[Q] Question about GPS and RIL - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using the new Oxygen JB 4.2.2 rom based on CM10.1 My problem is that I can't get GPS working. Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix that. Also will flashing the matching RIL for the RADIO I am using is that recommended on a CM 10.1 rom or not? Will it do any harm if I do flash the matching RIL?

2.2.0018G works fine here on SCI MIUI with that radio, 2.2.1003G worked alright as well on BlackIce (seemed to drain a little more but I was changing a lot of settings at the time so odds are it wasn't anything to do with the RIL at all).
I never bother changing the RIL from whatever comes with the ROM if I'm on an AOSP base; seems to be largely a waste of time. Unless there's some terrible problem after you flash a new radio which could only possibly be solved by using a different set of interface layer files, just leave them be.

[Q] RIL Confusion

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.

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

@o4kareg, GetRIL reports matching baseband/RIL for me with 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M and the corresponding RIL

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.

[Q] JB 4.2.1

Accelerometer, Orientation Sensor and GPS these things are not working on Jellybean ROMs in my Desire HD. I have searched for it and found a solution Flashing JB ROM after flashing a Stock ROM but it doesn't work for me and is it a radio problem ? and its working fine with ViperDHD 1.2.3, Is any one working on those fix ? and i found it all because of Firmware incompatibility. and Tried this putting my DHD in Fastboot mode and Erase "Userdata"
Erase "system"
Erase "Cache"
and reflashed Unofficial AOKP but still they are not working. Any other ideas to make it work. any help regarding this will appreciated like radio recommendation, ROM recommendation..
Thanks in advance.

I use 4.2.1 CyanogenMod 10.1 M-Series by Mustaavalkosta and everything works. I recommend.
I think it is more stable than the Cyanogenmod 10.1 by PipelinerArd.
Did you flash a RUU like this thread states:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970972?
Trying
i have flashed the stock ROM but not as per the thread, trying it now.

[Q] Can I flash a newer radio on an older version of JB?

I found the radio included in 4.2.1 worked the best for me, but the OS itself was slow and buggy. Can I flash the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 radios on my otherwise stock Gnex running 4.1.2 without issue??
Should be OK, so long as you have the right RIL as well

How can I check if I have the right one? Is that part of the OS included in the radio.img or is it part of the system???
It's part of the system. Basically, once you've done it get GetRIL from the Play Store and see what it says or download the correct RIL from the RIL thread in Development

Are you sure to have a compatible firmware installed? Every CM i tried had working WiFi. I'd suggest CM11 mod called Mokee OS version 03/30 + using KhaN Kernel v. 1.9. If your phone isnt broken, WiFi will work.
