I am on latest baseband version : 1.12.11.0809 and Hboot 1.19. I am not S-OFF but would be doing it very soon.
I want to downgrade to earlier baseband/radio version, is it possible?

Actually, I am not getting EVDO/3G network if I use the latest radio(1.12.11.0809) . I have to downgrade to get the EVDO network.
The same thing happened with Sprint GNEX where I used to get EVDO network only on FC12 radio and no other ones.
This is the reason I want to downgrade. I know possibilities of bricking is much higher but there should be some way.

That sounds very risky. I would rather search for downgrading rather than search later for unbricking....
Guess I was one of the lucky ones. I upgraded my radios, then I got horrible 3g and cell service. I just flashed the downgraded radios and was back in business.
So I guess the moral is YMMV.

You should look at captain throwbacks post. I tried to downgrade radios and completely hard brick the phone. Don't risk it man!
Are you guys sure about this downgrading and bricking business? I know on the EVO 4G, the original one, the first exploit to change its ESN was to use an older radio... And I must have downgraded and upgraded radios on that like 5 times...
My memory may be hazy, but I am sure I did that. The same goes for Droid Incredible. Unless EVO LTE is completely different?
I am thinking of upgrading my radio too because I am using the EVO LTE on Verizon, and the signal strength is about 10db worse than a regular VZW 3G, right next to it. But if the update makes things worse, I was wondering if I can just downgrade to the stock radio...
So again, are you guys sure about this?

First off, the Evo LTE is different then previous phones. It uses the newer Qualcomm Secure Boot 3 which does A LOT more version and signature checking. It also uses eMMC flash memory instead of NAND. (Which gives the added ability of setting individual blocks of memory as read-only via low level firmware, before the OS even boots up).
Now, that said, some ppl have bricked their Evo LTE's by DOWNGRADING firmware. The biggest problem is that it's unclear what the exact combinations are which result in a brick. Therefore anyone attempting to downgrade should be very careful and read through both firmware threads before trying it themselves.
As far as using these radio's with Verizon service, your kinda on your own. The Evo LTE is the Sprint version of the HTC One X/XL and therefore the radios are (probably) tuned for best performance on Sprint's network.
And before someone asks, NO you can not use One X/XL radios on the Evo LTE. While in theory they should work, in reality you are almost 100% guaranteed to brick.
Unfortunately the newest generation of phones is much more secure, more complicated and extremely lacking in hardware documentation, compared to older ones.

That's a very fair, detailed post Soul Shadow... Appreciate the knowledge... Guess I will not be touching the radios then...
Unless you guys can confirm or debunk that the new radios have improved your signal strength by any chance?

OK, after reading a lot and with help of all of you guys, I finally downgraded my radio from 1.12.11.0809 then I went to 1.05.11.0606 and then to 1.02.12.0427.
Though it didnt helped me getting 3G signals but downgrading is possible and this may help anyone out there to do the same.
I used the bootloader flashables and just flashed it. I am on 1.19 boot with S-OFF.
Just tried downgrading from 1.12.11.0809 (latest OTA) to 1.05.11.0606 via bootloader and got a brick. I'm on 1.19 S-OFF hboot.
Any ideas on unbricking besides JTAG?

That updated everyone's radio and hboot, and then the release ruu came and it was actually a LOWER version number and none of the people who flashed the leaked ruu could flash the release ruu.

Yeah, a leak from Verizon had a ICS Main Ver that messed everyone's main ver up so that they couldn't use the GB RUU. We got around it by changing the main ver via abd and su. What about it?

The fact that if he is right, we would be screwed. Unlike the main ver, the radios are the one portion we cannot, by any means, mess with (and as far as i know, that includes the version). So if they DO pull something like that, we would be SOL...

um couldnt we just change the mainver back to something low say 1.00.000.0 then we could ruu (phone thinks it's an update) and it would flash the radio back to how it was... so no we wouldn't be sol im pretty sure
Wouldn't it run into a Hboot older error? The Hboot was updated to 2.21 from 2.11.
If a radio problem is found, no one will be able to change unless a higher version number radio is released that fixes it. Hboot at least has a hope with the EVO 3d method of down grade.
S-On radio and hboot leak flashing is serious business imo.

Eris has a problem with 2.1 leak yes. I was victim. lol. those who waited.. got root the next week.
us who didn't weer stuck without root, on a leaked firmware that wasn't working well AT ALL
So what exactly happened afterwards with the Eris? This is making me a little nervous about updating to the new firmware.
Am I missing something? Can't we just flash an older RUU, which will flash a lower radio version. Then run the update?
I was under the impression that an ruu flashed the radios as well as everything else. Is that not the case?

You wouldn't get past the Hboot check. With the new leak, it updated your hboot. It was 2.11 now 2.21. If they left the hboot alone, then maybe, just maybe it would have allowed you to reset the mainver and reflash an older RUU, but that won't now.

Nothing like warranty abuse!
This is kind of related to development, and still really important since those flashing Leak ROMs might not read the General section and not know if I posted this there. That is why I posted this here.
If you flashed any PG86IMG firmware zip for the Virgin Mobile leaks, you might not be able to go back.
EDIT: CHADS DOWNGRADE THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641461
NOTE: This is not specific to freeza's zip. Any firmware zip for the leaks is the same.
Why?
The leak firmware has a file, dzdata_4g.hdr, which no other official firmware has.
The only similar thing other leaks have is dzdata.img which has confirmed not working since people flashing 2.17 ruu (which has this) are still showing the Virgin Mobile banner and having problems.
Downgrading will leave you with the Virgin Mobile dzdata_4g.hdr.
TL;DR/easier to digest
Leak has dzdata_4g.hdr
No official firmware RUU does
Downgrading leaves you stuck with dzdata_4g
What is bad about keeping the Firmware
If you have flashed the zip or have tried downgrading from it, you might be one of the few that have problems with:
-No 3G, just 1X
-No VPN
-More bugs
And everyone will be stuck with the "Virgin Mobile" banner.
Also you're flashing radios and firmware from an unnoficial firmware for a different device. This can cause a lot of issues.
If you aren't having problems and you flashed it, good for you.. Some do but most don't..
EDIT: We're marked as Virgin Mobile so we'll be at the bottom of the tower priority.. among other things..
Can I still flash the firmware zip minus dzdata_4g.hdr?
Try it and report back. It might brick or phone or cause random reboots with the ROM.
Is there a fix if I already flashed it?
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641461
Summary:
The point of this warning is that if you flash the leaked firmware, there is a chance of you having problems. This chance is pretty high since I'd say like 1/10 of people have no 3G and signal quality for a lot of people got poorer.
If you get these problems, there's no going back. There's no way of fixing them.
Whether it's worth taking the risk or not is up to you.
Edit: This kind of explains the situation were in right now:
HTCFlyerX said:
BTW....if anyone can confirm that they can roam on data after flashing the VM firmware please let us know! I believe data roaming may not work any longer.
And to explain why I don't believe the Sprint ICS leak....very simply....all the rcdata.imgs from our ruus contain the same exact thing....the partition (RCData) is the Radio-Cust.(om?)er?) Data partition and holds pri information and roaming data!
So quite simply....we flashed a file that was built for a different carrier and are now marked as that carrier in different areas of the network.....this WILL conflict with other things as more of us use our devices at different levels!
ADDED AFTER..... Chad has just confirmed with Qualcomm that we have messed up our devices PRI! There is no way to revert from the VIRGIN MOBILE PRI!
The ICS leak may be our fix as it could contain a updated PRI that would be accepted by our devices partition!

Go to settings, about phone, network and tell me what it says for your network operator.

So you will just not root your phone till you get s-off? Bc when the phone first came out all there was, was HTC dev unlock. Sitting with stock Rom is no fun...

I get what you're saying. But my preference is to have S-OFF. I don't have to update right now. I'm sitting on 1.15, and just waiting. Granted, there are features that I'm looking for from Jelly Bean that I want to have, which is why I want to root my phone. But, if Jelly Bean comes before we get an S-OFF method, then I may just update and let it go to whatever is there. I'd prefer to have S-OFF though. That's how I've gone with my EVO 3D, so I'm accustomed to that method.
I understand, it is "easier" but there are a lot of people on xda now thinking it us the end if the world ... All I want people to understand is that there are work arounds. To each their own

I can understand people not wanting to update due to S-on. I mean, OTA update or running RUU to update firmware will also update hboot, which someone who's been hanging in there praying 1.15 is almost cracked,..well the last thing they're gonna wanna do is update hboot.
Hell, accepting S-on and the workarounds may be the only thing to do. With the amount of hboot updates HTC is releasing, I have to imagine anyone working on S-off has probably already just thrown up their hands.
I'm S-off, but still haven't updated radio or firmware due to the fact that at this point, downgrading bricks.

The fact that HTC has updated the HBoot 3 times since the release of the phone doesn't make things difficult. If anything, it would indicate that HTC is finding holes in their HBoot, and just patching them as they update the software. There are a lot of people sitting on 1.15 right now waiting for something to happen. I'm sure there's someone working on cracking it, it's just a matter of time, and how many people are possibly working on it. I'd like to think that there is someone working on it, but it's still not being put out there that it actually is by anyone. That's what people are all up in arms about.
Not necessarily, they may be adding extra support for in-house development, adding support for extra hardware, or they could be just cleaning up the code from the last update
I'm having terrible 4g issues. i got a replacement thunderbolt a little while back and flashed eternity which im not too happy with on there. but i never flashed a new rom because i was told that the new radios on the most current hardware would supprt it. sure enough it did but the 4g doesnt work like its supposed to. just goes in and out and stuff
since i'm not too good with radios i need to know which one would be the best to flash. and why if someone doesnt mind explaining it to me. thanks!

Are you currently running the most updated 605.19 stock radios?
You ARE if you go to settings, about phone, software information, more, and the baseband version reads 1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
If these are not the numbers you see, flash these radios from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24992678
If these are the numbers you see, then it should be working properly. If not, you may have installed an older version of Eternity. Check to make sure you flashed the most updated one.
Or the 4G in your area may be simply going in and out. Try flashing another ROM to verify this.

I run Gingeritis3D and still love it. I tried running BAMF Forever 1.10 but it was too laggy, even after changing kernels. Just keep flashing and find out what you like.

I just did the LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR3
and have no data now. Im trying to determine what the best radios are for this. does anyone have ideas?
The .19 radios works best for me. Have you tried toggling data on and off or putting it into airplane mode for a minute and taking it back out.

.19? i guess i dont understand
605.19 is the name of the radios. Not the entire name but the last 5 digits of the radio name are usually what we go by.

cool man well i dug threw the thread and found the radios that other people flashed. and ran those threw the phone. still have sketchy 4G but if i keep it on cdma only and run permanent 3g its smooth, just not super fast like i wish.
does anyone know a specific LTE only radio i can flash in that they have had success with running the ICS Roms?

I'm pretty sure the LTE radios they used were from the 2.11.605.19 OTA. They may have flashed a different CDMA radio, but Idk. The leaked LTE radio causes most phones to reboot a lot.
Here's a link to the combo radios though. I suppose it never hurts to try them out... the outcome varies by phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30974567
But it is still recommended to use the 2.11.605.19 radios... which I posted a link for them above.

Cool bro, thanks alot. its funny you mentioned the autoreboot, the phone did it once to me already.
I will experiment with LTE radios and keep flashing until i find something that works good.

I've even had luck with the old 2.11.605.9 radios.
Try them if you'd like.

Just be careful flashing different radios. If you flash a bad radio, it can brick you.
Also, I was always told to never flash the same radio that is already installed. So if you flash the .9 radios and they are currently installed, don't flash them again until you flashed a different radio.

So I am a flashaholic, I admit it. And proud lol
However, I have noticed that I am no longer getting 4g/LTE connectivity. I keep getting network errors on pretty much every rom I try I have decent service in my area and my wife's Galaxy s3 is getting great service.
To get some service i have been switching to CDMA only is there something else I could do?

You could try update PRL & Profile.
Or RUU back and you still experience issues then go to Sprint to warranty it out.. Hope you get it fixed

I had the same problem until I updated radios that matched the ROM base I was using... I could nandroid back to earlier roms and have 4g, but new roms wouldn't connect reliably to 4g until I updated the radio to match. I'm S-On, so I just did the recovery flashable radio.
Thanks
Thanks folks so I am running the Super LTE Milestone 4.1 with Soff. My current Radio (Baseband is 1.12.11.0809 ) does anyone have any idea what radio I should be running with SuperLTE Milestone ?

Take every PRECAUTION when flashing radios PRI etc...., they are they easiest way to brick your phone!
It happened to me. After flashing mean 6.4 I lost LTE. The only way I could connect is by switching to CDMA only. I reflashed different roms, unrooted, updated the software, re rooted, soff again, fixed permissions, profile, prl, called sprint and did numerous resets.
In other words, I think its toast.
I'm headed to the sprint store in the morning.
