[Q] Switching BTW Gingerbread ROMS Radio Question - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm currently rocking das BAMF pr4 with the MR2.5 radio and loving it. Anyways, if I switch to another GB ROM do I need to re-flash the Radio as well? Thanks for the help!

You should only need to switch radios if going back to an mr1 based froyo build. I believe all of the listed GB builds are based on the same leaked GB base, making them all compatible with the same radio (and you won't need to reflash that same radio over itself when bouncing around)

Nice..Thanks for the help!

Official 2.1 with old radio?

Hi,
Is anyone running the official 2.1 ROM (rooted, that is) (or any derivative, like VR10) on an older radio like 06.18 (63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18)?
i can confirm that you can use the old radio with a 2.1 rom.
majority orange customers have to do so. the new 2.1 radio doesnt work for them.
i am currently using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed.zip radio with my 2.1 from VR and it has also worked with MoDaCo's 2.1 release

[Q] CM7 Radio Question

Hey Guys,
After seeing what is going on with the GB radio/BAMF bricking situation, I just had a quick question about the radio I am using.
I am running CM7 (the newest based on 2.3.4), but not with the stock radio. I flashed the first one from the Obligatory Radio Thread (1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo.
CDMA Radio version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
LTE radio version that came with 1.13.605.7)
Is this ok to be using? If not, is there a better one I could be/should be using?
On a side note, how can I get back to the stock radio that comes with cm7

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The radio you have is fine, there is nothing to worry about.
No radio comes "stock" with CM7.
thanks dude

radio version question

so i have question on what radio i can use since i dont want to be bricked so first I have never been on the mr1 update, i was on 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.
CDMA Radio version: 1.16.00.0223r
LTE radio version that came with 1.12.605.6
can i just reflash that radio or am i going to need to do flash the mr1 update
I'm fairly certain that the only radio affected is the alpha gingerbread leak
I was on the lastest BAMF 2 with the Alpha radio, and my screen started being unresponsive. I switched back to CM7, and I'm glad I did after all the talk about bricking and such!

Yes this radio is not recommended to use, got problems like this one bar issue, it's a leaked radio.
Use this radio , the official radio from AT&T to GingerBread system :

[Q] No 4G LTE after root

Is anyone having issues with after rooting the Thunderbolt you lose the 4G LTE at the top and stuck with a 1X?
For some reason this is the second Thunderbolt and I'm having the same issues. If anyone can provide some feedback on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Check baseband. When I rooted mine from some reason it wiped my radio. Also make sure the back cover is on tight.
Did you just gain root, or did you also flash a rom? If you flashed a new rom you might need to find the right radio to work with that specific one. I'm new to this as well but what I've gathered from reading, Gingerbread based roms require gingerbread radios to be flashed as well. I think you need MR2 or newer to run with GB based Roms.
Yeah- if you root your Tbolt and are running froyo (which of course you would be unless you got the ota before it was pulled) and then you flash a GingerBread rom - you also have to flash a new radio. Flashing a rom does not change your radio. You have to flash the radio separate. And a GingerBread rom needs a compatible radio.
The latest radio is from the 2.11.605.3 ota. There is a radio thread in the development section. Sometimes they post the LTE radio and the cdma radio separate so you have to flash them both. You flash them in hboot. Not in cwr.
sorry if you knew all that already.
