Magician ROM v1.12.00 available in UK

Hi all, don't have a Magician myself, but thought you lot might be interested to know that ROM v1.12.00 is available in the UK here:
http://www.buymobilephones.net/romfile_download_s100.ihtml
I've also uploaded the file to the FTP site (into the Uploads/Magician sub directory - filename=MA_DT_WWE_11200_119_11200_Ship.zip).
If anyone who knows how wants to move it to Magician/Shipped_ROMS - feel free!
I've no idea what it fixes or what new features are available, I'll leave it to you to try and maybe someone can then post what the differences are?
Craig.

Done!..
Everything is fine.. booted up with 1.12 on the splash screen
I cant find the storage folder tho
but gotta go play footy now.. will update if there are any problems soon.

Is it WWE?
Is also a new radio version installed?
regards
mikexy

It is WWE version.
Looks like new radio version:
radio.nbf - 5/31/2005
Not sure I'm going to try it yet, but maybe :twisted:

Please report back on the quality of this rom and if you run into any GPRS issues. There are quite a few of us having GPRS connections issues with the 1.11 ROM and I am hoping that the 1.12 with the new radio.nbf fixes it.
Thanks
-Mashie

please post your feedbacks about this new ROM and thanks in advance

The details are:
Device CE image version: 1.12.00 WWE
ROM date: 5/31/2005
Extended Image version: 1.12.119
Device Radio Version: 1.12.000

Can't you just patch it with mksBigStorager? Or it should be version specific version?

I can confirm it works with mksbigstorager.
It seems pretty zippy so far, I'll let you know the good/bad later.

Great! Thanks for the info!

Someone reported on HoFO that the GPRS reconnection issues are still there with 1.12. :-(

whats new in this release then? no release notes?

Radio sucks, RF is piss-poor. I'm downgrading my radio back to 1.11 or maybe 1.05

Ah,crap.... just finished big storagepatching it.... Let's see, how it will work for me

My RF seems to be fine. BTW, can we just upgrade/downgrade Radio stack without having patch the whole ROM again with big storage? I mean, just run update for radio.nb file

just upgraded my jam and it's a bit faster than before tho i haven't installed all the programs that i use..... sound quality is really good.. and no GPRS problem for me since the GSM compnay fixed their problem here..... and better screen respons
Ext_ROM doesn't have lots of programs just few and the MMS composer is still version 2.0.0.22 and not 2.0.0.23 which comes with the PDA2K......
if anyone wants the ext_rom let me know and i will upload it
cheeeeers and i will post update as i re-install all of my programs back

Question about the radio-only upgrades...

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!
SP

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!

Major problems with Radio need advice

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!

Problem after installing radio 1.59.46.12

I have installed this radio and now under command manager I can't activate wi-fi since the button is now greyish. Actually the wi-fi works if activated from setting but it's still annoying. Is there a way to fix it or is just a radio issue?
Rom: Kostas244_ROM3g_23016_FINAL_B1

First say hello for your first post and give us more detail about your configuration.
SPL ? ROM ? old radio ? version ?

Oh, sorry about that. I registered some month ago so I though I had alredy made some post here...Let's start all over again
Hi everyone this is my first post here and I need some help.
I just upgraded my Polaris from 3LIT3 VI (Windows 6.1) to Kostas244_ROM3g_23016_FINAL_B1 (Windows 6.5). Everything was working fine until this morning when I upgraded my radio from 1.65.30.09, that was included in my old ROM, to 1.59.46.12.
The problem is that I can't activate wi-fi from the command manager anymore because its button is now disable but if I use the connection settings to activate it everything works.
Any idea to fix this issue?

Known problem, which might sometimes occur. Try to Hardreset
once or twice and most likely the Wifi button will be available
again as sudden as it greyed out. Once it's working it will
stay working.
Olioaglio

Thank you!
After one hard reset I got back the wi-fi button. Anyway I think a sticky thread about radios with their problem and feature would be great .

What is the diffence between these two radios 1.59.42.15 (my current) and 1.59.46.12? I read that 1.59.46.12 was newer but is it recommended to upgrade? Are there any benefits to signal strength or the like?

You can upgrade and see for yourself what radio version is best for you and your location....From 1.59.46.12 you can downgrade easily to your previous radio if it's not good for you.

Is this could be Olinex version problem?

Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?

I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks

Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance

My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1

I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks

Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.

Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks

I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks
