I flashed the recommended radio 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 a few days back and my question is my phone still says .00P instead of .00U. Any ideas as to why or what affect that has?
Thanks
Try to reflash it?

Hi,
It makes no difference,and there is no adverse affect.
I just flashed my Sensation with Revolution HD also and I'm curious about the Radio update.
It says 'recommended' but what exactly is different about this radio vs the stock one? I've read here and there that flashing the radio can be pretty dicey and is a large casue of bricked devices.
My phone seems to be operating fine now without the flash. I don't mind flashing it but I'd like to understand the differences first.

Hi,
To quote mike:
He strongly recommends the radio because
--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ------ You don't have to flash RIL files for recommended radio. It's already in the ROM ------ You would need S-OFF in order to do it properly
So, the radios are optimized for his roms.

It has no effect, they are exactly the same radio flashed.
The U vs P is a tag to determine which market the phone is for.
for example in Europe you'll generally have "U" here in the US on TMO we generally have "P".

Let me see if I can provide an easy explanation:
In the past there were often radio's specifically tweaked for the market they were releasing into for example a "Europe" and "US" radio.
The radio numbers are simply revision numbers in the evolution of the overall radio.
The more current radios are optimized and the preferred build for most of the newer ROMs because the Radio/IRL is optimized for the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 sensation builds.
The current radios may not be overly different in their individual changelogs but they are different in how the matching Radio/IRL interacts with the ROM in regards to call quality, power consumption and of course the Kernel. This is why a chef will recommend a radio with a ROM.
I've used various radios on the TMoUS Sensation and the most recent radio is by far the best performer in regards to call quality and power IMO. You've certainly got nothing to lose by upgrading and might gain the extras enabled by the more current ROMs mostly in the way of optimized performance.

The flashing process itself causes more issues than the radios. The best way is to ADB Fastboot flash radio radio.img.
In the past when radio's were matched to geo markets or specific rom builds this was more of an issue. If you follow the guidelines it's actually really easy. Just be sure you S-off before you try anything.

Don't mind,00P for the t-mobile version phone, you must have that one~~~

I am using T-Mobile sensation 4G. I have rooted the phone. I initially installed Android revolution version 6.5.3. I was very happy but last night I installed the latest Android revolution HD 6.6.3 XE. Kernel version is sense-faux 123-v005+. Build number: 3.32.401.5 CL309896.( Superswiped and flashed the ROM only). It works amazingly well.
I am presently using Radio:11.22.3504.07_M. I have looked at the forum and see that T-Mobile users have a better radio to flash. Can anyone provide me the link and MD5 check number and also can I flash new radio after flashing the new ROM as mentioned above??? Please help.
Also will flashing the T-Mobile radio will it make a difference?
I don't know where you found a post for a better TMOUS radio, but typically what you want to do is flash the rcdata and match your build prop...
This will instruct you on how to do just that:

There's a link on the first page of the ARHD thread that says "T Mobile users, flash THIS"
It gives you the tweaks you need. It's been a while since I did it, but as I recall it's a PM58IMg file so it's super easy to do.

Yes, but that's just a "Dish 2" rcdata image... You still need to edit the build.prop to change ro.ril.hsxpa values from 3 to 2... If not then you'll have unmatched values.
(something the OP in the main thread does not explain)
yes that is why i get confused.

I'm on 6.6.3 using the 3.32 firmware with a dish 2 setting. My baseband is: 11.693504.00u_11.22.3504.07_M
It looks like you're running the same radio. It was the same one included in the 3.30 firmware. Your RIL's with 6.6.3 will match.
There is no ICS TMOUS radio since the OTA has not been released. You can still flash the dish 2 rcdata.img and edit your build.prop as I suggested before and see if it makes any difference for you. If it doesn't then you can always flash the dish 3 rcdata.img and restore an original version of your build.prop.
Radio-wise, you're set until TMOUS releases their OTA...
That means I am good and not worth messing anymore

If you click on that link you'll see that it is not a radio, but rather the dish 2 rcdata.img in a PG58IMG.zip for flashing with the bootloader.
Look at post #4 of this thread and you'll see that I mentioned it was not very clear on the ARHD thread. Look at post #2 and you'll find the links for more information regarding TMOUS rcdata.

Flashed DISH2
I flashed DISH 2 few hours back but I think DISH3 was better as I saw-85db/m on DISh 3 where as _107db/m on DISH 2. Yes I changed the ril through build prop 2 after flashing DISH2. Do you think I did not flash it good and I have lower signal or is DISH3 better in my area? I live in Newark, NJ. Should I wait for a day and see if there is any improvement.

Can someone explain what the actual differences are between dish3 and dish2? It's almost sounding like people on virgin mobile ranting and raving about prl swaps and getting better reception.
Dish2 and 3 both are bad for my phone
I do not know which radio I had before i flashed the Dish2 and Dish3 tmobile radio. Both the times I also changed the build prop ro.ril to its respective radio. After i did I always had edge and never say H for mobile network. My data speeds are very low when using mobile connection. Any help of which radio I was using earlier when I flashed ARHD 6.5.3. Now I use 6.6.3

It's not the dish setting, it's the radio itself. You're using a european based radio because that's all that was available. There is now a Chinese version available, but TMOUS will be dropping their OTA any day now so just wait for that...
Did you flash the corresponding RIL for your radio?
Hey guys, I just loaded CleanROM 4.5 RC1 and loving it so far. I noticed my baseband version if 2.23.707 now....where before it was 1.85. That's the radio right? What's the difference? I assume 2.23 is better? is their even a newer one still or is that the best?
I'm pretty good with this ROM flashing stuff, but don't quite get radios and the differences. Anybody care to help a newb?
2.23.707
2.23 is the HTC ROM version.
The ROM is a combination of drivers, firmware, applications and the operating system itself.
2.23 includes:
Radio - 0.19as.32.09.09_L_10.104b.32.25L
hboot - 1.14
kernel - 3.0.8-01564
Android - 4.0.4
Newer firmware for adsp, wifi and a whole heap of applications etc.
The HTC ROM version doesn't mean much device to device. Eg a One XL versus a One S.
The 707 is the region. 707 in this case is for Singtel Singapore.
502 would mean AT&T USA
841 Telstra Australia
708 Hong Kong (not carrier branded)
631 Rogers Canada
etc.
For the version they tend to relate across all regions. But mean more when following for just that region.
2.23.707 was intended for Singtel Singapore which previously had 1.88.707.
1.89.841(Telstra) may or may not be an newer or an improvement over 1.88.707.

Find your original one from HERE and flash it
Your mistaken I think your build number probably changed from 185 to 223 your radio is the baseband line and 223 radio starts as 19as and is not included directly in the rom but is available in another post of scotts

There is no such thing as a 2.23 baseband. You need to go back and look at the info again. You are confuising baseband with build number.
2.23 is the software build and release keys. The baseband would be .19 or .18 or something like that.
There is no radio in my ROM. I would never do that. Thats reckless. And if I did do it it would be noted in the op.
Baseband is a lot differnt than softeware build number, lol

Mhm there's the man to clarify the issue himself
And oops the radio thread was someone else! Stock firmwares thread is indeed maintained by Scott tho
If you got 2.23 from HTC it would include all parts of 2.23. Custom roms may only include hand picked portions.
Eg most custom roms only use the os, apps and kernel but not any firmware, like radio etc.

Apologies, your right, I was looking at the wrong version. 2.23 is the build version, not baseband.
Question though: my baseband version 0.17.32.09.12. After flashing CleanROM 4.5 RC1, my phone constantly switches between H and G, and in the about>phone info, it goes from HSPA to HSPAP to UMTS. This doesn't seem normal...it never did this before. SHould I flash a different radio to go with this ROM? Sorry if this is going off on more of a custom ROM tangent!
I just flashed my phone with CM10 and it appears that the built in radio isn't there. Is there any extension/file that must be added to the flash? I could use TuneIn for when I have wifi, but most of the time I don't, so the built in radio was useful.
I've read a couple of threads already, but it isn't clear to me what needs to be done. Some say I should add some code, some say it's an extension and some say it's already there. Also if it's of any use, it's a S4 and I'm in Canada with Fido/Rogers.
Thanks

Download the .zip for AOSP ROMs from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270
Then flash the zip and choose the baseband radio you want. The radios there are the most common. You should be able to flash these radios regardless of the hboot you are using if you are using a CM10 base rom. Its OK to flash these radios even if you are in Canada (im on Bell in Toronto). The key is to try them out and see which one gives you the best reception (the newest ones are likely better). Dont worry, flashing these radios wont effect the underlying radio on your phone, as SENSE based roms (ie the stock version of ROMS on HTC One S use a different radio, and that radio version you would still find if you go onto your bootloader screen). You can only change that radio by downgrading your hboot.

How does one determine which radio should be used?
I haven't flashed radios back since it was mandatory with the Android Revolution ROM. I'm using CM10 now, and am going to be flashing Albinoman's CM10.1 soon here. Admittedly this is a bit greek to me, and I'd hate to break my phone flashing the wrong radio.

Hi,
You should try to install albino's ROM without changing anything,to begin with.
It may work well straight out of the box.
Only start changing radios and firmware if you have signal problems.
Firmware 3.33 and 3.32 Are virtually identical,and I think the radios are in fact the same.
What about the RILs? I never understood that part..

Hi,
Rils work with the radio to give you good signal for your area.
Rils are included in the ROM.
You can also go to the market and get an app called "GetRil"
This will check your radio/ril combination, and ensure you have the best match.

Hi,
It has been a while since I used albino's ROM.
People did report that Getril did not work too well with 4.2.2 ROMS.
I guess that has not changed.
On the up-side,the ril that was incorporated in albino's ROMS worked well for most people.
Are you having any signal problems?

Unfortunately yes, my signal is constantly fluctuating from 3 bars to no bars every 30 or so seconds. Can't receive calls unless I have three or more bars. Missing 90% of calls, unable to make outgoing calls at all.
Made the build.prop change for T-MOUS recommended in Albinoman's build - no improvement.

Hi,
The first question you asked was :
" How does one determine which radio should be used?"
The best radio is the one that works for you.
Was your signal good with your previous ROM?
The radio you have is 11.24
There is a later version HERE which is 11.29
If you had a good signal before,then it could just be the ril that you had in the previous ROM.
It may be possible to get that ril and use it on albino's ROM.
You could also ask about rils in the radio/ril thread.
Of course,you must be s-off to change any firmware or radio.
Flashed the latest radio, now I can't make or receive any phone calls whatsoever. Phone displays 2 bars, but as soon as I try to make a call, goes to zero.
Apparently if my Wi-Fi is on, it kills my Mobile Signal. Keeping Wi-Fi off is allowing me to make calls, for the moment.

The safest way is to get an app called GetRil from play store and check if your radio and ril are matched properly.
Try this first and then change your radio if it still isn't working.
You can get radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
You need to try radio/ril combinations till you get it right.
A lot of people have radio problems with albomanion Rom
