[RADIO] HTC Desire S Radios [PG88IMG.zip] (Updated: 21 Oct 2011)

/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

 * if you have any concerns about flashing a radio before flashing it!
 * YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the
 * finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */

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:
   

   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.
   

   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 a LOT !!!!!!! My radio is here, so i can flash others, and if i find errors, i can come back. Thanks again man.

New Radio from leaked official ROM

---

This is the Radio that came with the recently leaked official Desire S Sense v3.0 ROM.

so is this linux only or can the terminal be replaced with the command prompt?

This isn't for linux specifically, this is also possible for windows, where by terminal he means windows command prompt (CMD), assuming that you have the relevant ADB installed.

If you don't download it from here

I have a question: there are some compatibility issue between radio and hboot version?

You can use the new radio with the old hboot.
Any problem for use that.

If you want to install the new hboot while you have already install the new radio, there's no problem of incompatibility

Can anyone confirm what the md5sum for this file should be?

Any chance a download link for this radio could be added to the top post?

There is already newer radio available - 20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00.24_M
