* disclaimer, I ‘am only new on android so this procedure might include flaws and perhaps unnecessary or stupid steps. There might be better ways although it worked for me. You have to reinstall your apps. Of course I ‘am not responsible if your device gets bricked. Pay notice you will have to reinstall you’re apps again and probably a redo a lot of settings. Backup your data well

Thanks to kingcedz who got me started.

This procedure will get your radio updated to version 1.06. (at least it did in my case)
If you have installed a custom ROM already you are unable to update the radio version. In my case I had symptoms that for example the Facebook app and Google play did work over 3G even at high speed, but internet browsing was impossible. The radio update solved this.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMANDABLE TO UPDATE THE RADIO ALSO. VERSION 1.04 DOESN’T WORK WELL ON SOME OPERATORS.
If you want to do so, we have to go through some drastic measures though. Pay notice again the result will be like a fresh install!

1. Backup all data from your phone.

2. If your bootloader locked, unlock it first.
a. For this I ‘am referring to this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28172565#post28172565
Follow the ‘bootloader unlocking’ instructions first.

3. Backup your system.
a. Boot into fastboot (or you are already there!)
b. Go to bootloader
c. Go to recovery
d. Choose ‘backup and restore’
e. Choose ‘backup’

4. Lock phone
a. Boot into fast boot
b. Connect USB
c. With command prompt : “fastboot oem lock”

5. Install original RUU
a. Reboot system
b. Connect USB
c. Run original RUU.exe. In my case it was “RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Radio_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed.exe”. Google will find you some downloads.
d. Follow onscreen instructions.

6. System will be rebooted. Follow setup instructions. Don’t bother too much with the settings, although make sure you set language to English and set up a WIFI if possible. That will be useful for downloading the update.

7. Update OTA
a. Go to settings >> about >> software updates >> check now
b. If asked select to download the update.
c. After downloading select ‘Install now’.
d. This will take a while. When finished you can check your version in about >> software version. Baseband should be 1.06.34D.05_20.22.30.23U and ruu should be 1.59.401.1

8. Unlock phone
a. Boot into fastboot
b. Connect USB
c. Run “fastboot flash unlocktoken” unlock_code.bin

9. Reinstall clockwork recovery
a. Boot into fastboot
b. Connect USB
c. Run command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”

10. Restore backup
a. Boot into fastboot (or you are already there!)
b. Go to bootloader
c. Go to recovery
d. Choose ‘backup and restore’
e. Choose ‘restore’
f. Choose backup image (check backup date to get correct one if you have multiple)
g. Scroll all the way down until you see ‘yes’. Select ‘Yes’. (google must think if we get to this place we still are not sure what we are doing)

11. To make WIFI and BT work if they don’t work.
a. Follow step 9 of this procedure:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751788

12. Reboot!
a. Set up your phone to your preferences
b. Everything should be OK now. You have to reinstall you’re apps.

Enjoy!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I wouldn't know for sure I think so would you be able to restore a backup when it is s-on?


Did you order from Etotalk? I would reccomend going through my procedure first. I think you can skip the restore backup part you will end up with chinese ROM.
And after that i would reccomend installing European ROM. It includes Google Play.
After that you might need step 11 from my procedure if BT and WIFI are not working.

Myn came from etotalk a month ago and I still had an old baseband version and also ROM version.

There are custom roms out for the T328w?!?!?!

Or are you talking about the default European ROM, or the default Taiwan ROM, and China ROM

We need some help from people from china. there is a new RUU which contains the new radio. Can somebody upload this file?
RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.71.1402.1_Radio_1.07.34D.17_20.24.30.25U_release_272837_signed.exe

Now the question is how to go from a custom rom from radio 1.06 to1.07?
I suppose that we have to relock the bootloader do a backup from custom recovery of our custom rom, flash the above exe to stock, unlock the bootloader again and flash custom recovery again.
We need the above RUU to try it.

thank you

edit we cannot go back to radio 1.04 from 1.06 and do ota since 1.04 contains older HBOOT

Thank you for the info.
we need to flash the complete stock rom with radio 1.04 with the method you mentioned or just the radio 1.04?
Where can I find the flashable zip file to remane it as you said?
I have this file RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Rad io_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed. exe. I dont think we can extract a zip flashable file from this file.

Now my device has unlocked bootloader, radio 1.06 (came with it) and installed european russian version and custom recovery.
I installed the european version using the pesudoflashig tools.

Can you give more details and upload the zip file needed?
thank you again

Thank you very much for the link. it cant work by flashig RUU or zip file renamed which contains oldest radio. update failed.
Actually I found the latest RUU with the newest radio from http:// b b s .zhangku.com. Flashed succesfully the new rom and my radio seems to work much better.
Radio 1.06 for me was not working well with my operators and I was loosing signal in sim 1 so I had to do upgrade.
The next step no is to unlock again bootloader flash back recovery and go back to europe rom with radio 1.07 using pseudoflashig tools or falseclock method.
I dont care much about root since europe rom contains by defauld gapps, but you can check the above site for any solution.

thanks

OK, guys. We have official ruu and unlocked bootloader. So, why can't we extract radio.img n then use a command like fastboot flash radio radio.img? Or did I misunderstand anything?

    Grrr I'm having a very unstable connection mainly on sim1 lately. The connection disappears and it only get's back when I say it to do so.
    It seems like I have to use my own instruction to update the baseband to 1.10.
    Because the procedure is quite drastic can anyone confirm that baseband 1.10 is an improvement and might solve my unstable sim1 connection? I'm currently using 1.06.


    I'm only an end user and I'm horrified how difficult it can be just to have a stable phone ...

    Click to collapse


    Well, if you don't get your answer yet I can tell you this: radio 1.10 does improve your phone communications: better bluetooth, gps and a more accurate network connection. Sim 2 seems to be more stable in connection than before and sounds better.

    Kirkbyg I will try to help.
    I understand that your device came with radio 1.05 so most propably your T328W is a Tw version not a chinese version.
    As far as I know latest Ruu tw has radio 1.05. Only T328 china has RUu with radio 1.06 or 1.07. If you try to flash your device with RUU from a different region it will give you CID error. The only way to upgrade your radio if your device is tw T328W is either wait infill Ruu tw with higher radio is released or soff your device and change cid but jam not familiar with any such solution.


    Of course you can flash any custom Rom using custom recovery or pseudoflashing tools but this will not change your radio because only part of the RUU is flashed this way system and boot IMG.

    my HTC Desire V was delivered as "rooted" and "unlocked", CWM is always installed.

    The Version is chinese 1.35.1402.1 radio 1.04.34D.11.

    Now I plann to update the radio to 1.07. and then switch the rom to european version 1.59.401.1

    How can I update the radio on an rooted device?
    It is possibile to unroot and unlock?

    I have tested several ways:

    1. use original RUU => does not work, i have custom bootloader
    2. OTA Update => download ok, but it will not installed
    3. pseudo flash methode => only changed the rom version

    Any idea? Please help.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You can do the following:

    1. First do a backup of your current Rom from custom recovery in case something goes wrong
    2. Lock your bootloader.
    3. Flash latest Chinese RUU with radio 1.07. Your device will be cleaned stock without custom recovery and root.
    4. Unlocked again your bootloader
    5. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
    6.Now you are ready to flash custom Rom .Better to choose one with root and google play installed.
    You can do it from custom recovery or using pesudoflashing tools. Your radio will remain unchanged becaused its not flashable this way
    Please note that in case in case your Wifi or Bluetooth its not working you have to install original kernel ( boot sign img) via fastboot from the stock based Ruu custom is prepared

    You are ready.
