I just flashed my phone with CM10 and it appears that the built in radio isn't there. Is there any extension/file that must be added to the flash? I could use TuneIn for when I have wifi, but most of the time I don't, so the built in radio was useful.
I've read a couple of threads already, but it isn't clear to me what needs to be done. Some say I should add some code, some say it's an extension and some say it's already there. Also if it's of any use, it's a S4 and I'm in Canada with Fido/Rogers.
Thanks

Download the .zip for AOSP ROMs from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270
Then flash the zip and choose the baseband radio you want. The radios there are the most common. You should be able to flash these radios regardless of the hboot you are using if you are using a CM10 base rom. Its OK to flash these radios even if you are in Canada (im on Bell in Toronto). The key is to try them out and see which one gives you the best reception (the newest ones are likely better). Dont worry, flashing these radios wont effect the underlying radio on your phone, as SENSE based roms (ie the stock version of ROMS on HTC One S use a different radio, and that radio version you would still find if you go onto your bootloader screen). You can only change that radio by downgrading your hboot.

Lol wrong radio he means FM Radio.
Hahah good point. Your only other bet there is to purchase SpiritFM from Google Play. However the Jellybam ROM which is CM10 base also has a free version I think.

Is there a list of ROMs that are full TMOUS support out of the box?
Yes, they all are. Have you been experiencing problems?
As far as I know, as long as you have super CID you can choose whatever ROM you want. The only problem you might have is a loss of data speeds, since most recommend a particular radio (although I'm on CoreDroid 2.0 with stock TMOUS radio and I've experienced no drop in speeds, even though they recommend getting the latest radio). If you want to ensure no loss in data speeds or are afraid of flashing radios (like me), stick with the ROMs that say TMOUS in the thread title. All the guys who make TMOUS specific ROMs include it either in the thread title or in the first post.
Edit: I shouldn't say the ONLY thing that can happen is a loss of data speeds, because sometimes you lose the ability to do wifi calling or the 4G icon is switched to an H, etc., but most of the devs have addressed these issues and either offer patches or include the fix in the ROM.
So do I have to flash a radio or the radio sticks after a ROM flash? Any recommended ROMs for TMOUS with battery life/performance and Sense? Would like some good aesthetics but don't need any crazy features.
BUMP.......
I wish they would separate the ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16281566&postcount=2
Just click on every single one. Look at user If hes from USA in the first post.
Your radio will stick after flashing a new ROM. Just make sure you always flash the RIL file matching your radio version.
Edit: you shouldn't have to worry about whether the ROM is tmous based if you flash the appropriate RIL file.

Just download the one for tmous. Chefs don't usually state which RIL they have cooked in their roms. Get in the habit of flashing the RIL whenever you switch roms.

I flashed cm7 a while back (the only stable version available at the time. not sure if it's still the same), and could get hspda (H symbol). I went back to the stock rom and have recently tried testing out some different radios but can't seem to get hspda. I realize that the symbol isn't exactly a great indicator, but could it be that i'm not using the same radio as the one included in cm7? i'm using the kd1 radio now, which is working okay, but i'd really prefer a better signal either way.
anyone know either 1) what radio is best to use in canada?, or 2) what radio is used in cm7? i've tried the hspda tweak already too. thanks
CM7 does not come with a radio. The radios come with the stock rom and/or via OTA's. Usually the latest radio is going to be the best. Some people will find an older radio may work better. There is a sticky that lists all the radios. Pick the latest for your device and give it a try.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I for sure didn't flash a radio after flashing cm7 though, so there had to have been something that came with it. i'll try out a few different radios to see which I like. do you need to do the hspda tweak every time you flash a new radio?
yeah the H is just a tweak in the CM7 rom.

Hi,
It makes no difference,and there is no adverse affect.
I just flashed my Sensation with Revolution HD also and I'm curious about the Radio update.
It says 'recommended' but what exactly is different about this radio vs the stock one? I've read here and there that flashing the radio can be pretty dicey and is a large casue of bricked devices.
My phone seems to be operating fine now without the flash. I don't mind flashing it but I'd like to understand the differences first.

Hi,
To quote mike:
He strongly recommends the radio because
--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ------ You don't have to flash RIL files for recommended radio. It's already in the ROM ------ You would need S-OFF in order to do it properly
So, the radios are optimized for his roms.

It has no effect, they are exactly the same radio flashed.
The U vs P is a tag to determine which market the phone is for.
for example in Europe you'll generally have "U" here in the US on TMO we generally have "P".

Let me see if I can provide an easy explanation:
In the past there were often radio's specifically tweaked for the market they were releasing into for example a "Europe" and "US" radio.
The radio numbers are simply revision numbers in the evolution of the overall radio.
The more current radios are optimized and the preferred build for most of the newer ROMs because the Radio/IRL is optimized for the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 sensation builds.
The current radios may not be overly different in their individual changelogs but they are different in how the matching Radio/IRL interacts with the ROM in regards to call quality, power consumption and of course the Kernel. This is why a chef will recommend a radio with a ROM.
I've used various radios on the TMoUS Sensation and the most recent radio is by far the best performer in regards to call quality and power IMO. You've certainly got nothing to lose by upgrading and might gain the extras enabled by the more current ROMs mostly in the way of optimized performance.

The flashing process itself causes more issues than the radios. The best way is to ADB Fastboot flash radio radio.img.
In the past when radio's were matched to geo markets or specific rom builds this was more of an issue. If you follow the guidelines it's actually really easy. Just be sure you S-off before you try anything.

I've only used CM10 based roms but these are the problems I'm having.
- When my phone goes to deep sleep, my WiFi disconnects. Well, it doesn't really disconnect because when I unlock the phone, I see the wifi signal but it's in grey instead of blue. I don't get my notifications while it's in deep sleep.
- Also, when I switch to data (mobile internet), it doesn't work until I switch from 3G to 2G or vice versa.
Does anybody else have these problems? What can be done? Thank you.

Where can I find these Extra Partitions? Also, I'm guessing I'm already on a JB radio because it's the latest one. 1.11 EU.

Ok thats just wrong. AOSP will only use the radio in the rom. so if ur on Jellybam just flash the AOSP radio. Thats it
If you are on a sense JellyBean 4+ rom then u can flash the Sense Radio and Wifi partitions.
Its one or the other. Not both.
The AOSP radio is which one? I always flashed the latest available one in the CM10 Aroma Installer.

Hi,
You should try to install albino's ROM without changing anything,to begin with.
It may work well straight out of the box.
Only start changing radios and firmware if you have signal problems.
Firmware 3.33 and 3.32 Are virtually identical,and I think the radios are in fact the same.
What about the RILs? I never understood that part..

Hi,
Rils work with the radio to give you good signal for your area.
Rils are included in the ROM.
You can also go to the market and get an app called "GetRil"
This will check your radio/ril combination, and ensure you have the best match.

Unfortunately yes, my signal is constantly fluctuating from 3 bars to no bars every 30 or so seconds. Can't receive calls unless I have three or more bars. Missing 90% of calls, unable to make outgoing calls at all.
Made the build.prop change for T-MOUS recommended in Albinoman's build - no improvement.

Hi,
The first question you asked was :
" How does one determine which radio should be used?"
The best radio is the one that works for you.
Was your signal good with your previous ROM?
The radio you have is 11.24
There is a later version HERE which is 11.29
If you had a good signal before,then it could just be the ril that you had in the previous ROM.
It may be possible to get that ril and use it on albino's ROM.
You could also ask about rils in the radio/ril thread.
Of course,you must be s-off to change any firmware or radio.
Flashed the latest radio, now I can't make or receive any phone calls whatsoever. Phone displays 2 bars, but as soon as I try to make a call, goes to zero.
Apparently if my Wi-Fi is on, it kills my Mobile Signal. Keeping Wi-Fi off is allowing me to make calls, for the moment.

The safest way is to get an app called GetRil from play store and check if your radio and ril are matched properly.
Try this first and then change your radio if it still isn't working.
You can get radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
You need to try radio/ril combinations till you get it right.
A lot of people have radio problems with albomanion Rom
