Flash new radio from SD card

[Beejis]

Hi everyone, I just got done flashing Juicy 5 (first time flasher here) and was wondering if there are instructions on how to flash a new radio via the SD card as well? I tried searching but I couldn't find anything specific to flashing with the SD card. I have the stock Sprint radio 1.03.15F and am interested in trying the new Sprint radio or the new Telus one.

it's basically the same procedure that is involved in flashing a rom from you sd card...just follow the same instructions

Where can I get the actual radio file from, everytime I download a file from my mac it seems to always be name "downloadedfile" and wont work when I change the name.

And do I want to flash a radio first then a rom or does that matter?

So I just rename it RAPHIMG.nbh and put it on the root of my SD card then go to bootloader and load it? Nothing else? When I tried that it gave me a number 00058002 and said loading then went back to the tricolor screen. What am I doing wrong?

Download which ever radio you want from the radio thread here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616. then extract it and you'll see the RUU_Signed.nbh file to rename to RAPHIMG.nbh.

I've flashed radios before and after an OS flash numerous times. No difference for me and from what I've read.

What am I doing wrong then because I have done that and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh and it doesen't give me the option of loading, just sends me back to the tricolor screen...

Are you renaming it on phone or computer. Reason I'm asking is some programs hide the extension and people end up renaming it improperly. like, on a program that hides the extension you would just change it to raphimg, not raphimg.nbh. Sorry to cover these basics, but I'm not sure how much you know.

I'll try on my phone, but I have been renaming it on my mac which shows the extension. Appreciate the feedback though, have to cover everything like you said.

Edit. I tried again and it says loading initially, then it gives the number up top and changes to checking.

Instead of changing the name while on your Mac, maybe you should try it via your ppc. I don't see why you'd have a problem if the extension name on the file was .nbh. I mean all else fails just flash the radio from your Mac and call it a day.

what are you using to extract the rar file that you download?
