[GUIDE] How to flash radios on Canadian IS

INTRODUCTION
It seems that a lot of Canadians are having this problem, so I decided to make a guide on how to bypass it. For my guide on flashing RUUs on the Canadian IS, click here.
THE PROBLEM
People with a Canadian Incredible S are continually getting the "Model ID Incorrect" error. This error occurs because the Canadian IS has the model ID PG3212000 while it seems every other IS has the ID PG3213000, which is blocking us from installing it... But luckily there is a way to fix this error.
THE SOLUTION
NOTE: It seems many people are having problems. After reflashing my phone and S-OFF'ing it again I had the same problem. Turns out ENG S-OFF is needed for this! Find out how to install it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070348
To install a PG3213000(Any non-Canadian Incredible S) radio on a PG3212000(a Canadian Incredible S) follow these instructions:
1. go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12870734&postcount=1 and download whichever radio matches your rom...
2. extract the file you just downloaded and open up the file called: "android-info.txt" in WORDPAD...
3. In the text file change the first line saying "modelid: PG3213000" to "modelid: PG3212000" and go File -> Save.
4. Rezip the file and make sure you call it: "PG32IMG.zip". Copy it the root of your SD card.
5. Reboot your phone in bootloader and let it install... DONE!

which one do you find works best with the bell is?

It all depends on what ROM you're using... You always want to use the radio recommended for the ROM... if it's a RUU, the radio is already in it.

I'm on the Virtuous Unity 1.26.0 ROM and oddly enough there isn't a reccomended ROM.
Also is this way any different than extracting the radio image and pushing it through fastboot?

Both have the same results, but this doesn't require andriod sdk, any work in command prompt, or ENG S-OFF... And I would recommend the 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M radio

I was wondering how to do this since I need to update my radio to install CM7. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!

Hey can you use this guide when trying to flash a ruu? It never works when trying to flash a RUU because of Model ID incorrect... I am stuck in bootloader because of that...

I have tried that before and it did not seem to work... All it did was install the HBOOT and radio from the RUU and then it rebooted my phone...So essentially all it did was revert my phone back to S-ON... I will keep playing around with RUUs and will release a guide if/when I figure out how to flash them.

Yea I am stuck in bootloader because I was running Gingerbread and when I try to go back to my stock RUU I can't because it is Froyo and I receive "Main Version is Older" error...

Reflash a Gingerbread radio... Unfortunately it is currently impossible to downgrade your radio from Gingerbread to Froyo... It will put you into a never ending boot up loop.
Wait... Are you saying you successfully flashed a GB RUU? How?

No it doesn't work... It was only when I was S-Off that I installed Android Revolution rom and that upgraded me to gingerbread... Well after that I accidently did a hard reset which removed my S-off and I am now stuck in bootloader with ***Security Warning***. The only way to fix it is by flashing a stock RUU but since this is Bell IncS only Sasktel rom works and I cannot flash that because I get the error "Main Version is Older" error.

Noob here. What's RUU?

I don't know what you can do to fix that, unfortunately... Post a question in the general forum and hope that someone can help you out with more information...
Edit: :O maybe that's why the RUU didn't complete the installation and rebooted my phone! The radio was newer then the version in the Optus RUU?!?! Omg that might have been my problem...
kattara said:

RUU is an acronym for ROM Update Utility... It is an official update for the phone which makes it as though it was new and seem like it was never tampered with(no root, no custom recovery, not custom HBOOT, returns you to S-ON, etc).

I believe this has been posted elsewhere, but if you are unable to flash your radio AND you are already ENG S-OFF the following works perfectly.
Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WIWVHF7O
Make sure HTC Sync is installed
Extract ZIP to a folder and from that folder run the following:
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
3. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
4. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"​
This works on any version of the IS, including the Canadian one. I included the recommended radio, however any radio can be used by replacing the radio.img file.

Yes, I know, but this makes it so that ENG S-OFF is not required as it is a little bit overkill... Plus, I used this as my basis in an attempt to installing RUUs on the Canadian version of the IS, since I was told it is not possible unless I XTC clip it... I proved those people wrong.

It doesn't seem to work for me.
I edited the android-info.txt file, re-zipped and placed the file onto the sd card. When I reboot into hboot, it says "Loading PG32IMG.zip" then "Parsing" then nothing else happens.
EDIT: Never mind, I got it to work using the other method.

Vivid will not reboot after flash or Juopunut S-off

I was trying to obtain S-off through Juopunut Bear, but after it finds my device and tries to reboot it into its program, it simply doesn't reboot. The phone then will not start at all unless I pull the battery and boot into Hboot. From there I flashed my backup img through fastboot and I was good. I found this thread that said I need to ICS 3.32 firmware. On my phone I noticed I am on Software number 3.26.502.56, so I tried to flash the provided download of 3.32 using fastboot. And it did the same exact thing! Would not reboot, and had to battery-pull and re-flash my backup to get it to work.
What is my problem here?
I am on a unlocked and rooted HTC Vivid running stock ICS and stock Kernel.
I really hope I am not committing a stupid error and wasting everyone's time, but it is possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you can get hboot relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file seems to work for ant errors I've ever gotten , then just go back and redo every thing but s off it should stay off .

Not sure I'm completely understanding you. I need to relock and run stock ruu, then redo everything except s-off? That kind of defeats the purpose, I am trying to s-off

Yes if you are having problems after any mod to the os just relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file and it will fix the issue , then go back after you got the phone working right and then unlock the bootloader , flash recovery , root , ect .
But the s-off should stay off and you won't have to redo that step .
So basically you will be on a stock ics with s-off
Then just redo the process to get it where you want it .

I'm sorry but this just doesn't make sense, the phone is automatically S-On not S-Off, so it won't 'stay s-off'. You understand what I mean?

did you succeed s-off ?
if you did the s-off procedure via " wire trick " was successful the relocking the boot loader will not change the s-off it will stay off ,
Then relock. Run ruu now you are stock ics with the s-off still , and all the errors should be fixed .
Then just re unlock bl , flash recovery , root , flash New custom Rom / kernel, ect.
All I'm saying is if you have s-off then your good ,
To fix all the errors run the ruu , only reason you need to relock bl is the ruu will reject the install if you are unlocked .

Oh, we are talking past each other. I did not succeed s-off, when it reboots my phone via Control Bear it does not boot into the Juopunut program, and I have never had a chance to do the wire trick! Thanks for the help though.

I had trouble on my first S-OFF attempt. I had made a mistake (I missed one of the S-OFF prep steps in section 2 of the SuperGuide, which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 ).
If you want to try again?
-If you have relocked your bootloader, flash your phone stock using your appropriate RUU while phone is in Fastboot mode.
*** If you haven't relocked bootloader yet, you can do it first via fastboot ("fastboot oem lock")
-Start at section 1 of the superguide (unlocking the bootloader, yeah it sucks to do the process again but thankfully htc makes it easy!)
-And then you can try S-OFF process again (section 2 in superguide)

I know this is for the Vivid but I have the same problem with my EVO 3D. And Can get any help from anyone over there. I just relocked the evo but dont know the next step. Can anybody help me here?

Download the ruu from HTC or you should be able to download it from the EVO 3d forum while in fastboot mode hook you phone up to your computer fastboot should change to fastbootusb then double click on the ruu and let it do its thing do not unplug till it is finished then you will be out of box stock

yea im having problems.........i relocked the bootloader
now i can't boot into any rom , and im trying to flash the stock rom zip via hboot and it is not going through
i tried it on the computer , and it says i can update and it will start the process and go into the boot loader , then it says failed and wants to start a recovery process
any help is appreciated , and i have been reading every post i can find on the issue , as i just did this to my girlfriends phone last night..... this is slighty different as many links are dead , and im having trouble finding everything i need
i was on TWRP recovery , but now the bootloader is locked so i have no recovery at all , im going to try and flash the zip with a locked bootloader now , but i don't anticipate it working

ive pulled the factory RUU's from multiple threads , and i can't get them to install
i've been looking for a zip of the stock rom that i can try and flash on a unlocked bootloader so i can S-off , but i haven't found one i can get to boot
like i said , i tried this one
http://bionicgeeks.the-talk.net/t14-stock-rom-att-ics-de-odexed-zip-aligned-rooted-bloated
i flashed the boot.img from the zip , and then tried to flash the zip file via TWRP and it would not boot at all.... hung at the screen after the beats splash screen
do i need to flash the stock recovery ? i don't have it if so ........ any advice what to try next ?

Ruu allows me to initiate update ...... starts sending to phone then says sending forever
....failed
any help
all the Ruu's i download send for a long time and then fail
i was not on a stock rom before trying any of this
i relocked the bootloader and then i have been trying to run the RUU
no other steps need to be taken ?

i have been searching for a working RUU all day....... none of them will actually install the firmware.... any ideas from anyone on what i should do
maybe some personal help ? im willing to try anything at this point

OK slick.... First... Slow down...
You screwed yourself badly here by just running off the handle...
First... Where in the world is your phone now...
Bootloader status...
Recovery...
Last kernel you fastbooted...
And I swear to whatever you call holy... If you ask what fastboot is...
You can find a working RUU on goo.im

found a zip i was able to flash of the stock rom finally worked from hboot with a locked bootloader
now i can get to s-off

I don't know why you would have such a hard time finding the right RUU. It's still on HTC's website for God's sake.

When I run the rumrunner program, I type 'Yes' twice then I get an error telling me to run rumrunner again and READ. What did I do wrong?

Recently I was working on returning my phone back to stock and I ended up using OMJ's encrypted 1.29.651.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904). However, in order to flash an older ruu successfully I also had to trick the phone into believing that an older version was installed. I did it using dd through adb, but I can't find the thread with the info so I'll try to find that.
ok, so here's what I did:
first, I downloaded the encrypted 1.29.651.7 ruu
then, I used this trick to change the version recorded in the phone (I think I had to be root, but I don't remember) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I substituted 1.29.651.7 for the 1.29.651.10 shown in the link
then I relocked the bootloader and flashed the ruu according to the return to stock instructions.
Hopefully this helps you work it out, I'm not sure how much this will help you but it worked for me.

This didn't do it either. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

I don't know if you can flash OMJ's firmware if your bootloader is set to "Relocked". I could be wrong but I think what you need to do is unlock it again first and install a recovery. Then flash OMJ's stock firmware from recovery. From there you can probably do the S-OFF process and RUU back to stock.
You do need to be able to boot into your ROM for S-OFF to work, as you start the S-OFF process while the phone is booted up and running.

You have to relock to use an RUU when you're still S-ON, and you must make sure that you're using an HK RUU.

Yes, relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock). That'll prevent the error 92 or whichever it was. It doesn't matter what recovery is on there, as the RUU will overwrite it with stock.

Did you review the instructions on how to flash it? I believe you extract the 0P6BIMG.zip from the larger zip file, and put it on your external SD.

You can try Firewater, but most likely you'll need to use SunShine.
