Is there a new radio for Donut? Is there a reason to install?
Radio
No, not yet anyway. Still the same one that we have been using. That being said I still find it helps to reflash the radio every so often, I flash quite a few roms and sometimes the radio gets affected somehow. For instance, bluetooth will get buggy and a radio reflash has fixed it in the past.

I agree, keep the radio zip file on your sdcard. I've also noticed audio problems can be fixed by reflashing the radio.
wont that screw it up if you have the special spl?

You mean to say if you keep the radio image that is made for the special spl on your sdcard will mess it up? Or are you saying that flashing the radio image that is made for the special spl will mess it up?
sorry, i wasnt clear, i meant wont flashing the radio image that is made for the special spl mess it up?
The 2.22 radio image wasn't made for the special spl. The special spl requires the 2.22 radio. No matter what spl you have you should have the latest radio.
You MUST have the 2.22 radio in order to install the special spl, you can reflash it afterwards with no ill effects.

ahh ok, i always wondered that, all the directions say flash the radio before the spl, but it would make sense that you'd be able to flash the radio afterwards now.
As long as you are flashing the exact same radio you can. Fixing the bluetooth issue and various audio issues by reflashing the radio has been verified by multiple members on XDA. I myself have had no bluetooth phone audio and AudioHack 1.4 had no effect until I reflashed the radio.

Hello
I am updating the radio version to the latest version 2_22_19_26I, but it seems the phone function works not well. I can not hear any sound from the phone and ear phone except the speaker.
Can the Radio be downgraded ?
Thank you in advance.
Brucebot
I believe it can be downgraded just fine, but as the old radio was meant for 1.1 (non-cupcake) and you're probably running a 1.5 so intheory it should cause problems. If you have Haykuros special SPL that needs the new radio and you downgrade you will brick, so the SPL needs to be downgraded. AFAIK you would just flash it with alt-s, but I'd wait for someone else to confirm that.
If your using Meltus's audiohack, that could be the problem.
I would like to know the answer to this, I lose the signal most days and have to reset to get it back.
But I want to be 100% sure I am not gonna brick the phone before I downgrade the radio
Well first, you should also post what SPL you have. The more the information the better.

Yes having info in the post or your set up in the sig like xsnipah and i have helps with troubleshooting alot
I see a lot of different 2.22.19.26i versions out on google. Which one would be best for me given my rom version?
Which SPL?

I believe there's only an RC33/1.1 radio and a 1.5 radio. You should be running the 1.5 one : 2.22.19.26I.
SPL doesn't matter, if you look on the realease thread it says it doesn't require "Danger"/1.33.2005/Haykuro's SPL. Any SPL will work, really doesn't matter.
Ok thanks, I see two haykuro 1.5's. One says a2sd and the other one not. I am in the US.
Good, I'll leave spl alone. I have not upgraded since I rooted.
I may be mistaken, but I believe cyanogen's ROMs are based on cupcake.
Here are my suggestions based on what I know:
Radio: best bet is to find one as stock as possible. Check HTC or code.Google .. for me, I use the one I got from Haykuro's website
SPL: since I believe that cyanogen's ROMs are based on cupcake, the highest/best SPL you'll be fine with is HARD. I will also say that I've run cyanogen's 3.6.8.1 on haykuro's danger SPL with no issues.
As far "what's best"? I hold to a belief/feeling that most things Android are seperate. With the exception of HERO, most partitions of the G1 hardware are interchangeable, so no one combination is "best."
at least ,that's my take on it.
-- tasker.

That's a ROM, not a radio..
If your signature is correct, then your radio is out of date. This could mean more dropped calls, lower signal strength ect. So, download the new radio, and place it on your microSD and flash it. If your also on Cyanogen's recovery, then phyically press alt-s and home+back. Do NOT touch the trackball.
Please verify that your sig is up to date before following those instructions.
Thank you very much. Baseband shows 26i now.
I am using Cyanogen 4.0.1.
I recently flashed the new radio and then flashed the HardSPL and ever since then I have not been able to scan for Wifi networks. That appears to be the only problem I am experiencing at the moment.
Any one else have similar issues, or know of how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
The SPL doesn't have anything to do with wifi. What does the baseband say in about phone. wifi, 3g etc. are powered by the radio, try to reflash that. Also link to the new radio you flashed. Doesn't hurt to check the md5 of your download.
I would definitely start with reflashing the radio image from Haykuro's site. If you are going to continue to use Cyanogen's amazing ROM, I would NOT flash Haykuro's SPL. Stay with the HardSPL to reduce chance of bricking on accident.

I flashed the radio from Haykuro's site, I re-flashed and I still do not get any wifi.
The wifi function will turn on fine but then when I try to scan for my network and it will display a message saying "unable to scan for wifi networks" and then the wifi function will turn itself off.
btw, I am now running CM 4.0.2
I'm running Cyanogen 4.0.1 with Haykuro's radio+HardSPL and wifi works find and everything else. wipe and reflash.
something similar happened to me on my tmobile dash.
i flashed the spl wrong or idk and then my wi-fi broke
People have had similar experiences with wifi on the xROM. Many people weren't able to get wifi up and running with HardSPL, but then upgraded to Haykuro's SPL and it started working fine.
I don't think this is mere coincidence... even though neither dev requires the newest SPL, it seems that wifi doesn't work without it.
For what it's worth, update your radio (I'm sure you're on the latest radio, but for posterity's sake, just do it again), then update to the new SPL, then reflash your ROM.
Report back... I'm guessing you'll be a happy camper.
I've never had a problem but i upgraded to hardspl before cyans newest roms. maybe something in their updates kills the functionality
you should have put the newest radio before you flashed a cupcake rom
Any updates antirock? If it's still not working after a wipe and reflash, I would recommend reflashing the newest radio and flashing Haykuro's SPL. Check my sig for more info.

Ok, here is what I did.
wiped and reflashed radio and it still didn't work.
So I reverted back to Cyanogen 4.0, reflashed radio, reflashed spl, wiped, reflashed CM 4.0.2...and now wifi is working.
However, the vibrate funciton on my soft keyboard doesn't work. I figure that it is the rom, but no one else seems to be having this problem in the CM 4.0.2 thread.
Thanks for all of your help!!

So you're still on HardSPL? If others aren't having this problem, then try Haykuro's SPL if you meet the requirements.
I had two G1s for a while... one of them flashed to JACxROM fine, but on the other, wifi wouldn't work. They both had the same radio and HardSPL. Flashing Haykuro's SPL to that phone and suddenly everything worked fine.
I don't know why these phones are like that... maybe its some small difference with the actual hardware inside the phone, or the downloaded file you're trying to flash, or maybe whether or not you flash when there's a full moon. Your guess is as good as mine. Point is that MAYBE the newer SPL will work for you.
It's funny how wiping, uninstalling and reinstalling usually fixes everything.
What do i get with newer radio?
Can i update radio on hard spl?
Can i update radio without updating rom and/or hard reset?
Maybe stuppid ones, but i am considering updating radio even when i dont know benefits of it

chance on better signal strength, also chance on higher battery drain
you need h-spl for radio update
yes to both, you flash radio as u flash rom: either ruu or sd
consider changing rilphone.dll as well (matching the radio version) as the new radio might support new commands which are in ril, so os can use them
hey.
Im almost sure i just bricked my g1, just need to be sure.
I was running Death SPL and the last official radio, and had gsm\umts network connection problems.
Decided to upgrade the radio to the last one that came out recently, i did, the problem seem to be better but it got worse in time.
downgraded the radio, and tried around 15 different roms, all tries with the same outcome.
so after a lot of trial and error, i decided to get back to one the the first radios available, but i was afraid it would brick my phone so i read carefully about it
I had a realy hard time finding something but i everntually came across a couple threads that stated that it was ok to flash any radio, as long as the SPL was flashed first...
after reading that i downloaded a 1xxx radio and flashed via recovery...
result: stuck in the G1 screen...
My question: phone in the crapper right?
thanks for reading guys

No, what they said is that it is OK to flash anything as long as you use FASTBOOT INSTEAD OF RECOVERY, and that FULL FASTBOOT (with this ability) depended on having a 1.33.2xxx SPL.
With an SPL and RADIO that are incompatible with each other, it is impossible to successfully boot the kernel. Following a flash-hboot or flash-radio, the system is set (via writing the command field in the MISC partition) to boot-recovery. When in boot-recovery, the phone IGNORES all user inputs. The incompatible radio/spl fails to boot-recovery, and you're bricked.
USING FASTBOOT INSTEAD prevents the misc partition from being set to boot-recovery by writing the SPL or RADIO directly. As a result, when you reboot, though it still won't be able to boot a kernel, IT WILL RESPOND TO USER INPUTS and bring you into FASTBOOT mode... from where it is possible to, again, flash radio or spl.
Your failure is a result of failure to read properly.
SPL/radio compatibility:
0.95.xxxx, 1.33.x003: compatible with 1.x or 2.x radios.
1.33.xxxx (except 1.33.x003): compatible with 2.x or 3.x radios.
No exceptions.
I always suggest using the 1.33.2003 SPL since DREAM should always use either a 1.x or 2.x radio (except robbers in canada, because they are bastards, but you can load those with a 2.x radio just fine). 1.33.2003 is the strongest engineering SPL available, and fully compatible with the proper radios. There is NO ADVANTAGE to any other SPL -- no, you don't need to change your SPL to reallocate storage space.... in fact, limiting yourself to SPL changes to do this will tend to waste a lot more space (15 MB more available than 1.33.2005 gives you).

no its not...im pretty sure about what i read...if i stumble on the thread again ill PM you to prove it.
i already have a touch HD on the way so no harm done, i wish this was all the harm in our world...
but anyway now that its dead...lets fix it!
is there a way around it? i hear about jtaging a lot but i have never seen a tutorial on the web...
any insight on that would be delightful...seriously
but hey lbcoder thanks for enlightening me i appreciate it, i really do...thanks man
