Hi,
I am getting ready to flash my first custom ROM. I have a Hero with firmware 2.1-update1 and baseband 63.18.55.06OU_6_35.15.01. I have been following the newbie guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253) and I'm intending to flash FroydVillain 1.5.
My question is this: can I safely flash the latest radio before flashing the custom ROM? I figured this would make sense as I can check to make sure my radios work fine after the radio update before I install the ROM. Or will this cause problems?
Yep, can do if you want.
And its simple to roll back if you have issues.
Why should i upgrade my radio? I'm still running the one i got with the StockROM 1.5 and flashed like 8 CustomROMs already, but never upgraded my radio.
So, why should i upgrade my radio?

I believe the radio controls gsm/data signal and battery and some other things. So the newer the radio the better these things will be. So it's really a no brainier, but just make sure you flash the correct one or you'll no doubt brick your phone.

I know what it does. But what do you mean by better? Longer battery life? I doubt so. Better signal? Maybe.
What i mean is, what does it improve exactly and in what way?

As new towers get built their data (signature) needs to be registered to the phone before it will connect to them. The radio contains this data.
Hi, i downloaded the stock ROM from HTC site RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship and couldnt install it as my HD2 has an O2 build (RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship)
I installed HSPL3 and then it installed but kept running out of memory and now i have downgraded my cell. I need to know if i can run android with the existing 1.72 build which doesnt have 2.08 radio. Can i flash a radio or can anyone tell me how to get 3.14 stock without any such hassles
Try a reset failing that a factory reboot should do the trick - its common to have issues after flashing the rom, most are sorted out by the above methods
Stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL sir!
Remove your HSPL and reinstall Stock ROM 3.14 (In your case (branded device) use GoldCard technique)
Can i just install radio _2.15.50.14. Will it be compatible with the stock 1.72.206.3 and will i be able to run android on it???

It depends on what are your priority's and taste sir.
Personally the only thing what interest me on Android is HTCSence.com
but this means I can only use/install a Android version from the Desire HD ore Desire Z Build. (unfortunately this is temporary without camera function.)
Well, i use an HTC HD2 International Version bought from Amazon.com, and it seem the religion is from South East Asia. I can't install normally the ROM 3.14 WWE because it isn't compatible.
But i used HSPL and the ROM was installed successfully, i have no error until now.

Dang! You are right...
So, what should i do? uninstall HSPL and reinstall 3.14?
no, because my device isn't compatible with this rom (htc said that), it won't allow me to install it.
Are there any way to install this rom without error?

What is your full ROM version?
Ow, you can also use the GoldCard technique sir. This gives you the possibility to flash a otter stock ROM without the use of HSPL.
Here are the two available radios posted by other users. The radio "17.5006.08.27" has been reported to have issues with the US AT&T Titan so be warned.
You Flash at your own risk!! If your phone explodes and kills your entire family, that's on you.
RADIOS
17.5006
16.23
Once I find out how to extract them myself I'll post the others.
May I also add here that 17.5006.08.27 radio in general *may have* problems with Titan?
Once that was flashed, I am unable to get rid of that radio and thus, no other ROM boots on my phone any longer. Not even the one with radio 17 or stock!

This is strange, why just now this is happening considering we been using this radio version for a while since hspl became available with titan. Could it be that you got a bad flash from one of the radio v 17 that came with custom rom you flashed? Just on the weekend I flashed roms with radio v17 (WPV rom7.8 4.1) then tried nhatoa's 7.8 with radio v16 and now I'm back with WPV's v4.2 with radio17.
I think I might have had a bad flash with radio 17 then. I am not sure how to revert it though.

If everything all fail using normal flashing tool, it might pay to try a goldcard method to flash stock rom?

Yes, I was suggested that too earlier. I'm a little skeptical with goldcard as I've never taken that route.
I'm more curious in terms of what could have cause a bad flash where a radio cannot be changed at all?

Dont be skeptical ...Its an esay task .. I have done this a lot of times ... Once you have the cable all other staff its easy ...
Alot of things can go bad when you flash ... dont bother thinking about that ...

I'm sure you'll share your findings if ever you find out what've cause this issue with your phone and save us this trouble of "bricking" our phone. As to the goldcard method , you're rigght to be skeptical, initially it's a hit and miss but once you got the Y cable and micro sd card going it is really quite straightforward process. I have an ATT titan so the only way to flash custom from stock is by GC method and been doing this quite regularly (being a flashaholic)

Hi Do you perhaps know if this upgrade will come to us in South Africa as we also have AT&T HTC Titans (2x)? Zune says that no updates are available.
Otherwise can the experts please enable this upgrade via the CAB sender method?
Thanks in advance

Hello guys,
Can anyone reupload radios for Titan? Links are dead.
Thanks in advance.
hi, i have the htc one s tmobile version, after following the instructions in installing the LIBERTY ROM 4.3 HTC SENSE 5.5, i noticed whenever i switched to wcdma only my signals turned off but work perfectly on gsm. pls what am i not doing right and also have attached my installation log of the rom
Because it's a rom for the international version of the phone and seems to be picky with which radio versions it works best with.
Dude pls help me out, what do i do now
What radio version do you have installed?
You'll either have to find another radio that works better with the rom, or a better suited rom for your radio.
the current radio installed on it is 1.35a.32.45.27_10.144.32.34aL and i haven't try any other radio since i don't know what to do

Hmm says in the thread it should work. I'd just switch up roms to something with a T-Mobile base to test.
so what could be causing mine not to work?

Hi everyone i have a HTC m8 0p6b120 with WiFi problem, I can't turn on WiFi and Bluetooth
I buy that with that problem the seller say it's was firmware problem but I don't know.
I just s-off yesterday but I don't know what way can I follow for solve this problem can anyone help me please?
Broken WiFI (grayed out) is a common symptom of firmware that is mismatched from the ROM. Either a stock ROM or custom ROM was flashed to the device that does not match the firmware (Hboot, radio, and other modules like media, WiFi, etc.).
This also means the phone was almost certainly modded by the previous user. So hopefully they described it as such when it was sold to you. Otherwise it was dishonest and fraudulent (or at least negligent).
What hboot number show in bootloader, and what software number is shown in Settings?
Hboot 3.19
1.58.502.1

Former user didn't know what they were doing and flashed a really old stock ROM that does not correspond to the firmware. 1.58 ROM goes with hboot 3.16.
What is the radio baseband number (also in Settings)?
Do you have a preference on what Android build you want to be on? Or whether stock or custom ROM?
Baseband versión
[email protected]_40.34.C35006.02_F
I wanna have lollipop firmware but I want to repair the WiFi first

Looks like you are on 4.4.4 firmware.
No need to "repair the WiFi" if you are just going to flash Lollipop firmware and a Lollipop ROM. Once you have matching firmware and ROM, WiFi will work again.
To confirm, you will be using this phone on AT&T's network?
In on 4.4.2 can u gimme links of lollipop and firmware for mid 0p6b120 My phone is unlocked in using that for other network

What "other network"? What region and carrier?
For future reference, when asking for help please supply as much detail as possible. Being vague is not allow us to help you very easily.

Your OS (otherwise known as ROM, software, or "main version") is 4.4.2.
Your hboot and radio number indicate 4.4.4 firmware (firmware contains hboot, radio, WiFi, media modules, and others) and not to be confused with the OS/ROM.
Its the mismatch of 4.4.4 firmware and 4.4.2. ROM that is causing your WiFi issue.
I'm using that in Colombia in Togo network Ok thanks what firmware can I use I wanna lollipop can u gimme link ? Can I convert it on another mid and update it to 5.0.1?

Various ways you can do this. But my suggestion would be to change to US Developers's Edition CID (or SuperCID) than run the 3.28 Developers's Edition RUU. No need to change MID, as US Dev Ed the same MID as the AT&T version.
This will put you on a stock 5.0 ROM, with no AT&T bloatware, AT&T specific features, or disabled features. It will also mean you are "fully converted" to the Dev Edition, and will even get future Dev Edition OTA updates.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then my solution is run that Ruu
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._2G_20.63.4196.01_release_394319_signed_2.exe
And my problem will solve?
Do I need convert to sense first?

Yes, that is what you want. Change to SuperCID, and run the RUU, and it will be on stock Lollipop ROM with Lollipop firmware.
No need to convert to Sense if you are already on Sense. Converting to Sense is only needed if you did a full conversion to GPE.

Its not clear if you have tried to do what I've suggested (repeatedly now). And if so, did some step fail, or was it successful in updating you to Dev Edition Lollipop?

All I can think, is to try the AT&T 4.4.4 RUU, or even an older AT&T RUU (4.4.3 or 4.4.2).
If you are still getting random reboots, than I don't think there is much else you can do. RUU will usually solve any software issue, as its a complete factory software image.
I've been having the same issue with the Wi-Fi being greyed out. I think it's my fault, though. I got my One M8 yesterday and wanted to update to Lollipop. I might've done something wrong, and now I cannot use Wi-Fi.
Anyways, my HBOOT is 3.16.0.0000 and my RADIO is 1.16.21331831.A16G.
Should I follow the same steps mentioned above or...? I'm really new to this and I shouldn't have tried it out without researching first.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm S-ON. Don't know if that helps.
