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!

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.
What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.
I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.
The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.
but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?
Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.
Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.
hey guys, got a incredible s that had cm7 and flashed it back to a stock sasktel fw i believe because calling didnt work. calling now works but internet does not..it has service and i can send and recieve texts and make and recive calls but cant connect to internet.In setting under mobile networks it says "use phone for data connection when wifi is unavaible" but when i turn it on it says it wont connect because service is unavaible even when it has full service! HELP
You gave to go to the apn settings and input them manually for your provider
I would say your radio is incorrect possibly a froyo when it should be gingerbread

Just a question what is the radio on the bell GB?
I'm on Telus so looking for the best signal.
I would try either arhd or unity btw, both great roms.

The radio in the Bell GB is version 1; most the the others floating around are version 2. The latest Sasktel GB Rom has the most recent version 2 radio and that is what I have flashed on my unlocked Bell IncS.

Android revolution HD is a great ROM to start with as it includes sense and is practically bug free.
Hey guys, I lost my WiFi Calling feature after flashing Maximus ROM. I have T-Mobile (USA). Does anyone know what the SIP account details are? If not, I'll just flash the Revolution 7.4 ROM. Thanks in advance!
Bump once and never again if no help...
I am running CM-11 Android 4.4.4 HTC One Verizon.
I have noticed that I never connect to LTE when using the default preferred network type of CDMA+LTE/EvDO, however if I change it to LTE I often can connect using LTE however then I cannot receive phone calls.
I have been looking for updated firmware for the radio however I have been unable to find them for 4.4.4. My baseband version is 1.13.41.0109_2. I have seen updates but they are all for 4.4.3. Can I use the firmware for 4.4.3 for Android 4.4.4? If not where can I find them?
Thanks,
Kirk
PS: this is my first time running a rooted custom rom so please bear with me.
