How to use the RUU leaks we have after OTA

Some say it isn't possible, because of the radio version.
Thats not it at all. HBOOT was updated, and as such, keeps the RUU from working.
However:
Anything is possible with Android.
http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
This method will allow you to remove the OTA by using RUU leaks we already have. I did it myself last night after messing up my phone trying to flash an old radio through clockwork
Read: Its not a radio issue that would keep you from updating, its an HBOOT version issue.

720p OTA Leak:
CID:VZW__001
ROM:1.36.605.0

You need to use the older OS version if you want to revert to an older RUU, I believe. Not sure the CID matters either. The img file I provided that worked, I used HTC_002.

Sweet, didnt know if it did or not.

I am taking a bit of leap of faith here, but I think it all gets overwritten by the RUU anyway.

Any one else confirm this working?

I can't download the flash image from the link.

Yes this works 100%... I used the zip method mentioned over at androidforums.
Thanks adrynalyne for putting everything together and making the process way easy!!!

When I've reverted to stock I have a PB31IMG that I use. Sorry for a dumb question but... is this what you mean by using an RUU?
Because the link above makes it seem as if it's on the pc not the sdcard. Maybe I'm missing somthing.

Same thing, just different methods

How do I check which radio I have on my phone. I can't seem to locate that info.

Radio is also known as Baseband under the software info.

How to flash radio image on N1

Hi kings
Is there any procedure somewhere on how update the radio firmware on nexus one?
I can the .img radio image with cyanogenmod but cant find how to install it.
ROM CM6 RC3
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Well first we need to know what radio you are currently using. Go to Settings -> About Phone and look under Baseband. You are looking for the first three numbers after the underscore in the middle. Post your version.

Thanks for your reply. The baseband version says 32.19.00

That doesn't look right. Can you post the whole baseband version?

Oups my mistake.it is 4.02.02

With the .IMG file you can flash through fastboot or you can download the signed update file and flash custom recovery. Recovery is easier for people that arent that great in fastboot.
http://www.mediafire.com/?yzv4jlkyfng
This is the newest radio version already in a .zip file. just throw it in the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery and select flash zip file and select the file.

this is the other froyo radio. same process as the other.

I never use recovery to flash a radio, always fastboot. I would advise against it, but to each his own. This is correct instructions, you beat me to it

I didnt use recovery to flash radio also, but I have an N1 with locked bootloader and fast boot doesnt work with locked bootloaders. Kinda sucks having to use flash_image each time. But The 2 files that i posted up, ive personally used and flashed radio recovery and havent had any problems with it.

Thanks guys. I see 2 versions, 4.x and 5.x which one should i go for

It depends on you. some say 4.x is better some say 5.x is better. Everyone has their own opinion for radio, roms, etc.

Mmnn last question, would it matter if i install 5.x and roll back to 4.x if needed? I guess not but justto be sure

Nope. Just be careful and not let the phone die during a radio flash process. it can brick your phone.

Radios are the one thing you have to be extremely careful when flashing. Interrupting the radio flash is basically the only proven way to brick a phone.
Make sure you have ample battery charge, have your phone plugged in, and DON'T mess with the phone while it works it's magic. I can't stress this enough.

Wouhouuu i have the 5.x now im thankful guyss!

You can flash the radio using fastboot anyway, because radio isn't a custom build and is signed with authentic keys, allowing it to be flashed with the regular locked bootloader.

[Q] Upsdate OTA to 2.3.3 without bricking?

Hi,
First of all I apologize for the extremely noob question, but I just want to be certain I wont brick my phone, so I rather ask...
I have a Nexus 1 with 2.2.2 rooted (it came just like this when I bought it, so I have no idea how it was done). The thing is I got a notification about OTA update to 2.3.3, and I wanted to update.
My question here is, how do I determine that it wont brick my phone?
(As far as I can tell its googles stock firmware with stock recovery atm)

Apply the update. If it fails, you will need to look into other means of upgrading. If it passes, you win. If it fails, and won't boot afterwards, you may need to wipe, but all should be normal afterwards.

Thanks
While we're at it, how do I 'wipe' exacly?

By installing a custom recovery, either ClockWorkMod (through ROM Manager from the market) or Amon_Ra, which is my preferred choice, but you have to flash it using adb.

Thanks guys, I've been reeding a bit more and finally figured it out.
One last question though, I see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396 that Gingerbread requires Hboot 0.35.0017 and Radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
I already have hboot-0.35.0017 but I have RADIO-4.06.00.12_7.
If I upgrade using OTA do I have to flash Radio first? Also can I use this newer radio with FRG83G?
Im sorry, Im still a bit lost on the radio stuff...

If you use the official ota it will update the radio.

[RADIO] NS4G Radio image

For those of you that flashed a bad radio to your NS4G, there is a fix!
Many thanks go out to Netarchy for relentlessly trying to fix my radio, and Shabbypenguin for supply Netarchy with his phone images both of them did a lot of work just to get my phone operational again Thank you very much!
Attached is the signed zip for you to flash in recovery. now listen very carefully before you complain that this didn't work for you. It did not work for me either, but it just may work for some people to flash in recovery, that is why i'm supplying a signed zip for you. What I had to do to get this to work is to unzip the file. inside there is a file called "radio.pr.img" boot into your bootloader and use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.pr.img
that worked for me and hopefully it will work for anyone else that flashes a bad image.
Once again thank you to Shabbypenguin and Netarchy, and anyone else that may have helped out.

Is this the stock radio that comes with it?

So can we use this with the SuperAsop rom?

Does anyone know if fastboot oem listpartitions work with this phone? Not at my pc right now. I was wondering which partitions were which. I dumped every image, 7, and i have one that is 13.5mb which i think is the radio that this phone came with. Also i wanna find out which is wimax
Uncle Jimmy says hello

So I installed SuperASOP 8.0 and then tried flashing the zip in recovery and pushing the img file via ADB and still have no radio. So it looks like no we can't use SuperASOP yet.

no superaosp doesnt have the cdma/wimax stuff, it was added to teh aosp source yesterday

just fair warning you shouldnt post in anothers thread and then go make a thread about it, anyways there is the stock files on the dev forum for the ns4g download that and install it. then run the program it installed, it will get you back to 100% stock

[GUIDE] How To Fix GPS Issues On CM7

Sup People.
I recently noticed that my GPS wasnt working on CM 7.1.0.1. After searching this forum I found that quite a few people were also having the same issues so i've decided to compile this guide (all credits to OP's, i'm just putting this info in one place)...
theres not much to it to be honest, its just the information on the issue is just scattered around - plus there are probably better and more complete guides out there
Firstly, Originally Posted by bharat_xda19

First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.

I used the 3xeno and nejc121 method's above. Downgraded my CWM (which is only temporary if selecting through ROM manager) then flashed the 20.10 radio. 3xeno recomends flashing the 19.25 radio first to see if that works but i went straight for the 20.10 = WORKING GPS

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO GO AHEAD WITH THESE MODS SO ONLY YOU CAN BE BLAMED FOR YOUR ACTIONS
p.s. if followed correctly, you shouldn't go wrong

In simple terms.
1.gain temp 2.5.0.7 cwm via Rom manager or temp update zip if your on a newer version already.
2. Flash 19.25 or/and 20.10 radio.
3. Reboot.
I have NEVER wiped anything to flash a radio as it has no influence over caches whatsoever.!!!!
Whenever I had gps issues I just flashed the 19.25 radio then test gps. Then re flash 20.10 radio. Never failed me yet. Lol.

Try using an app that triggers gps like gps test from the market. It worked 99% of the cases for me.
