hey guys, I'm using a G1 (HTC Dream). It runs on Cyangoenmod 4.2.15 right now with a radio version that starts with a 1 (I don't know the exact version, the phone is not with me).
I'm trying to flash the 2.22.19.26I radio version by going to "flash zip" option. It goes about half way and tells me that it's having a a verification error. Could it be that I'm doing something wrong?
Try and redownload the radio or use newer radio which is 2.2.23.02 I think
Or do it via fastboot.

is there any harm in updating the radio???? and can we downgrade the radio if somthing goes wrong??
no harm updating radio, and yes if needed to you can go back to the 2.22.26I radio
How can I install it via fastboot? Both .zip files are giving me errors.

For fastboot you have to extract the .img file from the zip.
Okay, then what do I do with the radio image?

First, as a general precaution for the future, make sure the radio you're trying to flash is compatible with the SPL. The wrong radio/SPL combination can brick your phone. Upgrading from a 1.x to a 2.x isn't a problem, I'm just mentioning it for the future. It would also be a good idea to verify the MD5 checksum of the files you download.
Place the extracted radio.img file in the same directory as the fastboot executable, and once you have verified fastboot connectivity the command to flash the radio is:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

So any radio version should be fine at this point right? Either one with 2. right?
Also how can I check the MD5?

As long as we're talking about a t-mobile G1 (or an EBI0 Dream) a 1.x to 2.x radio upgrade should be no problem. Search on Google or Cnet for MD5 utilities, there should be several free ones out there.

Alright, I'm trying to install using fastboot, however, my G1 won't go into it. It goes to the multicolor screen and when I press the back button, it just reloads the multicolor screen. The HBoot is 0.95.0000. I installed the 1.3.2003 SPL but I'm still getting the same thing.

Hboot and SPL are the same thing, so if it's reading 0.95.0000 then 1.3.2003 didn't install and 0.95.0000 doesn't support fastboot. What recovery are you using?
Just remembered something else. Can you connect with ADB after the system is booted? If it works check the stickies at the top of this forum for more specifics, but you should be able to flash from there.

I have the RA-Sapphire-v1.7.06 recovery. Perhaps the SPL not installing is due to the MTD script I applied here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8002144#post8002144)
It has a USB-MS toggle option could that be used?
Also, it does connect on ADB, I checked the stickies, but I couldn't find anything about flashing the radio via adb, are you sure it should work?

Don't know about the MTD script, I use DangerSPL. Good thing you don't since it would brick your phone with the radio you have. One thing that seems strange to me is the RA-Sapphire recovery, that sounds like the Magic/MyTouch recovery not the Dream/G1 version.

No, I'm not sure, but since you can't use fastboot it's the other way to access the phone from the PC. Since you have root you should be able to flash the radio by putting the .img file on the SD card and using the flash_image command through the console or telnet.
I see that in the other thread you are being help by ezterry who is one of the most knowledgeable people around here and can give you way better suggestions than I can. Maybe a tongue lashing for cross posting too.

If you applied MTD then don't flash SPL from there. You need to start over, by erasing exiting recovery and reflashing the recovery again.
I am stuck without recovery i accidently lost it while trying to flash another recovery..now my phone doesnt boot..so is there any other way to flash recovery without rooting again..i tried flashing it via fastboot but im using hboot 1.33.001d so cant flash anything there...as the verification fails..can does anybody have an idea how to skip the signature verification..
As written in this thread you can flash the
orange-xxx.nbh via fastboot, then boot the rom and you have a full engineering SPL installed. From there you can continue as you want, i.e. flashing new recovery, new SPL, new rom, etc.
which firmware will i get after flashing this..and fyi i am using g1 us version..
I just thought of one other thing to try first. Install Android Commander on your PC. I have successfully reflashed Amon RA recovery with the new radio/SPL from there - there's an option to flash a recovery from your hard drive.
http://androidcommander.com
Failing that, you'll need to start with the nbh, then flash radio/spl/recovery using the instructions provided by Ezterry for installing the radio/spl.

It's a frensh one, but you will not boot into it, because you'll boot directly into bootloader/fastboot. It's only needed for the engineering spl.

all you do is flash the orange nbh so than you can wipe recovery and flash new one... than you want to flash your radio(2708/2825) than flash spl pretty simple and very convenient lol was in same situation couple days ago

does the nbh flashing take a long time...
na it doesn't take long at all it really easy.... you are doing the orange nbh right?
do you have fastboot drivers set up? because you need those... lol
can you still boot up your phone? cuz if you can, what you do is go to rom manager and flash the CWM recovery from that

and yes it was about 30 mins i waited nothing happened..
it says verification failed i attached an image of that
ok power off the device and reboot to fastboot mode, rename the orange file you have located in the sdk/tools folder to 'orange.nbh' now get to the fastboot cmd and type 'fastboot flash nbh orange.nbh' tell me what happens after that?
Hi there.
So I wanted to install cyanogenmod on my htc incredible s. So i rooted my phone without big problems. Then I tried to install cyanogenmod through 4ext recovery via zip file. And now all I have is a static white screen. I tried over 10 ruu's that supposed to be installed from pc and phone. I tried another recovery, custom OS, hard reset through recovery and bootloader, goldcard and some other things that I cant even remember. I also tried to lock bootloader, unlock it, reset root etc.
android version before brick was 4.0.4, sense 3.6.
vivo s-on
hboot 2.02.0002
radio 3831.18.00.11_M
Also when i install cm or some other custom OS through 4ext zip install it says OK but when i reload nothing changes.
Help?

With an unlocked bootloader 2.02.0002, you need to extract the boot.img from the CM ROM's zip.file and manually flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode.
You cannot simply flash a custom ROM from 4EXT recovery when you only have an unlocked bootloader. There are plenty of sticky threads in this forum that document the procedure you need to follow. You need to read, study and understand before you try modding your phone.

The ERROR 131 means that you are trying to flash an official RUU for a different carrier/region. You need to create a goldcard in order to successfully flash a RUU.
Why don't you try flashing a custom ROM from recovery and then flash the boot.img file.

OK, after re-reading your posts, here are some additional tips:
When flashing a custom ROM from 4EXT, please make sure you do a full system wipe and then clear both Cache and Dalvik cache before you flash the ROM.
After you flash the ROM, then you need to immediately flash the ROM's boot.img file contained in the zip file using FASTBOOT USB mode.
As for trying to flash 10 different RUU's there ERROR 131 indicates that you have a bad goldcard.

I am using ATT htc one with developer edition OS. And I learned from the forum there was new radio released be att. So I tried to flash it.
However, since I want OTA work, I chose to stay with the stock recovery and therefore I cannot flash it via custom recovery like a lot of threads in here talking about. I searched and only found the procedure from other htc product's forum as below.
1) adb reboot-bootloader
2) fastboot flash radio radio.img
But "fastboot flash radio radio.img" has no response at all.
I got the img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=232556. It was extracted from Radio_4A.16.3250.24_10.38.1150.03.zip.
My current build is 1.29.1540.17, while baseband is still 4A.14.3250.13, which is the original. And Ive already s-offed and unlocked bootloader.
Any help about flashing? Thanks in advance.

Did you try the fastboot flash command in RUU mode? Fastboot oem reboot RUU. This is just a guess on my part, but that's the mode for firmware flashing, so guessing it might work for the radio too.
In order for a radio to be flashed in fastboot it has to be packaged in a zip file that rubootRUU mode understands. It's easier for most people to just flash in recovery

Thanks, gunny. I had an idea that was how it worked, I appreciate the knowledge! Is the OP out of luck then? Is there any way for him to flash a radio if he's on stock recovery?
It's easy enough to flash custom recovery then radio then put stock recovery back on.

Thank you all. Looks like the only choice for me now is stop being lazy and use custom recovery, then flash it back to stock.
In the first place, I thought there was an easy method to use fastboot like other htc products.

So I guess the zip file I got was prepared for recovery use only, right? I have been comparing it with firmware zip file found in RUU flashing thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506&highlight=flash+latest+radio+fastboot). RUU flash's file includes android-info.txt to enable fastboot read the image inside zip file.

Thanks for the finding:good:. I haven't read it before.
I rooted my phone but didn't really like it while having my banking apps on it. So I tried to get back to normal but ended up wiping everything, even the OS, off of my phone. I am trying to get it back to normal. I followed one guide on here which gave me an android 10 ROM but I was unable to update it to the latest version. The link for that guide is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-official-stock-android-10-t4033835. I didn't install the force encrypt or the magisk because I don't wanna root it. I just want it back to how it was before the root. So I am wondering if there is a way that I can get back to normal now. Thanks in advance for any advice.

the most likely issue is your recovery ... take the stock recovery from a fastboot stock rom and flash that with fastboot
also make sure to flash stock rom in both slot A & B then updates will work
go to this website
https://www.getdroidtips.com/xiaomi-mi-a2-stock-firmware/
download a PIE stock rom that is a FASTBOOT version ... download miflash ...follow instructions to flash it using miflash in fastboot mode
then boot & set it up ...it will start offering updates by itself
your problem right now is that you flashed stock rom in only one slot and you have a custom recovery so that is why it can't update
