Its not neccessary though unless the dev of the rom stated so...

Well for leedroid it's stated as recommended.
As it seems it's the stock radio for 2.3.4, so it's simply the one that would have been installed when flashing the stock 2.3.4?

Normally the rom itself dosent include the required radio therefore u need to flash the radio urself...
For 2.3.4, its best to flash the stock radio compatiable for it...its the radio version in my sig anyway...

[Q] Low or no signal on ARHD

hi!
im using ARHD 3.6.13 with the recommended radio.
i moved to a new house and now i get very low signal or no signal.
i thought it my cel company problem, but when i have friends or family come over and they use the same company they got full reception.
any ideas what i can do to fix this issue? change kernel? radio?
any help will be great
thank you!

any help here?

sorry for bumping but i really can use some help here

It is most probably a radio issue. What radio version are you using? And did you check if the corresponding RIL are flashed correctly?
What about wifi reception? Is it causing you trouble too?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda premium

wifi working great
im using the recommended radio which is suggested in the arhd topic.
is there something i can do to try and make this better?

The recommended radio is not always suitable for everyone. It depends on many factors like geographic location, network provider... I would suggest that you flash the radio that you were using before arhd and give it a try.

You must determine the radio that went with your old ROM (I assume stock). So look on the stock ROM index sticky in the development forum for your phone. Find out with stock RUU you would have (likely region/carrier related), and flash the radio that is meant for it.

i found the thread you are talking about.
i had a europe ruu , but there are too many files there with europe and radio.

Do you have a branded phone?

Can you post the link where you found the stock roms?

Issue Network after tried to installe a Rom for GS2

HI everyone,
I recently trie to put the ROM OAKP on my device HTC Sensation XE. THe setupd did'nt work, so I put a backup that I done. But now I can't call or send sms. I have "service Limited" on the phone. I tried to set up different ROMS (HD REVOLUTION, OrDroid) but I still occure the same probleme. I update the firmwire and the Radio, but nothing solve the problem
Does any one have a solution ?
Regards,
Edit___
After few search I found that the Rom which gave me trubl is a ROM for Galaxy S2
then, when I do simlock from the bootloader I have : MCCMNC file fail / CID file fail
I have alread flashed new radio (a lot), new firmware and new rom
I can't call or text but I have the data

I had lost my data about a week ago.
How I fixed mine was by using one of the generic ics (4.0.3) radio with matching RIL file. I know you said you tried radio and ril but if you don't get the correct radio and ril it won't work. Have you tried the generic ics radio with matching RIL file? This is how I restored my data. Hopefully this helps you. Best wishes. Give that a try and you can find the generic ics radio and matching ril by searching.. hopefully this fixes your issue. I believe there Are about 7 generic ics radios with matching ril files. It takes some searching but you will find them. This worked right Away for me, hopefully it will work for you As well.

If you scroll down you will find a link to mirrors for the ics radio/ril files, this mirror leads to the ics radio/ril files as for the exact one for you, you must experiment because we all live in different areas so this you will have to discover which one is correct by trying them. But the link for their mirror is on that link. Hope this helps you out! Just scroll down and read and it will say mirror for ics radio. I hope this works .

Actually I tried to install this radio and IRL :From the 3.32.709.108 RUU but it doesn't work

If you scroll all the way down just before the gingerbread radios you will see the link to the ics mirrors. It's right above the beginning of the gingerbread files. Above where it says spoils or the spoils button just before gingerbread radio. Hope this helps. Look closely before the gingerbread and you will find link to mirrors ...it's posted by a man with P in his name. So your going to see the name first then the link to the mirrors.
The name is paranull who posted it you will see his name in blue

You need to just try them and see which restores your data! What works well for me might not work well in your area so give them a try . Please keep me posted!
I'm using the newest one, I believe the July 2nd. Date is on it. That's my radio. Try and see if it works for you. But we are in different Areas so you might have to try others as well.

Not in the folder with all the Radio.
Because you have a folder with all the RIL and a lot of folder for the differents radio

You might want to ask on the radio forum then because I'm not sure if not together they might be interchangeable but that I'm not sure of its best to ask on radio forum. Wish I could be of more help.

Update 6.6.7 to --- ARHD 6.7.2 | ICS

At the risk of sounding like a noob, sorry in advance! I've been trawling through these posts but have been unable to find a straight answer so here goes.
I'm using a rooted HTC Sensation with ARHD 6.6.7 XE w Beats Audio, Firmware 3.32.401, HTC sense 3.6. Everything works perfectly!!!!!!!
I just want to update to latest ARHD 6.7.2 ,XE w BA.
Can I just flash the ROM update and be done?
Or
Do I need to - superwipe, update firmware to 3.33.401 and then flash ROM?
Very much appreciated. H

From the ARHD thread
No need to Super Wipe if you have 6.7.x already!
- 3.33.401.x firmware is required!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes you need to super wipe before you flash 6.7.2
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and messages with SMS Backup and Restore.
EDIT
Stay on 3.32 Firmware because it has an unlocked boot loader. It will still work.

Thank you very much!!

Hi,
Going from 6.6.x to 6.7.x ,you are changing bases.
You need to wipe in recovery...
Format all partitions (except sd card)
Then install new ROM.
It will work with the 3.32. firmware,but you get the new radio with 3.33 firmware.
You can get 3.33 universal firmware HERE

Could you left an information if you still believe to old firmware, because I have the same question and would like to reseive experiences.
In some cases is it better to go to next firmware, new radio better corresponding to new rom. So I am not sure to let old firmware worlk with the new rom.
Other question:
Is in the new firmware the bootloader locked ??? I hope not. So why do not upgrade to new firm ?
I found the firmware here
Many thanks for reply.

3.33 has a locked bootloader, so no do not update from 3.32.
Yes superwipe between 6.2.7 XE and 6.6.7 XE
All ARHD ROMs are stable, smooth and good with battery life (in my experience anyway)

Firmwares that I have posted:
3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

Not sure about the other firmware but use the universal as suggested because it does NOT change the boot or lock anything, I've upgraded my self to the 3.33 universal the one that won't lock or change boot. I've had zero issues and it has been wonderful . Make sure to READ before you install to be sure your downloading the correct version. You place the file at root of sd card, boot to downloader by taking battery out put battery back in, then press volume down and power at the same time. It will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update, press power for yes. Once the update is completed and rebooted. REMOVE the pg58img file! If you don't it will want to continue to update over and over inside the downloader, so delete the file soon as your finished. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Yes, you can try to run 6.7.0 on 3.33 firmware.

The basic difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is only a newer radio.

Hi,
"To briefly explain with a somewhat-less-than-accurate analogy for the purist, the radio you can flash is like a firmware package in Windows terms, and the RIL is like a driver. It is important to match them for best results, or else poor or no reception is likely, as well as high battery drain." (Quote from HERE )
The radio controls mobile data,wifi,basically all radio signals in the phone.
A good radio/ril combination is required for good reception,and even good battery usage in the area in which you live .
Check the link above to see if you can get more information.

Does the firmware and/or mis-matching RIL affect Bluetooth?

Just wondering if this is the case and I should update firmware. My network coverage seems to have no issues, my WiFi at home seems to hav no issues but the Bluetooth in the car is aggravating! GetRIL tells me "unknown" and I have reported it but no response. ARHD 6.8.0 3.33 faux10.
