flashing a new radio issue

**elesbb** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-30-2011, 10:19 AM

after flashing the latest verizon radio , my device lags exponentially . its happened with two devices I've had . could my radio be faulty on my laptop since I copy it to different locations a lot ? what could be doing this ?? it happens to every rom I flash too .

alright , I just flashed back to stock radio , works fine . downloaded again the latest vzw radio and it works . must have been a bad file I had since it was so old .

alright it still slows to a crawl . anyone know why this is happening when I flash a different radio ? I remember on my very first phone I had the vzw radio on it with much increased service . why can't I flash that radio onto my phone now ?

This post has the verizon 2.37 radio. It was part of the verizon MR3 update.

hmm I had that radio on my tp2 for the longest time since VIN included it with his rom until I bought my arrive and flashed back to stock thinking that id get more than $25for it and I had no issues with it.

yeah I had it on my other touch pro 2s with custom roms . but since I build roms for barebones , I have a feeling I left something out . I'm gonna try the prl update after flashing the new radio , but I do have the latest (51079) is what it is . so I don't know if a different one will come up with the different radio or not . oh well back to the drawing board ! ^-^ never know till ya try !

bumping my old post , but i still have yet to figure this out . its driving me NUTS ! seriously guys (chefs) is there some secret as to why i cant flash any other radio except for stock ? even running the stock ROM i couldnt flash any other radio . it would flash ok and then later it would just lag like He11 !!! it drives me nuts i get so much better service with the latest vzw radio i would LOVE to be able to have my custom ROM running with this radio .. ugh . fml

usually ROMS don't have anything to do with signal but it could be the fact that some roms use the 7 bar signal indicator while the others just use the 5 thicker bar signal indicator.

yeah I did a field test on a bunch of ROMs , and the signal didn't change , its the latest verizon radio that does it for me .
