Radio issue - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I sold my captivate to a friend that lives in NY, and before I shipped it to him it got signal fine, but it won't work for him. He's flashed other roms and modems. Does anyone have any idea

It might be worth letting us know what rom/kernel he's on, as well as what modems he has tried. The more info you can give, the better.

Well he when I sent him the phone he was running the continuum gingerbread with the modem in that version,and the reoriented kernal. The dev section has a lot of new stuff since I had my captivate. I'll get with him and get all the correct info

Have him flash the phone to stock and verify that it works.
Could be the sim card as well.

From looking at the attached thread, it should still be possible to edit the files successfully without an existing backup.

this is a service rather than full sbf so you have to manually wipe your data and cache using android recovery, if you dont know how to do that do a search

What kind of wrong radio will brick my phone?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
No radio will brick your phone unless it's foyo. There are however region released radios. However it doesn't really matter, boot any radio newer than yours and you'll be fine. Reception doesn't really change between choices unless you skip a couple months.

Unsigned radios can brick your phone too.

check the md5 checksum which is provided. TO check md5 checksum google for "md5 checker" or similar
Yes it will, and it will increase data speed, providing you find the right one. I'm using ViperVivo Rom with 11m works best for me.

I also updated my radio and i think the battery and signal also improved!

HTC vivid ril

I have an HTC Vivid, and I have the sense 4 port on it, which most of us know that the ril is broken... Well the ril is broken because of the system its self. Now my question is, can we make a new hybrid software? With android 4.0.3 and sense 4? Or can we just use the ril from sense 3.6? Please any ideas or suggestions will be taken seriously, it's time the vivid becomes the phone it was meant to be

If that was possible I'm sure a dev would have done it. Sense frameworks is really complicated

I was under the impression that with ICS or JB that you didn't need a RIL, at least that is how it was with the HTC Inspire.
Anyway you can try GetRil from the market, that is what I used. So hopefully it's the same for the Vivid
