I have installed the Rogers radio to stop the calls about the 911 thing, but what I was wondering..is if its possible to downgrade back to my old radio?
Is it like an iPhone? Am I stuck at this radio? If not, can anyone link me to the newest version of the old radio?

Did you take THEIR update? Or did you follow instructions on THIS SITE?
If the former, then you're screwed. If the latter, then you can do whatever you like.

Hi all,
I recently updated to the official AT&T ROM on my 750. It updated the radio to 1.54.00.00 but I've been having lost signal issues in places where I used to get full signal. After looking through the forums, I've downloaded 1.54.07.00 to give that a shot. Only problem is, I'm not sure how to update just the radio.
Can anyone point me to some instructions on updating the radio?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Check out my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348271 as I figured it out.
N8NU,
Are you using Olipro's SPL bootloader?
I'm not using his bootloader, and was unable to flash the radio following your instructions. I've been doing some searching and haven't found how to update just the radio if you're not running a custom bootloader.
I'm assuming it's possible if Palm has a Recovery Tool that changes radio fw, although I'm not sure of it's inner workings.
Has anyone else had success flashing just the radio fw? I hate to be negative, but I'm having some issues with the official ATT WM6 ROM 2.25 with radio fw 1.54.27.00
Yes, I went through the unlocking process in the sticky. In the end however the radio was kept at v 1.2 something. So I added radio 1.5 and it works.
hi,
so ive been looking around the forums for what seems like AGES and i just cant seem to find the answers im looking for.
ive just found the thread on SPLs but im completely clueless about radios. what is a radio and why would i need a new one?
im on cm 3.6.2 is this firmware a radio? or is a radio to do with the hardware? what benefits are there to replacing it? how do i replace it?
can i flash this # 2.22.19.26I
# Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I ? if so how?
very much a noob with all this and any info would be very much appreciated
# Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Is that your baseband version from your phone? If it is, then u have the latest Radio image and SPL. To make sure, boot up in fastboot (Turn off, turn on while holding back button)
That will tell u your spl, radio and if you have a PVT device

no my baseband is:
63.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
how do i go about updating it? is it simply a case of renaming to update.zip then reboot into flash menu? is it safe to do it without wiping the phone?
last one i swear. what is the radio for, why is it an advantage to change it?
nvm im just reading your noobs guide
edit: all done. latest radio and spl thanks to your guide. cheers.

Hi, Need to check with you regarding my radio before installing Haykuro's latest SPL 1.33.2005. currently, my radio version is:
2.22.19.26I
Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17U2.22.19.26I
But the radio in his site, has different baseband version, Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H2.22.19.26I. I notice his was H but mine U. So is this the same radio or should i flash his radio? Appreciate your advice.

I would err on the safe side and make sure to flash the H version. Might be superfluous, but at least I'll be able to flash without wondering...

A radio can refer to two things: either it is the processor/amplifier/antenna system which comprises the actual air interface side of a phone (the stuff that makes a phone a GSM phone or a UMTS phone or a CDMA2000 phone, etc). Otherwise a radio could refer to the software package that runs on the aforementioned processor. The word "baseband" is also used in a similar fashion (e.g. "baseband processor" or "baseband software")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I rooted my phone using the "one click" root method (from standard Rogers 1.5 firmware) (http://zenthought.org/system/files/a...1-20090908.apk) and then updated to the latest radio:
•2.22.19.26I
•Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
•http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecod..._22_19_26I.zip
I initiall got the box with the arrow then the phone continued to the Rogers boot screen and has been stuck there for 20 minutes at least! So i took out the battery and turned it back on again and it get stuck on the Rogers screen still!
Have I bricked it!?! I thought you can only brick it when you update the SPL ... all I did was update the radio. Please HELP!
If it helps I was following the instructions step by step from: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/how...page=0,2
according to the cyanogen guide I bricked my phone:
2.Be very careful of any upgrade or mod instructions that require you to install an HTC "Recovery" zip/image, a replacement radio, or anything that might cause a difference of versions thereby bricking your phone.
eg: you currently have an EBI1 system and recovery image. If you boot an EBI0 radio image you will no longer be able to boot your phone.

Thanks in advance.
P.S. to clarfiy every button combination I press comes up with the Rogers boot screen. Unless I'm a complete idiot and am not pressing the buttons correctly I don't see how I can fix the phone if it won't boot! I though bricked phones are totaly duds (eg. they don't turn on/no charging lights...)
see if you can get it recovery mod? (home+end)
The main cause of bricks is using an SPL that is incompatible with the IPL (radio), hence it is possible not only to brick by changing the SPL, but also by changing the IPL.

Not a chance.
If all he did was change the IPL, then the ONLY cause for it doing locking as it is, is that the SPL is not compatible with that IPL. It is, therefore, bricked.
I didnt think that radio was compatible with the rogers phones, i thought that they had to use the 3.22.20.17 radio?

if so that could be the cause of your brick!

Wow.... perhaps you should chill a little, these are Q&A forums, the purpose of which is to educate and help, not just baffle people with terms that its doubtful that they have heard before.
You'll see that i linked back to the thread that details everything that they should be to know not to make the mistake again, and anyone else that does a search will find it as well.
The rogers dream is compatiable with either radio. You just need your recovery/kernel version to match your radio version. The 2.22.19.26I radio needs 32B and 3.22.20.17 needs 32A recovery/kernel.
He needs to reflash the 3.22.20.17 radio then complete the rogers dream rooting guide on the cm wiki.
This might sound like a dumb question but I ask it because I was previously on the .11 radio and my phone wouldnt upgrade the radio at all no matter how many times i flashed it. I unrooted and rerooted and im at the .29 radio right now thanks to DREAMIMG.nbh but now i cant even upgrade to the .11 .26i or the latest radio through Amon_RA recovery, im still stuck on Stock SPL so i cant fastboot the radio....is there a way to modify DREAIMG.nbh so that it automatically flashes the latest radio?
Nope, its signed and changin it would remove the signiture.
Is it possible to resign it?
If not then is there any other way to force a radio update on the phone while running stock spl? My radio only downgrades and it refuses to upgrade any further..the call quality is just awful now, I really need some help please!

No, you can't resign it in a way the stock spl would recognise. Why can't you use the engineering spl?

No, only the deathspl is incompatible with old radios.. engineering will work with anything.
Hmmm so you're saying I should flash hard/engineering spl, then I can fastboot a radio update from my computer?

Hi, where can i find an updated radio? I got a Tmobile HD7 and has a radio of 5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U, and I'm having reception issues with certain parts of my room, in which i had no problems with my other phones...
How do i flash a radio? Have you guys been successful flashing radio only without HSPL or something? Please enlighten me, TIA!
