Updating to ERE36B on Desire ROM

[Guest ethos99]

Hello all,

I have a problem that maybe an easy fix but i cant figure it out. Im using Desire ROM alpha 12 on my N1 and it is using ERE27. I would like to go to ERE36B but i cant seem to apply the ERE36B update without losing my Desire ROM. what am I doing wrong?

thats not possible. its either desire (which is actually based on erd79 iirc) or any other stock/custom rom. just stick with the desire rom if you like it, paul included many changes from other updates anyway, regardless of what the version says.

I appreciate your help however it brings up another question... in the Alpha 12 thread under Changelog it says "RIL updates (more connection quality and stability in my experience) - ERE36B radio recommended". I take it this is a mistype?

That sentence is what lead me to try and update mine and wiping Alpha 11.

okay i see what you mean. but he just talks about the radio image, not the whole rom!

check your about screen for the radio version, if you applied the PASSIMG you might have updated the radio already.

version number and download is in the stock images thread.

if you still got the old radio, you can think about updating.

this may enhance your connectivity, if you got trouble with 3g.

but be very careful when applying radio images, make sure battery is charged and let it finish!

My version is: passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys

I downloaded the ERE36B from that thread that said is was No-Wipe and can be flashed over anything. Well I probably applied it wrong.

Here's how i did it.

1. I booted into recovery

2. flash zip from SD card

3. used update-nexusone-ERE36B-signed.zip

"ERE36B - update zip format

This download is the ERE36B update repurposed it to a conventional update zip, to apply via the modified recovery. This is non wipe, and can be flashed over the top of just about anything. It is completely stock, secure and unrooted and does NOT include the Radio update. If you flash and end up in a 'boot loop', re-enter recovery, wipe then reflash.

UPDATE ZIP DOWNLOAD MD5: MD5 070e47f96d7c14e682232155e86a8f4b"

4. and i got a stock ROM that didnt work because i didnt wipe first and the file locations are different.

So apparently what im saying is i dont know how to flash a radio correctly. <_<

To each image there's a short explanation.

you even quoted it. it contained this:

"This download is the ERE36B [...] and does NOT include the Radio update"

which makes me guess that the radio is not in there ;p

apart from that, the radio version is the last part of baseband version in about.

From the thread you downloaded the other image, get this:

EPE54B / 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio - update zip format

if your version is different from that, and you want to update.

[Guest ludo218]

For flashing the radio, you must download... the radio <_<

What you are trying to flash is a ROM that does not contains radio; you can download radios here (search for RADIO UPDATE ZIP DOWNLOAD).

To make it short : updates from Google, like the new EPE54B that was leaked yesterday, always contains everything (ROM, radio, etc), and Modaco always release these components separately (one update zip for the ROM, one for the radio, etc).

Ha i missed that, reading will fix it everytime... Anyway, i guess i assumed calling it the ERE36B update i would get the ERE36B update.. Fair enough i will try the other. Thanks

[Guest ethos99]

Ok i got the new radio but im still on ERE27 ...Should i care about that since i got the new radio version?

Im really confused now because i thought ERE36B was the radio.....

[Guest ludo218]

No it's the ROM version. You can see the radio version in Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version <_<
