Did you even look on these boards? There's a bunch of threads about the leaked radio already. It doesn't fix much anyway. I haven't noticed the slightest difference. GPS lock still takes forever.

Really? Did you think of looking in the forum called Android Development?

Here you go OP.

OP might need to hang out in a safe place after that...

At least the question was answered

Just for the OP, after doing the radio update my GPS works a hell of a lot better but thats basically it. Verizon is having some trouble with their network so if thats what you were hoping to have fix your SOL for now.

This also worked for me.

Can you install the official OTA update (that is supposed to be coming out any day) from Verizon if you are rooted?

mb i read it as tmobile didn't support 3g not the wing.
Yes the wing doesn't support 3g
Thats the only downfall of using a wing on at&t
I was using 03.08.09 and i had 0 problems with this radio its great. Recently though callers would experience a buzzing sound on their end, so i updated to the latest radio but the problem is still there.
Note with the new radio i notice maybe a 15% increase in signal strength
The purpose for this thread is to have the list of the Tmobile Wing's radio. If somebody can post it here then it would be very helpful to others.

Ya but now hes gone,
Im in the process of updating his rom with new apps and such and releasing it until he returns or if he returns
Ya i will miss Aserg.. His rom was the first rom i ever flashed.. I remember because i went outside every 2 min to smoke my cig well checking on my update lol.. It was nerve racking my first flash!!! lol!!! now i flash like i made the rom myself lol..
*Ok a few things with flashing radios.. I love them when they come as NBH so i can just throw the sucker in Flash Center and flash... But if it comes as os.nb.. Well you can flash it like you would using your sd card.. You have to have your sd formatted to fat32.. Which turned out to be easier then i thought... I was havin trouble at frist... When you have an NBH radio all you have to do is drop it in RUU but make sure it doesn't end up in ne other sub folders and you don't have an existing NBH in there. Now just flash like normal.. Well it might seem like your re flashing your rom your not.. Your just updating the radio image.. So you can have ne rom as you please as long as your Hard SPL's.. Then BAM!!.. lol.. All done.. I will the adventurous conquest in search of other radios...
If ne one needs help please ask.. I am more then willing to go out of my way to help.. fo_sho...
I am looking for the aserg radio, since the newer 2 radios give me problems i want to go back. I dont want to reflash the rom though. Would you happen to have it?
I found out aserg is now working on diamond roms he left the herald scene. I may ask him if i can update and release new versions of his rom.

[Radio] 04/04/10 | Baseband 2.42.00.03.10 | For Sprint 2.20.651.1 based roms

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.42.00.03.10) for Sprint
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0d but will work on every Sprint 2.20.651.1 based rom
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
Different radios work differently depending on where you are in the country. You may actually get better performance out of another radio. Test them out.
This won't fix any current problems with the 2.x roms, but it will make your phone more efficient
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone
Don't flash this unless you have a CDMA Hero
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21
Check this post for how to flash it: How To: Flash a Radio Update Sprint HTC Hero
DOWNLOAD: http://geekfor.me/downloads/radio-242000310
Appeciate all you do for my phone man! Probably a stupid question but does 'all 2.20 based roms' mean that radio number specifically or jus any above that?
Edit: Just answered my own question. 2.20 is the software number. DUHHH!
awesome Flipz!
would you personally recommend updating to this radio?
Cool! Is this much different from your last radio?
Gonna give it a shot.
Thanks!!!
flipzmode keep up the 'GREAT' work. We all have benefited from your tireless efforts and professionalism!!!
I haven't had the "GSM bug" on this radio where it drains your battery by searching for GSM towers. But I can't promise it will be the same for you.
Installing now. Seems to be stuck on "Formatting CACHE:..." Is this normal ?

If you can move up and down with your trackball, then you're not stuck, just reboot. Oh yea, did you follow directions?

Once it says that, just go to the top of the menu and reboot the phone. That's what I did and it worked fine.
Yes, I followed the directions, rebooted and all is good. Thanks.
Just a question... Flipz, did you accidentally post an old Radio? Because I just checked my phone, and it is a higher version that what is posted here... I have: 2.41.05.02.03.

These aren't changes or tweaks by me. If it was I would absolutely post everything I did to it and I would have a much better explanation that "it should work better." These are made by Sprint.

[dev] OTA_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.4-1.23.405.1_release_signed

Hi, today my g1 with my legend rom download this update.... any dev want to use it??
legend update
MD5: 2EC28B412FF142380B8148301EE2B046
or where I can find an "how to" to use it??
for not dev DO NOT FLASH!!! IT'S ONLY FOR HTC LEGEND!!
do i just flash this over your other legend rom?
no..it's not an update for my rom....but is an OTA update...
It's probably just the Market Update. The Legend Market was missing some apps. If it's an OTA, I would Flash it over in Recovery with No-Wipe.
patch updates
These patch updates can be a pain in the arse.. so far the only way I've found to use them is to modify the updater-script to bypass the security checks, and make sure its not "updating" or changing something I don't want it to, resign, and apply the update. Than once its done pull the nand image off the phone, unpack it, convert it to an update.zip so the rest of the world can enjoy.. maybe there's a better way but that's the best I can offer.
does this help in any way?
i mean... there are .p files in it. probably patching the original ones... anybody knows how to apply it?

Dude.. one post up. I just told you.
I did this back when cupcake got its crc patch ota update I just didn't share it with the world.. enomther did.
The OTA is actually for upgrades to the system which is going to allow for better performance with the use of certain apps. Some apps will also be upgraded as well.
I received the OTA today, and that what was suggested in the message I received.
However the download failed to install to my SDcard. Instead my phone automatically went into recovery, and just rebooted from there.
I'm still receiving the option to update via OTA. I just check off "Install Later".
If this is only for the Legend how come it's in a thread for the G1 Delsa. I got confused for a minute...lol...

This is good because we don't have to extract an RUU anymore, unfortunately the apps are odexed.
Nevermind, this is useless. It's just a whole bunch of patch (.p) files... pointless. move on people, or get to work extracting the RUU (find in legend forums)

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.6_signed_release.exe

Here is a new Sprint Hero 2.1 RUU (NOT ROM).
Enjoy.
per request- This will remove ROOT if you already have it.
RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.6_signed_release.exe
RUU, not rom, Please warn people that this will remove the root exploit if they run it as well.
Only reason we can possibly think of for posting this AND not expalining the results of running it, is YOU may wish to sit back and LOL at those who run this and can't get ROOT again?
And IF you have been reading the forums here, there are threads about this already posted and being discussed at length.
I call bs/troll.
i do not have a device to run it, so i have no idea, what the results would or wouldn't be.
so that is why. but who knows.
You guys are right, you are the ones that are using the device and everything else.
So where can I find 2.27.651.5.exe? so I can restore one and Root it? since
the one above, 2.27.651.6, cant b rooted again
