[Q] Desire FM Radio - every station = Static.

Hi There,
I have been using DeFrost and OpenDesire for the last few months, and have therefore not been able to use the FM radio.
It worked when i tried it initially with the stock Sense rom, but nowdays (MIUI, SenseHD and Sense) all i get is static, no matter where i am (outside in good weather etc). My friend with a Nexus One can pick up the stations at the exact same location.
I have tried all the radios back untill 5.09.00.08 (currently using 5.11.05.14), but no difference.
Any ideas?
Josh.

Go back to Stock using a Shipped RUU. If it's still fubar then send it off for a warranty repair.
Make sure your HBOOT is restored if you've flashed the S-Off HBOOT but i think the stock RUU should write the stock HBOOT back on the device for you.

It's not FUBAR, just the FM radio seems to give static. I have no other issues with it whatsoever.
What does an RUU contain that 'might' fix this issue?
Josh.

Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.

Going back to a Stock ROM will ensure that your software is 100% compatible with the hardware. It's naturally the first thing you should do if you start having problems with your device. If you're using a cooked ROM, there's an increased chance that the problem you are experiencing is related to software rather than hardware. In your case, more so since the Desire 2.2 kernel was only recently open sourced, so the FM radio drivers have only recently been included in 2.2 cooked roms.

Hey Josh,
I'm running LeeDrOiD 2.4.1 and have the identical issue with my FM radio. Did you solve it? If so, how?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi,
I see the latest version CyanogenMod which is CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1 for Desire GSM V7.0.0 announced today in thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11411840#post11411840) and also latest radio "32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17" for HTC Desire (GSM) in thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464).
Shoul I use this radio "32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17" for installing CyanogenMod which is CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1 for Desire GSM V7.0.0 or an other?
Thanks...

You can use whichever radio you want as long as you follow proper flashing procedure and you pair it with a correct ril, which you have in separate thread there.

What does RIL do? I keep seeing it around on the forum but sort of read about it but non the wiser. Is it seperate to the actual radio but linked to it?

Yeah, kind of. Think of ril as drivers software and the radio image as bios for your device's radio hardware.

Thank you erklat,
I installed both of them and CM7 works great.
Thanks again...

Cyanogen > Flashed Radio + RIL, now no more GSM (No Service)

Hello awesome crowd,
I flashed my DHD to CyanogenMod 7.1.
One day on it, I noticed idle radios were eating serious battery, so I decided to update to the latest available from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
Flashed the radio, then installed the RIL, all seemed to run smooth, until reboot. When no GSM was available anymore.
Please help me fix the radio
Missed to say that Settings>About is reading "Baseband Version UNKNOWN".

Maybe try re-flashing your ROM (without wiping)? I'm guessing you've flashed an HM RIL which are meant for Sense ROMs.

God bless you, hopscotchjunkie for the fast response.
I did as suggested and my GSM is back. May not be brilliant on the battery but hey - still working

more complicated
I found this threat's got a similar issue as mine, unless it displays the correct baseband as what I wanted to flash to it, the. Thing is it's only able to connect to 3g network, 2g network are still indicating no service although the signal got full bars, can you guys tell me what I purpose to do??

RIL is just for sense based roms. AOSP roms do not need RIL, so changing it will mess it up. You can flash a radio but that's it.

Re: Cyanogen > Flashed Radio + RIL, now no more GSM (No Service)
Do you ever need to flash rils coming from a cm based rom to sense based? Because as I recall,sometimes the dev has said a ril is included with the rom?

[Q] Weak/none network signal after unlocking HTC Desire

Hello all,
I've unlocked my phone with unlocking tool from the sieempi ( thanks ) and switching phone from s-on to s-off by using revolutionary. However, I encounter a new problem, weak or no signal from my network provider. Anyone have an idea how could I fix this ? Thanks!

Do you have the latest baseband version?
Try other roms and see if the problem persists.

Could upgrading the radio work?

Hey,
yeah I've tried with latest stable cyanogenmod but same problem...also, sometimes when I loose signal I get a full signal and it says that I'm in a roaming I don't know if I'm using the latest baseband version nor haven't upgraded radio. Can you tell me which baseband version is last or which radio could I use ?

Take the latest one and flash it through fastboot.

Where can I find the latest Rogers Radio?

I have an unlocked edition HTC M8 with a GPE ROM running.
I would like to find the latest Rogers radio to flash to see if I can get better reception.
Where would I find it? Can I flash the radio even if I'm running a GPE ROM and my phone is not a Rogers M8?

Yes you can flash the radio, although I found issues flashing the non-GPe one on my EU M8. As for where to find the radio, good start is the Radios thread in Development...
