Question about the radio-only upgrades...

Hi all,
I currently have the HTC Tytn with the original ROM on it. I'm on Cingular's network, and am having the problem where the call either gets dropped completely or temporarily when the phone tries to "hand off" 3G to 2G. Are any of the radio-only upgrades that are on the ftp supposed to address this issue? I'm not looking to change the ROM. I'm currently on radio verion 1.03
Thanks in advance!

I have a TyTn on Cingular as well. I upgraded to 1.20 radio ROM and haven't experienced any problems you're having moving to/from 3G areas.

Hi sf,
Thanks for the reply... are you also still on the original Tytn ROM as well? (for everything else but the radio...)

yes, i'm on the original HTC ROM, just upgraded the radio.

The best combination is the original HTC ROM + 1.16 RadioROM from what I have heard around ..

Great, thanks a ton guys. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm having much better battery performance with the HTC ROM and the 1.20 radio than I did with the 1.16 radio.

Goesto11, did you have any installation problems during or after the install with the 1.20 radio? I read a couple other posts where some additional tweaks needed to be made afterwards, but I'm thinking now that that was with the Cingular ROM.
Thanks,
SP

1.20 Radio was actually from the latest iMate ROM from what I remember .. might want to verify ..
latest Cingular RadioROM was 1.16 ..

Thanks GJ.

Nope, no installation problems at all (follow the directions and you should be fine).

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded, but I haven't driven through any of the troubled areas yet. I guess we'll see on the drive home.

I'll install it today and report on it asap. A particular area that I go through on the way home from work attempts the hand off a good 80% of the time.

Oh yeah, one more (stupid) question...
If I install the 1.20 radio, then later end up doing a hard reset... after the hard-reset, will I end up with the original HTC radio, or the updated one?

Good question .. You will then always have an updated RadioROM .. even after a hard reset

Ok cool, thanks. I'm glad it was a relatively not-too-stupid question

Yeah, I did this yesterday. Your updated Radio ROM sticks with the device.
But what about installing an entirely new ROM; this overwrites the radio ROM right?

Yes, this is correct. A "normal/standard" ROM update will overwrite the System ROM, the Extended ROM, and the Radio ROM.

I can't seem to dowload a good file to unzip. It says "not a valid pocketpc app".

The ROM updates need to be run from a WinXP PC with an ActiveSync/USB connection to the Hermes...
and remember, Flashing can be a dangerous business, even if you know what you're doing... use at your own risk!

Thanks Mr.pof
but now link not work
Pls fix link..!

Tnx .... at last I have radio update ... wonder how it compares with older one .... signal quality perhaps.

when i want to update the radio rom my htp p3300 dutch version starts up again and the connection is lost. Then i get the message on the pc screen that the update is failed because of an connection problem (error 260). When my device is back online the collored screen (red green blue) is shown with a usb connection. The only thing i can do now is a soft reset
what goes wrong?
please help me to update!
tnx PvdH

Radio 02.93.90
Does anyone of you know whether the problems of not being reachable on the T-Mobile NL network is solved by performing this Radio upgrade?

Thanks for this Pof, I was disappointed that I wouldn't be getting the radio update with the WM6 update you released recently.... Glad to see there's work happening on the Artemis specifically at last!

Apologies if I sound noobish....
What advantages does this radio stack version have over the previous?
Better reception?
Battery efficiency?
UTMS?
other GSM bands ?
CDMA?
Please advise

If you update the radio, will you loose all the things/settings stored on your device?

Well I just gave it a try, and everything that's stored on the device was still there.

thanks, pof ! You're great !
I'm really curious if this will fix the "echo effect" problem. (Somebody calls me, I hear him perfectly but he only heares his own voice, echoed). This happens only from time to time, most of the calls are ok.
thanks again,
stefan

tnx pof,
finaly updated my p3300 with this radio update.

First thoughts about the new radio (2.93.90):
1) Battery seems to last longer
2) My problem with "echoed phone calls" seems to be fixed.
I will keep an eye on these and I will update you, guys.
Thanks for your work, pof.

Probably better reception and battery efficiency.
No chance of UTMS or CDMA, this is a hardware, not firmware, limitation.
The P3300 is a quad band device, are there any additional bands in conventional GSM? Keep in mind UTMS is a hardware thing so the bands for 3G are not pertinent.

Yes I have some problem of battery with this ROM
My phone run less than one day.
Sorry for my bad english.

YUP i got the same problem, plus spme other softwares get into discordance for some reason. I hope V2 will fix all of'em.

Why does every time i try to update. The phone goes to black screen and disconect itself from the pc ( i have vista so windows mobile center.) instead as active sync.
Is that the reason or ??

Thanks Meschle, It is installed and appears all well and good.

Thanks for the link, can you please give me some other mirror. Megaupload is not suitable for me - thanks for that. Can anyone confirm for me that it's working? I really don't wanna have a brick

If you got SPL 1.11, USPL isn't needed anymore, am i right? I just updated, without running USPL
Okay, it's better do it instead of bricking.... ...Cheers....

Your right peter if people still are cid unlocked after uspl unlocking - i.e. there spl is still 1.11.0000 they dont need to run it again. Its just a good rule especially for noobs.

Changes?
Thanks for new radio, but i have one question. Is it needed to repeat install every new GSM radio? I have now 2.97.90...What are the benefits and differences?

plz another link to download trouble with megaupload

In theory newer gsm radio has better battery life and reception - on testing all good at the moment.
I'll upload to rapidshare too.

THANK YOU
meschle MERCI it ' s good radio...

Thanks, just download it and will test it ...

Thanks Mark
Cheers!

Only for artemis mate

I flashed my Artemis. Lets hope for a better battery life

XtR3m3R i didn't do test but i found my battery life more longer ,also my proc is overclocked to 247Mhz ,hope same thing for you

Will I have to backup my device prior to upgrading the radio, or will my info etc still be in place?

in place, ive done radio rom upgrades a dozern times and never lost data yet.
although I have problems with this rom. infact any radio above 02.94.90.
I have a T-Mobile MDA III in the UK. Any rom over 02.94.90 constantly says I am roaming and causes push mail and some others to stop. Contacted T-Mob, replaced sim, hard reset etc and the only thing that stopped it was to downgrade the radio rom.

Is this could be Olinex version problem?

Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?

I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks

Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance

My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1

I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks

Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.

Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks

I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks

Problem updating radio (Help plz!)

Hi guys, this is my first post, I'll be quick.
3 months ago i got from my brother, a really nice and shiny HTC WIZARD G3 (from T-Mobile)
my bro has flashed the phone before, with a WM5 custom ROM from Tau-Rho and i have flashed the 6.5 ROM MEGAWIZARD on it, and some time later the 6.5.0 from MSD (Estrange thing: Although, i have flashed the WM Rom, the first Screen that the phone presents when we turned it on is the same than in the old WM5 rom)
Everything was working great, except for one little thing, the reception of signal on the phone was too poor, with any of the 3 roms. then i decide to test another RADIO ROM on the Wiza.
I have downloaded few RADIO_ONLY roms but i can only use the 1.x.x.x Versions. with V2.x.x.x Roms the phone just froze my wiza in boot
I have tested this radio roms:
2.17----------DON'T WORK
2.19----------DON'T WORK
2.21----------DON'T WORK
2.24----------DON'T WORK

T-Mobile-US_2.24.10----------DON'T WORK
Xda-Minis_2.21.4----------DON'T WORK
I Take some screens but XDA don't let me show them..
When my cell phone boot with a working Radio Rom show this on boot:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.01
GSM: 1.13.10.0
OS: 6.5.0.0
When it boot with a NOT WORKING Radio Rom Show this on boot screen:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.01
OS: 6.5.0.0
and it just restart the phone after that and restart and restart and restart.
i can go back to a working radio rom, flashing it trough the BOOOTLOADER, but i need to install a newer Radio rom. My Bro told me than i should to get back to the T-Mobile WM5 Original rom to instal a newer RadioRom, i have not attempted that method yet.
Any idea to make my Wiza to boot with a newer Radio rom?
PD: Whats the difference between a .NBF and a .NBA radio rom? i have installed .nbf radio roms only.
Thank you all for your support!
