Why does all roms even dn4, a touchwhiz based custom rom not have radio available?
Is it possible to flash fm radio in ourselves?
Thanks

This is because the hardware doesn't support radio.
So, no ROM will ever give this, because you can't enable something that doesn't exist in hardware.
The N7100 has a Radio, The N7105 doesn't. I'll take LTE anyday.

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
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.
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

I use Sabsa Prime 8.5 on radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M without flashing any RIL. GPS and Phone works brilliant!

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.

Just wondering if someone knows the work required to get this to all LTE devices including our t889?
4.2 would probably pull me off teshxx's seriously solid 4.1.2
Madmack over the att Note 2 has a working cm10.1 4.2 for all lte variants. Unfortunately, the voice in call is not working atm. He and other devs are working together for a fix. So I would say soon we will have a working cm10.1 for our phone.

There's actually a guide in the international forum to flash any n7100 rom to a N7105 or Carrier version.

Yes any STOCK ROM. Unfortunately our radio chip is different then the 7100's. Our radio chips also uses different audio paths. We need to fix audio from the radio before we can have a daily driver. Madmack, codeninja, and a few others are working on that. AOSP != Samsung TouchWiz. The way the AOSP kernel talks to the ROM != the way stock kernels talk to ROMs.
Note: != means 'does not equal' for those who don't know.

I was referring to ROM or (kernal I think)?
I think he's refering to firmware. I have the stock one and everything is fine, but u can try Infamous too.
Im running the infamous ROM as it is the only custom one ATM I'm hoping some other ROMs get developed I don't want this to be a DOA tablet even though the features are not great and there is more of cosmetic change in this over actual power.
