Radio BL vs. Radio Version

[anubus12]

I've been reading alot around here about upgrading roms. But I am still confused between these two things. Mine has the radio version of 1.16. But I have no idea what radio BL version it is.

I am afraid to upgrade without understanding this. Because from what I've read, I do not want radio BL of 1.08.

Could someone please explain this?

Hi

You'll find this info in the wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

HTC Boot is the radio bootloader so you have 0107. Radios with 0108 are the ones to watch out for since flashing this means that you will no longer be able to flash radio (or other) updates on their own afterwards. HTC Boot is flashed when you flash a new radio rom. Additionally, to have any radio rom flashed successfully once you have HTCBoot 0108, your SPL (system bootloader) needs to be 1.09 otherwise the radio does not get flashed.

The latest HTCBoot0107 radio is 1.27

Isn't it possible though to do NBH/ROMupgradeUT radio only updates using SSPL with Radio BL 0107 or 0108?

Edit: I made Radio Only NBH/ROMupgradeUT 1.33.31.00 RBL 108. Using SSPL on device works fine to upgrade my radio. NBH Radio Upgrade Only 1.33.31.00 Run SSPL FIRST (http://uploadingit.com/files/8194/NBH%20Radio%20Only%201.33.31%20Upgrade.zip)

I had radio bl 0108 before trying this so it works this way. There is no way to downgrade radio bl, but it really doesn't matter sine this method works to upgrade or downgrade radio rom.
