If you're on a gingerbread Rom, you flash a gingerbread radio. Otherwise you flash a Cingular radio.

You don't really, I would go look in the section for whatever rom you flashed. I'm assuming you did rc mix, and then flash a radio from someone who has that same rom and isn't having any problems with it. Thats your best bet.
I'm running Leedroid right now. Does have the best radio for ATT in the US?
Thanks

Sure, but you will understand it better if you read it your self. Basically flashing a radio can do a few things, one being to enable HSUPA, this can also be accomplished just by flashing certain roms. Also it helps with WIFI, calling(signal, speed etc) problems in some cases. This is all going to depend on which rom you have, the area, the cell provider(i'm assuming your all on ATT like me) and also it varies. I ran the "telus" radio for a long time with RC mix, but with the latest builds of the rom started having problems with the call not connecting when i pressed "call" and failing. I have since switched to the Cyanogen mod rom and am on the latest radio which is listed in my sig. This has improved call quality, battery life(from the rom and radio as a combo), and also call reliability(no dropped calls, calls failing etc) Hope that helps you guys
Is there away to go back to the stock radio if something goes wrong?
If you don't have problems with the stock radio then just stick with it. There's more risk than reward when flashing radio.

Yeah I have to agree. If you mess up somehow while flashing the radio, your phone will become a paper weight. If its not giving you problems, then no need to flash the radio.

Flashing the radio does not enable HSUPA on the Inspire 4G. From what I know, the Captivate requires to flash a different radio to enable HSUPA.
Editing the build.prop enables HSUPA.
modified from Kirk's old post
1. Download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BX5GV1CJ
this is a zip file containing two files. one is radio.img from ATT stock radio, dont touch the other file.
you need to remove this img file and replace with the Gingerbread radio.img
from here http://www.multiupload.com/BE0V4H8QQY
extract the radio.img and zip into the PD98IMG.zip with the other file already in the PD981img.zip. (two files)
2. Place the PD98IMG.zip radio file on the root of your SD card.
3. Power the phone off, remove and reinsert the battery.
4. Hold the volume button down and press power on.
5. The phone will boot into Hboot then Bootloader, It should see the PD98IMG.zip and ask if you want to apply the zip.
6. Use the volume up button to select "yes"
7. Once its done flashing, reboot the phone and you should have flashed the radio.

Credits go to you Kirk! thanks
your method can flash any radio
I think some of these rooting programs/routines like Bubby's root are causing the loss of hsupa. See my post here about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12828255&postcount=2961
I extracted the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file in the \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder from the hack kit. I opened it up in a hex editor and found the version - 26.03.02.26
You can download the radio in PD98IMG.zip form from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace
So now we just need someone whose HSUPA is not working to downgrade to this radio and see if HSUPA comes back. If it does, then you can flash to 26.06.04.14 or 26.08.03.07 from the same link above.
I am thinking you may be onto something..........
I flashed the downgrade radio. Upload speeds still slower than before I flashed the stock radio. Now I am going back to the radio I had before stock and see what happens.

Maybe you need to flash the downgraded kernel from the hack kit as well? Does anyone know if that would even work - flashing the downgraded kernel on top of a custom rom like cm7 or mui?

worst case scenario, wouldnt it just prevent android from booting up? if so, you could always put the correct kernel on the SD cad and reflash it from recovery right?
Per the hack kit thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
I believe the kernel he links to in there is the downgraded Telus kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=518730&d=1297824204
EDIT: I believe its the boot.img in the hack kit in he \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder as well.
Before I went back to stock I was Uploading @ 1.50Mbps. Went to stock radio because of the ROM I am on and my Upload speeds won't go over .30Mbps. Using the downgrade radio didn't help. It was a good idea.

I had the exact same issue. Like I said re-rooting fixed the issue for me. I was thinking that loading the downgraded radio would fix it, but maybe you need the downgraded kernel as well?
did you confirm it was the downgraded radio in "about phone"
Yeah, that was the first thing I did. Check to make sure the radio flashed correctly. I have to go put the kids in bed now. I am pretty bummed about my new slow upload speed.

There has to be an easier way. I can confirm that HSUPA came back for me after the downgrade, before I rooted or flashed another ROM. I've looked through the hack kit and what gets pushed to the phone during the downgrade, there's not a lot of files in there:
android-info.txt
boot.img
hboot_7230_0.85.0007_101011.nb0
radio.img
rcdata.img
recovery.img
splash1.nb0
splash2.nb0
system.img
tp_ACE_SYN3KT0108.img
tp_ACE_SYN3KW020B.img
tp_atmel224_20aa.img
tp_atmelc12_20aa.img
userdata.img
We've tried radio.img and that didn't do it, m next guess would be boot.img, which is the kernel if I'm not mistaken. I am not sure what all the other files do specifically.
I like your dedication. We'll figure this out...

So this guy claims to have fixed the HSUPA issue simply by reflashing the downgraded radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11847379&postcount=17
Maybe it's because he flashed radio.img directly instead of the PD98IMG.zip method?
I see we are still trying to figure this out???

For a quick test, can you reboot the phone again? I know when you edit build.prop, most people say it takes two reboots for it to take effect. Maybe just for the hell of it, reboot a second time and then try another speedtest? It's probably worth a try.

Thanks. I got mine working but it involved going through the hack kit and losing all my data and then having to re-root and all of that. I'd love to find out what part of the PD98IMG.zip file fixed the issue, so that hopefully people can flash just that and fix their issue without losing data, re-rooting, reflashing ROMs, etc.
I am half tempted to purposely break my HSUPA just to figure out the fix but I'm not feeling that masochistic just yet.
Right now I am back to the stock radio and looking into some things. I will be back in a bit, hopefully with some info.

Cool good luck. I wish I would have caught you in time to try the second reboot. Maybe you will be brave enough to reflash the downgraded radio and then also do the downgraded Telus kernel?
I am going to read up on what all of these files in PD98IMG.zip do. Maybe the answer is in one of those other files.
So after reading up on the files some more, I now believe it could be rcdata.img, which has something to do with controlling the radio. I opened it up in a text editor and its a small file that contains a handful of line:
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1
That's the entire file. What I posted there is the one from the downgraded radio in the hack kit. Maybe this file needs to be reflashed in conjunction with the downgraded radio? In theory you could open up the PD98IMG.zip file that you downloaded for the downgraded radio, and then add the rcdata.img from the hack kit to the PD98IMG.zip file, and then flash PD98IMG.zip and it should flash both the radio and the rcdata.
Alright, so I've had an htc sensation running on leedroid 3.10 for quite some time now. Recently it started to restart randomly, so I decided to upgrade my rom. So then I attempted to install insertcoin ICS, but I needed a new radio. So I chose one figuring it would work and now my device doesn't connect to internet or even my data. Whenever I try to install a different radio now to attampt fixing it, it says I have the wrong CID! I NEED my phone to work soon because i have a lot of important things to do that involve it!! Thanks for all help and please respond soon! FYI it says my radio is 10.11.9007.06_M2. Should I maybe reflash the hboot?
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, I've been searching for the solution for hours. I've never been more afraid of anything not working than this phone, and I can't afford a new phone, so please help!
BUMP! Please help I can't sleep because of this
Flash back to stock, do a little research and find the radio version that came with your phone. Flash it.
A lot of times, I've found, the problem with these new unofficial ports of ICS is that the radio doesn't work on them. So go back to stock radio and find a stable ROM to work with.

Thank you, but the same problem persists. I'm not sure what could even be the cause of this problem though. My exact step are to boot by holding vol down and power (im not sure what its called), and then it automatically attempts to install it, but then I get that error message. Afterward I attempted to install it by going to recovery and opening it as a zip file, and that failed just the same.

also is there anyway to install the radio while installing the stock firmware? Why can't you back up the radio anyway? And hwile I'm at it, what does CID even have to do with radio that it would cause these problems? Will location matter? I'm in NJ US.
As far I know you can't dual flash the radio and OS. Also, I think you'll be ok in NJ with a stock radio. Just as fine as you were before all this.
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

I'm thinking about upgrading my Thunderbolt from CM 7.1.1 to one of the Liquid ICS ROMs found on this board. I have a few reservations so I want to do this right. I know enough to be dangerous but I'm far from an expert so any help is appreciated.
First, what I did to get to where I am: I went from a Stock Gingerbread HTC Sense ROM to CM 7.1.1 following this how-to: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Thunderbolt:_Full_Update_Guide
To my knowledge, I've never flashed any radios and following that guide worked perfectly. The ROM is a little buggy but not bad. For the most part it works brilliantly and I love it.
However, as I said, I'd like to try Liquid ICS and my understanding is it requires you flash a radio. What I want to do is ensure that I can do a full Nandroid backup now so that in case I'm not a fan, I'm able to restore back.
Presumably that would involve flashing the radio that I'm currently using and then restoring from the Nandroid backup. Is that right?
If so, how do I find the current radio file? My baseband version looks odd to me, but maybe it isn't. It's listed as "1.39.00.0627r,0.01.69.0625r". The comma (seemingly separating two version #s?) is what is throwing me off.
Anyway, I really want to try ICS but I just want a method to get back to my current state if need be. How can I accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Find the 605.19 radio and flash in the bootloader by renaming it PG05IMG.zip. The file has to be on the root of your sd card for the bootloader to detect the radio. To go back to your old radio just download the one you had and flash it in the same manner. Radios aren't as simple to change back to as a Rom but once you know how to flash a radio its easy enough. Just remember to check the md5 sum of your radio after you download it and before you flash it. It will brick your phone if you flash a bad radio. Always rename the radio after you flash it or move it to another directory so that if you need to go into the bootloader it doesn't try to run the update again.

So my assumptions were correct. I need to flash the 605.19 radio to get to Liquid ICS.
How do I know which radio I have now? How do I find it? And the Nandroid restore will work after flashing back to the old radio?

You don't have to use that radio... It's only advised. If you want to flash liquid ics then go for it. If you have some data issues then try flashing the new radio. Make a nand of your current Rom of course in case there is something that you just can't stand. I would say that if the radio you are using now works fine for you then it should still work fine.

Ah gotcha. But still just in case- how do I find the radio file for what I currently have in case I do have to/wish to flash the 605.19 radio?

Yep you can always go back. Just download that radio and flash it the way I posted earlier. I don't know if you will have problems with your current radio but I imagine you're going to have data drops with them and liquid ics. They fixed the ril using the .19 radios so they seem to work better.

Makes sense. Okay, one last question- looking at the link you posted, it looks like I have two radios (at least it's two separate files on that link). Am I losing my mind?
No. They can be packaged together or separate. They can even be mixed or matched. It's usually better to use the same two though. If you do go back you will have to flash each one of those radios to get it back the way you are now. That is unless you can find someone that knows how to combine the two in a zip.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
So if I want both back- I can flash one zip and then the other and it'll have both?
