Missing FM Radio + GSen crashing on boot

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.

Newbie Question about Upgrading Radio... XV6900

I currently have a xv6900 and I have the "newest" verizon radio. I put newest in quotes because I have Radio 3.37.78 . I've seen other radios that are higher but they are on different Carriers. Can/should I upgrade and would it have any adverse effects?

Can you? Yes. Should you? not necessarily... just because the number is higher, doesn't mean it is newer. I would stick to what you've got for a radio unless a newer radio comes out that actually fixes or changes something.

If you're thinking about flashing custom roms, then upgrade. If not, then stay with what you got.

help with my internet didnt know where to post
so i have htc xv6900 from verizon. i have it flashed for cricket and the internet was fine but i love messing with phones lol so i ended up flashing my rom to the wm 6.5(sprint htc touch pro) and had to get a program to get the unlock code to get into my ##778# and the info is right but my data connection is not going through #777 which it was at first so is there a program or app that i can run to connect or sprints code or jus something to get internet back to my phone thank you sorry if i post it in the wrong place

I have a Verizon XV6900 also, same radio as yours and i am using custom roms just fine, didn't need to upgrade radio, but also i am not screwing with GPS setting either.

please info me step by step

Did you even read the link? It tells you what to do.
Plus, your not giving us much info to go on. And actually, I'm guessing if you searched with some of the details of how your nosgm started, someone probably already experienced it and has a conclusion of how to fix/couldn't fix.

help me please infor me step by step

No GSM showing means that something went wrong with the radio rom upgrade.
I suggest that you try to downgrade to the official rom for your device. Then you can upgrade to whatever version of OS you want, but make sure that the rom does not contain radio upgrade.

The Issue "No GSM" is because of bad sodering contacts between the QC and Samsung flash or the Samsung CPU and the contiguous flash (samsung) and it resuts all the strange behaviours of this HTC model. Anyway for me it's another proof of samsung quality
Low emission soldering + thin ICs (big foolish sandwich FLASH/CPU) + over located Keyboard = possible cold/bad contact soldering problem.
The proof is the many "NoGSM" issues got without any trying ROM update, or the too many 2XX errors during upgrade.

Do you have a problem with the radio not working?(not able to receive signal, make/receive calls/text?) Cause i had the same problem. Anyways, the way i fixed it is by dissasembling the 8525, and reassembling it back together. Then i flashed the official wm6 rom with 1.48 radio, and it works fully now.
I heard that no gsm can occur with a failed radio flash, which i think is unrepairable, except by replacing the motherboard. If it wasnt a failed radio flash, then i think theres several methods to remedy it. Just try all the methods including mines. Hope you get it to work, theres been too many "no gsm" errors lately. Whoever designed the 8525 should be shot for making such a weak phone.

yea, I think it's maybe a wrong radio rom
you should downgrade back to shipped "official" rom for Dopod838pro, like this rom

rogers HTC MAGIC

Hello Everyone,
This is my first Driod device. I used to use a BB but my friend gave me an HTC Rogers magic and I figured I would give it a try. It does NOT have the 911 patch installed. I may by the Samsung Captive S when it comes out to Rogers and I figured I would try Andriod with this phone first. I have a couple of questions:
- When i try installing the 911 patch my phone disconnects from HTC sync for some reason. HTC sync finds the phone prior to the patch install but when i try installing the patch it give me an error msg asking me to check my usb cable. Any thoughts why? I am running windows 7 64bit.
-How hard is it to root the HTC Magic? I am not that good with programming code or anything like that. I was told i should upgrade to 2.1 but i need to root it first.
-any other helpful links or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry i just wanted to add that my friend told me i may need to sign the Rogers HTC magic wavier before i root my phone or they will cut off my data. Anyone know if this is true.
Thanks

easy root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756942
10 min max and no need of code experience
Give it a try :0)

Not sure about the waiver but I would definitely load a different ROM than what Rogers ships by default.
On my Rogers Magic I've just loaded the Froyo Redux 1.7 mod which is based on CyanogenMOD 6.0 RC3. Works like a champ!
I recommend that you spend some time reading these forums a bit before jumping in. your patience will be rewarded!
Many rogers magic users have been through this before so its likely any question you have has already been answered.
good luck!
