[Q] Sprint Signal is Horrible - What do I need to upgrade? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I noticed that in the last few weeks everytime I make a call the link is noisey. My friend said Sprint recently started adding LTE and the area and I needed to upgrade.
Question now is what is it I need to update? The baseband or the radio? I already did a PRL and PRI update.
I am running SOS+ Rom android version 2.3.5 baseband 2.15.00.09.01 PRI 1.77 PRL 60797.
Any advice would be appeciated

Baseband & radio are the same thing. If it's not up to date I would update it. You'll need to be S-off to update your firmware (radio).

Thanks Finz28, its been so long that I had forgotten. I should be S-OFF since I have a custom rom.
Looks like this is the latest Radio: 2.15.00.01.15

thanks!

That's the latest radio, yes.
As far as being S-off, you need to check. You don't have to be S-off to install a custom ROM, only rooted. Contrary to popular belief, root & S-off aren't the same.

[Q] Help! I can't get any 3G in Singapore after flashing my baseband!

Hi, any fellow Singaporean Desire owners here? I need your help!
While I was flashing my desire to froyo (Pinky's rom), I had also flashed my baseband to the latest one. Now, I can't access the 3G network. I still can make calls but I cannot get online! I feel so crippled! Is it due to the rom, or due to the baseband?
Here's the info of my phone:
android version: 2.2
baseband version: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
I appreciate your help for this n00b.
Thanks!
thomaspkc, i am also from singapore. just wanna ask, why did you flash your baseband? so far, i got no problems using 3g on my htc desire.
i am currently using Opendesire v3.0.5

Well Basili0, n00b mistake i guess. I thought that i will need, to flash the baseband since many of the roms recommended that update. Haha killed my 3g as a result. So what is your baseband version then. I have to find a way to downgrade it. Thanks for your speedy reply!
You can downgrade it easily by flashing another radio with a lower version number but you'll probably have to go back to a 2.1 rom.
After the whole day of looking for solutions, I have finally solved it! It seems that my APN was wiped when I flashed the rom. That's why Pinky released 0.7 to restore the APNs. Thanks guys!

You shouldn't take OTA updates aka the HTC Software update which is more or less a stock ROM and will mess with your root. You should only update PRL, and PRI, and radios and kernels.
thanks
So in my settings menu..i can only update the prl and the profile? leave the firmware and htc software parts alone...?

[Q] Does anyone know any ROM with the latest PRL/ Baseband version?

Im looking for a Rom with the latest PRL/Baseband vesion, if anyone has an idea, it will help a lot. Thanks
First off, are you rooted?
yeah,u have any idea of one?
Neither the PRL or the radio (baseband is the radio) are included in any rom. You can get the latest radio to flash in the radio thread in the development section and you update the PRL in settings/system updates/update prl in any Sense rom.
You can find the latest PRI and Radio files here.
