Actually Mobile Hotspot is working just fine for me with this radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] whiteblazer00:
This radio is working great with Synergy ROM
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
Does this prevent 4g? I saw 4g before flashing this. Not saying it is...bit seems coincidental.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trusteelfan:
I can confirm that this radio works on OMFGB 1.3 7/7 nightly. Also I get 4G at my house when I didn't before. I usually have to drive about 8 miles closer to town to get 4G but not anymore. SWEET!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corey113888:
i had 4g after updating but the internet was timing out. disabled mobile network for 30 seconds or so and re-enabled and all is good for me! thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lostnuke:
we need a merge
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thunderbread:
So far perfect on bamf 3.0 RC4.

4g working fine
[Thunderbolt Android Development] D623:
nvm I'm a dumb ass, I had 1.6.3 the entire time. I flashed 1.8.6 and it works just fine now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] blackbass595:
Running bamf 1.8.6 with control freak 2.0 kernel...ive tried MR2, 2.5 and now this one. MR2 woke up in the morning and had a nice bowl of "honey nut battery-o's" for breakfast and continued the feast throughout the day. 2.5 was pretty solid with good batt life. GPS however was still slow but nothing like MR1. Now this. WOW. GPS locks within seconds indoors and is instantly accurate to around 4ft. the others took a bit of time to get the accuracy dialed in like that. Still dont know about batt life but doesnt seem any worse then 2.5. I know all phones are different but this is a winner radio fro me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LinxuSx:
Great radio. Using it with bamf 3.0 rc4 and used to only get 4-5 MB download. Now getting 12-18 MB download with this radio!!

No 4G on CM7 1.2 with this radio =/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
I'm on cm7 and flashed this radio with no problems. It connects to 4G immediately on boot and has increased my overall speeds.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tazman19:
Looks like weather problems are back with this radio. Cannot connect to location service to update current location. Was fine on 2.0 radio.

GPS locks to my exact location though pretty quickly and I tried running GPS fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] contractcooker:
No, not really. To be specific this was stripped from a FROYO OTA (hopefully the last one). HOWEVER, it should work with any ROMS designed to work with MR2/.5 radios so it will work with the majority of GB ROMS out there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnchad14:
lost 4G on radio flash too. This happened to me on 2.5...eventually just came back. This time after rebooting after playing with 3g/4g settings, 4G all good. Try that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] youarealwaysthereMD:
I don't know if you're asking or answering, but with mr2.5 I always had luck going into the toolkit, LTE settings, toggling to LTE mode to acquire a 4G signal, then switching to LTE CDMA auto. After that I usually had 4G pretty steady all day.

I will test this on the new radio if it is needed (which I hope it is not).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
This code doesn't match the download file.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tazman19:
Swtiched back to the 2.0 radio and same problem. So it seems that flashing the updated one breaks something in the location service, unless its an HTC problem. Wierd thing is my weatherbug and fancy widgets pick up the current location name but beautiful widgets does not. Color me extremely confused.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JBO1018:
I have the same issue on the old "MR2" leak. That fix you mentioned would work for a while, but I find if I leave WiFi on and NOT connected it stays on 4G but turn WiFi off and it goes back to 3G. Very odd. Will have to test out this radio.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] travishamockery:
I'm using Fancy Widgets and I'm having the location name problem so it's not just BW. I'm in jersey but keep showing i'm in Estonia. I was fine prior to this radio too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dcoy82:
Yea I know sorry about that it was taken from the radio that was posted in the other thread that got deleted.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] strongergravity:
Go to settings>location then uncheck "use wireless networks." Make sure "use GPS" is checked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tazman19:
Does not fix it. Curious that switching back to the prior radio didn't work either. Thinking about reflashing the rd4 ROM without a wipe to see if it restores.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fatboy97:
Thanks again for the information!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eris72:
got 4g on boot, cm7 1.2

also MUCH faster 4g speeds! 3-4x as fast on speedtest
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeeter123:
Just noticed 1 slight oddity: I had to disable wi-fi before I could make a phone call or send sms. after successfully making the phone call I re enabled wifi and all is okay now.

BAMF'd Nicely w/3. 0 rc4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] youarealwaysthereMD:
After some charging and a reboot it appears my battery stats are somehow broken. It measures on boot then freezes there. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lostboy1952:
Very nice. Seems to make my TB a bit speedier!!!!! Running bamf 1.8.6
[Thunderbolt Android Development] krickatthedisco:
confirmed working perfectly on CM7 MR2 version, wifi/3g both locked on instantly at boot, and both seem faster, will report back whether or not wifi tether works
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rester555:
First random reboot on new radio... :-(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shambala69:
3G/4G, Wifi, and GPS running smooth on Eaton ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tazman19:
Just restored the RC4 ROM, no wipe and still only getting 'current location' on weather with older 2.0 radio. Could it be an HTC location service problem and nothing to do with the newer flashed radio? Seems odd though that it was just working last night prior to flashing the newest 2.0 release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikec86:
It will eventually start working in a day or two, sometimes switching from wifi to 3g helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dugall12:
I got data drop outs with this radio like I did with MR2.5 using bamf 1.8.6. I switched back to the MR2 radio for now which has always run great. I'm a little concerned that my phone has poor results with these new radios.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
I have the same problem I originally updated while using BAMF 3RC4 then switched to the rooted leaked RUU. I spend more time in 3G and in the same areas that I used to have 4G. I used LTE switch to force LTE ONLY which seemed to correct the problem. I think this is Verizon's doing to save on battery they set a higher 4G signal switch point.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Jumping In!

K, I've been running all of my roms and mods with the leaked MR2 Radio, I never used the MR2.5 as it Never Yielded Good Results. The Leaked radio was awesome and ran like a beast, my DL and Upload speeds were amazing.. :)

I am jumping on this "official" release to see how it goes.. I did see that this is the radio that comes with the latest update, which could include some fixes for the reboot and data exchange issues some have been having.. :D

Edit:

So Far So Good.. Running CM7 RC1.2 and All seems well.. Had a Faster Data and GPS (Not Much with CM7 Alpha as We Know) Lock than Ever.. Will Say.. This Has Started on a Good Note!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
BAMF 1.8.6

Was using the leaked Mr2 update which yielded a more stable phone than Mr2.5. Tried this official Mr2 with poor results. Phone hasn't got 4g yet. I have been on the radio for over an hour. 4g on my wife's charge is fine. Also battery seems to be draining fast. I'll wait it out and see what happens.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
Still no 4g. 3g speeds are ridiculously slow. Already had a random reboot. Going back to the leaked Mr2 radio which worked great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
LOL... where did anyone say that? No it's not Gingerbread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fluc02:
I also get no 4G on this new radio. The icon shows up, but won't download data. Then I flashed back to MR2 which used to work perfectly, and now it has the same issue: no data over 4G though it shows the icon and a couple bars of signal strength. Anyone have any idea what could be going on? Rom and kernel are the same.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
I don't even get the 4g icon. Battery temps are up. Speeds are way down. With the Mr2 leak I had light usage with texts, phone calls, games and web browsing and I had 50 hours of the phone being on and I finally charged it with 28% remaining. This was on imesyons lean kernel on extreme mode. I'm going to charge my phone and then go back to the old leaked version.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrjinglesusa:
Radio works perfectly fine. 3G, 4G, WiFi, everything works.

You all have something else going on - it's not the radio.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
It works fine with MR2+ Gingerbread Roms yes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
Any insight would be appreciated. The flashing of this new radio caused all of the problems. I will flash back in a half hour or so to see if the problems go away. No other changes were made.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrjinglesusa:
I have no idea why it's not working for you. Network issues? Bad radio flash?

All I know is that it works fine here and for many (most) others.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
I had the same problem with 4G I removed the sim and battery for 10 minutes. Now it seems a little better
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
My wife's phone has great 4g on her Droid charge so I don't think that is the problem. Possibly a bad flash. Md5 checked out fine. Maybe ill redownload and reflash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
the only bug i notice is 4g reverts back to 3g after a phone call is made or received.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drjk:
Just flashed this radio I use BaMF remix 1.8.6, GPS is faster, but 4G speeds are the same, and I still only get 2-3 bars reception(same)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i don't see how that would fix anything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
Redownloaded. Checked Md5. Flashed through hboot. Same result. No 4g. 3g speeds are putrid. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] foxalot:
Was going strong for a day, then I got a network error to the market despite having a full 4g connection. Oddly enough, switching over to Wifi still gave me a network error. Couldn't browse the web or use any services that required connectivity on wifi or 4g. Back to 2.5 for me...

Edit: Running Gingeritis 1.1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
Went back to leaked mr2. 4g booted right up and was at the same speed as it was before. On my phone it is definitely the radio....at least on Bamf 1.8.6. What else could it be???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
So it seems this radio is hit or miss
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xander0306:
That's the lte equivalent of *228 option 2, waiting 10 minutes might be a little unnecessary however
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheOnlyOne93:
Radio is fine it's the OTA verzion is gonna push, if your having trouble with it toggle LTE on off a couple times. I've been running it for awhile adn haven't had one reboot GPS lock is instant. and super 4g speeds
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
what does it do?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mallen462:
I just lost 4G anyone else has this issue, I did notice there was a lot of response regarding 4G
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
fixxxer2008,

Someone who says they are a VZW tech over at android central said when you remove the card for at least 2 minutes it causes some sort of re-activation of the sim. You don't actually have to remove the sim from the phone just pull out the sim drawer. I understand why he said to remove it, but I am not sure if I can explain it. It's something about how chipsets can store a reserve charge which can actually keep the sim active.

xander0306,

I tried 2 minutes at first and it didn't work so I figured what the heck I'll wait longer. 10 minutes might be extreme, but it seemed to solve the problem at least for this evening.

EDIT:

On a side note I just figured out how to multi-qoute after I posted this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
Try pulling the battery and pulling out the sim card draw. You shouldn't have to wait for more then 2-3 minutes. The first time it didn't work for my phone so I waited 10 and it seemed to resolve the issue. It's the LTE version of doing a *228 #2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
I went back to mr2.5 for now. Im not impressed by the new radio. Also reverting seemed to fix loosing my 4g after a call. I was expecting more from this update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
I tried to toggle back and forth around a hundred times.....no joke. That doesn't work. Gps did lock quick. Maybe it was my rom but other people were running bamf 1.8.6 and new radio with no problems. I don't know a lot about this stuff. Battery life with leaked mr2 and imoseyons kernel is by far the best I have seen on this phone. I'll stick with that unless I can figure out why this new radio doesn't work for me and others.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] flooritnfly:
Got the update, so far no random reboots :):):)

But.......how to root after this newest OTA.....? :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheOnlyOne93:
Do what you will, just remember those radios are no longer supported nor called MR2 or MR2.5

MR2 is the radio in this thread, all others were **** canned. and you will confuse people by calling them MR2 or 2.5 since there is a real MR2 out now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Unseeablething:
This is very much so true. Maybe call it Leak2 or Leak2.5?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheOnlyOne93:
or call them nothing since technially they will never see the light of day. and will not be supported anymore.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Unseeablething:
Well true, but they're still being used for now, and could come up later.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheOnlyOne93:
no they won't. they are very old radios. and an offical one from verzion is out now. there is no need to be using leaked radios, and confusing people. 1.70 RUU is OTA from verzion adn the radio they are pushing with it is the radio in this thread. THAT is MR2 everything else was canned by Verizon for bugs or other reasons that we don't know of. hence the build date on this is almost 3 weeks newer then 169RUU and a month newer then so called mr2.5, if you want to use an old radio that verzion canned then go ahead but don't recommend it when an official radio is out that is a month newer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
Where are you? I'm in the Phoenix area and have NEVER experienced a reboot. In fact, I have gotten great speeds and connectivity with all radios. This leads me to believe it may factor in as well as user error...or an unwillingness to start with clean wipe/cache/etc before loading a new rom/kernel.

Just to double check, there's no need to wipe dalvik cache or do anything special after flashing this from the (hold vol dwn + pwr method) right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
In in Phoenix too (Anthem to be exact). The installation instructions you have laid out are correct. Flash away!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
Love that little town...specially the donut shop!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
Oh yeah! My neighbors used to own the shop until a year or so ago. They brought at least a dozen over to the house once to twice a week. I think everyone in the family gained 10lbs during that time. We all lost 10lbs when they sold it! Lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Having some serious location issues with this on OMFGB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dugall12:
I had the same results. I too am running bamf 1.8.6 with the leaked MR2 radio which runs great but when I tried this one I got data drops when I wake the phone after its been off for a while. At first I was thinking maybe since I have setcpu to down clock with the screen off maybe that was screwing it up but my phone works perfect with the leaked MR2 with the same setcpu settings. I also had drop outs with the original radio then MR1 cured that but MR2.5 and the OTA MR2 both drop out on me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WBMc36:
have had data drops and a lack of 4g since i flashed the radio. I am on CM7, anyone have any ideas? I have seen others with the same problems, but it seems switching back to an older radio is the only solution as of now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] youarealwaysthereMD:
If you want to give the radio another shot try this install method:

1) set up adb via usb cable and have the PG05IMG.zip on sd card root

2) make sure it is connected (adb devices)

3) reboot into recovery via rom manager (or adb)

4) delete cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats

5) boot into bootloader via adb: adb reboot bootloader

6) select bootloader and let it work

7) reboot when finished/prompted

I saw this method a while ago and it gives pretty good results. My radio has worked well (it freaked out once but a reboot settled it down) and I've noticed it is basically the same as MR2.5 with some increases in data speed but slight decrease in battery life (although it runs cooler, may just be my over use testing the radio).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
Has anyone switched from mr2.5 to this new radio? If you have is it running better or worse? I'm just trying to decide if I should switch cause I'm running mr2.5 flawlessly, but I have read good and bad things about the new radio so I'm unsure.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
It's working a good as MR2 was for me and the GPS lock is hella fast.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
id say the new radio is worse than mr2.5 was. but i had a reboot today after i flashed 2.5 so im going to give the new OTA another shot, i guess ill just have to live with it. im not impressed at all.

i hope with the gingerbread OTA we get a better radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
Yesterday I switched from the old 2.0 radio to the new one.

So far there are no issues at all and seems to working very well! I don't know if its my imagination or not but the internet seems much faster!

I am of the opinion that no matter how good something is there will always be those that have problems.

Go for it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Can you just put this on the root of your sd card turn your phone off press power and vol dwn and it wilk go to boot loader?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
Ya, make sure you checked the md5 sums though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
why would we have to check that? isn't the link in the 1st reply accurate?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] loveubuntu:
I've tried leaked MR2 and MR2.5 and now the official MR2 with Gingeritis 1.0 and all versions of BAMF with no major problems (BAMF 3.0 RC4 gave me problems so I switched to 2.1). All three seem to have fixed the GPS for me fine. ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE, in my opinion of course, is that this new official release appears to have fixed the "slow charge bug" in the Gingerbread roms. You know? The phone charged super super slow unless you plugged it in and rebooted, then it would charge normally. With this new official radio, I no longer need to reboot plugged in. I hope it's not my imagination.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
I ckd sums not same than the one from this post what is the real sum
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
so the link is not accurate then? :confused:

if this is true someone needs to yank that link and give us the real radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
I dont know it didnt.match with one someone.posted Im trying to find out I dont think xda would put out bad stuff thats why you ck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
android central has the OP's link to the radio too so it must be accurate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Im gonna try.it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fluc02:
I tried reflashing with this method (after redownloading), and still get no data over 4G, and no data over 4G now with any radio, ROM, or kernel.

I suppose it could be a network issue, but that would be a huge coincidence that it first popped up the instant I first flashed this radio, and has since stuck around for 2 full days.

Can anyone give me any idea of what I can do to fix this, or test what could be going on? I've tried reseating the SIM, flashing leaked MR2, leaked MR2.5, switching to various ROMs (BAMF Gingerstripped, OMFGB, CM7) and kernels (leankernel, dreamkernel). I get the same result everywhere. Is my only remaining option to go back to full stock?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
Go to Verizon and get a new sim card. (Free)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Flashed it everything eorking good so far. Gps seems faster time will tell.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
I had a similar problem a few months ago, I couldn't get 4g at all even when I reverted to completely stock unrooted, so I brought it into Verizon, unrooted if course, and the tech guy messed with it for 20 mins, and he got it working, so if going back to stock doesn't help, you will probably have to go into Verizon like I did. Goodluck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
Remove battery and sim for 5 minutes, I actually did 10 myself and it worked. I guess it some how re_initialize the sim like a *228.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Are you sure you hav everything ckd on your phone like mobil net work does it work on wifi sometimes it can be a small as a ck mark if not Ill give you another way to try worked for me just did it 30 minutes ago
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fluc02:
I did try this after someone else recommended it earlier in the thread, no luck. I'm on the phone with verizon right now after flashing to the rooted version of the stock OTA rom, they reinitialized my sim on their end and it also did not work. Looks like I'll have to unroot and take it into the store.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Ive gotten better battery life on this. I installed on a fresh install of bamf rc5 and i dropped about 2 percent and hour on standby.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
I think I agree!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lostboy1952:
Much better battery life with this radio and BAMF 1.8.6 !!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
...move along...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
Haha! I loved that woman!!! Tell her Jody and his mother Marie say hello. ;-)

Also...battery life's incredible here in AZ. Im lucky to live in Tempe though. I can give free internets to the world!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Battery life definetly better rc5 and ota radio almost like a real phone hope it stays that way.

Also charging issue is gone no more recal battery to charge and seems like Gps locking quicker
[Thunderbolt Android Development] redfaktion:
upgrade 3 days ago, using BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4. I never had any issues with the leaked MR2 other than no 4G on initial flash but that was fixed with toggling LTE settings a couple of times. This radio locked onto 4G right away after reboot. No reboots since flash, solid so far.
