As far as I know, this radio works everywhere, it fixed my gps locking :) which I missed from cm6.1.1

Only thing is, my stock browser won't work with edge network, although firefox does work, but when on wifi, all browsers work nicely.

Any ideas why might that be happening?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Well I have downloaded, placed on SD root, backed up, then went to bootloader, there isn't any option for me to flash this radio there. Is it under a menu elsewhere?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Sounds like you are trying to do the zip method correct? Did you rename the zip file to PC10IMG?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Yes, I am trying the zip meathod. And I just changed the name to what you said. Still not showing up

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Okay, after moving from the fastboot menu to the bootloader menu. It says something about parsing that file for a few seconds, then disappears.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Hmm maybe you should redownload the file and try again. Here is the thread that talks about it step by step on how to install the zip just to make sure that you are correctly following all the steps.

Please tell me why should I replace ril related lib files?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkjuan:
I updated the radio and the new gps.vision.so file.

Right now I have no GPS whatsoever. I get a message stating "NO GPS location provider was found on this device"

What happened??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
libs

Hi here.

There's something I'm still not getting: the libs. When you flash a radio, i could often read that libs may have to be replaced too. Here are my questions:

1- how do we know which libs must match which radio?

2- where to find the matching libs for each radio?

Thank you guys :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Do not push the gps.vision.so

Just flash CM7 after a full wipe and test your GPS.

clearing the dalvik cache

I tried doing this from the recovery but get this message

E: Unknow Volume for path [/sd-ext]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
That's a common error...not a problem. I get it too. It's because we haven't partitioned our sd cards.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:
Well, I wasnt sure and I wasnt about to make a thread about it hahah well, then any idea how to do it then? I dont have much info on the card anyway
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Its optional, so if you don't need it right now don't worry about it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
In the old days of low phone memory and no storing apps on the sdcard we used to create an ext partition on the sdcard and symlink it to the phone. This way the /data partion would actually run from the sdcard but show up as if it was on the phone.

That error just indicates that you have no ext partition on your sdcard. Nothing to worry about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
Yea I am having the same problem. Tried new or different sd card. Still nothing. Good try and learn how to use adb and try that but this radio is still killing battery like crazy. It says error when I am in bootloader when loading
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Are you sure that is why we get that msg? Because I actualy have an ext4 partition and I still get that message.... I don't think its a prob and I think Dalvik is till being wiped but I am curious.. also I know that CWM 2.x.x.x didn't give that msg..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Pretty sure without looking at the code... My guess would be that you didn't symlink the Dalvic cache to your ext partition and only storing apps?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dalamak:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I tried using darktremmer to symlink dalvik to sdext to see if the error message went away but it is still there... but fwiw I don't think it is a problem..thanks for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
Yesterday I tried flashing this radio on my buddy's g2, it was rooted through gfree method, and did exactly the same steps... DL file and rename it, store it in sdcard, reboot in bootloader, and does not find the radio file, any ideas why it wouldn't recognize it?

I even DL'd the file many times from mediafire in case it was corrupt or anything. Thanks for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jojo_16:
Maybe u downloaded a zip file and the file for bootloader is inside?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
What do you mean? The PC10IMG doesn't need to be extracted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] toddsk:
good job

this fixed my inop gps and has improved hspa functions on my g2. now the gps icon comes on and locked to 10ft in 5 seconds approx

thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
This is the first time I flashed a radio... scary!

I hope this is giving me faster data speeds
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
With mobile data on, HSDPA I get this:

Download: 0.35Mpbs Upload: 0,11Mbps

This is really slow!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
This is still the most awsome radio for reception and battery performance on t-mobile nl for me so good luck. Don't know if you already know but here you can find all currently available radios.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Try matching lib files with this. Make a backup though, not all libs work in non sense roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
Do you also have the "mobile data usage" as the number one battery drainer?

When i wasn't rooted and on stock sense I always had "screen" drain on number one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gootah:
Wwwhhhaaaa???

STUPID jump in download speed and slight loss in upload, but I don't upload much so...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] automattic:
I was a little worried but flashed my g2 anyway. Used to have a lot of issues with the cellular data and would be stuck on searching fequently. Now it connects immediately. Data speeds are faster. Response is much better with surfing as well. Signal is a bit stronger. Batter life seems about the same maybe slightly worse. Running on cyanogenmod 7 rc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
just gave this a whirl with GV1.5

speed test results:

(first test ran at 9:30 AM PST, this test 10:40 AM PST)

test 1) ~5mb down, ~4.2mb up

test 2 [this radio]) ~6.5 down, 2.3 up

obviously there are other variables to take into account here and it's hard to tell if the radio itself is responsible for changes... but just thought you guys might like to know.

additionally, it fixed my static 3G icon display. before installing this radio, my data symbol was perpetually 3G, regardless of what tower I was talking to.

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Have you seen the thread? It's a discussion about all radios, which is what Kholk's (OP) intentions were. All this does is cause fragmentation. Now, instead of people going to one place to download and compare radios they will have to look for multiple threads...

But to each his own...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
@jzhyok Thanks for the radio post, flashed it to my G2 and noticed an improvment to my wifi signal, will test it out in the feild for while and see how it goes.

@Vlad83, why not just have Kholk add this to his list of radio's for the Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] card0124:
I just tried flashing this radio and keep getting

c:\SDK\Platform-tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img

sending 'radio' (24832 KB)... OKAY

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

I have root and s-off. my hboot version is HBOOT-0.82.0000

I thought i may have the wrong hboot but tried to flash another and got the same exact error you see up top. I've been searching everywhere for about 2 hours with no luck, can someone help.

Hey, I noticed that you're in Huntington Beach - so am I! Has this radio helped you get a stronger 3G signal in some of the dead parts of town like near the Harbor?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
will wait till more people try this out... as radios are quite complicated..... btw you guys used Clockwork recovery 3.x right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
Could anyone create an update zip?

I've just moved house and don't have access to a pc.

I'm willing to take the riskier route as reception at new place is poor.

Thanks guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Just flashed it this morning so I really have not gone down that way yet but where I have gone Ive been getting a pretty good H signal. Im over by Slater and Newland.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Here you go an update zip for the new radio:

For those who dont know what this is, its the new radio zipped into an update file, to use it just place it on the root of your sd card, then boot into bootloader, select yes and it will flash the radio for you.

IMPORTANT: You must rename the file from Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27-PC10IMG to PC10IMG in order to use it.

This must be flashed thru bootloader and not CWM recovery.

Download thru Mediafire:

http://www.mediafire.com/?caykcy6pw1ei0a1

Zip includes:

android-info .txt file and radio 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27_M .img file

WiFi calling stopped working for me on initial boot. I fixed permissions and reset and that fixed it..maybe just needed a reboot but w/e

Other than that speeds are slightly faster for me (I did 3 test each time before and after) reception is exactly the same measured with one of the signal widgets

fixed my issue had to reflash the eng-hboot a second tiime becuase for some reason it did not take the first time i had done when rooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Download speeds are the same if not a little higher (roughly between 2.5 to 4.5 mbps) but my upload trippled to 1.5 mbps. It switches between 3G and H more fluidly and I seem to get stronger signal everywhere. Too soon to judge on battery life though but seems about the same or better. I definately recommend this to everyone. I was coming from the 26.04 radio.

To tell you the truth, I've flashed 3 different radios, and I haven't notice a difference in any of them. Still dead spots where there were always dead spots. Not sure about what all the fuss is about, but I will keep updating to the newest and baddest radio, because I'm stupid like that.

Hello, thanks i would like try this radio but i would like know if my z is was root and s-off after radio update.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhr5474:
I am not sure if you know this but, some people think they have s-off and don't really have it. I rooted my wifes and then figured out it was just the phone being tricked into s-off. I believe it's under super CSID. The original way to root it doesn't really take s-off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kokoskokis544:
Just to le u know about battery life, using this radio with cm7 latest nightly my bat is at 90% after 4 hours of usage (mp3 one hour, texting on whatsapp all the time, 3g and email sync facebook etc). This seems to be the best radio i flashed so far. Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:

Successfully used the zip file in bootloader on my T-Mobile G2 running Virtuous v1.0 - everything worked great, looks like I have both mobile data and WiFi, so no issues out of the gate. I'm hoping this improves my 3G signal at my desk at work - freakin cubicle is a black hole.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
OK no problem :) Maybe its a t-mo radio vs desire z radio thing which could account for the difference... but I'm not going to let it bother me because I'm getting better voice signal at work with this radio and I'm not experiencing any difference in battery life than before so that's all good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Yeah, this radio is working pretty well for me also. Suprised it wasn't included in latest WWE RUU.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Ok after using it for about 4 days now. I can definitely say it has improved reception.

In my class there are spots where i barely used to get any reception, mostly None to 1 or 2 bars max!

Now im getting at least 4, even after covering up the phone with my palms or trying the death grip.

you need root and real S-OFF by gfree to flash this radio

After that I reflashed this version and restored a copy of Virtuous 0.9.5 that I had been using before the weekend which seems to be working fine. I don't know why my data stopped working, maybe it was something to do with a rom/kernel combination I was using over the weekend. Very strange.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
This went HORRIBLY for me! After flashing at 100% battery, my battery is now at 80% after just 30 minutes! After checking battery usage stats, it says cell standby is taking up most of that, with 40% of the time spent without signal. I've never had this problem before on the 26.04.02.17 radio, so I'll be switching back to that. I'm in Orlando, Florida, USA right now, just for reference.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RiTZiE_CDN:
Which ROM are you using? I am on Bell and had to create a new APN entry to get the data working when I installed Virtuous. My Cyanogen7 install was fine without any changes to the APN.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
For what it's worth, flashing the radio did not result in a double vibrate on boot for me (still only have the initial power-on vibrate). Maybe it is dependent on some interaction with the ROM/kernel you have? Have you guys switched ROMs recently? I'm currently still running CM6.1.1. Not sure what you guys are running, but could it be a Sense or Gingerbread thing?

As far as performance goes, my cell signal has improved slightly, wifi seems to be about the same. Battery life has been pretty comparable over the past few days as well (was using 26.04.02.17 before).

i'm running the latest CM7 nightly, but this definately started with the flashing of this radio.

still a non inssue though..

Heyy I live in orlando too lol . And I have bars everywhere I go and have stable 3g speeds and the occasional 4g speeds which kinda is good bc I used to get 2g for like an hour then 3g for 10 mins then 4g speeds for 2 lol and as for battery life I'm gonna check it out and see if I get the same stuff

Good signal, yet buggy?

Hey guys, I've been running several builds of cm7 with this radio including rc1 and the more recent nightlies. Lately while running any kind of live wallpaper and my system is EXTREMELY choppy. Large amounts of lag, especially when listening to music. Wondering if anyone else has come across the same problem with this radio/rom combination. Also I'm on a tmo g2 and the signal is substantially better. Battery life is suffering too.

Going back to stock radio.

Seeing much more battery drain than usual and speedtest only 500kb up and 500kb down. Much slower than stock radio too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Totally opposite of my results. I've never seen my cell standby and phone idle as low as I've seen with this radio. While data speeds are relatively the same for me, the signal strength is much better with a solid 2 bar signal in some areas within the building at work where previously I had no signal at all. Its definitely a keeper for me.
