Is it possible to extract the radio image? I have converted my M8 to a GPe and when I did I remove the radio image from the RUU since it's a swedish phone with other LTE bands than the original GPe.
After a few days of testing it I seem to have problem connecting to LTE most of the times, but not always. I've read that people still can connect to LTE with the radio image from the GPe RUU and now I want to try that image instead. As a backup I want to be able to return to my stock radio again.
So, is this possible and how is it done? Or can I get the stock radio image in any other way?

Mind sound a little simplistic but couldn't you:
1) do a full backup
2) Download the GPE RUU
3) Extract the radio.img from it
4) Flash the radio.img "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
If it squirrels your reception up just do a restore from the backup?

I'm using philz recovery but twrp is similar. To back up press on back up and select location for back up.
Reboot when finished. I always store the backups on the laptop as a safety precaution.
To restore, just click on restore and go to backup location on phone to restore.
I prefer TWRP but it gave me issues with OS disappearing ! (possibly)
As far as I know, the gpe has the same version of radio as the sense one.
I have the sense version and I am having issues with LTE, I would root and flash the gpe radio if thats going to fix the problem

As you know I am using the Gpe RUU and love it.
Radio works great for 3G/4G. The issue is 4G coverage is crap both here and where I work I do get it on the drive home lol.

It is not about the coverage here. I live in Saudi Arabia and I used to have a very good, consistent LTE connection using the M7, LG G2, Lumia 1020, Xperia Z1 & Xperia SP. But not the M8. This device only connects to LTE when the signal is very strong. And I am not the only person here with this issue. I have seen many people complaining about the M8 ability to connect to LTE network.
I hope its a radio issue as I really like this phone and I don't want to replace it anytime soon

Compared to the Nexus 5 my M8 seems to have worse coverage. But my problem is that it's not connecting data at all when trying LTE. If I limit it to 3G it seems to work all the time.

To extract your radio image, do the following commands.
adb shell
su (if needed to get a #)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20

You'll find the radio image on the internal sd card.

How do I flash the GPe radio? I tried fastboot flash radio radio.img but I get FAILED: remote not allowed.
IMO, you simply need to edit the ril settings in build.prop to match what was on your sense Rom and lte connectivity will be restored. These are the lines that need changed:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=
ro.ril.hsupa.category=
ro.ril.hsxpa=
Gpe sets these pretty low for some reason..

How do I know what was set there on Sense? And LTE works sometimes, just has a hard time connecting most of the times. But when it has connected it works great.

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017
Bumping. Somebody please help...Also if anyone has a stock ROM they could share, that'd do fine as well. I'm curious if stock ROM would re-enable the radio (if that's the actual problem).

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode
Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

You don't need the sim card at all then, you're CDMA. If you're not on it already i would recommend flashing the latest ics firmware, it can be found in the ICS leak ROM thread posted by nitsuj17 , it includes the newest radio

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.
Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

Can anybody link to such a file? I cant seem to find one anywhere.

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY
Because I HAD (I actually just reverted back and am currently getting S-OFF to flash a radio) the HTCdev unlock, I manually booted the boot.img after entering recovery and wiping/formatting all the necessary things. Skimming the video might give you a better idea.
However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.

Things like that prevented to convert my stock Sense into GPE. If you noticed, the RUU update contains new firmwares for radio, adsp and others for your device, that could be not 100% compatible with your hardware version (AFAIK Sense & GP have different model IDs).
But this is only my thought and I'm new to this world, I could be totally wrong.
Anyway, if you don't lose the signal it could be a bug related only to the interface data interpretation. Your connection is stable, but the software doesn't read it properly.
Try any app like SignalCheck and compare the readings.
Cheers!

Seen your graph with SignalCheck, it looks like you have more radio signal strength than the signal bars are showing.
I think you don't have to worry about unless the connection drops out totally. Sometimes I get the same readings in my Sense edition.
Anyway, if you want to try, here is a compilation of different radio firmwares, including two for T-Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921
If you decided to flash a new radio, first connect your device to your computer and do a backup of your current radio firmware with the following procedure:
Open a command prompt in your computer where your ADB & Fastboot commands are located and type the next commands (press enter after every one).
- Type: adb shell
- Type: su
(Check your device screen if your root program (SuperSU or Superuser) asks to grant root permission, and allow it.)
- Type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/radio.img
- Type: exit
- Type: exit
- Type: adb pull /sdcard/radio.img
Now you have in your ADB folder a backup of your current radio firmware, follow the procedures to flash a new radio firmware and if something goes wrong, just flash the one you backed up.
Cheers!

[Recovery] [RUU] [TWRP Nandroids] [Radio IMGs]
I have a US bought unlocked m9 which I s-off, superCID and switched to 2.10 int edition.
I use to travel frequently between Hungary and Israel and I used to get lte to work just fine with one of sense roms (viper or leedroid probably).
About 2 weeks ago I flash candy rom (CM based) and as far as I can recall I havent had lte signal since.
Currently I'm in Hungary at an area which has lte but i can only get 3g.
Tried to flash back a sense rom (maximus and viper) - didnt help. Tried dialing *#*#4636#* and choose "lte only" but that only resulted in no signal.
Tried following this thread to add more lte bands (added band 20 which my wife's iphone is connected to) but still no luck.
I tried many variations and different bands I could find online, which suppose to work in Hungary, but no luck.
Am I missing something here? lte bands don't match?
Any input here will be much appreciated.
Edit: Just checked my speedtest app logs and indeed I got 4g signal when I was in hungary 2 months ago while on sense rom so there should be no lte bands issues. The next time I see 4g results is about 2 weeks ago, in Israel, on sense rom (before I installed any CM based rom).
This makes me think somehow installing candy rom screwed up my connectivity. I'm puzzled.

Okay so I RUU back to 1.32.617 just for the sake of it (last version I know for a fact worked here with lte) but no luck. RUU to 2.8.617, still no go. Tried opening the exact same bands as in the Int m9 (by what is listed in htc website - 1,3,5,7,8,20,28) but still can't get lte.
If I take my sim and put it in my wife's iphone 5s I get lte. If I put her sim in the m9 - no lte.
What's going on?? Anyone got a clue?? It feels like there's a small mistake that i'm doing along the way and it's driving me crazy. I don't see why lte shouldn't work.

Okay so I RUU back to 1.32.617 just for the sake of it (last version I know for a fact worked here with lte) but no luck. RUU to 2.8.617, still no go. Tried opening the exact same bands as in the Int m9 (by what is listed in htc website - 1,3,5,7,8,20,28) but still can't get lte.
If I take my sim and put it in my wife's iphone 5s I get lte. If I put her sim in the m9 - no lte.

You seem to have a hardware / radio failure, I don't think it's software related or the RUU would have fixed it
This is the info I get from LTE Discovery app when I choose LTE only in *#*#4636#*#*. Seems to me like he gets cell signal but can't really connect. Any clue?
Hey, Guys. I'm now having a really annoying Problem with the 4G Network. I bought my M8_UL in China and due to the product introduction, the China Version support only the FDD band 1 & 3. Now I want to use the 4G Network in Germany which is FDD band 20 & 7. I had my phone s-off and tried both the Europe RUU and Development RUU, but it still doesn't work! Anyone has an Idea, what should I do at this situation? Thank you all!!
p.s. there's no problem for lte connection in China and my o2 sim card in Germany can use lte in another phone
Up Up, the Problem is still not solved. Has anyone some ideas, really appreciate your help!

You flashed two RUUs with S-off and it didn't change anything? I believe that may be standard, as some of these .RUUs don't contain updates to the radio partition, right?
I believe there is a large repository of firmware / radio / etc flashables here on XDA, though I don't recall where I saw them. Perhaps finding one compatible with your region would be the way to go! I haven't any experience in this field yet, but hopefully this little bit of insight can push you in the right direction

Many thanks for your reply. I don't know if the RUU contain radio partition or firmware file or not, but I find my Radio version(Baseband version) has been update when I flashed new RUU.

Silly question-- Are you clearing all caches first? Pretty sure RUUs carry out this function automatically, but who knows?

Yeah，already wipe all caches before flash. Trying to add Band through QPST and QXDM, but failed in entrying the DIAG Mode with Marshmallow

I'm about on the end of my line of thought, sadly. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Last thing I can think of-- have you tried a Kit Kat or Lollipop RUU?

Thanks for all the tips. Really appreciate your help. Everytime I flashed a Lollipop RUU and then update to Marshmallow, still not work. Hope next time HTC can just offer more Band
Since there is no resource thread for this variant, I decided to create this one for the little community using this on XDA.
First of all, some warnings:
- Custom ROM and kernel do not work so do not attempt to try, it would just be a waste of time. Even if the ROM work, you will not have signal and there will be bug. So if you are not a ROM developer looking to support this variant, I suggest staying away.
- Debranding to unlocked/international variant is not possible. At best you will only soft brick, at worst you could brick your device.
- Since there are no RUU and none will be available in the near future, always have a stock back up at the ready.
- Root is only achievable with Sunshine through temproot and S-Off. So if you are not prepare to pay or for the risk, stay away as well.
Now, on to the main disk
Here is the link to the most recent OTA:
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA...1.28.970.6_release_485495lwhgdc5g85j4uwwh.zip
Contain in here is the stock recovery and other image if you need.
Guide to root. As mention above, will S-off your phone.
Guide to receive OTA after root.

I think it can be converted to Unlocked one after s-off, you may try

What was the error?
No signal, or unable to get the radio.img from post1
No signal or data. For some of reason, the only radio that works is Verizon's. but I only get 3G data and it registers as no signal even though I have data, make calls and texts.
thanks so much, im from japan and my phone was root, im looking for this.
Can you upload the stock room off AU or stock back up here?

Did you try wiping modems?
In download mode using ADB issue the commands:
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Fixed my 3g issue. But this was from a Different issue.
Won't hurt to try..
Thanks. I'll give that a shot
those ADB command will not work. says failed partition erase not supported
EDIT: nvm i ran it in the bootloader and they seemed to work, however i am still not receiving signal on my 10 with us unlocked. it seems the only way to receive the KDDI au signal at all is to flash verizon's radio.
au has a funky system authenticating the phone with an ID system which is embedded within the stock ROM. I don't know whether it is possible to have signal with an unlocked model. That's the only thing keeping me from flashing a custom ROM on the phone. Maybe some ROM developer could take a look into that?
I did notice that if u flash the Verizon radio, then install a ROM while choosing unlocked dev edition, as the provider, you get signal and bars, but this breaks my 5ghz wifi capability for some reason and I only received 3g at speeds of 1.5mpbs download. So not really worth it. Is there an ruu for the Japanese HTV32 out there that would flash in my 10?

There are no RUU yet, have you tried flashing the radio from the OTA?
