Newbie Question about Upgrading Radio... XV6900

[zerodayATK]

I currently have a xv6900 and I have the "newest" verizon radio. I put newest in quotes because I have Radio 3.37.78 . I've seen other radios that are higher but they are on different Carriers. Can/should I upgrade and would it have any adverse effects?

Can you? Yes. Should you? not necessarily... just because the number is higher, doesn't mean it is newer. I would stick to what you've got for a radio unless a newer radio comes out that actually fixes or changes something.

If you're thinking about flashing custom roms, then upgrade. If not, then stay with what you got.

so i have htc xv6900 from verizon. i have it flashed for cricket and the internet was fine but i love messing with phones lol so i ended up flashing my rom to the wm 6.5(sprint htc touch pro) and had to get a program to get the unlock code to get into my ##778# and the info is right but my data connection is not going through #777 which it was at first so is there a program or app that i can run to connect or sprints code or jus something to get internet back to my phone thank you sorry if i post it in the wrong place

I have a Verizon XV6900 also, same radio as yours and i am using custom roms just fine, didn't need to upgrade radio, but also i am not screwing with GPS setting either.
