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

The radio you have is fine, there is nothing to worry about.
No radio comes "stock" with CM7.
thanks dude
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!
Just want to know...
After you updated your device to OTA 4.5.91 (2.3.4) AT&T , is your radio updated too ?
Thanks.
UP ..........
radio
You get the .91 radio also. So yes, new radio. (even if nothing changes, I heard they give it a new number.)
I am running unlocked 4.5.91, flashed via the SBF, and my Baseband version is N_01.77.30P.
Does that sound right, or do I need to flash something newer (for kernel support, etc; my phone is functioning fine with good cell speeds (5.4mbps down, 1mbps up) and gps lock, and although wifi is slow to start it works)?
Thanks!
Yeah, thats the radio you need to be on, its the at&t GingerBread radio.
OP, you can get just the radio .img here if you want to flash it before doing the OTA udpate (assuming you haven't already done this):

I rooted with Revolt. long time ago, and my ROM is Infectedrom.
Android v 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.5
software 2.11.605.5
Baseband 1.48.000.0930w_3,0.01.78.0916w_3
I have hboot to the PG05IMG.zip several times and it contains the latest radio files and give me good updates on the hboot screen, but still no 605.9.
Any ideas would be helpful,
Ron
If im reading your post right, you have to flash a rom with 605.9 as its base. You flash roms through recovery not hboot. Flashing the radios will not change the software version..
Okay, slightly confused. How do I tell if I have the latest radio file versions? I thought the Software number was the radio files version, 2.11.605.5. What should I be looking for?
My rom (Build number?), InfectedROM Eternity (Nightly), is fine and I assume its the latest and greatest.
You got a noob here, but trying--you and me!!

Can you flash a radio using Clockwork?
The Software version is NOT the radio version. If you go into settings, about phone, software info, more info, you should see baseband version under the kernel version. The baseband version is your radio version.
The latest radio that came with latest OTA is 0.01.78.0916w_3

Thanks, therefore my radio is up to date (see first post). Can you unconfuse (if that is a word) me on what is 605.5 and 605.9 software version and where I should be.
Thanks for the reply,
Ron
605.5 and 605.9 are versions of the phone's official firmware, 605.9 being the most up to date. the newest radio in question was included in 605.9 as an update to the older radio, but it was extracted from that firmware release so that rooted users could update only the radio and not the entire firmware.
that's what you've done already.
if you're rooted and running a ROM that you like and works for you, there isn't any reason to upgrade your firmware version (especially since you've already installed the newest radio). if there are big features or changes in 605.9 that the developers want to include in their ROM, they will release a new version of that ROM for you to flash. also, 605.9 has caused most (all?) rooted users who accepted the upgrade to lose root.
basically - if you updated to the newest radio, everything works and you're happy with it, don't worry about it. keep an eye on your favorite ROM's thread for updates from those developers and don't sweat Verizon's official releases.
(please do correct me if I have any of that wrong!)

THANK YOU!!!!
I needed that education, but I am sure that was obvious. I will watch and wait my rom developer for additional updates.
BTW, the Rezound battery is GREAT. A little tight, and I should have polished the edges because it is gonna be hard taking it out.
However, thanks for that explanation....I feel so much better.

I think when I get paid next I'm going to get a rezound battery. I get good battery life with the stock battery, so I'm sure I'll get great life with the rezound's
Does anyone if there's going to be issues with running the international 1.29.401.xx ROMs when it comes to firmware? I'm on the shipping firmware pre-OTA, so I don't have the same radio as the 1.29 ROMs, and everything else is different for me too. Is this going to be an issue or should I just go ahead and flash the radio only?
