I have been happily flashing ROM's, creating a Goldcard for a couple of weeks since getting my Hero and have just done a Radio update. I just realised I have no idea what the Radio update actually does.
Could someone explain in fairly simple terms what it is all about, I guess I have cat blood and curiosity has got the better of me
Sure. The radio update flashes the software on the little 'chip' that deals with mobile network/GPS/WiFI/Bluetooth etc. (basically all communications).
The update changes the software to a newer version, which can give better signal and battery life (It's a bit like flashing a normal ROM, except it's only for the communications hardware or baseband as iPhone users call it).
For more info, see http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/#entry1059164 which also gives you a list of them
Thanks for the prompt reply and simple terms. I am almost getting to the stage where I am qualified to make a phone call
Ah, great, I was wondering about this too. Is there any difference which radio rom you flash apart from GSM/CDMA? (My Hero has a suspicious "EU" in it which the roms I've seen online have not. Might just be some versioning, but then again it might be "europe"...)
How do you update your radio? Do you have to wipe?
EU doesnt mean europe, it is a way of identifying the radio version, like there is JU, JH, etc.
I found this out from other sources in the mean while (and forgot about this thread; it's been a couple of weeks after all), but thanks for replying anyway, it'll surely help the next guy wondering.

In the link posted a few posts up, you'll find the radio updates in the update.zip format needed to update via recovery mode, like any other custom ROM flash to your phone. However, Radio updates are typically included in the official RUU updates as well, but those will obviously unroot your phone.
Aside from increasing battery life/signal strength, radio updates can bring bugfixes and features. Newer OS ROMs typically work best with the latest Radio ROMs. After I rooted, I had an "EU" radio on my Telus Hero, and I couldn't make long distance calls unless the phone number had a "+" in front of it in my contact list. Updating the radio fixed that. Hope this info helps.
yeah it helped
But i dont understand the order of updating. First i transfer the update of the ROM to the phone and call it update.zip and the flash that ROM. But then i have to boot up the phone, to transfer the new radio and boot that.
Can it be true that i have to boot the phone and then tranfer the new radio, and the go into bootloader and flash the new update.zip?

OK. Well, the file doesn't *have* to be called update.zip. The recovery image has an option to choose a zip file, which makes things much much easier, as you can flash several files without rebooting, although I believe you have to reboot as part of the radio flash process. With this in mind, I would flash the OS update first, then the radio update. However, it really doesn't matter what order you flash them in. While the OS and radio rely on each other for the phone to operate properly, they are completely separate and individual from a flashing standpoint. They both get flashed in the exact same way from the recovery image, however with the radio, rebooting the phone is a necessary part of the process. If you were (for some dumb reason) to flash the radio and then remove the battery before the phone had completely rebooted, you'd end up with a broken (and possibly bricked) phone.
I wouldn't flash a radio without having an os installed, so if you have wiped then flash an os first. Just to make sure everything goes smooth.
A new radio file won't install until you do the first boot after installing which from memory is forced on you, so you will want to have a rom installed.
Thanks for the information about radio, quite useful. I have tried several ROMs lately but haven´t touched the radio yet. I guess if update to more recent one can improve battery and signal as it has been mentioned before.
I will try and see how my Hero behaves

Yeah once again just make sure you install the radio for your phone type.
E.g. GSM (I am guessing as you are on this forum and not he sprint one)

So basically you just have to watch out if the radio is for GSM or CDMA and then you are good to go?

flashing radio doesn't do anything to the rom, you won't lose your root.
thanks Lennyuk,
Please you confirm that if i flash only the radio ,the root is not pacted ?
Sorry for my bad english and my bad request
Surely by the title you can tell I am a noob. I would like to flash my first cooked rom but I have a question before I get started. I've been doing a LOT a reading to make sure I get this right the first time, however I haven't found anything that specifically helps me concerning radios.
How do I know which one to choose? Do I just automatically use the one specified by the chef, even if it is for a different region? I really don't know how to go about choosing the correct radio, if it is chosen by where I am, or where I go? Or what Rom I choose, or what network I am on? Does any of this even matter or do I just go along with the specified radio????? Do I have to flash a radio for the phone to even work or does the stock one remain? Any help is appreciated guys, thanks.

You'll just have to experiment to get the best result. Flashing ROMs requires a lot of time and testing. Some ROMs will come with a radio suggested and some won't. Just stick with your currentl readio and see how well it works. If you're having problems after a few days, try a different radio.
As far as ROMs go, you just need to know what kind of phone you have: CDMA or GSM. Don't mix them and you'll be fine.

The simple-and-true answer about "which radio" is that there really doesn't seem to be a "best-radio-for-ATT" or "best-for-northern-california" or "best-for-Valky-roms". Have you seen/read the GSM Radio sticky thread in the ROM Development sub-forum?
That being said, you might try 4.49.25.91 and/or 4.49.25.77 -- both very popular.
Just like flashing a custom OS-rom, you need to run the Hard-spl first. If you haven't yet, read "Flashing Your first GSM rhodium rom" on the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development forum.
If you have a Sprint or Verizon phone then you need to read/flash stuff on the CDMA subforum.
Ok. Just a game of trial and error, I see. I'm working on downloading everything and learning how to do this precisely to not mess up! Thanks for the info!!!
For some reasons, my evo doesn't connnect internet thru 4g anymore. It will get an IP and signal says good. but it will not connect anywhere. I have to stay with 3g. Does anyone have a similar problem?

from what i've read around these forums most people are downgrading their radio's because the latest one don't work with 4g....and after downgrading to 1.36 it has worked for them. so try flashing all the different radios and see which one works for you
If youre in Chicago, there seems to be an issue with 4G. Issue should be resolved within 24hrs according to Sprint.

The most recent radio is 2.05.00.06.10. The most recent WiMAX (Sprint's 4G) is 25641_R01.
You can get them from this thread.
Flash them just like you do a ROM. Drop the zip file on your sdcard, install using recovery. Your phone might reboot a couple of times during the process.
No, don't do that. You need to use whatever radio the ROM you're using calls for. You can not just blindly install a new radio on a ROM that wasn't designed for it.
If you are stock, the OTA updates will bring you the newest radios. If you are not stock, you need to use the radio specified by your ROM.

And you can get those proper radio files where? Oh that's right, this thread, the same one I linked earlier.
Some of the ROMs listed on the site will tell you which you need. Some won't and let you guess which is right through trial and error. At any rate, they're all available there.
I'm not contesting your link. I'm contesting your suggestion of blindly dumping radios into a ROM that may or may not work.

What's to contest, other than being a jerk? You might as well say "don't blindly dump ROMs on your phone, you might break it." These aren't like the baseband on the iPhone where it's a pain in the butt to go back to an earlier version.
I did. I'm sorry I suggested he do it the right way the first time rather than shooting in the dark and seeing what noise you hear down range.

You shouldn't mind 'guiding' the newer folks to the right source. There are hundreds of dead ends in these forums. Many of which are bookended by peeps such as yourself saying 'search this or that'. Truth be told, there is little organization here. Sure, if you're a troll you know where to go; but there is no concise guide formulated yet.
So, sieze this opportunity to help those who are honestly trying to find the information. You can hang around and slay those who are demanding without justification. Hell, I'll join you in slamming them.

Looks like Adrenalyne's server is down.... bandwith exceeded. Can someone post a link to the radio if you've downloaded and have it?
Want to Got to CM6 RC3 today, but won't do it w/o the radio updated. Would prefer something I can just run through HBOOT like a ZIP.
Thanks, If you post, please provide directions on how to install.
Again, Thanks.
You don't need the 2.15 radio to use CM6RC3. I'm using the 2.05 radio just fine.
i thought the 2.15 was much better then 2.05...
From what I read it's a hit or miss. Some people take longer to charge battery, or some slower/faster speeds on 3g. I would stick with the 2.05 radio.

Correct, you'll get a brick.
I mean... if you name it correctly, HBOOT will find the file and ask you if you want to upgrade your radio and recovery... this should be easy. Plus, it flashes recovery, so you probably don't want to be IN recovery whilst flashing recovery.
Maybe we need to redo the wiki entry; right now it looks like something from Wikipedia, when what it should have are the instructions for flashing radios (complete with warnings), flashing ROMs, battery stats reset directions, etc. Then new-comers wouldn't have to wade through these threads that are becoming bloated with the same questions and answers.

As an Incredible owner, and a budding annoying noob, I would welcome the ability to find this information in the wiki. I've spent several hours over the last two days scouring threads and the wiki and am still pretty confused.
I made what I now think was a mistake in applying Unrevoked Forever. My end goal was to get Skyraider Vanilla going on my Dinc, and I've just been feeling my way through the process. I've hacked other stuff before and thought I could find my way through with the help of awesome, helpful folks like yourselves, but I'm currently feeling like I'm in over my head.
My sense is that I need to flash my radio from the stock 1.00.03.04.06 to the 2.15 and then load Skyraider Vanilla ... but the Unrevoked folks are clear to say that when you have Forever you should flash all partitions simultaneously, so now I'm worried about what flashing the radio to 2.15 might do before I load Skyraider. And, I have read all the info. on flashing radios and taken it to heart - I am sufficiently afraid of bricking my phone.
But now that I have Forever I'm worried about what happens when the official 2.2 update comes out. I haven't found any instructions that make it clear enough to me how to handle that.
I don't expect anyone to clean up the mess I made, but I would certainly be grateful for some more noob-oriented details in the wiki. I'd also be happy to help with that effort, if there was anything I could do.
Thanks for all the great, free and often thankless work you do to keep technology open.

Unrevoked forever is only a mistake if you need to get warranty work done.... If that's the case, you have two choices... hope that the noob tech at vzw doesn't realize you have s-off or get insurance and say it was "stolen"
You can flash a radio pretty safely w/o worrying about bricking AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FLASH THE SAME EXACT RADIO TWICE IN A ROW (like if it failed the first time or something. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR RADIO VERSION IN HBOOT BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING). If you don't upgrade your hboot (stay on 77) you'll be fine with the new radio. Don't make a practice of flashing radio's though as it's not very safe to do it all the time. I would recommend that if you have hboot 77, upgrade the radio to either 2.05 or 2.15 using the file attached in this thread, or directly from adrenylines site. To be 100% sure, I'd compare md5sum's to be sure before flashing it. Then flash SkyRaider. Make sure to do a wipe before doing so. I'm running 77, 2.15x, and CM6 RC3 w/o problems and love it. I'm a fan of CM6 hardcore, so SkyRaider is pretty much the best sense unless you use adrenylines Second Wave.... PM me if you have any q's. I'll help you out.

I have some heavy meetings in the next few days that I need my phone for, so it may be a few days before I can give it a go, but I will post my progress/results here. I have been thinking about the CM6 ROM, as I'm looking to see what true vanilla android is like, so maybe I'll give that a go.
My main concern with any ROM is Exchange ActiveSync, as I need that for work. There aren't many comments from folks about this at all, so I guess I'll just need to give it a go and find out for myself.

HTC pays for Exchange licensing I believe, so the BEST integration is going to be with a sense Rom. I believe that CM6 does have some Exchange "add-in's" to make it run better, but sense will have better exchange then plain vanilla (remember, except CM6). <- you can always check their change log. I know it has something in it for Exchange that you can take and investigate further.
Wait for official release of new radio?
One quick question. I just ready yet another page (can't post the link, since I'm a noob) explaining the possibility that the supposedly-coming-soon official update could include a new version of the radio that won't play nice with the leaked version. Specifically, it said, "Some figure there is a 50/50 chance that applying the leak, and then applying the final OTA update will brick your phone – making it completely useless."
Any thoughts on the probability of that being the case. I don't want to be yet another person asking "should I go for it," but I am curious what the smart ones around here think about the probability of the official update causing problems if you flashed the leaked radio.

Well, first, please provide me the post, you can type hxxt:// instead so you can post it here.
The "official" OTA is supposed to be coming August 18th (take that with a grain of salt) so not much more wait. If what you read is true, then I would imagine that it's a simple downgrade of whatever your current radio is to stock 1.xx and Hboot will be 77 or 79 whichever you have (b/c both were shipped originally with phone, they're not leaks) which we CAN do, then upgrade to official radio from stock. I can't see how that would brick anything since that's basically what would happen on a stock phone. IF YOU'RE CAREFUL, you can do just about anything you want to your phone, then they return it to stock (aside from S-OFF at this time)....

No Worries! I might recommend that if the update comes out on the 18th you just use that for a while. You can still root it, put new kernels on it (that I'm sure someone will put out), erase / install apps, etc... and that should carry you over nicely until you've read up on things and are ready to jump into this head first.
Like I said, whenever you're ready, pm me if you have q's I'll do my best to answer them. I'll read the post you mentioned and If I find anything worth writing home about I'll update this thread.
Good Luck.... and don't feel bad. I use this as my primary device too, so I usually err on the side of caution as well. A quick suggestion, sometimes it's easier to search what you're looking for on google then XDA directly. You can google something like XDA Incredible radio 2.15 upgrade and I've gotten more accurate results with goog then XDA... i weird but sometimes works better, sometimes works worse.....
Again, good luck!

With all that said, out of all the ROM's I've tried so far I like SkyRaider the best. I know the 2.5 Rom took, but I don't think the 2.5.2 version took to my phone. I also want to upgrade the Radio and add the latest version of Flash. The last few flashes I've done (2.5.2, radio, and Flash) haven't seemed to work. Unrevoked Forever has been the only thing that has actually flashed successfully.
What should I do?
Hello everyone, I currently have AT&T HTC M8,
I recently came across this issue after I installed an Android M rom (SkyDragon, CM13 etc), I wasn't able to receive any incoming calls, they were all redirected to voicemail, I tried to change roms, change different settings, nothing worked.
Finally I searched for Android M's firmware and came across 6.12.1540.4, just search for it and flash it in fastboot.
Once you'll flash that firmware, do a clean install of TWRP recovery & ROM of your choice, it should work with all Marshmallow roms.
Not sure if it'll work if you'll restore it back to Android L (may get stuck in boot-loop or something, not sure).
I'm not taking responsibility if anything happens to your device, if you have any questions, feel free to write & I'll try my best to answer.
Thanks.
I think what you experienced is a kernel problem and not a firmware problem.
And even so, not everybody can do this as you need S-OFF.

I never modified the kernel, it was always stock, for some reason, it worked for me after updating the firmware from 4.xx to 6.12.xx.
I agree about S-OFF, we really need that to mess around with the device.

That's probably a reason. If you installed international/wwe/gsm roms then AT&T/verizon/sprint it could be a problem. Have you checked the specific AT&T subforum for the M8....it's there for a reason because it holds differences.
I personally think you are one step ahead of the real solution. I think it's kernel related. Check the subforum for some info. See if it comes up with something.
I could be wrong......so don't hold that against me, just giving my thoughts

That's really a thought, I'm definitely gonna check it and see if it's something related to kernel. Thanks for the suggestion.
And yeah, firmware upgrade was the last resort I guess lol,
Really appreciate that.
