That radio has been around since the 24th of last month.

Hola,
I've been told if i update to the telstra froyo i'll not be able to re-root my phone afterwards, is this true, or is someone pulling my leg?

May be because telstra uses 850mhz band for it's 3g and every one else used 900/2100mhz in Australia.

Thanks for that I had a feeling I was posting in the incorrect forum.

Hey there. Thanks for the heads up.
Downloading now.
BTW. Why would you want to flash this if you're rooting anyway? Isn't this just for the less adept?

Is this a Telstra branded ROM or a generic ROM for Telstra phones?
Anyone else perform the update? Any issues?

It's the official update from Telstra so yes it is a Telstra branded ROM and as such it does come with Telstra's bloatware.

Got it. Upgraded my phone. No issues so far. It didn't pick up the AT&T APN information automatically so I had to enter it manually. This did screw up the setup of the phone since it couldn't connect to the internet. It suggested that WiFi could be substituted for the standard data connection, but it couldn't connect to my WiFi router. After skipping through the setup, establishing the AT&T APN information, it completed the data connection and I was also able to connect to my WiFi router without issue.
The only outstanding issue is with the dates displayed on some apps. While I have set the default to be USA standard, some apps report the date in the European standard. One app, TripIt, reports some trips in USA standard while others are in the European standard. This doesn't appear to be a Froyo issue, but rather an app issue -- as reported by others.
I don't notice much speed improvement except for web browsing. All in all, a very successful upgrade.

[Q] Where can I find details about firmware and serial number codes ?

This is my first HTC device, can someone help me find a place that explains serial number and firmware codes ?
For example Sammobile has detailed tables on how to decode the serial number and firmware code of Samsung phones (what each character stands for etc.), is there a similar site for HTC ?
So far I managed to find how to read the serial number from this post. Can someone help with the firmware region code ?
e.g: I have 1.29.401.11, I believe 401 stands for Europe ?

That all that makes the FW build different - the rest are build related. e.g.
1.29.401.11 - EU
1.29.161.13 - Vodafone UK
They are both the same 1.29 build, with Vodafone slightly newer due to the 6 week wait for them to approve it

Take a read through EddyOS' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665805
It might help clue you in abit.

Forgot about that!

[Q] Can I simply use latest Radio ?

Hello all,
currently I have Radio Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M on my DHD. Can I simply use the lastet version of radio ?
12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M or 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09
Basically I have no real problems with current radio but in my opinion battery-life, gps and wifi could be better....
I read alot (maybe not enough :laugh: ) but I didn't found an answer to it...
Thx a lot !

You are using the a newer radio than the ones you are willing to change to. That is the AT&T 2.3.3 radio update. The lastest radio is the 11_M that came with the 2.3.5 AT&T update.
Flashing a radio is dangerous and might render your device useless, so be careful when doing that. You need to be S-OFF to flash a different radio.

That is probably because I had an Inspire 4G and updates for the I4G were lousy. DHD have many updates in different countries. Anyway, the lastest one is the AT&T 2.3.5 one.

[Q] US phone - 4G

Hello.
FIrst , i know there are 2 more threads ( or maybe more , i could only find 2 ) about this but they didn't made me understand my problem.
So I live in Europe and my M8 is an US M8 ( Canadian if i remember right) and because of that 4G isn't working here , in Europe.
Now my question is : Can I do something about this ? I'm s-off if that can help..
Thanks.

Check if your version of the M8 supports the 4G band(s) used by your carrier. If not, the band support can be changed by flashing the appropriate radio.
Also, make sure you are using the proper APN for your carrier. Sometimes carriers use a different APN for 4G enabled devices.

Sorry but I'm a bit noob. How can I check if my M8 supports the 4G band used by my carrier? The APN is ok.

1) Verify what version of the M8 you own
2) Check specs online to see what bands your M8 version is supposed to support
3) Find out what 4G band(s) your carrier uses
You haven't given much detail, and I don't know your knowledge base (what you do or don't know how to do). So I can only give general steps, and rely on you to ask specific questions on the steps above, as necessary.
Flashing the radio appropriate for your region/carrier is probably going to fix the problem. But I recommend you do the research above first, to first confirm that band support (missing in the device software) is the issue.

Yeah , looks like my brain wasn't working when I wrote you later.
I have a T-Mobile M8 and their bands are 700 , 1700 , 2100. For my carrier I need 800, 1800 , 2600 so looks like I need to flash a radio.
I just did a research and found some radio here on xda but i don't know which one to download. ( If you can help me here i would be very thankful )
My phone is s-off so i'm alright , i just need to change my cid to supercid.
---
Yeah . I know Canada is not a part of the US.

Do you intend to run a custom ROM, or keep the phone stock?

I already have a custom ROM - ViperOne

@redpoint73
So can you help me in finding the radio for my M8 ?

If the latest Viper (version 4.x), I would suggest flashing the 4.16.401 firmware package. Not only to get the Euro radio (with the LTE bands you are looking for), but all the other firmware modules that correspond to the 4.16 software, for most bug-free performance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
s-off is required (which you state you already have) to flash another region/carrier's firmware. Plus, you will need to change to the proper CID and MID.

That isn't the firmware number.
The term "firmware" is a little confusing. On this device, when most folks say "firmware" (including the link I sent you) it refers to a package of modules including hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others, that DO NOT get flashed with the ROM (but are critical in the correct operation of the ROM).
Firmware does not in fact really have a "number", so referring to the software (OS) number that the firmware deployed with is the best we can do. So again, its confusing.
The OS number is bootloader just tells you what software number the current ROM is based. Flash a ROM with a different base, and that number will change. But the hboot, radio "firmware" will not change. Therefore you want to have firmware that corresponds to your ROM.
There is in fact no easy way to tell what firmware package you have installed. The best way is to look at the hboot and radio numbers. So tell me what those say on the hboot screen, and I can probably tell what firmware you are on (although I'm not that familiar with the T-Mob radio numbers).
If you read the thread I linked, it explains it a little further under the big red letters.

Interesting, you already seem to be on the Lollipop WWE Euro radio, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58306004&postcount=734

Did you flash any firmware packages previously (by the method that I linked). Or was the phone modified by a previous owner?
Now why the WWE Euro radio doesn't give you LTE, is the real mystery. You've used this SIM on another phone before, and had LTE?

The radio number would suggest you flashed the Android 5.0 firmware, not 4.4.4.
Check the APN again. Does it match the APN on the "other" phone?
If the 4.16.401 firmware, and running current Viper, and right APN, I don't see a reason why LTE won't work. You might check the Viper thread to see if there are any other reports of a similar bug.

The APN is good. I'm gonna check Viper thread but probably I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm gonna buy the M9 anyway when it's available here. Just wanted to make 4G work untill I buy it but yeah. Thanks anyway for your big help Have a good day/night.

What country are you in, specifically?
I think there were a couple countries (mostly Eastern Europe, I think) that had some data issues on KitKat, but I think they had some minor radio updates. And I would think those issues would have been cleared up by now (for Lollipop).

DEV vs WWE

Hi, I have a question.
I have my AT&T phone converted to developer version with 6.12.1540.4 installed.
Everything is good, but I've noticed that WWE update 6.12.401.4_R came with R letter. After some googling I've figured out that R means Rebuild in this case.
So, technically WWE version would work better? Should I convert my phone back to WWE?
Also, in general, what would you suggest to use in US with often travels to Ukraine?

I want to know this as well... Is there any software updates between the WWE and dev edition.
If there isn't then I don't see the point to update but need a concrete answer :/.
I am aware that between .401.4 and _R the only difference was the boot image.

Rebuild or newer, doesn't always mean better.
Both having the same build numbers 6.12 means they are very similar. So I would say no need to change.
From what I understand, 6.20.401 is coming (with some significant updates), not sure if a 1540 build (DevEd) will be coming or not. But that might be more of a reason to change.

The only real difference would be the network band support. So what version is best for US, depends on which carrier you are using (or intend to use); as there are 4 major (and numerous small regional) carriers in the US, which all use slightly different bands for 3G, 4G.
As to what version is best for Ukraine, you will need to find what band your intended carrier uses for 3G and 4G; and what version's radio supports those bands.
