I have this weird issue where I am on Hboot version 2.27, but somehow my raids are out of date. I understand the process to update both but not one at a time. From what I remember you cannot run the RUU or is the same ph98img if you are already in the hboot your updating to. Does anyone know how to just update the radios? If you need more info check Stangs CM thread in the Q&A section of the forums it is the first question asked in that thread. Stang provided and answer but was not 100 percent sure if his solution was correct can anyone confirm our send me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

I've never heard anything about not running an RUU that's the same hboot as your current one. A lot of people run it just to get back to stock.
I just ran the global RUU, flashed a custom ROM, then ran the same global RUU and reflashed the same custom ROM because for some reason after the first ROM flash my baseband info was showing up as "unknown" in my phone.
I'm s-on if that makes any difference, but my understanding of it is that it wouldn't.

I am currently running Nils Business ICS Sense 3.6 v3.3 and I am not sure if I am running the new RUU leak. In settings, under build number, it says "3.11.605.22 CL339740 release-keys"
Would flashing the patch that was posted in Nil's OP for the ROM make my phone think i am running 3.11.605.22 even though I am running the old firmware? Or does this mean I installed this new firmware when I recently unlocked my bootloader?
Thanks
First way to tell is in your bootloader it will say "Tampered" at the top. Second is the version is 2.21.0000. If your phone is working fine then don't worry about flashing the new firmware. Wait for the update.
OR
did you remember ever going into hboot and installing the RUU?
Easiest ways to tell;
Tampered and hboot version as stated above. Also the new radios are 1.xxx, old ones are 0.9xx. All of this info is found in hboot.

So, I updated to the leaked kernel and would like to get back to stock. I know we had to wait for s-off, and since we have it now I was hoping for a how-to. I see we have a back to stock radio but what about the stock RUU? I am still getting used to all the terms here. Learning the difference from kernel/RUU/Radio/Rom. I am only confused on kernel and RUU.
I do have s-off.
Thanks All,
XDA user are the best
I would avoid flashing the radios. I would flash the latest GB RUU. After that you can flash and downgrade your hboot to the eng hboot 2.11 if you would like. Then go about how you would have dine before to run ics roms with the firmware patch unless the dev says otherwise......
If I am wrong someone will correct me.....as I have not done this.

BeringBullet, are you rooted? I ask because I also installed the ICS leak and want to go back to stock but I dont want to root.
Does anyone have a link to the GB RUU? I cant find a working one.
Not the most recent one but you can update over the air:

Then I assume you haven't done S-OFF? You will have to root to do the exploit. If afterward you run the GB RUU and flash the eng HBOOT, you can run stock unrooted ROM.
Word of warning; IF you flash the eng hboot after RUU'ing back to GB. Don't attempt bringing S-ON back to the device as you will brick to an unusable state.
Here's a write-up I made in another thread, just a quick summary of what steps to take. You can leave the stock hboot but if you wish to flash radios and/or s-on you will need to unlock.

I have Hboot 1.15, Fresh EVO OS. And used the Regaw Autoroot following the OTA Update. I heard you can do this using fastboot or HTCdev, but I'm not sure how to do this... And could not find any answers (My concern is that the new FRESH updates use the new radios, and I updated to it, but can't flash the new radios)
If this has already been answered I apologize, but I couldn't find it.
Thank you for the help!
Dude there's threads all over the forum about this issue. Just spend 2minutes looking and you'll be all set

You can't update radios if you are s-on hboot 1.15. Your only option to update the radios is to relock and take the ota or install the new ruu. Then unlock again, install twrp, and then install your favorite rom. As many will state, never take the ota because you may loose ability to get s-off in the future. This may be true, but there is no s-off solution for your hboot anyway so you might as well bite the bullet now and live in the present instead of waiting for something that may never happen in the future.
Interesting. All right Thanks for your help. And as for there being threads "all over" I was getting conflicting reports, since I saw on one page where it was possible to flash using HTCdev with S-on, but there was no link or instructions given.
To address ur main concern, there is no need to update your radios. If you want to run a rom that is based off the latest update all u need to do is make sure your kernel matches the kernel in the rom. You can update your kernel with Flash img GUI, found in the app store. Just download the rom u want open flash img GUI select the rom and choose to flash kernel img. Once complete, wipe and flash rom. Njoy!

Then how do i proceed to relock my bootloader if I am 1.5 so i can receive the OTA?
Fastboot OEM lock
This stuff is in my guide, I wish more people would actually read it lol

S-on hboot 1.12
Ok, so I'm rooted, s-on with hboot 1.12. I was able to do the firmware update and update the radios. I've read like crazy and I'm not seeing anywhere I can update the PRI without s-off. Is this correct? One thread said I can flash anything since I'm hboot 1.12 so I'm confused.

If you're on hboot 1.12, I suggest using lazypanda to get s-off right away before doing anything else.

I'm a little bit hesitant to do that since I've read it can go crazy wrong and I'm not as savvy with the phones as the folks on the forums. Do I have to though in order to update my PRI?
I'm not sure, I've been s-off since I got the phone.

I am S-ON HBoot 1.15. Is it possible to flash HTC Stock recovery, go to stock rooted rom, use OTA root Keeper and take the new OTA?
You don't need OTA root keeper because your going to have to do HTC dev to unlock the device again.
With that being said I wouldnt recommend taking the OTA or running the ruu to update because you'll be on the new hboot

Not to mention the new base for stock has introduced a few of its own issues that the new firmware/hboot can not fix. Several people have attempted to downgrade thinking its the best alternative and brick their phones in doing so. The new firmware doesn't change much anyway
Do I need to update radios? What is the benefit of updating radios, RUU's, etc.

latest RUU is 4.03.605.2 which i think has 2.22.10.0801r, 2.22.10.0803r
with 2.27 Hboot which you can check by going into bootloader
im not a radio genius. So someone correct me if I'm wrong
but check the rest of your "about phone section" for RUU information
4.03.605.2 is the newest radio just google i and you will find it. I use this one and I think it has more stable 4G signal,
Be advised that 4.03.605.2 is a Leak. Since you are s-on if you flash the global leak you will not be able to take any official OTAs.
I would use the official RUU which will update you and then take the OTA that just came out a couple weeks ago. Find the RUU here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
It's the top one, 3.14.605.12
Then if you are not happy with your reception you can always go up to the global leak if you want, you just can't go back down to a lower version without s-off.
Before you do this back up everything you need as this will wipe your phone and put it to factory stock.
You need to relock your phone to run it:
fastboot oem lock
And then you'll need to unlock again and flash Amon Ra before flashing a custom ROM again.
Question about "build"

So, this build number is confusing me. This is what I presently have and I'm not sure how I got here
Baseband 2.22.10.0801 /....803
Hboot 2027
Build 1.11.401.110
Seems like everyone else with this radio combo is on build 4.03 or something like that.
Is there any advantage to me upgrading to that build? I am S-Off and hate the prospect of relocking or having my internal SD wiped if I don't have to go through that.
Build number has nothing to do with firmware. It's set by the ROM. You're already on the global firmware.

Thanks. I can sleep now.
Is there a rooted version of the RUU? I'm relatively new to locking and unlocking my device so I'm not sure if I'm ready to do all that by myself. (a friend helped me root my device in the past)

Ruu takes away root when you flash it. But you can re root in custom recovery

Ok thanks, I thought i read somewhere that there are custom RUU's that are built specifically for root users but i guess not.
Oh I've never heard of that befor. You may be thinking of the option of downgrading hboot for s-off users
Those are flashed the same way like ruu's

I have the original stock rom for the Droid DNA. Right now I am rooted, S-Off, and unlocked. I want to return the phone to stock but unfortunately If I do that I have to use the method where I get the CID 2222222 and I get that warning message when the phone boots up. I don't wanna see that. I have a possible trade/sale going on and I want to know my options.
All of the stock roms here have no radio or kernel. And no one is saying how to get the radio or kernels for 2.06. Just asking for a little clarification and any help is appreciated.
There is a 2.06 firmware zip somewhere...
Sent from my DLX using xda app-developers app
just flash the stock radio in fastboot as for stock kernel look for insecure kernel in og section and you must go into theme area where there is a thread for flashing a hboot from stock to rid your self of that message
Te radios updated but not the software. Radio is based off te 2.06 software update but the actual software still reads 1.15. Could it be because I am SuperCID and unlocked with S-OFF I cant update the software version?
