A nOObie question...request you to please answer....

Heyy... Just got one question guyz... I am from India and all these official ROMs are for UK/Europe or HK....I just wanted to know whether flashing any of these ROMS (i would be flashing the english version) can bring any harm to my HD as I am confused as to whether each radio/ rom upgrade caters to different geographic parts or what? Plz answer my query. Thx in advance

well i have been flashing different ROMs and upgraded various radio versions no problems faced so far

A ROM Update is independent from your current geographical location, but it could harm your phone. It is just an software update like to update your Windows.
But the Radio-ROM is region-specific, so you have to try which works the best for you or simply just stick to your current one.

As long as you have either USPL or HSPL on your device you can flash any HD rom. Think of the latest roms as upgrades from stock roms. These are not country or region specific and will work on all HD's.
Only thing you have to look out for is the radio. Some roms come with radio's built in, for example Duttys latest roms come with radio 1.14 built in. Radio's are country/region specific and signal/reception will be different. Good news is that you can flash any radio you want after you have flashed the rom. All available radio's are in the wiki here. If you read up on radio thread you shoud be able to determine which is best for your country by the responses of people which use it.
Good luck!!

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 you have a hero or something?

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

How to flash baseband??

Some tattoo have baseband version 13.29.55.13G_3.35.07.20 and it doesn't support 3G, whereas tattoos with baseband version 13.29.55.13H_3.35.07.20 does.
Is there any option to flash this baseband of 3G to non-3G tattoos??
Thanks

Yes, use an update.zip. I'll add it as an option in my MCR kitchen.

@ shyam, did you find out anything more positive towards changing the baseband firmware of tattoo ??? even i am as curious a s u r.... please dont mistake me for those words which i said to u to calm down.... ok ???
i hope many european tattoo owners who have a baseband version of 3G could help us right ??? i dont know how to ask them to extract baseband firmware & upload it here.... do u have any idea about that ???

I hope there is some progress............

here u go thacen.... rename it as update.zip & reboot into recovery mode, then apply update.zip from sdcard.... simple.
here is the link posted by paul... the hard working guy. credit should go to him
i am just posting the download link.... for ur convenience.....

no its not possible... somehow that baseband has got nothing to do with the 3G hardware... only if u change the spl, then i think we stand a very good chance of getting 3G functionality in tattoo....
noone cared to post us the spl which could give us the 3G functionality.... waiting for someone who can do it.... baseband has got nothing to do with 3G. SPL is must for 3G function....

My advice is don't flash it on non-3G Tattoo. because I've had flashed on mine and it's bricked after that. my phone is now at HTC Care and hopefully they'll repair it.

It is no problem to try..many had tried.. i also tried without bricking, only thing is this could not success changing the base-band version at this time.
I think... in your case, you had removed the battery in the middle of flashing.. that is the problem. This base-band flashing actually require rebooting to continue flashing but you had removed the battery instead... plz be careful next time...plz read all the instructions properly and whole thread before actually jump into...
anyway till now this one is not working... so we need to wait for a working version.

[Q] [STOCK O2X ROM] Can someone help me out? :'(

Ok guys here's the issue. I purchased an O2x recently after months of saving up. After using it for two months on stock ROM, I changed over to the CM7.1 stable. But I'm not all that happy because I use my camera a lot n I miss the clarity n awesomeness of the stock camera. The CM7 camera is crappy :/
I lost the backup of the stock ROM i had made :'(
So i need a stock ROM n stock kernel/baseband. I'm a noob, totally. Can anyone please help me understand how to install the stock kernel or baseband or whatever it is? I downloaded the stock ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
and I downloaded the baseband from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
What is baseband? And how do I install the 635mb stock rom?
If anyone can help me out patiently, I shall worship thee forever.
I have basic idea about clockworkmod n installing zip packages etc

answer for your question-
Baseband is the Radio or Modem version depending upon the Phone Model, Carrier and Android Software Stack version.The radio firmware controls basic low-level functions like network connectivity, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Upgrading Radio firmware will fix connectivity issues, increase range or performance, decrease battery usage, etc. Incorrec tRadio frimeware can disable some functions in your phone such as MMS, 3G Data, VM Notifications, etc. Network operators/carriers select the correct version of the Radio firmware that is suitable for the phone, network and bandwidth.
Hope it helps for your understanding.

Hi, there is a thread of this kind already in this forum. But no matter this. The problem is that JB nor ICS have FM Radio installed from stock (or custom). You need to download a separate application. The one I would recommend is FM Radio.
