[Q] how to flash back to stock radio on android phone - HTC Sensation

hi i am new to android platform, so i am really confuse about fewthings. hope u guys will be able to help me out.
i am installing a eagleblood 2.3.4 custom rom, and they recommend to install new radio (baseband). so i just want to know if i want to go back to my stock radio how do i do that. and how to back up my current radio

go to the radio thread in the Dev section and find your radio there, there is no way to back your radio up, but all known radios are in the radio thread for download, yours will be there

[Q] Stock Radio

Ive been using this radio and ive figured out that this radio is a failure, when i try to make a phone call, it disconnects right away, or when a person is trying to make a call to my phone, it doesnt reach to my phone.
Ive tested this many times and decided I want to go back to Stock Radio. I can't find the stock radio in this forum. Can anyone link me to the latest stock radio??
This is the one im using.....
Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.16.0.0)

1) What are RILs?
2) How do I find which radio version I am running on my sensation?

4) What is the relation between RILs and Radios?

Flashing radios and backups.

If you create a backup of your phone via clockwork, then flash a new radio and Rom. Then want to restore to the previous setup, do you have to flash the old radio.
How do I know which radio is current. I flashed one radio in my life on the incredible and want gingerbread sense 3.0 Rom but I'm paranoid.

Yes. You have to flash the old radio in hboot to get it back.
How do I know which one I currently have and there's no problem flashing back to a previous radio?

I have been reading good things about the .802 radio. I plan to install my 1st custom ROM along with this radio over the weekend.
Flashing radios on the Tbolt isn't as risky as it was on the dInc. I've flashed back and forth between newer and older radios 3 times in a day. It's a different process, but it's not that scary once you've done it. The link in my sig has instructions and links to all the radios.
Under About Phone/Software/More I have the following information:
Baseband version
1.48.00.0726w_2, 0.01.78.802w_3
I installed the new 802 radio to go with my NonS3ns3 (GB 2.11) ROM via by renaming
(802)PG05IMG.ZIP to PG05IMG.ZIP and installing it.
Did I update the CDMA and LTE radio or just CDMA? Is there a second file I need to install for the latest LTE radio?
EDIT: I little more reading on my part at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128 and I see that I have the latest CDMA and LTE radios from the 2.10.605.1 RUU
Curious if I should upgrade the CDMA radio to 1.48.00.0817 since its from the 2.11.605.0 RUU.
and I am still curious about the PRI info:
PRI Version is listed as:
1.41_002, 1.64.002
How is this information tied to the radio version?
Thanks for any guidance.

[Q] Neccessary to upgrade radio?

Hi there!
Have recently installed oxygen with tiamat kernel. (seems to be a nice ROM)
My hboot says:
Saga PVT Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.100.2
Radio-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC boot
I was thinking if flashing a new radio may help regarding stability and batterydrain problems? Or should I only flash radio if there is something more seriously wrong with the phone?
In the case its recommended to upgrade the radio, wich one should I use?
its only suggested to flash new radio if you have a real need to. As it flashes a critical part of the phone! I personally have upgraded to latest radio with no problems. If you do go ahead make sure you check the md5 sums match before flashing!
+1 only flash when you need to.
It may be useful though.
I upgraded to the new radio and now I get 3G in my area! Previously on the stock Radio that came with the phone, i only had 2G..

*quote everyone who answer on the "do i need a new radio?" question*
if u don't need it - don't do it!
usually it's not necessary to update your radio.
Thanks guys for the info, I will wait to update that radio!

thnx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes almost everyone would say it's not necessary to flash radio unless there's something wrong with the current one, because there's a risk of bricking your phone!
but still, i did it nevertheless because i could was new to the android community so i tried everything i could get my hands on =D
proceed with caution!!
problem solved.
but how can i return to s-on?!!!
its still s-off...
I would also like to know whether flashing new radio would help me. I recently switched to the new operator and I know have problems during a handover between GSM and UMTS during a call - connection often breaks. Would flashing a new radio? I`m currently using 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M

[Q] Sensation XE Radio question

Hi everyone!
I recently got a Sensation XE on Vodafone AU and as many of you know, there doesn't seem to be a RUU available for this device.. I've searched all over XDA and there's nothing
I want to try my hand at the latest ICS ROMs, but am a tad nervous about doing so seeing that I will have to flash to the latest firmware / radio and I don't have a RUU to bring me back to stock if something goes wrong..
The stock radio used by the phone is 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2.
I was wondering:
a) Would it be possible to do a backup of my radio using fastboot (I believe nandroid / CWM recovery doesn't backup radio); and
b) Will flashing the radio of the same version number on the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143) ... essentially bring me back to stock radio? Vodafone AU's Sensation XE supports the 850MHZ WCDMA/3G frequency .. will I lose this by flashing the radio from this thread? Is this thread only for Sensation or Sensation XE?
Sorry for the questions, I am really stuck!
Thanks!

a.) No, I don't think you can backup the radio.
b.) Yeah by flashing that radio you should be back to stock and it won't mess up your frequencies. Looks like the radio is for the Sensation and Sensation XE but do double check.
Before you go about installing ICS just do a nandroid of the stock ROM and keep it in a safe place.

k0zmic, thanks heaps for the reply! I really appreciate it, because I do want to have a crack at ICS, but am a little scared there's no fall back option for me atm lol ..
How do I check whether the radio is compatible with Sensation XE as well? I know that they are essentially the same phone, but apparently there are small differences like underclocking?

Hey dr3wster, I had a look in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
and the file factory directory (towards the bottom of the list) has a VodafoneAU ruu in there, I have downloaded and kept this safe for myself as I too have a Vodafone AU Sensation XE Handset.
Hope this helps.
