Has anyone with an ATT phone on Telstra 4G in Australia, tried these to see which radio works the best?

Portland, or 1.73 seems to work the best, 1.88 gets second place, then Rodgers, 1.82 was absolutely terrible

1.88 for a day so far, no radio drops but crippled H speeds. I'm hoping the network is just congested...

Ok so I flashed 1.85 and the install went well but when I go to the "More" screen to see my version it still shows, "1.88.707.2.CL64928 release-keys". Shouldn't that change?

I'm definitely noticing an increase in my speed. We don't have LTE here yet so I'm going to stay with 1.85 for a few days to see how it goes then move up to 1.88 to compare it.

That's your rom's base, not the radios. Baseband version is the radio.

I went and wrote down the baseband versions for myself to try to make heads of tails of it , to find out the 1.8.5 baseband shows a higher version number then the 1.8.8 baseband
the 1.8.8 starts with 0.16 while the 1.8.5 starts with 0.17

also somehow the radio i had flashed from the 1.8.5 ruu had a 0.17a while the one on this page has a 0.17 at the start...

just some things i noticed


for me the rogers and the 1.8.8 version worked out the best , while the others were mediocre

i live in middle Illinois where neither verizon nor sprint have any coverage... lol

Why do some USA people want to flash an Asia 1.88 radio?
Wouldn't those with a One X international version who are in America, for example, want to flash the AT&T radio? Does this even matter?

It doesnt matter what carrier you have. Can't stress this enough. (which is why it's in bold in the OP)

Updates for the phones were released at different times. The most recent happened to be in asia, but it's the most recent baseband (radio) version in general. This is firmware. Your APN settings control what network/carrier you're on.

Different Radios will perform better in different areas. Hence, I'm working on throwing together a shared google map where we can post our U/L D/L speeds, baseband version, and location this weekend. It will be glorious... =)

I was all up in a tizzy trying to get everything uploaded that i may have misplaced a radio.img somewhere. I'm going to be updating all the filenames this weekend with their baseband version as to alleviate the confusion.

I'll also be updating the script so that they all dont say "Flashing Rodgers Radio" (Rogers of course being mis-spelled).

    These are flashable zips that will change your baseband (radio firmware). Google it See twistedxx's post quoted below if you have no idea what this means. If you have an HTC One X (Tegra 3) you're in the wrong place.

    twistedddx said:
    Radio = firmware
    RIL(radio interface layer) = driver
    Android = operating system

    All 3 are "programs" that are running at different "levels", I have listed them from top to bottom in the order typically considered for how they interact. It is important to understand that a program is just code and how they interact is a philosophy programmers created and are now use to and not because it has to be set out that way.

    In the case of the RIL, the API rarely/never changes so it is rarely/never updated.
    The actual changes HTC make happen in the "Radio" program.

    This is opposite to how say Windows/Nvidia tackle things. The firmware rarely/never changes and they make their changes in the "driver".
    In Nvidia's case they do this because there is no standard way in x86BIOS/Windows for GPU firmware to be loaded from something as simple as the installed HDD, the firmware is actually written to chips on the card itself. It is just simpler to make all the code that gets changed inside the "driver" which is easily updated.

    For our phones "radio" its trivial for the changes in code to happen at the "driver" level or the "firmware" level, HTC/Google decided they would stick changes in the "firmware". They did this because they created a separate partition for the radio so that they can protect it separately to the OS. Android typically means the phones OS should be open for tweaking, so it must be assumed the driver could easily be replaced.
    Countries and Carriers have licensed spectrum to protect and transmitters must be licensed to use it, running custom radio code would break laws in many countries. This leads to the radio firmware being protected much more heavily than the OS itself.

    It is because HTC is lazy and because we have awesome devs that we can replace the radio firmware at all. As far as HTC, Country communication regulators and carriers are concerned the user should NEVER be altering the radio software.

    Radio:
    radio(fancy code stuff) <-> ril(boring translator) <-> Android OS
    Nvidia:
    firmware(advanced fixed code that allows for flexible access) <-> driver(fancy code stuff and translator) <-> Windows

    Note:
    Radio is about wireless communications
    Nvidia is about graphics processings. They are not similar technologies just some tech you may be familiar with.


    PS. API = application programming interface.. and lets just say if you do not understand what that is.. I cant be arsed trying to explain that, go Google it.

    If you're on the newer HBOOT (1.14) and insist on running a Sense based ROM use the Jet tool to downgrade to 1.09. This will allow you to write to the radio partition of the phone. Or just S-OFF (w00t!)

    If you're running a CM 10.x ROM it doesn't matter what HBOOT you're on as the radio firmware is stored elsewhere (in a writable partition... /system to be precise).

    Instructions:

    1) Copy zip file to SD Card
    2) Boot into Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
    3) Flash
    4) Reboot

    Always take a Nandroid Backup in case something goes screwy!

    Your bootloader will not show the correct baseband. I'm working on figuring out how the RUU updater handles the android_info.txt in the firmware.zip's

    I think maybe the op should add to the op that if you are running the official sense 5 4.2.2 builds, either telstra or tmobile germany, you SHOULD NOT be flashing the AT&T radios in the op, as they WILL cause data drops and reboots. Not quite sure about non-AT&T radios though...

    These are radios for flashing in Sense OR CM 10.x builds after 7/15 nightly!!!. They don't include the RIL files.

    CURRENTLY THE DROPBOX LINKS ARE DEAD, THEY'LL BE BACK SOON (Migrating everything over to dev host to avoid this situation in the future)

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm an idiot)

    Soooooooooooooo Got the new RIL working with something that I thought I'd tried over the weekend (but in fact, did not. Again, because I'm an idiot).

    The zip I'm working on is still a little bloated (there's definitely some libs in there that I just don't need) at the moment, but once I have a chance to remove all the crap that doesn't belong in there we'll have RIL for the 2.2x radios.
