Hi, I have a HTC Hero Eureopean version that I bought in Canada before Telus announce that Hero was comming to Telus. I was able yesterday to downgrade to version RUU 2.73.405.5 using the Gold Card method. Works fine
Now I was wondering is there a way to flash the radio of the european version with the one for the US and Canada so I can get 3G data transfer instead of old EDGE. I already set up the APN with Rogers and works ok on EDGE (for now)
I read a bit on the forum and there so much thread that I'm a bit confused. I'm kinda new to all this so please excuse me if this already beed discuss somewhere else.
I,m still reading and getting really excited about the androis platform and everything.
Thanks guys (and girls)
If you cant do it with your goldcard, You'll need to route your device, then do it with flashrec or sumat theres a few guides in the hero section

Im looking to flash a custom rom to a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 for the sole intention of getting rid of my work phone (AT&T Blackberry). What is the best ROM (and easiest to switch between radios) to do something like this?
Thanks for any tips!

So far as I know you cannot flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone. It will not work.

The CDMA touch pro 2 is also a "world phone" so it has a built in GSM radio. The key is unlocking it for domestic GSM carriers. There are some unlockers to do this, but I am assuming there are various different radios and ROMs you can use that may make this work better or be easier to use.

I am aware of the "world phone" capabilities, and I stand by my statement. You will brick your CDMA phone if you flash a GSM ROM. You need to flash a CDMA ROM.
I believe that it is possible to "un-brick" back to CDMA, although so far as I know no one has "un-bricked" a GSM phone that was accidentally flashed with CDMA.
for better results... aka answers.
i suggest asking this question here --> linky.
because primarily your phone is CDMA,
therefore a CDMA ROM would be needed/required.
i also suggest a read of this --> linky.
it is very informative.
and should help a lot with answering your questions.
hope that helps.

As a CDMA/GSM phone we have the capability to use a GSM sim card, but we can only use tools that were specifically built for CDMA, including ROMs/radios. Flashing a GSM rom/radio will seriously hurt your phone, possibly rendering it unusable.
To unlock for a GSM carrier in the continental US, you will first need to SIM unlock, either through calling your carrier and requesting a SIM unlock or using the olinex SIM unlocker found in the CDMA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
There are a couple guides to getting the tp2 working on various carriers.

Guys it seems that the uk virgin mobile company has now released the ONE V so PLEASE either say your using GSM version or the CDMA (simless) mobile PLEASE....it will help us to help you and avoid killing your phone
*edit*
VIRGIN MOBILE CANADA YOU GUYS ARE ALSO GSM SO USE THE GSM TAGGED ROMS
thanks

That is correct, I live in the UK and have the One V from Virgin Media - here's to hoping that people don't get mixed up between Virgin Mobile GSM and CDMA and brick their phones

Yeah, I was actually about to suggest [GSM] and [CDMA] thread tags
whacking this back up
Very helpful! Was wondering which one was mine.
Better option
It would be better if we separate the GSM and CDMA threads like "One V GSM Android Development" and "One V CDMA Android Development" to avoid confusion...
Just suggesting guys as it would be easier to maintain threads and mix ups.. :silly:

yeah my phone is all but dead outside of bootloader mode. smh. fml. i just paid 250 for it a week ago. and im looking at all this on how to fix it and its a foreign language to me. its gotten to the point where i dont care about the custom firmware no more (which would be awesome tho) and just to get my phone back
helpful , thank you
I wish more people did this, i was unaware of this difference when rooting/ installing roms on my one v and almost bricked my device because No one labelled CDMA or GSM, it caused all sorts of trouble and a few hours more hassle then it should have been

The [GSM Flash Recovery] is for all phones that are sold and made in the USA or countries that are associated. [CDMA Flash Recovery] is for all phones that are sold and made in other countries (Europe, Asia, etc.)

WRONG. The Virgin Mobile USA version is CDMA. And most versions in other countries are GSM. To avoid confusion, I would go with lloir's suggestion. If it has a sim card it IS GSM. If it doesn't have one, it IS CDMA. Some countries in Asia do use the CDMA network, IIRC.
well which is it??
I'm getting ready to order a new phone and I'm leaning towards the One V from Virgin Mobile(I live in the USA). However I have been researching roms and root methods and I want to make sure I am looking at the right threads. Is the USA version of the One V from Virgin Mobile CDMA or GSM????
Virgin Mobile USA uses CDMA.
?
What's the difference between primo c and primo u? And any other primo's that I don't know about?
As far as I know...
PrimoU = GSM 3G
PrimoC = CDMA 3G
Everything else, is the same.

Phone must be in fastboot mode. Connect to your computer with the USB cable that came with your phone. Open a command prompt and cd c:\fastboot(assuming your fastboot folder is on your c: drive). Make sure you have the boot.IMG copied to your fastboot folder. In the command prompt, once your in your fastboot folder type" fasboot flash boot boot.img". If everything was done correctly then it should complete without any errors.

Don't use the boot.img from that rom if you are virgin mobile!!!! Use either JMZ's ics kernel or Simon's sick kernel for CDMA
the reason is the boot.img from that rom is from the GSM version as far as I know that will cause a hard brick of the phone
s-off
if only s-off could be achieved. im trying to fix my aunts phone now and no s-off is really pissing me off because she took the ota and as far as i can tell sick kernel is the only choice to boot any custom rom running this hboot and radio and bluetooth wont work on sick.lets just say she is pissed cause she has to have bluetooth for her job.

OTA Updates After Changing Radios
Hey guys, so I'm kind of noob at this but I do have some experience and is just wondering about a few things.
So i flashed the GPE version last night only to find that it booted correctly and everything but just could not find my local mobile network (Starhub I live in Singapore). So I went on over to do some research and I found this thread and decided to try it out, and as I have bought the phone in Taiwan, I went ahead and downloaded the Taiwan radio.img, replaced it with the one inside the original non rooted RUU and flashed it onto my phone again. This time I could get signal and everything. So here's my question, if I were to get the Lollipop OTA update from Google, will it mess up my radios again? And if it does mess up my radios, what can I do to fix it back? And will it even let me install the new OTA update?
which is best?
I am using an international version of htc one m8 and i flashed the att radio 1.19 getting decent signal but wondering if the dev/att 1.16 radio would be a better option. I have s-off and superCID and i am using the LiquidSmooth ROM but other than that i don't know what to add that would help new to the ROM game but would like to achieve optimum signal with my phone. Also if it helps i am using an ATT sim card for my carrier and i am in the US if that helps best determine radio for the optimum signal strength then cool thanks for any help and comments, to my most likely silly question.
Trying to put a radio back on my phone and got to the part where i enter this command dd if=/storage/sdcard0/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 it comes up with this error 1|[email protected]_m8:/ $ dd if=/storage/sdcard0/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20

Dropbox 404
Hi I'm trying to download Radio for BS_US002, however it keeps giving me Dropbox404.
Could you please fix the link? Or it's just my problem?
The radio that gets flashed with graffixnyc's 2.12.1700.1 RUU is 1.14, but I've noticed a few people mentioned the latest as bring 1.21. My question is probably stupid, but who has used that RUU with a different radio then what it came with on the AT&T network ?

HTC One M8 WWE
Hi I have HTC One M8 WWE, base band 1.22.21331147a1.29g_20.67.4196.01_f, rooted device but I can't S-off and SuperCID, because firewater doesn't work and Sunshine can't hack my device. So I want to flash to Verizón GSM Radio, because it's support WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz and LTE 700/AWS. I need it for LTE in Peru.
What I can do?
Radio for TMobile on GPE
I rooted my AT&T HTC One M8 and installed GPE Lollipop. With AT&T radio I was getting 2G and 3G at my place, with GPE I lost all of that and I do not have any TMobile signal.
I am thinking about flashing the radio with a TMobile Radio ROM to get at least some signal back.
I am S-Off, Rooted, and I have GPE CID/MID, fastboot says the software version is Official (not tampered).
Anybody with any experience with this path? I have a Note 4 also and it sees 4G signal here. Note 4 has all the LTE bands supported and TMobile mostly uses band 12 (700MHz-A) here, along with Band 2 and 4.
What are my chances of getting the TMo signal back on HTC?
I see a bunch of questions but no answer but here's my go at it...
Can someone tell me which radio is for AT&T 4.4.3 and if it's safe to flash on 4.4.4?
Radios/WiFi Q's and Issues
Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. Just wanted to say, thanks a million times. The posts here have helped me through a lot of nasty situations with phones. Here is my current issue:
I have an ATT version M8 (please excuse if I don't know correct terminology for everything).
I am S-Off and rooted. I was running the latest ViperRom with no issues. WiFi and 4gLTE worked, though LTE was spotty. I just rooted to the latest SkyDragon 5.0 release however and now I have lost WiFi and LTE (just shows 4g).
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to correct this issue? I have unlimited data but I would still like the best LTE signal possible and the option to use WiFi.
Thank you all, in advance.

Did you do a wipe of user data before switching ROMs, or did you "dirty flash"?
I'm running Dev Edition 4.16.1540 firmware, and the SkyDragon Sense 7 ROM, and its running flawlessly on AT&T.

I did the full wipe. I think most of my issues come from the fact I am starting on an ATT phone and loading it with TMo software. I read some posts about just downloading new radios, but I am not sure if that would work. It may fix my LTE but wouldn't effect my WiFi issues I wouldn't think.
For the record, before this, I settled on the Venom rom because it was the only one that worked with both WiFi and LTE. I can't track down why that is though.

What firmware are you on as far as I know tesltra air is just an app to automatically connect to free wi-fi on Telstra networks.
Are the phones network locked ie: can you put in another Sim from a different carrier like Optus or Vodafone.
What have you actually tried to do
what about this ?
G960FXXU2CSC8
(search on google and download it via sammobile , there is no bloatware and you can get the updates without a problem (with that one most of the time y get the security patch faster but you may loose some features)
or that G960FXXS3CSD2 it may take a few days more to get the update (based on my usage)
