Hi
I installed the modaco radio rom on my phone and it suggested that the install went fine and rebooted atleast twice. However I am a bit lost as i cannot see any radio widget or program. Apologies for looking stupid here but how do i use the radio? Clearly, it should have installed a new widget, shouldn't it or am i missing something here?
regards
Yes you are . Radio is your gsm radio. The software that regulates the recepion of your phone.

Thanks for correcting!

Anyone know if there is potential brick-danger in changing a radio rom? I currently run the Cingular 2.25.0001 .. and was wondering if the T-mobile 2.19 was better and if it was safe to replace my G4 8125's radio rom with the T-mobile one..
Thanks

I had i scary moment in my first flashing days when i tried a radio only updater that didn't work and i lost the ability to connect to active sync. I then discovered phones could be flashed from boot loader and fixed it with a full official ROM.
But the answer is NO, a radio upgrade does not brick the phone and you can upgrade just the radio (gsm_data zone) by using an updater made for that purpose.
The question is: is the file well made? are the addresses correct?
Two choices:
Make your own radio updater. Easy these days with all the tools and info
Get an updater from a reliable source or from places with positive feedback by other members. I believe there is a thread for that in 'Wizard Upgrading' section
Hope it's clear, good luck.
cheers
Yea I flashed it to T-mobil radio 2.19 .. worked flawlessly.. i havent run into any problems flashing ANYTHING yet.. I think i am getting lucky.

I'm out of my depth and an need of some help to get my X7500 back into working order !
I upgraded my machine to AP4, carefully following the nicely documented instructions, and it worked a treat. The new interface looked great. However, for some reason my GPS application (i-GO Europe) wouldn't work at all. After searching the threads and not finding anything there, I thought it would be best to return to my old ROM version - the official HTC Advantage WM6 Upgrade. Naively I thought that this would be just as simple as running the Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship executable - but I was wrong ! The update failed, and now I am left with a PPC with a pretty three colour screen...
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100 MFG
SPL-v3.50. OliNex
Is there any way that I can recover my device from this state ?
You have spl3.5
very easy to solve
just plug your athena to the PC and install a rom for SPL3.5 , there are several good ones, since AP4 didn't work for you and I cannot remember if AP4 can be installer from boot loader, the easy thing should be install the latest Michiprima rom (SPL3.5 not 1.20)
if you wish to install a original rom in the future remember to use spl downgrader to go back to SPL1.20
As always take memory cards from the device before playing and please read

Just reflash with a MICHY rom,any will do, but if you want to go back to SPL 1.2 then use THIS
However try Michy's latest r6.0 it is very good

Thanks very much for your advice !
I thought I had to have an ActiveSync connection to load a new ROM onto my device. But you were right - very easy to solve.

Tried the Michy R6.0 and it does look good. Still having problems with my GPS application though, so might have to go back to the original. Will play around with this one in the meantime.
Thanks for taking the time to make your suggestion.

In regard to the GPS have you upgraded your radio version above 1.5
Radio 1.57
or
Radio 1.58

Unfortunately not !
I ended up loading AP3, and my GPS application worked on that. Now I've gone back to the official WM6 ROM. When I have some time, I might reload the AP4 ROM and try the new versions of the radio - but I need a stable device at the moment.
Thanks again
i just remembered
i just remembered you have to disable htc home in AP4 for igo to work
Just load michys large htc home cab instead
god, got to love the community spirit
Up and Running

> ROM Version: AP 4.0 Platinum
> ROM Date: 11/09/07
> Radio Version: 1.58.00.00
> Protocol Version: 32.91.70.20.20H
Just an update for those interested. I'm now running AP4 with i-GO happily running away. Not sure I needed to update the Radio version, but you were right - I had to turn off the HTC HOME in Today.
Thanks for the help from those more experienced. It was greatfully received and, although I haven't had time to really use the upgraded device in anger yet, I am currently very happy with it.
Just one last thing. Have you got a link for the said 'michys large htc home cab', as that would be the icing on the cake to have that lovely Home available.
Thanks very much !

Hi friends,
I purchased an unlocked version of GSM Touch Diamond from newegg.com while I was in US. I realised later that I could not find any FM radio in it. How do I know if its just hidden (though that would be absurd) or not present at all ? How can I get it, if it can be done (and I would assume a rom update) ?
Secondly, I installed the latest version of GSen, got it to be run at startup and when I rebooted my phone, it said that GSen would not start bcos of some damn error. I had to uninstall. Any ideas how I can get around this ?
My rom version is 1.93
Thanks,
Kunal

In order to 'unlock'the FM radio you need to replace your ROM with a cooked ROM that has it built in. There is no way to enable it without doing so. Also GSen is an old program and I never had much luck with it. I would recommend Gyrator2 as it is a much more stable and gives more options for customization. Hope it helps!! Both of these answers could be found in the xda forums with just a little bit of searching...
I was able to get the FM Radio without replacing my original ROM by downloading the radio cab file from this post -

This could probably help others like me.

OK i have the Touch P3050 from Telus. Ive been reading all over that the GPS is locked with the original ROM, i have been playing around with it for a while and installed TOM TOM 7 and the gps is working fine. I updated the rom also from the update from HTC website witch gets it to WM6.1. Also wondering if this what opens the gps. Also i have updated the radio to 3.42.50 could this also be why the gps is open.
The second part to this is after testing this out i have installed NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM. My question is that before installing this rom the phone connection says its EV on the top line and after installing this rom it says 3G. Can someone clarify this for my as to why this is and how come it wasn't before.

First question: Yup, any radio upgrade over 3.xx.xx will unlock the GPS.
Second question: EVdO is, afaik, 3G. It is just a matter of the icon

Thanks for the reply. Kinda answered my questions, but the radios were allways 3.xx.xx so it must be because of the higher radio, and what does afaik mean?

afaik = as far as I know
If you were always above 3.xx.xx, your GPS wa always unlocked. Maybe you didn't have the correct settings one.
I have NAND Android installed on this phone and I'd like to update the phone to the latest version. But I am not sure which one as some of them works OK, while other doesn't work very well.
My HTC HD2 comes with the following info:
R - 2.07.51.22.2
G - 15.32.50.07U
D - 1.66.76641
Which version of radio should I go with? I am looking for one that has a *very* good 3G connection speed.
Thanks,
Out of all of the radio versions available, IMO the best is 2.15.50.
You can find it here
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
People have reported that supposedly 2.14.00 gives better battery life but I didn't find this to be the case.
Depends on location and network Im afraid....
I could be wrong but I didnt think that the Radio you mentioned would allow you to run android from NAND.....
Either way... the popular ones are between 2.08.50.xx - 2.15.50.xx
The one I use is in my signature and gives me pretty good 3G reception...
Trial and error though Im afraid.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I am from UK and I'm using the T-Mobile network.

That doesn't really matter, all of the good Android radios (2.12.50 and above) will work fine with you, you can either use the one I recommended, or trial and error the other 3.
Thanks all, am currently testing 2.15.50.14
