Radio replacement

Good day!
I have been using roms from xda for 2 phones now, and love them. My only issue has been reception. Is there a simple way to extract my original radio and put it into a new rom? That would solve all of my issues.
Thanks in advance.

What radio are you referring to? If you search for the band number on the forums, you might find a flashable zip that you can flash from recovery. Also, refer to the hero wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Hero_CDMA.png, you might find info there.

My Canadian carrier must use a different radio than the ones included with the new Roms. I am hoping to extract that and put it into my aosp rom.
My reception is terrible with the new rom.

Ummm flashing a new rom does not change the radio.

Like FDXRider said flashing a Rom doesn't change the Radio. Just the Kernel!

Thanks a lot guys. I guess I noticed my signal strength was lower after I flashed to the new rom. Is there anything in the new rom that could cause my signal strength to the lower than before?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Its all in how the xml's are coded for the signal bars. You would be better off checking signal strength in settings>about phone

I have not had this issue with my wifi staying greyed out. Mine is actually green right now. Did you wipe everything in recovery? are you using a kernel?

What troubleshooting have you done. Get back to us and let us know what you have tried so we can rule out certain things. My first thing would be change kernels and try any AOSP kernel out there. No recommendations needed at first, let just check to see if it makes a difference

I have tried savage Zen and the kernel tat comes with it. It. Is receiving the signal but is gray so it wont transfer data. I have never had this issue with any of his other. Builds

Well good, because it sounds like if you didn't figure it out you were going to BLOW YOUR ENTIRE PHONE UP AND SEND THE ASHES TO DECK!!!

Hmmm interesting, I'm on the latest radio's and I flashed decks earlier today and wifi wouldn't connect just like yours. just kept saying obtaining IP address. That was with the kernel that came with it and I flashed tiamat also. Any ideas??

Not to be completely obtuse but have you ruled out your router yet? And have you asked in the Evo Deck thread so that Deck could look into it?

No worries, and I tried connecting to 3 different routers. It was a no go on all 3 just kept greying out and say obtaining IP address. I'm stumped lol I sifted through the whole deck thread best I could I didn't see one mention of wifi not connecting, maybe I missed it but I better ask. Miss my wifi lol

Factory reset, wipe cache and Davik and Reflash the rom. That worked for me on the wifi issue.

Firmware
2.2.1
Baseband version
s:i400.0.6v.DL17
Build Number
SCH.I400.EC03
is that right? just wondering.
Everything is working with one minor exception but i think its something entirely different.

You didn't flash the modem xP You should have baseband: s:i400.0.6v.EC03

Correction: new rom+kernel on old radio...
Even funnier!? xP
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium

I have not had a single person say that this is going to cause a problem with anything. if it is, please speak up. random remarks on how funny it is that i am running this isn't helping.

Because it is common sense
If directions for flashing 2.2 tell you to do something, like flash the new 2.2 radio, then you should probably do it xP
Otherwise, you can't even try to complain about GPS issues, phone call issues, etc...

I agree as for common sense, i know i should have done this. and honestly though i did.
and i have the files downloaded and saved to my dropbox.
but again, my point is, i am not having a single problem.GPS is working great (used on a daily basis), phone calls are perfect, loud and clear, even the one problem i was having turned out to be the headset itself. unless someone can give me a reason that i should/have to go to the 2.2 radio (EI someone tell me something that can only be done on the 2.2 radio and not on the one i am on currently) otherwise, i see no need to do it.

From what I have gathered its a hit or miss weather or not you'll have any problems using an outdated radio having not done it personally I guess I can't talk...
But in my opinion i've seen faster data transfer and less dead-zones than before so I would recommend it but I won't tell you that you need to do it
And anyways why not have the full froyo package?
Didn't mean to offend you good sir just bein a sillypoo XD
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium

I would think you want the froyo modem. Perhaps some apps may not work right or prl updates for phone roaming may not work right?
You may not have problems now, but could down the road. Just my 2 cents.

WiFi Signal on G-Lite...

I've noticed my WiFi signal is quite a bit weaker is comparison to say RCMIX 4.0 or Affinity.
Is there any way to transplant the great WiFi performance to G-Lite?

No opinions?

Well I understood that wifi had more to do with the radio as opposed to the rom.

Hmm. I always thought the opposite. I thought wifi wasnt tied to the radio, that the radio was just for GSM signal...

So you've had the same WiFi performance between roms? Even Sense based?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

Well the radio and rom are two separate things, you must flash them independently. Certain radios work better for some on certain roms, but also it depends on the region as well, it really is the epitome of YMMV! I personally stick to radios from official updates, besides if it ain't broke don't fix it. In your case it was but now it's fine so just be careful. Flashing radios is the number one phone bricker next to one click root solutions.

I'd like to know which radio you ended up using as well. I'm also using G-Lite and experiencing weak wifi signal, at least shown on the wifi indicator.

Not sure who your asking but I'm using the newest stock from the last.official ota

Will try that, thanks

Are you sure that it's not just the ROM showing that it has lower signal than it actually does? I'm using g-lite 2.0.1 and i have no problems with wifi at all and this ROM is amazing, i think you should flash the latest radio for the htc vision as that's the one that is recommended by the developer of g-lite. Here's a link to the list of radios for your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809 , the one i'm using (which is also the recommended one) is the one at the top of the downloads list - Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19.

Updated OTA to latest version but...

So I recently unrooted my phone to have Sprint connect it to their services. I updated to the newest software version 2.3.5 but, nothing changed as far as the sense goes. It's still the same old sense since like 2.2. And what I mean it doesn't have the theme changer or shortcuts in the drop down menu. Am I missing something?
I remember unrooting my old EVO to see what the OTA updates were like a while back and seeing the new features. But I remember having to install that update via Sync. Problems is I looked on HTC's website and all over googleville and couldn't find it anywhere. Can somebody please help me with this? And possibly refresh my memory on how to do it via Sync. Thanks in advance.

HTC never updated us to sense 2. Kinda sucks really...HTC even updated phones with less ram and slower processors (for example htc wildfire) but left us with the OG EVO on the old original Sense.
Kinda bullsh*t if you ask me but whatever at this point I get to upgrade in Novemeber, though I would still like to see sense 2 before then.

It wasn't the full sense 2 but it has some of the features like the new lock screen, the drop down menu shortcuts to WiFi networks and such. And the themes changer

Those features have never existed on the stock ROM for the EVO 4G. You must've been running a custom ROM.

Those features came on my evo. I rooted and went to aosp, but they are on my stock ROM

You had quick settings in the Notification pulldown and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen stock on your EVO? I don't think so . . .

I am running stock software and I can assure you it does not have quick settings and the unlock screen is the same as my old Hero had so there is no difference. You can download the app called quick setting which will give you the settings in the pull down menu but this is not from HTC.

Oh well maybe I was mistaken but those features are on the stock EVO shift. I don't think I can root since I hot Tue 2.3.5 update

Oh so what would I use to root it? Unrevoked 3 or Forever or another method. Because for some reason my computer can't perform ADB correctly so a manual root is out of the question. Is there a little bit of info for rooting from 2.3.5 somewhere I could reference?

You have to use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader on the 2.3.5 version, which allows you to get root. The only other exploit is TacoRoot, which allows you to downgrade to a version rootable with unrEVOked or Revolutionary (you can likewise downgrade after unlocking with HTCDev).
