You're right. Dont know what the heck I was thinking about. OK, so 1.73, 1.85, and 1.88 should be up in a jiff. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
I have just flashed 1.85, and I has improved signal, amazing. And thank you very much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
The whole kitten caboodle is up now. (1.73,1.82,1.85,1.88)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
radios should be zipped for dl, that way they are indeed around 15mb

Edit: zipped in the op, thanks, disregard.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Lostwarriorram:
How do I know which radio I have?

My base band version looks like attached picture.

Would be great to have screenshots of various radio versions in OP for ppl like me as reference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
I was in a rush to get them all uploaded. I'll add all the baseband versions (possibly screenshots, too) when I have some more time tonight.

Yours looks like 1.82 at first glance. Your radio will be the one from the last RUU you flashed using the .exe file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Lostwarriorram:
Thanks. I was able to flash 1.85.

Quick question: I had unlocked bootloader, installed CWM ON 1.82. Installed 1.85 radio just now. Initial check shows that I am still rooted. Does this mean, I can flash radio, kernel & Rom in the future without worrying about root or relocking bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
Ok, I don't fully understand the implications of flashing different radios. I was originally on stock 1.73, then rooted, unlocked, and installed a custom recovery. Then I flashed CleanROM DE, based on 1.85. I then flashed the 1.82 kernel. So would I still be using the 1.73 radio since that's the only true RUU that I ever ran? And would flashing the 1.82 radio be safe for me?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Yes ;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Yes your still on 1.73 radio. As far as trying 1.82 shouldn't hurt anything but whenever flashing anything it's always a safe bet to create a nandroid backup prior to flashing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
1.88 is by far the best, I have tested them all, and 1.88 gave me the fastest most consistent speed. Just wondering if anyone else have given it a try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EoinCuinn:
Flashed the latest (10.94)

Slight improvement on speed, time will tell on power. Early indications point to it being worse.

huh since when? every device ive had flashing different radios have affected wifi power or performance in some manner.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] daddioj:
Really? Hmm News to me. no matter what i flashed radio version wifi has always stayed the same. i thought that were 2 sep ent.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
I'm by no means a pro at all lol I could be seriously wrong. But by flashing the latest radio I no longer have odd wifi drops... More bars farther from my router etc....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshdmiller:
Yeah, that's what was weird. I re-added all of the accounts and now I get random sync issues with Google+. The timing was probably a coincidence.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Does anyone know why we don't have the matching ril files for the radios?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] daddioj:
i just came here to ask the same thing lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
Wouldn't including them screw stuff up in aosp roms? (and if the ril doesn't match the ROM base, won't that screw stuff up too?)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Don't use it then. Myself and others would like to have the correct ril for the radio we're running at the time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
It was more of a question than a statement. I guess what I'm saying is what's the advantage to having a matching ril for the baseband?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] urmothersluvr:
I asked this question earlier with no response so here it goes again. Anyway to flash a radio to get T-Mobile 3G to work? Maybe a radio from the one s
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
Do ATT and TMO use the same bands? If so, it should just be apn settings that need to change, no?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slippers67:
A few people have already tried this in the Q&A section. The One S radios flashed fine (as far as they could tell), but didn't provide HSPA on T-Mobile's network.

According to HTC's One XL product page (and specifically mentioned in the AT&T One X review on Anandtech), the One XL does not support AWS for WCDMA, so there is no possible way to use it at anything above EDGE on T-Mobile. Some people seem to think that when T-Mobile starts upgrading towers to use the 1900 Mhz WCDMA band instead of 900 Mhz WCDMA (which the One XL lacks), HSPA may work, but that remains to be seen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
1.73 ATT radio (stock) is still giving me better performance. ive tried them all. i find that a bit strange, anyone else? im in florida btw
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] urmothersluvr:
The at&t and rodgers one x have the same lte bands t-mo uses for hspa. People got 3G with the the at&t note using t-mo sgs2 radio. I think they modified the radio in some was but not sure
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slippers67:
LTE bands don't matter, since T-Mobile uses AWS WCDMA for HSPA. The Note has the proper hardware with all of the necessary bands for HSPA on T-Mobile. The One XL does not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I believe what you mean to say is that it has yet to be seen whether the One XL has the hardware available.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
RIL is akin to the driver for the radios. Flashing the radio is like updating the firmware. Matching RIL to radio has always been recommended. RIL, radio interface layer.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Interface_Layer
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slippers67:
Currently HTC's website says that the One XL does not have the proper frequency, and Anandtech's review confirms this, stating that while the Qualcomm MSM8960 supports every air interface, the phone is missing the specific AWS CDMA band to make use of T-Mobile's current HSPA network.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/7

Additionally, flashing the One S radio has not "unlocked" HSPA on T-Mobile, so it's reasonably safe to say that the phone does not actually support it.

Hopefully there's a chance that custom radio firmware might make it possible, but that's only if the hardware is there, and for all intents and purposes, this doesn't appear to be true.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Well this is interesting...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
I know what it is, but aren't the files in /system somewhere, where they'll get overwritten any time you flash a ROM? I'll yank them out and add them to the flashable zips when I get a free second.

Coming from the Samsung world, this was never really an issue (we just flashed the radio img).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zonk7ate9:
So is this RIL something we should wait for before flashing? Currently I'm on the stock 1.73 radio (0.16.32.09.19_2_10.79.32.08L), but I assume they release updated radios for a reason (like to address connectivity issues?).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
Up until this point, everyone was flashing them without the ril files. I probably won't get around to doing it until next week. Gotta re download all the ruu's, yank out the .so files, rewrite the scripts, and test. And I'm camping this weekend, so....I would just flash the existing one for now.

Also, different radios work better in different regions for a variety of reasons. You have to test and see which works best for you. Check out the map in the OP to see if anyone near you has posted up their results to possibly save you the trouble of testing them all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] an_xda:
Hi there, first time with tinkering my phone... Does it have to be rooted or anything in order to flash the radio?

Also, as a Rogers customer in Toronto -- I am looking to hopefully fix my ongoing WiFi problems by trying different radios, the first post recommends Rogers 1.88 but I cannot find the link in the OP. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Also - will I need to change the APN or what not if I install the AT&T radio or is it just a driver sort of thing and nothing needs to be configured for network access?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BIGMOH:
To flash the radio you need to have a custom recovery software installed on your phone either CWM or TWRP (both found under the development thread)... not a 100% sure if you need the phone to be rooted, someone will have to confirm if it's required, but to be on the safe side I'd get it rooted as it comes in handy.

Also the link is in the OP but i'll paste it here for your convinience.

In regards to APN's you should have to as all that's changing is the radio not the settings on your ROM ;)

Best of luck getting better speeds ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] an_xda:
Thank you for your help, very much appreciated.

Is there currently any unlocking method (I am on 4.0.3 and stock RUU) that will not brand my phone tampered, or do all unlocking methods do that? I do not want to void my warranty!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
4.0.3 is the Android version number. To determine which root method you'll need to use, look at the "Build number".

Currently if you unlock your bootloader, this WILL leave a trace. We need "S-Off" in order to scrub it clean, which we don't currently have.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] an_xda:
I see, so all root methods will show the tampered brand until I go back to stock, that's unfortunate.

My build number is 1.63.631.1 right now.

Has anyone done any testing with various RILs along with the radios? I remember the RILs being quite important back in the Windows Mobile 5/6 days.

I thin we'd benefit from having the RILs avaialble from each ROM along with the corresponding radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I remember the ril thing on Verizon. Does AT&T use them on their phones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
Every phone does. It's what interfaces the radio hardware with the software. It's effectively a driver for the radio hardware.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
Are you for real? Sense or not any iteration uses the ril.so....you should know this Mr.desire hd

CM9 while it's common you don't have to match a ril as it's usually stated which radio the rom was made for.. So you use the radio suggested. The minute you start changing radios you should be matching rils.

This has been a long on going debate. But after years of testing I'm a firm believer in ril matching.

As always ymmv.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
This says the baseband is 10.94.32.20 but thats the same baseband as the Telus radio that we've had... in fact its the same base as the Telus base too.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BlackRabbits:
One thing to note...I tried the 2.09 radio and found my battery life was suffering as others had reported. Digging into it I found that my phone was no longer entering deep sleep, which it had been doing on the stock Rogers 1.73 radio.

Anyone else able to confirm? Is this unique to my setup, or is this the actual cause of the poor battery life for others as well?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
Yes. You can flash these over any radio. The only difference between the original zips, and the new ones including RIL's is three files that are pushed to /system/lib from the corresponding base RUU.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paulk_:
Just to check (since I've never flashed a ril before) but since the ril is written to system, does this mean I should be flashing the ril every time I flash a new rom or new version of a rom?

TIA!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
That makes since. Or just when you flash a new rom, reflash your choice of radio that has the ril built in. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taylor.fowler:
Correct. Since the RIL files are in /system, you should reflash the radio zip after you update the ROM.

Has anyone tried the 1.85 with the ril on CleanRom 4.1?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Just tried 1.85, 1.88 and 1.91 w/RIL on CleanRom 4.1 SE.

Signal strength in the exact same location is about identical on 1.85, 1.88 and 2.09 w/1.91 Ril. 1.91 with RIL gives a slightly higher reading by a few dBm.

Not real scientific, and some people say to give it time to settle a new radio flash, YMMV. But here are the tests I ran back to back after flashing/wiping dalvik/cache each radio.

Starting at the bottom:

1.91 w/RIL 1:46am

Next two tests above are 1.88 1:53am 1:55am

Next two above that are 1.85 1:59am both

Back to 1.91 for 2 tests 2:04am 2:07am

2.09 with 1.91 Ril last 2 tests 2:12am both

1.91 is consistently giving 20mbps+ download and higher average upload also compared to any other radio on LTE for me. 2.09 w/1.91 are about the same as 1.85 and 1.88. Once I get the RIL for 2.09 , will test again.

Just flashed 1.91 back, gave me 20mbps or greater peak, not shown below, just did it to get back to where I was.

Overall in the big scheme of things, I doubt I would notice any performance differences during regular stuff with the phone though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:
I was previously using the 2.09 radio. Have you see any improvement with that radio and ril?

I tried the Asia radio and got an additional bar on my signal..now its 2 bars
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
do bars really matter if the dbm and asu are reading the same for signal strength? it SEEMS like i have an extra 2 bars now (i could have sworn i used to only have one, maybe its just my head screwing with me ) but the signal strength is the same
