I have 2 identical DHD phones, one is still totally stock the other I used the now retired hack kit to get root, s-off etc. I have tried several custom ROMS with the DHD with root but GPS doesn't work on any of them. On the other hand my stock DHD with GB 2.3.5 gets a GPS fix in seconds.
Is it possible that the rooted DHD has a faulty GPS antenna/setup?
BTW the ROMs I have tried all have working GPS so the problem isn't the ROM.
Any suggestions?
cheers
to rule out rom issue, you can try flashing rooted stock rom, or even flash ruu, which i think should preserve radio s-off. if you are using jb rom, try flashing latest radio

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.
What's the best radio for the T-Mobile G2? I've been using the .17 radio and have been getting mediocre wifi signal. Should I use the stock t-mobile G2 radio? Also I have the 82.0000 hboot but it doesn't say I have eng-off. Is there a way to get eng-off without using the stock hboot on the wiki?
Also what hboot do I need when flashing cm7?

Ive ran the 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 and now I'm on the 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 and to me it seems that the 26.04.02.17 radio is working better for me, about the same with wifi but a little better signal improvement with data over the network. I'm in the Los Angeles CA. area.
Also I have the 82.0000 hboot but it doesn't say I have eng-off. Is there a way to get eng-off without using the stock hboot on the wiki?

The only available ENG Hboot is the one on the XDA Wiki right now. I have the stock ENG. Hboot 0.76.2000 from the Wiki and have no issues with it, I'm able to flash everything that available for the G2, no problems.
Also what hboot do I need when flashing cm7?

You can use any hboot now for CM7 since rom manager released the official CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, it now supports both 2.2 and 2.3 roms. Even before this there were ways to flash the new recovery without the ENG. Hboot. and get Cm7 but now its, pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the quick and clear reply. I already flashed CM7 but with the 82 hboot and I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything properly. As for the radio, I'm gonna update to the new radio 12.28h.60.14 0f_26.06.02.27_M_ and get a new router, still using linksys wrt54g lol.
Also, when flashing new roms, for example CM roms, do they flash the radio? I think some do but im not sure.
Roms never flash a new radio.

Ours don't - only because the dev's don't feel the need to put it in there (no point). Other phones do it though, mostly when a stock upgrade is released (2.1 to 2.2 for instance) and there is also a radio update with it. It's literally a one line script you put in the update_script in order to flash a new radio.

The root method that you've used is obsolete, suggest to use this one if you want to flash new radio and before flash the eng-boot also ...

I used this thread to update my radio, it's pretty easy to understand.

No, you have permanent root. You're fine. You should be able to flash the radio without issue. What you might want to take note of is if you ever want to run gfree in the future (to get true radio S-OFF, super CID, and SIM unlock). At least one user has reported that gfree didn't work with one of the newer radios and he had to downgrade back to the stock radio in order to run the program. Just an additional hassle (which is why most people recommend running gfree first, prior to messing with the radio).
There was a fear that a new radio may be released at some point that does not allow you to downgrade again (thereby preventing you from ever running gfree), but that would be unusual and so far there hasn't been one.
Hello,
Last night I spent hours to install LeeDrOiD V3.0.6-R2 GB on a HTC Desire: it went in a bootloop probably because the phone is S-ON and (my mistake) I had no backup. I was too confident having flashed 100 of times my galaxy s and my galaxy tab without any problem. But I'm a beginner on HTC Desire.
So finally it worked and I have now the LeeDroiD GB rom, but I really suffered until 4 am.
But the phone is still S-ON and to prevent similar issues next time I want to have it S-OFF.
Is it true that Alpharev solution doesn't work with GB?
If yes, what should I do?
Thanks for helping me.
Best thing is to go back to stock, root again and then s-off and then flash a GB Sense ROM

Hello Eddy,
What a quick reply! THANKS.
I thought about going back to stock, you convinced me.
Do you think this one could be ok: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Is there anything I should know before installing it?
no, don't go back to stock. You need a rooted rom, so I recommend using a close-to-stock but rooted Rom. So don't use the ruu (otherwise you need to reroot with unrevoked first, then S-off with alpharev) but flash a stock rooted rom in recovery.
There is a Everything-about-Desire-thread in Development section and you can download the correct rooted rom in there.
Actually any rooted Froyo-Rom without D2SD (!) should work (for example Leedroid 2.x without A2SD did work well for me) but I'd still use a hackfree rom.
Hi, I was just wondering what happens to custom radio when I flash stock rom? Will I get the stock radio back or do you know where I can download the stock radio?
Thanks

Which radio were you running and which one are you running now? It all depends on how you root your device. If you unlock the bootloader, then nothing happens, but if you run the hack kit, you will have the lastest 2.3.3 radio, but as you would be S-OFF you can flash the radio you want back again.

Radios are never a must. You can use ARHD with the radio you have at the momento and the rom will run ok. Radios are suggested by the developers as they test or assess several radios in the process of developing the rom. However, you can still use the radio you have and probably will never experience any bug.
If you want to flash a new radio, you can always go back to the previous one as long as that file is to download. Check the radio threads to see how to flash a radio and always make sure that you check that the md5sum match.
If you need further help use the guide in my signature...
Nothing will happen to radio if you flash a stock ROM in recovery. The radio only changes if you manually flash one, or if you run an RUU. Radios are region specific and if your country uses less common frequency bands, then the one for your region will be the best. Latest is not best for radios.
