Need Radio Help - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My name is Brian, I'm a member here obviously.... Had the username BFielding a while back, registered in 2007 if I remember correctly, but can't access or retrieve password for that account, different email now, so now I'm BFielding80...
Heres my problem... I can't get SH!T for help on this site, maybe because it's so overloaded, or maybe some a$$hole said dont help this person.... IDK
All I know is I ask a question and they RARELY get answered.... I'm at the point I'LL ****1N PAY U TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, I'VE BEEN ASKING THE SAME [email protected] QUESTION LONG ENOUGH...
I need radio help. I'm rooted, I run all the ROMs, always Froyo based.... I've never updated my radio from what it came with.... I have radio 32.26.00.24H_4.04.00.03_2
I haven't updated because I don't want to kill my AT&T 3g.... I've read that the TMo Froyo radio will kill my AT&T 3G so thats why I left my radio alone.... But now I'm reading that the newer radios are compatible either way, so I want to upgrade it.
I know I can go back if it does kill my 850/1900, but I would rather someone to just please just recommend me a radio as well as link, I'll adb it myself...
I need a radio for best 3G and battery life would be a plus, but 3G is more important, in my area I drop to edge frequently...
THE PERSON WHO HELPS ME WILL RECEIVE $10 US DOLLARS VIA PAYPAL
Thanks,
Brian

Well, I don't want your money but you should be fine flashing this new radio (32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04). Some people say they get improved battery life and some don't. Most seem to get better reception.

There is where you will get the newest radio image, it is identical to the one found in the Desire 2.2 update. You do not have to update HBOOT if you do not want to, though I could be wrong on that one, though I didn't have to when I did.
If you do not want this version of the radio as some people have trouble with it you can flash the radio that was uploaded by enomther:

Heh, no that is all right. By the way, I kept editing my post a fair bit, sorry.
So there are two 2.2 radios you could flash. The newer one does give you better reception though, I use the 4.06 one though, if you were curious.

PM me your PayPal addy please

I have a tmo n1 and I noticed better reception with the korean radio but I've noticed some roms don't give me better reception but sometimes WORSE. I'm on rodriguez r21 limemod using the 5.06 radio. Works well. Just one off those trial and error things. If you re on edge instead of 3g try the *#*#4636#*#* trick just remember if u you use wcdma only and lose 3g u lose all service and have to change back to wcdma preferred. Good luck...

The ROM shouldn't affect your reception to my knowledge. You may have different APNs set and that could cause issues but even that is a stretch.
What 5.06 radio? 4.06 or 5.08?

Just put both radios on my SD, I'll update through RA recovery, but yall think adb is better?

They both should have the same end result. I usually flash through recovery but to each his own. See which one you like better make sure you checked the MD5sum and make sure they match up.

Heh, let me know how it goes, I'll put a donate button in my signature along with other things once XDA allows me to. Signatures are not allowed for newer users in an effort to stop spam and such. Which is completely understandable. Just means I have to wait to add stuff I want down there. Enjoy.

you should not see any major difference between the two radios when it comes to battery life. i've been using 5.08 since it came out, i have a much more stable signal and battery life is the same for me.
you can also downgrade ur radio whenever you want... just flash the old radio through recovery... you'll be ok

Fastboot is, IMO, the most reliable way to flash a radio. I would rather not leave a brickable upgrade/downgrade up to a script, but that's just my paranoia kicking in. lol.

I have noticed a significant boost in my reception after flashing the 5.08 radio, I used to never get a scent of service in my house, now I'm seeing bars!

Just updated to 5.08. Much better reception now.

Best radio on Rogers Canada?

For those on Rogers, what do you find is the best radio to use with your Kaiser?
Try the one in my sig.. unless you're using that one.
I'm gunna try a bunch of other ones over the next few weeks, but i'll keep you posted.
FYI I'm with Fido but that shouldn't matter cuz Fido/Rogers uses the same cell towers.
I'll give it a shot. I'm currently using radio 1.58.16.27. I had read good things about it and it came pre-loaded on Dutty's latest ROM. I haven't tried any others yet. When I'm on the phone with this radio, it was crackling a bit but I'm unsure as to whether or not it was my phone or the phone with the person I was talking to. Only made one call as I just got my Kaiser the other day and have been playing around with the other great features of it.
Keep me posted on your findings. Thanks!
whatsup guys,
I've had my phone for a couple months now. 1.58.16.27 is, in my opinion, the best radio for me, in Ottawa. 1.64....21 works really well also.
btw, chek my sig for all radio downloads. I think I have uploaded most of them, if not all.
What's the RADIO thing?
How do you know if it's best or not?
I'm with Fido, and using Dutty April 9 Rom, do you guys have anything to suggest me?

If you check the ROM section in here you should be able to find your answer as to what exactly a RADIO rom is.
Now as for finding the best, each radio will have different effects for most people because of their locations plus carriers. So it's really hard to for someone else to tell you it's the "best" radio, that's something you have to find out yourself.. or have someone who uses the same carrier as you and that lives in the same general area as you.

I did do the search, but nothing was found. Maybe the definition of Radio is too simple to put it into words. I mean, as I understand it's simply a rom that connect to the frequency of the provider's tower...
The only reason I'm looking for it, is because I'm getting sick of having the Roaming logo on my phone. Because i'm with Fido and my phone is connect to Rogers tower.
You are using: 1.27.12.11... I'm using Dutty rom, and RAdio 1.58.16.27 now thou... should I go for yours instead?

the roaming logo will still be there no matter what radio u use...cuz ur still using a fido simcard...correct me if i am wrong...
use wisbar advance and then get a theme and u can not have the triangle...and have a good looking theme as well

Is that mean you have the roaming logo as well?
You'll get the roaming logo more often if your in the suburbs. Rogers is more predominant in the suburbs. Fido is more often found in Downtown Toronto or GTA.
Im using the radio on my sig for almost 3 weeks and reception and GPS is great. Battery life sucks though.
Im gonna back to the SEDNA radio 1.58.13.28 since i had a better battery life than this one.
i do have the logo but it doesnt show up cuz i'm using a vista theme with wisbar advance...i do this because it looks better...but having that triangle doesnt even bother me...not that big of a deal..cuz its not like i'm getting charged for roaming anyways...its because u have a fido sim card but using rogers towers..

Radio version question

I want to install WM 6.5 on my ATT tilt 8925. I just want to know what ROM and what Radio Version I can use, because the radio version is 1.65.21.18. I live in Puerto Rico and I don't know if I change the radio he can still work.
You can use any ROM as long as you are Hard-SPL'd and regards Radio it will come down to many variables and only you will be able to find best ROM/Radio combo..

Wouldn't it be great if one could just indicate where they need the phone to work, and a list of radios could be listed for that location?
I know it is simplistic. Getting tired as I age!

Ain't that the truth, funny thing is that all of the radios I have flashed work in my area. Even the japanese one, just some better than others.
Hi
I try to unlock the phone with JumpSPL 1.56, 1.93, and 1.94, and Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 and 3.29, and the phone don't install anything. It could be that my phone is refurbish?? What other options do I have?
I here you. Just so you know and are prepared. I have been flashing for 1 month straight and I cant get my phone to stay connected with anything other than the stock ROM. Not sure why but be prepared for a long battle. I have almost every radio available. Works for a day then dropped calls and network over and over.
I have a refurb and flash all the time. Follow instructions carefully and refer to sticky and wicki for help.

best radio for the new 2.1?

so what do you guys think is the best radio so far that works well with the new leak? ive got the newest radio installed, i have good battery life but the radio keeps pulling towers quite a bit. i usually just use the stock 1.5 radio but im worried it may be bad for 2.1 battery life.
any thoughts so far guys?
I notice that there is a huge standby time with the stock sprint radio.
I an currently using the verizon radio the one that ends with .09 and it is much better then battery.

Just cuz i'll get an average time of battery life when it charges one just sitting around and one where its going through the normal ins and outs

There is no best radio. they all work by location.. so what works for one will suck for another.. currently on the stock sprint radio works great for me..

Hey folks,
Many thanks to the unrevoked team for all the help they have done to move this community along, and for the toys they have provided us. Please DO NOT give me any credit for these.
Below you will find a link of the radios I am hosting. I take no credit for them, NOR DO I SUPPORT THEM. These are all at your own risk, and are provided without warranty, and any damage that comes from them, is your own fault. Using any of these voids your warranty.
How to install:
1. You need s-off via Unrevoked's tools.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
2. Once s-off has been obtained, power off phone. Hold DOWN volume and press power. This accesses the hboot screen. Rename to EXACTLY PB31IMG.zip The PB31IMG.zip needs to be on the base of your sd card. Hboot will see it and ask to update it. Do NOT battery pull or do this on low battery life.
MD5 calculator to check your file integrity:
http://www.md5summer.org/
MD5 checker for Mac's:
http://www.eternalstorms.at/md5/index.html
1. Install, and then download your file. Once done, right click and choose md5 calculator. Your number should match the appropriate one listed above.
Good luck, and have fun.

After you flash and boot up be sure to dial *228 or *22899 if you wanna skip the computer voice and go straight to updating your PRL
I take no credit for any of these. I just compiled the three I had on my computer since a bunch of links are down and uploaded them.

I've been using the Evo (11.19) radio on my phone for a while, and while it only slightly improved my signal, my battery life has been significantly increased, and my phone feels all-around smoother (could be the placebo effect though.)
Flashed it with no issues, I think everyone should give it a shot at least.

Thanks for pointing this out, I was multi tasking as I was doing this and since they are all the same name I thought I had the right one. Mediafire doesn't seem to want to let me upload anymore stuff. If anyone else notices a bad link let me know and I will find another place to upload it. Sorry for the confusion folks.

As bilbobrian pointed out the Evo radio link was the wrong one (i believe) go to menu>settings>about phone and check your baseband, if it isn't ending in 11.19 it isn't the evo radio and you should download from the new link provided by RegnierD. Since I haven't the bandwidth right now to verify it make sure you do an md5 check on it (you should *always* do this anyway) but don't worry the 09.01 radio came from the Evo as well and the 11.19 (new evo radio) has been tested by plenty.

I was using 11.19 for a bit (i went from 07.28 to 11.19) while 11.19 was better than 07.28 I decided to try 09.01 and my dBm got quite a bit better and my data speeds almost doubled.
This link has a 7.28 without the recovery in it with a working md5. I flashed it last night. http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=71
The 2.15.00.09.01 link is wrong. It downloads the 11.19 radio. Md5 is the same also.
I reupped them all. Renamed the file name a little so i wouldn't get links messed up again. downloaded and checked the md5's. all is good. Sorry about that guys, mediafire wasn't fun to mess with so i switched over to dropbox to get 'em right.
Just trying to give ya guys a place to download some radios since adrenalynes are down.
Edit: Also keep checking those md5's guys. This is a great example of that. Had these guys not checked the md5's they woulda flashed the wrong radio.

I love dropbox. Integrates so well. Only small complaint is you can't link a folder just files.
I wish dev's would use it more. So much less obnoxious with the direct download link. 2GB is plenty for apps/radios/roms/etc. Easy to get bonus free space. Free for life.
Added radio 2.05.00.06.11
i dled the 11.19 evo radio and my text messaging started getting 10 min delays, then 20 min delays and sometimes none. i flashed back to the official 7.28 radio to see if that solved the problem, and no it didnt. any ideas from anyone?

No idea. Something to do with your area at the moment? While I had the 11.19 radio flashed my text messages kept sending to people garbled up, it has done it once since I switched back so I figure it wasn't the radio. You may need to post this in Q&A so hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can help you.
7.28 provides a much more stable signal reading than 11.19 does. I finally made it around the same drive I took when I watched the signal on the 11.19 with the 7.28 and the 7.28 stayed at -54 the whole time. The 11.19 stayed at -77. Big difference over the same stretch of I-40.
How long will this take? I figure since people are doing battery pulls rather then waiting this must take a while.
Ten minutes maybe. It isn't a complicated thing to do in itself you just need to do some verifying of file integrity and follow the steps. People battery pulling are just TO impatient IMO. Sometimes things can go wrong though.
Thanks, signal sucks in my area and my battery is constantly dying trying to keep a signal. .45Mbps download is about average on my Dinc.

any word on how well the 6.11 radio works in comparison to 7.28 and 11.19?

[Q] Terrible Battery / Reception?

Well I just flashed over to CM 6.2 Extreamly Blue and I noticed a few things....
My reception seems to constantly go from Full, to none, then Back to full, all the while switching between 3g and 1x. But only in my house. My mom has a non rooted htc hero with the same PRL and her service follows the same pattern but it doesnt drain her battery like it does mine.
Any suggestions of what to do?
mine does that sometimes to on stable 6.1 but it don't affect my battery

Try going to the latest rooted 2.1 sense rom and updating your prl and profile a few times. Also you can try flashing a diff radio I use a Verizon radio because it gives me better service where I live. And lastly, the service bars on aosp/cm6 roms NEVER show correct signal anyways.

How do I flash a different radio? I know for a FACT that Verizon provides better service where I live. Also, once I do this, is it reversible once I do this?
Second..... Can I flash from 6.2 down to 6.1 WITHOUT wiping? Or would it best to go to my backed up 2.1 update my prl then do a fresh flash to 6.1.

For a fact verizon has better signal in my area as well. Lets start by saying people flash radios because they can provide different signal and or battery boost. You have to try diff radios to see how results go I have about 5 radios on my sdcard and i gave them about a day of use to test each. One way to check is to go to cm settings and select user interface, then status bar and from there check show dbm(signal strength) and hide the signal bars. Coverage is so bad in my home but the desire radio jumps my home signal from -110dbm to about -76dbm which is really good compared to 110. Anything over -90dbm isnt really good coverage. You can flash these radios from any rom just need to be rooted. BE really careful though i have a cdma hero which means cmda radios only. If you flash a radio from a gsm phone/hero you WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. You can do this from a sense rom if you want but im just on cm6.1 stable. And to answer your last question, it is very reversible; you can flash radio after radio like I have done but once again just be careful not to flash any gsm radios. Hope this helps man.
Heres the radio i use, i recommend for best results give each radio about a day

This is how to flash a radio
http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/
That site has a handful of cdma radios that would work on your cdma hero just browse around. Theres also a new radio thats hanging around one of these threads (.29 radio) but it doesnt help much cause coverage sucks like the (.27) stock radio. To check which radio you are on just go to settings then about phone, then it says it under BASEBAND version.
The list of known radios/basebands:
1.04.01.09.21 (old 1.5)
2.32.40.11.09 (eris/desire)
2.41.04.02.02
2.42.00.03.10
2.42.01.04.27 (2.1 ruu radio)
2.42.02.10.29 (newest sprint radio)

Nah your cool man, umm typically flashing a radio plays along with your PRL, some people say certain radios dont play nice with their PRL, but it has never happen to me(if it does just go to a 2.1 sense rom and try to update it with your profile and should be fine). Your PRL will remain the same; though ive been on many PRL'S and diff radios and never had any issues what so ever. As long as you are up to date with the latest PRL then your phone wont go crazy and be stuck in roaming mode lol. Some people create their own PRL's and put them in and etc. But your PRL isnt changed, just radio man if thats what your asking im kind of half asleep.

Dude try it man I love the Verizon radio its freaking sick...for me at least. My coverage was so bad they gave me a free sprint airrave(mini cell tower box). But I get a 40% signal increase with the radio I posted for the other dude.
Bad coverage/signal = bad battery life

The best way and easiest is to just use rom manager download the radio then go to rom manager and install zip from SD card find the radio click on it do not wipe or anything then rom manager will boot into recovery and install then it'll turn of and on and you'll see the android Guy with a black screen then it'll reboot again and you'll see a a box with an arrow then your phone will reboot again normally and it should be installed but make sure your using clockworkmod with rom manager

Just curious.... All of the radios on this site say for 2.1, even though im on CM6 2.2.1, Will i be ok if I flash the radio you provided?
Refer to my post above and yes radios work on all roms they go deeper than the rom itself so even nanding will not change it
Also, can I flash it just like a rom with Rom manager?
