Radio flash question

---

I upgraded my radio to p3droid. Today I flashed a new rom. So I was wondering if my radio gets downgraded back to original after flashing a new rom.

Don't honestly know the answer to whether the radio is flashed when flashing a new rom. I would expect since most radio updates appear to be separate update.zips that the rom doesn't upgrade radio. You can check under Settings>About Phone>Baseband Version. The latest I believe is C_01.3E.03P.

The radio does not get touched during a rom flash.

Thanks I noticed after checking original radio in Droid setting info and the version I have now. I forgot what the original version was but got it now. Thanks

I do believe the latest radio does require you to have Froyo... the earlier ones should work on any ROM. And the radio can be updated when you flash an update.zip ROM. It just depends on how the Dec has it set up.

The latest is C_01.43.01P - released with FRF84B
The one before that was C_01.41.00R - released with FRF57
And before that was C_01.3E.03P - the one released with 2.1 Eclair (ESE81)

Thanks. The only thing with new radio is it drops down to 1G alot. It sucks because it always seems to do it when I'm doing something important or downloading. Other wise it works much better than the original one I had.

I am currently on stock 2.1. The baseband since the update gives me a lot of issues at home 3g and switching to 1x. The new froyo rom should give me an updated baseband when it comes right? Otherwise I will have to get the previous basebands installed and root my phone?

No, I had similar question but when flashing roms it doesn't touch the baseband. I also have that issue mine drops to 1x alot also and is frustrating. But the older ones when I do searches on the internet it take almost 30 seconds for data transfer to start. The latest is quicker at that but the 1x drop is frustrating. To clearify again though the only way the baseband is updated or downgraded is by flashing it through an update zip or ota update. Roms don't affect it.

I should also add after flashing a rom, try reprogramming the phone by *228. It seems to help when I have issues after new rom. Also I installed a data disable widget. When it drops to 1x I disable the data connection for a minute or couple seconds and reactivate it usually returns to 3g when it comes back on.

Sprint radios?

---

How about using a Sprint radio on a Droid. IDK. I just got my Droid in the mail yesterday,got it rooted today and am working on checking out radio upgrades for it. I am coming from an CDMA HTC Hero200 from Sprint and with that phone we could put Verizon radio's and PRL's on them to up the coverage area and get better reception. My last one was a Sprint radio with a Verizon PRL and I had the best reception ever! Just some food for thought. If anybody has any valuable info on this I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
