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.

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

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]

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.

[Q] ARHD updates

Hi
I have been running ARHD 4.1.13 for about 6-8 weeks and seeing as o2 or HTC send out updates for stock ROMS I was wondering if nonstock ROMS had updates available?

Just to check, you'd like to know whether custom ROM's have been updated to new versions sent out by HTC or your provider?
If so, I don't think so.
Edit: I assumed you meant Gingerbread ROM's, otherwise Moon2 is right. There has been ICS ROM's released.

There have been many updates since then, the 6.4.0 series of ARHD is now based on leaked htc ice cream sandwich roms.

PDroid on Skyrocket ICS Rom??

Are there any roms with pdriod built in or do you know of one is compatible?

i guess it doesn't have to be a ics rom i can make due with another one

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.
