Hi,
I got my brothers Touch HD which ive in the past flashed endless times for him with various 6.5 roms, decided to flash it back to a stock rom to give to the wife as a temporary upgrade, it appears that the wifi is borked, i think its probably due to the change in the radio as it was 1.17 or whatever, any ideas if i can get it back, i did flash it with a generic htc 6.1 rom rather than the orange one (downloading that now) which had a 1.13 radio i think

Did you also install the matching rillphone.dll?
You can always go back to radio 1.17 (with rillphone 1.14), because radio and rom aren't related.

Hi all,
I currently have the HTC Tytn with the original ROM on it. I'm on Cingular's network, and am having the problem where the call either gets dropped completely or temporarily when the phone tries to "hand off" 3G to 2G. Are any of the radio-only upgrades that are on the ftp supposed to address this issue? I'm not looking to change the ROM. I'm currently on radio verion 1.03
Thanks in advance!

I have a TyTn on Cingular as well. I upgraded to 1.20 radio ROM and haven't experienced any problems you're having moving to/from 3G areas.
Hi sf,
Thanks for the reply... are you also still on the original Tytn ROM as well? (for everything else but the radio...)
yes, i'm on the original HTC ROM, just upgraded the radio.
The best combination is the original HTC ROM + 1.16 RadioROM from what I have heard around ..
Great, thanks a ton guys. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm having much better battery performance with the HTC ROM and the 1.20 radio than I did with the 1.16 radio.
Goesto11, did you have any installation problems during or after the install with the 1.20 radio? I read a couple other posts where some additional tweaks needed to be made afterwards, but I'm thinking now that that was with the Cingular ROM.
Thanks,
SP
1.20 Radio was actually from the latest iMate ROM from what I remember .. might want to verify ..
latest Cingular RadioROM was 1.16 ..
Thanks GJ.

Nope, no installation problems at all (follow the directions and you should be fine).

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded, but I haven't driven through any of the troubled areas yet. I guess we'll see on the drive home.
I'll install it today and report on it asap. A particular area that I go through on the way home from work attempts the hand off a good 80% of the time.
Oh yeah, one more (stupid) question...
If I install the 1.20 radio, then later end up doing a hard reset... after the hard-reset, will I end up with the original HTC radio, or the updated one?
Good question .. You will then always have an updated RadioROM .. even after a hard reset
Ok cool, thanks. I'm glad it was a relatively not-too-stupid question

Yeah, I did this yesterday. Your updated Radio ROM sticks with the device.
But what about installing an entirely new ROM; this overwrites the radio ROM right?

Yes, this is correct. A "normal/standard" ROM update will overwrite the System ROM, the Extended ROM, and the Radio ROM.
I can't seem to dowload a good file to unzip. It says "not a valid pocketpc app".
The ROM updates need to be run from a WinXP PC with an ActiveSync/USB connection to the Hermes...
and remember, Flashing can be a dangerous business, even if you know what you're doing... use at your own risk!
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!
I have had 1.56 for a week now, and out of the blue the HD won't stop vibrating... Removing the battery is the only way!
Have OliNex Hard SPL on it also...
If I put battery back in, it vibrates immediately, so clearly not O/S related!
Has anyone else had this issue with that rom/spl on an orange hd?
I do want to also update the replacement as the on screen keyboard is miles better (less typos!) than with the 1.14 Orange rom...
Please comment!
Thanks
You're not alone...been there. About a week or two after I received mine, I had the exact same problem. Just out of the blue. No matter what I did, the only way to get it to stop was to pull the battery. As soon as I put it back in, it would start vibrating again. I spent a day researching the issue and as it turned out this has happened to other devices, not exlusively to the HD or HTC devices. Everywhere I looked the answer was essentially: "the phone was defective return it". I tried a different battery, hardreset etc., but to no avail. I ended up returning it and getting a replacement two days later.
So did you do any ROM updates, or was that with the factory rom?
I've got the orange HD.
No Orange ROM update to match the one from HTC
so I put OliNex 1.14 on it.
Tried duttys V3.3 and it messed up the colours and was really slow an unrepsonsive.
Then put on the official 1.56 version, colours still messed up
Put 1.14 back and its all fine???
Have orange put something nasty on the phone?

no whats happened is
when 1.56 roms came out it needed a newer spl version so it buts it on the phone for you
this newer spl contains diferent display files that make your colour go all nasty
heres what to do
flash spl 1.56 from olipro or olinex
then you can flash a newr rom like duttys
but then you cant flash back to an older rom without flashing an old spl version
that will take some reading

At the time it was the factory rom...1.56 had not come out yet. From my perch, I don't think it's due to any rom. To my knowledge, at least for me, the vibrate motor went bad.
Thanks, thats what I thought...
Still you may want to flash back the original Orange ROM just to make sure they don't reject your warranty.
hi people
i got my brand new HD2 unlocked a few days ago and it shipped with 1.43 ROM.
It was freezing occasionaly and so i thought a ROM upgrade would help.
i downloaded TMOUS 2.02 ROM and did a HSPL and then flashed my device with it.
now after flashing the phone works fine but i am getting three lines horizontally written accross the screen saying "HTC CONFIDENTIAL" and the other two lines are my IMEI number and anotherr number starting with HTC.
please help me because these lines are simply not going
i know i am a newbie
but i would really appreciate some help

The TMOUS 2.02 ROM is a test ROM so the "HTC CONFIDENTIAL" is there because of that. The 2.02 ROM dosnt handle a soft reset either. I recomend that you change to another ROM. Its not suited for everyday use.
I am a tourist too, but you are really an expert ...
Why the hack you are flashing a secret Test rom from htc???
There are a huge numbers of good cooked and/or stock roms available you can choose from.
As far as I was told the TMOUS 2.02 ROM is a test rom and will let you boot ONLY 1 time, so if you switch off your phone or do a soft reset - bingo - you will not be able to use your phone any more (no panic you can flash another rom).
But on top of it, I was told that this rom will send informations about your phone to htc ... once you are letting connect it to the provider and a data connection is up.
I guess this is why you see your IMEI on the screen.
There is ONLY one reason to flash this rom and this is to get the newer SPL on the phone instead of the normal 1.42 one, but than you have to know what you are doing and you need a OS rom which you can flash BEFORE letting the phone making a connection with the interenet ... (be carefull: you need a special OS whith the neccessary drivers for the new SPL, as far as I know it is NOT recommended to use this new SPL with cooked roms for the stock 1.42 SPL or the HSPL from bepe)
If there is no better advice from a real expert I would recommend that you flash your HD2 with a stock 1.66 rom for your region and than if you want you can HSPL again (or use the SSPL from bepe) and choose a rom which is suiting your needs from this forum.
Hope this is helping you.
Best regards

PS: Who dares wins, but it should be a calculated risk at least ...

I flashed the 2.02 ROM using sd-card, so also flashed SPL 2.0
Been using it for 3 weeks now. No problems at all.
All the other bs on the web is just a myth!

thank you
I've been using the phone for about half a year without 3G or HSDPA because I was out of coverage area
recently they launched 3G in my area and it could be picked up in my old TouchCruise but not on TouchDiamond2
I tried swapping the SIM Card but still got same results, it worked on the old phone but not on this one.
I was wondering if there is anything I could do to get the 3G to work as I want to make vdo calls
Thanks,
Chan.
I have had the same problem since beginning and have it resolved last moth.
Basically it should be radio firmware issue. I've tried flashing all ROM available in the Radio ROM thread, but didn't help. Lastly I reflashed my TD2 with the latest stock ROM for my area (Asia) downloaded directly from HTC website. To my supprise - although Radio version was same as my previous one (got from Radio only thread) - 3G started working!!!
Now I reflashed the phone using OS only modded ROM but 3G still OK.
ok so I have to flash the original ROM (stock rom from the htc site)
to get the 3G to work
but I dont really like the stock roms (especially not the Thai one)
would I be able to flash something else on top of it later?
Sure you can, like I did.
If your phone is un-locked with HSPL - you cannot flash the stock ROM as per HTC guideline. You need to extract the downloaded one to get the ROM .nbh file and use it for flashing like with other customized ROM. Then later you can update you phone with any customized ROM with no Radio part inside.
