ROM radio question

Hi everybody,
The HTC triumph who should be the same phone as the HTC desire will be release in a few week I was wondering if i update the Rom radio of my desire with one in the HTC triumph, is it allow me to have access to 3g . Indeed the only difference between the 2 phone are the 3g frequencies.
Thanks for your answers.

first of all i highly doubt it, porting radios over sounds like brick heaven to me, more importantly why on earth would you want to do that?

Hi,
I used to live in France and I bought a HTC Desire there.
I moved to canada and the my phone works well except I can only use Edge. I checked the specs and I saw the frequencies are different between french operators and canadian ones. (I also have a HTC Kaiser who works well on the 2 networks, I do not understand why....)
So I am wondering if there is any solution to make HTC Desire working with 3g here or am I stuck with Edge ? It is not a big problem but it is a little bit slow.
Thanks for your help

I think you're talking about 850mhz vs 900mhz? If so, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here) it's a matter of hardware, so there's really nothing you can do about it. :/

Best to install the latest Radio Update from the Android Development section and see if that is any better, flashing the Radio from a different ROM IS a fast route to bricking

Yes it exactly my problem.
So I will try latest Rom as you suggest. I hoped this was a matter of drivers not hardware

99% are gsm, but cdma roms have a tag with [CDMA] in their thread title.

eh thats what i was assuming.

[Q] Will the custom roms for the DHD work on the inspire?

I am sure the rooting process will be different but will the ROMS be compatible since it is essentially the same device?

No they wont be......

because its not the same device, for starters its 4g, it will use a totally diffrent radio version, drivers will be diffrent, it will use a diffrent framework..... want me to continue?

Well then hopefully there will be some Inspire 4G boards popping up soon.

No doubt they will, xda will support every htc device without question, keep in mind only a year ago this was a htc only forum

GSM or cdma

I plan on getting a wildfire soon. And I want to rot and install roms. But what I'm wondering Is does it matter if my phone is cdma and the roms are for GSM? Also are all the roms out for the wildfire GSM or cdma?

Cdma wildfire is called HTC bee, whereas gsm version is called HTC buzz. There is no custom recovery for HTC bee AFAIK. So don't get cdma wildfire if you want custom roms.
And why do you choose wildfire. It is already outdated. Many users with wildfire (including me) are willing to sell their phone. Now a days you get better devices than it even with low price. The LG optimus p500 and zte blade are preferable (if cam and flash is not given priority).
The newer wildfire s is not rootable as now. So it is also not recommended. Ignore if you are a sense lover.

Oh yeah. The Desire is a great phone. It's not as fluid as new devices such as One X, but it has nothing it can't do ! A perfectly usable phone for everyday use... :fingers-crossed:
