If your phone is working with no issues then no, there's no need to update the radios or PRL. The radio and baseband are the same things, just FYI. Also, I don't think the latest MeanRom ICS is v0.9, it should be v6.5, at least that's the version I'm rocking and there isn't a more updated version that I'm aware of. You'll want to update your radios if you plan on trying out any of the Jb roms though but the dev will post that in their thread so there's no confusion. To update your radio is pretty simple, follow the directions at the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645890

I am on Jelly bean rom I should have said that. Meanbeam 0.9 . But thanks for your help.

As we all know that the ICS update on the 10th of March, will I be able to update OTA update with this current baseband? It bcame LPH after flashing litening rom then reverted back to previous rom using rom manager however the baseband remained LPH. For OTA/KIES update to work, do i need to flash stock rom first?

Can anyone help me ?
Bit of patience might help. Bumping your thread an hour after you asked your initial question isn't likely to endear you to anyone here
Yes. If you want to get ICS via Kies, you'll need to go back to stock.
Updating through KIES if you are a power user isn't so good to be honest. For example, KIES force you to use the original ROMs baseband version if you want to receive firmware updates (also correct CSC and so on). Newest baseband doesn't always means the best one. I have compared XXKI4 to XXLPH and surely I've got better battery life-performance balance in KI4 So i can recommend you using Mobile Odin/Odin for flashing .. more flexibility to be honest
Baseband is not relevant .
Custom kernel is .
Kies updates those phones that have original firmware codes anything else and its a maybe.
OTA no rollout on that so far but supposed to be working for ICS .

All the topic found is not for the htc amaze, my question also is not answer, can I install it manually from a phone brought on videotron, with a videotron rom.

Answer #1 = search forum for the AMAZE, and also see the Bible, everything you need is in there.
Answer #2 = yes, you can
the ota you got from dslreports are the first version of ics (july 1st). I bet videotron will improve this one. Will see.
Videotron OTA rom
Seems that at the end of august , the ROM didn't change really , i have downloaded hanson2000's copy of the rom on dev. I tried searching the forums, but I was wondering why it would not find the update zip file on my sd card and use it. Do I need to have at least the bootloader unlocked of I need to go through the process of "s-off"ing it as well??

You don't need to use an update zip file, that won't work since the radio has to be updated along with the hboot, the answer to this question is in the bible thread, I'm pretty sure I linked it in my changelog.

S-OFF Question, please help solve this!

Ok so I'm not sure how my phone reverted back from the 1.22 ota back to 1.13, however that's not the issue. I have inserted a screenshot of my build number and baseband version. It shows that I am currently running 1.13, but when I go to run Lazy Panda, it still says "can not find the panda". What would be the cause of this? If it matters, I am running on MeanRom as well. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like your running a Rom based off of 1.13. If you updated your firmware via HTC then the panda will not be able to find some bamboo. The only way to get s-off is rooted running stock, on previous hboot version.
sent from my EVO LTE with it's security flags down.
1.22 firmware is not the same thing as 1.22 ROM. Once you apply the OTA, and the 1.22 firmware updates, you can't go back unless you are S-OFF. This is why it's never advisable to take an OTA (I'm aware you didn't say you took the OTA, not trying to claim you did) because it is often irreversible. For people who didn't have a choice, this is just unfortunate.
The ROM you're using is based on 1.13, but LazyPanda requires that your firmware also be 1.13, and that's not something you can check from within the ROM, if I recall correctly.

Understood completely. It seems as though it shows 1.13 but still has hboot at 1.15. I have been debating on whether or not to visit a friend of mine who works at sprint and see if I can come up with an excuse to have it swapped out, just don't know if they have the white LTE.

What's the real difference and should the ATT version work better on their system?

It should. Any chance in you backing up that radio image in your ATT 4.3 screenshot and sharing the img?

I would, but unfortunately I don't have the AT&T version on a phone...I just seen that screen shot. I love the Dev Edition, but maybe would try the AT&T radio if I could get it.
I know a friend with the new ota, maybe I can get a hold of his phone and snag a backup. If I do...I will post it up.

It's not my doing! Enjoy!:good:
After trying the AT&T radio for a day, I can see no difference over the Dev Edition radio I been using for a couple weeks. They both work great for me. I am using Straight Talk LTE on AT&T towers and the coverage is great throughout the city. I get excellent voice coverage and 16-25MB download speeds in most locations...a couple spots I have seen speeds under 10, but very rare with either radio. Personally I don't think there is much difference in the 2 radio. Of course based on your location, you may get different results.

Running RUUs w/o computer

Fried my laptops HDD, but is there anyway to run a ruu without a computer. I keep seeing info from other uses about running a ruu that'll fix the black screen issues with epilson kernel

The only question I have about that is I've realized its based from 2.23 fw...I'm guessing if I wanted 3.xx.xxx again. I'd have to update again.
That method flashes stock recovery. I don't have any means of flashing a custom recovery after I've flashed that RUU
AT&T hasn't released 3.x software, so therefore no corresponding RUU yet.

Well that sucks. I was hoping to flash xboxs latest kernel
@jxcorex28
If your S-off and Supercid than you can flash the 3.28.401.6 from link below .my device is the AT&T variant and the above 3.28.401.6 works great on mine and would allow you to use the updated kernel you wish to run

To upgrade my fw to the latest, I just ran the developer edition ruu 3.28.1540.5. Since it has the same bands as AT&T, my lte speeds weren't affected at all. In fact, in places way out of my city where I used to get spotty coverage going in and out, I now get consistent connection with a decent speed. I'm very happy I did mine this way.
Since you don't have a computer, maybe you can see if someone can make a bootable ruu from the exe posted in the forums
Who started that thread you pulled the RUU from ? Honestly I was thinking about doing GPE conversion. I rarely use sense anyways
I'm on 3.28.401.7 right now, have been for about 3 or 4 weeks

This Is the one I believe. Someone had made another post for the 3.xx ruu , bc the original one (at that time) was a few pages in. They one I downloaded was an exe file tho, the page has since been updated with zips ( not sure if they're just zipped exe files or bootable ruus, didn't really look)
In any case, it was the best decision I ever made for my AT&T m8. It was pretty cool to see it without all the AT&T bloatware and boot animations too, tho that changed pretty quick when I wiped it and flashed roms again
I've never used a RUU before, but I am on 3.28.401.7...just had to rename to 0P9BIMG and hboot flash....I've been looking for a way to convert to GPE. I never use sense roms
