[Radio] Baseband 2.41.04.02.02 | For roms based on Eris dump

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.41.04.02.02) for Eris Dump Roms
Thanks to toast for the moral support and egging me on to flash this without knowing if it would kill my phone.
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Android 2.1 v2 by toast + flipz +community rom.
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
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
I wouldn't flash this unless you are on one of the Eris builds. If you are using Fresh 2.0b then you should get the radio that's newer than this.
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21

Seriously flipz, you are a rock star. Awesome work and thanks for all the amazing effort. Getting ready to try out the radio now!
Now get some sleep before you pass out

Go refresh the home page.

I'm on your 2.0b rom but somehow I'm still on the stock baseband. I flashed over the Gumbo 2.1 rom without flashing. Would it help to flash this update?
Nevermind, just saw your post.

Thanks Flipz. I thought I was running 2.0b but when I went and checked the radio, it said i was still running stock.
EDIT: Im gonna flash anyway. Will report.

This sounds nice. Is it safe to flash this to a phone that is running android 1.5?
BTW why is there one version for fresh 2.0b and one for eris? What goes wrong if you mix them up?

can this be flashed on a hero cmda running cm6 (froyo 2.2)?

yes it can...

CM7 or 2.3.4 Worth flashing?

I'm running CM7.0.2 at the moment, is it worth updating to Stock 2.3.4? Has anyone done this and enjoyed the result?
Not sure what else to say, really.

2.3.4 for CM7 is coming shortly, the latest kang is running on 2.3.4, only functionality that seems broken at the moment is WiFi. But the next nightly will be running 2.3.4

which radio

is there any advantage to updating my radio besides the fact that it works with more roms. I'm running blackhole 1.1 right now

Well so far the new radio locks faster, holds the signal longer, gps is way better, so why not install it yourself and test it, maybe you could come up with some more answers that you could them pass on to the next person.
Sent to you via my handheld cellular communications device

cool thanks for the great info. will the new radios work with all the older roms

MR2 works on both 2.2 and 2.3 roms. I havnt had any issues with either the leaked or final MR2 radios. Running BAMF 3.0 RC4.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

there is no which is the best radio anymore... install the latest OTA radio, it will work on any mr2 based rom.

only reason I asked was because people were having issues with the new leaked 2.5 radio and some people got bricked and I was trtig to avoid this

Mr2.5 doesn't exist. It was a canned Maintenance release by verzion almost a month ago. The Only radio now is the OTA. Baseband version 139.00.0627r.
It Comes from the Official verzion OTA 1.70 RUU that will be pushed to phones soon, some have already gotten it

[Q] GB Versions?

This may be a dumb question, but I'm good at those! What is the main difference in the different versions of GB? 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and 2.3.7? And then we have the JVU, JVT, JW1, etc.
I have been flashing ROMs for quite a while, 2 or more per week sometimes, but have never seen a real change in performance, battery life, etc. So what is really the biggest differences in these.
For me, Sensation 1.1 (2.3.4) is my all time "go-to". And I really don't see a drop at all from a 2.3.7 ROM.
Thanks to all the Devs for giving us there time and effort for all these ROMs.

2.3.4, 2.3.6, ect ....are firmware versions, updated the higher they go. UCKK1,2,4, UCKL2 are baseband firmware versions

I understand that, I was just wondering what the real difference is between them. Why is 2.3.6 better than 2.3.4? Just curious as to what the "improvements" are, to these newer versions

Fixes and improvments obviously, there not like apps and have to tell you what they were
Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!

I seem to remember 2.3.3 having random battery drain. other fixes could be stability fixes. its all minor changes. no new features.

Someone who knows more can correct me if I'm wrong.
I dont think there are any specific changes to each build.
As each build is release and errors are discovered, the newer builds are fixes for the older ones.
Froyo 2.2.x
GB 2.3.x
HC 3.0, HC 3.1 and 3.2
ICS 4.0x - maybe 4.1 if more bugs are discovered.
There are some tweaks and improvement from 2.2 to 2.3
From phone 2.2 to tablet 3.0
etc
The J series are prob similar..later letters mean later release...bug correction

ROMs with BUILT IN BB fix

The new BB can be tricky at times, there are certain ROM's that have the fix built in, or ROM's that claim to be made specifically for the new BB...this is where the confusion comes in.
So here are the ROM's that i've seen that already have the new BB incorporated:
-EB Build 4 (you choose which BB to flash during installation)
-[ROM][GB 2.3.7][v21y] Miui.us 6-7-12
-MokeeOS R.282
-Owain's (Build 79 will have new BB support)
So are there any other ROM's that you do NOT need to flash the BB fix? The new CM7.2 RC3 has the new BB supported within the ROM, correct?

Some more obvious ROM's that support new baseband
Stock 2.3.4 v21y
Kwes1020 Rooted Stock 2.3.4 v21y
BuRom SLIGHTLY Modded Stock 2.3.4 v21y
All Cyanogenmod versions since 7.2.0 RC3
Possibly the CM Nightly just before the May 26 RC3 version
Anything else if you use Owain's baseband fix...
I have used lots of the Cyanogenmod Nightlies because they can be dirty flashed from one update to the next. I also Nandroid back to BuRom or Stock 2.3.4 sometimes to help my wife :highfive: when she gets confused about something on her stock G2x.

It supports the March 2012 and July 2011 BB...unless Ricardo has updated to include the BBs from our Canadian neighbors...and would solve their calling issues they're having...

I bricked my phone the other day running some CPU stability test within the Mokee 2.3.7 ROM I listed above, something happened and the phone turned off, couldn't get power to come on no matter what. Luckily ADB still worked and I was able to get it going again using the flash.bat fix that takes v21e and turns it into a flashable ROM through ADB.
Either way, when I booted up the phone, I had 2.3.3, but still had v21y March 2012 listed under the baseband. I believe everything is good to go, I haven't flashed the v21y.kdz because I don't know if I actually need to.
I'm running Mokee again and his ROM states the new BB fix is incorporated with the ROM, i have no issues with signal and phone call audio so I guess everything is the way it should be.

Some ROM's work with either baseband???
I think I understand what you are getting at...
Do some ROM's (which ones?) operate fine regardless of the baseband? That's something that is not always clear from looking at changelogs. I am usually pretty careful about reading a ROM's description in its OP. We do really need an organized listing of what ROMs work on each baseband...
As for Cyanogenmod, I believe that the RC3 from May 26 only supports the March 2012 baseband. I think I read on another thread that all the CM7 versions that followed RC3 are supposed to be backward compatible with the old baseband as well. I also think I read that EB lets you chose your baseband during the install (Aroma??). Could it be that Mokee detects the baseband and adjusts to allow your cell radio to work with either baseband ?
I am going to look into this stuff some more...

The first Mokee build (about 2 weeks ago) had different ROM's for different basebands. The following build, which was like 5 days ago, stated that there will only be one ROM, but will work with either baseband. Eagles Blood ICS Build 4 makes you choose which baseband during flashing.
Mokee is the only one i've seen so far that lets you use either baseband, and have no problems.

just to be clear on Eaglesblood, you arent choosing which baseband to install, you are choosing which baseband you want the rom to support. if you have the new BB then you will want the built in support from EB, otherwise you cant use your phone as a phone unless you apply Owains fix (which can be applied to ANY rom)
as for CM7 i think all of the builds since CM7.2-RC3 support the new BB. CM7.2 just went stable a couple of days ago so all new nightlies would be 7.3??
also like i said, you can apply Owains fix to any rom to get it to work with the new BB. if you are not sure the rom you installed will work with the new BB on your phone, just make a call. if it doesnt work, then apply Owains fix. if it does, then the rom likely supports the new BB or you are still on the old one

would anyone know which V21Y roms having working BT calling? i know CM does not, therefore, since many roms are based on CM, many roms dont have working bt calling. i know Kwes's, burom, and stock all work though since they are based on stock rom.

owains fix is to support the new baseband, nothing to do with bluetooth
