Check and see what her Baseband version is maybe it listed there.Just a word of Warning as I'm sure you already know this.But just in case don't flash anything that is for a GSM Hero radio.IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

You can flash back to the last one,I believe it was .27 the newest that came with this latest update was .29.If you flashed the radio that was posted .29 and want to go back just download it from Flipz site and flash it or you can go back to the radio that you had.It's ok like I said I go back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 alot and use the same radio.
Dose any one have a link to non Sprint radio. I'm running a 2.2 rom sense group heroc v8.5. Would a radio for 2.2 work?

how
how did u get froyo 2.2 for alltel htc hero?i too have the same radio,and cannot find any roms for froyo 2.2 for alltel.ive already rooted.
First flash back to a 2.1 stock based rom. Then go into your dialer and type ##775# and it should update your radio.

##775# is to set up prl updates. It dose not give an option to update the radio.

Unless you can find a more recent alltel hero system dump (unlikely), your best bet would be to RUU back to stock/nand restore if you have it, then go do all the system updates and such. RUU updates are the ones that contain radios. If there isn't one then you can't have a newer radio, if there is one do it - but you will lose root. I would suggest you get s-off first in case they patched root. Good luck.
I did find a update here
http://www.pcdphones.com/
But it did not have a radio update. I did find a link for prl and download update did ##775# when I was on the alltel rom. Its alot better now thanks to all.

[Q] Updating Radio - Nexus One

Hi,
I'd like to know if I must have a rooted nexus one to update my radio version.
thanks!
Depends how you do it...
Some of the official Google updates include an updated radio also, so if you can install them, you will get the radio update with them.
The biggest factor is probably which version of Android you are currently on, which radio you currently have, and which radio you want, etc...?

You do not to be rooted. Flash radios via fastboot.

Which requires an unlocked bootloader...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Yes, It's not the only way but the easiest way. Not so easy if you're on gingerbread though because gingerbread root right now still under construction. You'll need to downgrade and root it. Or unlock the boot loader and flash custom rom to acquire root. You can easily flash radio via recovery. Easiest way.

What is the best radio rom (long-life battery)

2 ? For soak tester when you get update

1. When you get it is it the same build # as the leaked update.
2. If its different and you have the leaked update were you able to update successfully
Thank you for any info you can provide.

Upload the new update here so we can get it

Yeah be good to know this info.
Tho not sure to what extent it would go to check prior to install, guessing any higher version numbering on the build we'd be able to update normally.
Would have to have a higher version number.

Firmware upgrade from x.xx.xxx.1 to .2

Flashed a the new radio, then pushed the latest firmware after having data drop off issues or no data in good signal areas. The radio flashed fine. And pushing the firm thru fastboot had no errors. But I seem to have worse data connectivity. Anyone know how I check if the firmware took, or did flashing the radio before hand adversely effect the install. I have asked in the appropriate sections, but unfortunately it's gone unanswered.

Maybe because no one else has problems with thr new radio? If the radio was flashed ok it shouldn't jave any problems. You can check your radio version in settings about software info more, baseband.
The latest is 3.62....
If you have problems you can revert to the previous firmware and radio if you are s-off

I mistakenly read the build number. If you know this much I don't see why you can't downgrade your firmware if it's causing issues

i'm not the one with the problem, just trying to help out.sorry if i butted in.
I do have the latest radio, it flashed just fine. However when pushing 3.04.651.2 firmware update, mine did not change, and it was suggested to me that the latest radio would not work correctly unless in junction with the latest firmware. My firmware still reads 3.62.401.1. But I received no errors during the fastboot push. Did I miss a step is what I'm asking. And if I did not. How can I push the firmware again to make for a successful build change. I hope that makes sense

If I remember correctly there was no 3.04.651.1 firmware

You can flash the new radio without flashing the firmware and it'll work fine. The firmware can only be flashed with fastboot and if the signature of the firmware is broken it can only be flashed if s-off.
Flashing the full firmware won't change anything in your reception, but anyway if you are s-on you should flash the FULL firmware, if s-off you can flash the modified one. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46123838

I'm s off. And I fastboot pushed the s off firmware listed there. However it installed with no errors. But it didn't change in my system. Perhaps a bad download. I'll try again and report back

The rom is ported to the sprint variant
Ugh -_- facepalm. Okay, question. Can I flash over the stock rooted Rom that features all the latest Sprint radios and firmware and will that correct everything. Or should I re-ruu and start over

Roms don't contain firmware
Good to know. So should I try to fastboot push the latest Sprint firmware onto this Rom again, or will doing so cause an issue, or do I need to go to a Sprint variant only Rom first?

Anyone know anything about the random network drops?

I'm s-off/rooted on stock 3.05.651.6. It started happening after I updated to the first KitKat ota, downgraded to shipped stock, then took the ota back up to 3.05.651.6.
Since then, I get total network drops. It will even disconnect my Wi-Fi when it happens. I'm including a screenshot of one of the error messages I get when it happens.
Can someone please tell me why this happens, or how to fix it?

Probably Radio/RIL related. Check if your radio (firmware) matches the one in your ROM.
My Baseband is 1.00.20.1108. Sound right?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
BTW, you have GSM or CDMA M7 - which model ID?
I have a baseband of 4T.27.XXXX with Sesne 6 5.11 and absolutely no issues.
CDMA One. Model PN072. Baseband 1.00.20.1108 on Android 4.3, Sense 5.0, and Firmware 3.05.651.6.
Maybe the radio is too new and I should downgrade it to the last prior?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
Might be jinxing myself by saying this, but I think the new radio fixed the issue. I still get the error when I get a call though, but that seems normal if on 3g. Here's hoping.
