Advantage of Flashing the Radio?

Hi today i've my HTC Desire S S-off and Root and also loaded SAGA LBC MOD v0.5.2.
The question is should i flash the radio what are the advantages?if yes which one?
It's a little bit risky so i need your experience
i've found this link is the right image the one in the middle? i mean Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3
http:/ /lbc-mod-android-dev. de/radio-images/
im writing my phone specs:
Bootloader screen:
Saga PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3805.04.02.01_M
eMMC-boot
The settings in about phone> software :
20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M
build no:1.36.841.3 CL39875
Thank you very much

newer radio generally have a newer version of the drivers for wifi,your network,etc
so it may increase your battery life and give you better signal reception
but a newer version may not always be better because different radios perform differently in different regions
& also flashing a radio is more risky than flashing ROMs
so if you are fine with your current radio i would say dont replace it
but generally speaking most people say that they find the radio that you currently have to give them the best performance

Thank you for the information. I was worried about the wifi performence of the phone but i think the LBC mod will do the thing for that issue.

Can't succed on flashing the newest radio

I everyone, hope that I post my question in the good part of the forum!
I tried to follow the instructions on that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477 in order to flash the newest radio.
Currently my radio is 0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L but I'd like to flash the 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L one. I both tried with CWM and TWRP and the radio's flash process seems to be done correctly in the recovery (no errors) but when I go to settings>about phone it's still the old one...
I can't find what I'm doing wrong... I'm on Coldblooded CM10 rom (JB) and my hboot is 1.13
Hope you'll be able to answer my question!
:fingers-crossed:
Thx in advance.

From all reports around here, hboot 1.13 doesn't allow flashing the new radio separatly.
I am on the same hboot and can't flash it.
If you are desperate, go the superCID way.

I suppose you meant downgrade? upgrading hboot is possible via RUU or OTA which will also upgrade your radio.
Staying at an older hboot is preferred because you could access exploits like upgrading radio only.

in the dev-section football upload the RUU of 4.0.4 that update everything, radio and hboot. i tried yesterday and everything goes fine...now i've not no more the signal problem!

Ok so now I have a dilemma :
- Should I stay on my older Hboot 1.13
- Should I upgrade it to a new one to have the newest radio
...
The question is more like : Is the newest radio is really better than the one i currently have?
If some people have upgraded theirs can give some usefull answers.
NB : I'm on CM10 ROM now! (which is a very great rom except for the camera pb but I'm confident, the devs will find a solution!)

1.13 hboot does not differ much from 1.14.. but the newest radio did really a great job on solving the signal issue.

the new radio is awesome .

yup, hboot 1.13 and 1.14 are pretty much the same..i suggest you go get the new RUU..remember to supercid first, try to install it on HTC__001 but it failed..supercid does the trick

[Q] Call Cutouts, HELP!

So Ive been flashing ROMS for quite a while but in the past few months Ive experienced issues when calling. After about 1-2 mins my phone "hangs-up" or cuts out essentially. Im on the HTC sensation, O2, running the CyanogenMod10 ROM, as of yesterday and im still having the same problem, so i know its not the ROM
this is my current details when I go into recovery:
PYARMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.29.0000
RADIO 11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP V05.6.0.2226.00.0418
emmc boot
pretty sure im SuperCID
I looked up the app"GetRIL" to check that, it didnt match but downloaded the correct one which now is
RIL 4.0.0037HMQ[2]
Baseband 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Can anyone give me an idea if any of these arnt correct or why this is happening??
my heads fried trying to figure it out!!! HELP!!

[Q] I got 2 sensation, 1 keep restarting. both cm10, 1.27.1111 Hboot

Okay, there is my problem ***(SOLVED)***
I got 2 HTC sensation 4G, First, lets call it: Alt. Had a broken screen, I bought a new one wich we'll call : Main.
Alt came with Hboot 1.18, was rooted using Revolutionary tools. Main had Hboot 1.27 so i used juop tool.
When CM10 came up, I started flashing daily on Alt to wait for a stable, nearly bugfree version of J-B to install on Main. However i always had the same issue : force restart every 10sec or so. After a week or so, I decided to try on my Main even if Alt had trouble. It ran perfectly! Except the little bugs CM10 still had at those time, but no restart at all .Since then I found out that Alt has all the trouble in the world for running any J-B Rom. CM10 is somewhat stable now, but camera and video camera restart the phone, too much request after sleep ( feels like a ''panic'' when missing memory, like if new Govs, werent supported)
Now I Installed Juop Hboot 1.27.1111 on alt as well and the problem persist. I figure my problem is the Radio, wich is now the only firware difference between both. Any Ideas?
I am sick of reading about piece of papers and battery connectors, if your reply has anything to do with cleaning connectors, wedging something in my phone or changing batteries, please sont bother. I got 3 stock battery, the behavior is the same with anyone of those, and the connectors are clean, thank you.

Here are the bootloader screen Info :
Alt =juopunutbear=

HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_m

So, This : RADIO-11.24.3504.10_m, OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
Is what I can seem to find Anywhere... the only Ruu i can find for my carrier contains the RADIO-10.14.9035.01_m.

Just so you know, the problem with the connectors can be the phone, ever thought about that? Anyway, did it's screen break when it fell? If so, some internals might be messed up.

Sorry, I guess i wasnt clear enought. I should really point out that by : ''Since then I found out that Alt has all the trouble in the world for running any J-B Rom.'' I meant that every other GB and ICS rom was running perfectly with no restart.. Cm7 was running well for 5months, Only J-B roms shows this problem.
I am convinced that my problem is Firmware, and am only looking for a way to upgrade my Alt radio to the same as Main Or any other FIRMWARE related suggestion. I only created this thread because every others are suggesting physical trouble, play stay on Firmware topic.

Running ics you have two firmware choices 3.32 or 3.33. As for radios and ril I suggest you start with the generic ics radio and matching Ril file. Radio is flashed via pg58img, ril is flashed regularly. Do some experiment and see if that helps.

[Q] [Desire S] Revolutionary, S-OFF, need to update

Hey all. I posted this in the wrong forum by accident, so reposting here. Also, this may have been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find a thread quite like it!
I am currently running Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 on my HTC Desire S. I have used the Revolutionary method to S-OFF and root the phone, which allowed me to uninstall branded bloatware and add some interesting apps.
I have not been able to update the phone as quite frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, and the OTA update will brick the phone. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get the latest version of Android and HTC Sense?
I'm in the UK on the Three network. After doing an extensive search for the specific RUU matching that, I can't seem to find it unfortunately.
Many thanks for your time.

I'd suggest you just flash a custom sense rom from dev section, which is very easy to do. and a lot of those are better than the HTC ICS rom
If you really want to go back to stock HTC, follow this video guide, check video description for links
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X71RtQQjbqk
You can find 3 branded RUU here, at the bottom of the list
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Saga

Ahhh thanks so much for that list! There was a forum post I found with details on how to unroot, but all the links to the RUUs were dead. Does it matter which RUU I use so long as it's meant for the UK? I can't seem to find the one for Three network, unless it's under "H3G_UK"...

Is your phone branded? If not, just use the Europe ruu

Well it has a Three network splash screen and sadly it's still locked to the network, but other than that I don't think so

Yes that's the one

I'm very sorry to have to bump this, but I followed the instructions that I was given and ended up with the infamous Error [140].
While fastbooting, I now have:
***Security Warning***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-38.03.02.14_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011,14:58:38
And when I try to use the OTA update, it goes straight into this Fastboot screen. I literally have no idea what's going on now.

you must install the original RUU, which will remove all your data and install original ROM Android 2.3.3, recovery, hboot and radio
i suggest RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed-ORIGINAL.exe from here http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Saga
or you can put this zip on your sd card, and install it from bootloader: http://dfiles.eu/files/bh4avk6uz (easier method)

Thank you for your link and RUU file. I tried running the Europe RUU.exe, but came up with "Error 131: Customer ID error". Still the same information in the bootloader as before though.

Sorry to bump this again, does anyone have a fix?
Or would it be easier to root and s-off once more then flash a rom that was similar to stock?
