    So I was at my daughters today and her evo is not rooted. she just got the latest update wich udated the radios. With my evo and hers at the same location she had 4G and 3 bars of reception. I had 1 bar fading out to none and only 3G. I took both to a few different locations and same. When I had 1 bar on 4G she had a full signal and her downloads were twice as fast as mine so is there a way to update the radios on mine.
    The difference in signal and speed almost made me want to unroot....well allmost.

    those are the most current, up to date.... you could try a different rom... i never use (don't have in my area, of course... :() 4G but i do believe each rom handles 4G differently... IMHO....

    If baseband is the radios then the new ends in 8080 or something like that I checked her phone and it was a higher baseband than mine. Ill call her and get the exact version. Or am i wrong that the baseband is the radio version

    If there is a new radio, they should have it in a flashable zip before too long. I would also compare her PRL and PRI with your's. Those can be signal factors too.

    Can I update the prl and pri the same as before root or no?
    Since I rooted I havent done any updates for fear of messing something up. Also since the ota her voice search or voice to text works like a dream even with kids screaming in the background.

    You can update PRL and PRI while rooted. Just avoid the other updates. The recent release fixed the voice to text issue. It shouldn't be long before the devs get it cooked into the current roms.

    That most likely won't change anything.....I think PRL is Preferred Roaming List but not certain of that. If there is a new radio out, they will have a zip for it soon I am sure.

    Flashed. Worked fine. 3g 4g sms voice all worked after.

    Wiped cache dalvik
    Flashed zip
    Was asked to select recovery reboot option
    Went to EVO screen with light coming out top
    Rebooted into recovery.

    I then rebooted again into normal phone and all was well.

    Yep I did it also and it inproved my signal at home went from roaming to 2 bars and 1X to 3G. Im just to new to this to sugest that someone follow my lead. Also the 1st reboot was a little strange. Thanks

    i ran the pc36img thru bootloader and had no abnormal reboots or anything... i thought, could be wrong, that it was recommended to flash radio's via bootloader...

    ocnbrze DON'T PANIC!!!!!!!!!

    it really does not matter how you flash the radios. i think that that is easier, but a lot do not know how to use the PC36IMG and it is simpler just to flash it in recovery.

    on mine i cant really tell, i already have outstanding battery life, so if there is a difference, its very minut on mine

    Signal has improved however....

    If you get better signal, you should see better battery life out of it as the phone will not have to work as hard to send/receive. I haven't seen a huge improvement with the cell signal but my 3g speeds have just about doubled.....went from 800dl/300ul to 1500dl/600ul.

    I didnt think of that inproving. I just flashed last night but that may inprove for me when at home because the signal where i live is terible but now im not switching back and forth roaming and not roaming. ill see in a couple days.
