I have the stock HTC Wildfire ROM with Baseband Radio, after many tries of flashing roms (Stock, Custom...etc), the performance of radio some how got effected by dropping calls many times and other GSM and 3G issues.
The question now, can I install the baseband radio without losing S-OFF, Root, ROM or other apps, patches?
If possible, how any walk-through to do for Wildfire with CWM and Cyanogenmod 7.2?
Thanks!
U can flash the radio without loosing root!
If u want to flash the radio. Then the first thing to do is download the latest one. .....20.10 i belief. Put it on the root of your sdcard.
Then you need to boot in recovery 2.5.x by rommanager and execute the radio zip. Wait a few moments and your radio is flashed.
That will flash the radio. There is a risk for flashing the radio!!!!! and u cant solve it by a nandroid.
If it is not the radio, then i dont know what is wrong...

hi, i have just rooted my desire and flased to Leedriod 2.2f rom. May i know wt is radio? wt's the diff between the latest one? I am a hk user, can I also flash into the latest radio? and how to flash the new radio? Will the data in the phone be erased?
You can find your radio version in software settings, it's the "baseband".
There isn't a changelog for radios as their performance differs for various reasons.
A given radio isn't limited to a certain carrier or rom.
You should flash it like you flash custom roms (don't pull the battery in the process, let it reboot a few times).
And finally, it will not erase any data.
is it i no need to care whether the radio is for europe or Asian? I can flash to the any radio version as I like?
Yes.

Choose radio from here.
What's the best radio for the T-Mobile G2? I've been using the .17 radio and have been getting mediocre wifi signal. Should I use the stock t-mobile G2 radio? Also I have the 82.0000 hboot but it doesn't say I have eng-off. Is there a way to get eng-off without using the stock hboot on the wiki?
Also what hboot do I need when flashing cm7?

Ive ran the 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 and now I'm on the 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 and to me it seems that the 26.04.02.17 radio is working better for me, about the same with wifi but a little better signal improvement with data over the network. I'm in the Los Angeles CA. area.
Also I have the 82.0000 hboot but it doesn't say I have eng-off. Is there a way to get eng-off without using the stock hboot on the wiki?

The only available ENG Hboot is the one on the XDA Wiki right now. I have the stock ENG. Hboot 0.76.2000 from the Wiki and have no issues with it, I'm able to flash everything that available for the G2, no problems.
Also what hboot do I need when flashing cm7?

You can use any hboot now for CM7 since rom manager released the official CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, it now supports both 2.2 and 2.3 roms. Even before this there were ways to flash the new recovery without the ENG. Hboot. and get Cm7 but now its, pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the quick and clear reply. I already flashed CM7 but with the 82 hboot and I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything properly. As for the radio, I'm gonna update to the new radio 12.28h.60.14 0f_26.06.02.27_M_ and get a new router, still using linksys wrt54g lol.
Also, when flashing new roms, for example CM roms, do they flash the radio? I think some do but im not sure.
Roms never flash a new radio.

Ours don't - only because the dev's don't feel the need to put it in there (no point). Other phones do it though, mostly when a stock upgrade is released (2.1 to 2.2 for instance) and there is also a radio update with it. It's literally a one line script you put in the update_script in order to flash a new radio.
I bought a DHD that already has S-OFF and currently using Android Revolution HD/4G 2.1.
I want to update to the latest Android Revolution HD (5.1.10) and just want to confirm some things...
It is recommended to flash Radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and I am currently using 26.03.02.26_M. Is it a must to update the Radio? and will I also need to update the Kernel?
No, it's not a must to update the radio. It's only recommended. You can flash whatever radio you desire. And no. A kernel is included in the rom but if you like to flash a new kernel you can do that.

Anyway, although is a risky process, doing it through fastboot is not very difficult to do. I don't know how it goes with another radio since I updated mine to install ARHD.
Thanks guys. got it all working good now.
The newest ARHD always includes new radio.

are you 100% on this? I was sure radio had normally to be flashed via fastboot not through clockwork, respect to the developers if they do go to the trouble of integrating the flash of the radio into the rom though
I can confirm that ARHD does not include a new radio, just RILs for the recommended radio.

Dev says to flash radio they feels better for their ROM.
I've installed AR 5.1.10 and flash new radio....
it's really easy...really....just extract downloaded file and read the guide inside! (3steps...)
Hi,
I have rooted my wildfire and installed some roms.. now with my current animos-sense rom i couldnot get my network signal properly.
Can i backup the radio from my stock rom so that i will flash it afer installing custom rom?
If you are using a standard GSM HTC Wildfire, you can get the Radios from here, since they are common for all GSM Wildfire's across the globe.

No. Custom roms won't touch the radio and hboot.
Only stock roms (= RUU or OTA) will overwrite them.
Also you can update radio from recovery or from S-OFF hboot if needed.

Hi
I am considering to flash my desire to CM7.. but i need to upgrade my radio.. if it makes my phone crazy.. is it possible to downgrade my radio.. I have found out what radio my phone is currelty running.. besides du i need to run S-off.. in order to make it work
You can always downgrade a radio. If you are on stock hboot (which you are, because you are S-ON and so you could have flashed a different hboot), you can flash radio as zip via recovery.
