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

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):

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.
Hey guys, i have a couple of questions considering the upcoming official ICS update.
At the moment i'm running the Mwakiousrom v6.0. everything works great and i'm really happy with it. the thing is that i'm s-on so i didnt install the new baseband (radio 1.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M). I dont have a windows pc around so getting s-off is hard for me at the moment.
My question now is if the the official ICS updates gets out will i be able to install that one and will that also give me the new firmware.
sorry if my terminology is not correct, i dont have it completely clear whats the differene between firmware, baseband, and radio.

I have a firmware question that I can't seem to find the answer to by searching. I am running arhd 11 on an att HTC one. Should I upgrade the firmware on my phone? Will there be any benefits to this since I am on att and not international? Also how do I go about updating the firmware and does it wipe the device? If I should upgrade, what it's the version I should download? Longtime Samsung user so please excuse the noobness.
If alls running well, then plz avoid ... however, in ARHD thread many AT&T users have updated the firmware without any side-effects
Best to post Q in that thread itself

It is currently not mandatory to flash the new firmware for ARHD, but it does provide a noticeable increase performance depending on the current firmware version you are running, I was running 1.26 on my AT&T m7 and the screen and touch buttons have been much more responsive now that I am running the new 2.24. Flashing the new firmware will also update the baseband, providing you with the latest radio (but performance of this will vary from region to region.
If you go to this link, it will give you some great instructions on the update process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42556698&postcount=24958
BTW, you will need to be s-off and change your cid to 11111111. As long as you take your time and follow the directions completely you will be fine. If you do update make sure you flash the firmware TWICE when it says to, and make sure you re-flash your custom recovery because it will get replaced during the updating process. This process will not delete your sd card and you will be able to run your current ARHD, but it is recommended to do a clean install after. And you might as well since 12.0 is out.
hope this helps
I'm getting a failed not allowed error when trying to 'fastboot flash zip'
I successfully have s-off and changed CID but can't get firmware to flash
Edit: not sure what happened but I was able to push the zip successfully. Maybe from adding the path of the file instead of just the zip file? Anyway, it worked.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
IF the rom is tweaked right theres no real reason to update the firmware to euro build,Id wait till att variant or the dev variant gets the update and then worry about it.
I am going to flash the firmware on my m8 to upgrade to 4.4.4 ARHD but I am still unsure of how to identify the proper firmware zip . Could someone provide some guidance? Attached are some images from the recovery. I'm not sure what numbers I need to match with the firmware zip. And I can't find how to view what numbers are in the zip. Any advice is very much appreciated.
hboot 3.16 corresponds to firmware that deployed with 1.x software. Its what many folks call "1.x firmware" for lack of any better title, since firmware doesn't really have a "number".
If you want to update to the latest ARHD, you need "3.x firmware". Any firmware with number 3.xx.xx will allow the phone to boot normally, and with working WiFi. The numbers after the 3 are just carrier/region specific versions.
But for the AT&T network, you are probably best off flashing the 3.28.1540 firmware posted on WNC's ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Thanks a lot!

So even if you just want the new Firmware, you have to do everything in that thread? I'm asking because it shows installing a ROM then doing stuff with Xposed, which I assume will be undone when the ROM changes

No, you just need to perform the steps listed under "Updating firmware" numbered 1-8. And also skip the very last step (Step 8, Substep 3).
The rest is if you want to run the modified Dev Ed ROM, as you have somewhat already figured out. But honestly, if you are on AT&T's network, I would consider the ROM anyway. Many folks (including myself) get various network errors running "international" based custom ROMs; which the debloated Dev Ed ROM does not suffer from.
