ok hey guys i was wondering, Once you root your phone and install a custom rom is there any way to go all the way back to the original rom and unroot? i also wanted to know how do we know if we need to update the radio? or does that only apply to gsm phones?

The search button is there, so I would use it.

Thats not ONLY for unrooting, but it has the steps there to get back to 100% stock and unroot.
As far as I know, there isn't really a way of knowing if you NEED to flash an updated radio, but there's no harm in trying the ones available, and seeing if you notice any difference in them.
thanks. and yea your right i blanked out about the search bar. lol ok but about the radio, i can update it and everything will be fine?
Before updating your radio make sure it's for CDMA and not GSM. Before I knew what I was doing with my phone I applied a GSM radio update and bricked my phone.
If you are running a 1.5 based ROM there really isn't a need to update the radio.
does that also count if im going to install the pancake 2.1 rom?
pankcake 2.1 is a 2.1 ROM. Check the Baseband version under Setting->About Phone->Software Information to see what version you are running after you flash pancake 2.1. If you would like to upgrade check out "Radios" section on the CDMA Hero ROMs at
wiki . xda-developers . com / index . php ? pagename = CDMA %20 Hero %20 ROMs
(Had to split up URL since I'm a noob user on the forum.)
geekfor . me also has a nice radio section.
And as flipz states
Different radios work differently depending on where you are in the country. You may actually get better performance out of another radio. Test them out.

oh wow. different radios =better signal! how cool! i am really worried about bricking my phone. I need my phone and i really want to but im scared. im trying to learn all i can befor i do it. can you un brick?

You can't unbrick all you can do is replace. I was able to get a replacement phone when I bricked my phone by applying a GSM radio update by mistake.
If you apply a CDMA radio update from the Radios section on the CDMA Hero ROMs wiki page then you should be good. Follow the instructions on the Geek For Me FAQ. Flipz knows his stuff.
As with any update I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you apply it just in case the update has undesired affects.
I'm currently running 2.42.00.03.10 on Fresh 2.0d with no issue.
Good luck!
Hi all,
Sorry for NOOB question here but not really got time to trawl through all the threads if it already been answered somewhere..
Am i ok to flash the radio after the rom i read some instructions which said to do the radio first but i have already flashed a desire rom and want to try a different radio.
Also what exactly is the difference in the radio version? i;m assuming potentially better call quiality or signal strength and is there any way to tell which radio version i currently have?
Thanks in advance.
Im currently running modaco r22 an im looking to try out one of the froyo roms but i saw that i have to update my radio i was wondering if i update my radio so i can install the froyo rom if it will stay updated, if i dislike the the froyo rom an want to come back to modaco do i have to degrade the radio? or if i do a nandroid backup i dont have to worry about downgrading the radio?
(if anybody would like to help) *which is the best froyo rom?*
Wrong forum, this should be in Q&A. But if you want to go back to a non-Froyo ROM, you can flash a 4.03/4.04 radio just like you did the 4.06 to downgrade.
oh sorry for placing it in the wrong forum, so basically if i get a froyo rom an dislike it i just have to flash the radio i have now?
If you go to cyanogen 5.0.8 you don't need to downgrade radio. On any other non froyo rom you need to downgrade radio.

Some people get crazy when stuff's posted in the wrong place.
Basically, if you upgrade to CM 5.08 or a Froyo-based ROM, you'll need the 4.06 (Froyo) radio.
If you decide to go back to a 2.1 (non CM 5.08) ROM, you'll want to downgrade your radio as well, otherwise some things may not work properly (camera, etc.).
Thread moved to Q&A.
Oh ok thanks a lot tjsimm... I really appreciate it.

No problem. As for the ROMs, I've been enjoying Kang-o-Rama 0.9. It's now in Final, and it's rock solid. Haven't had any issues at all.
I've been looking for hours on this site and many other sites and I CANNOT find what I am looking for ..yes I went thread by thread but I just CANNOT find what im looking for.Im wanting to run Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my g1 but I just dont know where to find the latest radio image/SPL/kernal.I might have found the kernal but I desperately need help finding everything anyways just in case I might have missed something.Thanks
umm did you try this? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream
It has links for everything that you need.
it showed me that i was running EBI0 but i could not download the new radio becasue im assuming its outdated and the link didnt work neither . =[ ?
OK I have a rogers dream so it's not exactly the same but I will see what I can do to help.
What do you have now? radio/spl/ROM
Do you have root?
Once you let me know these things I will see what I can find.
I have the Cyanogenmod 6.1 with the dangerspl . i think its the latest one. and I have 2.22.19.26I radio
OK Then I am misunderstanding what you want. As your already running Cyanogen 6.1
I might be wrong , but I think you are after this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
its the radio/spl for the extra 15mb ram
note you will need a compatible kernel, if it is CM6.1 then I think the easiest to use is Firerat's Magpie, A friend set mine up but I'm getting into the swing of things
google for "firerat magpie" , but I can't remember if you need to be logged in to cyanogen to be able to follow links
Hi all,
sry i have to start this topic but search here/other forums and even google gave me no results.
i whish to use Biffmod 2.1 on my HTC Dream /Dev Edition
in ROM topic is said:
"Radio Required: 2.22.23.02"
i just wanted to know (i´am EU-User) if i could go with "2.22.19.26i Non US" or is it simply not possible. so that i have to use 2.22.23.02
are there issues when using a US Radio in EU?
or does this have nothing to do with localisation
thanks and greetz
You can use both radio images, but probably you would like to use the +14MB RAM hack. You need a special kernel for that but this is existing. You should read in this thread and you can download the 2708-BiffMod from here.
To be honest, I never tried BiffMod. I am using Gingerbread now
thanks for the heads up.
but just to be clear. what you´re trying to teach me is, that flashing to a up(to)date radio and SPL (death spl) isn´t enough to run biffmod?
i even have to some how "manage" to get the 14MB+ RAM and ne kernel.
sry i´am a little confused now. working in this rom flash the whole day
greetz
You can use the "standard" method, i.e. DangerSPL, but I would not recomend it. You can gain additional 14MB RAM (not internal memory!) If you go with the other combo. The only "disadvantage" is, that you need a kernel which supports this combo.
It's your turn now to decide

After reading I'm assuming that the suggested route is following ezterry's hboot and radio update before installing Biffmod v2.1? I'm currently running a G1 with the 1.33.2005 HBOOT, 2.22.19.26I Radio, and CM6.1.0-ds. Also does Biffmod's ROM include the kernel or is it the ROM itself because ezterry's post suggested installing the kernel but I'm not sure if the ROM includes it.
Thanks
