Root [Link] Radios for S-off

After installing the Radio, my phone no longer shows as "unlocked"
Is that anything to worry about?
no if your flashing a custom radio you know your still s-off ;).
I am go from the latest to .530. Is downloading the wimax neccessary if I already had the latest?
no but it doesn't hurt to :).

I'm not sure what's going on, but I clicked on each radio's link in the first post and none of them will download! They all open a new tab that expires and says "Google Chrome couldn't find cmw.22aaf3.com" I also tried firefox and it wouldn't download any of the radios either. I really want to try out 0808, please help me find out why it can't download. And I am on a computer.

I also went to the xda link in the first post and tried to download from there but I got the same error message.

For now these links still work and will likely continue working but it's possible the links could change at some point. I won't be updating this post anymore because I started a thread for this along with some other downloads. I will be keeping the thread updated. See link below.

I hate to throw a disclaimer on here but I have to say, flash at your own risk. I have not tested these.

These contain only files from the ruu. These files are:

Radio.img

Android-info.txt


That's it. The Android-info.txt file has been modified to support both sprint evo 3d and virgin mobile evo v. These should work without a hitch but I can't be responsible if anything goes wrong.

Now, who will be my brave guinea pig? :p

I am the guinea pig brave enough to test this :). It boots and I just did a speedtest. It improved the speed but for some strange reason it's hosted in Wisconsin Rapids, WI by Solarus. What in the world!!??!?!?!?! I live all the way in Jacksonville Florida. What kind of voodoo is this? :p Good voodoo I guess. :D. I'll post a speedtest in a few minutes from my phone. I live in a dead area and normally get around 200kbps but now it's more about 400+kpbs in my house. We'll see the EVDO power when I go to an area that actually gets decent signal. :)

Awesome! Thanks a lot for testing and for posting results! Glad I didn't brick your phone :p
Glad it's giving you some improvement!

Can anyone say if these radios gave them better signal/speeds compared to the 0808 or 530 radio? I still can't download 0808 or 530 (or any of the other ones for that matter) because the link appears broken. Could anyone please post a link to these two radios?? Thanks!

When I have time I will remake the rest of them. It just takes awhile because I have to download all the ruu's to pull files from. I already had the two that I posted so I put them together real quick.
