odd, cause i can use wifi thetering without any problem.

@nipqer: i don`t have the privillage to send any post on developer forum :-" ( i was in xda since i bought my phone, but not a member, and of cource no posts from me till now )
@kbeezie: no i haven`t try that one. i'll give it a try and let u know if it works.

are all the routers you've tried 802.11 N only? cause N is turned off for audacity, seeing as its broken.

i flashed Mimicry 1.1.2 (ICS). no luck with that neither (although it had a cool ui when installing )
i`m still without wifi and i`m getting disappointed with ICS.
don't know what else to do. any other ideas ?

I had wifi problem with all 4.0 roms and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766 solved my problem. It changes Wifi country code in Secure system settings.

[Q] Freeze on every ROM when recieving calls

Hello friends!
I am sorry if this issue has been raised before, couldnt find it though.
Lately my Desire freezes when I recieve calls. It started on a evervolv 4.2 nightly, I though it was simply a bug, but I reverted back to the old stable ROM and the problem persisted. I have now tried many different supposedly stable ROMs and it still happens. I have done full wipe in between.
Is my Desire just fundamentally corrupted now? Could upgrading radio be an answer, or unrooting?
Very grateful for you help

Upgrade radio, if you don't have the latest. If the problem persists, install the 2.3 RUU (sig). If that doesn't solve it either, it's not software's fault.

I upgraded the radio with no luck regarding the freezes. However reverting to RUU Stock 2.2 solved the problem. I am running Mildwild 4.8 with no problems too. Problem does not seem hardware related. I have a 8gb class 2 sdcard, could it be to slow for running JB with a2sd?
Funny though, that I didn't have troubles with JB at first.

[Q] Camera not working anymore, also not on stock ROM

I have a strange problem with my Desire. Till a few moments ago, I was on Oxy ZM and everything works fine. Then I got my One X and I didn't use my Desire anymore. After a while I decided to give my Desire to my girlfriend.
Because of the good experiences I read here I flashed Chromium ROM. I didn't like it that much so I tried MildWild V-4.9 JG. Then I found out that my camera isn't working anymore, I get a dark screen. I flashed different ROMS, inclusing stock (for which I changed the Hboot to stock) but the problem was still there. Eash time I did a full wipe before I installed a new ROM.
Finaly I flashed Oxy ZM back, but unfortunately I still couldn't use the camera. Does anyone knows what went wrong?

Probably hardware issue. Come cable got disconnected or cracked. You should open up your phone and see.

install latest radio version
make ext partition on memorycard
install ext4 touch recovery
boot in ext4 touch recover and do the following: wipe data/cache/dalvik and format system
install Supernova ROM

Well, what matters is that you flashed a RUU. If that didn't solve the problem, then you most certainly have a hardware problem. Get your phone checked out.

I downloaded RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread), and installed it. Still the same problem, no camera. So yes I will check my phone for hardware defects.

Motherboard dying. I had the same on stock Desire. First my camera stopped working, after few weeks it wouln't charge as it should, then started to reboot... Changed motherboard under warranty and all was well

Ai, that didn't sound nice... My LED also don't work anymore. Is this also a symptom of a dying motherboard?
