I have a xda to repair.
problem is that the radio stack upgrade failed.
i have installed the pcc2003 rom wich lets me boot into windows
(ppc2002 roms dont allow this. They seem to wait on the gsm to turn on)
now i could install the radio update. each update fails (latest series)
i know from way back that the older radio updates had a different radio update procedure. I also know i fixed a lot of radio update errors with the old update
where can i find old radio updates?
older then Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703.exe
Let me know if you find it, I need it also, I found the stack previous to 4.21 but it gets to 1% and fails.
have a look here

i tried this one already
it is an older version, you have to press start to start the radio update
newer ones start directly
i think we still need a little older
I have JF 1.5 Developer flashed onto my phone and have changed some images in the framework-res.apk
and i have noticed an issue with bluetooth where it will connect to my JVC hands free and i can dial number and awnser calls through it but the audio is still going through the handset.
It was working before i rooted my phone.
any ideas.
I think i may have found the issue, i didnt upgrade the radio when i flashed JF 1.5
Taken from HTC who JF got the developer build from
Each Android platform version is designed to run on top of a specifc version of the radio firmware. Typically, each successive release of the Android platform relies on a newer version of the radio firmware, so whenever you are planning to flash a new system image to your device, whether upgrade or downgrade, you should also update the radio firmware to the version expected by the platform. If you do not update your radio image, the system may encounter problems.

well updating the radio and flashing back to JF 1.5 has fixed the BT problem so it must have been something to do with the mods to the framework-res.apk or the android.policy.jar that screwed things up.
Yesterday, vodafone (in Germany) asked me to update my android to a newer build. Since then I can no longer use tethering. I tried in on two computers with which it worked before, so I know its not the computer.
the new version is:
firmware version 2.1 update 1
build number:
1.25.162.1 CL229476 release-keys
Is there anything I can do? would a factory reset help me? Is there an app that I can load to get tethering back?
Thanks in advance!

You will have to re-root your phone. Updating the firmware removes root
Did i get this right?
Re-rooting my phone means doing a hard reset?
what does it mean "it removes root" I am more of a newbie than I thought.
thanks!
To get the wifi tether to work you must've first used unrevoked tool to root the phone to get superuser permission and then installed wifi tether. You need to use it again after the update to 're-root'. You do not need a hard reset
I recently bought a used Verizon HTC Trophy. I registered it on Verizon and it works fine, both voice and data.
I suspect it may have been a developer phone. If it is I don't mind, but I do mind that I cannot update it using Zune. It keeps telling me that an Update is available (Mango), but when I try to update via Zune it fails with error 80180048.
The phone particulars are as follows:
OS version 7.0.7403.0
Firmware revision number 2305.06.10310.605
Hardware revision number 0003
Radio software version 1.52.00.01.16_23.13w.05.06U
Radio hardware version 3.2.3.D4
Bootloader version 1.3.230506.10
Chip SOC 2.3.0.5.6
The phone also has the following apps installed, which is why I think it may be a developer device.
zGestureBester
zSensorView
zServiceTools
zStartKIGL
Finally, when I turn the phone on it shows the bootloader version and the modem version in the uper left corner of the HTC splash screen.
I am wondering if the bootloader version (or firmware version) is keeping me from upgrading. I took a look around the internet and did not see any references to the .10 version of the bootloader, but I did see post which mentioned that the wrong bootloader can mess up Zune updates.
My preference would be to revert to a simple consumer phone, but at a minimum I'd at least like to be able to get the Mango and HTC radio updates onto the phone. Any suggestions would me much appreciated, and sorry for the noob post.
Thanks
Hello all!
I just got the push for the 4.4 upgrade on my phone but I wanted clear a few things up before I commit. I'm currently on a rooted 4.3 with a modded radio for LTE. Is it safe to just run the OTA update from my phone? Or is there another proper way to prevent bricking? How should I go about this?
Thanks guys!
There are a lot of variables such as programs and versions installed, but I tried the OTA under similar conditions as you (In my case I was rooted, hybrid 27/84 radio, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, Koush's superuser, and otherwise stock 4.3) and it just didn't work. I even reverted back to the old radio before I tried it, but it might be the modified build prop or LTE activation that caused the problem. The OTA did not brick my phone or cause any other problems, it just didn't change anything on my 4.3 install. I could see while the update was running that it failed right after examining my existing install, so it didn't like something with my existing system config. I then did the following from the advice on this forum and my upgrade to 4.4 went flawlessly (Post #13):

I just flashed the entire image of the os on top and didn't lose data. On twtp, LTE back, unlock boot loader from 4.3.
