Hey everyone, I'd like to gather some information about radios/updating them on the phone!
First off, some background on my device:
Running CM7 gingerbread,
S-off and rooted
TWRP 2.0
Radio: 0.97.10.0530
Hboot 1.4
First off, I'd like to know..how old is my radio?
Secondly, how do I update my radio?
Thirdly, what is the benefit to updating the radio?
Thank you so much!
usually a custom rom or chef will specify the radio recomended for his rom. if not, it means the radio is included and it's meant to stay like that. try asking in the respective thread
Ok no. A rom developer can recommend what radio to use yes "although Ive yet to see one do so" but roms for the Evo3d cdma/gsm don't include radios. Your radio is totally different from your rom that's why you can change upgrade or downgrade them.

For more info on how to change your radio.

This may be a totally stupid question, but I can't find it in the Wiki or anywhere else.
What happens when I download the rom package from HTC and run their updater? Will this brick my phone, or will it work as normal but just lock SPL again?
My Raph is HardSPL'd, security unlocked and running custom rom and radio. I am getting a bit tired with all the instabilities, bugs and problems with custom roms and want to go back to htc stock for a while. The latest version which I want to use is not available on here as rom only, so I can only use the .exe package from HTC.
Thanks.

You can go to stock HTC without touching the security lock or the SPL ( unless you want to give back for warranty ).
You can get the latest Stock HTC ROM from HTC support website ( for your country ) its free.
It will change your radio as well.
It will not brick your phone.
If you plan to flash a custom ROM in future you should not touch the SPL and Unlock.
If you don't want to Flash Stocks any more read the tutorial in my signature by MSkip.
Follow the steps and you won't brick your phone.
You should have searched a little MORE before starting a new thread.
Hi all,
I got a HTC Flyer P512.
It is running a Eng build Honeycomb rom I guess.
Since it is not so stable and not localized to my place, I would like to flash it with a stock rom image.
But before that, I would like to know more about that since I am not not so familiar with that.
1. I see that my flyer is Eng S-Off, will it turn to Ship S-ON if I flash a stock rom for that?
2. If I make a full backup for that? Can all the things be able to restore back (include Eng S-OFF and rooted Eng build system) by that, and how?
Thanks for that.
I have little experience on handling Xoom but HBoot and RUU in flyer is new to me.
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362639
and do some reading. Information is available for all your questions.
We didn't make a YouTube video because we are all so ugly the cameras cracked.
Thanks for your quick response.
I read the thread before.
According to this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18508220&postcount=2
I found that my cidnum is 11111111
Which is not mentioned. However after I do some research, I found that it is a superCID.
Does it mean that My machine is S-OFF in permanently and can be able to flash any rom I want, and such kind of cid can not be changed by software in anyway?
Thanks!
OK, that's a new one to me. I recommend you contact Globaltron on the forum here and ask him. He's the expert on models, boot, etc.
That appears to be a US model, so you would have to flash a US RUU to return to stock if that is the case. Not sure what the effect of having Eng S-OFF is . If you do successfully flash a stock RUU it will return you to S-ON, locked. Then you have to go through the process to obtain S-OFF again
Thanks again!
My Flyer is got from Google ADL last year.
It is running an eng build Android 3.2 with testkey.
Therefore I am wondering if that is a engineering machine without any flashing limitation.
Thank you again.

If you saw my post on general subforum, you may noticed we have same flyer model. Which from contacting with Globaltron is Prerelease Engineering Model of Htc Flyer.
I also get the cid: 11111111 from my device.
I'm trying to install a stock wwe rom now and see what will happen.
Thanks or your reply.
I use RUU to updae my flyer to HK wifi room.
It works!
It turns from ENG S-OFF to SHIP S-OFF.
Cid remains 11111111
That is expected, you had ENG not SHIP s-off. Run revolutionary to get S-OFF again.
Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5
hi
My evo 3d is s-off and I upgraded radio to this version :
11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M from official release 3.28.707
and now VPN does not work and all browser open pages very slow.
can I downgrade my radio?
Is it important that I downgrade to specific radio or it is possible to flash every radio?
Please guide me.
thanks
Since you are s-off, you can downgrade to any radio you choose. Find one that everybody says works well and flash that.

From my understanding, the new T-Mobile OTA to 4.4 should bring us a new version of hboot and radio.
According to a firmware flashing post in the main HTC One forum, wifi calling is baked into T-Mobile's radio.
Now that I want to go to a 4.4.2 custom ROM, I have two questions.
How do ViperOne and InsertCoin manage to incorporate Wifi calling if the functionality is baked into the radio? Or does this mean they have the new radio and I will get all the optimizations supposedly to come with a new version?
I understand that Hboot version 1.56 is coming with 4.4. I'm currently on 1.55. Does this have any implications on me updating? Should I wait for the OTA update then convert to a custom ROM since technically, if I do it right now, I'm on a different base?
I'm really confused since this is my first HTC phone. My old Sony never was this complicated.
If I said anything wrong could you please explain? Thanks!
