Hi.
I see that some custom roms include radie versions 17.xx and 16.xx. Does the Radio make a difference? And what king of difference.
Is the radio only for reception and such? I have TELIA 3g (Sweden).
And if I use a custom rom and whant to install update of the same rom builder do i lose everything installed on the phone?
Same question as OP
Hi, I've been trying to search for answers to the same question of this OP. What are the differences between radio 16.x and radio 17.x? I know in most cases we are advised to stick with the 16.x radio, but are there places/advantages to radio 17.x?
been wondering the same thing over here
Well, one thing that's different, which many have pointed out before, is that radio 17.5.xx won't work for my phone (AT&T - unbranded). I'm guessing it has to do with the hardware they are using... The unbranded phones get 850/900/2100 MHz. and AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz, So I'm guessing the 17.5 radio updates unbranded and 16.5 works for AT&T. As to what differences the updates do? We may never know,,, The truth is out there! But Mulder and Scully are retired

Hi every one
i need to know what radio rom i should use.
i m using Hermes 100 (JASJAM). when i upgraded the radio rom, i found problem in the phone getting signals. my phone just work for 8 hours max after that it began to gave dummy signals. when i switch to other network sim it did the same thing. worked 8 hour and sleep. from this moment i change many windows rom and radio rom but no success.
but my ph was working fine. no brick no freeze. after much experiment i came to know that my Sim is some old version so all new radio roms doesnt support old ones.
i am using 1.35.00.11 version radio rom. thank God now its working ok. but still got some issues i guess.
so All i wanna know what version of radio rom is best suited for my location (Pakistan) and which can support old version sim.
thanks to all
Honestly, I'd stick with the radio it came with unless you have problems as that's (presumably) already rated as fully compatible with the carrier's SIMs and their network.
If anyone, not just from your country but from your own province/locale can give you an idea of a better one for your specific location and network provider (carrier), I'd leave it.
yes you are right but can you tell me which is the best and most stable radio rom. i am talking about from previous version. like 1.41.... or 1.38.... or 1.27 or 1.07 etc
This information within the wiki pages may be of use
From what I heard, getting the right radio is trial and error.
Was wondering if anyone knew which gave best reception?
My phone currently has 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 and my reception is just OKAYish.
Also, you need to root to install Radios, correct?
Can we use Telus 850/1900 MHz Radio?
With our Heros?
I would like to "gain" 3G in US
Try using the latest one, 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22.

this one arouses a few questions for me:
which is the latest, 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22 or 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22? the IU one is the last to be available as update.zip, can i download the IH version somewhere in update.zip format?
or are we talking about cdma radio versions here?
I think the question here is do you have a gsm hero or a cdma hero, because I don't think you can flash a gsm radio onto a cdma hero. but seeing as you have the EU radio on it I'm going to assume a gsm hero.
I have the 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22, and it seems to serve me well, but then again i'm in england, you're best option is to flash one of them, test it for a day, flash another and test until you've tested them all, and then pick from whichever gave you the best service. Its a long task, but its the thorough option.

Well, maybe I should been more clear. The IH and IU are the same rom. It can also present itself as IW. I'm not sure what the difference means, I presume it's based on the hardware (which bands/frequencies and such that is used in your particular hardware).
If you look inside the radio image you can find all the strings mentioned.
63.18.55.06IW
63.18.55.06IH
63.18.55.06IU
So I guess the 63.18.55.06I is the version (combined with the numbers after it) and the W/H/U is depending on your particular phones hardware.
The same thing is true for the other versions aswell (at least on my phone).
Short version: I use IU version (as it's named here on xda, maybe it should just be named 'I'), it presents itself as IH on my Nordic Hero.
thx for the clarification, packetlss.
I'm new to Hero, I looked through the wikis but I'm not sure how to determine which radio I need? My current radio is 63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08.20. I live in the middle of the city in Austin, TX and I also have a house in Houston, TX. For Windows Mobile the radio I use is 1.14.25.24. Anyone know which radio would work for me, or how I can figure it out without having to flash all of them?
yeah same doubt i live in Puerto Rico, please help!
The biggest thing you need to know is have you got a CDMA hero or a gsm hero?
Once you know that you go to the thread for that specific devices radio and just pick one that is newer than yours.
For the gsm hero the latest radio is very good (in my opinion)
just use the newest one, radios are not specific for an area or something. they are only specific for a phone model, e.g. hero or cdma hero or nexus or iphone or...
Is there any regional differencies ? As I can see EU it may mean Europe or we can just take any radio and it will work everywhere ?

No the letters don't matter at all, they are believed to be just HTC internal coding.
So since I have the GSM Hero I should go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563757 - and get the newest one from the bottom of the list which is "63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26"?
Make sure you know what recovery is and how to flash a radio before you move on.
You can find them by reading through posts inside "developement" form.
G'day,
I scored a Telstra HD2 off eBay. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Radio firmware I could flash to update the radio. Can I use a non-Telstra radio on my Telstra HD2, or will this brick it for sure? If I can flash a updated radio, will it enable any unsupported bands? For example, a Telstra 3G can't talk on 900Mhz 3G, but a normal HD2 can.
The reason I am considering upgrading the radio is because I'm thinking of using Windows Phone 7 on it.
Over to you, XDA Community!
Any radio (hspl required to flash radios)
Only radios with a x.xx.50 are suitable for use with magldr (go flash 2.15.50 then forget about it)
No, changing radios will never change the supported bands.
Followed your instructions, worked a treat.
+1 Thanks.
Hi,
i own a HTC One S (16GB) device, am running a custom rom (MaximusHD 10.0.1), Android 4.2.2, Htc Sense 5.0, rooted, TWRP 2.7 recovery, HBoot 2.16, Radio 1.20.50.05.16, Carrier is Tmobile, supercid 11111111 and bootloader unlocked. i recently installed maximusHD 10.0.0 everything works fine expect for the network connectivity, i can only make use of 2G (edge) signal but i can't switch to 3G only. Whenever i switch to 3G only my networks goes off but when i switch back to 2G it works perfectly please i would be glad if you guys can help me out
You have the official Tmo version or an international version of the phone? That rom is for the international version and might not be set up to properly utlilize the bands of Tmo service 100 is the first thing that comes to mind.
Confirmed: International version of One S does not utlilize any of the bands for T-Mobile past 2G / Edge.
From HTC's website:
HSPA/WCDMA:2
Europe/Asia: 850/900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
T-Mobile HSPA/WCDMA uses a combo of the 1900 Mhz frequency and a combo 1700/2100 AWS band.
I don't know if I get you correctly but if this is what you mean my device displays either GSM OR WCDMA so that mean I have the official tmobile version
I'm confused...you don't know if your phone came from T-Mobile or not?
My HTC one s is from T-Mobile, pls can help with the situation would really appreciate it
Ok. When you installed the rom, did you also install another radio or firmware package as well? As in the one that was listed in the OP of the rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392 ? If so, that is probably why. The rom and radio are for the international version of your phone, not the one from T-Mobile. Now, obviously the phone are so similar that the software works on both versions. The only difference is the data bands that are supported for 3g/4g and the radios that interface with those bands. So, if you have never changed your radio like it was suggested in the thread for that rom - change your rom to one based off of T-Mobile software. If you have changed the radio, then flash one for the T-mobile version, and you should be fine. If it doesn't work after that, you'll just want to make sure both the rom and radio are for the T-Mobile version.
Thanks man, I think I messed up my device and a newbies to this time installation things. I actually followed the instructions given in the maximushd Rom, I flash the firmware packages with my tmobile version device. Pls what can I do to fix this I need your help

Are you S-Off?
If so: http://d-h.st/7V7 - It's a large file with the Aroma Installer to let you pick which radio you want. I believe you'd be looking for the T-Mous 1.13 one. If you aren't S-Off - Don't bother with that.
S-On?
If so, you need to re-lock the bootloader and run the RUU (Rom Update Utility) to get everything back on track, then you can re-unlock the bootloader and redo the recovery and rom stuff. http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe
