But you can change the channel on your wireless settings.
I cannot imagine if all the people connect on the same time in channel 11
in the area

Ok, so I've flashed the newest radio and now I'm stuck on the white HTC logo?
I've flashed a lot of radios and this has never happened, I can't seem to get into recovery either, what should I do?

Don't know why this happens to you.
But remove the 'PG88IMG.zip'-file from your sd-card(card reader..) and you should be able to get into the recovery with the usual way.

I solved it by removing the battery and sd-card, and then rebooted into recovery and re-inserting the sd-card, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash rom.

Thanks!

hi guys.. I hv a few questions and want to make myself clear before flashing a new radio..

1. what I need to take note if I want to change to a new radio..? must I flash the one which meant for my region? I'm currently staying in Singapore..
2. In post #1, how can I know if any of the radios for my region?
3. Do I need to wipe/format anything first before flashing a new radio?
4. Which is the most advisable method of flashing? adb or hp recovery? or both are the same..?
Thanks in advance.. appreciate ur kind assist... :)

The old version of LBC Mod ROM has wifi tweaks... you might want to try this.

See this. But its only for old ROMs. Not sure if it is present in newest or not required or whatever... :rolleyes:

Hi,

Sorry for the dumb question but do you overwrite the RIL files before flashing the new radio or after?

Out of interest, what is the purpose of these files. Interested to know as part of my learning with these devices.

Many thanks,

Damian

Got a few issues with this bloody phone, any help with radio fixes would be appreciated....

Incoming calls: 50% of the time when people call me, it doesn't ring, doesn't go to voicemail and just gives a few bleeps before hanging up on them.
Texts also come through late. I can make calls and send texts fine.
I have looked around on the net and it seems to be an issue for a few people.

Wi-Fi: Signal stops completely on any large downloads, isnt set to sleep and is on best performance (really annoying when trying to download something!)

Not sure if it's a radio issue (currently 3805.06.02.03_M).

Just moved from my old desire, starting to regret it!!

Any help appreciated!

I have moved my radios to a new subdomain, since this device is supported by CM & the other subdomain has a bit more bandwidth to play with. So if you been linking to my host, please up you links.

Updated the OP with the 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 radio from the 2.10.401.5 RUU.

    How to Flash:

    In order for this to work, the HTC Desire S needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

    1. Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Desire S.
    2. Make sure the filename is PG88IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
    3. Connect the HTC Desire S to the computer via USB.
    4. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
      Code:
      adb push PG88IMG.zip /sdcard/PG88IMG.zip
      adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG88IMG.zip
      NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
      Code:
      adb reboot bootloader
    5. The HTC Desire S will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
    6. The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
    7. Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Desire S normally.

    Thanks for putting these in one place, and even though there's a warning about bricking phone's, I would like to warn everyone that flashing a radio is very rarely necessary, and should not be done on a whim!!! Not enough is known about recovering from a bad flash on the NVRam (radio), and if this happens you could end up with a very expensive calculator.

    thanks for this, but should i update to the latest or stick with my radio for now? any reviews on the new one using CM7.1 stable? thank in advance.

    Cheers!

    For me:

    Rom: CyanogenMod V7.1.0 stable
    Radio: 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M - that's suits for me, no battery drain, no signal loss, everything works as it should.
    RIL: HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G (Mar 24 2011) - already in CM - do not change-it.

    As I see in your signature you have the same specs, so it's better not to change the radio. Personally used 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 for a week, but I had 6-10% battery drain every night (exchange active sync, data enable). After switching on 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M battery drain is 1-2% in the same circumstances. For me only notable difference between the two radios were the drain. Hope it helps.
