SPLs & Radios

---

hi,

so ive been looking around the forums for what seems like AGES and i just cant seem to find the answers im looking for.

ive just found the thread on SPLs but im completely clueless about radios. what is a radio and why would i need a new one?

im on cm 3.6.2 is this firmware a radio? or is a radio to do with the hardware? what benefits are there to replacing it? how do i replace it?

can i flash this # 2.22.19.26I
# Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I ? if so how?

very much a noob with all this and any info would be very much appreciated

# Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Is that your baseband version from your phone? If it is, then u have the latest Radio image and SPL. To make sure, boot up in fastboot (Turn off, turn on while holding back button)

That will tell u your spl, radio and if you have a PVT device

no my baseband is:

63.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

how do i go about updating it? is it simply a case of renaming to update.zip then reboot into flash menu? is it safe to do it without wiping the phone?

last one i swear. what is the radio for, why is it an advantage to change it?

nvm im just reading your noobs guide :P

edit: all done. latest radio and spl thanks to your guide. cheers.

Hi, Need to check with you regarding my radio before installing Haykuro's latest SPL 1.33.2005. currently, my radio version is:

• 2.22.19.26I
• Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17U2.22.19.26I

But the radio in his site, has different baseband version, Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H2.22.19.26I. I notice his was H but mine U. So is this the same radio or should i flash his radio? Appreciate your advice.

I would err on the safe side and make sure to flash the H version. Might be superfluous, but at least I'll be able to flash without wondering...

A radio can refer to two things: either it is the processor/amplifier/antenna system which comprises the actual air interface side of a phone (the stuff that makes a phone a GSM phone or a UMTS phone or a CDMA2000 phone, etc). Otherwise a radio could refer to the software package that runs on the aforementioned processor. The word "baseband" is also used in a similar fashion (e.g. "baseband processor" or "baseband software")
