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.

As I am reading through the posts in this website I realize that I am not as technical as I would like. I am trying to simply make my Mogul more responsive and functional. I would like to be able to use the GPS with Google Maps, once this feature is available, and obviously I would like everything to look cool.
I currently have the following installed:
ROM Version 2.17.651.0
Radio Version 1.47.01
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
Opera Mobile
Can anyone offer assistance on what I should do/add next?
the first thing id do is upgrade your radio and get on one of DCD's roms. instant GPS. winmo 6.1 also makes your phone much faster. umm ditch SPB, it slows everything down like crazy and pick up HTC home and HTC home customizer. make sure you have the newest opera, not the beta, its much better. thats what i got for you so far, if i think of anything else ill let you know
In general I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure I understand how. Where would one go to upgrade the radio and get a dcd rom?

follow the directions here (follow them in order and you'll be ok)
you can get the latest DCD rom here

(just a note to you. these roms that people are making take a lot of hard work and time, and all of the GPS roms are based of a leaked test rom(it's not official from sprint or whom ever your carrier is) so there are bugs and they are working hard to fix the issues. most likely if you have a problem it's been had before so search through the threads for the answer)
ok so let me make sure I understand...
I do these things in this order?:
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. Radio 3.27
3. DCD ROM 2.2.6
Is this correct?
Also, will I be able to load other software on top of this ROM?
Also, what is the difference in a ROM and a Kitchen?

switch the radio and the rom placement
(this supposedly helps keep your information intact so you don't have to call your provider and get the Akey)
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. DCD ROM 2.2.6
3. Radio 3.27
you will be able to put programs on top of this rom
a kitchen lets you customize the rom before you flash it to your phone

Problems upgrading should be posted under the Titan Upgrading forum. You will get a much quicker response, also you will see this has been a common issue that is resolved in several posts. Use forum search.
Thanks

Hi.

Thanks a lot
I have been trying 2 research the same thing. I have flashed a new ROM. but have no clue on how to install a new Radio, or even where to get them... is there a list and tuts anywhere on how/what to install?
Bee searching with no luck, though I did find a Radio that CR86 had a link to on his Touch HD v2.6 rom though have no idea on how to proceed to install the Radio, so I have my default one on my Wizard atm.

thanks for the info cooper_xda, made things easier, but I'm learning alot about the software side of these devices lately
LAYMAN TERMS.
Radio : phone's communication software to your network/carrier
ROM : Phone's UI Software.
Or, something like that.
correct if wrong.
And to update both radio and rom, you have to flash it, nbh files is avail at htc upgrading forum.
pretty much got it right lol
radio controls all gsm and 3g functions (calls internet etc)
rom is basically windows mobile and all OEM software
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...
It has been mentioned over at the Modaco Forums that for AT&T Nexus one users the 3g reception is better if downgrading radio from shipped version EPE54B to ERE27 Radio. I want to try this but before I do I want to know that since I installed the latest Cyanogen Rom with gapps for EPE54B will the apps no longer work when I flash my radio to ERE27? Thanks in advance.
I find it strange that the ERE27 radio would be better for ATT 3G... but i you want to try that, go ahead and flash the radio via fastboot... no available ROM or firmware is tied to a radio version for the N1 and it won't disturb ur apps or settings...
craig thanks for the quick response, I find it strange too but take a look at the thread
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...exus-one-downgraded-radio-improved-reception/
it seems that a lot of people are having success with this. Another question if it doesnt matter what apps you have etc then why does cyanogen list the gapps for the different radio versions?
Well, with each new iteration of the official [leaked] firmwares, the cooks incorporate the updated Google Apps software and some firmware modules from within that ROM. So for a particular cooked ROM release, a specific Google Apps pack would work optimally with it. The radio on the other hand is simply the latest available at the time the ROM was released...
OK, thanks to everyone here I finally flashed my HD2 and I liked it a lot. I tried the Energy Rom and Core Cell Rom and they both worked great and have there advantages. But I have a new question now. I want to change my phone back to stock, which stock rom should I download? And is the installlation process the same as flashing the phone with a custom rom?
hmmm...
im assumin you have a tmous HD2. if so you can find the original tmobile rom on their website. just search for hd2 software update on the search portion. same as here, you can find it. just gotta look and not ask a question when you can find it yourself. also i think this question doesnt belong under this thread mayb under HD2 general..
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml thats helpful... use it to flash back..
ok, thanks for the help. but i have a question and something else as well. I clicked on the link and read over everything it says:
NOTE: The software update is only designed to update the ROM version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1. If at any point the software was changed from 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 by flashing to unsupported software, sometimes called rooting or hacking, then we strongly recommend you do not perform this update, as it was not designed to update unsupported software.
It seems like their saying don't use this update if I flashed another rom besides the stock rom which it came with. So exactly what do I do from here? Not trying to sound slow or anything, but I want to becareful with these things. And besides I don't have a spare phone to use and would hate to brick this one up. Any help is appreciated.
I got my TMOUS HD2 yesterday and to go around customs, I asked if the seller could flash there nonbootable ROM, which I made (HTC Oboe XIP and no IMGFS to be sure it wouldn't boot ). When it arrived, I just flashed the 3.14 ROM without single errors and keeping HSPL2.
Do it, there won't be problems .
this thread came in time. today i got a message from tmobile indicating that there is a new update available. i wanna give it a shot and if i don't like it then I'm going to upgrade to the cell core v3 since i've been using v2 for a while
