Hi guys, i've got the radio included in the 2.21 update (1.06s), now that the 2.31 ruu has been posted i don't know if it's worth to update it to the latest (1.06es) or not (i use cm10 and have hboot 1.14 so i have to use the ruu to install the radio, it's a fairly long process).
What do you think?
If your signal and data are fine don't do anything.

i got 1 extra bar by upgrading by radio
I have used all the recent radios on CM10 and no difference. Also, some folks have had issues with the latest radio on CM10. The problems with having your hboot upgraded are not worth it. Unless, as mentioned, you have specific radio/wifi issues that dramatically impact your phone's perfomance.
Nope, never had issues with this radio, i'll stick with it, thanks!
I've never had great reception and I'm hoping that a radio change will help that.
I've had a total noob brain fart. How do I check for my HBOOT version?
I'm on T-Mo in the US. On the older radios, my connection would randomly drop, both WiFi and Data, then would come back within a few seconds. Very annoying when downloading files. With the newest radio, I have had no crashes at all. Battery life seems just a tad better for me as well. I recommend you update the radio. It is different for everyone. I only updated b/c it was easy for me as I have an older hboot.

And which are you running now? 2.21 or 2.31?
-Sent from my TMOUS HTC One S.-
-Stock/rooted 2.21 + 1.06s baseband-
-Hboot 1.06-
Had faster data download speeds with 2.21 radio compared to 2.31 radio, connection stability was about the same. I ran RUU on both times.

I just came from the HD2 so I'm new to the inspire. I've searched through all the threads to try and find if there's an overall best radio for the inspire, but there doesn't seem to be any definitive answer. Are most of the radios rom specific, or is there one that's best for all of them?

Radio performance varies with each individual location and phone. You really need to test that for yourself. The recommended radio for each rom is the one the developer tested for their specific rom. You may find that another radio and ril work better for your situation.
Cool thanks. The HD2 had one radio that was the best across all roms, so I was hoping the inspire was the same. Guess it's time to flash happy. Thanks again.

12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M or 12.54.60.25x_26.09.04.11_M2 seem to the main two radios that people are using on the Inspire for the most part. These are the main two radios that most roms recommend. I have used them both and they are both good. They both have ups and downs so I go back and forth some. Just make sure to flash the matching RIL with it.
So after doing some research into this more, I found that after the rooting process, alot of users HSUPA becomes broken if you dont skip the last step where it flashes the stock radio back after the downgraded one. Also, flashing any other radios than the stock one can also cause you to lose HSUPA. I verified this on my own phone after using Bubby's one click, and was getting less than .5 Mbps up and down. After reflashing the stock ROM and radio, restoring my previous ROM, and flashing the matched RIL, I now consistently get over 5 Mbps up and down. Any of you guys noticed this or know about it?

I didn't have this problem. I just used the ace hack kit and then flashed the radio and Ril I wanted. I get around 5.5 down and around 1.2 up during non-peak times.

That's really relative to where you are. I have heard most say the latest radio is great but remember to match the RIL file. Personally I have been getting more constant speed readings with the newest radio.
However I have heard that people have success with just older radio. So if the current radio you have works and happy with your current speed, then I wouldn't touch it. But you can try it out and always revert back if you don't like it .
Hi there!
I using HyperSensation 1.0 ROM, which is fantastic. Except my GPS locks instantly to some bogus place (it's completely off, in the ocean for example). I get no satellite locks. I even set my gps.conf to North America (I am in Toronto, ON Canada) using FastFix
I want to try to fix this by getting a new radio, as the dev of HyperSensation said to use the "newest" radio found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143 but I'm sure we have different kinds of Sensations. And I hope newest radio refers to the last item on the list, ie. "From the 1.72.401.1 RUU:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
md5: 722549b642a1374964798cc82100855e".
My current radio is 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M ..
Is it a good idea to update to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2? Will it work with my T Mobile Sensation Phone in Canada using an AWS network on Mobilicity?
And would this be the only thing to flash, or do I need to flash the corresponding RUU/RIL? If yes, which one works with my rom and phone?
I really appreciate any help! This GPS (and slow speeds, may I add) is fustrating me.
I've looked around the forums, and haven't found any good problems related to my particular issue.
Well, I couldn't be happier. I went ahead and flash my tmobile to that new Radio and everything is working fantastically!
Im so glad I did this, my gps works! It didnt work on stock, nor coredroid rom, nor hypersensation until i installed this radio
cheers for anyone that may have a similar issue
(my device wouldnt boot up after i installed my new radio driver. but i found out i had to remove the .zip file from the sdcard... that scared me, thought i bricked my phone! )
Found a ROM I'm happy with. Energy 2.08 base 3.5 Sense rom.
I'm wondering what the best radio to use in the UK would be? I updated to the 10.58 radio ages ago and wouldn't risk going back to 10.56. Noticed today I'm only getting 3 bars of signal in a strong coverage area. T-Mobile. Use to get constant 5 bars easily so I'm wondering if its just a ROM and radio mismatch?

Hi,
The best radio is the one that works.
If you used to get a better signal with 10.56,then that is the best one for you.
You have to try a few radios before you find the right one,and test it on various ROMS.
You will eventually find the best combination of ROM/radio.
I'm getting confused with RILs too. Do they get applied when flashing a custom ROM? Because I've never updated those since using the gingerbread RUU months ago. I swear this stuff was more straightforward on the old Desire.

The RIL (Radio Interface Library) can be very important, it might just be that the RIL you are using has all the right instructions in it anyway for the radio you are using, I suggest you always flash the correct RIL for the Radio you are using.

What're the benefits of flashing radios?
Is it better to flash radios or stick with the stock ones?
I'm not even sure how it works much, since I've never touched mines..
Ive heard stories where flashing radios just made people's problems worst ...
And I heard some tip before that it's better to just stick with the stock one...
They are all stock, just pulled from different firmware versions. It's probably best to use the radio that matches the base of your rom, but some people have reported better results with different radios. If you have problems with a particular radio, you can just flash a different one.

With stock I mean the one that comes with the phone when you bought it ..lol
But I know see I've been looking at it differently.

Radio flashing is almost always a trial and error affair, which is why you have heard of some people have worse reception after flashing a new radio. This is due to the fact that radio reception is often very geographically specific (as in specific town, or even specific tower/towers). So what works for some people, may not work well for you. A different radio may get you slightly better reception and battery life, or might make it worse. But the difference is usually not a huge one.
Newer radios can sometimes yield slightly better results than older ones. But again, its not always a sure thing. Lots of people had better WiFi reception with newer radios, while others did not.
Radios are also matched to ROMs via RIL. Although I haven't noticed this in itself to make a huge difference.
If you are on a custom ROM, and the dev recommends a certain radio, then try to use that. Otherwise, if you are getting pretty good reception and battery life, and you are in doubt about flashing radios, just leave it alone.
If you are on the 1.14 hboot that came with the 2.20 AT&T firmware, none of this may matter for you, as you cannot flash Sense radios on hboot 1.14, and you are stuck with the one you are on (or can only upgrade via OTA or RUU). CM10 radios can still be flashed.
