thank you very much! the stock sprint radio i have gets ridiculously hot, so i'm thinking a different one is in order. guess i should start trying them

So which radio are most of you guys using? My brother-in-law is about to get a Sprint Diamond.

Honestly it's up to personal experience for most of us. I personally have found the sprint radio 1.11.00f and Telus 1.04.05v to run the best overall. I tend to flash the telus one the most.

apparently It all depends where he lives, this thread is the best I've found for a compiliation of which radio to flash depending on your city.

Hello,

Im on Sprint in Tucson, Arizona and recently flashed to 1.11, but I would like to try out the Telus radio. I download from the link, and when I try to run RUU Updater from the unrared file it crashes automatically. I haven't had a problem with updates so far, second ago I just put on Mystery Rom 4. I redownloaded the file and unrared that again as well, but same issue. Any ideas?
EDIT

In fact the first file I unzipped will not allow me to delete it, says I need permission. I am the admin, and the second unzipped file deleted fine, very odd.
Thanks

probably still thinks the file is open. But, since you've already flashed to 1.11.00, you probably have the files from that, simply delete the nbh from that release, and replace it with the one from the telus release.

But this still doesn't sound that great of an idea, because if it's crashing, that could mean that it's corrupt, and if that's the case, I wouldn't take the chance of bricking the phone with a corrupt rom image...

Dunno, I would try to get the actual telus one to work first before trying anything with the phone.

Does anyone else have a mirror for the Telus radio? It appears from my end that the file may be corrupt now. The RUU for me does not open, yet the RUU for other roms/radios opens fine. Im afraid to swap the file if it is corrupt and brick my phone.
If not any other suggestions on other radios for the arizona area? This 1.11F has a pretty bad EVDO connection, and heats up a bit more than the stock.

Thanks.

The 1.11F came from a shipped sprint rom I installed before installing MysteryRom4. Here is something odd though-

I tried to download the stock sprint radio, and I have the same issue with RUU, it will just crash after I unzip the file and double click on ROMUpdateUtility, am I doing something wrong?
EDIT
Instead of Unraring the package I double clicked the Update Utility and it opened fine, Im wondering if this has something to do with my winrar.

just to let everyone know:

1) There is nothing wrong with the .nbh file for the Telus radio, or any other for that matter. They have all already been tested, by me, before I posted them. And, I just downloaded the Telus and flashed it to be 100% sure.

2) Make sure that your download goes to 100% to avoid downloading a corrupt archive file.

-----

If you are having problems using any RUU, check your antivirus software. Some softwares identify RUUs as a type of virus. Try turning off your antivirus software while you are flashing to resolve this.

I apologize for the confusion this must be a problem on my end. The only updater files that aren''t opening are these radio files, confuses me. I dont want to run one unrared, doesnt seem very safe. Any suggestions?

Last EDIT I hope

So all I did was drag the RUU file from the file winrar made for it, and it worked fine. Makes no sense to me.
