DISCLAIMER
Flashing radio is A VERY RISKY OPERATION and may brick your device if something goes wrong; you may also not be able to flash a previous version if the newer one isn't performing well.

S-OFF bootloader is required to successfully flash any radio. The stock bootloader doesn't support fastboot commands.
Radio S-OFF is highly reccomended, expecially if you're willing to try the latest radio files (> 26.04.02.17). By being Radio S-OFF you'll have the chance to restore previous ROMs and Radio files.

RIL - RADIO INTERFACE LIBRARIES
What is a RIL? Quoted from jkoljo's [RIL] Radio Interface Libraries thread: RIL is a library that acts as a bridge between your device's phone functions and the radio firmware in your device's communications chip (radio). Matching radio and RIL is always a good combination when you think of signal stability and battery consumption. That is why you should flash a matching RIL when you flash a new radio.

Flashing RILs only work for Sense based ROMs and CM7 ROMs > nightly built 57. ATM MIUI doesn't support HTC RILs.

Please refer to the [RIL] Radio Interface Libraries Thread for a comprehensive list of all the RILs released for the Desire HD

QUICK FLASH PACKAGES FOR WINDOWS
Quick Flash Packages are zip packages which will flash the desired radio in a simple and easy way.
QFP are intended for users who have already flashed a radio before and know how to handle the whole procedure and the risks involved.
During the flashing procedure, all the steps are being explained and the user will need to confirm each action.
If you should experience any weird behaviour or should get any error response by your command shell, please close the window and report it to me.

[REQUIREMENTS]
- Your device is turned on and is not in bootloader or recovery mode
- Battery is at least at 50%
- HTC drivers or Google Drivers installed and working
- Your device is recognized under Device Manager;
- USB Debugging Mode is enabled;
- Radio S-OFF has been performed;
- ENG Hboot is installed.

If you're not sure or you do not meet them, please follow the "How to flash a radio.IMG - tried and tested" guide by leith51 and flash the radio by following the steps suggested by that guide.

[HOW TO INSTALL]
Unpack the zip folder to your desktop folder and run the QuickRadioInstall.cmd script which will start the flashing procedure.
Follow the steps shown on screen.

[FIRST RUN]
- QFP will first check if your device is recognized by ADB. This will make sure the drivers are installed and working.
- QFP will then reboot your device into Fastboot/bootloader mode
- QFP will then flash the radio, showing the results

Correct me if im wrong anyone...

ROM is the operating system(Android) , its the image that you place on the flash memory that contains the various parts of the OS including the kernel.

RADIO in your phone is another computer in its own right and has its own CPU and RAM controls the phone. Controls Main phone functions a radio is a number of "radios" really GSM- Phone, GPS, Bluetooth, WIFI, its seperate because you cant have a rogue application effecting the performance of the phone. you cant have some live wallpaper causeing the phone to drop out because it is hogging CPU cycles!

& then the Kernel is the core piece of code that boots on the hardware and then loads everything else, the kernel boots then runs init, which can do several things.

Uhm.. I had to grab them all just to make sure if you where mistaking another one for being the "newest" but no, I couldn't find anything except for the image in any of them.

 

[golf60]

how can i make the .img file flashable via CWM ? the flashable desire files only named radio.img ? How can i make these .img files flashable via CWM ?

these are the flashable radios for the normal Desire... what is different?

[Doktaphex]

I tried building some flashable zips the same way as the desire ones, they flash in recovery but they do nothing. I have to say though that it takes more work to create a flashable zip file than it takes to safely flash through fastboot.

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I noticed the "HTC Desire HD Files" thread but I didn't find any mention of Radio files so I thought they were not on the server. But maybe this thread could still be useful as we can have a centralized place where to discuss how different radios work

I'm using 3 IT and I noticed a small improvement in my signal strenght. Don't expect anything huge, tho

I'm afraid none of the available radios are flashable via Recovery atm
