Radio Roms for Polaris

Which Radio can I actually use with my Polaris, without (too many) problems.

I´m using v.1.64.08.21 long time and without problems... GPS is fast, internet connection and calls without problems, compatible with many WM 6.1 ROMs (Bepe, swtos, udk...)

Any of the murata Radio ROMs

1.58.25.14 Murata or 1.64.08.21
That's the question ...

1.58.25.14 Murata

Original HTC 1.64.08.21

i'm using 1.64.08.21 also and i'm satisfied with the reception and battery life, so ... recommended

I have been using 1.64.08.21 for some time and had no problems with it.
These days, i had to turn back to the original WWE and it came with the default radio 1.58.21.23.
After coming back to UDK's R5, i made some tests to compare these 2 radios.
I compared 2g and 3g signal, 2g and 3g consumption, and standby consuption.
For my surprise, all the values were 99 % the same.
The only difference (witch i noticed the first time i swithed radios) was the sattelite aquiring time, witch is lower on the newer radio(from 25-30 sec to 10-15 sec).
So if you don't use gps, there is no reason to switch to newer radios, because there is the chance that your device will not work with the 1.64.08.21 radio, and you will have to switch to murata.

Ok, I installed the 1.64.08.21 on Udk's r5 ... and I don t get a Connection to my net.. (gsm)

as i said, there are some devices that have different hardware.
On these devices, the latest radio doesn't work as it should.
I think you have to upgrade to murata radio
but before you do, you can try a few things: change network band, reset, manually connect to the network ...

I tried anything what you said... nothing... then "murata".. and...
and...
and...
full network...

I also tried 1.64.08.21 and some of the earlier ones - they never worked wven after trying Manual settings then I had to revert back to Murata Radio.
does this mean we have an older version of the machine ? That's not fair !!

i don't think it's a matter of new or old version, just the hardware it has.

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:

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 ...)

Isidar

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.

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.

how have you dumped radio rom??

Radio reception

Device: HTC Touch Cruise
I used the original 1.58.21.23 Radio and that worked perfect, goor reception. But I flashed to some newer radio's because I want to flash to a newer ROM.
1.59.42.15 Reception good, incoming calls, but no sounds both ways. (GPS ok)
1.59.42.23 Reception good, incoming calls, but no sounds both ways. (GPS ok)
I changed back to the 1.58.21.23 that worked fine before and now I can make calls again, but my reception is poor now! So is this radio not really the same even if the numbers are the same?
I'm using the Udk Diamond R8 ROM. Didn't change that..
Anyone?

Ok, temperary solution. The Murato 1.58.25.14 seems to be working fine.
Stil looking for a solution to use the 1.59.xx, because this is what we needs for flashing a new rom according to the cooker.

You need to flash new ROM 3.13 or 3.18 first in order to be able to use the new Radio 1.59.x.xx, not the other way 'round.

Ok, I was trying out some radio's first before the rom flash, so I knew for sure that that wasn't going to be a problem.
I flashed to a newer rom earlier while using the 1.58.21.23 radio, that didn't work offcourse.
But flashing the rom first is the only way to get the new radio's 1.59.xx working ok?
New rom + new radio and everything should be allright?
Thnx

This is correct!
3.13/3.18 ROM + Radio 1.59.xx OK
1.24-1.60 ROM + Radio 1.58.xx and inofficial 1.64.xx OK
Other combination is impossible...results in: No sound, no Camera (black), no data connection.
It doesn't matter, if the ROM is WM6.0 or WM6.1 at all.
It is e.g. possible to cook WM6.1 with 1.60 OEM or 3.13/3.18 OEM.
It's just a matter of OEM drivers used (see above)
Hope this helps

try to go to settings >> phone >> band >> and set the network type to GSM or CDMA depending on your provider. i had the same problem but after changing this i had a very good reception

Thnx, but I allready tried that, didn't make a difference, except for the decrease in internet speed from 3G to G.
Problem solved with murata radio.
Gr.

I suggest some moderator to put this on sticky and visible. Trying to improve the reception of my Polaris with Syrius r4 I almost went crazy. I didn't know about these combinations bellow and searching the forum I found the Murata Radio and then the 1.64.xx ROMs. After installing then I experienced No sound bug and I just made it work again after finding this message in the middle of this thread.
Anyway, tks now it's all working fine!

Try to first flash the official rom from the HTC site..without a SD card and simcard in your device.
After that you flash the C_shekhar rom.
And after that you flash the radio rom 1.58.32.33 from my package.
Than it should work fine again..if not your device isn't comming back to normal anymore i think..than you can better bring back your device to its original state and try to let HTC fix it.
Because the murata radio wil not work also.

In this case the person had locked HTC Polaris and he couldn't do unlock
Also it was figured out that to do downgrade is possible by flashing a specific radio version. But this is not so scary.
I want to extract only radio ROM, flashing him and check the quality of work in the 3G network and GPS, whether it is better or worse than 1.65.30.09 on the divices that are already unlocked...

whole
3g,gps,gsm quality high

Hi All
The 3rd day of a hard work including the 3G-network and so far everything is okay.
HTC Cruise became SIGNIFICANTLY economic with this radio.
In the navigation mode iGO8.3.4.142975 while using the phone (incoming and outcoming calls),
the internet and without putting it on the charger, HTC Cruise works about 3-4 hours
(comparing to 1-2 hours of radio 1.65.30.09).

is it on pola100 or pola200?

On both.
Difference between POLA 100 and POLA 200 is in little not important technical detail.
Pola100 is HTC Polaris
Pola200 is o2 XDA Orbit II.
You can flash ROMs made for the Cruise (pola 100) with no problems.

not so good..speaker ouput not so good. alot of noise. reverting back to .65.30.

You did hard reset after flashig new radio ROM?
It's strogly recommended to do!!
Most peoples reported good work in 3G and 2G network, without serious troubles.
And same significant saving battery power.

For me everything is working perfectly, signal is good. Flashed it with custom RUU over pcar extreme rom, without hard reset. I need time to see if battery life is better. Thanks for posting this radio!

Ok, but, for best results recommended make hard reset _after flashing radio ROM_1.65.38.14.
Especially if the previous version of the radio was 1.58, 1.59, 1,64.
Many times in this convinced.

i am using salvy's rom. hard reset. look the speaker volume back to normal again. thanks

Hi,
I have used this radio for the past few days. The battery life it seems is much lesser than 1.59.46.12 that I was using. It drains if you use WI-FI or GPS. Can anyone suggest radios which have proven battery life enhancement.

Hey guys ,
I reepacked the updater for the latest radio 1.65.38.14 (for me it seemed not to enter bootloader and crashed when i used the files attached before )
So now it is working properly !!! with good results ...
I also recomand the Megan ROM(salvy's rom) -- with the proper flashing procedure it is the fastest wm 6.5 i have seen yet (and not weird looking)!!!

Good work Rocket. The updated radio worked fine for me. Was facing the same issue.
Thanks guys both for original and update
