Hello everyone. I'm in need of a radio zip for a phone where i cannot use fastboot procedure but i can use a recovery. I cannot find on google a signed ready for recovery flash system a zip wich contains 3.22.23.18 radio. Can anyone provide? Thank you very much
just curious - why can't you use fastboot? It's a lot safer to flash radio in fastboot, so why don't you just flash an engineering SPL first?
it was done the update to the new radio, and it has nand locked (writte protected) as many of you already know about it , So even after installing a SPL ENG, it continues to be SIG ON. It is needed a radio so that i can flash it on the recovery Thats why i cant use fastboot on that phone.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I've heard the command to unlock (S-OFF) the SPL 1.76.2007 is
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
never had to use it myself though.
I think downgrading to old radio and spl in this situation may prove to be a very bad idea - it probably can't be done safely from recovery, and even if you manage to do it without bricking, you may still have S-ON in fastboot (and the old-radio compatible SPL doesn't support the oem command above IIRC).
that comand worked only to reactivate SD card. not of turning SIG OFF. I tried but didnt work.
Damn, then that makes it yet another issue which nobody has solved though many claim it is solved, and some even claim it doesn't exist at all. Like the issue of GPS not working on old-radio custom roms.
hehehe but it exists. IT is on 4 people wich i've identified in portuguese handcets.
For some reason, none of the custom recoveries I install to my phone are working. I am rooted and running a custom Froyo ROM. What happens is that once I am in recovery and I select any option, when I get down to the actual setting that let me does anything (the actionable menu items), then the phone reboots and loads normally. I therefore cannot load any ROMs and/or change my Radio and/or SPL. My phone has the following info:
hboot - 1.76.0009
cpld - 12
radio - 6.35.08.29
What could be the issue? Please help. I've spent days trying to get this to work
It seems that your recovery partition is corrupted.
Try to flash the stock ruu to reset the phone, and then start the root process all over again.
Thanks. I'm having issues creating the goldcard, but that was my very intention. Is there no other way to repair the recovery partition? What could cause it to do that?
I'm also having issues getting my phone to sync with HTC Sync. The damn thing just won't
Hmm... you can maybe fix by flashing misc partition first.. then recovery..
How do I do that?
Run these commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
Then i will upload a misc.img special for you..

Thank you so much. I still am not able to even do this though I tried this in Fastboot with USB attached but it says not found. I can't get into ADB SHELL because if I do ADB DEVICES, then nothing comes up. It only works when I am in Windows and connect the phone via USB. I'm starting to think there's no way out of this
Oh wait, I got it to work
fastboot getvar version-main returns version-main: 3.05.421.3
fastboot getvar cid returns HTC__016D`☻└
It looks like a smiley face with the letter 'L' but the 'L' is up and to the right of the smiley face (almost like it's exponential).
Sorry for the delay... just finished defending my bachelor... been very busy!
Here you go... one special made misc.img
https://rapidshare.com/files/3128536171/miscMod.img
Flash it using flash_image, e.g.
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image misc /sdcard/miscMod.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/rec.img
reboot recovery
NB: i made a special thing for you..now your system version i 1.00.401.5... you can flash any sappimg you want... just in case :0)

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it
I wanted to change the model id(mid) and therefore I got S-Off done. I later found out that stock hboot provides a curtailed list of fastboot oem commands. It doesn't include writemid, writecid to name a few. Therefore I got the command error when I tried to use writemid using fastboot oem.
Is there a way to alter hboot to add those fastboot oem commands or is there a way to directly alter mid(with S-Off it should be possible I would think provided there is enough info about what should be changed and at what offset)? If we had the Engineering hboot available then that would accomplish it as well I guess.
Any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I just converted my AT&T to Europe model PN0710000 installed RUU and installed OTA unlocked. Changed my MID via ENG Hboot :good: conversion is def NOT for the faint of heart and could BRICK easily with one mess up so now my model reads PN0710000 instead of dev edition/ AT&T model ID so it works and is possible
Sweet, thought that might work.
Interesting, I've got an ASIA model (that's what is supplied in Australia) but again it's a different MID so we can't flash Euro WWE and ASIA releases seem to be very very slow, even for unbranded.
One thing though... did it change any of the network bands as far as you can tell? I 100% need one of the bands that EURO models do not have (need 3G850, euro drops that for 800 LTE). AFAIK it's the same radio hardware but I don't know how the phone works out what bands to make available, and therefore don't know if this is going to stuff me up.

Awesome, thanks for figuring this out. Are you gonna post instructions? I wonder if someone could come up with a script to ease the chance of brickage.. I wouldnt be disapointed if you didnt post them.. Could be a mess. Most people really wont need to do this anyway.

I don't know about bands.. as far as instruction's. i'll see if I could get to something if someone does not beat me too it. the thing is once you overwrite hboot with the DNA boot. the phone does not boot back into hboot without holding power and down volume. so at first I thought my phone was bricked. once you change MID.example.. PN0710000 and CID you want. weather it be HTC__001 or 11111111 you can go ahead and flash the WWE. but first you have to put the phone into RUU mode with fastboot oem rebootRUU.......... . once it starts it will overwrite hboot with a htc one. but it will shut off when it overwrites the hboot. you have to hold down power and to get it back up and the RUU will continue. and say hello to your coverted MID. I am sure it will be easier once we get our own ENG hboot.

Yeah I get that's it's a risky thing.. maybe big red flashing warning signs, not that most people on here pay attention Flashing the eng hboot is fine (there are posts covering that), just wondering how you changed the MID?

I haven't heard of a booting ENG HBOOT. Just gotta flash ENG, change MID and flash back to stock HBOOT. As you say the phone won't boot normally with the ENG HBOOT as it's technically for the DNA and the NAND is partitioned differently.
There are instructions for flashing the ENG HBOOT from the phone, but I VERY HEAVILY recommend using fastboot from a PC as you're going to need it to flash back to a stock HBOOT anyway before your phone can boot normally. I'd hate to have an ENG HBOOT flashed only then find out my phone isn't playing along with fastboot

that's exactly what I did. but flashing is not straight forward bc since its a DNA hboot. it will refuse to flash other than the way I described it

Ok...so won't even flash as a .img via fastboot? I'm aware the .zip in the DNA thread won't work If dd'ing I presume you have to be booting into system for it to work.

yeah in the system it will work. but after getting it back I have not figured it out without flashing the ruu. I am writing something up now. unless someone knows something I don't. the more input the better I tried just the image file via fastboot and it didn't let me bc its looking for a DNA hboot. but I also had moonshine hboot at the time so I dunno if that had something to do with it

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND LEARN. BUT ITS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WHAT I WROTE AND WHAT OTHERS WROTE HERE ARE A GREAT HELP. TY WHO ADDED MORE OPTIONS TO MY CRAZY METHODS I LEARNED FROM READING OTHER THREADS. AND TRIAL AND ERROR
[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Step 1 - Have a stable PC! and Required Drivers Installed.! (phone must be in usb debugging mode for the time being)
Step 2- Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download ( if you Dont have it Already)
Step 3- Download Hboot From DNA forums. once downloaded rename from Hboot.nbo to hboot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155214
Step 4 - place file on your sd card.
Step 5- boot into android. once booted. (via SDK) the one you downloaded run this command adb shell. then type su. sometimes su will work sometimes not. then type cd sd card. once your there run this command
dd if=/sdcard/HBOOT.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
(reboot into fastboot. you should now have ENG-hboot)
once in fastboot you will use "fastboot oem writemid" and choose what mid you want for what phone model and region check out mikes guide to show you which MID goes with what region
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
so if you want WWE europe it would be PN0710000 etc. and a CID of HTC__001
this part is optional
you can totally wipe the phone via fastboot using. these commands.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase radio
you can skip this part if you want too.
once you changed your CID and MID go ahead and put your phone into RUU mode by typing fastboot oem rebootRUU
at this point your phone might shut off dont panic hold power and volume down. you will now be in RUU mode. now run the RUU. its going to send then flash hboot. it will reboot and might shut off. dont panic! hold power and down volume until in turns back on the RUU will continue. let the phone flash the rest of the way. and you will now have your converted AT&T phone
OTA's will also work and will not require a locked bootloader
THERE MIGHT BE AN EASIER WAY TO GET BACK TO STOCK HBOOT. I DIDNT PLAY AROUND ENOUGH. SO INPUT WOULD BE GOOD. ALSO YOU CAN JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A OFFICIAL ENG-HBOOT FOR US.
FOR A MORE SIMPLE METHOD USE cschmitt BELOW. THEN USE THE REST OF THIS GUIDE. BUT YOU CAN ONLY USE THE FASTBOOT ERASE COMMANDS WITH A ENG-HBOOT

Here's how to flash the eng hboot and restore the original following MID change. Trick is the fastboot flash hboot won't allow writing the eng hboot (which is why you use dd), but it will write the original hboot back (versions, signatures, or something.)
FYI, to anyone reading this, if you don't understand what's going on here don't try this. I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone as the result of trying this. Requires S-OFF.
Code:
# push eng hboot to phone
adb root
adb push enghboot.img /sdcard/enghboot.img
# backup original hboot to pc
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p12.bin
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p12.bin mmcblk0p12.bin
# stop and verify mmcblk0p12.bin in on your pc!!!!!
# write eng hboot and reboot into it
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/enghboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
adb reboot bootloader
# after bootloader loads, writemid etc.
fastboot oem writemid ????????
# restore orignal hboot
fastboot flash hboot mmcblk0p12.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
# might have to hold down power for 20 seconds, reboot might take a bit
Edit: just saw your instructions above

thanks this will help too!! :good: this might even be a good way for people who just want to change MID without touching anything else. so both guides are great ty!
Very good info here. Suggestion to OP: Daddioj edit your thread title to something more useful so more people can learn.

You can flash hboot via hboot (lol) just put the hboot.img in a zip that has the correct android txt in it.. for example the modified hboot zip in dev that removes the red warning ... Replace the .img in there with the eng one and rebootruu and flash the zip... Do it twice don't reboot if it fails.
I messed with the eng hboot from the DNA and that is how I went back and forth between hboots ... The ruu is needed to reset the right emmc sdcard location. Which ruu you use is not specific asking as you have the correct cid

that's another option. thanks for the input :good:
Just out of curiosity, what is the point of changing the MID, when you already have the CID changed to SuperCID, and will allow you to flash any RUU? Are you saying that OTAs dont work on only CID changed phones.
Wanna convert to Dev Edition or EU Unlocked/Unbranded/GPE? There's a million question's and problem's constantly being posted about these conversion's. I have made this whole process as easy and painless as possible.As I have already done 90% of the work for you.Anyone should very easily be able to achieve full conversion and receive future ota's as well as return full stock.These are 100% clean stock's NO ROOT.Will boot directly to setup screen.These are done using TWRP backup to ensure complete and easy conversion.

Fastboot commands for Hboot,CID,MID change Im expecting you to already know how to access adb and fastboot on your PC so commands are listed as i use them.
cd/android <--------- access to my adb fastboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Hboot.zip
fastboot oem writecid <---- not really needed stay with CID 11111111
fastboot oem writemid <--- Needed to OTA
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot.
Thanks for the thorough writeup, but this all is not needed....Simpler way is much safer and easier..could add these to your writeup....
Download/flash the appropriate hboot for your device, I used 2.24.408.8
http://rumrunner.us/hboots/
run commands as needed for changing cid/mid
fastboot oem writecid
fastboot oem writemid
I did this one 2 chinese versions without issue. I dont wish to see folks bricking their devices as the original way is a bit over whelming for some...this makes it even more painless and safer...
NO need for messing with engineer hboot
