Radios, you say?

Hey all,
So after doing a bit of research I see that a way to potentially improve battery life (CM7, as Android System, currently using ~60% battery) would be to try new radios. Now from my understanding using certain radios are dependent on what provider you have? is this true? This thread shows a list of radios, but as a radio newbie all these numbers don't mean anything to me.
My questions is, is flashing a new radio a good idea? I currently have 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M and have a Virgin Mobile Canada Incredible S that I have unlocked an am using on TrueMove mobile over in Bangkok, Thailand. If I should be flashing a new radio does anyone have suggestions as to which one I should be using?

I have the same question.

same issue - I am very scared to flash a new radio but I think I need to (delayed texts, people saying my phone won't ring when it has full battery and service). I am in Singapore. The main thing holding me back is using an ADB which I don't understand how to do.

you don't need to. you can put it on the root of your sd card named PG32IMG.zip and reboot into the bootloader and it will find it and say click volume up to start flashing.
I recommended the very latest radio, 09.03.27

I recommend that one too. The first post in the radio thread hasn't been updated to include that one yet, but it's in this post on page 11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18208077&postcount=101
I'm not sure that radios have any effect on battery life though.

Speaking from my experience with a clone Touch Diamond, I can certainly say that the radio has a bearing on battery life. A poor radio (as supplied in my clone) caused the phone to be forever 'searching' for a signal which caused excessive battery drain. Updating to a better radio which gave superior reception drastically increased battery life (as well as meaning I could use the phone more often).

There is loads of stuff in other threads about having to be radio S-OFF, or permanant S-OFF with a gold card rather than temp/removable S-OFF as with revolutionary, in order to flash a new radio, but its all pretty conflicting. Some say that revolutionary is more than adequate while others you have to have a handset of a certain age in order to do it i.e it wont work on the newer ones! This is why I havnt bothered flashing a new radio yet, but if you say you have done it then I may try and give it a go...wait till the new Nik - Trinity ROM is uploaded first!

I used revolutionary, so should I not be flashing a new radio?
It makes me feel safer that scooby used revolutionary, but also since I'm in Singapore I'm not sure if i'll be affected differently. I really think I need to flash a new radio and if it's just as easy as moving the file to the SD card and rebooting into the bootloader then it doesn't seem to dangerous

It works fine..
Just make SURE you don't do it if you don't have much battery left, leave the back cover on so the battery can't fall out, and let it flash completely until it says finished.
Do not remove the battery under any circumstance.

Thanks so much for this link! I will attempt the flash. What is this RIL thing people speak of and what do I do with such things? I know that certain RIL files should match the radio but where does it go? do I just flashing it before/after the radio?
Thanks in advance!

Don't bother with the ril, in this case it isn't actually necessary.

Would you see a bigger difference on battery from flashing a new radio or a new kernel such as tiamat?

Tried to flash the radio, but installation aborted on me! Got alpharev S-OFF and using 4EXTRecovery. Tried it again and same thing....was I right in that only only older handsets will work with temp alpharev S-OFF rather than perm gold card S-OFF? Hopefully Nik - Trinity's new ROM will have this radio anyways.

I just installed this radio on my handset. Not sure what classes as an old or new handset but mine was delivered 5 days ago. It is Revolutionary S-Off with CWM Recovery.
Can't say I've noticed any change to reception though.

Every ROM I flash gets stuck on the flash screen. Thoughts?

I just bought a used Hero as a temporary phone and I'm trying to get off the stock rom. I rooted the phone and flashed a MIUI rom. It got stuck on the splash screen during boot. Not feeling like dealing with it, I just ended up RUUing it. Then I rerooted it and tried another rom...same deal. Now I back to stock again. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks

You didn't firate anything, did you?

Try manualy flashing the boot.img in the rom from fastboot. Sometimes thats the problem.

Good idea. I'd need abd for that though to run the commands right? I'm really trying hard to avoid installing it on my computer.

Why ?? If your going to be modding your phone s-off,eng-bootloader & adb are all tools you will definitely need. If not then you may have a few headaches down the line if something goes wrong.

I won't be doing anything beyond flashing a custom rom.

I just dug up my Hero. It had CM6 previously. I tried flashing an updated ROM and it does not get past the HTC logo. I tried 4 different ROMs. Using CMW recovery. Wipe/Format all...and nothing.

Yeah I'm completely out of ideas. I may just have to suck it up and install adb.

Which version of CWM are you running? I've used 2.5.0.1 for all of my ROMs and never had a problem. I should have the zip to flash through recovery and the HERCIMG flashable through HBOOT if you wanna try.

Adb is a breeze to install. Takes less than 20 min. Pm me if and when you wanna set it up, and believe me when I say you will not regret it. Adb makes modding your phone a little easier.

What radio do you have? I remember people having issues when using the older radio (.27) instead of the newer (.29). Then again, it might not make a difference at all either. Just a thought.

i second drunkpilots radio idea, thats what gave me a headache for an hour the other night wondering why my cm7 wouldnt boot, updated to newest sprint radio and bam booted right up

Alright I just upgraded my radio. What's the best/easiest way to root it from here since I'm back to stock now?

I've done something stupid

Hello people, I hope I'm not being a 'bloody annoying bastard '- I really have searched the internet forums thoroughly for a solution to my predicament.
I recently bought a Bell network branded HTC Raider with stock GB (2.3.4) rom. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. In my haste to get rid of the bloatware, I stupidly used Root Explorer to delete files instead using Titanium Backup - ergo, no chance to restore deleted stuff. Anyway, now when I press 'Personalize' on the launcher bar, and then try to choose any of the sound options,(ringtones, notifications or alarms), I get a message saying 'The linked program is no longer installed on your phone'. And if I try to change the notification sound from within, say, the messages app, the app 'has to close'. The only 'program' that I can think of that is even remotely connected with sound is Soundhound, which I deleted, but I don't believe that would be the cause. I can still set a ringtone using the ringtone widget, but I can't change the notification or alarm sounds, even though I can still see and play them in System/Media/Audio. Has anyone any idea what I have inadvertently deleted? Something from HTC Sense, I'm guessing. Is it possible to download the Sense 3.0 files and pick them apart to perhaps find what I'm missing?
Sorry if this is a dumb question - my first post and all. Cheers.

I was able to find a link to the stock ICS update RUU for Bell Raiders

If you want to stick with the BellMobility stock Gingerbread, I think I have it archived at home. I can upload it this evening if you want it.
Thanks to the ICS BellMobility RUU post by kennethpenn

Thank you, I'll try for the Gingerbread first, just to try to find out what I deleted. Upgrade to ICS I believe I can get from HTC OTA if I return the phone to stock first. I'm still new at this flashing business, so I'm grateful for any help.

OK . . . downloaded file, but unfortunately it is an installer package, and it won't install on my rooted Raider. Does anyone out there have it in a zip package? I'd like to sort thru the apk files.

Or at the very least, a LIST of installed apk's for the Bell Raider.

You have to relock your bootloader before running the ruu...its easy just download the toolkit and use the relock bootloader option...then run the ruu
As far as it in a zip file...I don't honk there is one for the bell...there's a rooted deodexed art one you can flash in recovery...don't know how that will play with your bell version tho

When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU. But what you do with it is at your own risk!
mg2 is right - just relock the bootloader and the RUU will bring your phone back to glorious stock. It's so much easier than messing around. Then you can decide what your next step is.

Yes, I realise now that reflashing the stock rom was the easiest way. Now I have the OTA ICS and Sense 3.6 rom in place, have re unlocked, re rooted and this time I am being more careful with bloatware removal! Have also done a full nandroid backup. Thanks again for the advice, people. Looking forward to asking more noob questions in the future. :silly:

You do not need to be S-OFF to install custom roms: just need to flash boot.img using fastboot and flash rom thru recovery
With S_OFF you flash kernel (boot.img) thru recovery instead of using fastboot

OK . . . got it. Thanks for that.

If you're a ROM-a-Holic like me (and maybe a few others around here) and want to try many different roms and kernels to find out what you like the most, you'll want to do the S-OFF procedure. It's not that bad, and it's definitely convenient to be able to download a stack of roms and kernels, put them on your SD card, and then sit out on the lawn enjoying some sun and flashing your phone silly directly from recovery without needing fastboot! I highly recommend it.

I agree! If you follow the instructions from the SuperGuide (stickied in the development forum I believe) exactly, you shouldn't have any problems with the S-OFF procedure.

[Radio]3831.18.00.28_M(latest?)

Extracted from Optus ICS OTA update that started rolling out a couple of days ago. I'll also be crossposting in the radio thread in dev section, but as the OP hasn't been updated in.... a while, thought I might as well make a thread for it here too. Download, upload, share, do whatever you want with it, but if you try it consider giving a bit of feedback to help other users decide if they want it.
Installing is the usual drill, either copy the zip to sdcard root and reboot to bootloader. Or the fastboot method.
You need s-off to flash a radio.
If you're updating from a gingerbread radio, you might also need to format cache in recovery.

I flashed new radio and all is good,i work in a all steel walled building and where i was getting 2 bars am now getting 3,but this is just an initial impression i will have to try it longer to tell. Previous radio was an 11_m.

Hello, I want to ask you about radio: Nonverbose has a Radio: 20.4805.30.0822U_3822.11.08.29_M.
I dont understand when I enter boot loader I get :3805.06.03.03 what is the difference between the two?
Secondly, i make s-off by your procedure and flashed Cool droid revolution by Surajkumar; but it isnt a GB its ICS?
Can I flash your [Radio]3831.18.00.28_M?
Whatis the difference between this one and the one I already have?

Main differences could be better call quality, increased reception, network performance, battery life, wifi performance? (not sure about this)
It's up to you to try it and find out, you can always change to another version if it doesn't suit you.
Never flash a Froyo radio as it will brick your phone but you could easily revert to gb although it should require formatting the system in recovery.
Considering you are on an ics Rom, I would recommend an ics radio.
I have installed this version to test it out and reception does seem to have increased. Data speed through the network seems a little faster but much more stable, less spikes in download speed.
I transfer a lot of files to PC via wifi hotspot and samba server on the phone and the speed seems to have dropped significantly, although this is probably a Rom/RIL issue. I'll be testing some ics roms this weekend to see the difference.

Is this radio 3831.18.00.28_M an ICS radio? Can i flash it in recovery using knowing that I have a cooldroid rom?

Your stAtement depends on what radio you are on at the minute ?
But yes it is an ics Rom and as long as you label is correctly before flashing it you will be fine. Or you can use adb method.

You do not flash the radio in recovery. Just copy the zip file to sdcard root and reboot to bootloader. In hboot mode, the phone will scan for the file and ask if you wish to install. Accept and wait for confirmation.
As you are on a gingerbread radio currently, yes you will have to format cache in recovery. When you get the confirmation the radio is installed, press power to reboot, remove your sdcard then press power, hold it and volume down to re-enter bootloader, then select recovery and insert sdcard. Then format the cache and reboot phone normally.
It would probably be easier to flash in fastboot, but if you're not comfortable with fastboot commands, the above procedure will do the same thing.

I updated and installed the new radio, I have question why do we format cache in recovery?and why do we remove then insert the sd card?

Cache needs formatting because it's been resized I believe (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) . Sdcard is removed because when you enter bootloader the hboot mode would detect the pg32img file again and ask you to flash the radio which leads to you not being able to enter recovery whether you choose yes or no.

so to recap my HTC one is fubar & all I got is Hboot 1.57 & twrp-2.8.0.2-m7wls
I went into twrp & did a wipe on sys in the hope that would fix
so I did the wipe & went back to Hboot & flash boot the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip & now when I boot into the OS
all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more

is there anyone who is going to help me?????

Well looks like it a brick now
nothing I do is fixing this
not 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip
not 5.03.651.3_firmware_RUU.zip
and I tried rolling back to the old one modified_firmware_4.06.651.9.zip
no matter what I do all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more :crying:
looks like I will have to go to sprint tomorrow :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.03.651.3_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader (S-ON ONLY)
-from pc, run ARUWizard.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock

OK I'm downloading that now
OK I'm downloading that now, its big so will take 19 min to D/L
but why do I need that one?
why can't I use the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip?
just so I know for next time...

You need to RUU because you wiped your OS in twrp.
The modified firmware does not include hboot/recovery/boot.img(kernel)
The reason you don't have an OS is you wiped it in twrp.
Build number/Software won't change unless you flash a 5.03.651.3 rom.
The best way to check if it worked is to check the baseband to see if it changed.

ok its working again
ok its working again
I did not know that was the file I needed, I thought that's a stock rom so why would I want that
so I went for the other files.
This RUU app is new to me.
Thank you for helping me I just feel the way this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 post was typed up did not help me at all (I was lost)

no the OS was Fed up before I did that sys wipe .
I only did the sys wipe because I thought that would help fix it what the modified firmware Fed up by removing the bad OS & retry installing the modified firmware.
before that I did the modified firmware & it soo did not work!!!!!
so I don't know what happened but I do know that post with the update was really vague for someone who does not do this kind of thing often.
I do have a?
& that is next time I do this
will it keep the app-data? or is there away to back that up
my phone is fine but I lost all app-data witch is kind of a pain in the but having to go over all the settings for all of my apps

Use titanium backup next time. It will save game progress, app settings etc.
