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

I flashed to the Telus radio which is better than the stock or Sprint 1.11 radios in the DC/Baltimore area using Mighty's 4.5 rom.

I do have a question though,
why do the custom Roms include all the other files if we're only using the RUU_Signed file in our Diamonds ? per Tobey's flash instructions

and noticed some of the other same-named files are larger, e.g. in Telus Rom

that is one way to flash adding the RUU_Signed file to the Diamond RUU folder but you can also just use the packaged roms. You don't need to drag out the RUU file since all roms are packaged now.

I just broke down and switched from the original stock sprint radio to the telus radio. WOW!!! I live in Charlotte, and the signal is better, and the battery life is significant. I no longer have sunburn on my cheek anymore!!!

ROM and Radio ROM are two separate entities. The ROM holds the OS and all the base apps. The Radio ROM holds the information for the phone to get radio signals from the towers. It's obviously much more complicated than that, but that's the basis behind the two. When making a ROM, you CAN "Cook" in the Radio, but most do not do this as it gives the user the control on that.

MOST if not all of these radios flash without messing with the data on the phone. Regular ROM's (Mighty, Groove, etc) do a reset on the device when flashed, clearing all ROM information and replacing it with the new one.

It's always good practice to backup with either PIM or SPB or Sashimi or something before flashing ANYTHING, in case of power failure, battery failure, phone lockup, chuck norris roundhouse kick to the face resulting in a disconnected USB while flashing... You know... just normal stuff that can happen to anyone.
