I just noticed that the volume on YouTube is now linear, ie it is not full blast until I get down to the first volume notch. The only new things I did was s-off and flashed the new radio. I don't see how the new radio would affect the volume control but it did.

PL8320000-DNA.zip contains adsp.img, which I think is the new img that was in the VZW OTA firmware.zip.
It must have flashed when you did "fastboot flash zip PL8320000-DNA.zip" while S-OFF

where can i find the radios? are they the ones in the OP? if so can i still use them even though i have the ENG HBOOT? And if so, can this method still technically work? If not can someone point me in the direction to finding out how to flash the radios with the ENG HBOOT?

The one in the OP works fine. The point of the thread was that you don't have to have the Eng HBoot to flash it. Same radio though.

NVM, I figured it out. I do have a question. Why can't we just flash this zip in CWR now that we have S-OFF? I thought that was one of the benefits, at least it was on my Galaxy Nexus.

I don't think so.. this zip was not designed to be flashed in recovery.. there are no scripts in the zip just the android info txt file and the radio.img

What kind of files?

like anything that you would flash in the bootloader

usually you would put it in a P83IMG.zip file (on the root of the sdcard) and then the bootloader would say press up to flash press down for no

like to update the radios

im just asking becaues on all other HTC devices ive owned you could do this before

instead of flashing them through fastboot oem rebootRUU

    Hello all, Let me start this off first by saying I am in no way shape or form a developer. I am just providing the Guide/Steps to install only the new radio without needing the Engineering Hboot. It also skips the steps of reflashing your boot.img and recovery image that get over written if you flash the firmware.zip

    Items you will need before installing radio
    -ADB and Fastboot connectivity
    -S-OFF
    -Radio.zip in file location that you will be executing the fastboot commands (ie. c/DNA/DNA Unclock/)
    Thanks to lazarus2297 for compiling the radio zip into a fashable form to eliminate the need to reflash BOOT/Recovery

    Radio ZIp- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30538029/radio.zip

    STEP 1- Verify ADB connectivity with your PC

    C:\android\DNA Unlock>adb devices
    List of devices attached
    FA2B9S503169 device

    STEP 2- Rebot Bootloader

    C:\android\DNA Unlock>adb reboot bootloader

    STEP 3- execute Fastboot OEM RebootRUU command

    C:\android\DNA Unlock>fastboot oem rebootRUU
    ...
    (bootloader) Start Verify: 0
    OKAY [ 0.159s]

    Was told these steps would eliminate my Wifi issues.

    If you took the OTA, then you already have these radios.
    Your WiFi issues are likely related to improper flashing of kernel/modules. When you flashed your last ROM, what kernel did you use? The 2 most popular around here are DSB's Cubed kernel, and Elkay's kernel.
    You must unzip the kernel files into their own dedicated folder so you can access them.
    These kernels come with a 'modules' zip file that must be flashed separately in recovery before everything will function correctly. If you're only flashing the boot.img, then there is your problem.

    To flash the boot.img, you should use the IMG Flash GUI app (in Android), or via fastboot, and then immediately reboot to recovery and flash the modules.
    I always also wipe cache and Dalvik cache too.
