Does upgrading radio clear all device data? - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Apologies for the stupid question. I know that upgrading the OS ROM clears the unit, but I was under the impression that upgrading the Radio does not. However the installation program ("RomUpDateUtility") says that continuing will result in all system data being lost.

I upgraded radio ROM 2x and data was not lost....

Do not worry
Only Rom flash deletes datas, hard-spl and radio rom flash does not. (but I suggest, use the custom RUU by UDK)

When I flashed my (1.58.25.14) all data was lost and I ended up with a clean device. Just like after hard reset..

I didn't. Thanks for the hint fktsndr! Will try to use this custom RUU next time I decide to upgrade Radio

Even a complete overwrite seems to leave things like manual roaming settings on the SIM card

Of course.
Sim card and storage card are not part of the device.
Romflashing will update only the device.

Radio upgrade
No data will be lost if you upgrade radio rom.
Just do a soft reset after the upgrade and everything will be OK.

Radio Problem !!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
i am having a frustrating problrems with my p3600
- the phone is not working ! it show that there is no singal and i can't get to the phone seetings
- i tried hard reset / soft reset / upgraded to wm6 , no difference
- tried to flash the radio , but it stops at 0% , and after one hour , it is still 0%?
please help!
Try updating to WM6 with this package:
Apoc said:
jesus, use this: http://rapidshare.com/files/2987211...y_WM6_v2.0.0.4_incl_HSPL___Radio1.41.0.11.exe
created a self-extracting archive so that you only need windows to do the upgrade(no 7zip or winrar), it should extract to a temporary folder and execute the updater, it will flash the hardspl, radio 1.41.0.11, and lsvw's 2.0.0.4.

Like it says, it's a total upgrade package which will also upgrade the radio, using harspl, so CID shouldn't be a problem...
Just connect to ActiveSync (preferably as a guest) and start the .exe you've just downloaded. It'll push SSPL by Des (modified bootloader) to the phone, execute it and start updating.
Let me know if this worked...
Did the upgrade and still not working ......
?
Time for a warranty repair!
Your symptoms stongly suggest a hardware fault with the Qualcomm radio chip.
Updating to the WM6 ROM's doesn't update the Radio, so you could try flashing just a Radio ROM (though by your 1st post you've already tried that?)
The instructions for LSVW and Mun-rus both state that the radio should be updated prior to applying the WM6 ROM itself.

But did the whole upgrade process finish all well...? Is radio 1.41 installed now?
It's a bummer you still have problems, but just exclaming it's not working doesn't really help... Can you be a bit more specific please???
What went well, and what didn't, and what is the exact problem that has risen or didn't get solved? Did you get any specific error-messages? Are you in a good-coverage area? Etc,etc...

Ah- missed the significance of that one! Thanks
Problem is that this topic is split in 2 forums, so some info not consistent- his answers in the other thread stongly suggest hardware failure.
Hello,
thank you for answering
i did try all the updates in this forum , SAME PROBLEM !
when i press the green button nothing happins , when i go to Phone nothing happiens , when i go to phone settings , also nothing happiens
it used to work before , but it used to disconnect every hour or two , then it stopped working
is the device coverd by warranty in the U.S ? i bought it from eBay less than three months ago
I've no idea if it is likely to be covered- was it a new device, fully boxed?
If so, there should be an international warranty card inside, but I don't know HTC's policy on coverage in USA.
HTC's USA Home Page doesn't mention this model at all.

I have tried this but I cant get it to flash. I am already SPL'd. It goes into bootloader ok, then waits forever till it gives up and says connection error. I also tried disconnecting/reconnecting the usb cable when in bootloader (like the SPL procedure) to no avail. Any ideas?
How can i see which radio ROM is on my device pls ?

I've forget a (important) detail. You've to manually put your device in bootloader mode (by pressing the camera button and push and do a soft reset).
As soon as you see the colored bootloader image, release the stylus from the soft reset hole. then release the camera button. Your device will stay in bootloader mode.
Run the ROMUpdateutility.exe (of course, your device must be connected to your PC ;-) )

Put your device into bootloader mode first, then double click on the exe.

This has worked fine... thanks matey
Yes well, I didn't put mine into bootloader mode first (cause I did it before this thread said to do that) and it failed at 99% and went though the HTC recovery instructions! Thankfully though it went through the 2nd time having launched from the bootloader.
Everything is working fine... any chance that something has got screwed up though?
Hi,
Can I have some infos on this new rom ?
What are the changes ?
Thx
Did the radio change will effect also my ROM ?
I want my rom to be left unchanged.
Also, what are the advantadges of this radio version ?

1) Radio and O/S ROM's here may be flashed separately, so flashing this radio will not affect your current operating ROM, just update your radio ROM
2) I've just upgraded to radio 1.58.21.54 from 1.58.21.23. Everything works OK, I feel the WLAN is more efficient but too early to say what real differences may be
3) Instead of Async, I just use a FAT32 1Gb card with the *.nbh file on it with device in Bootloader mode
Is there any soulution to remove "Test Only Not For Sale" (Radio: 1.58.25.14), when the device starting?

Another question: Can I use SpbBackup to restore all my data after the radio update ? I know that I can't do it with rom update, but what about radio update ?
i don't know about using backup software, but i performed the radio update today, and none of the installed programs and my configuration was changed. everything worked as if nothing was done at all.

1) I hope you have first flashed Olipro's HardSPL version2 (only needed once but first) !! Then you can update/regress ROM's as you wish
2) Using Spb Backup after ROM flashing (either radio or O/S) works ok. It does not backup the actual ROM, but rather the directories in root, registry, PIM databases etc ... this backup is something I do after major changes like ROM upgrades anyway

Flashing question

So I have read the wiki and didn't find an answer to my question.
So with this whole retarded need with the TyTN needing to reflash the operator rom every time you want to flash another rom to prevent this hard reset thing I have run into twice in a week, do I need to worry about the sim lock being reinstated? Or is that going to be left unlocked?
Once SIM unlocked, always unlocked, period. At least with my Cingular 8525 and I've flashed it dozens of times

That is exactly what I have. I just had to make sure it was the same like with my wizard. Thanks!
You don't NEED to reflash a stock rom but its a precaution people tend to take. I usually chance it but sometimes need to reflash stock too...
Cheers...

Its been guessed that its because of the way the extended rom space is being "abused". And "refreshing" the memory space with a stock rom flash helps stability.
I flash this rom which is the AT&T rom with no radio, so you dont have to keep redoing the riskier radio flash.
(never had a hard reset with this method)

Was it haykuro's SPL? Can you get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?
if it's haykuro's spl...
Hopefully, you READ & FOLLOWED the directions and flashed the RADIO first, then flashed the SPL. If you did not, then your phone is bricked.
if u cn get into recovery reflash ur rom. and like everyone else says hope u flashed the radio 1st
I did the radio first
I was able to boot into recovery, i tried a wipe and a few things but couldnt get it.
Eventually I got it by reflashing cyanogenmod.

This may sound like a silly question but please forgive me as I have not yet flashed the haykuro spl.
Once you've flashed the new spl, instead of flashing the update.zip of the cyanogen rom, can't you use nandroid restore? Or will that restore the previous spl as well (in my case HARD SPL)?
I ask because I would like to try the spl, but I'm so comfortable with my rom and settings that I would hate to wipe just to try Hero which is still in development. Call me crazy, but I like stable and finished builds. But I am curious and with a lot of time on my hands but not so much that I'm willing to lose everything just to try something that I'm not going to keep.

I'm not actually sure about using nandroid after the SPL flash, but I'm certain that nandroid doesn't copy your SPL (I could be wrong). It would make sense for it to work.

[Need Help]ROMs won't boot after initial setup

I hope someone here can help me to make my LEO work again.
Im having huge problems with my HD2 after flashing a ROM with Extendir. While setting up the device with Preset Installer my PDA went to deep sleep and failed installing all cabs.
After reboot it hung on the screen where Radio Version etc. is shown. That is why i made another Hard Reset. That let my phone boot again but after initial setup it hangs again at that place.
I tried another ROM and experienced the same problem. After that i went back to shiped with spl and radio. Not even that fixed the problem.
I tried MTTY with task 29 and reflash stock. It stays the same! After initial setup my phone sometimes hangs before or after boot animation. sometimes it boots till sense is started and hangs there.
Does anyone have a smart idea how i can make my leo run propper again?
Thanks for help.
edit: im not sure if its Extendir. It could be something else, too. I tried flashing via usb and storage card.

to assess that rom V.0.8 it has rom 2.0x base
radio 2,08 to enable 576 MB
the rom that it uses, it could not be compatible with the version radius
try to chnge a version radio or try to change version rom
if you use radio 2.08 from rom 2.07,try to flash rom cooked with 576 Mb enable
sorry for my poor english,i'm Italian
Sorry mate
the problem is other
I have since the rom of bob qualified V.08 is for 576 mb
You tried booting up with the SD card taken out of the device?
WB
You need to have a radio that supports the 576 mb. But I don't think this is your problem. It sound like to me your storage card is the problem. If you have another storage card format it to FAT 32 and try again. I bet your problem is solved. Also Don't use a 16gb card until you know for sure it is working. Even then there are problem with some people using them.
I dont have a Storage Card inserted now. Still the same problem
Btw. Using Laurentius V1.2 now. Same error here. i try to flash a lower Radio now.
As i said before i flashed stock 1.66 via storage card with radio and spl and still had the same Problem.

Everything flashes as usual. HSPL, Radio and ROMs. The software just isnt running stable after flash.
If it would be a Radio/SPL/ROM problem the stock rom should fix it.
Not wanting to be the one to say it but maybe your device is defective or damaged. Or maybe the problem was caused ny the failure going to sleep, but I don't think so. I have accidentally unplugged mine before during flash and still got it back. If you reflash the ROM it should work again. If you don't have any luck I would flash back to the Stock ROM and take it in for repair.
To bad noone can help. I will do some research and if i have no success i will send it back.
Some weeks of waiting

Yes there have been many. There have been some in my threads. There is also a thread posted here with lots of discussions and it was determined the the lock ups and freezes with Manila 19222911 was the 16gb cards. It seems there was only one ROM that did not have the problem and unfortunately this cook doesn't share with others.
im making improvements. after flashing stock i found out that i can change more and more settings and install programs without the need to hard reset. when i damage the filesystem with a program or setting i hardreset the device. after restart i can install that program without problems and can try another one.
seems that my device is repairing magically

I guess I don't understand. You have to have a working ROM to install a program? For a stock ROM you should not have to install anything. It either works or it doesn't.
