For me the best radio is 5_11_05_14 but you need to install ril too.

[Desire General] moebius83:
quick question, I tried to read most of the pages but 147 are really too many to inspect.

I'm using a stock rooted htc desire rom with radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2, I don't want to update to the latest stock rom because I rooted the phone etc, is it possible to just update to the latest radio using one of these? will it cause any problem flashing a newer radio but using an older firmware?

thank you
[Desire General] erklat:
You can flash either of these radios, they were extracted from RUU updates anyway. Some are going to work better than the others though due to the RIL optimization.

Bottom line, you won't brick your device with the newer radio.
[Desire General] Silverpoint94:
Hi can someone link me to the RIL for the latest radio? going thru all the pages is not gonna be fun :p Thanks alot appreciate it :);)

Hi,

I have a problem with my reception. I was trying to flash different radios but all the time has the same problem, from time to time phone hung up by itself and it's really annoying. Anyone has or had the same problem. Please help.
[Desire General] Gramlengo:
CurrentWidget shows 183mA consumption, WiFi, 3G data and GPS OFF... Is this normal? Doesn't seem like it O.o

Running LeeDroid 2.3b, Radio - 5.10.05.30, Rooted, SetCPU with PowerSave (!) profile...

Any ideas?

Edit - Losing 1% battery every ~20 minutes. Definitely not normal.

As someone already stated somewhere the RIL hasnt changed since version 32.49 (identical md5 on all files) so you can flash the same RIL.

[Desire General] erklat:

[Desire General] Xharlie:
The discovery of the "RIL" confused me, too. I always thought in terms of two things: radio and ROM. For me, these were the radio listed here (various versions) and Oxygen 2.0 RC 5.

So, my procedure to update is usually:

1. Flash Radio

2. Flash ROM (Oxygen 2.0 RC 5)

3. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache Partition

4. Restart

Do I have to include steps to manually flash an RIL in this process or is the RIL part of one of the other components?

Note: Used to use OpenDesire before Oxygen 2.0 RCs started appearing.
[Desire General] Xharlie:
I tried flashing 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 but I can't get a GPS fix with it. Of course, I was coming from 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and I couldn't get a GPS fix with that, either. Both just gave 3 or 4 satellites and no more and no fix.

My story:

I started on OpenDesire with a newer radio than 5.09 - everything worked, GPS fix was almost instant. (Such a pity I can't remember the exact radio version but I think it was a 5.10 or 5.11 version)

Then, I replaced OpenDesire with Oxygen 2 RC 2. At the time, I also installed AlphaRev H1table and didn't touch the radio. Did a full wipe. Everything worked - GPS fix was still quick but a little slower than it had been in the past.

Today, I upgraded Oxygen 2 to RC 5 and downgraded to the recommended radio (5.09.05.30_2) at the same time. I wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition but did NOT do a full factory reset. Result: no GPS fix at all.

So I installed 5.14.05.17, reinstalled Oxygen 2 RC 5, wiped dalvik and cache partition again (still no factory reset / full wipe) and I still have no GPS fix.

What do I have to do? Downgrade my radio? Do a full factory reset?

No GPS is a show-stopper for me - it is the thing I use most on my phone. Please help!
[Desire General] DomFel:
Xharlie download GPS Status from the market, open it and fire up the menu, go to tools, then AGPS settings, then choose Download AGPS data. You'll get the first fix in less than a minute. After that I suggest you to reset the gps from gps status and go for a cold start.
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
@Xharlie - why is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 recommended for the Oxygen v2 RC5?

I am currently using that radio on rooted Froyo but planning to flash 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and Oxygen rom.....would you suggest that radio or should I stick to my current 5.09?

thanks...

@jsek - thanks for the info about RIL...
[Desire General] crapula512:
well the RIL is part of the rom, however a ril should match the radio or at least be appropriate for it.

you can think of it like the drivers of your graphic card, and the radio img is the bios of the graphics card.

so, whatever rom that you flash comes with a ril but is the best suited for your radio? maybe or maybe not. the best thing you can do is flash the ril after flashing the rom and thats it.

on the other hand, it can be argued that a newer ril is better than an older one, no matter the radio. (kinda is better to use newer drivers that those that come with the graphics card when you bought it).
[Desire General] :
Seems that latest radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 it's good, but we still need RIL.

I use ownhere 3.1 but seems that the radio it's not good on fixing gps position. In network (vodafone-romania) it's best radio until now 81dBm 16 asu.

Some users have very quick GPS fix with with this radio in some roms, better say kernels from that rom's work better.

So, please post the link's for kernels that work with this radio, because in kernel are RIL driver.... especially users that report quick GPS and good battery life:

lion0606

kai84m

westernmg

I really want to keep this radio because it's verry verry good except GPS fix.
[Desire General] DomFel:
Robert A there is no need for a new RIL. As stated earlier, the RIL is exactly the same as the 32.49 one.

For a quick gps fix, just read up my latest post.
[Desire General] koRn666:
This new radio works fine in my desire with the Aura 8 rom, no battery drain, but the signal is very low, anyone of you experience this issue?? Sorry for my english...
[Desire General] erklat:
About 30 second fix with Leedroid 2.3c here. You are right, it couldn't be more obvious that ROM is the culprit for poor gps reception in the previous posts.
[Desire General] DomFel:
Been testing the new 32.54 since yesterday, I have to say it's too battery hungry for me. By the way I used to get a gps fix in less than 15s with that radio, as with all others as well.
[Desire General] :
I use gps fix from couple of weeks now, because the same issue with 27 radio (without ril - no GPS fix). The RIL it's not the same. If you extract RIL files stored in a rom it will never be the same.

I know, mabe somebody change the build name for the ril, and make it 27, but it's the same.

Please beleive me CANNOT be the same. Radios came from different countries, if the RIL it's the same all over why is nedeed the new radio?????
[Desire General] DomFel:
Read up some previous pages, ril's MD5 is exactly the same as the 32.49 radio one!
[Desire General] crapula512:
im sorry but this doesn't make too much sense. Suppose that you grab a pc from germany and another from canada, different countries and their drivers can be different but they can have the same version too.

lets say that in this particular case both computers have the same driver for the video card, does it mean that both have the same video card? not really, one can have a nvidia GT420M and the other a nvidia GT435M

overall, you can have different radio firmwares and the same ril or use different rils for the same radio. both are (very) different pieces of software.

if you dont believe it, grab stock roms with 32.49 and 32.54 radios and compare those rils.

[Desire General] craig1965:
Im using the latest radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 with teppic 74's latest sock pre rooted rom plus power saving mod pack

I managed to get a full days use out of it and still go home with 35% battery this included running the misic player and bluetooth for 6 hours constantly plus facebook updating every half an hour and twitter updating every hour

Along with half an hour calling time 30 texts and gmail

this i am very impresed with when i originally got my desire in 5 hours it would be dead before I rooted lol:)
[Desire General] :
ok. then why I cannot get the GPS fix?

I live in center of europe where sattelites have good signals (TV sat). I mean here I need a 40cm parabolic antenna to receive tv channels, and in greece the same hardware needs over 100cm to receive the same channels.

...so the hardware in my phone it's not the problem, but the driver is, because with another radio version the GPS fix take only the 4 seconds, but in that case I have not good GSM signal.

So, if I install this rom 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and extract the RIL files MANUALLY, and replace in my rom, it may be working or I can brick my phone???
[Desire General] :
ok I've installed latest radio 5.14.05.17 in my rom and ril for 5.11.05.27 and no GPS FIX.

I've installed rom 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and gps fix was in 3-4 seconds. so the RIL it's different.

:( This is happening way to often to me of late. I saw that someone mentioned they downloaded the latest RIL so I went reading looking for a link. My apologies, should get out of the habit of speed reading :(. What is the second link for then? I know the first is the radio but the second? Thank you for reply.
[Desire General] chief1978:
its for the full ROM, from which the radio was extracted.

Ah then I really dont want that one. Thank you for the response much appreciated :). So far so good with this new radio cant wait to test the navigation side :).
[Desire General] jordan.harris01:
Posted this to the wrong thread, but but I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC6 if anyone here can help.

Is there any preference between using the 87 couttstech kernel vs the vork xmas one? The stock kernal in rc6 seems to have huge battery drain for me.

Also, if I flash the 5.14.05.17 radio coming from the rc5 recommended radio do I need to worry about RIL's? Not really sure about RIL's.
[Desire General] DiWizard:
I've been using 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 for quite some time now and one big improvment I noticed is the significant battery lifetime improvment. As regarding Navigation my GPS is still not working and can locate my position :-(

Radio version 5.14.05.17

Hi.

I flashed this radio 2 hours ago, with the corresponding RIL, and I must say, it's amazing!!

I can't say for signal strength, etc, because for the moment I can't see any difference, but as for the battery usage, it's really incredible!! CurrentWidget is now announcing 3-4mA/h and the usage is very stable whereas I used to have 4-6mA/h with many spikes with version 5.11.05.14.

I'll see what this gives on the long run, but I can't remember having been so enthusiastic about a radio before... ;)
[Desire General] jonata:
RIL ... how to flash ?

I flash radio (new from HTC) with fastboot, but RIL ?

tks for reply
[Desire General] Bhups:
I cant flash the radio with clockworks recovery. It just says its about to write the radio, but then just reboots. (this is because there is not enough space on the device. Using Oxygen R6 with bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img)

Edit 1:

To flash it, I had to extract the radio.img and use fastboot flash radio radio.img which worked, just incase you guys have issues as I did.

Edit 2:

This is sooo lame! I now got NO NETWORK!

Edit 3:

Nope, actually, I got network :) Just needed a reboot ;)

Edit 4:

Urrm, actually, no network. Reboot just bought it back for a second.

Edit 5:

OK. Now to fix this, I flashed my device HBOOT with "Bravo N1Table" as there was no space for the radio with the "Bravo Oxygen" table.

The main issue with the network loss is with the RIL being flashed.

However, the GPS is still giving an issue.

Wipe and restoring nandroid backup and reverting back to older radio :(

Edit 6:

NOT SO FAST!!!

I restored my backed up ROM, left the radio as it was (5.14.05.17), DID NOT FLASH RIL and followed what DomFel said as below:

ITS NOW WORKING NICELY!
[Desire General] Bhups:
Did you try use clockworks recovery to flash it?

Not to worry, damn phone scared the crap out of me!!! just left it battery pulled out and then put it back together 10mins later and now it works.

It just powered on itself and did not respond to me powering it on.
[Desire General] jonata:
no, to flash radio us eonly bootloader ... but I don't know hot to flash ril ....
[Desire General] kamarius:
Hi,

Sorry for being a noob, but do these radios affect the quality of in-call sound?

Can a radio version perform better or worse when speaking of in-call sound quality?

Thanks.
[Desire General] Bhups:
Have you get any recovery software like the Clockworks Recovery http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Its recommended you flash this on your device and then use it to apply any roms (radio or other) to your device.

It will also let you do backups so you can restore your entire rom to a state you want it at.
[Desire General] jonata:
<i've it

so use CWR for flash ril ?
[Desire General] Bhups:
Yep thats it.

However you should not have to do it as I didnt need it.
[Desire General] crapula512:
It can't directly affect sound quality but it can affect network reception.

If you have a huge difference between 2 radios in network reception it can be perceived as a lower sound quality while in call. In the real world it has no effect at all.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
OK, so can someone please clarify.

I am running Oxygen 2.0 RC6 (AOSP - Gingerbread) and I have just flashed 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 via fastboot.

My question is - do I need to flash an RIL?

Thanks

[Desire General] jastonas:
I have the oxygen hboot and would also like to know more in detail how to flash the radio...

Also.. isn't this list a bit outdated?

Where are the newer radios?
[Desire General] :
The latest radio 32.54 works fine with my Desire. It saves more battery than 32.49 and has just as fast a gps-lock. Only doubt is the wifi-connection strenght.

I use 32.54 with setCPU and a power-optimezed profile on MIUI
[Desire General] jastonas:
Where can one find the 32.54 radios...?

I'm using MCR r10 which includes 32.49 which should have the same RIL as 32.54 as mentioned, just wanna download the RIL just in case
[Desire General] chareos12:
Hi ppl,

I'd be very interested in some user experiences in Italy (preferably 3), between 32.44 and 32.54

speaking, in an importance order, of

- 3g signal strength

- 2g signal strength

- battery usage

- GPS functional (even using tricks like GPS status or something)

For me this is VERY IMPORTANT because:

- I deadly need a little more 3g signal strength. Even 1 bar more is epic victory.

- I wish to avoid to try every single radio to find my best one. I somewhat bricked phone a few months ago - totally following instructions - by flashing radio, and got struck with a very high battery usage; phone been swapped in-warranty by HTC. I'd just try 32.54 (if true benefits have been noticed by ... you ! ) and, if no joy, back to 32.44 with no further stops.

Many thanks for any opinion !
[Desire General] firefexx:

I wanted to give another chance to the 32.54 radio this afternoon, and just got the same crappy results: got too many dropped calls, and couldn't hear the other person even when I got 2-3 bars of signal. Looks like the signal bars are kinda fake: even if the reception is really poor the phone kept showing 2-3 bars. Simply unacceptable.

Went back to 32.49 freaking fast, stable and nice on the battery!

hi, sorry for my silly question:

with 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 yesterday I saw conncetion speed 65M (and not 54M as usually). Is it true that it supports 802.11n?
[Desire General] jsel:
It depends on the kernel module, not the radio firmware. Desires hardware is n compatible, and many roms have the required modules.
[Desire General] kremori:
Same for me it seems that it works fine but wifi signal bar is not stable keeps going up and down
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
Are you sure about that? As far as I could see, only Desire Z and Desire HD support the 802.11n mode. Do you think the marketing division at HTC has slipped that under the carpet and forgot to advertise it? :) It would be wonderful if so!
[Desire General] crapula512:
yes, he is right. desire supports wifi N but not with stock roms, most kernels now a days bring N support.
