Quick feedback - Radio seems fine, GPS fix very fast, Wireless fine, very good reception (H in an area, where occasionally I only have G). This is only short feedback to give you green light, so you can at least give that a try. Our guy from Taipei might not be very good with his English, so we should apologize the lack of info, at least another reason to flash and test - so thx @ taipei ;)
[Desire HD General] BigMango:
Same here, first GPS fix in less that 10 seconds and GPS accuracy down to 10 meters. My GPS has never been so fast and precise :)

3G signal seems better too.

Tested in western Europe on RCMix HD 5.8.

Where did this come from anyway or haven't we established this yet? this could mean a new leaked ROM? ;)
[Desire HD General] skyli91:
Is this really newer? Its March 8
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Pretty good on battery, mobile signal, Wifi and GPS. Android system at 7% usage (probably unrelated)...
[Desire HD General] he_stheone64:
Best guess - from the final release...;)
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test gives me great reception and battery life in the city but I was out in the countryside over the weekend and it was killing my battery trying to look for a 3G signal. With Cingular I even get H out there so I'm back on that now.

Always seem to go back to Cingular :D
[Desire HD General] he_stheone64:
Or now you try 26.08.04.07_M3 :D
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Already tried that one, before the one I just changed ;)

Battery drain was little higher than Cingular with no real improvement to signal strength ;)
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Just to relieve some worried minds, I got some interesting info a while ago when a guy mistakenly flashed scrap data into radio partition. He was in ARHD IRC channel, and we sorted it out. His device still works fine.

What happened:

The guy followed too many guides at the same time, and made a simple mistake. As you all know, radios can be flashed using command:

fastboot flash radio radio_name.img

He made a "small" mistake, and used command:

fastboot flash radio recovery.img

Which obviously resulted in a mess. Please note that ENG S-OFF can be translated to "do what you want" -ticket, so the recovery was really flashed into the radio partition. Even the red flashing bar went almost to finish. I suspect that in the end of flashing, the device tries to initialize it's new radio. This failed, and the whole device froze in bootloader screen.

What we tried:

fastboot flash radio radio.img, of course

fastboot devices

But the communication bridge was down, the phone was completely frozen

He had to pull out the battery

Result??

This is only speculation, but I am almost sure that the device started using a hard coded radio (for emergency situations like this). The phone booted fine into Android, and then we went to hboot fastboot mode and flashed a new radio, properly this time.

Conclusion:

Flashing radios is not as dangerous as people usually think. Thank you HTC.

RADIO for UK Gingerbread ROM?

First of all apologies for not reading the entire thread to find the answer.

What is the best RADIO for UK Gingerbread ROM?

I’ve tried 12.35d.60.140fU_26.06.03.24_M2 and currently running 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M. My biggest problem is GPS. It takes 10-15 min (yes minuets, not seconds:mad:) to get lock on. I understand cloud does effects this and here in London we have lots of it but it never use to take this much time on Froyo ROM.

Also are there different radios for Froyo and Gingerbread ROM or any radio can be used?

Many thanks
[Desire HD General] maddler:
can't (and don want to :cool:) verify that. But I'd say that the flash operation was just attempted and not completed (e.g. size mismatch) and most likely you are using previous radio. Checked version?

Cheers
[Desire HD General] maddler:
That's not a good start. Most likely that very same question has been asked hundreds of times.

BTW, I'd personally go for: "just test and find the one which best fits"
[Desire HD General] leith51:
Did I not tell you about the incident when I flashed a radio from the desire s to desire hd it sort of did the same the phone froze when rebooted but once battery was pulled was able to get into fastboot and reflashed back to a previous radio

Sent from Pluto
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
The radio partition was indeed flashed with recovery image. ENG S-OFF allows users to do that.

Leith51's comment pretty much confirms my conclusion :)

Radio is great after testing it a bit. Gps fix very quick. Battery drain normal so far. Keeping it :-)
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
New radio posted under Test section with a huge warning until we don't know the source ROM :)

New Quick Flash Packages added
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Agree with this report, though signal strength does improve, slightly. Battery drain is higher, again, slightly.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
I have a question, once you flash a radio how long does it take to gain full effect?

Proudly swyped with my HTC DESIRE HD XDA App.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
There are not traces left of the old radio after you flash a new one. It does not take any time.
[Desire HD General] Slig06:
Need more tests, but it seems very nice, with reception quality at the same level as Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M, and far less drain in case of medium/bad reception area (both in 2G and 3G). I will probably keep it if i don't get strange disconnections like i got with Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M ...
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
If you mean "full effect" as in batt drains stabilize, I'd say about 2-3 days, after 2-3 cycles of normal drains and recharge cycles. At least once it's full, reboot into recovery and go to advanced to wipe the batt stats.

Been using the new radio (12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3) on RCMixHD_5.8 rom for around 12 hours and so far no problems for me.

All round good connections and battery life has been good so far. Seeing 2-6 mA regularly in standby.
[Desire HD General] fred1050:
is the radio version related to rom version installed ?

I know that rom cooker recommend one, but can I flash a last radio img on a "old" rom version (not to much, it's revo HD 2.1) ?

thanks a lot
[Desire HD General] xinos:
Yup doesn't matter they just recommend it because they thought it gave them best performance this differs for every phone tho.

Installed the latest unknown radio, seems to be working so far ill report back when i get to test it in real life for a bit.

EDIT: Using MIUI 1.4.1
[Desire HD General] fred1050:
thx ! I think to flash the Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M_Test before the last one ... waiting for more test ;)

the Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M_Test seems to be a good one ...

Please explant more detail

- I have Radio S-off

- I have downloaded the Android SDK, and the ADB Drivers are correctly installed on your PC

- I have download new Radio 12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M.rar and Extract to radio.img

- I copy radio.img to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools

- I have reboot into bootloader mode

- But i can't find "From an elevated command prompt, browse to the /tools folder of the Android SDK"

- Elevated command prompt in Computer of DHD ? in Computer can't write ?

Please help ?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Crusoe86:
Good morning :)

If I understand you correct you want to get via command promt (console or however you would call it :)) to your Tools directory to execute commands. Right?

Here is my special solution for you :D Ok... Not only for you, I'm also using it, because I'm to lazy to browse ever time to the tools folder :)

Extract my "Tools CMD.bat" (rename it to whatever you want or leave it as it is :)) and copy it to the tools folder of your Android SDK installation.

I recommend to make shortcut to the desktop for easier access :)

If you open it, then you can enter the commands you want for example "fastboot flash radio radio.img" (of course without quotes).

Happy flashing :)

BTW: This bat file only contains "cmd /K "cls"".

For the rookies:

- "cmd" means "command" (the black "DOS" window)

- "/K" means that the following command will executed (in this case "cls") but the command stay open

- "cls" means "clear screen" or something like that, it makes, that all content of the command will deleted

I hope this little "tool" will help to find your "tool" folder ;)

Where can i get this dll and where to put it?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] iraqisniper:
When im in to bootloader it say S-off do that mean in radio s-offk
[Desire HD General] Crusoe86:
Hm... I did not try it yet... But maybe I will have the same problem...

The file "AdbWinApi.dll" should be in the tools folder...

If it is there than you could try to copy it to "C:\Windows\system" and try fastboot again.

But if you don't have the *.dll, then you can use the one from my tools folder :)

Copy it to your tools folder or to "C:\Windows\system" or both :)

If you have further questions, please ask :)

Im using Android Revolution 2.0.1 but don't have Radio S-Off. I tried the easy one click radio-off but it didnt work.

Current build number shows 1.72.405.3.

Am I right in thinking I cant radio s-off or flash a new radio?

you probably can radio s-off but if the easy tool didnt work, just try the manual guide to radio s-off and it should work.

I flashed Radio_12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M yesterday and my GPS will not lock any more. I'm using google maps and turned off wifi as I want to try and get GPS to lock only.

Any one got any suggestions?

I have CM6.1 and CM kernal.
[Desire HD General] y0.o!:
I just flashed Radio 26.04.02.17 and gps still wont lock on my location :/. Am I missing something? Is this a problem with all DHD's or just these radios?
[Desire HD General] igor.tonky:
gps works on all radios i've tried, including 26.05.02.15 and 26.04.03.30.

just give it time to lock for the first time. leave phone laying down for 30-60 seconds to get initial lock, consequent locks will be fast.

if it still won't lock - get the gps status and see if satellites are detected at all.
[Desire HD General] y0.o!:
It took ages, more like 10 mins but it finally locked. now it just takes a few seconds to find me.

[Desire HD General] lukogriffioen:
Radio also uses some RIL files right. Its best when using matching versions. Mike included RIL files for his recommended radio, so that should perform best. I am using a newer one though which seems to be better. Its a bit hard to monitor connection quality though.

Radios and those RIL files are still a bit mysterious i think.

I would like to use matching RIL files to the radio I'm using. Any place where to get them?

good call quality, possibly less battery drain than recommended radio, and gps locks on quick.

Hopefully will keep it, as long as there's no unforeseen problems come out of the woodwork.

[Desire HD General] KeyperOS:
Flashed the latest radio as well, so far so good but I will report back once I have tested it extensively...
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
I usually give it two or three days or at least a few charge cycles before I make a decision on a radios battery drain... a few hours is too soon to tell, IMO ;)
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Couldn't more agree with you.

This radio is very good in all aspects, at least for my application.

However, battery drain remains debateable. I found it slightly, slightly higher. Had one crackled voice connection, but then it might be the carrier/signal quality. :)
[Desire HD General] eliashadow:
The battery draining depends on lot of things...Like the rom u are using,the kernel,some apps, a bad flashing of the rom even your provider's signal...

In my case i can see no battery issue but exactly the opposite.

So,2 days now tested with RCMix and coredroid now,my battery is better than before even without 2-3 full circles.
[Desire HD General] nteeb:
Has anybody try this new radio with CM7 rc4?
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Yea I know it depends on lots of factors.

For me, being at the same ROM, same kernels, same pattern of usage, same area of usage, same apps, no bad flashing, I can rule out it's the provider's signal.

Besides, I said "it's slightly, slightly higher" (on batt drain). ;)

[Desire HD General] ardsar:
From a data analysis point of view, your peaks do not mean alot. What is more important is your average consumption over a set period of time. People are getting too worried about these small peaks; its becomming a illness lol Also bear in mind that these apps are partial waking the device to take the measurement and write the log - this takes power (although minimal).
[Desire HD General] EmptyArea:
In addition to the above comment.

There is no reliable way to record battery drain at a specific point. Even the average over the course of a few hours it's likely to be flawed. One night you might get 10hours of all -1ma readings with a 4%drop and the next -2ma with spikes all over and a total 10% drop, but due to the hundreds of factors and sheer inaccuracy of the recordings it's not fair to say any changes between the nights had a negative affect.

A simple test to check this to add a music widget to ur home screen, then you can play a game whereby you pay a track for a few seconds then wait for the current widget to update and then repeat without causing any spikes and then do the same with half the play time but cause many spikes. It's all a matter of timing. Intuitively you know which is casing higher drain.

To summarize current watching is a disease that serves a purpose only when the drain is noticeable without a current monitor, even then it's results need to be averaged over many nights and taken with a pinch of salt.

Looool I'm at work at the minute so better be quick, what I needed to know was that if I use radio s-off and eng s-off to flash a radio, but the radio is not good for my phone, how would I change the radio? I don't know how to downgrade, so wondered if I could just flash any other radio on top of the one I already have?? Sorry if it may sound silly but its my first Android phone :-0

Thanks
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
Yup, its like that only, flash the radio you would like to use, if its not good flash another one....use fastboot to do your radio flashing....
[Desire HD General] dazza_84:
Fastboot is the command prompt right? Where u go into your computer and type the commands?? Also is there certain radios NOT to use? Cos I'm on branded Vodafone just wondered if say an Orange radio or unbranded radio would do any harm??

[Desire HD General] Locster126:
so everybody seems happy with the latest radio and standby drain but what about usage drain? When running wifi and browsing, does it consume more then previous radios?

I did a test myself and it seemed to drop 2% every 5 minutes which is bad for me, now I think it might be related to me not wiping battery stats at 100% when restoring my rom but not sure...will give it a shot later.
[Desire HD General] xinos:
When i listen to music about an hour it uses about 6% now. Last radio however did 9%. Overall it seems to use op alot less battery and handle having no signal way better.
[Desire HD General] dazza_84:
Last question mate, u been a great help, would u suggest I try my original stock radio first before trying a completely different radio? Or is it always best/recommended to use the newest/latest radio??

Thank you :-)
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
You should use the radio recommended with your rom (whichever you are flashing), all the rom's recommend radio which should be use with them....but to start it is not required to change the radio, you can flash the ROM and see if its working fine....if you face any issue related to radio like call drop, weak wifi then go on and flash a new one.....

No solid line which one is a best radio, use it and see which one suits your rom...

Oh thanks a lot, Im going to flash rcmix hd but can't seem to find a specific radio for that Rom???

OK, here's sth interesting.

When I first flashed the newest radio I am fairly confident that it was identified as 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 under system information.

However, a couple of days later I check again and now it's saying 12.48.60.23P_26.08.04.07_M3.

What's more, in the beginning it would get a medium-to-poor HSPA signal in my room whereas now I get a really good (87-93 dBm) GPRS signal.

What gives?
[Desire HD General] DomFel:
Same here. Waiting for the next RCMix HD rom and will test that again..
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:

Just to share my feedbacks on the 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3.

I'm on ARHD 3.3.

I do not know whether it is telco related but I do see the data performance has been better than the 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.

It will always stay in "H" mode rather than "3G" while idle and trying to connect as "H" when using data.

The GPS fix is faster even though the DHD is in the silicon cover which is around 10-20 secs.

The battery is draining faster though.
