New radio work with old roms? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Froyo sense roms got fm radio?

does froyo roms got FM radio? im on vacation, i dont have the telephone with me, so i cant test the new roms.
I can confirm that Pays ROM includes FM radio, unsure about the rest
Ugh...again... Ok, the Desire comes with FM radio. I have it and it works fine. I haven't rooted or flashed any custom ROMs ...

The Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM has a working FM radio anyway as you might expect
All froyo sense roms i've tested have FM Radio, it's HTC feauture.

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.

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] Desire HD - getting back to stock ROM

hey guys,
i'm kinda new to whole android stuff - i have a desire HD stock ROM, no modifications. I'm really interested in flashing it to "android revolution 3.1". So, i read the guides about how to flash rom's.
My only open question is: How can i go back to stock ROM? The Desire HD is running 1.72 atm, and i maybe want to get back to it, if i'm unhappy with custom rom. I read about RUU, but i can't find a RUU for DHD 1.72. It's an unbranded DHD. Would be nice if someone here could help me.
greets!
afaik there are no 1.7x RUU's out.
the 1.7x was just a FOTA of the older 1.3x .
just get your (branded/notbranded) RUU of the 1.3x .
should be fine though.

I m sure you won't want to get back to stock after you get your hands on custom roms
But anyways you ll find 1.72.xx RUU here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Plus you ll have a backup of your stock ROM before you flash a new rom. So should not be any problem anyway.

[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!

All custom roms will have a bug or two. There is no prefect rom and there never will be. IF you want a rom that just works stay stock. This is not a rom site it is a development site. Which means we like bugs cause then we can learn to fix them on our own.
