Hi all, I flashed my virgin hero with modacos 2.0 rom. Being a novice I forgot to flash the radio first.
Can I go ahead and flash the radio without wiping? I'll do a nandroid backup first anyway but if i'll lose all my settings with a radio flash i won't bother
I did that as well. Just flashed the radio on after. Worked fine. The radio update.zip only touched the radio drivers, nothing else
Cheers mate

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to "flash" I did my first one about 3 days ago with the Black Satin. I want to flash my radio to the version 1.54, if I flash only the radio did it flash everything and reset my TyTN (hard reset) or it flash only the radio ?
Thanks
If you only flash the radio, you only flash the radio. No data loss is done
Thanks !
Since I'm starting in flashing things, I don't want to mess things up to soon.

If you're that new to flashing, did you flash Olipro's HardSPL first?
Flashing radios is more prone to damage your phone than flashing OS only and HardSPL can often help you recover from a problem (such as power failure during flash etc).
HI, I've followed the Mr Vanx guide to flash my device. I've flash my radio last night and everything went fine.
Hello guys, I have a little bit of a problem, and I am hoping that you guys can help me out. About 10 months ago I upgraded from my stock ROM to dcd's 2.3.2. rom and 3.27.00 radio. Every thing went fine, loaded up 2.40 olipro and the installation went perfect. Now last month I saw that dcd came out with 3.2.6 and wanted to upgrade my rom and radio, but this is were i'm running into problems. I was able to flash the 3.2.6. rom, but I am unable to flash the radio. I have searched up and down these forums and checked out the wiki's and havn't been able to find a solution. So now all i'm left with is a phone that can't make a phone call but is still able to send sms messages. If anyone has any helpful tips or even a solution to my problem it would be much appricated.
I thought the 3.27 radio works with 3.2.6. What is happening when you try to flash the radio? and what method are you using to flash it (SD card or pc)? Also when you bootup the phone does it say 3.27 radio still? I believe all the newer DCD roms need a carrier cab have you installed the cab? I'm pretty sure the phone won't be able to make calls without the cab installed. 1 more Q what service do you have?

When I flash the radio it goes to 8% flashes a red light and then resets. I have also tried both methods of flashing but none works. When I bootup the phone it does still say 3.27 as the radio. I have also tried to install a carrier cab but have had no luck.
Try updating to Hard SPL 2.47
The 3.27 Radio is NOT compatible with ANY DCD version 3.X and higher..... Have you read the Wiki? Can you flash the radio using the SD card method? All of your questions have answers in the Wiki.....
You should flash back to 2.3.2. Go into the bootloader(tri-color screen) and then flash 2.3.2 to the phone..... reboot it.... it should load up ok.... If this works for you to this point, you have several options to upgrade the radio ..... Read the Wiki....

sprint touch pro
stock sprint rom and stock radio 1.03, reflashed radio rom to 1.14, completed with no errors. i see new version# on boot, works great.
later, reflashed to mighty rom, i look at boot and radio rom is back to 1.03?
so i reflash radio again to 1.14. completes with no errors. boot still says radio 1.03.
help?
I am pretty sure the radio you tried to flash is for GSM Raphaels not the CDMA Raphaels.
Okay Now I KNow Im New So Plz Dont Flame. I Tried Searching But Couldnt Find A How To. Once I Flash the new rom the phone will automatically reset but i get stuck at the new splash screen.i was told i should probably install a new radio rom. which i have. but i dont know how to flash just the gps. anybody help please.
You must install by sd method

Okay, lets start from the top. Did you flash it with a new SPL first? What ROM did you use? And what radio did you use? If you don't have the correct radio, a reboot loop will occur, which means you just need to flash it with a GPS enabled radio like the newer 3.42.50. That will overwrite your current radio and bring you back to speed.
are you saying the only way to flash the radio is to use the sd card?

Probably a bad flash. Flash the ROM again. If your phone is unlocked with spc code all zeros and you have olipro 2.40 bootloader and GPS radio 3.35 and up you should have no problems with Custom Titan ROMs. After you re-flash hard reset and pull the battery for a couple minutes.
I currently run BAMF 1.09 rom with the radio that goes along with it. I sold my phone and installed the original HTC Factory Rom but i forgot to install the radio to go along with it. the HTC Rom is about 6-7 months old so my question is what radio do i need for this? Also, i assume all i need to do is install the radio through bootloader and it should have a connection. Currently the verizon told the person i sold the phone to the radio was broken. thanks for your help in advance. I forgot to check but believe the ROM is FROYO.
Did you just restore from a nandroid or did you install a stock file? Your easiest bet is to install a stock file from the bootloader (JUST like a radio) to restore completely to stock.
