so i'm on the latest 26.09.04.26 radio, its been 16 hours on battery and it says i still have 50% battery left, so i'd say that battery hasn't gotten any worse, but at the same time i don't think my reception has improved much either, all around i think i'm getting about the same speeds as the 26.08.04.30 radio so far

Using radio 26.09.04.26

Updated with no problem. However I'm having really bad connectivity issues. Full bars showing 3G and H, depending on where I'm at. I'm lucky if I get any sort of connection at all.

Also tried 26.08.04.30

Wondering if I'm missing anything for forgot to do something. Using Virtuous Fusion MT4G v1.0.2.

You can also use Android File Verifier from the market to check md5sum once radio is on your sd

Will somebody be able to suggest to me what's a good radio to use with the virtuous fusion ROM? It would be greatly appreciated.. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tachi91:
So am i right to assume any Radio would work on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G.. I ask this since Radios are being pulled from International or Other Roms not of T-Mobile origin and from my experience with the HD2 some international ROM Radios would brick the device.

Just want to clarify that besides corrupted radios there is no other threat to flashing radios

The latest radio seems to have pretty spotty data flow. It seems like it will start transferring data then stop and go again and do that constantly. The .08 radio seems the best so far
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Can someone refresh my memory on the fastboot command for radio flashing. Is it:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

With radio.img being in your ADB folder?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jester450:
Kind of a silly question, but though I'd ask. Is it ok to flash radio 26.09.04.26 on 2.2.1?

HELP!

Ok, I screwed myself big time somehow...I'm on evil's fusion rom, and I placed both faux's new kernel and the radio on my sd card. Flashed the radio, got stuck in a bootloop...but because the pd15img file is on my sd card, hboot only gives me the option to flash radio, which I did...might have been a bad idea...I realized I need to remove the pd15img file so that I can boot into CW recovery to flash the 'first time' kernel, except when I mounted my sd card via sd card reader, it's not allowing me to delete the pd15img file, possibly because I already updated it...? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just need to get back to recovery somehow...

EDIT: Resolved, thank goodness.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eqjunkie829:
Doing it this way still requires renaming the file pd15img.zip correct? My first time flashing a radio, just want to make sure ive got all the necessary info.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] acsi007:
how'd you solve it, sunsean?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jfmckenna:
you could always use rom manager to boot into recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sunsean:
I resolved it by switching my old micro sd card into my phone, flashing the 2 kernels (first time and undervolt kernel) from that old sd card, which got the phone up and running again, then just switched back to my new/current sd card. I had a little panic attack at first, but wasn't too hard to get around.

And I couldn't use rom manager, because that was the problem - was stuck in a bootloop and couldn't start the phone up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dubie76:
I am good with adb, but a cwm flashable version of the radios would be great for peeople who are away from a pc with adb on it. I know at work I dont have it, but often find something I want to get onto my phone and end up waiting all day to rush home to my laptop because of the adb issue. Just a thought.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
All the necessary info is in the OP. Doesn't get much more easy than simple step by step.

I am using the third radio and my download has increased about 20% but that is in an area where i got good reception. I will see tomorrow when i go to the office where it is poor and later in the week when i am at my homie's house where i get horrible reception

Has anyone received any of these radios yet via legitimate OTA update from T-mobile?

I'd like to update my radio but I'm wary of creating problems where there currently are none.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ilaf0106:
Is there a cwm flashable version? Just scared of bric king my phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tjlawson09:
It's probably a good idea to take the radio .zip file off your sd card after you update. I don't think that is very clear in the OP. Could cause some people some headaches. I know this guy figured it out but it might be useful to add this to the instructions to help everyone.

edit: referring to post #256
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That was exactly my concern, and I still don't know for sure where these radios came from. However, after flashing the newest version, I can tell you there are no disadvantages. I see H more often (instead of just 3G) and my battery life seems just as good as with the stock radio. I do hope we get some concrete info as to these radios source though.

I just upgraded to the latest radio (26.09.04.26) and i have to say that im impressed. I was on the stock radio and in a area where i use to get 2 bars i now get 4 bars. My speed is drastically increased when on 4g and all around this radio is excellent. I usually have full bars everywhere and i live in a area that only gets "Edge". I'd suggest to anyone thinking about updating to do it, its very beneficial.

Hey I don't have access to a computer for a few days so could I download the radios and everything just using my phone? Sorry if its a dumb question

can i flash a radio like a rom? from rom manager... im not very good w adb thats why i ask.. i remember the nexus one u could just flash em like that..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unclespoon:
No you have to follow the steps to get the eng h-boot and flash the PD15IMG file from there. You can seriously screw stuff up if you do this the wrong way! I got it all done using Root Explorer instead of the ADB commands and everything works just fine. That being said I'm on the newest radio and I'm enjoying the speeds. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Nutzzer:
unclespoon,

Can you share the steps on how to do it via root explorer?

thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unclespoon:
Sure, basically I just followed *exactly, to a tee* grankin's guide on s-off permarooting and installing the engineering bootloader. Whenever he instructs you to abd push a file, you just use Root Explorer to put the file there instead and follow the terminal emulator instructions. Root Explorer will unzip files, too, and you need to move first a gfree file (if you do the s-off steps) and then the hboot file. I was already peramrooted (or so I thought) via visionary but I followed these steps just to be sure I wouldn't run into any problems. Here's the OP:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] pistol4413:
I flashed the .30 radio about two weeks ago. Initially the the download speeds were a little better than stock, the biggest gain was in the upload speeds. The only drawback was the signal dropping and fluctuating maybe 5 times a day. I came back to the thread to flash back to stock when I noticed a newer radio had been added. I flashed it and after a few speed tests and couple of hours my download speeds greatly increased. Im maxing out at 6.4 MBps! Will report back in a few days with more results.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Julianmgn:
And from there u can use root explorer when following the steps for flashing the radio?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unclespoon:
Once you've got the eng bootloader installed you just put the PD15IMG radio file on your sdcard (/root not any other folder or it won't work) then boot into h-boot and it'll recognize the PD15IMG file and flash it then reboot your ROM for you and you're golden.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Julianmgn:
I cant get hboot to recognize the file
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unclespoon:
Is it labeled PD15IMG.zip? Don't change the name of it when you download it. Make sure it's in the root folder of your sdcard - meaning that when you open your sdcard it's in that first folder and not any other folder. Then when h-boot loads it'll scan for files in certain places and find the file on your sdcard. Other than that I wouldn't really know what to tell you other than just doing it for you - which I can't...

Flashed 26.09.04.26 over the stock image using the adb method. So far, seems decent...at work where I'm usually on Edge, I have 1-2 bars of H and my download speeds seem pretty good at 400k (laugh, but I usually bounce around 200-300k in this area).

Anything about the "Canadian" version I flashed that I didn't find in my research? I assume that they use the same frequency bands that we do down here and this is just a slightly improved version of the radio which was with the MT4G at release?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] firedog09:
i just flashed the latest one using Hboot... why r ppl not doing it like that is much easier than pushing thru adb.. lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cal3thousand:
I agree

Its a million times easier, IMO, to check the MD5SUM using ADB and then using the bootloader to load the radio.

I also flashed 26.09.04.26 over the stock via hboot. At my house I would roam onto ATT network and now I get 3-5 bars on edge.

So any thoughts why my 4g is crawling. ^A couple months ago it used to be around 5 Mbs so I'm not sure where along the line it slowed drastically or how to getting it back up to speed.

Also I am in north Miami Beach. I have tried different severs, reloaded speedtest. checked the md5 sum on my phone, but the stock radios was just as slow. Thanks in advance

the proxies are not needed

try removing the proxy and proxy port settings and see if that helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Coppo:
I removed the proxy and port but left the MMS proxy and MMS port and nothing changed. Still slow speeds.

I tried clearing all the settings/ data, cache and doing a factory reset but still no difference. Tried the stock radio too.

I am assuming since it used to be 5xS quicker something is wrong but since I changed radio and Roms I'm left scratching my head. Anyother thoughts or suggestion?

Just flashed 26.09.04.26, so far it's the most consistent radio as far as dBm are concerned. stays between 79-89 in the condo, and doesn't jump up wildly as soon as i pick up the phone. Don't like using speed tests, so I'll see how it seems to handle data over the next few days and report back. Relatively impressed at this point.

P.S. I do have the Eng. Bootloader. ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vqt:
Reboot into your hboot and select bootloader. It will automactically detect the PD15IMG.zip file and ask you with you want to update? also the file needs to just be on your sd card not in a folder called "root" or "root folder." I have flashed all the radios and haven't had a problem.
