Great, i flashed my 32A via fastboot, and now im stuck in some strange state... I think i might have gotten a corrupt radio on it somehow...

Yup it seems that way, as it now always hangs when flashing radio (trying a official 2.17 upgrade) grr...

Yes. Cause you flashed a new HBoot.
You should wait, while romcookers will find way to downgrade new hboot
or repacked rom to flash properly to all customers, not only taiwanese.

I think it is time to clear things out:
DO NOT FLASH / UPDATE THIS ROM TO YOUR DEVICES!!!! - This means: Wait for someone to release correct ROM Updates to your devices. This official update is ONLY for TW devices. When you decide to flash something to your devices you should be very sure that you are not doing a stupid move! If someone tells you not to do it then you should hear that! Flashing something isn't like dressing a tshirt, and this means that if you choose a wrong size tshirt you can always take it off and dress another that fits you right. Flashing something that doesn't fit your device can easily brick it! Be aware!

Yes we already know this! But it is too late! So please tell us how to fix the mess we have created!

I agree don't do stupid things in excitement. If you have eng spl etc by flashing all imgs )boot, radio etc) you may brick your device, so please please be careful wait for a update.zip file from greats mods like drizzy, eugene etc.

Once again I want to point that the purpose of this thread is help theese of us that DID the flash NOT knowing that it will NOT work!

In my understanding the only thing you can do is to wait the official htc EU flasher (HTC said around mid November) and see if it's able to replace everything loading a proper radio/spl on the bricked device, acting on a lower level.
Otherwise you would just keep that expensive plastic brick ...
I am sorry, i was also eager to upgrade, but if HTC let you download their flasher only with a proper TW serial number, and if they've already advertised that you need to wait 2 or 3 weeks more for european firmware, then there should be a reason: so I didn't.
Hope you will be able to fix, but I am not too confident: guess you will need service.

It's ALIVE!!!! I have no idea how or why, but after tons of failed attempts and failed fastboot commands i now have the 3.03 update on my scandinavian 32a which i thought was bricked!

yes yes post it please

i have no idea what actually did it, but it is possible that it was because i did a adb logcat command while the 3.03 update was running..
I can see that i have the 1.76 spl, and the new radio (which kept failing on me before)

i have try now to do adb logcat while update is running, but adb continuos stay in waiting for device, or say adb server is out to date ecc

Strange thing... adb logcat simply outputs log into console... How outputing logs can affect to flashing properly?
p.s. please post your full SPL-info too.
p.p.s. I think we need get right order to flashing this update. You tried to flash images via fastboot. What order do you have at first (boot - 1, radio - 2, system -3)?
What did you do at last?

i can't accesso to fastboot mode beacuse the phone stay in RUU USB ..

[Radio & WiMax] 2.05.00.06.10 update.zip (Full IMG)

UPDATE: Anyone who broke 4G using unrevoked, there is no fix yet, sorry.
I've been getting alot of questions and comments about this...
Why is this different from others?
Does not flash Recovery
Does not Flash Boot
Radio is a FULL image and not a diff
YOU MUST HAVE ALL THE 1.47.651.1 SYSTEM FILES FOR WIMAX! (Link Removed, Read)
You break your 4G being stupid, not my fault.
This is a full IMG, wont overwrite recovery or anything else, just radio or wimax!
Only requirement is to have the new system files, don't even need the last radio.
RADIO: Torrent or Direct Download
WIMAX: Torrent or Direct Download
*Disclaimer: These files work for me, if you use them properly they should work properly. I'm just not responsible for damage in any form.
If you want to support me, just check out my various websites, and spread word!
On a side note, I say "must" for the new system files as the new WiMax will break without.
I don't know about radio, but even if it does work, it's not good practice to use with older system files.

Baseband Requirement
Does this flash require that you have a certain baseband before flashing? I am running a stock rooted 1.47 rom that Caulkin posted and am still running the stock baseband radio...I have not updated to the 5.31 that toast posted yet.
Do I need to flash 5.31 radio before flashing this? Or I am ok using my stock .24 radio?
Do I need to reflash my recovery_img afterwards?

Ah yes, I knew I forgot to say something...you do need to latest radio.
Main post updated!
Like I said, radio may not fully update...but it doesn't break anything and it will update WiMax

I'm guessing that this does NOT require that you use Caulkin's Wimax fix first as well?

I'm not aware of any "fix" from Caulkin, but if you referring to his WiMax update, no you don't need it.

I'm honestly surprised nobody posted anything like this before me that didn't include the damn recovery.
It's annoying to have to flash recovery when it's not needed.

So I would have to flash Calkulin's 1.47.651.1 on top of DC 3.2.x then this radio file?

My sentiments exactly.
Anywho has anyone gotten this working yet? I'm not one for subjecting my phone to be a guinea pig when bricking is a possible side effect.
Does any ROM based on the 1.47.651.1 update work with this or does it have to be the stock ROM?

Neotelos_com, did your Baseband version change to reflect this update? Mine hadn't...

good stuff, gonna look into this...

I don't know how but I am the first person to have the full new radio image!
WiMax update will be added back in soon!

is this based off of the OTA released yesterday which was 21.4 MB or the OTA released today at 30.2 MB ?
im still grabbing the 30.2 MB OTA released today over my slow 3g right now so i haven't had a chance to compare the OTA .zip from yesterday to the one today.

I wasn't aware of a new OTA today, these would be based off yesterdays.
It's possible Sprint just switched from a diff for the radio, that would cause about 10mb size difference....in witch this will be the same thing.
No guarantees though, until we find out.

why is it a MUST that we use the .47 system files?

It's been said WiMax wont work without.
I don't know about radio...but you can go ahead and try the radio.
It can always be reverted back using toasts old radio update.zip
It's just good practice to use the system files that these were designed for.
I'm still running DamageControl as a base (with .47), it didn't need a clear for me.

ah, ok..i shall report back w/ my findings!

Radio flashed ok. Tried flashing the WiMax zip and it failed and said it couldn't find the radio.diff?

I did notice the wimax zip has the update-script still looking for the radio.diff to update. This probably needs revised?

Not possible because you need root to place the flash-executable and the img into a read only directory.
Tried it too but you definitly need a method to execute some lines of code. adb push to /data is not possible because:
- adb is not working
- you can't get root to remount /data rw instead of ro.

Before i flash anything... How did you get there?? Flashed new 2.2 ROM? Or RADIO? or????

after we upgraded the official version throw htc live update

And this?
Isn't it possible to hex edit the version string to trick it into believing it is a newer version?

that's not so easy, i think it is nearly impossible, you can't hex edit something on a read only phone (if we could edit sth we could flash the 0.80 hboot back), and hex-editing the whole RUU is - as i think - because of encryption and checksum checks etc impossible, too. we have to inject the flash software and the image - and this is impossible without rw / root.

I think there WILL be a root-hack. it is just a cat and mouse game, htc is now in front, but the dev scene will be back soon with successful rooting i think. so dont fear and be patient
the only hardware which was not exploit-hacked for now is the playstation 3. (I hate not having otherOS anymore ...)

yes should they come with a new release because all the new htc devices will come with 0.92 at least

Adam, get on Freenode IRC and query me.
There's a few things I'd like to test with you
(IRC nick = IEF)

same problem impossible to downagrad hboot or install "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed"

[HOW-TO] downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 again

!!!! ROOTING/FLASHING/DOWNGRADING IS ALWAYS ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
Attention: This method will completely wipe your phone!!!
You can find the reworked Tutorial here: http://android-tutorials.org/
Video of the first step is online: Step 1
Video of the 3 & 4 step is online: Step 3 & 4
Known Problems
If you have problems while re-rooting or custom recovery (unrevoke) try to downgrade again with the above procedure.
Make sure you have made a new goldcard.
If you have problems e.g. 140 ERROR please follow these instructions (thx to raz2133)
This will fix your MISC Partition so you can flash back original RUU files.
Happy re-rooting
P.S. i hope you can understand this because english is not my foreign language

Great News!
Im not Root-Bricked ^^ but someone else will be happy with it =)
Edit: Why is 1 Pic from July and one from March!? And different times.

Thank you!!!
Maybe you should add: this wipes your device...

This is great, keep up the good work! =)
Edit: Are we sure those that do not have a carrier locked/branded also needs to create a goldcard?

For everyone how was in bad luck and updated to the original OTA FroYo here is a way how you can revert it.
The User maximini1 has found a thread where they describe how you can downgrade to 0.80 again.
So i try to explain how you have to do it.
Preparation

2. Download PB99IMG.zip (here - MIRROR - germany MIRROR2)
3. Rename the downloaded file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it onto your SD Card.
Flashing

2. Hold Volume up and press power
3. wait until PB99IMG.zip was found and checked
4. Press Volume Up <yes> - PICTURE 1

First of all, I have an unbranded simlock-free phone. All I did was
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install

Ok for the dumb and ignorant among us (a.k.a me) what state does this leave your phone in.
I get I downgrade HBOOT to 0.80 and my phone will be wiped, but what ROM will be on the phone after the downgrade will it still be the OTA rom or will it be another one?
Or do I then need to install a ROM of my choice after the downgrade, sorry if this is a really stupid question, I haven't put any custom ROM on my Desire yet and then I got the OTA update as I was thinking about checking out some custom stuff. Not had the phone long.
Thanks.

After you've done the steps above you will have the following:
Blank and wiped device
Firmware: 2.1-update1 UNROOTED!
HBOOT: 0.80
Basband(Radio): 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
With that you can root and flash anything you want

Thanks for the tuto.
Hello sweety 0.80, bye bye dirty 0.92 ^_^
Worked for me.
Btw, didn't need the gc

Well, if this works AdamG doesn't have to find a way to root hboot 0.92.
:/
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Has anyone tried this on a branded, but rooted phone?
I've got an O2 branded desire with hb00t 0.83, I can root with unrevoked, but can't boot into recovery =( Hoping this will fix it.

It's works fine! Why doesn't work the recovery bat. on my PC?

You just need to connect your phone to your PC and run the exe. This will remove root, if your are rooted.

I just cannot get this thing to go. It just sits at waiting for bootloader for a few minutes then gives me a USB connection error. What gives?

sorry Football if i am sounding like i am doubting you but is this official? i'm only asking cuz i didn't think they would release a full RUU for such a small and minor update to the phone that may or may not affect certain people, and i also noticed that the dates for the last RUU of 3.30.651.2 were all the same from within the .zip file, but this one looks like they just pieced it together. thank you very much, i am downloading now!
