Radio included or not ?

Hello a noob question for you guys.
I see some custom ROMS (if not every one) says that you have to have a certain radio version or newer.
then again I see stock ROMS often has a radio version in the file name.
Does that mean that the stock ROMS include the proper radio ? and that i dont need to find a radio seperately ?
thanks

Yes, stock roms such as this RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe include an associated radio also.
If you flash a custom rom from the stock rom, you will always have the default stock radio version (e.g. 32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11) installed unless you flash a newer radio rom yourself.
You will find that the selection of custom roms will be without radio versions, and the OP will normally provide links to the recommended radio versions that will work with that associated rom, for performance and functionality purposes.

thank you for helpfull info
another one for you
if i want to downgrade to stock sometime, wil the "old" version of the radio overwrite the newer one i might have installed with a custom ROM ?

If you flash back to a stock rom with the radio version included, then you will also have stock rom and radio installed. The rom image and radio image will be replaced to stock firmware.
You could even flash the stock radio rom individually, list of stock radio's here:

No problem bud

Quick question leading on from this...if you flash a new radio, does it delete all your apps and settings like when you flash a new rom, or do they survive?
Cheers.

No, the radio is written to a seperate part of the device, and does not interfere with the OS portion.

New radio work with old roms?

Hi,, just a quickie im looking to instal a modded rom to my desire.. probably the leedroid 1... and i see it requires a new radio as its froyo.... and my desire is 2.1 atm (official t mobile)..
I was just wondering if its ok to flash the radio first so the rom can boot strait up with no probs once installed? or will the new radio only work with the 2.2 builds?
Thanks

Radio Rom Downgrade?

I have flashed the newer Radio Rom so i could flash a 2.2 rom, but am having same smallish issue with 2.2 roms.
If i go back to a 2.1 rom will i need to downgrade my radio rom to an older version or is it ok to use newer radio?

If going back to a 2.1 based rom, use one of the 4.xx.xx.xx radio's as they are intended for Eclair roms.
For Froyo 2.2 roms, use the relevant 5.xx.xx.xx radio.
The 5.xx.xx.xx radio's are not intended for Eclair roms so yes, you will have to downgrade back to 4.xx.xx.xx.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

As far as I'm aware, the new radio is specific to froyo. It can cause some issues on 2.1 roms.
I'm sure I seen someone post that they had problems.
You can downgrade exactly the same way you updated anyway though. Just make sure you remember not to interrupt the flash.

Thank you for your answers MasDroid/socktug.
Does someone know where to download a 4.xx.xx.xx as all i can find are 5.xx.xx.xx radio roms.

You will find them HERE

Thank you again, have now downloaded 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2, will downgrade and back to 2.1 rom later.
Thanks again.

[Q] Witch kernel and radio for Redux

I've recently rootet my Desire, and flashed Redux. Extremely happy so far, but my batterylife is not the best (slightly worse than with stock rom). I have not changed kernel or radio. So here are my quesitons:
- Wich radio is recomended for this rom?
- If I for any reason choose to go back to stock rom, do I have to change radio and kernel? Or can I still use the modified one?

im not too sure on witch is recommended as ive been using cm7 but once u flash a radio, it stays in your phone till u use your providers ruu file which deletes everything and brings it back to the point of which u bought it. kernels change on every rom u use.

[Q] How To Flash a Second Radio.

Hey there! I'm currently running ARHD V3.1 and I flashed the recommended radio for that version. It was the first time I have ever flashed a radio.
I am now wanting to upgrade to ARHD V3.2 and flash the new recommended radio for this version also.
To flash the new recommended radio do I simply do everything exactly as I did before and just flash the new radio over the old one?
Thanks in advance!
