Sorry, I couldn't find any help via the search function.
What exactly does the radio version tell? Some roms released here are giving the rom version and a radio version? I can't image that this is the version of the radio application at all, isn't it?
Best regards

So, after some researches, am I right that radio version is a bunch of drivers responsible for all communication hardware like gsm, gps, wifi, bluetooth, etc.?

Hi!
Got a question regarding the Radio Stacks. I am using an XDAI from O2 Germany, which has the latest Radio Stack released by O2 themselves, which is 4.21. During more or less aimless surfing sessions in the undocumented backwaters of the Internet (dyndns sites :roll I found Radio Stack updates with non-linear version numbering which are not ActiveSync updates but install directly from the device.
- What is the difference (except the installation mechanism)? Are those safe to use or am I bound to screw up my phone using those?
- Why is the version numbering different? After my 4.21 the site lists A20.10, 6.24.20 and 6.25.24 as available. Which one is the most recent for my PW10A1? The 6.25.24? Or can/should I use the A20.10?
The reason I am considering the upgrade at all is that I get weird "clicks" and connections losses during conersation, especially after the first few minutes of conversation. To me and the other side it sounds as if I was temporarily driving through a tunnel or something, the connections keeps up but no speech is transmitted. And all that while the signal meter gives me 70-80%.
Or could it be a problem that I am using my O2 XDA with a T-Mobile prepaid card? I always considered GSM to be pretty generic. GPRS etc. is not in use on the device.
Any input? If this questions has been asked before, please be so kind and point me to the corresponding thread, I couldn't locate it with the search function.
The 6.xx Radio Versions are for PW10B models (900/1900 MHZ networks)
The 4.xx Radio Versions are for PW10A models (900/1800 MHZ networks)
The A.xx Radio Versions could be for for any of them.....
Flashing the wron version could end your device as a paperweight.....

Are you sure you have a PW10A model? Check the rear sticker of this device. Normally ends flashing the wrong Radio stack in GSM Error.
In the wiki is a howto about this....

hi, Stefan
Yes i am sure that the model name is PW10A1, and could you please help me about it

Hello,
I have a Qtek 2020i which has an english ROM (the details are at the bottom).
This was bought in Portugal.
Where can I find compatible ROM, Radio, Protocol and ExtRom upgrades?
Thx
JM
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped.rar
with Radio versoin 1.04
Hello,
How do you know it is compatible with Portugal's mobile operators?
Does this upgrade include the Protocol version 1337.42?
Where can I find the changes between my current version and this one?
Something like a ChangeLog (if you know the terminology).
Thx
JM
Essential, each of the devices from different suppliers is the same, apart from maybe the casing.
The operator settings are stored in the extended rom (search the forum for instructuions on how to access this), and these are what you are likely to need to get it working properly.
Hello all,
Please can someone point me in the direction of some info on radio ROMs.
I have a French HTC 3600 which I would like to re-flash using an English WM6 ROM.
Someone has reccomended this one by ADW:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335321
Download the ROM with Radio:
http://rapidshare.com/files/60678608...incl_RADIO.rar
My question is; do I need a particular version for it to work correctly in France or is it a case of re-flashing the handset and then just inputting all of the connection details to get it up and working?
Thank you in advance,
Ollie
If you are looking for radio roms, look here

what is the radio roms for?
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?

My version of protocol is : 25.65.30.04H
Where can i get the new versions of radio and/or protocol? And how to install it, keeping the bepe rom?
Thanks in advance

Make a backup before flash, or search xda for a utility that prevent you from
a hard reset ....
Thank you very much !
But will it erase and replace my actual rom (bepe WM6.1 WWE_1.28.405.1), or simply update radio version and protocol version?
Because I want to keep my actual rom that i like very much and simply update radio and protocol versions.
Thanks in advance !
PS: And finally, how can i install swtos file? By executing what file in the rar archive? ROM.exe?
Sorry, I am a beginner with Windows Mobile and don't want to make errors ^^
Only update radio version and protocol version!

That's what I want to do, but how can I do it? By executing what files, selecting what options? I'm a beginner with PDAphones, sorry
Is it the file ROM.exe? No matter if my rom is french and the file german? Thanks again
I would not recommend you to update your Radio to a test version. The test Radio is flawed and you will have problems with Bluetooth. It doesnt offer any (significant?) advantages at all, I would keep your current Radio which is stable and works.

Suddenly my FM Radio isn't able to receive any station and the bluetooth refuses to start. I'm going back to the 21.23 radio to see if I can solve it. I tried 2 different cooked ROM (bepe's 0.58 and swtos' BlackWidow latest ROM) and it reamains the same...
Wah!!! I thought that I had the necessary files to reflash 1.58.21.23, but they were from another model! (Kaiser). Now I'm not able to find where this version is available to download. Everybody seems to have the 25.14.
Does anybody know where to download the original radio ROM version?? Thanks a lot!

I'll see in a while whether it solves my BT and FM Radio issue or not. It appears that this is a recurrent problem since I have seen some people having it. I don't know if it is because of the OS ROM or because of the Radio ROM.
It didn't work. It appears that my BT and FM Radio died. HELP! I don't know the reason and what it even more strange it that it suddenly stopped working without making any change.

I think you have a defective device.
GSM Radio has nothing to do with FM Radio .... I have change many times
my GSM radio without any problem.
You have to return your TC for service ....

This is exactly what other users reported, after flashing 1.58.25.14. Some users (including) myself got it back working after flashing the original Radio, some - obviously like you - never got their Bluetooth running again. They reported "Hardware error" when trying to switch it on.
I guess it's time to send your Polaris in for repairs...
