“Unofficial” Radio Update for G1\MT3G
T-Mobile is preparing to push a minor Android update (DMD64) to G1 and MT3G users in the near future (March 15th, according to the official sources). Although not the Eclair 2.1 update everyone has been hoping for, the update will
Improve G1 user’s call performance only and does not include any additional feature enhancements. The Android 1.6 DMD64 OTA (this OTA is not Android 2.0 Eclair) is being sent to G1 customers only and is not being sent to other Android devices at this time. myTouch 3G users have already received this update and myTouch 3G LE, as well as myTouch 3G with 3.5mm jack devices will not receive this update as these devices have the updated software.

Based on my own experience with the update, I can certainly verify that there is an improvment in both call quality and reception. Many other users have also responded positively to the update on XDA( Link ).
Feel free to download the update, put it on the root of your SD card, and flash it in recovery mode. Make sure to allow the update to completely install, and reboot using the option in recovery mode (Do not use the power + menu + call method of rebooting as it will corrupt your radio image!)
Enjoy the improved call quality and reception!

Not sure if it is compatible w/ the Magic 32A. The MyTouch is based off of the Magic32B, so I would wait for your provider to release an OTA update, just to be safe.

Is this OK to use on the UK Magic (32B)? Are the radio’s different for the UK and USA version?
Thanks.

Not sure, I would check the XDA forum for feedback from other MT3G users in the UK.

This could be the radio update for eclair roms or google is ready to release a eclair update very soon. I switched over to a eclair rom and seemed faster than before. This could be a sign…

@scotti2427 should work fine on a UK phone. A mate in germany flashed it the other day and had no problems with it.

Thanks guys.
Flashed it yesterday but having battery problems since then.
Battery drains twice as fast and now wont charge completely – the last little bit of battery bar wont fill up even when plugged into the mains charger!

Just tried flashing the old radio back and it won’t. Just gives an error.
Anyone any idea how to go back?

Manually updated myself, works great. Improved call quality.

Glad everyone is enjoying the radio update, no need to be afraid. If you follow the instructions, you will be fine and shouldn’t have any issues.

No one got any ideas on how to go back? This is killing my battery. Instead of 2 days before I’m having to charge I now get about 8 hours and thats without making a call!
2010/03/11 at 14:42:23
Although I doubt this update is killing your battery, you can easily flash back to the 26I radio. Just go into the XDA forum, and I’m sure someone has already posted a link and instructions
