Flashing Radio from SD.. Possible?

[themilkman]

i'm on a Mac, so I am wondering if its possible to flash the Radio from the SD or in a way that does NOT involve a computer. the phone is SuperCID and I have successfully flashed the regular ROM a number of times using the OK+PWR+RESET method from an SD card, but now i noticed that i can upgrade my Radio too.

I am trying to flash it with HERM_Radio_Only_1.54.30.10_CustomRUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348435) and do not have access to a PC.

Pls help.. 'cause the Wiki hasnt yet. Not very Mac friendly, and I dont have Parallels.

If you want to flash rom by SD card. the file should be in .nbh format. also need to rename in HERMIMG.nbh.
You can flash by SD if you're direct use of HERM_Radio_Only_1.54.30.10_CustomRUU

Shouldn't be a problem.

Open your radio file with winrar and you should see a xxxxxx.nbh file in there - probably about 14MB size. Extract this file to your SD card and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh then flash the same way you did before.

As a tip, I normally make sure the SD card is empty (I usually format it also) before I copy the nbh file to it.

it seemed needn't to make SD card empty. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR SD CARD IS FAT32 FORMAT, it's important.
change name to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to SD card(just place it to SD Card do not copy to and folders)

i've done this several times.

Awesome, exactly the info I was looking for. Just one more question before I go for it. I know as a general rule it's a good idea to back everything up. But just so I know, will flashing the radio wipe out the thing? Or will I not need to load all my data back in?

no it will not wipe anything out.....
just load it and soft reset
