3.37.75 radio from VZW rom?

---

I know dcd a ripped a more recent radio from the Bell release... but I'm wondering... would this radio provide any benefit to Verizon users seeing as it came from a Verizon ROM? Would even work without the new PRI?



EDIT:

There is absolutely nothing in a radio ROM that ties it to a carrier or optimizes it for a carrier in any way over any other radio ROM.

I will post 3.37.75 here anyways.

ya... i realize there is nothing specific to the carrier but it would stand to reason that the carrier did their testing based on that specific release so it could possibly have the best results on their carrier?

I dunno.. I'm just wondering ... will try the radio you posted tho appreciate it!

I have noticed very little if any difference in signal strength between alltels stock radio and the newest i put on. Going to the new one however did enhance the ability of my gps with alltel stock radio i wasn't able to get anything in my office now i works pretty well.

So is this Radio ROM decoupled from the VZW ROM update so I can flash it and still keep the DCD 3.2.6 ROM that I already have?
I am on 3.42.50 but am willing to try this Radio ROM to see if there is any difference for VZW users but don't want to screw my phone up with VZW crap that turns off my GPS and Data and all that.

Yea, I am asking the same question: I know what dcd said earlier in this thread but I think it need reiterating: Is installing this radio going to screw up anything for those of us using dcd's ROM?

Also, I'm using 3.42.50; and this is 3.37.75... Isn't this a step backward (as far as version numbers go)? So what would be the difference?

P.S. The 3.42.50 radio rom, who/where was that originally pulled from?

i believe it was ripped from altel, but i read that radios are NOT carrier specfic

Just installing the 3.37.75 radio without the PRI won't screw anything up.

The 3.42.50 radio came from the Bell Vogue Rom.

Radios are not carrier specific.

Ok here is my question. Who controls the version numbers? Do all the radio ROMs come from HTC or do the carriers themselves edit them (not to be carrier specific, just in general..) then publish them?

I guess I just want to know if they all follow the same version tree so that 3.37.75 isn't actually newer than 3.42.40/50, but we can't tell since the # is lower.
