First is there any specific improvement or reason I should flash MR2 since I'm planning on using CM7?
Should I definitely flash radio first?
Should I flash the radio from fastboot?
You can flash ROM but once you load it, you won't have signal. And you have to flash the radio zip in hboot. But i may be wrong.

many are saying better radio performance.
install rom. then flash radio in hboot. then use some sort of file manager to remove the radio file.
definitely disable fastboot
yes!!! cm7 is a joke and its basically just using apps from the market to make it so there really is no point. Just do a ROM flash

I would like to start flashing some new ROMS. Why I'm not sure, because my random reboots are almost never. You have to flash new radio for the gingerbread roms. So when I restore a nandroid back up of my current ROM which uses the latest OTA will I have to reflash radio also?
Radio HAS to be flashed in hboot, recovery does not control it. So yes you would have to flash the 2.2 radio in hboot when restoring a 2.2 ROM. Its common sense, if you cant flash the radio in recovery why would you think a restore would revert it?
Lot of hostility there man... i knew that radios are flashed in hboot but i didnt know that recovery didnt back that part up. he was asking a legitimate question theres no need to be so upset.

Due to my lack of common sense I was not sure if restoring effects radio. I haven't had to flash radio as of yet. But now that you mention it, when I updated to my latest ROM it was thru hboot using the RUU. Thanks for the answer.

Did you flash a Gingerbread radio? That is almost 99% of the time the issue. You can't run 2.0 on stock Froyo radio. If you need help I can help further pm me.
similar issue,
flashed this rom - [ROM][5.25.11] BAMF GingerREMIX v2.0 Beta #5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095280
Install went fine, but phone would not work and sim card not found. You mention gingerbread radio since froyo wont work. Its not listed in that post that a seperate flash is required. Had to reflash back to bamf 1.63 remix to get phone working.
Any help would be appreciated.

It mentions the GB RUU so that means you have to have it. Which btw it's known to brick your phone without warning.
The reason you did not have any data is because you were still using the froyo radio, to run any of the BAMF 2.0's you need the gingerbread radio.
grab the mr2 radio. that will work

This is what it recommends I do
Things to know:
•A FULL WIPE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
•This is a leaked GB RUU, it has bugs, all we can do is try our best to squash them! Flash at your own risk.
I thought the gingerbread radio was also included in the rom(my mistake). From a novice point of view. If I do a full wipe and then install bamf 2.0.
1. What method can be utlized to flash the gingerbread radio?
2. What is the correct gingerbread radio for bamf 2.0?
3. Is there a way to flash bamf 2.0 with the updated radio already included in the rom?
Thanks again in advance.
hey mojo they never found the cause of the few bricks so what you said was false and you flash the radio in hboot read the thread on rooting or the radios it tells you all you need to know how to flash it doesnot matter what order you flash the rom and radio just remember to delet the radio file from your sd card once you flashed it

Radios are seperate. They need to be flashed in the bootloader. Use the MR2 radio as the other radio bricks your phone.

No what you just said was false. Since they don't know where the bricking comes from, it's safe to say that its possibly from that radio. SOOOOOOOO use the MR2 radio instead.
there is no rom with the radio included, put the mr2 on your sd card rename it,reboot the phone and hold the down volume and power button until it brings you into the boot loader it will find the file and ask it u want to update hit the power button wait til its done and reboot

I have downloaded the mr2 radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714
Just want to confirm, once I follow the steps I had previously posted,
1. manually flash bamf 2.0 from recovery
2. go in to bootloader and flash m42 radio
I should be up and running? Minus any of the known bugs obviously...

yup but make sure before you flash anything you wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. After everything is done throw in a fix permissions just for good measure and you're good to go.
Im now up and running with bamf 2.0
Thanks
Thanks all . Bamf Rom running well now with service after Mr2 radio flashed

Ok.. I have read through some other posts..
First thing I did was flash the new radio (#1 on "Obligatory Radio thread).. I used hboot after putting the file directly onto the root of my phone..
Then I downloaded 2.1 Bamf.. i preformed the flash in ROM manger.. After all went through I had no service..
I re-hbooted the radio, just for safe measures.. still no service... To make things worse i can''t acess my HD through my computer..
HELP PLEASE!!
I am getting an
"application sync service (in process com.fusonone.android.sync.service) is not responding
and a
HTC DM (in process com.htc.android.omadm.service) is not responding
The Gingerbread BAMF ROMs require the Gingerbread radio. You flashed a Froyo radio instead. Go back and grab the right radio.
I was under the impression the radio I flashed was a GB radio.. it was a link directly from the BAMF thread.. If i am mistaken I am extremly sorry for wasting your time..
What is a correct GB radio?
The newest GB radio can be found here. I'm not sure which version was in the Radio thread, but it was the last one listed.
Thanks..
Although, now when i flash that radio... same thing happens.. No service..
Do I need to do anything special? I am using Hboot to flash it..
I would re-flash the rom and then install the radio again or revert back to your old rom and radio and then redo it. I always flash roms from the clockwork mod recovery screen as I have had issues doing it with rom manager.
And there we goo.. Thank you both VERY MUCH!!
No problem glad i could help!
I updated to Cyanogenmod 7 and had no service. I followed the instructions and flashed the stock radio. I've now flashed a few of the different radios but can't get my Thunderbolt to connect to VZW's network.
Anyone have any idea how I can get a connection?
Thanks!

Which RC of CM7?
What "few...different radios"?
Newest version of CM7 no longer supports MR1 and requires one of the following MR2 leak, MR2.5 leak, OTA MR2, or GB leak.
I flashed RC1.4. I've flashed the newest and the oldest on this post. It isn't very clear anywhere which Radio goes with the latest CM7 version.

Is there a link to a radio that will work?
Appreciate your help!
Is it possible that I'm not flashing the radio correctly? I'm putting the PG05IMG file on my SD, booting in recovery mode, letting it update, and then rebooting.
As far as I thought...this was the proper way to update the radio?

No. Radios are not installed via recovery.
Download one of these (either will work)...
OTA MR2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160346
GB Leak: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1669-Radio-Leak-7-17-11-2.xx.xxx.x-Radio-New-Gingerbread-RUU
Place the zip of whichever you choose on the root of your sdcard and name it PG05IMG.zip
Boot to hboot (either manually by booting with Power+VolDwn from power-off then select Bootloader or select "Reboot" then "Bootloader" from the Power menu in CM7).
Follow the directions to flash it in bootloader.
Reboot when you are told to.
You should now have service.
Make sure to remove the zip from your sdcard after booting as a safety precaution.
It worked...appreciate the help!!

Some people seem to have better luck with certain radios. I personally have been getting the best signal strength and battery life with the official OTA MR2 radio. Some people have said they have better luck with one of the leaked radios. I would reccomend trying the official OTA MR2 radio first if you are on a ROM that supports it. The OP of the ROMs thread will say which radios are compatible and recommended.

We don't flash radios by themselves in recovery. They get flashed along with the other corresponding firmware through HBOOT.
