Ok I looked a bit around and could not find a clear answer to my question so here it goes.
I have the HD2 Telstra T9193 and I want to update it with the best in Radio and ROM, so I started to look around for info, I read the:
FAQ FOR FLASHING HTC HD2 (LEO)
Graphical Questions & Answers: flashing ROM & HSPL
But now I have a question that came to my mind. I bought the T9193 because the frequency it uses is similar to what we use here in Brasil, diferent from the rest of the world, so installing a radio that works nice on most HD2 may cause problems with my T9193? I wonder that since the frequencies are diferent the radio might be not configured to use them, or perhaps this have nothing to do with the radio and will not make any diference.
What you think about this?
What radio should I install? Any suggestions?
How do I know wich radio is best for me? I should stay with the suggested radio for each rom or I can try with the latest and change it if I have problems?
Thank you very much for the help.

Correct, radio has no effect on the frequencies.
Most people find 2.10.50. or higher work fine, with 2.11.50 and 2.15.50 seemingly most popular.
I'm using radio 2.14.50 on my T9193, works fine
BUT: please remember that one must 1st flash the radio ROM and then 2nd, flash the main ROM of your choice. If you flash the radio ROM 2nd (like a simple "update"), the various radio elements will do strange and annoying things

Hey. I used to have xelecin's custom 2.26 ROM running with the 2.47 radio upgrade. I was having problems with it freezing sometimes, but my signal for phone calls was amazing. I recently upgraded to the latest official ROM on t-mobile's website and the same 2.47 radio upgrade. Now the phone is running better, but i have crappy signal. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Try out different Radio Roms until you find the one that works the best for you. I've tried a few and so far the 2.47 has worked the best for me and I have the T-mobile 2.26 Rom but a lot of people seem to think the 2.19 works better for them. There's plenty of different versions on here to try out.

Is the 2.19 radio version your talking about the UK one I've seen people writing about? If it is, does it work in the USA?

Yes. If you are on the Cingular network and you are using a custom ROM, the 2.19 radio is the best. In fact, on most custom ROMs, the 2.19 radio is the best choice. Usually the ROM cook will recommend a certain radio ROM in the ROM thread (normally in the first post).
I have a T-Mobile MDA G3 and I'm using the most up to date "official" ROM on the T-Mobile website (ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE).
2.19 will still work. just go to the top sticky in this forum and there are several different Radio Roms for you to chose from. If you try 2.19 and it happens not to work just pick another one to flash. Radio Roms flash easily and you don't lose any of the information on your phone.
Ok, I thought it as the top sticky in this forum. I think I've been spending way too much time in here lately. Anyway, they are around here somewhere but if for some reason you can't find them let me know and I'll up any of them you want to try. I have most of them.
I was just wondering if i can update the radio software/firmware on my phone to a newer one without having to install a newer rom and if i can what is the best version for use with O2-UK. Is there also a chance it may solve the sms not being recieved issue?
I currently have 2.07 radio installed (came installed on the phone from new) and i have seen mentions of 2.10 and 2.11 radio. I've also see in the last few days somone saying they use the taiwan radio for the uk to give better signal strangth. How does that work?
Yes, it can be done...dont know the tread but will see if I can find it!
Here you have the info...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1
OK cool and thanks cfds. Now next question, whats the best version of the radio to use for O2-UK?
Hello,
I have a question. In order to use that Custom RUU to flash a new radio do I have to install HSPL or I just use it without other modifications to my phone?
Thank you!
That's a good question actually, I hadn't thought of that.

You may have a look into the related Radio thread in the HD2 ROM Development section:

Installing:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

Where did you get that radio from? I looked in the radio thread and the newest one i could see there was 2.10.50.08_2. Also did you install the newest rilphone.dll when you flashed your radio? That also begs the question what is the newest version of that file?

Hmmm maybe it was a typo....
And it's true, the latest radio (in my case 2.10.50.08_2) works brilliantly with my O2 sim. Also, when you select a network (I use Energy's roms) Select O2 PrePay. Those are the correct settings

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669042 and no i never messed with rilphone.dll as i read it was best to leave that alone.
Thanks for the link. I've installed 1.42.hspl and the radio from the link provided so lets see what happens.
there are also 2.10.50.26_2 & 2.10.50.28_2 raidios all off them work ok on o2 but i have found 2.10.50.19_2 the best signal in my area of the uk.
this does seem to have improved my signal but if i walk round the corner from the flat to a mates house i couldn't get a 3G signal at all so we will see if this helps
Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks
If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?
I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks
Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance
My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1
I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks
Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.
Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks
I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks
Is anyone in US, on AT&T network with T8585 model, pleased with upgrades beyond:
ROM version 1.66.405.2
Radio version 2.06.51.07
That is what I'm running now, and am looking for any possibilities of increased performance on AT&T network in US. Has anyone installed upgrades beyond those versions and noticed significant improvements? Thanks.

Your Radio is fairly "old", might check the Radio Rom Threads, some of the newer radios perform better in some areas, for different people ....

Thanks for the quick help. Is the Radio Version dependent on whether it's the T-Mo version or the stock T8585?
As a rule of thumb, just make sure you stay in these forums rather than the TMobile HD2 forums (which are separate, and say TMobile in the name ) and you should be fine.
As to what's "best", it's different for every phone in every region. I'm currently running 2.12.x, but there are plenty running 2.07.50.x, 2.10.x, etc. Just try em out for a few days and see what works for you.

except that non tmous hd2 can flash all the tmous roms and radios, so no problem
Ah good to know.
With SPL v. 1.42.0000 installed, will that be sufficient to try various Radio Versions, or is it necessary to have a newer SPL version than that? Also, any direct link you are aware of for step by step radio version upgrade? If so, thanks in advance for saving me some time searching on my HD2 on Edge.

none of the spl's will allow you to flash radios. You need hspl.
(unless you meant to type you had hspl 1.42.hspl? 1.42.0000 is stock)
if you havent hspl yet, get hspl3 from mysig, (or the hspl thread) run it, choose 2.08.hspl, then you should be good for flashing roms, radios or whatever you like.
Tried a radio version upgrade to: 2.12.50.2_2. Wasn't working as it was cutting out voice on my calls every other second. Trying the version listed below and that seems to be working fine so far. Anyone else on AT&T US bands with T8585 having particular success with a specific version?
Hi all, Sorry to possibly hijack the thread, but I wanted to ask a quick question about flashing an HTC HD2 radio. I'll be getting my HD2 sometime this week (it's a TMobile US version) and I plan on using it on AT&T. I understand this shouldn't really be a problem out of the gate for normal call usage and data edge usage as the radio frequencies are the same.
However, I was wondering if it's possible to flash the T9193 radio rom onto the version I'll be getting (T8585 if I've been reading and learning everything correctly) so I can use the AT&T 3G 850mhz band?
No.

You won't get AT&T 3g connection with T8585 version (no radio will make T8585 get AT&T 3g connection since T8585 doesn't have 850mhz band). You get AT&t 3g if you have T9193.
i recently switch to radio 2.15 from 2.10 and im still having network connection issues... little to no reception while everyone else on tmo *which im on* has atleast 3 bars should i have a specific radio for my region or is it rom dependant? im running i believe pure droid 1.7 gingerbread 2.3.2 and help is appreciated
trial and error.
is it possible to check radio version in android, as well as to change/update it?
I wonder if my radio version could be the source of my gps woes..
Maybe just check what the chef of your rom suggests.. that mostly helps. Or than try some just on your own to figgure out which is best for you..;-)
remeber andrew the rom your using usually has a specific radio so check the first page of the rom thread and the dev will usually tell you what radio , cwm , magldr you need for any given rom
