Hey. I used to have xelecin's custom 2.26 ROM running with the 2.47 radio upgrade. I was having problems with it freezing sometimes, but my signal for phone calls was amazing. I recently upgraded to the latest official ROM on t-mobile's website and the same 2.47 radio upgrade. Now the phone is running better, but i have crappy signal. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Try out different Radio Roms until you find the one that works the best for you. I've tried a few and so far the 2.47 has worked the best for me and I have the T-mobile 2.26 Rom but a lot of people seem to think the 2.19 works better for them. There's plenty of different versions on here to try out.

Is the 2.19 radio version your talking about the UK one I've seen people writing about? If it is, does it work in the USA?

Yes. If you are on the Cingular network and you are using a custom ROM, the 2.19 radio is the best. In fact, on most custom ROMs, the 2.19 radio is the best choice. Usually the ROM cook will recommend a certain radio ROM in the ROM thread (normally in the first post).
I have a T-Mobile MDA G3 and I'm using the most up to date "official" ROM on the T-Mobile website (ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE).
2.19 will still work. just go to the top sticky in this forum and there are several different Radio Roms for you to chose from. If you try 2.19 and it happens not to work just pick another one to flash. Radio Roms flash easily and you don't lose any of the information on your phone.
Ok, I thought it as the top sticky in this forum. I think I've been spending way too much time in here lately. Anyway, they are around here somewhere but if for some reason you can't find them let me know and I'll up any of them you want to try. I have most of them.
Hi all, I've received a really deal good for a Softbank X01HT. I was wondering if like the other Hermes, the only difference in this unit is the button layout and OS language. If I upgrade to any other Hermes ROM will it function like a regular Hermes? Thank you for replies.
Yes, basically it will work as long as you have your device SIM / CID unlocked.
I say 'basically' because of I found some incompatibilities on my HERMES (a AT&T 8525). It does not accept the German T-Mobile ROM and also not the ORANGE CH. Other than that I did not get any problems.
You might wanna read the HERMES UPGRADE sections in the WIKI first? That should get you started!
Thanks for your quick reply Junner, I appreciate it
Another question has arisen; the unit I'm getting is in english language, so presumably a different ROM has been flashed to it. Does this mean that the phone is now SIM unlocked? Or does Softbank have english versions of their phones as well? Mine will be a white one, not sure when it was manufactured.
Hello,
If its already in English then chances are that it was flashed with a WM5 English ROM. If you're lucky, then the phone could be SIM unlocked, but ROMs can be flashed if the phone is Super CIDed... The white edition models were made after Softbank issued an update for all their phones..
My bet is that your phone is Super CIDed.. but heck, you'll never know these days, you could get lucky and have it SIM unlocked!
Softbank do have english versions of their phones, but the X01HT is just one of their exceptions...
I'm using the Black X01HT flashed with a WM6 Rom.. and its great! You won't be dissapointed!
Hey nesy, thanks for the heads up. I've got the phone in my hands, it works great. It's been flashed with some version of WM6, not sure which flavour. And it's goot IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.40.Olipro. My guess is that this was unlocked by imei-check, and it must be SuperCID too. Will be sure once I probe the internals with mtty. My only concern now is whether if I'm able to upgrade the radio, since I've read reports of some people being unable to flash over radio 1.14.something.
Is there really a downside to being stuck at radio 1.14 found in the Softbank phones? If so, what are they? Improved reception? stability?
well my softbank phone was at radio 1.14, I was able to upgrade it without any problems to 1.50.... you dont really have to upgrade, but I found that any version above 1.2 had better battery life...
I have a X01 that I just bought with a Chinese ROM (I am currently in China) and it was already unlocked. I had no problems putting an English Rom on. Be sure to change the keyboard layout to Japanese, I had mine set to Chinese for a while and 2 buttons were different.
Question: What are the advantages to upgrading the radio? Can anyone provide a link that explains how to upgrade / advantages to upgrading?

I also just upgraded to 1.41... I use the method that temporarily Super-Cids it. But dont ask me how that works because I have no idea.
Could you link me or PM me with how you did that? All the wikis stated that I can't upgrade the radio to anything else because of the bootloader. And I tried it too, the radio ROM gets flashed, but upon reboot, the same old version number is shown. Thanks in advance.

Hey dude, there are many advantages to upgrading the radio.. especially if you're still at 1.14... For instance, in Japan and China, the networks are UMTS here... although radio 1.14 gives satisfactory reception, higher versions improve this as well as enabling HSDPA (higher 3G download speeds) . The battery management is improved, and currently I'm using radio version 1.48 (1.50 was a battery sucker when using WM6)
you should read this before upgrading the radio:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
and read under 'Upgrading and Cooking'
and to flash the radio you HAVE to install Hard SPL.. this is a modified bootloader for the hermes.. and also it prevents it from bricking when you upgrade the ROM or radio.
Get it and the guide here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
Finally,
Go here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
and choose what Extracted Radio ROM that you want to install. Download it, run the EXE file and run through the program wizard.
After the radio has been uploaded to your device, it should reboot and you'll hopefully see some improvement!
Also another thing, be sure to search the forums, there are many great guides here, much better than my attempt
Hopefully that answers your question Pasan, you could try to do the method mentioned above by courtlandre which is to temporarily SuperCID it, but I didn't use that, i ended up unlocking my phone and SuperCID'ed it... so that my upgrade process will always be stress-free

I am using SPL 1.10 I think (wiki or a sticky will have instructions on how to install this).
Then I just downloaded the radio rom and installed it. Worked fine with no problems.
Thanks neshyd, I once tried upgrading to HardSPL 2.30 but it didn't work, upon reboot it was still on 1.40.olipro. This phone was unlocked by the imei-check people and they may have done something to prevent future SPL upgrades.

I guess you guys have older Softbanks, mine is a post April 07 model which does not allow the radio to be upgraded
I am currently running radio version 1.46.30.11. I have always had problems with calls not coming through to my phone or outgoing calls connecting and texts getting delayed, if I use another phone these problems disappear so I know its this handset.
I am wondering if upgrading the radio version would help? IO have had a search around on the trinity forums and there doesn't seem to be a lot of chat about it. How do I go about upgrading? Do I have to flash my phone with a ROM which has the newer radio contained?
Its originally an Orange SPV M700 which was running official ROMs until I took the plunge and put Mary on a few days ago but the problems still occur.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
normaly a radio upgrade is just like a normal upgrade
if the radio nbf is present it's inlcuded if not it's not
if the only nbf present is the radio one only the radio is upgraded
Do you think upgrading the radio ROM would help? Do you know where I can find just the radio ROM for version 1.50.08.11?
Thanks for the help.

Ok, I just picked up this phone and am having major problems with the Radio reception.
Peoples phone calls either go straight into my voicemail, or I receive the call put reception is broken, I can hear a word or two every few seconds, and the other person cannot hear anything.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, anyone using this phone in Canada or on Rogers can advise which radio rom to use? I have flashed at least 6 already, even the Murata one and still no success... any help or suggestions would be great.
Just flashed the original back WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe and its a tiny bit better, where it doesnt go straight to voice mail, but reception is horrid still, inaudible.
try flashing radio 1.59.44.02... then hard reset see if that helps
Hi Lokosis,
Your signature does not give an idea of which ROM you are using. However how's the reception on your other phone (elfin)? Are you using it on the same network? Since you have already used 1.59.44.02; try going back to 1.60 ROM and a Murata Radio.
Hi 02xda2, well I'm using the PDAVIET Rom, which is 3.18.457.46, which I thought I had in my signature. The reception on my Elfin is 100% and have never had a problem, but when using the same sim card in the Polaris I'm having those major issues. The Polaris is CID/SIM unlocked already using Oli's HardSPL. I'll try flashing the 1.60 right now with the Murata and reply with results.

That's actually the first Radio I had installed, and had no luck at all with it.
UPDATE #1: Just tried the with PDAVIET V30 CE OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0) along with the Murata 1.58.21.23 Radio, same problems as mentioned before. I'm also going through Settings>Phone>Band and changing it to GSM, but still the problems remain.. any suggestions?
UPDATE #2: I'v flashed the RUU_Polaris_HTC_RUS_1.25.411.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_polaris_murata_Ship.exe rom as suggested in another thread, and managed to get perfect sound received, and decent sent. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I managed to get the RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe which is the WWE counterpart to the RUS version, tried it with the stock Radio and no luck, flashed the Murato Radio onto the WWE and it was back to horrible.
UPDATE #3: So the only solution right now is the RUS rom, but I can't function with that as I don't read Russian. So running the HTC RUS update with radio, then flashing a new WWE rom without radio on top will work. Also atl4ntys's suggestions (below) most likely is worthy of a shot as well .
This phone being a bit aged and maybe out of warranty, how is HTC with their warranties/repairs?
hey Lokosis, have u tried c_shekhar's rom? its extremely stable, its wwe and also includes radio. u find the link in my signature. if the radio that comes with it doesn't do the job 4u then upgrade to the latest 1.58 available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479306
If still bad signal then the only thing I can say is to falsh the original spl rom and radio and send it in for repair.
PS: Make sure u flash without the micro sd card in it and hard reset as soon as u see the config screen after u flash. good luck!

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...

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.

Worked in 2G or 3G network?
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.
Regards,
Prem
now if I wanted to update the radio with android?

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
