Ok I have a tmobile us g2 I'm lookin for the latest radio to flash with my supervillian Rom. But they say make sure its a gsm hero not a cdma..... how do I know witch I have?

You can rest assured knowing you have GSM..
Your looking in the wrong forum i guess... You say 'GSM or CDMA Hero' (Hero is also a G2 Touch... ) don't flash either of those radio's you'll brick your phone.... I think
this is the forum for the G2/Desire Z (HTC Vision), not the G2 Touch.
the G2/Desire Z comes only in GSM versions afaik...
and just for future reference as you go along. Typical CDMA devices do not have a sim card (unless they are global roaming on GSM). GSM phones have a SIM card.
Thanks guys!

WCMDA is one of the air interface standards for UMTS (so simplistically, it signifies the 3G radio while GSM represents the 2G radio).
WCDMA is a completely different standard than CDMA (and actually competes with CDMA's 3G successor, CDMA2000).
Hi all
Quick question: I'm thinking of buying an unlocked HTC Desire HD but it's the European version. Are there any differences b/w the european DHD and the Telus one?
Thanks
Does anyone have a HTC Desire with Cellular South?
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App
Some do, but there are more US Cellular CDMA Desires out there. Luckily it doesn't make a difference in ROMs!
I'm asking because I need someone to send me the stock cellular south desire software so I can send it back to CS because I deleted my backup

Hi, I'm a bit confused on which I have, I got it in the mail with the tmobile rom and g2 hboot fully s-offed, new, only opened to s-off, but it came from hong kong in a black htc old box, it was supposed to be a desire z, but... it has the G2 keyboard, but the dz back and "with htc sense" label.. any clue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
well other than the few things like the back cover wording and the tmobile words on the digitizer or htc or whatever, the only difference that matters is the hboot. it looks like it was a dz but know has a g2 hboot. so now it is a g2 for all that matters

Maybe it's a mix? China can make everything.

That's what I'm thinking, my biggest hope is that it has the g2 bands, because I'm using straight talk, and think I need the tmo sim

Well if you find that you have an FM radio in it, then it's DZ Hardware.
I don't know how you can tell the bands without first booting up into the phone and checking the about, but if you find it:
Desire Z - Band I: 900/2100 Mhz
G2 - Band IV: 1700/2100 Mhz
Maybe the serial number in the About Phone setting could help.
Though other sources say the G2 covers every bands TMobile uses currently:
Carrier: T-Mobile
2G Technology (Frequencies): GSM (850/900/1800/1900mhz)
3G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100mhz)
4G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA+ (1700/2100mhz)

not sure if having an fm radio or not is a good way of telling, I have a g2 and my fm radio works. I believe people with a dz also have a working radio but who know maybe they dont

I don't think it matters much, dosent the dz still have the same bands? as in a tmobile sim card should work no problem, find a buddy with tmobile and put the sim in and see what happens

Well battery plates are interchangeable, however it does say HTC along the top of the phone, though the keyboard appears same as my G2. I'm wondering if it's a re-furbished G2 with an DZ Digitizer and housing.
What does your hBoot say ? T-Mobile if I'm not mistaken have specific radio versions.
Here's my hboot
