Stop freaking out. The radio ROM Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
has your radios in a nice easy exe installer.
But what one would gain going from radio 1.18 to 1.34?

Better battery and less dropped calls.
lol wow, Im still usin radio 1.03.03.10, never really get many dropped calls, but battery life could be better, I suppose.
Actually I'm on 1.03 radio too and never had a single dropped call.
The newer radios are better at avoiding dropped calls when switching between UMTS and GSM. If you're in a solid area that doesn't do this then any radio will work.

hi guys i have just upgraded my radio from 1.05 something to 1.43.00.00 . does radio version effect your hsdpa speeds? because since then i can't get hsdpa speed ut 3g. i'm on t-mobile uk
I'd say downgrade to something a bit lower, then. Common belief is that 1.43 is a Rogers-optimized radio. 1.40 is Cingular-optimized, so you may want to try 1.38.
Oh, and you also didn't say which WM6 ROM you are running. There are a few floating about that have 3G/H issues unrelated to the radio ROM...
i have tried all roms couldn't get hsdpa. i will try 1.38

Ah, OK then... 1.42... 1.43... whatever it takes...
The OP is in "TR" and I've no idea where that is, so who knows which radio he needs anyway... probably not 1.40, 1.42 or 1.43... heh

A few questions:
1. How can you tell what speed you are getting?
2. Can you recommend a tool to test? (I'm on WM5 and could test this for you)
3. I have upgraded to 1.41 from 1.05 also on T-Mobile can anyone say if HDSPA is working for them with this radio version?

Thx m8, flashing now
Flashed and went back to 141.00.10....Damn. I sit here in my office and pick up 3G with Radio 141.00.10, upgraded to 147.00.10 and lost my 3G connection, loaded 141.00.10 back on and have 3G in my office again. Also Tried 1.40.30.00 and 1.43.00.00 with same results.

great
great!!!
i will test 1.47
Thanks....just got done flashing. Let's see how it goes for few days!
Just tested radio in Long Beach CA
I used the 1.46 for a day and it worked great. Seem to have better reception and the I net connect was like non other (previous was 1.43). I get HSPDA with 1.43 and 1.46 (3.5g) As soon Toejam posted the 1.47 (j/k JJ)I flashed my radio. Calls were cool, but surfing the net sucked big monkey HUEVOS (balls) the damm thing would get stuck everytime I launched a page . So I reverted to the 1.46.
Since my beaner ass has not figure out the damm signature yet here is what I8525 ATT unlocked
Black Shadow (Jams i will be donating soon)
With way two many programs I D.L that ill never use
working as a lead TECH for ATT.
how about radio 1.47?
how about HTC_boot of 1.47? 0108 or 0182?

sharing my ICS experience with this Radio ROM
I need to downgrade my radio from v1.48.00.00 to v1.41.00.10. Is it possible to do this, or is downgrading out of the question. The reason I want to is because I got MUCH better performance out of the older version than the new one.
FYI:
ROM: Black Satin Normal WM6
Current Radio: 1.48.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.81.7070.20H
SPL: Olipro v2.10
I did some searches of the forum, but couldn't find anything relevant, and MR VANX's site doesn't seem to have anything specifically with regards to downgrading only the radio of the PPC.
I'd appreciate any quick responses you all can provide. Thanks!
Can I DOWNGRADE my Radio
The short answer "YES"............
The long answer........ "READ"......... "READ"........"READ".........
Although this has become much easier and SAFER thanks to many wonderful and intelligent people on these boards, IT IS NOT something that you should undertake if YOU DON'T KNOW the answer to your own question.........
A BIG HINT.......take a look at MrVanx's guides......the wiki...... and the "radio only".......upgrade forums, guides, etc......
The Answers are OUT THERE.....................all you have to do IS FIND THEM!!!!!!
I've flashed a lot of ROMS......I'm no techie by any stretch of the imagination, however I ALWAYS....read, check, double check & check again. to ensure I have a pretty good understanding of what to expect, what to do if something goes wrong.....etc.....
Not flaming you......but I am strongly encouraging you to get the wisdom, BEFORE you jump of the CLIFF.................grasshopper!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck,
vpu2....OUT!!!!

Yes , you can downgrade your radio rom like a normal upgrade.

What didn't you like about the 1.48 rom? I went from the official cingular radio to 1.48 and I notice better reception and TERRIBLE battery life. I seem to get about half the battery life that I did pre 1.48. I have the same apps that I have had with both radios.

So I can just run the updater for the v1.41.00.10 radio version and downgrade that way without worrying about it catastrophically killing my phone?
Oh, and I want to go back to the older version because I found that I would get signal drops where I previously had signal and could make calls. I would also more frequently get the signal tower and ! mark, and not be able to make calls at all. I also noticed power draining MUCH faster than before. I thought that might be caused by the new Satin ROM I was using, but I'm glad to find out it might be caused by the radio upgrade.
So is it just a normal downgrade by running the updater executable?

But becareful of HTC_Bootloader, since from 1.38 to 1.48 are still 0108
so it's free to up or downgrade.
Once it has been changed, then we might not be able to do that again.
Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah it would be nice to find out definitively, since I'm sure none of us want to see that 'GSM not found' or some such error...
Can anyone answer with any sort of confidence (even just confirming imdantes's post above would be good).
Thanks!
Of course if you like.
The bootloader can't be downgraded as of now.
I'm an unfortunate victim of this little issue.. my X01HT extended ROM had a radio version of 1.14 listed, but some bogus bootloader version much higher than anything released currently.
Now I'm stuck with an inferior radio version and can do nothing about it due to the bootloader that I can't downgrade.

This is the thread I got most of this information from, pretty logical.

If you have SPL 2.1o Olipro then you are relatively safe in undertaking this task. I have downgraded from 1.48 to 1.47.10 when i was trying to solve some problems.

Exact same thing here. Which is why I tried 1.50 (a LOT better battery life and voice quality, pretty much the same reception though).

I also experienced 1.48 drains much more power than other version of radio.
(almost 50% more)
Since Radio 1.50 is still 0108, I might give it a try!
I just extracted the radio 1.47.51.00 from the htc x7501 wm6 rom and packaged it so it only flashes the radio only. Please ensure if you want to use make sure your device is hardspl which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
I have flashed it twice now and both times without no probs only set back is that after the radio upgrade your device will hard reset and have to set up device again. I am using this radio with the latest dopod wm6 upgrade now.

I bet your club doesn't do Guinness at £1.50 a pint.
if you haven't CID unlocked already (or if you have) if this has a new radio bootloader, (0108) your CID will be stuck from now on.
then again, it might not, I'll report back in the morning

update
1st post updated with radio 1.45.00.00
I have been using the 1.47.51.00 radio and so far not much difference between them although I think radio 1.45.00.00 has got a better 3g signal and vice versal with radio 1.45.00.00 has got a better gsm signal.
Both radios has got similar battery life in my own opinion and to fairly say that both radios are really good in terms of overall use with the athena

Question.
Before i go ahead and update (or use midgets hotly anticipated cooked ROM), does this X7501 radio ROM include the Video calling functions, or would that be the main ROM that includes that?

I have been using the x7501 radio rom thats in my sig and tested it with video call and it works, not that I have used it that much.
Cheers D.
I would assume then that the Radio ROM supports it, it may just be that the Main ROM has had those functions removed for the X7501.
I'll give it a go. Hopefully it will stop the problems I get when leaving a 3G area. Every time I do, i get no signal for around 10 seconds while it latches on to the 2G signal.
Of course, it could just be that T-mobile have crappy transmitters in my area.....
We need a newer and better radio for the Athena. Currently using the 1.57 and it is ok, but my kaiser (which has many choices for radio) always gets a better GSM and Wcdma signal than the Athena.
I believe the 1.57 is a x7510 radio. I wonder when they actually are released, will they ship with a better radio or will more be available once the carriers get them?
The kaiser seems to be able to use radio from several devices. Does anyone know if there are any newer Athena radios in the future?
1.57 is the best now.
Can we put 1.57 in an old X7500 (with currently 1.38) ?

1.57 is the latest you tit.

Oli, thanks for the put down. Do you ever answer a post without telling the poster he is an ass, tit, wanker or ****wad. Was not comparing the two, just the fact that it has more radios available.
