I recently flashed ARHD 3.6.9 for HTC Sensation 4G. I also flashed the recommended radio version, "10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2," noted in the dev's thread. The odd thing that I am seeing is that when I checked the baseband version that I just installed, it lists it as 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2. Note the only difference is the P. Is this a problem? I don't know of a way to verify the version of the radio's image.
Not sure where I read it as it was a while ago, but no it doesn't matter, its the same. On a side note though when I first got my sensation I flashed the radio that was recommended and saw no change, flashed back to original and no change, now I don't bother flashing the radios as, at least for me I see no real benefit.

yea some wont see a change, but also check if the RIL matches your radio when flashing, sometimes that can be the issue when not seeing any change, i had to flash a new radio, and i realized when i flashed new radio for rom, the ril didt match so me flashing new radio was kinda pointless when i should have match the ril,
My RIL version is HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ. How do I check if this matches with my new radio? Thanks
I have been noticing that some dev gives out the radio image while others give a PG58IMG.zip for the radio. I understand how to flash the radio with the radio image, but for the PG58IMG.zip, do I just put it into the root of my SDcard and reboot into HBoot like how I would S-off my phone? Thanks

so i everything went fine using bubbys method to root my inspire, (thank you by the way) i have not done anything after rooting the phone, everything works fine, except the mobile network, the little symbol is still there and my phone says its connected to the mobile network, but when i goto use it it says connection dropped, i opened the internet browser and it took 20 min to load google, before i rooted this was an instant load no waiting, i had no problems with internet before i rooted my phone, i would appreciate any help and advice, thanks
Flash a different Rom. Gingerbeast is a good'n but be sure to make a nandroid first.
when making a nandroid, do i have to save it to my pc, or do i leave it on the phone, i would like to stay with this rom for a while if i could get the connection back to where its supposed to be, is the a radio that would fix this? anyone's help would be greatly appreciated

Nandroids are saved to your SD card.
The radio is not backed-up when doing a nandroid...meaning, it's not touched at all... Not backed-up, not restored either... The same radio will persist from ROM-to-rom, nandroid restore of a previous ROM, etc.
Trying different radios may or may not improve your situation. It's a very user-specific thing. Personal testing/experimentation is the only way to find out.
If you do decide to play around with radios, start with the inspire only radio thread in the dev section. Use that method outlined in post #1, and those flashable radio files, also in that first post.
any one already have this problem? i need help
i would like do go back to the OTA radio that i had before i rooted my phone, does any one know a safe way to do that, ive heard so much on this im over whelmed, some say my APN settings are to blame, some say its the radio, some say i just have to flash a different ROM, i want the stock rom with the ATT crap removed, but i also need my internet back to where it was, what do you guys think?, one time i had problems with my internet before i rooted, i called ATT and they had me read of some info from the about phone section of the settings and then they fixed it over the air, do you think i could get away with this?

So you're saying that before you rooted, you had actually received the new OTA update that "enabled the pseudo-4G," correct?
That radio and RIL is available from the "inspire only radio thread" by tribalartgod in the dev section.
here
It's the one that ends in "06.30_M" and is noted as the recent OTA. There's two choices, one with rcdata and one without. Rcdata is a file that was included with the ota, that is not critical for the radio to flash properly, but if you want a "pure" OTA radio experience, you should flash this one.
There are settings in that extra rcdata file that are related to that radio, though not much is known about what they actually do, ATT included it, so its probably a good idea to use that one, just in case. I did, and if you had done the OTA prior to rooting, you did to. So use the radio file with rcdata.
Just folllow the instructions in that thread, and you'll have that radio, as you did prior to rooting.
i did that dindent help
so i correctly applied both the radio and ril, and restarted twice and waited 30 min and my speed went fron 200kb to 600kb down and still at 90kb for up, what now, and what of these was i supposed to choose:
AT&T OTA Update - Released 04-29-2011

i used the ones in bold?
Hmm, I personally did not have this issue, but I also used a different method, but to fix this I would definitely attempt to do a full wipe and install a new rom. I highly recommend using the rom Android Revolution HD, but that's your choice. Hope this works!
im not haveing any luck
so i flashed a new rom and i love the rom everything is great except the moblie connection, same problem as with the last rom, i cant even load google or the market, it says im connected, i ran speedtest.net app, very poor results. 500down/90up, someone please help
Hi !
I have the ARHD 3.6.8 flashed on my Sensation.
There is a recommended radio for the custom ROM.
But in the guide it says phone must be ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF.
I know the phone is already S-OFF, but does the custom ROM also Radio S-OFF.
If not, how do i Radio S-OFF the sensation?
Nevermind guys. I just flashed the radio anyway and it worked !
Hey guys i was successful and i was able to install my 1st rom 3.6.8. I been trying to scheme through all the post and searching but can't seem to find an answer. It's says it's recommended to have the latest RIL 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio on the 1st post. However it also says not to flash radio since the ROM includes the recommended RIL, basically just need clarification and from the search i found some say if the stock radio is working prperly than leave it alone, my version currently running is 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and i believe everything is working fine, haven't really tested, been at the house all weekend : ). So, my question is, should i have to flash radio to 10.58? I'm TMob US by the way....

If youre stock radio is working, leave it at that for a bit. I am currently running 4.1.8 ARHD with the 10.58 radio and it is working alright - I wouldnt say great. I did upgrade to the newest radio 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16 a couple days ago to try it out and it was absolutely horrible for where I live. I will be flashing 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 today and testing that out to see if it works any better than 10.58 and I will let you know how it goes. I have TMO by the way.
Also, just a reminder when you want to flash a radio it is better to do it through ADB rather than the recovery you have. To do so:
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot flash radio radio.img
- radio removed
- new radio flashed
> fastboot reboot
I am having Serious Low signals with Sense 3.5 Roms... It's better with Sense 3.0..
I have tested almost all Roms of this Sensation Forum and my observation is the same ...
What's the reason?...
My Radio was the same latest 10.58 in all Roms i tried... Tried matching RIL but didn't work in Sense 3.5 Roms...
Any suggestions? Should i downgrade radio?

Hi,
The best radio its the one that works.
Never mind all the suggestions that say you must have this or that radio with this or that ROM.
The one that actually works with your phone in your area is the best one for you.
It is a good thing that you have tried all different roms.
Now try the different radios, and stick with the one that works.
Nothing happens downgrading Radios?
The method of copying to Sdcard Root directory and checking md5 before flashing is safe?

Hi,
If you downgrade your radio,and you get better signals,then, there is no problem.
I prefer to use the adb method.
I hear of fewer problems with adb.
The sd card root method,however, is easier to install.
The choice is yours.
i know the build.prop file contains settings for the network, i also had the same problem and check the build.prop and it said i was using the 10.58 ril and i didn't realize but when you flash the ril file in recovery that the system has to be mounted.

Pardon... I didn't get what u meant... You shared same problem as mine so i would request you to repeat what you said in more simple way which is easy to understand..
I would be curious to hear which radio is best for keeping the data connection as fast and responsive as possible when we have less than a full rack of bars.
I have T-Mobile USA and had some issues with the 10.58 Radio. I downgraded back to the stock 10.56 Radio and it seems to be a lot better - I am running the 4.1.8 ARHD with Sense 3.5.
Download the Radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and install via ADB
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash radio radio.img
- fastboot reboot
Then download the RIL HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ and flash via recovery.
Hopefully this works for you as well as it did for me!

What sort of issues did you have with the 10.58 radio?
@ jjdoctor, if your using a custom rom some roms are set up for EU..ect check the build.prop which is under system/build.prop (must be root) there are settings that are related to the network. take a build.prop from a stock rom and compare, also remember when you flash the ril in recovery you must mount the system first then flash the ril file. then flash your radio. there is no specific radio for a rom, dev's just say that cause they have a certain ril file install already for it. So just pick the radio that was from your stock ruu, which you can extract, get the ril file that is related to that radio, boot into recovery, mount the system, flash the ril, reboot into bootloader flash your radio and you should be set.

For me, I seemed to have a dropped signal, poor reception (on phone calls sounded like people were far away), signal would go in and out constantly - quickly would refresh but when you are a heavy user and signal goes in and out and interrupts what youre doing its very frustrating haha. Also, data speeds weren't as great. I am thinking of doing a speedtest result with 10.56 and 10.58 for everyone - but I really think it'd just apply to where I am (Colorado/New Mexico).
Hey guys, I just flashed the latest version or ARHD v3.6.9 and I have latest bricked kernel.
I'm still getting awful call quality when I'm taking to someone on the phone. Like static and strange background noise to a point where I can't hear the other person at all. Tried using the suggested radio then rolling back to 10.56 radio and still have problems. Could it possibly be because the person I was calling was on at&t? Any suggestions?
Running on a T-Mobile sensation with latest 3.6.9 and bricked kernel.
Anyon have suggestions?

How are your phone calls with other people (besides the one on AT&T)?
About radios, I am curious, where did you see the info on the suggested radio for T-Mobile? How did you flash your radio? Does a NANDROID backup save the radio also?
Thanks

It is under install instructions on the ROM thread. They suggest a 1.58. You can flash your radio by outing the .zip file on the root of your sdcard. When you boot into hotboot it automatically installs the package for you. No, a nandroid does not back up a radio, but it does not need to be backed up as it is separate from the android system. You keep the same radio even if you flash different ROM's.

yes. respond to my text or pm, please.
if you have have 10.56 radio make sure you also use the RIL 169, that's what i use and I'm tmoUSA as well w/ no problems
you can check the RIL you have by dl Terminal Emulator thru the market and then typing
su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
so 10.56 matches with ril .169!!!

Thank you. What ROM are you using? Because I just looked at the ril thread and apparently the 10.56/.169 radio/ril is for android 2.3.4 but I'm on IC which is 2.3.5. Does that matter because many have suggested to roll back or flash different radios..
9035.01 was the radio that was on it at all times (i've never flashed a different one). 169 is the matching ril. was it messing up when you first got it?
I'm using elegancia 2.3.5 Rom and using 10.56/ril 169.... I don't think it matters on the rom but folks do recommend u keep the same radio/ril u had originally...
Hope this helps
Hi, would appreciate some input as I'm pretty new with this.
I recently tried the ics Rom but didn't like it, so I reverted back to my 2.3.4 stock but now it seems the battery is running down very quickly. Could this b related to the firmware flashed for the ics?
I noticed hboot is now 1.23 and radio is 11.19.....even I did a wipe and restore the Nand I created b4 the firmware upgrade. So I guess restoring NAND doesn't include the firmware?
So I m wondering how would I go.about goin back to where it was b4...is the battery affected by the firmware?
Thx
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Generally when you flash any new ROM you should give it 2 full charge cycles before evaluating the battery usage. It has something to do with the "battery stats" needing to recalibrate.
However, I guess it could have something to do with flashing the new firmware. I would recommend though giving it some time and seeing if it levels out in a day or two. If it doesn't, then you know there may be some other issue.
Battery drain is one of those tricky subjects, cause any amount of apps can make a huge difference as well. There is a lot of general variance...
Anyways.
Hope I helped
It can also be attributed to GB roms having certain RIL files pertaining to 10.x radios. The ICS radio is 11.x, and no GB roms have RIL files for 11.x radios. That being said - if RIL files don't match the radio in question, battery life and performance can be bad.
I do believe you can keep the hboot 1.23 but you need to down grade that radio back to 10.56 or 10.59. The RIL file should be in ur nandroid backup for the older radio already so in theory that + 2 battery cycles and you should be good again. Theres a radio thread over in the development section. Install old radio and like mommy used to say 'dont forget to wipe' before a fresh restore. G'luck

Thx for the input. I do think it's related to the firmware update I flashed when trying to do the ICS. I've done a few cycles and the battery is still bad. I flashed the older firmware file (the one from the extracted dec tmous update), but it didn't change radio back and HBOOT is still 1.23. Guess I can try to just flash the radio.
If I run the RUU file, it will reset everything is that right? I'll lose root too? How about S-off and CW? And after installing RUU, can I do OTA update given the RUU file available is a lower software version.
Appreciate the clarification
Theres a radio flashing guide somewhere where you can download just the radio and flash it without losing root or rom data if done right. The firmare you flashed was taken out of the ICS RUUs just like the radios are taken out for flashing purposes. And so are flashed through the bootloader just like you did with firmware.
That old dec tmo firmware we had flashed didnt include a radio i think the packager left it out. All i think you did was redo the nand partitions back to the last GB setup so no harm there.
An RUU is a full package install. Partitions, hboot, recovery, radio, rom, the works. Everything we are talkin about here are just pieces of an RUU. So root and s-off should still be there unless u flash a whole RUU.

the first time I've flashed it was horrible, run out after not much usage in one day.
flashed oneics, and now hd 6.0.2 and it is looking good...
