That's really relative to where you are. I have heard most say the latest radio is great but remember to match the RIL file. Personally I have been getting more constant speed readings with the newest radio.
However I have heard that people have success with just older radio. So if the current radio you have works and happy with your current speed, then I wouldn't touch it. But you can try it out and always revert back if you don't like it .

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.32.40.11.09) for Sprint
Note: This radio is actually older than the newest one I have released however as explained below, different people get better results with different radios.
This is from Verizon's Desire. The verizon radios work better for a number of people.
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0d but will work on every Sprint 2.20.651.1 based rom
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
Different radios work differently depending on where you are in the country. You may actually get better performance out of another radio. Test them out.
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
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21

i flashed the other one today haha ...gueesss amd gonna flash this one too
thanks flipz
Dumb question, is DC 2.6 a Sprint 2.20.651.1 based ROM? I know 2.5 is, but I wasn't sure about the newest one.
Thanks for the radio Flipz!

Yea. DC 2.05 and 2.06 are the same rom.
Thanks Flipz, keep it up!
I'm running DarchLegend V5.0 and I just flashed this radio. For some reason my widgets couldn't access the internet and wouldn't refresh. The News and Weather widget just kept spinning on "loading". The internet browser worked fine though. Anyone else see this too on their non-Sprint based ROM? I had been running the newest Sprint radio that Flipz released last just fine.
GOnna give this a shot. Hell my reception sucks no matter where I am in my area. Damn Sprint lacks of towers.
So with this Radio, I get less bars but -85 where before I was getting more bars at -97...so it is btter right?
If the only way I can enter recovery is through adb (home+power send me to stock recovery) can I still install it or will it get caught in a bootloop?
How would a radio designed for a completely different phone make the Hero "more efficient"?
That has to be one of the zanier things that I've ever read.

Ok I'm confused I'm guessing this was just a typo but it says that the radio is from Verizon's Desire but they don't offer the Desire just the HTC Eris and HTC Incredible? I'm guessing you meant to put Eris not Desire but just thought I would double check.

The Eris's radio for the 2.1 leak was codenamed desire I believe.

All this is is a different radio for people who have trouble picking up good signal with their current radio. This is still going to connect you to sprint towers, it's just that it's a radio from the android 2.1 leak which was originally from the Eris. You're still connecting to sprint, just with a different radio.

Sorry for bumping this. But dies someone have this radio? I am trying to follow http://www.gsm4share.com/other-os-development/245-meid-repair-method-htc-hero-2-1-a.html this and could not find the files. I have moved on to other phones but pulled this little beauty from the closet and was trying to revive this.
Thanks for looking,

should be both radios you need, good luck!
Found a ROM I'm happy with. Energy 2.08 base 3.5 Sense rom.
I'm wondering what the best radio to use in the UK would be? I updated to the 10.58 radio ages ago and wouldn't risk going back to 10.56. Noticed today I'm only getting 3 bars of signal in a strong coverage area. T-Mobile. Use to get constant 5 bars easily so I'm wondering if its just a ROM and radio mismatch?

Hi,
The best radio is the one that works.
If you used to get a better signal with 10.56,then that is the best one for you.
You have to try a few radios before you find the right one,and test it on various ROMS.
You will eventually find the best combination of ROM/radio.
I'm getting confused with RILs too. Do they get applied when flashing a custom ROM? Because I've never updated those since using the gingerbread RUU months ago. I swear this stuff was more straightforward on the old Desire.

The RIL (Radio Interface Library) can be very important, it might just be that the RIL you are using has all the right instructions in it anyway for the radio you are using, I suggest you always flash the correct RIL for the Radio you are using.

what radio do you at&t users use for best signal/battery life? i know theres few of you, but id like to see some input. im using the recommended radio version for arhd sense 3.0 and its decent
I have a Vodafone sourced HTC Sensation XE and I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best radio to use with it.
I've tried the latest radio from the 33 firmware and the radio from the 32 firmware and didn't notice any major difference.
Just thought I would put this out to the forum to see what others thought.
Thanks
P.S. I did try searching but it came up with no results
Radio performance depends on your geographical location. So its goin to be different for everyone. If you're gettin good reception from the radio you have, stick with it, you'll unlikely find a better one.

Hi guys, i've got the radio included in the 2.21 update (1.06s), now that the 2.31 ruu has been posted i don't know if it's worth to update it to the latest (1.06es) or not (i use cm10 and have hboot 1.14 so i have to use the ruu to install the radio, it's a fairly long process).
What do you think?
If your signal and data are fine don't do anything.

i got 1 extra bar by upgrading by radio
I have used all the recent radios on CM10 and no difference. Also, some folks have had issues with the latest radio on CM10. The problems with having your hboot upgraded are not worth it. Unless, as mentioned, you have specific radio/wifi issues that dramatically impact your phone's perfomance.
Nope, never had issues with this radio, i'll stick with it, thanks!
I've never had great reception and I'm hoping that a radio change will help that.
I've had a total noob brain fart. How do I check for my HBOOT version?
I'm on T-Mo in the US. On the older radios, my connection would randomly drop, both WiFi and Data, then would come back within a few seconds. Very annoying when downloading files. With the newest radio, I have had no crashes at all. Battery life seems just a tad better for me as well. I recommend you update the radio. It is different for everyone. I only updated b/c it was easy for me as I have an older hboot.

And which are you running now? 2.21 or 2.31?
-Sent from my TMOUS HTC One S.-
-Stock/rooted 2.21 + 1.06s baseband-
-Hboot 1.06-
Had faster data download speeds with 2.21 radio compared to 2.31 radio, connection stability was about the same. I ran RUU on both times.
