Almost it isn't strongly recommened to install the special ril's for a new radio - problems without are very rarely - but if you got - for example hard battery drain in a short time and poor call quality you should give a new ril a try.

And sorry I haven't found a real good place in the web atm where u can get ril's for all radio version :-/ u need to google it or search it at xdadevs - good luck!

btw: if you need the ril's for 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 or 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 I can send it to you - PN me ^^
[Desire General] roma_pop:
I had to use for more than week radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, and i have bad experience , during a call i had to keep moving (by car or walking) and i lost my conversation, assume not correctly changing radio base stations.

So i switched again to 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Thanks

Hi guys I took the liberty to do a testing on these radio. I compare the latest radio with radio .48 .

I notice that contrary to ppl belief that .48 make battery last longer in reality the energy consumption of each radio seem to be the same.except the latest radio have more consistent CPU usage. Which I believe make it more efficient in terms of energy saving. BTW I use power tutor frm market to analyse. Hope other can verify this.

3g connectivity consume double the cost of energy compare to using WiFi.

...feels for me more like quadruple XD

[Desire General] xNixon:
what about adding a changelog for each new radio ?!

what's the point of upgrading if you dont know the changes ?

im still on the stock radio that came with my device, tried quite i few tho but just laggs up the phone and causes problems no matter what rom i run..

mainly changes are ment for the country the radio's origin is, makes no difference for people outside that country then i guess ?

guess what im saying is "Give us changelog..." haha

[Desire General] lilhaloshaka:
Hello there, I've just rooted my HTC Desire.

I've noticed my GPS, and Google maps isn't finding my location. This could be a radio problem. I was wondering which of these stock radios are good to flash with my OS ?

( Telus Froyo )

I've looked at tutorials on how to flash the radio but, wasn't really clear enough for me to confidently do it. If someone can kindly go through the steps thoroughly for me it would be greatly appreciated as well.

Hope someone can help, thank you.
[Desire General] addoyle:
All-out need to do is;

* download chosen radio file to your pc

* rename the file to be called update.zip

* get the file onto your SD card (too dir, not in a folder). I use dropbox but you can connect to your PC and then drag to your SD card.

* boot to recovery and then flash the update.zip.

This assumes you have a recovery image and have done a backup.

Good luck, the latest radio seems to drain battery for most including me.

[Desire General] VanGog:
I'm quite confused about all these Radio versions.

Can somebody suugest which version would be best for battery life?
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
That seems to depend on a lot of factors - your ROM, usage, network/location. Which is why the usual advice here is "try them and see what works for you".

Personally I've tried 3 or 4 and not found the battery life to be remarkably different between them, just some (modest) variation in reception and more marked differences in speed of gps fix. But others report much more significant effects.
[Desire General] BetaV:
jup - at the first radio versions I've seen only little different things too - like GPS fix speed.

But with 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 and my actual radioversion 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 I've a strange increase of Wifi and net signal. At places with bad signal before (like 1 bar of HSDPA) I've now 3 ... same with Wifi Signal in my garden - first 0 or 1 bar in any corners - now 2 or 3 as minimum!

If it drains the bettery much more? I feel no significant difference.

Thats my experience.
[Desire General] chichoko:
If i install a new RIL, in order to get back to the default one my rom was using, what do i need to do? Just flash the ROM on top or do i need to do a full wipe and then install the ROM anew?
[Desire General] GADGTGUY:
It's funny you should mention this, because I came to this thread for the exact same reason.

I have a Telus Desire and have had nothing but GPS problems for about two weeks.

I am rooted, running different ROMS, and I have tried every Radio under the sun to try and fix it.

It appears to either be a hardware issue or other threads have eluded to a Google Maps issue....

I don't think it is the radio.....

[Desire General] kimozabe:
hmm after updating the radio last 2 times i loose service totally when trying to surf the web, i regain service a while after but everytime i try surf with the phone it disappears.

Anyone seen or heard about this before?

first radio change came when i installed a newer stock froyo, 32.44.x and 32.49.x is behaving the same. radio issue or something else issue?
[Desire General] kda2:
Can anoyone tell me what exactly radio version was in stock Froyo update (for AMOLED phones, Europe)?

Some time ago I've flashed latest radio and probably since then have started my problems with microphone. I thought it didn't work at all but today I decided to test it again (before sending to service) and I noticed it works, but very, very quiet. So, maybe it's a problem with right radio version? Currently I've got 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 delivered with RUU HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2 (I've unrooted my Desire).
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
For unbranded phones it was 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (with the 2.10.405.2 OTA update).

Orange UK released their 2.2 update with 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30, which is the subject of another thread in this forum.

Having said that, I'd have thought that the radio included in an RUU would be well tested with that ROM. For info I'm currently using the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 radio with my handset (using teppic74's rooted stock froyo, based on the slightly earlier Android build given above, & RichardTrip v5e kernel) with no mic problems - GSM reception a little stronger than the .44. radio, GPS fix much faster, too early to really say on battery but not dramatically worse.
[Desire General] kda2:
Thank you. I hope flashing this would help me (I've tried older radios before - no effect). If not… phone goes to service :/
[Desire General] jullejul:
witch radio is best? i mean on the battery :)
[Desire General] Radikaal:
32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 or 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 for me, and most people i know that live in Sweden.

Using 1st right now with defrost rom (that has ril to it) and the last 2 weeks i never had this good battery, always get 48hours+ before it goes below 10%, thats with screen on with usage for 5 or 6 hours, wifi on for 12hours+, 3g on always and data off only when i sleep. Less then 1%/hour with 3g+data and sync on and 0.5%/less/hour with data off, dont think i can get any better then that from a radio now when my battery has been used for many months.
[Desire General] Eej:
I got the same thing, my GPS hasn't been working properly for the last two weeks. Sometimes it gets a lock after a minute of trying but usually it just doesn't work. I'm on the Telus Desire unlocked under Rogers.
[Desire General] lufchigh:
THIS IS PROBABLY A STUPID QUESTION, BUT WHER DO THESE RADIO/RIL UPDATES COME FROM? ARE THEY PRODUCED BY HTC? IN WHICH CASE WHY ARE THEY NOT PROVIDED ON THEIR WEBSITE OR UPDATED OTA?

AM I BEING THICK (AGAIN :confused:)
[Desire General] c4p3fi3rr:
Hi, i'm having problems with mobile data connection for a couple of weeks. It seems like the last 2 radio versions have this problem. I've read that most RILs are taken off from ota updates from mobile operators, and since my Desire is an unbranded amoled, am i better off using the radio image that came with htc ota updates? Which version should i try?
[Desire General] rajivenator:
My Question is .. Can we use the latest available RIL for older radios say for example 5.27 ril for 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30
[Desire General] morcus:

[Desire General] RedSkyRoad:
Hi guys,

I Need help...

I boot into recovery (AmonRa) then "update from zip" and choose the latest radio image. It installs radio and reboots...

Then I get back to Recovery and it stays on the following message

"Formatting CACHE:..."

What should happen? How long should i leave it? do i choose an option to reboot now?

If the option to reboot is on the screen, then the cache format is already done (only takes half a second usually). :)

Hello everyone,

I've got a question about flashing the radio rom:

I (think) i need to do this because android crahsed when i try to record a video. The phone (Desire) reboots after 3 seconds.

I have leedroid installed as the custom rom.

However: Can i update a radio rom as the same way as a custom rom?

So for me: Download a radio rom. Put it on the SDCard en choose ''update from sdcard'' from the customer recovery menu? I don't need to use the android sdk USB drivers anymore??? (this is written in the manual on the front page)

Kind Regards,
[Desire General] OpenMinded:
Hi all,

Just for your info.

I update my radio from 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.

The first is the original HTC desire european radio AFAIK.

The latter is the most recent one I found here.

I updated because my battery life sucks.

Just before flash I used CurrentWidget to check the mA.

It seems a bit laggy, but I get the impression that usage with screen on has dropped a bit, it is now around 120 mA when doing nothing with screen on.

With 3G on and screen of it is 4mA.

3G connection seems te same, GPS gives no trouble too, might even be fixing faster.

When using the device I saw between 220 and 360 mA (short test).

Hope this helps anyone.

Personally, I would be interested in:

- real differences between these version

- origin of the device the radio is from

By the way, I am running the MIUI 0.11.26 ROM, without doing anything with RIL (since I do not understand it :) )
[Desire General] BetaV:
Screen has nothing to do with the radio rom - only things like 3g,WLAN,GPS...all antenna related things.
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
Yes, exactly that: copy to SD card, flash from recovery same as any other zip, reboot the phone (it will finish the install when you reboot). Don't interrupt the process once you've started it, just let it finish.
[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
I also went to flash from 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 to the most current one. Hopefully this may solve my Wifi problem. Fingers crossed.
[Desire General] xiaoxinfengha:
This is really good.Thanks.
[Desire General] edwardally:
after flash the latest version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 and I lost my S-Off. I can't turn it off again. anyone can help?
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
You cannot lose your s-off, and it is not connected to radio at all. If you don't have s-off now, you didn't have it before.

The only other way to get rid off it -namely using fast boot with a stock hboot- is very very unlikely... You stuff would have noticed this...

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire General] edwardally:
Ok... good explaination. (off topic - mind to PM and guide me to the way to s-off since you using desire s-off as well? I did try unrevolked 3 but no luck)
[Desire General] Droidzone:
Unrevoked doesnt S-OFF. Alpharev does.
[Desire General] Droidzone:
Maybe he flashed an RUU
[Desire General] edwardally:
Great.. Just get it done and now I'm s-off. Thanks!

So far 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 is working fine for my desire. will update u all again if anything goes wrong with this version... Thanks again.:p
[Desire General] TiN-MAN:
Using Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

On HTC Desire Stock firmware 2.2.

So far I have not encountered any problems.

Battery life seems be quite improved from radio 32.44.. something something (Can't remember the exact version). Though I think WiFi and Edge/3G usage drains more power than before and less when idle.

WiFi seems to connect and transfer faster.

For me Edge/3G is better in low signal areas.

CurrentWidget reports 3-5mA usage when the phone is idle. :cool:

Update: Recently I have noticed that wireless network stops working after a 15-20 min. being idle. Disabling wifi and re-enabling it again, fixes it for some time :-/
[Desire General] traspler:
For me here in Switzerland the .27 Radio was terrible. Nothing was working as it should have.
[Desire General] wasabah:
In my case (o2 Germany, MIUI 12.3) somehow only one radio is working at all: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.

Whenever I flash another radio (with or without RIL), I lose reception altogether about 5 minutes after booting the phone. If I reboot, same problem.
[Desire General] Mike Philippens:
I also flashed the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (with matching RIL) today on my MIUI 12.3 but it doesn't work for me. After a reboot, I can do some data, but when I try to make one phonecall, it gets cut off and I don't have any service whatsoever after that. A reboot brings it back, but as soon as I touch the phone (ie: try to make a call), connection is gone again.

I refashed the radio and ril again to ensure everything was ok, wiped the Dalvik, but no change. I'll go back to an older version now.

[edit]Hmmm...reverting back to 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 didn't solve the problem. Not sure what the problem is. I used 12.3 for a couple of days w/o any problem. Maybe I'll just re-flash 12.3 and see if it persists.

[edit2]

Re-flash worked. Still with 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 'cause I don't want to risk the newer radio. It seems that 5.30 has better batterylife anyway.
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
Flashing ril.might not always be the right solution. I would always try without ril first. Why?

Sure the flashed ril works prefect with your radio, but there is no proof,.your rom runs perfect with the new ril.

In fact,a rom incompatible with the ril can screw a lot up...

[Desire General] alphaola:
Whats the difference
[Desire General] tonyyeb:
Flashed to the Modaco ROM yesterday and included the updated radio (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27). When I called my wife she said she could hear herself talking. I noticed a few other people has remarked the same so it was suggested to flash to 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, but no improvement.

If I mute the mic on my phone during the call then the other person does not hear an echo of themselves thus fixing the problem. I've also tried covering the speaker and mic but neither stops the echo, only muting the mic using the dialer software works.

Anyone else getting this problem? Should I try an older RADIO image?

[Desire General] Sjonnie-Doe:
Same for me here in The Netherlands, bad GSM/GPRS/HSDPA and WiFi signal. I tried 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, but wasn't good either. Now i'm working with 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23, and the signals are mutch, mutch better. Maybe i'll try some other radio's just to compare one another.

First i thought the signal problems were related to the %$^$^#*$ network of T-Mobile, but that seemed not to be the case (although the network sucks).

Installed 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 on RCmixHD0.14OF 2 days ago and using current widget its showing consistent 1% power loss every hour on sleep/standby. This is with H/3g on - BT off - wifi off - google/weather/friendstream/stocks all set to sync every 2 hours.

I am not sure if this is "good" or not. Anyone have an opinion about this?? Would be interested to know. I think 1%/hour loss on standby is good but not sure how it compares to others:confused:

btw. When the screen is in sleep mode current widget shows drain of 2-4 mA with the occassional jump to ~250mA presumably when it is sync'ing every couple of hours. With screen on it draws between 150 & 300mA with screen set to 20% brightness. Everything else ok, reception, wifi, BT etc etc. :)

You should not install update.zip but should select the radio zip e.g. 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.zip. Than apply, reboot, it will restart twice I believe from then on and you're done.

Radio flash for Desire CDMA

Hey all, been reading thru a few of these posts & just have a couple questions: First I could not find a valid link to download the file needed for my phone- I have a HTC Desire (CDMA) running what shows to be: Baseband version- 2.05.10.08.11 & am recently expierencing poor signal quality after rooting having it rooted a few months ago- so I need to know what is the best/newest update for my model phone, where or who can provide me a link & wether or not I need a specific CDMA version? Also 1 last thing, if this fails or has issues during so, am I able to resort back to the one I had without being hosed? would GREATLY appreciate some knowledable feedback to avoid any bricking of the phone plz- thanks!:confused:
[Desire General] wuub:

[Desire General] azz4eva:
Choose which radio you want and if you dont like it then either revert or choose another. You can't Brock it :) hope this helps
[Desire General] rraaka:
thanks wuub

id almost given up on getting an answer. i mean if dates of release were written against each radio we'd be able to make out which is a Froyo release and which is prior ?

in my experience of flashing radios for GSM Desire ive released that i always end up with an android out of the box while rebooting to complete installation. The best thing is not to panic and pull out the battery but wait coz the sign just goes away on its own and the phone reboots eventually. and i never flash a rom and radio together coz ive a tendency to panic :o
[Desire General] chareos12:
Hi guys.

A few months ago, I tried to flash a newer radio on my desire (32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 if I remember correctly), from my stock 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.

I flashed it just like any rom.

Now, while I got really improved signal strength, I also had my battery usage totally shattered (100+ mA / minute, up from 7-8 mA / minute).

Horrified by that, I tried to revert back... only to discover that, whatever radio I tried to flash (even much older ones !) I still got stuck with variable signal strength and high battery usage. In a sentence, no further radio flash seemed to really take place, if not for version - correctly changed in settings menu.

Problem was solved by bringing phone to HTC, they changed the system board.

Today I stil look at this thread, really needing for some better radio strength.

But I'm also worried about that strange issue I had.

Have you ever heard about that guys ?

Any solution in case it happens, or any hints not to have it happen again ?

Thanks
[Desire General] ehe12:
Great stuff! Thanks very much!
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
Word of caution: a bad radio flash can brick a phone, and as CDMA is a different radio interface to GSM, I would not think it a good idea to flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA handset (if it lets you).
