Here is the RIL for the new radio from the Chinese OTA. It will mount /system for you so you don't have to worry about it.

Update: Moved RIL to Dev-Host to save space on the XDA servers.

HTC-RIL_4.0.0024HMQ.zip
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
really thank you for your help, but, i'm trying to use the 3.12 firmware, it seems have not the warming effect.. seems.. i don't know if i could use that radio with 3.12 firmware.. it may brick my phone.. i suppouse :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I don't believe that this radio would brick your phone if you had the 3.12 firmware. It might or might not work as well as another radio, but if it is cleanly flashed then it shouldn't brick.

Why are you trying to use 3.12 firmware instead of 3.32? I think 3.12 was for the ARHD 5.x series ROMs? I am pretty sure the latest version ROMs, ARHD and others, won't boot with the older firmware.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
i'm using a porting of oneS, and it boots well with 3.12 firmware

ok radio must work even i have old hboot?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
There were some exceptions I remember reading in the thread where people couldn't get a combination to work, but I don't recall the specific ones. I think it might have been at the GB-to-ICS transition and all the ICS radios will work with any ICS firmwares and ROMs though. The issues might have been more related to the hboot version now that I think about it, as long as you are on 1.23 or 1.27 it should be fine. If you were on hboot 1.17 then you might have more issues. No problem anyway in that it would not cause any damage or permanent problems, you just might not get signal and the fix would be to flash a different radio/RIL.

I have also noticed that I usually have to pull the battery for a few seconds to really get the radio I flashed to work properly. Even rebooting a couple times doesn't seem to do it, after I pull the battery then it seems to work correctly.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
Flashed it on firmware 3.12

If you have overheating issue, try to use that firmware with last radio
[HTC Sensation] derekny:
thanks

just wanted to thank again, ive been running latest chinese ota ( although have tried a couple radio/ril from your thread) so far this one seems best for me. thank you again for your patience, and help guiding me through the steps.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Very good to hear that, I am glad it worked out well. :D Are you also using the rcdata.img patch for TMOUS users from the first post with the matching edit in build.prop? It has reportedly helped improve data transfer speeds for a number of people.
[HTC Sensation] derekny:
IAM currently using the rcdata "3".....do you have link to "how" to do this again?

I have the files already.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Here are the instructions. I went back and updated that post as well to make it more clear.
[HTC Sensation] slavislavi:
Already flashed Radio 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2 / RIL 4.0.0024HMQ.

Works on T-Mobile Poland. Can't compare speed/reception/battery life now.
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
@mf2112 - I normaly do not paly with Radio because of the sensivity of it and I am a noob. But few days back I realized that I normally have poor signal in my office. I was on a firmware thread and read the discussion of Radio file 11.69 and the procedure how to flash it. I flashed the radio succussfully and got little improvement in singals too. Today I was going thru your thread and read about RIL files to be flashed after radio file which I didn't. My question is: What RIL file actualy does? I flashed radio w/o RIL. Do I need to flash RIL and it will do some good to radio? And lastly need your advice. I am still not satisfied with signals of my phone. Which radio file I should test. Sorry for long story but will appreciate your advice. Thanks

P.S. My bootloader still show Radio 11.23 whereas I flashed 11.69 and I didn't find radio details in About Phone. Does it show with different name there?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Well, you can think of the radio as like a firmware in Windows terms, and the RIL is like a driver. So you need both.

Not sure if the radio actually flashed for you or not, the bootloader will frequently show the wrong version. Try checking under Settings, About Phone, Software Information, More, and look at the baseband version.

Even though you didn't flash a RIL, you will have one since every ROM comes with one. I would suggest verifying the radio version and if it did flash, then download and flash the matching RIL package through recovery. For radio 11.69, you need HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ to match from the first post.
[HTC Sensation] derekny:
will editing the cid# change the md5sum?
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Can a different/newer radio+Ril improve the in call audio quality?
[HTC Sensation] derekny:
dont believe it has anything to do with audio....more to do with signal strength and data speeds.
[HTC Sensation] purplevike:
Question for mf2112, (or anyone else who might have an answer)

I'm seeing a discrepancy with the md5 for RIL 4.0.0024HMQ. I've downloaded the file twice and still incorrect. :confused:

Can you verify your posted information?

"radio.img MD5: C022B0E795D4A519B7436CB3E7A07C49"

This is not what I'm showing...

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I did not do MD5 checksums for the RIL files since they are not dangerous like the radios. There are two MD5 checksums listed, the first is for the PG58IMG.zip file and the second is for the radio.img file.
[HTC Sensation] purplevike:
Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing me up.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmm, I don't believe that a radio/RIL change would affect that at all. You might check mudhi's thread for more info and a method to boost the volume if necessary. I think he also has something in there about AGC, that might be helpful perhaps.
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
Thanks for your reply. I flashed latest radio 11.72 with corresponding RIL file but the singal is not very positive. Is it safe to try different radios/ril. Is it possible that older radio file may produce better signal for my region?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Surre, you can flash a different radio/RIL pair. If you are on ICS ROM, then I would suggest staying with an ICS radio/RIL. You should be able to flash any of the ICS radios/RILs. No way to know about signal in your area without trying it, but it shouldn't hurt to try all the ICS radios and see which one works best.
[HTC Sensation] eicodi:
Hello, I have a problem with the 3G connection, the phone does not detect the 3G network in certain areas of my country (Uruguay), where my operator uses the 2100 and 850 bands.

I tried several ICS radios and have not had luck.

I think the problem is that one of these two bands are not the ICS radio is using.

HTC Sensation (cid: 11111111 - mid: PG5813000) ROM: ordroid 3.0.2

radio: 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2

RIL: HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ

What else can I try?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Hmm, at this point we have 5 ICS radio/RIL pairs to choose from. If the current one is not giving you good signal then try the others. The latest one is not always the best obviously.

[HTC Sensation] eicodi:
Thanks, I know the new is not always the best. All these radios handle both bands? ... as How can I verify that my phone works wich RIL?

Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Not sure if all radios handle both bands, sorry. The best way I have found is just to try it. There are enough variations between phones and cell towers and the random interaction of subatomic particles to make it impossible to predict. There should not be any harm in trying any of the radio/RIL pairs, just that some may work better than others. I have used each of these radios at various times, and in fact I am using the latest Chinese OTA radio now.

One thing I do each time I switch radios now is to pull the battery after flashing the radio instead of just doing a reboot. It seems to me that the new radio didn't seem to work well sometimes with just a reboot or even a power off.
[HTC Sensation] eicodi:
Ok, thanks. Me too, I'm using the latest Chinese OTA radio.

Is there any way to see which RIL works on my phone? So verify and test well with other RILs.

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Isis111:
I can see that you've done an amazing amount of work and I've read every bit of the above discussion. I've flashed and am currently on 3.32.401.105_R firmware version.

I've run Smartdroid's ICS rom; DarkForest ICS rom both full sense and hybrid, LeeDroid ICS rom. No matter what Rom I flash I seem to be unable to send text messages and while the phone rings when I pick it up people cannot hear me. I am making the wild assumption that it isn't the Rom's fault but might be the radio.

There are several different radio's available or your thread for Tmous users. I'm not sure I understand how to select the one I need. Beyond that I'm curious if you think the issues I'm having on my Sensation 4g is about the radio or if you think I'm pursuing the wrong solution??? Thanks in advance for you help
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Any of the RILs should work just like any of the radios. It is important to match the RIL and radio for best results. For instance, if you flash the 11.72 radio, then flash the 4.0.0024 RIL. If you flash the 11.68 radio, then flash the 4.0.0012 RIL to match. If you have mismatched radio and RIL, then likely you will get poor signal and higher battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Appreciate the compliment, but not necessary to quote the whole first post. :D

Normally with the newest ICS ROMs, you are recommended to flash the latest firmware. The firmware comes with a radio, and the ROM comes with a RIL. You should be able to try any of the ICS radio/RILs with an ICS ROM, some may work better than others.

The TMOUS specific stuff is not actually a radio, but a customer radio add on. You can flash one of the two DisH packages and match the build.prop value as stated in the link at the top of the first post and it could help your data transfer speeds.
[HTC Sensation] ST4LKER:
Same speeds here in NY, the problem is in a very HIGH ping...it makes all voip apps useless! Anyone with lower ping, please share your setup...

Thnx
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Not sure which radio you are using, when I switched to the very latest radio/RIL from the Chinese OTA my ping times went down quite a bit.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I just switched to the latest radio/ril combo as well and my speeds increased noticaebly. I also did the dish3 update as well. I have a question about that though, I did the dish3 update, flashed a new rom, and then updated the radio and ril. Do I need to reflash the dish3 update again, or is it like firmware and will stay on the phone?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
The DisH3 update is like a firmware and will stay on the phone. Depending on the ROM, you might need to edit build.prop to make ro.ril.hspxa=3 to match. The ro.ril.hspxa line may appear twice in the build.prop file so edit both. I am actually pretty sure the last entry wins, but best to change both entries if present.

Edit: Also, if you reflash the ROM, you will need to reflash the RIL as well.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
So your tmobile data speeds are better with this Chinese ota radio? might try it since we are in the same hood :D
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I definitely noticed a small increase. Not huge, but enough to notice.

Reception issues on Coredroid latest on Sensation

Hi Folks

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. :)

I have a HTC Sensation with the latest Coredroid ICS rom (which is awesome btw) but I have crappy reception on the phone. Sometimes if I turn my head the call drops out.

I am with Vodafone in Australia (known for poor coverage) but I am in Melbourne 6km from the city so it should be better than it is.

Can someone suggest a Radio/RLL combination worth trying?

Many thanks
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you are on ICS then you should be able to try any of the ICS radio/RIL pairs from the first post. It seems like the new radio/RIL from the Chinese OTA have improved data transfer speeds for a number of people so far, including me.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Cool :cool: will try it...once the vino wears off :eek:
[HTC Sensation] ST4LKER:
Using the latest chinese OTA combo...Have applied DISH2 and DISH3, modded build.prop but my ping doesn't want to go under 150ms....My speeds are great,but the ping is what bothers me... can you post your speedtest.net screenshot, please?
[HTC Sensation] Waszker:
Poor signal. :(

Hi, I have one question: I don't know if it's fault of my rom/phone or mobile operator, but inside my house I have very poor signal (when standing next to the window) and no signal when taking the phone inside house.

When coming out the problem is resolved, I have excellent signal and the HSDPA is working perfectly.

What can this problem be related to?

I have: Radio 11.22.3504.07_M

and HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ

I'm on Virtuous ROM 4.0.2 (but hte problem was also on earlier versions).

I haven't checked other ROMs, but I don't like sense so there's not much to try :P

PS. I'm in Polish Play Mobile.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
It could be a lot of things but the most likely thing is that something in the walls of your house is blocking the cellular signal.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sure, this is the last set of tests I did right after flashing the radio and RIL. I already had DisH3 loaded. The 662ms ping result was using GSM. Also keep in mind that the latest radio is not always the best. One of the other ICS radio/RIL pairs might give you better results. Another thing I found is that after flashing a new radio, I usually have to pull the battery once afterwards to get it to full functionality. Just rebooting didn't seem to do it for me.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I have similar problems, I think this is why TMO has WiFi calling since they know their signals don't go through buildings very well. You might try a different radio/RIL pair. It won't totally fix the problem but results can vary with different radios and different phones in different regions.
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
:eek: I'm lucky if my ping is even 200ms! Lol, I'd love to get ~160ms while pulling ~10Mbps down you lucky ducks.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you aren't using the newest 11.72 radio/4.0.0024 RIL then you might try it. The DisH3 update also helped.
[HTC Sensation] vgpclife:
Can someone help me with my order of operations? I can't find a good thread that tells me each step and I seem to be having trouble booting past HTC startup screen. Here's what I was doing: 1) Flash radio.img via connection to PC. 2) That previous step boots you into bootloader, while there, I go into recovery and install zip for the RIL. 3) Also while in there, I flash my Tmo Hsp3 patch. 4) Clear caches 5) Reboot. Am I do something wrong here? I tried with the latest china radio, then stepped down to the before it and had the same results. Suggestions anyone?
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I would split things up and do the radio seperate from all the rest. Update the radio and make sure you delete the image file from the sd card before booting. The directions tell you to use adb but I do it this way (takes longer than the adb method but works for me):

-put the radio update file on the sd card, boot into bootloader and update.

-once the update is finished instead of saying yes to the reboot question, I take the battery out and take the sd card out, put it in the card reader of my computer and delete the file and then put the card and battery back in the phone and reboot.

I would update the radio first, make sure you can boot back into your rom, and if that is successful go back to bootloader and flash the dish3 tmous update.

After you are back in your rom-of-choice you can then go back to recovery and flash the ril file and whatever else you want.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Just to make sure, the TMO patch gets flashed in bootloader, not recovery. Also, did you edit the build.prop file for the ro.ril.hspxa= value as the link in the first post suggested? Your other steps should work fine.
[HTC Sensation] superman63:
ok there Geddy Lee! man that was still the best album ever written . made the switch and nothing noticable at first glance. still have dish3 on prop so will pull the battery, restart, and check back in in a couple of days
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
One of my all time favorites. :D I definitely noticed the battery pull making a difference for me when switching the radio to make it work the first time. Hopefully the new radio/RIL works well for you too!
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Which latest ICS based Radio/Ril should i flash if im on TMOUSA or should i stay with the one im using now?? Thanks

Btw im currently using the revolutionary s-off 3.32.401 fw and 11.69 radio
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
How does the 11.72 ICS radio work with ARHD? I'm currently on radio version 11.69. If I choose to flash 11.72 I don't need to do anything with the RIL I could just flash the radio correct? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I am generally a believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Since you are a TMOUS user, you might try the DisH3 update and build.prop mod. I am using that with the latest 11.72 radio and getting excellent results in my area, however, latest is not always greatest when it comes to radios so Your Mileage May Vary.

The new 11.72 radio works great with ARHD 6.6.2 and now 6.6.3. If you flash the 11.72 radio, I strongly advise you flash the matching 4.0.0024 RIL, else poor signal and high battery drain may result.
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Ok thanks. I'm currently running ARHD 6.6.3 XE. Would I flash the 11.72 radio and then RIL file? Or RIL first then radio? I am assuming I am going to flash this:

[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
When you boot into recovery, there is a object called 'mount and storage' click that, then mount system. Then flash ril file, reboot and you should have the correct version.

Im on Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 from the ARHD thread when I first started flashing. From that rom I am currently on the Virtuous rom with the same radio. Now with these different RIL's can I use the Tmo RIL with that radio?
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Hmmm...getting confusing since I grabbed my Radio from same thread mentioned, and running the getprop command I show HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ and it's dated July 8, and my radio version is exactly same as yours. I currently flashed InsertCoin 1.5 and no problems. Basically have had zero problems with just about every ROM posted here.
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
OK..I admit confusion on this.

My setup right now is:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ

Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3

Basically are Radio versions supposed to be match up correctly with RILs.

My confusion is from numbering. Seems 2.2.0159HMQ seems to be what is correct.

So should I be changing to the TMobile RIL listed at top of the thread here?

PG58IMG.zip

So im trying to flash back to Radio version 10.11.9007.15_M TMOUS

After flashing Radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01, which was recommended to flash the latest Insert coin 2.3.4 2.1 but i noticed a substantial difference in data performance, I getting annoying hang ups in data out-put..

so i tried flashing back to 10.11 via CWM and it seems that im stuck with 10.56

I tried mounting system in recovery, i tried renaming the file PG58IMG.zip and flashing in bootloader in the zip wouldn't parsh, again nothing!!:confused:

So what i guess my question is is there anyway to get the Radio version 10.11.9007.15_M TMOUS in PG58IMG.zip format so that i can falsh it in bootloader??

I'm on T-mo and running the latest radio with 2.2.0169HMQ.my speeds seem a bit slower.I'm wondering what's the best radio/RIL combo for tmus??!
[HTC Sensation] darwinmach:
Here's the RIL for the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M radio, pulled from the HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2 OTA update.

I'm using this radio & this RIL on TMOUS, haven't noticed speed degradation, but I've only been testing it for a few hours. Noticed lower pings though.

Exact version: HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ (Jul 8 2011,14:36:49)

If you guys can get me the RUU for 1.45.401.2 T-Mobile, or a nandroid backup of /system on a 1.45.401.2 tmo ROM, I can extract the RIL from there and see if they're the same or not.

[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
???? OP ???
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
We know where it is, what we're asking is if the new RIL supports/is for TMOUS specifically. It's not clear since it's in a new category all it's own, not under a specific carrier like all of the other RILs.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
The order doesn't matter, either way is fine. The only complication with flashing the radio first is that the PG58IMG.zip file on the root of your SD will make it slightly more difficult to get into recovery mode without using Quickboot or something like that, or you can boot an extra time after deleting the PG58IMG.zip file. Don't forget to check the MD5 checksum after copying the PG58IMG.zip to your SD before flashing it! :D

The radio being from China doesn't seem to matter. The current ROM base is actually from the last Asia update, and before that it was from the EU base. Hasn't been a TMOUS update since 1.72 GB unfortunately.
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Ok, awesome going to do it now. The RIL being from China is irrelevant considering I'm a US T-Mo user? I'm going to do the radio first when it's done I'm going to battery pull then put my SD card into laptop and delete the PG58 then put the SD card back into phone and boot into recovery and flash the RIL.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Radio and RIL being from China doesn't seem to matter, gotten reports from users around the world now that it seems to be better. That process will work, good luck!!
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Just flashed Radio and then booted into recovery. 4EXT is saying it started in safe mode and that I should format all partitions except sdcard because it cannot access cache partition. It says if you changed your hboot to formall all partitions except sdcard. Can I just wipe cache+dalvik and flash RIL and be ok?
