Someone rip the radio so we can flash it. It would be greatly appreciated

I ripped the radio NB out... now to compile the NBH. Any tool other than YANG that is recommended for our devices before I start?

Haha, well, I grew a pair and tested it on my own phone. Works just fine, but it did stall on 97% for a while trying to give me a heart attack.

Anyway, here is the link and I take no responsibility if it causes issues on your phone. I have a VZW RHOD500, and I wouldn't recommend flashing this on any other devices.

Has anybody else tried this yet? Not sure if it is the radio or the PRL update I just did, but 3G is a little bit faster than 2.35 was for me. Pulling around 600 Kbps from inside my building when I used to get around 400 Kbps. On Opera Mini, it pulls quite a bit faster. Used to get like 2100 Kbps, but it's jumped to 2400 Kpbs

Just did the update (Verizon stock MR2 to MR3). ROM Utility reported the same ROM version as MR2. The upgrade took a little less than 5 minutes from the time I saw the multi-colored boot screen. When phone came back up, the ROM information is identical to MR2, except for the Radio (as previously mentioned). This ROM has the same date and versions. I don't see the point of this update at all, but I don't think it actually flashes the whole phone, as the upgrade was much quicker than MR2. Hope this helps others!

You are correct. They only updated the radio and SPL.

I think I know the answer, but here goes anyway: Is there any way to flash the new radio only without losing all my data and settings like I do in a ROM-flash or MR upgrade?

Yes, the radio update in the zip does not touch the OS portions

Just unzip and run CustomRUU.exe. You do have to be CID unlocked though.
