I am doing my research trying to learn more about the phone before I jump into my first flash etc. In the process of this I am confused about the radio version on my phone.
Everything I have seen so far indicates that the radio on my phone is a Desire radio not a inspire radio. Did this happen when I used the ACE kit to root the phone, did it change my radio version?
This is on my phone now... 12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_M
.
That radio works fine on the Inspire with ATT. As a matter of fact, that is the Radio ATT included in the gingerbread update.

Okay, thanks.
I was confused because the Radio sticky Thread in the Dev section lists my radio version as being a Desire Radio and the most recent Inspire radio as being 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M? Since I have not flashed anything I was wondering how a Desire radio got on my Inspire but it sounds like the Radio sticky thread may not be correct?

The radio you are using is FOR for the Inspire 2.47 gingerbread ROM. It is in fact ALSO the radio for the telus desire HD Gingerbread Rom. No big deal at this moment. When you flash a new custom ROM it will tell you the radio that you should flash for it. Just flash the recommended radio so it matches the ril of your ROM. So if you are running the 2.47 ATT Gingerbread ROM then you do have the correct radio.
Edited for correctness.

HTC used the same radio for telus dhd and inspire gb roms. though they did include different rils. i believe telus came with ril 153 while inspire came with 160.
the OP did have a point, the latest one listed in the inspire radio thread is does not seem correct. The one listed actually belongs to build HTC Ace Gingerbread S KT-KR 2.52.1010.2. unless im wrong which is known to happen alot
Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M - Cingular_US_2.47.502.7
Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M - Telus DHD 2.43.661.1
Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M - HTC Ace Gingerbread S KT-KR 2.52.1010.2
OK, I think this is now correct. I apologize to biglittlegato as he was correct. The Radio thread does need updated as it doesn't even mention the Cingular (ATT) 2.47 Rom/radio.
im in a fix to flash latest ARHD ROM....but as i have the same OP's radio... do i need to flash recommended radio or i can use this stock radio with latest ROM??

As stated many many times all over this forum, you can use any radio you want. Everything may work well for you. And some things may not like gps connection for example. It is recommended to flash the recommended radio as it matches the ril in the devs thread. Best I can say is try it. But don't start posting that you have gps issues in the forum if you don't at least follow the dev's recommendations.

At&t hasnt even announced their plans to update the Inspire 4G and i was thinking, since the Desire HD is pretty much the exact same phone, can i flash the Desire HD official gingerbread rom? im asuming ill lose the 3g/4g capabilities but that can be solved by flashing the AT&t radio after i flash the update, right?

Radio firmware doesn't have to do with 2G/3G loss on the Inspire/DHD, it is the software in the the ROM (RIL combined with APN). If the ROM doesn't have the correct settings it will not have a data connection at all... Also, flashing a pure DHD ROM will cause major sound issues on your Inspire. I would just recommend using one of the 2.3 ROM's in the dev section, most of them are based on the official 2.3 release anyway.
You shouldn't have any problems, as long as you match your radio with the RIL and apply the dhd to inspire patch somewhere on these boards.

The thing is there's no stock 2.3.3 on these forums :/ , so the trouble is the ril, ive had no problems reactivaating the apn in the past

Use the steps in my method in development after flashing, it basically resets your radio to AT&T specs on any Sense-based ROM's. RIL, Radio, APN, telephony.db. All there.
Edit: make sure to to a rooted stock ROM, NOT THE RUU!!
Re-Edit - Use this one. It is pretty darned stock.
im getting more confused , the gingerbread roms on the inspire 4g development forums are based on the desire hd roms but already have the ril and the at&t raido and apn? or are jsut the desire hd roms and we have to flash the ril and the radio after we flash the rom?
And the screwed sound you mention is no sound AT ALL or the tiny audio?
Chad-
Slow down. Do some reading. Don't jump into it too fast and you will be fine. Read-Read-Read.
Chad, this as close to stock GB Sense as you can get. All you have to do is flash the rom nothing else. And your phone will actually think its an Inspire 4g not a Desire hd.

As a Tmobile user, did you flash a newer Radio with Android Revolution ROM 1.1.4 or kept the stock radio?
I also had to revert to the stock tmobile radio. data speeds are back up
i flashed it with the new android revolution rom
so the stock radio is 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15?

US,Europe and HTC(carrier independent) stock Roms are all regarding integrated specific packages, but what about the radio versions that vary in each ?
will it affect the device if i installed radio 2.08(europe) or 1.58(us) on my sensation 4G ?
and if am installing a custom roms which radio should be installed(if not recommended in the rom thread) ?
what will happen if i installed a US stock rom with Europe radio ?
also which is the best STOCK RUU ?? US,Europe or the HTC (Europe,Asia, carrier independent)

hey yacbos as far as i have seen a lot of the roms are EU based so the developer suggests the specific EU radio to be used with their rom ie 10.15.9035.x.x. a lot of US users have confirmed that the stock or TMOBU radio works better here in the US. i have used ARHD roms since rooting my Sen but have kept the original radio 10.14.9025.01_m and recieve better service using it. just look up the specific radio for ur area and flash the corresponding RIL with it.. there are posts in the development section with radio and RIL zips info. hope this helps a little can be confusing[ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200403 look under radios/U]

Just to chime in, I found the 10.15 radio + Ril 169 combo to give me the best combination of speed and reception on TMOUS here in Philadelphia after weeks of testing.
For some reason when i flash previous radio it doesnt apply

From another post it said that the baseband version you changed to is hidden behind the original. You would have to go settings>about phone>software information>more and the baseband version will be there.
Hope that helps.
I changed ROMs to aospX BR6 to try ICS. Really like the ROM so far. Only thing is that the Radio is showing 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M when I think it should be upgraded to 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M. Where do you download the new radio and RIL for Existz aospX rom and how do you install? Thanks.

The lattest at&t radio is several pages back. If you have a desire hd, well, find a desire hd radio.

I recommend .06.06.30 for aosp but either way go to radio thread linked in above post.

With Radios you will get different opinions on them, best thing to do is try them and see what works for you. what works good for me may not work good for you.
Does anyone know what the newest one is?
Also, do I need to flash a RIL along with the radio? Or just the radio?

Just the radio. The RIL is for EDIT: Sense ROMs, and I think it's not even necessary for JB (if there was a Sense JB ROM).
EDIT: found newest radio from marsdta in the radio thread linked above. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29605945&postcount=1015
But if the RIL is for non-sense ROMs, isn't Jellytime a non-sense rom?

Oops. RIL is for Sense ROMs. I edited my earlier post. Sorry about that.
a noob question
what does it matter to change radio, why do you change it? signal improvements maybe ?

Better battery and better signal mostly. Especially with sense ROMs certain rils work better with certain radios. Also some radios are not compatible with aosp or newer rils.
