Radio question

---

Flashed Flipz radio for Fresh 2.0 and had a few question that I have asked numerous times in numerous threads and they were not adressed...

1. Will my phone brick if I restore a backup to a 1.5 ROM with the updated radio?
2. Does the radio for Fresh 2.0 work for all 2.1 ROMS?

Thanks a lot guys. I just want to be 100% rather than having skipping stone.

This radio will work on all roms.... 1.5-2.1 and will not brick if you nandroid back to a 1.5 rom. However, there have been numerous reports of bricking when trying to go back to the previous stock radio. Just keep this in mind.

It only bricks if you use the 1.5.6 RUU to go back.

Besides the 1.5.6 RUU, there is no other way to go back correct?

There is a stock radio.zip posted on the forum (instead of using RUU) but it is also iffy. It still has a 50/50 chance of a bricking.

has anyone figured out why this radio update has gotten such conflicting reviews??? i use the new radio on damage v1 and its helped tremendously getting 3g in places i never could before...so glad i dont have to worry about ruu'ing

I had a good signal before (cant really tell a difference), but my battery life is greatly improved.

i was also good on the previous radio but just figured it was something they add in the official update so i did it anyway and i used to NEVER get 3g at my desk at work and it would kill my battery going in and out of service for 8 hours straight let alone me playin with my phone but since the new radio its sits at 3g the whole day and i have way more battery when im off work..

I have had nothing but problems with the new radio. I pushed a new PRL to it and still couldn't get a decent signal. I used to get 3 out of 5 bars -70db on the old radio, and now I cant get more than -90db. My Pre still gets almost perfect signal in my house and my Hero is now unusable. I applaud everyone's efforts in making the most of our Heros, but I sure hope a new radio comes out soon!
