No, I don't have money to throw away just because I try new radio. Actually I still have warranty as you should, because it's new phone. Anyway, how someone could answer your question? Only to try new radio and instead of you risk to brick the phone?

I'm not expert but probably new radio version will not lock your phone if previously didn't.

I agree.
[Desire General] Marsbar:
Did you used to have an iPhone by any chance?

That sounds like the kind of thing Apple would do.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
These radio's are all taken from RUU's or other official updates, i.e. you would be forced to use them if you were not rooted. Therefore there can't be anything wrong with them.

Do all these radio roms work on a tmobile locked desire? Does it work across all custom roms?

you got to be kiddin...
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
seems like i found my answer. how do u flash back to previous radio? btw i used unrevoked tool to root my desire

god damn it man...

WTF do we need to do to get ppl reading?!?!?!!? no matter as hard we try...people just don't give a f*ck it's easier to ask and that is it...

No mate im not. like i said, just rooted my desire last night. So does all these radios work across all custom roms?

sorry guys... I understand people won't read 69 pages! but damn, at least 2 or 3! come on...
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
Ok so these are official radio roms that are compatible with all custom ROMS that people post.

gotcha and in that first post it NEVER stated if it works on "all" network operators or whether it works on locked or unlocked desire's

There is over 600 posts and am i expected to read every single post? i already did a "tmobile radio" search on this forum and it got me into this thread.

i am reading topics hench why i have not flashed anything yet. all i done was root my device. thats it.

expect more questions from me till i got all my answers covered.

i got another question seeing as i got peoples attention: i am trying to backup my current legit rom and everything else using "nandroid" but i cant see nandroid in the boot recovery menu.

i found something else called "clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7

i ran that and said its backing up my boot, recover, system and data
[Desire General] TieT:
that was my previous point :)

Im not saying im gonna read 70 pages but at least 30-40 before i go on and flash something.

So that i know what i have to do in case something goes wrong...

*edit* for the post above...

since i rooted my desire i have found ALL info in the topics on XDA or Modaco

I never needed to ask a single question, only for very specific problems !

And i did it thru pm so that the topics stayed clean.

because some topics have over 500 pages ...
[Desire General] jungoed:
anyone got issues with that last radio.

sometimes i got no network , then widget like weather localise me wrong even with a synch.kinda weirdo.

im from france and last radio is from asia ,maybe a first clue ? :D
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Clockwork Mod is used once you're rooted - assuming you are you use this to flash new ROM/make backups/etc. Nandroid is backup.

I'm using a MoDaCo MCR r8 ROM with the latest .23 radio and it's fine on Vodafone (but I am on an unlocked, generic WWE Desire)
[Desire General] jungoed:
got a similar problems , wifi and 3g both active same time, need to unactive with power button the 3g network to have it really unactive otherwise it put itself on :cool:
[Desire General] casca:
weirder than mine lololol

well, mine I think it was fixed.

I THINK...The problem is that i installed y5 battery saver, and it doesn't work properly in froyo,at least for me, and when i uninstalled it through the market app "uninstaller", something remained there and made the bugs i reported about the 3g not kicking in when out of range from the wifi network.

My solution was, installing y5 battery saver again,disable wi-fi,disable 3g internet, and then through the apps manager FROM FROYO itself, i forced stopped it, cleaned the cache, and then removed the app. rebooted...and everything is ok so far.
[Desire General] Fightspit:
I think AdamG should update the 1st post to put some "tips/how to/faqs" in order to avoid to get the same (and boring/uninteresting/lazy_to_answer) questions post by clever people :D
[Desire General] jungoed:
i use quick setting to disable wifi/3g

but seems disabling 3g via quick setting doesnt work great , coz when wifi is off 3g come auto even if its disabled with the quick settings apps.
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
I agree, some kind of FAQ and link to guide how to flash radio is obsolete.

It's not true. I've just test it and everything work normal.
[Desire General] PTKDev:
What is the best radio for good battery performance?
[Desire General] bigstoo:
I've not had good experiences with the 5.10.05.23 ROM.

I'm on 3UK mobile provider.

After flashing, it didn't register on a network until I manually selected one. I'm currently in a very strong signal area. Once connected, HSDPA seemed fast enough, though. It did seem to be munching through battery pretty quick. Also, the signal was going down to 0 bars when I held the phone. For a moment, it felt like I had an iPhone.

I haven't tried WiFi.

The show stopper for me, though, is that I can't send SMS with the latest radio.

I've gone back to the previous one.
[Desire General] jungoed:
yea forgot that one , phone in the hand , no networks
[Desire General] casca:
well...i don't know about you guys, but for me i think this is the best radio for the battery as far as i can tell.

wifi reception is nice and so is the cell.

no issues whatsoever with it so far.
[Desire General] sparkpanzer:
Dear,

can u tell me what u r do excatly??

im try from yesterday to flash the new pay rom, but the desire is hang
[Desire General] transpirman:
Hi,

I have experienced unwanted reboot after some minutes (2 - 30) when using GPS and charging my HTC Desire. The problem is described here: showthread.php?t=676402

As I didn't noticed that problem before Froyo update (LeeDroid 2.0a including radio 5.09.00.20), is there any chance that the new radio updates solve that problem ?

Thanks !
[Desire General] The_limit:
people, don't mind the munchers above complaining and bickering all the time.

This (.47) radio is the best so far! good batterylife and good wifi signal. also good cell reception. So better battery with same, if not better, reception on all connections. flash flash flash I say!
[Desire General] bigmouth66:
True! For me it's also the best. Good batterylife, good wifi, 3G and HSDPA signal and... for me this one is also the best for 720p video :D
[Desire General] dmpwd:
indeed!

+1

3.5G working much better after flashing 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 radio
[Desire General] deaglun:
I flashed .23 a couple of hours ago and all seems well so far. wifi and 3g are working, camera works (and the prob i was having with OD3.6.1 camera crashing appears to have gone). I haven't noticed a big improvement but its certainly no worse. Can't say much about battery either but I haven't experienced any serious drain or anything.

I'm on vodafone UK and using opendesire 3.6.1.
[Desire General] MRE-net:
Indeed, totally agree. Moved to an new building today at work, it's like a cage. Hardly any signal with the previous radio's. Now I have a steady 4 bar signal....
[Desire General] GSO:
+1

much better 3G and HSDPA signal!
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
excellent. will try the new radio rom tonight!
[Desire General] markrs:
Would only work on g until I manually selected t-mobile as the network. Afterwards it connected to hsdpa.
[Desire General] Petesky:
I flashed this new Radio on the strength of the last few posts ,

and I can honestly say I've never seen my battery drain so fast,

15% gone in around 1 hour
[Desire General] marinierb:
Try setting your phone to "GSM Auto (PRL)". That might help.
[Desire General] bigmouth66:
Are you sure it's the radio? I tested it last night for 8 hours and it was less than 1% an hour with 3G on...
[Desire General] dmpwd:
definitely not happening here...

i am 7 hours unplugged from wall charger, 76% battery still available, i have been 100% time connected to HSDPA and email, weather and facebook updating every 1 hour...
[Desire General] agent.m:
when judging radio's and users comments

I personally take more notice of network and location when comparing radio performance. Im no cell expert but it works for me.

On the new 32.47 radio i'll judge it after a few days. Seems ok
[Desire General] System of a pWne!^:
I can confirm the latest radio to improve 720p recording.

When the light is well, there is no motion-blur (outside in the sun or in a light room - My computer monitor also worked well).

When it's darker, it still blurs but with the same ammount as the other recording-modes do.

32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23

32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23 seems to give really long GPS lock. Its also very inaccreate for some reason. I am running OD 4.0. I was using the version before without issues. Just have downgraded fornow.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
Don't think its the radio, had that problem myself on OD 3.6.1 with the previous radio.

As for this radio, it's miles better than the last. At work I could never get data thanks to the datacentre a wall behind me, now I get 2G at least and quite often HDSPA.
[Desire General] itsfozzy:
I've just installed the latest radio, and it's made no difference to the time my Desire gets it's GPS lock - 10 seconds:cool:
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
what do u guys mean by OD?
[Desire General] <Majestic>:
Possible. But as soon as I flash back to 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 my slow GPS lock is gone.

I didn't test 3G/E/H connectivity as I was at home and as usual in most places I get poor 3G signal but 2G is 5 bars rather then 0-1 on 3G. If I go outside, I can get H without any issues. Nurf old houses.

Will flash back to latest later and do some more tests.. guess I was just instently annoyed when it said I was like almost a mile away.. lol.

UPDATE: going by what the person above just said.. maybe my towers here were having issues. reflashing shortly back to latest and will post back if its fine or not. Maybe just unlucky time I tested.

O and no sense ui on OD? umm whats the best or popular one with sense ui?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Adam really should edit first post, answer FAQ and write short guide how to flash radio because one from link is obsolete.

I think that Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 is more popular and I use it. Just read last few my post here and you'll see how to flash radio. Don't worry about my problems :)
[Desire General] bob dylan:
i use the auraxtsense 7.1 Froyo build from neophyte. it uses sense but also has an option to use the standard vanilla launcher.

try it, you might like it.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
ok so i dont have to do step 6?

Does it matter which i install first ie do i install the new radio and then a new rom or install the rom first then the radio?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Depends how did you root and what you got. Whit unrevoked method you'll get ClockworkMod Recovery. Boot Desire with power + volume down, wait for a minute and choose recovery. ClockworkMod Recovery will start, select install zip from sdcard, find radio and flash it. Reboot from menu when ClockworkMod Recovery ask you. That is. Without step 6, PC or USB cable. Your Desire it's enough :)

Don't remove battery during radio flash!!!!! Read my earlier post about problem. If android with green arrow on black desktop passed and you stuck with green HTC logo you may remove battery or just press power + volume down + trackball for reset. Usually everything passed well.

If you install custom ROM for first time, you must flash new or requested radio first. Later, you can just flash (update) new radio without flashing ROM again. Actually if you flash new ROM without recommended radio, ROM maybe will work, maybe not or some things like camera will not work.
[Desire General] Mystenes:
i have tested these radios

23/08/10 - Added 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

30/08/10 - Added 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2

31/08/10 - Added 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23

best for me is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

it has the lowest power consumption and best connection stability.

in my desire it connects faster to any WiFi router (5 different models tested) than any other radio.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
i used unrevoked. ok i will flash radio and then rom :)
[Desire General] Petesky:
I can only say how it affected me and I've never seen anything like it ,

maybe radio didnt flash correctly,

but I flashed this radio

32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2.zip

and desire is still at 100% after an hour , so I'm just going to stick to this one for now
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:

[Desire General] Peikko:
if you download LeeDrOiD V2.0a A2SD+ you need to have a ext partition on your sdcard.

1. partition you sdcard with 1 fat32 and 1 ext3 parition

2. flasch leedroid 2.0a
[Desire General] ivarson_swe:
This radio fits me best too. Longer battery life and faster network than the newest radio
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
ok done. i used rom manager to partition my sdcard. the max i could partition it was 512mb? cant i do more?
[Desire General] ryanrich:
Same results for me. Currently on the latest radio but flashing back to 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 today.

.23 radio drains my battery too fast in one hour, I think .17_2 has the best balance of battery and upload/download speeds for WIFI and 3G.

Staying with .17_2 as of now. :)

32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 caused instability in 3G network on T-Mobile NL...
[Desire General] pascanu:
+1. Tested latest 3 radios for the last 2 days and 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 gives me the best 3G signal and (probably) best battery (very hard to test but it's not worse then any other I have tested). GPS also works very well.

See my signature for details of ROM and network.
[Desire General] casca:
For me, the best is also 5.09.05.30_2. Either one of the last two (5.10.05.17_2 or 5.10.05.23) doesn't enable back the 3g connection after using the wireless for a lot of time... it's annoying...
[Desire General] :
+1 reverted to 5.09.05.30_2 after 2 days trying the 5.10.X.X
[Desire General] icinf:
Wifi working for like 20 seconds then dies.

I just recently did a full wipe and installed open desire 4.01 & the latest radio 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23 (all done through ROM manager). I've switched numerous times from various different custom roms (lee droid, defrost, opendesire etc ...) and have never encountered a problem - until now. With the latest combination, my Wifi seems to die within seconds for any browser-surfing or downloads from market (however, other programs such as facebook, ebuddy messenger seem to continue to work when connected to wifi?!?!). When I switch to mobile internet (3g) everything works fine. Are others experiencing this problem with the latest radio?

To isolate what the error was I wiped and installed various other custom roms and the problem was not fixed. I've recent installed an older radio version 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 and just tested it and the problem appears resolved. I've come to the conclusion that the latest radio is the cause of my wifi problems.

Does anyone know why this is happening? (Because I've heard battery performance increases dramatically with the latest update and would love to use it if the wifi situation is fixed).

Edit - False report, 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 + open desire 4.01 problem still persists! Testing 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio now due to above posts - hope this works and fingers crossed my wifi hasn't bricked somehow!

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
[Desire General] twist1234:
Reverting back to 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2, latest radio sucks (literally) on my Desire, running OD 3.6.1 apparently even worse on OD4.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
I am having a good time with the .23 radio here.

Good signal/download speeds

No noticeable difference on battery life

Gps works fine.

720p works fine.
[Desire General] wally80:
The same for me.

I am pretty confident that my 3G performance was by far better with 5.09.05.30_2 than with the new 5.10.x.x.

I live in a well covered 3G area and I usually test in the night (3AM) and average over several tests.

With 5.09.05.30_2 I reach on average ~3.8Mbps.

With 5.10.x.x I never exceed 2.4Mbps (hard limit).

For me, battery life and wifi performance NEVER changed with all the radios I tested.

Additionally, I never tested 720p. It's not so important for me, in comparison to the connection speed.

wally
[Desire General] wally80:
I noticed that the "performance" perceived from a radio depends on the network I test it with.

IMHO, telling that radio .XX performs wonderfully in operator A, does not imply that that radio performs good in other networks. For this reason I am always skeptical to install a radio that comes from a OTA in the other part of the world.

Can it be that a radio in Singapore is optimized for networks there and therefore performs worse when used in a European network?

Different countries might have different allocated frequencies, different network features,etc.etc. So, it might be that HTC produces radios depending on the market.

Actually, what the hell is exactly a radio?

Is it the driver of the radio transceiver? Is it the GSM/UMTS/GPS stack?

[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
I did find that the latest radio causes my GPS to hang, and never locks on, however if i reboot and initiate it straight away it locks in under 3 seconds.... odd
[Desire General] casca:
ok...this is weird...while going home yesterday i noticed that i was still having the same problem with the auto 3g network enabling when i would loose the wireless, so i've factory reseted my phone to check wtf this was still happening and i've flashed the latest radio before doing the reset (yes again...lol) and i think it is now fully ok and that this started upon the installation of y5 battery saver...

I'll need a couple more experiences, but i think everything is ok now on this issue.

Haven't measured the signal strength though, but will check it latter.

One thing i noticed today was that with this latest radio, the GPS LOCK WAS IMMEDIATE (at least in Copilot!) soon as i opened the app, i had a lock ! awsome!

One thing I can let you guys now...

DO NOT INSTALL Y5 BATTERY SAVER

, it won't work properly on FROYO and you'll get a bonus...it will f*ck up your phone,since it won't enable back 3g internet when you loose wifi reception and you will have to do it manually,even after you uninstall the app :( (that is why e factory reseted...)
[Desire General] TieT:
for me the radio is great !

Instant lock on gps, great wifi and hspda performance.

battery life is always good when you first flash the radio, you need to check it over a few days.
[Desire General] jedi134:
Can I just confirm, as I`ve heard conflicting information.

Can I flash these radios without being rooted, if so how can I do this?

Step by step instructions would be nice:)
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
No you need a custom recovery in order to flash a radio i.e. be "rooted" in the lose term, you don't need to have SuperUser access but you do need to have a recovery like Amon-Ra or ClockWorkMod installed.

Can't confirm this. Y5 battery works with the latest radio. No glitches here.
[Desire General] :
Went back to 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 coming from 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23. Might test the ones in between. Can the OP update the 1st post and specify if possible where each radio was from; AFAIK the latest one came from a Asian RUU so might be that it only works well over there.

With 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23 I would drop from 4 bars to no connection and back to 4 bars after a couple of seconds (unable to make calls at the time etc).
[Desire General] isaw:
Hmm, I up'd myself to the latest radio "32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23" a couple days ago but since doing it, I've lost the ability to send proper mms/picture messages. I can send normal texts, but not ones with a pic attachment. Double checked my APN and it's the same.

So i down'd myself back to my original "32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20" and I still can't send pic messages. Rebooted a few times, deleted and recreated my APN and nothing.

I'm on Three Mobile in the. I've seen a couple others complaining about this - have you fellow 3'ers resolved your MMS issue(s)?

And no, I'm not blaming anyone for this as the radio image(s) come from proper builds...
[Desire General] casca:
for me it was the problem of not reconnecting 3g internet network, so don't know what to say..

[Desire General] desire888:
Finding the latest radio 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23 is draining the battery pretty fast. Did multiple battery recalibrations and battery wipes and still the same.

Think i'll be switching back to 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 which is brilliant!
