Sorry, I have been searchin for an answer, but couldnt find any.
The question is, in som threads i see people mentioning radio and it's version.
What exactly do they mean and where do you get other versions?
Regards..
when people speak of the radio, they mean the driver on the telephone that operates the built-in GPRS Radio. This is the radio that allows the phone to connect to a mobile phone network so you can call. (and use data connections)
If a new version of the radio is released, it can be flashed on your phone, using RUU. Read the threads in the ROM Development forum. If you can't understand what's posted there, I advise you not to try it out. Just read the info that's there, get into it a bit and then start tinkering. If you then find yourself in trouble, you can always turn to us - being the other users who have tested and tried abovementioned methods.
Thank you for fast answer=). But, the radio can get improved with firmware? such as better signal strength? One more question, UC, what's UC? " UC Support " in roms?
Radio - yes, sometimes it can improve. After all that's the whole use of updates.
UC = User customization. It means you can specify which CAB files should be installed when you hard-reset or flash your phone. A ROM must be UC compatible for it to work. Search for User customization on XDA to find the original topic.

I want just the radio ROM, I get dropped calls a lot- but not just dropping, the antenna cuts out, and resets. I am running OS 2.24 and ROM 2.25 (I am using the custom version). Problem has been happening since 2.17 version, and having read though a few items, I thought i would try to run Radio ROM 1.08 or 1.09, seemed to solve a friends issue, but they don't have the ROM anymore. Anyone able to send it my way?
bump... anyone got anything for me?
First, this is a known issue (there is a thread 10 pages long about it) see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53432
Second, you can not use a 1.x Radio Rom with 2.x Bootloader and vice-versa.
Third, per the thread I referred you to the problem is not the Radio Rom but rather the connection method some programs (i.e. Agile Messenger & PocketWeater 1.3.x) use.
Please use the search function before starting a new thread about an existing issue.
Sorry thanks for the input! I normally browse over at Howard's Forums and this problem creeps up often with no fix- assumed those over there check over here since there are so many blank threads overthere with this issue.
Thanks again, I will make sure to refrence anyone from there to the thread you provided.
Thanks!
I have installed xplode WM6 latest ROM on my BA. I am continuously getting "Roaming Triangle" though I know I am in the no roam area. I used GetDeviceData.exe to extract device internal data and I find it shows AT%CID? and not my previous XGULA01 as Operator Id.
I believe this is one of the cause of getting continuously "Roaming Triangle".
Please suggest how to change it back to XGULA01 in ROM.
What other needs to be done to install this ROM with changed Operator ID?
Read about this earlier as related to WM6.
Do some search in other forums (not only BA), I read e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273385&highlight=Roaming+Triangle
Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion and reference, I had already searched the matter at many other places too and no one has a clue so far.
I was further researching and found that one of the possible causes is the Operator code that gets embedded into the ROM. I wanted some one to give me a correct method to change the Operator code of the ROM else I have a chance to loose my device.
Op code was needed for upgrading the old 2003 roms.
Here is a cut and paste out of wiki Ba for begginers.
Note : Because of historical reason you can read it. But there is a utility MApgradeUt_noid.exe we are using for flashing without the need of changing so Operator code etc.
When flashing WM6 roms you are not confronted with this issue.
Best stop is wiki.
Vodafone have just released the 1.66Rom to their locked/branded phones:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0#t=1
This isn't really news - there are already a couple of threads where this is being discussed
LOL someone posting without searching
to be fair I did search for "vodafone rom" and I saw nothing on the first set of threads that came up even those that were about 1.66 and today were all about hacked flashes.
no skin off my nose as my phone isn't even locked but I thought anyone who didn't know might benefit.
Don't be so quick to criticise!
Awesome! I don't care if this is old news, its new to me
Question, if my handset is already Vodafone uk, can I install this without doing the security thing (hspl?) ?
Also, will this upgrade my radio too, or would I do that with a separate radio ROM? And if so can you recommend a good one?

Yep you just connect your phone to windows mobile device center and run the file.
Not too clued up on the radio rom part..
Yes it will include rom, radio and progably spl too. No need for hspl, connect to PC, run teh exe, and dont forget to back up first!
thnx first time seeing it loool
will install now
No Joy for me just errors on connection after it resets your device to that stupid multi color screen.... Hmmm gonna try from my laptop might be this PC.
I have been working on cooking a ROM for my Tilt2 using the osKitchen. Everything is going swimmingly except for a couple of last things.
I am having some trouble with my phone connection and signal. The signal shows 5 bars and then then drops to 0 and stays that way for a while then jumps back to 5 bars. I have noticed this behavior no matter what the signal actually is. I may have messed up a setting but it seems like this all started happening when I tried to change out the rilphone.dll. Are there any things that I need to consider when using another rilphone.dll? I just grabbed the whole folder of the one that I wanted to use and replaced that in my OEM Driver folder. I am sure that I am using a TouchPro II rilphone.dll. I have tried three different ones from other stock roms and I know that they are radios that work on my device. Are there other files that I need to include? Or other settings that will affect performance?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
cj
See if this can help you:

re: rilphone.dll:
one way to implement would be to dump the rom that comes with the radio, grab rilphone.dll, insert into your rom, cook.
but that only works if you have the oem/rom/sys or if the rom is unprotected so you can dump/recook..
if the chef has patched nk.exe in your rom to skip security checks, you can simply copy rilphone.dll to device as rilphone2.dll
or similar, and change the registry to point to that, soft reset.. if rom is not cert patched it won't load without proper signatures.
if i recall there's a program in development and hacking forum that will allow you to open any nbh, and extract/inject single files..
with that program you can simply extract desired rilphone.dll, inject into desired target rom prior to flashing.. no need to worry about
signatures as rom files are always trusted. that way is probably easiest
apologies for poor formatting, etc.

I appreciate the reply. That link had some good info and Da_Gs quote was definitely great information.
Unfortunately, I am not having trouble getting the dll. I have several that I have pulled from stock ROMS that will all work in my Kitchen. The problem is that they don't seem to work completely. I can make and receive some calls but the signal and radio are very inconsistent.
After some more testing I can report that it is definitely the rilphone.dll. When I switched back the dll folder from my stock ROM all is well. There must be something else that I am not considering.
Thanks again,

Hi CJ,
Although swapping around the RILPHONE.DLL usually provides functionality, keep in mind that each carrier compiles their own version for their Radio Stack. So in short, the RILPHONE.DLL is generally intended to work with a specific Radio Stack ... it's one of the reasons you'll often see the Radio & RILPHONE.DLL as one package.
HTH,
Thanks HTH,
I did try to flash the appropriate radio with each rilphone.dll which I assume is what you mean by Radio Stack. Sorry to be so noobish on this. I will keep trying. Maybe I did change an important setting. It has been known to happen.
Thanks again,
cj
Correct.
For example, if you look at the Raphael ROM Development forum Radio thread, you will notice that the poster(s) always include the RILPHONE.DLL with the RADIO.NBH file.
Cheers,
Solved!
Ok. so the answer is that I coked in a package called GSM_RSSI. Not really sure what this package does but it seems that it is only found in the ATT Tilt2 Dump. When I disabled that package then the newer dll's work great.
credit arruppenthal. Thanks for the help.

That package provides ATT functionality and the 5 signal bar graphic. It reads right from rilphone. If you enable it with another ril youll get flashing or no signal bars. If you use the ATT rilphone you get 5 signal bars. If you use custom top bar graphics it will override other dll files. Be sure you remove the corresponding reg keys in oemoperator or you develop other issues.
Hello mates,
I updated my i-mate Jasjar to WM6.1 ROM by Ranju and a few others. The update is successful and everything works fine but my cellular connection just doesn't work. My sim card (smartchip) is not detected. Ranju's ROM doesn't let me open the communication manager. Another ROM stays forever on flight mode and I can't even change it.
I live in India just for the record if the Smartchips in India might make a difference. I'm totally clueless on what to do.
Couldn't find any post relevant to this.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Aditya More.
my bet would be a radio rom incompatibility, but im not sure.
what radio are you using? it seems that higher wm6 builds require certain radios or something.
no clue what a radio is..
Radio rom. It's part of uni software that is responsible for gsm module (and everything related). You can flash your radio rom the same way you flash any rom. Just use flashing software (ROMUpgradeUT). Though you will need radio_.nbf instead of nk.nbf when flashing radio.
Thanks a ton for that information. I'm pretty new with this.
So well, which radio should I use for my i-mate jasjar? Where can I download it?
Is there like a setup file for radio flashing? Using ROMUpgradeUT would be a little difficult for me. Do I have to flash this file in bootloader mode?
Thanks,
Aditya More.
Download radio here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio/
Personally I would recommend 1.18.00. I'm using this one currently, and is working just fine. Though, you can just experiment a little with different radio roms, and find which one is working best with your device.
Actually ROMUpgradeUT IS something like a setup to flash your device, and there is no easier way to flash device. Only thing you need is to place ROMUpgradeUT somewhere along with radio_.nbf and run ROMUpgradeUT.
Anyway just read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade ,and there should not be any problems for you (at least with flashing).
Also, make sure to spend some time reading universal wiki, if you are new for Windows Mobile and uni.
It's working guys.
@cheapusenet: if it weren't for you, I'd have been still stuck with the bootloader screen. Thanks a ton. I really really appreciate your help man. Really. Thanks for the radio info too.
@Kalgon5: The radio info was very useful. wiki Universal is my homepage. I go through it every single day. But just didn't any clue about radio and flashing. Pretty new. Anyway, thanks a lot. Really appreciate your help.
@Luca: the ROM rules. Very fast, awesome applications, good battery life. Thanks.
