hey guys....a nice little noob here.
So ive recently began reading up on upgrading my wizard to a nice wm6 rom. im interested in a stable touch rom, ive narrowed it down to a couple (mostly TNT, OCTAIVOI and NBD). ive read a couple of posts mentioning a specific rom using a specific radio, to insure stablitity. I want the bling in my phone but with most stability i can get. So overall this confused me a little bit. i ran a search and couldnt find anything.
the question is: im assuming when you flash a rom, theres a radio included in it. but when people use a specific radio, how is that done. Do they flash the radio after the rom or vice versa?
heres an example. i looked at the TNT.1933, it is mentioned that 2.19.11 UK is the most stable. is that radio included in the rom or is it a recommendation? if its not included how do you flash it?
Thanks for all the help !!

Hello welcome to the forums. Not all roms have a radio included. if you see in a rom thread that is "G4 safe" that means that it is only the OS. You can flash the radio whenever you want. i would suggest using the 2.19 radio. or the newest one 2.71 i think it is. i am currently running it with no problems.
reffering to what rom to put, i say try all of them until you stop at one that you like.
BUT FIRST, MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS CID UNLOCKED! otherwise, you won't be able to flash anything onto it.
Hope that helped.
Thank you so much for the advice TH. Very kind of you.
I was looking for an answer to that on the forum, but all i found was the actual radios to download. I dont really mind experimenting with my phone, and i plan on doing exactly what u recommended by trying them all out. I also have a prophet which i feel like updating because i dont have a keyboard on it, so it makes more sense to try a touch rom on it.
I unlocked my wizard, its a G3 it was very easy, so no issues there.
so I would flash a rom i like, and then flash the radio? if i flash another rom, do i lose the radio or does it stay on the phone?
thanks again

or you can try radio 2.40.11 (this is the radio from the official rom OS 5.2.318 build 15342 of MS):
Code:

Well that's sorta a tough question. Technically no. I think you mean if you flash for example TNT's ROM then you flash NBD's ROM. Then no, your radio would remain unchanged.
BUT... You should flash back to a stock ROM in between, and that WILL wipe your radio. What I do is flash to stock 8125 Cingular ROM from HTC's website. Then I flash the 3.08 IPL/SPL (only do this for G3 phones!!). Then I flash the OS ROM such as TNT or something. The last step is flashing a radio. I too have been using 2.71 lately. Seems to work well. My issues are more OS related lately as I have been learning to cook and always have one issue or another on my phone
cool. i'll look for 2.71, i have 2.19 right now.
i see ure using fido. Glad to see other canadians having fun with these.
im kind of annoyed though, just when i make up my mind on the rom i want, i cant find it. The NBD ftp seems to be down. my next step was the tnt i guess, any thoughts?
i basically want a nice rom, with touch and a decent amount of stability, of course with touch ive read that stability is usually an issue, but im sure there has to be one more stable then the other.

Have you been trying any of the different radios? I'm in the same boat as you - Fido user (Toronto), wondering which radio version would work best. If there are any other Fido Wizard users out here, would love to hear some feed-back!
When trying different radios, how do you evaluate which is the best? What are the key things to look for?
3.08
where can i find ipl/spl 3.08?

im running the tmobile 2.26 radio, i never flashed a different one after flashing nbd 8.3. I just flashed ipl/spl 3.08. So far everything is very smooth. no errors, missed called, sms errors for 3 straight days. and battery is very good as well.
Only issue i have with nbd is the fact that now everytime i send out an sms i get an sms in return saying the message was sent. im actually browsing the pages right now looking for a fix to that.
anyone have a solution?
helloooooooo?
where do i find IPL/SPL 3.08????????????

Markdam - Was this thread called "Secret Location of IPL/SPL 3.08"?
Two posts within 24 hours - talk about wanting instant gratification!
Yesterday evening, I flashed my Radio to 2.69.11
Reception seems possibly worse, but hard to gauge if this is due to the new radio, or the inconsistent signal strength that I seem to get in my bedroom. I'm also in the process of trying out various new apps, and it seems that something that I installed today is slurping my battery faster than before....

hi guys,
i've just rooted my dhd and done a radio s-off and installed revolutions 5.1.4.
my question is regarding flashing a new radio - if i do flash a new radio, how could i restore my stock radio for warranty purposes if i ever had to?
thanks

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.
hey guys when i flash a new rom is it crucial to flash the recommended radio? also how do i make sure i am flashing the right one. i dont want to get mixed up with my htc sensation and a tmobile version. How come only some roms suggest a specific radio and others say nothing thanks guys
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.
what If I install ICS OTA ROM ? Do I need to reinstall radio ?
next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?
or could you please send me a link of official htc ics rom ?
and could you please tell me cid of one of countries that they got ics already.
thanks

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.
I'm new the phone and had spent a lot of time reading, still not understand yet. Hope some can guide me. I have US T-Mobile carrier HTC One S and currently rooted and unlocked BL. What I don't get is, how do I know what is my Base version or where to look for in setting? I know my radio since I flashed the EU ration as listed on my sig but I did not flash RUU.exe.
Setting-about-software information-more
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Oh.. I'm using Unofficial AOKP JellyBean and there's no Software Info under setting--about.
not sure what you want
it should say 4.1.1 and your radio version
you won't see 2.31 etc
my question is how i know if i'm 2.31 etc? does it go by what radio version you flash?
for cm10 i believe so
