How to Update Radio - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all I would like to say sorry for the pretty noob question, but I can't seem to find complete information about this. I am using Cyan 5.0.6-N1 ROM and am having problems with my BT connection to my headset. I have checked the headset against other phone and it seems the problem is with my N1. I was considering updating my radio version, since I know from winmo experience that the radio part is responsible for BT, WiFi, 3G signal etc.
The question is how to upgrade the radio ROM, since I couldn't find a pretty clear procedure (yes, i looked on xda, as well as google) and some compatibility list. As far as I understood, the worst one can do about N1 is to upgrade the ROM to an incorrect version against the SPL installed. This can brick your phone, according to this thread.
When looking in my N1 at settings, I can see:
baseband version: 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
kernel: 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod
mod version: CyanogenMod-5.0.6-N1.
I assume the baseband version contains the radio version, at least this is my understanding. How do I know what other radio version I can install in order not to brick my N1 and, hopefully, solve my BT problem?
thanks,

PS. If you think this has been answered already, a simple link to the solution is enough for me.

Download this RADIO
Place it on your SDCARD
Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file... reboot phone and you're done.

I saw that newer radio and I decided to flash after reading this thread and when the phone rebooted it went to an screen that showed a box with an arrow and a little android, the phone then rebooted and went straight the recovery menu.
Then I wipe cache, dalvik and battery starts and rebooted the phone one more time after that and the phone started normally. (Got scared at first when I caw the box and the Android)

Thanks a lot!!

Radio version field blank

Hey,
I'm kinda new around here, and after a whole lot of reading, searching and browsing through the forums, trinityguides and personal blogs, i was able to flash my p3600 into a new rom (tnyynt's one).
However, I must have done something wrong. When I first updated the radio (to version 1.56.xx), although everything went by the book and the flash was successful, the version that the rom announced afterwards (at the time still the original wm5) was the old one (1.38.xx). Thinking it might be a rom issue, I flashed my p3600 with tnyynt's rom hoping that it would be fixed. It wasn't, it seemed still in the old version.
Then I tried again to upgrade the radio, only this time to 1.50.xx. Now the fields that should display the radio version appear blank, with nothing on it, though the phone and wi-fi capabilities work (haven't tested the rest yet).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for all the work being done here. I've discovered this forum only days ago and I'm absolutely dazzled by what's been doing here!
Cheers!
PS. An aside: can I use SDHC cards now? Is tnyynt's rom ready? :x Sorry for the long post...
Oh, I noticed now that the IMEI field is also shown as blank. Any ideas on what's happening? Should I reflash the radio again?
Cheers!

help!When I use the Ion, my G1 lost the signal and it can't find it anymore

Just as the title, I restart the phone and it can't find the signal either.So I recovery the RC29, and It can catch the signal after the system is up, but in a while , the signal become bad and lose it again.So does any body know what I can do?
Please Search and post in the right thread/forum. Thank you.
Mine did that to until I just flashed to the radio on Haykuro's blog and it worked fine from then on. Hope this helps
It's very strange, as the radio version was the newest when I use Ion. And I meet this problem before, this problem was fixed after I flash G2's radio. And this problem seams always happened when I use the network. I don't know whether it has the matter with the order that I flash the rom. I just recovery to RC29 and flash the radio and flash ADP1.5 rom. Thanks any way.

at&t tilt sound problem after incoming call

hi forum. i have been looking around to solve this problem but i wasn't able to find a solution yet so i am asking here.
i had a tilt working great, i had an accident and the phone is destroyed so i get another one.
it is the same phone but it just don't have the camera, this one came with a new version of windows mobile(6.1).
i am now having this issue, when i get an incoming call and i answer i can't hear anything from the other side and the other side can't hear me either.
after that, the phone gets totally muted, it don't make any more sound when sliding or whatever.
the only way to fix it is reboot the phone, that way i get sound again but after i get an incoming call the problem happens again.
the problem wasn't happening if i made the call but today i made a long call and after a while talking i got a constant buzz, the buzz only stopped after i turned off the phone.
any help will be apreciated as i am totally lost here.
thanks.
Have you tried flashing a different radio or a different ROM?
talking with my vendor it seems that he flashed the rom and maybe the porblem can be the radio.
i am reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182 but i dont have idea wich radio should i download and either how to make the installation.
my device information is:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
Rom date: 07/17/2008
Radio Version: 1.70.OliNex
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
so maybe the radio is not compatible with the rom and that is why i am having issues with the sound ?
That is a possibility. The nice part about flashing radios is that they are completely independent from the ROM. When you flash a radio it won't flash or reset your device. Therefore, you can flash and test as many radios as you want without any real negative side-effects Just stick with the one that ends up working the best for you!
Digital Outcast, thank you for your help.
do you think you or someone can point me to a tutorial to flash the radio only ?
i am finding how to update the rom but not the radio only.
thank you again.
To flash the radio follow the same steps as flashing the ROM. You need only the radio (.nbh file) and the Kaiser Custom RUU. Just don't do a hard-reset or anything after it completes!
cool, i installed a new radio and it fixed that problem, i am checking other common features of the phone, for now everything seems to be fine.
thank you very much for your help
Problem with incoming call
I have exactly the same problem and the same versions of software and firmware. Which version of the radio firmware did you install? Where did you get it? This is my first use of a smart phone and don't know much at all about where to get this.
Thanks!!

Start by reading the stickies. Always best place to start. Or if you are lazy and wish to just jump to radios use this >link<. But I definitely recommend you read all the stickies before flashing a device for the first time. Just start with the newest radio and work backwards til you find a good one for your device.

notification light

I searched around the forums (LOVE THEM!) and couldnt find the answer so I figured it was okay to ask the question
The notification light on my G1 never turns off, it's always set to show the battery status instead of blinking with a missed call/txt/whatever
ideas?
please post your current ROM, Recovery, SPL, Radio, whether or not you use apps2sd...and anything else that we may need to know to diagnose your problem. Thanks...

T-Mobile G1
ROM: Cyanogen 4.1.999
SPL: Hard SPL
Radio: ... I havent touched this? Im not evne too sure what it is, so im assuming default/stock ota? how do I check
Recovery: RA-dream-v1.2.3

if you dont know... you should update to the 26I radio
it can be found in the bootloader (cam+power)
for the us g1, last two digits are usually 29 or 26. (26 is the latest)
you can also find this info in the about phone section in settings under baseband
if its happening on the stock rom too, its probably a hardware issue. you wouldnt happen to have any apps that would mess with this setting, would you?

yup I had the 26... what exactly is the radio?
but yea, It happens all the time when im flashing, when im in the spl... whenever
the radio manages all the wireless stuff in the phone such as the phone itself, bluetooth, wifi..etc
it also calls the spl, which loads the whole phone up
if its happening all the time, its a hardware issue and you should contact tmobile and see if they replace it. if so, unroot your phone before sending it in
im thinking this has to be some sort of software issue because it works for battery/charging/whatever... and apps can have their notification pop up over the steady green light
well then its an app. go back to complete stock and see if the problem persists. remove all your applications, and go to the stock RC29 image, update to 1.6 OTA and see if it still happens.....
does the light stay on in the recovery (Home+power) or bootloader mode (cam+power) when your phone is not charging? if it does.....its a hardware problem

[Q] Wow I feel lost...

I bought my G1 on the first day I could. I rooted it as soon as you could so I could get apps to SD and bump up the CPU a bit. I loved this phone. I eventually upgraded to an HD2 so I could run Android on it and stick with T-Mobile. I just booted my G1 back up so that I could install some apps to use it as a remote webcam. I did a factory reset and then got stuck during the activation screen. I know you can use ADB to bypass this but I figured I might as well just install a new rom on it that can activate the wifi during the startup process.
This is where I feel lost. I haven't booted up my G1 in ages and thus I haven't flashed it in ages. I would like to install this rom: The Official "KANGED" CM7 for DS ... but I don't have the correct SPL or Radio I am guessing. I currently have HBOOT-1.33.2005 and Radio 2.22.19.26I. I have a recovery image installed (RA-dream-v1.6.2) so I can flash roms and radios and such but I am having trouble finding threads that talk about the proper files to install. If somebody could just point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

this will have all the needed info
so to clarify - via fastboot update recovery then radio then spl
when finished download rom and gapps
congrats your done!
Well, there's also a way to flash these RADIO and SPL, shown by YOU (demkantor) but as he said, fastboot is a little bit more complicated for me, but if you have it , just use fastboot. And remember, 'Fastboot is your Friend' !!!
