HBOOT is the stock HTC recovery. You access it by powering on the device while holding power and volume down. When you get to the white screen it will tell you your HBOOT version near the top of the screen.

Flashed went from -85 to -83, not a big deal. I just flashed to entertain me for a little
[Droid Incredible Android Development] djl236:
GPS locked didn't seem too much quicker but I'll give it a few days. Sitting in my kitchen I was on the 09.01 radio and getting a dbm of around -66 to -69, now i'm hitting around -63 to -66 with the occasional spike up to -71ish.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cheez99:
Yeah, well I'm sitting in a pretty poor reception area where my signal is usually hovering around -95 dBm and not a single radio out of the 4 that I've tried has changed this at all. Explain that? :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cheez99:
Seriously, a change in 2 dBm isn't even enough to state that this radio did anything. Simply picking my phone up and moving it to the other side of my desk will make my signal jump more than this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Does it really matter man? You don't like them don't do it. No need to be argumentative. I for one have never stayed on anyhting other then stock, I flash them to make sure they won't brink anyones phone before I upload them but thats about it. There is really no need to come to the thread with negativity.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] cheez99:
Sorry, I'll try to be more "positive" according to this forum. Hey guys this radio is totally awesome and it totally took me from 0 bars to full bars.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Jesus these radio threads are always full of hardheads.

No two phones are the same. What works for one person may or may not work for another. Some people will have an actual improvement, others won't.

just updated, instead of getting 2 bars like I always have on my desk..... I know get 3!

If you're debating on whether to do it or not..... DO IT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shorty52732:
I know everyones experience may differ but I'm in class reading all this I have no service due to the construction of the technology building but I flashed this commingle from the last recent evo radio and I now have one bar bouncing to 2 on occasion so this must be a pretty good radio just thought I'd throw a few cents in so people can make a educated decision. Works great for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cowman4000:
I've used the 11.19 and 7.28 and 9.01 and I found the 9.01 was the best out of the 3 for me and where I live. I decided to give this one a try... Sitting at my desk here at work on 9.01 I have -65 to -75 dB and after installing the 4.08 radio I have -69 to -81dB. I'll run it for a few days to get a good feel for it but it's not looking better than 9.01 at this point. I've ran all the radios for a couple weeks to get a good feel for each one. The 7.28 came in 2nd and the 11.19 came in 3rd. I don't get very good service at my house and with the 11.19 I would drop calls sitting on my couch. The 7.28 was a tad better but with the 9.01 radio I hardly ever drop calls in my house. I'll test the 4.08 for a few more days and post back with results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SethAC:
Thank you thank you thank you! I've been wanting to try a new radio since I rooted, but was always unsure how to do so. And afraid of bricking my phone. But the way you explained how to do it helped a bunch! Now I have 4.08

Even though I've only had this radio for a couple of minutes, I don't think it's going to make a huge difference. From what I've read, users who get the biggest difference usually live in an area where signal strength isn't the best? (correct me if i'm wrong, I'm only just learning radios :D)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
Well I live in a great coverage area and my download speed before flashing was at 1.5mbs and upload was .75mbs. With 04.08 I'm sitting at 2.5mbs.down and 1 mbs up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
It's not going to be a big difference at all, but a lot of users here are excited because of the fact that in general it did make an improvement, although for most it's small and not very significant.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JetBomber117:
I assumed my speeds would be the same, so I hadn't bothered running a test. Just ran one for kicks. Surprisingly enough, quite a bit higher in a low signal area I frequent.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cowman4000:
What radio were you on before?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cowman4000:
I was getting dropped calls in my house last night on 4.08. I switched back to 9.01

[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Coming from the 11.18 (2010) radio, the 04.08 (2011) radio so far seems to be a good upgrade/update.

FWIW.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mystery_tx_man:
I placed the file on the root of the sdcard. i booted into hboot and it did nothing but loaded the hboot screen.

double check that your SD card is fat32

or that it's not PBxxx.zip.zip

2 of the most commonly overlooked issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
I actually got a dead 3g spot where I normally get a very weak signal. I may try going back to 11.x -

Edit:

Nevermind.

I actually swapped from 9.x to 4.08 to compare, and after many tests on both 4.08 clearly has faster 3G speed and a stronger signal.

Going to stick with this radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Will this give me better signal?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Just flashed the bootloader one
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Could these please be added to the OP. For whatever reason the HBOOT version didn't show up in the thread search.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
What I noticed is the 4.08 gave a slightly stronger signal and a very noticeable improvement in 3G speeds (about 50% increase). I can't comment on battery for either, I would assume 4.08 may suck up a bit more juice.

I've been running 4.08 for over a week now and my battery has been strong till the end of the day, so if it has any extra drain it probably isn't anything that will bug you.

As always, you may and probably will get different results. I'm just posting my experience with hopes that it'll benefit someone else.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smtom:
I also have a week on 04.08. Slight increase in signal, GPS lock speed about the same. Call quality improved though!

Battery about the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
Just flashed this morning. Big improvement in my signal strength, before -92to-88, now its anywhere from-85-75. 3G speed has been better same with the call quality. Didn't test the gps yet but I'd imagine it will lock on quicker.

i see a lot of people are having good luck with this radio so im going to flash a radio for the first time ever since rooting in other words i still have the stock radio. Wish me luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
Good luck! The first time I flashed a radio I just sat and stared waiting for it to boot, seemed like an eternity, but it did, now I flash a new one every time they come out. Just make sure to check MD5.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
how do i do that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Grouper:
Didn't notice any difference in signal strength and as for the GPS lock speed... I really didn't pay enough attention to begin with to make any kind of judgement on that.

HOWEVER, I did start looking for ways to improve signal since it's usually around -100db where I live; in southern Florida. Highest it gets even outside is around -89db. I found the Verizon/Alltel hybrid-PRLs and thought I would give it a go. WOW, what a difference that made. Signal strength is now around -85db indoors and even goes up into the 70's outdoors now. Big increase in data speeds to... went from around 300kbps to ~1300kbps.

I'm going to call Verizon tomorrow and have them put all the phones in our plan on the hybrid PRL.

BTW, does anyone have a download link for the latest? I think it's in the 652xx range now but I couldn't find anything newer than 65189.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] EricS96521:
Just flashed. Went from -88 to -91.

How do I change it back?

Edit: Does it take time to adjust? I am seeing major jumps from -93 all the way to -82.

Now -79
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
I'm on a Mac, so I just open terminal, type "md5 /path/to/file" and it gives me the md5. I would assume the same is on Linux, but if you are on Windows I don't know, there is probably an appication out there somewhere.

EDIT: Here's one for Windows. Quoted from an above post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
Can you please post the 65189 you found? it is still newer than what I have, 65144.

65210 is the newest hybrid prl. I have it via *228 but have no idea how to access it and share it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phydo:
I went from one bar to 2-3. Great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
Make sure you update your PRL, *228 for most. If you still want to flash the old one back you can find it in another thread here in the development section.. not sure where but it's within the first 3 pages.

How do you jnwo what hybrid prl you have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fenixnr:
On my computer desk at home before I flashed the new radio I was sitting at -83dbm after flashing the radio with the phone in the same spot I'm now at -64dbm. To me thats a HUGE increase.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Yeah not gonna lie, I was skeptical about these glowing reviews but this radio is the BEST. Signal increased from 1-2 bars to 2-3 all the time. Speed test literally went from ~375kbps down/572kbps up to 1163kbps down/ 841kbps up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
First radio i flashed and my signal has gone from 0-1 bars where i live to constant 2 bars and then in other places i have 3 bars constantly. Great radio.

Yeah i acy had improvenennts with this with flash, i am at -80 now before i had -91 with 7.28 stock radio inc, i was told that the closest you get to 0 the better..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Yep lower numbers are better, bars don't mean much as they're pretty inaccurate. Best to go by the numbers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] milesnapue:
Better 3g speeds. Liking this one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Been a LONG time since I flashed the radio. Test driving this today - thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] txvstar:
Flashed earlier today and seeing measurable improvement in signal strength and slight data speed increases.

Stationary before and after testing showed a 2-6 dB improvement in signal strength. What was even more noticeable was increased signal sensitivity in rural areas that I travel to on a daily basis. Able to grab signal miles past where I consistently lost signal. I did not update prl just to maintain test apples to apples.

Not scientific by any means but good enough for me.

Currently I need to use my device on an enterprise network (peap wifi) and the only way to access wan or the internet is to use their proxy.

I need to use the proxy for http but cannot find anywhere to enter the proxy information, I have tried various apps from market but all have failed. Is there a way to access proxy settings? I'm sure the setting is there but I can't find a way to access it.

What do you guys use?

That just talks about 802.1x/peap. That already works on Android 2.2. (In fact it has worked since Android 1.0's wpa_supplicant, but they didn't expose it in the Android UI till 2.0 I think.) Here's a site with a bunch of proxy options, have you tried them already?

http://android-proxy.blogspot.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
Yes I have tried that site with no luck, below are the ones listed on that site.

TransProxy: Not found on market, found it on sourceforge but it looks just a linux binary, not an apk. Is this still usable on android?

ASProxy: $5 fee, no free version

Proxy Settings Android Application: Requires some survey and won't let me download it.

Open Desire: Requires survey I can't get around. (And looks like a ROM itself)

---------

Others I have found on market:

Proxymator: Crashes when I hit OK

http Proxy Settings: Crashes when I hit OK

GAE Proxy: Does not work (won't let me select port 80)

Any others you can suggest?

Oh and if it matters it is a Squid Web Proxy

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
It's amazing how you can spend so much time on something like this without providing a single shred of useful information. Like a logcat.

I installed transproxy to test it out. It failed, because our kernel is missing the ipt_REDIRECT module. It took me 2 minutes to install it, get a logcat and look at the error messages to find this problem.

Since all of the proxy apps just use iptables, none of them will work without this iptables module. Simple fix - ask WisTilt2 to add it to the config of the next kernel he builds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
How did you get a logcat that was fine?

All mine ended up corrupt after running transproxy...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Dunno. Maybe you got a corrupted download, it was fine for me.

I've submitted a bug report about the kernel module for you.
