Make a note of it then check the DHD Development Forum radio thread to see if it's there in which case you can install it again.
But if going to stock you'd probably flash a stock RUU which unlike a custom ROM will contain the stock radio too.

Guys don't know if this is useful however I found that sometimes the radio which comes with the ROM isn't always the best one to use. For example with ARHD 2.2 I was using Mike's ROM with the official radio, and I found my device would often disconnect during calls.
I switched over to LeeDroid and his suggested radio, and this worked absolutely fine. So I then tried Mike's ROM again with the radio for Lee's ROM and it worked a treat.
I'm based in Italy and not sure if the ROMs are tested by the guys when developing in the UK, but I've found you can play around a bit.

[Q] first htc phone need some advise with radio

ok guys im just got this device and i'm coming from the G2X and im confuse with every rom thread talked about radios. (yes i searched)
idk if you guys know but we dont use radios on the g2x!
and i dont really wanna brick my phone. ok i have the RevolutionHD 3.6.2 beats
and i have the radio that they talked about
right now im flashing roms to see witch one i really like but do i have to flash radios everytime i flash a rom?
and what the stock one?
thank you in advance

It's usually a good idea to not change Radio Firmware unless you have problems.
That said I don't understand the suggestion by for example ARHD to update to a specific radio version, but you'll definitely not need to change Radio Firmware for every new ROM. Once you have the latest and greatest you'll not need to change it anymore. (At least if you don't have problems)

great thanks for the quick reply. do you know witch one is the lates radio?

Please help..htc sensation rom

I cannot go into the development forum yet so i have to post here. first of all, the problem started like this
I was currently running REVOLUTION HD for sensation version 3.6.3. everything was fine, I believe I was running on stock radio also. I flashed 3.6.3 to 3.6.5 but did not like 3.6.5 because there were reboot issues. From here, I revert back to 3.6.3, but now the phone will not boot up past the HTC logo. In order to boot up to the phone, I have to go into restore and choose an earlier date, but that brings me back to being on version 3.6.1 which had lots of issues for me. I also just flashed my radio to the newest one on the REVOLUTION HD page and it is giving me the worst radio signals ever.
Could someone please help me..I would like to flash back to stock some how or be able to find the stock radio file and also be able to reflash the roms without boot freeze. THANKS

Have you read some of the guides in the development section like this one ?

[Q] Why am I able to install OrDroid rom only?

Hi every one, I have recently purchased an HTC Sensation XE. I have read and done all the tips several times regarding S-off, Super CID, Rooting. I have S-off and rooted the device. My CID 111111. I don't know why somehow I can only install OrDroid 1.6.1, and upgrade to OrDroid 1.6.2 only and no other ROMs. Could anyone possibly help me to see where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.

And some phones get.bootlop.bcoz. of the oc kernel make sure u get the one without oc

What firmware is in your bootloader? When you are flashing a rom and it requires a specific Firmware you will need to update that firmware to that roms requirements. First time Flashing also requires a full wipe. . There is a firmware thread in sensation development and how to's. Example.. If i want sense 3.6 rom or new 4.0 rom I would flash firmware 3.32. If your not sure how firmware flashes read up on it. It can cause bootloops if your not flashing the proper zips. Welcome to the world of SENSATION..

Hey pop did ya delete the firmware file you flashed right after you updated it into bootloader? Usually that PG58IMG which would be your firmware file zip should be deleted off your SDcard right after you bootloaded it. And also let me remind ya that even its a lower firmware like 3.24 or less it will have that same PG58IMG file name saved on your wherever downloaded too. So make sure your installing that correct PG58IMG firmware. Other than that ..try a step down from 3.32 and see if that works with the ARHD Rom.

Try the 3.30 firmware. If not just double check to see if you downloaded the right firmware 3.32. Like for me I'm a T-Mobile user so I had to download the T-Mobile version firmware.. hope that helps..

ics reception problem

I am using ICS for 3 days.the reception is weeker than GB.my rom revolution 6.
who else have this problem ?
specially official ICS .do you have reception problem with offisial rom ?

it look likes its only my problem.so whay should I do for this problem ? any solution ?

Oftentimes the radio has a big factor on reception. If you flashed a new firmware package (which you undoubtedly did if you're running ICS now...) then chances are your radio file was overwritten. I would suggest digging through Google to find a radio file optimized for your carrier FOR ICS. You also want to make sure it only has a replacement radio and nothing else tagging along with it, otherwise you may have to reflash your ROM afterwards. Good luck to you!

thanks for reply.

next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?

The Radio comes with a firmware package as opposed to a ROM, so just flashing a ROM won't fix that.
Android Revolution HD is a very nice ROM, if you like the Sense UI and don't want to go for AOSP like OpenSensation/CyanogenMod 9 then ARHD is your best choice. The main difference is it gives you the latest version of everything as well as many tweaks and enhancements for it to run smoother. I don't have any links for plain unmodified HTC update packages.
As for the CID, you want to flash a Radio/Firmware based on the CID you have. The only exception is if you are SuperCID, but you still want to flash the one that matches YOUR carrier. Radios are all different. If you used Orange UK for example and I gave you a Radio for T-Mobile US it wouldn't help at all.
