I have terrible reception, and I realize I haven't flashed a new radio since I had this phone. Currently rooted/unlocked FW1.85 running Newts JB v2.00 (Jellybean and Sense 4+)
My radio is ATT 1.85 (0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L)
a box of kittens linked me to the radio thread, but im not sure which one to flash, can anybody help me real quick?
Thanks!
Anyone of the radios from your carrier will work. Just depends on how well it will work. There should be a Google maps link for radio compatibility. Its hit or miss really. If your Hboot is below >1.14 ie 1.09 etc then you can flash in recovery and try them on for size.

The radio does not have to be from your carrier. You can flash any radio on any network (well, I shouldn't say "any radio" on "any network" because I'm not POSITIVE that's true, but I've flahsed several non-AT&T radios and have no problems on AT&T's network.

That's pretty true. As long as its a radio meant for our device, it will work. Whether it works the "best" or not is based more on your very specific geographic location, more than carrier. So I've had instances where the best radio for my device was not the one for my carrier. Pretty sure I'm on a non-AT&T radio right now, and have been for months.
In addition to what you learn from the map, newer radios might be a good place to start. HTC is continually trying to make improvements to the radios with each new one. But again, it doesn't always pan out that way, and not a sure thing.

I'm pretty sure that cm10 takes its radio from a non protected partition, hence why it's a different radio that needs to be installed. And I think they are non hboot dependant. But I don't run aosp so I'm not positive.

Does

support 2WCR(two way call recording) as his older brother Virtuos Affinity which I am using since december??
If not then when expected to implement that?
Hope some developers of this ROM will read and answer
No. This is a kernel feature and the source for the 3.0 kernel isn't available so it can't be added to the ROM.

If you don't have a problem with your current radio, then it's not necessary to flash the new one. It's really completely up to you.
Edit: I just saw your hboot; if you're S-on, you won't be able to flash a new radio anyway.

Awesome, well, then you can decide whether you want to flash the radio, or not I, personally, have seen a huge improvement with the latest radio, but that could be the total opposite for you. So try the radio out for a day or two, and if you have any problems, you can always just flash your old radio again.

These are flashable zips that will change your baseband (radio firmware). Google it See twistedxx's post quoted below if you have no idea what this means. If you have an HTC One X (Tegra 3) you're in the wrong place.
twistedddx said:
Radio = firmware
RIL(radio interface layer) = driver
Android = operating system
All 3 are "programs" that are running at different "levels", I have listed them from top to bottom in the order typically considered for how they interact. It is important to understand that a program is just code and how they interact is a philosophy programmers created and are now use to and not because it has to be set out that way.
In the case of the RIL, the API rarely/never changes so it is rarely/never updated.
The actual changes HTC make happen in the "Radio" program.
This is opposite to how say Windows/Nvidia tackle things. The firmware rarely/never changes and they make their changes in the "driver".
In Nvidia's case they do this because there is no standard way in x86BIOS/Windows for GPU firmware to be loaded from something as simple as the installed HDD, the firmware is actually written to chips on the card itself. It is just simpler to make all the code that gets changed inside the "driver" which is easily updated.
For our phones "radio" its trivial for the changes in code to happen at the "driver" level or the "firmware" level, HTC/Google decided they would stick changes in the "firmware". They did this because they created a separate partition for the radio so that they can protect it separately to the OS. Android typically means the phones OS should be open for tweaking, so it must be assumed the driver could easily be replaced.
Countries and Carriers have licensed spectrum to protect and transmitters must be licensed to use it, running custom radio code would break laws in many countries. This leads to the radio firmware being protected much more heavily than the OS itself.
It is because HTC is lazy and because we have awesome devs that we can replace the radio firmware at all. As far as HTC, Country communication regulators and carriers are concerned the user should NEVER be altering the radio software.
Radio:
radio(fancy code stuff) <-> ril(boring translator) <-> Android OS
Nvidia:
firmware(advanced fixed code that allows for flexible access) <-> driver(fancy code stuff and translator) <-> Windows
Note:
Radio is about wireless communications
Nvidia is about graphics processings. They are not similar technologies just some tech you may be familiar with.
PS. API = application programming interface.. and lets just say if you do not understand what that is.. I cant be arsed trying to explain that, go Google it.

If you're on the newer HBOOT (1.14) and insist on running a Sense based ROM use the Jet tool to downgrade to 1.09. This will allow you to write to the radio partition of the phone. Or just S-OFF (w00t!)
If you're running a CM 10.x ROM it doesn't matter what HBOOT you're on as the radio firmware is stored elsewhere (in a writable partition... /system to be precise).
Instructions:
1) Copy zip file to SD Card
2) Boot into Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
3) Flash
4) Reboot
Always take a Nandroid Backup in case something goes screwy!
Your bootloader will not show the correct baseband. I'm working on figuring out how the RUU updater handles the android_info.txt in the firmware.zip's

I think over in the S=OFF Thread they've thrown around a few theories, I dont think any of them involved the radio partition.
The take away from this is that we've been able to flash images to partitions we didnt think we could without S=OFF (kernel, radio) so it might be a relatively moot point to achieve it. As far as ROM Development is concerned anyhow.
I think... could totally be wrong about all of that, though. =)
This is amazing man thank you!!

Why are you so adamant on achieving S-OFF now that were bootloader unlocked and we can flash full ROMS with the ability to flash the boot.img and flash the radios from within recovery there is absolutely nothing more that you need except for HTC to release the source. Once HTC releases the Source we can start getting custom kernels and AOSP ROMS can get moving.

You should compare the basebands not the hboot. Check under settings -> about. You can update your baseband to the latest by flashing the newer radio. But keep your hboots where they are for now, DON'T use a OTA update or RUU.

Do not update the hboot unless you want to jump through hoops to flash roms. I have seen many complain of issues with hboot higher than 1.09. Highly recommend leaving it alone. I am on 1.06 and never have problems like the updated ones.

In which country are you living?
If it's somewhere in Europe (sparda?! - maybe Germany ) the latest radio is 1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L.
Anyway you should keep your current hboot so. Just flash the radio. If you want, send me a PM and I'll give you a link to a cwm backup I made right after my RUU Update. It's untouched (no personal settings etc.), only with Super SU in \system, so you will have everything like as you'd run the RUU update and rooted your device.
Please learn more about the 4.04 update here.

Do not update the hboot unless you want to jump through hoops to flash roms. I have seen many complain of issues with hboot higher than 1.09. Highly recommend leaving it alone. I am on 1.06 and never have problems like the updated ones.

I appreciate your advise. I discovered that I am also on 1.06 HBoot and was thinking that I had to do an OTA update to get the latest radio. So now I should be able to find a radio update and flash it in CWM.
-------------
Half an hour of searching later, I've come to conclude that the only way to update the radio is via the RUU update process. I haven't found any newer radio that is flashable. So I don't really think there is any way to keep my 1.06 hboot AND update the radio.
if you are using cwm you need to fastboot it if using twrp recovery you can flash thru recovery

You didn't search hard enough. On hboot 1.06 you can flash radios using twrp, no ruu necessary. I know because I did it, and so did many others.

The radios on the Cyanogenmod site (first link) are from the 1.78 base. I am using TweakDroid 7.1 which is from the 2.21 base and so I want the most recent radio that goes with that base. Your second link to the dropbox gives me hope... What is it? Dated July 19, would this be the one from the newer base?
Thanks!
Yes that is the newest
The other link is to how to fastboot radio. Fastboot into recovery per instructions. Be careful.

Its Ubuntu haha.. Pretty awesome setup I use 12.04... If you decide to use it, install
64bit just in case you decide to try building from source.... I agree with the above answer as well.. You can not flash an ruu that is below your hboot.. The partitions will go through the motion of flashing but will not actually flash no matter how you try.. I've tried all three ways...to include flash image GUI and HTC dumlock...hope this helps

Energy rom, CM10, and paradroid (whatever it called)
but they are not a good rom for me..
I am in the same situation as you, because of there are not many roms for this garbage phone..
I am trying to selling it and get a popular phone which are easier to flash custom roms.
PS: HTC always make stupid phones, no wonder the company is going bankrupt.
Its funny how I have no issues whatsoever with my hboot 1.14.
Easier to flash custom roms? I flash roms the same way on all my devices - in recovery. The only difference with the S is i have to spend 5sec on typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" before first boot up. Yea, hard stuff that
And... why did you buy it if you think htc only makes stupid phones? Makes no sense to me...

You should get WiFi on almost all ICS ROMs.. If the base rom is your hboot or lower..

Just for informational purposes, I was having the same problems: serious problems with Wi-Fi on several different ROMS. I also have hboot 1.14. I'm currently running CM10 and installed a custom kernel and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Most wifi issues revolve around t-mobile phones I believe. It often relates to the 2.35 update. Others did not have these issues.
You can also solve via superCID and flash another RUU (that has a similar level of bootloader).
But yes, a bootloader downgrade will solve this, since then you can flash other wifi partitions (even the Jelly Bean ones).
Alternatively you can wait for the OTA upgrade to Jellybean.

I got it because it was the best hardware out at the time and not for Sense.

Ya its seems that to me too.
Well I moved from T-Mobile and went to att so I'm trying to sell the phone but I have particular buyer that wants it rooted and they'll pay the full price if I can get viper or a Jb Rom on it. Ok so ill attempt the hboot downgrade.

Thats correct. You can try to flash it but it wont actually work. The only way to use a different radio on a higher hboot (besides OTA updates and RUUs) is to go to an AOSP ROM. They hold radio files in a different location (there is a CM10 radio flasher in the development forums). This still wont replace the underlying radio on your phone (which will be there if you go back to SENSE base ROMs). But it will allow you to try out different radios.
Not brick, only don't install

Now any hboot can flash radios on sense, using the CM10 installer.
