Flashing radio with fastboot? - Legend Android Development

I can't seem to find any threads about this when it comes to the Legend.
Is it possible to flash the official radio.img from the Froyo RUU, even though I'm not S-OFF? Or is the only way through recovery?

Wrong button with the thanks -_-
Anyhoo, questions should be in general. But flashing the radio through ROM Manager (ClockworkMOD) will do the job

Oops, sorry about wrong forum. Thought I was in general.

What's that mean?
I'm still confused. I have radio.img from the RUU update. Do I just zip it and put it on the card? Or are scripts needed as well? Looking through some of the other radio updates some have scripts and some are just a zipped radio.img.

If your Legend is S-OFF, you could possibly flash the radio using fastboot, otherwise from recovery, yes you'll need a script
Signing the zip won't be necessery though, so keep the same script (and paths) but replace radio.img

Yeah, I was wondering if it's possible to just replace the radio.img file, keeping the script intact.
I ended up flashing one of the radios from another post here, just to be safe. Until I learn a bit more about this.

[RADIO] 20.2803.30.085au_3805.04.03.12_m

Thanks to someone @goapk http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647299-1-1.html
The newest radio, you need to use for 2.3.3 roms!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE
How To:
just put the PG32IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card and boot into fastboot
follow the instructions on the screen
Download
http://www.multiupload.com/JG3D1BODV7
The filename should be PG32IMG.zip
it's in the zip
just forget it at the guide
thanks

does it also work with s-on?
i guess
but i didn't tried it
but u don't need it because if you are having s-on you only can get 2.3.3 by using goldcard method which will flash the radio too
and how about an ota update? the ota does flash the radio either, or does it?
to put it in a nutshell i am going to s-off my phone this afternoon, so i need to know how to flash the newest CustomRom wich actually is the 2.3.3 rom correctly on my incS. so i need to flash this radio first?
doesn't matter what order you flash them in, I did ROM first then radio

thx my prophet
so
s-off -> rom and radio -> finish?! or did i miss something?
(BTW l0st.prophet your rom is already rootet, so if i flashed your rom on my incS i didnt need to flash or install anything else to finish, or do i?)
Best order is:
- S-OFF
- Root via SuperOneClick (psneuter)
- Install RonManager from the market and install clockworkmod
- Boot into recovery and install rom
- Reboot into HBoot and install radio
Iam sorry, but i really cant find the superonclick root by psneuter... Could you be so Kind, to Post the Link. Iam on the go...
Thx a lot!!

[Q] Stock image / rom

Well, I've been trying to use some custom roms and after all I restored the backup I made before, everything fine.
Today I wanted to try to use a custom rom again but it wouldn't work so I decided to wait for the official ICS release for the IncS. And here we get to my problem: When I restore the backup, and manually flash the boot.img (have to do this manually, got S-ON) and I boot my phone it gets to the HTC bootscreen, reboots and automatically gets to the CWM recovery.
Can anyone provide me an original boot.img (I haven't found it yet) or the whole standard android rom? If you have another solution, I would like to hear it!

You can find the latest OTA in the Android Dev section. If you would use the search function ( yeah we really have a "search" function.. ) you would easily find it. If you want your boot.img we do need what for a Rom from which carrier you got.

Actually I DID use the search, but I haven't found any stock roms for the IncS.. I would like a boot.img for T-Mobile carrier (that's what a 'carrier' is right?).

I have just been reviewing your posts and you posted that you applied the OTA and received HBOOT 2.01.0001, correct?
Then the RUU/ROM you need is the 3.11.405.2 version.
You also stated that you were able to unlock HBOOT 2.01.0001 using the HTCDEV.com site, correct? Which custom recovery did you install after that?

That's all correct, I installed the CWM recovery after that, not sure which version, the most recent one if I'm sure. I notice that the RUU/ROMS are .exe, do I flash these the same way as a .zip rom?

No, you run the exe on a PC and follow the directions on the screens. The program will tell you when to connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable.
This will completely wipe your phone and reload the ROM. Your HBOOT screen will probably show RELOCKED and you will need to unlock it again. Please confirm.

You can sync your contacts to your Google/Gmail account or save them to your SD cards. You can use Titanium Backup to backup apps and some settings.
Well this sucks: The ROM Updatestff can't update the Android hpone. Get the right ROM Update program and try again.
Were you sure that this is the right one? ;p

This is the only one that has HBOOT 2.01.0001. You will also need to relock your HBOOT before you run the RUU using the command:
fastboot oem lock

It seems that he's updating now!
He updated it to the original Android, dude, you're amazing! Thanks mennnn! Just forbid myself to ever try a custom rom again and just stick to waiting for official releases

s-off and flashing radios

sorry if this is a newb question, but I have done some searching, and was not able to figure out a clear answer:
For an at&t branded htc one, do we need s-off to be able to flash radio updates when the become available via .zip; flash-able thru recovery?
and if yes, has anybody tried this already without s-off?
Thanks for the insight!

Sorry to reply here. But I cannot reply in development forum.
Could anyone kindly send me a link talking about the procedures to flash the radio? I searched a lot, but they always say flash via recovery, which i have no idea what it is.
BTW, do I have to flash the radio every time when I flash a new rom? Thanks in advance.

you have to download zip version of the radio you want to have....reboot to recovery and easile flash that radio(hit install and point to that radio.zip you just downloaded)

REcovery is an app that you can flash to your phone. IT is use mostly to make system backups, and flash apps roms etc etc. search for twrp recovery, learn how to install it, youll have to unlock bootloader and root phone then install recovery. then flash it with recovery, in the install section. no you dont have to flash radio everytime you flash a rom. radio is one thing rom is another.
Thank you both. I think Ive got some sense now. I would try flash radio via fastboot.

Don't forget to fastboot flash the boot image, and you'll need to download SuperSU and flash the zip after you flash the ROM for it to boot up completely.

You don't need that zip file. Just extract to boot.img from the ROM zip. The zip file is specifically for MultiROM support.

Flashing the 2.xx base ROM requires updating your firmware. You needed an older stock ROM so you could S-OFF and do update it, correct? I thought that was the original issue?

[Q] Do I need s-off to flash a rom? What is the best stock rom that is unbloated?

Hey,
I'm pretty new to the whole phone community thing. So I apologize for the stupid questions
I got root on my Sprint HTC One m8, but not s-off because I didn't pay 25 dollars. Am I able to still flash roms or do I need s-off?
If so, are there any roms that are stock with all of the bloat removed? Or can anyone show me where I can download the stock rom and remove the bloat APKs (I recall doing this once for my last phone)
Thanks..
You do not need S-off to flash a ROM. Having said that, if you are not S-off you cannot permanently write to the /system partition unless you utilize an unsecure boot.img (kernel).
