Radios vary between user, for some people it may be the same or worst or better.
You have to flash for yourself, don't like it? Revert back.

Not sure, but newest radio has definitely made my phone get hotter in weak locations. What has happened to moto radios? My note 4 gets better signal!

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.

[Q] HTC Vivid Bootloop, Unlocked bootloader, S-On, TWRP installed.

Hi,
I got this phone today, and unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev website. I then flashed a rom, and wiped, and then flashed the boot.img using fastboot. It worked fine, but the cyanogenmod nightly wasn't very stable. I decided to flash a different rom, but I couldn't get anything else to work. The roms, now including the previous rom, don't boot past their boot animations and shut down and boot again. Any help would be much appreciated!
Also, when I power down from the bootloader it tries to start up again. I have to pull the battery.
Also, it's an AT&T version. ROM recommendations are needed, because I can't get anything to work. :'( Preferably de-sensitized. I've check the dev thread with all the ROMS and links.
Make sure you are doing full wipes for each rom and also flashing the boot image.

I do that

Yeah, I do that, using the factory reset in twrp and then install the rom, and then I flash the boot image using
fastboot flash boot boot.img
which flashes it no problem. I did actually get the cyanogenmod to work, which is interesting.
Update
I've gotten a ROM to work. It's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428726 A sensed ROM. Hmm...

You need to update to ICS first, otherwise it won't boot any JB or KitKat ROM.
Then S-off your device, it's really easy

Thanks! I'm running the "leaked" RUU which is supposed to update the firmware to ICS, right? Can you provide a link to S-off? I can't find anything. Well actually I can, but I can't understand it. :/

[Q] Trouble flashing any roms and RUU

I upgraded to 4.06.651.4. HBoot 1.56 Unlocked S-On
Using TWRP 2.6.3.0, I am unable to successfully flash any roms. Everything is successfully installed but all exhibit the same behavior. Boots up and when I unlock the lockscreen, I get the "htcdialer is taking too long" or whatever. No matter what I do there, it will eventually reboot (within 1 minute or so). Tried flashing some aosp roms but they do not fully boot.
Tried locking bootloader and running RUU 3.05.651.6 (which seems to be the latest) but it always fails with an unknown error, which is likely because I'm trying to downgrade firmware? Problem is there doesn't appear to be a 4.06 RUU yet.
Any ideas?

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.

Thanks Captain...how do you fastboot flash a .zip file? never done that before...I have flashed a image file but not a zip. I have downloaded your rom and waiting to make sure I flash your 0P6BIMG_m8whl_2.16.651.4_boot_kexec-hardboot_patched.zip correctly before moving forward. Also will any SuperSU zip file work on the phone?

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

I thought you wanted to flash an older base ROM? If so, you wanted to choose a 1.xx base ROM from the thread. Perhaps that's your issue.

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?

Yes you are correct. I got ahead of myself. I am downloading the older stock now and hopefully can get that running and then will attempt to s off and put this behind me.

Can I install the Latest Maximus ROM on 2.11.531.19?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I want to install MaximusHD and try out cm13 but I don't accidentally want to install a ROM that isn't supported. Thanks.
Oh and, I don't have S-OFF, Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP and currently running the Deodexed Tmobile rom from this forum.

Cid is your carrier ID. T-Mobile is T-MOB010
When you super Cid, what it does is change that to all ones (11111111) which allows you to be able to flash other carriers firmware to your device.
Then you can flash other carriers roms.
To flash the latest Maximus, which is Marshmallow, since T-Mobile does not yet have the firmware for it , we need to flash the International firmware for Marshmallow.
Also to flash the International firmware, we need to make sure the MID (model ID) matches your device MID which is in the android-info.txt in the firmware zip. For T-Mobile its 0PJA12000.
Here is a guide that might help.
I suggest you do some research on this before attempting it.
Hope this helps

So do we have to edit the android-info.txt to have modelid: 0PJA12000? or just as long as we have the right CID?

I flashed this via fastboot, but when I reboot into it I'm seeing the phone graphic graphic a red triangle+exclamation point. I rebooted and tried to update to marshmallow, but it keeps failing with that same graphic after 20%. Any thoughts as to why this may be happening?
