OK, really interesting question (at least to lot of us noobs!)
If I restore a nandroid backup, does the radio it was working with get reinstalled?
Or do I have to re-install.
Specifically, I am going from GB with MR2 and want to redo a Froyo. Do I have to go find the Froyo radios again?
Thanks

Depends on the Froyo you want. If it's one of the three ROM's that just came out with the MR2 radios then no. If it's an older Froyo ROM then yes...you have to flash the old Froyo radios seperately from the ROM.

+1....you have to hboot or load the radio file that you want/need.

Is it possible to downgrade the radio? Phone seemed much smoother before upgrading. Want to go back, possible?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that's quite how it works. I think it's not that simple, if I wanted to revert from a new radio and what not on my Fascinate I had to odin it back? I may be wrong though, I'm sure someone with far greater knowledge will chime in.

You are correct, it is not that simple. As far as my knowledge goes you would need the stock ruu and run that in hboot. This of course would reset your phone to stock. The real answer to your question is someone would need to pull the previous radio version and make it hboot flashable so you do not lose soff and recovery

Are you sure you got the correct radio update? There were a couple of versions floating around yesterday that were missing or had something wrong with the 4G radio. It might be worth downloading again and reflashing if you haven't already done so.
On my G2 all we had to do was flash the old radio in hboot in zip format. Problem is that I haven't seen the old radio posted any where in a zip format.

I dont think i flashed the right one. I just reflashed the correct one so we'll see if it helps.
And no, restoring a backup will not restore your old radio. That i know!
Just flash the PG05IMG.zip of the original radio? Or is there a different way to go about this.

Yes, through hboot..
Okay I thought so just didn't know if there was anything different thanks a lot!
this should work for non-root too?
i thought if the radio was older, it would not flash... has anyone tried going back? i'm considering trying CM7 and need MR1 for that.

That's not true, it will still work. Flash away
Just remember tho that if you flashed the full RUU of the MR2 leak then you lost root, so hopefully you had just flashed the updated radio.
i didnt flash the RUU, just the radio. anyone know which radio is the proper one to work with CM7?
So just saw the post on the leak of the new mr2 software and radio. Has anyone had problems with it yet? I want to upgrade the radio and then go to an mr2 room ( i think thunderrom was the only one i could find that had ingegrated it) but i want to make sure it's all good to go first. Also would be nice if someone could post the radio link cuz I already lost it lol. Oh and would it be better to wait for gingerbread release since its supposed to be out by q2 and Im gonna do that anyway or should i do this since it's probably gonna be delayed?
Android Police MR2 leak
I've been running MR2 stock RUU since the leak and have had no issues.
The market app was an older version, but that was it really, no reboots yet!
Yea i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714 when it leaked and flashed almost every gingerbread/sense rom available without any problems so far

Wait Im more confused now... I thought this was a radio that worked for froyo not gingerbread. Is this just a more improved version if the previous gingerbread radio leak?
Alright after reading up some more it appears that this is the latest radio that will work for either gingerbread or froyo is that correct? Because the perfect storm and gingerbamf both use the mr2 radio but there on two different software versions. and unless Im wrong the perfect storm is still froyo
it will work on all gingerbread based roms, but only SOME froyo. I think PlainJane works (double check just in case). I just jumped straight to GB to get this radio

It works on both but only on newer froyo releases released in the past few days or so. There is a thread on the full ruu that explains this. Sorry I'm not at a computer or I'd post a link. I think it was posted by chingy or jcase...

easy answer this radio works with both. however it will not work with the froyo our phones came with or with the recent fail OTA update. It works with the newly leaked OTA update (MR2) which is still froyo but with an updated base. It also works with ALL the Gingerbread ROM's based off the gingerleak.
I've been running since perfect storm 1.5 was released and it runs flawless. for fun i have flashed some of the gingerbread rom's and it works fine except for the usual gingerbread bugs that are still being worked on.
hope this helps
Thanks for the fast replies everyone that helped a ton! One last question should I update my radio or install the new Rom first? I've seen it both ways and also with a flash, battery pull, and then straight to hboot but which is best?

doesn't matter...i find it easier to boot into recovery and flash rom...pull battery and boot in bootloader to flash radio and good to go...
it's just easier that way cuz if you flash radio first you gotta delete PG05IMG to get into recovery (which means pulling sd card and putting into adapter for computer)...or you have to fully boot into your old rom which will no longer work and then boot into recovery from there.
good luck
How can I tell if I successfully installed the new MR2 ruu.
My TB is rooted
Here's what I did: I restored my Stock Rom. I replaced the other(MR1) file with the one that I downloaded from the leak post. I turned off the phone. Held vol - and power. That got me to HBoot, then it asked if I wanted to update. Clicked yes and it did it's thing. Rebooted, wiped data, cache, dalvik. Installed The perfect Storm v1.5. It didn't brick so I think it didn't take.

This is what my Software says, look about right?
newest radio, newest froyo software. your good to go
Sweet. Do you think I should be worried about random brick?
only a problem with a pre release radio for gingerbread roms. dont fool around with anything you dont know about and youll be fine. i would recommend doing a clockwork backup though
Been running it since it leaked, no issues on two different GB ROMs.

The devs think the bricking issue is related to Hardware, not the software or radios. Read up on it. There are some things you can do to mitigate the risk, but the possibility is still there. You are running Froyo I think (PS 1.5?). MR2 will run that til you are ready to move to GB.

Sorry.....very stupid question:
What radio are you supposed to use with BAMF Remix 1.8?
MR2?
thanks!
Stock, mr1, mr2, and mr2.5.

I didn't think you could use mr2 or mr2.5 with non gingerbread and non mr2 ruu froyo builds, or is 1.8 using the new ruu?
NOT MR2 or MR2.5
bamf 1.8 isnt an mr2 froyo rom so any of the mr1 radios
I'm sorry for the misguided info. Thanks for the correction. I must've read somewhere that it is backwards compatible with the bamf froyo build. Man, I'm getting old.
Can somebody link me to an MR1 radio(s)? The radio thread is confusing I dont know which is which

Look in the radio thread from ad he has them listed the first ones are all old froyo but if you read the op you will see that,no one radio is best you need to try them and find the one that works for you,so off your lazy asses and do some research then you just might get your phone to work as good as the rest of us.

It's not for me, as I already said. 2.2 radio was so much better and if you read the whole thread you'll see that a lot of people find it worse.

Well I re-flashed the new radio AGAIN and now it works great.
Not sure why it wasn't working.
New radio was better for me on second flash also. Don't know why, but ul/dl speeds are now a wee bit faster, and more stable.
wow that's a hope, thanks, i'll give a try
It WORKS.
Speedtest results:
Ping gone from 100ms to 58ms (constant after 3 tests), down speed gone FROM 1.08Mbps TO 4.10Mbs (O.O), up from 0.86 to 1.75
That's cool.
