[Q] Can I use Froyo Radio 2.15.00.07.28 on a 2.1 ROM ex. Fresh 1.0.1?

Can I use Froyo Radio 2.15.00.07.28 on a 2.1 ROM ex. Fresh 1.0.1
or does it have negative effects on the phone.. will like to update the Radio but don't want to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 until wifi tether works 100% with this build.
I have no 4G in my area so I figure I don't need to install the wimax WiMAX_26023_R01
If any info can be share on this I appreciate it.
Thank you..

I'm sure you can use the new radio with 2.1....as I have run 2.1 with it.....
As for the tethering, there's a newer version that work.

I ran the newest radio and wimax on 2.1 for a couple of days earlier in the week and didnt have any issues.

Thank you...
Thank you Campchi & BrianBusby2038 for the quick reply.. I will try them today after a nand backup

[Q]0004 HW , which rom?

first time poster here , ive been reading alot of different info about rooting for the evo as i am new to all of this. I just got my evo this past dec and its not rooted(yet) ,i plan on puting on myn's warm rom but one FAQ/post that particularly bothers me is a quote from the following found at android central
Hardware Version 004:
--
Just a tip for after this process is complete, if you have Hardware Version 004 you need to run a ROM built off of the latest Sprint kernel (as of now, I'm sure aosp builds like Cyanogen will update after the source is released) for the camera to work. These hardware versions have new camera hardware. The kernel that works is from the Sprint/HTC 3.7 software release.

so my question is which rom/roms are compatible?(noticed that myn's is based off of 3.30 so im not sure if i can even use that) or is this info out of date or am i missing some information? , i just want all of my evo's features working, suggestions on roms would be appreciated
my evo specs are
Hardware Version: 0004
stock htc kernal
3.70 OTA
HBoot: 2.10
using 64bit win 7 also.
thanks in advance =)

this info you have quoted is out of date. htc (happily) released the #15 kernel source, which is fully compatible accross the board. myn took a long vacation, so if i were you, i would either flash one of the nightly roms he is making (despite the name, not every night though. maybe 3 times a week at most. my phone is getting sore from lack of flashing) or just wait for the stable release.
btw, welcome to the forums, and hopefully to root. i know a few people that would be happy to help you if you are stuck or having problems rooting. i am one of them. my info is all in my sig. just contact me and i will be happy to help you. even if you want a hand-holding walkthrough (but you seem more independent than that. you read!!!)

thanks for the reply dk. what about the #17 kernel's source?, im leaning torwards flashing a more stable rom, any suggestions for a solid one?, and thanks if i run into any problems i will message you

The kernel source for 17 hasn't been released yet that I have heard. For a stable rom I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. The public release of RLS 5 is out tomorrow which will have all of the updated stuff. I might be a little biased as I am a user of Myn's rom, but I could also recommend Fresh to you as well. It all really depends on what you want out of a rom. If you like Htc Sense, then stick to either one of those and I would say Myn's. If you don't like Sense, go with Cyanogen.

If you're trying to flash an out of date rom, go get the #15 kernel from the dev section of this forum. Then all you need is to downgrade your PRI to 1.77 and you'll be able to flash any rom you want.
Enjoy!
I have hardware 0004.
Flash the rom first,
flash the #15 kernel (whichever one you want/like)
flash the PRI downgrade last (you can also find all PRI/radio/etc versions in the dev section)
nandroid first
wipe cache/dalvik between each flash.
Myn's rls5 (which will be released 1/7/11 for everyone), mikfroyo and the stock rom are all compatible with the hardware WITHOUT the PRI downgrade. The #15 kernel is recommended anyway, you might as well get it now.

what are the differences between #15 and #17?
leaning torwards myn's. not even rooted yet haha
i will see what happens in the next few days and report back(in the middle of moving), thanks for the info so far

I would also suggest virus roms. He makes amazing roms. As long as you have kernel 15, you should be able to flash any rom , I believe (anyone feel free to correct me). I dunno, I guess, I try to keep up with the new releases, I don't have hw 0004, but I know others who do who also run virus roms (I suppose it's just a matter of the kernel). Listen to others more than me
But welcome.

Hi there,
I have too a 004 Evo with the 2.10 hboot, and I rooted it with that method u posted and am currently running Myn's RLS4 with the latests radio, nv and wimax BUT with the pri at 1.77 and using netarchy's 4.2.3 kernel without any problems whatsoever, so from my pov you're good to go...
And fwiw, I am using latest RA's....

Just have one more question,do I need to flash updated radios our can I just leave them?
I'm not really sure what the benefits of updated ones are..I've read some scary stuff after people flashing radios, in combo at least

ok, first of all, kernel 15 is newer than 17 for some wird reaosn. 15 was just released on the 3.70 ota. sidology, the updated radios are just the newest released. all root methods besides unrevoked downgrade you waaaay back (to the first software release i think?) in order to exploit the phone. this is why you need to upgrade your radios back. myns 5 is out now, so you have no worries anymore. just root, and flash!
i may not be available to helping you root (i need to train some rats this week homework sucks) but i am free tomorrow and most weekends and will do all i can.

thanks for clearing that up =S, i thought 17 was newer lol. i havent rooted just yet, trying to gather info as i go , i still plan on using the 2.02/2.10 guide in my OP and just re flashing sprint lovers with the radio combo since im not sure if the one in the guide uses that one, then flash to myn's L5
just a side thought: i dont see many posts about people using unrevoked 3.3 much, if it doesnt downgrade radios shouldnt it be easier?
EDIT: just read that unrevoked is an easier method at bricking some peoples phones ,so nevermind lol
anyway thanks alot for the replys and info, its very much appreciated

unrevoked can sometimes brick people, or just corrupt your radio. if you dont mind wiping, then root manually. much safer, and you get to figure out how to actually so some stuff.

Slow phone and bad battery

So I've been messing around with my phone and when I tried to update the radios yesterday it seems to have had a negative effect on everything. Here's what my software says. Does something seem amiss?
Android version

Baseband version
2.15.00.11.19

PRL Version

I've messed with the TMartinPPC_EvoGingerSense_v0.1 update that was recently put out and I've had a couple issues, mainly the voicemail icon that won't go away, and I noticed this morning that my camera wasn't working.
Flashed a backup back to 2.2 but in between I updated the radios. It also seems to take the phone a few minutes when I switch it to Disk Drive to show up on the computer.
Any suggestions?

Either update your software from 3.29 to 3.70 or downgrade your radio from 11.19 to 09.01. To save time, go to the following address and then download the ODEXED version of the 3.70 rom. It is the latest official Sprint EVO rom and should set you straight. No, you wont lose root. Just make sure you go into recovery and do a complete wipe before flashing and yes, make a nandroid backup first.

Thanks, I will give it a shot. Would something like this be a good starting point?

Yes, that will work, but unless you plan on changing themes and mods, I recommend the ODEXED version. When you replied, I was editing my original post...lol

Ok, downloading both at the moment. I just want it to be stable until a good 2.3 ROM comes out.

I understand, my friend. If you get tired of the stock look but still want to maintain speed and stability, give Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 a try. It is Sense-based. If you want a clean, fast and stable AOSP rom, I recommend Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 with the Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel and LauncherPro. It is a very solid 2.3.3 rom. Anyway, take care and enjoy the rest of your day....

Ok here's where I stand as of yesterday. Things seem to be better. Had to downgrade CWM to be able to install the 3.7 ROM, but that wasn't too bad.

Noticed something quirky lately. When I get online via browser or whatnot (last night I was trying to stream music) it seems to take 5-10 seconds before everything kicks in. I was using an app to look for songs to stream and every search would take what seemed like 10 seconds or so before the search would commence. I also have noticed it on the browser too. Any ideas?

[Q] Stock Kernel for HD on Vodafone

Hello. I flashed my HD with Leedroid HD V3, and also used LeeDrOiD GB V3.0.3 - 2.6.35.13 kernel. This was a big improvement on the stock ROM.
I now have a warranty issue with the active buttons and I need to send it to Voda AUS / HTC. I have a backup of my original ROM, which I have flashed back to and all works fine, but my kernel version now shows as unavailable.
Do I have to flash the kernel back to a stock one to avoid warranty issues? Do they look at this?
Trying to avoid them saying it's my fault the buttons stopped working, well just the lights.
Thanks for your help.

Dont know how to get the original kernel back, but I had Leedroid kernel, then when i flashed the new RCMix rom(Kingdom v0.1), the kernel no longer said Leedroid, it reverted to something that resembled stock (obviously it wont be the Vodafone stock, but it might look 'stock enough').
So you could try doing full wipe & flashing that rom & then restoring your original rom & hope the kernel is changed.
there is probably an easier way

thanks for that.
How did you find the RCMix ROM?
I can't even remember what the original kernel said!
Any ideas?

No idea what the original kernel was, probably should have written it down somewhere!
The new RCMix was really good, but had a lot of bugs though. The next version should be awesome with all the bugs ironed out. It's the only one that's got full 3.0 sense, rather than just bits and pieces.
The live weather lockscreen was pretty cool!

is that what you wanted?

Yes that looks like the original kernel details,.
I tried flashing kingdom and then my original voda rom and the kernel stayed as per the stock kernel supplied by kingdom.
Thanks for all you help.

[Q] Updating radio Kinged Kingdom RLS 2.1

I have searched but cant find the answer I am looking for so I figured I would try. Sorry if you have heard it before. I want to know if when using a custom rom can you just flash a newer radio or WiMax to it or not?
Im currently running:
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel 2.6.35.10
PRI 1.90_003
I dont really understand what the PRI and the radio actually does so if anyone wants to point a noob in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I just see that there are newer updates and wondered if they were better 1, and 2 if i can use them with this awesome ROM I have been using. Thanks for any help!

Radio/pri are separate from roms, so you can flash them no matter what rom you are on. Check under About Phone to see what radio you are running, if its old, flash the new ones.

Is there one that is the best for each or is it the newer the better? Thanks.
