LMAO Blue Jays? That was like in the 80s.

Blue Jays are completely out matched now.. Not to mention those Expos you had LOL.

Miller is a damn GREAT AMERICAN player.

So any sport besides Hockey.. yeah you guys don't stand a chance.

but congrats on the winter olympics.. the regular olympics.. well we all know who shines in that one between us

lets move on! :D
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
no dice, used latest amon_RA recovery image 1.6.2, still stuck on the ancient radio for some reason =[
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
remind me how many golds you guys got at salt lake? 10 was it?

how many we get in vancouver. 14. how many you get? 9?

odd.. seems we are better in alot of sports ;)

and for the record. 14 = most EVER by a country in the history of the winter olympics :D

btw, what happened in salt lake in the gold medal game, i cant remember...

wasnt it the same battle with the same ending? :P
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
Lol you're obsessed with gold..

But we broke our own record for most overall medals.

Something Canada can't/won't ever accomplish! :D

Radios is the 1 thing I hate messing with, going back to my ATT 8125 days, anyways Is it working for MyTouch 3G 32b users? and is it yet worth it?
[G1 Android Development] jaekwang:
Worked perfectly on a G1, no brick.
[G1 Android Development] themetatron:
just flashed, booted in less than 2 minutes, and now getting solid 3 bars 3g where used get 1 bar 3g or full edge.

speedtest.net app

~950kb/s dl ~500 kb/s ul

mobilespeedtest.com 2mb

~4360 kbps

don't get the difference between the tests, but an increase of ~100 kb/s dl and ul for speedtest.net app and ~1200 kbps increase for mobilespeedtest.com 2mb, compared to previous radio with amon_ra mt3g sapphire.build.prop edit. ran 3 test each, average for one location

edit: i haven't plugged in my phone, yet my battery level has gone up 24% to 46%, inductive charging?

thank you
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
silver and bronze just mean you werent good enough for gold :P

usa had a bunch of those. guess ur not quite good enough !

anyways we showed the world what we are made of and did good at it.

of course americans will be upset, gotta be first at everything!

im sure you just like great britian will ***** and moan and complain about canada winning. its what you do best :P

anyways im done in this thread, i asked a question and got a retard answer which turned into this. have fun bricking phones. ill keep my perfectly working 26I radio.
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
I have traditionally gotten very poor reception in my house, particularly in the room I'm in now. My phone would frequently lose its connection to the T-Mobile network, and was generally causing some annoyance.

Immediately after flashing this radio, my phone jumped up to full reception. It has dropped one bar since then, but it seems to jump back up to full reception on occasion. At first glance, this is a really useful update for owners of the G1/Dream in the US. Thanks to the OP and others for pioneering this.

The rest of the specifics on my setup are in my signature for anyone else who may be interested.

[G1 Android Development] potc01:
Hello,

my German G1 works well after radio upgrade on t-mobile net.

Reception seems really improved, the bars changed from a constant 2 to at least 3 and mostly 4. Connection quality is really better then before.

Phoneinfo now says Baseband Version:

62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02

Radio is safe

I took the Double Dare instead of the physical challenge :) Was a 'lil skeptical @ 1st... but hell, I've been that since discovering XDA some months ago. Anyway, I just wanted to report that my G1 didn't implode, explode, self destruct or under-go any form of nastiness. It still works... Thank Android :D

[G1 Android Development] em2drvr03:
use the other link for the sapphire radio
[G1 Android Development] azaroth666:
Ok so just to be clear this will not kill my G1, its should make the signal a little stronger, and i cant still do all the flashing and shuch that im so fond ov. so flash it or not?
[G1 Android Development] MattKilla:
I've seen a 10-15% in data transfer speeds here in Houston (I'm from California, on vacation at the moment).

Redio-2.22.19.26I

I think a couple of guys here said they have flashed the radio "one on voda UK and the other on GER".

I suppose it should be fine but I have not flashed a radio on my phone yet and a bit worried.

K.
[G1 Android Development] Skynet2Mainframe:
Ok i have just flashed the new radio. before i flashed i checked the signal

-101 dBm 6asu on 3G and after it was the same -101 dBm 6asu 3G havent checked speeds.
[G1 Android Development] founti:
just flashed it to my g1

results :

-57 dbm 28 asu before

-67 dbm 23 asu after

good improvement ;) During the Test the phone didnt change position.

p.s. Germany - O2 User ^^
[G1 Android Development] enricodg:
It's possible restore a nandroid backup (rom+ext.backup on old last radio) after flashed correctly this radio update or brick my g1? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] founti:
the chance to brick the device is not that high! we tested it with death spl, no problems ;)
[G1 Android Development] robbiekhan:
Only 1 bar improvement for me!
[G1 Android Development] Misiek_ud:
nadroid wom't backup your radio image, so also won't restor. If you'll get brick you won't able to go into recovery, so second answer is simple :D
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i can use this on an iphone, right?

sorry, couldnt resist....

tried it, works fine so far
[G1 Android Development] enricodg:
I don't say brick on update radio (i have flashed this update) but if possible brick on restore a previous nandroid backup. The nandroid backup copz the radio?

Afteq flash this radio i have a good improvement of voip calls with sipdroid :)
[G1 Android Development] enricodg:
Thanks i read now your post, because stay on g1... so i can restore nand backup without problems. Thanks... and sorry for my english.
[G1 Android Development] josevtome:
Updated!... G1 worked pretty well... will post any commets about functionallity tomorrow! :p but so far so good!
[G1 Android Development] grenness:
I have a G1 bought in USA in October 2009, but I'm using it in Norway.

I have it in a cradle on my desk, and didn't move it an inch during the radio flash.

Signal strength before radio upgrade:

-75 dBm 19 asu

Signal strength after radio upgrade:

-65 dBm 24 asu

I have no idea what these numbers mean, though... :-)
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
http://www.thenow1.com/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip

for those that need it
[G1 Android Development] Misiek_ud:
won't = will not

you can not use nandroid to restore radio

brick will not let you go into recovery mode and restore anything
[G1 Android Development] kar200:
Just an update for the Aussies out there, I just flashed the magic from vodafone and I am posting from it.

As for the performance, I wouldn't have a clue as I flash a different Tom everyday and don't monitor these things.

[G1 Android Development] jcampos:
just in case this can add a bit:

US-bought ADP1 working in Spain, Orange network, Haykuro's SPL, king's eclair 1.6.1... flashed and working right. Seems to get a bit more 3G/HSDPA signal but I can't really tell if it's a placebo effect or not.

However, the time it took to flash and reboot (twice) got 10% (went from 92% to 81%) of the battery drained. Will see if I can get more battery life from it in the coming days.
[G1 Android Development] SilkyPanda:
Aussie htc dream flashed from 26I running kings 2.1

all good - checked signal strength

before: -89dbm 12 asu

after -75dbm and 22 asu

So nice fair jump- will be interesting to see how these numbers equate to realworld benefits tho :)
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
OK my results are the following, new radio working fine with a better signal strength but it's not playing nice with Google Maps. I cannot install any version from Market and when I try to install Maps 3.4.0 via apk it installs fine but them FCs when I try to open it.

Anyone else having this trouble? all other apps seem to be working fine.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
signal strength -79dBm 17asu after update

unknown before update (forgot to check)

maps fine here
[G1 Android Development] phatmanxxl:
I flashed last night, everything is all good. I do notice a stronger signal in areas of my house that weren't so good before. Im roaming on At&t.
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
Flashed it on my New Zealand Vodafone Magic (32B). I also got an increase in signal strength, and haven't noticed any problems from a few quick tests.
[G1 Android Development] icegad:

Good looks op
[G1 Android Development] enricodg:
i don't want restore radio 26I. i already successfully installed last radio..

My question is if is possible to use nandroid restore backup my old apps and rom (suped 1.9.3) who i've done with old radio...I do not know if I explained well
[G1 Android Development] ianandamy:
Signal better here and wifi not having connection issues anymore yeah!
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
Yes the answer is yes,that is what I did today with SuperD-Blk-1.9.2,it went really smooth with no problems regarding the new/old radio.

Gmaps works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] Zei:
Everything on my end is working. SuperD1.9.3 w/Darkstar Theme
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
This good money right here. I don't know if it's a placebo effect, coincidence, or this updated radio but after intial flash I still wasgetting EDGE in my room so I thought new radio, same signal. I rebooted and it has been on the 3g the whole time. Knock on wood. And it definitely sped up the boot time. Good looking out. G1 with stock spl by the way.
[G1 Android Development] lamenomore:
Yes, You can use nandroid... :)

I just did that twice with SuperD 1.9.2, and CaNNoN202 eclair 1.2... ;)

It's all good, working excellent... :D

Btw. thx for the upload... ;)

Cheers ^^

Anyone else experiencing issues with Google Maps?:cool:

Peace
[G1 Android Development] benoitb85:
Just flashed on a french Dream, it seems OK. I can't comment on the signal quality: I'm roaming in Korea at the moment where I get full 3G signal everywhere (with the old radio and the new as well).
[G1 Android Development] wicked1lbc:
Last time I messed with radio's I bricked my phone. it would boot up into the htc screen then just stay there. so when I did this one and it booted into the htc screen I about **** myself. then everything werked out. but my palmes are still sweaty from the "OH MY GOD" reaction... lol
[G1 Android Development] dzasta:
just flashed with no problems at all.

before: -101dBm 6asu

after: -63dBm 25asu

went from 2 edge bars to full 4 bars. no 3g though but wasnt expecting to miraculously get 3g...
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
All is well here.. no real change in signal strength but no brick either.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
12 minutes on the HTC screen after flashing, is that normal?

edit: pressed home/power, went back to recovery, said writing radio image, went back to HTC screen, went back to recovery, pushed home/back, rebooting now.

Everything is normal, except I went from 0 to 2 bars all the way to 3 to 4 bars, roaming on AT&T.

Very cool, I live in a place that has no signal from any carrier. I have only been able to place calls using UMA, I can't believe I really have what looks to be reliable signal here in no cell phone land!!!
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
No.

I suggest that you hook up your USB cable and run "adb logcat" to see what (if anything) it is doing.

If it is doing NOTHING, try rebooting into RECOVERY.

And cross your fingers that you don't have a BRICK.

Your sig says you have the deathspl. It is known to have random effects. ***EVEN WITH RADIO IMAGE thought to be compatible (i.e. 2.22.19.26)*** it can STILL cause bricks!!!!
[G1 Android Development] :
Most definately not!

I'd try a reboot and see if you can get into fastloader or recovery.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
dBm explained

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm

in case anyone needed to know

as far as "asu", can't find a similar explanation yet
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
Thanks guys, I booted back into recovery, (edited my post and explained what I did in case anyone else experiences the same thing), and I am now getting four bars consistently, where I had 0 to 2 bars before. (Roaming on AT&T). Where I live, there are no carriers with coverage, but I can even walk around inside the house and not lose the signal. This is soooo cool!
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
Can someone experienced explain exactly what happens technically when a radio is being flashed and what things could possibly prevent the phone from accepting an update even though I get no errors while flashing?
[G1 Android Development] xftox:
google maps

What seems to be the problem with Google maps
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
I have noticed the increase in battery life, but I can't tell where it increased my data & signal like some people said it did for them..:confused:

Maybe I just haven't noticed, the web pages load fast and all but I can't say its because of the new radio or not, Anyway, overall..... calls do dial out faster and my phone rings right at half a ring on the incoming caller's end now, so no more 2-3 ring delay! That I can comfortably say is result of the radio, because I used switchrom back & forth to other builds.... even my old CM backups, and I recall with good memory a long lag in dialer/contacts as well as delayed ringing time on those builds...but it didn't do that with this radio, so hey, :cool:

works for me!
[G1 Android Development] bluenile:
works great, 3 bars in basement when before there were 0 :p
[G1 Android Development] Karboush:
asu explained

Asu is just another scale for signal quality.

It goes from 0 (worst, equivalent to -113dbm) to 31 (best, equivalent to -51dbm)

dbm=-113+2*asu

asu=(dbm+113)/2
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
If it doesn't error, then it must have CRASHED or the particular stop didn't include proper notifications.

If it didn't crash and didn't error, then it flashed.

Especially if it is still able to boot after flashing it.

Step 1: erase radio image.

Step 2: write new radio image.

Between the moment step1 is started, and step2 is absolutely completed, the device is very vulnerable. Any failure will brick the device.
[G1 Android Development] zoth:
Before flashing I have 3 bars, after 2 reboots me sitting at the same chair. Booted back with 4 bars. I have Danger SPL btw and Super D 1.93. Everything is fine.
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
wow. i am seating at work and just read whole thread, downloaded file, flashed it without leaving my chair and my 2 bars jumped to 4 bars on 3g.

went a bar down after a while, but still solid 3 bars.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
I hope you don't base all of your references, resources, and information off wikipedias Lol :D

They are not very accurate, far from scholarly sourced facts, usually just hear say....not saying whatever it is you linked isn't correct (don't know, didn't bother to click the link) but Im just saying be careful about some of the info you google up.

If you want real, non-debatable facts, you should only cite things like Books, Journals, Reports, News Bulletins and other things of that nature....

Blogs, Wikipedias, Webpages, Forums and Chat pages are all just transmitted opinions that formed into common knowledge after being passed along for some time, and therefore claimed as factual info. when about 60% of the time it's not, Someone else could go google up another wikipedia right now that stated totally different insight of the one you posted and it would be hard to know who's source is actually correct.

Just a FYI.:)
[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
I've had no luck with this at all.

Radio is not updating through flashing the zip in recovery.

Booted into fastboot, connected my usb cable, and ran fastboot flash radio <path-to-radio.img> ... let it sit for like 30 minutes, didn't even get to 50%?

Anyone else having problems flashing it? I'd really like to have the benefits of the new radio:(

edit:

Can the radio.img be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and flashed in hboot?
[G1 Android Development] bluenile:
installing was smooooth, hardly took more than 2-3 mins - start to finish, max 5 mins i would say but def not more.
[G1 Android Development] rakjer:
I can confirm better battery life.

At my house I used to jump from 4, 2G bars to 1, 3G bar all the time which would cause my battery to drain like crazy. Now that I have 3, 3G bars consistently, my battery lasts twice as long. Last night I left it off the charger(it was not charged since the previous night) and woke up to 40% battery, when in the past if I did that it would auto shutdown.

Good stuff...
[G1 Android Development] r|ktk|ng:
worked on a Tmobile Uk g1, Death SPL, OE 1.2.2

just a quick article i wrote
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
Can people with a g1 check their google maps? I really want this new radio update but I don't want my google maps to be messed up because of this.. Thanx a lot guys for your help
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
FYI: Wikipedia is actually a *great* source. It provides insights, and it is subject to the scrutiny of everybody.

Just realize that ALL information is subject to errors.

Even (and possibly ESPECIALLY) "scholarly sourced facts".

More than once I've read someone's PhD thesis and found crazy leaps of logic and things that are downright INCORRECT, and yet it was accepted by the review board.

And if you want to ensure correctness (or should I say "likelihood of correctness") of an article in wikipedia, you need only check the REFERENCES cited at the bottom. This particular article cites a document by a graduate student at the university of victoria (you can read his publications if you are unsure of the quality of his work), and an article hosted by NIST. Both seem to be in order.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
maps is fine...call me crazy but i feel like my gps lock happened much quicker than usual
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Very possible. Previous radio images have had this effect. The GPS lock was notoriously hard to get back with the original radio... 1.22.12.29.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Hmmm....

My college professor seems to feel otherwise:

And that's quoted from two semesters ago, haven't used one since, and honestly.....I have doubled checked the sources cited on quite a few wiki's and they only led back to some other college student who also cited another wikipedia that was also cited by another student, who himself cited another wikipedia....lol

my point? They lead from nowhere, it all starts from one person's input, and if it looks informative enough...it gets pushed up and stabilized in everyones search engines and bookmarks.

EDIT:another FYI discussion to ponder.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
yeah it doesnt error at all, everything seems fine, itll ask me to hold home and back to reboot, then it shows the htc symbol and reboots into recovery and says formatting cache, which is normal. Then Ill reboot and the phone starts up fine... it happened the same way when i flashed 26i and when i flashed this one. I check the baseband and its still 1.22.14.11. And when I reboot hold power and camera it still says the same thing.

How would I go about erasing the current radio image? sorry for the questions lbcoder, i really appreciate your help, thank you!
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
hate to go off topic, but can you reduce the size of your signature please? its bigger than most posts will ever be
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
sorry i was actually thinking about that earlier but i was on xda using my g1 and i was too lazy to do it on there, ill redo it right now! =]
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Not really sure which of the two is causing the problem with maps the ROM or the new radio. I fully wiped/ext3/dalvick for a clean install of Enoms AOSP 2.6.1 and then installed the new radio. Everything working perfectly, started loading my aps again the only one causing a problem is maps, I get it to download but install is always unsuccessful. I went ahead and flashed the maps 3.4 manually and got it loaded but it FCs every time.

I also have the same question posted on Enoms AOSP thread to see if anyone is experiencing the same problem over there. I can try flashing a different ROM tonight when I get home tonight and see which is the culprit.
[G1 Android Development] cb7tuner93:
Ooohhhh ****ake mushrooms!!! Flashed and went from 0-1 bars to 2-3bars at my job and no problem with maps yet.

[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Flashed it here onto my G1, no issues as of yet
