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!

Help needed for Upgrade...

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Orbit and I need to upgrade that to WM6.1, currently I have WM6.0 Pro running on it....i have been reading threads relating to the upgrade but i rather got confused...i really need somebody to explain me the following please:
1. Can my phone be upgraded to WM6.1?
2. If yes then how can I do this in a secure way without risking my phone?
I would really appreciate your efforts...Oh just in case you might need the info, I've detailed my "Device Information" below:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
ROM version: 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM date: 4/18/07
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version: 3.4.206.101
RAM size: 64 MB
THANKS!!

1. Yes, your phone can be upgraded to WM 6.1
2. The operation is not riskless, but you can minimize those risks by reading carefully posts concerning CID unlocking and flashing...start from here and good luck: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis

well i got the idea pretty much and thx for ur reply appreciate it but now where can i find ROMs and which one will be good for my phone...and i also read tht my radio version shud be the same as the ROM version now how shud i check dat??

Windows Mobile and radio builds have different serial numbers, you'll never have the same .Just choose what you like the most.. ROMS are here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms and radios are here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades. Obviously your device MUST be CID unlocked first. Take time to read a little bit..I can't flash it for you from my home
P.S: Our device is very versatile but not so powerful (low ram & cpu), I suggest to choose a ROM that doesnt have useless heavy graphic complications..No "cubes" nor "manillas" or whatsoever...It may look pretty but quite unusable, but this is just an opinion

lolxx of course u cant...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)

lolxx of course u cant but i just wanted a suggestion as to which ROM shud i select which will look good and flashy since u guys knw better...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)

Radio upgrade is optional (theoretically) but if never done , i suggest to do it. Can greatly improve gsm ,wifi, gps reception and battery consumption. Anyway as you can see I'm only a normal member of this forum (with a bit of experience), don't take what i say as gold!

oh ok...so the thread u mentioned for the ROM upgrade der were like 15-20 upgrades one said : WM6 from Orbit English 3.4.207.1 02.69.90 4.1.13.28 17745.0.2.3....is this for upgrade frm WM6.0 to WM6.1 or WM5.0 to WM6.0?
and then there are some which goes by the name of WM6.1 B&B v5.0, PDAVIET WM6.1, Greasy Weasel Evolution 2.x, Mossi meets Anja31 v1, Fredelius WM6.1 so which one shud i go for???

As you can see from my signature, my ROM is in italian, i'm afraid you're not interested in..otherwise i would recommend it straight away (even if its already 1.5 years old..).I'm extremely happy with it, tried many others (included pdaviet 6.5) and quickly returned to it. There is no "the best rom of all", each one has pros and bugs..must try and try again...The general rule in my opinion is to look for a light,clean updated Windows build that includes the latest patches (e.g. for bigger memcards, for camera,bluetooth etcetera). No need to look for a ROM that expressely says it's for Orbit...just choose a WM6 or 6.1 from Artemis section

Thanks bro u've been a big help...caio

It was a pleasure, no big deal..I understand that at the beginning one's little bit scared and has many doubts...that is why I insist that you DO READ CAREFULLY instructions and the forum in general..A couple of last hints: CID unlocking i necessary only ONCE, after that you can flash all the coocked roms you want. If I'm not wrong, radio upgrade doesnt need CID unlocking, you can do it before all operation without risk nothing. CIAO
If you have news (hope good) about your upgrade let me now!

for sure!!

ah, just wondering..don't have experience in it, but as you have an "Orbit", doesnt that mean that it is also SIM locked? Maybe you have some additional steps to do, check it!

No it isnt i have a different network SIM then O2 in the phone for abt 2 years...if tht is wht u mean by SIM locked??

Yes it's what I meant.Well it's a good start..I was looking around for some ROMs for you, unfortunately some screenshots have been removed from the latest ones but let me link one as an example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364883. It is not the very latest build but I rembember it was woking very well. Obviously,i'd choose the NON CUBE version

oh thx as a matter of fact i have downloaded the same ROM wid the cube before u mentioned abt it ...and yeh it looked good lets c how it works

before CID unlocking my phone i tried to update the Radio ROM but when i pressed update it showed me da current ROM version and the version it will be which was 1.00.00000 however i downloaded the 3.34.90...anyways i continued and after 79% it gave me an error[290] saying the image was corrupted...den i downloaded the ROM from a different link and the same problem...any idea whts goin on??

Try another source or try my radio : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374430
If problem persists go with CID unlock.

UPDATE:
YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK phone before upgrading the radio aswell, I've just read it at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades, it says "You need to flash Artemis USPL before flashing these radios, for more info refere to the USPL thread". Cmon man!! take a little time to read!

well lemme tell u im running vista on my laptop but then i have a PC which is has XP...i've tried on both its the same error...after trying to update the Radio ROM i tried the CID Unlock...after the DOS process the phone screen goes blank and den the tri color screen appears which eventually installs the ROM to unlock but then again its the same error as earlier wid the Radio ROM upgrade

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

Yes, you are on the right path except for the last part...You have to rename the extracted file (of the radio) to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device....Visit this link for more info on how to install a radio and this link for a list of TMobile compatible radios..
P.S. Different radios perform either better/worse for us all...As it all depends on ur location, service provider etc...So u can try different radios and see which works best for you but never flash a radio that's not meant for ur device as it might brick it.

ok, thx, i already made the radio change to the 2.14.50.04 but dint notice any difference in the signal, change to the 2.12.50.02, and still don't notice, im gone install the new 1 2.15.50.14 and see how it goes, guess i need to keep trying, thx again for responding, and btw im from Costa Rica if someone knows wth radio will be the beast for me, please tell me....

How to update the Radio?

Hello people i downloaded yesterday this SD Android Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
Then i tried this... i started usually the clrad.exe and then the Haret.exe....
Then i came to a blackscreen with a small white text on the left corner of the Disply... i waited and waited and nothing happended....
I tried this more ten 10 Times bu it dont works....
Then i found out that i have to flash my Radio...
My actually Rom is : 2.05.51.05_2
I read on the internet that i have to install first HSPL and then i can flash my Radio..?Right?
And is it dangerous?
But i do not know wich HSPL or Radio i should take, to make running my HTC HD2 Android...
Please can you help me?
Can you give me the link to HSPL and Radio Rom please...
My SPL is 1.42.0000... and so on
I found that there is a hspl and hspl2 3, and 4... wich should i take?
Sorry for my verry bad english...
Greetings from Austria

You can use hspl 2, 3 or 4, makes no difference. For me, I would use hspl2 and select "2.08.hspl" and then flash radio 2.15.50.

and is it safe or dangerous?
can i brick my phone?
can i use then android rom on myphone if i install the spl that you mentioned?

Bumppppppppppp

Safe (always some risk with flashing) but the "wrong radio" bricks you have read about don't affect you, that's tmous only.
as for installing android, assuming you mean nand androud, it will ONLY install on that spl (2.08.hspl)

radio !!
the tmous version can be bricked by a wrong rom probably the .51 ones !!!
but the radio 2.15.50.14 is the latest and a stable radio for both tmous and eu/asian models !!
also u might want to flash the radio depending on your country for receiving better network and signal strength as different radios have different reviews !!
happy flashing ! !!

so i should flash this radio : 2.15.50.14??
what is tmous?
im living in austria...

Yep, that one will do fine.
Tmous = t mobile us, red end key, says T-Mobile under earpiece. All other hd2 are "regular" with white keys.
