GSM/3G module firmware

[Guest maxrfon]

Hi, does anyone know where is the 3G modem firmware in the update package?

All the hardware driver stuff is in the kernel itself.

Thanks, but i don't think so.

It's a normal PDA and like all the rest it has GSM/3G module and main ARM11 CPU (to run Android).

I may be wrong but i believe it's so.

What do you mean by 'firmware' then? Something that gets flashed onto the GSM chip itself?

The way Android is structured, there are generally just 2 parts that run native code(aside from the bootloader); the (linux) kernel, which has all the hardware specific stuff in it, drivers, etc; and the Java Virtual Machine, which runs everything else on the phone.

Now, there may be some libraries and other stuff written in native code, as well, but it's not the common situation, from my understanding.

Not always htc in particular release"radio"upgrades that can improve reception, battery life etc etc

It's simple:

Android OS is What you see on your screen and it has nothing to do with GSM.

Radio module OS inside the radio module mem.

They communicate via RIL (Radio Interface Layer).

When you making a call your Android OS sends AT command to the radio module OS (like AT+D bla bla).

So i am interested in the Radio module firmware of Streak.

Anyway if there is an upgrade i need to see it.

So far i browsed the update packages and i haven't found it.

I believe it's in the restore package (pkg) but it's crypted and i can't yet find a way to decrypt it.
