PLEASE NOTE: flashing just the radio (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU REMOVE THE SPL FROM THE RADIO NBH FIRST) will cause your phone to say "NO RADIO" when it boots. BUT the phone will still work just fine. It has great signal and my internet is 5x faster than it was (based on the speeds i'm getting at dslreports.com/mspeed)


I've successfully flashed it back to the stock radio with no problem.

anyone else try this?

You are on Sprint, correct?

No offense, but I'd like to see some actual upload/download speeds. I'm not necessarily doubting your claims, but I'd like some results in numbers.

I did something similar but did not break apart the SPL from the Radio. It flashed successfully, displaying the radio information during boot, but it will not get past the HTC Welcome screen. It will be a few days before I get a replacement, so if need be I'll be a guinea pig for the unlocker.

So I am impatient and updating my phone right now.

For the speed skeptic, I just got 898kbit/sec on dslreports.com/mspeed without rev a. I will edit this post to tell you what I get after update. BTW, I am in the 116 SID right now.

Edit: Thanks mark. I found those particular files earlier, but looked p***** them as the one is missing. I also need to know how to use them. So if you or anyone else knows how to use them and finds the other, please let me know.

Edit 2: Speed wasn't any faster for me. Probably my market. Would love to get that GPS working though!

Edit 3: wow... alot of edits... anyway. 3rd file is up on the same thread over at xda. Anyone know where to put it?

As i've said before and will say again don't run special_4350 radios and if you run a GPS/3.xx/785 header radio there are parts that will not be overwritten when you downgrade. This may appear to work fine most of the time, but it definitely could cause issues as well so be aware of the risk.

Additionally for all those that have the phones stuck in the 2.01 bootloader i'm going to be working on a fix, but my phone is currently bricked in a different state.

As for the new unlocker, i want to do more testing because it looks like there are other things i might need to check with this rom before the 2.xx hardSPL is safe to flash.

I have alltel and am about to flash. Anyone have those three files for GPS and can walk me through how to add them? I read on xda that the GPS is not working, though there was not much more info than that.

Also, can I go ahead and flash now and add them later? Never flashed before, only had the phone for a month and haven't been hacking at it or anything, so I'm definitely new to this. Though I am pretty computer capable! hehe

Someone hurry up and give me some info cause I am in a hurry to do this on the quick-fly!!!

For the people that flashed with alltel phones.... Is the GPS working?
