4.5.608 - Droid 2 Global General

hi guys,
anyone here tried the new update?
will the custom radio still works when this update is made?
thanks.

Not development, this goes in general.
Yes, I have tried 4.5.608. It fixes a few encryption errors, and not much else besides that. It will not harm your phone in any way such as a new bootloader. The custom radio should still work, motorolas gingerbread update never affected the radio, only the 2.4.330 had a new radio.img

607 and 608 also have new radio. Much better radio than 330 I'd say. 608 has newer radio than 607.

sorry for posting it here.
thanks for the replies!

Is updating the Radio on RC8 Recommended?

I've got JF 1.41 RC8, can I update the radio and if so are they any drawbacks/improvements I should be aware of?
I've been searching the forum but not really finding much info regarding RC8 (I'm unlocked, not on T-Mo AND roaming so I'd rather not risk RC33 and the horror stories about txt message charges)
Pretty sure the radio update is for RC33 only at the moment, and that there is a different update for RC9, which I hope gets rolled out properly very soon.
I have installed the radio update, and although I Haven't noticed any particular improvements, I haven't had any problems either

If a US phone can run RC9 without reflashing the radio to the EU version, that means there's no difference between them.
Granted, they could be doing something funky like hard coding in different radios for all firmwares, and RC9 doesn't have the RC33 radio update included in the code... but that is highly unlikely.
Just flash it, I very highly doubt it won't work. And if it doesn't, that's what the NBH is for.
How do you go about flashing the radio update if you already have JF's RC33 installed?
Thanks, if its no sig diff I'll just wait. I'm really waiting for the bluetooth stack to be updated ala 'cupcake' in an official capacity.

I've downloaded it, the version is: 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30
I haven't tried it yet. But to answer your question, yes it is older but it is Orange specific which I assume gets around the network locking issue with some other radio versions? I'm interested to hear peoples experiences with this as my Desire is on Orange.

Testing it right now, it works, can't say more atm...i gotta make a couple phone calls, so i'll report later
THX, could you upload the matching RIL also, please?
Well, no as I'm not on Orange and have no idea what to look for in the OTA file...someone else can do that

Ah sorry my bad i didnt see the "orange" bit funny i simlocked my orange desire but when i rooted and flashed my brothers his didnt simlock when i updated his radio with the same one.......
Could someone tell me if every radio has a corresponding RIL. I keep hearing about RIL, but never see them available to flash.
I've just been grabbing radio files (like those on this thread) and flashing them. I've never flashed a RIL - is this bad?

some say the RIL helps make a rom work better with the radio, however its a "newish" thing to do.
I have had nothing but issues when flashign RIL's so I now am just back to flashing radios like I always used to.
Nobody tested this Radio for 5 days? OK, I'll do it :/
Is this for Orange phone only? Would like to try it on my desire if it's not..
I have been using it for a few days and it seems ok to me! Can't really comment on the battery life as I have overclocked by phone since then!
Run it on OD 4.0.34 for 36 hours. Seems OK. But one of the incoming calls, my friend couldn't hear me at all at the full bar -56dBM 2G network, and he sounded like tin voice to me. Called him back in 10 sec, same situation. So, no love...sorry. Then tried it on OD 4.0.36, keep losing connection somehow on various place with 2G...
[Oct 23, 2010] EDIT: Confirmed this radio is on par with the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 in term of sound quality and GPS. Stable.
I'm confused.
My phone's CID is Orange-related, but it's sim-unlocked.
- Will this radio simlock my device back?
- Do I need to use this radio only on orange france (or wherever the phone is originally from)?
Radios are not rom related, this is simply the radio that orange were using in their last OTA, you don't need a orange phone to run it and no it won't sim lock you.
errr anyone?
Thanks for doing this! Was looking for it - I'll test it now...
I tested this for a while and had no issues. Tried a couple of custom 2.2 ROMS with it and also had no issues.
As I knew I could flash back to it, I tried the radio that most chefs recommend with their 2.2 ROMS - It worked and I DIDN'T get SIM locked....
So I'm now using that! Not sure if I wouldn't have got SIM locked anyway, or if this somehow bypasses it...?

Radio

Hey everyone, i am very new to this, and ive been looking for the stock radio that the phone brought since i am rooted and with rom Android Revolution HD™ 3.6 with recommended radio. But ever since i flashed the recommended radio, my phone has been slow, so i want to go back to stock. Since i read that the radio needs to be compatible with RIL files, i get confused and scared that i might brick my phone, so if anyone can link me to the radio with the RIL ill be very appreciated. Thanks, i am on TMOUS.

Hi,
As far as I know,the radio is not going to speed up/slow down your phone.
If you are worried about bricking your phone,you should not really be chopping and changing the radio.
Look at other areas,like apps,mods,kernels or even Sense that might be slowing things down.

[Q] What firmware does new OTA contain?

So the latest OTA contains a new Hboot, radio and ROM but is there anything else worth having in the package (e.g. kernal, radio RIL files, etc).
I'm happy with stock but need root. The only way to get close to stock is to individually flash the Hboot, radio and rooted ROM from the realeases on the forum but I can't tell if there is anything else worth having to get close to the OTA release which HTC originally intended.
Hopefully not a stupid question.
Many thanks,
Damian

Any way to flash radio on 2.20 from ATT after unlock?

Hey guys, I was updated to the ATT 2.20 which I guess included the 1.14 hboot and have now rooted through the new technique with a custom rom. However I have found that the radio was not updated along with the rom and the radio thread states that I cannot update with the ATT 2.20. I personally do not care much but my problem is that my phone regularly reboots by itself in standby and it also freezes very often when someone calls in. I am pretty sure most my problems are related to the radio.
Is there any way to update the radio with the new hboot? If so could you please point me in the right direction? And I am running the Venom rom and flashed the kernel separately through fastboot.
My process was similar:
screwed up rooting on 1.85, forced into 2.20, rooted recently with new exploit.
except i chose cleanROM.
and i don't have any of those problems.

Can you not flash the radio through fastboot?
i personally like the radio that comes with 2.20. i flashed the 2.40 cm10 flashable and didn't notice a difference.
I also had a nasty problem with freezing/reboots when trying to answer incoming calls. Only way it wouldn't freeze was running stock software. I'm on 2.20 with 1.14 hboot. Every sense rom I tried caused the issue. Finally flashed over to CM10, a couple small issues but at least I can make and receive calls.
This is the first thread I've found where someone had the same issue as me, I swapped the first phone I got out for a new one thinking it was defective. :-\
