I was just wondering if the ics leaks came with a new radio? I'm still on 1.06.00.1216 but I noticed that came with the 2.17 update so did a newer radio come out with the 1.13 build and did it improve anything. Thanks.

the ICS leak came with new firmware, but at this time, it's advised to NOT flash them. you can safely update to the 2.1 firmware, though

Hey Guys,
Just curious, if I flashed the MR2 stock signed to my TB.. will I still be able to receive OTA's/software updates?
Thanks
I am pretty sure if you are not rooted and have S ON it still should accept the update without any issues, but I'm not sure if a stock phone will accept or run correctly on the MR2 radio.... isn't that for GB

AS he stated, as long as your not rooted and have s-on, you will be fine.
MR2 is straight Froyo and froyo radio, when the OTA comes out it will flash a new rom & most likely a new radio. Possibly the 2.5 radio but who knows..
We dont know if the next update is froyo or GB but most likely Froyo. When GB comes out, it will also flash a new radio most likely...
Where do you get the MR2 update? And what does it fix??
Next OTA

I've heard "unofficially" that the next OTA will be to fix rebooting issues & issue GB as well. It would be nice...
I can pretty much promise you that the MR2 radio will render your phone a very expensive PDA with absolutely NO connectivity, thus making ANY OTA's an abject impossibility. The MR2 and MR2.5 radios aren't just for gingerbread. They work on the latest leak of Froyo too, but they will NOT work on 605.7 or earlier based roms or OTA's. It won't brick it, but you won't have any radio functions.
I just rooted my EVO 3D (revolutionary) and flashed my first ROM. I still have the stock radio which is 0.97.10.0530.
Should I upgrade the radios to the latest ones or is it not worth it? Have you guys seen better signal with the latest radios?

The radio is one of the pieces we receive in OTA files but receive very little to no information on what is updated/changed. Also since it is a binary image, its much more difficult to run a diff on it against a previous radio image.
I'm still on the same stock radio version as you. I haven't bothered to flash the latest version. I generally don't unless I'm having some serious type of issue with the radio or there seems to be overwhelming support for the latest version which there usually isn't.
Hope that helps.
I'm just seeing how many people are affected by this if they lost their 4G connection and their phone refuses to connect to any 4G or it drops after a minute after connecting?
Option A:
Flash stock recovery (Download Here) and do a factory reset in HBOOT.
Option B:
Now Flash any RUU, GB or ICS. LEAVE EVERYTHING STOCK!. Don't flash anything yet! Now in HBOOT, do a factory reset. Do not factory reset inside of recovery! Thank you. And do not mix hboots and radios

I was able to get my 4G back up after flashing the original RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed

yes, the old HBOOT and the New Radios don't work well together. Go back to the GB OTA Radios and it will be solved.
I'm on the latest ICS leak with the newest HBOOT and newest Radios HBOOT 2.21
For those with over heating issues and 4G not stable here is what I did to fix my phone running Newts XxX Sense 4 RC 2.1 Rom:
I flashed the ENG HBOOT, then the old firmware patch as it is required for your ICS rom to work after flashing the ENG HBOOT.
Link to where I downloaded the ENG HBOOT and Old Firmware Patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1614366
After I flashed the GB Radios from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1612555
Now my phone is averaging 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit when not charging and the rom is running so much better and I have 4G back and its stable as is WiFi and 3G. So it looks like once you have S-Off this is the solution by flashing the ENG HBOOT and the old firmware patch. The overheating issues everyone is having with the ICS Radios is fixed with downgrading the radios back to GB. Hope this helps

Then you should be fine. But if you just installed "RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00. 1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_22 1502_signed" then you're actually on the latest GB HBOOT and Radios, not the ICS leak... In which case you should also now be fine. Its when mixing HBOOT 2.10/2.11 with the latest ICS Leak Radios that you have the problem
you originally described in your first post with regards to 4G connectivity.
I have not installed HBOOT 2.21 and tried them without the old radios yet - but I don't think it would work well either.

Yes It was working with that first RUU. but then I flashed the leaked RUU and now just 3G
EDIT: But I don't get this. 4G was working this morning then I changed the radio and then back and now 4G works no where besides on the GB RUU

You must still be on HBOOT 2.11 somehow. Can you boot into the bootloader and verify the HBOOT version number?

Craziness! I suppose its not beyond the realm of possibility that 4G is having issues in your area...
Can't think of any other issue - unless its literally something that just requires a full wipe to fix. If you can make a nandroid backup, it may be worthwhile to do a wipe and see if that fixes it.

Yeah. My friend has the Charge and her 4G is up. So IDK. I just flashed the GB RUU again and 4G is up and now flashing the Leaked ICS ruu but I'm going to flash it twice
Will the GB radio work on the 2.21 HBOOT possibly?

Not sure.. As I've mentioned I haven't ever loaded the 2.21 HBOOT on my phone. All I've seen are people posting problems so I've avoided it like the plague. Given that like 90% of the people with problems on the forum I've noticed are on HBOOT 2.21, I don't know why'd you keep flashing it...

Yeah I just went through all possible combinations of HBOOT 2.10, 2.11 and all radios... but I still haven't tried HBOOT 2.21 yet. Pretty much all of the combinations I tried worked fine unless it involved the latest ICS leaked radios with any non ICS leak HBOOT, in which case it didn't work well or at all.

where'd you get the 2.21 hboot? I'm with a 4g issue as well since I'm on ics 3.x firmware on CR dev edition with 2.x gb radios on 2.11 hboot
Ok Im just trying to find out what the newest radios are. Im having some switching issues it seems. Im currently running whatever radios that are in the 3.14.605.5 RUU.

1.22.10.0421r, 1.22.10.0424r are the radios in the latest leak. (.10) If I recall correctly, no changes from what you have.
Did a quick search on this and came up empty. Background: I don't ever need to update radios on my evo 4g. I don't know if I should update the radios on my gf's 3d. She has had the phone for over a year and a half, I rooted the phone the second day she had it and I think ics was pushed out shortly after I rooted it (it was still running gingerbread from the store). I have flashed an ics rom and things seem to work okay but I was wondering if I should flash a different radio package and if so, which one should I flash? There are so many and I am not sure which one I should use. Right now the phone is running:
hardware version 0002
android 4.0.3
sense v3.6
baseband version 0.97.00.0518
build number 2.89.651.2 CL409645 release-keys
pri 1.15_003
I also attached a copy of the hboot version for reference. Basically, I have the phone running SmoothCriminal-v2.3 but wanted to change the rom to something new, like a cm10 or jb rom, but was concerned whether or not to flash new radios as some of these threads say to use the latest firmware. Any help, advice, direction, smacks over the head for the noob question is appreiciated.

Bottom line, carriers release radio updates for a reason. It can't hurt to flash them when they are released.

Stock os upgrade includes radio updates also. The safest way to update to latest radio is update to stock ics sense 3.6 and then carry on your custom ROMs.

The latest radio with ics sense 3.5 has many fixes and calls for no need of further radio update. EVO's radio is well balanced.

We dont get new radios anymore either. If ur not on the latest, then flash the last RUU and restore her backup.

Never flashed a RUU before... Is that a stockROM? Will I lose root or s-off by doing this? Is there a guide you could recommend that I could read that could help me through the process? As for restoring a backup, do you refer to her data backup?
I also wanted to put the latest recovery on her phone. Which would that be? What recovery are most of the users using? Thanks folks!
