Root how to flash the radio update?

i downloaded the newest radio update and i booted into clockworkmod and installed but when i went into about phone the radio version stayed the same.. please help

You don't install a radio in clockworkmod. You have to name it PB31IMG.ZIP, put it in root of sdcard, boot into HBOOT and it should install automatically and then allow you to reboot.

Take this advice, but make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip and NOT PB31IMG.zip.zip.....if you're Windows OS settings are set to hide known file extensions you won't see the .zip file extension.

Why did Verizon update the Radio? correct me if I am wrong, but to me the Radio is one of those things that if it is not broke don't fix it... I know the same thing with some iPhone guys that jailbreak all the time. They update software but never update the Radio. I can update this Radio but is there any real reason to? Is anybody really noticing a difference. I think it could actually have the opposite effect on some, actually make things worse??
