Hi,
I would like to use a RIL because I have currently some problems with turning off and on mobile data. I have HTC Desire and latest GingerVillain ROM (based on CM7). Could anyone help me choose one? I found some threads with RIL, some with Radio. Don't know what to choose.....
Your best bet would be to flash the latest radio and see if that fixes your problem.
The latest one is 5.17.05.23 found here...

To check what one you've got now reboot into your bootloader and it'll tell you there what one you've got. If it's not the newest one just download 5.17.05.23 and flash it through ROM manager.
Hope it helps.
Usually you dont need to flash RIL separately, what's your radio version?
Very nice guide about radio and ril:

Most people suggest to flash the ril version which corresponds which your radio (the linked also give this information), but it's not a must.

Guys this is related to the above topic but has a distinctive deifferent question. I knwo serevral topics refer to versions of the extended ROM that can be downloaded. Are the Radio ROM's as readily availble as i belive my DXA no-longer has a Radio Rom as whener i reboot it there is no display information for the Radio Rom..?
When i go into device information there is no Radio ROM version there registered..?
Cheers

is there one radio update that's better than another ? I see all these posts with links to different radio updates, and some people are claiming better reception/more bars.
if it matters, i'm in the US on AT&T (edge only)
second question: do I just flash it like a ROM ?
p.s. I already searched the forum for an answer first
and
i read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621274
also I am using MoDaCo 3.1 and Villain, alternating from time to time.
I mention this in case if different ROMs require different radio
just use the latest for your android version. there is a thread with the versions here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1427
btw: i installed the eclair radio on my cupcake and everything works fine ;-)

hello,
I want to install CoreDroid so i took a look at the threat and i think i have to install a new radio cus it says this:
Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.16.0.0)
- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL 2.16 (NOTE: already included in the ROM)
12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.25.0.0)
- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL_2.25
but i don't know which one of the radio's i should install i also can't download the RIL_2.25 package (it says not found)
can I just install the other radio because it says the RIL 2.16 is included in the ROM?
and do I have to install an other version of CoreDroid if I do so?
thanks in advance
Hi there,
i'm only new at this too (i rooted my phone about 1 week ago now), so dont take my advice as being spot on, but i would go with 12.41.60.19 first & see how it goes. that way your not having to worry about finding the correct RIL or anything.
You can install other radio without any problem and you must try your self wich radio is best for you, because there is no such thing as "best radio". It depend on where you live and what company provide you gsm....
As the title says, I have the Telus Desire HD on the telus network, just rooted it and installed the leedroid rom.
Now it recommends that I flash the new radio to it, but I've seen radio's that are Telus specific out there, do I need to use one of those? If so could anyone point me in the direction of the newest one/one I should use?
I've found these two pages with telus radios...

Thanks for bearing with me, still pretty new at this.
Also, found this post which seems to be sating that the radio in the first link there could cause sound problems..

I have a HTC Desire HD from telus also but have not updated te radio. I have used my handset perfectly here in Canada on all the carriers and also in Europe. IMO there is no need to flash the radio as it works just fine. Unless there is something I am missing.. someone please chime in. OP where are you located?
Well agreed, It's probably not necessary... but if it can benefit in any small amount, if i know something will work, I might as well. Works perfectly here on the west coast, but as I said,if it can improve battery life, and maybe get more coverage, I may as well.
Can anyone help me out on this?
Bumping it one last time hoping someone has an answer..
Just my personal opinion of changing the Radio, I live in Penticton BC and I run a DHD from Telus on Telus and I just recently flashed from stock radio to the recommended radio from ARHD which is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. I went from H "1"-2 bars Yellow -101dBm 6asu / 3G "2"-3 bars Blue -108dBm 4asu and stayed mostly on 3G not by choice, to H "3"-4 bars Blue -94dBm 8asu/ 3G "4" bars Blue -87dBm 13asu. So for me the Radio change was extremely beneficial!
It depends on what firmware you are on...... custom rom support different radio RILS (not much of a difference though)... the thing to flash a RADIO find the proper RIL... that to if you are using Sense rom.... other roms like CM or MIUI do not require RIL....
Thanks for the feedback, tried it with the radio reccomended for the leedroid rom and it worked no problem, so far seems like it might draw a little more battery though and the wifi connectivity might not be as good either, but I"m going to try it for a few days.
Is there any likely downside to flashing the newest radio out (along with the RIL for it) which I think is the one reccomended br ARHD.. Is there kernel settings or anythign like that specific to the radio/RIL as part of the rom?
Don't know what Telus means (I understand it's a provider, wait before fighting...)
In China there is 2 type of DHD. CDMA and WCDMA.
If Radio HW is different, I will not be surprized that you need to flash a different radio. They can have the same piece of software for the 2 HW, but I don't know. I didn'tfind the answer to this question yet.
Of course one will work on the other network, but you can't have 3G (only GPRS/Edge). European DHD works on CDMA network... but no 3G.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, you can always flash back

Any ROM need a RIL. It's the abstraction layer between Android (the OS) and the radio (HW specific to phone). think of it as a driver on your computer.
Radio=firmware of your "device"
RIL=Driver of this "device"
Hi!
Tried to search and search alot about this but no luck, so I'll just go ahead and ask..
I have a HTC DHD, flashed with CM10.1 4.2.2 (I think the radio is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M). Sometimes the cellular signal is just complete and utter bulls*it. Does that have something to do with the radio or is it just network related things?
Should I test some other radio, and if so, which one? I've read something about this and it looks like I shouldn't flash RIL at all, just the radio.
And finally, it would be nice if some made a general thread for radios, which would list let's say 3 to 5 newest radios for each device and compatible roms so noobs like me wouldn't have to ask this question again :angel:
Or you could use the search function to find other threads from noobs that have asked the same question :beer:
Sent from a dream.
Like I said, didn't find the info I wanted by searching the forums..
But here's some info for DHD users who are facing similar questions:
As told in the first post, I have CM 10.1 4.2.2 installed to my phone. The old radio was 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. I updated the radio to version 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M presented here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
Conclusion after first 24 hours:
+ Better battery life (+25% at the moment)
+ Better signal (both wlan and cellular)
+ Overall performance (No idea how the radio affects this, but the whole phone seems lag-free now)
- None so far
And as far as I can tell, you can update the radio to your phone, no matter where you're located (Operator specific phones may not work if tried). AND remember, if you have a CM installed, DON'T even try to install the RIL, just the radio.
I hope someone uses this information somewhere to provide forum users some answers
