HOW TO Flash T-Mobile USA Radio (Needs More Work)
All credit goes to he_stheone64 and his thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245615
Credit: The War Horse - for telling me the obvious, how to get the radio was listed in the thread above all along
I apologize that is my first stab at development and for any errors you may or may not run into. This is fully expected to work with he_stheone64 method above as the only thing I changed was the radio.img.
This thread taught me how to extract the T-mobile USA radio from my HTC One. Now its time for those in the community who really want to have T-mobile 3G speeds to test this out!
This is for you and you deserve it. As I promised with no more words....
This is how you can upgrade your RADIO without S-Off
1. Download Radio update.zip below and copy to your SD
2. Only an optional step for those, who want to have a Radio Firmware backup just in case
a) Connect your device via USB in recovery and open cmd in fastboot folder:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img
You will now have current Radio on SD as radio_firmware.img
Expected output:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Code:
~ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img
153601+0 records in
153601+0 records out
78643712 bytes (75.0MB) copied, 11.826523 seconds, 5.4MB/s
3. Now just flash the Radio update.zip as usual in recovery, reboot your device and enjoy latest Radio
In case you want / need to restore your current Radio backup:
Either you adjust updater script to radio_recovery.img or just do it via adb in recovery:
dd if=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31

Not only would this be better placed in Q&A but there is a thread specifically about this in the dev sub.

To answer your question though, you will need to get the T-mo radio to be able to flash it.

Thanks! However, it was stated in this thread that we first need the T-mobile radios right? so Im asking.
If anyone has the t-mobile radios please offer it here for download. Then we can begin the progress on flashing it over to test on the dev editions. Thanks
Yes! Please help! Thanks in advance *^O^*
If you get the radio, could be used on the att htc one x plus?
I'm currently using the att one x+ on t-mobile.

Title says it. Need a T-Mobile radio dump to get T-Mobile frequencies working for you guys. Thanks so much.
I want to give the community - especially the ones with a developer edition or ATT - a way to flash Tmobile radios
Please post the download link here and we can all test it out and see if it works.
This can be done with S-On too! Please see this thread:

Thanks so much! This thread has been updated and reflects how to flash the t-mobile radio via recovery.
Lets get on with it and let me know if it works out for you!! :good:
Thanks guys for making this possible.
I'm trying to backup the original radio but got the permission denied message.
Did i missed anything?
1. The phone was booted in recovery mode.
2. open CMD and go to phone's adb directory
3. typed the adb shell command and then see the rest command log
J:\adb>adb shell

Can anyone confirm that tmobile 1700 AWS is working on dev edition?
I'm on Tmo with a 32gb unlocked One, so I gave it a shot. I have a SGS2 as well so I know I get HSPA+ here and not Edge, which is what I'm getting now on my One.
I backed up the radio, unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery, flashed supersu, flashed Tmo radio, did factory reset. No luck, still getting Edge on my One.

You might need to root it first. Then enter the command "su" and grant permissions before the "dd" command.

I believe his phone is rooted already as he already has recovery. Your log you posted "adb server is out of date. killing..." IS CRUCIAL.
You need to launch adb and update it. How? In windows 7 just press start and type in "sdk manager". Everything is straight forward from there. Then try again
I have a tmobile with 1.27.531.7 Is this of any use to anyone?

This is what we're hoping but we need a brave soul to try it out. If it works, it means that we can buy the unlocked / developer editions and bring them to tmobile with full 3g/4g/lte!

I've corrupted my recovery image. I'd be very grateful to anyone who could take a minute to grab the image from their amaze.
Here's the step-by-step on how to do it:
1. Unzip zergRush from the attached zipfile. Place it on your PC
2. Push it to your phone using adb (adb push zergRush /data/local)
3. Adb shell to your phone (adb shell)
4. cd to /data/local (cd /data/local)
4. Run zergRush (./zergRush)
5. It will churn for a bit and then you should have temp root.
6. Adb shell back onto the phone. (adb shell)
7. From the # prompt run (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /sdcard/recovery.img)
8. post the recovery image somewhere I can access.
9. receive my gratitude

I guess in theory, if you have root, you could dd it back to the correct partition from the running android os.
Code:
#dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
Though I haven't tried that. I just used fastboot.

That cannot work. The example you provide has the input file on the PC and the output file is a block device on the phone. The dd command, when run from a PC won't be able to see the output file since it doesn't exist on the PC. Or, if you run dd from the phone it won't be able to see the hboot.img because it's on the PC - not the phone.
For it to work you'd need to first get the hboot.img on the phone somewhere. If you have an sd card you could copy it to /sdcard or you could put it on /data/local.
Then the command would be something like:
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
And, of course for this to work you'd need an unlocked bootloader and a working device that has root. And, even then, I'd guess this would either not work or brick the device. But, if someone's willing to test it then, hey, who am I to say otherwise - go for it!

DO NOT TRY, THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR NOW.
Hey guys, here's the manual for how to get SuperCID WITHOUT S-OFF.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNING USERS, YOU WILL CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER WHICH MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE, BE CAREFUL
Thanks to vogonpoetlaureate for finding where the CID is, he's a great guy so go thank him!
Assuming you have ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) installed, open up your command prompt and type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7
Now you have it dumped on your SD-Card
Next, type "exit" and again, "exit".
Type
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p7
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT SIZE IT IS BEFORE CONTINUING
Open the file with your HEX-Editor, assuming you have one downloaded. I personally use XVI32.
You will see your CID on the fourth line, in my case it's HTC__E11.
Change it to 11111111 and save the file as mmcblk0p7MOD. BE SURE IT'S THE EXACT SAME SIZE AS BEFORE.
When you're back in command prompt, type
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p7MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p7MOD
Type
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Reboot to bootloader, (adb reboot-bootloader) and go into fastboot.
Type
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
It should read 11111111.

Just to be sure, I need to be in "normal" system (not fastboot or hboot or recovery) to do this steps right?
I'm asking that because I'm facing this error:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
I should say I have neXus last kernel and TWRP installed.
Thank you very much!!

So, just in case... restoring old CID = changing value to old CID?
Great job, but I don't think I will need this thing. Nevertheless it's great job done, because AFAIK changing CID will help to get rid of sim lock by such operators as Verizon, Orange, Vodafone. Am I thinking the right way?
A huge thanks to all the devs who worked on this.

HT__044
Hello and thank you for the nice info...
I have tried several times on CID HTC__044 and still i'm on the same CID...
is there any comment or solution for this?
anyway thanks a lot...
Edit: Nah that shouldn't matter.
Thanks!
I see "ro" so that's why is not working. It seems strange considering I have flashed neXus V3 kernel which has System Protection Disabled but I've flashed it again and see if I see "rw" instead of "ro".
Thank you again!
EDIT: Tried again with a "fresh" flash of neXus kernel and no way to make it work. I'm getting kind of desperate
I have tried it with system protection off even and still the same...
What I need is just to flash back to the the factory firmware, My phone is Asian (Singapore) and I coudnt find the Asian RUU till now...
I cant flash the European version because of the CID...
I dont know what to do...

Just to clarify, I was unable to ADB or access the phone before re-locking the bootloader so got it re-locked in preparation of running the RUU.
http://d-h.st/Sp2 tryy that and remember to post the end results
It does state 1.14, but I'll give it a go and let you know!
only one I could find mate.... hopefully it will work If you could let us know that would be useful to know just in case I get in a mess sometime in the future
It's given the error of incorrect bootloader (HBOOT I think it means). Updating my phone to 1.17 changed the bootloader to 1.40 so I need the 1.17 RUU. Really appreciate your help though, and from a fellow Nottingham citizen too!
I had already tried the 1.14 RUU and that hadn't worked. Just need to wait on someone to release the 1.17 or higher for my CID. I'm ok in the meantime as I've bought myself an Xperia Z, so the One x+ will be sold as soon as it's working
First off I know sounds daft but.... you did relock the bootloader? if not is there a file somewhere with the old hboot you could flash?
And more strangely I had a xperia z until I swapped it for the hox+ lol Would love to know why you like the xperia better?
EDIT - do you need stock recovery installed also???
EDIT EDIT - what about this file? http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securekey.php?file=ENRC2B/RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe
Oh and lastly the other freaky thing was the guy I swapped my xperia with was called Adam lol only he was from derby
Yeah I re-locked the bootloader before trying the RUU; even tried it with an unlocked bootloader. The fact I can re-lock and unlock the bootloader gives me hope that the phone isn't completely unrepairable.
The link you've provided has a different CID number to what's installed so it probably won't work, but I'll try anything at this point so thank you again
I like the screen size (big hands) and I find it runs alot more smooth than my one x+. The only downside so far is the battery life, whilst it's not bad I do feel I could squeeze an extra hour or two out of the HOX+.
Re the swapping of the phones, funny how coincidences happen from time to time!
EDIT - I've got it as much stock I can without the RUU, and I think it is stock recovery as the RUU only fails as the HBOOT version being higher than the version that's trying to be installed - thus not completing the install. Also, I don't think we can downgrade the HBOOT until we get S-Off.
i know this going to sound silly but why did you need to return to stock anyway? Could you not sideload a rom onto it with twpr ? I've been testing sideloading on cwm but it dont seem to work :crying: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002
Its worth a try no?
My friends kid accidentally formatted the whole phone when playing with it. Don't ask lol
I tried side loading a Rom but couldn't get it to work, so tried everything before relocking the bootloader in hope there's an RUU released.

Hey Everybody..
Here a little guide to how to make you T-Mobile HTC One a Developer Edition and receive OTA updates directly from HTC with no carries delays.
after downloading and unzip the revone.zip file do the following:
MAKE SURE YOUR ADB AND FASTBOOT ARE WORKING PROPERLY. AND UNINSTALL HTC SYNC MANAGER BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE STEPS!!
ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN WHAT YOU DOING.
adb push revone /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 revone
./revone -P
exit
reboot your phone
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./revone -s 0 -u
exit
adb reboot bootloader
your bootloader should now be S-OFF
to change CID do this:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
your bootloader screen should now show the new CID
you can now flash the Original RUU for the HTC One Developer Edition from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
i take no credit for this guide this is just a re-write from the real devs page. i wanted to make it easy for those looking in this section
Is this reversible? Also, do you get everything you get on the Tmo version except wifi calling and Tmo apps? Thanks.
I think links to the revone s-off thread would be more appropriate than just rewriting their instructions and posting their file here, don't you? Those devs deserve proper credit, and the real support for problems is going to be there....

When HTC updates though wouldn't they also be updating the radio? If that's the case won't that affect our 1700 band or will we still keep it? All I care about is stock since I'm already over the whole flashing and rooting stuff. Wish HTC did a dev edition with tmobile bands.

yup.. i used that one .. everything works flawless.. no t-mobile bloatware
adb says: device not found. I installed everything. From android sdk to fastboot. Hasoon2000's all in one kit works, so it is not my USB connection. I really need to recover with a developer edition RUU. My HTC One is useless right now.
Oh well something strange happend. When I command: fastboot reboot-bootloader my HTC One reboot in to bootloader. It is not working on adb, but on fastboot commands.

I do not have OS. Everything on my phone is wiped. I only have a USB kabel, HTC One which is still unlocked. My only hope is S-OFF and then flash developer edition cause there is no T-Mobile RUU available
Edit: I think it works. I see a white screen with HTC logo and text at the bottom: "This is build is for development purposes only etc". So I commanded: adb reboot bootloader and it works. Bit still, when I command: adb devices, there is no device.
Is your phone with super-cid?

Your phone is showing
S-ON
You need to s-off using the revone file.. and after that you need change it to super-cid.

Yes I try to do that now. I putted the revone file in the map where my adb files are. There I opened cmd and typed this:
C:\Android\adb push revone /data/local/tmp
failed to copy 'revone' to '/data/local/tmp' : No such file or directory
I think its refers to my internal storage? Cause there are no files in my storage right now... Or is it something else?
I'm heading to work right now so won't be able to assist you until I get back home.. what rom are you using? Try to cd\android
adb push revone /data/local/tmp

HI Fellow XDA member.
I intially tried everything and failed. So I have decided to factory reset my Verizon HTC one MAX, and
redo the s-off. It finally worked!!!
Here are the exact steps.
Credit to MrT69 for his awesome collection of drivers.
Credit to the Firewater team for the awesome program.
Credit to all the XDA members for their contribution and anyone else I forget.
Here is my software version:
Android 4.4.2, Sense 5.5, Software version 2.16.605.2
HBoot 2.49.000
1. Factory reset your Verizon HTC One Max.
* Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
* Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
* Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
2. Go thru the basic setups. Setup Wifi which is require for Firewater to work. Make sure wifi is working.
3. Enable developer Options : Setting - About - Software - More - Tap on Build number 5 times.
* Checked - USB debugging
* unchecked - everything else
4. Goto Security.
* Check - Unkown sources
* Uncheck - Verify apps.
5. Goto Display
* Screen timeout - 1 hour.
6. Download and install Es Explorer ( or any file manager of your choice )
7. download drivers from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765383
8. Install the driver in the freshly installed windows 7, x86, sp1.
9. Download Weaksauce from here. Copy into phone thru Windows Explorer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091
10. Install using Es Explorer. Click I agree.
10a. Download Firewater from here
http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
(CRITICAL - Download with Internet Explorer, WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY OTHER BROWSER.)
11. Now Run CMD.exe as Administrator in windows. Make sure adb.exe and firewater is in the same directory.
12. type the followings:
adb devices
*make to to watch the phone screen to give permission to the program.
* make sure you see the device number and device,
* if offline, that means you missed the screen to give permission to the program
adb reboot <–important!!!!
* after reboot, rerun WeakSauce and click I agree to make sure root is working.
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
13. Your Verizon HTC one Max is now S-OFF!!!
Discussion.
I didn't bother to run temproot because there is some script program.
If this works for you, please leave a reply. Thanks.
Mod edit: no need to quote the entire OP....

Nope you are not. Check out Sunshine. It will take will unlock the bootloader and get you S off. You take care of the rest. I was completely stock on the sense 6 OTA when I found out about and used Sunshine. Sunshine does cost $25 to use, but for me, it was worth it.
Sounds promising. Thanks. I'm googling now.

Thanks for the advice. I googled SunShine, paid my $25, ran the app and BOOM!!! Unlocked! S-Off! and Root. All I had to do was fastboot flash the unofficial verizon 2.8.0.0 twrp recovery (that confused me for a few hours as well, I was getting errors with the official), install supersu and update the binaries and that was it. I'm chillin on some cyanogenmod now and loving it.

Glad it went easy for you. I have not put a custom rom on mine yet. I am considering it, but doing something stupid and borking a phone is not the same as borking a tablet. The tablet can sit until I can figure out what I did wrong. I cant do that with my main line of communications.

Sunshine might work. Google it. You could flash an older rom if your unlocked.

You can't flash anything while you are S-ON, bootloader locked, and you can't unlock the bootloader or get S-OFF without Sunshine. Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you flash a custom recovery like TWRP so you can gain root and you can (if you choose) flash a custom ROM or other modifications. For the Verizon One Max, Sunshine is the only alternative.
It sounds like you haven't yet looked at other threads here to learn the difference between booting to bootloader, booting to recovery or booting to system, or what S-ON/S-OFF means, or what adb and fastboot are for. You should know all of those things before you wade in and accidentally brick your One Max.
There aren't a lot of devs still working on the device, but there are lots of threads in this forum and elsewhere on xda that will tell you what you need to know. "Search" is your friend.

I have looked at other threads and understand s-off, boot loader on/off, and stuff. What I don't understand, is how to install the custom recovery. I've seen tutorials for how to install custom recovery on the HTC one m7 but none for the one max. I'm not sure if there's a difference. Most of the threads I've seen simply say that I need sunshine, which I have installed on my phone but I'm trying to gather all the information I need on how to install a custom Rom before pulling the trigger and forking out $25.
