Radio upgrade to 2.13

[vboyz103]

Updated on VZW 6800 but no difference notice for me!!

I think it's all YMMV on coverage areas.

No changes here. EVDO still works on the cellular band here. Voice still works fine on PCS band.

Has anyone played with the gps at all. This firmware should have the ability to use the built in gps. so i think that would be the biigest advantage of all this.

I just ended up downgrading to 1.40 radio/60608 PRL, definitely seems that YMMV depending on your area.

I thought I remember from another radio thread that there is a way to upgrade without having to hard reset. Anybody else remember that? Am I just making stuff up?

OK... Maybe people don't want to hard reset and reload all their programs for a radio upgrade that may or may not do anything at all.

PS. If you think the people are "scary," maybe you should go hide : )

Don't know if any of the RUU's for the 6800 have been modified for this, but there is some info if you want to try to alter it yourself. Lots of people from that thread reported doing a soft reset only and it worked fine.

I just tested OZ Messenger with the new radio and it still does not work. Same error as before.

Anyone have another link for the 2.13 radio file, my ftp is blocked.

Thanks
