howto flash radio, after rom install

Hi,
At this moment i'm running a rooted HD, with the revolution HD rom.
But I never flashed the radio, and now I want to flash it to the radio that is recommended for revolution.
I noticed that mine HD is nog ENG s-off, so I tried it with the easy s-off tool
But when i try the easy s-off tool, it says wrong kernel / rom.
How can i flash it? Do i need to get a stock kernel (and from where?) or is there another way to do ENG s-off ?

You are supposed to read and search through the forum before asking any question! Here is the guide for flashing the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
Which version of the stock ROM are you on? The easy s-off tool works like a charm.
Any plans of installing custom ROMs? Try flashing a new radio after that... ARHD2.0.9, for example, is an awesome ROM. You will not only be able to get more out of your DHD but also have complete control over it!

Sorry, but there was too many information
But i did it, thx.
The only problem i got now, is that my Gapps wont install ?

Gapps are bundled in ARHD roms so you should not have an issue here.

[Q] update question, radio nd.. please help

hey everyone
this is my first time i will root and install new rom on my htc desire, the thing is that i read the tutorials and everything, and i chosed to install cyanogen mod 7 rom, however cyanogen said this
The 7.0.3 update is *ONLY* for people using 7.0.2* stable builds. You'll hose your system if you install it on a nightly from the last week (2.3.4/GRJ22).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
does that mean that i cant install it unless i had 7.0.2 preinstalled on my phone ? which means that for now i should install 7.0.2 ??
please help, and if it is true what is the way to update it after installing the 7.0.2 rom ??
plus it says
Update your radio! New radio from HTC 2.2+ roms is required
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how do i choose the radio ? and how do i know that i dont need to download it if my radio is what is stated... ???
however the tutorial i am using says this in intro
***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mine is 0.93.0001
does that mean that i cant continue doing the steps of rooting and flashing provided ??
third is that
thanks in advance

Your hboot is OK, you can go ahead with rooting and S-OFFing your device (which i recommend since you want to run CM7, go with CM7hboot to maximize ROM efficency and properly use phone's memory)
Download 7.0.3 and flash it. what cyangoen said means, that you can go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 without wipe (flashing one on top of the other so you dont have to set up your apps and settings again) and also he mentions that if someone was using that weeks nightly build, he/she MUST do a full wipe before flashing 7.0.3 or it wont work
about RADIO
if you were on Official Froyo, you do have correct RADIO
if you werent or if you just want to be up to date, you can do it yourself - download the radio from desire forums here, search for them in the 'Desire index - everything for the desire is here' thread.
download .zip of the radio and flash it from recovery, or if you decide to S-OFF you can also do it by downloading .img of the radio and flasing it using fastboot (you must have [email protected])

go with CM7hboot

thanks alot for the help

HBOOT determines the partition layout in your phone memory.
stock bravo (desire) hboot is 250MB system, 147MB data and 40MB cache
now alpharev made custom hboots, one of them specifically for CM7 (since it didnt need 250MB on system)
and CM7hboot is : system 145M cache 5M data 287M
so u get lots of space for apps, nothing wasted (because u waste 150MB if running CM7 on stock hboot)

thanks alot
ive finished insalling my new rom
a great thanks for ur help

[Q] Help with best Rom for my gingerbread desire with lastest gingerbread ruu

Hi guys
I have a desire bravo that i updated to the new gingerbread ruu when it came out.
Sorry but i have a few questions. Im on holiday at the moment and im using my desire wifi hotspot to use the internet at the moment so i really dont want to mess it up.
1) I used the clockwork mod to S-off and install a custom recovery this morning.
I know that the S-Off worked and i manged to install the custom recovery as the superuser app has shown up in my menu and the hboot menu shows S-Off.
First thing i did was to do a back up that i have saved to my computer..
I then moved on to Root the rom and it showed as being complete
When i installed root check from the market i get some problems. The first is : Application superuser has stopped unexpectedly. I have to force close the app to continue. Root check then tells me that "Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted"
Anyone have any ideas about what i did wrong ???
2) if i cant root the rom should i just install a new custom rom. Does anyone know what is the best GB rom with a new sense (not bothered about what one) i should install. Not worried about App to sd yet as i thought if i start small with a stable rom then i can always change to a rom with app to sd built in at a later time once i get used to changing roms
Thanks for your help as i said i really dont want to brick the phone as i will lost internet access and will be stuck till i get home.
Thanks Guys
BTW big thanks to the clockwork guys for all there hard work

When your phone is s-off, you don't have to root it (or rather the os). So if the s-off process finishes (you cannot s-off with a recovery, so I assume you did it with revolutionary), just flash a rom with root access and you're done.
There is no "best rom". It depends on personal preferences. Just try.

yes i used the revolutionary way to s-off and install the recovery files and i have to say it works very very well very easy to understand
Thanks for the info about rooting the rom. I think i understand now
so can i install any rom now as i updated to the offical gingerbread ruu when it came out ?
If so can you recommend a good gingerbread rom with a newish sense on ?

After you run the revolutionary process successful, flash a custom recovery with fastboot (how to use fastboot -> see my sig). I recommend 4ext or rmd. Now boot into recovery, make a full wipe and flash any rom you want (save important first). Just follow the given instructions in the corresponding thread.
For the sense rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328

thanks guys. I think im going to give the AceSMod007-Lite (Sense2.1+3.0 GB ) a go as a lot of people recommend it. 1 quick question.
Can i install this rom even though i installed the offical RUU Gingerbread update and s-off'ed using revolutionary??
Thanks Guys

sorry one more question.
I did a backup of my rom via recovery. If i dont like the new Rom can i just restore to my standard rom via retore in recovery mode?

Yes, you can. Just wipe everything and restore. If you cannot to this, a backup would be senseless, don't you think?
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

Thank you soooooooo much. I just flashed the rom and eveything is working perfect
my phone now shows that i have :
885 MB on Ext Partition
34.27 MB on /data
3.97 MB on /System
Does that sound right?

Looks fine.

[Q] RENOVATE 11.0.0 and HBoot

Hi Back Again been on Viper ROM but was looking at RENOVATE 11.0.0 for a JB ROM it says I need to update my HBoot (I have 1.12.000) S on
Looking I found the tool to update HBoot but it says it irreversible if I update my HBoot cn I still go back to the Viper non JB ROM I have a HTC One X
Any thoughts and how easy it is to do
Thanks

Yes you can go back to the viper x rom. Just flash it as any other rom

Not Reversable
Doing It=Easy
And yes its not reversable!

So I need to update bootloader from 1.12 and no I cant go back but yes I can go back to Viper ROM which is not JB if prefer it
As its said it's easy? any help and instructions pls

deleted

So I would not be able to go back to the Viper Rom ?

yes
yes yo can go back to viperx i have hboot 31 and i flash jb and ics rom without problems but you cant flash cm10/9 or aosp witout problem but there is boot images just made for the latest hboots

You said this also in another thread. Please correct it. please stop spreading this around you are confusing people !!!
Yes you can go flash back to ics !

OK Thanks so let me get this straight I can upgrade to HBoot 1.31 from 1.12 I can then install JB Roms namely RENOVATE 11.0.0?
If I find I don't like the Renovate ROM can I then go back to Viper ROM by restoring my backup
Thanks Again

Yes that is correct ! Do a nandroid of your existing rom. Try the JB and if you don't like it you perform a full wipe in recovery, flash the boot.img from your nandroid backup and restore the nandroid in recovery :thumbup:

How do you do a nandroid backup I have TWRP Recovery Thanks

Don't know i never used that recovery......
Is there an option that says backup maybe ?

Yes there is a backup option so I use that do a full backup is it OK to backup to the phone or should I save the backup to my laptop then update hboot then flash the boot.img then install the revolution ROM
Is JB revolution rom a worthwhile upgrade from the vViper Rom ..........

DO this!
Do this or u will regret later.
Ur SD card will also be formatted so backup the SD to a safe folder on ur computer and also ur internal Memory(Contacts etc)Using Superbackup app.
Now make a backup using the recovery and copy the backup to ur pc so that next time when u install the recovery u can place the backup in its folder!

Thanks for the help still not done it, don't want to brick my phone when installing the Viper Rom everything went perfectly but not sure about JB Rom with changing HBoot etc is there an "idiots" guide detailing the steps for a noob like me thanks

Just don't update the hboot you will regret it later. Just wait for the official update and use viper x ics in the time being !

OK whats to regret with updating HBoot now? Will I get the official update as I'm not on stock
Really don't understand all this

When you update your hboot now you could.....i say could get problems running a ics rom, or problems with GPS . There are still a few bugs around.
When you are on stock you can update with the official OTA from HTC no problem with that.
When you are not on stock you can not update officially updates from HTC. The phone has to be full stock
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
But if you plan to stay on a JB custom rom then you can flash the new hboot, you will have no problems running the JB roms
But that's a choice you have to make for yourself

OK I think I see, right now I'm using the Viper ICS ROM but was thinking of going on the JB ROM revolution
So now I'm using Viper ICS I will not be able to update my phone through HTC's official updates, will I need to go back to stock to get official updates, or do I just wait till I can get HBoot through unofficial sources
Sorry for all these questions .....

If you want the official update you need to go back to stock !
You can always flash the hboot unofficial, cid must be supported to do that. And as i said before this also is a choice only you can make

Htc One X Boot loop

I chose a font then i tried to open my settings then it wouldn't open so i restarted my phone............ then when it turns back on it wont go passed "HTC one beats audio" screen..... idk what to do... i tried factory reset ... erase cache... EVERYTHING.. IT WONT WORK.. AND I DONT HAVE WARRENTY HELP ME PLS!!!! =(!!!!!HOW DO I FIX MY PHONE WHEN ITS STUCK IN BOOT LOOP LIKE THIS!!!

help me please!

Here we go ,
Hold the power button and the volume - button together until it restarts into the bootloader menu
Then tell me what's there (hboot number and of it says fastboot USB)
Do you have the fastboot files on the pc and do you know anything about fastboot commands ?

Hi,
I didn't know about that font changer app until now. You should've said something about it in the original thread.
I assume you didn't backup your stock rom in recovery, so you have to flash something else.
Yesterday you said you want to have a custom rom and not the original stock rom so the question goes:
Do you want a ROM with HTC Sense skin or a pure Android without Sense (AOSP)?
If you want your mobile running in no time, I recommend either a ICS Sense ROM or ICS/JB AOSP ROM.
If you want a JB Sense ROM it will be more work for you and a slower process.
Pick between those and I will give advice on what particular ROM yous should choose.
You can take a look here for Sense roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1536
and here for AOSP-ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1684
My personal recommendation is the official CyanogenMod ROM, which is based on AOSP and is very stable and fluid.
Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
When you have chosen your ROM, or have questions, I will help you.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the RUU or stock nandroid backup for your main version. It might be that you can't return to stock.
ROM transfer is possible in CWM.

No, but with your current hboot version you should ignore JB Sense ROMs. All others are good.

Nope it's not there, only older ones but they are useless, guess you are stuck on a custom rom for a while ..... First we have to get fastboot up and running, download this
