After upgrading to ver rom 1.11 both os and radio ive noticed that when others hear me talk i sound like a robot. I rang my own phone and a friend talked to me. It was awful! Sounds like a robot to the extreme! Is there any solutions?
I would have thought the newest radio (1.11) should be the best?
Cheeers
Where did you get the latest version from?
Hi,
Where can I get the latest version of the software for T-Mobile MDA Compact?
Br,
Deyan
I just searched the forums!... :wink:
Can you please send a link of where we can find the T-Mobile ROM... Was it in english or German?
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.

is this SSPL?
I guess you guys have older Softbanks, mine is a post April 07 model which does not allow the radio to be upgraded

hi guys,
So I decided to flash Touch-IT Xperience v3.0 ROM on my phone I followed all the steps and flashed it with out using the MicroSD card. But the i noticed thats it kinda laggy so decided to get GENERIC X1A english North America NAM ROM I flashed it same way like the touch-it one but after it got done and phone restarted it keeps freezing on the SE logo My phone was branded vodafone uk maybe that caused the problem? Could someone please help me out and tell me how to fix this?
Hard-reset may solve your problems (search for it on this forum). Or try a different ROM. I had problems with a previous ROM and then tried Jack's and its realllllllly good now, in my opinion. ROMs' effect and usability differ from phone to phone sometimes... no idea why.
(my handset is also Voda UK)
Installed generic UK rom works fine now
Not sure if it's the same on x1 but are there any tricolor bootloader on x1? if yes you could hood it up on your computer and might flash it using your computer i guess...
have the same problem, without trying to flash. just rebooting the phone... Any ideas ?
Has anybody idea how to change the P/N number by this phone? In many countries is not possible to apply official language package, because it checks the P/N number of the phone. For example: I bought HTC HD2 by T-mobile (ver 1.48) and I've done the HSPL ,,crack,,. Than I uploaded official HD2 rom (ver WWE 1.66) to the phone. Everything works great, but if I want to upload the language pack, there is no possible to do it. Because I have HTC HD2 with P/N: 99HJY037-00 and the package require PN: 99HJY005-00 only. Is there any way to change the PN??? Thanks
Hi there, does anybody got any idea about this issue? Friend of mine bought older HD2 branded by T-Mobile, i've flashed WWE rom, but im getting stucked after language pack installation :-/
Any ideas will be really appreciated.
