I'm running the MR3 gingerbread radio and Imoseyon's leanKernel. Both work good on my phone with CM7.
can you upgrade/downgrade radios as you please?

yes you can upgrade/downgrade.
oh and the prefered radio for CM7 is the MR2.5
however, I find the MR3.5 is a bit better on battery, but slows LTE speeds a tad.
What is MR2.5 radio's revision numbers? I'm not too sure about those.
Thanks
It also depends on your CM7 build. I ran the 7.1.1 build from dev forums dated (10-2) with the latest radios (0906) and had reboot issues along with data drops.
I also just wanted to mention that the use of MR numbering is very misleading with all of the leaks that have been considered MR versions. Just use the date numbering like all the other devices people!
When I changed over to ProTekk's Unofficial Builds and the latest radio I've had almost no issues. I'd recomend getting rom manager (the latest builds aren't on the forums here), grab the latest unofficial build *as of 10-28 the latest build number is 20* and flash the newest radio.
Is it necessary to install a kernel and radio when installing Cyanogen Mod 7.1.1?
How can I tell what Radio I am running?

I am wanting to go back to 1.6.3 until a few more bugs are worked out on GB. I'm not sure which radio to download or how to tell which version I need LTE/CDMA, etc...
I keep getting random reboot's on BAMF 2.0.5 and the camera is very buggy. I checked out the manditory radio thread and I'm not sure which one I need. Please help so I can use my phone again.
Use tthe one that you can download in the bamf 1.6.3 thread........its in the first post.......
Oh yeah, Duh.... I forgot about that one i was looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027804 and couldn't find anything about it, so thanks.
One more Q. Is there a certain order to make this work? I know with GB you have to flash rom first then pull battery and boot into Hboot for it to work. Can I do the same or do I need to flash the radio first then ROM?
Not sure about the order, but basically you can flash any of the Froyo (2.2) radios when using DasBAMF 1.6.3
I would honestly try downgrading to the 1.63 rom and seeing if the 4G stops working before flashing any of the radios. The gingerbread radio should work with 1.63.

I'm actually pretty sure it will not (haven't tested myself though).
Here is the radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081
The first one listed is the newest (2.2) one, which is also linked to in the DasBAMF 1.6.3 thread. Some folks have better luck with the other ones...
Any of the radios listed on this page should work with 1.6.3. If it were me, I'd probably get the ROM and radio saved to my SD card, flash the radio, reboot, then install the 1.6.3 ROM.
GB radios will not work with 2.2 roms, and the order doesn't matter for flashing back

I have just rooted my Thunderbolt and I am looking to install a rom. Das Bamf looks great. I have experience flashing roms on my OG Droid. However I never had to flash any radios. What radios will work/recommended for Bamf? And Do I need to install the 1.7 first then the remix or is the remix a full rom? How do I install the custom lock screens?
You should not have to flash a radio with 1.7 it comes packaged with everything you need. Do a backup, wipe, and flash the new rom.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
same you would a radio. download the zip to your sd card and install it from recovery. When i first installed BAMF, i installed the first or second radio in the radio thread. I had reboots since day one. Then i tried the 3rd radio which i think is old cdma version/new lte version, i still got reboots but not as many. i then went to GB, but went back to Froyo on the news that came out. When i went back, to Froyo, i installed the 4th radio in the thread, which i believe is old cdma version/old lte version. i have not had any reboots since i have gone back. so my recommendation would be to go with the fourth radio.
So still a little confused. If I download 1.7 from rom manager it will flash the radio for me as part of the flash rom step or I need to flash the radio first then install the rom with rom manager?
Also a little help with themes too (see above )

Radios are flashed separately through HBoot, not through recovery. The radios are also not part of the Das Bamf rom. However, the stock radio should work with Das Bamf. There's a separate radio thread here that has some combinations. Do not flash the Gingerbread radio until you read more about the subject. I'm using the second radio listed in that thread, the .7 CDMA radio with the .6 LTE radio(No reboots since I switch to that combo). The instructions for flashing a radio can be found here.
As for Das Bamf, I would recommend downloading it from the thread and loading it manually through recovery instead of going through ROM Manager. Although I've used ROM Manager successfully in the past, many people have had various problems with using it to flash ROMs.

Nothing scientific about it, I just saw someone else say that they stopped getting the random reboots after switching to that particular combo.(The theory was that they were related to the .7 LTE radio) I decided to give it a shot, and I haven't had a random reboot since switching a few weeks ago. I'd say go with that combo until you have a reason to switch to something else due to either problems or newer versions being released.
Thx for the help! If I have a problem which one is the Stock radio. I ask because my og Droid had a touch screen issue and I had to un root it. Will all the extra steps in these time and rooting procedures it is confusing. If I use the auto un root will it reinstall the stock OS and radio along with un rooting and s-on

I've had no problems on BAMF stripped 1.1 and 1.7 on both the release and newest radios.
Tried to flash BAMF 2.0.5
Flashed the first radio in the list of radio's booted back into froyo and it worked fine, flashed BAMF 2.0 Beta 5 and got alot of HTC force close. One was sync and I'm assuming another was the software that activates the phone. After getting to a WIFI, I signed into google and got to the dialer and tried *228 and it told me that I needed to install a sim card. Sim Card was installed! I freaked out and restored a recovery of the stock rom rooted and have no problem getting a signal.
1.) What did I do wrong, do I just need to install one of the other radio's?
2.) When I recover, did it also revert back to the radio that was installed when I did the backup (stock)?
I am a first time HTC flasher!! )) I had a OG that I ran Bugless Beast and many others on, a droid x that ran the gingerbread leak. Maybe I should just be happy to be rooted and on Froyo but I couldn't stay away from Gingerbread after having it on the Droid X. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Excellent post. I flashed to 1.7 today through Recovery as well and haven't had any issues yet. I used Recovery for previous ROM updates also with no problems. I have not tried to flash through ROM Manager, since Recovery has worked well.
I had earlier flashed the radio, so I'm not running the stock radio. I'm running the first radio in the thread (I had 3G/4G handoff issues with the old version of the LTE radio).
Just do a nandroid backup first to be on the safe side.
Just need a question answered. Rooted then went with dasbam prev 4 and the Mr2 radio. Was having problems with Bluetooth and accessing SD card so went back to the stock Rom from root. Now I need to now which radio to flash back from Mr2 since it does not work with stock rooted Rom?
Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081
i would go with one of the ones in this thread for froyo myself.
if your already on the mr2 radio i would just flash a rom that has the latest software base (1.66 something i think). if you want to stick with stock theres still plenty of stock or basic de bloat roms that are using that base. i would recommend the perfect storm. it looks fairly stock but has some nice features.
Mr2 has been a major update for me. Radio is much better and gps lock is damn near instant.

ROMs generally will NOT include the radio files which come with an OTA. The radio files are generally posted separately for people to flash as they chose. I'm on my own stock 2.3.4 ROM but haven't updated the radios yet.
Some people claim to see significant increases with newer versions of radios and some see significant decreases on radios. I personally just haven't had a chance yet.
This thread seems to be fairly well kept and up to date with the latest radios and previous versions in case you wanted to move between radio versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101

IMHO, If you like CleanRom, stay on the one you have now til we get a new ICS leak and see if the kernel issues are fixed or test out the latest CleanRom that allows you to install without updating the firmware on the phone for now.

I highly recommend rezrom 3.3, super fast, stable, and good battery life. Plus bored has a patch you can flash after so you dont have to update to the new firmware.
go with clean rom ICS its got plenty of tweaks and runs fast!
How long does it take to update the firmware? Is there a one click method or something easy like that and do I need to be connected to the internet? I only ask because the only I can connect is through my phone.

CleanRom 4.3 using the old firmware patch. No need to upgrade the firmware right now.
But just be aware, the ICS roms have kernels that really suck the battery down when the screen is on. There's a bug that ramps up the CPU to 100% anytime the screen is on. It might be better to just stick with a GB based ROM for right now.
I tried the cleanrom ics it runs real smooth but reverted to my cleanrom BG.some apps that I like are not compatible with ics yet. My suggestion is to try it, without updating the firmware. Remember to make nandroid backup , but you'll have to run the nandroid helper to revert back to a GB Rom.

No, at this time if you update the firmware you cannot revert back to the prior firmware. That is why the best method maybe for you to try an ICS Rom that has a patch that allows you to use that rom without the firmware upgrade. This way if you want to revert back ti Gingerbread you can.
Before making the jump up to ICS, have a play with Ineffabilis.

The old firmware patch should be in the ROM thread for the ROM you pick. Just check the first post and it should be referenced there.

The CleanROM Kang Tapped version OP states that it uses the leaked firmware. I was curious what I Am Marino meant by applying an old firmware patch that allows him to keep the old firmware. If I'm correct, he can run newer GB ROMs with older firmware, and doesn't have to worry about running older GB ROMs that require older firmware since he still uses older firmware.
I suppose this may be a superceeded by S-Off, but until then if we flash the leaked firmware, there is no way to go back, right?
My goal is to have a reliable, bug-free, firmware/kernel/ROM combo.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any info.
I'm pretty new to this phone if you can't tell.

I've tried most of the rezound roms listed in these forums. I personally like Rezrom and clean romantic, both gb and ics. Currently running cleanrom 4.2 on the new firmware but the latest version doesn't require it (neither does the latest release of Rezrom ics). Both are stable so the big difference is theming. I've noticed that most of the developers are focusing on ics so there haven't been updates to gb roms.
I just went from Cleanrom 1.7 to Nils Business ICS 4.0. Its only been a day since on it but so far I have 52% battery left after 12hrs with moderate use. I have no complaints with this set up and I am updated to the newest RUU leak. Even with the newest RUU I was able to still go back to GB 1.7 and run without issues as well.
If you use market apps for texts like Handcent or anything you will need to do the third party contacts fix so contact pics from facebook or other social networks show up, but if not then no worries.
Running CleanRom 4.3 using the stock kernel, no issues with speed or battery life.
