I am getting decent battery life, instantaneous GPS lock and no reboots with the previously leaked MR2 radio on BAMF 1.8.6. From the sounds of it, the new MR2 radio does not add any new benefits except more battery drain over the previously leaked MR2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Same here but like someone said the new MR2 is the offical OTA from Verizon and.the one we will all finally use.SoI got it doesnt seem any differrnt except the battery charging isdue is gone no keed to clear bat stats anymore. Also in my case gps locks faster
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jarrell0406:
I just updated to this radio I had the leaked 2.0 with gingeritis and it is instant on gps and 4g
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
Not running BAMF 2.1 myself, but it will work.

It will work most GB Roms (inc. BAMF GB Roms) and any Froyo Roms that specify "MR2" radio requirement.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Curious question, when flashing radios, is a ROM backup really necessary? I mean, you're not backing up the radio when you back up the ROM. Is that a correct statement?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] youarealwaysthereMD:
I never back up my ROM before a radio flash but that's because I always do a dalvik cache, cache, and battery stats wipe beforehand and use adb to go from recovery to bootloader.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gatewayad:
You are correct, not necessary but never a bad idea
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aj356:
just had my first random reboot after flashing this radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Well, we shall see how this goes battery life wise. My try with 1.8.6 and MR2 was not treating the battery too well. I got one of those phantom battery drains (walk away from phone with 75% or so, come back to 30 something percent a short while later) so I hope this does better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
Went through 5 Fascinates. Here's what my 1 and only Tbolt does with this radio on 4G all night long.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhaymond:
if I may, I'm a little confused... what is the differents in some of these numbers I'm looking at? I'm seeing a 1.39...627 and a 1.70...605.

or am I not seeing this right?

Im sorry but I dont want to flash something I'm not suppose to on a Rom.

Im running the BAMF 3.0 RC4.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhaymond:
Never mind I apologize about that, I figured it out. Ones the baseband (radio) 1.39...627r the other is the build number for a Rom I guess I was looking at, correct? Thanks

*WALK in the WORD*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
You got a good one too. lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rajuabju:
Been running the radio all day on bamf remix, working great. No restarts so far. Gps lock was good before, but now its almost instant!

I don't notice any real change in battery life, but only one day to base it off of so far.

both 4 g and 3g work as before, no change in speed
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gcantrell:
Been on this radio for about 2 days now, definitely noticing a change for the better. Prior to this radio i NEVER got 4G in my house, and if i got 3G it was only in about 1 spot and if you moved away from it you'd get nothing so i'd always have WiFi on.

Now.. I get 3 bars of 4G, all throughout my entire house. In fact it locks on 4G and stays on it, doesn't even switch to 3G. Unreal!

Hope everyone else is seeing some great results, haven't had time to go back through the thread yet to see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
my 4g definitely drops out more often now than running the leaked mr2.5 radio. ill sit at my computer desk and get a great 4g signal, then go sit on my couch which is literally 2 ft away and it drops out... very weird. :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
I too am getting teh no 4G issue
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
Well I tried downloading the MR2 radio for a third time and flashed it again. Let the record show that all 3 times the MD5 matched. For some reason unknown to me, I went from getting incredible battery life with the OLD LEAKED version 2 to getting atrocious battery life. This time the radio works. I get 4g no problem. I'm testing the battery life on Bamf 1.8.6 with imoseyons lean kernel set on extreme. Hopefully this works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Strange. Over the weekend, I flashed 1.8.6 and the MR2 (first MR2) and was getting absolutely horrible battery life. Yesterday I flashed the newest radio and my battery is handling it a lot better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
At first on the OLD LEAKED #2 on bamf 1.8.6 I was getting the most unbelievable battery life. It was with light usage but I had 28% battery left after 50 hours. Then yesterday with the same setup I had 50% battery left after 4 hours.....go figure. The new radio seems to run warmer than the leaked version did but so far the battery isn't going anywhere, which is good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Was it ever determined if this newest radio (here) is the same from the OTA or something different?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
I believe that it is the OTA
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Acrono:
Just curious, how is this different than the radios posted on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154010?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
Got it working after reset of radio a few times and switching CDMA to LTE.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itsmejson:
i believe those mr2xx radios are the leaked radios, whereas

this one is the official release

w/ 1.8.6, stock battery & 1 charge I was able to get 22hrs of uptime w/ light moderate use.

that's the most i've gotten. as for awake time i'm still sitting at 4.5 - 5hrs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skizzigh:
noob question hwo do you flash this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
Copy the file to the root directory of your SD card. Rename it to PG05IMG.zip

Power your phone off, then power back up by holding down the volume (-) button and the power button at the same time.

Phone will boot nto the boot loader screen, check the image file for a moment then ask if you wish to update.

PLEASE be sure you check out the threads a bit to ensure this is the radio to use with your ROM.

I use it with CM7 and it has worked out great !!!

Good luck !!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SKumar26:
is this safe to flash on a non-rooted thunderbolt? i un-rooted a friends phone last week and she still hasnt received the update.

Also i thought it was suppose to be a 75mb file according to VZ... this is 25mb??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam30era:
No it is not. This is only the radio, not the full ota update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drozek:
I finally got around to flash this radio, I noticed the battery drains faster and GPS drops out. Driving from Chicago to Milwaukee today, lost signal 3-4 times. I am going back to MR2.5
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StephenMilone:
can someone who flashed this and is on a sense rom confirm their PRL version?

I have CM7 and want to make sure I still have the latest PRL without the need to nandroid back and forth between a sense based rom. thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m1mgd00:
Disappointing update. Like others, after I flashed the radio I lost 4g (or, more accurately, my phone was perpetually grabbing and dropping the 4g signal). I tried some of the fixes posted, but after a few days I have now reverted back the 2.5 leaked radio and all is well.

I think this may be dependent on your calling area?

not sure though. I was googling this question yesterday.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst11:

No image or wrong image (from Fastboot)

So, i'm coming from Lightning ROM (currently on my BOLT), and looking to go to das bamf 3.0 sense rom which uses MR2 radio.

Now, i know i got this exact same error, i thought i had posted about it and i have checked back to no avail. No thread i can find where i posted what happened and how for the Lightning rom i finally got the .zip file to work.

Anyway, here's what i have, the PG05IMG.zip file for the MR2 radio, saved the zip to my sd card. Its not within any folder, and it is unzipped. I click the Bootloader from Fastboot, and it immediately gives the messages "Sd checking..." "No image..." "Wrong image..." and returns to Fastboot screen.

Anyone tell me where i went wrong? I don't do many modifications obviously, and if you can help out i seem to have forgoten what i did the previous 1 time with my current rom.

thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cshannon:
Do not unzip it....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] icesteve:
If I'm not mistaken shouldnt that be PG05IMG.zip?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dr_acula:
like said above, do not unzip and make sure its named exactly to PG05IMG.zip (make sure its not PG05IMG.zip.zip)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshw0000:
Hey guys, I have been on GB for a while now with the MR2 radio. Mine has a different md5. Is this a new radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam30era:
Yes, this is the official ota radio, pushed as part of the Verizon ota MR2 update last week.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshw0000:
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. That's a Froyo OTA right? We haven't got an official GB update have we?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itsmejson:
no official gb update yet. I've read though that you

can still use this mr2 radio w/ gb roms
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshw0000:
I believe you're correct. I've been on GB with the MR2 leak for a while now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mg00000:
Yes, apparently i do not proofread well. It is "PG05IMG.zip". Its still a zip-file, i did not unzip it. Its is on my phone at /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip, viewing it through Root Explorer right now.

Now that i can type the file name, any other thoughts?

Here is the on-screen text from HBOOT:

Thought i'd reply. Must have been the file. i deleted it, got it from the mirror site listed and it went on fine. thx for replying everyone!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sweeny Russ:
Anybody notice better battery worse reception? MR 2.5 seemed to have a much more consistent signal but was harder on the battery. I do drink a lot as a disclaimer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StephenMilone:
i feel the same way. i was on the original MR2 leak and since upgrading to the OTA MR2 my battery life has improved and in regards to my signal the only thing i noticed is during drive home to/from work used to be full 4G, now i notice a portion of my commute is 3G. metro NYC area.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkilla:
Signal sucks. There's times i have no data for atleast 2-3 minutes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam30era:
It's supposed to be capitalized. I think it makes a difference.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
Capital & on the root of your sd card not in a file
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshw0000:
I live in a 4g area so I always get it. I have not got 4g once since flashing this new radio. I've toggled 3g/4g and rebooted, but still only 3g. I may go back to the MR2 leak if I can't get LTE back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
I kept losing data altogether with the OTA radio, AND the battery life was worse, back to MR2 for me! (running bafm 1.8.6)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
4g goes out alot more than mr2.5 did, i also just got my first random reboot last night. i hope we get a 100% stable radio soon, this is getting tiresome.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakkzen:
This is why I wait a few days to see all of your posts. Glad I never flashed this. I will stick with mr2.5
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
mr2.5 was better on 4g signal but i still had random power offs. i just cannot understand why htc/verizon cannot get this right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Not understanding something. Flashed the new radio. Have used it for about a week. Not liking the battery life. Want to falsh the orginal MR2 radio. Put the file on the root of the SD card. Made sure it was named correctly (PRG05IMG.zip).

When I power off, power back on and hold the volume down, it goes into Hboot. It used to ask me if I want to update. Now it just goes to the Hboot menu and doesnt ask if I want to update. Am I missing a step here? How do I get this to want to update so I can flash the old radio back?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itsmejson:
I see your problem... you have the zip file spelled wrong lol :)

PRG05IMG.ZIP ---> PG05IMG.ZIP

make the spelling change and try again

so far i like this new radio.

I'm on bamf 1.8.6 and I just got 22hrs (uptime) off of the stock battery before it completely died.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
not liking this radio at all... Or maybe its just the TB in general...

On Friday, went to DMV with my wife to update the address on our driver licenses... Sitting next to each other, she had 3G, almost full bars and fast data speeds surfing the web with her Incredible.

On my TB, I had no "G's", just bars, and no data. Using the new mobile settings option, I selected CDMA only... I got 1X and "just bars" and again, no data. Even when I showed 1X I couldn't hit web pages.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wooddale:
There is another radio out called MR2.75 but I think it is the same as this one I tried bothg same for me Im in 4G sig area always there had a hard time in Wisconsin but in woods hardly got 1X.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawa5636:
Dude, you rule. Thanks for catching the spelling. Duh.

Think I will stick with the new radio for a bit longer. I had it on 4g most of last night (usually on wifi) and it did pretty well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itsmejson:
:) glad you were able to get it to update.

- yeah definitely give it a few days.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
This has been the best radio for me overall. I'm in Phoenix fwiw.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] usafle:
Dumb Noob Question:

It states "THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR MR2 BASED FROYO/GINGERBREAD ROMS"

Well where do I go to check for that? I am running BAMF G.B. ROM and I don't see a "MRx" anywhere listed in "about phone"...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iviustang50h:
If it's a newer BAMF GB rom it'll work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] usafle:
Where is the current radio listed? Baseband version?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
I'm pretty sure this one is the 627r radio. Here's my about page...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
It would be useful to make a list of the Baseband Versions that correspond to the different files posted in the wild. The only labels I ever see are MR2 or MR2.5, but there seem to be more than 2 radio files out there.

For example, my Baseband shows 0508w, 0510w_3.

Is this the "official" MR2 release? Should I consider updating to the MR2 file in the OP?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] usafle:
This didn't work for me. My baseband now shows as "unknown" and I have no cell signal. Running BAMF 1.8

Going to have to try other radios on here as I didn't make a freaking backup before I flashed this damn thing. My fault.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] s00paSold3r:
I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
i actually dont like the higher numbered build. the 508 and 510 have been the most stable to me. The new v1.7 cooks my phone doing nothing. Didnt like it went back and its running good again. Never bricked. Always good service
[Thunderbolt Android Development] s00paSold3r:
I am trying to load the ROM with CWM. I did however notice something in recovery its says:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

It says this as soon as CMW starts running

[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshw0000:
Edit. I didn't read before responding. Disregard.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] s00paSold3r:
It is now running ok, I got a radio question. Are we suppose to have two radio's under baseband? I flashed this latest .627 and now in the baseband it says unknown...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
I went ahead on tried them all. Neither MR2 in this thread nor MR2.5 were any good at all with data. I'm in a rural area and need reliable data on 3G and 1X. Those radios are terrible with data. I've been running the new 704 leak, and although it's a battery hog it has been very good with data. Unfortunately, I just had my first random reboot in quite a while. So I'm thinking of flashing back to 508 and 510. Do you know where I can find that older radio file?

EDIT

Found all the old radios here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
I had a complete shutdown on the 704w radio today. It may have been the kang bang cfs .9 kernel with lagfree governor as thats new for me as well.

Then I went out to the post office and the whole phone got so hot I wound up reverting back to 627r while waiting in line lol.

Its my 1st shutdown/reboot ever and I've had the phone since release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew8806:
Yes it works with MR2 CM7

Just flashed to CM7.1 RC1.2 MR2 and this radio is working fine so far. Will update any bugs I find. So far getting same 3G speeds/signal. Not in a 4G area but I'm sure it'd work fine. GPS problems with CM7.1 still persist.

Can't see any real reason to flash this over MR2 or MR2.5 as of yet.
