[Q] Radio backup and flash

Hi,
I have recently flashed the Revolution HD 6.1.3. The forum recommends to flash the radio 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M.
I would like to backup my current radio, but I didn't find a way to do this. It is not possible using the Clockworkmod recovery, neither using other software.
My radio is 12.26b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M (stock). I searched the web and forum for this radio, but I only found the Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M - It changes from 26b to 28b and from "eU" to "e".
According to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295 , the version is the same, the difference is the protocol. What does this means? What is the difference between this radio and my stock radio? Is there any way to backup my current radio?
Thanks in advance.

You can't backup a radio. All available radios are in a thread at the dev section. Some radios have a slightly different name on some phones. But they are the same.

I bought my DHD on europe, but I am using it in Brazil. I know there are differences in frequencies of each carrier. All the radios implements the same frequencies? What changes from a radio with "eU" (12.26b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M) in the name from other named "e" (Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M), and the other without any letters (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M)?

I'm interested in this too, I also wan't to backup my current radio rom.

And where do all the radio roms come from if you can't create a dump?
But they are the same.

I really have doubts on this. I guess there must be differences between those versions as there are differences in the used frequencies. For example Europe uses 13 wifi channels and USA only 11. I've read posts saying that you can not use channel 13 anymore if you flashed one of these (us) roms.

Radio and kernel update related question

Hello all,
My desire has [email protected] #2 kernel. Since I've noticed that the perfomance has been decreased (lagging), should I flash another kernel?
Also, about the radio, where to look for the version? Is it the baseband version? (Which is: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) Which problems would indicate an update of radio?
Thank you for your time!

Your radio version is 5.11.05.27. The latest radio 5.17.05.23 available here link. I have yet to hear somebody solving his problems after flashing new radio. CM 7 recommends latest radio though. Flash with caution. Brick territory

The only bad thing that happens is that when I am talking to a friend, it starts with me stop hearing my friend and then the call will be ended..
I know it could be his problem, as well, but he says it's happening only with me. He has HTC Desire HD...we had flashed android revolution to his device..

if you flash a GSM radio for a GSM phone you wont brick it.
if you flash a CDMA radio on a GSM phone (or vice versa), you might

GetRil doesn't actually change the radio. It let's you download the RIL file that is most compatible with your existing radio.

Thanks am a noob knew it was good for checking baseband compatibility but only used to check mine as had baseband incompatibility issues with 4.2, was handy to check after reflash to make sure it was ok, still lots to learn so appreciate this kind of feedback. Will now do more research about ril files.
Am attempting to learn the basics of android programming coming from having zero computer literacy, wish me luck lol and thanks to xda and mskips for inspiring me to learn more.
Cant wait to get over the noob anxiety attack i get when flashing a new rom

1.Yes
2.get latest ROM and extract modem file from it. There is one thread also on XDA for modem, search it.
3.It won't brick, but there is no need to update unless you having any network issue. If you have issue with existing, find latest ROM from your country and get modem from that.

[Q] Upgrading radios

Just wondering, my radio for the most part works fine. Having some WiFi connectivity issues here and there (connection drops lots of packets after a while and it's better to revert to 3G) but that could be rom-based as it's a recent thing. Other issue is the phone takes far longer than my old N1 to pick up signal again after being underground (often have to switch on/off airplane mode) and this has been this way since day 1
In any case, they are minor issues, but I hear that updating radios can really unlock a lot of the phones data speed and battery potential.
So the question is how do I go about it? Is it just a matter of flashing the latest radio? Right now I have baseband XXLF1 (out of the box) and I've been looking at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34045210 as the latest version, how do I know if it's compatible with my particular device?
Moreover, all of these basebands seem to have CWM flash capability, what about TWRP?

You could have asked that question in that thread.. But latest European gsm radio is XXLH1, and yes, those zips should be compatible with twrp.

So will it work fine with my phone which is on AWS spectrum? I know Europe uses different frequencies. Sorry for the newbie question, I'm just nervous about bricking my phone.
Is it safe to flash a takju radio over a yakju device?
Also can't figure out what RIL is?

What carrier are you on?
It's not a newbie question, and I'm not sure it will work with AWS, but it should as it's just a subset of UMTS.
Yes, takju radios are the same as yakju radios
RIL = radio interface layer

As i own a gsm model, I didn't know for sure. But like I stated, AWS uses a subset of the UMTS bands, so it should work.

I'm on WIND mobile in Canada, same spectrum as T-mobile US. If the phone is already on XXLF1, is it safe to say it will be alright with XXLH1? Aren't they both for the same devices?
Moreover, if something goes wrong with the flash (incompatible model or so) is there any recourse?

Yes. Compare md5sums, flash the radio through fastboot, you should be fine.

Hi OP, if you purchased your unit in canada, it is a GSM version.
XXLH1 will work, it will work on WIND mobile for sure (I am on wind too
Also the zip files will work, all TWRP and CWM are basically the same, AFAIK, all flashable zip are compatible with TWRP and CWM.
If you are unsure about which radio to flash, i would simply suggest you to make a backup, and flash the original image from google, which contains the latest radio for your device.
All images can be obtained from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Go ahead and flash Takju/Yakju, it doesnt make any difference in canada as google wallet doesnt even work here. I am on Yakju, lol.
