I just flashed this and works ok to me even improves wifi connection on official aosp 1.6r2 and superd d i think all roms are the same with this radio image

Rumor: There was a blackberry outage yesterday for t-mo. Possible not working for g1 now?

IDK. Still waiting for the SIM to update. T-mo rep said it could take a couple hours.
[G1 Android Development] vietnamurl1:
I just flashed this and works. Good for wifi and receive all and call
[G1 Android Development] DrKaufee:
flashed yesterday and everything seemed fine, realize totoday that i cant send texts, i can recieve texts and i even got a voice clip. internet and email are both working fine still.

Any idea guys?

i tried reflashing my rom (but didnt wipe first) but to no avail.
[G1 Android Development] dorandroid:
hotweiss, will I brick my phone if i try to flash it to my Magic 32A?

Anybody?????????? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] tsnow247:
Update: Turns out I jacked something up with the "testing" program. I saw something about it earlier in this thread. You push *#*#4636#*#* and it opens up the program...

Not sure what I did wrong, but I jacked something up in there that made me loose 3G.

So I just flashed my backup (BART from Amon_Ra works great every time!) and I'm back in business.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING. You never know when you're going to need it. Also keeping a current backup is a good idea too. :D
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
im pretty sure it is a bad idea to flash on to the 32A

can i assume the 32A magic is similar to the 32A dream in that it uses at&t bands instead of tmobile bands?

if this is the case - flashing this radio will likely **** up your phone
[G1 Android Development] DrKaufee:
Can not for the life of me get sms sending to work.

too bad, i guess its time to go back.
[G1 Android Development] wendellc:
Does the radio affect GPS?
[G1 Android Development] DrKaufee:
SOOOOOOOOO....

tried wiping everything, then flashing radio, then letting it reboot, then flashing rom, reboot, doesnt work.

then tried wiping everything, flashing old radio, letting it reboot, then flashing rom, reboot, STILL doesnt work.

everything else is working, just cant send sms.

i hit send and it immediately says that id did not send.

only started happening RIGHT after i flashed the new radio. please guys, any ideas???
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
working perfectly fine over here :D
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
Did you try reconnecting to the network? I know, sounds simple. Also you might try flashing a different ROM, maybe with Cyan's updated APNs. Otherwise, your case is something I have yet to come across.
[G1 Android Development] DrKaufee:
Alright I finally figured it out. It had erased my SMSC (figured thst out using *#*#4636#*#*) and i entered +12063130004 and it worked again. no idea why/ how it got deleted but there ya go!

and thanx for the help none the less
[G1 Android Development] cedricberger:
I flashed the new radio on my French Magic (SFR).

Not sure if it makes a real difference, but yes, looks like it shows more bars than before.

Though I can't tell if connection quality is better.

Anyway, where I work, I think data connectivity sucks mainly because of saturated antenna. I still have close to no data connection, though it usually connects to GPRS, even with solid 4-5 bars...
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

DO NOT FLASH THIS ON A 32A MAGIC

I took the plunge and I bricked my phone last night. Any ideas about unbricking my phone would be great.
[G1 Android Development] brentlacydotcom:
Radio Update = No Market?

Solution found...

If you flash this radio update and have webguard on your account, your market app is blocked. Slideme works, android market not.

If you want the Market you have to call TMO or login to Mytmobile and remove webguard. wait up to 4hrs and power cycle the phone....

FYI...
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
Wow. That's a very strange situation. I'll add this to the OP.
[G1 Android Development] pdubs10:
I've noticed that I have not been receiving one of the most irritating errors that my phone has ever gives to me. Usually, about once or twice a day, my phone would go through a period where, although it had 3-4 bars of service, it would absolutely refuse to send a text message until I rebooted it (and even then it wasn't guaranteed), returning "Unable to send message" or a similar error message. Since this radio update I haven't gotten this error once. Now I know that correlation does not mean causation, but seeing as this seemed like a radio issue to begin with, I'm hopeful that this is the case.
[G1 Android Development] heybobitsme:
Wow! I don't see those speeds with speedtest! It thinks I'm in Kansas when I'm on the west coast! And I've tried both radios! Lol

Btw, if anyone would like to pm me about how to fix the location issue with speedtest, I'd appreciate it. I've tried both the app and tethered on the website.
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
It's hard to imagine that you did this test immediately before and after flashing the new radio, without moving your phone, due to the 4 hour time lapse. I feel like that's the only fair way to do a before and after, as when you move the phone you change what's between it and the cell tower. Hell even if you leave it in place and wait 4 hours, there could be less traffic/a train could have moved out of your way etc. Too many variables.

<edit> actually I'm gonna go ahead and say you doctored those photos. If you zoom in on the status bar you can see a lot if grain to the right of the 3g icon and to the left of the voicemail icon. In between though (where the WiFi icon goes), magically, there is no graininess. Just smooth white.

Flashed Radio on Dream using Danger SPL

I haven't noticed any problems with text, calling or any other network function.

Been texting all day with my friend.

Rom is Open Eclair v1.2.2
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
No way thats 3G Ive been in the same city, went to school there, and thats not 3G no where near.. try below 1000kbps ... And I love that they are a day apart not 4 hrs, 8:22*PM* 12:02*PM* .. don't feed the trolls
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
ok, fair enough, not doctored photos,

first one was representative of the speeds i used to get at the starbucks on s. howard avenue in tampa, fl

the first speedtest was done two weeks ago, about a week before i installed the new radio

second one was done at the same exact location, but a different time of day, and its the fastest speed i got after about three other tests in the 2800-3100 range

I am not making this up. Just reporting what I found. Personally, I don't know which of the speedtests to really trust, this one, xtreme, or the iphone speedtest i found once.

whatever...so thats the rest of the story. maybe not a truly scientific test, but i NEVER got speeds over 3000 before the new radio

coincidence, perhaps..useful info? thats up to you
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
whens the last time you were there, at that location, anyway? check it out, i am not making it up...the speed there is sometimes crazy fast and its not wifi (their wifi blows)

i have no reason to make this stuff up
[G1 Android Development] Super Jamie:
Noticing a pretty big difference on my Magic with this new radio.

My work is half a floor underground and usually I get the smallest bar of 3G coverage, if any. With the new radio I'm getting 2 or 3 bars.

Awesome update.
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
finally flashed today to new radio...i really enjoyed it..noticed full bars in my house now and speedtest shows better 3g but those always fluctuate no problems so far tho
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Did this yesterday and have noticed better call quality and faster 3G speeds. Excellent find OP.
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
Lost Internet, False

OK, strange things.

First in my Office, always has been no reception. Today, I see I have Four bars but internet( No 3G, no 2G).

So I rebooted the phone where I know it had 1-2 Bars before and I got 2 bars and 3G. Then I moved back to my desk and... Four bars, no internet.

There's no way I am getting four Bars, but it does explain the no internet. Also I called myself and it went right to Voicemail, but I can call out, but it's sounds poor.

I have no idea what the problem is, but it's very strange.

Once I get to a safe location, I'm going back to the old radio and try to investigate more.

Update: Problem still in old radio ending in 2.22.19.26I.

Update #2: It seems to be my Theme, I reflashed CM4.4.15.1 and reception is functioning normal. Will reinstall new Radio 2.22.23.02 and report results.
[G1 Android Development] death1246:
im doing it seeing as one of my mytouch3g's decides not to connect to 3G and stay on it :\ (became unstable for some ****ing reason)

Im getting a replacement for this phone so I will do it and hope it works after :P

cant cancel the replacement comming though :\ great....

[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
Any ideas yet as to whether or not this could post a problem when flashing certain roms? I remember someone in a very early post worrying about something to do with DangerSPL (which I have).
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
it is unlikely death/danger spl will EVER cause rom flashing problems unless its a pre-cupcake rom with a radio downgrade included
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
Say I want to unroot my phone. Is this a situation in which I'd have to first downgrade my SPL? I guess that's not really a radio problem though is it?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
if you downgrade to a older radio and you have dead spl you'll be bricked

xx-xx-xx-26I and xx-xx-23-02 radios work fine with dead spl as dead spl doesn't support an older radio
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
If you want to unroot....I just did this 10 mins ago.

Copy the dreaimg.nbh or whatver its called to the root of your sdcard. This one file will set your radio/spl and rom all back to stock original. Make sure that the sdcard is formatted to Fat32 only.

Camera + power then it will scan for it once it finds it it says to press power to cancel or action (trackball) to update.

Press trackball, let it do its thing. Reboot when it says and wait wait wait...then your in to old fashioned android land.

OTA Update to 2.22.23.02 on a G1

I've been running with the new radio image for a few days and it's working well. This morning, my wife's stock G1 received the radio image update from T-Mobile USA over-the-air. The version is identical, except for having an "H" where mine has a "U" in the first part of the string.
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
Radio 2.22.23.02 works perfectly

Ok problem solved. The Theme I was using was causing my phone to read 4 Bars when there are none. Very strange, but it has nothing to do with the Radio.

Radio 2.22.23.02 works perfectly as advertised.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
u=umts; h=hspa
[G1 Android Development] Neckhole:
Would anyone please be able to tell me if I'm able to apply this updated radio?

My Baseband version reads 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.229 and I'm running CyanogenMod (4.2.15.1)

It seems for the most part, everyone I've read that's successfully applied the update have been running much newer versions of the radio than I do.

Thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Confirmed. Unrooted my G1 and upgraded my phone all the way to 1.6

New update came over the air (9mb) and it was the new radio. Has a "H" in front of the 2.22.23.02 instead

of the "U".

Now here comes the interesting part...my call quality/clarity is superb now....I didn't really notice a difference with the radio posted in here.....but also

it might be the fact that I was on custom rom/spl before and now I am stock.

So...might be something to try out....if I knew how to extract the radio from my phone(unrooted) I would.
[G1 Android Development] jmccros:
I believe this is accurate for G1 but for MT3G

Tmobile mytouch 3G

I can also confirm that this has been sent to my girls stock G1. I've had this one posted here since day 3 and everything is working just fine
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
So are you going to root your device again? If so,do you have to downgrade the radio rom by chance? or you can root,change SPL with the version too?
[G1 Android Development] themetatron:
has anyone tried to match the build.prop from the rom this was ripped from? i inserted the mods from amon_ra build.sapphire.prop i've been getting faster dl and ul...just thought i'd share, just unzip and adb push
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Ever sincei did this a few weeks ago i have had the best signal ever.... Where i live i never used to get 3G at all. Now i get half or full bars at my house...:D:D
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
for the first time ever....i have a signal at my mums house

0 bars before...now 2-4 bars...3g is patchy here tho

atleast now i wont miss calls every time i visit her
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Well, I'm sold. My G1 definitely connects better to everything. 3g, 2g and BT. It connects much more quickly to my BT car kit. It gives the appearance of not disconnecting for a long time, but when I turn on my A2DP BT set, it has no problem switching over.
[G1 Android Development] raphy3:
How are you guys getting tmo to stop nagging you to apply their official OTA update once you have the radio from this thread installed?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
if youre rooted, i dont think they send you or you dont receive the OTA....i think....
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yeah I didn't get any notification for an update.
[G1 Android Development] raphy3:
I'm using enom's official rooted tmo build, so typically that one does get update nags unfortunately. Have to figure out how to get rid of that.

There is a solution to stop the update notification in Enom's thread.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Actually it's not correct. Downgrading to older radio with Haykuro's (or so called Death) SPL will cause a brick, and by older, I mean the one that was shipped with RC33, can't remember the number ATM. If you're using any other SPL you should be fine. And you should be just fine downgrading to the Donut radio with any SPL. I would test it on my spare G1 but I left it at my folks' house. If it's still relevant tomorrow I'll go and get it and flash radios back and forth. Good find, OP.
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
The problem with downgrading your radio was that the older radios before .26I weren't compatible with the Death SPL.

To answer your questions:

The new radio works perfectly with Death SPL.

You can downgrade from the new radio to the old .26I radio with no problems.

I just did both on my own G1, no problems at all.
[G1 Android Development] TCDroid:
Cool i think I'm gonna flash away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
that would be the "certain rom". I think there is a high chance of brick.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
did you downgrade WHILE STILL RUNNING death?
[G1 Android Development] coltfoet5:
Flashing as I type. I am a little nervous.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
ok so we just load to sdcard and flash like a rom? i am scared to do it so.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
just did it with death SPL it's fine. Just Do It!:eek:
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
Yes, I never reflashed the SPL.

Why does that matter?

In case this is what you're getting at:

I just re-flashed the Death SPL with the new radio installed (never downgraded SPL, though). No problems.

As someone else said, the reason that the Death SPL only works on the 26I radio or higher is because it's a Magic SPL and it was MADE for those radios. It's forward-compatible with new radio images, just not backwards compatible to ones before 26I.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
So what's it supposed to do?

I'm hesitant, but far from scared....replacing or getting a new phone is no big deal....but I just don't want to right now.

Think I'll wait a little bit longer, I've been seeing good results so far, but got a feeling by tomorrow someone is going to be posting that they have a brick in their hand.:)
[G1 Android Development] TCDroid:
ALL is well :D wiped, radio, spl, OE fixed eXT upgraded.2 ext3 and WOW It booted extremely fast for a full wipe :):D
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
I think the OP's handle is ironic (even w/ the difference in spelling) ;)
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
ok so do i need to reflash the spl with this or do i just flash the radio and then reboot? i need step by step here. i want to do this but dont want to F it up
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
guys It was a combination of radio and SPL not flashed in correct order that bricked devices I have flash radios tons of times with cyanogen roms. Dont worry it is fine.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
just the radio.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
so just flash this and your done then is that what your are saying
[G1 Android Development] TCDroid:
it booted faster than usual after wiping and flashing, plus my signal strength is better:D OP your awesome for posting this :D
[G1 Android Development] TCDroid:
What i did was wipe, flash new radio, flash danger spl again, then flashed OE.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
alright then, I guess I'll try it...I'm running danger SPL....took balls to flash that to be honest, so a new radio should be a breeze, lol
[G1 Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
This is the same baseband version that came on my MT3G 3.5mm (or 1.2 as it's sometimes referred to).
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
has anyone tried rooting their phone using this radio? believe i just bricked my phone using this. 3rd g1 i've rooted, 1st brick and the only thing i did differently was using this radio?
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
Just wanted to add my results to the mix, installed and everything is working just fine.

I have been following this thread for a while now, but was reluctant to flash this image. But the last few days, I have been having network problems with Tmo. I am in a 3g area, but my signal has been fluctuating a lot. I was also having data continuity problems where I could establish connection, but dl's would stop and freeze, or not initialize.

Upon flasing this radio, my connection seems strong as it was, but is remaining strong. I have not noticed the increase in speed through wifi, my wifi signal is exactly the same as it was before the updated radio. But my data connection to Tmo is much more consistent.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
The new radio only enhances call clarity....it does not affect your wifi (and no radio ever will lol), nor does it affect your data speeds.

Most people are going to have more bars on there phones...and that is it really.

NO 3G SPEED INCREASE, I REPEAT, NO 3G SPEED INCREASE (Placebo yes)
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I am pullin for ya...

If I were you I would get in contact with haykuro and ask him if there is any reason why the newer radio wouldn't work with the spl. I really don't think you should be bricked....because this new radio still starts with 2.22.

Did you happen to hold camera + power and see what kind of board is in the phone? PVT?

I just read in the Death SPL thread in the original post that the new radio is in fact compatible.

"First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640535

1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card."

Like I said in your other thread...I highly doubt you bricked your phone.
[G1 Android Development] lbingham:
Kind of hard to help you out if you don't mention at what point you found yourself stuck and some more details. Was it right after you flashed the radio? What SPL are you using?
[G1 Android Development] Bond007mgm:
When is someone going to post a link for the USA version of this radio?

I know that the "H" is the USA version and if it has a "U" its the european version...

T-Mobile USA uses a HSPA network thats why its a "H"

T-Mobile UK uses a UMTS netowrk thats why its a "U"

This is why I am asking, so basically everyone is using the UK version right now including me, its working but I'm starting to hear on multiple forums that the "h" version is working better for them.

This is also why everyone that has the offical update is getting a "H" instead of a "U" and thats also why you can't manually update to it, if your running the offical release.
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
got as far as flashing the danger spl. never had the opportunity to flash any Rom. phone is staying at the g1 screen. won't go to recovery or fastboot. didn't do anything else different but the radio. its a brick.
[G1 Android Development] Bond007mgm:
You need to flash a new rom after flashing spl and a new radio then it should work, and make sure you do a full wipe.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yeah...I agree with this completely...we need the H version.
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Hey guy's just wanted to share this. I have a MT3G and if I edit my build.sapphire.prop file to this "ro.ril.hsxpa=1" my radio magically changes to the "H" version when I check it under settings-->about phone. Interesting Yes??
[G1 Android Development] Bond007mgm:
Maybe it is determined in the rom, Im confused now..
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Okay I think this explains the EU vs. US radio stuff. Read the first post!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595108&highlight=faster+3g

I think that if?? another radio image exist's that is truly an EU version it wouldn't work properly on our US phones. Here in the States atleast with T-mobile we use the 1700mhz band for 3G. Over in Europe they use a different band and most likely the radio images would not be interchangeable. If that were the case I would buy a HTC Hero today and flash that puppy and see 3G but sadly that doesn't work. :(
[G1 Android Development] heybobitsme:
I remember that thread. At the time, it seemed to help everybody's throughput, U.S. and EU alike. But that was before T-Mobile upgraded to HSPA.

Have you run any tests?
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Unfortunately I don't live in an area where they've upgraded to HSDPA+ yet. The only difference's I see this radio has brought is better "reception". No speed increase's or anything of the sort. Speed increases of any magnitude can only come from the provider in my case T-mobile.

[EDIT..Simple Test] Speed Test.net app results are identical with either setting in build.sapphire.prop
