Does anyone here know if the radio image distributed with the hero 2.1 update would work on the magic? I'm not eager to test, since if it does not, it will brick the phone, but the previous 6.35 radio images DID work, and we knew they work before HTC came out with 1.5 sense update.
How did that came to be? And is there any idea we can find this out before flashing ?
Some brave soul needs to actually try it. I don't believe there is any other way of knowing other than trying.
since when does a radio brick the phone?
ive erased my radio fully, multiple times..
now if you screw up fast boot.... then your hosed.
wyefye : if you're feeling bold then, how about you be the first one to try If you do succeed, and it works, please post pictures. If not, post too, so we may offer you condolences

DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU DON'T WANNA RISK BRICKING YOUR PHONE!! WE DO _NOT_ KNOW IF IT WORKS!!
But what's the point? AFAIK this radio is just a regional variation of the 6.35.xx.xx we all know and use.
I try to flash the new radio but when i reboot the radio its still the same.
Can some one try and see what happen.
well did it flash it ? What message did you get ? Did the loading bar appear in fastboot corner on the phone ?
Loading bar all the way trough, but it wont update.
And what did it say in cmd window ?
I flash the radio, boot, system and userdata but no luck, it wont load.

It's weird, but see what it says in About phone/Software information in your rom in settings.

Why did you expect it to work? The ROM is made for the Hero, not the Magic. This thread concerns only the radio, not the full ROM.

Right i decided to get rid of the "in the future" 1.65 radio and well downloaded the radio 1.59.44.04 used the same romupdateutility.exe as with the 3LIT3 Rom and well it has hard reset my device. So now i have to set it up again but for future use what should i have used. Would it have the the custom RUU that i have seen around here.
Thanks for the help and maybe in the future i wont make stupid and time wasting mistakes! lol
i've made good experience with flashing roms and radios with sd card only. so there is no need for any RUUs at all... if you haven't done it already, you'll find the howto in the wiki...
so flashing only radio never changed the rom... are you sure it was really only radio?

Welcome to the club Chris - have done the same thing myself!
There is another RUU that was created by udK that only flashes the radio. If you have a bit of a search you should be able to find it.
Hey thanks for that i knew there must be a way and had seen that floating around but it only hit me that it may reset when it was rebooting which was a little too late really...
Next time all will go smoothly
im wondering if i could get the non "raped" version of the 1.5 firmware for my dream and actually have a google phone... and not some half assed rogers mess.
right now i have a brand new HTC dream with 1.5 rogers, build 1.85
easiest way to unbrand it?
I wouldn't exactly call it a mess...Rogers hasn't done a lot to "brand it". 3 icons and a splash screen? I have seen way worse.
But to answer your question, check the developer forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448
You'd need to root it, then you can flah any Google source based build you want.
You'll want to start here
Don't be doing what is in that link, it involves writing a phone-killer spl to it.
You don't need to change the SPL or radio.
Root it, write on a boot.img with a kernel built from HTC's kernel source, and install your most preferred system.img.

Do you know where we could find this file? Also, if we already installed the danger spl and updated radio how can we go back? My radio locks up sometimes so maybe the new radio for the rogers dream will fix this issue.

Look in the various community builds to see if they mention having an HTC sourced kernel.... if you can't find one, download the source from developer.htc.com and compile it yourself.
As for going back from deathspl, I think I saw an official rogers nbh floating around somewhere... installing that should put the thing right back to stock and shouldn't be much risk of bricking.
I know you might not like Rogers rom,but I'd highly recommend the Rogers rom you can see in my signature,it's really nice,you can remove the Rogers apps,while you have apps2sd and all the goodies.That's the version I have been using for a couple of weeks and is really nice,plus the Hero theme is very nice.

here i have all current known radios for the Eris. these radios can be flashed via Amon_RA recovery. ive put them in update.zip format. so all u need to do is place them on the root of ur sdcard and flash like any other update.zip from recovery.
FLASH THESE AT UR OWN RISK. LIKE ANYTHING ELSE U DO TO UR PHONE. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE
INSTRUCTIONS
step one: download and put the desired radio update.zip on to the root of ur sdcard.
step two: flash the update.zip via Amon_RA recovery. by selecting update.zip from sdcard and choosing the radio zip u want.
step three once it flashes it will ask u to press a something to continue. do it and itll reboot and take a few seconds on a bootloader screen. once that finishes, it will reboot back into recovery. from there just choose reboot, to boot into android
step four go into settings>about phone>software information. under baseband is ur radio version. enyoy
now as for the question of which radio is better...
there is no good answer to this question. some enjoy results from different radios. an up graded radio will always do good. as it will most likely give better battery life and signal then the stock radio. all of these radios will work with any rom (1.5 - 2.1) and unless a dev has inclued a radio in their rom. the radio will always remain the same unless u flash it with another.
now for the question about why some radios say heroc instead of eris...
the heroc radio are just that... heroc radios from sprint. its a cdma radio so it works the same as verizon radio. dont believe me?! do a strings | grep on all the radios and u will see they are all using both sprint and verizon logins and such. also as right now im running the latest radio which is the heroc one. everything works fine and its the one ive had best results with on both my Sprint Hero and my wifes Verizon Eris. although others may find better results with other versions.
please feel free to post ur radio results here on this thread.

Nope, everything should work fine, i use to use sprint radio's all the time on my winmo devices, i allways thought they worked better
its only been 10 minutes or so since i flashed the latest radio, but my 'Time without a signal %' is at zero without the Airplane Mode trick will keep checking, but this seems to be good news! Not that I have ANY idea if that bug could even be related to this haha, but whatever, as long as it works..
edit: well over an hour now..still 0%
edit2: started doing it again after the next reboot, airplane trick still needed

just dont forget to give credit. i didnt get these radios in update.zip form. so i did all that work myself. also took the time to flash each of them before posting to make sure all was good and they all worked
Please be careful guys, I would not flash your radio without a reason to.
However thanks for the tutorial, I have another eris radio version, but I don't think it would be wise to flash it. Do you want it?
improved sig
have had the newest eris radio for a couple hours now and can say that the signal strength has signifigantly improved and can't confirm battery drainage at this point but the signal strength is there for sure...jcase why would it not be advisable to flash a radio update?

but yeah if u are sure u have an eris or sprint radio. then please give me the info and ill test it.

flashing anything can be risky. but i wouldnt have posted this or anything else that i have not tested myself. i wouldnt ever post something that would put anyones device at risk. ive flashed many radios and know what im doing. i wouldnt advise anyoone to go out and find mystery radios to flash as that is a sure fire way to brick ur device.

toastcfh of course you get credit, i'm just trying to have a nice organized site with tutorials and files locally hosted as an alternative. XDA becomes pretty cluttered at times. I hope you don't mind I did some spelling corrections
And for a quick review before flashing the heroc rom I had maybe 0-1 bars in my apartment, now I have 2-3 and calls connect EXTREMELY quick in comparison.

I have a reason to inform them they are running a risk. A lot of people out there have no clue what they are doing nor risks involved. If something happens, say some idiot pulled the battery, or flashed on a low battery, bad things could happen. or if a file happens to be corrupted.
I have the radios from stock 1.5, root 2.1 and leak 2.1, which do you not have.

Thanks

I got through that guide as well, but when it comes time to flash the rom, it hangs at 0% and then gives me error 262. I go through recovery but it still doesn't work. I dont have hardSPL either, is there any way to get HardSPL from bootloader? Also, when i try task 28 in mtty again, i get :
Format start
Fill RSVD information for block 351 to 384
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format end
also, the telus rom you can get from a search.
hm... Thats weird
i cant find the telus rom
I can only find the raw form, and i think you need to cook it or smthn
Anyway, if it doesnt work for you, it wont work for me either, cause we are having exactly the same problem.
It would be awesome if we can Install hard spl from bootloader.
But no1 seems to be able to help us.
We are the only users who are bothering to reply as it seems.
Is it an official signed rom you need or the recooked raws? (Not sure how successful I'll be but if it can help I will see if I can recook them.) As for the official signed rom, I haven't been able to find one myself as of yet.
we need the official telus signed rom
Because we didnt hard spl our phones, we're stack.
So either the official signed rom, or we need to find a way to hard spl our phones through the tricolor bootloader
Any ideas?
I'm stuck at the same with with my Mobilicity Snap. I went through the HardSPL and it said everything was successful but now my phone is bricked because I failed to notice SPL 1.24 still on the tri color screen. I also would like to know if there is a way to use MTTY, some other tool, or get hardspl onto the phone through the bootloader. HardSPL hangs on 0% from the boot loader for me.
Also tried MTTY task 28, task 29, reboot, reflash to no avail.
We all seem to have the same problem, I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.
I guess there's no luck finding a factory rom for the s510 series...?
You guys are braver than me, I won't attempt a flash unless I have an out waiting.
Come one ! Really there is no fix for the file with the bad code ?
I'd like to use the new radio with my oem Donut. Is it as simple as taking the file from one of the update guides and flashing it in the traditional manner? I'm kind of noobish so I'm reluctant to try to take one piece of a Froyo update guide and flash the radio. I'm not really in the market for a sleek black paperweight.
I wouln't do it!
This has BAD IDEA written all over it please don't try this. That being said why not upgrade to the official FROYO? I know it's hard to fathom after seeing ECLAIR in action but it truly is a totally different and better experience.

The hboot? Which hboot are you talking about? The first half of the ota update succeeded but the second half failed so I have the new SPL but not the new radio or OS.
The new radio does work with cm6, well cm6.1 rc1. I flashed it on my wife mt3g 3.5mm awhile ago, everything booted up just fine.

Cool, did you or she notice any improvements?
Yea i got to messed with it a little bit more, signal is pretty strong and stays constant, but that might vary from phone to phone, not much to say about the market since it was down a couple days back. Overall she is satisfied with it. Cant wait till it is ported to the 32b phones so we can take advantaged of the extra 10-15mb it frees up.

So I just flash this through recovery as I would any other zip file? Any idea if this is compatible with older roms? If I nandroid back to my oem 1.6 without rolling back to 23.02 will my phone explode? How about Eclair?
If I flash this is it just as easy to flash back to 23.02 if I need to for some reason?
Sorry for all the obsessive questions; I've never flashed a radio before so I don't know what it is that I don't know.

It worked for me, except it caused a bootloop because it's not compatible with the CM6 kernel, or at least ezterry's CM6 kernel. I had to flash back to 2.22.23.02.
If you're not using the oem t-mobile/android kernel, don't flash this radio.
I really want to know if this radio is compatible with oem Donut.
