Hello Guys, sorry for my silly question... i had purchased a Desire HD from a friend, and it is already rooted.. so i dont have any idea on how to Update my Radio.. i know how to flash ROMs through recovery(4ext),,, my Question is Flashing this Latest Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M is like Flashing a ROM?.. im now using Sabsa Prime V5.0 | 4.0.3 | Sense 4........thank you very much!
PS: How About the RIL? it is necessary to have that cause i've read that RIL doesn't need for ICS/JB even with or without Sense because it is already there..
and how about something happened not good? how do i get back to my old Radio (just like having Backup in ROMs)
Best Regards

U can get the radio from here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
The guide is here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
From what I understand after reading here and there, u don't need RIL for ICS as it is meant for Froyo or GB rom.
If by chance u changed the RIL, u need to wipe dalvik n cache then restart. If not possible then it's re-install with full wipe
Hope this helps.
BTW, would like to ask which radio is better as I'm also running the same ROM which is Sabsa Prime v5.0

woow! thank you! as ive seen for some of the users, they're also using the latest one Radio.. so thats what im gonna use too. thank you!
Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M working perfectly on my Sabsa Prime v5.0 | 4.0.3 | Sense 4
I think it also depends on which country we are at. Different country have different bandwidths. Like western hemisphere and asian countries are different bandwidths. I'm from Malaysia and would like to know which would seem better for here. Am currently using 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28M. But these 2 weeks will not have my phone due to sent for warranty for dead pixels.

Rom with no Bugs
rmk sense r1 is a rooted original firmware ( No Bugs at all ) ,
also it is debloated from all unnecessary bloatware and verizon stuff also as i remember ,
there is a patch includes all removed software if you need it back to the rom .
Also it can be patched with sense 3 patch . this is your best choice if you don't want to follow developers fixing bugs and patches every day
gingerbread 3.3.5 and 3.5
i assume 3.5 you mean Sense 3.5
there is one Rom only Sense 3.5 with GSM support and it has Bugs ( empty strings ) , and the developer move to a new Base , means that Rom's bug will not be fixed
any updates on this?
I have not tested it personally, but GSM should work on CyanogenMod.
I have personally tested GSM in CM7 7.1.0.1 and it does work just fine

Also you may not be able to access ##Phone codes EPST and such.
So if you need to manually enter some data provisioning settings you might want to keep a stock based ROM somewhere on your SD card like one of the others mentioned.
There is nothing like stepping off the plane and having to call the carrier only to hear "OK, lets dial ##778# + send" and with no data, access you have to run to an inet cafe or find a WiFi signal to download a ROM with that capability.
andybones has a real clean ROM.

Sorry to bump this post but I have just bought a SIM free DHD but its got an annoying T Mobile splash screen. I have heard of flashing ROMs but what's a Radio. There a sticky on flashing ROMs nd Radios? And would putting in a new ROM make my phone a good old HTC. Can I get a ROM with Gingerbread.

All custom roms will have a bug or two. There is no prefect rom and there never will be. IF you want a rom that just works stay stock. This is not a rom site it is a development site. Which means we like bugs cause then we can learn to fix them on our own.
Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit confused with RIL files and i would like to have some clarifications.
From what i am reading on sense roms needs to be flashed with RILs which i get. I currently have Radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M and i flash the Ril 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M when i'm using this ROM DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00. Ok, so for AOSP/AOKP/MIUI Roms i shouldn't need to install andy RILs correct? Just install the ROM and go, right? Also if i do want to try out Sabsa Prime v8.5 is there a new set of Rils that i need to use or do i use the Ril i was using before?
For people who have different brand phones other than HTC is there a Ril alternate that needs to be installed to match the radio or is it flash ROM and go?
Many thanks everyone. This have been stopping me from trialing out different Roms except for modified sense gingerbread roms like ARHD.

Only use RILs on ROMs that are both Sense and pre-ICS. For all other ROMs (like Sabsa Prime, which is ICS) you just flash the ROM and you're good.

Just to make it a little more understandable:
Every Rom needs a RIL;
But in many Custom Roms the Devs already build in the RILs;
The RIL must correspond with your Radio; if it doesnt, you will end up with no Reception;
See the quote below and the the related Thread for more detailed Information.
I just followed the discussion some days ago, cause I wanted to update My Desire HD to the latest Radio, and didn't wanted to brick my phone.
It's always better to understand why things behave like they do, instead of follow some instruction without being aware whats happening.
ShadowPony said:
I don't entirely agree with your statements.
EVERY ROM comes with a RIL. Period. No exception, otherwise the radio doesn't work.
For AOSP ROMs there is a RIL, but have not seen it apart from ROM.
With Sense everything gets weirder because HTC released a new RIL for almost any combination of Sense with OS (at least until ICS, where old RILs no longer function properly)
even with any sense ROM, you can only flash the baseband (radio), and if you have reception problems, then also go for the RIL
also, the latest radio with RIL is: 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M

Right!!
your Rom has the RIL included...
my DHD runs on radio 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M also without extra installing RIL...
cause it's included in my ROM by the Dev.

So if i don't want to update my radio what RIL should i use for my version? will the gingerbread Ril be used? and how about AOSP roms? I had be experiences updating the radio before. i've update radio + matching RIL and my phone cannot hold a call connection longer than 10mins.

Unless you have a GB Sense ROM, just use the RIL that came with the ROM.
Hi Everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
Over the last couple of months, I have tried virtually every ROM I can get my hands on for my DHD, and I always do a full wipe (format) of /system, /data, /cache, Dalvik, and .android_secure before install.
The only ICS ROM I can get working fully is Blackout, but it is Sense 3.6.
I have tried Viper, and *really* like it, but Bluetooth is broken (in 1.2.0, .1, .2, and .3)
That seems to be the case for me with Sense 4 ROMs (lite or full); if Bluetooth works, then WiFi is broken. If WiFi works, then Bluetooth is broken.
ROMs I've tried (latest):
Viper
Miui
Jellytime
ARHD
Blackout (S3.6, which is where I'm at b/c it works)
IceCold
IceSense
CosmicSandwich
Sabsa
codefireX
Kernels I've tried (various releases up to latest):
Beastmode
KangBang
Virtuous
So, I'd like to know if there is such a thing as a fully-working ICS/JB ROM with Sense 4? I cant seem to find one. W/o Bluetooth and WiFi, nothing can be considered a "daily driver", imo... especially w/o Bluetooth, if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
I'm baffled; all of those ROMs should have both BT and wifi fully working. What's your recovery and version?
EDIT: and what's your radio?

Same here, bluetooth is one of the few things that ALWAYS work (except for 4.2.1, but that's expected).
Are you wipping between flashes ?
Thanks for the replies, guys.
As I outlined above, yes, I am fully wiping b/t ROM installs - even restores - please see my method in first post.
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery (HBoot for booting) and have paid for ROM Manager, which entitles me to further updates to CWM than what is available on Play. I currently have 5.8.1.5 installed (CWM Touch).
The radio varies from ROM to ROM it seems, and I should have documented which version in each ROM, but right now, in Blackout, it is reporting 12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M. <--- That number stays consistent, afaik, but the first letter will change (U and T, iirc).
When I say that Bluetooth doesnt work, specifically what happens is that it either doesnt pair with any device, or if it does pair, no sound will be transmitted or the pairing will only last for a second, maybe two seconds at most.

The radio shouldn't be changing with each ROM unless you change it. But with that said, nothing seems out of the ordinary. You could try reflashing your radio manually? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

I dont know much about that, but with that said, I just re-flashed Viper 1.2.3 and my radio now reads:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M, which is different than it was above with Blackout.
I have not tried re-flashing my radio manually. I wouldnt know which one would give me a better chance of success...

Once I flash a new ROM, the kernel and the radio are the same I had or the new ROM comes with its own kernel and radio?
Thanks in advance
roms do not come with radios tho they do have their own kernels. Radios are region based not rom based so there is no rom specific radio just what works best in your area.

Thanks for the explanation. So, if I bought my mobile in Spain, the radio is different if I had bought, for example in France?
depends on how close they are to each other whether same service is used in Spain as in France or if they are totally two different service. I would Google the carrier you use then see what radio they shipped with. Even in the radio thread you may find an answer to which radio is good for you in the area your at.
