Problem flashing radio or kernel

---

Hi guys,

I unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev and installed leedroid and root OK.

But i'm having issues trying to flash any radios or kernels via CWM or TWRP. Basically which ever recovery I use, it always says it has flashed the radio/kernel fine, but when I reboot nothing has actually happened.

I've noticed a few others on the forums having the same issue. Is there a step I am missing?

Have you tried installing radio or kernel using the fastboot boot recovery.img method just to verify it is possible? CWR can't install radio or kernel images, but supposedly TWRP has a workaround that should have worked.

I can install kernals using fastboot but radio's give me a signature verification error...

As far as I know you can't flash radio images without being S-OFF. "Unlocked" just gives you write access to /system/ and possibly /boot/.

Yeah I thought that too. I wonder why some people can flash the radio via cwm / twrp and others not.

if you get a signature error, make sure sig verify is turned off

and you can flash radios with twrp thru recovery

with cwr you need to fastboot into recovery first then flash radio zip, do not flash radio.img just the zip like any rom

the signature error is only when using fastboot not CWM

TWRP sits there for 5 minutes then says it has flashed the radio, but my baseband never actually changes

I am flashing the zip, but again the baseband never changes

wow--not sure on all that

did you try clearing caches--not sure it is needed though

if you are trying with the same dl, maybe redownload and check md5

or maybe a diff radio zip
