So I've lurked here for a while reading many posts and whatnot, and have also updated to the latest JF release 1.5. Anyways, onto the question. After about 10 minutes of search button clicking, I've yet to find out how to flash the radio update I have to the phone. I've had a few complaints saying that i sound pretty bad while talking on the phone and I'm hoping this might fix it, but if not at least I'm at the latest radio version.
Here is what I recently got:
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
Can someone walk me through on how to flash this and to the phone? If i have to wipe so be it. or if there's a guide on this can someone post it cause the search function missed it =/

Rename the zip to "update", put it on the root of your SD card and apply it like you do with any other flash.
Ok, then do I have to reflash the JF1.5 after that?
EDIT: sorry for all the dumb questions, I'm still learning but very interested.
nope, that just flashes your radio
Woot, it worked! TY uberingram, and BSDADON.

ok so when you say it flashes your radio what exactly does that mean and what does that do for or to the phone?? I have looked and looked for the answer to this and I have found NOTHING thanks!! anyone that knows can def answer!!!!
radio
Think of the radio as a manager in the store it kinda tells eveything how to work and when to work and to os as the worker pluging along not paying atention to this till the manager says stop you farked things up or it's quiting time
Ok, so riddle me this: does a rooted phone with jf adp 1.5 and the old 1.22 radio have issues with bluetooth not routing sound away from the internal speaker, and into the actual bluetooth device???

Hi guys! Im from Norway, im therefore having the Europe version of the TP.
My ROM version is: 1.90.409.6 NOR
My Radio version is: 1.02.25.19
My problem is that the phone is rather slow and unstable.. Since i got it 2 months ago i had to factory reset it four times! And therefore having to install all my apps and stuff over and over again. Starting to get a little frustrating The last fault i got on the device was that it wouldn recieve sms. I had to turn off the phone, and then back on to get them. And had to do so every ten minutes to be sure that i got the messenges i was suppose to.. Kind of boring. So! Im wondering. What would you guys suggest? Would a radio update change the speed of my device?
Sorry if i double posted. I couldt find any posts with norwegian people woundering about the same
Thx in advance!
I doubt, that a different radio will improve you situation but you can easily try it without any risk. Flashing a different radio does not hard reset your device. So you can try it and go back if it doesn't show any effect.
I would suggest you to have a look at ROMeOS v1.40. That ROM is extremely fast (compared to stock ROM at least) and perfectly stable.
HTH
Okey. Thanks for the response. I read somewhere that a radio flash did make the device faster. Im not sure if my version is old or not but. Do you perhaps have a link to a radio flash guide? The only simmilar i found only said how to change ROM.
Cheers!

I found the radio flash guide. But when i tried to install HardSPL it halted saying that my TP wasnt connected to my PC. Wich it was.. So thats kinda weird.
But lets say i want to try a new ROM. My TP is set up with Norwegian keys. And the software keys on my TP also have the norwegian letters if i use the fn key. Will this dissapear? Ive never done this before. Sorry if my questions are strange =)
Anyone? =)
Hi, I have a Tilt with PDA Corner Ultimate V.10,
Hard SPL 3.29,
and radio 1.27.14.09 (AT&T Stock)
The radio is causing the phone to have no sound, but everything else works fine. I know this problem is common, but I have tried everything within my ability and cannot get it to flash to any other ROM or radio.
When flashing a new ROM or radio, it shows the current version and update version, but never gets past 0% without a 262 error
I have tried all of the solutions I found posted on the forum, (Jump SPL, MTTY, EVERYTHING) trust me i've searched and read and searched more, I am not a newb to this although my post count is low.
Is there anyone with this particular problem on this particular ROM/radio combination that can help me out?

Maybe this is another one of those 'Radios from Hell' that won't let you upgrade. Note this quote from Ultimate Radio Thread:

A clear advice to all is: always make sure you have HardSPL installed and your device is security unlocked before installing a new radio !!
Also, maybe something in this thread will help you...

Thanx for your quick reply. I was thinking along the same lines, but I installed HardSPL just fine and flashed to the PDA corner ROM with no problem, the problem arose when I figured out that the radio was causing the phone to have no sound and wanted to update it..which of course did not work. Right now I am trying the stock ROM with the same radio to see if it will allow me to flash it...

That's why I'm thinking you may have flashed a 'Radio from Hell' which is preventing any further ROM updates. Maybe something in the RFH thread I linked to can help...
Good luck!
Ok, this is a radio from hell, i found some information on it stating that when it is used with any other ROM, sound will not function. Now I am trying to revert back to the orignial ROM but I have a new problem, I cannot find the original rom for this phone (AT&T aku 0.4.4 build 18128 radio 1.27.14.09) in working condition. There is only one link to it and the file is corrupted(rapidshare). is there anyone with this operating system that could send me a link that is NOT the one posted on XDA: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341886). Thanx to drtolson, and thanx in advance to anyone else who is brave enough to get involved.
(Drtolson, I want to try the techniques on the post you sent a link to, but it states that the steps only work with that particular radio and others have not had any success using it with any other radios.)

ok thanx, I'm downloading it again to see if it works...
Ok, i re-downloaded the file and it worked and also successfully flashed back to the original ROM, I probably won't be able to flash it to another custom ROM but at least the sound is working and the phone is fully functional. THANX TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP!
Hey all, Ill only ask this once, (Since after this time, Ill know for future updates and be on the right path =) )since this G1 is so new dev wise, its getting confusing when im studying everything all at once and only updated rooted once to the custom RC30. I saw the newer update is RC33, now when I apply that, is it required EACH TIME to wipe the device? Im asking cause it would be a pain to reinstall each app I had installed there to begin with. I know I wiped the 1st time I rooted and updated. So just wanted to check.
Also whats the new additions in these updates? Any good changelogs out there? I kinda like keeping the Tmobile US stuff on mine, but root access is awesome. =)
Thanks for any update tips out there atm.
Edit, My G1 is still on Firmware 1.1 is that a seperate update or how is everyone updating that with the custom stuff? Thanks. (And do I need that FW update before going RC33?)
Nope, you won't lose anything when you upgrade the firmware normally. Going from JF RC30 to JF RC33 should be fine
Check the stickied topic on the top of the forum to find out more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381
The changelog is somewhere in there.
Thank you. =) I didnt read that one since it was talking about for UK users. Heh. Least it explained things a lil more. =DDD
What about the firmware? Seems Ill have to do the new radio too, but wondering.. is that radio one for US too or only uk? Since its in a UK thread. =/
Nah, it's not a UK topic. He just modifies the title when he adds something new. The radio should be for the US version. Just download the radio and JF RC33 and throw them on your microSD (one at a time obviously, named update.zip).
Firmware 1.1 is just like the base firmware number, you can ignore that. Firmware 1.5 (I think) is cupcake, so you get the idea.
Ok so the firmware is nothing major atm to update or would you still upset it? I havent looked into cupcake yet.
No, completely ignore the firmware number, the only numbers you want to look at are RC30, 33, etc...
Ok this is odd. I updated fine to RC33, however when I try to get back in recovery mode to apply the radio rom, it wont go into the recovery mode. It just keeps rebooting to the G1 screen when im holding the home button. Anyone seen that before or how to get back into the recovery mode?
Anyone have any ideas?
I keep seeing on this and other forums that noobs are unsure about how to flash radio versions. They also don't know about the double reboot, and think they bricked their phone when it loads the radio. I am posting this thread to answer those questions, hoping that it will stop a lot of the same question over and over again in the other threads.
1. To flash your radio, rename the file to update.zip, or just update if your computer doesn't show file extensions.
2. Put the file onto the root of your SD card. (If you have a different update.zip on there, you will have to remove or overwrite the old update.zip).
3. Boot into recovery and hit alt S
4. Reboot your phone. It will reboot twice. The first time, you will see the recovery page for a split second, then you will see a strange screen. The screen will stay on for a minute or two while it writes the radio image, so don't freak out, then your phone will reboot normally.
5. You can upgrade the radio either after, or before you flash the firmware, it doesn't matter which you do first.
6. Yes, if you are going to a completely new firmware version, for example, 1.0 - 1.1 - 1.5, you will have to change your radio to the compatible version, or you will have problems. The same is true for downgrading. You will probably have to downgrade your radio if going back to an older version of firmware.
7. No, you don't have to change radio versions if staying on the same version, example RC33 1.1 to ADP 1.1, or 1.5 H to 1.5 G.
Those are the only questions I can think of at the moment. If i screwed something up, or forgot to add something, let me know!
Looks like this is good info (Was unsure myself, so this helps), not sure why no one else would say thanks.
Thanks .
Thanks for leting me know it helped! It quickly disappeared into the depths of unanswered threads, so I figured nobody would ever see it.
thanks
This helped me also, thanks for breaking it down so well.
is there a definitive list of radio versions for which country etc? also dl links would be handy

Since you will only be flashing the radio when you flash the rom, you should use the radio specified on the page where you got your rom.
Since there are so many versions of Android out now, and they only work correctly with the radio which was built for that version, I didn't want to post links and have people downloading the wrong version, then wondering why they have so many problems.
do i hear music with his radio update?

Rephrase that...?
No, no music. The radio update has something to do with connecting to a signal. (I'm not really up on all of this technology, so I can't give you a more detailed explanation). I do know that many times, if you have the wrong radio version, you won't be able to stay connected though.
Hey all, I'm sorry if this seems an odd question, but I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the process of how the One S gets different features flashed to the device.
I don't have my One S yet (Hopefully it'll arrive later today, 7/27) but I wanted to be prepared when it arrives.
It seems the links are broken in this post and it's stating that this thread is outdated.
If I'm going to flash a new ROM on the device, are the radios generally included in that ROM already? I see that you often times need to manually flash BOOT.IMG on a per-ROM basis due to not having s-off? I'm comfortable with all of that, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything, and unfortunately it seems as though there is little information in some of the threads on XDA that clearly answer my question.
Call it a personality defect, I just like to 100% understand something in every possible way before being able to attempt it. Unfortunately when I don't have the device in front of me, it prevents me from being able to do that, but that's what forums are for, right?
Cheers all, I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer my question.

The latest radio with android 4.0.4 rom is said to be much better in terms of performace of wifi and cellular data signal then all previous versions, unfortunately buying a phone at this stage means that you probably will have a later hboot version 1.13 and this hboot doesnt allow flashing radio from recovery like the previous versions. You can find out more info about the radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
To answer your other question the radio has to be flashed separately from the ROM. Hopefully your phone comes with a lower hboot so flashing wont be a problem, make sure you dont accept the ota update out of the box like i did so u dont accidently get an upgraded hboot. Makes life more diificult ;p.
Its a used phone and is already running CM9, so I'm hoping its the older boot. I already made sure it was the S4, but I just realized that the unlocked phones don't support TMOUS bands, so I'm a bit screwed at the moment.
I don't know what the next step is for me, so I may be forced to move to Straight Talk until I can get another 100% compatible TMOUS phone. I saw it has 2100 HSPA radio frequencies so I had assumed it would work on TMOUS. Needless to say I feel pretty stupid now.
Thanks again for the links, they were exactly what I was looking for!

just boot into bootloader it will tell you hboot. i think .06 is stock one
there are radio links here .10 latest for us--if you want 4.0.4 one--research needed

flash thru twrp or if cwr you must boot into recovery thru fastboot then flash
