[Radios] [S-Off] CDMA+LTE Links Live again for experienced users - HTC Rezound

I am not responsible for any damage to your device! .
DO NOT mix ICS and GB Radios. DO NOT ask how to install these radios, I feel if you must ask how your not ready to handle the task and the demons that may occur, there are many threads on how to do these things.
If you end up goofing up and realize you have no or fluctuating 4G do the following.
1. Flash the RUU of your choice.
2.Upon installation flash nothing! reboot into HBOOT and select clear storage and let it run its course (remove sdcard if you want even though it wont wipe external card
3. Reboot phone normally verify everything is smooth
4. Optional- Flash Eng Hboot for GB or the Juopunutbear modified Hboot for ICS
5. Alternate Fix- Ive heard that you can flash stock recovery to the phone via fastboot reboot into hboot and select clear storage and will have same effect to get 4G working. Custom recoveries do not work to fix the issue via wipe menu. I only state use RUU of your choice as it gives you a clean slate and can be ruled out down the line in troubleshooting
Heres my compilation of CDMA+LTE Radios.
They are available as they came from RUU or Individual for mix n match.

What roms will this work with?
sent from my Clean Rezound

I would think any. Its just the radio. At least with GB ROMs.

It game from GB, so will work there. I ran it on RezRom S4 as well but not more than a few minutes to test it out so it appears to work for GB, ICS 3.6 sense based roms, and the ICS 4.0 evita based ones as well.
Of course I cant atest to the battery life on each just yet thats going to vary from user to userand rom to rom

Would it be pretentious of me to ask for the leaked ICS radios in this form?
I'm not quite up to packaging things on my own just yet...the S-Off method had my hair on end

I know at some point in the leaks, the new firmware changed the mount points for the memory... internal and SDcard I believe.
It messes with the OS seeing all or any of the memory.
If this change is in the radios then people might have issues mixing GB and ICS ROMs and radios.
If it is in Hboot, we don't need to worry.
There are a couple versions of ICS leaked firmware, the newest is the problem child for some people. Maybe we need to have the other leaked versions as well.

Hi no,
Would you please create RUU 2.xx.xxx radio ?
Thanks

True but theres a large handful of other files in the firmware and I dont think that radio firmware will contain the memory mount points

Anyone try flashing the new radios on old firmware?

Yes. It crushed my 4G. Whats interesting is that I have stronger signal with the older radio.
Ah, this reminds of the days of my Incredible.

And you concluded that from what exactly? Did you try messing up with the framework and it worked for you? Thought so.
Point is, till this time, no one knows for sure where the issue is in. Some say it's the RIL others suggest the framework..etc. I for one, is keeping all the options open.

When the sms fails to be sent, it's due to trying to use the CDMA service and not the gsm as per logcat. Additionally this was a problem on stock GB radio, OTA GB radio and leaked ICS radio. So none of the available radios are capable of resolving the issue.
It's a software side problem and the only two things left to research is RIL and framework.
and just a friendly advice, don't come off like an douche, we all want the same thing

Thank you for posting these for the community.

ics radio question.

Do i need to be on the new radio to run an ics custom rom? Im currently still on gb and i dont want to relock and run the ruu.

Yes and no. No, you can just run one of the new ROMs with the patch that is posted. Yes, you should just update and run the RUU because things will be, in general, much smoother for you. Your choice, though.
What are some of the bugs of the new radio?
Bugs? I've got none. It runs incredibly well. And I'm on the Dev edition of CleanROM.
Or just flash an older ics rom. Cleanrom 3 is based off the old leaks, so you don't have to flash leaked firmware.
i asked because usually you do not have to be on a specific radio to run a rom. i don't really like running leaked radios.

[FIRMWARE] ICS/GB Firmware combo's

S-OFF DEVICES ONLY
I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE, IF YOU HAVE DATA ISSUES FROM SWITCHING FIRMWARES YOU MUST FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FACTORY RESET IN HBOOT
DO NOT S-ON THE ENG OR JB HBOOT OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
ANYTHING DONE AT THIS POINT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOT MINE
So what is this?
Well ill answer that, these are Hboot/Radio/Firmware Combos
What do you do with these?
The purpose of these is avoid performing a full RUU if you would like to upgrade or downgrade firmwares/radios
So why do these include Hboot/radio/firmware files, cant we just flash the radios?
NO, mix and matching all of these has be known to cause data issues. Its best to flash the whole set to prevent data issues
How do you flash these?
Assuming you checked the MD5 sum, just rename these to PH98IMG.zip and place on the root of your external sdcard
New firmware patch huh?
This is simply for those upgrading to ICS firmware on a GB rom Or and ICS rom that had the gingerbread patch flashed over it
Whats the difference between the stock Hboots and the JB/ENG Hboots?
Simply, These Hboots have fastboot commands enabled WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader
I suggest if you use fastboot alot to use these hboots
Thanks to CharliesTheMan i now have a spot on AndroidFileHost
Heres how to tell which file you need
Each file will be named accordingly
[Firmware][Hboot version][JB or Stock hboot][Date of leak if applicable]
So an example would be [GB][2.11][JB]PH98IMG.zip
i suggest you check the MD5 and if you dont know what an MD5 is then you need to research what it is before flashing any of these
Here's the Link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=3054
Thanks to the JuopunutBear Team for getting us S-off, Jcase for the leaked Hboot
Very very nice. Thank you. Flash this and a GB rom, and it's on old firmware.
superchilpil said:
Since i didnt want to run the gingerbread ruu and mess with nandroiding back to get the eng hboot i made this
This is the eng hboot bundled up with the old firmware, you ust use the old firmware patch to run ics roms after flashing this
just place it on the root of your sd card, rename, and reboot to hboot
It will reboot once during the flash this is normal
DISCLAIMER: IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE DOING THIS, YOU MUST BE S-OFF AND AS ALWAYS CHECK THE MD5 SUM

Credits go to Jcase for the hboot, and to whom ever made the old firmware patch

This is what I've been running by default after s-off. Has been rock solid. Don't think I'll change for now as many are having issues and/or experimenting. I'll just wait and see what people come up with. Great job in doing this...

So if we are on ICS, we flash this to get back to GB?

This will only downgrade your firmware. Your rom should be left intact. However you will need to flash the GB firmware patch over your rom immediately after doing this or you will have problems. If you want to downgrade android itself, flash a gb rom after doing this or just flash the whole gb ruu

this is the hboot for gb or ics depending on which rom you are using or about to install. the firmware patch is to fix most mounts if using ics roms
Thanks guys. So IF I also run the Firmware patch (For ICS) would it still work for a GB ROM?

The firmware patch also fixes an audio lib that causes constant reboots.
I am on stock rooted 2.01 with all original firmware. If I use both of the files is the OP along with one of the ICS roms will everything work correctly? If not what would I need to do? I would prefer to stay on the GB firmware as I have been getting great service, 3g and 4G speeds.

If your stock then you don't need to flash the hboot file unless you just want the eng hboot, you could just use cons for that
This is meant to downgrade those who upgraded their firmware to the new ics leak
But if you just want to run an ics Rom with the old firmware then just flash the patch in recovery and you should be good

[Q] ? about wanting to run ICS VM leak

Ok so i have been out of the ROM loop for a bit, so i figured i would ask questions before trying to do so. I am wanting to run the newest ROMs running the leaked ICS VM base, but everywhere i see, it says to upgrade your firmware? I've looked all over the place and have yet to see the upgradeable firmware i need to do so! Can anyone please clarify this for me or at least point me in the right direction.
You don't need to upgrade anything. I'm on the original firmware and the only thing that was working,but has since stopped was the camera. I also haven't updated the rom since it was released, so that could be the problem. I did run into a problem when I first installed it. Using rm -rf instead of formatting the partitions did not work. It kept boot looping, but changing it back to format worked.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
well see my issue now is that i flashed it just fine like i would any other ROM (no FW upgrade) but it sits on the splash screen. this now happens with ALL ICS ROMs. at first they randomly rebooted but now the only ones that work on it are older ROMS (GB, FROYO) but ICS will not boot. i guess i might have to wait until the offical release hits for us

DO NOT FLASH THE VIRGIN MOBILE FIRMWARE / VIRUS!!!!!!!!
As for the bootlooping, if you are hboot 1.5 s-on, then ICS does that unless you use Chad's kernel (which breaks USB and 3d camera). I recommend you get s-off by downgrading to hboot 1.4 or use the wire trick. See my signature or the stickes in the cdma development forum (assuming you are CDMA) for more information.

Calm down bud. There is no virus but he is correct. Do not update if you have hboot 1.5 if you are s off then fire ahead using the update package from freeza. Then use the mod to convert it to sprint. After that go be flash happy.

I'm not the one who called it a virus - many of the devs who worked tirelessly trying to rid our phones of that firmware coined that one. From what I've read throughout the forums, I would highly recommend against flashing that, even using the mod to convert it to Sprint. Every ICS ROM I have tried (CDMA) has ran fine using Freeza's all in one version 2.17.

Could be only s-on people had issues removing it, but I personally would not risk it. The ics roms all work fine without it if you are s-off. Deadlocked I am genuinely asking (seriously not trying to be argumentative): what benefit you see from using it since afaik, there is none.

If I'm S-ON can I downgrade my firmware?

I'm currently rooted and I'm running team viper 1.03. However, I updated previously to the leaked ICS 5-7 firmware which came with some pretty crappy radios for me. I use to get much higher 4g speeds, and I'd like to return to the gingerbread ones. I saw this thread and I was wondering if it was safe to flash these firmwares here:

There's no mention about s-on anywhere so I'm not sure.

S-OFF was very easy to do and really is worth the few minutes that it takes. Just make sure you download the correct version for your firmware.

For those of us who are soff and on custom roms (but not crazy ones like sense 4.0), is there a way to just get the new radio and kernel without too much pain (nandroid with 10x wipes or bricks). Thanks

if you want to use the radio for GSM ability then you would need to use the frame work that is packaged with the update or wait the devs to update there roms.
as of now. the new radio only added GSM stuff to the already packaged radio that came with ICS leak months ago. unless you plan on using GSM its not going to do anything for ya.
but if you dont want to run it you will needed to use the zip and then use this rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830859

There is a link in this thread that will take you to the various combos of radio/hboot. Don't mix and match...and the 5/7 radio/hboot combo is the same as in the OTA.

There's a new firmware/radio combo that came out over the weekend that isn't posted there yet.
Also, the new kernel only works with the new base, it won't boot on existing ICS roms.
