Are you asking for a ROM or a RADIO?
Actually, either way, it doesn't matter. You'll have to find the best combination for yourself. Different phones react differently to radios. Same with ROM's.
So yeah, trial and error, rinse and repeat.

Yes but I can flash all the radio (for desire z i mean) or there are radios that work only in specific phones related with specific areas?

No. All Radios you see on the RADIO thread are fully compatible for each and every DZ/G2. So flash away, test radio for 4-5 days minimum and see what works for you.
Like I said, it's different for everyone.

I think the latest version of radio would help. It really depends on the place the towers.

I have a Bell Desire Z unlocked that I use on AT&T. I am running CM7. I notice data drops. I will have full bars on 3G, then will drop down to EDGE for a few minutes, then back to 3G.
Any help?
This is pretty typical... a good number of users, me included had this issue and some still do! It reminds me of the Nexus one issue with data.. nothing you can do but try flashing a different radio =\... notice how the Desire z/G2 looks like a nexus but with a kb? also one thing you could do is force the device to use 3G network only.
take a look at this thread i answered earlier on forcing edge/3G.

When I had my G2 I used this Radio "Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17" do you have S-OFF and SIM UNLOCKED? by gfree? if so.. use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
btw you can also try the latest leaked radio which is "Vision_RADIO_12.50.60.24_26.08.04.16"
I am rooted/s-off etc. If I were to flash the new leaked radio, would I be able to go back down? And it works with CM7? Sorry for the noob questions

yeah you sure would be able to go back down to a different radio since you have s-off, etc! go ahead and try it and hopefully it all works good for you
Flashed the leak. So far so good. No drops, staying steady at 4 bars.

Hi guys! I'm wondering which is the best Radio ROM for my DZ. Currently I have the GPS problem, and Cell Standby is sucking a lot of my battery juice. Any advice? Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
Hey,
this is a question that has been debated over and over, to make it short though: There is no common consensus on the best radio. Usually the golden rule if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it should be applied.
As far as you're issues with gps and battery life go, with the given information it's really not possible to say, whether your phone's radio is actually at fault or if it's something else.
I'm currently using the radio that came with the official gingerbread ota for the desire z (12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M), it's been pretty good to me on all the roms I have tried since then.
Hmm ok.. I was hoping for some advise, maybe recommendations.. But thanks anyway

What do you want? Someone to hold your hand? Not trying to be a prick, but there is no easy answer. Just try flashing a new radio... maybe the latest release to start with. Using the PC10IMG method with the bootloader is very easy and actually pretty safe if you follow instructions. Try some out... if they don't work, you can always flash another one. Radios seem to be kind of random in how they work with peoples' phones.

Your best bet is to read peoples reviews in the radio thread and cross-reference their location/carrier with yours. There are many factorys (G2/DZ, location, carrier, etc.) that come into play so, a radio that I say is great may suck for you.

I dont know about the best one but the one I'm on currently is good enough. I'm on Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 currently with its matching RIL right now, Working about right with no problems whatsoever.
I was previously on Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M and was experiencing some weak signal problems. Haven't tried the recent one though.. I'll try that and let you know.

Agreed. Its totally dependent on your suitability.
Whatever radio you do decide to use.. I'd strongly suggest you flash the corresponding RIL as well.
Ok thanx for the input,I have flashed 3 older versions of radios since yesterday flashing process goes ok but phone gets into reboot loop after that ,only radios compatible are the latest and the 26_13_04_19..

There is no better radio, just different. Download a couple of the later ones in the radio thread and try them out. What works for some doesn't work for others.
Oh, they change with roms? Didn't know that.. Relative noob. Lol How do I download and install them, like a ROM?

In the development section there is a thread dedicated entirely to Radios. I'd suggest looking there.
I also had a problem with my WIFI on Desire Z. Only when I flashed a new radio it got fixed significantly.
Yep all you can really do is try a few different radios, the latest version is not always the best. Each radio may perform better or worse than the others in your specific part of your carrier's network.
The thread which has all the radios as PC10IMG files is great, makes it pretty simple to flash a new radio. Make sure to delete the PC10IMG file from your SD card after flashing, otherwise it will want to flash it again everytime you try to access the bootloader.
Thanks guys, as usual, very helpful!

Just to clarify, ROMs don't change your radio. They are independent.

I have a G2 with desire z hboot and running genY visionX B5 i was thinking of upadating my radio=26.02.01.15_M2 first of all i want to know the benefit of doing this and the best one to flash i was told it helps in battery life and communication enhancement ..............pls.........help...........:good:
I REALLY NEED HELP PLSSSSS :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
There are too many factors to tell you what radio will work best for you, depending on your location, who you use your phone, what ROM/modifications you use
having said this many find the latest T-Mobile radio the best (.19) of course I promise you nothing but for me it gives great battery life and reception.
There is a thread in the developers section with links to every radio for the vision, try a few out for a few days at a time and see what works best for you. There will also be a link and explanations of the benefits to matching some libs. Edkeys also has a thread on this as well, I suggest reading up a bit and running a few tests by yourself

changing radios in itself or having a different radio won't damage the phone, it is possible to brick your phone anytime you tamper with firmware, but unlikely so long as you read up and know what you are doing.
not by a computer so I won't send links but the search function works well, just search the dev section

well that's not always the case, sometimes gps will lock immediately still. its a good idea to wipe efs though, if you read through that thread and the other threads linked from it there will be all the explanations you need. but again flashing any one radio will not guarantee better reception, gps lock, or battery life, just most people find the .19 radio does

yeeeessss just flashed it every thing isss feelingggg kinda slow but the gps works great pin point me good but am still worried if i have to wipe
cos its slow now i have the wipe file ready which will wipe only the said partition shud i do it cos i hate "slow"
changing radios shouldn't slow down a rom, wipping efs won't speed up a rom
