I would like to try some of the Froyo ROMs out there after my CM5.0.7.1 is beginning to get a bit unstable.
After the first Froyo ROMs where launched I read that some people had problems switching back to CM because of a new radio version - is this still the case with for example Modacos r17 froyo ROM? Or can I just switch back to CM if I prefer this?
I would like to be able to switch between the ROMs and I am not comfortable with flashing radio images, because I am afraid to brick my device.
i have switched back and forth between cyanogen 507 and froyo, and each time i flash the radio as well. the new froyo radio will break video on cyanogen. and the old radio on froyo will break video and camera on froyo. so really you should switch radios as well.
but i THINK the newest cyanogen test release has incorporated the froyo radio, and made everything work. so you might be able to just use that and not have switch radios.
See my sig..
5.0.8 + Froyo Radio
NO issues whatsoever..
Ok, that sounds very encouraging
How about the risk of bricking the device? I recall this being an issue with flashing the radio?
I have Amon_RA 1.6.2 as recovery, standard radio and CM 5.0.7.1 as of now.
If I download the r17 froyo from Modaco, is the radio included in the .zip or should I upgrade the radio before flashing the ROM?
... and how about CM5.0.8? New radio for this as well? Or just video that will be "broken"?
... and a last question before i go to bed:
I just flashed 5.0.8, discovered I went from HSDPA to only EDGE - flashed back to 5.0.7.1 and still only have Edge?! Any Ideas on how to solve this?

yes cyanogen ROMs have the build.prop file changed usually. you lose HSUPA when you switch to cyanogen. so somewhere along the way, you probably saw the thread where people were editing their build.prop and changed to:
hsxpa=2
if you flash cyanogen, you wont have that setting. just change it and you should be all set.
the new cyanogen 5.0.8 works with the new froyo radio with no broken video i believe.

It is my download, not upload? I have always used cm with no problems with data until now.
I dont know what build.prop is either?
What can I do to get the speed on my data back?
It seemed just to be temporary :-D Back to the other questions

It's been sending for about 10 minutes so far :O
I'm a little worried. Thanks,
It could take awhile.... Which radio did you flash? are you still in the screen where the android is out of the box? Be patient bro, no matter what dont take out the battery, or you will brick your device.

Hey rjhay22, thanks for the fast reply.
I flashed back to 4.04 from 4.06 as I was having some serious signal problems and random reboots ever since I updated to Froyo.
It just started writing to radio then the following error
writing 'radio' ... FAILED (remote: image update error) finished.

Ugh can't be too good...
I can still get into recovery, and I just flashed back to the stock ROM without any problems so I don't think I bricked it. Any idea as to why the radio won't flash? Checked the md5 and it was alright. Possibly a prob with the USB cable/laptops end?
Yah, must be a bad download, I suggest downloading the file again and try. which ROM are you on and which radio are you trying to flash? is it the IMG file? or the update.zip file?
If youre trying to flash 4.0.2 (stock) / 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 versions heres a link for an update.zip version.

these radios are Eclair ROM radios, if you're using FroYo then you should use, 4.0.6. otherwise it'll give you camera FC.

Currently just reverted back to Cyanogen 5.0.6 and trying to get back to 4.0.4. Would the best route be to go into recovery and just flash the zip to do this? I was a little scared of doing it before considering my phone was crashing but I'm pretty sure it's stable in recovery.
(I was trying to flash via cmd with the img file in my tools folder before).
Yes, I find it to be easier and less scary to go through the update.zip file... And the link I gave you, I've been using those files to go back and forth on radio. Good luck brother.

so do you guy sreally think that the froyo radio is faulty somehow, particularly for the ATT version of the N1? i'm thinking of going to froyo, but not sure about the new radio (i'm happy with current radio). but then i hear about video problems without new radio.
is it that easy to bounce back and forth?
Hello again lol. Froyo radio works a lot better than the previous ones for me at least. There isn't anything wrong with it, now this might not be true on yours since you are from another carrier . But you can always switch back to the old one, whatever works best for you.

Ok cool, I just gotta figure how how to tell what radio I'm currently using. I'm sure its the previous one that we've been using.
which will be the exact steps to revert my att band N1 to eclair again?
Should i first flash 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio and then cyanogen's mod? or firts cyanogen's mod and then the 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio?
im willing to to this, because my gps is not accurate with froyos radio...
Works either way

rjhay22, do you think that the oficial release of froyo will have a better radio for all att band N1's? couse mine is kinda sucky right now... the gps is slow and inaccurate...
What yave you heard, will froyo have 850 and 900 separeted radios?
As of now, google has been quiet about what's going to be in the official release. We can only hope that if they include a different radio in that release, that it would work perfectly on both ATT and T-Mobile devices.

You can tell which radio you are using by going into the bootloader; a few lines from the top I believe.
Also in the main settings menu it shows baseband version and it looks like 4. 00. 04 or something like that. Isn't that the radio info?
How long should it take to flash Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF over stock 26.03.02.26_M??? It's been going a good while now and I'm getting freaked out!!
Judging by the radio model, you posted in the wrong forum.
I just rooted my Nexus yesterday to Cyans mod. I ve rooted before (tons of ROMS on my G1) so Im not a complete noobie. The ROM runs absolutely perfect and smooth EXCEPT for when I try to record video. Every time, and I do mean every time I try to record a video, the phone freezes for like 3 secs, and then reboots.
Camera shoots photos fine, and this is the only problem I have, but it is becoming a problem, considering I just bought the phone I searched the forms for this problem, and used multiple search strings and found no results.
Has anyone ran into this problem, and if so have you found a fix for it?
**MODS..I deeply apologize if this is in the wrong section.I worked a 10 hour shift and am half asleep while writing this. Please feel free to move if you see fit**
**EDIT..ok..NOT COOL...I just tried to watch a video, and that also no longer works. Anyone know of a fix for this?
Same issue here. Meh...
Ended up switching to Froyo. Hope Cyanogen keeps up.

If you've flashed the 'Froyo' radio then you'll have to downgrade it before video will work, or move (back) to Froyo.
If you haven't changed radio then I have no idea!
same here. the test video i took when i got the (ph)one was amazing quality so i'm looking forward to this working again!
If you guys were EVER on Froyo. It updated your radio. If you then went back to CM builds, you will need to downgrade your radio to the eclair radios in order for the camcorder to work properly.
The phone hasnt been on Froyo (that I know of), so thats not causing my problem. I tried to flash the prerelease before I was rooted, but it was US only and didnt work. I didnt however update my radio when I flashed to Cyan, but I was told this wasnt causing the problem. At this point, anything to get my cam and videos working again!
Would be awesome if Cyan, the man himself, could hook us up with a fix or some advice on this one!

if you attempted to flash the froyo stock update, it included the new radio. its very possible that it successfully flashed your radio, but failed to install the froyo ROM. you can easily check if you have the new radio by going into your settings and checking the baseband version. i bet you are on the new froyo radio, which is known to break video with all 2.1 ROM's. and vice versa, the old radio breaks camcorder on 2.2 ROMs.
so each time you jump between a 2.1 and 2.2 ROM, you have to flash the associated radio as well.
GOOD POINT BRO. I will check this now...
**EDIT** that was it..I must have went to Froyo radio unknowingly. I flashed the stock Nexus radio, and vids and video recording are now working just fine.
Hope this thread helps the others. I foolishly searched "cant record videos" and found nothing, when I should have searched "cant play videos", as there are many threads on that one.
Again, thanks for your help!! Didnt expect a solution so quickly!!
It also seemed to give me 3g problems when I just flashed back, but I ll deal with that one tomorrow after work
Same issue
I have a n1 with 5.0.7.1 and my phone also reboots upon trying to launch the camcorder feature. I'm going to try out the new 5.0.8 test3 with 720p hack add-on and see how that goes.

Any luck? I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod 5.0.8 and immediately after updating I noticed the change. I can watch videos in Gallery just fine, but trying to record (or open Settings) in the camcorder mode causes the phone to hang and then reboot.
I never once tried to get anywhere near Froyo. I'm still waiting for CM6. Any advice on how to restore video functionality? Should I downgrade to the previous version of CyanogenMod? Is that even possible?
As I said, I highly doubt this is a Froyo issue, but it's clearly related to upgrading to CM 5.0.8.

So, to be perfectly clear, did you or did you not update your radio before flashing 5.0.8?

I am not aware of ever having modified any "radio" functionality on my Nexus One. I bought the phone retail at the beginning of May, so it had stock 2.1. About a week later I flashed via USB to whatever version of CyanogenMod was current then. (I'm sorry and embarrassed I can't be more specific.) Everything worked flawlessly.
Then about three days ago, I downloaded the CyanogenMod Updater app from the Marketplace and used that to move to CM 5.0.8. I also performed a backup with Titanium, from which I restored after updating to CM 5.0.8. Since this was done, I my phone freezes and reboots whenever I try to record video. I mentioned the Titanium backup because perhaps the Restore System Data feature resulted in broken settings. But I do recall seeing "720p video" in the changelog to CM 5.0.8, so I'm guessing that's probably the culprit.
I don't understand how the radio would be affecting my camera, but I'm willing to try anything. If we assume that somehow the CM update did change my radio settings, how would I go about correcting that? Should I just wait for CM6, or is this radio problem likely to persist if I don't address it specifically? Is regressing to an earlier version of CM an option?

D'oh. This was clearly it. Because I got CM 5.0.8 via the CyanogenMod Updater app, I did not see that I was supposed to update the radio to Froyo independently of installing CM.
I tracked down the radio image (the Full Update Guide has all the info, for any interested persons) and flashed with that, and sure enough, I know have smooth 720p video recording.
Thank you so much for bluntly and persistently calling my attention to the radio image issue. I'm going to go back to playing with my favorite toy now. =)
Am having some problem with my nexus one ive notice since i wipe my phone and install froyo, i tried going back to my cyano 5.0.6 but my camera isnt working whenever i switch to recorde a video the phones automatically reboots,but when i flash the froyo rom the camera is working perfectly there but when i try going back to my cyanogen its not working, anybody know what the problem is, also today i flashed cy 5.0.7 and am having the same problem.

Okay... I bought a gently used N1 and the previous owner has it Rooted and flashed to FroYo... I am wanting to try out CM5.0.8t5, but I can't find any directions for going from 2.2 back to CM.
What are the steps I need to switch over? Thanks in advance!
just flash it man - maybe change the radio to the old one.
Damnit... I thought I was posting in Q&A... that's what I get for having too many windows open at the same time. Thanks for moving it.
wipe, flash CM, flash GAPPS....... Froyo radio works on CM5.0.6Test now
So... next question... does Adobe Flash 10.1 work on CM?
No the flash does not work on CM 5.0.8 t5. Since the new CM uses the foryo radio just download the the rom. wipe everything and flash away.
I've been flashing back and forth between cm6 and cm7 and having all kinds of weird issues. The first time through I went from cm6 to cm7 RC1 and upgraded the radio based on the advice of a friend to Radio 5.08.00.04 found here. I had crazy battery life issues even after completely wiping the device, the sd card, and running zero apps. I rolled back to cm6 and had continued battery issues. I then rolled the radio back to Radio 4.06.00.12_7 which seemed to possibly have resolved the battery issues but when using cm6 I started having issues with the alarm and some other stuff.
I have decided to try the most recent cm7 nightly but I need to know if this requires a radio upgrade. If it does, should I be using the 5.08 radio again or should I be using the 5.12 radio?
I live in the US and am running an AT&T Nexus 1. I am using amon ra recovery.
edit: It appears the 5.12 radio link on the wiki is broken. If it ends up that I should be using it, could someone also provide a valid link if you have it? Thanks.
If you're running Gingerbread I would recommend 5.08 since that is what GB comes with.
I uploaded the 5.12 radio for you thought if you need it:
