I have found a solution to the poor signal people are getting when they install the viper xl rom. Most have said to use Beastmode kernel 3.5. There is a better way. I used a newer t-MOBILE radio. It is still 5.08 but the baseband is different. I installed it from the forums and now I get LTE all the time unless I am in a call. It really works. You can find it in the forums if you search radios. Just thought I would post this.
Umm I believe you're in the wrong forum

Ok so I have seen that when you download a Rom, sometimes they ask that you flash the latest radio and or kernel. So how do you find out what the right one is for the Rom you are tryin to flash. And on top of that I have no idea what a radio image or a kernel is or does so if any one knows a good link to school me on that I'm sure that would help. Thanks

For radios, USUALLY the latest released version is the best. There are some situations where an older version may actually work better for your carrier (telco). You can find a list for GSM HTC Hero radios here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?307-Gsm-Hero-Radio-Roms-Download-Links It is VERY, VERY important to flash the correct radio for your device, otherwise you will probably brick it.
For kernels, the ROM dev usually (99.9% of the time) includes the kernel so you don't have to worry about it. Some users though want different performance out of their devices and MAY flash another kernel.
This sticky provides good advice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797740. It is from the XDA GSM Hero dev section.
Is a hero the same as a g2? I have a t-mobile us g2. So would hero radios work for it? And would I flash the radio or Rom first?

Oh and if you do flash the wrong radio can you not fix it be recovering a backup

I might be wrong but I think your phone is like the HTC Desire Z. If it is, this is the wrong section of XDA for you.

Don't think so. Just try not to flash the wrong one.
what saj222 said
ok, seriously - what he said is correct, but I too am uncertain if this is the correct place for you.
I know the xda title is HTC G2/GSM hero. but I think the GSM hero and G2 actually use different radios? It certainly could be true anyway and I would not take a chance by flashing a G2 radio or any other radio without confirming with a real bonified G2 user.
edit: we're 99% hero users here.

The G2 Touch (this section of XDA) was/is offered by T-Mobile UK. Also known as the GSM HTC Hero - offered by numerous other carriers.
To complicate things further, there is also a CDMA HTC Hero. Different animal altogether.
Just be careful!
Flashed the radio.... nothing bad happens... but I just flashed the minui rom..... bad ARE!

Hey guys just switched to Verizon from att. On my inspire I could run any radio I want on any ROM. I've done some searching and research on this but still don't have a definitive answer. What do I need to watch out for when flashing a radio? Can an incompatible radio to the ROM your running cause damage or just signal problems? And is it like the evo3d do u flash radios and 4g radios separate or are they one package? I'm a pretty experienced flasher i've rooted and rom'd quite a few phones but this leaves me a little confused. Thanks for the help.

Flash a Froyo radio for a Froyo ROM and vice versa for Gingerbread.
If you flash it incorrectly, you won't have service.

ok thanks, it seems I made things more complicated than the needed to be lol. now is the 4g radio included when you flash a radio or is it kinda like the evo3d and you can mix and match, I realise the bolt is lte and evo is wimax but it it the same concept?

Pretty much all you're answers can be found in my thread stickied at the top of Q&A, as well as the links to the radios.
Trying to get tether to work on the AT&T version ONE X+.
Couple of options which failed.
Unlocked bootloader.
Rooted, and tried to install the Telus version of the One X+ using RUU.
And tried to changed the CID in the rom.zip within the RUU.
didn't work.
Any solutions to this?
I want to keep it stock ROM, but rooted and have tethering working...
Thanks.
You need to use sqleditor to edit a telephony db and change the value to make it work on stock.
If you search the development thread there are instructions posted.

Thanks, found it by searching google.

Can vouch this works perfectly on my AT&T HOX+ with AT&T unlimited LTE plan. Rooted and manually made the single update to telephony.db.

I tried this fix but my Nexus 7 doesn't seem to be able to connect to my HOX+ wifi. It just keeps saying "Obtaining IP address..." Any ideas?
OK I have been all over these forums and the T-Mobile forums and I am not 100% crystal clear. I know that you can use the T-Mobile ROMs but how come you need special radios if you use the stock T-Mobile ROM. I had tried to install the actual Tmobile modem but it slowed down my phone so much that it wouldn't work properly. So I guess my question is how come if both unit are the same why cant they use the exact modems and have the exact effects. From what I understand the modems we use have to be kinda tweaked. I am sorry if this seems to be an ignorant question but this is my first device since the HTC Raphael that I have used a phone that was not branded for my carrier..........

OK, so I have screwed things up a bit. I just wanna go back home. I have CWM Touch installed and the bootloader is unlocked. I flashed a ROM that obviously was not for the TMO version of the one. Now I have no 4G and all sorts of other problems.
Why did u not make a backup it's first rule before flashing .
You may have to wait for someone to dump the system ,wait for a stock.img
To flash in hboot .
As far as I know there haven't been any T-Mobile specific roms made yet
If you head over to the Android development section in the forum you will see that there are no roms yet that is
A good indication

Yea, I am aware that I broke the cardinal rule. Was very tired, distracted, and excited all at once. Running Android Revolution now with no issues

Are you guys having problems updating Facebook? Every time I try to update Facebook app in revolution / arhd / trickdroid it will hang. I see the arrows light up for H on the data then goes grey swaps to 3g and back to H really quickly and then goes grey completely meanwhile my Facebook just says updating. No Internet connection not available just updating. It's super frustrating and it happens on blinkfeed too. I had to go back to the tmobile rom that says 4g regardless of umts or hsdpa and then Facebook has no problems pulling updates.
It's super weird. And it's driving me nuts I want to run a custom rom with kernel! Well at least now I can run a custom kernel Lols
