Radio?? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

When I Soft Reset my SPV M5000 is shows the normal setup and displays the Radio and ROM #'s. Well The ROM says 1.13.49 WWE but the Radio says 0.00.00 ?? My PPC still works but what does this mean I have no Radio?

Has buzz's unlocker ever been used on the phone? That sets the radio version to 0.00.00
Alan

flash it with radio 1.15 ?

I bought it from someone over the internet, so I have no idea of its history? I wanted to upgrade to wm6 but
wasnt sure if it was fully unlocked or had a damaged radio? Is there a way I can find out if it is fully unlocked
and ready for wm6?

What exactly does the Radio do?

Radio is responsible for the cellular part of your device.
Try flashing it with some radio rom and see if the situation changes

Unlocking with R6.25.02

Anybody knows how to unlock the T-Mobile XDA with this radio stack. I have downgraded by ROM to 3.17 but the XDAUnlock still wouldn't work. I get Error Getting Unlock Code. Based on what I see it does not seem to be a good idea to downgrade the RSU. If I do downgrade I can't find how to upgrade the RSU back to the current version.
1. Any help?
2. Will the XDAUnlock be modified to support this radio stack?
I agree with you it's not safe to flash the RSU, but if it's the only way then you will have to do it ... or it's better to get the lock key from your operator.
I downgraded the RSU...
Worked!
I tried unlocking the phone...
Worked!
Now I see no signal.... Do I have to upgrade the RSU again?
If so how can I do that?
thanks in advance for your help!!!
Upgraded Radio from uspocketpcphone.com and it worked!!!!!
HI. if you are trying to upgrade the radio stack, make sure that the radio stack is built for what kind of WM OS. For example, if you downgrade or upgrade the radio stack that you with Tmoble, make sure that the radio stack must support you Tmobile OS. I have tried may times and found out that AT And T just suits for AT&T rom, Tmobile, just for Tmobile rom, O2 must for O2 Rom. There is no way that you can swap one radio stack to another rom.
Again, I don't have radio stack 6.25 but I have radio stack 6.24 for Tmoble. I will upload if you need it.
Again, if you don't mind, can upload the radio stack 3.17 for me. thanks.

You were right!!!
I wish I could have read your post earlier.
I upgraded the radio on my own phone (i was working on my friends phone yesterday). Then there was no signal.
I tried downgrading to 3.17 (on yorch.net) and it froze and now my phone is dead. it restarted but it shows no radio version and no signal.
any ideas???

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!

Radio Roms

Can the radio roms for the Wizard [T-Mobile MDA] be used on the Wing or are they device specific? The radio rom on the Wing is crap!
It also seems that the older Radio ROM on the Dopod C800 does not work with the WM6 upgrade...
But there doesn't seem to be an easy way to flash another ver of Radio into a CID locked Herald.
Would anyone recommend using pdocwrite to do that?

I even couldnĀ“t dump the radiorom by pdocread neither with awizard.
SO how to write?
When you have an nbh file it contains all. The wizard file fomat nbf - could be dumpde one by one. But the nbh - ? dont know. I couldnĀ“t read the radio - so writing??

USPL needed with SPL1.11?

If you got SPL 1.11, USPL isn't needed anymore, am i right? I just updated, without running USPL
Okay, it's better do it instead of bricking.... ...Cheers....
Your right peter if people still are cid unlocked after uspl unlocking - i.e. there spl is still 1.11.0000 they dont need to run it again. Its just a good rule especially for noobs.
Changes?
Thanks for new radio, but i have one question. Is it needed to repeat install every new GSM radio? I have now 2.97.90...What are the benefits and differences?
plz another link to download trouble with megaupload
In theory newer gsm radio has better battery life and reception - on testing all good at the moment.
I'll upload to rapidshare too.
THANK YOU
meschle MERCI it ' s good radio...
Thanks, just download it and will test it ...

Cheers!

Only for artemis mate
I flashed my Artemis. Lets hope for a better battery life
XtR3m3R i didn't do test but i found my battery life more longer ,also my proc is overclocked to 247Mhz ,hope same thing for you
Will I have to backup my device prior to upgrading the radio, or will my info etc still be in place?
in place, ive done radio rom upgrades a dozern times and never lost data yet.
although I have problems with this rom. infact any radio above 02.94.90.
I have a T-Mobile MDA III in the UK. Any rom over 02.94.90 constantly says I am roaming and causes push mail and some others to stop. Contacted T-Mob, replaced sim, hard reset etc and the only thing that stopped it was to downgrade the radio rom.

9090 wm6 no radio-rom. (?)

hi all,

1. No, you cant use the phone without a radio rom

ty ! that means that my phone isnt stuck but just a lack of the radio-rom.!
Just one comment: did you try to make a soft reset? RadioROM does not show when you first put battery in. You need to turn it on and then, after 5-10s make a soft-reset - radio rom should show up.
Also, if your device is locked to another operator, it will seen as if the BA could not access network, but in fact in the SIM lock problem.
At least, that's what happened to me.
