Ok I have been using the 2.05.00.06.11 radio? And my question is I am i using the right one? I am rooted and using Roms like SkyRaider, Virtuous v2.5, UD8.0 Etc ?? It just seems like I have worst reception since I updated? Please anybody can help that would be great! Thanks
 
Have you installed unrevoked forever? If not, you need to do that first. once you have it installed, you just put that file on the root of your SD and reboot into the bootloader. It will ask you if you want to update, say yes. That's it.

Make a nandroid before you do anything. I have these steps outlined on my site.


Ok I did this and still have 2.05 radio?? wat I am I doing wrong?

after 2 seconds or so it does this:

sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip
no image
loading...pb31img.nbh
no image or wrong image

so does anyone know what the problem is?

Try backing up anything you care about from your SD card to your computer, reformat the SD card FAT32 from your computer. Put ONLY the http://adrynalyne.us/files/radio/2.15.00.07.28/PB31IMG.zip file on the root of the SD card. Put it back in your phone, boot into the bootloader (volume down + power) See if it works now.

Is 2.15 much better than 2.05?

You won't necessarily notice any difference. For some it provided slightly better reception. I personally didn't notice anything different. That said, 2.05 was never an official radio. It was pulled before it got pushed out to anyone, so I'm of the belief that there were problems enough for them to do that, then include 2.15 with the froyo OTA.

No I am saying I have unrevoked allready installed! I am saying does my phone have to be in a certain mode when usb plugged in?? I am confused?

unrevoked3 & unrevoked forever are 2 different things. unrevoked3 gives you root. unrevoked forever gives you nand unlock (which is required to install unsigned files like the radio).

The only time you need to change the mode that your USB connection is set is when you are trying to read/write the card from your computer. It should be charge only the rest of the time. If it's disk mode, your phone wont be able to access the card.
