I've been flashing roms and kernels for over a year now so I know what those are, what they do, and how to flash them. The latest version of Quantum Rom requires the DK17 modem, though, and I don't really know what that is. Where do I get the DK17 modem and do I just flash it like everything else?

A modem is the phone's baseband and (someone else correct me if I'm wrong) it controls how the phone interacts with GPS, WiMax and the CDMA network. As for how to flash it, see this thread (can't post links yet)

A modem is short for Modulator/Demodulator. It is the part of device communications that allow them to "talk".
so uhh yeah, after being on stock froyo for a bit and them coming back to cyanogenmod i couldnt help notice the way wayy better reception and all that on froyo. and so i asked a question before about what does that and you guys said drivers and whatnot which im assuming is the "radio" that you all talk about in roms. so is there by any chance some way of getting this better radio on cyanogenmod? cheers
Just flash the latest radio and you're all set. I believe the latest is 7.13.35.05.

That radio is taken from the rom with Froyo released for Vodafone devices.
You probably have already installed it when you have flashed the latest OTA with Froyo. I'm not sure, but I don't think that installing CyanogenMod overwrites the radio installed by the stock rom.

actually now that ive taken a look at my screenshot of that froyo rom ive got in my sig (the one im talking about that i was trying with the amazing wifi reception and all that) the radio is actually 7.05 and that other number in front of it is an older version too. so does that mean the older versions are better or what? i get better wifi reception and all that on an older radio? anyways im sure you see my point, so now im confused lol

7.05? Or is it 7.13.35.05? If you do lurk around more and read through the radio update threads, some people already mentioned they have better reception on older radio. I can't verify that but the latest radio do make my reception better. Or you can try flashing a few radio update and see which has the best reception.

alright that sounds good then. is there like a main list or something where they all are or do i have to search through all the threads in development to find them?
I have searched hi and low, left and right. Oh and just about the entire internet. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rip a radio/baseband from a phone (Galaxy s/Showcase/Fascinate). I am pretty experienced with adb and other command prompt tools in the sdk. I need to rip a radio to help restore a phone to stock. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
We don't know where the radio file gets flashed to. Have you looked in the Development forum? You should be able to find the DI01, DJ05, and DL09 modems in there if you need them.

Thanks for the info. I tried all of those radio/modems. My stock modem is actually 04K.DJ20. SO I am thinking there is a minor difference between the Verizon and the Cellular South Showcase radio/modems. Which means there might be a minor difference in the fascinate and the showcase. Thank you for the ideas, as I did not think about the other modems.
Didn't realize that you were on the Showcase.
Since we on GB radios shouldnt it be a ICS radio
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Since the MT4G isn't getting official ICS, there won't be an ICS radio. Radios really aren't something that can be ported between devices. We know the MT4G is soon getting a small update of some kind, so it's possible a new GB radio will be part of that package.
Maybe football, will be able to work his magic an find us an ics update, or something useful.that dude is magical

I might now how he finds them, but I digress. The dhd actual ROM update we could use, as for the radio.img, that's a different story. Our latest radio, is a dhd one, but that doesn't mean the newest one will be compatible with our phone.
Somebody who can unbrick there phone from a failed radio, they would be able to test it for us. I don't know who could do that right now.

The baseband builds in newer phones have nothing to do with OS in any case. There's no "Gingerbread radio" or "ICS radio". The newer baseband build in the OS package is just that - a newer build, not even necessarily a better one. Just an opportunity for manufacturer to update everything on the phone.
The last HTC phone that had the baseband tied to the build (requiring baseband update to use camera) was Nexus One, AFAIK.

The latest radio came from the latest MT4G OTA update from a few months ago. I know this because my friend has a stock MT4G that received that OTA and we both have the same baseband/radio version (I'm running the newest from the radio thread). Not sure what you mean about the latest radio coming from the DHD.

I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong, but if that's true then someone needs to explain why my friend's stock MT4G with the latest OTA has the exact same radio as my phone running the latest radio from the radio thread. That fact along definitely suggests the latest radio came from the MT4G.

Unless HTC decides they are going to build an ics rom for the mytouch (which thus far they have not included the glacier in their update lists) there will not be an "ics" radio. I would bet football works for HTC, he always finds their "leaks" whether or not they are even released.

MT4G was updated and received the same radio as DHD, which was also updated. It doesn't matter which one you'll take the baseband build from - most likely they share the baseband build anyway.
DHD will receive official ICS, which might come with even more updated baseband. Needed or not - pretty sure that it won't be necessary for full ICS functionality, but not 100% sure.
I would like to add something. I come from the inspire/dhd side of things. As mentioned by Jack your latest ota radio matches with our 3.6.405 build radio. I downloaded the radios and compared the md5 sums and they were different. So they are the same base just with alteration for our specific devices
Possibly bootloader signatures? Need to run a byte-comparison to see. If the change is only in the header (first 1-2kB) - then it's most likely the signature.

They might have the same version # but they are NOT interchangeable. If you don't believe flash one through hboot a see what happens
The baseband will be the same since its the same hardware however, the information embedded in the file will be different because of different carriers.
HKM: Do NOT flash any radio.img of another device on MT4Glacier. You will get hard-brick with remotely little to no chance of recovery even with jTAGing since you don't have lld image.

From the development point of view, having 2 builds that differentiate in anything, but share the same version number, is extremely unlikely.
I've byte-compared the radios. There's 1 byte difference in the header, which most likely means nothing since it's in the signature area, and a small (~several tenths of bytes) block of difference at the end, where it again, might nothing (past the actual code block). Which means, in simple words, that these radios have a very high likelihood of being completely identical. Not 100% certainty - since they're obviously not completely identical - but the differences might not be of any significance.
[edit] It also makes good sense for them to be identical. Both phones use the same Qualcomm SoC with integrated multi-band baseband, and the difference between basebands might lie in HW only - like it is between 2 different Nexus One versions. I'm tempted to flash DHD radio just for kicks. Maybe I will one day.

There is no "strongest" radio. You have to test them each individually until you find what works best for YOU in YOUR area.

They are compatible with any HTC one. It just depends on the location and area. For example I can be in Atlanta and be running the latest modem and things be great and come back home and my speeds and service be terrible on that same modem and just flash another modem and things be better.
But in a lot of cases the .24 modem seems to be the best for everyone at the moment.

Best performance was indeed on the .24. I was initially on .13.
.15 had the worse performance. I'm in Canada with Rogers.
Ran Speedtest 5 times on each version.
This is .24 improvement vs .13:
Download performance increase : 2-6 Mbps
Upload performance increase : 2-4 Mbps

Any chance to get an md5sum of the radio zips? It makes flashing a radio less of a worry.
I'm also confused why I couldnt find a thread for these before. Normally they're pretty easy to find on older devices I've owned.

Not sure if you need to be S-Off. You can always try flashing it via recovery. Look for 4A.14.3250.24_10.33.1150.01L. Radios are compatible with all HTC Ones not matter which model ID or CID as far as I know. I don't remember if I was S-Off or not when I did it but if you're not yet S-Off, use Revone. It's super easy.
