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

i already have it but it does recognize our device if it is on i tried this procedure but of no luck so im back to the nbh method..
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

no idea about the fastboot drivers i just diconnected usb and now cmd says that status read failed <too many links>>
so you dont know if you have fastboot setup on your pc...?
yeah i think so but i use android commander and everything via usb..
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?
im currently couldnt connect with the sd card, im not rooted, so i have no other way to gain access to sd card, i tried ruu, it showed error, something about utility version, so as the title, is it possible?if so, please give me instruction, please,
thank you so much
use recovery to access the sdcard.

or if you have the ROM.zip extracted from ruu, u can flash it from fastboot using fastboot flash zip rom.zip
where rom.zip will in ur pc
without root that wont be possible! only can try with a stock rom.zip extracted from official ruu.
I also have the same problem. My phone is not root. But i unlock my bootloader. I can't see my SD card. Becuase i flash rom that have different hboot.
My hboot version is 1.25.0.0 but that rom is 1.28.0.0.
I try to flash the system image by fastboot but it show error that file image is too big.
I would like to know how to create the system image to flash by fastboot. how big capacity that i can flash by fastboot.
Now i can use phone only for calling.
If anyone have any system image file that support hboot 1.25.0.0. Please let me know where i can download.
Thanks in advance.

on 1.25 recovery working with usb mounting than you can simply install custom rom without messing up.
Just install appropriate recovery.

I don't know how to do usd mounting.
I can't put customer ROM in SD card because my mobile don't see it.
For usb mouting. you mean i can flash it from PC by USD mouting, right?
Would you please give more detail how to do it?
boot in to recovery:
connect phone to pc
- mount and storage
- mount USB.
On PC you can now add your rom.zip to flash it.
If mounting don't work its mean you have hboot 1.28 and you need to flash this recovery.

hello guys, i have a problem with my tecno n5s, i cannot install any app since it says sytem storage is full, i have factory resetted it but says storage full, , i dowbloaded its stock rom but i havent been able to flash the rom to the phone, i recently tried miflash tool but ended up with this error; the system cannot find the file specified.(0x80070002: execute flash_all.bat) kindly provide possible quick solution
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.

There's not a lot about for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680107
be careful which radio's your trying to flash, successfully flash the wrong one and you'll have a brick.
