[Q] I need a Radio Baseband ZIP to Flash

Okay... let me start by saying, I Love everyone here, and you all have helped mod my phone to great lengths... and my phone is working GREAT!
I am on an ALLTEL CDMA HERO200
Rooted with CM6.1
After I originally rooted my phone, and before I installed CM6.0 ...I upgraded my radio baseband from 2.42.01.04.23 to 2.42.01.04.27
and now upgraded to CM6.1 ROM / Android OS 2.2.1
I have the circular battery mod, as well as custom notification icons
and my signal is always 2 bars sometime 3 and never 4
My question is this... I just now realized that the radio I upgraded to is for SPRINT and I am on ALLTEL... like I said before the phone work fine
but I started looking for a download for the 2.42.01.04.23 radio baseband that I originally had because I was wondering if going back to 2.42.01.04.23 from 2.42.01.04.27 would give me a better signal since the 2.42.01.04.23 is for ALLTEL...
would going back to my original radio baseband make any difference is my signal strength and if so, does anyone have a download for the radio baseband version 2.42.01.04.23, as all I have is the 2.42.01.04.27 version...

NO! flashing a GSM (not CDMA, like sprint) radio is the only confirmed known way to brick. The OP also said his phone was working, so not bricked.
To the OP! my best advice would be to send a PM to member hexskrew, he has built alltel roms, so I assume he has whatever the newest alltel radio is, good luck to you

Thanks for the advice and pointing me to someone who may be able to assist...
and yeah I definitely dont want a GSM radio, lol

If you happen to find a version of the alltel radio, could you PM me or post it, i need it also. Im not having any luck finding one. My data has suddenly stopped working and i think if i update the radio it might fix my problem.

From what I've come up with, AFAIK the radio is just an algorithm of sorts that tells the radio (hardware) in the phone how to search for a signal, and how much power to output in order to find it... so I don't think an Alltel radio will help you much. Just experiment with them.

Would the 2.42.02.10.29 Sprint CDMA Hero Radio update work on non-Sprint networks?

Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!

I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.

AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine

Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

Rogers Captivate the same as At&t Captivate?

Any one know if there the same? hardware wise? Like if I where to flash a US/at&t
based rom would it run/work on a Rogers Captivate?
Its my understanding that some of the at&t roms work with the Rogers version...But do all of them work?

From what I understand, they will work, but there are caveats, though they can be fixed some way or another.

Well like I said, I'm just assuming, but here is a Rogers ROM that you may be interested in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284
But I know that they will work. You can try flashing one and seeing for yourself what issues arise.

Ironically, there is little if any Rogers left in that rom.

I have an i896(rogers), and so far everything is good. I have yet to flash a rom, but the kernals work as well as the modems.
On the sticker inside the battery cover, the only thing that says i896 is the model number. Every other designation on the sticker refers to the phone as an I897
my build number is 1011.

Guys, the rogers captivate is literally the exact same, other than the model number. Every rom I've tried has worked without a glitch, and I've been flashing for a few months now.

Thank you for your input Escapist! You answered my question!

[Q] RE 2.3.3: AT&T Nexus One Users

Any AT&T Nexus One users successfully update with these files popping up? Is this like Froyo, where we have to wait for our version?

Yes, I just manually updated to Gingerbread. I can confirm that it works on the AT&T N1!

I can also confirm that it worked for me on my AT&T band Nexus One. I was complete stock 2.2.2 but needed to update my HBOOT to the newest one before it would accept the Gingerbread ROM

I think the OP is referring to when Froyo was first released, it was available on the T-Mobile version first and us AT&T folks had to wait for some time before we got our Froyo version.
Sometime after that all N1's ended up on the same Froyo version and now we have the same GB version.

I have a 850 Nexus One (that works with AT&T) and i received the notification here in Mexico, so yes, Gingerbread working!!!

Bingo
I guess I'll try updating HBOOT. Hopefully that's why mine isn't working.
Thanks all.

Not true. Ask any Vodafone user.

I'd rephrase it - "All N1s can run the same ROMs, starting with FRG33 - that includes both frequency variants and screen variants".

[Q] HD7S flashing help???

Hey I would like to flash the Deepshining v6.1 rom to my HD7S. I am wondering one thing, when I flash back to NoDo, will it affect the radio since it is not an AT&T radio? Oh and one more thing, if that doesn't bother it, then will the Deepshining rom mess it up since it is for the HD7 (Tmobile or other euro version) not the AT&T version? I just want to make sure the radio will work fine (getting 3g and all).
thanks!
P.S. if it will mess it up, is there another radio I can flash to make it work? I really want to be able to side load apps.

You should be fine, I flashed the DFT rom to my HD7s and everything is working fine

as already stated... will be fine.
each of the Custom ROMs are unbranded, so any can be used on any Schubert device with XSPL.
one can change the Radio of their device. link in my signature.

Thanks but.....
Hey thanks for all the replies but now that I have a custom rom on my HD7S everything works great except 3g. It shows the icon (an "H") but I cannot surf the web or anything. It just tells me to check my connection. There is no posted radio for att mango so I am using the EURO radio (latest with tethering). What is wrong?
Please help...

use HTC Connection Setup to fix your data.
H is 3G or 3G+, depends on the Custom ROM using and what the chef set it as.

How did you do it? Is everything still working?
Hi mtweisenbarger ,
I also have the ATT HD7S and would like to flash the DeepShinning rom as well. How is DeepShinning ROM working for you, currious to see if you are still using it.
Trying to follow all these instrunctions from different pages is quite confusing. I just wanted to find out if you had to use the GoldCard method. I think once I get that piece done the rest will be pretty simple, I just wanted to confirm that you had to use it.
Any followup and advise would be much appreciated!
Thx!
