If you're not having any problems then there's no need to change your radio, unless you're just wanting to experiment. 26.06.06.30_M works very well with CM7 if that's what you're using now.

26.03.02.26 is what it is on. Is mine just a standard one? Should I put the other on

If you do wish to change the radio and Ril combination then check out this thread that I provided a link for. There is a lot of good information in it and you can grab the files from there. Just check MD5 sums before flashing.

Edit: I see Henrybravo caught that you are using a very old radio. Follow his suggestions and change the radio out using the radio thread files and instructions which are posted there.

Now that I see your radio version, I'm going to change my tune slightly. Your radio version is an older downgraded version leftover from the rooting process. It came with the first wave of DesireHD phones at the end of last year but never came with the Inspire (although it still works). I'd suggest putting 26.06.06.30 on your phone. It's the latest stock radio and works well with most ROMs. As Wolf_2 said, check out the radio forum.

I swear, this is the only "flaw" with the hack kit, and it's not the hack kits or Attn1's fault, and it's not really a flaw, more like an unfortunate side-effect for noobs.
This problem comes up so often for new people who root this phone.
They think they're done when they get to the end of the hack kit process, and then, low and behold, we get these threads saying "my signal/wifi sux," and when the baseband version comes to light, it's...you guessed it... 02.26
Most people figure out they have to flash a working rom, but enough people don't, to where these threads are a regular recurrence.

All my stuff works. Dont have any problems. Just wondering if it makes a diff if im on a another one. Just curious thats all. I read about them and know its user choice.

Sure.
Are you certain the file is named PD98IMG.zip?
Are you sure the file is located in the root of your SD card?

How can I root?

I have the HTC Inspire running stock 2.3.3
I have searched, and tried everything, but nothing is working. I have tried both methods available though ace-hack-kit-v12.3. I have also tried Bubby's one click GUI, as well as simple one click, super one click, and gingerbreak for good measure, and yet nothing seems to work.
ace hack kit works
Ace hack kit doesn't achieve downgrade, it hangs at sending zip file, and then on the alternate root meathod it reboots without downgrading.

If you're using 12.3 and downgrade method two, there is a small typo in the script. There was a new version of the script posted that should get you back in business. You need to just download the new script and put it in the folder where the original was.
The below one worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
I had the same problem as you allenrb2. I ran the Ace Hack Kit v12.3 and it would just freeze on step 2 when it is trying to install the zip file. To solve this problem, I just went on my other computer and ran the Ace Hack Kit from there. It went just fine no hanging at that zip file in step 2. So maybe doing it on a different computer will work for you, like it did for me.

The best radio is the one that works the best for you. Everyone has different experiences with radios depending on device, ROM, location. Best things to do. One go to the inspire radio thread and read what people have been using and experiment...flash a season and give it a couple days to see how it does then change if need be. OR secondly I would see if my ROM has a separate Q and A thread and go there for suggestions.

Thanks for the help guys, I flashed a radio, so I guess now I just give it a couple days to see if its all gravy now. I appreciate yous guys taking the time to help this noob out.
I recently switched from the Samsung Captivate, and everything seemed a lot easier with that phone.

[Q] I need help with rooting my Inspire

Hi there. I'm relatively new to Android, and i want to root my HTC Inspire. But i want to make sure i don't brick it or anything, so I've got a few questions about the hack kit.
1. the hack kit says i have to go to this specific gold card generating site, but the site has been down for a couple of days. I've found a program that would generate the goldcard for me, and its standalone from the web. would that be able to work?
2. when i read the manual, it says i have to install the stock ATT Radio, and gives me the path to a file, but i have no idea where to get the zip. In fact, i don't understand any of the option menu steps. could someone please help with that?
3. can somebody please give me to the link to a stable CM7 file, because i cant seem to find one...
4. there wouldn't happen to be a stable one click program that will do all this (perma-root, s-off, goldcard, everything) would there? Because that would make my day!
thank you!

1) you can try it. Somebody in the dhd section making gold cards with a similar tool.
2.you don't have to install the att radio though I would. It is already included in the hack kit you just have to run the optional menu. For other radios go to the radio thread in the Dev section.
3. Just install a nightly they are pretty stable at least for me. I recommend ninja as its based on cm7
4.no, but attn1 hack kit is really easy. It looks and sounds more daunting than it is. Its more like a 5click.

A radio not just specifically the att radio is what is used to pick up your signal for voice and data. During the rooting process we get downgraded inorder to gain soff. And applying the att radio gets you back to what we originally had. Though now their are newer radios for att. Radios depend on a lot of things what might work for me might now for you even if we are right next to each other. But generally any att radio should be good, but its not an exact science.
Nightlies are as the name implies nightly builds of cm7. Its Constantly being worked on that it changes so its not deemed stable. But for me and others it works fine as a daily driver

Typically any Official update will break #SU access and sometimes cause a serious headache in the process.
If you are rooted, do not apply the update. Just wait for a kitchen baked variant to be released.

The ones in the radio thread stickied in the development section are ok to flash. They are setup properly for root. Bluetooth definitely got some attention in this update. Much more stable connection than before, not perfect, but much better and livable.

maybe fixes visual voicemail bug?
For about 6 weeks I've been having issues with the stock visual voicemail app force-closing every time I tried to use it. I tried going into the app's settings area and clearing its data, then re-enabling it in the caller app, all to no avail.
I just installed this update and it looks like my VVM is working again, so I'm hoping this was indeed a known issue and was fixed.
(FTR, I'm not sure that a factory reset before the update wouldn't have fixed the problem, but I didn't feel like re-installing all my apps so I let it go and just used the old-school voicemail number for a while.)
Is there anyway possible for me to get the update because i had s-off and then i wanted to unroot but i used gfree so i had to use gfree and ran into a crap load of problems leaving me right now with s-off and no root permissions . i need to get a new mytouch because this one randomly restarts and i cant send in one with s-off... can anyone help me out?

Is there anything in this radio other than a new radio and new hboot?
I'm s-off via engineering bootloader, NOT gfree. Is it worth the trouble to use gfree so I can ruu and stay s-off, accept the update, then flash clockworkmod recovery via bootloader, then go back to cm7?

There is no problem in opening an exe file and seeing what's inside. The trouble comes when you flash this leak.

[Q] dumb question regarding porting

since our atrix 2 used only one referance in the build.prop for the radio and the new leaked sgII ics firmware also does and is already [email protected] is it posibul that it can be ported to our phone?
It doesn't matter how many references there are in the build.prop it has to be the same antenna. I don't think the sg2 has the same antenna as the Atrix 2.
ty I will now find what radio I was able to flash the other day while goofing around (was either one of the droids or the razr) and try to port that one ty

- A radio that WORKED
- That was designed for ICS

no not one for ics, but they already have ics roms that work for that one and it also works on the asian and our mb865 it is a little buggy as it does not like to turn the radio back on every once in a while after I put it in airplane mode and needs to be restarted as it tends to hang when it does that but over all it works very good
