Cool [Q] What radio should I be using on T-Mobile USA with Gingerbread?

For the record, I did search through the various radio threads, but I couldn't find me solution.

I'm sorry, but I've been away from the G2 scene for a while, but what's the latest/best radio for a T-Mobile USA G2, running CM7 in the NorthEast - New York, Boston area? Thanks in advance, fellas!

If everything is working don't flash a radio. Only flash radio if you have issues related to radio. If it ain't broke don't fix it

I'd tend to agree. You'll always find people claiming every single radio is working great for them. If your service is good and you're not having lots of issues I wouldn't mess with it.

Thanks guys. I tried a few radios, and they all seemed to work alright. The reason I was asking is because I wanted to know if there was a known problem with a specific radio I may have overlooked, however, after search, I didn't find anything, so I thought I'd ask you guys. Thanks!

Not true. Use the radio that CAME with the rom. Tmobile releases a rom and radio together for a reason. So if your talking about the ginger leak, the .30 radio is the one that was released with that. Of course you don't HAVE to change it, but why wouldn't tmobile just not update the radio from froyo if there was no reason or nothing to be gained? The rom was built to work SPECIFICALLY with that radio. If we were talking about a custom rom, then ya I agree with everything said above. Since were talking about a stock rom, its a little different.

Radios are flashed through the bootloader. The chance of bricking or messing anything up when flashing through a bootloader is .0000000001% if not lower. So if you got an extra five min in your life go flash that .30

Thank you for all your input. I resolved this issue by testing out various radios to see which performs best for me. I found one which got me from ~2 MBPS consistent to ~3-5 MBPS consistently in the same location

May I ask which Radio version did the magic to bump up your performance?

Phone: HTC One X
ROM: Viper One X V3.5.2
Bootloader: HBOOT-1.36.0000 S-ON unlocked
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.3.0
Radio: RADIO-5.1204.163U.30
Android: 4.1.1 with HTC Sense: 4+

(2nd phone HTC One S with ViperOneS V2.2.0, HBOOT 1.06.0000, S-ON unlocked, TWRP 2.3.3.0 & Radio EU-1.11)

Sony CMDX-1000 > Nokia 7110 > Sharp GX-30 > Treo 680 & Nokia N95 > iPhone 3G > iPhone 4 > Desire Z > One X

I consider it a nice gesture to click the Thanks-Button, if someone helped with his answer.
