Radio update says OK but won't stick. WTF?

[smerritt]

So, I rename ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip and drop it on the HTC Dream. Hold Home + Power, do the Alt+S routine and it says it installed it. Press the HOME + BACK buttons and it restarts, shows the little chip with the big arrow dumping the code on it, then restarts again.

Everything should be OK right? Nope, I still see Baseband = 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

Alright, time to downgrade to RC29 and install the new radio, reboot, etc. Nope, still 1.22.12.29.

Ok, I give up, maybe I'll try installing JFv1.50_ADP1.5.zip and then updating the radio. Nope, still 1.22.12.29.

Ok, try wipe (Alt+W) and then install radio (Alt+S) ... Nope, still 1.22.12.29.

What is the trick here? I've Googled a lot for the answer and there doesn't seem to be others out there with this problem. Is it forever stuck because I had updated to cupcake before dropping the radio on there?

I had a stock OTA version but installed the signed OTA T-Mobile Cupcake and thought everything was fine for a while. That was until I noticed the in call volume control didn't do anything and if I received a call while listening to an mp3, the sound would completely stop until reboot. I had hoped downgrading to RC29 and letting T-Mobile's OTA update patch it. I didn't want to root it, but their OTA update didn't update the radio.

Now what?

Yep, tried the downgrade back to RC29 and let it update OTA. Still no good. Old radio version and now if I try to play anything through headphones it reboots.

I had the same problem...For some reason the new radio would only stick after I installed a modded recovery image.

[smooochy]

I'm having exactly the same problem here. What recovery image did you use, @Contrabus?

[smerritt]

Honestly I couldn't get anything to work. Gave up and got a new phone.
