I have a Rogers Raiders, s- off and upgraded to ics. To get it to ics I originally ran an at&t ruu. If I want to have the Rogers radio I would have to run the Rogers ics ruu and that would be it? (after locking bootloader and all that stuff) Wondering if any of the other Rogers people that took the plunge with s- off to get onto ics have tried the new Rogers ics ruu and if they find it makes a difference for reception.

After I unlocked mine I had no problems. I go back and forth on 3g sim cards from Bell to Rogers about two times a day (I'm tweaking things). You shouldn't have to unlock your phone to work on Rogers, but it wouldn't hurt.

Give me a pm if you have any problems. (Also rogers now has the ICS update so if you are worried you can always go back to a rogers stock ICS)
My phone is a Rogers HTC Raider, when I got it s-off I changed CID and ran att ruu so I could upgrade to ICS. Now that Rogers has their ICS update I'm just curious if running the rogers ics ruu to get their radio would make a difference. I don't get horrible reception but it doe's change alot staying in one spot so curious if the rogers radio would give me better reception.
yah I'm in Nova Scotia so I get horrible reception anytime I'm next to a mountain or in a valley between two hills.
Ran the Rogers ICS ruu and it doesn't seem to be a drastic difference. Signal does seem a bit more stable, stays on LTE a bit better than it did before, not dropping down to edge as much either. Still seems like it was worthwhile to do.

I have had a t-mobile G1 since they first came out, only problem is that i`ve been using it on the Rogers network in Canada. The problem with this is that I can not get 3g on my phone, only Edge...which at times is rather painful. I know you can root the Rogers G1 but from what i`m reading there are limitations to the Roms you can put on it. I`m using cyanogenMod (latest) and i use switchrom to try out any new roms that are put out there. Also use A2SD.
What are the limitations, can i still do all that on the rogers G1. If not, is it worth it to sacrifice the 3g to keep these features
There are two ways to root the rogers dream. The first way keeps the original radio but you can only flash roms with a 32A kernel. There are ports for cyanogen and others, check out the sapphire development section. The second way will flash the G1 radio and you can flash any rom you could on the G1. There are some connection problems reported with the second method (mainly a bit slower edge speeds). I originally rooted my phone using this method and it is definitely still usable especially in 3g areas.
I recently bought a Roger's branded Dream off Ebay and rooted via the Haykuro method (which changes the radio). I am a Roger's customer who is coming from a BB Bold 9000 and I can tell you that 3g makes a small difference in cities.
First note is that a stock Roger's Dream has, frustrating at best, 3g connectivity when you are under three bars of service. IMO, EDGE in cities (I am in Toronto) provides what you need. ROMS correct the 3g discrepancy, however 3g is a power hungry beast on the Dream and EDGE has been doing me well.
Second note is that a newer Roger's Dream is a pain in the ass to root compared to our southern neighbours. I lucked out on my Ebay purchase and had a .0009 SPL. Cyanogen offers a method on their Wiki which allows you to keep the Roger's radio but it limits what you can flash as previously stated. The Haykuro method which changes the radio allows you to flash almost any ROM but I have yet to run anything stable.
Just a little food for thought, hope this helped
My AT&T One is a month old and I bought it for the AT&T network. Well, I've since dumped AT&T and moved the family to T-Mobile, My One is rooted, custom recovery, S-OFF, and 4.2.2 Stock ROM. Best of ll, there is a 1.26.502.12 RUU available to get me back to stock. And revone can be used to "lock" it again. Since I am now on T-Mobile now, I'd like to take advantage of T-Mobile wifi calling and their AWS band.
As of today, the AT&T version cannot use the AWS band. I do get 4G and LTE in populated areas, but I still get a lot of EDGE as well. Just wondering of I should sell it and buy the T-Mobile version. I think the T-Mobile can be rooted,, S-OFF, etc just like I did for my AT&T version... but last time I checked, there was not an RUU for the US T-Mobile version.
So... I have at least two options:
1. Keep the AT&T version and wait for the AWS band exploit to surface. And flash a T-Mobile ROM for wifi calling. Can I run a T-Mobile ROM (that supports wifi calling) and still keep S-OFF and root?
2. Sell the AT&T version on EBAY and buy a T-Mobile version, then root, S-OFF, etc. I can get a pretty decent price now, and the longer I wait, I guess the less I can get.
Any other options that I am not aware of to get AWS band? Or it it matter of just waiting for AWS? Or anything else I should consider?
Thanks...

Given the same situation, I would dump the AT&T version and get the T-Mo version. An RUU will come out eventually (probably the same amount of time that a AWS exploit comes out for the AT&T version) so that isn't a huge issue IMO. You can still get a decent amount for the One, considering all the hard work to it is done already.

Get the TMO version. It is made for the network, so why settle for less?
Thanks for the sanity check. I am currently selling the phone on EBay.

Yes tmo one ... There is no ruu but tmo is dev friendly, at least they were a year ago.

Hey guys,
Just wondering for those of you who are also using Google Edition on 4.3 (whether purchased a GE or "converted" to GE or just applied the latest radio from GE [4A.18.3263.15_10.38h.1157.04L]) and are on AT&T if you've noticed a decrease in network service on this new radio.
I was using the latest AT&T radio (the one that enabled the additional bands) for a couple days after it came out before 4.3 - Friday night after 4.3 came out I used the conversion process to GE so I could flash the 4.3 OTA, and along with it the new firmware and radio and since then I've noticed my service to be lacking. At first I thought it was just the visual indicators (even my WiFi never had full bars and that was in a 600 sq ft studio apartment!) but today now that I'm back to work in an LTE area (I live in Los Angeles), I'm only getting HSPA (indicator says H, not LTE now).
I know I can easily flash that other radio again, and I probably will. But, just curious on other's experience with the GE radio.
I would stick with the att specific radio that enables lte band 2 and 5 as it has made a huge difference for me there were areas I only got 1 or 2 bars in city
Not anymore 3-4 bars always till I go outside of city

I am not running the GE rom, but on Sense rom and I ran both. I found the initial one that unlocked the bands (4A.17.3250.20) was a great improvement for my network speed on LTE. I only ran a few tests on the newer GE radio but I do think it is a little slower, and just barely. However I have stuck with the latest radio becasue I think the battery is better when using LTE even if the speed isn't quite as good. Not a very large difference mind you, I'm talking like an average of 1-2 Mbps slower on the download side only. So could be nothing, since I didn't do lots of tests on both.

Yeah, I think I will go back and see how it goes. I was wondering if GE radio also enabled those LTE bands for AT&T but I'm assuming they did not? Is there any way to test for sure I wonder aside from just "visual cues"?
I applied the 4.3 GE RUU on my 64GB DE HTC One and am getting ~20Mbps compared to 30+Mbps with the 4.1.2 stock rom.
Has anyone tried applying the ATT radio on a 4.3 GE rom?
Thanks!

bump~ anyone?
I did the full convention when the 4.3 ota dropped. Wasn't a big fan of GE so I converted back to sense, but left the firmware and radio in place simply because I was lazy. I flashes the newest at&t radio a few days ago. I now LTE at my house consistently where as I didn't get LTE before. I haven't done any speed tests since its not a big deal to me since I use wifi about 90% of the time.
AT&T HTC One
Baadnewz's InsertCoin 3.0-14
Flar2's Bulletproof 4.3
I applied the radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388809&highlight=fastboot and now I'm getting much better speed with AT&T. :good:
Curiousbif anybody on tmobile USA updated their firmware to anything other than what tmobile has. I'm running HD13.3 right now and I seem to have few odd ts issues, but other than that good.
If you have flashed it, have you noticed any difference? Since tmobile fw is based on 4.1.2. I'm more concerned with it effecting the radio, since tmobile uses odd bands, don't really want to create any issues with it.

The thing about radio and rom combos is that they sometimes contain updated modules that take advantage of the radio version you have.
Some users note that certain radio firmware work better with a certain rom while another rom hinders it. Less Battery life or signal.
You can stick to one rom and flash any radio you want and not notice a difference because of where you live while others will.
Radio updates don't control what bands you phone uses they simply make adjustments on how your phone uses them. So your T-Mo HTC One and my AT&T HTC One if they where to have the same ROM/Radio the difference in battery life and overall network performance depends on just that; the network.
If your having issues related to the T-Mobile network it could be any number of things. A bad rom flash, Radio firmware not at your favor, the phone itself, or just the local towers etc.
There are several radios available to install via recovery.. Try a couple and test each out for a day or so and compare the results. If not try to stick with the radio that was released with the ruu the rom was made from.

Thank you . I will try and find a thread with all of the radios. I am kind of wanting to flash an updated Firmware, but I do not think it is possible unless I go S-OFF and go back to 4.1.2 RUU?

Im kind of in the same boat. I have a T-MO branded HTC One. I wanted to get sOFF and go with the HTC Google Play edition firmware and ROM and flash the T-Mobile radios. BUT the update to my TMO unit at the end of July borked the moonshine and revone (revone?? is that right cant thing of it off the top of my head?) exploit to allow S-off.. So my unit is rooted but NOT with Soff to allow me to do the google play edition firmware..
I can tell you that for me the update in July did help with a little bit better battery life and did improve LTE performance.
I am in Dallas and often can get 35MB down and 25 up..
hoping the rumors are true that we get 4.3 around the end of September..
Hi Bought a att htc one in USA when i was out there, back in the UK now and on o2 flashed it to gpe to get rid of all the att bloat ware however I can't seem to get any 4g connection, just always get "H" is there anything I can do to get 4g? any help would be great. as speeds are so slow!
Thanks

GPE may not have the right radios needed in UK. You may want to flash local radio separately.
