Tried the 3rd radio and my GPS took forever to lock and it kept losing my location for weather and battery life was awful. Installed the 4th radio and my battery life is much better. GPS lock is now instantaneous and no location loss for weather
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gd6noob:
i had to flash the stock radio, and now it works fine... finally no more data disconnects.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
My wife gets data disconnects with stock Rom and stock radio. Haha.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dpshptl:
I can't open the links to any on the radios. I have cleared all the data in IE.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Try temporarily disabling your anti-virus software. Avast blocked those links for me, and other people said other software blocked them as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tazzaras:
So is there a general consensus yet on whether moving from stock radio helps at all or is all dependent on your location to notice anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dpshptl:
I went back to stock after playing with 3 and 4. I have mixed reviews. One was better in some areas but not in others. My stock is not that great as it moves too much between 4G and E but it seems better than the other ones. I am pissed though cuz when I got this phone in DEC I used to get at least 7MB down and since a month i barley get 2MB no matter where I'm at.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Rootuser3.0:
WTH I followed instructions to the tee and bootloader doesnt recognize the file. I adb and used astro either way it wont see the file
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mr mystery:
Did you verify the md5sum?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TCDroid:
I cleared everything and turned off avg and i still get opps can't connect:(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gd6noob:
i was on the 4th (Panache radio) and my data kept getting disconnecting.

finally went back to the stock radio and it was better, no disconnect... but i heard my provider was doing some network upgrades, so now im not sure if its the radio problem or if they are really doing upgrades.. lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Are you sure you didn't name the file pd15img.zip.zip? Does windows show you extensions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shaolinz:
Question!

Is there any other way to flash the radio file besides from adb because i cant get adb to work
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dpshptl:
Just put the file on the root dir of the sd card and boot into recovery. Once you get into recovery it will see the file and ask you if you want to do the update. Say yes and thats it. Just remember to remove that file from the sd when you are done, otherwise it will want to do the update each time you go into recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Don't flash without verifying the MD5 first! Move the file manually if you want, but always check the MD5 before flashing radios. This has been repeated over and over.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shaolinz:
how do i check the md5?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Use this app if you don't want to use ADB.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AndrewAD3:
Thanks for this. The radio I downloaded had the wrong md5.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Glad you avoided bricking your phone!

.30 faster for me

I found that i got faster speeds with the .30 gingerbread radio even though im running the stock rom. Got up to 9 mbs which i pretty good in comparison to the stock .26 rom only maxing out at 3 mbs (in my area). I'm just waiting for the update to gingerbread bc i like the stock feel even though nothings really stock about it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tampaboy1984:
Which Radio version is the best??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vr6navy:
So I am not really a noob at this stuff, but I just installed the 26.09.04.26 radio and I am getting crazy results from mobilespeedtest.com, but normal results from the speedtest.net app. I am just wondering if that site like stores the files in cache and it makes it think that it is downloading faster, or is it actually that fast? I don't think that it is that fast because I think we top out at like 14Mbps or so.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xiton:
Which is a newer radio, 26.09.04.26 or 26.09.04.26_M?

Or are they both exactly the same?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kcvikander:
Was using 26.09.04.26 with Virtuous Fusion and it worked great, way better than stock. Got reception in my basement when it was spotty at best. Just flashed unity, hoping it gets even better.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
Which radio would be best for cm7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Here's the thing man... there really isn't one.

Everyone will tell you something different. For example... I like the third radio best. But another dude gets the same result I do, on the stock radio. I'd say start with the most recent, and work your way back until you find your phone's sweet spot!

Sent from my RoyalGinger HTC Glacier that you can't see because it's faster than the speed of light.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
alright thanks man i think ill just stick with stock then cause im getting pretty good speeds with it i just wanted to see if there was a radio i should have for cm7.

thanks again:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
LOL that blows my mind too cuz i live not far from SLO, travel through SLO often and my family lives just north of SLO. SUPPOSEDLY tmo is upgrading to the 42meg here so we will see if the increase helps my speeds at all, but no matter where i go in the central coast the best i have ever seen is 1.28mb down and that has just been in the last couple weeks and for only a short period of time. none of the providers here have great service anyways cuz they consider this area rural. Cuz you know 270k in SLO County and 423K in Santa Barbara County is rural lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Lol. Don't know if speeds were higher or maybe just the ping, but I've never ever seen my old mytouch 3g that fast.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d0gan:
Please let us know how the radio update performs under Virtuous Unity. I'm on stock and still on the fence about flashing to the new radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joseph230:
I switched from stock radio to the latest "26.09.04.26" and it seems that my GPS fix improved. Also I used speed test and seems 2,3 times faster 4G connection !!! :)

My battery is same as before.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Evil-Monkey:
totally.

I wanna know too. Thanks.

Edit: I went from stock to GB .26 and I reverted back to stock in two hours. I radio speed test over and over and i felt a little more confident with my good ol stock radio. On stock I was running an Avarage of

95ms on ping/.06 download/.08 upload and on GB radio .26 i was at 2000ms on ping/ . 05 download/ .07 upload. Mind you, these are my averages. These numbers popped up the most. Also, I'm an throttled and live in the L.A. area so I'm always on 4g and normally always on full bars on both radios. My maps seemed about the same just the navigation on non stock radio took longer to process(for initial load of route). The browser were about the same. Phone was on sync most of the time(not an issue on stock) if that issue even has anything to do with each other. Maybe I'm wrong on this but "the ms" means milliseconds right? And then the less milliseconds on your ping the better?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
Just updated to radio 26.09.04.26 on CM7 nightly #124. Ill give it a week or so.

Just to save the searching for those who dont want to go through it. I installed ManD5 from the market. Downloaded the entire zip and put it on the root of my sdcard. After checking that the MD5 matched, I powered off and booted into fastboot. It automatically saw the zip file and asked me if I wanted to update it. I selected YES and it was a matter of it unzipping and installing it, then asking you to reboot. Pretty simple, but don't get too cocky and just go at it without checking the MD5 sum.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
battery life was going way too fast for me!! down to 84% in just 3 hours of very little use. Signal quality was great though! Just installed the 3rd radio....Ill give this one a couple of days and keep track.

900Mhz 3G

Sorry to intrude like this, I have a friend who just bought a MT4G and, though it says on gsmarena that the phone works HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, for some reason he just can't get the 900 band to work on 3G, am I wrong to assume that this is actually a radio issue and that the hardware should be able to work the 3G on that band, or is gsmarena just wrong about the specs? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
battery life going fast again and speeds are slower. Switching back to stock radio.

so here's the run down...

7/10- stock MT4G radio with CM7 nightly 124

7/11-4th radio with CM7 nightly 124

7/14(2:29am)-3rd radio with CM7 nightly 124

7/14(2:46am)stock MT4G radio with CM7 nightly 124

the radio links are not working in the original post. please provide alternates or please update the links.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] gu1dry:
They work fine, what is probably is occurring is your antivirus, firewall or DNS is blocking the links.

Sorry it actually appears the host is having some issues. I have notified the owner of the server about the issue. No ETA of when it will be back up.

What is the latest radio? How do I tell what radio I have?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] longhornguy:
Mac help

ok so i have done what the instructions for mac users have told me to do. I am at the point where my phone is hooked up, usb debugging is enabled, but when I try to run a command so that I can flash a radio, it says the command was not found.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjta:
Okay I'm not getting it!

I have radio .26_M

I get dropped calls whenever i'm at home and no wifi calling! (says invalid sim)

I personally cannot understand adb and I have used ManD5 to verify the radio but what am I looking for? All I get is some...... Vin number looking code.

How do I flash in recovery? (I have clockwork)

I HAVE read through the tread and when I go into recovery there is no prompt for me to (Update). Also I DID rename the file.

Please if someone can break it down to me step by step I would highly appreciate it!

Or if there is a video out there that would help too.

Thanks in advance guys.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjseis:
The way I do it since I've never really had luck with adb either is I place the radio in the sd root and go into bootloader... Haven't had a problem with this method yet... Just make sure it's named correctly (PD15IMG.zip) and that it's definitely in your root.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Ok. Here you go. First download the radio you want. I personally use the latest. While that's downloading go a grab AFV or manD5 from the market(its used to verify the md5) once the radio is downloaded open AFV and make sure the md5 matches with the one on the page.(the vin number thingy) Now place the radio zip on the root of your card.(not in any folders) make sure the file is named PD15IMG.zip if its not then change it to that. Next you will restart your phone. Hit restart to bootloader or if you don't have that option then power down then hold power and volume down then that will take you to bootloader. Enter bootloader by selecting with volume keys then press power. It should ask if you would like to update...follow the directions on the screen and it will download your radio. Hope it helps. I know there's links that tell you but I didn't just want to slap a link up. Its more personable this way...lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjta:
This is why i use these phones

When I got a windows phone back in 2003 you guys were there with the .cab files.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm confused here. I thought radio version 26.08.04.30 was from the T-Mobile Gingerbread leak, but now there is a newer version 26.11.04.03 that is also said to be from a T-Mobile Gingerbread leak. Can someone give some concrete info as to where these radios came from?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krazie1:
The new radio is from a whole new leak. The leak that was released today.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174344
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks. I had ignored that thread because I thought it was just the leak from a few months ago. I wonder why there are two different Gingerbread leaks, yet neither one has been released.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] synaesthetic:
You obviously have never owned a Vibrant, then. :D There must have been a dozen leaked builds of Froyo before the phone got an official release.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah no prob, in the thread they say it might be the Final Build.

@synaesthetic you are right, I have a vibrant too and what there were like around 10 froyo builds. lol. even 2 after the official build.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Nope. :) That's the reason I always hesitate to flash radios. The initial Gingerbread leak's radio obviously either had a bug or left a lot to be improved upon, so flashing it couldn't be a good idea. I'm currently running the stock Panache radio, and I won't be upgrading again until the final Gingerbread OTA radio is available.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Yay better service! Thanks for the update!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pching999:
Which Radio is good for Virtuous Unity?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] synaesthetic:
I'm also running the stock Panache radio. It seems a mite more sensitive than the MT4G stock radio. Signal looks better, battery life looks a tiny bit better, but I'll have to use it longer to be completely sure. The old radio would get bad signal in certain areas and slaughter my battery life trying to re-establish it, and this newer one looks better.

I'll probably keep this radio until the final OTA 2.3 release goes out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
So if I'm running RoyalPanache, which radio would be recommended for me? I'm tired of my signal/data disappearing at random for between one and ten minutes (usually right when I need it the most).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] overthinkingme:
Is there any chance that updating the radio will improve bluetooth performance? It's absolutely horrible while in motion (bike) where my little old optimus t would excel..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Robertleehadley:
Newest radio improves connection for me. Awesome.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Sizzlechest:
I'm on T-Mobile running latest Virtuous and upgraded to the latest radio. My 4G seems improved!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It definitely could, yes. The radio driver controls are radios on the phone (cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, etc).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jrlatta:
i compared my phone with the new radio on my phone against my girlfriends phone with the panache radio and hers was pulling up pages several seconds before me, so i switched back and now they are comparable again. so from my experience the new radio is slower
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Would it make a difference which ROM you're on? And I'm doing pretty well on the new radio, I feel like it's a tiny bit faster than panache's radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
Which affects battery life the most? A radio or kernel?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
They both play a big role in battery life, it all depends on the person, area/coverage, use and type of use with the phone, so it is a case by case basis...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
I ask because I've been swapping both kernels and radios trying to find the best balance (im sure everyone is) between signal strength, bluetooth, and battery life.

I didn't know if I should focus on one or the other.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
With cm7 & faux .6 kernel...the new radio drained my battery like crazy.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
well your radio controls all radio functionality... aka your signal,bt, wifi, gps, ect... but your kernel too helps in some of these things! so you would be best to only change one thing at a time and leave it alone for a few days(or more) just to see how it changes after it has settled in and then and only then will you know the true effects its had...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
Yeah, I've been doing that. After switching to faux's .07LV kernel, I've been using different radios. I keep going back to stock because it's given me the best results.

off topic:

Im also in Houston.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
good to know that you are giving it time to settle, btw what part of houston you in, i am on the east side, but from the north side originally

[myTouch 4G Android Development] raycaster3:
Probably a dumb question but is the third the latest?

Well I went ahead and flashed the third gingerbread radio. We'll see how it goes....

I can already tell a huge difference I'm reception in my house. It used to jump from edge to 3g to 4 g and back non stop. Now just sitting at full bars 4g. Hell yeah!

Thanks for these instructions. Couldn't have been easier. Idk how you could screw this up.

Now hopefully my battery life will improve somewhat.

Flashed the newest radio leak and I noticed I suffered a significant drop in 4g speeds.

Just personal experience.

I went back to stock panache. Speeds back up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] raycaster3:
Probably depends on the market you're in? Idk I was on stock glacier and my speeds have now increased with the latest. I'll try it for a bit then maybe the panache in a few days.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] RangerLG:
I'm seeing a slight improvement in 4G speeds using the newest leak. I used to not top a Mb on upload, not I can get 1.5Mb with occasional bursts. This is full bars on 4G.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Sense seems to affect radio performance somewhat I work in a hospital on aosp I can't get more than edge where I am at with the newest radio. On sense my battery seems to be more steady and drains slower.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cangri87:
Ive been running latest Radio leak with Virtuous Unity Rom, and ive noticed an increase in battery drain. Unless its VU 1.29?

might need to go back to the Panache one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
I think the panache one should be best for now we will probably get another radio when the public gets the gingerbread update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
Im in northern california. I get great speeds on the panache atleast 4megs down but on newest radio I couldn't break 1meg and my phone was in the exact same spot...

Im on VU. Im just going to stick to panache for now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] raycaster3:
My speed is def better on the new leak than the stock radio (I haven't flashed anything till last night) but I'm trying to get my radio to quit destroying my battery. So I'll probably try panache to see if it drains less. Right now I'm still not to thrilled about the battery consumption. I love that we have the option to flash whichever we like best. Good stuff

[myTouch 4G Android Development] raycaster3:
I'm in Ogden thanks for the info. I was using the newest and it was better than stock so if panache is better than that, it oughta be great!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
What the latest radio
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bluizzo:
okay quick question and ill go away. the paneche radio is the middle one, right?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It's the one labeled "Panache". ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hongphooey:
My initial thoughts of the latest radio are that the speed is a bit faster but kills the battery faster as well. Not sure if the little increase of speed is worth the battery dying faster.

*edit. installed the panache radio and this one is by far the best one as far as speed in my house goes. I'm getting an average of 1.6mbs vs ~600kbs on the 2.08.531.0 RUU, and the 2.19.531.1 RUU. Though not sure on the battery yet. Will update later.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] bstylz911:
Could u make a flashable zip please.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I'm not trying to be a hard a$$... But just asking for a flasgable zip for every mod and tweak you want only hurts yourself. Personally, I wanna know everything about everything that goes on when I start messing under the hood of my phone. I paid way too much for this thing to NOT teach myself about what's going on. Its very rewarding. Really. And asking a dev for a special file just for you when everyone else uses what they were given is kinda rude.

That said... These radios are already as easy to install as a flashable zip. Read the op... And otherr posts in the thread. Not comfortable with adb? No worries... Just put the radio in the root of your SD card and boot into hboot... And the radio will "flash" it self!

Easy as my sister!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I heartily agree with everything you said there, except you forgot to mention verifying the MD5 with an app like ManD5 first. ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gu1dry:
Also one of the main reasons flashable update.zips are not available for the newer HTC devices, is due they do not work properly in CWR 3+.
