If you want the whole new rom from tmo then use Enom's offical...
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Actually, not quite yet. His AOSP has been pushed *past* DMD64 to DRD36 (the 1.6_r2 tag), but TMO is still DRC83 (US)/DRC92 (EU).
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
What if this upgrade just messes with the signal strength numbers to make them more accurate than they were before...so we would actually be receiving the same signal, just now it's reporting it correctly under "Status". As much as I would like to say this radio helps, I havnt noticed any difference.
[G1 Android Development] blackerwater:
okay so what i gather is tmo USA DRC83 is the most current. and no ones posted a link to the new USA update thats being pushed out. will the radio from DRD36 be the same for us here in the states? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
update differences

I haven't noticed and change in signal strength, however I have notice a improvement in switching between 3g and 2g. I work in a border area, and if I'm on a call, and travel into a 3g area, I would still have to end the call before picking up data again. Now it seems able to pick up 3g while on a call when it becomes available.

Thanks to the op!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
TMO has pushed DMD64 for myTouch 3G users, including the new radio. However, no one has released a system dump yet with the DMD64 image, just the radio. TMO is now pushing the same update (DMD64) for the G1, but no one appears to have dumped that yet either, as most of the current activity in XDA is either based on frequent AOSP 1.6 syncs (Cyanogen) or AOSP 2.1 (everyone else).
[G1 Android Development] blackerwater:
interesting thanks.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
after 24 hours no difference in battery do get one more bar.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
helps my signal a little as well.

AT&T EDGE.
[G1 Android Development] tribalb:
For those in the socal area who lost their 3g signal where they had it before. Flash this radio. This recovers ur 3g back and I can report I ve had full bars where I had 2 bars under 3g before I lost it. Thanx OP for this. Originally I had thought a tower was out according to a tmo rep. But flashing this today I see my 3g is back and full strength.
[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
I guess my radio eeprom must not want a new flash. :(

Might see if I can swap my g1 for a new one.
[G1 Android Development] G1gurl:
Can't sign into google???

Is there anyone else experiencing not being able to sign into my google account?? can't get my contacts or emails??

How do I revert back to the old radio?

Can someone please help??:(
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
Anyone else have their phone sitting in their recovery console stuck at "Formatting CACHE:..." It's been stuck here for about 5 minutes but its not frozen and I have the ability to move my trackball through the Amon Ra recovery menu...

Also the "..." on the formatting text isn't moving..

Any thoughts or did anyone experience this?
[G1 Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Kainzo, just select the first option to "Reboot Phone" -- the Amon_RA menu only appears after formatting finishes. If you can move through the menu items you should be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
This is really great!! I get a MUCH better signal in my house. Also, it seems to help the battery performance as well. Running with Super D 1.9.3 and death spl. Thanks for this!!
[G1 Android Development] :
If you can move the trackball its finished and reboot, well and I do mean WELL documented fact but having used search you'll know that ;)
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
I posted preemptively, I had balls enough to move the trackball and just did the reboot.. the phone booted a little bit faster I must say, however I notice no difference in signal strength.

Still neat.
[G1 Android Development] spinjason:
Well I flashed and have'nt had any problems yet but I will let you all know if I do..
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I have same bars too, no more no less..
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Just to be sure, do just flash this as an update like a rom or another way? Sorry for the stupid question maybe i should just stay away from it.....
[G1 Android Development] lazzy81:
Just flash that is correct. I just did it to my girlfriends mytouch and hopefully it resolves the not able to send text problem
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
FROM THE FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD:

Instructions:

1. Put either file onto the root directory of your sdcard. [/sdcard]

2. Boot your phone into recovery mode. [Either Cyanogen or Ra's recovery works]

3. Apply "any .zip" update and point it to the file.

4. When prompted, reboot your phone.

5. Patiently wait (the flea circus will do their job within your phone)

6. It should put you back into recovery, from there, reboot and you should be good.

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: YES
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
LOL! Sorry guys i just went back and looked and there are the instructions..... sorry about that. :rolleyes:

Oh and it flashed and no brick.. yay! if i see any major change either way ill let ya know.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Good lord.. its a radio people.. not an spl or something.. Just flash the thing like a normal rom and you'll be fine..
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Psychological or not, it appears that the update did good on my phone. I'm getting 4 bars on EDGE fairly steady in my basement when usually I get 2 bars and now it shows -63 dBm 25 asu, I know that before it was about -89 dBm 12 asu.

If it enhances or not, I don't care, the phone is not bricked :D
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i found a statement somewhere that "asu" stands for "active service units" as in cell towers...but very little info on that...
[G1 Android Development] adewey234:
Your radio controls a lot of things in your phone, if there is increased reception, your phone will not be constantly be switching from 3g to Edge, which would save battery life, and if they optimized the radio image, it would make the phone boot faster. So yea, i believe you are wrong.
[G1 Android Development] :
My 3g would randomly drop out yesterday. Hasn't done it today. Could be new radio, could be coincidence.
[G1 Android Development] samaral:
It did improve the strength of the radio to +3 to +5. Im curious if there are other users who are experiencing a bit of battery drain.

I get a constant 3G signal (Singtel) and even in a noisy server room i still get better reception.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
I did at first experience a battery drain, but after wiping battery settings, then letting it die all the way out, followed by a full 8 hr charge with it turned off, all is well :cool:
[G1 Android Development] dial100:
Flashed on HTC Magic (UK) and everything is fine. Noticed no difference.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It seems like most people trying this are using the Danger SPL or have a myTouch. Has anyone with a G1 with the original SPL tried this yet?
[G1 Android Development] :
Just wondering as I've been watching and seems UK folk see no difference with the radio. Is this due to the fact this is an American test release so won't have any bearing in UK and a few other countries I've seen saying its done nothing for them?
[G1 Android Development] Kronvict:
I'm still runnin on stock SPL and flashed this radio last night and all is well. Signal is a little better but I didn't do a before/after comparison so I can really say how much better. I plan on flashing death SPL eventually but my question is, is it safe to flash death SPL with this radio without fear of bricking? I have the PVT board so no problem there.
[G1 Android Development] jrparker99:
I've flashed it, works fine with the original SPL
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
Since so many of us have the death SPL and flashed this radio successfully, I don't see why it wouldn't work for you to flash the SPL now. I think there were a few people in the early posts who did it. Of course, I'm not responsible for bricks, check the early few pages and make your own decision.
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
It's just a designation for the two versions of the myTouch out there. The second myTouch, which has the 3.5mm jack and more RAM, should already have this Baseband Version.
[G1 Android Development] ishb3w:
This radio is working awesome on my G1 running CM's latest Rom and Danger SPL
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
i flashed the radio haven't had time to play with it but i have 3 bars instead of 2 in my room.

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

edit: Maybe its the official radio for 2.1? who knows....
[G1 Android Development] ceas909:
just wondering the ones that have flashed the new radio... are you having any conflicts with flashing current roms or them running on your device??
[G1 Android Development] davidhooper4:
No not at all, I dont think there is any downfall to applying this update for your radio. Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
This radio is working fine for me. I flashed it on top of super D and then flashed King's 2.1 rom and flashed super D 1.9.2 earlier today, no problems at all.
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
You are correct. I just didn't see anyone post the new Radio so I decided to make an update for everyone. Those of you with the myTouch Fender and 1.2 (or whatever they're calling it nowadays) should already have this.
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I haven't read through all of this thread yet, but I will tomorrow. I know for sure in the past when my phone had issues connecting it would try and try and try forever and eat up my battery. I wonder if the G1 internally looks for the strongest signal it can and when it does it stops looking for a stronger signal.

Maybe there is a threshold to which it looks for and if it doesn't find it, it keeps looking. I noticed when T-Mobile put up another tower in my area my battery seemed to last longer. Of course it could all be in my head or maybe not. Maybe the longer lasting battery illusion isn't really an illusion. Either way I've had full bars and an 50-80% battery every night before I go to bed and put it on the charger before shutting it off.

Anyways after reading I don't know 30 or so pages I decided to put in my 2cents and I'll read the rest and flash tomorrow. :D
[G1 Android Development] SD2691:
from 2 bars to 4!

I ALWAYS had 2 bars in my house, since flashing this I havnt seen it drop from 4, its crazy its a constant full reception this is great!
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
Dude you might be totally right they are pushing this Radio update to get ready for the OFFICIAL 2.1 update this month
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
when i check i radio ver it still shows .26I?????
[G1 Android Development] MattKilla:
The white Dream is running 2.22.19.26I radio. The black Dream is running the 2.22.23.02 radio.

As you can see, the results are within a few minutes of each other. This is pretty definitive proof, in my opinion, that the radio is much better.

Also, I'm located in Bakersfield, CA
[G1 Android Development] em2drvr03:
i flashed new radio for g1 and mytouch ...and havnt seen any difference...anyone having the same problem...?
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
My initial observations.

I'm not running the DangerSPL

I'm running CM-4.2.5

I'm not running any comcache or anything other than Apps2SD

Ok, installed the new radio. My 3G speed appears to be slower than before. Nearly half the speed. I went from a 1.27M download to .57M using Speed test. Edge seems to be the same using Speed test. Bars don't seem to be any different either. I have 4 in my office before and after.

However the one thing I did notice right away. When you call my phone it rings on the first ring opposed to 3 or 4 rings later.

I'll keep playing with things, but at least one positive thing in my mind came out of this. ;)

I don't really use 3G and maybe its a fluke, but its what I notice thus far.
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
Same issue for me :( Any clue how to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
It's a MyTouch / Magic radio that you can run on the G! if you have the MyTouch / Magic SPL already flashed onto your G1.

Its G1 folk who need to worry from what I can tell.

As for me, I'm not flashing anything until I know what it is and what it's going to do for me.
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
You're correct

You are exactly correct. When in a marginal coverage area you phone needs to send a stronger signal to stay connected and the battery does run out much faster. On phones I've had in the past my "usually 3-days" battery could be dead in 4 hours if I was in really bad coverage.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It's not necessarily a Magic radio since T-Mobile has already started pushing it OTA to G1's, and you also don't need a SPL other than the G1's original SPL for this to work.
[G1 Android Development] witzend:
um running a Dream/G1 with DeathSPL, currently running OE 1.2.2 w/o CC, Swap, A2SD.

I have to say, the new Radio helped for better signal strength, faster download speeds after update and battery seems to last longer (ran the tests and used the phone with the original battery that was bloated from overcharging) and still managed to get 1 day's use with it where it's usually a quarter day.
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
---Added to the original post---

Perfection 1 Bar vs no Service.

This update has made my phone much more responsive.

Nothing bad to report, only good.

At work I get no service. Now I get 1 bar. Having my phone work where before I was unreachable is just what I need.

Flashed OK on HTC Magic 32B

I flashed radio 2.22.23.02 on my HTC Magic 32B from Vodafone New Zealand.

Hboot SPL 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

The flash went on OK. I wiped the current system and re-flashed htcclay's FastTest 2.7 Donut ROM

It booted normally.

3G works fine.

GPRS works fine.

Wifi works fine.

Phone works fine.

Bluetooth works fine.

I notice I now have 4 bars on the phone reception instead of 3 bars.

No issues here. Thanks to the original poster for highlighting this.

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Even if this is all a placebo effect, if for nothing else, it's good to be updated to the latest radio regardless. Especially with us being rooted and ROM'd and thus not privy to the OTA's like before.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
OMG! Just installed no problem on my G1 /w Danger.

Before installing I ran the SpeedTest.Net app twice:

1) 333kbps Down, 33kbps Up

2) 338kbps Down, 32kbps Up

Then I installed the radio and ran it twice:

1) 588kbps Down, 412kbps Up.

2) 568kbps Down, 382kbps Up.

Nice!
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Frost:

[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
Finally got my phone to take this update! Anyone else having problems should try this too!

I had to revert to stock SPL, reflash the original RC29, re-root it, and then the radio finally updated! After I flashed RC29, I saw that the radio was back to 1.something, so I knew that my eeprom wasn't stuck with the 26I radio.

I'll reflash danger and my rom later now.
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
UPDATE:

OK, it looks like RA recovery issue. Using fastboot solved my problem.
[G1 Android Development] tjs3783:
Been running this since yesterday morning, and all has been well.

I almost never completely losing signal while at work, and pretty much maintain 3G vs swapping between it and EDGE.

No difference in bandwidth. Speedtest consistently reports ~550kbps down & up.
[G1 Android Development] Cope71:
Sorry for the newbie question but I have never updated just the radio before. I apparently am running a old radio on my G1 (1.22.12.29). The first post states to make sure you radio is updateable before flashing. Does anyone know if this radio is updateable or not? By the way I am running Cyanogen's latest (4.2.14.1). Thanks for your help.
[G1 Android Development] deuse:

I live in the basement and I was used to getting 1 to 2 bars.. but now I get 2 to 3 bars all the time and never losing signal which was happening all the time before this. Thanx a lot for this post and everyones help getting this thing rolling
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Flashed Successfully, no issues! :D:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Loaded this yesterday, have had problems receiving calls or texts since then. I'll either loose connectivity entirely to my network and have to search again in settings, or the phone will still be connected with a signal but calls will still go straight to answer phone.

I'm trying a reflash of CM first then if the problems continue I'm going back to the old radio.

edit: reflashing my ROM fixed it

[G1 Android Development] jcampos:
Just downgraded... got some problems on a few calls both I made and received (including a complete lockup from the phone). Had never have these kind of problems before.

Also didn't notice any battery improvements (didn't get worse though), although the signal was noticeably better, it doesn't bother me all that much, and I don't "trust" it since I had these call problems.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Oh nos!!!! First negative report I have seen.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
btw...my battery finally hit 2% down from 91% after 37 hours....

anyone else notice battery improvement to this extent?

Well how about I don't trust your report. One thing is loud and clear, that is I suspect you are a Roger's Folk and your tale suggests should bail as you must have been terribly mistaken. Please do not come in here and troll as though this radio update does not work when you are probably in Canada or flashed the wrong update, my son. Or should I say Junior.

Check yourself, Sincerely, Kutttt.

[G1 Android Development] Land Of The Trill:
Wouldn't flashing this radio prevent you from trying certain ROM like Cyanogen? I sure hope everyone is able to revert successfully if they have to.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
nope - works fine
[G1 Android Development] kai84m:
My experience with 2.22.23.02:

- EDGE, 3G, WLAN Speed is almost the same, definitely not slower

- The Data Connection in general seems to be more stable with me.

- GPS Fix (Gmaps i.e.) is a lot faster

- G1 finds Network quicker while in searching Network due to weak signal

- Signal strength is better in general

So far I have absolutely no reason to complain about 2.22.23.02.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Frost:
I think so. I still got 78 % after 20 hours. But I didn't use the phone very much, 2 calls (2 min each), some emailing, took 3 pictures, and about 15 min wifi.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
My battery still dies within 6 - 8 hours of heavy usage...Guess the same file I flashed was missing the magical battery increase update.:D
[G1 Android Development] zoid_99:
I let my g1 sit on my desk for 20 or so minutes and tested again. Now I'm getting 1223 where I was getting in the 5xx range before. Still not up the the 16xx speeds I was getting on the old radio but better. I think I'm ging to have to test this more in different locations before I can say it is "slower".
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
So I compared this radio image to the 26I image using 2 G1's side by side(Mine and my girlfriends). Mine had the new radio, which SHOWED better signal strength and 1 more bar. My girlfriends had the old radio which SHOWED a lower signal strength and 1 less bar. BUT, here's the stumper, I ran multiple bandwidth test on both phones, and they were both averaging to about the same speeds. Hmmmm....
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
Just flashed and can confirm that it improves signal. Gave me one more bar and slightly faster tests with speedtest.
[G1 Android Development] Christopher3712:
Okay folks, for those of you who are experiencing lower bandwidth, why not modify the build.prop file after flashing the new radio and get the best of both worlds? I added these settings to my build.prop file:

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5

I'm averaging about 1500kbps download and 250kbps upload with increased signal strength. I even get a signal in the elevators at my job, whereas before I didn't.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flashing the new radio went fine for me. I cannot confirm that 3G or GPRS works better now, but I noticed a big improvement in GPS fixation. I am getting a satellite fix within my flat now, without being near to a window!
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
most roms i have seen already use these values.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
you can only flash it if you are rooted

the zip is signed with a testkey - not the key that vodaphone use and therefore cant be flashed without a custom recovery image
