Though they first appeared in Korean Roms, the 5.XX radio's are not Korea specific. In fact, the 5.08 radio was included in the Gingerbread OTA from Google. Gingerbread had a requirement for 5.XX radios but CM removed this for CM7 which allowed older radios to work.
Different people have different results. Try both radios and determine which works best for you. I personally use the 5.12 radio.

thanks. ill try out other radios and see how it goes. my hspa goes on and off while in use and i have to restart the browser or app which gets annoying.

i had the same problem...i had to restart the phone in order for it to work...then i uninstalled the update on the new android market and my hspa somehow is working fine now.

Root Canadian 3G Nexus One

I am curious I have the Rogers Wireless version of the Nexus One in the mail.
I can't get a definitive answer on if cyanogenmod will work on it without a problem?
I sure hope this isn't like the Rogers version of the G1.
Thanks,
Not at all like the Rogers Dream. The AT&T/Rogers version (I have read), is identical to the Tmo, except offers Rogers/AT&T 3G Band, 850mhz.
Procedure is the same as written elsewhere. You can skip the step for upgrading radio, I believe the newer N1's shipped with the newest radio. I don't have the instructions, followed the CM wiki. Just remember to skip the radio update part of the instructions. I believe the radio update allows root on stock ROM. When you upgrade to CM ROM for example, it is already rooted, which is why you can bypass this step.

Yes, you can install CM and it will work without any problems... essentially, the devices are the same, except for the radio... which is why there is a new RIL library and firmware module...
CM 5.0.5+, Enom 1.7.1, MCR 1.9+, ModacoDesire A16+ are all compatible with the new N1 and have the latest RIL & Firmware module...
And yeah, the new N1 has the latest radio image, so you don't have to update/faslh the radio...

No!!! DON'T DO IT!!! You're phone will be bricked!
J/K... this question has been asked a dozen times and a search would have yielded an answer in 10 seconds for you.

I wonder how radically different the Canadian N1 is to the US N1!
The only risk/problem you will expose yourself with tinkering is if you mess up with flashing the radio firmware. I used the latest cyanogen, recovery, and bootloader all while retaining the original radio firmware. (why fix it if it aint broken?)

[Q] Is region cross flashing safe?

Hi!
[Q1] I wanted to know weather it is safe to flash an Asia ROM to a Europe device or vice versa. My WP7 is not carrier locked and has the ROM flashed detailed in my sig and running smooth. I was searching the fora for this answer but I could not find a Yes or No answer for it. So if I want to flash an Asia ROM for my phone will it work? (Why: higher version numbers might have more stability and radio version might improve GPS signals, etc.)
[Q2] What is the difference between ROMs for different carriers (O2, Telstra, TMO, BellMobility, etc)? If I flash one of these will my phone still connect to my service in Hungary? All of them has different version numbers and radios.
[Q3] Can I mix radios and ROMs as well?
[REQ] There really would be nice to have a wiki or guide with these questions detailed or a HowTo for beginners. Most of us is really a beginner with WP7 I think not mentioning flashing a WP7 device. I have experience with WM6.x.x flashing but only flashed my HD7 once.
Regards,
Cina.

[Q] Cyanogen v.s. AOSP rom? What am i doing wrong??

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

Sweeet as..You have been most helpful. Its working perfectly now. thanks
If you're with XT use the Brazil bb.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.
What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.
I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.
The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.
but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?
Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.
Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.

Couple debranding questions

I've currently got a working gold card for my ATT HD7S. I'm able to flash any ROM (including the 5.x Europe ROM).
First question: other than the ATT ROM, which STOCK ROM would be most appropriate for a T9295?
Second: This will sound paranoid, but I'm concerned about the different modem/radio. In terms of interference, I don't want to do anything dangerous or illegal. Could flashing a European T9292 ROM to my T9295 create any issues in this regard? Maybe enable bad WiFi frequencies, broadcasts, etc.?

Why are you wanting to flash a different stock rom? What would be the advantages?
I've flashed the DFT rom to my HD7S and not had any issues.

I'm actually considering flashing the T-Mobile ROM. Reports over at Microsoft Answers suggest that the T-Mobile update has fixed the Zune Music freeze problem. It's driving me nuts, and I'm never expecting a fix for the HD7S...
Based on the speaker/call quality issue, it's pretty obvious that they don't care about major functions being broken on this phone.

Also, DFT is based on the generic Europe ROM, right?
Still wondering about this. Are region specific settings like Wifi channels dependent on the ROM or the device? Will an American device with a European ROM use Wifi on channels 12-14 (against FCC rules)? Surely not? I'm only asking because I read somewhere that using channel 12 might have been causing WiFi ICS issues.

radio flashing question..

i know all nexuses are pretty much the same and we can run the tmobile and sprint and international roms etc on my vzw nexus. however what about radios? I just updated my vzw nexus 6 to full 5.1.1 Z including bootloader, but I didn't do the matching radio because I'm on 98R and idk how thatll play out. anyone on vzw flash the newest radios? can we do such things? I know android M, were all flashing that radio and were all on diff carriers.

Yes, you can flash away.
if I can flash the international Z 5.1.1 bootloader, radio and rom on my Verizon phone why does google go out of the way making different packages for different carriers?

to add things that they can use on their network. like tmobile and WiFi calling. sure, google can add it into Verizon's as well, but Verizon users can't use it.
well then why the different radios :/. if we could all use international radio.. like international, Verizon and sprint radios.

Radios are tuned sometimes to work better on different networks. You should see how many Samsung have.
More radios, more choice.
