Ok here is my question to you from Big W.
I got a Telstra Nexus build yakjudv, not updated by Google. Waiting for 4.0.2 now. If I flash yakju to my phone I assume I will get a different radio and no OTA updates for my radio? I have heard the radio is a lot better then the standard for the Telstra network.
Apart from the radio does anyone know what the differences with the build is? Also any one know time lines for updates after the actual Google OTA.
You can flash the Telstra TDVKK6 radio back on there if you like.
See which one gives you better results.

Hello,
Im new to the community as I just got my first android phone a few days ago. I have just a few quick questions:
First is GSM the same as hspa? all the roms seem to say GSM, but I am on the new to canada HSPA network, with a sim card.
I have rooted my phone using this guide "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581981" and am wondering if this can be undone if I need it to be? or is there a rom that is the same as the original floating around? i'm only asking because since rooting with this method it seems that I've lost battery life, I'm going to try some other roms, but that takes me to my first question.
As well are there any Roms that are just HTC releases for Android 2.0, 2.0.1, or 2.1 that are not modified anywhere.
Last question, I originally had radio: 63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08.20 whats the differences between the radios.
Thanks in advance,
AZ
Im also on Telus using a Telus branded Hero. Try using the IU radio if you are not on the stock radio anymore. As for rom, try MCR 3.1. Its fast!!
my two cents
JU is newer, and i believe it's required to run the eclair/flan builds, and seems just as stable as IU in the cupcake builds.
@AbsoluteZero:
GSM is the same as HSPA, yes.
And yes, you can undo the rooting procedure by installing an official update from your carrier. However, Telus doesn't have any updates available yet, as they've only had the phone for a couple months. There may be custom way to undo the rooting without your carrier's ROM, but if I were to unroot I think I would just wait for the official Telus update. Once you're on an updated radio, Modoco's ROM is great. There are threads in some of the other Hero forums about the Telus Hero, lots of questions are answered there if you have any problems with your rooted phone.
As far as battery life is concerned, I recommend putting the Modaco 3.0 ROM on your phone, it'll probably help. It's good for me on 2.9.

I also have an unlocked Telus branded Hero which I am using on Rogers. I am using radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 with no problems. EDGE/3G/and HSPA all work. Also WiFi and BlueTooth work great.
I'm not sure if the Hero has all the HSPA bands that Rogers has, but in urban areas I have no signal issues. I have been using this radio w/MoDaCo 3.0 for over a month now.
Is there a way I can tell if I am currently connected to a 850 tower or 1900 tower?
Hi all,
I'm just trying to get a feel for the how much of a boost the radio included with the "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe" rom will give me over the one included with the "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe" ROM - I flashed my Orange desire to this generic rom when I first obtained the phone.
Sincemy handset is an Orange debranded one, I believe can't accept the currently waiting OTA update without disabling Wi-Fi. I'ts also my understanding that flashing to the newer stock rom will update my radio and force me to unlock the phone.
I don't mind getting an unlock code (since I'll sell the phone on eventually) but I'd rather not bother unless it'll give me a decent performance boost.
Any other Pros/cons to upgrading the rom? (I hear some htc widgets are missing but memory is improved).
Thanks for any responses.
Hi,
Given I'm on a custom ROM (well, sort of custom!) I'm just wondering if anybody knows The latest version of the radio and ROM released for Vodafone Australia?
Depending on what the answer is, are there versions of custom ROMS and Radios available for download and installation which have this version? I have one the vanilla ROMS in my phone at the moment but if I can't get the match I'll settle for one of the least changed/radical ones. But of course I need the version numbers first!
Thanks,
Ian
Any ideas, anybody?
Anybody? I'll take full or partial replies from anybody!

Here is my situation:
I'm currently stationed in Europe, Poland to be specific. I use my Inc2 in GSM mode with a local carrier. After rooting and flashing CM7 for the first time, I noticed my reception getting significantly worse than before (And if not, it's pretty **** in the first place.)
I an attempt to remedy this, I flashed the newest .1111 radio from the Inc2 Development forums, unfortunately that not only didn't help - but resulted in a ~10db drop in my reception.
I figure that the "newest, bestest" radios (released by Verizon, correct?) are only there to improve reception within the United States, and a fellow like myself - looking to get the best possible reception within Europe - should start looking for an alternative.
I'm hoping somebody here will have had some experience with maximizing reception in Europe.

Custom Roms have different behaviors when it comes to GSM according to each Rom
try flashing another Rom , i suggest :
Andybones stock ( Based on the Latest OTA ) , it is not de-bloated , Note that latest OTA originally included the Radio you installed 1111
rmk sense ( the first release from Verizon ) and it is de-bloated
Both of the above Roms are Original Rooted firmware
do a super wipe before installing the Rom
choose GSM Only mode ( not the global mode )
if signal don't improve try
adding your carrier APN through APN settings manually
or you can Backup the APN's included in CM using APN Backup and restore from the market and restore them for one of the above roms , then use APN manager to activate your APN
Please note that this will override Verizon Global embedded GSM APN , Don't try this before trying the Roms with Verizon Global embedded GSM first and see the results
Hi all,
I know this is a bit of a long shot, but here goes: Vodafone here in Australia has apparently FINALLY pushed an update to Jelly Bean to Galaxy Nexus devices. I'd be very interested to try out the radio that comes with this update.
Any Australian Vodafone users out there who are still on their original stock, or who have been on stock but received the OTA update who'd be prepared to either help me out with a nandroid image or a radio dump? Happy to provide instructions / talk it through if anyone can do this.
What build are the Australian GNex's? Or did Vodafone have their own build (therefore negating the whole point of the Nexus range)?
Can't be yakju in that case as they'd have the update already...

yakjudv (which is an australian build that doesn't get updates from Google)
(bump)
I'm going to guess people got fed up and changed to yakju a while ago!

Myself included... But I'm hoping that someone might have had the presence of mind to take a nandroid first. I just flashed stock yakju 4.0.4 over my phone back before I knew what nandroids were or how to make them, on the incorrect assumption that I could reflash a stock Google build if I wanted to revert.
