Going to try that tomorrow, thx. I dont understand why when flashing via recovery it doesnt stick.

Thank you so much for the radio update chiefz
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It's because of the manner in which radios are flashed via recovery. They must have access to a significantly large cache volume which is not the case after customizing your MTD partitions using the most common scheme. It's a lot safer (I'm pretty sure) to just flash a radio via the bootloader anyways.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Zombiac:
Flashing worked just fine from clockwork but I'm still pulling the same speeds so

we'll see later if it does anything else for me, I can't complain that the speed didn't

change because I'm still getting great speed thanks for the newest radio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] televate:
This is great news. Can't wait for the full OTA package.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] azzzz:
can't wait for OTA root...TY!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Holy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chiefz outta noooooooooowheres, dawgz. This is exciting.

wet pants :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Frank2009:
THANKS ALOT, cant wait for the OTA :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cidica:
Very nice Thank you! Just flashed it and so far so good :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Jdunig:
Thank you CR.... I can verify this did double my speeds, I was getting .80mbps, I now am getting 1.89 as the top DL speed! Very nice.

I think that HTC should just release Gingerbread and leave froyo in the dust, the coding is there and the stability as way better.... why wouldn't they?

I will have to wait till Sunday so I can test the radio at my call center (since they put a 4g tower in the back room) I usually get 3.5mbps at tmobile.... so we shall see! In fact I get the best DL speeds at work then all 3g and same as the 4g phones as it is.

I compared to my supervisors mytouch 4g and it was same speeds with the last radio! I'm ready to blow everyone out of da water!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] moeava:
Just flashed using clockwork over cm7 build 8 with no problems. Prior to flashing I would average around 4000 kbps now I got 5771 kbps down. very happy. it's sad though that I get faster downloads on my phone than I do at my office, can barely get 1000kbps there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I can also confirm a speed increase. I went from a max of 1.2M to a max of 3.9M. Thank you :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ilostchild:
im getting a infosignature fail.. when im trying to fastboot flash..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
It's a recovery update package, not fastboot flashable. Flash via clockworkmod 2.

Also, had major issues with this. I honestly didn't think flashing a radio would need a nandroid, since nandroids don't even involve radios anyway, but somehow, when I rebooted /data was broken. I went to storage, and it showed 169/340 something free MB, meaning all my data is still THERE, but the filesystem tables got erased or something. Which kind of sucks. I thought it might be a custom MTD thing, so I flashed the boot patcher thing, and then got into a splash1 boot loop. Having to reflash the latest nightly and go from scratch. Well not entirely. Thank god for titanium backup, too bad I'll lose all my angry birds levels that I beat today :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ilostchild:
yes.. i know its a zip but you can take the zip and unzip it and get the image and fastboot flash it.. in most case its the safiest way to flash imgs to the phone... but since im gettin errors i did it via recovery and phone is booting now.. so ill see how things work out now...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yeah sometimes fastboot gets weird with stuff like that. It generally works for recovery images, but that's all I've had it work for.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] twiztidnutzzzzz:
Flashed this this morning and saw improvement...

Ran the speedtest.net test and got 5300 dl and 1500 UL results... thats 4 bars and on (4G) will run it throughout the day and see if it maintains..

Thanx CR for posting it.. Can't wait til the ota gets rooted..

N Thnx to Krylon360 hooking CR up!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Just to let everyone know, I've been working with CR in hopes to move this along, but I'm not entirely sure this can be done. The main reason I'm concerned is because the OTA CR has contains patch files - now normally that wouldn't be a problem, but the 'diff' was run off of a version that hasn't even been released to the public yet! So, basically, we MIGHT be stuck waiting for Froyo yet again. (Basically, to explain this a bit more, a patch file contains the differences between one version of the file (original) and another (newer), but the (original) version hasn't even been released to the public that we're aware of.)

We are continuing to work on it around-the-clock, so please be patient.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Flashed the radio via FastBoot. Worked like a charm. Everything is running smoothly (I am always on the latest CM7 Nightly). I just didn't notice any speed changes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
Which phone did you experience 4G? The slide?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Got 2.36 mbps down and 0.46 mbps up and this is on 4 bars of H on CyanogenMod 7. How did you get over 5 mbps down?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] koolkidjay1321:
no ota....sad sad day
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
Oh yee.of little faith I'm happy we have just the radio update hehe but that's just me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] twiztidnutzzzzz:
Got over 5 for download at 530am when. Most of Atlanta is asleep ...

And as for 4g if u close ur eyes and turn around the H turns to 4g.. but seriously. At 530am it was easier to say 4g then hpsa .. sorry for the confusion
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zerolgk5:
So, I flashed this yesterday, and now I can't get into clockwork recovery... Any ideas? Running cm7 build #8, flashed via rom manager.

E: cannot open /cache/recovery/command
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
That's hspened to me before delete the update.zip wich is on ur SD then put it on there again mine got corrupted somehow once too
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] krylon360:
Hey guys. Ill look for the version that CR needs to get the OtA working. If I find it, ill be sure to send it to him
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
Awesome thnx looking forward to it ;-)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] inkuyo:
great, flashed

I just rooted yesterday to 6.1 and just installed the radio up date.

I was getting between 1-2 Mbps and with the new radio I am generally getting the same, however, I did just get to almost 3 Mbps, the fastest yet.

Thanks!

Can't flash over cm7.. something about data overrun and firmwire over run..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] purple1:
I flashed over CM7 just fine ....did you flash via CW
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zerolgk5:
Yeah, that seemed to do the trick:

replaced the recovery update.zip on the sd

reboot to basic recovery- apply update

---loads into cm recovery---

reflashed recovery, and success!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
OK... so we made some progress today again with help from Krylon360... nbetcher and I were workin on it till bout 4am when I had to get some rest.. ( I still have pneumonia)... But today new stuff was discovered.... We were on a retail build of eclair 1.35.531.1 if we were updated all the way current, same build with patches as my OTA ROM... The OTA I was provided with was a 1.35.531.3 to 2.10 update but needed test-keys in the verification check.... So we were trying to manually patch each individual file ( like 200 or some ish) and had a few issues there. NOW, we have the incremental update to .3 as well as the froyo update with release keys.... Im flashing it now and will see if root can be accomplished on the build, if so will dump the images bypassing having to manually patch each one and then create a custom ROM from my own dump.... Just wanted to stop in and let you guys know that I am working on it, I have help, and I WILL get a ROM out if its at all possible... Dont want you guys to think its vaporware and Im just holding on to something and holding everyone back.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] midnclb:
i live in atlanta as well and with the oldest radio i was getting 6mps and with this one the highest i have get is 11mbp on H
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Yeah. i didnt install the 3.0 either.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] purple1:
Try flashing via fastboot
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Had to update my CM7 for the slide i kinda forgot to pay attention to em since i got my vision. it flashed fine now im on build 9 with miguel's kernel and the new radio its working great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] purple1:
Koo so am I! But I see no difference in the battery like everyone else is :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
I noticed signal drops in an out when driving. That didn't happen before I flashed it. idk if it's because it's more accurate or not just like to point that out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] meirg:
Good news!! It didn't make my phone explode! Installed via CW2(ps3jb) on CM7-build8. I didn't do any fancy benchmarks to see if it's better but I do seem to have a better signal in my apt which is very good. Also, it didn't break the GPS on CM7 as I feared it might :D

Thanks Chiefz, good to see you back. Hope you get well soon!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
So everyone says something different.

How do we dlash this?

Download and use ROM Manager, go to Recovery and choose zip on SD, need S-off ??

??

?

lol can't we just do it like the other two radios?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yes, except it won't work on clockwork 3. You have to use clockwork2, and this wasn't an issue before since cw3 hadn't been released yet. That's the only differece

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RollerCoasting:
No major speed boost here... It actually got slower :o

Only getting 500Kb/s... vs. about 1000 normally.

Perhaps the radio didn't flash correctly. How do I check the radio version?

In settings/About Phone/Base Band Version
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RollerCoasting:
^Yup, seemed to work, guess I'm just going to have to try it in a few more places.

One question, once you get the ROM all working, is there anyway we could extract the mobile hotspot app for infrastructure tethering?

link pl0x?

but seriously, Can you post the link?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I think the alpharev distro installs it automatically if you tell it to install clockwork. I could be wrong though I'm a bit frazzled at the moment.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Released OTA via twitter... read thru my timeline, have fun with that.... Tired of the *****in bout me not being fair, keeping it from the "community" etc... All of you that complained, you know who you are, get together and make this happen for everyone... I gave you what you asked for... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Whoa ... I didn't notice any complaining here in the forum about the OTA not being released to the community ... everybody seemed pretty patient for a change. What just happened?

New radio is working fine. No speed change.

Thanks for providing the radio update chiefz, I truly appreciate your efforts.

reflashed same file and it worked. 3rd time is the charm i suppose. hope that helps someone that runs into the problem i have
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zygut:
how to flash in clockwork?

I can't figure out how to apply it. I tried to do it via fastboot by booting my phone into fastboot (volume down+power) and then typing 'fastboot flash radio radio.img' in my terminal, but I get:

$ fastboot flash radio radio.img

< waiting for device >

sending 'radio' (23808 KB)... OKAY

writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

I read that maybe another way to do it is by booting into clockwork mod and doing it, but I dont see how that is done, perhaps 1.8.1.7 of clockwork is too old?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
That's very strange...

Wait, have you run the AlphaRev S-OFF modification? You shouldn't be getting sig verification errors if you have.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zygut:
Turns out my Clockwork Mod was really old, so once I updated that I could do the update from within Clockwork and it worked fine.

Regarding AlphaRev S-OFF... I have no idea what that is. I only just rooted and installed CM6.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
You can read up on it -- there's a stickied XDA thread dedicated to it. S-OFF allows you access to an unlocked bootloader, which is what allows you to recklessly flash any of the various partitions on your device. Fastboot will not "properly" function without it, so clockworkmod recovery is the only way to go for you.

You can use the ROM Manager application to keep that up to date.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zygut:
Turns out my clockwork mod was a really old version. Once I updated that I could then apply the radio update from within there with no issues.

Regarding AlphraRev S-OFF, I dont know what that is, where can I find out?

I notice better wifi connectivity at work (2 bars versus 1), but slightly worse at (0 instead of 2 to 3) home. I sit about 12 feet from the wifi router at work. AFAIK, it's full power.

While at home it's in the basement and probably 10 feet away. I used to be able to connect ok in the kitchen (about another 15 feet away), but not anymore. I do have the router power on wifi set to medium as opposed to full power.

just reverted back to using Espresso from G2 because of size.

CM7_RC2 and mysterious "H" does seem to imply the quasi-4G data.

just ran speed-test (Ookla) and did 3.1Mbps down/325kbps up. This is the Espresso (MTslide).

I don't see how this is possible... per tech specs

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JTownBrewer:
Sorry, but this is completely wrong.

There is no mystery. The MT3G Slide is a HSPA capable phone (note the lack of a plus). It is theoretically capable of achieving a speed of 7.1 Mbs, though I've never seen mine go above 5 Mbs, and even that was only once.

The stock roms simply don't differentiate between 3G and HSPA networks, so all you ever see on them is the 3G symbol and never the H. The CM roms make that difference clear and so you'll see the H when the phone is connected to the HSPA network.

If you already have a cm based radio just boot into recover dont go thru the process of vol dwn+power that will flash the old rom/radio.

just boot to recovery then use the update to update the radio/
