I was just wondering if i can update the radio software/firmware on my phone to a newer one without having to install a newer rom and if i can what is the best version for use with O2-UK. Is there also a chance it may solve the sms not being recieved issue?
I currently have 2.07 radio installed (came installed on the phone from new) and i have seen mentions of 2.10 and 2.11 radio. I've also see in the last few days somone saying they use the taiwan radio for the uk to give better signal strangth. How does that work?
Yes, it can be done...dont know the tread but will see if I can find it!
Here you have the info...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1
OK cool and thanks cfds. Now next question, whats the best version of the radio to use for O2-UK?
Hello,
I have a question. In order to use that Custom RUU to flash a new radio do I have to install HSPL or I just use it without other modifications to my phone?
Thank you!
That's a good question actually, I hadn't thought of that.

You may have a look into the related Radio thread in the HD2 ROM Development section:

Installing:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

I have found 2.10.50.19_2 works the best for me on O2 in my area ,yes you will need HSPL to do any raidio flashing but a radio flash wont hard rest your phone so get flashing!!!
I can't find your radio version, Grant

Where did you get that radio from? I looked in the radio thread and the newest one i could see there was 2.10.50.08_2. Also did you install the newest rilphone.dll when you flashed your radio? That also begs the question what is the newest version of that file?

Hmmm maybe it was a typo....
And it's true, the latest radio (in my case 2.10.50.08_2) works brilliantly with my O2 sim. Also, when you select a network (I use Energy's roms) Select O2 PrePay. Those are the correct settings

Ok, sweet. Two questions then. Should i update rilphone.dll to the newest version (whatever that is) and which version of hspl should i use because i have hspl and hspl2

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669042 and no i never messed with rilphone.dll as i read it was best to leave that alone.
Thanks for the link. I've installed 1.42.hspl and the radio from the link provided so lets see what happens.
there are also 2.10.50.26_2 & 2.10.50.28_2 raidios all off them work ok on o2 but i have found 2.10.50.19_2 the best signal in my area of the uk.
this does seem to have improved my signal but if i walk round the corner from the flat to a mates house i couldn't get a 3G signal at all so we will see if this helps

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.

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!
Hello,
I have the bepe rom 0.58 for my french Polaris.
My version of radio is: 1.58.21.23
My version of protocol is : 25.65.30.04H
Where can i get the new versions of radio and/or protocol? And how to install it, keeping the bepe rom?
Thanks in advance
http://rapidshare.com/files/99464281/Polaris_ONLY_Radio_1_58_25_14_Sign_25_69_30_05.rar
Make a backup before flash, or search xda for a utility that prevent you from
a hard reset ....
Thank you very much !
But will it erase and replace my actual rom (bepe WM6.1 WWE_1.28.405.1), or simply update radio version and protocol version?
Because I want to keep my actual rom that i like very much and simply update radio and protocol versions.
Thanks in advance !
PS: And finally, how can i install swtos file? By executing what file in the rar archive? ROM.exe?
Sorry, I am a beginner with Windows Mobile and don't want to make errors ^^
Only update radio version and protocol version!

I would not recommend you to update your Radio to a test version. The test Radio is flawed and you will have problems with Bluetooth. It doesnt offer any (significant?) advantages at all, I would keep your current Radio which is stable and works.

Suddenly my FM Radio isn't able to receive any station and the bluetooth refuses to start. I'm going back to the 21.23 radio to see if I can solve it. I tried 2 different cooked ROM (bepe's 0.58 and swtos' BlackWidow latest ROM) and it reamains the same...
Wah!!! I thought that I had the necessary files to reflash 1.58.21.23, but they were from another model! (Kaiser). Now I'm not able to find where this version is available to download. Everybody seems to have the 25.14.
Does anybody know where to download the original radio ROM version?? Thanks a lot!

I'll see in a while whether it solves my BT and FM Radio issue or not. It appears that this is a recurrent problem since I have seen some people having it. I don't know if it is because of the OS ROM or because of the Radio ROM.
It didn't work. It appears that my BT and FM Radio died. HELP! I don't know the reason and what it even more strange it that it suddenly stopped working without making any change.

This is exactly what other users reported, after flashing 1.58.25.14. Some users (including) myself got it back working after flashing the original Radio, some - obviously like you - never got their Bluetooth running again. They reported "Hardware error" when trying to switch it on.
I guess it's time to send your Polaris in for repairs...
till 1 year I am following your forum.One week ago I have loaded HTC_POLARIS_-_PDAVIET_ROM_WM6.5_(Core_21169)_by_TranMinhMan to my polaris and the radio has become 1.65.30.09 but now when I try to change the radio or try to use a ROM with radio 1.54.xx.xx I have error on ROM update utility
I have flashed my polaris once more with HardSPL but I was not able to change the radio
Pleas help

Radio 1.54.xx.xx is not for Polaris.
You need 1.59.xx.xx or 1.65.xx.xx radio for your ROM.
Sascha
Dont use with this ROM Radio 1.54... Use ver.1.59 or 1.65...
Maybe is your radio file corrupted...
I have made a small mistake I would write the radio 1.58.xx.xx
Don´t use radio 1.58, only 1.59 or 1.65!!! Version 1.58 is not compatible with this ROM. And version 1.65 works very good.

Check your RUU package, there is no problem in flashing a different radio on 1.65.30.09, but that need to be a compatible one for this ROM as explained above.
this was quite painful, to downgrade the radio, nothing worked for me, except fashing official rom RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.rar

Yes, the main rom is the wm portion, but the radio also comes in rom format for flashing purposes.
- Does they both have Cooked versions ?

No, the wm roms have cooked versions, the radio roms are normally just extracted from official roms.
- Being Locked or Unlocked to a specific network, to which ROM does this relate ?

Flashing roms does not impact on the locked/unlocked status of the phone.

Flashing the rom or radio is up to you. Depending on which rom you choose, some roms do require a specific radio version.

- How can i know if it is up to date ?

Go to HTC.com and enter your serial number. As you got your device from the US, you will have to check up there as the devices are area bound wrt updates.

That is up to you, there is no "must" update.

A matter of personal preference. wrt radios, try a few different ones to see which one works best for you.

As above, flashing does not affect the locking\unlocking, so it will remain unlocked.

Radios are area dependent, so try changing the radio to see if that helps.

Hi, I upgraded my phone to the latest stock ROM and my SPL from 1.14 changed to 1.54. Is this the way things work or I have done something wrong ?
AFAIK, it's all as it should be.
Now you can enter the world of USPL / HSPL and custom ROMs...
On Device Information it says that the rom version is 1.56.479.0, the radio is 1.13.25.24. Is this as is should be ?
