Best Avaliable Radio Rom???

All,
I have recently upgrade to Xda Live v0.20 an has been working great since doing so...
I have never had any real problems with the device but latley calls have been hanging (Not able to end the call) call quality not all that good and calls cutting out....
Spoke to a friend who has upgraded his rom and said all the issues that he had went... Ah ha.... i thought... thats what i need...
So i ask... what is the latest radio rom that works and is there a small chance that i will brick my device....
Many Thanks

I'm running the LVSW Edition of WM6. I have radio 1.34.00.10 and seems to run fine though not had the OS installed long.
Would like to try radio 1.35.00.11 but cannot seem to download from xda ftp. Can anyone point to another source for this radio rom?
Cheers

http://rapidshare.com/files/20731762/RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe

Ok thanks for this....
Really worried about bricking the phone... Is it a difficult process??
Is it stable?
I know there are so many questions but i a quite new to this sort of thing...

Are you trying this site for the ftp (Hermes Uploads)? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes.
Or this one ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/
Both started downloading ok for me.
Why do you want to upgrade from 1.34.00.10 to 1.35.00.11? From what I've read in some of the other threads the only benefit the 1.35 radio has is that it is GPS enabled - not much use because the Hermes is no good for GPS.
I've made the above statements from paraphrasing others because I haven't compared these radios and don't need GPS - so I'll be happy if others correct me.
Maybe a bit of reading (probably lots really ) could save you the time of an un-necessary upgrade - but probably finding the info will take longer than flashing the rom!!!

so your saying that there is no need to upgrade my rom....
There is benefit for me in doing so?

Excuse me, but the Hermes is gooed for GPS. The only thing is that our Hermes-gods are working on an antenna. The antenna is not (yet) connected to the 'GPS-chip'. GPS worls, but there is only a weak signal.

MR1 to DCD switch and internet sharing ?

I installed the MR1 update a few weeks ago hoping to have better performance, signal, edvo, and to be able to use vz navigator. I learned a few things. First VZ navigator was not bad but it does have a monthly charge and is reliant on data. I really didn't think about tomtom but I decided to purchase the software when I read about it on here. I like the internet sharing with the higher speeds but once again a monthly charge. I now know that with DCD I can access my GPS better with tomtom and I can use internet sharing without the additional cost. However I do have a couple of questions.
Will I see better performance with DCD?
Will I get the same speeds with internet sharing? Currently I am getting 700 tp 1000 Kbps tethered using verizon connection manager. I want to try the wifi router using the phone and I think it will connect better without all the verizon hassle. Any Ideas?

Maybe some others can add on the data speed....my point of view I was stock (before the MR1) and being a tech a custom rom is always better than stock and DCD rom was. Just like WinXP is overloaded with stuff you do not need so was the OEM rom for the 6800...
In all areas for me the performance is better than OEM...I travel with my company so the GPS tt7 is great thx to two members here, data rates, the ICS to my laptop in the airport is excellent, etc...as well as other stuff. I have a verizon PC cell card and I found that the ICS speed from my device is just as good and better at times...
my two cents...

Ok, thanks what about changing the PRI. I have read that you only had to flash to the new rom amd leave the radio and PRI in place and use agps. any thoughts?

GPS without Data Charges???

Hi,
I still have my Telus branded Touch and was wondering if there was a way to get the gps working even though the phone isnt active any longer with Telus? Before it dialed into some remote server to get a really quick gps lock. I only recently pulled this thing out of the drawer cause I figured I may as well leave it in my car as a standalone tomtom gps unit. It wont lock onto any satalites though.
Any ideas? I used to have a external bluetooth gps receiever but I cant find that anywhere either.
I'm wondering if its just the rom thats on this thing.... I'm running the standard telus rom. If another rom has the ablity to lock onto GPS without the need for a cellular connection I'd be willing to try that out.
Thanks again!

I am on Verizon. I don't know the specifics about Telus. If your GPS is unlocked then technically you should be able to use your GPS without your radio being turned on. Even use it with the radio turned on & use TomTom which does not require a data connection.
As far as getting your GPS to work, I don't exactly know if the process is simular to Verizon. Perhaps someone else will lend you a hand. I did find some threads for you though.
Take a look at NFSFAN's ROM's

I know there is a "hybrid" gps setup on the the vogue that you can tweak in the registry to get only the gps chip to lock. Try searching for "hybrid gps" and such in this forum and the dev/hacking forum. It was discussed at length a little while after the htc rom upgrade releases last year.

If you are willing to upgrade to NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5, you can follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3680840#post3680840 and in Post #5 there is a cab that will disable aGPS so it won't look for a connection to help. With this you will be solely reliant on the phone's Full GPS chip, which may take anywhere from 1-5 minutes to get a full lock. It's not as sensitive as an external bluetooth GPS receiver. You can find this and other GPS/Winmo upgrades in the Vogue upgrading section of xda.

Once he upgrades it will work just like a standalone TomTom unit. I don't sound like he is going to have the phone activated anyway. The Standalone TomTom units take about 1-5 minutes to lock anyway.

Right, that why I suggested it. Since he won't be using it with service, there's no reason to stick with the stock ROM.

Enabling GPS on US Cellular Question

Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice

No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.

You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

That guide should help you out. I have some more info here that you may find useful as well.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..

cant find answer.. does any ROM fix the QNC and GPS

will any rom do QNC and GPS ? i have read that its a broken DLL and others that 6.1+ will and wont support QNC or Q2C
i having a hard time finding any info relating on the roms out there/here.
i want/need a rom that will do GPS(no data or thru QNC) and QNC (real QNC not DUN or "free" and alot of minutes with bone slow net). keep the wifi and bluetooth available.
not needed but would be nice if windows was well trimmed and speedy (unless WinMo is less of a hog than normal) and replaced with like opera mini and a lite player that doesnt get chatty with the mothership. maybe a mini game emulator for fun like MESS (but good) but that maybe hard to find
i will be doing per minute on page plus and REAL data is not in the budget and i expect to use xv6800 on IM and email mostly maybe find a weather and such not exactly heavy data use. being a former crapfone customer anything will be a improvement.
thanks a heap in advance .. if anyone can confirm it working on a release ROM or suggest a ROM that might meet what i need GPS, QNC, wifi

Moved as not ROM Development.

aye but directly related to rom devolpment and its effects on phone features

But your question is not related to discussion on a specific rom. And I haven't heard of anyone using a mogul for qnc. All new rom are gps capable with a radio of 3.xxx

the 6.0 winMo works for QNC but no GPS. 6.1+ may have a problem with the QNC.
since the main reason to flash cooked ROMs is to unlock features or make REPAIRS or improvements . the main question is do any of these ROMS 6.1+ address the fixes that i want, namely GPS and QNC along with other percs like trimmed and speeded up OS.
i suspect since there was greater problem with QNC on 6.1 that it was broken by vzw to force us to pay an aditional 30$ ++ for high speed, i know right vzw wouldnt disable features to make people pay a extra monthly fee... thats why i asked in the ROM section as i wanted to know if that was addressed
as for not knowing anyone using the titan mogol 6800 for QNC lmao. if it wasnt for QNC i doubt people would buy such old phone .. a ENV or touch pro can be had for about the same $
and if i was asking about a specific ROM i would place it in the thread related to that ROM.

I haven't seen discussion on qnc. Just unlock your phone try a rom like dcd 3.3.4. If it doesn't work with qnc then go back to you present rom.
