Would the 2.42.02.10.29 Sprint CDMA Hero Radio update work on non-Sprint networks?

Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!

I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.

AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine

Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

[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...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

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!

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.

[Q] HD7S flashing help???

Hey I would like to flash the Deepshining v6.1 rom to my HD7S. I am wondering one thing, when I flash back to NoDo, will it affect the radio since it is not an AT&T radio? Oh and one more thing, if that doesn't bother it, then will the Deepshining rom mess it up since it is for the HD7 (Tmobile or other euro version) not the AT&T version? I just want to make sure the radio will work fine (getting 3g and all).
thanks!
P.S. if it will mess it up, is there another radio I can flash to make it work? I really want to be able to side load apps.

You should be fine, I flashed the DFT rom to my HD7s and everything is working fine

as already stated... will be fine.
each of the Custom ROMs are unbranded, so any can be used on any Schubert device with XSPL.
one can change the Radio of their device. link in my signature.

Thanks but.....
Hey thanks for all the replies but now that I have a custom rom on my HD7S everything works great except 3g. It shows the icon (an "H") but I cannot surf the web or anything. It just tells me to check my connection. There is no posted radio for att mango so I am using the EURO radio (latest with tethering). What is wrong?
Please help...

use HTC Connection Setup to fix your data.
H is 3G or 3G+, depends on the Custom ROM using and what the chef set it as.

How did you do it? Is everything still working?
Hi mtweisenbarger ,
I also have the ATT HD7S and would like to flash the DeepShinning rom as well. How is DeepShinning ROM working for you, currious to see if you are still using it.
Trying to follow all these instrunctions from different pages is quite confusing. I just wanted to find out if you had to use the GoldCard method. I think once I get that piece done the rest will be pretty simple, I just wanted to confirm that you had to use it.
Any followup and advise would be much appreciated!
Thx!

Just Flashed MIUI and No Service

I have a Telus Milestone that I unlocked and am using on Rogers.
It works fine on stock.
I flashed MIUI and I can't get service. I checked the APN settings and they are correct.
Any ideas on how I can get this up and running on MIUI? Stock Froyo kind of sucks lol.

just tried another ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849676) and same deal

you should try to switch baseband through OpenRecovery to set Telus one

I did a search for base bands but couldn't find any alternative ones. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

SOLVED!
Did some more searching and was able to find this: http://dext3r.komodin.org/
It has a 3G radio update near the bottom of the page

You can switch baseband in OpenRecovery. There's an option for it. When I used CM7 I just flashed the Canada baseband one and I was fine on Rogers as well.

[Q] Recommended Radios for Canada

I'm just wondering what the best radio would be for my canadian service provider? I'm currently on 3805.09.03.27_M any suggestions??

If you are not experiencing any issues, then why worry about it?

I second that. Why bother if it is working fine. It is not that if you upgrade all of a sudden your voice is going to sound very sexy . But to answer your question check with what the ROM recommends. Usually the ROM should recommend you a radio. Otherwise assume it should work with whatever radio is installed on the device.
