Update radio after r6 root?

[Guest Scutworker]

I am going to root my Desire using the risk free root r6 method described in these forums.

No worries there (I hope).

But the second post in that forum refers to updating the radio to "2.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2 Radio" as an OPTIONAL update.

So...

What does this update do? Do I need it (I am on T-Mobile UK)

And how do I apply it? I see it says using the "recovery-xxx.sh method" but I don't see that command in the r6 download zip.

Can I apply it using Rom Manager? Do I even need to apply it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ta,

BUMP!

Can any body help with this?

What difference does the radio make, and how can I install it.

Ta.

tbh you're better off staying with the existing radio - newer ones seem to drain battery more...I'm still on the original radio having tried the 2 newer ones

OK, that sounds like a better idea. Thanks for replying.

Iv been looking into this root method as well. I got the impression from the initial post that it doesn't alow you to flash custom Roms.

Is that true or did I misunderstand?
