I'm new to Hero, I looked through the wikis but I'm not sure how to determine which radio I need? My current radio is 63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08.20. I live in the middle of the city in Austin, TX and I also have a house in Houston, TX. For Windows Mobile the radio I use is 1.14.25.24. Anyone know which radio would work for me, or how I can figure it out without having to flash all of them?
yeah same doubt i live in Puerto Rico, please help!
The biggest thing you need to know is have you got a CDMA hero or a gsm hero?
Once you know that you go to the thread for that specific devices radio and just pick one that is newer than yours.
For the gsm hero the latest radio is very good (in my opinion)
just use the newest one, radios are not specific for an area or something. they are only specific for a phone model, e.g. hero or cdma hero or nexus or iphone or...
Is there any regional differencies ? As I can see EU it may mean Europe or we can just take any radio and it will work everywhere ?
If not, what does mean this chars EU, FU, IU, JU
63.18.55.06_6.35.04.25
63.18.55.06_6.35.05.15
63.18.55.06_6.35.05.31
63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08
63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
Thanks

No the letters don't matter at all, they are believed to be just HTC internal coding.
So since I have the GSM Hero I should go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563757 - and get the newest one from the bottom of the list which is "63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26"?
Make sure you know what recovery is and how to flash a radio before you move on.
You can find them by reading through posts inside "developement" form.

Looks new according to the Wiki page. Can you dump the ROM? There is a thread in this forum that shows you how to dump it.
Thanks.

Hope fully this should be the new ROM when i took my TP this was the information available & Model it T 7276 if i am not wrong.......
After few days i brought TP i did Hardspl & used so many ROM's & now i have stick to Latinos & using .20M1 as i found .28 is poor in every aspect.
Now my device information is:-
----------------------------
ROM version: 1.95.502.5.WWE
ROM date: 10/20/08
Radio version: 1.08.25.20
------------------------
Model No: HTC Touch Pro T7272
T7272 in India...
...are you sure it's a T7272? Is it one of the Idea Cellular branded models?
I recently got one, I believe it's a T7276, and have yet to find any information on it:
...does it actually support 3G for when I'm in a country with 3G?
...does GPS work (so far I have been unable to get it to)?
Things I've noticed:
...battery life is awful - dropped 1 bar while I was sleeping with no calls and no sms (bluetooth & wifi off).
...wifi reception is awful (sitting right next to my router I still only get 1mbps and it drops regularly).
I've recently flashed the new HTC WWW ROM and battery is better - though still poor. I'm tempted to try the newest radio and dll combo just to see if that helps any.

may i know which place yuo are in india and which operator do you use.
Bangalore using Airtel.
From what I heard, getting the right radio is trial and error.
Was wondering if anyone knew which gave best reception?
My phone currently has 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 and my reception is just OKAYish.
Also, you need to root to install Radios, correct?
Can we use Telus 850/1900 MHz Radio?
With our Heros?
I would like to "gain" 3G in US
Try using the latest one, 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22.

this one arouses a few questions for me:
which is the latest, 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22 or 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22? the IU one is the last to be available as update.zip, can i download the IH version somewhere in update.zip format?
or are we talking about cdma radio versions here?
I think the question here is do you have a gsm hero or a cdma hero, because I don't think you can flash a gsm radio onto a cdma hero. but seeing as you have the EU radio on it I'm going to assume a gsm hero.
I have the 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22, and it seems to serve me well, but then again i'm in england, you're best option is to flash one of them, test it for a day, flash another and test until you've tested them all, and then pick from whichever gave you the best service. Its a long task, but its the thorough option.

Well, maybe I should been more clear. The IH and IU are the same rom. It can also present itself as IW. I'm not sure what the difference means, I presume it's based on the hardware (which bands/frequencies and such that is used in your particular hardware).
If you look inside the radio image you can find all the strings mentioned.
63.18.55.06IW
63.18.55.06IH
63.18.55.06IU
So I guess the 63.18.55.06I is the version (combined with the numbers after it) and the W/H/U is depending on your particular phones hardware.
The same thing is true for the other versions aswell (at least on my phone).
Short version: I use IU version (as it's named here on xda, maybe it should just be named 'I'), it presents itself as IH on my Nordic Hero.
thx for the clarification, packetlss.
Hi.
I see that some custom roms include radie versions 17.xx and 16.xx. Does the Radio make a difference? And what king of difference.
Is the radio only for reception and such? I have TELIA 3g (Sweden).
And if I use a custom rom and whant to install update of the same rom builder do i lose everything installed on the phone?
Same question as OP
Hi, I've been trying to search for answers to the same question of this OP. What are the differences between radio 16.x and radio 17.x? I know in most cases we are advised to stick with the 16.x radio, but are there places/advantages to radio 17.x?
been wondering the same thing over here
Well, one thing that's different, which many have pointed out before, is that radio 17.5.xx won't work for my phone (AT&T - unbranded). I'm guessing it has to do with the hardware they are using... The unbranded phones get 850/900/2100 MHz. and AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz, So I'm guessing the 17.5 radio updates unbranded and 16.5 works for AT&T. As to what differences the updates do? We may never know,,, The truth is out there! But Mulder and Scully are retired
G'day,
I scored a Telstra HD2 off eBay. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Radio firmware I could flash to update the radio. Can I use a non-Telstra radio on my Telstra HD2, or will this brick it for sure? If I can flash a updated radio, will it enable any unsupported bands? For example, a Telstra 3G can't talk on 900Mhz 3G, but a normal HD2 can.
The reason I am considering upgrading the radio is because I'm thinking of using Windows Phone 7 on it.
Over to you, XDA Community!
Any radio (hspl required to flash radios)
Only radios with a x.xx.50 are suitable for use with magldr (go flash 2.15.50 then forget about it)
No, changing radios will never change the supported bands.
Followed your instructions, worked a treat.
+1 Thanks.
Greetings,
Ive lurked on xda for years without ever posting. All problems are solvable with a little research and the help of our mutual friend google
Im on my 4th HTC device, now a OneX+ that was brought into Dubai from Taiwan. Having successfully rooted and rommed all my phones and tablets, I kinda jumped the gun and started mucking around with my phone a bit early, using the rootboot early on.
I attained SU properly, but I had the same problems as others that in HBOOT, the radio was "unknown". Unfortunately I didnt write down the original radio settings, so im not entirely sure what my device is.
Now with the latest CWM, I have a working radio, CWM and AndroRevolution 3.0 working brilliantly. Radio is being reported again as the EU version of .16
However what I wanted to know are the following questions:
1) Just a bit of confirmation; the boot.img dictates the radio, correct?
2) If yes, then is it possible to flash a different radio than the original? If no, then does this mean since my radio is confirmed and everything is working, my current radio _IS_ the correct one?
3) My region and provider has LTE support and my provider says I only need to enable it on my phone. However using the dialcode to access test settings and change through the modes, it keeps switching from any LTE reception back to something with WCDMA. I cannot even switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. It switches back within 2 seconds.
So what Im trying to ascertain here is, do I possibly have the wrong radio, and if I do is there a way to figure out what it should have been?
The other piece of the puzzle is that despite the unit is from Taiwain, the original language when i switched it on was German, which would suggest it is in fact a EU unit.....
Ive searched through many tools, apps, threads, specs, with no luck in answering the question.... Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Boot.img is the kernel and has nothing to do with the radio
2. You can only flash different radio versions by either flashing an RUU or by S-OFF. Radio is a security protected partition. FLASHING A RADIO WILL NOT ENABLE 4G ON A NON 4G DEVICE!! The HOX+ Inrernational version is 3G only. So in answer to your question. Yes you can flash a new radio, but no you will never have 4G on an international hox+

I do have S-OFF though, so is there a way to confirm if its the international version? The model is PM35110. Any reference online is always in Asian language, so hard to tell. I suppose international version really means all countries.
Bugger.... I bought this specifically for LTE support... :crying:

How did you get S-OFF? Do you mean an unlocked bootloader? because that's a different thing. Nand protection security flag, remains intact when unlocking bootloader. so write protected partitions like radio remain unaffected. Either way it's not a software issue. Its a hardware issue. The LTE device have different radio hardware not just software, So your device is either LTE ready or not.

Er yes, you are not confused, i am. HBOOT is showing S-ON, so I must have been high on caffeine when I was sure I saw S-OFF at one point. However like I mentioned I was playing with the rootboot boot.imgs early on and I was pretty sure I saw S-OFF then. But incidentally that was also when the radio was "unknown" at that time.
Oh well, Im stateside for Xmas and will give my dad the international version and buy myself a new one.
Thanks for your help

You're doing it so, so wrong.
A quick search of the model number reveals that it's the Endeavour C2. If you have an LTE version it would be Evitareul.
1) Wrong. Radios are flashed separately and are not packed into the boot.img.
2) It is possible but unless you are S-OFF you cannot flash one very easily.
3) The reason why is because your device does not support LTE.

Radios are not .img files to be flashed, they're in /system/etc
