HTC Polaris ROMs without Radio? - Touch Cruise ROM Development

I am a little confused.
I have checked the ROM collection and noticed that most of the cooked ROMs are listed without Radio. Does this mean that the data in the PDA are not ovewritten when you update or that you need another cab to add the Radio? I also assume Radio is not the FM receiver but other functions like telephone.

The radiorom which you use stay put when you flash a rom without radio, so dont worry about it. The radio rom is for gsm/3G signal strength/wifi/gps?/ and another stuff IN the phone.

Thanks.
I have just bought the PDA as a replacement for my P3300 and have to learn a few things. And because of the high price I am very careful

That is right! be careful with what you doing, the polaris can be a very expensive brick

How to instal radio plugin?

Hello.
I want to install radio in my hima but i don't know how.
100% the same way as one flash the device with a new rom
just with a radio.nbf file in the dir with the flash tool rather then a
rom.nbf
if you dont have the flash tool all roms in the wm5 and wm6 forums for himalaya
include the flashtool and a step by step description how to flash
of cause if you dont want to flash the rom too
you need to remove the rom nbf
Thank you for your answer.
I have this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387451 but i don't find flash tool and my english is not so good,so please can you show me where i can find all what i need for doing that and where i find other rom for my husband hima.
I am a beginer but i have flashed my SPV 1000 yesterday.
Thank's.
Hello.
Nothing use radio?
Sorry but i'am a newbie and my english is bad.
I have flashed my hima with the rom up,i don't understand:
the radio is inside or i need to do another action?
If the radio is inside,how to use it?
Thank you.
if there were a radio nbf file then it was
and not sure if you are clear on what the radio is
the radio is the gsm radio which operate the phone part of the device
it's not an fm or am radio you can listen to

New oficial Radio...

Hi.
I post in a couple of threads but think may be is best to create a new one.
Got my Cruise for almost a week and notice that it comes with a new official Radio version that is not mentioned in this forum.
WM6
ROM 1.40.410.1 PTG
Radio 1.58.25.21
For me the device works perfect. No BT problems, no weird sounds, good quality pictures, camera ok, good network coverage, wi-fi, etc.
I'm looking for somebody that could explain me the complete process to dump the ROM and Radio and create the RUU_signed.nbh ready to flash like the cooked ROM's or Radios. I now there's a thread talking about this but is a bit confusing... 4 rar files, etc... my english is not the best.
If somebody want to help me, I could dump it and upload the Radio and ROM... maybe this could help somebody to solve some problems.
Thanks
1.58.25.21
but where is the download for it..?
There's no download for it. It's in my new Polaris and I want to dump the Radio and the ROM, but need a little help for an expert to do it, and after that, I'll be glad to share it with the comunity.
Isn't there already a topic for How to dump a rom???
But thanks for sharing..it sounds verry good.
Is the rom for the rest good working..fast and stable..because maybe you can make a whole pack of the rom and radio for us.
I will look for the topic for ripping the rom.
Here you can find what you need to dump and to rebuild a rom:

Thanks for the links Kajoe. Good luck with the dump Babaloo and for trying to get us another ROM.
Above two threads only dump OS ROM, without radio ROM.

I cant believe, but almost every user has to send the touch cruise to service. OMFG HTC WTF
broken camera and bluetooth
Hi ...
but is this one not the newest?
1.64.08.21
I thought that the .64. is newer that a lower number ...
and when do we get it - 'cause I have some problems sending sms (will open other thread as I do not find any answer ...)
ciao

1.64 is from other HTC phone with same radio hardware module ( I forget the type). But radio ROM should cowork with protocol version. Therefore 1.58.x is best for Polaris, please dump your radio ROM
Hi tswu8
tks for your answer, so the newest one for the Polaris should be the 1.58.26.20 is it correct?
To solve my problem I tried the 1.58.21.23 and it did not work while I was in USA, then I came back home in Spain and the only thing I did, was reputting the service center nr. by hand (but this I did it before too) AND I put the +34 in front of the 177 the voice mail number ... and IT WORKS NOW a very strange thing ...
another thing I do not understand, the newest Radio ROM for Polaris seems to be the 1.58.26.20 (it has the highest number) but in this post a colleague from PT says he has the newest, but it is a lower number ...
I really feel lost ... can you explain a bit more?
tks
Isidar
Radio 1.58.26.20 is from kaiser and should work on polaris like the two
1.64.XX.XX radios which are from kaiser aswell.

When someone dumps the 1.58.25.28, I'll give it a try.
So far the Polaris_Radio_Murata_1.58.25.14_sign_25.69.30.05 solved all my problems and have full coverage, wifi and gps even inside buildings..

Currently I use this version too (for WWE).
But before flash to WWE, original shipped radio ROM
1.58.25.21_sign_25.69.30.05 is better in usage as I remember.
Therefore, please dump radio and upload, guys~

if it helps the camera thing.. for some reason, i'd use it.
camera is slow..
but i didn't have to send it to service or anything..
besides the camera and the obvious lack of 3D drivers everything works GREAT
Hi
Sorry for my english, i´ll do my best.
Finaly y think that i've done a dump of my radio (1.58.25.21), but now i don´t know how to make it flaseable.
I've put the dumped files here: http://rapidshare.com/files/142624368/R_1.58.25.21_-_G_25.69.30.05H_-_D_1.30.00.00.rar.html
Is from a rom in spanish (1.30.412.1 ESN) but i think it doesn't matters.
I hope someone can do something with the files.
Saludos
how have you dumped radio rom??

Major problems with Radio need advice

Ok, I just picked up this phone and am having major problems with the Radio reception.
Peoples phone calls either go straight into my voicemail, or I receive the call put reception is broken, I can hear a word or two every few seconds, and the other person cannot hear anything.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, anyone using this phone in Canada or on Rogers can advise which radio rom to use? I have flashed at least 6 already, even the Murata one and still no success... any help or suggestions would be great.
Just flashed the original back WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe and its a tiny bit better, where it doesnt go straight to voice mail, but reception is horrid still, inaudible.
try flashing radio 1.59.44.02... then hard reset see if that helps
Hi Lokosis,
Your signature does not give an idea of which ROM you are using. However how's the reception on your other phone (elfin)? Are you using it on the same network? Since you have already used 1.59.44.02; try going back to 1.60 ROM and a Murata Radio.
Hi 02xda2, well I'm using the PDAVIET Rom, which is 3.18.457.46, which I thought I had in my signature. The reception on my Elfin is 100% and have never had a problem, but when using the same sim card in the Polaris I'm having those major issues. The Polaris is CID/SIM unlocked already using Oli's HardSPL. I'll try flashing the 1.60 right now with the Murata and reply with results.

That's actually the first Radio I had installed, and had no luck at all with it.
UPDATE #1: Just tried the with PDAVIET V30 CE OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0) along with the Murata 1.58.21.23 Radio, same problems as mentioned before. I'm also going through Settings>Phone>Band and changing it to GSM, but still the problems remain.. any suggestions?
UPDATE #2: I'v flashed the RUU_Polaris_HTC_RUS_1.25.411.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_polaris_murata_Ship.exe rom as suggested in another thread, and managed to get perfect sound received, and decent sent. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I managed to get the RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe which is the WWE counterpart to the RUS version, tried it with the stock Radio and no luck, flashed the Murato Radio onto the WWE and it was back to horrible.
UPDATE #3: So the only solution right now is the RUS rom, but I can't function with that as I don't read Russian. So running the HTC RUS update with radio, then flashing a new WWE rom without radio on top will work. Also atl4ntys's suggestions (below) most likely is worthy of a shot as well .
This phone being a bit aged and maybe out of warranty, how is HTC with their warranties/repairs?
hey Lokosis, have u tried c_shekhar's rom? its extremely stable, its wwe and also includes radio. u find the link in my signature. if the radio that comes with it doesn't do the job 4u then upgrade to the latest 1.58 available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479306
If still bad signal then the only thing I can say is to falsh the original spl rom and radio and send it in for repair.
PS: Make sure u flash without the micro sd card in it and hard reset as soon as u see the config screen after u flash. good luck!

how do i downgrade Polaris rom?

I have just got a polaris PDA having owned previous versions many for many years. i have incredibly poor reception on the phone indoors. to the point it cannot connect to the network at all.
if I go out side everyting is fine. I have tried other Sim cards with no success and other phones in the house are fine so not reception issues.
Reading through the forums I have seen talk about Radio Version 1.58.21.23 which is supposed to be really good for phones with this issue.
Here's the problem - i have ROM 3.13.206.0 WWE which I believe will only take 1.59.*.* Radio's.
how can I revert back to a previous Rom/driver set so that i can use this 1.58 radio?
will it do me any good or is there something else i can try, i have already been right up to Radio 1.65.30.09 from the forum.
any ideas?
thanks
you could install a cooked rom that uses 1.58 radio.
both of the shekhar roms use 1.58 radio and the radio is included in the download. you'll find them on the first page of the forum.
if you want to stick with original rom, then take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600 where there are a list of the original roms available.
if you've never flashed a cooked rom before or aren't sure how to go about it, the same post contains all the information you need.

Radio Question - HD2 Telstra T9193

Ok I looked a bit around and could not find a clear answer to my question so here it goes.
I have the HD2 Telstra T9193 and I want to update it with the best in Radio and ROM, so I started to look around for info, I read the:
FAQ FOR FLASHING HTC HD2 (LEO)
Graphical Questions & Answers: flashing ROM & HSPL
But now I have a question that came to my mind. I bought the T9193 because the frequency it uses is similar to what we use here in Brasil, diferent from the rest of the world, so installing a radio that works nice on most HD2 may cause problems with my T9193? I wonder that since the frequencies are diferent the radio might be not configured to use them, or perhaps this have nothing to do with the radio and will not make any diference.
What you think about this?
What radio should I install? Any suggestions?
How do I know wich radio is best for me? I should stay with the suggested radio for each rom or I can try with the latest and change it if I have problems?
Thank you very much for the help.
Felipe

Correct, radio has no effect on the frequencies.
Most people find 2.10.50. or higher work fine, with 2.11.50 and 2.15.50 seemingly most popular.
I'm using radio 2.14.50 on my T9193, works fine
BUT: please remember that one must 1st flash the radio ROM and then 2nd, flash the main ROM of your choice. If you flash the radio ROM 2nd (like a simple "update"), the various radio elements will do strange and annoying things
