[Q] Where to find N1 OFFICIAL Radios?

[Androidity3000]

[DISCLAIMER]
I HAVE searched already, and the only result I get is a .12 radio that is NOT signed properly. I don't want this version.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could point me into the direction as to where to get an OFFICIAL signed radio, particularly the .12 Korean version. All links I can find to are not properly signed. I was planning to set up BLACKROSE and it requires the .12 radio to be flashed without disabling signature verification. Thanks much.

I was planning to set up BLACKROSE and it requires the .12 radio to be flashed without disabling signature verification.

Blackrose does not require the 5.12 radio. The only requirements (found in the first post of the development thread) are:

Windows PC or Linux PC
USB Debugging(ADB) ON
Connect USB before install
HBOOT 0.35.0017

The 5.08 radio (which most N1s are running) tends to be the best radio for people outside of Korea. In fact, it is the one that google released with the Gingerbread OTA update, and I am sure they did a lot of internal testing to determine which radio is the best.

Signed for "fastboot flash" on locked bootloader? Or signed ZIP to flash through recovery?

If you mean bootloader: 5.12 was only released for Korean version, which is different from Google main line (SW-wise only, since it's the same phone). Thus, if it's not accepted by your current bootloader - you won't get it Google-signed anywhere, and you won't be able to flash it through fastboot with locked bootloader, if that's what you're looking for. Last version in Google updates is 5.08.

On the other hand, if you mean signed ZIP for flashing in custom recovery - then it's funny, because ANYONE can sign those ZIPs. Anyone. I can sign it for you with a testkey (that's all that recovery needs). Would that make it more "official"?

In any case, as mentioned before, you don't need it. You need 5.08 and above.

Thanks for the link. I will just use the 5.08 version then. I thought I read that .12 was needed; however, I guess I am mistaken. Glad to know. And yes, I was planning to flash through recovery. Again, thanks much!

In that case, you can flash 5.12 as well. Being signed doesn't make the update.zip official, since all the files for flashing in custom recovery are signed by people, just like myself. 5.12 radio is just as legitimate as 5.08, and both update.zip weren't signed by Google anyway. You do need to verify the md5sum before flashing, though.
