Do some searching on how to use fastboot if you don't want to brick your device.

Use volume buttons to choose fastboot and power to select. Then:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Marquis63:
Thanks, I finally found the problem I think, the adbwinapi.dll was in platform-tools, so I copied and pasted to tools so its in both files now. Before when I tried to run fastboot.exe, I got the error msg couldn't find adbwinapi.dll (on my knees praying I've got it right) LOL I may just flash the tmous stock Rom and go through gfreeto root again :/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] frankth3frizz:
sorry im noob, but what does this do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Updates your radio drivers. Some people report better battery life with the bottom link. This isn't something that's necessary. If people say they get faster speeds don't listen to them. All of these radios have the same speed.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ascarface23:
can u just put radio zip on sd card then update threw cw? i dotn see why it wouldnt work that way then remove the zip after
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Because they ZIP files are not flashable. They are in a format only recognized by the bootloader.

Which one is the radio from the official 2.3 update by t-mobile?

thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
26.11.04.03, I believe.

I've been using it the last few days and GPS locks super quick but drops after a bit. If I turn GPS on/off with navigation still running it will work again without issue.

I think my battery life is worse as well. Thinking I might roll back to radio from 2.2.1, 26.09.24.26.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AKfortyseven:
does radio affect GPS?

would being throttled affect GPS?

My GPS seems to only work for a few minutes before losing GPS connection and endless searching for GPS connection and never actually finding anything

Yes, radio affects GPS, no, throttling does not. Toggle GPS on and off while navigation is still running and it should come back. I only have to do that once or twice after flashing a new radio and then it's fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gutted:
flashed radio 11.04.03 and it has awesome battery life but horrible data speeds. i used to average (with 08.04.30) anywhere between 5-8mbps but now ill be luckily if i get 5mbps. just by switching radios ive gained atleast 3-4 of battery life. im going to try the stock panache radio and see how that goes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] davemw2:
Please let me know!! I was about to do the same.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AKfortyseven:
Thanks mate

That seems to have done the trick. GPS worked fine for 15 mins after i toggled GPS off and on. Then i got home so not sure if it's a long term fix yet. Will find out later
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gutted:
Just flashed the panache stock radio and ran some data speed tests at work and I'm getting 7mbps down and 2mbps up. Seems to be one of the best speeds I've gotten at work. Ill monitor battery life through out the day and check data speeds when I get home.

4G

Hey guys..

Noob here...

I was told by a Tmobile rep that they do not have "true" 4G data speeds.. he explained that HSDPA+ (H) is high end of 3G.

I was like..what???.. "so you're telling me that you guys are promoting 4G service and promoting the Mytouch 4G and at the same time you're telling me that the phone and/or the service is not 4G?"

The rep said.."well, the thing is that Tmobile didnt know what to call HSDPA+, so they named it 4G."

My question is.. Is this True?

and if so.. what is the min data speed for it to be considered 4G?

I ask because I get max about 5.9Mpbs..this is with H at full bars. Im using Panache stock Radio which I flashed last night...no difference from mytouch 4g stock radio as far as data speed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jberg22:
Technically HSDPA is "3.5"G and 4G would be HSPA+. I know the mt4g shows H even for HSDPA. I was 100% positive it also had 4G, but if that's what a T-Mobile Rep told you then I'm not sure cause they know more about it than I do. Maybe they just didn't know what they were talking about.

You can always go check under About Phone what type of service you have.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lampel:
It's true... sort of. I don't believe that any technology currently in use is actually '4G' according to the standard created by the International Telecommunication Union (although LTE might be) BUT sometime the end of last year they revised the standard to include everything our American companies are marketing as 4G. So HSPA+ is the closest to 4G tmous has and until December 2010 that would have, at best, been called 3.9G because they didn't want to mislead people... Then the phone companies marketing departments got involved an all meaning has been lost...

On a related note: read an interesting article recently that something like 40% of iphone 4 users think they have 4G service...:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Ok.. cool.. thank you guys for your input...

Now.. regarding the radios... I've noticed that using speedtest app can be misleading...for example.. I've used it at home with wifi (i have 6megs) and speedtest reads 1-3 Mbps...if I run it again it goes a little bit higher.. I have to run it a few times for it to show the correct speeds of my internet.

At frist I thought that maybe my internet was slow at that time, but when I ran the speedtest from my computer it showed the correct speeds. I also made sure I had full bars on the phone.

Is there a better data speed app I can use? Ive searched the market but they all seem to fluctuate alot..Im not talking about 1-2Mmbps difference...Im talking about it can go from 1Mpbs to 6Mpbs the second time I run it, then goes back down to like 2Mbps... It is not consistent at all. I want to make sure that if Im going to be testing the different radios, I want to make sure that I use the most accurate app..thanks for any input in advance...Basically Im looking for a radio that provides better wifi reception... so far the ones Ive tested provide poor signal... Im talking about 10-15 feet away from the router It can go down to 1 bar...but the wireless computers that are way farther are getting full signal.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lampel:
You're right about the speedtest being inconsistant and I'm not sure they are ever really accurate - I've seen my phone get almost 22 Mbps a few times but that exceeds the specs of the phone and I trust the specs more.

As far as the wifi signal my suggestion would be to try them - there aren't that many for this phone. I'm not surprised that laptops receive better signal though as some laptops have two or three antennas that are far larger and if they're located on the screens they're probably better oriented and not blocked by a hand. 10-15 feet and little signal may indicate that there is interference. Depending on the frequency cordless phones, microwaves, other routers, baby monitors, etc... can affect the performance of your wireless. Have you tried changing channels or bands on the router to see if that helps?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Well... Stock panache radio has been pretty decent battery wise and data has improved... I am right now at almost 37 hours and have 29% battery left..

37% android system

Welcome. For some reason every radio but stock gives me GPS reboots every now and then in cm7.

Interesting thing I have noticed, I live about thirty miles from the nearest t mobile tower, and have to use a regional carriers towers when at home. On tmobiles stock radio after I select viaero it says 'viaero' in the notification areas. On the panache radio or the leaked gingerbread radio it connects to viaero but the notification says tmobile.

There is no difference in connectivity that I have noticed, in fact I haven't yet seen any difference in any of the radios except that.

On a side note, it happens on every rom I have tried. Royal ginger, miui, etc.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
While I don't recommend bootloader flashing to someone who is having trouble setting up ADB... as mentioned upthread ADB is not necessary to check the md5sum. You can do it all on-device.

If you have ASTRO File Manager, you can long-press the PD15IMG.zip file, Details, and it will show you the md5 sum. Compare that to this thread and if it matches you're off to the races. There are many other ways to check md5 on-device but many of you already have ASTRO anyway :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrmako777:
am i right in assuming that flashing back to the old radio is as simple as flashing it through the bootloader? for some reason, i could swear i saw (but dont remember where) that once you flash a new radio, flashing back would give an older version error...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
What you may have misheard is: If you flash a RUU containing an older HBOOT version, over an S-ON bootloader, it aborts with an error.

Huh, cause I just flashed this radio and watched my battery go from 97 to 86 in about 10 minutes. Now I know it may take some time for the battery to adjust/settle in but if this is any indicator of what I can expect from battery life, I'll definitely be going back to stock or panache. Had signal drop issues with panache though, so I may just go back to stock.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OmarAta:
did you flashed 12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03 ?

and is your phone T-Mobile ?

If so, i'm using the same radio (I'm TMo), but you have to make sure you are on a Gingerbread ROM, you might face some problems with the BlissROM (Sense 3.5).

If you still have the problem after a full drain then a full recharge, try wiping the battery status from the Recovery after your phone is fully charged. it might help.

I would pull your SD and work on it on you computer.

Delete the radio file on it (if it is even there), re-download it, and make sure it is put in the root of the card.

After putting it back in, boot-up in hboot mode, and it should recognize the radio file and ask if you want to flash it. No need to mess with adb this way,
[myTouch 4G Android Development] antivirus1:

So i installed 12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03 a few weeks ago and since then I've notice how quickly it gets a GPS lock. but then after a few minutes on navigation it loses the GPS signal. only way to re-lock it, is to either close navigation or disable/enable the GPS. then it locks and stays locked for the rest of the time. *usually.

anyone have any ideas? or solutions? should i just go back to stock radio?

oh and I've tried it on 2 roms with same results: Royal 3.0 & Glacier AOSP 1.3.0

also I'm using Kernel: 2.6.35.13-CM7-faux123-1.0.7.CFS+
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Interesting and disturbing. I had set it up and confirmed it locked quickly, but had not left it on long. Will use it while driving to see if it stays locked.

It definitely looks like you have a bad file - did you delete and re-download it? And as suggested - check the MDS.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] YoungJ030:
Trying this now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
Interesting. I've not tried 12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03 but have tried 12.55.60.25_26.09.04.26 and see essentially the same thing (maybe worse). It locks on but after about 3 minutes loses the signal and the only way to get it back is to close navigation and restart it. But then it only lasts for another 3 minutes and happens again. I don't lose the signal with GPS Status app, but with navigation, maps or CopIlot I do. I flashed back to the stock Froyo and Navigation seems to be fixed.

Someone else noted the same thing on the CM7 nightlies thread. I'm using CM7, but he also saw it on another ROM. I think there is an issue with the later radios.

Also, disturbingly, when I flashed back, while the GPS was working I lost my phone signal and had to turn on then off airplane mode just to get it back. Happened twice, but not since. I originally flashed to the newer radio since I frequently get random disconnects even with a strong signal and it can take a while to reestablish the connection. I'm still not sure if it's a phone or network issue on that one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
GPS seems to hold OK on 12.58 radio and demonspeed sense kernel.

The most notable thing however is that the combination has resulted in the best battery life I have ever see, With admittedly light data and phone use - it only consumed 26% of the battery in 24 hours. It is my understanding that the radio is the biggest battery consumer, so it would get most of the credit.

I had used the same kernel on a different radio, and while the battery life was OK, this is outstanding - so much so that I rebooted a few times to be sure it was not flaky battery readings.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
Seem to have trouble with my data connection locking up with the latest kernel. Says I have signal, but is completely unresponsive when trying to do anything online. Anyone else have this issue and know a remedy?

Will try a direct fastboot flash of the radio image when I get home, but not holding my breath.
