2.0 just isn't cutting it for me, can I reflash back to 1.36?

hmmm. I just can't say I would recommend that What is the problem you are having?
I suppose you could just flash the older radio like you would any radio, but I don't know the impact or benefit of doing it D;
Some would say this is 100% placebo but whatever...
I've had the best luck with toasts 1.39.00.05.31 radio
also just remember if youa re using a rom that is made for the new radio flashing back can cause problems so look for an older version of most popular roms.
Sorry, accidental double post
FYI, I'm running that radio with the latest cyan nightly, no problems.
In my strong signal areas I'm getting -55 to -65dbm
In my weaker areas I'm averaging about -85

Hi All,
I have a rooted Desire HD with Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. I am running the latest Gingerbread Coredroid ROM on the UK T-Mobile network.
The radio on my phone is Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M.
I have no issues with signal strength, wifi, etc.
Is there any benefit to flashing my radio to the latest recommended one: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
I have read all the threads an know how to do it, I am just not sure what the benefits are and whether they outweigh the risks.
Thanks
Andrew
If your present radio is working fine without any problems I wouldn't recommend flashing the new radio

+1, just bear in mind if your not radio s-off and it all goes pear shaped you may not be able to downgrade
Thanks for your replies.
Well my curiosity got the better of me and I flashed the radio. I used the method described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
I had a problem at first getting the "adb reboot bootloader" with an error message coming up saying "adb server is out of date. killing...". The answer was to kill adb.exe in task manager. It all worked fine after that.
I will have to wait and see if I notice any difference. I have a full strength signal currently.
My understanding is that the radio firmware manages and controls the wifi, bluetooth, cell radios and other low level hardware functionality.
When someone designs a ROM, it makes sense for them to pick a radio and stick to it unless they have obvious issues, as a different radio version can introduce a wide range of variables into how the phone runs.
So, there may not be anything better or worse with an different radio (although with some there definitely are) but the point is, your experience with the ROM should more closely match that of the designers.
That generally means faster, more efficient, and if you have any bug reports, they'll be taken far more seriously.
I've been running the new radio for a few days now and no problems at all. I honestly can't say I notice any difference in the signal strength, but in collaboration with Coredroid V4 the battery life seems very good.
Hi all,
Just recently rooted my phone, and now using Android Revolution HD 3.2 with the recommended radio (Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M), however my phone reception seems to be worse than before.
I was just wondering which other radio versions are compatible with this rom and are recommended?
I've read that the newest rom (12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test) seems to show great improvements all round, would this be a compatible candidate?
Appreciate your help guys!
Yes, I am currently using ARHD 3.2 with the radio you have mentioned. The 3G seems to have faster internet speed and wifi with better signal. Give it a go, because everyones reception is different depending on your country and area
Thanks for the reply. Flashed the radio to the latest version mentioned but still not getting the best reception.
Would there be any other compatible radio versions I should try out?
You can try any of the radios in the radio thread, but it may just be that your have crap reception in your area.
Anyway, I can't remember the the number but the Cingular radio was always great for me, on various versions of ARHD and LeeDrOiD.
Atm i m using the radio 26.08.03.07_M and it s working superb!

Using this too (on CleanDHD) and I'm very pleased with it. I'm in Oslo as well, although not on Telenor. A friend of mine is also using the same radio on his DHD. It seems to give the best reception over here, (pretty much) regardless of rom.
ok guys i have a question..why in most 3.70 based roms do you need to have the most recent radios..at least thats what devs put up in op..are thier certain files that interact with the radios cause im on myns rls5 with the 2.3 gingerbread leaked radio and see nothing wrong..just a simple question then the mods can delete post lol
yea the htc 25 kernels interact with the radios, and cause major problems on radios older than ......9.15 or something. i guess cuz your using the newer leak radio you should be fine. i've been thinking about flashing that radio. is it worth it?

I flashed the newest radio (leak) when it came out a couple weeks ago. I haven't noticed much of a difference in speed (i'm lucky and always have good 3g speeds to begin with). However, it seems to consume less battery when idle, with the 3g radio on. It seems to idle/sleep better than it ever has. 3G radio doesn't seem to consume quite as much battery when in use either (placebo effect? I'm not sure, but it seems to be bettery on battery)

ok thanks buckley. i'll flash it.
srry for minor hijack op.
So should everyone be using the 2.15.00.04.08 radio right now or is it only for certain roms/firmware? Is anyone with this radio getting faster speeds?
I can't get this radio to work in bootloader , all it says is
parsing PC36IMG..
and then throws me back in the bootloader.
I'm still using 11.19. should I switch? is there a new pri/nv beyond 1.90 to go with it?

all I keep hearing is that its for GB leaked rom and some people have gotten slower or faster speeds. lately my 3g speeds are crappy and I was hoping maybe a new radio would help. i mean november 19th is a big diff from april 8.
AFAIK, no new PRI/NV has been released...
I personally haven't noticed better signal nor faster speeds, probably due to the overcrowded network. Haven't seen any adverse effects either, either in CM7 or Myn's Warm 2.2
On my device, the radio is performing without a hitch and I've been using it pretty much since it was leaked. Have I noticed any gains or decline in performance? No, not at all. It just works and my device is operating as it should. I'm currently using Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and I've also used it with the Stock ODEXED 3.70 rom. No problems whatsoever.
I had it from I tried the leak, but I flashed back to 11.19 when I saw no improvement of any kind.
Another user with no improvement or the opposite. Both 2.2 and 2.3 roms seemed to be the same.
Yea, I use the new radio with 2.2 and 2.3 and I don't see a difference in performance.
What's the verdict on this? I was running the leaked Gingerbread radio, seemed to be working fine. But I read in one of the ROM threads in the Dev section that the new radio is breaking phones. Apparently after some amount of time running it it completely breaks WiFi... permanently.
What's the story on this? It came from a dev directly, though he said he wasn't sure that is what caused it, he said his phone had to be replaced, and that others had had the issue with the leaked radio as well. Coming from a dev, it freaked me out enough to flash back to the stock radio immediately.
Prior to the GB leak, I'd been running the most recent leaked Evo radio (4/8 I think?) Also seemingly without any problems. Was that radio causing any issues?
Do you have the original post? What development said this?

Ditto. I've ran it since it leaked. And I've never had a problem. And I've ran all the leaked evo ones as well.

He may have been referring to the leaked GB radio for the HTC Thunderbolt. A lot of people have reported bricks from it.
i've been running this radio since it came out, with wifi on most of the time, and haven't had any issues
I've heard this too, and it was in reference to the incredible 5.06 radio. I used it for a short time and it was fine (aside from terrible data speeds) but I'm not really inclined to risk it in the event that there is a correlation between those problems and the new radio.
Had to dig for it.... I have read thru so many threads, but here is what I'm referring to:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109355&page=15
Newtoroot is the dev who said that he suspected the new radio broke his WiFi. But a few other people in that thread say they've also had issues or heard that the new radio causes issues with WiFi that can be permanent.
Well ive seen about two people running the leaked radio go into an endless bootloop that doesnt allow you to go into recovery or anything just bootloop after bootloop after bootloop...so technically no hboot=brick idk what other problems it causes but it could be the same as the thunderbolt radio corrupting the emmc. I wouldnt recommend staying on the leaked radio if you really dont have to. Try out the Official Evo Gb Radio if you want the newest
My wife and I both have rooted Dincs, I was playing around flashing different radios on my dinc and comparing signal and data speeds, and GPS lock acquisition, between mine and hers. Hers is stock OTA ROM and stock radio. I tried the Evo 4.08 and the latest GB leak, I saw virtually NO difference in speeds or signal between my phone and hers, with them side by side.
- DSLreports.com consistently reported download speeds ~500-700 kbps
- Signal strength consistently -86 to -90 db
-GPS locks in about 8-10 seconds
both phones were very consistent regardless what radio I had ok my phone. That's enough to convince me that the stock radio is good enough for me

Yea the stock radio is good i just wanted to try something new and flash a radio im on 4.08 thing about switching to the offcial evo gb radio
I ran 4.08 for a few months. I had no problems with it. The GPS *seemed* to lock faster, but the testing today has me thinking it must have been more where I was or something else giving the faster locks. I'm going to try some more radios tonight and test side by side with my wife's dinc just to see if any of them actually makes a significant difference.
I've been using the leaked 10.05 radio since it came out and have had no problem with it ever. My wifi has never ceased to work and since I use it about 99% of the time you can bet this radio is safe.

Anyone tried 2.15.00.11.19 and notice any drawbacks over the Evo Official?
Been running 2.15.00.11.19 since couple days after it hit and have had no adverse effects but hearing the Evo Official is good is giving me an itch that just has to be scratched. If someone says not to switch, it's no better, I'll leave it be. If however the EO is better.... AAAAA Flashing I will go!
which radio are we talking about? 05.02 or 05.06?
Well I've read 5.06 is the leaked and had bricked (no hboot, boot loop) so guessing 5.02 would be the official unless I'm wrong which is not uncommon.
Have great gps and call service, data is just miserable lately on 3g. If not radio, it's got to be big red slowing down in area to better support 4g.
