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.

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!

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.

DO NOT mix ICS and GB Radios. DO NOT ask how to install these radios, I feel if you must ask how your not ready to handle the task and the demons that may occur, there are many threads on how to do these things.
If you end up goofing up and realize you have no or fluctuating 4G do the following.
1. Flash the RUU of your choice.
2.Upon installation flash nothing! reboot into HBOOT and select clear storage and let it run its course (remove sdcard if you want even though it wont wipe external card
3. Reboot phone normally verify everything is smooth
4. Optional- Flash Eng Hboot for GB or the Juopunutbear modified Hboot for ICS
5. Alternate Fix- Ive heard that you can flash stock recovery to the phone via fastboot reboot into hboot and select clear storage and will have same effect to get 4G working. Custom recoveries do not work to fix the issue via wipe menu. I only state use RUU of your choice as it gives you a clean slate and can be ruled out down the line in troubleshooting

What roms will this work with?

I would think any. Its just the radio. At least with GB ROMs.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
It game from GB, so will work there. I ran it on RezRom S4 as well but not more than a few minutes to test it out so it appears to work for GB, ICS 3.6 sense based roms, and the ICS 4.0 evita based ones as well.
Of course I cant atest to the battery life on each just yet thats going to vary from user to userand rom to rom
Would it be pretentious of me to ask for the leaked ICS radios in this form?

I know at some point in the leaks, the new firmware changed the mount points for the memory... internal and SDcard I believe.
It messes with the OS seeing all or any of the memory.
If this change is in the radios then people might have issues mixing GB and ICS ROMs and radios.
If it is in Hboot, we don't need to worry.
There are a couple versions of ICS leaked firmware, the newest is the problem child for some people. Maybe we need to have the other leaked versions as well.
Hi no,
Would you please create RUU 2.xx.xxx radio ?
Thanks

True but theres a large handful of other files in the firmware and I dont think that radio firmware will contain the memory mount points

Yes. It crushed my 4G. Whats interesting is that I have stronger signal with the older radio.

And you concluded that from what exactly? Did you try messing up with the framework and it worked for you? Thought so.
Point is, till this time, no one knows for sure where the issue is in. Some say it's the RIL others suggest the framework..etc. I for one, is keeping all the options open.

When the sms fails to be sent, it's due to trying to use the CDMA service and not the gsm as per logcat. Additionally this was a problem on stock GB radio, OTA GB radio and leaked ICS radio. So none of the available radios are capable of resolving the issue.
It's a software side problem and the only two things left to research is RIL and framework.
and just a friendly advice, don't come off like an douche, we all want the same thing
Thank you for posting these for the community.
I'm running:
Rooted 1.22.651.3

PRL: 25010
Haven't updated ROM because I figured I'd wait till JB hit and bugs got ironed out. I also never updated firmware because everyone was saying that you you can never go back after you update. So, my questions:
1. Can I update to newest firmware while staying on an older ROM?
2. If so, should I?
3. Is there any reason to stay with an older firmware (assuming there are no compatibility issues)?
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, baring any compatability issues I'm not aware of.
I'm s-on hboot 1.12 and obviously wouldn't want to upgrade my hboot. I can do radio, but I guess that's it?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
In the Android Development forum there is a thread with the firmware. You can flash the one that says "no kernel/hboot/recovery". That way it'll just update everything else. There are a bunch of files that it flashes but I can't say exactly what each is for except for the radio.
Yes I went with stock with goodies and I have no regrets

That makes me feel better since I just downloaded it and will be installing it shortly!
I have a HTC Evo 4G LTE, it is currently rooted and S-Off.
The HBOOT is 1.12.2222
The Radio is 1.12.11.0009
I am running JB 4.1.2
I have no problem with the ROM that I am using, but my phone calls get dropped all the time.
I am hoping that by upgrading the software, that this will stop.
My question what is the best combination of HBOOT & RADIO will run best with JB.
We recently got 4G in the area, and I am excited about upgrading my software,
the issue is to what.
Thanks
Software is your ROM. You need to update your firmware (radios).
I would update your firmware to the latest version. You can always downgrade if it doesn't suit your needs. I also suggest updating your profile and PRL (this must be done on a Sense ROM).

Okay, so I am completely new to all of this.
Some of my specs are currently
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: MeanBean_3.90
HTC Sense version: 4+
s-ON
My question is... I want to upgrade to JellyBean ROMs/Mods
Can I change my android version without damaging my ability to relock my phone?
I mean. Can I still return my phone to factory (unroot same software etc) if I update my Android version?
Also I tried to return my phone to stock but I am just getting TWRP set up over and over... Do I just need to flash the factory software?
Or do I use the Build number as a guide for an exe file?
Also does anyone know about the "Operation Jelly Bean" ROM by the Anonymous team?
I flashed the ROM, I love the ROM but the touch panel DOES NOT work for me.
According to the specs I should be able to use it?
Anyone else with s-ON try to use it and have issues with the touch panel?
or does anyone have any insight?
You can do whatever you want and still be able to return your phone to factory stock, although gaining S-off will make this easier, since you can use the VipeRUU tool to get you back totally stock. The tool requires you to be S-off.
You can't use Operation Jelly Bean because you are on the 3.16 software version, which includes an upgraded touch panel driver so you can only use 3.16 ROM's or AOSP ROM's with the 3.4 kernel. Operation Jelly Bean is 3.15 based. You must also use TWRP 2.4+. You can get S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver to the previous version & run whatever ROM you want.

I changed to a stock ROM the Radio ends in 0830?
Do I just need to find stock ROMs and find one that ends with 1210?
I have tried to run the distiller (read everything uninstalled HTC sync from windows Programs)
But my distiller fails.
If I run it on the Blues and Jazz ROM it fully flashes the SuperCID (120/120 Fastboot)
But it will fail at the adb flash (around 50/120)

Boot into the bootloader and list your full radio (baseband) version, not just the last 4 digits.
Also keep in mind that custom ROM's do not include firmware (radio, etc.). So flashing a ROM in and of itself will not change your firmware version. That's something you have to do separately from the ROM. The only thing that may change is your software version, depending on the ROM.

You haven't. You're on the latest OTA. Moonshine might work but at this point nobody has tried it on the latest OTA so it's anybody's guess as to whether or not it will work.

Sure. You can use any ROM based on software version 3.16 or 3.17, and any AOSP ROM with the 3.4 kernel. You'll just have to flash the ROM with Flash Image GUI or fastboot commands depending on the ROM.

Right. On Sense ROM's make sure they're at least version 3.16. For AOSP make sure the kernel is 3.4.
