Hi, what would be the best radio for my new SPV C500?
And one more question (because i am unsure: is C500 a Typhoon or a Feeler)?
SPV c500 = Typhoon
SPV C500 is Typhoon
Thanks... and what radio would you consider best?
..I guess the latest one is version 1337.0.42_0.03.28
...but I am wondering if the SPL and GSM version which I found for Tornado (HTC_Tornado_Radio_02.61.01) can fit into Typhoon ? As for the hardware, these are quite similar devices, arent they?
2.5.2008
...aah, now I see Tornado's hardware is different from the Feeler's, so no question - it will definetly not fit.
But does anybody know about a newer radio version than 1337.0.42_0.03.28 for Feeler / Amadeus / Typhoon?
The relation radio rom - ril (radio interface layer) depends on what OS you are using. There are some issues with the wm5, wm6 and wm6.1 roms.
The SIM card also changes the quality depending of the radio rom - ril.
One suggestion is to ask the operator to change the SIM card, specially if you have a 64k sim.

I had before the wm2003se working on my cell phone, but after upgrading to wm6 I experienced many problems. I downgrade to wm2003se and everything was ok again... I upgrade again to wm6 and the problems were back. So I asked my operator to change the sim card and everything was solved. Before asking the operator I flashed different roms, changed many registry entries but nothing worked. So I hope it can help...

Hey guys,
Newbie here
I have a himalya(XDAII)
Rom Vers. 1.66.00 WWE
Radio 1.10.00
I want 2 know whether i should upgrade to WM5 or not
I mean is it really worth it or not
Can any one help and guide me step by step
[/b]
...
Yes you can. Read on http://buzzdev.net more about. But the upgrade to WM5 is quiet difficult to a newbie. Read carefuly about DOC_Tools,RAMdisk,Memory organisation etc. While in 2003(se)ROM image is everything already prepared,in WM5 you need to install some features additionaly. I am ready to help you with upgrade. Just ask.
I'm about to do the same thing. I have two units to try it on. One is 1.66wwe, 1.10 radio and the other 1.72wwe and 1.14 radio. Should I use one of these units for WM2005 over the other or does it matter?
...
You can use the Radio stack with WM5. But if you've got a Wallaby device(is in your profile Rustyrake),that is no WM5 ROM released. 1.66wwe and 1.72wwe are WM2003 ROMs. The latest ROM release of WM5 is 1.60c(and its RAMdisk variations). Most recommended radio for this ROM is 1.08.
I need to warn of few problems in this upgrade:
1. Activesync must be at least v4.0 and for USB connection is needed SP2(for XP).
2. I have still problems with radio and phone. (But other people didn't complain).
3. The speed of this system is a little bit lower than 2003(se).
4. Some of the software must be in latest version for WM5 support.
5. IA Camera interface is a history(pity). It is available only built-in Microsoft camera interface without any adjustments and functions.

Hi There, Wondering if any of you have done a comprehensive comparison between the 2 ROMS to share with the rest. From my understanding, the newest ROM for imate is as follows (Both WWE ROMS) (If i'm not mistaken) :-
imate Jamin WWE - Released 08 April 2006
OS ROM : 2.13.9.23
EXTRom : 2.13.9.123
Radio ROM : 02.20.21
QTEK Jamin WWE - Released 29 Mar 2006
OS ROM : 2.9.7.24
EXTRom : 2.9.7.126
Radio ROM : 02.07.20
I've not tried the newest Jamin ROM and whatever comparison you guys have done, it'd be great to know of your experiences.
I've tried the previous imate ROM and i've found the QTEK ROM quicker than the imate one. QTEK ROM has less add-on software like skype etc., but other than that, i'm not sure how else we can compare it. Can anyone else who has tried both shed some light on this topic? Is the new imate ROM better than the previous? Thanks!
This would also interest me so much. From what i've heard so far is that the qtek s200 rom is faster than imate rom. Could somebody pleas give us more details on this and maybe, why.
thanks.

I've actually tried both. It is somewhat true. QTEK ROM is zippier. However, i found that memory leaks were more rampant on the QTEK ROM. imate is a little more stable IMO. I'm not sure why. I'm currently using the latest i-mate ROM and because its released later, somehow it 'feels' better. I bypassed the software i did not want though (skype, backgammon etc.)
Any other thoughts?
True
I tried both the Qtek and the Jammin rom. I also found that the Qtek was faster however, the memory leak situation was worse than the Jammin.
I do have one problem however. I have a 2 --> 1 sim card adapter and on the original ROM I was able to use it fine, but I have been having problems with the Newer Roms. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is my adapter shot?
Cheers.

Can anyone help me? I'd like to downgrade the Radio version on my P3300. Due to a bluetooth problem in WM6 see thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353071, my carkit won't recognise my connection on the Artemis.
Maybe, by downgrading the Radio version to a WM5 version, I'd might solve the problem?!
Is there someone out there who can provide me a 'old' version?
Fred
Older radio-versions can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades (listed from oldest to newest). Radio 02.98.90 works fine for me, I had some issues with 03.07.90 on battery use. You can just try it out, doesnt need a hard reset.
what are the radio upgrades good for anyways? i still dont know it.

Like in a Desktop PC you can run different Versions of OSs (Windows XP\Vista, Linux, Mac) and still change Firmware Versions of Hardware Components (Disk Drive, WLAN Chip, Soundcard) indipendently.
The Radio ROM Only affects the Radio Unit of a device, maybe affecting the battery duration time or increasing Call Quality or whatever has to do with the radio part of a phone. However it is independend from the OS.
if i try one of those radio upgrades, would it affect (for example) the SDHC patch i installed on my phone (P3300 wm6)?
any info page/link on what exactly each release of radio upgrades improves, and a how-to to install it?

Please know anybody, have upgrade of GSM any influence on FM radio and GPS? I think that after upgrade i lost any radiostations. Is it possible?
Hi guys,
I have upgraded succesfully my QTek 9090 BA to WM6 following the wiki, have some issues with WiFi and would like to upgrade my ROM...I guess...I'm new on this PDA world so still confused with terms.
I'm following the Wiki and got stuck here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...0.ROMx20.thatx20.willx20.workx20.forx20.mex3f.
My Device ID returns only:
P H 2 0 B W W E AT%CID? 5 . 6 0 . 0 0 1.12.00 % 4
So for what I understand:
MOdel PH20B
Lang: WWE (English)
Operator: AT%CID?
Rom Version: 5.60.00
Extended Rom version: 1.12.00
Radio Version: 4
Is this correct?
If so, I don't understand if this: BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe would be good for me...
Can you please help?
Thanks!
The Devicedata file was need in the old days (WM2003).
Now on WM6 (and WM5) the file does not matter or make much sence.
BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe
This is a 2003 rom with the rom vesion of 1.22 (making it old even for WM2003 as 1.4 was the last I can remember), the Radio is 1.602 (which is even older than your 1.12 (1.15 is the current one))
Best bet for you is the WM6 rom and up your radio to 1.15 (wiki will tell you how).
Hope that helps
Hi! and really thanks! It confuses me how 1.6 can be older than 1.15...?? Anyway, I updated to Radio rom 1.15, however reading more I found that it has nothing to do with WiFi...
Now, I seems to be understanding more and more about the Roms, extendend roms and radio roms with TypeI and II.
I have been looking at the FTP site and what I still need to understand is what Rom to use...how do you difference those codes? I'm using rar 20226...is this ok? Any newer ROM or more stable?
And what defines the WiFi driver? The ROM itself? I have the problem that my WiFi signal is very poor...
Thanks again
There are a few thiings that are wrong with the BA as it is end of life and if it was not for XDA-Devlopers it would be dead.
Wifi has its issues there is a work around and that has something to do with the way you start it. (to be honest I can't remember what you have to do but search will help)
Bluetooth is the other know issue, if you don't want to make friends then the best way to do this is post a "My Bluetooth does not work thread". That a low post count will get you flammed at big time.
The Type I and type II roms were based on the format of the roms and the tools we used about 3 years ago. Some smart guy worked out you could bypass this whole porcess (the checking of the country code) by using a flash program form some other HTC device.
So by the time WM5 came out then the "on id exe" solved that issue and we have been using it ever since.
The radio you talking about is 1.06, if you want to look at some of the roms we had found and posted on the FTP (unitll M$ got us to close it) then try this link.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
Extra rom was a carrier based issue (wiki has a whole section on it) however WM5 and WM6 did not use the same system so the space was reused for the rom (is one of the steps in the upgrade process).
As for the best rom, this is up to you.
Xplode used be active and now its Sun_dream.
Both of these guys know there stuff and have my Full respect.
Have fun
Hi there,
I'm searching for this radio rom. It should be the original one used in dopod p860. As I already found out the hardware is different to original polaris devices. So maybe this is the reason why no radio rom from this forum works without problems. Is there anyone who is able to help me?
me t00
tell me your reason
Please tell me why you are searching for this rom. Same reason like me?
I want to run the DOPOD with a different rom but always have low GSM response.
me, too!
It is China Mobile's original Radio. (That device is named Dopod P860 China Mobile Edition).
It doesn't have WIFI module and 3G support.
I need it to fix my signal problem.
