I didn't want to change the radio firmware because its the firmware that came with the inspire 26.06.04.06_M. I updated RIL and afterwards the GPS gets a very solid lock fast 9 points. I now get 5 bars, I was getting 3 and the calls are more clear.
Please see this link here. I booted to recovery mounted /system and then ran the zip file update. Rebooted twice (I know what is the deal with the twice factor?) And, everything works great now.
I figure that updating to newer drivers is a lot safer than updating the radio firmware and I was correct.

Hey now I flashed it and my GPS locked in less than 5 seconds. Nice work

should we flash the RIL you posted if we are on gingerbread or froyo? Does it matter?? I assume its safe with any gingerbread rom since you are running one...
and to the others...all you really need from that post is the install steps, which couldn't be any easier to understand:
zikyHD said:
Installation: (Tks to siedkins )
1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Full nandroid back up
3. Select flash from SD card - select radio
4. Should get a notification to reboot to apply the radio flash
5. Once rebooted it will automatically take you back into recovery mode
6. Mount "/system"
7. Select flash from SD card - select RIL
8. Reboot once that has flashed and cross your fingers !!!

So buddy to install the new radio just put PDimage on root of SD and go into hboot and flash new radio?

choosing a radio is really by preference so the best advice i can give you is to experiment with a couple of radio's till you find 1 that works well for you thats what i did
it wouldn't make no sense for me to tell you to flash this radio or that radio because some radio's may work good for some & not for others ya digg
I meant no point of flashing a stock rom 2.2.1 radio when I'm using gingerbread eh?

This might be an easier way for some of you to do this.

This has a .zip you download that will include 3 files. The new Radio, already in a bootloader ready PD98IMG.zip file, a file called id10ts_ATT_Custom_ROM_Speed_Booster.zip (which is actually just the new RILs and the Prop Editor app (which can be removed) which is CWM flashable, the 3rd file (telephony.db) will not be needed for this process
Put these 2 files on your SD, boot to bootloader and install radio. Boot to Recovery and flash RIL. Done
On a side note - I have not been able to get GPS to lock for the life of me on the last 3 or 4 ROM/Radio combinations I've had installed. I've tried every single fix on these forums and nothing seemed to work. I was most recently running Android Revolution 5.1.3 (Gingerbread ROM) with the recommended GB radio. I flashed this new ATT radio, flashed the RIL, flashed the radio again, flashed the RIL again, and I appear to have GPS back. Finally.

bootloader.img and radio.img must be in your sdk\tools folder.
Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode
To flash the radio, use the fastboot command:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the radio
To flash the bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the bootloader
The new version numbers:
radio I9020XXKB1
bootloader I9020XXKA3
The versions that came with my phone:
radio I9020XXJK8
bootloader I9020XXJK1

also. if you haven't make sure you wipe dalvik/factory/cache to see if it would fix it.
its just difficult whether or not to say if your device is defective because you flashed a custom rom.
was it like this when you were on stock?
try flashing netarchy's 1.2.5 cm7 compatiable kernel as well
- Incorporate many updates from the newer 2.3.3 kernel sources,
including wifi driver updates, touchscreen updates, drivers for

you can but there is no fastboot for the old radio available. it might be in the 2.3.2 OTA and you can pick it out from there but im not sure if its there since there wasn't a radio change in 2.3.2.
There wouldn't really be a reason for me to go back though right? Also I would still be able to flash, things from the bootloader?

yes. flashing the updated bootloader is optional, but thats up to you. im not responsible for any bricks, i would just update both of them.
both of those two files are extracted from the 2.3.3 OTA.
there has been a great number of feedback that says that this radio definitely helps.
to figure out if your device is defective or not (it probably isnt).. return back to stock and see how it is. it could be based on your location since you are in a EDGE only area.
Thanks for your help. I put my sim in my G1 and it was even slower so I don't think it's my device
Edit:it was just like this when I restored back to stock

It's most likely your area then. If you could get a backup of the old radio, you could try the new radio and see which one is better performance.
So I tried to update to the latest Radio for ATT. I was getting a 2Mb up connection.
I tried getting the RIL for this as well via
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=YCU9JUCT
Once I flashed the RIL I'm lucky to get .55Mb up
Is there a way to remove the RIL? I've looked around and have yet to find a way. I've tried reflashing the radio and downgrading the the stock one...which got me 1Mb-ish. And then putting back on the newest ATT radio.
Help please!

The RIL is flashed separately from the radio. Typically you will get the best connections by having a matched set. If you want the newest radio and RIL for AT&T, click the top link in my sig and go to the second post. It has them in one zip file you can extract.
So run the radio as a PD98IMG through hboot and then flash the RIL? Just wanna make sure I'm doing it correctly.
Edit: So I went to the link and answered my own question. Thanks!
So I had the problem where I was not provided a locked APN. I chose menu and reset to default and it gave me the stock att one. And my speeds are worse then before.
Run a nandroid backup, then flash attn1's pd98img ROM. see if that changes anything.

Yep, easy as pie. I would recommend reading up on radios before you flash them. Sometimes the newest one isn't the best performing.
Yeah I'm back to stock. I couldn't find one that was recommended for cm7. And I get 3down and like 1.5 up or so. Can't complain. Its all a learning experience though.

Hello, I rooted my phone a little over a month ago, have ran several different ROMs and flashed a couple radio's, I recently installed WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES AT&T Inspire 4G ROM and now I can not seem to flash a new radio, yes S-off is off, SD card is mounted and USB debugging is on and the zip file is named PD98IMG . Even tried switching ROMs to RCMix.Energized and still can't flash a new radio.
When I go to HBoot and it starts to flash it says no image found, have even tried a different radio and still had the same result. Help the radio that I am using is not very good for my area and would really like to switch to a better radio for my area. On speed test have ave. on DL 1.73Mps and on upload .884Mps and the ping test is 111.5ms all with 5 separate tests. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that the zip file has the .txt file and the .img file and the file has no double extension .zip.zip
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Everything is proper, PD98IMG.zip file is named just that and and it has both files in it. I am getting the radios from the Inspire Radio Thread [OP Restructure 01-20-2012] on this site.
Try flasing a different radio to see what happens. I leave you the one I have been using to see if it works...it has for me of course
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/PD98IMG.zip
that radio is 12.41.60.19x_26.06.04.14_M...I have a couple that I have used in case you want a different one...

That's actually the one I last tried flashing, I am running 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M. Haven't tried any of Desire radios
That is the file that I flashed in my inspire, so give it a try so see if it works.

Thanks I really appreciate it.
So I got the HTC One S on launch day and it's been working fine but now it has an available system update which I'm not sure applies to me as I don't use wifi calling.
My phone is already rooted with the stock rom and I just fixed my CWM recovery installation.
I have had experience with flashing new roms with my old mytouch 3g slide but I want to make sure I get it right on this phone.
I bought a copy of titanium backup pro so I assume I should just use that to backup everything (except recent calls and texts, never figured that out but feel free to suggest an app for that...maybe built in google account?).
If I got it correct, this is what I plan to do:
1. Backup everything
2. Flash stock rom
3. Perform System /update
3. Re-root?
4. Flash LeeDroid
5. Restore apps
Let me know if that's right, or maybe I don't need to re-root? Or maybe root after installing LeeDroid?
You only really want it for the radio update. Roms come with new bases and there's no reason to update the hboot.
Check out the dev section for a way to update the radio while rooted.
However of you want to go the long way, you will have to
Back up
Relock the bootloader
Run the correct ruu
Run the update
Repeat the steps you have taken to unlock and root
Then restore etc...

Just update the radio. Takes a couple of minutes.
No point going through that whole process if you are going back to Leedroid!!
Thanks guys, it's just as simple as flashing the new radio from a zip file in cwm (like on my old mytouch slide), right? I'm gonna do a full backup and try out leedroid tomorrow.

I picked up a One S to keep me until my Nexus 4 arrives.
I love HTC phones OS but I hate the reception! I have had three HTC's, 3 Motorola, 1 Samsung and 1 LG in the last 6 months and the HTC have consistently been the worst for reception.
The current HTC, has this radio on it currently. 1.08ts.50.02.21_10.09c.50.04L. I am trying (unsuccessfully I might add) to flash a different radio (radio-0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L)
I have tried fastboot, with no success ( I can a have been able to use fastboot on this current phone without issues), I have tried from CWM and have tried with TWP without success.
Here is my setup.
CM 10 (nightly but the lastest, 10-20121108-nightly-ville)
HBoot 1.14.0004
Current radio (however while in fastboot usb mode the radio reads 1.09ts.50.02.04?, why would this be different)
You see by the picture it is dropping the signal consistently.
Any help would be appreciated.
