How do I know I am using the right radio?
Hi everyone I am going flash my first custom rom (RCMix HD v5.9.7) tonight. I was told to use the radio that works best for me, but how do I know am I using the correct one? What will happen if I use a wrong one?
Should I flash radio before or after custom rom?
Thanks
My Desire HD:
Baseband version
12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Software number
1.75.351.2
You always can flash radio rom if you have Radio S-OFF.
For mor information : Look here
btw: I use this radio rom: "04th April 2011: Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 - Unknown source" from the thread with matching RIL and I also have RcMixHD 5.9.7 running on my DHD. Works fine.

Thanks for your reply.
I understand I can always flash a new radio, but how do I know I flashed a correct one?
I mean what would happen if I flashed a wrong one? Like some part of my phone will not work? Or it will be very slow? Or sth else?
Thanks again

Simply, put if it works without getting in the way you have the right radio. The perfect radio for you depends on many things; network, geographical location , usage patterns etc. my advice would be stick with the recommended one for your ROM and change it only if you have issues or a better radio, for your situation, is released.

There is no "right" one. Almost all of them will work with any ROM to some degree.
It's just that some work better than others (better signal, better battery life).
We haven't really come up with an objective way of judging this yet so it's best to try one or two out and see which one works the best for you. None of them "won't" work though.
For Gingerbread ROMs one of the latest two is probably the best.

Thank you very much!
Is there a particular way to know the perfect match between your radio and RIL? Or is that the same as knowing what radio works best?
As far as I know a RADIO will work with different RILs, but if you want the best performace you should take the one that is recommended.
Quote from jkoljo: "Matching radio and RIL is always a good combination when you think of signal stability and battery consumption. That is why you should flash a matching RIL when you flash a new radio"
In this thread is a list of RADIOs with matching RILs.

Both "work"... Modaco recommends ERE36B, and I found it to be a better fit as well... make sure you flash the radio after the ROM, otherwise you end up with it losing connection randomly a bunch... nobody is sure why, it just seems the flashing of the Desire ROMs breaks the radio a bit, so you have to flash after the rom.
HTC Sense (Desire ROM) ERE36B
Great thanks for the heads up
i ask because i have been using ERE27 Without any issues
but i would like to try out the ERE36B ON THE HTC Sense (Desire ROM) ERE36B
To see how it plays out , Can you point me to the correct download ERE36B FOR HTC Sense (Desire ROM) ERE36B ??
Thank you your help is appreciated

It is in Modaco's thread in development... well, when you click on his download link it takes you to his site, which has the actual download there.

Eh? I did the radio first? No problems. I've always seen it suggested radio first. Since the update to the radio has more than just the radio in it.

If you use modaco's kitchen, it flashes the radio after everything else, as well his update zips contain nothing but the radio... if you really wanted, you could open them and fastboot flash the radio with the radio image(thats what I do actually)...
Anyways, some people found that with the Desire ROMs they had to flash the radio, even if they already had the newest one, again after the Desire ROM, otherwise their signal would drop out. My first Desire flash didn't do that, 2nd time it did, 3rd time I had the radio included, 4th and 5th did not, then it did again on the 6th, just did a fastboot flash and the radio didn't do the odd full bars, then none like it turned off and reset type thing, after flashing it like it had been.

welcome to xda flash junkies! there are tons of ROM here, flash them
and take your pick ohh !! dont forget to share us your experience
your comments, moans, praises and input will help to grow this community
2.09 radio seems good from reports.
I have had great battery life with 2.07.51
It's all horses for courses.
TBH i would stay on 1.66 stock if you dont want to use customs.
mmm personal choice and preference, so do as some have suggested and try!
THread closed.
Is there a reccomended Radio for BAttery life ?
I am using 2.12.50 (I think) just wondering if the newer 2.15.50 is better ?
Anyone tried a few ?
There is no best radio, for nothing, it all depens on your location, winmo rom, android build, hardware, and god knows what else. Just try and learn.

so what is this radio about?
Hi guys, You helped me alot last time so i have came back here for some more help I still have the first NAND version on my HD2 and now it keeps loosing signal etc etc. It has been few months since the release so i think of upgrading it to a better NAND. Which one is the most stable with sense ? Also short booting time would be good. Ahh and i would like to upgrade radio aswell. I live in poland if that has anything to do with it
Thank You guys!
Hi there, your question is difficult to answer because peoples' tastes and experiences differ with the builds. What may be fine for someone may not be ideal for you. However, try Sergio's CoreDroid. That is what I use and like many others, I find it most stable and reliable out of the lot I have tried. What radio are you currently on?

Hi,
You seem to have the latest radio installed...
Before you go switching to a new ROM,make sure you backup your stuff,either with a NAND backup in CWM ,or something like TitaniumBackup app.
Then check here:

Just download CM7.2 and put Faux's latest CM7 kernel on it
The latest CM7 nightly. Nothing else. I used Faux's kernels for a while but one of them kept on rebooting me so I don't bother with them anymore. Overclocking was sucking up my battery anyway.
Does it is so simple?for example neutrino's rom includes lots or tweaks and patches. They are so unimpprtant? I would doing my radio better because at the moment it isn't the Best! Any suggest? Today i installed cleyms overclock and my atrix seems to work better

Try it. For me, I found that the performance improvements were so small that I preferred to stay up-to-date with stock CM7. My next and probably final ROM will be CM10 when it's stable.
The stock radio is almost always the one you want to stick with. I changed mine once and had to go back.

ROMs don't include radios. You can try other radios but chances are there won't be much of an improvement.
Depends what are expecting from radio. Performance is about the same but GPS lock could be faster, network speed, less battery drain...
Anyway, flashing radio is much more dangerous than rom. If something goes wrong it could brick your phone. Just charge battery, choose right radio, check MD5, don't interrupt process and should be fine.

I'm on my phone so I can't really link things, but go into General of this forum. Goto the Fruitcakes thread. Its like 7 threads down from the top. The radii zips are in there.
Download one, but it in the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery and install it. Then reboot.

I found that with, I think, v24. I also had the same issue with the stock CM7 kernel. faux v23 works well, although I still get the odd reboot.
