jf 1.5 and radio - G1 Android Development

I have wanted a G1 since I heard it was coming out, but I was AT&T... made the jump last week and FINALLY got my G1...
Didn't want to wait for official cupcake so I rooted last night... After a couple of hours of sweating and swearing I think I got it... I don't know what I did, but after almost dying cause it was taking FOREVER to reboot, i looked and it said 1.5... whatever... but everywhere I looked it said to install the latest version of "radio"... What is it? and how can I tell if I have it? I guess it sounds like a dumb question, but us noobs are like that...
BTW... LOVE jf's 1.5... rooting is the way to go!

i dont kno exactly the radio does but from my understanding it heps with data transferand supposldy helps with batter consumption...go to htc website and download the 1.5 radio apply to sd card as update.zip

The latest version of the radio can be found here;
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
basically, what I do is just load it on my card, rename to update.zip and then just follow steps 6-9 on the htc page.
From what I can remember, and with no link to back me up, I thought we were supposed to update radio first, and then flash the phone with the new os. Hopefully someone else pipes in and confirms or corrects this.

Its pretty simple if you think of it in terms of a radio your familiar with like the one in your car. A car stereo is set to pick up radio stations on different frequencies like 101.5, 92.1 transmitted from a radio tower. A phones radio pretty much does the same thing, it picks up frequencies 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for GSM from the cell phone tower, but also has the ability to transmit back to the tower unlike an FM radio. The radio updates are just tweaks to the part of the phone that controls all this, hence giving better signal, batter life, etc. Just like the OS becomes more efficient/capable from updates the Radio can aswell. I hope this explanation helps.

The radio can be updated before or after (I prefer to do it after beause that's how OTA does it). Download the radio file, put it in the root of your sdcard, rename it to update.zip (zip being the extension, not an extra line of word for it), go into recovery mode and hit alt-s to update.
To know that you have the latest radio, go to settings and check about phone, and in the baseband version, your numbers should end with 2.22.19.26I

Excellent. That answered all my questions... so I am cool to do it after, helps battery life... I like it!

Reason? I'm using 1.54.01.00 and I lose service at least twice a day. I have to turn the phone off and back on just for it to find signal again...so annoying...

You know, it would be nice if just ONCE, instead of this stock response you give everyone who asks about a radio, you actually offered up some information that someone could use. For example, not everyone knows that if you use 1.54.30.10 you are stuck with it ... granted, it's mainly because not everyone reads the forums, but if you are going to bother responding, then at least give the newbs somthing to go on.
I am having radio problems myself since I upgraded to the cooked full version of WM6.1 and am also looking for the best solution.
I am using 1.54.01 now too, and my radio reception in Ohio with AT&T is worse than the WM6 2.25 AT&T version, and battery life is worse too. I am going to try to downgrade to 1.47.02 which was listed on the site with the WM6.1 to see if it works better.
Here's an update ...
1.47.02 was also a bust for me. I didn't test battery life, but the reception was bad enough I decided to try something else.
I finally was able to figure out that the radio that comes with AT&T's WM6 Desktop Updater is 1.54.27.00. I have decided to go back to that radio which was working well when I was on WM6.
Sorry, but I don't know how to extract a radio ROM, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere separately, so I had to go the long way to get back to it. There is probably an easier way to do this, but I'm a newb on flashing, so this is what I had to do:
1) Hard SPL the Treo. Note, when I did this to mine it did not go through step 3, so it did not re-flash the radio, and it kept the SPL version on the device. This is why I went looking for a new radio.
2) Revert to WM6 using the SD card update method. Get it here.
3) Install the WM6.1 ROM using the SD card update method. Get it here.
This radio has given me the best results for AT&T in central Ohio as far as radio stability and signal strength. YMMV, but I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along.
If anyone has the skills to extract this radio (1.54.27.00) from the main ROM, it might be of help to others.

A lot of members has the skill and can extract the radio fine. The problem is, they now got themselves a kaiser, some got polaris and others even got a Diamond to play with and as I speak, they're now busy playing with their new toys so, I don't think they will bother extracting the radio 1.27 from AT&T just as much as no one even bothered to help those who are stuck with radio 1.54xxx.
How do I tell what radio version I am using?
When I go to the about in the settings. it does not say anything about radio. it says
Software version:
TREO750-2.18-VFE
Hardware version:
A
.....
Firmware version:
1.47.02.000
CC-Cap:
CFG-AU-009
does this mean 1.47.02.000 this the radio version?

Question: How to completely wipe a Tilt?

No, not a ROM flash: I want to completely erase every last piece of data in my Tilt and install the SPL, OS, and radio from scratch.
As far as I can tell, FrankenKaiser will do that, but it (in theory) only works with the radio from hell... which I have, albeit the "_patched" version...
I am trying to work from a clean slate, rather than flash another ROM... trying to clear up a problem that I think can only be fixed by such a drastic move... and of all the posts I've seen, (unless I'm retarded - quite possible) none has addressed such a move. Is FrankenKaiser the solution? If so, do I need to put the radio from hell on first? If it's not the solution, what is? Or is there one at all?
Thank you

This is possible, but why?
After you wipe your phone you will be re-flashing the ROM / Radio and SPL anyway.
If you do do this, make sure you read and understand the process (and what the pre-requisites are first).
Ta
Dave
Install Sleuth's V_3.0 WM6.1. I have moddified a version with Jocky to work with that OEMSBL version.
I will PM you with a link for the moddified FrankenKaiser, hey that sounds familiar, ohh yeah, Jocky let me name it!
HOWEVER, I think I'd try a few other things first. Like check the Radio Protocol. On boot does the red protocol version end in H or W? W is not for US & can create issues with 3G. Also, you can try using MTTY with my G3SPL MFG_SPL to fomat a few thing & to flush out Nand blocks. Many things to try before venturing to FK. I know you PM'd me, but I've been a wee bit busy, I'll make a little time if I can help though. Try me on MSN/Live Messenger [email protected] (Even if it says "Offline" give it a try, I may just be lurking)
Protocol ends in H, currently using the Neon 1.58.25.17 radio, I have tried virtually every other 6.1 radio in existence, and about a dozen different ROMs, including the stock AT&T and letting the bloatware install just for poops and giggles. But not the one that you suggested GS, what the hell, one more ROM flash ain't gonna hurt...
I am reticent to think it's a hardware issue because the G and H icons do appear, I just can't get a connection, and it all happened while using the GPS (LiveSearch and HTC GPS Tool specifically). If it was hardware related I would imagine that I wouldn't get the icons, it would just show no service.
Also, the reason I wanted to do a complete whitewash is because, even when installing a new ROM, I have noticed that certain traces and settings remain from days gone by (certain registry settings, POP3 accounts, etc), which I find odd.
I would be interested in the MTTY approach, a link would be appreciated... running out the door now to go play bar manager...
Sorry GS, didn't wanna seem impatient, just trying to get a wider input as to a solution, so I can (a) fix mine and (b) maybe suggest to others (a bunch from what I've seen, here and elsewhere) with the same problem, rather than everyone sending them to AT&T / HTC for replacements.
Personally, I think that the 3G issue is some corruption somewhere in the phone's firmware that a ROM/radio/SPL change doesn't affect, and - as much as I hate to invoke such people - the guys at AT&T that looked at it believed the same, didn't think it was an antenna issue (although the widespread belief is that it IS, and furthermore that anyone working at AT&T is a dolt - which IS usually the case). Far be it from me to be naive, but one would think that if this was as widespread a problem as it is and was hardware related that there would be a recall, which there hasn't been.
Again, thanks to everyone for their assistance.
So, I guess the next question is... how do I use MTTY to, as GSLEON suggested, flush out the bad blocks?
Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
go ahead and read up on this post. It will explain everything for you...

You could try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb
No seriously, which way do you flash a rom ?
Just flash and basta? Flash and HR after that ? Have tryed with a different computer /os ? From SD card ? I had some reminiscent traces of previous roms if I didn't hard resetted after the flash.

Thought about it, but motherf*%$# Al-Qaida has made getting my hands on one so difficult.
I flash from a WinXP PC, have not tried another one because this is the only one I can get my grubby little hands on, flash / HR. Have not tried from SD card. I have had traces of old ROMs as well - I tired using PDAUltimate v6 and still had the splash screen from Garmin 4.4c... odd... that and other incidents of remnants of ROMs gone by.
You may want to check here and see if there is anything that may apply. (This is coming from someone that had a 3G failure.)

Well, that IS the usual behavior when the radio hardware goes poof, many people including myself experienced it. In the end GPS failed too on mine, as well as the GSM radio, and the phone was always running hot and draining batteries extremely quickly.
See the link posted by John.
The quick and dirty of it is....
1. The Icon lighting up means the radio and protocol is correct to talk on the correct 3G bands in your area
2. From what I have been able to gleen on how the 3G signaling works (not an expert here) it is basically GSM signaling for the UMTS/HSDPA Voice/data path buildup.
3. It is most interesting to go to an area that has non PCS band 3g, use field test to verify this if you want, you can lock your phone on edge and use voice and data 850, but will not be able to build up a UMTS/HSDPA connection on 3G. You need to go to a non PCS area as I have seen for the most part in Seattle they run the edge net on 850 and 3G on PCS frequencies.

Rogers to disable internet access on non-upgraded Dreams. Using radio version string?

I just received the following SMS:
Rogers/Fido Safety Message: URGENT 911 Calls HTC Dream software update: Mandatory software update is now available to help ensure 911 calls are completed from your phone. Please go immediately to rogers.com/dreamsoftwareupdate on your PC to download.
In order to help ensure 911 calls are completed internet access will be temporarily disabled on your phone at 01/24/10 6:00AM EST. To minimize loss of internet service, please complete your software update immediately. Upon completion, internet access will be re enabled within 24 hours.
For users of Macintosh and Windows 7, please call 1- 888-764-3771(1-888-ROGERS1) for update instructions.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we prioritize customer safety above all.
Click to expand...

So, here's the thought. Clearly they are going to be looking for something. Perhaps the radio is going identify itself, as DREAM.OK or some such?!
Obviously, they aren't looking for people to call in, one by one to re-activate their service.
Another option would be some sort of "now that you have installed the rom, SMS this code to rogers.upgrade.done...
Ideas? I'd hate to see all non-Rogers Dream ROMs blacklisted, because they didn't include "Dream.fixed' in some tag somewhere....
EDIT:
Ah, if anyone is curious, you can find the ROM at http://www.rogers.com/techsupport
eeee
Yea, I'm wondering whats goona happen here. Rogers has a history of ass-hattery, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they shut off data access to all non-rogers roms. They've been fighting to keep custom roms off their phones since day one.
I'm goona call them tomorrow to find out how exactly, they are planning to be disabling data services to non-compliant devices.
P.S. I have successfully called 911, with my G1, with the GPS enabled, running CM 4.0.9, and CM 4.1.11, with radio 3.33, and I've also verified on a friends stock G1, that 911 works fine, so I suspect there is more to the story.
I've created a Facebook group to track updates, and give us some better sticky handling of resolutions: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=265860828421
Radio firmware
The new radio firmware they are pushing is 3.22.26.17.
Kernel version 2.6.27-d5acf552
[email protected] #12
It's a standard 1.5 image without sense UI or any new features.
SPL 1.33.0010 is pushed preventing fastboot writes to the phone.
The final kick in the face is that they patch the exploit used to root the android OS via flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.
If your a dream user and apply this patch, you will not be able to root your phone until flashrec is updated.

I can confirm that.
eYup
Just got off the phone with Rogers LVL 2 and 3 support.
They say that the are discontinuing data services to all G1 phones, until some script runs through, which detects your "update version".
No one in level 2 or 3 knows what exactly this script is "detecting" other than the "update version". They don't know if its looking for android version, radio version, or spl, nor do they know if anroid 1.6, radio 3.33, splwhatever is good enough (even though 911 calls work fine for me).
At any rate, my phone is on a corporate account, so they're taking me a tad more seriously than I'd expect from Rogers. LVL 3 guy is making some calls (after fighting with him for 2 hours), to find out if perhaps our data services won't be disconnected, so long as we're running android 1.6+/radio 3.33+.
Will update when I hear back from them.
Call in, complain. Demand to speak to the "office of the president" (Apparently the guys with some measure of authority?)
*UPDATE*
So I spoke to "the supervisor for the office of the president of Rogers", and he says in a rather scripted tone, "Rogers does not allow any non-rogers provided and supported phones on their network. Connecting a non-rogers phone to the rogers network, is a breach of contract, as outline in the terms and conditions."
So, we went over the terms and conditions, line by painful line, to find the part that says Rogers only allows Rogers branded phones on their network. We were unfortunately, unable to find said stipulation.
Overall, they've said they don't care if discontinuing your data services means the loss of your business.
Now, thus far no one actually knows what Rogers is looking for, to determine how they're going to know if you've updated or not, but what they DID say, is that once they've determined that you've updated, data services will be restored to your account. This suggests that the data services will STAY activated, even if you install another ROM.
I'll test this tomorrow/monday, by putting my sim into a g1 thats been updated with Rogers ROM, wait till data services come up, and then drop my sim back into my phone. We'll see.
Any questions or concerns regarding this update, should probably be directed to Trever Rodrigez (team manager for the office of the president of Rogers) - 416-935-7543
OK,
Good news:
Cyanogen -> Rogers patch 1.5 and back (and added bonus for linux/mac users no need to run a windows application to do it)
Bad news: in writing this and redoing the process I did something silly and bricked my phone: (so continue with caution)
Here is a hacked version of the dream rom.nbh used to update to Rogers new version. (Basically just flagged it not to touch the SPL)
News Update (Feb 1):
bcrook and beav_35 have extracted the radio image from the nbh; see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5509214&postcount=345
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5510235&postcount=350
Thus if you wish to only get the radio you may wish to check the above out. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with using the instructions on this thread for trying/developing for/hacking the new rogers rom w/o loosing the SPL as many people have successfully used.
(I have read reports of people flashing the radio resulting in a working phone; and have checked the data appears to be extracted correctly; thus I'm fairly confident the radio.img is correct; However I have not flashed it myself via the img so you continue at your own risk)
Flash ROGERS rom (sans SPL) to your phone
!*! Please be sure to proceed with caution; also note while flashing to the rogers rom ought to be fairly safe flashing radios [including the one in this rom and the ota] always have a potential risk of bricking a phone, as some people have found out the hard way.
You will need:
* recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img
* DREAIMG.nbh For Rogers 911 fix
* working fastboot
* Engineering SPL (others may or may not work):
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
* EBI0 users (aka RADIO-2.22.19.26I): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip or radio image
(edit) NOTE this will likely only work on rogers HTC Dream phones.
1) download http://rapidshare.com/files/340176423/DREAIMG.nbh.html MD5: f6c6865a92f52345cee374960773df7d
2) Place this version of DREAMING on the root of your SD card
3) run Nandroid backup!!! (this also ensures your current recovery works)
4) turn off phone and turn on holding camera
5) Start HBOOT mode (may start on its own, otherwise press "send" to go to FASTBOOT then camera to return and re-try HBOOT)
6) it will ask you to install [1] RADIO_V2 [2] RECOVERY [3] BOOT [4] SYSTEM [5] USERDATA
7) press action key (trackball) to install rogers firmeware w/o SPL
8) wait while install continues
9) When prompted to reboot hold camera while you press the action key
10) Now back in the SPL use fastboot to flash recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img (fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img)
11) Menu to shut off
12) power and boot into rogers rom
>> You now have a non-rooted rogers rom with the rogers radio;
>> however you have fastboot with engineering SPL; and a full recovery image
If you where using radio 2.22.19.26I this will need to be recovered and nandroid restore run; otherwise hopefully you only need the nandroid restore (not tested by me)
Restore Cyanogen and other EBI0 roms /Radio 2.22.19.26I From a previous Nandroid backup ONLY:
First if you are running CM.. strongly consider switching to the EBI1 version it is much less likely to brick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5486532&postcount=428
Thus far 3 phones (my own included) have been bricked attempting to restore EBI0; as such I'm removing my original instructions (I'm confident they worked if used correctly but think there are better ways to keep your phone operating)
New steps:
1) nandroid restore
2) reboot phone (if it boots you restored a EBI1 rom.. and its a good thing we didn't use my original steps)
3) If the phone gets stuck on rogers logo pull battery
4) reconsider switching to EBI1 port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5486532&postcount=428
5) if for a second time you refuse to switch to the EBI1 port: download ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
6) unzip and extract radio.img
7) enter fastboot on the phone
8) run 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'
9) try to boot your phone good luck
Restore Cyanogen or other EBI1 rom From a previous Nandroid backup ONLY:
1) Run Nandroid recovery
New CFW Install:
Find and Follow "rogers" install instructions
EBI0 roms: you have only installed the SPL; you will still need to install Radio + recovery
EBI1 roms: you have already installed SPL + Recovory
This is only for HTC dreams right? Not unlocked Tmobile G1's running CM 4.2.13 on Rogers?
question. my account says im on a blackberry bold 9000, will this effect me since im using my htc dream on the account or will they overlook me not knowing im on the dream?
*edit*
im guessing they know im using my htc dream due to i got the txt msg.. so that rules that out
but arent they breaking the contract terms by disabling our data until we do their new since update since we signed before this update was even thought about?

Did they text you about a e911 issue? I don't think flashing a Rogers firmware on a T-Mobile G1 a good idea.
Everything working fine, CM 4.2.13 , rooted, and 2.22.19.26. 1.6 recovery
Maybe they are also checking whether or not the phone was bought from them or from another source , by checking IMEI/SN. Not sure , but everything is fine with my internet access.
Ok, first the nitty and gritty.
Bell Canada already lost this argument, back in the late 70s or early 80s.
Back then, Bell only allowed "Bell Canada approved phones", or at the time, Northern Telecom phones. They claimed that other phones could "harm their switches", and so on, and so forth.
The also claimed that modems were an "abuse of the line", and that fax machines could not be connected without paying a special fee.
All three of these things were overruled, either by CRTC or court decisions at the time. The CRTC/court did not buy the hogwash, that phones designed to work on Bell's network, by competitors, were somehow a danger to Bell.
The same parallel can be drawn here, and is likely why the poster above, did not find that statement in the TOS provided by Rogers. Rogers' legal likely knows that if they push too hard to keep such phones off their network, a court or CRTC decision based upon prior prescident will force them to move to a fully open network.
That is, the CRTC or a court, will not buy that standard GSM phones, designed for a standard GSM network, running on a GSM network built and designed to be compatible with standard GSM phones, will cause issues.
It won't, and it is hogwash.
That said, there is a big difference between refusing to help with cell phone specific issues, and blocking cell phones off their network. Refusing to help with cell phones specific issues, with cell phones they are not familiar with, is reasonable.
Blocking cell phones, for no other reason that they assume there are issues with them, is not reasonable.
This all said and done, what would they be keying on? That is, is there a version string on the ROM? If so, why would we even care if the rom said DREAM in it?
Why not call it "MAERD_NOT" instead?
Is this hard coded in the radio? I'd guess so....
Opinions from any developers would be very, very appreciated...

I had thought that their disconnect was tomorrow, I did not realise that today was the 24th. I guess it makes sense, as everyone will have issues on Sunday, and theoretically have time to update on their day off..
So, so far, perhaps they are triggering only on the specific bad version of the rom, which is the logical thing to do...
hrm
Well, I'm running CM 4.2.11, android 1.6, radio 3.33, and spl 1.33.xx, and its 1144 on 01/24/2010, and I've not lost my data services.
For the time being, it looks like they're just looking for either Android 1.5+, or radio 3.22+. I'm goona leave my phone as is for now, and see what happens. We'll see what happens over the next few hours, but their update process is clearly not what we've been told. (Data services was supposed to be disconnected for all G1 users at 0600, period.)
P.S. I asked Rogers very specifically, if they were going to probe each phone to find out which were effected by the 911 bug. They said they were disconnecting data services to ALL G1 handsets, until some script on their side, could log into our devices, and check that the update was in place. *sigh*
Yeah my internet's been disabled too now. It happened around noon for me. I really hope someone comes out with a fix for this. I called in to Rogers too and asked if he could reactivate my data for me but he was like, "Your SIM is from 2004, so it is too old, please use the SIM provided with your phone and call us back to reactivate your number." Not sure what that means though. He said something about how it might not work.
Additionally, I'm also on CM 4.2.13.
I can't believe how low traffic this thread is. Are there only 7 people in Canada, running non-rogers g1's?

Ok, first the nitty and gritty.
Bell Canada already lost this argument, back in the late 70s or early 80s.
Back then, Bell only allowed "Bell Canada approved phones", or at the time, Northern Telecom phones. They claimed that other phones could "harm their switches", and so on, and so forth.
The also claimed that modems were an "abuse of the line", and that fax machines could not be connected without paying a special fee.
All three of these things were overruled, either by CRTC or court decisions at the time. The CRTC/court did not buy the hogwash, that phones designed to work on Bell's network, by competitors, were somehow a danger to Bell.
The same parallel can be drawn here, and is likely why the poster above, did not find that statement in the TOS provided by Rogers. Rogers' legal likely knows that if they push too hard to keep such phones off their network, a court or CRTC decision based upon prior prescident will force them to move to a fully open network.
That is, the CRTC or a court, will not buy that standard GSM phones, designed for a standard GSM network, running on a GSM network built and designed to be compatible with standard GSM phones, will cause issues.
It won't, and it is hogwash.
That said, there is a big difference between refusing to help with cell phone specific issues, and blocking cell phones off their network. Refusing to help with cell phones specific issues, with cell phones they are not familiar with, is reasonable.
Blocking cell phones, for no other reason that they assume there are issues with them, is not reasonable.
This all said and done, what would they be keying on? That is, is there a version string on the ROM? If so, why would we even care if the rom said DREAM in it?
Why not call it "MAERD_NOT" instead?
Is this hard coded in the radio? I'd guess so....
Opinions from any developers would be very, very appreciated...

I agree, and told Rogers all of this last night. They said "There are no legal ramifications to discontinuing service to unsupported handsets".
I pointed out that this is not an issue of "support", rather it was an issue of them purposefully and forcefully un-supporting non-rogers branded phones and software, which HAS and WILL AGAIN, have legal ramifications.
All this is well and good, except that it seems there are only 7 of us using non-rogers roms wtf.
I'm in Toronto and I can confirm I just loss my data 15 minutes ago. So do the instruction on page 1 work? I'm wondering if I should wait and see or just go ahead with the flash.
I'm running Dwang's Rom.
Follow this on the Android subforum on the rogers forum at howardforums. Lol..I'm not allowed to post links sorry.
Edit: This is what I see in fastboot

What Radio are you running?
Can anyone who HAS lost data services, report back their radio version?
You can do this by starting your phone in fastboot mode (camera+power button). Radio version is at the top left.
I updated my system and boot partitions, but not the radio and SPL (you can extract the images from the update if you know how...). I didn't want to update the radio in case it wasn't compatible with 1.33.2005 SPL. I also lost my data connection a couple hours ago. If it doesn't come back by tomorrow, then I know that it must be the radio version that they're checking for.
Edit: Radio is 3.22.20.17. Hasn't been touched since I got the phone when it came out.

Added on my post.

[Q] To flash a radio, or not to flash a radio.

Im running Revolution 5.1.11 on my Inspire with radio 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.03.26_m.
I cant tell if service is actually worse, or if the status symbol is just accurate now. First, it NEVER shows H+, mostly shows 3g, and sometimes shows an E. My concern stems from the fact that data speeds are very sporadic. Sometimes .06Mbps down, sometimes 2.5 Mpbs down on either 3G or H. I havent tested on E.
Fortunately, I have access to many Android devices including Inspires. I ran a speed test and mine performed either as well showing 3G versus the stock one showing H+. Unfortunatly, I cant take a stock one home and see how it compares in other places.
I tried to flash the radio to the one that Mike recommends and I got an error.
Should I go through the trouble of turning eng-s off? It seems like a lit of risky work for something that may or may not effect my signal and data speeds.
Advice from the pros please?
In my not so humble opinion, there's no real difference in the radio firmware. I've used 'em all and I don't really notice any difference that couldn't be explained as just normal random signal variation effects. There's probably little bugs in the actual code for say, spreading algorithms or rate calculations or something, that might crop up like 1 in a thousand times which none of us will ever notice, but when you've got millions of customers, it might add up. I just use the latest firmware assuming that it's going to be the most up-to-date and bug-free, but I really have no concrete evidence for this.

OP, listen to this man.^^^^
And I will just finish off answering your post by saying no, there's no reason to do eng s-Off.
It's overkill for your stated goal. If you really want to flash other radios anyway, just for ****s and giggles, visit the inspire only radio thread in the dev section to familiarize yourself with the "no eng s-Off needed" method of flashing radios.

Thanks, I read through that thread but the developer of the os specifically stated to have eng off. I didnt know if that radio was unique in some way that really required it.
If its overkill for data speeds, then why do people do it? Im not being confrontational, thats a real question. What is to gain by a user? I see how a carrier could benefit, but what about us?
Do all rooted Inspires show 3G service? Ive never seen a stock one show that and Ive seen a ton of stock ones.

Please reread my post. I said nothing regarding being overkill for data speeds. I was referring to the use of one of two methods used for flashing a different radio on your phone. The eng s-Off method is "overkill" because a safer method that does the same thing... Flashes a radio... Has since come into existence and doesn't require the potentially dangerous modification of eng s-Off to be performed on your phone.
I think you're referring to the ROM thread. If it started as a desire hd based ROM, or one of the first ones for the inspire, chances are it says you need eng s-Off for the radio because that was the way it started out... The non eng s-Off is a slightly more recent development, and for some reason, the eng s-Off method seems to be continued to be promoted on the desire hd sections.
Everyone who's anyone here in inspireland, namely Attn1, will recommend the non eng s-Off method for basic radio changes over the eng s-Off method.
Any radio that a ROM recommends can be flashed this way, as long as you use the flashable file from the thread linked below, assuming its a radio that is referenced in that below linked thread.
This is the thread I was referring to last post.

I definitely misread it...I thought that you were saying that flashing the radio was overkill for my stated goal of getting better service/data speeds.
To clarify my understanding, that thread says to download p98img and "Place this file on the root of your SD card." Should there be a folder called "root"? I looked using astro and es, and dont see one called that. Should I create one and just copy the file in there?
Ill use a file from that thread and cross my fingers. thanks!

No. You just have to transfer the PD98IMG zip file to your sd card. Do not place it in any folders. The root of your sd card is the main area where all of the folders and files reside. Then boot into H Boot and your phone will find it. You can flash the matching Ril files for the radio through CWM recovery. Read the directions for doing this, (mount system first).

Just to o verify, Im verifying that the md5sum for the actual downloaded file matches the one that the person posted in the thread that I got it in right?

Yup. You can check your files MD5 using a variety of methods, one of which is astro file manager, mentioned in that thread.
As far as flashing new radios is concerned, the differences may not be apparent right away, if there are any at all, as gene was saying.
You have to run the radio at least a few days to even have a chance of getting a somewhat objective idea of its performance.
I've only flashed two in as many months. It's very difficult to see much difference between the more recent radios.

+1, I tend to think the same thing. I've had the same experience.
I think I'm banging my head against the wall because the speedtest.net app is a joke. I used it on several unrooted phones, and they show about the same speeds .02-.10 Mbps. I used xtremelabs speedtest and its showing higher speeds 2.75Mbps. Its not even close.
I did some back to back testing.
I ran speedtest.net and xtremelabs on a stock Infuse, Stock Inspire, and a Rooted Inspire.
Stock Infuse Speedtest.net .01-.02 Mbps down, .05-.01 up.
Stock Infuse xtremelabs 4.51Mbps down, .4-.5 up.
Stock Inspire Speedtest.net .02 Mbps down, .06 up.
Stock Inspire Xtreme 1.14 Mbps down, .148 up.
Rooted Inspire Speedtest.net .02 Mbps down, .51 up.
Rooted Inspire Xtremelabs 2.74 Mbps down, 2.8 up.
The Speedtest app really depends on the server location and the time of day, and it also depends on your location and time of day. Depends on their load. I have had huge variances with results with Speedtest.

You'd really have to have a "clinical" grade testing environment to even be able to see what impact any radio/other OS related changes would have on signal/data performance.
I stopped trying to use speedtest.net types of things. I use WiFi most of the time anyway.

I was using them to see if I created an issue when rooting. I dont need to know exact speeds, but wanted to see a general comparison. I was nervous when I saw the .0x speeds and thought I ruined the phone. Im talking panic mode. lol

I will disagree somewhat. I use Open Signal, which indicates which tower (CID, with the location plotted on a Google Map in reference to the user's location) one is connected to, along with fun stats such as dBm of the signal, RSSI, ASU. After a while, one can characterize the environment. I live in an area with multiple towers. I am rarely more than 900 meters from a tower in my normal routine, and there are multiple towers within the radius. I can run Test 1, and be connected to tower X, for Test 2 within a minute later, be connected to tower Y, and for Test 3, be connected to tower Z. These 3 towers have totally different signal characteristics, and produce wildly different results. However, after "mapping" the results over time, I have a basic idea what sort of results to expect by which tower I am connected to for a given test, coupled with time of day and the ASU given at the time.
I have also identified one curious "dead zone", and a major intersection about 800 meters from my house (where I go frequently to buy smokes and whatnot). There are 3 towers within a 500 meter radius. One would think it would be "Speed Test Heaven" at this location. It is not. There seems to be some sort of interaction at this location that produces dismal test results time after time, day after day, week after week, regardless of indicated signal strength. Conversely, I know if I want to hit over 7 down and 1.5 or more up, all I have to do is at around 5am, go stand in a particular location, and connect to good ol' CID102. BAM!!!! It's like crack (not that I know anything about using crack but metaphorically speaking).
I will also take issue with the radio firmware not making a difference. I have only used the OTA radio. However, when my friendly and awesome dev updates my ROM, it provides me a different (unmatched) RIL. I can certainly tell the difference, based upon my characterizations over time. It''s like "Wow, WTF is wrong here? At this location at this tower at this time of day my speed should not suck like this". Sure enough, the RIL is for a Euro radio. Match up the RIL to good ol' 79HM again, let it warm a little, and all is well.
One thing you do not want to ask me about with all these tests and characterizations is my battery life. It sucks due to all the testing .
Just my 0.02.

No worries. I get crap speeds during the day, but if I go out into my backyard at 2:00am and test then you would think I was hard wired into a modem or something. A lot of variables to take into consideration.

I know that there are so many variables so I would never question a 1 MB change, but to see that I was getting supposed .02Mbps most of the time was definitely concerning. I dont think anyone should have consistent .02 speeds with any variables other than a broken phone.
Im really happy that I narrowed it down to the app.
Out of curiosity, would you mind checking what radio and Ril you are using currently. Mike states with 5.1.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio. The matching Ril would be HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM. I am just curious to make sure what combination you have and to see if it actually flashed correctly.

No connectivity after trying new radios

Hi all,
Having a bit of a problem right now. I decided to take the jump and flash a custom ROM on my Thundebolt, and settled on GING3R3DTH3ORY V6.2 DKS Rom
In preparation for installing that I downloaded the new 627 radio. Went ahead and flashed it and then rebooted. After the phone launches I have no data or cell connectivity (I can connect to wifi for what that's worth).
Seeing problems I went ahead and tried the MR2.5 radio as well. Still no connectivity. Here are the pertinent entries in Software info:
Baseband Version: unknown
Build Number: 1.13.605.7 CL341545 release-keys
Software number: 1.13.605.7
PRI version: Not Ready
PRL version: Not Ready
ERI version: Not Ready
Running Adrenalyne's Control Freak 2.0 kernel (2.6.32.21)
Current ROM is rooted Stock.
I'd say perhaps it was a bad download, but two different kernels are having problems so I'm slightly concerned. MD5 of the downloaded file is correct.
Any help is appreciated!
Robert
I think 1.13.605.7 is the old radio. Where did you download the 627 MR2?
Was in the XDA thread for the ROM I'm planning to install:
[TH3ORYROM] [GB] GING3R3DTH3ORY V6.2 DreamKernel (DKS) [7/20/2011]
I went ahead and reflashed the radio from when I rooted the Stock ROM and it's working now. However, I'm at a quandry now and where I can get the updated radio from so I can flash the ROM.

I tried the link you sent me and the radio download might be bad b/c the md5 is "undefined" for me. Anyway, try this MD5 f38d27c32875778c9b586761d328a455 This is the file I used.
Let me know if it works for you.
EDIT: Baseband should say 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r if you have installed the OTA MR2 correctly.
So do I need to install MR2 before MR2.5? If so, that would be an issue as I went directly from the basic one to 627r.

So the naming is kinda funny and don't let that trick you. MR2.5 is actually older than this one i just gave you (MR2 627). My link is the most recent thing Verizon has put out.
Just in case you're wondering, here's the story. A radio was leaked to xda and ppl started calling it MR2. A few weeks later another leak came out and ppl called it MR2.5. Verizon or HTC rejected both of these and finally released an official radio version 627 that got sent to every thunderbolt. Now people are calling this 627 one the real MR2.
Thank you soooo much for explaining that. Yes, I was totally confused about what was what.
I'll give the one you linked to a try later when I get home.

I just don't get it! It again returned me the unknown baseband and other notices just like the one I started the thread with using the file you sent me the link on.
MD5 checksum matched OK. I loaded it on my microSD card and named it the correct name. Powered phone off and then held vol down while powering back up.
It boots into the white HBOOT screen and gives me:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] MDM9K
[2]RADIO_VZ
Do you want to start update?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
I select Yes and it starts the update, with a red progress bar along the upper right side while there's a pink Updating to the right of the items it is updating.
However, when the phone reboots there's no cell or data connection.
Sigh!!

Sounds like you put the radio on correctly. Have you already flashed the gingertheory rom in recovery?
I gave that a shot a little while ago. Looks like the rooted stock ROM couldn't handle the OTA radio as the Gingertheory gives me connectivity! STRANGENESS!! I actually ended up downloading the latest leaked radio by way of themikmik.com and Cingy51o, but I'm wondering now if the other stuff would've worked too.
Thanks for your help. Still playing around with the new ROM. Not sure I like the lock screen. May just flash to something else in a few days.

Question
I have tried a couple Rom's since rooting my TB. Got stuck a couple times in a boot loop. Do not know what went went wrong, but all has been good ever since... EXCEPT my LTE is weak and sometimes only 3g, couple times 1x. My radio is current and I have gone back to what I understand to my noob knowledge ROOTED MR2. My phone reads-
Android 2.2.1
Base 1.39.00.067r, 0.01.69.0625r
Kernal 2.6.32.21-g060a3a [email protected] #1
Build 1.70.605.0 CL343953 release keys
Software 1.70.605.0
Im still having these issues with my signal. I have read many threads and I thought well I use my LTE for everything... but i just looked only 12gb used and my cycle ends in a few days.. This because of possible throttle by VZW????? I called and asked them to read me in their contract where I as a valued customer would be throttled due to excessive LTE usage. She kinda chuckled and said there is no section and we do not restrict our customers unlike our competitors. I then asked about any know issues with TB's calling in from PHX. NONE
I'm a noob, but I know enough to play and have fun. Now.... Could I have fried something when it got stuck in the boot loop. The boot loop with white HTC screen occurred after a bad rom install on my part. It did it again when messing with DAS MAF settings. I was only able to get it back and running by HBOOT rooted RUU. any insight would help. Don't yell at me for being a NOOB if this problem is in another thread.. THANK YOU ALL... I live to learn new things and with everyone one here being so involved with their passions is AWSOME.. I need neighbors like YOU!
Couple things. First, I'd suggest a new thread as your issue isn't the same as mine and will probably be missed by most people.
Regarding speeds, it might be any of several issues. First is environment. Are the local towers actually upgraded to LTE already? I am in Albany, which is deep in the heart of the LTE San Francisco Bay Area. However, they're having issues with the city in upgrading towers so I bounce between 4g, 3g and 1x when sitting in my bedroom, but a few houses away I get awesome solid 4g!
If your ROM has the option to set which frequency to use (LTE Only vs CDMA/LTE, CDMA Only) try switching to LTE Only.
Did you cook your phone? Probably not. Most phones are a LOT more robust than people think they are. Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery and wipe cache andbDalvik Cache to see if that's helps.
Good Luck!!

Im still having these issues with my signal. I have read many threads and I thought well I use my LTE for everything... but i just looked only 12gb used and my cycle ends in a few days.. This because of possible throttle by VZW????? I called and asked them to read me in their contract where I as a valued customer would be throttled due to excessive LTE usage. She kinda chuckled and said there is no section and we do not restrict our customers unlike our competitors. I then asked about any know issues with TB's calling in from PHX. NONE
I'm a noob, but I know enough to play and have fun. Now.... Could I have fried something when it got stuck in the boot loop. The boot loop with white HTC screen occurred after a bad rom install on my part. It did it again when messing with DAS MAF settings. I was only able to get it back and running by HBOOT rooted RUU. any insight would help. Don't yell at me for being a NOOB if this problem is in another thread.. THANK YOU ALL... I live to learn new things and with everyone one here being so involved with their passions is AWSOME.. I need neighbors like YOU!
