Hello,
This is a silly question but i have searched the entire forum+google and I didnt find an answer on this.
So 3 questions
I am considering to install the Virtuous v3.2.0 ROM and in the thread it says
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.

I am rooted, checked
NAND unlock = S-Off(?), checked
Radio 2.x??? How do I know what radio version I have?
My Baseband version is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
1) So is this my radio version? And if it is how i determine if it is 2.X?
Also I read the thread for updating a radio
I have rooted and S-OFF the phone with Easy Radio and S-Off tool. My question is:
2) It is ok to jump to Step 3?
3) And the version of the Radio that i will flash has anything to do with the current version? I mean to put 2.X i need to have 1.X?
Thank you for your time!

Edit: I've just re-read your post and you've linked to a Droid Incredible ROM but you're posting in the Desire HD forums... The DHD radios won't work on a Droid Incredible, and the Incredible ROMs won't work on a DHD. Ignore everything below unless you're on a DHD!
I assume by "2.x radio" they mean a radio from one of the Gingerbread 2.x bases. Go to the Radio Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295 and check the description against each radio.
For example your radio for your 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M it says "HTC WWE 1.32.405.6", so I would think you need to update your radio. A lot of people are using the radio from the official Gingerbread final release
28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
Regarding flashing the radio, I haven't read that thread in detail but it's for the Droid Incredible, and the method won't be the same for the DHD. There are better instructions in the radio thread I linked. Hope that helps.
Nice one my dear me
Sorry I totally didnt notice that that ROM was for another phone. Someone suggested it and I didnt check it...
Thanks for the information I will read the post...
Thanks again

Heh, no problem. The radio info is good then. You're on a very old radio, so if you want to try a custom ROM based on Gingerbread then it would still be a good idea to update it. Check the thread and also follow the link in it to the info about Radio RILs.
And there is a Virtuous "Unity" ROM for the DHD by the same team, the thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115312
Thanks, maybe that was the one that the guy suggested then
I will check the links. Respect
Oh another small question
Can I jump directly and install 28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
Or because my radio is so old I will have to make some intermediate updates?

You won't have to make any intermediate updates, but I'm not 100% sure how the Gingerbread radios (2.x) work on Froyo ROMs - might be worth asking in the thread. I know people are doing it the other way around, i.e. using older Froyo radios (1.x) on newer GB ROMs.
But if you're on a Froyo ROM and about to change to a Gingerbread one, most custom GB ROMs have the RIL files for the radio above included. In that case you're fine, and it doesn't matter whether you flash the ROM or the radio first.
Yeap its me again Sorry for the many questions but I read that flashing a radio is too risky and I do not want to attempt anything before I am 100% sure that I have the full picture...
In the thread that you gave me with the radios (and thank you for that) next to the radio version there is a provider
eg
25th February 2011: Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 - Orange UK 1.84.61.2 / CSL-HK CHT 1.84.832.2

Does it matter?
Also the author suggests to download this one

Hi again. Don't worry, this is the Q&A forum after all.
I guess in theory flashing anything is risky, but it's very difficult to "brick" a DHD (i.e. make it completely un-fixable). I've flashed radios dozens of times, searching for that elusive perfect one. And if anything should go wrong (unlikely), as long as you have a working bootloader you can restore just about anything else. Just take your time and follow instructions written specifically for the DHD, the best ones are generally found in these forums.
By the way, you need to have Eng S-OFF (engineering bootloader) to flash radios in the standard way, do you have that yet? If not, jkoljo's tool for that is the best way, it has loads of fail-safes built in to make sure it works correctly.
To answer your questions, you can ignore the provider name (e.g. Orange, Cingular) - that just means the radio was released specifically for that carrier, but it often works well with other networks. For example the best radio for me on Froyo was the Cingular one, but I'm on Vodafone in the UK.
It's hard to tell you the best radio, as it depends on your network, location, etc. - for example one radio might use more power, and use more battery in areas with good signal strength (e.g. cities), but it would work better in areas with a poor signal. This is why some people flash different radios to test them.
It can also depend on which ROM you're planning to use. Gingerbread ROMs are generally built to work with the 28th April official radio, so I would suggest starting with that if you're on a GB ROM.
By the way, the key bit of the radio name that identifies it is the part after the underscore character "_", so for the
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
radio you can refer to it as the "26.09.04.11_M2" radio.
If you're on a Froyo ROM, I would start off with the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio Drakknar recommends. If you're on a Gingerbread ROM, I would start with 26.09.04.11_M2. If it works fine, you're done. Unless you're like some of us, obsessively searching for something just slightly better.
Just don't forget that if you flash a radio other than the one recommended for the ROM, you should also flash the matching RIL file. The radio thread has a link to the RIL thread. The RIL for the ROM's recommended radio will already be included in it, though.
Anyone else reading this should feel free to jump if they have any differing advice!
I already have ENG S-OFF and I am using a Gingerbread ROM more specifically TRUE SENSE 3.0 - i00 ROM 5.5 (Since Android version that my device reports is 2.3.3)
But I have some issues with creating and renaming folders on the Home screen, and I cannot report it as bug because I do not have the required posts
Anyway Thanks again for the quick and detailed answer!

Ah, that ROM does recommend the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio, I see what you mean, I assume they have included the relevant RILs so I would start off with that one. It certainly performed very well for a lot of people, despite being an older radio.
Good luck with your homescreen bug.
I have One V S-off from vodaphone, am trying to install original stock eu rom but getting model id incorrect, after searching for that error could find the reason is the model id....my v model id is PK7613000, the stock rom is PK7610000
changing this in the rom.zip not helps (i changed that in android.info.txt), searching again could find mid is (maybe) stored in the mmcblk0, so pulled that , edited the PK7613000 to PK7610000, saved and tried to put again to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2 but am getting not enough spave (file is 2gb ) deleted all files there and tried again but same error not enough space...
any help
by the way editing the build.prop not help
am sure some members know about the sesation xe ota problem , i think we have same problem here

okay, every day someone learns a new thing
If it just wifi problem and your bootloader is unlocked, what you need is to fastboot flash the boot.img for 2.09.707.1. If you need the modules too, let me know, I'll make a flashable zip for that.
And 2.09.707.1 RUU is Asia WWE, not Asia SEA WWE.
Correct Lloir, thats my problem right now.

Kernel "modules" are part of the kernel and will be loaded from the kernel
for specific features e.g. device drivers.

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S and its very easy to install custom ROM's on it but.
A friend of mine has One X and wants 4.1/4.2 with sense
I rooted it but he has a weird CID, how important is the CID not to brick the device?
he has HBOOT 1.12 and from what i know he need a higher version for JB sense. The upgrade i read that is very risky.
Can someone who has patients tell me all the things i need to be carefull if i want, or if i can, to install ca custom ROM with sense+ so i wint brick it.
Before flaming me to search, i did but I'm not confident enough to do it and i cant brick anotherones phone.
Thank you

and find your answer whether your CID is compatible with JB roms or not? If your CID doesn't match with the list then you can't upgrade your HBOOT and please keep in mind that this is developer section please ask your queries in Q&A or general section from next time.
Thak you for the answer
Sorry for that, i don't use the forum for posting that much only for info. Please someone move it to the apropriate section.
The CID is not on the list, its H3G_004
So the only way I can upgrade to JB is to wait for official release?

Right at the top of THIS forum you posted in is a thread titled "[FAQ] - Frequently Asked Questions - [WIP]"
IN that thread is a section marked "I need a stock NANDROID backup for my CID, where can I find it?"
And the link it points you at tells you all about it! Because this is definitely a frequently asked question that a cursory search could have answered.

I found that, but the file I need is split in 5 parts hosted on nasty sites that would take me an year to download and also I don't like clockworkmod recovery, so I guess I will do it with the RUU instead, but thanks for pointing me there.
