I tool the big leap! It was met with success. Was able to upgrade my Vogue to Rev A/GPS using the Sprint rom. Everything went fine. No issues. The advice I received was most helpful as well as the read me notes that was included within the file. YOU GUYS ROCK!
Now, the real fun begins. Finding a mapping program to use with the GPS. I ran across a rom that requires the user to install a program that will install the 3.37.15 radio version. With the new upgrade to my unit the current radio version is 3.42.30. Isn't this considered a downgrade? Wont it create hardware issues? Feedback is appreciated.
Radio 3.42.30 is the latest so you shouldn't go to a ROM with a 3.37.15 radio. Since 3.42.30 was leaked recently, most of the cooks are in the process of upgrading their ROMs.
The two free programs I use for GPS are Microsoft's Live Search and Google Maps.
PLZZ Any One help me
My Cruise camera not work .. When i open it i see just Black
plzz any one help me or give me Rom or Redio Rom that fix this problem​
If your just seeing black its most likely the radio.
We need to know what rom you are using to suggest a radio.
You will either than a 1.59 radio or a 1.58 radio.
Just search the forums there are plenty around, cant just expect everyone to do everything for you

My Dear .. Thanks for ur reply
I use c_shekhar_Pola_1.60.21014aCS_Build21014_Public
and Radio : Polaris_Radio_1.58.21.23
...
I hope So u can help me
Well according to the thread the radio is included in that ROM which strikes me as odd that the camera isnt working.
I would try flashing another rom, preferably one that uses a 1.59 radio.
No One Can help me ...
Oh My God
OK, was the camera working fine after you flashed c_shekhar_Pola_1.60.21014aCS_Build21014_Public ROM/Radio?
- if it was, and stopped working after a time, you camera is likely to be faulty, you might try flashing a ROM/Radio again just in case.
- if it wasn't, then the ROM/Radio combination don't work with your device, try another ROM/Radio(read the recommended one) combination.
like Drakh said, it best to restore original ROM (radio rom included) te test if it's a firmware problem.
In my case I had to return my device for warranty cause it was a hardware defect. (something with loose connection toward the cpu.)
They swapped the device.
install pcarvalho eXtreme ROM it includes radio & now its the best rom exist.
me got no problem.... its a Hardware problem
??
Or 3lite VI it comes with radio 1.65 inside...
Edit...: here is a download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FWLTLIA6
update
Did you used the update from the HTC site? i remember when first bought the device and updated from there i had the same problem as u
short experience

You R not alone with these problems, I hardly returned back to original radio version and oridinal rom.
I change roms and radios many times and bluetooth with camera are lost forever.
1. I know exactly that is software problem, because camera stoped working after original upgrade direct from HTC
2. And bluetooth stopped after first radio change.
I have a feeling, there is no difference between Nokia and HTC about their quality. Only operational system makes difference
Just back to Rom ship because i got same problem and resolved now.
HelP..............................
Hi,
i was very happy with murata 1.58.21.23 and because of the fact that i need android i upgraded to the 1.65.30.09.
The problem ist that the camera doesn't work under 1.65... I've downgraded back to 1.58... (not as easy as it sounds like) and camera ran well again.
1. Does someone know any workaround for this issue? (The "Nadavi" camera trick didn't worked for me.)
2. Can someone give me an idea regarding the 1.71.09.01 Radio (for Kaiser)? Should I try it on a Polaris? and how to manage the wrong device id when flashing?
TIA,
Tester1975
What is your ROM version?
But, if you use radio 1.58, you cannot use ver. 1.65... Only 1.64... Search about driver versions and radio versions compatibility on this forum...
read here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Radio Versions and dropped calls
created it yesterday i was getting bored of writing the same thing over and over again so in the future try the wiki as it does have some useful info!
Also anyone think it needs adding to then go ahead and change it.
Now I've got it! Many thanks, you really saved me!
I know you are getting tired to give response to immature ppc users but on the other hand: how to search for knowledge if you don't know that this knowledge exists!
Greetings,
Tester1975
true but then again i did say some useful information on the wiki as for the polaris is pretty bad...
hi all the issue i have is with the reception of my fm radio which is very poor i use the latest gtx nrg rom i have the impression that is a hardware problem do you have any suggestions or should i sent my hd to the service center?
Maybe try with different headphones first. The antenna is actually the wire of the headphones.
i tried that i also compared my hd with another one using the same headphones the difference to the reception was significant any other recommendations?

Ouch, sounds like a hardware issue which you can't do anything about but to claim warranty.
My experiences with this HTC FM receiver are very mixed.
It seems that the screencontroller causes alot of noise which you can clearly hear when you have weak reception and the screen turns off.
Another thing I have, also on the Touch Pro, is that sometimes the fm receiver goes in some slow mute, unmute etc like a slow oscillator.

Hi. I confirm to have exactly your problem. I used task29 to format the rom and flashed a lot of new rom but the problem is always present. I think it's not a hardware problem becouse the radio has bad reception but it function. I think it's a driver problem. Before i started to flash rom different from the original the radio was perfectly functioning. I noticed also that by flashing roms with windows mobile 6.1 compiled 1,5 years ago the radio had no problem. I've noticed this problem 4/5 months ago and i've also asked to various cooks which was the problem, but the answer was always the same the they do not had tested it. I've noticed that by installing the "power radio" software the reception is lightly better. This program uses different drivers.
The problems i have are these:
1) By making a scan radio doen not found any station "No station found" is the answer
2) By changin step by step the frequency i can listen various station
3) RDS is functioning only after for 1 or 2 station and after 1 or 2 minutes of listening.
4) By changing the headphones with other ones the problems are exactly the same.
Now i've have a NGR rom. The last one cooked on the 4 of september 2010. The problems are exactly the same.

so did you find any solution for this or the problem stil persit .
Even iam the victim of this problem
No! I didn,t find a solution. I asked to a lot of cookers and they have been supposing the problem is due to the drivers.
You have to know that htc has developed proper radio fm drivers the cookers don't have.
So the problem is due to the flashing of a cooked rom different from the original one.
As in another post:
"Microsoft hasn't defined a tuner API for Windows Mobile platform (yet) and manufactures such as HTC do not publish their API for FM radio.
GFMAPI is an FM Radio interface that designed to be used on different models of Windows Mobile devices.
It makes all FM RDS based applications such as Radio players, Radio Alarm, TMC navigation works on different devices"
So the chipset of the blackstone radio FM is the "BRF6350 Chipset"
I hope the cookers will find a solution. I Doubt the problem is a hardware problem.
Just someone of you has to try the following: virginize the Htc Blackstone by installing the original rom and the original radio. The rom and radio when u bought the phone.
If the problem persists with the original rom is a hardware problem. So leave the phone to adjust by htc. Otherwise if it is functioning really well with the original htc rom, we could only hope the cookers will find a way to solve the problem in all the future rom.
i agree with you someone who has the original rom 6.1 has to try to find out if this is a hardware problem

Hi Maronna,
Your great , i just downloaded the Rom from HTC site .(Asia version dosent work so used US) This has Radio bundled in it .
Link
http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=698
The radio perfectly worked, so ideallys its a driver problem.
so we need to get our rom cookers to includde these drivers.
Thanks a lot .
So i was quite sure it was a driver problem. Generally hardware problems are different. For example: you are not able to listen to the radio fm any more.
I don't know why the cookers underevalue this big problem.
I discovered this problem for the first time with the IGO Navigator, becouse i tried to gain the TMC advices (of traffic) through the radio FM with a headphone wire. With the stock rom it was possible but with all the other ones not.
So i propose to all you to write to the cookers, NGR in particular (also if i've tried time ago), to try to solve the problem also if i doubt a solution will be found unless it will be possible to extract the API from the HTC roms... i think
Wow, that is weird!
I am using the NRG 8th of September rom and the radio works as expected.
I did not notice any difference from the stockrom
Can you try to flash the NRG rom again and check if it is still bad after the flash?
Also which HTC radio and rill are you using?
I'm on 1.17 and rill 1.15

Hi Pankajvg,
Sure but I always shorten ENERGY to NRG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562952
I use the GTX themed ones. They are really beautiful and the new versions are fast.
The download link is in post 2 on that first page.
And no I don't have the described problem with the radio that the thead starter and other have.
I still feel a bit uncomfy about the driver being the issue. Maybe affected users have a different model type. Do you actually have no reception at all ??
There are many variables that would be causing this but I have never actually used the standard HTC radio.
I use powerradio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531600
The radio and rom work perfectly, even being 10km up in the sky ;-)
I would also check the radio version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
The one I use is 1.17... which I find to work perfectly, nice clean GSM signal, almost instant GPS lock etc.
Let us all know your result so the rest can benefit of the result.
Hi Lukesan,
I have already tried with Power radio , but didnt help.
Iam downloading the NRG rom , will flash and update you shortly.

Tried the NRG rom with 1.17 Radio, but didnt help.
its the same issue.
IaM rolling back to different rom as this ROM has issue with Active syn.
Active sync fails for Exchange account which is very imprtant for my official mails.

Wow seems you have multiple issues.
I'm running that rom and have no issue with my exchange account or radio.
Any way to isolate the files needed for the fm radio from the original rom and incorperate them in another?
Also which original rom are you guys trying? Might be worth to try one from another country and check if yours might be different hardware.
The other question remains, no reception at all or just bad reception?
As described in my first post the problem is bad reception.
I've istalled GTX rom from NRG since 8th of september. I had been flashing at about 200 / 300 rom. I confirm to have the same problem with all the roms 6.5 6.5.x except for the original htc and some other roms with 6.1 by maryone, Luca Picci.
I've also flashed from the first to the last radio (reception) and relative dll. Same problem.
The only exception i had was with a Maryone rom 6.5.5
As I told before the absense of signal is a hardware problem. The bad reception not. The chipset receives the electrical impulses.
May be your blackstone is newer or older than ours and it could have another fm chipset inside. I never told radio was no functioning at all.
Bye
can we have some solution for this .
iam really helpless now.
hi..
I am using UltimateDroid rom from crawling city
and for some reason there is no radio application
I googled a bit and found that MIUI radio works with this build
but the problem that it has to turn on bluetooth
and no-sense roms usually has the BT drain issue
so the question is.. is there another radio apk that works without turning on BT?
just like the HTC radio for example?
thanks!
