I've been on the newest 4.08 radio also and have had no issues. Can't really tell too much of a difference TBH

That's how I feel about it.

Why scared? I use it, and it seems pretty good. Of course, I've never used 11.19...

With the whole MD5 stuff like call me a noob, but I'm really not sure how all that stuff works, thats why I'm scared lol.

I posted some general info on MD5 on the second page. If that's not enough info to reassure you that's fine, but otherwise please do read the forums. That page I linked has another link to a page with more info on MD5 which further has a link to the Wikipedia page on MD5. There is a ton on info out there, the best reference I know of is on bullzip's info page, it's like a fingerprint for the file.

Alright, thank you, I mean I've looked into the whole MD5 thing before, it just seemed really overwhelming to me, but I'll be sure to take another look!

it sounds high tech but its fairly easy to use

[CaptSk1ttles]

Hope you guys got everything squared away

That's a great way to put it.

Dealing and flashing radio's is the most dangerous part of tinkering with your phone. It's the most likely to brick your phone in the event something goes wrong, such as flashing a corrupted file.

Going along the example listed above, MD5 "hashes" (the really long string of digits/letters) are generated for a file as a reference. When you download a file, especially a radio, you run an MD5 "checksum" and compare if to the listed MD5 sum. If everything matches up, you have a 100% perfect copy of the file. If some letters are off, your file is corrupt/bad.

It's the simplest, easiest and best way to make sure you don't make a terrible choice by flashing a bad radio and dicking up your multi-hundred dollar investment.

I'll test this issue when i get home from Work around 6pm EDT at first it looked like a file size issue however it was a network issue on my phone.

for now try http://dougpiston.com/files/Radios/P...5.00.04.08.zip

please make sure the MD5 matches the OP and you need S-off and maybe the .92 HBOOT

Hey guys! Just wanted to say that I downloaded the GB Evo Radio from the OP and checked the MD5, unfortunately it didn't match the OP MD5. I then downloaded it 3x to be sure...still didn't match, so I downloaded the one from the link above, MD5 matched perfectly, it flashed within 30secs and my phone booted and is working normally.

I'll look into this

verification 1



verification 2

I would have to guess you downloaded using your phone. Please download using your computer tis better that way

Are/were you using a download manager?

[AndroidGirl]

No. I downloaded directly from the OP link on my PC. The alternative link I found in this thread matched the MD5 and that's the one I flashed

I did download from my pc however, I did only use one verification program...which is one that you suggested (the Android version) could this be the problem? Anywho, still doesn't make sense to me because I downloaded from the alternative link you posted using the same pc and used the same Android MD5 checker, and it matched.

that is weird I downloaded from the same link and they matched, I guess some things are unexplained

[jladronka]

Try using a MD5 verification on your pc.

Same. Will test some battery life stuff in the coming day or two, but no difference that I can discern of yet.

On day two as well. So far no noticeable difference in signal or battery life. Going to stay with it as newer is better, right :P
