[Q] How to get 2.15.50.14 Radio running on WP7?

[ThroughFire]

Hey all,

I've been running XBmod/Yuki's WP7 Rom for a few months now, and I love almost everything about it. One big problem though: the baked-in radio is terrible for my area. I'm on usually a couple bars of edge at most in places where I used to have full bars of 3G. I'm now in the middle of updating to Mango (finally), and while that was going on I figured I would look around and see if I could flash a different radio like I used to do with DFT's rom. So far, I'm just confused... I'm seeing that you can use a couple different radios but only software radios or something. I'm really not sure what exactly that means, but I'm assuming it would be bad to try to flash 2.15.50.14 like before.

Is there a different WP7 rom I can flash to use this radio? I'm really tired of having next to no service all the time...

This is probably service in your area cause mine works fine, and if you want try the 2.12 radio, people have luck with that.

Here's a great post about how the radios work:

I really suggest you to upgrade all the way to mango and checking to see what kind of reception you have before flashing any different types of radio.
