[Q] US,Europe, HTC roms & radio versions - HTC Sensation

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]

K im in mea on vodafobe netowrk updatrd to. 2.0.8 leaked europe rom which updated the baseband to 11.59

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.

Flash the official Desire HD gingerbread rom on our Inspire 4G?

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.

I've flashed Desire Rom's without any problems just use LeeDroid DHD to Inspire Patch to apply turboliniums tinny audio fix.

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?

Question about radio version?

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.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
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.

HTC Sensation - New ROM causing Radio issues

Hey I am new to rooting Android phones and ever since S-OFF and loading a custom ROM I am getting terrible signal stength, not receiving calls and having terrible reception making calls.
My question is what Radio and RIL should I use for Telstra Australia? or is there another possible problem/fix for this issue?
Phone: HTC Sensation Original Telstra
Custom ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.6.7 XE with Beats Audio
Android: ICS
Radio: 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M
I was running Gingerbread stock and had excellent signal almost all the time.

I don't have any problem with this ROM, but since I installed ARHD v6, I'm not getting good signal. Before flashing it, I had Gingerbread and ICS, and the signal was perfect... :S
Probably, changing the Radio and RIL fixed it, but I don't know which ones are better for your country.

The Telstra network is 850Mhz which might be the problem, I think.
It would be useful if perhaps someone with stock Vodafone ICS in Australia could post their radio version, because Vodafone also runs a 850Mhz network here.

Official ICS RUU, Radio upgrade, HBOOT upgrade

So, the official ICS RUU upgrade is here. I've had some experience with various custom ICS roms, and I found that I love Sense (3.6) and ICS.
Reading the prerequisites and other documentation got me thinking. I hope you guys can answer my questions, or some of them.
1. What does the ICS RUU have over custom ICS roms? I can't imagine anything, except for an updated radio perhaps?
This will help me determine whether I may get the ICS RUU or stay on a custom rom.
2. The prerequisite is having the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader. Plenty links and instructions for backupping and flashing that, that will work.
However, *why* is is necessary to update it? Something to do with the size of the ICS RUU, which leads me to believe that the HBOOT 2.00.2002 is much smaller than my current alpharev 6.98.1002 HBOOT. But AFAIK (in general) bootloaders are quite small..
3. Are the any advantages to the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader? Besides being to install the ICS RUU.
4. Since I'm thinking of updating other parts of my phone besides the OS itself (HBOOT, see point 2) I got thinking about the radio too.
My radio is version RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
I have very poor reception in some parts of the country where I regurarly am (many weekends per year). Updating to the latest official Radio may give me better reception. Updating to what HTC considers the best radio firmware seems like a good idea, right?
Is this the wrong forum to ask these questions?

Let's see... no need to go the X-Clip route to root your phone, just do an unlock and that's it.
You should do your research first as almost all has already been answered.
1. ICS that came out is official from HTC. That means its more stable, faster, and less buggy from their eyes. And may also be true if compared to other Custom ROMs. Its a matter of preference and ROM testing to see the differences.
2. The untouched ICS ROM also works for HBOOT v2.00.002 (came from Sense 3.0 release, Gingerbread). The HBOOT v2.02.002 (came from Sense 3.6 release, Ice Cream Sandwich) is an updated version of the latter. There maybe great changes, or maybe not. I have not seen any changelog from the net. Based on my experience, HBOOT from ICS does not want the System/Lib partition to be formatted via ROM flash from recovery. But the HBOOT from the GB can.
3. Not known yet. See number 2.
4. Yes and no. Yes, because HTC wants you to use the radio that is included from the RUU as they see fit that that is the best for its ROM. No, because some ROMs or its developers, same as HTC, prefers certain radios to be used, that is if you plan to use custom ROMs. Regarding your reception, the Desire S has already been found to have a lesser or weaker reception compared to other phones. Even older Nokia phones sometimes are better from it. Depends on your area as well.
