I'm still on 1.36.00.04.02 after the full NAND root process and flashing the stock 1.32.651.6 rooted sprint build.
Anyone else scared to flash the latest 2.05 radio??? I can't afford a $500 brick.
It seems easy enough (just flash it like a rom), but I'd love to see a video tutorial so I know what to expect. For CM6 Froyo, it might be worth the risk!
im on a rooted 1.32.651.1 rom and I flashed 2.05 radio and 3g still works, i also flashed the newest 4g radio but 4g just scans and never connects. went back to older 4g radio and it works again.
1.36 here on CM6

I thought you had to update the radio to 'the latest' (i'm assuming 2.05) to run CM6???

No not necessarily...im still on 1.36 and everythings working fine. i can't test 4g since its not in my area right now but other than that its fine. Although i do have very low signal bars 1-2 the most....that's whats been concerning me
Can anyone else confirm or deny that CM6 works with the 1.36 radio???

I'm running 1.36 fine on CM6. I tried the 2.x radio, but my time without a signal was consistently around 60%...1.36 works much better for me.
Hi
It seems im suffering from the reboot issue by using google maps. ...So I need to send the phone back. Issue is ive installed the WWE Froyo update via goldcard.
Is there anyway to reflash it to its original Tmobile Rom?
Many thanks gents!
Hello,
I am having trouble with all plain froyo roms without sense. The problem is a CPU usage at 100% all the time. The process was /system/bin/mediaserver. Saw this with an app. I suddenly got an idea that this is might be a radio related problem as a friend of mine runs all these defrost, opendesire and stuff without problems. So do you think I should get a new radio? What are your suggestions for a radio if I live in Asia, Singapore? Also, how do you install a radio? Isn't flashing it with clockworkmod it? But I thought as you wipe it would be gone?
Also, what is the radio? What is it for?
Please update me with what causes the problem and how to work with radios. Also, please tell me which radio to get because I have no idea.
Thank you guys!
Hi,
Just got my HTC Desire HD, downgraded from 1.72 and rooted with the CM7 ROM installed.
I still have the stock radio which came with the phone which is - 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.15_M3.
My question is - I've checked the latest radio thread out but I'm a bit confused as to which one I need to ensure that my device remains unlocked?
Can someone point to me in the right direction please? Also, what is the problem in not upgrading the radio - are there any major issues that can occur?
Thanks for everyone's help.
Dan.

if you have installed cyanogenmod 7 yo should flash the recommended radio for this rom...
but its relative,,,,, also the good performance depends of various factors... bettwen that is your location..there are recommended radios depending of your location...
the best advice... you can try some radios (cm7 recommended.... recommended for your location...) and compare if the signal strenght of the phone, wifi, 3g etc its worse or better...
but when you go to download a radio IMPORTANT:::: check md5 checksum
flash it with the most harmless method that you know, like fastboot commander...

be careful mate..... a badly use of radios or flashing it wrong can brick the phone
So it doesn't matter what radio you get to maintain an unlocked phone?
Hello.
I’m quite a newbie. I’ve search all the web for a solution or a similar problem but I couldn’t find any. Here is my problem.
A friend gave to me his old HTC Desire HD. He rooted it and installed the ViperDHD 2.3.0 ROM which should be based on ICS. I really don’t liked this rom so I decided to switch to chyanogenmod 10.1 the Mustaavalkosta version, precisely: cm-10.1-20130727-UNOFFICIAL-ace-SR1.1.zip. I try to installed it directly but I couldn’t. I try different times, when I find out that the phone was with s-on. I don't know (and my friend do not remember) if it was s-off when he installed the Viper ROM.
Anyhow, I managed to obtain s-off (following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835746 (only the part on the s-off procedure).
Than I was able to install CM 10.1 (yesterday updated to R2). The installation went well (btw this rom is great). The only problem I have is that the GPS is not functioning (also the GPS icon is not showing in the status bar). Searching on the web I discovered that this problem could be fixed with a newer version of the base band (my version is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M).
I downloaded the suggested one and tried to flash it, without any luck tough.
What I noticed in one of many reboots is that the phone was back again in s-on. I don't know why nor when it happened (i think at the first reboot of the phone but is just a clue). I tried again with the same method to obtained s-off but now this is not functioning.
For what I red on various thread, one thing that maybe could solve my problem is to downgrade the phone to a stock rom, turn s-off, change the radio and back again on CM 10.1.
I‘d prefer not to downgrade to the stock rom (also not sure if I can since s-on), I would like to know if anybody has an idea about this.
Maybe the information I get when I load in the boot loader could be useful:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

Hope the English is good enough to understand my problem.

Dear Omunculus,
I was in the same situation just a few hours ago and was able to resolve my GPS issue with the procedure describe here:
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18880-gps-broken-since-611/page__st__20#entry171860 (unfortantely, I'm not allowed to post links yet)
After the reboot, the GPS icon was flashing in Google Maps (it did not before) and after a couple of minutes, my phone could successfully acquire a location fix. I used the app "GPS test" to verify that GPS was indeed working.
Chances are that it will also work for your, given that I have almost the same specs.
Radio: 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M (same as you)
ROM: cm-10.1-20130924-UNOFFICIAL-ace-SR2.zip (slightly newer than yours)
Please note that I neither had to flash my radio nor did I have to enable S-OFF. I hope this solution works for you as well.

No need to turn s-off or change radio.
The first time I installed JellyTime (4.2 - R8), I had a similar issue: GPS not working.
I flashed back the stock ROM used to root the phone in Glevitan's tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515
From that stock ROM, I turned on GPS, I used an app to verify that GPS was working (GPS Status), after a few minutes I was able to get located. I re-flashed JellyTime and it worked.
My phone is still S-ON and with the original radio ROM. I posted a few messages about it a few months ago, look for them if you want more details.
Updating the radio is quite dangerous, better know exactly what you do.
Some other people were reporting that sometimes the GPS antena needs to be physically fixed.
Good luck with your phone.

Thank you very much IRQs, it functioned. Now I'm see the gps icon and he detects my position. I have only the feeling
that it is extremely slow to find satellites and the position.
But now it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same sport.

Thank you Math59 for your reply. I know that updating the radio could be dangerous, but it was all my reading about this problem
that convinced me. I'm still convinced (based only on my lecture) that changing the radio could improve the performance of wi-fi, gps and 3g too. Obviously, now that everything works properly, I will not try anything risky.
My mobile had also a problem with the GPS antenna, but that was the first problem I solved (without any luck).
if your now s-off its just a case of downloading the correct radio and installer and install it as you do with a rom via sd-card- i did it this way via 4ext on my DHD.

Try a new GPS antenna, solved my problems. First I had very bad signal, and after a while I had no signal at all (even with newest radio). The antenna is located inside the flashlight cover, which you can replace with a new one. There are a lot available on ebay for only 4-5 euro's, search for "desire hd gps antenna". The old antenna broke in multiple pieces when I removed it (3 years old), so it was clear this was the problem. I now have very good signal!

I solved the same problem by soldering a drop of pond over the golden contact in the antenna

Sometimes it's because bad contacts indeed, then you can bend the spring contacts slightly or a drop of pond on at the cover side as you suggested. This wasn't an option for me because the metal antenna strip inside was broken. You should measure a short circuit between the two contacts, and this was not the case for me.
