Hello,
I have a problem with my G1.
I got my G1 maybe a month ago. It had firmware 1.1 and radio module 1.22.12.29. Back then I did not realize it was a radio image compatible with firmware 1.0 as far as I gather from the HTC website.
At first, I did not intend to root it at all, a decision later I would regret. Well, it worked OK, only it was not updated. I was told I would receive the update over-the-air in 4 days. At first they said it would be to 1.5, but it turned out my operator started to upgrade straight to 1.6.
And so I did receive it in 4 days and the problems began.
Basically, the voice quality is so bad that half of what I say is ununderstandable. My voice sounds metalic and I cannot have a coherent conversation over the phone. It is a business phone, so you can imagine it is rather annoying when I have to struggle to be understood by clients.
Ok, so I checked the bootloader for the radio image version and I found out it was still version 1.22.12.29. As per the HTC website I should have 2.22.19.26I. So, obviously the radio firmware was not updated as it should be as per the HTC website. Thus, it seems the reason voice quality is so poor is the outdated radio firmware.
Since I did not plan to return my new phone to my operator (I had no time for it), I decided to root the phone and update the radio firmware myself. It seemed simple enough and I use Unix and Linux since 15 years, so it seemed it would pose no problem.
Quickly I learned that rooting 1.6 is not so simple. One-click method fails. Only goldcard worked and after a few days of struggle I finally got back to firmware RC7 and rooted the device.
Right after I updated the recovery image to CM 1.4, but before I flashed the CM ROM I attempted to update the radio firmware as was suggested by one tutorial I followed as well as the CM website.
Well, it all went smooth. After the update I pressed Home and Back, it rebooted, back to recovery CM1.4, one more time Home and Back and I was back to the working phone. I checked the radio firmware and lo and behold, it was still version 1.22.12.29. No errors, nothing, smooth update process and no result. I repeated it at least 5 times to no avail.
I decided to install CM 4.2.7.1 ROM and try to update the radio then. Before the CM ROM I updated the SPL to HardSPL with success to have fastboot and went to install CM. It went smooth and I booted into this new rooted G1 ROM with ease.
Again, I attempted to update the radio firmware from recovery CM1.4 and again no results.
So, I am back to square one. I have again firmware 1.6 only from CM instead of stock HTC, and I cannot use this phone for calling.
So, summarizing, I got the phone with firmware 1.1, but radio firmware from 1.0. Why it was not updated together with the system I do not know. Then I got an update to 1.6 and the radio firmware also did not upgrade. Then I went back to RC7 (firmware 1.0), rooted the phone, attempted the radio firmware update before installing CM ROM and failed. And finally, I installed HardSPL + HTC 1.6 recovery (as suggested on the CM website) + CM ROM and again failed to update the radio firmware to 2.22.19.26I. The update process is going without any errors. Verification, extracting, installation of radio image all go OK, the phone reboots but no radio updated.
Anybody any idea why it is like this? Why this phone refuses to update the radio from HTC website.
Any suggestions?
Oliwer
PS. One more thing, I was contemplating updating the radio via fastboot, but it seems after reading HTC website that fastboot is only for system and recovery image flashing. The radio has to go first adn from recovery console. Am I right on this?
I too have a problem updating to the 26i version. however i rooted at 1.5 using the one click root method and ive since switched from cyan 1.4 recovery and cyan roms to amon recovery and dwang roms. No matter which recovery i use, the 26 update flashes without an error but shows up as the same radio ive had all along (1.22.14.11) i made a thread about it but noone seems to have an answer. Sorry I couldnt help, but at least bumped up your thread and maybe someone can help us.

Thanks for sharing!
At least I know I am not alone here with this problem.
Since it's Christmas and I have some more time, I decided to do a Nandroid backup and wipe my phone back to the original rom with 1.0 firmware (RC7).
I used my goldcard and I flashed it in a few minutes. I logged back into 1.0 firmware with the original bootloader and recovery console.
Next I put everything on my goldcard, flashed the recovery CM1.4 from the terminal, went to the bootloader, flashed update.zip with the newest radio 2.x from HTC, everything went smooth. Reboot and again NO change of the firmware. Tried a few more times flash the radio and HardSPL together to no avail. I restored my backup and found myself back to square one.
One think I noticed, and I wonder if you get the same, is that when I flash the radio, the phone reboots back to the recovery console and shows "Formating Cache..." message. It does not tell me anything like Please reboot, just this message. Meanwhile I can move the cursor up and down the recovery menu, so the phone has not hang up. It just sits at the recovery until I reboot it. Once I waited 30 minutes to see if it reboots itself and it does not. So, I press Home+Back and then it reboots fully and after loging in I check the radio and NO change.
So, I wonder if your phone does the same?
Oliwer
PS.
T-Mobile G1 - w/ ROOT
DREA110 PVT 32B
HardSPL 10.95.3000
Recovery image: HTC Android 1.6 (from HTC website)
Class IV 8GB SD Card w/ Ext 4 Partition and Swap partition
That's a huge wall of text, and it's Christmas so I'm a little merry
When flashing the radio image w/ Cy's recovery you must flash as an update.zip using alt-s, press whatever key you need to press to confirm and reboot using home+back. If you use flash any zip or use the trackball to reboot the radio image (or SPL) will not reboot in the required way to complete installation.

I tried all possible ways. Just a few minutes ago I went to CM1.4 recovery, used the update from update.zip, pressed Home+Back, rebooted back to recovery console, pressed Home+Back again, booted to CM4.2.10, punched the PIN code, checked the About Phone section and I am still with 1.22.x radio firmware.
This phone simply refuses to update the firmware in any known way.
So, my plan now is to un-root it back to the state I got it 2 months ago and return it to the operator and request upgrade of radio, since Donut with an old radio is basically useless. People simply do not understand half of what I say even if I speak slowly and quietly.
Cheers,
Oliwer
You have to press
Cam+power and it will show radio
....
In settings that radio has nothing to do with one installed...Do you know that the radio does?
It allows custom roms like cyan to be installed while keeping root access. The rom allows some tmo apps like account to still be used here in the states.
yes oliwer i get the same formatting cache message but nothing else happens. i tried in cyans recovery and amons recovery using only button shortcuts and not the trackball. i always named the radio update.zip, but still no luck. Im not sure if the 26i radio requires a certain version before it can upgrade, like maybe i have to upgrade to another radio before i can get to 26i? im not quite sure...ive run out of ideas on what to do. I dont have a warranty or anything on my g1. does the fact im using a donut rom on a cupcake radio have anything to do with it? if i had a cupcake rom and upgraded the radio to 26i from there would it work? i know these might sound like dumb ideas but im still relatively new to the scene and im running out of ideas as to why this is happening or why i cant solve it..
bump? anyone have a solution for us? or advice?
i just realized that i had android 1.1 with the 1.22.14.11 radio when i first got my phone, when t-mobile gave me the 1.5 update, i was still stuck on the same radio for some reason. After that I used the one click method to root and ive been on dwang donut rom ever since with the same dated radio...Ive tried using cyans recovery to flash and still no luck, no error, it says its updated but when i check the baseband or stock spl its still the same radio. I never went for a danger spl when i rooted because i was afraid to brick so i cant fastboot a radio update. I asked in another topic if it was possible to use the "flash_image" command in terminal to flash the radio but i dnt think itll work and i dont wanna risk it. If anyone has any advice or a possible solution please keep us updated.
Thank you!
Turn your phone off, hold the camera button down, and power on your phone.
What do you see?
each time before and after the flashing of the radio using cyans or amons recovery image id get the same rainbow screen saying
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.14.11
Serial0
so im still stuck on the Android 1.1 radio.

I do not know, really, why the radio refuses to upgrade. Since my last message I have read tons of posts on this issue and nearly ALL people can upgrade the radio firmware easily, just like the SPL. Somehow, I can upgrade the SPL to whatever I want, but not the radio. Very strange indeed and no luck so far.

Exactly the same in my case. Except they upgraded straight to 1.6. Before the upgrade I have 1.1 firmaware and quality of voice was perfect. After the upgrade things went south.

Well, I installed HardSPL and it worked despite the old radio. HardSPL offers FASTBOOT and I use it at times. This is safe, at least for me.

Well, I did, but it does not work since flash_image updates partitions and G1 does not have radio partition. So, when you try to update the radio.img it tells you no radio partition. It is only possible for Roger G1 since it has radio partition unlike all other G1s and there you could upgrade the radio with flash_image.

Yeap! I just practised how to un-root the phone straight to 1.6 with the original SPL and recovery and I was able to restore my phone to the state before rooting and I plan to give it back to my operator under warranty and ask to get this radio fixed. I will do it next week. I will report if the authorized service will be able to upgrade the radio.

Went to the new radio sent out by Flipz. Flipz you are great and all but the radio is not working out for me. I want to degrade back to the original. Suggestions.
You JUST made a topic about this.

I know I did. I tried to erase and make a my point a little bit more understandable. My bad.
yea give it a day or so to familiarize itself with your system and towers etc. i dont see how all these people are getting terrible results from it....and its not that hard to go back just ruu
You see I have tried to use the RUU wizard set up thru fresh. When I tried it I got an error.
there was a post a few days ago with the old radios in an update.zip format that you could flash from recovery, have you tried using that to downgrade yet?

People told me to flash the original radio in the same manner as the updated radio in nandroid. It did not work. Then they told me to RUU, that bricked or now semi-bricked my phone. I just think you should be prepared before you do anything. Running the RUU apparently does not work as well as some people think it does.

So I am gonna take it from you man. I am pretty sure someone out there over the rainbow will make one to degrade the radio. i will settle with the radio for now, since I have no choice, well I already tried to use the RUU wizard, good thing I made a nandroid backup.
raadio flash is different than a regular flash nandroid wont get ya back to an older one

The problem is you are trying to use nandroid to flash an update.zip.
The radio will come as an update.zip format. Flash it like you would a new rom through recovery.
Nandroid does nothing for radio flashing. You can literally fry the phone's motherboard by flashing the wrong radio, I would know seeing as I did it to my first phone. lol

Maybe I shouldnt really do anything with the radio and just live it out with 2.1. I kinda of scared to fry or brick anything.

how did making a nandroid recovery save you from bricking your phone??
okay so on the thread with the radios that Avalaunchmods posted, there was an error in the way he had his stock radio.img flash onto the phone. i'm attaching a signed stock radio that should flash correctly.
it SHOULD work. i don't see why it wouldn't work, because it is a CDMA radio and what it would do is just rewrite the old radio over the new radio. so i don't see a problem with this bricking any phones. but i don't take any liability if something goes wrong.
Just verify that you have the correct radio, and make sure it is coming from the CDMA Hero section and not the GSM section.
The real danger comes from flashing a GSM radio onto a CDMA hero. If you do this you will watch your phone kill itself.
I believe the radio was posted, though you could get it out of the RUU I think? Then you'd just need to request someone sign the zip and use it as an update.zip from recovery.
i took that radio.img from Avalaunchmod's thread. the radio that he got that out of was from the RUU, so yes, this is definitely a CDMA radio and its from the RUU.

Lol you posted before I finished my post.
Hi,
Already posted part of the situation in Amon_RA's recovery thread but neither of the answers there seem to solve my problems. Decided to post it here since the problem seems to involve aspects other than the recovery itself.
Here's the complete situation:
Had problems with RA recovery freezes since the start and with different versions. I could (and can) enter recovery mode (v1.6.2), scroll down the options but after 15 seconds the recovery just freezes and reboots every single time. Checked the version (H) and the MD5, they where all correct. Tried cm-recovery-1.4-32A and it seems to work fine but when I flash a ROM (1.6) I have similar problems with the ROM (freeze+reboot in "touch droid setup"). Curiously I flashed my hero 2.0.5 (1.5) and had no problems...
Tried booting the latest RA recovery trough fast-boot and it worked fine the first two times I did it (scrolled down the options for like 10 minutes and it didn't freeze). After that it did not work and got the freezes+rebooting problem back again. Tried ADB, Flash-rec and flashed the recovery but got the freeze+reboot problem once again. Re-checked the version and MD5 and they where all correct.
Why does this happen? Any clues?
Thanks for your help!
I'm kind of lost here...Could it be a radio or SPL problem? Should I re-flash/update it? I never had problems with the stock ROM so this situation is really odd...
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
strange... try some random methods here lol (I don't know if they'll work though but it can't hurt)
First, try flashing an ENG SPL, see if that makes a diff
If that fails, try flashing a whole new ROM/RADIO/SPL
for example: Since you're a 32A user, I believe you can flash the 6.35.x radio and the 1.76.2007 SPL and then use the hero recovery. Test out a rom on the new radio for like a day and try out the recovery. See if that freezes! (This doesn't really accomplish much though because even if it doesn't freeze, i think you'll wanna go back to the old radio to try out other roms lol. You risk bricking your phone if you don't understand this stuff so don't do it if that's the case)
But anyways, I'm a bit confused. What rom are u using?

So you can use the recovery fine, until you flash a rom? So when you flash a rom, your recovery beings to freeze. But when you flash a different rom, your recovery works fine? Weird. Sounds like a problem when you're flashing a rom...
I have no idea dude but what I would do if I was in your situation:
1) Flash ENG SPL, something like 1.33.0010 (double check everything, i dont like advising people to play with their spl/radio so dont just take my word)
2) load up recovery and give it a try! if all that fails...
3) I'd backup your phone via nandroid in recovery (i pray that it doesn't freeze lol)
4) Wipe wipe wipe
5) Go into fastboot, fastboot erase system -w and then try another rom! And if the rom is good, then go back to your old one. Try to find out what the prob is.
It appears that you're able to flash roms still even with your recovery freezing (so weird) so I dunno. Just give it a try I guess lol
very weird indeed.... question.. does this do this when plugged in as well as on battery? ive heard of some really weird issues with bad batteries....
i would try what kawata recommended as well.. kind of just a process of elimination...
hopefully you dont have a hardware issue..

Now I'm using stock 1.5. I tried cyanogen, superD and other 1.6 Roms and they all freezed at the android setup process. Used myhero for a week with no problems whatsoever. Since I have a nandroid backup done with CM's recovery I restore everything back as it was.

The Amon_Ra recovery freezes every time. It doesn't give me enough time to do anything...Now I'm using CM's recovery and I have no freezing problems while in recovery mode. The problem is after I flash a Rom and reboot. The ROM experiences freezing problems (just like the Amon_Ra's recovery).
Thank you for your answer and suggestions!

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I have never tried with the phone plugged into a socket but did it with the phone running on battery and connected via usb to the computer. Should it make a difference?
Could it be a hardware problem? I never had problems with the stock ROM or with the myhero ROM...
it could be hardware...
if you want to flash to new radio and spl please follow this guide to the T or else you will get a brick, you cannot flash radio and spl via recovery.
so...
follow this guide and all will be good... must have adb ....

Checked that guide but I'm unsure about this part:
If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.

This part I can do within the recovery to enable flashing via fast-boot right?
yup you can flash the eng spl via recovery ... i should have been more specific and said you cant flash new radio and spl via recovery
for the new radio,spl and recovery you do through fastboot
good luck

Hi again,
Still didn't mess with SPL and Radio. I'm still afraid I'll brick the phone..However yesterday tried a few simple things like using another sd card or entering recovery while plugged in. These two things seem to influence the behavior of the latest Amon_RA recovery but don't solve my problem completely. Example: When I enter recovery using the original SD card (2gb) the recovery would freeze within 20 secs max. Using another SD card (128mb) most of the times it would take longer to freeze (4 or 5 minutes). Sometimes it would not freeze at all. Although this seemed to influence what happened it wasn't constant and could not find a pattern. The same with the phone plugged into computer. Sometimes it helped. One thing is certain: with the original SD card and unplugged from the computer the recovery freezes within 20 secs every single time.
With the CM 1.4 recovery never had any freeze problems. It seems to work great while in recovery mode. The problem is after a flash a ROM I have freeze problems with the ROM itself (tried different ROM's, CM, SuperD, etc and got the same freeze problem). The only Rom that worked fine was myhero 2.0.5.
This is a very strange situation and I'm starting to think that this could be hardware..
Would that be a SD card problem?
try using another SD card and see if the problem still occurs
I am having exactly the same problem, did you ever find a solution?
Went from a fully updated magic 32A (1.76.0009H) now i'm at 1.76.0008
UPDATE: I just found that the hero recovery works (I would post link but xda doesn't allow new users to do that) however it may still be necessary to downgrade radio and spl
I had also same problem. My device is Magic 32A radio 6.35. Solution was to reflash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img.
ok this is happening with every version of android i try when i boot it goes in to sleep of death like with in 2-3 min of having the screen locked. I can be playing music doing what ever in the back round and then when i try to unlock it its in the sod. some times it works some times it does not idk whats going on its like roulette when trying to get android to run stably. But if i do hit the buttons right and the stars align and it does stay stable it will run for 2-3 days no problems. PLZ HALP
Sounds like you may have the wrong radio flashed.
I'd flash 2.12.5 or 2.15.5 and see how it does.

Thank you sir
What block size does your SD have?
yeah first time flashing radio is some scary ****. Here you go.
1) Download customRUU from HERE
2) Here is the 2.12.50 radio, works on EU or US HD2
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9GU2FF3X
3) Here is the 2.15.50 radio, works on EU or US HD2
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
All you need to do is extract the customRUU and have the radio NBH file in the same folder as the customRUU, connect phone via activesync and run the RUU, follow the directions and flash like you'd flash a ROM.
either should work fine, you may notice slight differences in speed/battery.
the 2.12.50 seems to work better on Desire HD builds, the 2.15.50 seems to work better on all other Android builds (for me at least)
edit: Before switching to these later radios, I had BSOD a couple times a day. Since flashing any of the radios AFTER 2.10.5, I have never had a BSOD.

Thank you so much for all this info i will get on this when i get home tonight. thanks for the tidbit about what one works better on the HD builds because i am currently using that
These radios should only be flashed on m9s running GSM firmware. Do not try flashing them on CDMA firmware you have the possibility of bricking your device. (They should not successfully flash but hey weirder things have happened)
*****UPDATE 29.FEB.2016****
THE CORRECT SCRIPT IS NOW IMPLEMENTED AND ALL ZIPS WILL BE CHANGED TO USE THIS SCRIPT WHICH DOES WORK! I APOLOGIZE IT TOOK SO LONG I WAS EMERGENCY DEPLOYED SHORTLY AFTER POSTING THIS AND HAVE BEEN GONE.
Thank you
Hey guys just like I did for the M8 (refer to thread here). I am the releasing the first recovery flashable zip to write a new radio to your M9.
*****IMPORTANT*****
YOU MUST BE S-OFF and SuperCID (CID:11111111)
THIS THREAD WILL CONTAIN ALL RADIOS FOR ALL FIRMWARE AS I GET TO THEM. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO ASK FOR ANY TO BE UPLOADED.
AS I HAVE TIME I WILL UPDATE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
How to SuperCID:
1. you must be S-off, please do so or this wont work, also have adb, fastboot, and htc drivers installed on computer.
2. boot into fastboot "download" mode by powering off device then hold VOL Down and power then release power once you see the htc BUT KEEP holding volume down. you will be in bootloader, use volume buttons to choose the option reboot to download then press power.
3. connect device to computer, open up command prompt, goto the path where adb and fastboot are and type this:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
then push enter.
4. it should say success.
5. now type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. congrats! you are now supercid! now flash my radio zip in recovery.
the following zips can be flashed in recovery.
So far only one person has reported that the new script doesn't work however I he physically seen four different M9s flash these radios including mine and they have all changed their base bands upon flashing these radios.
Now on to the goodies:
Recovery Flashable radio zips

couple of things. I RUU'ed my phone back to stock yesterday waiting on the OTA update and I never tested the files posted above (I'm sure their fine, just not tested)
And the AT&T .31 and the Developer Edition .30 Radio are in fact the Same radio (according to the RUU naming)
Again thanks aestivalisakito for getting the ball rolling on these.
Note: I have the AT&T 1.32.502.9_radio also if anyone would like to try it

I tried them before posting them they work. Also I'll try your att radio and with your permission posted up, thanks for adding to the Rolling of the ball and dealing with my spaz attack earlier.
Also added a link to your dev conversion thread in the op.
Have you yourself tried to flash the radio via custom recovery for M9 and verify changes in the settings? I did it for myself a week ago ... This method worked for M7, but doesn't work on M9 for me! I was able to flash only through fastboot oem rebootRUU (android-info.txt and radio.img files in zip arhive).
Yes I did confirm the changes, however you are correct it appears in settings as if the version number didn't change between the T-Mobile radios however when I reboot to boot loader the version has changed there. When I flashed the dev radio the version changed in settings. It appears to be an oversight by HTC or T-Mobile for that firmware update
Hi. I've tried flashing the At&t radio by way of TWRP and it tells me that the zip is corrupt. The CID I have is 11111111. Did I do something wrong?

Is OK to flash a t-mobile radio after flashing the international 1.40 firmware? I am not getting as strong of signal after flashing firmware.

Same question here. I have the MaximusHD ROM and am wondering whether this will improve the radio on my t-mobile m9 or not.

yes it should work just fine... if you have a problem just flash the 1.40 firmware again
Could you please repost the dev edition radio?

I have a T-Mobile US variant, am S-Off and SuperCID, and have flashed the latest 401.8 firmware. I'm trying to flash back to a previous T-Mobile radio, but when checking in Download Mode, the flash doesn't seem to take. The recovery seems to indicate everything went ok, but after a couple of tries, no luck. Can anyone else confirm?
Great. Which of these is the dev edition radio? Is it M9_1.40.401.5.radio.zip?

If you haven't tried it already, I've had success extracting the radio image from the zip and flashing it in fastboot. It has to be flashed it in bootloader mode. Hope that helps!

Pardon my ignorance but what would be the procedure to get this done? Would it be almost the same as flashing the firmware via fastboot through download mode?
