[Q] Your opinion on the 2.15.00.04.08 radio - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Possible to revert to previous radio?

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

[Q] Bad radio or Myn's Rom has bad connection

Sorry don't flame.
Ever since I loaded Myns RLS 5 with new radio and wimax etc.
My signal has decreased in most areas when I travel to my normal spots its all 1 bar or two maybe even none. It never use to be like this until I switched. Any clues?

I have also noticed a huge decrease in signal for any radio. Including WiFi. For some reason I am not getting a good connection. I downgraded back to PRI 177, but it still sucks. I first noticed it when I was traveling... So I wasnt sure if it was because I was in an unfamiliar area and didnt know what kind of signal to expect. But now that I'm home I definitely see a difference.
Has anybody else seen this? Just bad data overall.

I've been having issues with this too... Updated to Myn's RLS5, flashed the new radio combo and service has been much worse than before. I have tried to downgrade the radios, pri/nv and combinations of new radio/previous pri/nv. I've even tried these combos on sense roms (Myn's & MikFroyo) as well as AOSP roms (CM 6.1.2 w/ and w/o 4g) with no improvement. I've even restored my NAND backup of Myn's RLS4. Profile updated after each radio flash.
I've noticed with the signal issues comes less than stellar battery life. I'm a power user so I was getting about 10hrs before the radio updates. Now it's more like 6-7hrs if lucky.
I noticed the same thing except for me its on all roms and ive been having bad connection with service and data for like two months now

flashing radios to 3.70 base roms

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)

[Q] CM7 not getting 3g where I normally would?

Lately I've been pretty much stuck on 1x at work when I normally have 3g almost the whole time. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I'm running 7.0.0 and have tried restarting my phone.
I tried searching, but if this has already been addressed, someone please say so and I'll look harder.
I updated to 7.0.3, same issue...anyone?

Have flashed a radio recently? Which one are you on?
I've noticed that on CM7 3G is a lot slower for me than other ROMs, and on any AOSP ROM 3G sucks a LOT more battery life than it did on Sense
Maybe Verizon is working on towers in your area? Or maybe try flashing another rom to see if it alleviates the problem, if it does then you know for a fact that it is CM and you can start to work from there.
Hope this helps...

Really? I've had the total opposite.
I honestly didn't think ROM's had anything to do with data speeds but I noticed when I went from CM7 to SkyRaider3.5 it dropped nearly in half. I kept on SR3.5 for about 3 months, and then again it's now double (peaking at 325KB/s) on CM7.
To the OP, the most common things I would suggest you to do is check what radio version you have, if it's too old or maybe a newly flashed radio then that's a likely cause for your problem.
Also, more importantly is to update your PRL codes with *228

Newest leaked radio breaking phones?

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.
