Hi All,
I've been able to successfully run CM7 7.1.1 and MR2 radio successfully on my Tbolt. I tried to help a friend out with his slightly older Tbolt and used the Radio guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128. His baseband reads 1.13.605.7, so we matched it up with the list and downloaded the file and applied successfully with HBOOT.
The problem with run into is when we flash CM7 and boot up, we always get a "SIM card unavailable, emergency calls only" message and the baseband reads "version unavailable", everything works under the stock rom and we can see the radio versions have changed to the ones we flashed, so a faulty flash doesn't appear to be the problem. Any ideas what we've done wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you have to use a newer radio than the one you mentioned with CM7. Download the newest radio available, flash it, then you should get service with CM7.
How do I find the newer radio, and are there different versions?
Thanks.

newest radio are the official released 1.48.00.0906w_1, 0.01.78.0906w_2

Either download them as a package or go to the thunderbolt radio thread in the dev section and download the CDMA and LTE seperate, and flash both through HBOOT.

Hey guys,
So i was running the leaked GB radio and BAMF 2.0.5 until last night when I decided to avoid the brick monster until things were sorted. Nevertheless I couldnt find a thread which clearly stated either to install the older radio or rom first so I used my intuition and backed up, installed the #1 radio from the Ob Radio thread then booted and rebooted into recovery via adb and installed BAMF 1.7. I was not able to gain mobile data at anytime so I tried Radio #3 with also negative results..
Is there something im doing wrong? I wiped Data and Cache and Dalvik 3x times before flashing anything to be sure the GB reminents were gone. Should I reflash the rom then radio? Im lost.. Thanks for the help..
Reflash both.
Same thing happen to me. I have try everything. I had to flash back to stock ota And then 4G came back. Then I had the root all over again. That should be your last option though

I flashed the update all in one ROM, which gave me a rooted verizon OTA, and the radio worked just fine, 4G working faster than with the GB radio.
After that I flashed the 4th Froyo radio, then BAMF 1.7, and all is still good! I miss Netflix though!
So Pray just to be certain you flashed the "Custom upgrade PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip" from step 7 of the Root thread? Then flashed Radio #4 which is version
Next up, the 1.12.605.6 CDMA and 1.13.605.7 LTE radio
CDMA Radio version: 1.16.00.0223r
LTE radio version that came with 1.13.695.7
Am I missing anything?

Correct. But unless you are going to run CM7 I wouldn't flash the old 223r radio, I'd just flash the upgrade RUU and you're good.
Hello, Folks,
I'm using a HTC Thunderbolt with PS 1.4 and am unable to update to the new 1.5. Using Rom Manager, I've tried installing the zip directly, renamed the file to update.zip and installing that way, and installed it as a new rom. It will boot to a menu to select "English." It will then try to activate but will not. Please help.
Let me guess, did you install the new radio also?
There was not a radio listed at the download page. The last radio update came from 1.4. Where can I get the radio for 1.5?

The link is in the second line of the PS 1.5 OP. It's the MR2 radio.
Yup, without the MR2 radio you won't get data so you cannot activate.
it takes time when that screen pops up

You obviously don't read very well...
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!!

Great info!
Is there any benefit one of these radios to the other?
Thanks,
Bryan

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.

TL;DR fixed it so that I could get on the VZW network but I can't update to the latest global firmware. My Baseband version is 2.22.100801r/2.22.10.0803r but the RUU won't run.
OK so I was getting horrible speeds (50kB/sec down) on neo's new ROM and I noticed that my radio/firmware wasn't matching (one ended in 21r and the other ended in 23r) so I decided to update the radio to the newest global by running the global RUU but it wouldn't run it just said "parsing" and then would bring me back to hboot. So I downloaded the latest firmware/radio combo from the combo thread in android dev and flashed it. I rebooted into the ROM and it said "baseband unknown" and wouldn't connect to cell or data, so I wiped data and rebooted then android.phone kept crashing, so I tried to run the firmware update again and it didn't change the radio. The RUU wouldn't run either. I tried flashing the radio partition using the radio.img from the RUU and it was successful but upon reboot the radio/firmware version didn't change.
I'm at a loss of what to do now.
I'm s-off, on hboot 2.27 and my radio version is 2.22.100801r/2.22.10.0803r
OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507
The radio image that I grabbed from that thread said that it was the latest and was from last month so I figured it was correct.
I'm in desperate need of help...
edit: I just relashed a ROM to get it so that it would boot to Android and it connected to 3G and the cell network so that's good and I'm back in business. The only remaining question is how can I get it updated to the current firmware?

try the full global ruu from android police or one from the roms that have it in their op! that should help, do you have a stock hboot or modified one?

Looks like you're on the latest firmware to me. Your baseband version and hboot are the newest
Oh OK thanks, I didn't know if that was the newest baseband because in Neo's new rage AOSP ROM he mentions that you should be on the newest firmware which he states is 1.22.10.0424r
If I am truly on the latest firmware then that makes complete sense as to why it won't upgrade

I believe he just meant the ICS original ota radios. I can't speak for him, however, the radios and hboot you have are all current, so you're good to go!
Hi all my phone is stuck on the 4G screen and won't boot up. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've been in ra recovery and wiped and flashed and wiped and flashed some more. I'm stuck and need some help.
what rom are you on?
