[Q] Are radios carrier-specific?

I'm on nTelos (regional carrier), and my current radio is 2.42.01.04.23.
Is it safe to flash the Sprint 2.42.02.10.29 radio, or will it screw up my signal, etc?

Hmm, nTelos is a cdma network, I believe, so in theory you should be able to. I've flashed a Verizon radio to my Hero, but went back to my stick one because it works better.
With that said, do so at your own risk. One sure way to brick a Hero is with flashing an incorrect radio.

Yep, it's a CDMA carrier. Sprint uses nTelos's towers here in WV. In fact, I've found sprint settings in the nTelos ROM, for instance in the build.prop file.
Are the radios included in the RUU? I have the stock nTelos RUU, so if it's in there, if all else fails, I can just reinstall the RUU, but I'd obviously rather not.

Fairly sure impaler has a radio thread on the dev board.

[Q] About Dev RUU on T-Mobile version?

Hi guys, I am just planning to install Developer RUU on my T-Mobile HTC One(I have already did S-OFF and SuperCID). I just want to make sure, after I install Dev RUU, do I keep T-Mobile radio or do I loose it? Because I don't want to loose my HSPA+ on T-Mobile network.
Thank you!

[Q] Firmware on carrier models??

So, with 4.2.2 rolling out , I have a question regarding firmware/radios.
I have a T-Mobile One with the bootloader unlocked from HTC Dev and a custom recovery. I still haven't gone S-Off, but I did flash the 4.2.2 leak from a couple weeks ago. My question is, since there seems to be a firmware update - should I install it on my T-Mobile HTC one, and if so, how would I go about doing that (I assume I'd have to S-off/SuperCID since the Tmobo version of 4.2.2 is still a long way off).
Thanks in advance for any answers - I'm mostly concerned since while the S-OFF process looks fairly painless, I'm always a lot more cautious with radios and such than I am with ROMS since the radios have the potential to brick your phone in nasty ways...

Should you update? Why yes. How? Flashing a stock version through recovery. You won't have wifi calling if you rely on it. I'm on 4.2.2, however I am s off. I've yet to understand how people brick their phones by flashing the wrong files. I go to a tread with the file name. The download file gas the name, and before flashing, you have to read the file name. I still font get it. But anyways, happy updating. Enjoy the phone

There's a good guide here for flashing firmware etc. It also has a link to the firmware package from the 2.24.401.1 base.

Hi,
I have follow up question to this.....Since there is no RUU for T-Mobile USA, how would we revert our firmware back to stock T-mobile firmware? Currently all we have for T-mobile are some stock nandroid backups, but I don't believe firmware packages are contained in those.

[Q] Possible to flash older radios from gingerboard to ICS/JB?

I'm on ICS 6.7.246. I was wondering if it's possible to flash the radio from earlier gingerboard version? I wanted to downgrade to GB but my understanding is that downgrading would brick my phone and therefore am thinking about flashing just the radio if possible. My perception is that gingerboard radio supports GSM 900/1800mhz as well and also gives better signal strength. I'm trying to make my phone work on 900/1800mhz band.
Is it possible to flash a gingerboard version including the radio in a rom slot using safestrap while keeping ICS in the stock slot? I guess not but just wanted to ask anyway.
Any kind of help or clarification is every much. Thanks in advance.

Info On Running The Latest RUU On A Rooted/S-Offed Sprint M8

Hi, need some help/Info on this. I have an M8 (Sprint) running ViperOne 5.0.2, it is rooted of course, S-Offed, & the bootloader is unlocked. I want to sell this and I wanted to return it back to stock if it was a quick & easy way. I was wondering if I could just run the latest HTC MM RUU & let it do all the work but I think I read somewhere that it's not that simple. Is that possible? I mean would that hurt anything or break something? If so what about pointing me to a STOCK Sprint ROM that I could just flash, I haven't been able to find one. Thanks In Advance.

You'll need to update your firmware first, then run the RUU afterwards. Check out OMJ's firmware thread for more info.
