Difference between ROM and Radio - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hello,
I actually want to know one thing. What is the difference between ROM and RADIO version?
Can you please help me out with it? Is it possible that RADIO version will effect on some functionality of device? Like if the radio is old it will be disturbing the user?
Thank you very much.

Search, search, search!!!
Everything is explained in the forums and wiki.
The whole ROM is divided on three parts: OS, Radio and extROM. Now, OS (well you know, operating system), Radio ROM is where you have GSM (if you fry this say goodbuy to your device), Radio ROMs differ for the various part of the world, meaning that a Radio that works well in one part of Europe will not work so good on other countries (search the forum and wiki which Radio will be best for your country), and finaly extROM is part where operators put their **** on the device.
Cheers

Sir,
I was asking this information because I have the same problem as : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543905
I am not able to find where the exact problem is. That was the reason I thought, it might help to upgrade the ROM or Radio version in order to solve this problem.
Before Yesterday it showed, 20% battery left and I got low battery notification. But after 24 hours. Today also the phone is still on and battery is on 20%.
Help please...
Thank you very much.
FAISAL!

Newer does not necessary mean better. You can always check both versions and than decide which one suits you.
Cheers
P.S. Don't forget to do HardSPL before you change the Radio.

Radio problems

Hi there,
Ever since I started upgrading my Qtek S200, it got reception problems. Incoming calls would occasionally directly go to voicemail while reception is full. I tried different roms. 2.20.21, 2.30.21, 2.47.11 etc. Wouldn't matter. I recently installed the latest full 2.20.7.34 WWE ROM, same problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I unfortunately got no useful help on previous posts about this issue.)
Regards.
???
Kind of frustrating that alot of people here supposedly have so much technical knowledge about these phones, but no one seems to be able to be of any help...
Could some one please be of any help regarding my previous described problem?
Thanks.
hi, the reason for this problem, seems to be the new radio rom.
go and get older radio rom from wiki page ...
or u just search in this forum and u will find a thread about this radio rom, and see many other ppls got the same problem and try to slove this....
mfg s0urce
thanks
Thank you for your reply.
I tried mostly all different roms, just like I said.
I tried searching, but to me it's a maze.

Go to the XDA ftp site and look for the Prophet "Radio ROM" alone to "downgrade" your current version. Look for version 2.2.21 or less. I've heard that the problems have been with the higher number ROMs. It is worth a try.

Just a quick point about radios.
I am actualy glad to see this post. With the recent release of devices & inter-compatibility of radio firmware, it is good to see that all's not taken for granted.
Just one point. Do NOT expect the radios from the new devices to work. Even units with really similar HW. MSM7200A device such as Diamond/Touch Pro radios are NOT compatible. If you try & flash one of those radios, your device is dead, completely dead, unless you can Jtag & have the equipment.
Stay with radios you know are compatible. The newer radios are about 3mb larger & will brick your device. Kaiser/Polaris are okay.

It doesn't flash , flashing hang at 5% then the device restart. I used Customruu1.2 for polaris , not the one that came with the radio image that is intended for kaiser.
Fortunately it doesn't damage the previous radio image and the device is OK.
I think this radio is intended for kaiser only or must be modified / hexedited to flash to polaris ...

Welcome to the exciting world of Polaris!!
One rom you should take a look at is the one you mention in your post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459826
It comes in a variety of flavours from Full through to Naked, so hopefully you'll find a mix that suits your needs. I think the latest official radio version is 1.59.44.02, but there are some later unofficial/unreleased radios that are as good if not better (I'm using 1.65.30.09 which has been great).
Most people do not report any differences with battery usage with the cooked roms or unofficial radio versions, in fact some of the later radio versions seem a bit lighter on the battery.
I'm tipping that you know about the hard-spl stuff, but if you're not sure there is an excellent thread in the Polaris wiki if you want to double check.
Hi,
I did the same some months ago and use C Shekar's' ROM "a" but am going to try his new ROM "b" today.
The Polaris is faster, but my Artemis was very very good (I kept it as a spare) with a cooked ROM.
Battery worse with the Polaris, but I do leave the bluetooth on.
Let's see how you get on.

[Help] Update recomendation on xda exec

Hi there!
Today I've bought an xda exec with the following specs:
Rom: 1.13.82 WWE
Radio: 1.04.02
RAM: 64MB
What is the recommended update to the ROM and Radio I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

That's an old O2 ROM. The latest (last!) original XDA EXEC ROM from O2 can be found here.
Then there's an ocean of home-cooked ROMs, mostly WM6.x (you gain A2DP and other features but lose on video calling).

Welcome to Uni forum (gosh, I sound just like Orb2000 now ) Actually, make it ORB3000!!!! There, much better!
While we cannot recommend a particular ROM and Radio combination, your device comes with standard features, so pretty much anything that takes your fancy and is suitable for your device in this section would be perfect for the taking. The first thing you should do is read the Wiki, it contains loads of necessary information to help you identify your device and its features for the upgrade purposes and avoid any mistakes or pitfalls. Then you can familiarize yourself with available ROMs and read user opinions and feedback on their performance and features. Generally the best performers will be found on top of the WM6.1 upgrade section marked as a Sticky. Finally, once you get to know all you need and are ready to upgrade, you will be able to try some out and select the one that has the best combination of features FOR YOU. As far as Radio is concerned, there is no fast and steady rule for a perfect combo, some developers will recommend the Radio to be used with their ROM, some users will suggest what works for them, you can always try various versions (ftp server is your friend) and see which will work best for you.
Best of luck. Enjoy!
Thanks!
I've already read lot's of information on wiki for universal...
Already unlocked the "sim lock" and just updated the radio to the last one (1.18.00). Before the universal, I had an Magician (still have it, and working great with the WM 6.1 by cotulla).
I've read about the G3 and bootloader, but didn't understand how to update the bootloader (my universal have 1.00 version)... What is that for?
Also, I will try the WM6.5 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529951 because read 'bout that and like it... just one question.. it the 6.1 better than the 6.5? If I change the rom to 6.5 can I change back to any other, inclusive the 6.1 rom?
Thanks!

Yes, sweetie, I know, I made myself sound like some improved, but not perfect model of you, you know - 'better than orb1000, but still not quite the orb3000'!!! My apologies. The only explanation I can offer is tiredness and late hour of my posting. Will amend my post now.

6.1 ROMs are more developed and used, therefore will be more stable and practical in everyday usage. Another thing is available resources, e.g. 6.5 ROMs tend to be on resource-hungry side, therefore those of us with standard 64Mb machines will not get as much free RAM or speed in some cases available to run our favorite programs as those with devices upgraded to 128Mb. You can try 6.5, of course, just note the above points. And of course you will be able to downgrade to other 6.1 or shipped ROMs.
