where can i find a best radio for europe?
no one can help me?
it has been said in some topics, that the best modem to be used in EU was the Aussie one. The user reporting it was from Germany.
I still haven't had the chance to install the AUS modem instead of VZW one.
have you tried the NV unlock?

Aussie is the Best one for reception so far including 3G and H+ In Munich area.
Using O2 and Tmobile. Unclear on other Carriers.
Though I have not found an easy way to get it into the new OTA JB.
We been using it with the Stock Old Non OTA JB Rom.

Just got the HD2, its unlocked and being used on AT&T network. I need to install the cab files to get the MMS working right. Do I need to change the ROM to a different one? I know its the original one. What else do you guys recommend I do/change on it? Should I do any of the updates from the HTC support site? I'm reading the stickys now. Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, best thing you can do is read all about flashing and flash a new ROM and Radio.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's the US version? If so, don't touch any of the ROM updates on the HTC site. They contain a x.x.51.x radio and it will brick the US version.

living on the edge.
hi all,
already searched but could not find a definitive answer.
basically, i have a htc wildfire a3335 (850mhz version) and accidentally flashed to an a3333 froyo (2.2.1) rom, losing the 850mhz (my carriers primary network).
obviously i need to change the radio, but have had no success so need some help.
either
1)revert radio to telstra
2)downgrade and reflash with stock 2.1 telstra rom
3)somehow force the new OTA froyo update
i currently have a generic htc rom, but i don't use the phone much, so the stock locked rom will work fine for my purposes (don't need to root or anything, just make calls).
if anyone can help and is in the local area (melbourne, australia) i will pay well for their time.
thansk in advance,
josh

If you don't have a custom recovery installed your gonna have to wait for alpharev, or search for the telstra froyo ruu on shipped-roms.com (which I don't think exists).
If you do have one like CWM or AmonRa, you can check this tread, I think that there's a link for the "flashable" telstra radio so you don't go back to a branded version...

Edit: here's the link for telstra 2.1 http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe
If you don't have a custom recovery installed you can check this tread to downgrade to telstra stock... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921752

thanks for that
i gave the noobs guide to downgrading another shot, seems to be downgrading now. its a tricky guide, not really for noobs, but my basic computer knowledge was enough to work it out. took about 45 minutes, mainly me being scared and paranoid
will post after the telstra ruu completes, then see if i can get the froyo OTA update (which i should have just been patient for in the first place )
phew! all done.
thanks very much for the downgrade guide, was a bit scary and needed a lot of concentration, but worked without a hitch.
long story short, if you want your telstra phone updated, be patient!
I have a Telstra phone that I upgraded to a stock WWE 1.37 ROM.
It works fine on the Telstra 3G network at high speed.
The frequency it operates on is dictated by the hardware, not the firmware.
However if you swap provider to say Optus, then it will switch to 2G operation as the Telstra phone hardware works at 850 Mhz (and others) while Optus netwrok runs at 900Mhz for 3G operation. Therefore the phone will drop back to the 2G frequencies and network and therefore run slower.
Go to shipped roms and select an HTC WWE rom (but not Froyo) and you will run at full speed. Likewise the custom ROMS will be fine also.

Glad to hear that you could fix it.
By the way, a lot of us had to learn android the hard way!
So welcome to the forums!

i dont think this is correct, 900mhz is optus's copy of telstra's country nextG network, called 'yesG' and is only for rural/remote areas
in most places optus etc run 3g on 2100mhz
i have a testra wildfire unlocked running virgin (optus network) 3g/hdspa fine, and i use a virgin dongle with an parabolic external antenna that only works on 2100
since unlocking ive flashed CM7 and a diff radio to get gps working, but i havnt tested to see if i lost 850 support. i will want this back though (if gone) at some stage so will be looking into this more.

I don't think flashing the radio to 3.35.20.10 makes any difference to Telstra's 850 availability.
I am fairly sure that Carnarvon only has the 850 frequency, and I am still getting a 3G indication and 2.5 Mbps download speeds (which is about normal), so I think we are safe!
Cheers

Flashing a newer version of the radio won't make you lose 850MHz support.
I'm running 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 and when i moved back to NZ i first tried to use 2degrees as my network provider, but they run on mainly 900MHz and I couldnt get reliable reception at home, but once i switched to Telecoms XT network which is a perfect frequency match for the A3335 Wildfire (the 850/1900 from Telstra) I've had no problems with reception.
If you really want I can upload the original firmware from the Telstra rom as a flashable zip.
no problems, i will wait till i can test if it still works on 850 and was also wondering if flashing the radio that came with telstra could help get bluetooth working with CM7, but is prob more an issue with CM7
Hi Everyone,
I recently flashed the Brazilian MS2 SBF (was using Australian Vodafone ROM) in an attempt to get 3G working here in Canada (Rogers; 850/1900).
When I flashed the Brazilian SBF, I was able to get a connection very briefly before getting an error that my SIM is not authorized for this network.
Does the Brazilian ROM institute some sort of SIM-lock? If so, has anyone got around it? I haven't had any problems with UK, Australia or original Chinese ROM (phone eBay'd from HK)
Is it confirmed that the MS2 can in fact properly baseband switch from 900/2100 to 850/1900?
Thank you for your time and help!

u should find ur answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940828&highlight=brazilian+sbf
I had a look at that thread earlier.. but no avail. Actually it turns out they released several Milestone 2s, and not all of them are tri-band 3G. Some are dual - this is the risk of getting these phones early off of eBay. Mine is 900/2100 3G - I need 850/1900 3G. Stuck with ****ty EDGE until either 1) I move to a new country 2) my phone carrier changes infrastructure - both not happening soon.
Thanks

Okay, so I bought the Huawei X1 phone, which is a great little phone.
But, it wasn't long before I started to tinker with it, and in the process I lost the stock Telecom rom and ended up having to flash with an Aussie version.
The problem I'm having though, is that nearly all roms I've found so far will not register properly on the network, and as far as I found out, it's because these all came from 900mhz providers and not the 850mhz like XT.
So heres what I would like somone to do f they are keen enough...
Use SuperOneClick to root their phone.
Install RootToolBox.
Flash with recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3 (you may need a file manager like ES file manager)
Power off then on holding both power button and volume up until recovery menu comes up.
Perform a nand backup of boot, system, and data and then...
Please please please upload the files somewhere for me!
Thanks.
Or if anyone has the U8180 Telecom New Zealand rom, can you please upload?
I've tried getting it from wiki.modaco.com Huawei_Firmware_U8180
But none of the links work, or I can't figure out how to get them working.
You've got the wrong forum mate...This forum section is for U8800 - X5 and what you've got is Huawei Ideos X1 - U8180.
Yeah I know, but for some reason I can't find the right forum?
Able to point me in right direction?
You owe me a beer for this

Not really mate, those roms are the reason my phone is now stuck on the 900mhz version baseband and not the 850mhz version like I need for telecom.
I'm desperate for the NZ telecom version!
Ups, sorry mate, wasn't aware that NZ is 850mhz.
Can you not change the baseband in *#*#4636#*#* menu?

You are confused, the baseband has nothing to do with the 3G frequency, you cannot change a frequency because it is in the hardware not software.
My question is: did it worked before the update? (im assuming that you are talking about 3G frequency bands)
Sent from my U8800Pro using XDA App
Oh I guess I am confused?
Yes it did work before the update.
And no I don't see an option to change anything in the menu.
How would I go about repairing this?
Maybe contact Huawei NZ? via http://huaweimobile.co.nz
I tried that yesterday.
Got some angry little asian man who wanted to know how I flashed the phone and was no help at all
Noticed before that the phone model isn't actually U8180, but rather U8180-7...
I'm guessing there may be a hardware change for NZ?
Can anybody point me to more info on basebands and whatnot?
I don't really understand it all, I was under the impression that baseband=operating frequencies?
Why don't you take it back to Telecom shop and see if they can flash it back? I doubt you'll have much luck on this forum as it's for a totally different phone that runs on only 2D and Vodafone in NZ
you'd be fine if the Huawei links weren't broken, all the links I've tried for multiple models are broken. Keep an eye on them they might come right soon.
Flashed it with U8150 firmware for a laugh, going back to shop today :S
hey there -
I've got the U8180-7 NZ Telecom version if you want - uploading it now to mediafire and will post it in a bit.
Will you return the favor ? I need to purchase a couple of these phones in NZ and have them shipped out to me. But haven't found a way to do that yet.. nobody seems to want to ship overseas or even have DHL pick on my expense from their shop..
rgds,

Update: seems I can't yet post outside links.. PM me for the link
Hey Luke, check out geekzone:

They have been working on CM7 for the telecom x1 so maybe their port will work
