HTC Desire V (T328W) : Update radio after installing custom ROM. - HTC Desire V

* disclaimer, I ‘am only new on android so this procedure might include flaws and perhaps unnecessary or stupid steps. There might be better ways although it worked for me. You have to reinstall your apps. Of course I ‘am not responsible if your device gets bricked. Pay notice you will have to reinstall you’re apps again and probably a redo a lot of settings. Backup your data well
Thanks to kingcedz who got me started.
This procedure will get your radio updated to version 1.06. (at least it did in my case)
If you have installed a custom ROM already you are unable to update the radio version. In my case I had symptoms that for example the Facebook app and Google play did work over 3G even at high speed, but internet browsing was impossible. The radio update solved this.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMANDABLE TO UPDATE THE RADIO ALSO. VERSION 1.04 DOESN’T WORK WELL ON SOME OPERATORS.
If you want to do so, we have to go through some drastic measures though. Pay notice again the result will be like a fresh install!
1. Backup all data from your phone.
2. If your bootloader locked, unlock it first.
a. For this I ‘am referring to this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28172565#post28172565
Follow the ‘bootloader unlocking’ instructions first.
3. Backup your system.
a. Boot into fastboot (or you are already there!)
b. Go to bootloader
c. Go to recovery
d. Choose ‘backup and restore’
e. Choose ‘backup’
4. Lock phone
a. Boot into fast boot
b. Connect USB
c. With command prompt : “fastboot oem lock”
5. Install original RUU
a. Reboot system
b. Connect USB
c. Run original RUU.exe. In my case it was “RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Radio_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed.exe”. Google will find you some downloads.
d. Follow onscreen instructions.
6. System will be rebooted. Follow setup instructions. Don’t bother too much with the settings, although make sure you set language to English and set up a WIFI if possible. That will be useful for downloading the update.
7. Update OTA
a. Go to settings >> about >> software updates >> check now
b. If asked select to download the update.
c. After downloading select ‘Install now’.
d. This will take a while. When finished you can check your version in about >> software version. Baseband should be 1.06.34D.05_20.22.30.23U and ruu should be 1.59.401.1
8. Unlock phone
a. Boot into fastboot
b. Connect USB
c. Run “fastboot flash unlocktoken” unlock_code.bin
9. Reinstall clockwork recovery
a. Boot into fastboot
b. Connect USB
c. Run command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
10. Restore backup
a. Boot into fastboot (or you are already there!)
b. Go to bootloader
c. Go to recovery
d. Choose ‘backup and restore’
e. Choose ‘restore’
f. Choose backup image (check backup date to get correct one if you have multiple)
g. Scroll all the way down until you see ‘yes’. Select ‘Yes’. (google must think if we get to this place we still are not sure what we are doing)
11. To make WIFI and BT work if they don’t work.
a. Follow step 9 of this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751788
12. Reboot!
a. Set up your phone to your preferences
b. Everything should be OK now. You have to reinstall you’re apps.
Enjoy!

I wouldn't know for sure I think so would you be able to restore a backup when it is s-on?
Did you order from Etotalk? I would reccomend going through my procedure first. I think you can skip the restore backup part you will end up with chinese ROM.
And after that i would reccomend installing European ROM. It includes Google Play.
After that you might need step 11 from my procedure if BT and WIFI are not working.

Myn came from etotalk a month ago and I still had an old baseband version and also ROM version.

There are custom roms out for the T328w?!?!?!
Or are you talking about the default European ROM, or the default Taiwan ROM, and China ROM

htc desire v
We need some help from people from china. there is a new RUU which contains the new radio. Can somebody upload this file?
RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.71.1402.1_Radio_1.07.34D.17_20.24.30.25U_release_272837_signed.exe
Now the question is how to go from a custom rom from radio 1.06 to1.07?
I suppose that we have to relock the bootloader do a backup from custom recovery of our custom rom, flash the above exe to stock, unlock the bootloader again and flash custom recovery again.
We need the above RUU to try it.
thank you
edit we cannot go back to radio 1.04 from 1.06 and do ota since 1.04 contains older HBOOT

---

htc t238w
u only need the ruu zip china radio 1.04 and rename it PL11IMG
then relock your bootloader and flash it
after check for update and setting
but to root the phone back is another problems

---

htc desire v
Thank you for the info.
we need to flash the complete stock rom with radio 1.04 with the method you mentioned or just the radio 1.04?
Where can I find the flashable zip file to remane it as you said?
I have this file RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Rad io_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed. exe. I dont think we can extract a zip flashable file from this file.
Now my device has unlocked bootloader, radio 1.06 (came with it) and installed european russian version and custom recovery.
I installed the european version using the pesudoflashig tools.
Can you give more details and upload the zip file needed?
thank you again

---

re
i have upload the rom for u ,rename it PL11IMG hotfile.com/dl/166036511/bfaa4a2/romPL11IMG.zip.htm
but my radio was 1.04 same as the zip ,so i dont know if it will work whit your radio version or not
good luck if you update and root your phone please let me know because didn't the the way to my and i try to downgrad back from 1.07 to 1.04 : main version is older update fail...

---

htc desire T328W
Thank you very much for the link. it cant work by flashig RUU or zip file renamed which contains oldest radio. update failed.
Actually I found the latest RUU with the newest radio from http:// b b s .zhangku.com. Flashed succesfully the new rom and my radio seems to work much better.
Radio 1.06 for me was not working well with my operators and I was loosing signal in sim 1 so I had to do upgrade.
The next step no is to unlock again bootloader flash back recovery and go back to europe rom with radio 1.07 using pseudoflashig tools or falseclock method.
I dont care much about root since europe rom contains by defauld gapps, but you can check the above site for any solution.
thanks

htc t328w
finaly i fond to install europ rom whit radio1.07
everything fine but no 3g data connection, but i will find solution

OK, guys. We have official ruu and unlocked bootloader. So, why can't we extract radio.img n then use a command like fastboot flash radio radio.img? Or did I misunderstand anything?
