better radio on cyanogenmod?

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.

[Q] MT4G Radios

Hey, i was just wondering what the most up to date, or best custom radio is to use on the mytouch4g and where i could find it! Thanks a bunch!
MT4G
CM7 RC4

I didn't think there were custom radios, just newer one's released by tmobile? Though I'd like to know what the latest release is as well.

The latest radio for the MT4G was part of the most recent OTA update (the one that upgraded Android to 2.2.1). The version number is 26.03.02.26_M.

This is no longer valid. 26.08.04.30 is the newest radio.

[Q] Stock Gingerbread rom (not leaked version), rooted but otherwise untouched?

Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...
Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.
And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.
I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.
Thanks

It's on the first page of the Dev section. Don't know how you missed it.

Aha! Found it.
Sorry. I read through that thread a while ago and saw that some were having issues with mail, so I moved on. Apparently that issue had been resolved since I first read that thread. My mistake.
Thanks for the help.
Now to figure out how to do this without bricking my phone..
Research time!

No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.
EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.

Unlocked MyTouch 4G actually.
Main reason I'm sticking with stock is that I actually like the genius button feature and swype keyboard.

Rooted version installed today. Very easy, runs great. No mail app though so I switched to maildroid.

Thats not the official version that is being sent out OTA and via sdcard (at some retail locations) the official one:
Build-2.09.531.1 CL54593 release-keys
Software-2.09.531.1
Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M
has yet to be uploaded, correct me if I am wrong. But telling people that is the official version being released by tmo is incorrect.

Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....
1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.
2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.
If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.
*EDIT*
Here's what I got now:
Android version 2.3.4
Build number 2.19.531.1 CL95282 release-keys
Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html
So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?
Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?
Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.

You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.

LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....
This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.
Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.
When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.
I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.

lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.

I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.
As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....
So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

Anything else I should know before I start that isn't in the thread?
Any help is appreciated as I can't afford to brick my phone right now, and I wouldn't be doing this except my GPS hasn't worked since I flashed the ROM, and I need it.

That's exactly how I did it; GPS is working fine now. Radio flash was very easy. S=off (without true radio s=off) is all you need. If you can figure out how to get radio s=off using this rom, lmk...

First link is football's leak, it is not rooted. I think you meant another thread.
2nd thread are just radios, they do not contains any roms. they're just radios stripped from those leaks and ruus.

Maybe I goofed on the first link - I'll correct it later, it's too hard to do on my phone.. Fat fingers...
As for the radios, I know. I don't want to flash the ROM again, just the radio to hopefully remedy my lack of GPS. Just wanted to make sure that that particular radio was compatible with the rooted stock Gingerbread ROM I flashed.

Are Radios compatible with any firmware *noob status*

1. Is a radio that is from a GB firmware compatible with phone that is running a Froyo firmware?
2. If not then would i have to upgrade to the rooted 2.3.4 and then be able to change the radio?
3. Also does a nand backup made on one radio and firmware work on a different radio and firmware or would it just revert back

I've never heard of radios being incompatible with ROMs on this device.
The radio is not backed up or restored by a nandroid.

1. Gingerbread radios are for Gingerbread, and Froyo radios are for Froyo
2. Yes, upgrade to 2.3.4 then change the radio ONLY IF YOU NEED TO
3. Nandroid doesn't make a backup since wiping everything does not change the radio.

That is just what I suppose. I wouldn't take any risks flashing GB radio on Froyo...could brick it. So just stick to same firmware, same radio.

thanks for the info so by flashing the 2.3.4 rooted rom will i be on the gingerbread firmware?

Yes. You will be stock GB, except rooted.

You may be right, as I know other devices have this issue. The thunderbolt, for instance has at least one thread dedicated to the topic. However, I don't recall anyone EVER reporting a brick related to radio version on the Glacier.
Can anyone report that they have?

So I'm on the endymion v 3.5 Rom and says firmware version 1.05.401.4 does that mean its a group firmware? I'm also on the newest GB radio

Its your phone do what you want. If you dont have good service then yes try different radios. If your service is fine then just stick with the radio you got. Whats your reason for posting such a random question? lol

Actually.when I upgraded to the 4.0.4
I cannot press the keyboard "O"
I don't it is related to the radio verison

You have the latest version of the radio.

I'm reasonably sure that it has nothing to do with the radio version, I seem to recall reading the same thing somewhere else, so it isn't just you.
