Flash the official Desire HD gingerbread rom on our Inspire 4G?

At&t hasnt even announced their plans to update the Inspire 4G and i was thinking, since the Desire HD is pretty much the exact same phone, can i flash the Desire HD official gingerbread rom? im asuming ill lose the 3g/4g capabilities but that can be solved by flashing the AT&t radio after i flash the update, right?

Radio firmware doesn't have to do with 2G/3G loss on the Inspire/DHD, it is the software in the the ROM (RIL combined with APN). If the ROM doesn't have the correct settings it will not have a data connection at all... Also, flashing a pure DHD ROM will cause major sound issues on your Inspire. I would just recommend using one of the 2.3 ROM's in the dev section, most of them are based on the official 2.3 release anyway.
You shouldn't have any problems, as long as you match your radio with the RIL and apply the dhd to inspire patch somewhere on these boards.

I've flashed Desire Rom's without any problems just use LeeDroid DHD to Inspire Patch to apply turboliniums tinny audio fix.

The thing is there's no stock 2.3.3 on these forums :/ , so the trouble is the ril, ive had no problems reactivaating the apn in the past

Use the steps in my method in development after flashing, it basically resets your radio to AT&T specs on any Sense-based ROM's. RIL, Radio, APN, telephony.db. All there.
Edit: make sure to to a rooted stock ROM, NOT THE RUU!!
Re-Edit - Use this one. It is pretty darned stock.
im getting more confused , the gingerbread roms on the inspire 4g development forums are based on the desire hd roms but already have the ril and the at&t raido and apn? or are jsut the desire hd roms and we have to flash the ril and the radio after we flash the rom?
And the screwed sound you mention is no sound AT ALL or the tiny audio?
Chad-
Slow down. Do some reading. Don't jump into it too fast and you will be fine. Read-Read-Read.
Chad, this as close to stock GB Sense as you can get. All you have to do is flash the rom nothing else. And your phone will actually think its an Inspire 4g not a Desire hd.

[Q] Inspire 4G/Desire HD kernel compatibilty

I just came from the HD2 so I'm still kinda new to the Inspire. With the HD2, each kernel was built from scratch specifically for the HD2 so there was never any question that a kernel from a different ROM would work. I know the Inspire and DHD are basically the same phone specification wise except for different audio drivers for the inspire, so my question is: Can I take any AOSP kernel for the DHD to flash directly to my Inspire running MIUI?
Yes I'm using lordmod on miui now

Thanks!! And I'm assuming I can do the same thing with ROM's also right?

Just try and see... Be sure to backup first.
I've had issues with some kernels not working quite right. The latest lordmod kernel i could not get to act right with Gingerbeast on my phone.
It's a trial by error. Some ROM's too.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes Nick is absolutely right. play around and see. every rom I have ever used from the dhd section has worked fine for me some just require you to flash an audio fix thats all. but yes for the most part all the dhd stuff is compatible. Just remember dont use an aosp kernel on a sense rom and vice versa
Cool, thanks guys. And I already made that mistake with the kernels. I tried flashing Leedroid kernel to the MIUI ROM. Everything booted up fine, but wifi gave an error when I tried to enable it. I think ill stick with lordmod anyway, since it seems to be the best all around. Thanks for the help.

you need to keep Sense kernels and AOSP/CM/MIUI kernels separated.

Question about radio version?

I am doing my research trying to learn more about the phone before I jump into my first flash etc. In the process of this I am confused about the radio version on my phone.
Everything I have seen so far indicates that the radio on my phone is a Desire radio not a inspire radio. Did this happen when I used the ACE kit to root the phone, did it change my radio version?
This is on my phone now... 12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_M
.
That radio works fine on the Inspire with ATT. As a matter of fact, that is the Radio ATT included in the gingerbread update.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
Okay, thanks.
I was confused because the Radio sticky Thread in the Dev section lists my radio version as being a Desire Radio and the most recent Inspire radio as being 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M? Since I have not flashed anything I was wondering how a Desire radio got on my Inspire but it sounds like the Radio sticky thread may not be correct?
.
The radio you are using is FOR for the Inspire 2.47 gingerbread ROM. It is in fact ALSO the radio for the telus desire HD Gingerbread Rom. No big deal at this moment. When you flash a new custom ROM it will tell you the radio that you should flash for it. Just flash the recommended radio so it matches the ril of your ROM. So if you are running the 2.47 ATT Gingerbread ROM then you do have the correct radio.
Edited for correctness.

HTC used the same radio for telus dhd and inspire gb roms. though they did include different rils. i believe telus came with ril 153 while inspire came with 160.
the OP did have a point, the latest one listed in the inspire radio thread is does not seem correct. The one listed actually belongs to build HTC Ace Gingerbread S KT-KR 2.52.1010.2. unless im wrong which is known to happen alot
Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M - Cingular_US_2.47.502.7
Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M - Telus DHD 2.43.661.1
Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M - HTC Ace Gingerbread S KT-KR 2.52.1010.2
OK, I think this is now correct. I apologize to biglittlegato as he was correct. The Radio thread does need updated as it doesn't even mention the Cingular (ATT) 2.47 Rom/radio.
im in a fix to flash latest ARHD ROM....but as i have the same OP's radio... do i need to flash recommended radio or i can use this stock radio with latest ROM??

As stated many many times all over this forum, you can use any radio you want. Everything may work well for you. And some things may not like gps connection for example. It is recommended to flash the recommended radio as it matches the ril in the devs thread. Best I can say is try it. But don't start posting that you have gps issues in the forum if you don't at least follow the dev's recommendations.

Dropping "4g" signal on VU and DARKSIDE 4.0

Well guys, so here is the issue, i had darkside and my phone just kept switching between the 4g, 3g, and 2g signal within seconds of the switch. Same goes with virtuous unity. I thought it might be the radio, so do you guys have any suggestions?
THANKS
P.S. i am on stock right now bc i found this problem so annoying
i'm on panache radio right now, no issues AT ALL
Stock?
So is that stock radio because thats what i am, do you have any suggestions on other radios?

Is there a possibility of bricking and what if it doesnt help? Do i revert back?
Ofcourse there is risk of bricking.. but if you do it the way its mentioned in the post you are good.. i change radios all the time..
If you are too scare to try changing the Radio then try the MIUI ROM.. Its the best I found for 4G signal on my phone.
If I help.. press the thanks button..

Top of the second post.
I believe a newer one is around somewhere, but that one works for me.

With Radios you will get different opinions on them, best thing to do is try them and see what works for you. what works good for me may not work good for you.
Does anyone know what the newest one is?
Also, do I need to flash a RIL along with the radio? Or just the radio?

Just the radio. The RIL is for EDIT: Sense ROMs, and I think it's not even necessary for JB (if there was a Sense JB ROM).
EDIT: found newest radio from marsdta in the radio thread linked above. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29605945&postcount=1015
But if the RIL is for non-sense ROMs, isn't Jellytime a non-sense rom?

Oops. RIL is for Sense ROMs. I edited my earlier post. Sorry about that.
a noob question
what does it matter to change radio, why do you change it? signal improvements maybe ?

Better battery and better signal mostly. Especially with sense ROMs certain rils work better with certain radios. Also some radios are not compatible with aosp or newer rils.
