Radio Update 7.13.35.05 (from Vodafone FR/UK)

[vasilii_htc]

i get firmware.zip from OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_UK_3.14.161.1-2.05.161.1_R_release_135177_156984u2k321537x1cpy3d

put it on sdcard, and rename into legeimg.zip

my old data
RADIO 7.08.35.21
HBOOT 0.43.0003
[ro.cid]: [VODAP102]

new
RADIO 7.13.35.05
HBOOT 1.00.0000

in HBOOT menu was 5 puncts
[1] BOOT
[2] BOOTLOADER
[3] RADIO_V2
[4] RADIO_CUST
[5] RECOVERY

when phone updated -> rebot & bootloop

could it be because of the new RADIO or HBOOT

7.13 radio not working on german o2 network. pin is accepted - so radio and ril seam to work - but no signal at all. going back to 7.08

edit: fixed by power device off, and then back on... before, only used reboots.

Maybe unrelated, but after flashing this I can no longer boot into recovery (black screen red ! symbol), and I can't flash a new recovery either. Using clockworkmod and modaco custom froyo rom.

how did you enter in recovery mode before flashing this radio?

With rom manager, rebooting into recovery mode. From there, I flashed the new radio.

That always was the method to enter in recovery since I have my Legend... well actually before the "update.zip" made my Paul I was doing it with ADB

Unfortunately after upgrade to froyo and radio 7.13.35.05 I experimented bad signal too.
Then I tryed to use radio 7.08 and nothing has changed.

(Now I am using gingerbread but there are no signal improvement)

 

[Sandertenty]

Probably a noob question, but an update script? Please help!

 

[sda2]

Im having a problem with updating radio to this version, because updatescript is too old for CWM 3.

Now trying to manually update...

Edit: Flashed it successfully with "fastboot flash radio radio.img" Just extract radio.img from ZIP-file and but it in your fastboot directory.

Another link ? I get corrupted files with this link :/

EDIT: hm I'm build my own update.zip is of, http://www.multiupload.com/2EQT7G62NF

Thanks for the ZIP link !

I think this radio has eliminated the dropouts I was getting on music streaming while walking around my house with phone in a pants pocket. Even the basement seems to be good.

Strange thing though, is that the reported signal levels, in my work area at least, seem to be unchanged.

I have a Canadian Virgin(/Bell) model and the original stock radio seemed to be 7.08.35.05. I'm on Bell's network via an MVNO using HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900.

In my work area I seem to get around -97 to -103, old radio or new. When I first boot and check my levels, they seem to jump up to -85 or so. Weird. Maybe it's a closer tower on Rogers network it sees first before switching.


Anyone know if the aluminum case is known to contribute to cell radio and WiFi problems ? I'm wondering if some antenna hardware mod might help.


EDIT: phone seems to be getting much hotter in my pocket while streaming than it did last night.

And now I'm noticing signal strength is much better, like around -80 to -83 dBm when on a table and I'm NOT holding the phone like a PDA or a phone to my ear. Can be on my pant leg for about -90 to -95, but I can't have it in my hand without losing some 10-20 dBm.
