Best Avaliable Radio Rom???

All,
I have recently upgrade to Xda Live v0.20 an has been working great since doing so...
I have never had any real problems with the device but latley calls have been hanging (Not able to end the call) call quality not all that good and calls cutting out....
Spoke to a friend who has upgraded his rom and said all the issues that he had went... Ah ha.... i thought... thats what i need...
So i ask... what is the latest radio rom that works and is there a small chance that i will brick my device....
Many Thanks

I'm running the LVSW Edition of WM6. I have radio 1.34.00.10 and seems to run fine though not had the OS installed long.
Would like to try radio 1.35.00.11 but cannot seem to download from xda ftp. Can anyone point to another source for this radio rom?
Cheers

Ok thanks for this....
Really worried about bricking the phone... Is it a difficult process??
Is it stable?
I know there are so many questions but i a quite new to this sort of thing...

Are you trying this site for the ftp (Hermes Uploads)? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes.
Or this one ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/
Both started downloading ok for me.
Why do you want to upgrade from 1.34.00.10 to 1.35.00.11? From what I've read in some of the other threads the only benefit the 1.35 radio has is that it is GPS enabled - not much use because the Hermes is no good for GPS.
I've made the above statements from paraphrasing others because I haven't compared these radios and don't need GPS - so I'll be happy if others correct me.
Maybe a bit of reading (probably lots really ) could save you the time of an un-necessary upgrade - but probably finding the info will take longer than flashing the rom!!!

so your saying that there is no need to upgrade my rom....
There is benefit for me in doing so?

Excuse me, but the Hermes is gooed for GPS. The only thing is that our Hermes-gods are working on an antenna. The antenna is not (yet) connected to the 'GPS-chip'. GPS worls, but there is only a weak signal.

What is the Radio for the X1 ?

In few threads i can read about X1 radio what is is ?? i know that the x1 have a rds radion in built but what is the download ?? PLS HELP ME i am a NOOOOOB at windows mobile.
thanks for all the people that can help me !!!
i mean this "IV - TRANSMITTER RADIOS" for the x1.
and sry for my english its only that what ive learnt in the school....

If you are talking about the Radio Panel to listen to FM radio stations then that should come pre-installed on your X1 and is usually located on the 6th panel. If it is not there then you can go to the panel manager settings and make it visible through there.
However, if you are talking about the GSM Radio version of the X1 then that is built-in within the ROM when the device is flashed and something that should not be played with unless you know what you are doing.
I hope this helps!

thx for the answer but in few threads you can download an
IV - TRANSMITTER RADIOS

whats that ? only a firmware update of the in built radio ?? the overline says transmitter radios whats that
did you mean its good to download ?
thx

Hi SaAlWe, these "radios" are the software which controls how your device talks to the cellular network for voice and data. I also believe it controls wi-fi as well.
The original Xperia X1 radios are designed specifically for the X1, the others are taken from similar devices which are made by HTC who also made the X1 for SE.
Flashing a new radio will only change the radio, and "usually" doesn't affect anything else, although as always, YOU take the risk!
I haven't yet changed the radio on my X1 as it works fine, but I have changed it on other HTC devices with some good results of improved signal and less battery usage.
Hope this helps.

remember to backup anything first before flash radio rom, it will deletes all things on phone... i know because i did it just now no one telling me doing radio rom will hard reset phone at the same time...

How strange, I've flashed the radio rom plenty of times on other HTC devices and it didn't alter anything, forget causing a hard reset!
Thanks for the heads-up foxcheng, it takes me ages to rebuild all my apps and settings after a hard reset, so I won't change my radio now.

Absolutely positively 100% NO: UPGRADING YOUR RADIO ROM WILL NOT DELETE ANYTHING BUT THE PREVIOUS RADIO FIRMWARE
I've flashed TONS OF RADIOS (testing, editing, comparing...) and NEVER lost a single bit of my data
Please check the RADIO'S THREAD if you want to learn more about this topic

Thanks gtrab, I've never had a problem with my other HTC devices, so was thinking of trying a new radio at some point, until I read foxcheng's post which scared me off.
However, if you've done it lots of times on the X1, I'll give it a go.

does this mean that *IF* we can take the rom and radiofrom the "touchpro2" from T-mobile, we can POSSIBLY recieve 1700/2100 3G band for the X1a?

having a problem with reception

My reception is poor on the phone. If I stick a piece of wire into the antenna port, it improves. I have flashed to the Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM which I believe has an upgraded radio version and am still having problems. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Welcome to forums
Enter to the Universal Wiki and go to the fttp site, then you can download several radios.
The best way is to test the more you can till you get the one with best reception.
What version do you have?
Most recommended are 1.15, 1.17 and 1.18
Good luck,

Most ROMs don't have the radio included, you need to flash it separately. So, no, don't think your ROM came with upgraded radio included. Speaking opf upgraded radio - sometimes upgraded, as in higher in number/date of issue is not necessarily the best for your particular location/ROM combination, so my advice would be to test a few different versions and see which one performs the best in your location.

Thank you kindly for the assistance. It was this issue that led me to put my Universal away and get an Advantage, but once I found this website I decided to see if I could get some help in fixing the Uni. I was missing it

whelp I put the Radio 1.18 on and it did no good at all. I attempted to put the Radio 1.15 on, but the flash utility is showing a picture of a device that is not a uni and it is not working when I try it. I have downloaded the file from a couple of different places on here and it is labeled as Universal_radio-1.15.00
any assistance will be greatly appreciated up to and including my willingness to bear your child. As I am a male, this would be no easy feat so it should show the depth of my gratitude

I have 4 years with my Uni and tested a lot of ROM´s and radios and still have the bad reception problem.
Is something I can live with..., but in some areas reception is so bad.
Some are better than other. I discovered on my personal case that radio 1.08 and 1.18 are the ones that give me better signal and are not a battery eaters.
This must be also something to do with cell provider, on my case, Telcel sucks in terms of reception, and prices and, and....

problem is that it does not work at all in my office. maybe i can rig up an antenna that is on the inside of the phone

Yes, some ROM upgrade utility apps will show Magician. If you downloaded a file labelled as Universal_radio - go ahead, it's all good and it is for your device, don't worry about the picture, however, follow the reset instructions for Uni, not the ones shown. Should work, don't see any reason not to. What is the message you are getting?
Rigging up an antenna should be the last resort. As far as reception is concerned, I can have only 1 bar showing or none at all, but that means I still have the reception, it's when I don't see 3G or the data connection attempts to connect and fails, I know there is a problem.
Interesting thing: we have a large mall and part of it has no reception whatsoever for my Uni, yet has some on other cellphones I use, but barely. So when I enter that area my GPRS and 3G connection disappears completely and restarts when I leave, I know exactly the location of the 'communications black hole'.
Can it be that your office blocks the GPRS? Can it be that your internal antenna is malfunctioning? What are the exact symptoms?
As for bearing children for me, I think it's the job better left to the professionals (women)

Forgot to mention, I don't have reception in my very own garage of all places! Drives me nuts!

that probably for the best since I wasnt sure where to begin. I went home and googled it and surprise surprise it's supposed to be darned near impossible (edit: me giving birth, that is)
my whole building is a blackout zone for my phone. other phones are weaker, but my uni is the only one I have seen that has no reception whatsoever. I got the radio 1.15 working and still no go.
I got the uni because I really need a phone that I can realistically work with Word and Excel on to save me the hassle of carrying around a laptop. I don't think anything will work besides a 'custom' internal antenna or maybe I just stick with the Advantage until the new rumored HTC clamshell comes out (assuming I can afford it)

don't get your hopes up. It's all a part of the rumors swirling around about the Leo and the Thoth since it looks like the Thoth will no longer be of the Advantage line

Thanks for that
Hopefully they really launch something similar to Uni!!

Alright, as a very last suggestion - try factory ROM, it comes bundled with Radio and Ext Rom, see what happens.

it's all a no go
looks like I am going to have to go to work on it.
Now all I need is a plasma torch, 50 feet of nylon rope, a hydraulic press, 17 ferrets, and a bible

Hero Radio Rom Poll

Guys,
we need to have some sort of a poll for the best radio out there so that everyone can benefit from it.

just use the newest..

and the result of this will not be plain the "best" radio. also you don't know about different networks in different countries etc... i second my precessor, just use the newest as long as it doesn't make trouble.

I use the newest one, until i find a problem.

you won't find a problem with newer ones, since all radios as of yet are abysimal at best with 3G

Bluetooth now works well on 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
I am in the UK and did the update from HTC to fix the Sense speed etc.
Once I did this my Bluetooth stack was shot. Dropped all the time and would hang connecting to A2DP unless I did a reboot etc.
Not sure what the radio number was in that build.
I just got fed up and rooted my phone and flashed 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22.
Wow, now Bluetooth is working like a charm (only been 1 day but a world of difference).
3G and 2G seem the same as before for connection and signal etc.
Just thought I would let you all know my findings.
Regards
Russ

i bought it with an older energy, ies i checked all options ... the problem is the range ... it works just fine when is near (5-10 cm) for example to send a video i need the other phone on top of mine if i lift it at a certain point stops if i let it dows the transfer continues... a simple question would be the radio version affects also wifi and bluetooth ? could be a problem form wrog instal a rom from old user ?

AsFor your question yes the radio does control WiFi and Bluetooth and maybe a different radio version would help you out. But be aware if you have a T-Mobile HD2 you can not flash a 2.04.50.zz, 2.05.50.XDA, or any x.xx.51.xx radio to they will brick a TMOUS HD2. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to download different radio versions. Here is a link to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Also you can try doing a hard reset of the HD2 by holding down the volume up and down button while powering on your HD2 and it will bring cupcake stern with instructions on it. Just follow the instructions on the screencto reset the HD2. Make sure to use Microsoft My Phone or a equivalent app to back up you personal info before you hard reset your HD2.

sounds to me like a hardware problem. this is because (i think) the hd2 uses the same antenna and/or chipset for bluetooth+wifi. i remember reading some threads in which people posted the exact same symptoms as the OP and the problem turned out to be some loose/broken antenna wire inside the device.
