[Jan 15th New Sprint Radio V1.11.00F] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Thread

[bilalhmd]

Can you flash a new radio if you have already flashed a custom ROM? I have flashed KK's loaded ROM v0.9 (first time flasher) and everything seems to have went o.k. But, then I tried to flash a new radio (latest sprint radio) and it will not let me do it. It says the ROM to be updated is KevanK (not the radio).

Do I have to go back to the original ROM in order to flash the radio?

Is there an additional step that I have to do now that I have a custom ROM?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

this is the diamond forum, not the touchpro forum.
no you would not need to go back to the original rom. be sure to check the stickies on the top of the CMDA Touch Pro upgrades forum to learn about flashing radios as well as to get the correct radio to flash. You should not flash a diamond radio on the tpro. They have them packaged properly on the tp upgrade forum so you will be all set. good luck.

When you go through the Radio Updater, it acts as if it updates the ROM, meaning, you have an installed version, and then an update version....Just install the radio, it will not over write your ROM.

Anyone know when Sprint would release the new radio officially? Still running stock radio but thinking of upgrading since I see alot of good feedback.

[wildrage]

I was using the Verizon radio since it was first leaked...maybe October or November? By the end of the day with moderate use I'd be at around 35%.

When I flashed the new leaked Sprint rom, wish included the radio, my handset went back to getting very warm, and my battery would be down to 60% after only 2 or 3 hours. I've narrowed it down to the radio, because I've used Mighty, OMJ, along with a few other custom roms and they all get crappy battery life with the new leaked Sprint radio.

I'm flashing the Telus radio now to see how that works, and if I'm not happy with it, I'm going back to Verizon.

Your milliage may vary, but I am sure that both Sprint radios kill my battery a lot more quickly than the Verizon one. Will report my experience with the Telus once it's been tested.

I've also had crappy battery life and low bars with Sprint's 1.11.00F. Trying Telus out right now.

The short answer is: yes.

But first, read the first few posts in this thread and understand what you are doing, and what might go wrong (though not likely...).

Especially pay attention to the warnings and disclaimers.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. I have flashed a radio before I just wanted to make sure
