radio differences..

I have an issue...
The other day when the "SPL" came out I flashed it and then put the newest "h" build.. Then on his site the day after he mentioned you must do the radio first, then the spl.. and i was like radio? He didnt mention that the night before.. and then there was a new radio. Im on the 6.01 version the newest from h... anyways so at first glance when i compared baseband versions that i did have the newest one.. all the numbers where correct... then i looked again and noticed i had..
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
and the newest one was
62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
so after i noticed that i flashed this radio and it seems this radio slowed down my phone soo much.. so i guess what im trying to say is there IS another radio that works with this and it works better.. i just dont know where i got it.
Right now everything on my phoen is incredibly slow, i get random crashes.. and also when someone calls it rings for atleast 5 seconds with the screen off and I CANNOT pickup the phone untill the screen turns on.. very frustrating when im in a place and it goes off i try to be quick but i cant.. only can be as fast as the glitch...

i'll take a guess and say that's the uk version??? mine has h on the 6.0r1 build. as long as you're not downgrading the radio with the 1.33 spl, you'll be ok to flash the other radio if it bothers you.

well to update, i went and used this new rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518851
and it runs great!! sooo we will see what happens nxt

[Q] HD2 with Android - Purple Line down screen??

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so please be patient...
I've just tried copying the FroyoStone_Sense to my memory stick and booted of it but it got stuck at jumping to kernel so I searched this forum and the Internet and replaced the zImage file and also the startup.txt, it then started flying through white text and all was well but now the screen fades and just a purple line appears...
Does anyone have any idea what this can be...
Regards
Dave.

I've done a bit more reading and the whole screen seems to fade... I've read that this is related to the the wrong radio version...
How do I update that...

go into the phone development section and download the radio that works for your device. IMPORTANT: installing the wrong radio CAN & WILL ruin your phone so be very careful and ask question first before flashing. Goodluck.
here is the radio thread for the hd2. Don't forget, usa hd2 and international hd2 are NOT the same device.

Hi,
I've managed to get it booting now into Android - I flashed the radio and installed HSPL3 and all is good... it freeses up sometimes but generally its ok.
I cant get the wireless to work - when I try to turn it on it just says Error...
Do you know a fix for this?
Regards
Dave.

Yes, you may need to get new firmware for wifi. Sorry can't give you a link from this ap but go to droid rom section and look for michyprima kernel thread, first post has link for latest wifi firmware

[Q] Should I Update Radio On T-Mobile G2?

Rooted T-Mobile G2 with S-off.
Preparing to upgrade my ROM from Stock OTA 2.15.531.3 to stock OTA 2.16.531.5 from the T-Mobile G2 Stock OTA Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314541
Should I also be updating my Radio from the HTC Vision Radio's Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809?
- If yes, what sequence should I follow? Update Radio and then ROM or vice-versa? How-to links, Dummy procedure manuals, etc. would be welcome.
Thanks.

Just popping in, someone will help you out more in depth, but it does not matter which order you do it in BUT....you may want to try the ROM on your old radio to start.
Flashing radios can be dangerous, and their performances vary depending on your location. If after flashing your new rom you have poor signal or battery life, then flash a radio using the instructions in the radio thread. But if everything is peachy keen, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I have recently flashed this same rom you want to, but came from mexdroid. The way I see it with flashing radios is if it's from T-Mo (and if you're on t-mo) then the update would include the radio anyway if the new radio came with the new update.
I flashed the radio first, but in my experience it doesn't matter. The newest official T-Mo radio is "Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19" and download the zip file. To install, rename it to PC10IMG.zip and put on root of SD card. Then hold the down volume button while turning on the phone and follow the prompt from there. This is the safest way to update the radio.
So far, in this build with this radio the time the radio is in use is far less than usual and battery life rocks.

I 'm running the pre-rooted OTA 2.15.531.3 ROM but left my radio at the 26.03.02.26_M as the phone came (with the original Froyo ROM). It works, but ever since the upgrade, my conversation partners experience the annoying echo on their end (they hear their own voice delayed).
Similar issues were reported by others but so far, nothing I tried fixed the issue.
I now think this is due to the older radio not matching some settings in the new ROM. I never had this with the Froyo ROM.
Also, when I'm using WiFi calling, the echo is not there which further points to the radio as the culprit.
The interesting thing is that whenever I'm in a noisy environment (like when in a restaurant, mall etc.), the problem is not present but in quiet environments it's always there.
So I'm also thinking about flashing the radio and hope that the problem gets fixed... I'm just nervous to do it and eventually mess up the phone. After all, other than this, everything works perfectly...
I'm not even sure which radio should I pick from that other post. Should I just go with the latest T_MOBILE OTA 2.16.531.5 radio even though my ROM version is lower? I don't necessarily want to upgrade the ROM and deal with customizing the phone again (yes, I know Titanium Backup helps, but there is still work left after that).

If upgrading from stock rooted to the new ota rooted rom its ok and best to undate the radio to since they Booth were part of the update and work well together and so u can take more advantage of the better power management .. and yes battery did improve with new ota and radio

That is exactly the way I look at it as well. I've only updated my radio once, and it was to the latest T-Mo radio. I took it one step further, and also RIL matched as detailed in another thread here on the XDA forums.

Thanks all for your help and advise. I finally found some time to do the updates last night. ROM is now at 2.16.531.5 and radio at Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19. All is working well and hopefully the annoying echo will also have disappeared.

I honestly think that flashing a new radio is not necessary unless you really have nothing else to do. maybe change do dz hboot u will require a dif radio (that diff story) but yeh. no really obvious point for u to flash. unless ur signal is really, really, bad?

Ah, so then you also had the echo issue before the update, similar to me? Echo reported by your conversation partners?
If so, then please post whether the update fixed the problem.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in replying back. I was busy with work and updating my son's G2.
I also matched the lib-ril files, and wiped the cache, dalvick cache and the efs partitions. The echo problem seems to have been fixed for now.
I compared the Android version, Baseband version, Kernel version and Build number on both my son's and my G2's against my wife's G2 (which is stock, unrooted and receives direct OTA updates from T-Mobile). All the version numbers match up perfectly.
Thanks to all for their help.

Actually after finally rooting and getting CM7 running, I was running into a problem when I would go in or out of an area that had no signal. I would essentially not be able to connect back to the network.
After upgrading to 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M (tmobile) my problem went away. Of course, ymmv, but it was a good upgrade (for me)

What he said!!! Also, it made more sense to me to have the radio at the same version as the one T-Mobile pushed OTA to all the stock G2s (having my wife's phone as a reference helped)

Big problem with mi NS..Help Please!

Hi guys! I've got a big problem with my mobile....
I had a MIUI ROM..I installed a Stock ROM to update to ICS but when I installed de Stock ROM 2.3.6....the mobile said me that I didn't have SIM card...then I installed another Stock ROM and all was good.......more or less, because sometimes the mobile lost the coverage and again the problem that I didn't have SIM card....

Your english is good enough not bad actually.
Hmm, have you tried taking out your sim and looking whether the pins that contact your sim are bent?
Good luck man!

Yes, I've tried too....Now I'm going to try with ODIN....

I would do a full wipe, format the /system partition, and install the ICS package. You are upgrading from MIUI to stock ICS, full wipe is must. Of course, back up the apps you don't want to lose data with Titanium Backup or My Backup.
Here's the link to various stock ROMs and upgrade. More guides in the stickies of this forum.

Nothing....I'm tried with ODIN and with some roms for that link and I've the same problem....
I think that is a software problem because sometimes I can to put the PIN....but I don't have coverage.....pfff...I don't know....on monday I'll call to Samsung

Ive had issues like that with a previous phone. Sometimes it would say emergency only or no sim. Then sometimes it just wouldnt get any bars. In the end, the problem was just that the sim card went bad. Maybe you can try a friends sim in your phone and see if it behaves? Good luck and Happy Holidays!

i don't mean to be a jerk but check here to make sure youre doing a full wipe properly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408308
also, check that you didnt download a cdma rom (although im pretty sure youd have much bigger problems if you flashed it)
check the md5 sums of the files you're flashing
did you wipe /efs?
if you wiped /efs you're kind of screwed. the only way to restore a lost /efs partition (directory) is to send your device in for service if I'm not mistaken.

I do the wipes good...but...what is a rom cdma??? I've got now a stock ROM..

What happen if I format de system folder....?? I don't know what more try..
Can anybody say me what I delete If I format:
/data?
/system?
/cache?
Can be my error fixed formating one of those?

up again!!!

OK!
I do not know if it will solve the problem, but you can try this :
- download Stock Rom v2.3.3 for your device and put it to sdcard.
-reboot phone into CWM - wipe all ( dalvik, data .....), and format/system, format/data, format/cache, format/boot and instal Stock rom v2.3.3
Now chek system update and install OTA update ( wifi - connection) , normally the last update ( OTA update 2.3......) should solve your problems ! Good luck !

When I go to System update it say me that my phone is updated..

Zenfone 5 Bootloader Freeze

Hey guys, i new here soh, i don't know if its allow to post thinghs that probably had another post about but here we go.
Sorry for asking this but i've searching for a solution for days and guess ? i don't found nothing clear to give me an answer.
Ok, i had my zenfone 5 for almost 2 years, than lately he start to lag and stuff, soh i decide to change de rom. I unlock the bootloader and install the CM 13.1, the first hour seems to looks good, but some minutes after the phone just freeze and reboot, than i try another roms, RR( many Builds), the problem still going =/, now i'm using the Leopard black, and guess ? Yes the freeze still going.
after read like an animal for hours and don't find any clear information about this, i went here, and my question is: First, can i use any rom that its not the stock rom whit xposed and root, and berfore that lock the bootloader ? or its real necessary ?
Second, this freeze problem have a real solution?
Third: If all that i answer is no, some advice ? because i really don't want to use the stock rom...
Thanks Guys, and sorry for my bad english...

Sorry there is no solution for screen freeze issue as zf5 have different types of motherboard. You won't be able to boot(usb sign) if you lock the bootloader and have a custom rom or stock rom with custom kernel.
As I'm also facing the same issue my advice is flash stock rom (.540 kitkat is good as battery backup is nice) and lock the bootloader.

Hey there, if you are still facing freezing issues and have install stock rom then your device's bootloader is not properly relocked. I also faced same issues but after re-lock my zf5 is working fine... I will be needing following details so as to assist you further...
1. Current android version with firmware no. like .540
2. Fastboot version, to open fastboot type
adb reboot bootloader
Few months ago I was also planning to buy a new phone like you due to freezing issue... But I relocked the bootloader and now my zf5 is working fine, so I won't recommended you to buy a new phone if you are able to use zf5 more.
As buying a phone with major technological change is highly recommended but the phones available now and zf5 do not differ majorly.
But still if you need to buy a new phone(which I don't think is necessary) reply with following details
1. Your country
2. Your budget
3. Your typical usage
