If I am already on ENG HBOOT can I still use this method to flash the radio's? :confused:

Its still a bit of a learning curve, coming from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to the HTC Droid DNA.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Yes the eng hboot only adds commands not take any away... Just be sure the radio are compatible because it does not check for file verification and can get you in trouble

I had a brain fart. I accidentally typed fastboot flash radio radio.zip, I got the okay that it wrote successfully in my terminal.

I realized what I did and correctly flashed the new radios, booted up and everything seems fine. I verified I have the new radios and I do.

Just wondering where that flash wrote to. Is there a radio partition or did I just create one? Is there something I need to do? Everything seems to be working fine, I'm sending this from my phone.

Any feedback about old radio versus new?
Connectivity?
Data speeds?
Battery consumption?

Thanks!

For the most part its device / area specific... the only way to tell if its better for you is you need to flash it youself... for me its either slighly better or the same...

Slightly better for me here on tmobile, doesn't flop around as much from h/3g/e/nothing like before, tends to stay one one connection longer. I guess just stabilized it some.

Done

30 second install, thanks! Do we have the original radios to flash back should this OTA radio seem inferior? Similar methodology?

I've lost the ability to see my Bluetooth headphones. Was working fine till this radio or s-off I'm assuming. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I've even done a wipe and clean Rom install

Try flashing the older radio. And try the headphones out with another device.

    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]
    finished. total time: 0.160s

    STEP 4- Fastboot Flash radio.zip

    C:\android\DNA Unlock>fastboot flash zip radio.zip
    sending 'zip' (18514 KB)...
    OKAY [ 1.989s]
    writing 'zip'...
    (bootloader) zip header checking...
    (bootloader) zip info parsing...
    (bootloader) checking model ID...
    (bootloader) checking custom ID...
    (bootloader) start image[radio] unzipping & flushing...

    (bootloader) ...... Successful
    OKAY [ 6.913s]
    finished. total time: 8.904s

    STEP 5- Reboot

    C:\android\DNA Unlock>fastboot reboot
    rebooting...

    finished. total time: 0.047s

    STEP 6 VERIFY BASEBAND

    Thanks to JCase, DSB, Beaups and all the real developers who made S-OFF possible on the DNA

    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

    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.

    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

    No SD card, correct.
