Is possible to flash a gingerbread radio on a ICS rom?

Title says all, i noticed bad signal with latest 3.32 firmware and i remeber was very good in GB ( i got the right RIL )
Is possible to flash a Gb radio in ICS rom? thanks

Try it - should work but depends on the lib files I guess

I thought I'd try. On 3.24 base (HB 1.27.1100) and I flashed 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 via the PG58IMG.zip as I couldn't be arsed to get a cable and fire up adb...
I managed to call myself and got my voicemail ;-)) So it looks like the answer is yes.
WIFI seems to work.
Mobile Data worked, only got EDGE but that might just be where I am.
I'll leave it on this version and see how the battery works out. Then probably swap back to the 3.24 base radio tomorrow.
NOTE: I didn't bother changing RIL and it worked straight off. Hmm wonder if that's related to the EDGE connection.
EDIT1: Applied the 10.58 RIL and nada, then noticed a post about some files that get flashed that might cause an issue. So I applied the 11.69 RIL and it was on H then dropped to E, switched mobile off and on and nada. Hmm rebooted and it locked in to H. I think it's my current location that's the issue with Mobile Data. Just tried Speed Test on WIFI it reported 12.5 Mbps download.
So in Summary it seems to work but can't confirm definitively.

T Mobile UK users - delayed texts/missed calls - Which rom/software base?

Howdy all,
Long time lurker, first time poster, unable to post direct to the development forum so I thought I had best start here.
So to cut a long story short, I suffer from delayed texts and missed calls, after no end of problems trying to get T Mobile and HTC to sort it out, I decided to S/off the phone and try some different roms, each one however incurs the same problem.
So I have tried the SAGA roms, Endymion 3.4 rom, Reaper rom, and even the latest pre rooted stock rom 2.10.401.9, all experience the same problems. I have yet to try the original 1.28 original rom, as It would mean having to S/on, but I have read other reports that suggest this too doesn't work.
So come on T-mobile UK users, what rom/software base do you use without delayed texts/missed calls.
Of course I could just set the preferred network mode to GSM only, this solves the problem, but obviously gives a slower network connection.
Any help, thanks ?

T-mobile UK user, don't experience the issues as described by you, did slightly back in the earlier days of the 1.47 base (thankfully that has long gone)
You can see my full details in my signature....I'm guessing that we're using different Radios?! so possibly worth upgrading and testing my version out, if you're on the same then I don't know what to say....
Where abouts in the UK are you? I'm in East/SE England, do you have decent mobile strength where you live? by your GSM comment I suspect that your 3G signal is weak and therefore your often in and out of signal which may be the cause of the issues?

Hi Ben,
Live in Leeds and have no problem with signal strength, have tried the Endymion rom but I was definately suffering fron long text delays.
I am no longer on it and I didn't make a note of the Kernel/Radio, are you using the ones included with the rom or have you changed anything?

The Endymion ROM wouldn't have changed your Radio. Kernel would have Endymion its default on that ROM.
I upgraded to this Radio intentionally, not related to ROMs
So which radio do you have currently installed? Settings->About Phone->Software->Base etc....and note baseband version

Interesting.
Checked and I am on 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03, which the development forum suggests is taken from the 1.47.401.4 RUU, which of course was the main problem.
Could this be what is going wrong??? Does the radio not change with each rom update?
If I want to change radio do I juest follow the guidance at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178001(20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 and will and radio work with any rom, if it does I will definately go back to Endymion.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

when you flash custom ROMs they rarely in fact hardly ever contain Radios although stock ROMs (RUUs) often contain radios.
I believe that the radio version in my signature has a link to the new radio along with valid installation instructions.
I suggest that you change.
But ensure that you check the download before installing as suggested in the instructions with the md5 sum and don't hurry the process.
You can't backup radio version only reapply previous versions.

Nice one.
Radio updated, fingers crossed no more delayed texts.
Thanks again.

must say i've never had this issue, i take it you have signal right? or is it delayed because there is low quality signal? also are you using 3rd party apps for messaging and calls like go dialer etc? i have DS rooted currently on reaper 2.2.2 no problems and best signal quality i've ever had, as the problem persists through rooted or unrooted roms it sounds like a problem with your hardware/set up in other words t-mobile are at fault, i'd unroot and then go talk to them or phone them but we all know how bad they are at answering calls and helping

Can I ask? What's the best radio to use and why flash radios? I'm on 20.28i.30.085au_3805.06.02.03_m

It is dependant on where you live, which network and which ROM you're on.
But you can see from my signature what I use and I live in the UK on T-mobile and again my Radio is displayed in my signature.
You can only flash Radios if your S-OFF though

The radio governs your Wifi, BT, Mobile Data and Voice Calls
A rule of thumb is to only change you radio if you are experiencing problems? like dropped calls, delayed texts etc as described by the user above.
I've been on this radio for months without issue and would recommend it.
You could always note your current radio version and then switch, you'll find all the radios in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178001 along with instrcutions on how to change version.

The OP of that thread is old school and simply uses adb to copy the radio file from his PC to his devices SD card, you could easily mount the SD card and then copy it using windows file manager.
just ensure that you verify the md5 sum of the radio on your device before you flash it.
which as you say can be done through bootloader (do ensure that settings->power->fastboot is off) and once the radio has been applied you move the file from the root of your sd.

I know someone on T Mobile with the exact problem. She's had it for ages and even after sending it off for "repair" to T Mobile, it came back with the exact same problem. The build number came back exactly the same. The 1.47 version.
T Mobile are a joke.

thats the problem the 1.47 build, simply move off of it!
if you're on 1.47 you can use revolutionary to become S-OFF then the whole development forum is your oyster

Asking help for fellows Brazilians or others Latin Americans users[Baseband and v21e]

Hello all
I was wondering if there is someone that has suceeded in flashing a v21e firmware without getting signal problems here in Brazil.
I am able to flash v21e KDZ and the respective baseband, but I never get signal what is kinda disappointing.
My question is, here in Brazil or other countries with the same baseband we will be stuck on v20a firmwares and v21d? Is there a way to flash v21e firmware without having problems with signal or, in other words, have the phone functionability working?
If someone knows how, please tell me. Thanks

another thing i was wondering if there is a problem with models and v21e
As you know here in Brazil the Optimus 3D model is P920H which is not kind the same as P920 (whole Europe I guess) or P925 (US).
Is because of that i'm facing those problems (no signal) trying to upgrade software version to v21e?

im from venezuela n i flashed v21e... everything seemed to be working right but i noticed that i had signal loss and ghost calls so i went back to v21d and im using cm7 now... still got signal loss but i cant find a better rom atm...
btw i own a p925 latest cm7 nightly

I live in São Paulo and flashed V21E kdz. It always worked on all networks of my TIM subscription (phone, 2G, 3G, SMS). Haven't tried video call yet. Also, wi-fi and bluetooth works well. Soon after this I installed Promethius ROM and kernel and have been using them. This week I travalled to outher cities and noticed that the phone never realized it was on roaming. It kept data connection available even with the option to allow data connection on roaming disabled.

I live in Porto Alegre and had no luck flashing v21e kdz as I said. My carrier is VIVO. I've seen on another post (can't remember wich one to be honest) that someone said that here in Brazil v21e wasn't supposed to get signal at all, but this guy was using it.
As far as I know that could be an kernel issue also, sometimes flashing different kernels could restore signal but i hadn't that luck. I've been using smartflash method to flash v21e baseband (with bin convertor and stuff) because I tought it was a simplier and most effective way to do it (without getting any errors or having to solder a cable properly). Tonight I'll try using Lg Flash Tool like most of ppl to see what happens.
Just wanted to use Acura 3D MAX rom or Prometheus Project... But since i'm stucked with 21d (which i'm using atm) or 20a (original), i'm running ThiaZO3D 2.7 which is awesome but not kind what I was looking for.

Have u tried to flash another versions?

I had installed a V21e (German) without problem.
None problem with 3G and GSM.

Hmm guys look what I found out.
I`ve tried to install Acura 3D MAX 3 ROM, and guess what? No signal again...
So I was almost giving it up because my baseband was on v21e so I didn`t know what to do.
Then I`ve tried to change the kernel.
I installed bluekernel and it worked just fine...
Why did this happen? Ideas?
Thanks

Hello perna84,
I remember that post, that's why I took more than a month to try v21e. But I soon noticed that in my case it was not true. I flashed the whole kdz using that "marwin" LG application, using the small html server to trick the LG application tool to not update itself. Couldn't find the thread again, but if you need I can try a little harder later. I always used the original usb cable, not a modified one. Never encountered any error message. The original v21e ROM worked fine for the couple of minutes I left it until I flashed custom ROMs.
I tried Promethius ROM and kernel in several versions, but I noticed it to be quite unstable: occasional boots, wi-fi and bluetooth freezes and so on.
Then I tried Acura ROM. Almost perfect but google+ application doesn't work. Other users report other apps not working also.
Now I'm using ThiaiZ v2.8 and, do far, it seems perfect. No misbehaving until now.

Changelog bere : small changes , increase battery life and more fluid system.

Are there any bugs present or observed? Is 3G working well even if it's not your region? LQ1 works fine even if it's not my region. Thanks again.

Installed this one with Odin. Just one question the baseband still shows as P6200XXLQ1 even though Kernel is 3.0.15-P6200LQ2 and Build Number is IMM76D.XXLQ2.
Is it normal for Baseband version to still show P6200XXLQ1 or have I made an error somewhere?

I decided to flash the Philippines(SUN)(August) because it's my region and it's newer than the Open Austria firmware(July). I have to say it has better battery life. Performance wise, it got a little better based from the quadrant scores I took. Higher overall scores than LQ1 and system feels a bit more faster. Although one time, System UI forced closed for no apparent reason and it lagged so much before that but it's gone now. I have no idea what caused that.

Does your Baseband Version still show P6200XXLQ1 ?

Problems with 3G
Installed this ROM a few days ago. Everything worked well except 3G. Voice calls and SMS also worked. After a failed automatic configuration of the APN, I set it manually but without success.
So, I downgraded it to the original HC 3.2. and wait the official update for my region (Romania).

Works Fine
Everything works absolutely fine.. including 3g..
i dont notice any difference from the previous version in terms of performance or battery life. im talking about real world experience, not benchmark wise.
ENJOY..
It doesnt seem to be a MUST UPGRADE.
Hope it helps..

hey pal, after the update, is your tab still unlocked? just curious because it's a carrier tailored version. i want to upgrade my open austria to globe's firmware, too.
oh, and if it doesn't have a carrier (in parentheses) beside the Country/Carrier, that would mean that it's unlocked, yes?
oh, and after this update, if you're int he philippines, will kies work? i bought my unit in HK, so i'm curious if it's because of the austrian rom that i'm getting an error from kies saying that my device does not support upgrading via kies. is it in order for me to upgrade via kies, i need to install the HK version again?
Now, that's a lot of questions. Sorry and thank you so much for the answers!

oh, and if it doesn't have a carrier (in parentheses) beside the Country/Carrier, that would mean that it's unlocked, yes?
oh, and after this update, if you're int he philippines, will kies work? i bought my unit in HK, so i'm curious if it's because of the austrian rom that i'm getting an error from kies saying that my device does not support upgrading via kies. is it in order for me to upgrade via kies, i need to install the HK version again?
Now, that's a lot of questions. Sorry and thank you so much for the answers!

It is still unlocked. Do note that I'm using the SUN version, I think using Globe's or Smart's firmware will lock it, not sure. I am a SUN user but I tried a Smart Sim and it worked fine.
I did not see a Philippine ICS firmware without a carrier name on sammy.
Kies works here in the Philippines. It says it is the latest firmware.

JB reception problem

Since I updated last week to the new JB firmware I'm having issues with cell reception. Basically I have no reception anywhere anymore. Is this aan known issue and/or is it fixable?
Wifi / bluetooth works fine.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed custom recovery and viper S ROM and still no reception. Apparently my problem is not software related. However, it can't have been more than a day after I updated tot JB stock when it started.
Could it be the hardware? I do think I dropped my phone around christmas...
should I send it in for repair? And if I do should I first go back to stock and relock bootloader?

I think you need to change your radio. As far as Im aware, JB comes with an updated radio. Installing a custom ROM does not change the radio.

Ok tnx, can you point to me to a guide for changing the radio? Never done that before. And I think I would like to have the one that comes with stock 4.04 with which I had excellent reception. Where do I get that one?
Thanks again!
