You mean there is no difference between the different radios???? What radio are u using? And do you get small echo complaints from people sometimes(not every time)
What you are saying is that I can flash all the radios and it wont make a difference in the problem above????
I have already flashed a different radio and theres not a difference.

I mean you can flash the recommended radio like everyone else.
I'm using 3805.06.03.16, which works perfect.

doesn't have any of the 05.xx radios only goes up to 04.08 but that is a very nice app and i also recommend everyone use it

Gah, thought he had updated it, my bad.

back when he released it i was talking to him about updating it cause reboot into bootloader doesnt work and he said hes gonna make an update but never did..

Stupid question... The radio isn't tied to the version release, is it? For example I run a Froyo ROM. A GB radio isn't going to cause me issues, is it?

It shouldn't matter, no.

05.02 has better data speeds. anyone dare to challenge me and ill post speedtest screenshots. I get .18mbs down on 05.06 and I get .75mbs down with 05.02

That's not the same for everyone. It's heavily dependent on where you are.

EDIT: I can't get recovery to flash.. how'd you do it?
EDIT2: Nevermind, got it. If you're having this problem TURN OFF FAST BOOT in System>Power, itll then boot into recovery.

Each carrier will have different versions to account for different bloat and some system options (tethering,...) But at large they should be the same

There are half a dozen or so of the typical Rogers apps (MyAccount, Ringback, etc.) but they are all uninstallable. That was the first thing I did was to uninstall those apps.

Ya, I was pleasantly surprised that all Rogers apps were uninstallable. Looks like Rogers is listening to their customers and letting us choose which of their apps we want.

I am wondering if anyone has or can make a nandroid backup of the stock Rogers ROM and post it? I missed making a backup
Thank you

Best thing when it comes to radios, try the new radio. Compare and contrast how your signal holds up using the newer radio. Ask yourself some questions.
- Is the new radio holding a stronger signal or faster speeds?
- Is the battery life with the new radio draining additional battery than my previous radio?
etc..... then after a couple days, conclude which radio is the best for you. If the newer radio isn't as good, revert back to the old radio.
Radios are independent of Android versions so u can use whatever radio u want. Just use the one that is best for you because one size doesn't fit all. No best radio.

Its just a radio. It is not tied to an Android version and it is likely very similar to the ,3 radio as it was produced the same day

Google's Android flash tool

I'm going to try it tomorrow but was wondering if someone has already pulled the trigger?

I'm curious if those of us with a bootloader locked phone can flash a different carriers firmware and be able to unlock our bootloader??

I just peeked at the tool and you have to have OEM Unlocking enabled to use this so it may not help you.

Garbage. Stock is better.

I tried it as well but couldn't get it to make phone calls. I'm on Verizon and tried a few things. Yeah it's pretty plain.
It's aosp I'm really surprised Google would supply this to the masses. Reminds me of the good old days.

I wouldn't even bother trying to flash ASOP builds because I know better. This really isn't for end users. Strictly for development. I'm perplexed why people are even bothering to use it.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.

My wife is using one that has a locked bootloader. I tried everything without success. Then I gave up and bought the unlocked version and gave her the Verizon one LOL.
There is a thread in this section that talks about unlocking Verizon ones.

If I try this how can I flash back to a normal rom? I heard you need to use https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com but it's forbidden in my country.

It didn't work for me in the US either I just flashed the full image from Google to get back to stock.

Yeah I read somewhere that's it's a tricky business to get back to stock but I just flashed and it's back to normal. Aosp was interesting though.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run
If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB

Ok now we have a new tool. It's like the other tool mentioned in this thread. It doesn't mention needing "OEM unlocked" enabled. Question is. Can I flash Google fi firmware on my at&t phone and be able to enable "OEM Unlock" afterwards?
