If you were reading the phone settings then ignore that....The radio of the phone can be found via cam+power...

Yeah but what is the best version?? the 17U or 17H? I've been modding my G1 since it was possible and never came across this close of an ota version

There is only one radio that is avail for G1....
There is no best version...The roms are based off of OTA's taht are released or dumps that are made...

Thanks I'll try the 17H and if I don't like it go back to 17U

DO NOT FLASH A RADIO MEANT FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE!!!!!! Doing so is one of the easier ways to brick your phone.

Have the G1 T-Mobile and would never flash the wrong radio. Been doing this to long.. Thanks for the advice though

Quick question been trying to upload a picture for my profile but keeps saying upload failed and it is less than the requirement. Nevermind got it now Thank you for all your help and for being able to gets some answers to other questions I have had in the past in this forum. You guys are great

CM 5.0.2 (I don't recall when the change happened over to 36B but I know for a fact that 5.0.2 was based on it as I just moved from that to 5.0.4.1) was based on 36B. So all roms following until a newer software update happens...

The jury's still out on whether it's better. I haven't heard definitive evidence that it's better with 3G or anything, and I assume there's a reason it hasn't been released OTA yet, so I'm sticking with ERE27.

Noob question but what's this radio being discussed?
I mean is it for music radio or for signal reception and how do I upgrade mine on my stock N1?

The radio is for network connectivity..or as you put it "signal reception". If you got the OTA update to 2.1-update1, then you have the latest "official" Radio. I wouldn't bother flashing the unreleased version as there's zero benefit and, as I said earlier, there's probably a reason why HTC/Google didn't release it OTA.
Also, since you're admittedly a noob... I would make sure you research a lot about flashing Radio's prior to even starting the process. A guy just bricked his phone trying to flash to the unreleased Radio because he was in your position..don't be stupid.

I respect uansari1 but on this point I've got to chime in.
I've been running the stock ROM, flashed the OTA ERE27 update and had worse performance from my radio and data connection. More times then not I found the N1 sitting in Edge and even GPRS mode.
So.... I unlocked the bootloader (voiding my warranty), loaded RA's recovery image, ran nandriod and did a backup, rooted the phone and loaded the new radio rom. Post #21 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632282&page=3
Since then I've noticed the phone staying in 3G way more than before and even better battery performance.
Still using the stock ROM.
As with any flashing READ READ READ and understand what's happening before you decide to jump into the deep end.....

duplicate post - my bad. Removed.

Radio questions

Okay, so since I'm no longer able to get OTA updates (using CM 5.0.7.1 and Amon-Ra recovery), it looks like I'm going to have to flash the radio myself (which, admittedly, is a pretty frightening prospect) when I move to either Froyo or CM 5.0.8.
Other than the fact I can't really find a download link (maybe I don't know where to look) for the 4.06 (Froyo?) radio, I'm also wanting to keep a copy of my current radio (4.04) around, just in case. The download link down in the Development section for 4.04 is version 32.26.00.24U_4.04.etc, and the one my phone uses is 32.26.00.24H_4.04.etc (difference being H instead of U).
Does that one letter difference matter? I'm on an AT&T Nexus One, so I don't know if the other is for the T-Mobile phones or what, or if they're compatible, etc, since I really don't know a whole lot about the different radios.
I'm not going to flash the radio today or anything, just looking to get the last of my questions answered. Thanks!

I'm an idiot, because I bookmarked that page earlier this morning, so I'd have the download link. Does the one letter difference (U to H) on the 4.04 radio not matter then?

If you're going to Froyo or CM 5.0.8 you'll need 32.36.00.28H_4.06.00.12_7.

The download link is for 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2. So, the U and the H do matter?

And is there any difference in the H and U version?
I had the H Version on for the last week and just installed the U version for testing.

AT&T Nexus One and custom roms

I've been hesitant to try my hand at flashing ROMs because I'm in Australia using an AT&T variant N1, my carrier uses 850Mhz as the 3G frequency (Telstra) which is same as AT&T.
I've read up on the general flashing instructions for cyanogen and feel comfortable to proceed (I have basic linux knowledge as well), but only sticking point is I'm a bit unclear as to whether there is any difference for me, being the 850 variant.
My best guess is that its the same process, same files/build etc., just don't flash the radio? Is that correct? Can someone whose done it on AT&T variant confirm? THat would be really really good
I'm going to follow the instructions here, on a side note, is amon or clockwork the better option?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide

There is absolutely no difference for you.
Radio frequencies aren't dependent on baseband (radio) build, they're a function of HW. You can flash everything, radios included.
Read the Wiki.

Yep, go right ahead and do whatever you want.
I've hacked mine to hell and back with no issues

ROMs, no, no difference. Basebands and radios are a bit of a different story, though...

They aren't in Nexus, and they are exactly the same thing generally. Baseband = radio = SW that runs on baseband CPU.

OK thanks all
do I NEED to flash the radio i.e. can I get away with not updating the radio component? Just super cautious as I don't want to be in the hunt for a replacement in case of bricking, with all the dual cores just round the corner as wlel

If your radio is 4.06 or above, you don't need to flash it. If not - you do.

I'm on an att n1 on rogers and I've flashed everything from roms to radios and never had a problem that a lil nandroid couldn't fix.

Korean radio is fine. 5.08 was present on all the current Nexus One replacement phones, and 5.12 is present on Vodafone ones.
Any specific reason why you're avoiding it?

some one told me not to since it's korean..?
I mean why the 'korean' in it's name otherwise?
Sent from my Nexus One

It's called the Korean one because it first came about in a KT OTA. It's fine to use on any N1.

You don't have to worry at all about flashing radios. All the frequencies work with all radios. Note that you need at least 5.08 radio on cyanogen to be able to use the 720p video camera.

2.3 out doh
Gah unfortunately now wiser to wait for stock 2.3 OTA then Cyanogen to stabilise.... though having said that at least now I've got the answer to my original question, thanks again all.
Might just get me over the hump until I can get a non bootloader locked, non motoblur polluted dual core droid.

True, i meant might as well see how OTA performs before taking the plunge, since my phone is currently stock standard

[Q] CM7 and Bell Inc S

OK, I've been reading alot of threads where Bell Inc S users are having problems with CM7. Notably, 3G not working.
Have a few Bell Inc S users managed to get CM7 to work properly?
I'm wanting to install CM7, but that would require me to upgrade to a GB radio. But I don't want to do this if 3G stops working...
Thanks!

My bell inc s is unlocked on rogers. Works great with cm7 just make a new apn after your flash which is pretty standard for custom roms

Oh, really?? You're not having any troubles with 3G or delayed texts or anything? And how did you go about upgrading your radio to a GB one? I'm having trouble doing that... (And yes, I've read through alot of "Here's How" threads...)

I have an Inc S on Bell and have been running CM7 nightlies for a few weeks and haven't had any issues with texting or 3G issues.
I used this method to upgrade my radio a few days ago.

Also I don't have HTC Sync installed as the thread suggests but it worked just fine for me regardless.

I'm on Fido. Hopefully I won't have issues with 3g, etc. I'm gonna try to upgrade my radio again. Hopefully this time it works...
Any suggestions as to which radio to use?

I am currently using 3805.06.03.03 radio for GB and it is working well for me.

I'm on Fido with a Bell Incredible S and I get 3G connection.
Flash the recommended radio from the CM7 Original Post, choose the correct APN and you should be good to go.
