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 However, I'm sure I read somewhere that this method might now be outdated and a new radio can be simply flashed direct from the SD Card on the phone.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.

it will be the same as upgrading it.. after all all you're doing is flashing some software on the phone, but there would be no point in going back to the older version once you've upgraded...

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.

[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?

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.

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.

[Q] How to find what HBoot?

Hi
I have successfully rooted and s-off'ed my HTC Desire using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
But im confused by HBOOT and ROM's having CM7 and A2SD versions. I initially flashed the insertcoin ROM using the A2SD version and then decided to try SGBS again using the A2SD version. But am I safe to use the CM7 version? How do I know what HBOOT i have on my phone? If I boot holding down the volume etc i see HBOOT 0.93.0001.
I understand CM7 stores some files on the internal memeory so im thinking things might be slightly quicker if i use the CM7 version ROMS.
Thanks

To flash from Your phone via zip you need the pb99img.zip. just make sure you read the steps on the alpharev web site ad you need to rename the file and check the md5

Either download the PB99IMG file from AlphaRev, rename to PB99IMG.zip, place it at the root of your sdcard and flash via bootloader. Or download the IMG file, enter fastboot mode and connect to your computer, then use fastboot flasher or the likes of it or use fastboot flash hboot "name of img" in command prompt.
Eg. To flash CM7r2 hBOOT via command prompt just connect the phone to your computer in fastboot mode, 'fastboot devices' to ensure your phone is recognized and then 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img'.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire with Beats Audio using Tapatalk

When you enter fastboot mode, youve got your hboot written at the top of the screen (if it says "alpharev" its stock hboot, just s-offed).
Edit:
If you havent flashed any hboot except for having your phone s-offed, you should have stock hboot then. You can change your hboot easily by using android flasher (you can download it from: http://deltaxent.com.au/af/download.php?device=desire), youve got to be in the fastboot mode and have all needed drivers.
And, to be clear, hboot doesnt make any I/O operations faster, it just partition your internal memory for a different parts of a rom (simplified explanation and im not completely sure of that).

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

If your bootloader says hboot 0.93.0001, you're on stock boot.
Also, if you would be on any other, it would be clearly stated in your bootloader (cm7r2 instead of 0.93.0001). I'm on stock myself, but asked the same question couple of days ago .
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App

Thanks for all the advice and help. I'm going to stick with stock for now.

you might not, because you see, different ROMs need different HBoots. Most work with the stock one, but many require the CM7 r2 too.

[Q] Help with Radio update for latest cyanogen

Hi all. I just rooted my Desire following the Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide found here on forum
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
I followed all the steps till step 7 - Flashing custom Rom. I want to install latest cyanogen mod 7.1 and in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957344) i see that it is required to update radio before installing cyanogen. I found a few threads explaining how to do it but it's with different methods. One is via recovery but since i did S-off with Alpharev /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes. I need someone who has done this kind of stuff to tell me how to proceed next and safely update radio (tutorials would be nice). Actually do i need new radio or will everything work fine. Ty all
My desire:
Android 2.2
Baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected] #1
Build number 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
Software number 2.29.405.5
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.0001

As far as I know you don't need to update your radio just yet. Any radio that starts with 5.XX should work with CM7. You have Baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 so I believe you'll do just fine without updating it.
You only mess with your radio when it's not working properly for the ROM you are using because if done incorrectly, it can brick your phone.
If there comes a point you really have to change radio due to performance issues, you can use Android Flasher tool or better yet do it manually in fastboot.
BTW are you really sure you can't flash the radio? What HBoot are you using right now? Does it say CM7r2?

Hey, i didn't update to Cyanogen just yet. I saw here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464 that cache file is too small to hold radio files needed for update via recovery
NOTE: If you have the Alpharev Oxygen or CM7 HBOOT then you will not be able to flash these files via recovery, quote from AlphaRev site below.
If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.

I wasn't sure what that means exactly. So i should just be ok if i want to update it via recevery (zip file or iso?) ? My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001

If you are using Stock HBoot then you can still flash radios from recovery. Only when you change to CM7r2 HBoot will you have to flash radios via fastboot.

Not only CM7r2 hboot. Radio has to be flashed via fastboot with every hboot which has less than ~35 MB for cache.

Understandable, but your information was only the half of the truth. IMHO my (complete) information was not so confusing, wasn't it?

Yup! That's why you have my thanks!

Thx all, so i will try to update radio via fastboot hopefully there is a tutorial somewhere

It's not only for the radio, but it works the same way:
http://blogs4android.com/2011/06/ro...dio-recovery-and-bootloader-through-fastboot/
Be very careful what you are doing. If you are unsure, better wait than doing somehthing. Because if something goes wrong in radio flashing, your phone will be completely bricked and from now on nothing more than an expensive paperweight.

Thx, i will try cyanogen without radio update, if everything works fine i'll leave radio as it is

I tried your mentioned RUU file and rename it as PB99IMG.zip but still fail.

If he did hboot would say "BravoC"
edit: .. or after reading the actual numbers of the hboot i retract that statement.

It did not fail compare to original thread you gained s on and downgraded radio from which I found out as you mentioned RUU before in original thread, one more question, did you follow advice from N1 guy I posted there?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Try to flash alpharev hboot downgrade with fastboot, then try to flash any other hboot or to flash RUU. I recommend 2.3 RUU.

I have same problem. How did you solve it?
