Where can I find latest radio?

I have read that the updated radio improves reception signals and thus battery life, but I can't find any links to it.
Would someone be kind enough to post me a flashable file with just the radio please.
Thanks in advance.

Here:PG88IMG-OLD-RADIO-20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11.zip zipped by LoveBoatCaptain

Thanks, my handset came with radio # ending with 38.03.02.14M and am now upgrade to 3805.04.02.01M.
Again found in loveboatcaptain thread, took a lot of searching.

Hi! May I asked where you found the latest radio? maybe post some links.. thanks..

Ooh my took a lot of effort to find. Here I upload the file;
http://db.tt/xvGZXM5
After downloading copy to sdcard root and rename to PG88IMG.zip and confirm flash in hboot (not fastboot).
Haven't really seen any signal improvements, be sure have your original radio to hand before flash just in case you want to revert to original radio ok, up to you.
Edit found source, it is in loveboatcaptain Rom thread in the development forum just click in the download link on the first post. His Rom has many goodies added so all credits to him.

Thanks for the info.. But just quick questions:
1. Can I upgrade my radio ONLY?
2. Can I do this if my phone is S-ON? (Because mine is.. )
The reason I want to do this is because I'm a having a hard time having reception from my carrier on areas IN the house where previous phones(a lot, mostly Nokia's) doesn't have any problems with it. This made me think that the problem is still not in my SIM but on the radio of the device. And it shouldn't have problems with it as the SIM card is only about 2 years old. Maybe a software problem?
Thanks for all the help, am still a noob on Android stuffs, and only 3rd day of having my HTC Desire S. And already loving it except with the radio problem.
If I may add: when I turn on my Wi-Fi, my reception will really be having a hard time getting any, twice as difficult maybe. Is this normal? or should I bring this back to HTC?
P.S.
I've already know about the problem with Wi-Fi "death-grip", and mine has it.
Thanks again..

Hi skanob
Yes this file will only write the radio but not sure if will work on s-on phone. Like I said I haven't noticed any better quality reception either, I always blamed the design flaw in this.

Thanks for the reply..
Yup, I was quite shocked when I read on one of the manuals that came w/ the phone that the radio is placed on the bottom of the phone, where you usually hold the phone. (opposite where the wifi hardware is). Which is quite disappointing. It seems their telling us to use the phone (calling and sms, maybe network internet) without holding your phone the "usual" way.

yeah i know that is one thread about radios but my many of the radios that are in the desire HD section are not in the inspire 4G sections and that is what i am asking... if those radios that are not in the radio inspire 4g section could be used with my inspire?

Short answer: maybe.
The whole point of the Inspire radio thread was to confirm which of the many possible radios available for the inspire/DHD can be confirmed to work specifically with the Inspire.

Any word on whether or not the new radio 12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M for the DHD works on the inspire yet? The radio thread hasnt been updated yet.
EDIT: Nevermind, the thread has been updated now and the radio works flawlessly.

I have yet to see a problem with any DHD radio on my Inspire4g. It's android man. As long as you are flashing it the safe way with a zip file through HBOOT and not engie s-off through fastboot there really isn't much that can go wrong. Try it, see if it works for you, if it doesn't then flash something else.

This is not correct, things can still go wrong even when flashing the safe way. That is why none of the developers or modders will claim responsibility if the end user breaks something.

I believe I said "there isn't much that can go wrong" not "IT'S TOTALLY SAFE!"

I would consider a bricked phone more than "a little going wrong". It is a possibility, and it shouldn't be downplayed or taken lightly.

How can I determine the version of radio that is currently installed? I tried the HBOOT method with the Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2.zip file and I am not sure it worked, because my Inspire 4G seems to just be an Inspire now... I don't get 4G connects any more.

If you installed a custom ROM that is not based on the inspire you will not see the H+ anymore. Does not mean you are not getting the same connection.
To see your radio version just go to settings > about phone > software information and it is listed in the Baseband version.

You having problems with the data signal after making ROOT and S-OFF???

Researching and reading some homeowner concerns of htc sensation, I have observed that a large number of users after making root and s-off a large majority are having problems with the responsiveness of the data signal on the phone, even do not know that usually this problem if the custom ROM or made S-OFF, so if we know the problem is there, if you have the same problem post your complaints here.

people forget to match up radio versions and corresponding rils. i haven't had any issues with the properly matches rils/radios.

Here's what you want, but I tell you that I tried everything and still does not solve this problem, I combined the radio and RIIL and versions anyway and I have not been able to solve this problem

So your still stuck with the same problem as me? Or did you just go back to out of the box stock Rom? I was thinking of just go with the stock, since I've been having problems mainly on signal issues after I flashed arhd and I can't stand having to turn airplane mode on and off everytime to gain signal.

Root and a off don't relate to signal, but what you flash after that does. Easiest solution is to use the same radio and ril combo as was included stock, whichever ROM you're using. Newer radios can give some improvements, but also can cause issues

Meaning the radio that comes with the out of the box stock , radio that comes with the phone when I first got it?

Have you tried changing your radio and ril files? Start with the generic ics radio and ril. I'll give you link. Please read the instructions carefully. Also I believe you must be s off to do this. I had signal problems and changed my radio and ril and it's been good ever since. Here is link. Again read instructions carefully.hope this helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

[Q] Need Help with signal. Radio Update?

Hello, Firstly Im new to XDA, I have looked around but cant find this question, But my apologies if its already been asked.
Im fairly new to the whole flashing android scene, Ive done it a few times to get the latest and greatest OS but thats about it.
Im currently running SuperXE build5 with clockworkMod recovery.
Everything is running brilliantly except I have very very low signal, I have always had bad signal where I live, but its usually sorted by just walkiing outside, But not with jellybean :L
Its a real struggle to find signal anywhere on my property now, and It got me thinking, My sensation is overclocked to 1.5GHz ondemand govenor (192min 1500max) and I figured that almost every part can be overclocked or boosted in some way by clever people who develop mods
I dont mind if it drains battery more by putting more power to the antenna, as long as I get signal lol, can anybody help with this?
If youve done it before with this or any other phone how was the overall experience and did you get much of a boost in signal?
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help, With care, Bizla.

Im not S-off, But I am rooted, Hboot is 1.27, I dont know about the others, where would I find them?
I have had the problem with low signal since I got this phone, It doesnt seem to be as strong as My previous htc magic with reception, Ive been running jelly bean for 2 days now, I also had very bad signal in stock ICS and android revolution HD.
thanks, Bizla.

Hi,
If you are s-on,then,you cannot change the radio or firmware.
I am not sure if you are able to change the ril.
It is worth a try.
Go to market,and get "Getril".
This will show if you have the best radio/ril combination,or show what might improve it.
Try it.
If not you would have to consider s-offing and changing the radio.

thank you very much, im installing the app right now, I'll let you know back here if it works, If not Then I will continue my quest for signal haha, I have found that its very difficult to get S-off with Hboot 1.27 as I cant use revolutionary to do it :S
Bizla.
p.s, It has came back with RIL/Baseband doesnt match, and yet it shows the recommended baseband as an older one that I currently have, but i'll download and install anyway and see how it does

Hi,
Baseband is radio.
You cannot install it with s-on.
You might brick trying it.
S-off is achievable for you.
