hey guyss
had my desire z for awhile. Flashed about 20 roms already and lots of fun with them, currently my reception has been terrible and i want to know how a new radio.
Q: what is the best radio currently available for the NAM BELL Dezire Z?
my specs
android 2.3.2
kernal - mexdroid kernal provided (Flippys kernal)
never ever updated my htc dezire z using the update system, so it has the version that was launched with it
Radio - 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Important part here: i rooted and S-Offed using the Hboot method & Visionary R12 method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9143423&postcount=3, and have not touched that stuff since. i used Hboot to get S-OFF in the gtrab guide. Other than that just some tips to flashing a radio. (heard theres a .zip i can flash thorough recovery.)
thanks
edit** paranoid a bit cause it may brick, but if i follow some Proper detailed instructions i should be okay. First time here in radio area.
Honestly, Just follow the directions exactly how they are posted and you should be fine.

You should download all 7 different radios flash & use them each for a couple of days and compare. I'm on 02.27_M myself & I'm getting better network coverage, faster download & upload's and better wifi coverage. From what I've read results will vary so you have to see wich one works best for you.

Hey,
The radio link in my signature is the one that I am using for my DZ on the Telus network. It's much more accurate than the stock one that came with it and more accurately depicts when I'm in a 3G/3G+/H network and the signal seems to be more stable. The best part of radios is that if one doesn't work, you can always just flash over it with an older/newer one or the original one.

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).

With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

I just fixed something like this today. It's a bit of an involved process though. Send me a pm so we can talk via IM.

I flashed one of the stock roms from here to get it to be a euro one instead of asia.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

oh my, you're gonna get super flamed for this. ROM is preference. There are lots of great ones. Read the stickies for root, don't accept any OTA updates..if you update OTA the 2.3 kiss rooting goodbye..Read! Then read some more. This is the friendliest advice you are going to get from this thread you started..I promise.
Go with unrevoked. Check out YouTube. There are many great walk throughs of it there. Just make sure video is for latest unrevoked (think its 3.2) !!watch full video a few times b4 u attempt it 2 get familiar with what's gonna happen. U can always ruin back. Do it on a windows PC is my advice.

Hi,
I have recently flashed the Revolution HD 6.1.3. The forum recommends to flash the radio 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M.
I would like to backup my current radio, but I didn't find a way to do this. It is not possible using the Clockworkmod recovery, neither using other software.
My radio is 12.26b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M (stock). I searched the web and forum for this radio, but I only found the Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M - It changes from 26b to 28b and from "eU" to "e".
According to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295 , the version is the same, the difference is the protocol. What does this means? What is the difference between this radio and my stock radio? Is there any way to backup my current radio?
Thanks in advance.
You can't backup a radio. All available radios are in a thread at the dev section. Some radios have a slightly different name on some phones. But they are the same.
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
I bought my DHD on europe, but I am using it in Brazil. I know there are differences in frequencies of each carrier. All the radios implements the same frequencies? What changes from a radio with "eU" (12.26b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M) in the name from other named "e" (Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M), and the other without any letters (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M)?
I'm interested in this too, I also wan't to backup my current radio rom.

I really have doubts on this. I guess there must be differences between those versions as there are differences in the used frequencies. For example Europe uses 13 wifi channels and USA only 11. I've read posts saying that you can not use channel 13 anymore if you flashed one of these (us) roms.

Still do not update to sense 3.0 ....
I just want someone to tear out the radio and give me a flashable zip. I'm running android 4.0 so I could care less about the rest of the update.

I'll wait to flash a new radio. I'm sure it will be extracted and uploaded here soon.
I am so tempted to run the new OTA, but I would want quick access to an XTC clip to unlock my bootloader in case anything went as VZW planned.
As in VZW would rather we keep our bootloader locked.
Any one see the Red DInc II avail any more.
Looks like we got the limited edition of the RED Droid Incredible 2.
It's so funny that the Vortex is still going for $79.
That phone must be SPECIAL...
As in VZW tries to pedal cheap junk for more than it's worth.
Yeah, I am hopeful that we get a flashable zip of the radio. Don't forget to check the MD5 sum & have a good flash (when it becomes available).
Look in the thread in the general section. Radio but no md5.

cwr will block the ota from installing if you try
The radio installs fine from the posted zip no problems.
I installed the radio just fine as well but I don't see a difference in signal strength. I'm running CM7 and I still see 4 signal bars.

if u mean a radio as in the OP for that rom "Lastest radio recommended" then probably yes. iv flashed rom's without having the "recommended" radio and had no problems but u might aswell flash the lastest radio coz most roms now recommend it. its easy to change anyway, just flash via fastboot commands.
