Do i need to be on the new radio to run an ics custom rom? Im currently still on gb and i dont want to relock and run the ruu.

Yes and no. No, you can just run one of the new ROMs with the patch that is posted. Yes, you should just update and run the RUU because things will be, in general, much smoother for you. Your choice, though.
What are some of the bugs of the new radio?
Bugs? I've got none. It runs incredibly well. And I'm on the Dev edition of CleanROM.
Or just flash an older ics rom. Cleanrom 3 is based off the old leaks, so you don't have to flash leaked firmware.
i asked because usually you do not have to be on a specific radio to run a rom. i don't really like running leaked radios.

I hear you on the radio part, that's part of the reason I haven't played with the leak yet. I'm always leery of flashing radios.

Not the final but another leak with a new radio. Hopefully this means the OTA is close and im praying we finally get some custom kernels. Wish we could flash the radio seperatly though.

You CAN flash the radio separately... but I believe you still need to lock the phone first and flash the firmware.img file inside a PH98IMG.zip at HBOOT.

No.. I believe you need S-OFF to flash it from recovery, or to flash it without first re-locking your phone and doing it from HBOOT.
Can we RUU back if there are issues with this build?
Im not updating until this goes final but how do we relock the device? I assume after we upgrade we can unlock again?

You appear to be correct... Even though it does say it includes new radios in the original post, the screenshot clearly shows the same radio versions that I currently have on my phone after updating the radio with con's PH98IMG.zip from the last OTA..

Yes, you would just have to go through the procedure at HTC dev again to unlock.
to relock in fast boot at a command prompt fastboot oem lock.
and that will relock it .

yep I figured they wouldn't release ever since they announced the one series of phones.
we will not see sense 4.0 because of the HTC One Series phones.
Once those are released, we have a ten fold better chance at seeing sense 4.0..Officially..
we will be getting sense 4.0 as a ROM that's stable and nice, IMO, soon.
So the phone has to be stock, not unlocked..and I can install ics that easy? Any riskz?

Just to let u guys know the screenshot is incorrect for whatever reason. I updated to the new leak and it does have new radios. I don't know how to post a screenshot but the baseband version now shows 1.22.10.0310r, 1.22.10.0308r. Also, new PRI version is 1.16_002, 2.07_002.

I completely dissagree.
as unlocked is great, as we have root.
s-off is desirebale, and this is why,
with s-off, you can flash radio's in hboot, you can't do that with s-on, you must install the OTA, RUU.
but I do agree that unlocking us is a very good thing, but s-off does have many more benefits.
with s-off we could flash the new ICS firmware, and if you didn't like it flash back to GB OTA.
withs-on, if you flash that "leak" firmware, (or any other firmware, radio,hboot) you are now stuck on them.
The main things I miss from having an s-off phone was these,
1) flashing anything and everything I wanted, I could accept OTA, flash hboots, flash radios, whatever I wanted.
this was thanks to the XTC clip and having s-off.
i miss s-off.

Thanks for clarifying this. So what you are saying is even with the MainVer "fix" (setting to low) we can't flash a GB RUU after we flash an ICS RUU?
If so then I was misinformed or interpreted my research improperly. I was under the impression that we could still do whatever we wanted even though doing so might require additional steps.
TIA
Edit: Apparently this is looking bleak. Doesn't appear as if you can downgrade the RUU. This was apparently tried unsuccessfully as discussed in the Scott's Rom thread. Really sucks and is a great reason why S-off is needed. Not that you would want to downgrade but this is MY phone dammit'.
Edit 2: Good News. Scrosler just flashed back to a GB Rom and had no issues other then the "SD Card" issue which he stated was an "easy" fix. This still doesn't allow for a radio downgrade but apparently the new radios are still compatible with the GB ROM's. LINK
Hey guys, I have been runing 2.17 ROMS for awhile now with my PRI version at 1.24.003. (I think thats an older firmware version) There is a lot of buzz about not doing that and that I should take the OTA and unlock again (im on Hboot 1.5) which is going to be a pain in the ass. Whats the worse that can happen? I haven't really been having problems so far

I updated the radio and firmware when it came out by flashing Freeza All In One Firmware, Radio, and other bits zip. Haven't had a problem. There were some issues of people flashing individual firmware bits and bricking, but Freeza's All in One worked fine.

I don't think hboot 1.5ers can do it that way though.
The most common issues with running old firmware with newer software are wakelocks and random reports/freezes. You are far better off updating your firmware one way or another.
Hmm I'm on PRI Version 1.15_003 with the latest version of MeanRom and Chad's kernel with no issues.

PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip is for those who want to run Joelz BAMF rom and are running the leaked firmware.
PH98IMGoldfirmwarepeople.zip is for the people who want to run Joelz BAMF rom but are on the old firmware, meaning they never flashed the leaked RUU.
PH98IMGSense4.zip was the kernel for the Evita ROM. Pretty sure he has it located in another spot now, though.
EDIT: If you want to flash evita, there is a phimg in that folder with the rom. You'll want to flash that one.

Yeah, you should be on the new firmware people kernel. If it hasn't caused you any problems, though, I guess it doesn't matter that much. But I would definitely flash the kernel that is in the BAMFEvitaReleases folder if you're going to run Evita.

You need to flash the ph98img sense4.0 the people not on the ics leak i.e. not you need to flash the patch. Just flash the evita Rom and sense4.0 ph98img and enjoy.

if you want to use the radio for GSM ability then you would need to use the frame work that is packaged with the update or wait the devs to update there roms.
as of now. the new radio only added GSM stuff to the already packaged radio that came with ICS leak months ago. unless you plan on using GSM its not going to do anything for ya.
but if you dont want to run it you will needed to use the zip and then use this rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830859

Releasing more ROMs? Are you referring to sense 5 ROMs based on the latest stock OTA? If not, there are plenty of great ROMs out there for the DNA. I've personally used ViperDNA (2.0.3), CM10.2, SlimBean 4.3.1, crDroid 4.3. They have all worked great, and there are plenty more to try. Thinking about making the jump to one of the 4.4 AOSP based ROMs (quite a few out now).

I am referring to the new ROMs (and ROMs, such as ViperDNA) that work with the new 3.06 firmware and are updated to work with it. I have seen several out there, but as for working with the new firmware, when I posted, there were few that were updated to work with it. I am not saying any of them are bad, or do not work, I am just looking for them to update and run on the new firmware, that is all.
I do not want to get something to try and run but not work because of firmware issues. For this reason, that is why I am running DNA Super Stock Sense5 released for the 3.06 firmware. I like it because it is unbloated stock with a few minor tweaks that really are nice (what is specifically coming to mind is the battery percentage on the notification bar, inlaid in the battery level).

Your firmware shouldn't matter, the ROM you flash is your firmware. It includes the kernel, system, and apps. Radios are not flashed when you flash a rom, but all the radios work with all the ROMs.
I have never upgraded past the 1.15 firmware and I've been running a variety of ROMs. The only things I've changed are the radio and recovery (so I can flash 4.4 ROMs). No problems aside from the known bugs since I clean flash everything (system, cache, dalvik, and data).

Thanks for clearing that up! This was my understanding as well, so I was a bit confused when with the mention of the lack of ROMs compatible with the latest OTA. I hadn't heard of issues running any ROM after accepting the latest OTA and getting s-off through rumrunner.

I'm no expert, I am just telling you what I know. When I was talking with some of the guys in the irc chat, they told me that I had to watch which ROM I got because I had the 3.06 update. Like I said, I am no expert so I have just been weary.
