Code:

/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or the end of the world. Please do some research
 * 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.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Desire S.
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).
Connect the HTC Desire S to the computer via USB.
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
```
The HTC Desire S will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
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.

shrome99 · Jul 23, 2011

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.

20.4130.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M RADIO

dan-fish · Aug 26, 2011

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?

Sib64 · Aug 31, 2011

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?

uoosuow · Sep 15, 2011

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

I only add radios pulled from full RUUs (that I pulled personally) or reliable sources.

Fair enough! much safer that way.....you don't get people shouting at you then!

If people want the other leaked RADIO's there are links to them elsewhere!

old.splatterhand · Sep 16, 2011

Question:
Is there somewhere a GUIDE for downgrading Radio if the leaked one will not work how i hope?

Sib64 · Sep 16, 2011

Sure. The guide are so simple:
you'll have to use fastboot command but not the PG88IMG flash
Use a simple command : fastboot flash radio your_radio_file.img

old.splatterhand · Sep 16, 2011

And as "your_radio_file.img" i'll take the image file included in PG88IMG.zip.
Am i right?

Sib64 · Sep 16, 2011

When you unzipped the PG88IMG, you've found a file "radio.img"

scrack26 · Sep 28, 2011

my radio on my HTC DS is 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M on this post no "_M" on the end. is there a difference on that? thanks!
