[Desire HD General] ShadowPony:
the problem with the RILs in the RIL thread is that they are from Sense GB ROMs

and Sense GB based RILs and not compatible (fully) with AOSP/AOKP/ICS/JB based ROMs

so changing to a Sense RIL will break some if not all of the radio functionality (some ppl experience only wifi loss, others only 3G connectivity) ans so on
[Desire HD General] max-555:
I want reply to you but saw shadow pony already did it. Hope you will have success with ril in the future even if you don't have idea what other ppl suggesting. Good luck.
[Desire HD General] BolecDST:
Sigh. Using THIS RIL with 26.17.14.11_M radio WITH ICS Sense roms and no problems at all since October 2012. Tried it with different Sabsa and ViperDHD versions. Moreover I noticed improvement in signal strength.

[hint]how did we get the newest radio, what is the origin? [hint2]the radio and ril are from september 2012[/hint]
[Desire HD General] krzych:
As far as I know it's much better to have same lib as the 'hardware' than same lib as the system. 'Hardware' means in this case the flashed part of... software. RIL is just an interface to the real software onboard the radio. Having different one is asking for problems. The separate problem is to find _working_ radio with the system. HTC is creating good drivers for their radios, you can find many roms with really fabulous reception, but there are many with poor one which means only that rom should be patched for HTC, nothing more. If the Cyanogen guys do not care, it's not worthwhile. And I know they don't care as they don't care about GPS. I tried one day to help debug issue which was open for two years and only thing I've managed was impolite reply from the guy managing issues.

So basically what I want to say is that teaching ppl that rom has better RIL is a lie. It just has WORKING one. As my forespoker said, he and I are living proofs that there is much space for improvement selecting better one.

Hi

I'm new at this radio thing

Can anyone tell me how can I find my radio version on my mobile?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] yumm91:
You can find it in about phone > baseband version
[Desire HD General] banditboy13:
Mine is:

12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.04_m

Which new vision should I put?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
I've been using the newest one from this thread since last Sept without issue. If you're using JellyBean 4.2, I think you need to be using one of the latest 2 radios for everything to work right.
[Desire HD General] banditboy13:
I'm using jellybean and plan to stick on it

Which versions do you recommend?

Sorry for my questions, but I want to do this update right
[Desire HD General] humzaahmed155:
The latest radio is from December 2011, you can try that, currently im running the June 2012 version (unknown source) and I haven't had the slightest issue yet, so far its worked with every ROM I've flashed
[Desire HD General] BolecDST:
The latest radio, 26.17.14.11_M, is from September 2012. Just try it. It doesn't matter what rom you're on, it works great on both GB and ICS and JB.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
The latest is the one in my signature that I'm using.
[Desire HD General] banditboy13:
I live in the middle east, and i want to support the network operators here.

does that make a difference for this radio?
[Desire HD General] humzaahmed155:
You could always try it, if it doesn't work flash the old radio back
[Desire HD General] banditboy13:
How would I know if it's not working?
[Desire HD General] :
I have a small question..currently I'm on viperdhd. I haven't ever changed radio but after reading the directions I plan on flashing a radio but do I need to flash a ril as well ? I usually use cm10 but I wanted something different

?

Ps..does anyone have a link to the latest radio
[Desire HD General] humzaahmed155:
If the phone cannot connect to a network properly, you'll find out then, if that's the case you can flash the old one back
[Desire HD General] rjand:
If you are flashing an ICS or Jellybean ROM (CM9, 10 or 10.1, or equivalent AOSP or AOKP versions) you do not need and should not flash a RIL. Just flash the radio. The RIL is included in those ROM's.
[Desire HD General] BolecDST:
Oh god. And we're back to the same ol' crap from the page before. There's a ril for the newest radio, you can try it. If it won't help [or make things worse] you can always reflash a rom or do a nandroid restore, but it might help you. I noticed improvement after flashing it with ICS Sense roms.
[Desire HD General] AtomosVE:
Someone said cellular network(3g) won't turn on. theirs had 4.0.0036HM (May 23 2012, 22:58:09) and Sabsa Prime v8 had same. and maybe still recent version. even yours is older than that.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37237567&postcount=575

could you tell us previous RIL version and Radio firmware version?

While my dhd runs GB Sense, that RIL and Radio corresponds each other worked best. but in ICS... flashed another RIL then no signal.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
This is the accepted norm. The flashable radio files are the firmware for the radio hardware in your phone. The RIL is the interface between the radio and the Android OS. ICS and Jellybean ROM's come with the RIL included, older versions of Android such as GingerBread don't so the user has to install a RIL corresponding to their radio version. Flashing a RIL made for Gingerbread or older will most likely not work in newer versions of Android as the interface is different.
[Desire HD General] SWolfram:
Hi!

I'm on Jellytime 42 R5 (PACMAN 20.0.1 rom). This rom had some GPS issues, so I flashed the 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M radio (and updated the RIL via GetRIL). Unfortunaltely, my GPS improved just a little bit, locking not more than 1 sattelite.

Am I on the right radio or should I try to flash another one? If so, which one?

Model: Desire HD

Provider: Vodafone

Country: Netherlands
[Desire HD General] iopetja:
I've read and tried, but need a little help, since I ain't the first owner of device.

Phone was aahk rooted (should give "one step radio-off, eng-off and superCID").

Bootloader says "eng-off", and CID is HTC__032. Ran gfree to check radio-s-off, is seems not to be off (gives no response)

RIL is HTC 2.2 (sept 24, 2010)

Radio 26.10.04 (pretty younger)

If I flash the latest radio, will it be downgradable(afraid not)?

I'm on cfx 4.2.1 which has optimised RIL, however, it's not in function, but the old one is. How to make it work?

Radio issue,

first of all sorry for my noobness :cowboy:

currently using below radio(see attached picture),

actual problem is related my battery due to radio ( i think), when i am on network my battery last only 8-10 hrs with very very less usage but when i goes on airplane mode, battery life goes to 1.5 day or more. some body in xda told that there may be radio issue ... what you people say?

how can i solve this problem? what would be best radio for me.. i am currently on Viper dhd 2.2.0 ROM.
[Desire HD General] iopetja:
8-10 hrs standby or use? If it's use, than it's completely normal.

Latest radio could make a difference, but don't forget the ril if using sense ROM.

I'd also make a backup and tried clean/different ROM. Every custom ROM can easily temp you to overcustomise and get record battery drains. Same applies for dosen of active widgets/apps with small sync intervals. Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

And also turn of the maps wakelocks in every ROM you put on:

8-10 hrs is stand bye time (means in these 8-10 hrs there is only 20-30 min screen On time just for reading 10--12 messages and answer 2--3 call only. and as i told when i switch On airplane mod my battery last for 1.5--2 days (just checked). this means there is problem in radio etc thing. i could not understand which is that, so asking you expert peoples :victory:

i have a new battery which is 1.5 month old only.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

no my wifi is OFF most of time. and GPS is always OFF

8-10 hrs is stand bye time (means in these 8-10 hrs there is only 20-30 min screen On time just for reading 10--12 messages and answer 2--3 call only. and as i told when i switch On airplane mod my battery last for 1.5--2 days (just checked). this means there is problem in radio etc thing. i could not understand which is that, so asking you expert peoples :victory:
[Desire HD General] iopetja:
Ok, first try going to recovery and delete battery stats.

Then try with radio (+ril while on sense ROM), than try with clean or other ROM (aosp codefirex sr11,for example)

Keep in mind that every ROM needs at least couple of days to "make peace" with battery.

If you still get the same result, get a new battery (no matter how old it is)

You must look if the zip file contains 2 files, one radio.img and another android file.txt. If doesn't it will not work
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Yeah its updated a little, when I pull the notification bar down it says its in USB debugging mode, so I'm assuming its in charge only as well because there is no drive mounted to my PC.

[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Okay tried this, it found my device again, then it does that search for ADB drivers but i get the message saying that the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
have you got htc sync installed
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Nope, dont have that installed.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
is Cyanogen a non sense rom? if so that could be why its not working if so you might have to flash a sense rom first like leedroid and reset all your drivers to computer to flash the rom if it a sense rom then im stuck
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Okay let me try flashing LeeDroid.

Edit - I'm trying the Android Revolution instead.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
unistall your drivers again un plug your phone and then install htc sync from here

then plug back in wait till drivers install then try command prompt
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Its asking for username and password to download that htc sense??
[Desire HD General] leith51:
you dont need to try any to be honest i thought you already had htc sync installed most ppl do
[Desire HD General] leith51:
sorry try this link go to bottom of screen dropdown box above download open and click htc sync then click download you dont need to run the sync just install it

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=324&cat=3&dl_id=982
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Thanks, got it Android Revolution and HTC Sync installed now...the drivers are installed too. Yeah I downloaded Cynogen first didn't know it might stop a radio from flashing.

Will try cmd, just need a restart first.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
so now you should go through as before and after you type adb devices it should show serial number
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Perfect :D Okay showed serial number...now progress with fastboot flash radio radio.img ?
[Desire HD General] leith51:
type fastboot

and see if loads of info comes up tell me if it does
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
It does come up yes
[Desire HD General] leith51:
have you gone in to the bootloader screen on your phone

[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Yeap i'm inside bootloader with FASTBOOT USB in RED.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
good good :D lets do step by step

can you confirm you dragged and dropped the radio.img file you want to flash into the tools folder
[Desire HD General] HSBadhan:
Yeap radio file is within the tools folder ..the file is named radio
[Desire HD General] HanZie82:
I had that to and it was because i opened the .ZIP file wich i downloaded, but thats not needed. Just rename and copy/move.

If that's not it im sorry but i can't help you further. Hope you get it working tho. As for me it works really well. Goodluck.

Just flashed the radio and its working fine but when i flash the matching ril my network stops working altogther

[Desire HD General] Gio_ital:
Works perfect without flashing ril :)

If you read the this thread you will find out that is no need to flash ril if you are using ics or jb rom but it's only for sense roms before ics. But I must say that for me works fine even on gingerbread without flashing ril.

I use 12.65.60.29x_26.14.04.28 because works better for me ;)
[Desire HD General] ttocs99:
Well im on cyanogenmod7 and its working a treat without flashing ril :thumbup:

Ill try this radio for a wile then for some reason its not to my standards ill try the radio your on hehe :D

Yes you are right .

Zip has only one file ( radio.img ) .

I have encountered a problem with the radio and ril.

I flashed a new ROM and there was no signal (DHD could not detect sim card).

I have tried these radios and RILs but they are not working:

12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M

12.68.60.29_26.16.04.09_M

What should I do?

Format everything except sdcard for a clean rom install reinstall your chosen rom let it boot then Just flash the radio of your choice but dont flash the ril and you should be good to go i had this trouble myself it only hapens on gingerbread

is the newest Radio:12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M - AT&T Inspire 4G

Can some1 advise me in which one to take?

Hello rjand

Can You confirm or deny:

does this radio supports HSPA+ (900 MHz)?
[Desire HD General] rjand:
How do I check? All I know (at the minute) is that I can get H or 3G connections but I don't know if I am getting the full speed available in that area.
[Desire HD General] heywheelie:
What will happen if I go from using the latest radio with an AOKP rom and flash a sense rom which may not have a matching ril built-in?
[Desire HD General] heywheelie:
I notice that the android-info.txt inside the latest radio Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M only applies to cid number CWS__001. My DHD is a vodafone australia.

Do I assume correctly that if I was to attempt to flash this radio on my DHD that either

A. It would not flash and I would get an error of Incompatible device or something similar

B. I would brick my DHD

C. It would flash and be fine.

Which is the most likely?

If this radio doesn't work on my DHD what is the latest radio for a vodafone australia DHD?

cheers

EDIT: Nevermind. I installed that radio using the bootloader method. Simple and painless as well as quick. Flashed matching RIL as well. All good.

[Desire HD General] WenzHere:
i run moProject42 ROM (4.2.2 non-sense ROM), i updated my radio using this method and it worked.

but now i want to revert to my previous radio version, because this radio version somehow broke my gps. (my phone cant detect any satellite), i tried some other ROMs but still no luck. i believe the problem is with this radio.

i have a problem using the radio_flash.zip method, it said "device offline"

i have searched about the problem : reinstalling htc sync (latest version), try different usb port, using different cable, and did this in 2 different PC.. but still didnt solved the problem.

my question is : can i use this method to revert back my radio, by replacing the radio.img file in this file with other radio.img file? will it work?

or how to create this .zip file using other radio.img file?

thank you

Latest Radio 26.17.14.11 vs. recommended by ARHD 26.14.04.28

Hi.

I'm using DHD primarily for navigation/in car. Until a few days ago a had ARHD's recommended radio (26.14.04.28) for a very long time. But using JellyTime.

Then I flashed latest radio 26.17.14.11.

My observations:

I live in Slovenia, EU. With old Radio I gor GPS fix in 5 seconds (cold boot, average).

After flashing latest radio, GPS would take as long as 2 min to get a fix. But there's more. It was pointing to wrong location - around 50/150 meters from where I was. And it was always jumping all over the map. It would loose GPS signal constantly.

So... GPS was way way worse.

---

WiFi: There it seems to be some improvement. I didn't had any problems before but with latest radio it was always displaying only a couple of bars but I think connection was better in bad conditions. So never full bars but connection was more stable.

---

As far as WCDMA and GSM modes, I didn't test them for speed but I think they are about the same or better as users report.

---

So If you are living in EU and need GPS stay away. However you can always flash previous version of radio so if you feel confident, experiment.

Hope that helps someone...

WenzHere: You need to use USB2. Boot your phone in fastboot and then connect your phone to computer via USB. Then install google latest usb drivers. Check in Device Manager that there is no exclamation point for your phone. (Android something/My HTC - that says on my computer.)

Then download SDK and install platform-tools and place radio.img in that folder. Using cmd, flash whatever radio you want.

If that doesn't work, I can help you, but you must provide more details....

I have Win8 x64 and had problems and didn't find a solution until I connect my phone from USB3 to USB2.

[Desire HD General] MacPryden:
Hi from Portugal too.

You can flash 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09_M radio without any problems.

But as the other users said and I saw many of them use the lastest radio "something...26.17.xx.xx"

I am using that radio on portugal too with TMN or/and Vodafone too without any problems.

The cellular network is better inside houses/buildings, gps I am not remembered about last radios, but out of buildings on street/sky, I got GPS fix between 5-10 seconds. And maybe with the help of GPS Status App.

Wifi is good and stable too even on weak connections.

Check if you have disable "not connect to weak wifi networks", on wifi settings of android.

The only one not good thing about this last radio 26.17.xx.xx that I always stayed with the doubt, is if this radio drain a little more battery, because of gsm/3g network.

I think that 26.14.xx.xx was maybe better on battery relative on cellular network, but was really long time ago, I do not remember well.

I have 26.17.xx.xx too many months, maybe already 1 year that I have this radio here on Portugal.

Cheers of I help something, and it's a pleasure to help and hit "thanks" button too =)

is it possible to flash radio directly from fastboot instead of having to go through windows, i only run debian/ubuntu and i dont have the tools others have on windows to "fast easy flash" radio.
[Desire HD General] rjand:
Yes. Read the first couple of posts of this thread, post 3 has the latest radio. Rename it and put it on the root of your sdcard then boot into recovery and it will automatically update.
