hi guys,
i've just rooted my dhd and done a radio s-off and installed revolutions 5.1.4.
my question is regarding flashing a new radio - if i do flash a new radio, how could i restore my stock radio for warranty purposes if i ever had to?
thanks

Make a note of it then check the DHD Development Forum radio thread to see if it's there in which case you can install it again.
But if going to stock you'd probably flash a stock RUU which unlike a custom ROM will contain the stock radio too.
Guys don't know if this is useful however I found that sometimes the radio which comes with the ROM isn't always the best one to use. For example with ARHD 2.2 I was using Mike's ROM with the official radio, and I found my device would often disconnect during calls.
I switched over to LeeDroid and his suggested radio, and this worked absolutely fine. So I then tried Mike's ROM again with the radio for Lee's ROM and it worked a treat.
I'm based in Italy and not sure if the ROMs are tested by the guys when developing in the UK, but I've found you can play around a bit.

I was running stock rooted ROM on my HTC Desire a while back, then I first flashed Oxygen 2.0.1, but I found bugs in it, so then I flashed Cyanogen, there's no marketplace in there, and now I'm utterly bugged with the bugs of these custom ROMs. I really need to get back to stock rooted ROM
Any genuine stock ROMs which I can flash? Also, if I need a different radio, then I need a link to download that radio and the procedure to flash the radio.
Current radio - 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
hey guys when i flash a new rom is it crucial to flash the recommended radio? also how do i make sure i am flashing the right one. i dont want to get mixed up with my htc sensation and a tmobile version. How come only some roms suggest a specific radio and others say nothing thanks guys
I can't post in the proper ROM subforum so I am posting my question here. I have been reading through this forum for sometime before I decided to root my device. I have rooted my device and installed [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.2 XE. I have used the suggested radio and noticed a major signal loss. My wife has the exact same phone hers is just stock not rooted. She constantly has full bars or around -80db - -85db. I am always around -101db - -105db. I keep reading that I can flash a new radio but I cannot figure out where to get one thats made for this rom. Any advice?
Reccomended radio that it says to use is:
Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
Thanks

that is the radio that is recommend for that rom going based on what u said.
Hi I am new to rooting and flashing roms ect.. Can you explain to me what a RUU is? Is it like what build the ROM is based off of?
ok guys im just got this device and i'm coming from the G2X and im confuse with every rom thread talked about radios. (yes i searched)
idk if you guys know but we dont use radios on the g2x!
and i dont really wanna brick my phone. ok i have the RevolutionHD 3.6.2 beats
and i have the radio that they talked about
right now im flashing roms to see witch one i really like but do i have to flash radios everytime i flash a rom?
and what the stock one?
thank you in advance
It's usually a good idea to not change Radio Firmware unless you have problems.
That said I don't understand the suggestion by for example ARHD to update to a specific radio version, but you'll definitely not need to change Radio Firmware for every new ROM. Once you have the latest and greatest you'll not need to change it anymore. (At least if you don't have problems)
great thanks for the quick reply. do you know witch one is the lates radio?
I am using ICS for 3 days.the reception is weeker than GB.my rom revolution 6.
who else have this problem ?
specially official ICS .do you have reception problem with offisial rom ?
it look likes its only my problem.so whay should I do for this problem ? any solution ?
Oftentimes the radio has a big factor on reception. If you flashed a new firmware package (which you undoubtedly did if you're running ICS now...) then chances are your radio file was overwritten. I would suggest digging through Google to find a radio file optimized for your carrier FOR ICS. You also want to make sure it only has a replacement radio and nothing else tagging along with it, otherwise you may have to reflash your ROM afterwards. Good luck to you!
thanks for reply.
what If I install ICS OTA ROM ? Do I need to reinstall radio ?
next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?
or could you please send me a link of official htc ics rom ?
and could you please tell me cid of one of countries that they got ics already.
thanks

The Radio comes with a firmware package as opposed to a ROM, so just flashing a ROM won't fix that.
Android Revolution HD is a very nice ROM, if you like the Sense UI and don't want to go for AOSP like OpenSensation/CyanogenMod 9 then ARHD is your best choice. The main difference is it gives you the latest version of everything as well as many tweaks and enhancements for it to run smoother. I don't have any links for plain unmodified HTC update packages.
As for the CID, you want to flash a Radio/Firmware based on the CID you have. The only exception is if you are SuperCID, but you still want to flash the one that matches YOUR carrier. Radios are all different. If you used Orange UK for example and I gave you a Radio for T-Mobile US it wouldn't help at all.
