I'm trying to find radio roms for my Vivid. (Telstra Australia varient)
I can't get 4g/lte, the phone radio just dies when I'm in 4g areas. I want to flash a new radio rom. Both Telstra (the phone) and the carrier I'm with Optus both use the same band/frequency and such I should probably just need to use any recent telstra radio rom.
I've searched but can't find any vivid radio roms. Where are they?

I'm not an expert, but I believe flashing radios is more of a hassle than regular ROMs. The radio is in a protected partition, which is not modifiable without S-OFF (or maybe some very specific and unknown code from the carrier). I also recall reading that the radio is on a different CPU (FCC regulations?), and that the phone first boots the radio through that CPU, and once that's ok, THEN the main CPU is activated to boot the rest of the phone. So if you screw up your radio, it could be very bad.
I found this thread kind of discussing flashing radios:

I updated the Diamond with the new radio version .05 to use the device purchased in India on AT&T's network in the US. While I am able to see that the device is operating on the 850 band, I am still unable to make or receive calls some times in some areas.
Can anyone tell me how this can be fixed? Is a ROM update required along with a radio update?
its not required but you are running a new rom, right?
Thanks Blazeitup. The version of the ROM I am using is 1.37.720.2 that shipped with the phone. The radio version was 1.00.25.03 that I updated to 1.00.25.05.
After I did the hard SPL and updated the radio, the ROM version that I show when the phone starts is 1.37.00.00 but the ROM version in the "Device Information" is 1.37.720.2.
The signal strength is great but can not make or receive calls.
Cant help you with your problem but I will be facing the same problem soon...i do have a question for you though... after you upgraded your radio, was your phone still locked to airtel? I have it unlocked for vodafone india and i need to upgrade the radio to enable 850mhz.
Why dont you give .08 radio a try. It is newer than .05.
Give it a shot.
it might help.
Luck
when i bought my T2 it came with radio: 4.48.25.20
i have flashed other ROMs and have lost this radio
i have since downloaded the radio and it is a topaz radio
and i know topaz radios should flash just fine, but i keep getting an error wrong device
i really want radio 4.48.25.20 on my T2, it works great here

You need security unlock to flash topaz radios, and IIRC some hex editing too .

really? because i am hard spl'd, and on the raphael thats all you needed to flash any radio
Supposedly you can flash any radio that was made for a Rhodium with HardSPL. For other model radios (like Topaz), you have to security unlock it which is slightly different.
So your choices it looks like for now is to try one of the newer radios (I think there is a higher number T-Mobile one for Rhodium on the thread); security unlock your phone and flash the Topaz radio; or hang tight and pray someone posts the ATT Stock Radio!

Yes, the Device will only accept a Topaz Radio if it is Security Unlocked. This is also true in the Raphael.
Thanks

Okay, so I think the official WWE ROMs include a Radio update within them, because all the sudden I have the latest HTC Radio. I was not planning on flashing my radio for warranty purposes, but now am stuck. Has anyone been able to extract the official TMOUS Radio (I believe it's 3.45.25.14) as a "just in case"?
There is a dedicated Radio thread for the Rhodium. Try THERE.
I want to do what the title says because i want to flash a different radio to my device... ever since i installed the dev RUU from brighstar, my hspa speeds have decreased and changing the apn is the problem.. i want to get back to the regular t-mobile radio or a radio that is better than that one.. which i heard the .24 is better
On many phones you are able to change what frequencies radio operates on by flashing appropriate radio fw. How do Motos operate? Possible?
