Flashing a custom (OS) rom doesn't change the radio.
Stock ROM packages (at least some, like the T-MoUSA WM6.5) include a radio-rom and this over-writes your existing radio-rom.

That was a fast reply thx. so as long as it is not a carrier's stock rom, no radio change?

No doubt somebody else can give a more definite answer than I can...but AFAIK that's typically the way it is. I've flashed custom ROMs by at least 6 different cooks and none of them have included radio-roms.

The handful of ROMs I've investigated are all the same, no radio included. IF there are any ROMs that have a specific radio included, I'm sure it would be clearly mentioned in the thread for that ROM.
Having the freedom to flash radios separately from the rest of the ROM is one of the many things that make the TP2 as wonderfully flexible as it is

Radio included or not ?

Hello a noob question for you guys.
I see some custom ROMS (if not every one) says that you have to have a certain radio version or newer.
then again I see stock ROMS often has a radio version in the file name.
Does that mean that the stock ROMS include the proper radio ? and that i dont need to find a radio seperately ?
thanks

Yes, stock roms such as this RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe include an associated radio also.
If you flash a custom rom from the stock rom, you will always have the default stock radio version (e.g. 32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11) installed unless you flash a newer radio rom yourself.
You will find that the selection of custom roms will be without radio versions, and the OP will normally provide links to the recommended radio versions that will work with that associated rom, for performance and functionality purposes.

thank you for helpfull info
another one for you
if i want to downgrade to stock sometime, wil the "old" version of the radio overwrite the newer one i might have installed with a custom ROM ?

If you flash back to a stock rom with the radio version included, then you will also have stock rom and radio installed. The rom image and radio image will be replaced to stock firmware.
You could even flash the stock radio rom individually, list of stock radio's here:

No problem bud

Quick question leading on from this...if you flash a new radio, does it delete all your apps and settings like when you flash a new rom, or do they survive?
Cheers.

No, the radio is written to a seperate part of the device, and does not interfere with the OS portion.

Which RIL should I install?

Hello folks,
Reading through this thread, I installed both Radio + RIL
Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M
Zip file md5: 53d9675cd8ca8c970a5f25bc39b3275c
Radio md5: 3ca0e9784c6fd610c0d95391f2bc9245
RIL_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M
Download: [Multiupload]
Zip file md5: 84d1a0bdd08ca1d55f37e2f94c9a70d3
My DHD went catatonic and for several hours it had everything but GSM (No Service, Baseband Unknown, all that). I flashed (without wiping) the Cyanogen again and GSM was restored.
Now, to my question:
At present, I have
Baseband = 26.13.04.19
RIL = 2.2.0018G
Since the matching 26.13.04.19 RIL in this thread didn't play nice, could someone verify/recommend:
1. Which RIL to use for best results
2. Which method for flashing to use
Thank you all

All of the RILs in that thread are for Sense ROMs and most likely won't work with cyanogenmod (if you're using a recent cm7 nightly there was a change made to allow HTC RILs but I haven't seen anyone confirm it as working here).
I never bothered changing RILs on cm7 anyway, I always just changed the radio and I never had any issues.
Edit: just noticed from your other post that you're using cm7.1 - in that case none of those RILs will work.

Thanks for the clear message - at this point, I am *astounded* at the battery performance of the new Radio. I guess except for the Radio, there is no need to push it with RIL in my case. I have NEVER before seen my DHD survive from 07:00 till 17:00 on a single charge. As at moment of writing, I have 89% battery remaining.
Thank you, XDA, thank you, CyanogenMod - you guys gave me my phone back!

Why?. Could you give details? Actrually Cyanogen´s ROMs use HTC RILs.

Are you sure that this *great* performances cames from the new radio?
Won´t it be motivated by the fact of reflashing a CM ROM again (thus cleaning your system)?

The experimental ability to use HM RILs was added in a cyanogen nightly build released later than the Release Candidate version of cm7.1 that he was using at the time of this post. Hence my original statement that they might work if he was using a later nightly, followed by the edit when I saw what he was actually using.

[Q] Radios - Included in ROMs or flash separately?

Hello all,
Just upgraded to a Verizon Galaxy Nexus from an Incredible yesterday. Was having a few connectivity issues, so wanted to try running some aftermarket ROMs/radios/etc before I pursued replacing the phone altogether.
I just flashed LiquidSmooth v1.3 (+extras), and was wondering if flashing a 4.0.4 ROM includes updated radios automatically (versus the stock VZW 4.0.2) or if I need to flash these separately from the ROM? I never had any issues with my DInc radios, so never messed with it and thus have no experience.
Is the radio called the "Baseband" in the phone info screen? I feel like it was actually called "radio" on my DInc, so I'm a bit confused. If so, my version is I515.10V.EK05/I515.EK02.
Thanks for any info!

I have a GSM Nexus but i think its the same. Usually roms doesnt have radio when flashed. But u can flash any radio after flashing the rom.
Radio = Baseband. The newest its LC1 (L=2012, C=March)
Im writing this post cause i havent 10. Im new in this forum but not in development Knowledge, and i consider its a stupid rule. Im sorry if i write any Irrelevant post.

Thanks, I will look for a new radio to accompany this ROM.

[Q] Basebands? [A] Got 'em right here!

OK. I have the US e980. All the ROMs say something along the lines of flash your correct modem/baseband.
Here's my question... Where are the basebands? Do threads with basebands start with some keyword?

Problem solved!

APQ8064/MDM9x15M - This seems to be the newest one. It was on my E980 after the latest AT&T update, even though here it's listed for the Panamanian phone.

For some reason, this forum doesn't seem as organized as some other, maybe it's because this is all variants in one. But anyways try this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272177
I also wonder why roms for this phone even write radio partition. Usually flashing roms don't touch your radios. .

I would imagine if you flashed a Rom meant for one variant onto another, you would need that radio. And of course if you flash back to stock you're gonna need your original radio back. But you're right Optimusv. This forum seems so cluttered. I have about 10 links saved just for files and processes for this phone. Someone please give us an all-in-one stop link.....lol

Does anyone have a flashable APQ8064/MDM9x15M Modem? Or am I going to have to revert to stock to get it back?

Found it! I'll edit the OP for people who find this by search and such.
