No. Roms don't include radios or any other firmware. You'd have to relock and RUU to get the radios. And if you want the 3.16 radio you'd have to take the OTA.

The latest available RUU is for 3.15 running it will update you that far then you would have to take the OTA to get to 3.16

Since you relocked, I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot. Go to here and download the RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 from the right. This will give you an RUU.zip. Throw that in your fastboot folder on the pc and follow step 8 and 9. This will run the RUU and put you in 3.15 Stock.

As long as you don't install a custom recovery or anything you should be able to accept the ota.

ok finally!! thank you all for great help and fast response, i am currently getting the OTA update Now if I want to unlock again and install custom ROM I can do that?

If you take the 3.16 OTA, only the newest version of TWRP (2.4.1.0) will work. And the only roms you'll be able to use are those that use 3.16 as a base. Any other base and the touchscreen might not work.

That's the radio for 3.16. It's the latest.

I am have to laugh at the original poster now. I don't want to go through the hassle of getting s-off! But now look at all the hassles you have. S-off is an easier and less hassle procedure!

Yes. S-off means you can flash anything/everything.
Find a froyo build for the rezound, and flash that.

Thanks, I had S-Off on my INC (love that phone), but never had to mess with updating or rolling hboot back.
thanks again,

Confirmation – Am I at the latest update?

Hello All,
I flashed the latest RUU and was wondering if I am at the newest Kernel, firmware, hboot, etc…
Attached are screen shots of what I am showing.
Thanks for any information!

Hey LakerStar25,
No i did not re-unlock my bootloader. My understanding since i am s-off i do not have to? Also i think i can flash a different bootloader to get rid of the tampered message?
I just wanted to make sure i was all up to date. I was getting confused with all the talk about flashing the leaked kernel, RUU, and firmware. Wasn't sure which to flash do i picked the RUU. Guess that was the correct one!

once you are s-off it doesnt matter the state of hboot being locked vs unlocked. BUT if you want to do fastboot commands with ADB you will need to have an unlocked hboot OR and engineering hboot.

Thanks to you as well. Ok. The instructions are a little sparse. I have a small netbook currently running ubunto, I could use that? Also, I would root with regaw and htc method and then use netbook for rest of instructions.
read the first post in the thread, it does work just follow the instructions.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Yeah but the instructions state to not do it with 1.22 (what i'm currently on) and only to do it with 1.13. Or am i mistaken?

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.
edit: Thanks guys!
Let me know what customer roms u install. Those sound interesting.

[Q] Upgrading to 3.16, S-OFF, Rooted.

I hate to sound like an idiot but I am a bit confused. I am currently rooted, S-OFF, running HBOOT 2.09, I have installed TWRP 2.4.1.0. I am on 3.15.651.16 and would like to upgrade to the latest OTA (3.16.651.3). I thought that once I was S-OFF and had the latest TWRP, I could simply take the OTA using (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770501) but when I take the OTA, the phone just reboots into the recovery. What exactly do I need to do in order to get the latest OTA installed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are indeed S-OFF there is no need to take the OTA you can just flash the needed files in bootloader

Thank you.
DirtyRacun. I am S-OFF. I just wasn't sure how to proceed. So I just take the "Full" Firmware from files from captain throwback and flash them. Do I need the TP image or boot img?

Full Firmware is all you need unless you are going to run a 3.16 based rom. Once more roms get updated to 3.16 you will need the TP image
I did not want to start a new Thread as this is a close to question,
I am

I have a question that is just slightly different. I am rooted, S-off at 3.15.651.710RD, Hboot 2.09.4444 (DirtyRacun's Hboot), radio 1.12.11.1119. I am looking into upgrading to 3.16.651.3. As I understand it I should update my firmware before flashing the ROM. My baseband is older than the present one as well as the PRI, BUT...the PRL (Preferred Roaming List?) is newer. I hoping that it won't matter as I know I can update the PRL via OTA at anytime but want to make absolutely sure I'm not going to screw this up by taking anything back to a previous version. Am I okay to flash the firmware in this instance?
update: Sorry I should have been more specific. I have baseband 1.12.11.1119, PRI 2.87_003 and PRL 25012. Looking to install the firmware that says it will give me baseband 1.12.11.1210, PRI 2.97_003, and PRL 24010. I noticed the PRL version is lower than the present version on my phone.
2-18-13 update: I went ahead and did the frmware update and upgraded the ROM to 3.16.651.3. From what I had been reading, I reasoned that the baseband (radio) was the one true thing I had to worry about. Everything worked like a charm. I'm actually kinda glad I decided not to wait for a reply as it gave me a bit more confidence to do what I basically thought was correct all along but was too timid to act on. Thanks again and I gave you a "thanks" button regardless.

update ruu again

hi, is it safe update ruu again, my firmware and recovery is already update from captain thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639180 and i want update again to the official RUU exe. thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653730&page=9 is it safe? or is there another way?
Thanx
Yes, you can run the ruu as many times as you want. The ruu is 1 step up from a factory reset, it pushes everything to the phone making sure it is like it should be from factory. It doesn't really care what version is on your phone.
I was on the pre release firmware from captain, then ran the ruu with no issues.
