Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!
I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.
AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine
Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

I just got back in the Android scene,would I flash the new SPL or the radio first onto my HTC Hero200? I'm just trying to protect myself and my phone before flashing these,I have the files downloaded and ready for flashing,just don't know if there is a specific order I'm supposed to flash. Any help is greatly appreciated!
What spl are you referring to??
What recovery are you using??
What files have you dl??? What radio did you dl?? What rom are you running???
Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

I finally took a plunge and upgraded from my beloved t-mobile's MDA(HTC Wizard) to Sprints Diamond(partially because i was able to get the old $30 SERO plan). Being a vivid xda user 1st thing i thought about it after opening the box - which ROM should i choose. What i didnt realize is that i also went into the CDMA land after being gsm user for over 8 years. I want to make sure i am not going to brick my new diamond so please would someone review the steps i am about to take?:
1) install hard spl from here(http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839)
2) which ROM would be compatible with CDMA version? Or it does not matter GSM or CDMA when it comes to ROMS?
3) Where (and should i) do i get a newest radio to upgrade(i assume GSM radios are not for me)
Any help will be appreciated!
Sucessfully flashed to Hard_Spl and the leaked official srpint 207xxx rom, so the question remains can i flash any ROM(like Jouicys or mightyrom) or do i have to look for CDMA only roms?
I am curious I have the Rogers Wireless version of the Nexus One in the mail.
I can't get a definitive answer on if cyanogenmod will work on it without a problem?
I sure hope this isn't like the Rogers version of the G1.
Thanks,
Not at all like the Rogers Dream. The AT&T/Rogers version (I have read), is identical to the Tmo, except offers Rogers/AT&T 3G Band, 850mhz.
Procedure is the same as written elsewhere. You can skip the step for upgrading radio, I believe the newer N1's shipped with the newest radio. I don't have the instructions, followed the CM wiki. Just remember to skip the radio update part of the instructions. I believe the radio update allows root on stock ROM. When you upgrade to CM ROM for example, it is already rooted, which is why you can bypass this step.

Yes, you can install CM and it will work without any problems... essentially, the devices are the same, except for the radio... which is why there is a new RIL library and firmware module...
CM 5.0.5+, Enom 1.7.1, MCR 1.9+, ModacoDesire A16+ are all compatible with the new N1 and have the latest RIL & Firmware module...
And yeah, the new N1 has the latest radio image, so you don't have to update/faslh the radio...

No!!! DON'T DO IT!!! You're phone will be bricked!
J/K... this question has been asked a dozen times and a search would have yielded an answer in 10 seconds for you.

I wonder how radically different the Canadian N1 is to the US N1!
The only risk/problem you will expose yourself with tinkering is if you mess up with flashing the radio firmware. I used the latest cyanogen, recovery, and bootloader all while retaining the original radio firmware. (why fix it if it aint broken?)
Okay... let me start by saying, I Love everyone here, and you all have helped mod my phone to great lengths... and my phone is working GREAT!
I am on an ALLTEL CDMA HERO200
Rooted with CM6.1
After I originally rooted my phone, and before I installed CM6.0 ...I upgraded my radio baseband from 2.42.01.04.23 to 2.42.01.04.27
and now upgraded to CM6.1 ROM / Android OS 2.2.1
I have the circular battery mod, as well as custom notification icons
and my signal is always 2 bars sometime 3 and never 4
My question is this... I just now realized that the radio I upgraded to is for SPRINT and I am on ALLTEL... like I said before the phone work fine
but I started looking for a download for the 2.42.01.04.23 radio baseband that I originally had because I was wondering if going back to 2.42.01.04.23 from 2.42.01.04.27 would give me a better signal since the 2.42.01.04.23 is for ALLTEL...
would going back to my original radio baseband make any difference is my signal strength and if so, does anyone have a download for the radio baseband version 2.42.01.04.23, as all I have is the 2.42.01.04.27 version...

i would do a little research on what you should do for your exact problem because i know when flashing the wrong radio it will brick your phone and once that happens your done for the thing wont even power on

NO! flashing a GSM (not CDMA, like sprint) radio is the only confirmed known way to brick. The OP also said his phone was working, so not bricked.
To the OP! my best advice would be to send a PM to member hexskrew, he has built alltel roms, so I assume he has whatever the newest alltel radio is, good luck to you

Thanks for the advice and pointing me to someone who may be able to assist...
and yeah I definitely dont want a GSM radio, lol
If you happen to find a version of the alltel radio, could you PM me or post it, i need it also. Im not having any luck finding one. My data has suddenly stopped working and i think if i update the radio it might fix my problem.
From what I've come up with, AFAIK the radio is just an algorithm of sorts that tells the radio (hardware) in the phone how to search for a signal, and how much power to output in order to find it... so I don't think an Alltel radio will help you much. Just experiment with them.
I have had the HTC Raider (the Korean name for the Vivid) for a while now. I have been waiting for the phone to pop up on here so I can try out some Roms.
Anyone have any idea if these roms would be compatible for the HTC Raider? I would HOPE so, but I imagine that it isn't that simple
I am already rooted by the way if that matters.
I am guessing here but I think the only difference will Probably be the radio's. If that is the case I would assume someone would be able to pull the radio from the Raider and make 2 different versions of the same rom just with different Radio's. Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom.

any HTC rom i have worked on or flashed has never included a radio in the rom flash.
I'm assuming once we have an unlocked bootloader, root, recovery and such that the modding community will be pretty decent. I imagine custom roms would work between several carriers. As long as you don't flash the wrong radio I don't see why there'd be any issues. Similar to several versions/carriers of the Evo 3D

Hence why I said. "Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom." It has been a few months since I have been on an HTC device and I forgot how easy HTC is to Flash Radio's.

I'm assuming you're not referring to official RUU's. I'm pretty certain they tend to include radios. When dev's release custom roms they do not include radios...they tend to like to keep the individual aspects separate for customization
edit: just to be clear when I say RUU i'm not referring to an ruu that someone might have used to extract a stock rom or whatever i mean a real ruu_____.exe
No I was meaning the Radio's you can Flash from the bootloader on HTC Device's. The PC10IMG.zip type. Not sure what they need to be for this device but I assume it is the same type of thing.

You should be able to use the roms with a kernel update like I used to with my HTC dream using roms from the T-mobile. I think with the S-On that part can't be written onto anyways through the custom recovery. The dual-core chip is the same one as used in Korea, but they underclocked it to 1.2Ghz. However I noticed the major difference between the vivid/Raider(CDN) are the lte bands Korea is on 850 while we are using a mixture with mostly 700.

What carrier are you using the Raider on?

That's the only real hardware difference, I think. Korea uses 850MHz LTE, while Bell uses 700/1700/2100 and Rogers/ATT uses AWS/700.

Hey I would like to flash the Deepshining v6.1 rom to my HD7S. I am wondering one thing, when I flash back to NoDo, will it affect the radio since it is not an AT&T radio? Oh and one more thing, if that doesn't bother it, then will the Deepshining rom mess it up since it is for the HD7 (Tmobile or other euro version) not the AT&T version? I just want to make sure the radio will work fine (getting 3g and all).
thanks!
P.S. if it will mess it up, is there another radio I can flash to make it work? I really want to be able to side load apps.
You should be fine, I flashed the DFT rom to my HD7s and everything is working fine

as already stated... will be fine.
each of the Custom ROMs are unbranded, so any can be used on any Schubert device with XSPL.
one can change the Radio of their device. link in my signature.
Thanks but.....
Hey thanks for all the replies but now that I have a custom rom on my HD7S everything works great except 3g. It shows the icon (an "H") but I cannot surf the web or anything. It just tells me to check my connection. There is no posted radio for att mango so I am using the EURO radio (latest with tethering). What is wrong?
Please help...

use HTC Connection Setup to fix your data.
H is 3G or 3G+, depends on the Custom ROM using and what the chef set it as.
How did you do it? Is everything still working?
Hi mtweisenbarger ,
I also have the ATT HD7S and would like to flash the DeepShinning rom as well. How is DeepShinning ROM working for you, currious to see if you are still using it.
Trying to follow all these instrunctions from different pages is quite confusing. I just wanted to find out if you had to use the GoldCard method. I think once I get that piece done the rest will be pretty simple, I just wanted to confirm that you had to use it.
Any followup and advise would be much appreciated!
Thx!
